HUBUNGAN PEMBERIAN BANTUAN SOSIAL DAN PEMBERIAN ASI EKSKLUSIF TERHADAP STATUS GIZI BALITA

Gizi baik merupakan fondasi bagi pembangunan sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas dan penanda keberhasilan pembangunan serta terpenuhinya hak azasi manusia terhadap pangan dan kesehatan. Berdasarkan hasil survey pendahuluan pada balita di Desa Karampi Kecamatan Langgudu Kabupaten Bima bahwa masih terdapat 3,36%  balita mengalami gizi kurang. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pemberian bantuan sosial dan pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI) Eksklusif terhadap status gizi balita. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik.  Populasi penelitian meliputi ibu dan balita di desa Karampi, Kecamatan Langgudu, Kabupaten Bima, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Sample dalam penelitian menggunakan 52 responden yang terdiri atas ibu dan balita. Analisis data menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan menggunakan uji chi-square untuk melihat hubungan antara bantuan sosial dan pemberian ASI ekslusif terhadap status gizi balita. Hasil analisis univariat pemberian bantuan sosial sebesar 57.7% dan tidak menerima bantuan sosial sebesar 42.3%. Sedangkan yang memberian ASI Eksklusif sebesar 90.4% dan tidak memberikan ASI Ekslusif sebesar 9.6%. Hasil analisis bivariat antara hubungan penerimaan bantuan dengan status gizi balita menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 15.4% balita dengan gizi buruk dan 84.6% balita dengan gizi baik. Namun, tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikansi 0.708 (P-value ? 0.05) antara bantuan sosial dengan status gizi anak. Sedangkan hubungan antara pemberian asi eksklusif dengan status gizi berpengaruh secara signifikan dimana p-value (0.000?0.05)

Investigating Gaze of Children with ASD in Naturalistic Settings.

BACKGROUND: Visual behavior is known to be atypical in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Monitor-based eye-tracking studies have measured several of these atypicalities in individuals with Autism. While atypical behaviors are known to be accentuated during natural interactions, few studies have been made on gaze behavior in natural interactions. In this study we focused on i) whether the findings done in laboratory settings are also visible in a naturalistic interaction; ii) whether new atypical elements appear when studying visual behavior across the whole field of view. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Ten children with ASD and ten typically developing children participated in a dyadic interaction with an experimenter administering items from the Early Social Communication Scale (ESCS). The children wore a novel head-mounted eye-tracker, measuring gaze direction and presence of faces across the child's field of view. The analysis of gaze episodes to faces revealed that children with ASD looked significantly less and for shorter lapses of time at the experimenter. The analysis of gaze patterns across the child's field of view revealed that children with ASD looked downwards and made more extensive use of their lateral field of view when exploring the environment. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: The data gathered in naturalistic settings confirm findings previously obtained only in monitor-based studies. Moreover, the study allowed to observe a generalized strategy of lateral gaze in children with ASD when they were looking at the objects in their environment

Complete Genomes of Symbiotic Cyanobacteria Clarify the Evolution of Vanadium-Nitrogenase.

Plant endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria has independently evolved in diverse plant lineages, offering a unique window to study the evolution and genetics of plant-microbe interaction. However, very few complete genomes exist for plant cyanobionts, and therefore little is known about their genomic and functional diversity. Here, we present four complete genomes of cyanobacteria isolated from bryophytes. Nanopore long-read sequencing allowed us to obtain circular contigs for all the main chromosomes and most of the plasmids. We found that despite having a low 16S rRNA sequence divergence, the four isolates exhibit considerable genome reorganizations and variation in gene content. Furthermore, three of the four isolates possess genes encoding vanadium (V)-nitrogenase (vnf), which is uncommon among diazotrophs and has not been previously reported in plant cyanobionts. In two cases, the vnf genes were found on plasmids, implying possible plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfers. Comparative genomic analysis of vnf-containing cyanobacteria further identified a conserved gene cluster. Many genes in this cluster have not been functionally characterized and would be promising candidates for future studies to elucidate V-nitrogenase function and regulation

Positive Least Energy Solutions and Phase Separation for Coupled Schrodinger Equations with Critical Exponent: Higher Dimensional Case

We study the following nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger system which is related to Bose-Einstein condensate: {displaymath} {cases}-\Delta u +\la_1 u = \mu_1 u^{2^\ast-1}+\beta u^{\frac{2^\ast}{2}-1}v^{\frac{2^\ast}{2}}, \quad x\in \Omega, -\Delta v +\la_2 v =\mu_2 v^{2^\ast-1}+\beta v^{\frac{2^\ast}{2}-1} u^{\frac{2^\ast}{2}}, \quad x\in \om, u\ge 0, v\ge 0 \,\,\hbox{in \om},\quad u=v=0 \,\,\hbox{on \partial\om}.{cases}{displaymath} Here \om\subset \R^N is a smooth bounded domain, $2^\ast:=\frac{2N}{N-2}$ is the Sobolev critical exponent, -\la_1(\om)0 and $\beta\neq 0$, where \lambda_1(\om) is the first eigenvalue of $-\Delta$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition. When \bb=0, this is just the well-known Brezis-Nirenberg problem. The special case N=4 was studied by the authors in (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 205: 515-551, 2012). In this paper we consider {\it the higher dimensional case $N\ge 5$}. It is interesting that we can prove the existence of a positive least energy solution (u_\bb, v_\bb) {\it for any $\beta\neq 0$} (which can not hold in the special case N=4). We also study the limit behavior of (u_\bb, v_\bb) as $\beta\to -\infty$ and phase separation is expected. In particular, u_\bb-v_\bb will converge to {\it sign-changing solutions} of the Brezis-Nirenberg problem, provided $N\ge 6$. In case \la_1=\la_2, the classification of the least energy solutions is also studied. It turns out that some quite different phenomena appear comparing to the special case N=4.Comment: 48 pages.
