Pengaruh Beberapa Dosis Bacillus Thuringiensis Var Israelensis Serotype H14 Terhadap Larva Aedes Aegypti Di Kalimantan Barat

One of the dengue control efforts is the use of Bacillus thuringiensis in order to reduce the dengue vector of Aedes aegypti through its larvas. This was an experimental research using gram-positive bacteria B. thuringiensis var Israelensis (Bactivec) serotype H-14 which was applied with several concentrations (0.02 ml, 0.01 ml and 0.007 ml) in 246 ml of water that has been filled with 25 larvas of the 3rd or 4th instars. Larvas were taken from the area of ​​West Kalimantan. Data were analyzed using a completely randomized design to examine the percentage of larval mortality within 3 hours, 9 hours and over 12 hours. The results showed that the concentration of 0,02 bactivec caused 89% larval mortality, and concentrations of 0,01 and 0,007 caused 88% and 87% larval mortality, respectively within the 9 hours exposure time. It can be concluded that the use of 0,07 ml of bactivec is still effective to control Aedes aegypti larvae. To determine the negative of the use of bactivec, further studies are needed

Penilaian Kualitas Pelaporan Kejadian Kematian Melalui Metode Dual Sistem Di Kabupaten Gorontalo Tahun 2007 & 2008

Valid and reliable information on causes of deaths in the community is important to provide basic data and information for health policy formulation and program development, set health priorities, evaluate program effectiveness and for research. In order to evaluate the completeness of vital registration, the mortality registration system data would be assessed through a dual record system. These death data were then would be directly matched with death data derived from medical certificate cause of death from mortality registration system to analyze the mortality registration completeness. The objective of Dual System which consists of registration system and population enumeration method were used to examine and monitor the coverage of the cause of death registration system in the project areas and to provide correction factor to construct a life table and mortality parameter. This survey was carried out by independent institution, Politeknik Kesehalan, (Health Polytechnique) Government Organization in the Gorontalo District. This survey collected death data in the randomly selected sub-district or village. A sample of households was asked whether a member has died in the previous two years 2007-2008, January 1st 2007 to December 31st 2008. The total number of household sample was about 10.000 for the study area. Data collection of the survey for death event in the community carried out by Health Politechnique of Gorontalo District in the 18 subdistricts. The number of sample that interviewed was 9,225 households and 35,184 population. The number of deaths in the period of two years starting from January 1st 2007 to December 31st 2008 in the dual system was 461 cases (include still birth 22 cases). This study found that the the registration completeness was 68.5%, this figure come from: 415/605 x 100% or 316/461 x 100%. From this result, there was 31.5% of death event has not been covered in Sentinel Gorontalo District in 2007 and 2008. This study also found that Crude Death Rate (CDR) was 6,1 per mil after correted from 9,0 per mil, it was closed to estimated national crude death rate 7 per 1000

Scientific Goals and Objectives for the Human Exploration of Mars: 1. Biology and Atmosphere/Climate

To prepare for the exploration of Mars by humans, as outlined in the new national vision for Space Exploration (VSE), the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG), chartered by NASA's Mars Exploration Program (MEP), formed a Human Exploration of Mars Science Analysis Group (HEM-SAG), in March 2007. HEM-SAG was chartered to develop the scientific goals and objectives for the human exploration of Mars based on the Mars Scientific Goals, Objectives, Investigations, and Priorities.1 The HEM-SAG is one of several humans to Mars scientific, engineering and mission architecture studies chartered in 2007 to support NASA s plans for the human exploration of Mars. The HEM-SAG is composed of about 30 Mars scientists representing the disciplines of Mars biology, climate/atmosphere, geology and geophysics from the U.S., Canada, England, France, Italy and Spain. MEPAG selected Drs. James B. Garvin (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) and Joel S. Levine (NASA Langley Research Center) to serve as HEMSAG co-chairs. The HEM-SAG team conducted 20 telecons and convened three face-to-face meetings from March through October 2007. The management of MEP and MEPAG were briefed on the HEM-SAG interim findings in May. The HEM-SAG final report was presented on-line to the full MEPAG membership and was presented at the MEPAG meeting on February 20-21, 2008. This presentation will outline the HEM-SAG biology and climate/atmosphere goals and objectives. A companion paper will outline the HEM-SAG geology and geophysics goals and objectives

Genome modeling system: A knowledge management platform for genomics

In this work, we present the Genome Modeling System (GMS), an analysis information management system capable of executing automated genome analysis pipelines at a massive scale. The GMS framework provides detailed tracking of samples and data coupled with reliable and repeatable analysis pipelines. The GMS also serves as a platform for bioinformatics development, allowing a large team to collaborate on data analysis, or an individual researcher to leverage the work of others effectively within its data management system. Rather than separating ad-hoc analysis from rigorous, reproducible pipelines, the GMS promotes systematic integration between the two. As a demonstration of the GMS, we performed an integrated analysis of whole genome, exome and transcriptome sequencing data from a breast cancer cell line (HCC1395) and matched lymphoblastoid line (HCC1395BL). These data are available for users to test the software, complete tutorials and develop novel GMS pipeline configurations. The GMS is available at https://github.com/genome/gms

Metodologias utilizadas para detectar distúrbios emocionais em clínicas de assistência primária à saúde: revisão de literatura

A series of studies in the field of Epidemiological Psychiatry have been performed over the last two decades, and these have focused on the ability of primary care physicians to detect emotional disorders in the patients that attend their practices. The scientific methodology utilized in these studies is the subject of this review, which contains a discussion concerning: a) interviewer awareness bias; b) accuracy of the instruments and c) medical and psychological concepts involved in defining minor emotional disorders. Suggestions for change in the methodology are made in each of the sections of the review.Na área de epidemiologia psiquiátrica vêm sendo realizados, nos últimos vinte anos, estudos que têm como finalidade medir a habilidade que clínicos gerais possuem em detectar distúrbios emocionais nos pacientes que procuram atendimento na rede básica de saúde. A metodologia utilizada nesses estudos é o tema central da atual revisão, que contém a) viés do entrevistador; b) acuidade dos instrumentos; e c) conceitos médicos e psicológicos envolvidos na definição de distúrbio psiquiátrico menor. São também apresentadas sugestões para mudanças de metodologia
