Fluctuations and Movement Patterns of Race Chicken Egg Prices in Bengkulu Province

Chicken eggs are a staple food with a high enough animal protein content, but the price is quite affordable for all levels of society. This causes the consumption of chicken eggs to be relatively high compared to other animal protein sources, but currently, the amount of production and consumption by the public is not comparable; besides that, the price offered is constantly fluctuating. This study aims to determine price fluctuations and price movement patterns of broiler chicken eggs in Bengkulu Province. The data used is secondary data. The research method uses quantitative descriptive analysis. The research results show that. The risk of fluctuations in the price of broiler eggs in Bengkulu Province has a slightly higher risk for prices at the producer level when compared to prices at the consumer level. The development pattern of broiler egg prices in Bengkulu Province generally shows a positive direction. Fluctuations in the price of broiler eggs occur in specific periods. These fluctuations occur because they coincide with religious holidays such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Christmas and New Year, the influence of the Russia-Ukraine war, and economic problems due to the Covid-19 pandemic.Telur ayam merupakan salah satu makanan pokok yang memiliki kandungan protein hewani yang cukup tinggi namun harganya cukup terjangkau oleh semua lapisan masyarakat. Hal ini menyebabkan konsumsi telur ayam cukup tinggi dibandingkan sumber protein hewani lainnya, namun saat ini jumlah produksi dan konsumsi masyarakat tidak sebanding, selain itu harga yang ditawarkan selalu berfluktuasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui fluktuasi harga dan pola pergerakan harga telur ayam broiler di Provinsi Bengkulu. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder. Metode penelitian menggunakan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa.

Pola perkembangan harga telur ayam ras di Provinsi Bengkulu secara umum menunjukkan arah yang positif. Fluktuasi harga telur ayam pedaging terjadi pada periode tertentu. Fluktuasi tersebut terjadi karena bertepatan dengan hari besar keagamaan seperti bulan Ramadan, Idul Fitri, Natal dan Tahun Baru, serta pengaruh perang Rusia-Ukraina, serta masalah ekonomi akibat pandemi Covid-19.&nbsp

Are estimates of socioeconomic inequalities in chronic disease artefactually narrowed by self-reported measures of prevalence in low-income and middle-income countries? Findings from the WHO-SAGE survey

Background: The use of self-reported measures of chronic disease may substantially underestimate prevalence in low-income and middle-income country settings, especially in groups with lower socioeconomic status (SES). We sought to determine whether socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) differ if estimated by using symptom-based or criterion-based measures compared with self-reported physician diagnoses. Methods: Using population-representative data sets of the WHO Study of Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE), 2007–2010 (n=42 464), we calculated wealth-related and education-related concentration indices of self-reported diagnoses and symptom-based measures of angina, hypertension, asthma/chronic lung disease, visual impairment and depression in three ‘low-income and lower middle-income countries’—China, Ghana and India—and three ‘upper-middle-income countries’—Mexico, Russia and South Africa. Results: SES gradients in NCD prevalence tended to be positive for self-reported diagnoses compared with symptom-based/criterion-based measures. In China, Ghana and India, SES gradients were positive for hypertension, angina, visual impairment and depression when using self-reported diagnoses, but were attenuated or became negative when using symptom-based/criterion-based measures. In Mexico, Russia and South Africa, this distinction was not observed consistently. For example, concentration index of self-reported versus symptom-based angina were: in China: 0.07 vs −0.11, Ghana: 0.04 vs −0.21, India: 0.02 vs −0.16, Mexico: 0.19 vs −0.22, Russia: −0.01 vs −0.02 and South Africa: 0.37 vs 0.02. Conclusions: Socioeconomic inequalities in NCD prevalence tend to be artefactually positive when using self-report compared with symptom-based or criterion-based diagnostic criteria, with greater bias occurring in low-income countries. Using standardised, symptom-based measures would provide more valid estimates of NCD inequalities

Des lacs collinaires pour un développement durable en Tunisie semi-aride

L'opération lac collinaire est une des composantes les plus importantes de la stratégie nationale et décennale 1990-2000 en matière de conservation des eaux et des sols en Tunisie. Les premiers résultats des observations d'un échantillon d'une cinquantaine d'ouvrages conduisent à la présentation d'une typologie fondée sur l'utilisation de la ressource hydrique qui est encore peu développée. L'accent est mis sur le rôle majeur que peuvent jouer ces aménagements dans la prise de conscience d'une protection de l'environnement et dans l'amorce d'un développement local beaucoup plus autonome et durable. Ce dernier nécessite toutefois de préciser davantage le rôle de chaque partenaire concerné par l'aménagement. (Résumé d'auteur

Spatiotemporal chaos induces extreme events in an extended microcavity laser

Extreme events such as rogue wave in optics and fluids are often associated with the merging dynamics of coherent structures. We present experimental and numerical results on the physics of extreme events appearance in a spatially extended semiconductor microcavity laser with intracavity saturable absorber. This system can display deterministic irregular dynamics only thanks to spatial coupling through diffraction of light. We have identified parameter regions where extreme events are encountered and established the origin of this dynamics in the emergence of deterministic spatiotemporal chaos, through the correspondence between the proportion of extreme events and the dimension of the strange attractor

Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from crustacean by-products: Biological and physicochemical properties

Chitin has been extracted from two Tunisian crustacean species. The obtained chitin was transformed into the more useful soluble chitosan. These products were characterized by their biological activity as antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The tested bacterial strains were Escherichia coli American Type Cell Culture (ATCC) 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27950 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Four fungi strains were also tested Candida glabrata, Candida albicans, Candidaparapsilensis and Candida kreusei. Squilla chitosan showed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the different fungi exceptionally for C. kreusei. Their antioxidant activity was investigated with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation. Parapenaeus longirostris Chitosan showed the highest radical scavenging properties. Chitin and chitosan produced were also characterized with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).Key words: Antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, chitin, chitosan, crustacean

Biochemical composition of three Tunisian silverside (fish) populations caught in open sea, lagoon and island coasts

Fatty acid and amino acid profiles were determined in three silverside populations caught in Tunisian waters Atherina boyeri (open sea), Atherina lagunae (lagoon) and Atherina sp. (island coasts). Saturated fatty acids reached in total lipids 43.54%, 36.96% in marine and 33.64% in insular silverside and A. lagunae, in which eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and linoleic acid were the prominent fatty acids. The n-3/n-6 index showed a significant level indicating a tendency to accumulate n-3 fatty acids in A. boyeri and A. lagunae and n-6 fatty acids in Atherina sp. Total amino acid content ranged from 528 to 588 mg/g crude protein, in which, glutamic acid was the most abundant. Methionine had the lowest essential amino acid score in A. boyeri and Atherina sp. (0.73 and 0.71, respectively)while tryptophan had the lowest in A. lagunae (0.07)

A Generalization of Girod's Bidirectional Decoding Method to Codes with a Finite Deciphering Delay

Girod's encoding method has been introduced in order to efficiently decode from both directions messages encoded by using finite prefix codes. In the present paper, we generalize this method to finite codes with a finite deciphering delay. In particular, we show that our decoding algorithm can be realized by a deterministic finite transducer. We also investigate some properties of the underlying unlabeled graph

In vitro ruminal fermentation, nutritional evaluation and antioxidant activity of some forest shrubs of North West Tunisia for goats

Chemical composition and characteristics of in vitro fermentation were determined for two shrubs (Genista aspalathoides and Rhamnus alaternus) collected from north western Tunisia. The primary and secondary chemical composition was determined and in vitro fermentation parameters were measured in 100 ml glass syringes for 48 hours to determine gas production. There are significant differences in chemical and wall composition for the two shrubs studied (p < 0.05). Rhamnus alaternus is richer in secondary metabolites (59.2 mg GAE / g DM) than Genista aspalathoides and has the highest content of crude protein (CP). Genista aspalathoides had the lowest anti-radical activity since it has the highest levels of secondary metabolites, so it is the most digestible species with the highest value of gas production after 24 hours incubation and released more methane than Rhamnus alaternus.
