HASIL TANGKAPAN IKAN ARMADA PENGGUNA E-LOGBOOK YANG BEROPERASI DI PELABUHAN PERIKANAN NUSANTARA AMBON

Pelaporan data hasil tangkapan dan aktivitas armada penangkapan ikan melalui aplikasi e-loog book diwajibkan bagi setiap armada tangkap >5 GT sesuai Peraturan Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan nomor 33 Tahun 2021. Akan tetapi banyak armada diduga belum menggunakan aplikasi e-log book dalam melaporkan aktivitasnya di laut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: mendeskripsikan jenis dan jumlah armada penangkapan ikan pengguna log book maupun e log book yang mendaratkan hasil tangkapannya di PPN Ambon dan membandingkan hasil tangkapan armada pengguna log book dan e-log book di PPN Ambon. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi dan wawancara. Data diperoleh dari nahkoda, nelayan dan petugas pencatat data di PPN Ambon. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan bantuan program exel. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa dari 513  armada penangkapan ikan yang beroperasi di PPN Ambon, hanya 88 armada dengan kapasitas >5 GT yang melaporkan aktivitas penangkapan menggunakan logbook, yakni  armada pancing tonda, purse seine, pole and line dan pancing ulur, dan 32 diantaranya melaporkan aktivitas penangkapannya melalui aplikasi e-logbook. Produksi yang dihasilkan dari armada pengguna e-log book lebih tinggi dibandingkan pencatatan/pelaporan melalui log book secara manual

DAMPAK PANDEMI COVID-19 TERHADAP PENDAPATAN USAHA PERIKANAN DI KECAMATAN NUSANIWE

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1). Mendeskripsikan Karakteristik Nelayan di Kecamatan Nusaniwe; 2). Menganalisis dampak Pandemi Covid-19 terhadap produksi dan pendapatan nelayan di Kecamatan Nusaniwe. 3). Mendeskripsikan upaya yang dilakukan nelayan untuk keluar dari tekanan ekonomi akibat pandemi Covid-19. Hasil penelitian disimpulkan bahwa secara umum nelayan di Kecamatan Nusaniwe sudah berpendidikan namun didominasi yang lulus SD. Usia nelayan didominasi 31-40 tahun. Jumlah anggota keluarga nelayan terbanyak 5-6 orang/kk sebesar 47,73% untuk nelayan pukat cincin. Pandemi covid 19 sangat berdampak terhadap aktifitas usaha penangkapan dan perjualan ikan. Pendapatan para nelayan dan jibu-jibu turun hingga 50%. Kondisi ini memaksakan para nelayan harus mengurangi pengeluaran keluarga mereka. Upaya yang dilakukan nelayan untuk keluar dari tekanan pandemi Covid-19 adalah meminjam uang untuk menambah biaya operasi, mencari kerja alternatif sebagai tukang ojek dan buruh bangunan serta menjual ternak untuk yang memiliki ternak dan mengharapkan bantuan sosial dari pemerintah atau lembaga non pemerintah

Phytochemical and genetic analyses of ancient cannabis from Central Asia

The Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, Xinjiang-Uighur Autonomous Region, China have recently been excavated to reveal the 2700-year-old grave of a Caucasoid shaman whose accoutrements included a large cache of cannabis, superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions. A multidisciplinary international team demonstrated through botanical examination, phytochemical investigation, and genetic deoxyribonucleic acid analysis by polymerase chain reaction that this material contained tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of cannabis, its oxidative degradation product, cannabinol, other metabolites, and its synthetic enzyme, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, as well as a novel genetic variant with two single nucleotide polymorphisms. The cannabis was presumably employed by this culture as a medicinal or psychoactive agent, or an aid to divination. To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent, and contribute to the medical and archaeological record of this pre-Silk Road culture

Point-of-care testing and treatment of sexually transmitted and genital infections to improve birth outcomes in high-burden, low-resource settings (WANTAIM): a pragmatic cluster randomised crossover trial in Papua New Guinea.

Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, and bacterial vaginosis have been associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes, but there is conflicting evidence on the benefits of antenatal screening and treatment for these conditions. We aimed to determine the effect of antenatal point-of-care testing and immediate treatment of C trachomatis, N gonorrhoeae, T vaginalis, and bacterial vaginosis on preterm birth, low birthweight, and other adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes compared with current standard of care, which included symptom-based treatment without laboratory confirmation. In this pragmatic cluster randomised crossover trial, we enrolled women (aged ≥16 years) attending an antenatal clinic at 26 weeks' gestation or earlier (confirmed by obstetric ultrasound), living within approximately 1 h drive of a study clinic, and able to provide reliable contact details at ten primary health facilities and their catchment communities (clusters) in Papua New Guinea. Clusters were randomly allocated 1:1 to receive either the intervention or control (standard care) in the first phase of the trial. Following an interval (washout period) of 2-3 months at the end of the first phase, each cluster crossed over to the other group. Randomisation was stratified by province. Individual participants were informed about trial group allocation only after completing informed consent procedures. The primary outcome was a composite of preterm birth (livebirth before 37 weeks' gestation), low birthweight (<2500 g), or both, analysed according to the intention-to-treat population. This study is registered with ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN37134032, and is completed. Between July 26, 2017, and Aug 30, 2021, 4526 women were enrolled (2210 [63·3%] of 3492 women in the intervention group and 2316 [62·8%] of 3687 in the control group). Primary outcome data were available for 4297 (94·9%) newborn babies of 4526 women. The proportion of preterm birth, low birthweight, or both, in the intervention group, expressed as the mean of crude proportions across clusters, was 18·8% (SD 4·7%) compared with 17·8% in the control group (risk ratio [RR] 1·06, 95% CI 0·78-1·42; p=0·67). There were 1052 serious adverse events reported (566 in the intervention group and 486 in the control group) among 929 trial participants, and no differences by trial group. Point-of-care testing and treatment of C trachomatis, N gonorrhoeae, T vaginalis, and bacterial vaginosis did not reduce preterm birth or low birthweight compared with standard care. Within the subgroup of women with N gonorrhoeae, there was a substantial reduction in the primary outcome
