Estetika Tari Illau Simagek Aurduri Kecamatan X Koto Singkarak Kabupaten Solok

Tulisan ini membahas tentang Estetika Tari Illau Simagek Aurduri Kecamatan X Koto Singkarak Kabupaten Solok. Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode kualitatif bersifat deskriptif analisis yang memaparkan keadaan di lapangan mengenai tari Illau. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tari di Minangkabau mengandung makna yang dalam serta nilai estetika tersendiri di tengah masyarakat pendukungnya, sebagaimana yang tampak pada tari Illau di Nagari Simagek Kecamatan X Koto Singkarak Kabupaten Solok. Tari Illau yang merupakan tari tradisi masyarakat Simagek berfungsi sebagai tari yang digunakan dalam Batagak Gala bagi seorang penganten laki-laki. Hal ini membuat tari Illau Simagek memiliki perbedaan dengan tari Illau lainnya di Minangkabau, karena tari yang pada awalnya ditarikan untuk hiburan raja ini dipergunakan untuk batagak gala bagi sepasang pengantin, sementara tari Illau lainnya berhubungan dengan kematian

Pengaruh Sipermetrin Pada Jambal Rotiterhadap Kadaru Reum Dan Kreatinin Tikus Wistar (Rattus Norvegicus)

Sipermetrin pada dasarnya digunakan untuk mengendalikan hama, penyakit dan gulma pengganggu pada kegiatan pertanian. Tetapi oleh pengolah Jambal Roti digunakan untuk mencegah pembusukan sehingga daya simpan produk lebih lama dan kerugian bisa dikurangi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh sipermetrin terhadap kadar ureum dan kreatininTikus Wistar (Rattus norvegicus). Tikus diberi perlakuan paparan sipermetrin dengan dosis 0.00 mg/kg (K-), 0.05 mg/kg, 0.60 mg/kg, 1.10 mg/kg, 1.60 mg/kg, 2.15 mg/kg dan daging ikan yang mengandung sipermetrin 1.73 mg/kg (kontrol positif : K+). Kadar ureum dan kreatinin darah tikus ditetapkan berdasarkan metode Enzymatic Photometric. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sipermetrin berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan kadar ureum dan kreatinin Tikus Wistar. Kadar ureum sudah melewati normal pada hari ke-7 pemeliharaan untuk perlakuan sipermetrin dosis 2.15 mg/kg. Rata-rata kadar kreatinin pada hari ke-14 semua perlakuan sudah melewati batas kadar normal, kecuali pada perlakuan K- dan 0.05 mg/kg. Kadar ureum dan kreatinin tertinggi yaitu 27.7±0.98 mg/dL dan 1.03±0.018 mg/dL diperoleh pada perlakuan sipermetrin dosis 2,15 mg/kg

Chaetoceros Ceratosporum Diatomae in Feed Formula to Increase Growth and Post Larvae Immunity of Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus Monodon Fab.) to Vibrio Harveyi Infection

This experiment aims to determine the effect and the best dose of Chaetoceros ceratosporum diatomae utilization in feed formula for post larvae of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon Fab.) growth and immunity to Vibrio harveyi infection. This research applied Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment use Chaetoceros ceratosporum diatomae in feed formula (iso protein 39.02% and iso energy 3.58 kcal/g diet) in different doses, i.e. treatment A = 0 %; B = 3.04 %; C = 6.0 8%; D = 9.12 %. Observed parameters were Survival Rate, Growth Rate, Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER). Result showed that Chaetoceros ceratosporum diatomae utilization in feed formula affect the increase of growth and immunity of post larvae of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon Fab.) to Vibrio harveyi infection. The best dose in feed formula ranged from 5,75% – 5,95%

Analysis of Runoff Coefficient Value on Retention Ponds in Flores Island

Flores Island is one of four big islands in NTT province with an area ±13,540 km divided into 8 districts. The area is included in areas with unequal distribution of rainfall. Therefore, the amount of water availability during the dry season is relatively low then require to attempts of rainwater harvesting. One of the alternatives is by building a retention pond. The important parameter in the calculation of water availability is the value of runoff coefficient. The purpose of this research is to invent the runoff coefficient value of 30 retention ponds in 8 districts of Flores Island. In this study use rainfall data, climatology and technical of retention basin for the analysis of run off coefficient. The analysis method uses the Penman modification for evapotranspiration calculation and method F.J. Mock for discharge calculation. The result in graphical model uses monthly rainfall data and land slope data. Based on the analytical calculation method, the value of run off coefficient for each district in Flores was ranging 0.00 - 0.72. The minimum value of runoff coefficient happened in November was ranging from 0.00 - 0.39, and the maximum value of runoff coefficient happened in January was ranging from 0.48 - 0.72

The role of vitamin D in pulmonary disease: COPD, asthma, infection, and cancer

The role of vitamin D (VitD) in calcium and bone homeostasis is well described. In the last years, it has been recognized that in addition to this classical function, VitD modulates a variety of processes and regulatory systems including host defense, inflammation, immunity, and repair. VitD deficiency appears to be frequent in industrialized countries. Especially patients with lung diseases have often low VitD serum levels. Epidemiological data indicate that low levels of serum VitD is associated with impaired pulmonary function, increased incidence of inflammatory, infectious or neoplastic diseases. Several lung diseases, all inflammatory in nature, may be related to activities of VitD including asthma, COPD and cancer. The exact mechanisms underlying these data are unknown, however, VitD appears to impact on the function of inflammatory and structural cells, including dendritic cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, and epithelial cells. This review summarizes the knowledge on the classical and newly discovered functions of VitD, the molecular and cellular mechanism of action and the available data on the relationship between lung disease and VitD status

Vitamin D Deficiency and Its Health Consequences in Africa

Africa is heterogeneous in latitude, geography, climate, food availability, religious and cultural practices, and skin pigmentation. It is expected, therefore, that prevalence of vitamin D deficiency varies widely, in line with influences on skin exposure to UVB sunshine. Furthermore, low calcium intakes and heavy burden of infectious disease common in many countries may increase vitamin D utilization and turnover. Studies of plasma 25OHD concentration indicate a spectrum from clinical deficiency to values at the high end of the physiological range; however, data are limited. Representative studies of status in different countries, using comparable analytical techniques, and of relationships between vitamin D status and risk of infectious and chronic diseases relevant to the African context are needed. Public health measures to secure vitamin D adequacy cannot encompass the whole continent and need to be developed locally
