Frekuensi Kunjungan Posyandu Dan Riwayat Kenaikan Berat Badan Sebagai Faktor Risiko Kejadian Stunting Pada Anak Usia 3 – 5 Tahun

Stunting is a chronic nutrition problem that requires precise intervention. Risk factors of stunting are need to be assessed to find the solution, such as attendance rate in integrated health post (posyandu) and weight gain. This was a case control study done in children aged 3-5 years old in Sidoarum village, Godean, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Sampling was done by simple random sampling technique with total 43 respondents in each group. Stunting is categorized based on the value of the z-score of height for age less than -2 SD. Primary data was obtained by interview, while attendance rate in integrated health post and weight gain were obtained through secondary data that is growth monitoring card (KMS) and monthly reports of integrated health post. Statistic test used for bivariate analysis was Chi-square and Multiple Logistic Regression for multivariate analysis. Result of bivariate analysis found that attendance rate in integrated health post and weight gain are related to stunting. Result showed that a low rate of attendance in integrated health post is the most dominant factor for the incidence of stunting in children aged 3-5 years (OR = 3.1, CI 95%= 1,268-7,623). This study concluded that children who are less active to come to integrated health post have 3.1 times higher risk of stunting compared to children who are actively come to integrated health pos

Relationship Between the Critical Power Test and a 20-min Functional Threshold Power Test in Cycling

To investigate the agreement between critical power (CP) and functional threshold power (FTP), 17 trained cyclists and triathletes (mean ± SD: age 31 ± 9 years, body mass 80 ± 10 kg, maximal aerobic power 350 ± 56 W, peak oxygen consumption 51 ± 10 mL⋅min–1⋅kg–1) performed a maximal incremental ramp test, a single-visit CP test and a 20-min time trial (TT) test in randomized order on three different days. CP was determined using a time-trial (TT) protocol of three durations (12, 7, and 3 min) interspersed by 30 min passive rest. FTP was calculated as 95% of 20-min mean power achieved during the TT. Differences between means were examined using magnitude-based inferences and a paired-samples t-test. Effect sizes are reported as Cohen’s d. Agreement between CP and FTP was assessed using the 95% limits of agreement (LoA) method and Pearson correlation coefficient. There was a 91.7% probability that CP (256 ± 50 W) was higher than FTP (249 ± 44 W). Indeed, CP was significantly higher compared to FTP (P = 0.041) which was associated with a trivial effect size (d = 0.04). The mean bias between CP and FTP was 7 ± 13 W and LoA were −19 to 33 W. Even though strong correlations exist between CP and FTP (r = 0.969; P < 0.001), the chance of meaningful differences in terms of performance (1% smallest worthwhile change), were greater than 90%. With relatively large ranges for LoA between variables, these values generally should not be used interchangeably. Caution should consequently be exercised when choosing between FTP and CP for the purposes of performance analysis

Analisis Manajemen Pengelolaan Pohon Gmelina arborea Roxb. pada Hutan Rakyat di Tasikmalaya dan Banjar, Jawa Barat

Forests are natural resources which if it is managed properly can provide the economic benefits to the surrounding. Woods from trees in the forest are one of the economic benefits that can be gained from the forest. However, trees must be logged under a precise calculation and controlled continuously so that they are not extinct. Logging time in a forest is generally determined by the needs of farmers, which may not necessarily provide maximum benefits. Therefore, harvesting management is needed to obtain optimal benefits while still maintaining the forest sustainability. This paper discusses a basic model of the tree harvesting using Linear Algebra which is applied to one of economically valuable trees, i.e., Gmelina arborea Roxb. on the community forest in Tasikmalaya and Banjar, West Java. Initially, the tree population is divided into 16 class intervals based on their diameter. Analysis of the harvesting model implies that the optimal results will be obtained by logging all of trees in one class with the highest selling value. By applying this scenario, all of the Gmelina arborea Roxb. on the community forest in Tasikmalaya and Banjar, West Java must be logged at the 9th class which will provide a maximum profit of IDR 12,491,843.889 for every 1,000 trees harvested

Ultraviolet and photosynthetically active radiation can both induce photoprotective capacity allowing barley to overcome high radiation stress

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of acclimation to ultraviolet (UV) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) on photoprotective mechanisms in barley leaves. Barley plants were acclimated for 7 days under three combinations of high or low UV and PAR treatments ([UV-PAR-], [UV-PAR+], [UV+PAR+]). Subsequently, plants were exposed to short-term high radiation ;stress (HRS; defined by high intensities of PAR - 1000 mu mol m(-2) s(-1), UV-A - 10 W m(-2) and UV-B 2 W m(-2) for 4 h), to test their photoprotective capacity. The barley variety sensitive to photooxidative stress (Barke) had low constitutive flavonoid content compared to the resistant variety (Bonus) under low UV and PAR intensities. The accumulation of lutonarin and 3-feruloylquinic acid, but not of saponarin, was greatly enhanced by high PAR and further increased by UV exposure. Acclimation of plants to both high UV and PAR intensities also increased the total pool of xanthophyll-cycle pigments (VAZ). Subsequent exposure to HRS revealed that prior acclimation to UV and PAR was able to ameliorate the negative consequences of HRS on photosynthesis. Both total contents of epidermal flavonols and the total pool of VAZ were closely correlated with small reductions in light-saturated CO2 assimilation rate and maximum quantum yield of photosystem II photochemistry caused by HRS. Based on these results, we conclude that growth under high PAR can substantially increase the photoprotective capacity of barley plants compared with plants grown under low PAR. However, additional UV radiation is necessary to fully induce photoprotective mechanisms in the variety Barke. This study demonstrates that UV-exposure can lead to enhanced photoprotective capacity and can contribute to the induction of tolerance to high radiation stress in barley.

Evidence of American Martens Populating the Turtle Mountains of North Dakota

American martens (Martes americana) were native to northeastern North Dakota but were considered extirpated by the early 1800s. Although there is no historic evidence of martens occurring beyond the northeast, forested habitat potentially suitable for martens exists in the Turtle Mountains region of northcentral North Dakota and southwestern Manitoba. From 1989– 1991, the Turtle Mountain Trappers Association translocated 59 martens into the Canadian portion of the Turtle Mountains. During summer 2007, we used covered track-plates and/or remotely-triggered cameras placed at 123 survey sites distributed among 41 1-km2 grid cells (a GIS-generated layer imposed on electronic maps of the study region) to determine if martens occupied the Turtle Mountains in North Dakota. Martens were detected at 26 (21%) sites, representing 20 of the 41 sample cells (49%) widely dispersed throughout the study area. Our study provided the first evidence of martens occurring in North Dakota since the early 1800s

Fine-Scale in Situ Measurement of Riverbed Nitrate Production and Consumption in an Armored Permeable Riverbed

Alteration of the global nitrogen cycle by man has increased nitrogen loading in waterways considerably, often with harmful consequences for aquatic ecosystems. Dynamic redox conditions within riverbeds support a variety of nitrogen transformations, some of which can attenuate this burden. In reality, however, assessing the importance of processes besides perhaps denitrification is difficult, due to a sparseness of data, especially in situ, where sediment structure and hydrologic pathways are intact. Here we show in situ within a permeable riverbed, through injections of 15N-labeled substrates, that nitrate can be either consumed through denitrification or produced through nitrification, at a previously unresolved fine (centimeter) scale. Nitrification and denitrification occupy different niches in the riverbed, with denitrification occurring across a broad chemical gradient while nitrification is restricted to more oxic sediments. The narrow niche width for nitrification is in effect a break point, with the switch from activity “on” to activity “off” regulated by interactions between subsurface chemistry and hydrology. Although maxima for denitrification and nitrification occur at opposing ends of a chemical gradient, high potentials for both nitrate production and consumption can overlap when groundwater upwelling is strong

Separation of river network–scale nitrogen removal among the main channel and two transient storage compartments

The definitive version was published in Water Resources Research 47 (2011): W00J10, doi:10.1029/2010WR009896.Transient storage (TS) zones are important areas of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) processing in rivers. We assessed sensitivities regarding the relative impact that the main channel (MC), surface TS (STS), and hyporheic TS (HTS) have on network denitrification using a model applied to the Ipswich River in Massachusetts, United States. STS and HTS connectivity and size were parameterized using the results of in situ solute tracer studies in first- through fifth-order reaches. DIN removal was simulated in all compartments for every river grid cell using reactivity derived from Lotic Intersite Nitrogen Experiment (LINX2) studies, hydraulic characteristics, and simulated discharge. Model results suggest that although MC-to-STS connectivity is greater than MC-to-HTS connectivity at the reach scale, at basin scales, there is a high probability of water entering the HTS at some point along its flow path through the river network. Assuming our best empirical estimates of hydraulic parameters and reactivity, the MC, HTS, and STS removed approximately 38%, 21%, and 14% of total DIN inputs during a typical base flow period, respectively. There is considerable uncertainty in many of the parameters, particularly the estimates of reaction rates in the different compartments. Using sensitivity analyses, we found that the size of TS is more important for DIN removal processes than its connectivity with the MC when reactivity is low to moderate, whereas TS connectivity is more important when reaction rates are rapid. Our work suggests a network perspective is needed to understand how connectivity, residence times, and reactivity interact to influence DIN processing in hierarchical river systems.This work was supported by the National Science Foundation through DEB- 0614282, BCS-0709685 and the Plum Island Long Term Ecological Research site (NSF OCE-0423565)
