Hubungan Antara Parameter Oseanografi Dengan Kandungan Klorofil-a Pada Musim Timur Di Perairan Utara Papua

The aims of the research are to determine correlation between chlorophyll a distribution and oceanographyparameter at North Papua Waters dan to identify oceanography parameter which have strong correlation onchlorophyll a distribution especially on East Monsoon. The purpose of the research provide an information aboutthe pattern of chlorophyll a distribution and key oceanography paramater which most affected on chlorophyll aconcentration at the research site. Temperature and salinity were measured using CTD (Conductivity TemperatureDepth) Guildline-6000. Waters ample for measuring chemical paramater was done using Super Rosette Samplerthat have Niskin Bottle that submerge with the CTD. The result showed oceanography parameter affectedsignificantly on chlorophyll a concentration based on depth, chemical parameter. This effect was higher than othereffects in particular on surface water till 200 meter depth

WATER QUALITY OF SEAWEED CULTIVATION (Eucheuma cottonii) LOCATION IN OLD TAKALAR, MAPPAKASUNGGU DISTRICT, TAKALAR REGENCY

This study was aimed to determine the water quality and seaweed growth and the relationship between  oceanographic parameters and the growth of seaweed Eucheuma cottonii. This research was carried out from June-July 2021 at a seaweed cultivation location in Old Takalar, Mappakasunggu District, Takalar Regency. The seaweed cultivation method used is the longline method placed at three cultivation sites. Oceanographic parameters of physicochemical waters measured were temperature, salinity, pH, brightness, depth, current velocity, tides, nitrate, phosphate and dissolved oxygen. For the measurement of the growth of E. cottonii seaweed, the absolute growth was measured using One Way Anova analysis to determine differences in seaweed growth at each station of E. cottonii cultivation location. The correlation between oceanographic parameters and the growth of E. cottonii seaweed was analyzed using a correlation test. The results showed that the water quality at the cultivation site was within a reasonable range for seaweed cultivation in Old Takalar. The results of One Way Anova showed that there were significant differences in seaweed growth at each station where E. cottonii was cultivated. The results of the correlation test showed that the oceanographic parameters of the waters were very strongly correlated with the growth of E. cottonii seaweed, namely temperature, brightness, and depth

Extension Performance in Agricultural Development: The Urgency of Integrated Agricultural System Education for Farmers

Abstract: The important role of agricultural development as a production factor is greatly influenced by extension services as a means of education in the sustainable use of natural resources. Extension performance is considered important regarding the role of farmer education, technology adoption aimed at community welfare. This research is empirical research on various supporting literature, accompanied by descriptive observational actions regarding the important role of extension in assisting farmers' understanding of smart farming which leads to farming efficiency and agricultural sustainability. The discussion includes strengthening extension performance, education on integrated agricultural systems and development policies through agricultural extension. There needs to be an important formal management role, not only in putting farmer education through extension services on the agenda and allocating resources for the change process, but also by acting as role models. An integrated system that promotes low input, integrated agriculture increases productivity, reduces operational costs, optimizes the use of resources such as water and fertilizer, and reduces the environmental impact of agricultural activities. Extension is not only about completing tasks but also about responsibility for income and welfare as well as increasing awareness in preserving the function of the environment

Association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism with the risk of knee OA: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background Previous studies have linked genetics to knee osteoarthritis. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism may cause OA. However, evidence remains inconsistent. This study examines knee OA risk and ACE gene I/D polymorphism. Methods We explored Europe PMC, Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library using keywords. Three assessment bias factors were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Criteria for inclusion: (1) Split the study population into knee OA patients and healthy controls; (2) Analysed the ACE gene I/D polymorphism; (3) Case-control or cross-sectional surveys. Studies with non-knee OA, incomplete data, and no full-text were excluded. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using random-effect models. Results A total of 6 case-control studies consist of 1,226 patients with knee OA and 1,145 healthy subjects as controls were included. Our pooled analysis revealed that a significant association between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and risk of knee OA was only seen in the dominant (DD + ID vs. II) [OR 1.69 (95% CI 1.14 – 2.50), p = 0.009, I2 = 72%], and ID vs. II [OR 1.37 (95% CI 1.01– 1.86), p = 0.04, I2 = 43%] genotype models. Other genotype models, including recessive (DD vs. ID + II), alleles (D vs. I), DD vs. ID, and DD vs. II models did not show a significant association with knee OA risk. Further regression analysis revealed that ethnicity and sex may influence those relationships in several genotype models. Conclusions Dominant and ID vs. II ACE gene I/D polymorphism models increased knee OA risk significantly. More research with larger samples and different ethnic groups is needed to confirm our findings. After ethnicity subgroup analysis, some genetic models in our study showed significant heterogeneities, and most studies are from Asian countries with Asian populations, with little evidence on Arabs

Transparency of Commitment Making Officials (PPK) in the Implementation of Auctions of Goods and Services in the Health Sector in South Sulawesi Province

Transparency in the management of auctions for the construction of hospitals and medical devices is important, there are still many indications of fraud committed by irresponsible persons making the auction process unaccountable, therefore the purpose of this research is to see the transparency of the implementation of the duties of the commitment makers (PPK) in the implementation of Goods and Services Auction in South Sulawesi Province, especially in the health sector. Data collection techniques used in the form of interviews, literature study, observation, and documentation, data analysis consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the implementation of the duties of the Commitment Making Officer (PPK) in the auction of goods and services in the health sector in South Sulawesi Province was not optimal, because even though information on each stage of the auction process was available on the LPSE website, the availability and accessibility of documents for evaluation was still a formality, it was still weak
