APLIKASI ANDROID UNTUK MANAJEMEN PAKAN KOLAM IKAN

Ikan segar sebagai penghasil protein tinggi yang terjangkau oleh semua lapisan masyarakat dapat dijadikan alternatif pemenuh kebutuhan protein harian. Ikan menjadi sumber asam lemak tak jenuh, taurin, dan asam lemak omega-3, terutama pada ikan jenis tuna, tongkol, ikan kembung, dan ikan lemuru. Dalam budidaya ikan pada umumnya sekitar 60 – 80% biaya produksi dihabiskan untuk kebutuhan pakan. Pakan berpengaruh pada proses pertumbuhan, reproduksi, dan pemeliharaan tubuh ikan. Oleh karena itu pemantauan jumlah pakan yang diberikan menjadi hal yang penting untuk diperhatikan supaya lebih efisien. Selain itu waktu pemberian pakan juga tidak boleh sembarangan. Pemberian pakan yang baik adalah terjadwal dengan tepat waktu dan tidak berubah – ubah. Dengan berkembanganya teknologi mobile yang semakin pesat, pertumbuhan jumlah penggunanya pun kian meningkat. Salah satu teknologi mobile yang populer adalah Android. Operating Sistem (OS) yang kini banyak digunakan pada telepon seluler ini menyediakan platform terbuka bagi siapapun untuk pengembangan aplikasinya. Pada tugas akhir ini dirancang suatu sistem yang terintegrasi antara aplikasi smartphone Android dengan Raspberry Pi sebagai web server yang dapat digunakan sebagai pemantau pemberian pakan pada kolam ikan. Dengan demikian maka diharapkan pemantauan dan pengaturan pakan pada kolam budidaya ikan dapat lebih efisien. Kata kunci: android, Raspberry P

Clinical and endocrinological changes after electro-acupuncture treatment in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee

Neurobiological mechanisms invoking the release of endogenous opioids and depression of stress hormone release are believed to be the basis of acupuncture analgesia. This study compared plasma β-endorphin and cortisol levels with self assessment scores of intensity of pain, before and after 10 days of electro-acupuncture treatment in patients suffering from chronic pain as a result of osteoarthritis knees. Forty patients of either sex over 40 years with primary osteoarthritis knee were recruited into a single-blinded, sham-controlled study. For electro-acupuncture group the points were selected according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Meridian Theory. In the sham group needles were inserted at random points away from true acupoints and no current was passed. Both groups were treated for 10 days with one session every day lasting for 20–25 min. Pre- and post-treatment Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) index of osteoarthritis knee and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain were recorded and blood samples were taken for the measurement of plasma cortisol and β-endorphin levels. Following electro-acupuncture treatment there was a significant improvement in WOMAC index and VAS (p = 0.001), a significant rise in plasma β-endorphin (p = 0.001), and a significant fall in plasma cortisol (p = 0.016). In conclusion electro-acupuncture resulted in an improvement in pain, stiffness and disability. Of clinical importance is that an improvement in objective measures of pain and stress/pain associated biomarkers was shown above that of a sham treatment; hence demonstrating acupuncture associated physiological changes beyond that of the placebo effects

ENVIRONMENTAL AND BEHAVIOR FACTORS ON THE INCIDENCES OF TOXOPLASMOSIS AMONG MARRIED WOMEN

Background: Toxoplasmosis is a condition in which a person is infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Humanitarian transmission is closely linked to the environment in which they live and the conduct that allows the entry into the body of Oocyst Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmosis in married women is very dangerous because it can cause conditions of infertility, repeated spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and congenital abnormalities. This study aimed to analyze the association between environmental and behavior on toxoplasmosis incidences among married women. Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study carried out at the Alternative Medical Clinic, Aquatreat Therapy Indonesia Foundation in Bogor City during 2019. Total of 160 women were enrolled in this study and divided into 2 groups: 80 in case group and 80 in control group. The dependent variable was toxoplasmosis behavior. The independent variables were environmental and behavior factors. Data were collected from clinical laboratory results and questionnaire and analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: In environmental factors, presence of pets at home (OR= 3.73; 95%CI= 1.83 to 7.61; p<0.001), presence of wild cats or neighboring cats that are often seen around the house (OR= 2.63; 95%CI= 1.24 to 5.58; p= 0.012), and risky environment (OR= 9.60; 95%CI= 3.74 to 24.61; p<0.001) were significantly associated with toxoplasmosis among married women. In behavior factors, consumption of raw vegetables/vegetables (OR= 4.53; 95%CI= 1.23 to 16.73; p= 0.023), consumption of smoked meat/ steak/ undercooked (OR= 3.32; 95%CI= 0.12 to 0.77; p<0.001), food buying habits at roadside stalls (OR= 8.64; 95%CI= 0.03 to 0.50; p<0.001), and washing hands before eating (OR= 0.29; 95%CI= 1.80 to 25.50; p= 0.006) were significantly associated with toxoplasmosis among married women.

Geometric, Electronic, and Optoelectronic Properties of Carbon-Based Polynuclear C₃O[C(CN)₂]₂M₃ (where M = Li, Na, and K) Clusters: A DFT Study

Carbon-based polynuclear clusters are designed and investigated for geometric, electronic, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties at the CAM-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Significant binding energies per atom (ranging from −162.4 to −160.0 kcal mol−1) indicate excellent thermodynamic stabilities of these polynuclear clusters. The frontier molecular orbital (FMOs) analysis indicates excess electron nature of the clusters with low ionization potential, suggesting that they are alkali-like. The decreased energy gaps (EH-L) with increased alkali metals size revael the improved electrical conductivity (σ). The total density of state (TDOS) study reveals the alkali metals’ size-dependent electronic and conductive properties. The significant first and second hyperpolarizabilities are observed up to 5.78 × 103 and 5.55 × 106 au, respectively. The βo response shows dependence on the size of alkali metals. Furthermore, the absorption study shows transparency of these clusters in the deep-UV, and absorptions are observed at longer wavelengths (redshifted). The optical gaps from TD-DFT are considerably smaller than those of HOMO-LUMO gaps. The significant scattering hyperpolarizability (βHRS) value (1.62 × 104) is calculated for the C3 cluster, where octupolar contribution to βHRS is 92%. The dynamic first hyperpolarizability β(ω) is more pronounced for the EOPE effect at 532 nm, whereas SHG has notable values for second hyperpolarizability γ(ω)
