"Manusia dan makhluk hidup lainnya seperti hewan ikut berperan dan tinggal dalam sebuah lingkup bangun arsitektur. Akan tetapi, dalam kenyatannya masih banyak pemahaman yang terbatas mengenai kebutuhan hewan dalam lingkup bangun ini yang dapat menyebabkan kondisi wellbeing mereka terganggu. Tulisan ini akan menelusuri bagaimana hewan mengkonstruksi makna dari sebuah lingkup bangun ruang arsitektur. Penelusuran ini dilakukan dengan melihat respons kucing peliharaan sebagai aktor terhadap affordance pada pengaturan surface dan objek yang ada di tiap ruangan rumah. Penelusuran ini dilakukan dengan menambahkan campur tangan aktor lain dan variasi jenis material sebagai aspek tambahan dari luar yang ikut menentukan bentuk respons terhadap affordance. Dari penelusuran tersebut, dapat dipahami bahwa hewan memahami dan memaknai sebuah lingkup bangun arsitektur melalui affordance yang ditawarkan oleh lingkup bangun tersebut. Kemungkinan-kemungkinan aksi yang dihasilkan dari respons terhadap affordance inilah yang akan menjadi penentu bagaimana pada akhirnya hewan dapat memaknai sebuah arsitektur. Hasil penelusuran ini diharapkan dapat menjadi sebuah titik acuan dan arahan untuk mengeksplorasi karya arsitektur yang ramah bagi hewan.

Architecture is not only made to accommodate the needs of human being but also any other living things such as animals. However, there is still a lack of knowledge and practices regarding the needs of animals within architectural space that leads to the degradation of its physical and psychological wellbeing. This writing attempts to explore how the animals perceives and constructs the architectural meaning in order to fills the knowledge gap within architectural practices. In particular, this writing explores the construction of meaning by investigating the case of how domestic cats, as the actors, response the affordance that is contained within the layout of surface and objects. Another factor that responsible in shaping this response are the intervention of another actor human and variation in materials. As a result, it can be understood that animals perceives and interprets an architecture through the affordance of the environment which offered to the animal. Action possibilities as a result of the affordance will determine on how animals interprets an architecture and its meaning. The findings from this exploration would result in a guide or a reference for a better animal friendly architecture."

"Kenaikan suhu global bumi hingga 2 0C memberi pengaruh nyata terhadap produktivitas sapi. Efek negatif kenaikan suhu global dapat dikurangi dengan mempelajari adaptasi hewan pada tingkat individu hingga gen. penelitian bertujuan untuk mempelajari respons fisiologi dan ekspresi gen termoregulator Hsp90 dan ATP1A1 sapi Bali di beberapa daerah di Inonesia. Pengumpulan data fisiologi, sampel darah sapi dn kondisi lingkungan dilakukan di Cipelang Kabupaten Bogor, Desa Lompo Tengah Kabupaten Barru, Desa Sumber Klampok Kabupaten Buleleng, dan Desa Telaga Bertong Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat. Sampel darah diambil dari vena jugularis untuk diisolasi RNA, lalu ditranskripsi balik menjadi cDNA yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan proses qRT-PCR. Ekspresi gen dilakukan dengan metode komparasi deltas Ct dengn normalisasi oleh gen GADPH.Analisis data fisiologi dan kondisi lingkungan dengan uji multivariate dan korelasi Pearson, sedangkan analisis ekspresi gen dengan uji Kruskal-Wallis. Suhu udara, kelembaban udara dan intensitas matahari di empat lokasi berbeda nyata p=0 , tetapi kecepatan angin tidak berbeda nyata p=0,056 , sehingga mempengaruhi perbedaan suhu kulit, suhu rektum, suhu tubuh dan laju pernapasan. Respons sapi terhadap cekaman panas dengan cara peningkatan suhu kulit, suhu rektum, suhu tubuh, laju pernapasan, peningkatan ekspresi gen Hsp90 dan ATP1A1. Rasio ekspresi gen Hsp90/GADPH dan ATP1A1/GADPH berbeda setiap lokasi penelitian karena dipengaruhi kondisi iklimnya.

Earth 39 s global temperature rise to 2 0C had a significant effect on the productivity of cattle. The negative effect of the global temperature rise can be reduced by studying the adaptation of animals at the individual level to the gene level. The research aimed to study the physiology response and gene expression of Hsp90 dan ATP1A1 on Bali cattle in some areas in Indonesia. The physiology profiles of cattle, blood samples and environmental conditions were collected from Cipelang, Lompo Tengah village, Sumber Klampok village and Telaga rtong village. Blood samples were taken from jugular vein to isolate RNA that was reverse transcribed info cDNA followed by qRT PCR process. Gene expression was performed by the comparative delta Cycle threshold Ct method which GADPH as internal control gene.

Analysis of physiological data and environmental conditions were done by multivariate test and Pearson correlation test, whereas gene expression analized by Kruskal Wallis test. Air temperature, air humidity and the light intensity at four locations were significantly different p 0, but the wind speed did not differ significantly p 0,056, thus affecting differences in skin, rectal and body temperature, and respiratory rae. Bali cattle responded to heat stress by increasing the skin, rectal and body temperatures respiratory rate, and upregulated of Hsp90 and ATP1A1 genes. The ratio of the genes expression of Hsp90 GADPH an ATP1A1 GADPH were difference each the study sites because it 39 s climatic conditions."

"How did the zebra really get its stripes, and the giraffe its long neck? What is the science behind camel humps, leopard spots, and other animal oddities? Such questions have fascinated us for centuries, but the expanding field of evo-devo (evolutionary developmental biology) is now providing, for the first time, a wealth of insights and answers. Taking inspiration from Kipling's 'Just So Stories', this book weaves emerging insights from evo-devo into a narrative that provides startling explanations for the origin and evolution of traits across the animal kingdom. Held's unique and engaging style makes this narrative both enlightening and entertaining, guiding students and researchers through even complex concepts and encouraging a fuller understanding of the latest developments in the field. The first five chapters cover the first bilaterally symmetric animals, flies, butterflies, snakes, and cheetahs. A final chapter surveys recent results about a menagerie of other animals"--"

"This book summarises the newest information on seasonal adaptation in animals. Topics include animal hibernation, daily torpor, thermoregulation, heat production, metabolic depression, biochemical adaptations, neurophysiology and energy balance. The contributors to this book present interdisciplinary research at multiple levels ranging from the molecular to the ecophysiological, as well as evolutionary approaches. The chapters of this book provide original data not published elsewhere, which makes it the most up-to-date, comprehensive source of information on these fields. The book’s subchapters correspond to presentations given at the 14th International Hibernation Symposium in August 2012 in Austria. "
