Efektifitas Insektisida Nabati Laseki dan Perangkap Likat dalam Pengendalian Hama Pengorok Daun, Liriomyza Chinensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae) pada Tanaman Bawang Merah Lokal Palu

Onion (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the commodities that potential especially in the city of Palu. However, in cultivation, red onions have a lot of problems especially L.chinensis pests. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using yellow sticky traps and pesticides in controlling plant LASEKI L.chinensis the crop shallot Local Palu. This study uses a randomized block design tersiri of 2 factors and repeated 4 times. The first factor is the concentration of insecticide LASEKI plant consisting of 3 levels ie: L0 = no LASEKI vegetable insecticides, L1 = 5%, L2 = 10%. The second factor is the use of traps consisting of 2 levels ie P1 = use yellow sticky traps, P2 = The use of transparent sticky traps. Based on those two factors, the obtained 6 treatment combinations with 4 times as many replications. Each treatment there were 10 clumps, so there are 240 family units experiment. The results showed that there was no interaction between treatment sticky traps (P) with botanical pesticides LASEKI the number and amount of imago L.chinensis were caught on sticky traps. Treatment with vegetable insecticide concentration LASEKI 5% (L1) and 10% (L2) is effective in suppressing the number korokan L. chinensis and also effectively increases the production of onion crop. The use of yellow sticky traps (P1) effectively reduces the number of L. chinensis who snore leeks

Conservation Laws in a First Order Dynamical System of Vortices

Gauge invariant conservation laws for the linear and angular momenta are studied in a certain 2+1 dimensional first order dynamical model of vortices in superconductivity. In analogy with fluid vortices it is possible to express the linear and angular momenta as low moments of vorticity. The conservation laws are compared with those obtained in the moduli space approximation for vortex dynamics.Comment: LaTex file, 16 page

Rethinking the Exchange Rate Disconnect Puzzle Theory in ASEAN-6

The theory of the exchange rate disconnect puzzle provides evidence of the instability of exchange rate relationship with macroeconomic fundamentals. This study will analyse the enactment of the theory of the exchange rate disconnect puzzle with the macroeconomic fundamental phenomenon in affecting the exchange rate movements in the ASEAN-6. The method of analysis Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) with panel data is used to provide an explanation for the existence of the theory of the exchange rate puzzle disconnect. Results the analysis showed the relationship between macroeconomic fundamentals through proxies of the monetary approach affect to exchange rate movements in the ASEAN-6

Mortality in Sepsis and its relationship with Gender.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sepsis remains a leading cause of death across the world, carrying a mortality rate of 20-50%. Women have been reported to be less likely to suffer from sepsis and to have a lower risk of mortality from sepsis compared to men. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between gender and mortality in sepsis, and compare cytokine profiles of male and female patients. METHODS: This was a prospective case series on 97 patients admitted with sepsis. Clinical and microbiological data was gathered, blood samples were collected for cytokine (IL-10, IL-6 and TNFα) levels and patients were followed up for clinical outcome. RESULTS: There were 54% males and 46% females, with no significant difference of age or comorbids between genders. Respiratory tract infection was the commonest source of sepsis, and was more common in females (60%) compared to males (39%) (p=0.034). Males had a higher mortality (p=0.048, RR 1.73) and plasma IL-6 level(p=0.040) compared to females. Mean IL-6 plasma level was significantly (p\u3c0.01) higher in patients who died vs. who recovered. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that males with sepsis have a 70% greater mortality rate, and mortality is associated with a higher IL-6 plasma level

How primary care can contribute to good mental health in adults.

The need for support for good mental health is enormous. General support for good mental health is needed for 100% of the population, and at all stages of life, from early childhood to end of life. Focused support is needed for the 17.6% of adults who have a mental disorder at any time, including those who also have a mental health problem amongst the 30% who report having a long-term condition of some kind. All sectors of society and all parts of the NHS need to play their part. Primary care cannot do this on its own. This paper describes how primary care practitioners can help stimulate such a grand alliance for health, by operating at four different levels - as individual practitioners, as organisations, as geographic clusters of organisations and as policy-makers

The Novel Approach based on Improving Apriori Algorithm and Frequent Pattern Algorithm for Mining Association Rule

ABSTRACT: The effectiveness of mining association rules is a significant field of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). The Apriori algorithm is a classical algorithm in mining association rules. This paper presents an improved method for Apriori and Frequent Pattern algorithms to increase the efficiency of generating association rules. This algorithm adopts a new method to decrease the redundant generation of sub-itemsets during pruning the candidate itemsets, which can form directly the set of frequent itemset and remove candidates having a subset that is not frequent in the meantime. This algorithm can raise the probability of obtaining information in scanning database and reduce the potential scale of itemsets

Superconductivity in Pseudo-Binary Silicide SrNixSi2-x with AlB2-Type Structure

We demonstrate the emergence of superconductivity in pseudo-binary silicide SrNixSi2-x. The compound exhibits a structural phase transition from the cubic SrSi2-type structure (P4132) to the hexagonal AlB2-type structure (P6/mmm) upon substituting Ni for Si at approximately x = 0.1. The hexagonal structure is stabilized in the range of 0.1 < x < 0.7. The superconducting phase appears in the vicinity of the structural phase boundary. Ni acts as a nonmagnetic dopant, as confirmed by the Pauli paramagnetic behavior.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure

Empirical Investigation on Agile Methods Usage: Issues Identified from Early Adopters in Malaysia

Agile Methods are a set of software practices that can help to produce products faster and at the same time deliver what customers want. Despite the benefits that Agile methods can deliver, however, we found few studies from the Southeast Asia region, particularly Malaysia. As a result, less empirical evidence can be obtained in the country making its implementation harder. To use a new method, experience from other practitioners is critical, which describes what is important, what is possible and what is not possible concerning Agile. We conducted a qualitative study to understand the issues faced by early adopters in Malaysia where Agile methods are still relatively new. The initial study involves 13 participants including project managers, CEOs, founders and software developers from seven organisations. Our study has shown that social and human aspects are important when using Agile methods. While technical aspects have always been considered to exist in software development, we found these factors to be less important when using Agile methods. The results obtained can serve as guidelines to practitioners in the country and the neighbouring regions

Impediments of green finance adoption system: Linking economy and environment

Environmental deregulation has become a severe concern for public health around the world. Increased pollution and ecological degradation have diverted attention towards adopting green practices, which can be possible if the sustainable green finance system is implemented in its true spirit. But previous studies reported certain factors affecting its implementation process, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to identify and quantify the barriers to adopting a green finance system. First, it identified twenty barriers through an extensive literature review and semi-structured interviews with experts in the fields of financial management, economics, and environmental sciences. Later, eighteen factors were finalized by the consensus of panel experts, which was further used to analyze their interrelationship through Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM). Using MICMAC analysis, these barriers were categorized based on their diving-dependence powers. Finally, the conceptual ISM model is developed that provides a clear picture of the impediments to the green finance adoption system and their flow relationship among the identified barriers at different levels. The findings suggest that global level factors: lack of pressure from international organizations and unavailability of globally acceptable green criteria are critical to the prevalence of other factors that indicate its centrality to effectively implementing the green finance system. The developed model helps in designing, implementing, and promoting eco-friendly projects. It is also recommended that an appropriate framework is required to be developed at global, country, organizational, and individual levels to deal with the barriers of the green finance adoption system.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
