    Perairan Rembang merupakan perairan yang terletak di Pantai Utara Jawa, dan merupakan bagian dari Propinsi Jawa Tengah, dengan sektor andalannya adalah perikanan. Penggunaan jaring arad di Rembang telah dilarang, tetapi di beberapa wilayah desa masih digunakan oleh sebagian nelayan untuk menangkap cumi–cumi (Loligo sp) pada musimnya, oleh karena itu modifikasi perlu dilakukan supaya lebih ramah lingkungan. Modifikasi arad dilakukan dengan merubah mesh size serta mencoba mencari kecepatan hela yang lebih baik. Modifikasi arad bertujuan supaya dapat meloloskan hasil tangkapan yang belum layak tangkap. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis komposisi hasil tangkapan cumi-cumi (Loligo sp) pada jaring arad. Metode yang digunakan adalah experimental fishing. Pengujian statistik dilakukan menggunakan Uji f one-way anova dengan taraf koreksi sebesar 5%. Hasil uji statistik jaring Arad (Genuine Small Bottom Trawl) didapatkan nilai signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05 sehingga H0 ditolak. Hasil uji statistik jaring Arad Modifikasi (Modified Small Bottom Trawl) didapatkan nilai signifikansi 0,001 < 0,005 sehingga H0 ditolak. Kesimpulan hasil pengujian “terdapat perbedaan nyata antara perbedaan kecepatan hela terhadap hasil tangkapan Cumi-cumi (Loligo sp) di perairan Rembang”. Uji lanjutan dilakukan menggunakan Uji post-hoc menggunakan Tukey HSD. Hasil uji post-hoc jaring Arad (Genuine Small Bottom Trawl) didapatkan nilai signifikansi terkecil 0,000 yang dihasilkan oleh kecepatan 4 knot. Hasil uji post-hoc jaring Arad Modifikasi (Modified Small Bottom Trawl) didapatkan nilai signifikansi terkecil 0,002 < 0,05 yang dihasilkan oleh kecepatan 4 knot, sehingga dapat diambil kesimpulan “kecepatan terbaik untuk mendapatkan Cumi-cumi (Loligo sp) terbanyak dengan kecepatan 4 knot”. Rembang waters are waters located on north coast of Java, and also part of Central Java Province, the fisheries sector is the mainstay. Squid (Loligo sp) is one of the important comodity of high economic value. Arad in Rembang use of nets have been banned, but in some rural area still used by some fisherman to catch squid (Loligo sp) on the season, therefore, modifications needs to be done to make it more enviromentally friendly. Arad modification done by changing the mesh size as well as trying to find a good speed dragger. The purpose of this research can to escape not worth catching of target catch. The method used was experimental fishing. Statistic testing was performed using the f test one-way anova with correction level of 5%.

    A modelling exercise was conducted to assess the cost effectiveness of home assessment and modification to reduce falls in the elderly. The model was designed to simulate the costs and consequences of a fall to the elderly over a one year period. The model was developed using the results of published studies related to falls and injuries in the elderly. The intervention was assumed to reduce the fall incidence in the intervention group. The cost effectiveness of the proposed intervention was measured in terms of incremental cost per fall prevented and injury prevented. The model predicted that the home assessment and modification to reduce fall in the elderly would incur an incremental cost $17,210 for a fall-injury prevented

    Support and Assessment for Fall Emergency Referrals (SAFER 1) trial protocol. Computerised on-scene decision support for emergency ambulance staff to assess and plan care for older people who have fallen: evaluation of costs and benefits using a pragmatic cluster randomised trial

    Background: Many emergency ambulance calls are for older people who have fallen. As half of them are left at home, a community-based response may often be more appropriate than hospital attendance. The SAFER 1 trial will assess the costs and benefits of a new healthcare technology - hand-held computers with computerised clinical decision support (CCDS) software - to help paramedics decide who needs hospital attendance, and who can be safely left at home with referral to community falls services. Methods/Design: Pragmatic cluster randomised trial with a qualitative component. We shall allocate 72 paramedics ('clusters') at random between receiving the intervention and a control group delivering care as usual, of whom we expect 60 to complete the trial. Patients are eligible if they are aged 65 or older, live in the study area but not in residential care, and are attended by a study paramedic following an emergency call for a fall. Seven to 10 days after the index fall we shall offer patients the opportunity to opt out of further follow up. Continuing participants will receive questionnaires after one and 6 months, and we shall monitor their routine clinical data for 6 months. We shall interview 20 of these patients in depth. We shall conduct focus groups or semi-structured interviews with paramedics and other stakeholders. The primary outcome is the interval to the first subsequent reported fall (or death). We shall analyse this and other measures of outcome, process and cost by 'intention to treat'. We shall analyse qualitative data thematically. Discussion: Since the SAFER 1 trial received funding in August 2006, implementation has come to terms with ambulance service reorganisation and a new national electronic patient record in England. In response to these hurdles the research team has adapted the research design, including aspects of the intervention, to meet the needs of the ambulance services. In conclusion this complex emergency care trial will provide rigorous evidence on the clinical and cost effectiveness of CCDS for paramedics in the care of older people who have fallen

    Developing a new response to non-urgent emergency calls : evaluation of a nurse and paramedic partnership intervention

    Original article can be found at: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/login Copyright Cambridge University Press DOI: 10.1017/S1463423608000765Aim To evaluate a new service development whereby a nurse and a paramedic working in partnership attended non-urgent emergency calls. Background The demand for emergency ambulance services both nationally (in the UK) and internationally has been steadily increasing. A large proportion of calls made to the emergency ambulance service are classified as non-urgent. An alternative response to these calls may release the standard ambulance service to attend more urgent calls. A pilot project was initiated in order to provide an alternative response to non-urgent emergency calls in an Ambulance Trust in England with support from the local Primary Care Trust. This alternative response comprised a district nurse or an emergency nurse practitioner dispatched with a paramedic to visit low-priority emergency calls. The pilot service was trialled during a 15-week period in 2003–2004. Methods This paper evaluates the cost effectiveness of the pilot service by examining both the resource use and the outcomes of the service. Findings It was found that introducing this service to the current provision would increase the overall cost to the ambulance services. However, a reduction in conveyance rate to the hospital was observed as people could be treated on-scene. A reduction in conveyance rate to the hospital would lead to reduced admissions to accident and emergency departments and subsequent hospitalization. This paper provides an indication that further development of this type of service has the potential to be cost effective, if the wider health care economy is considered, as the cost savings made in secondary care could more than balance the costs to the Ambulance Services in providing such a servicePeer reviewe

    Giving added-value on locally-based agricultural products such as mung bean, fenugreek seed and moringa leaf is considered as an effective way to support the sustainability of agriculture and environment. In this study, powdered mung bean, fenugreek seed and moringa leaf were added into chocolate bar formula. The purpose of this study was specifically to determine the effect of powdered mung bean, fenugreek seed and moringa leaf addition on the consumer acceptance of chocolate bar. The ingredients were added at concentration of 5, 10 and 15. A 7-point scale scoring method was used to perform a hedonic test with 60 panellists for colour, taste, texture, aroma and overall attributes. One-way ANOVA followed by DMRT was carried out to analyse the result statistically. The results show that the addition of mung bean, fenugreek seed and moringa leaf significantly decrease the panelists� acceptance on the chocolate bar at all parameters. As such, the chocolate control obtained an overall score of 6.2 while the chocolate formulated with mung bean, fenugreek seed and moringa leaf got a score range of 3.8�4.7, 2.1�2.9 and 4.5�4.8, respectively. The similar trends were also found at aroma and taste attributes. The decrease of panelists� acceptance depended on the type of the additional ingredient. The results obtained in this study show the importance of ingredient selection in the making of functional chocolate. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved
