Kajian Kemunduran Mutu Ikan Jelawat (Leptobarbus Hoevenii) Segar dengan Perendaman dalam Larutan Kitosan

This research was intended to evaluate the deterioration of fresh mad barb (Leptobarbus hoevenii) with soaking in chitosan solution. The method used in this study was the experimental method, with concentration of chitosan solution was 0%; 0.1%; 0.3% and 0.5%. The fresh mad barb (Leptobarbus hoevenii) was evaluated for organoleptic tested; including eye visually, gills, mucous, meat (color and visually), odor and texture; total plate count and total volatile base.The highest concentration of chitosan solution could increased the fish quality of fresh mad barb (Leptobarbus hoevenii). The concentration with 0,5% of chitosan solution was the best treatment; could defend the fish quality on eye parameter for 15 h with value 7.08; gills 12 h (6.72), mucous 15 h (7.00); meat 15 h (7.11); odor 21 h (7.04); texture 15 h (7.12); total plate count 12 h (4.04x105 colony/gram) and total volatile base 21 h (33.07 mg/100 gram)

Pengaruh Pendidikan Kesehatan terhadap Peningkatan Pengetahuan Orang Tua Balita Tentang Pneumonia di Wilayah Kota Padang Tahun 2018

Upper respiratory tract infections (ARI), especially pneumonia, are still the main diseases that cause infant and toddler mortality and illness. The incidence of ARI deaths (especially pneumonia) in the 12-23 month age group was 21.7%. The high incidence and mortality due to pneumonia in infants is caused by various factors, one of which is the factor of knowledge and smoking behavior of parents. The proportion of smoking behavior in Indonesia increased from 34.2% (2007) to 36.3% (2013). Research objectives: 1) To study the effect of health education on changes in smoking behavior in the incidence of childhood pneumonia. This type of research is experimental research with Quasi experimental design (quasi-experimental) with the design of One Group Pretest Postest. The experimental group in this study was given health education by providing counseling using leaflet media and brochures. The population in this study were all parents who had children aged 12-59 months at the Padang City Health Center. The number of samples is 124 people. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate. Research is conducted on parents who have toddlers under five through observation and questionnaires using accidental sampling techniques. Based on research that has been carried out until July 2018 on 124 samples, it can be concluded that there were 32 cases of pneumonia in infants. Found more than half of the 105 respondents (84.7%) had smoking behavior. Where as many as 58.9% of family members have smoking behavior in the heavy category. After being given health education there was a change that was as much as 72.6% of family members who had children under five in the city of Padang had smoking behavior in the light category. From the results of statistical tests, it was found that health education was effective in changing the smoking behavior of family members (p-value = 0.001) on the incidence of pneumonia of children under five from those who had severe smoking

THE ANALYSIS OF SUPPLY RESPONSE OF RICE UNDER RISK IN JAMBI PROVINCE

Farmers’ supply responsiveness planting rice in Jambi Province was estimated using Meta- Profit analysis function. The objective of study is to analyze rice farmers’ supply response. Research was conducted in Jambi Province in the year of 2010. Result showed that farmers’ profit planting rice increased because its price increased. Furthermore, its share decreased when its labour wage increased. This implied to farmers to plant rice because rice was relatively more profitable than other plants. The result showed that farmers tended to pushed risk in planting decision. As expected that irrigation index was also the important significant factor. Following it found that its profit planting rice increased in wet season. This results were consistent with the fact that the water availability was important factor to plant rice. The consistency of previous result, it found that profit to plant rice was the positive determination with irrigation index. This implied that government policy in agriculture had positive impact on technological adoption. The analysis production function suggested that labour and fertilizer elasticities higher than zero significantly. Production rice elasticity by considering the number of labour used was a little bit lower than fertilizer. As expected, it found that rice production elasticity by considering irrigation index was bigger than zero significantly.Crop Production/Industries,
