PENINGKATAN PENDAPATAN PETANI PADI RAWA PASANG SURUT MELALUI PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI RAISA DI SUMATERA SELATAN

Tidal swamp land has great potential and opportunities to be used as food production areas, especially rice. The IAARD has produced many technologies and varieties that are adaptive in the growing environment of tidal swamps, but their use and distribution have not been widely known and applied by farmers. The research to increase the income of tidal swamp rice farmers is intended to analyze the tidal swamp rice technology that is being developed. Research in Sukamulya Village, sub district Tungkal Ilir, District of Banyuasin, South Sumatera. The research on 2018 dry season, activities began with a pre-survey which was also used to conduct needs and opportunity studies on farmer groups who would apply tidal swamp rice cultivation technology to tidal swamp rice activities using the RAISA technology approach. Data collection is done using with and without method by means of farm record keeping. Farming analysis is used to analyze collected data. Pre-survey results, based on ranking and priority, there are 5 problems that must be immediately implemented and addressed, namely substandard irrigation, rat control, weed control, drought in the constitutional court, and fertilizer dosage. Based on the agreement, the 5 problems will be overcome by mutual cooperation on the cleaning of tertiary channels, integrated rate control, integrated weed control, planting on time, the use of water pumps, rice variety tolerant to drought, and applying fertilizer doses based on kid fertilizer. The average grain yield of farmers cooperator in tidal swamp rice farms of 5,420 kg/ha is 18.86% higher than that of non-cooperator farmers who average 4,560 kg/ha and the level of profit from tidal swamp farming in farmers cooperator is more feasible when compared to non-cooperator farmers

Diabetes Alters Intracellular Calcium Transients in Cardiac Endothelial Cells

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a diabetic complication, which results in myocardial dysfunction independent of other etiological factors. Abnormal intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) homeostasis has been implicated in DCM and may precede clinical manifestation. Studies in cardiomyocytes have shown that diabetes results in impaired [Ca2+]i homeostasis due to altered sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) and sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX) activity. Importantly, altered calcium homeostasis may also be involved in diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction, including impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation and a diminished capacity to generate nitric oxide (NO), elevated cell adhesion molecules, and decreased angiogenic growth factors. However, the effect of diabetes on Ca2+ regulatory mechanisms in cardiac endothelial cells (CECs) remains unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of diabetes on [Ca2+]i homeostasis in CECs in the rat model (streptozotocin-induced) of DCM. DCM-associated cardiac fibrosis was confirmed using picrosirius red staining of the myocardium. CECs isolated from the myocardium of diabetic and wild-type rats were loaded with Fura-2, and UTP-evoked [Ca2+]i transients were compared under various combinations of SERCA, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) and NCX inhibitors. Diabetes resulted in significant alterations in SERCA and NCX activities in CECs during [Ca2+]i sequestration and efflux, respectively, while no difference in PMCA activity between diabetic and wild-type cells was observed. These results improve our understanding of how diabetes affects calcium regulation in CECs, and may contribute to the development of new therapies for DCM treatment

May Measurement Month 2018: a pragmatic global screening campaign to raise awareness of blood pressure by the International Society of Hypertension

Aims Raised blood pressure (BP) is the biggest contributor to mortality and disease burden worldwide and fewer than half of those with hypertension are aware of it. May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global campaign set up in 2017, to raise awareness of high BP and as a pragmatic solution to a lack of formal screening worldwide. The 2018 campaign was expanded, aiming to include more participants and countries. Methods and results Eighty-nine countries participated in MMM 2018. Volunteers (≥18 years) were recruited through opportunistic sampling at a variety of screening sites. Each participant had three BP measurements and completed a questionnaire on demographic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Hypertension was defined as a systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg, or taking antihypertensive medication. In total, 74.9% of screenees provided three BP readings. Multiple imputation using chained equations was used to impute missing readings. 1 504 963 individuals (mean age 45.3 years; 52.4% female) were screened. After multiple imputation, 502 079 (33.4%) individuals had hypertension, of whom 59.5% were aware of their diagnosis and 55.3% were taking antihypertensive medication. Of those on medication, 60.0% were controlled and of all hypertensives, 33.2% were controlled. We detected 224 285 individuals with untreated hypertension and 111 214 individuals with inadequately treated (systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg) hypertension. Conclusion May Measurement Month expanded significantly compared with 2017, including more participants in more countries. The campaign identified over 335 000 adults with untreated or inadequately treated hypertension. In the absence of systematic screening programmes, MMM was effective at raising awareness at least among these individuals at risk

Pengaruh Konsentrasi Air Perasan Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih Serta Waktu Perendaman terhadap Perkecambahan Benih Sambiloto (Andrographis Paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees)

Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees.) merupakan salah satu tanaman obat yang dapat diperbanyak secara generatif menggunakan benih. Benih sambiloto termasuk golongan benih ortodoks yang mengalami masa dormansi. Dalam proses perkecambahan benih diperlukan hormon pertumbuhan atau sering juga disebut sebagai Zat Pengatur Tumbuh. Bawang merah dan bawang putih merupakan salah satu sumber ZPT alami yang dapat digunakan dalam proses perkecambahan. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui pengaruh perendaman air perasan bawang merah dan bawang putih terhadap perkecambahan benih sambiloto serta mengetahui dosis dan waktu perendaman yang paling efektif meningkatkan perkecambahan benih sambiloto. Pada penelitian ini digunakan benih sambiloto yang telah mengalami masa penyimpanan selama 6 bulan. Konsentrasi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu 10%, 20% dan 40% dengan waktu perendaman 1 jam, 2 jam dan 4 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan jenis bawang mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap jumlah benih berkecambah di petridish, jumlah daun, lebar daun dan tinggi kecambah. Sedangkan perlakuan konsentrasi dan lama waktu perendaman memberikan pengaruh yang tidak signifikan terhadap jumlah kecambah, jumlah daun, panjang daun dan tinggi kecambah. Kombinasi antar perlakuan tidak menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan sehingga dapat diartikan bahwa seluruh kombinasi perlakuan memberikan pengaruh yang hampir sama terhadap parameter pengamatan
