Light Phenomenon in Religious Building Interior and Its Influence to People Perception

We have known that each human has unique character, both physically and psychologically. This unique character caused behavior of one people differs from the others. People behavior is directly and indirectly influenced by psychological factor that cause his perception differ from the others.  Some supplementary factors also influenced people psychological factor such as education and cultural background, gender, habit, and many other factors (each factor has different percentage of influence). However, although people percept differently, they would have the same tendencies under similar supplementary factor (such as of education and cultural background similarities). These perception and supplementary factors would affect their personal perception and behavior, so they began to response differently to space and lighting.  Lighting in interior design is one of the most remarkably factor people see. If there was no light (natural or artificial lighting) available in an architectural space, people could not percept anything. However, when light existed in an architectural space, people began to percept space around them under their psychological factor. Therefore, human perception could be different in each person depend on their background. Some substances such as light strength, light intensity and color yielded by the light also created  different perception of  the people. &nbsp

Profiles of Cortisol, Triiodothyronine, Thyroxine and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio as Stress Indicators in Swamp Buffaloes 15 Days Post-Transportation

Transportation may cause stress that affects livestock\u27s health. This research was conducted to observe the effect of transportation on the profiles of blood cortisol, triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio as stress indicators during 15 days post-transportation. Four females swamp buffaloes, 2-yr-old were used in this research. The animals were transported using an open truck, along 15 kilometers distance for 2 h. During acclimatization, the animals were fed grass twice a day and access to water ad libitum. Blood was collected at the time of arrival and everyday for 15 d post-transportation. Cortisol, T3 and T4were analyzed using Radioimmunoassay (RIA) method. Blood smears were also prepared and stained with Giemsa for leukocyte differential counts. Results showed a significant relation (P<0.05) between transport and an increase in cortisol and T4 level on day-1 post-transportation compared to the normal levels. The level of T3 was also increased on day-3 post-transportation. Total leukocyte counts were 8.91-18.83×10³/μL. Neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte counts were 4.87-10.41×10³/μL, 0.66-1.75×10³/μL, 0.11-0.58×10³/μL, and 2.98-6.21×10³/μL, respectively. N/L ratio was 1.23-3.49 with >1.5 in average throughout the period of the research. It is concluded that transportation causes stress and therefore changes metabolic process

Improvement of Lamb Preweaning Performance by Combination of Superovulation of Ewes Prior to Mating and Temulawak Extract Plus Administration During Pregnancy

Abstract. Superovulation is one of a reproductive technology to improve livestock productivity. The research was conducted to optimize the superovulation technology by combining it with administration of temulawak extract plus during pregnancy. Sixteen ewes were injected prostaglandin hormone at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight intramuscularly twice, with eleven days interval, to synchronize estrous cycle. On the eleventh day, superovulation was  induced by injection of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin  hormone at a dose of 200 IU/ewe intramuscularly. The ewes showing the estrous signs were mated naturally. Temulawak extract plus was administered weekly during pregnancy with a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight. Parameters measured in this study were lambs birth weight and preweaning growth. Superovulation increased average litter size. The result showed that, regardless of litter size, superovulation increased lambs birth weight by 15% as compared to controls and temulawak extract plus groups. Superovulation before mating and temulawak extract plus administration during pregnancy improved lambs growth in the first month and the third month postpartum. Superovulation prior to mating increased lambs birth weight and improved lambs growth performance before weaning. Keywords: superovulation, temulawak extract plus, lambs growth performance, ewes Abstrak.  Superovulasi merupakan salah satu teknologi reproduksi untuk meningkatkan produktivitas ternak. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengoptimalkan teknologi superovulasi dengan menggabungkan pemberian ekstrak temulawak plus selama kebuntingan. Enam belas domba disuntik hormon prostaglandin dengan dosis 10 mg/kg bobot badan secara intramuskular sebanyak dua kali, dengan selang waktu sebelas hari, untuk menyesuaikan siklus estrus. Pada hari ke sebelas, superovulasi diinduksi dengan injeksi pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin hormon dengan dosis 200 IU/domba secara intramuskuler. Domba yang menunjukkan tanda-tanda estrus kemudian dikawinkan secara alami. Ekstrak temulawak plus diberikan setiap minggu selama kebuntingan dengan dosis 1 mg/kg bobot badan. Parameter yang diukur dalam penelitian ini adalah bobot lahir anak domba dan pertumbuhan prasapih. Superovulasi meningkatkan rata-rata litter size. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, terlepas dari litter size, superovulasi meningkatkan bobot lahir anak domba sebesar 15% dibandingkan dengan kelompok ekstrak temulawak plus. Superovulasi sebelum kawin dan pemberian ekstrak temulawak plus selama kebuntingan  meningkatkan pertumbuhan anak domba di bulan pertama dan bulan ketiga paska melahirkan. Superovulasi sebelum perkawinan meningkatan berat lahir anak domba dan meningkatan performa pertumbuhan anak domba sebelum penyapihan. Kata kunci: superovulasi, temulawak ekstrak plus, kinerja pertumbuhan anak domba, domba Andriyanto et al/Animal Production 14(3):167-172, September 201

Efektivitas Multivitamin Dan Meniran (Phyllanthus Neruri L.) Dalam Menurunkan Stres Pada Domba Selama Transportasi [Efficacy of Multivitamin and Meniran (Phyllanthus Neruri L.) on Decreasing Stress in Priangan Sheep During Transportation]

Sheep is one of achievable animal protein sources. Therefore, they need to be transported to/in different places to fulfill the demand of mutton. This research was conducted to know the impact of transportation on stress as presented by leucocyte differentiation (N:L ratio). Blood were taken from sheep without stress transportation as a control for 12 hours.In this research, 12 sheep were divided into 3 groups: KP (control with stress),PA (stress with combination multivitamin and meniran - Phyllanthus niruri L.), PB (stress with combination multivitamin).Blood samples were taken at 0 hour (pre-transportation), 4h, 8h, 12h (during transportation) and 24h, 48h, 72h (post-transportation) to observe leucocyte differentiation. The results showed that ratio N:L (as stress indicator) were higher at all time periods during transportation and after the transportation. Sheep as a control group had reached the peak of ratio N:L at 0 h, meanwhile sheep with combination of multivitamin and meniran at 12 h and sheep with multivitamin only at 8. It means that the sheep with combination of multivitamin and meniran treatment was more effective to response the transportation stress
