Deteksi Transmisi Virus Dengue Pada Nyamuk Wild Aedes Aegypti Betina Di Kota Manado

: Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute disease with clinical manifestations of hemorrhage caused by dengue virus infection. Manado is endemic dengue. Dengue virus has the ability to maintain its existence in nature through horizontal and vertical transmission. There are several ways to detect the dengue virus by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry Streptavidin Biotin Peroxidase Complex (ISBPC). This research aims to determine the wild Aedes aegypti population in Manado and to detect dengue virus in wild mosquito Aedes aegypti by ISBPC methods. This was a descriptive survey study with a cross sectional design to describe the transmission of dengue virus in wild mosquito Aedes aegypti in the city of Manado. The results showed that there were 5 wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes positive for dengue virus, and 36 wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes negative containing dengue virus. Conclusion: Of the 41 samples immunohistochemistry tested, 5 samples showed dengue virus transmission in wild mosquito Aedes aegypti in Manado which is a positive possibility of horizontal transmission

Jenis Dan Kepadatan Tungau Debu Rumah Yang Ditemukan Di Kelurahan Teling Bawah Kecamatan Wenang Kota Manado

: Based on data from district Wenang health centers, there are many known cases of asthma and dermatitis. Asthma and dermatitis can be caused by the presence of dust mites. House dust mites are found in damp houses, mattresses, pillows, bolsters, carpets and many other home furnishings. It highest population was found in the bedroom of dust, especially in mattress dust.. The purpose of this study to determine the species and density of house dust mites in the Teling Bawah Village, District of Wenang Manado City. This research method is descriptive survey with a cross-sectional approach (cross-sectional). Samples were collected from people's homes in the Teling Bawah Village, District of Wenang Manado City then examined in the laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado. Results of this study found four species of house dust mites are Dermatophagoides spp, acarus spp, Glycyphagus destrucor spp, and Tarsonemus spp. House dust mite densities obtained an average of 2.21 in the bedroom and 2.13 in the living room. Conclusion: TDR type most commonly found are Dermatophagoides spp and TDR density in the bedroom is higher than in the living room

Jenis Dan Kepadatan Tungau Debu Rumah Di Kelurahan Bitung Karang Ria Kecamatan Tuminting Kota Manado

: House Dust Mites located throughout the world, including Indonesia. Arthropods live in carpets, mattresses, clothes, etc. House Dust Mite populations most found in the bedroom of dust, especially in the mattress dust. House Dust Mites can also be found outside the home as in the nests of bird, mammals, skin surface and other animals. Factors supporting the number of House Dust Mites include temperature and humidity. The purpose of this study to determine the species and density of House Dust Mites in Bitung Karang Ria village, sub-district of Tuminting Manado city. This research method is descriptive survey with a cross sectional approach (cross-sectional). The results of this study suggest that the species of House Dust Mites located in Bitung Karang Ria village is Acarus spp, Tarsonemus spp, Glycyphagus destructor, Dermatophagoides spp, Cheyletus spp. The family room there is a lot more positive while the House Dust Mites populations more in the bedroom. House dust mites average density in the bedroom 2.63 and the family room 2.28. Conclusions: Species of House Dust Mites are most commonly found are Acarus spp and House Dust Mite density was higher in the bedroom than the living room

Survei Kecacingan Pada Anak Dengan Riwayat Alergi Di Sekolah Dasar Yang Terdapat Di Kecamatan Sario Kota Manado

: Helminthic infection is an important public health problem in several parts of the world. It was noted that during 2012 in Manado there were 104 cases of helminthic infection. There is similarity between the immunological pathways from helminthic infection and allergy which is characterized by increases Th2. But in chronic helminthic infection, excessive immune response can be suppressed and therefore contribute to reduced susceptible to allergies. This study aims to see the survey of helminthic infection in students with allergy history in Sario District, Manado. This study is a cross sectional descriptive study. ISAAC questionnaire was distributed to 138 students and after being analyzed, 37 of them are allergy positive, and 16 of them are willing to participate in this study. Feces and blood were obtained as sample. From 16 feces samples, it was found that there is no helminthic infection in any of them. From 16 blood samples, it was obtained that there are 2 (12,5%) samples with eosinophilia. Conclusion: based on study that was done, helmintic infection survey found all negative result in students with allergy history in Sario District, Manad

Density limit in discharges with high internal inductance on JT-60U

High densities exceeding the Greenwald limit by a factor of 1.7 have been obtained in L-mode discharges with high internal inductances of elli as high as 2.8 in JT-60U. The internal inductance is controlled by ramping down the plasma current. In addition to the extension of the operational regime limited by disruptions, confinement performance remains as good as an H89PL factor of 1.6 even above the Greenwald limit. While an earlier high elli study has indicated core confinement improvement due to enhancement of the poloidal field, the additional improvement of the tolerance against the high density turned out to be correlated with high edge temperature. The normalized density when the detachment occurs, characterized by a decrease in the Dα signal at the divertor, is even higher in the case with no disruption than in the case with a disruption. These comparisons have indicated that the improvement in thermal and particle transport does exist in the periphery and in the edge in high elli plasmas, and the shift of the density limit towards higher densities is observed coincidently. Although the high elli discharge studied here lies outside the usual parameter space for steady-state operation of a tokamak, demonstration of a stable discharge with good confinement beyond the Greenwald limit suggests that the magnetic shear at the edge is one key parameter to uncover the physical elements of the operational density limit

Lessons from bright-spots for advancing knowledge exchange at the interface of marine science and policy

Evidence-informed decision-making is in increasing demand given growing pressures on marine environments. A way to facilitate this is by knowledge exchange among marine scientists and decision-makers. While many barriers are reported in the literature, there are also examples whereby research has successfully informed marine decision-making (i.e., 'bright-spots'). Here, we identify and analyze 25 bright-spots from a wide range of marine fields, contexts, and locations to provide insights into how to improve knowledge exchange at the interface of marine science and policy. Through qualitative surveys we investigate what initiated the bright-spots, their goals, and approaches to knowledge exchange. We also seek to identify what outcomes/impacts have been achieved, the enablers of success, and what lessons can be learnt to guide future knowledge exchange efforts. Results show that a diversity of approaches were used for knowledge exchange, from consultative engagement to genuine knowledge co-production. We show that diverse successes at the interface of marine science and policy are achievable and include impacts on policy, people, and governance. Such successes were enabled by factors related to the actors, processes, support, context, and timing. For example, the importance of involving diverse actors and managing positive relationships is a key lesson for success. However, enabling routine success will require: 1) transforming the ways in which we train scientists to include a greater focus on interpersonal skills, 2) institutionalizing and supporting knowledge exchange activities in organizational agendas, 3) conceptualizing and implementing broader research impact metrics, and 4) transforming funding mechanisms to focus on need-based interventions, impact planning, and an acknowledgement of the required time and effort that underpin knowledge exchange activities
