PERILAKU RUSA TUTUL ( Axis axis ) BERDASARKAN KELOMPOK USIA DALAM KONSERVASI EX SITU MAZOLA

Keberadaan rusa tutul (Axis axis) di alam sangat penting sebagai salah satu komponen ekosistem terutama dalam siklus rantai makanan. Namun pemanfaatan rusa tutul yang berlebihan oleh manusia menjadikan populasi rusa tutul di alam menjadi menurun. Sehingga diperlukan konservasi  secara ex-situ pada penangkaran. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perilaku harian Rusa tutul (Axis axis) di kawasan konservasi Maharani Zoo & Goa Lamongan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian dalam ini yaitu dengan dengan menggunakan metode time sampling yang terdiri dari lima periode waktu yaitu pada pukul 06.00-08.00 WIB; 08.00-10.30 WIB; 11.00-13.00 WIB; 13.30-15-30 WIB; 16.00-18.00 WIB  dengan satu kali pengamatan selama 15 menit dari masing-masing jenis kelamin dan umur yang memiliki karakterberbeda. Pengamatan terhadap perilaku rusa tutul tersebut didasari pada tujuan observasi jangka waktu yang telah ditentukan yang ditandai dengan adanya suatu perilaku, frekuensi, maupun durasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perilaku harian rusa tutul dikelompokkan dalam lima aktivitas utama yaitu istirahat, berpindah, makan minum, dan aktivitas sosial

The impact of prenatal counselling on mothers of surviving children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome: A qualitative interview study

Objective: To explore the role of antenatal counselling in how parents make treatment decisions following an antenatal diagnosis of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). / Background: Antenatal counselling is a critical part of patient management following a diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease; however, there is a very limited evidence base examining how parents actually experience antenatal counselling and make decisions in this context./ Methods: Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with women who had received an antenatal diagnosis of HLHS. Interviews were digitally recorded, anonymised and transcribed verbatim. A thematic content analysis was performed using a constant comparative approach. / Results: Eight mothers of surviving children with HLHS were interviewed. Eight key themes emerged including new perspectives on how women receive antenatal counselling and how it affects their decision making. Three themes in particular are new to the literature: (a) Mothers of children with HLHS reported feelings of intense guilt that arose in the antenatal period around potentially causing the condition in their child. (b) For this group of women, recollections of perceived pessimism during antenatal counselling had a lasting impact. (c) Despite support from partners or extended family, women nevertheless experienced a strong sense that antenatal decision making was largely a ‘maternal’ responsibility. / Conclusions: When recounting their experiences of antenatal counselling, mothers of surviving children with HLHS offer new perspectives that can guide fetal cardiologists in how best to support their individual patients. Further research is needed to comprehensively understand the experience of prospective parents counselled for severe forms of fetal congenital heart disease

Plans for laser spectroscopy of trapped cold hydrogen-like HCI

Laser spectroscopy studies are being prepared to measure the 1s ground state hyperfine splitting in trapped cold highly charged ions. The purpose of such experiments is to test quantum electrodynamics in the strong electric field regime. These experiments form part of the HITRAP project at GSI. A brief review of the planned experiments is presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication (NIMB

Population and labour force projections for 27 European countries, 2002-052: impact of international migration on population ageing: Projections de population et de population active pour 27 pays européens 2002-052: impact de la migration internationale sur le vieillissement de la population

Population and labour force projections are made for 27 selected European countries for 2002-052, focussing on the impact of international migration on population and labour force dynamics. Starting from single scenarios for fertility, mortality and economic activity, three sets of assumptions are explored regarding migration flows, taking into account probable policy developments in Europe following the enlargement of the EU. In addition to age structures, various support ratio indicators are analysed. The results indicate that plausible immigration cannot offset the negative effects of population and labour force ageing

Analyzing networks developed from movements of six sea turtle species reveals marine connectivity and can help prioritize conservation efforts. Location Global. Methods We collated telemetry data from 1235 individuals and reviewed the literature to determine our dataset's representativeness. We used the telemetry data to develop spatial networks at different scales to examine areas, connections, and their geographic arrangement. We used graph theory metrics to compare networks across regions and species and to identify the role of important areas and connections. Results Relevant literature and citations for data used in this study had very little overlap. Network analysis showed that sampling effort influenced network structure, and the arrangement of areas and connections for most networks was complex. However, important areas and connections identified by graph theory metrics can be different than areas of high data density. For the global network, marine regions in the Mediterranean had high closeness, while links with high betweenness among marine regions in the South Atlantic were critical for maintaining connectivity. Comparisons among species-specific networks showed that functional connectivity was related to movement ecology, resulting in networks composed of different areas and links. Main conclusions Network analysis identified the structure and functional connectivity of the sea turtles in our sample at multiple scales. These network characteristics could help guide the coordination of management strategies for wide-ranging animals throughout their geographic extent. Most networks had complex structures that can contribute to greater robustness but may be more difficult to manage changes when compared to simpler forms. Area-based conservation measures would benefit sea turtle populations when directed toward areas with high closeness dominating network function. Promoting seascape connectivity of links with high betweenness would decrease network vulnerability.International Climate Initiative (IKI)German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU
