PENGARUH PEMBERIAN SUPLEMEN BESI DAN VITAMIN C TERHADAP DAYA TAHAN AEROB DAN KADAR HEMOGLOBIN Oleh : Sri

A nemia is medical condition that marked by decrease of erythrocyte level or hematocryte level or hemoglobin level. This condition is mostly caused by iron deficiency, as we know iron is the mean factor of hemoglobin, part of erythrocyte who tie up oxygen molecule. Prevalency iron deficiency anemia in Indonesia is 428/1000 for boy and 492/1000 for girl in 2007. Prevalency anemia clinic is 12,8% and 70,1% of it is iron deficiency anemia in 2007. Iron deficiency anemia is the most cause of decrease maximal aerobic power. Iron and vitamin C supplementation are believed can increase the hemoglobin level. The rise of hemoglobin level can increase oxygen uptake in order to improve maximal aerobic power. This study was aimed to examine the effect of iron and vitamin C supplementation on hemoglobin level and further to the maximal aerobic power. This study was randomized controlled pre and posttest double blind trial. Samples were 120 of subject who were got from random sampling. Samples are signed into 4 groups. Groups I received iron and vitamin C supplementation, group II received iron, group III received vitamin C, group IV received placebo. Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney and Regression analysis were used for data analysis. The changes of hemoglobin level pre-posttes was highest shown by group I(mean 1,54), then group II (mean 0,82), group III (mean 0,17)last group IV (mean 0). This change was statistically significant by Kruskal Wallis (p<0.001). The changes of maximal aerobic power pre-posttest was highest shown by goup I (mean 40,80) then group II (mean 20.83), group III (mean 5,67) last Group IV (mean 5,33). This change was statistically significant by Kruskal Wallis (p<0.001) The change of hemoglobin level according to cuple group of intervention shows statistically significant by Mann Whitneey (p<0.001). Hemoglobin level has a significant ccorrelation to maximal aerobic power as shown by the regression coefficient of 0,21 that if hemoglobin level improve 1%, maximal aerobic power also improve 21% (p<0.001). Iron and vitamin C supplementation give a significant effect to improve hemoglobin level and that further to improve maximal aerobic power. Iron and vitamin C supplementation will give the best effect if they as taken together. Hemoglobin has significant correlation to the maximal aerobic power. Key Word : Iron supplementation, Vitamin C, Hemoglobin, Maximal Aerobic Power
The Evolution of Flowering Time Regulation in Beta Species

The species Beta vulgaris encompasses wild and cultivated members with a broad range of phenological development. The annual life cycle is commonly found in wild beets, which germinate, bolt and flower within one season. Biennials such as sugar beet require prolonged exposure to cold temperature over winter to acquire floral competence. Sugar beet is the only sucrose-storing crop grown for sugar production in Europe. Flowering time strongly affects yield and is a trait of high agronomic relevance. From Arabidopsis, we learned about the prominent module of CONSTANS (CO) and the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), which induces flowering and appears conserved among various plant species. In beet, two FT paralogs, BvFT1 and BvFT2, have been detected, having evolved antagonistic functions. Despite, BOLTING TIME CONTROL 1 (BTC1) and BvBBX19, encoding a DOUBLE B-BOX TYPE ZINC FINGER protein, were identified to control life cycle switch in beet. However, a true orthologue of CO has not yet been found. This study aimed at extending the knowledge of the genetic factors behind bolting in Beta species. Mapping of a new bolting locus led to the identification of the btc1l allele which caused life cycle switch in beet, due to minor sequence variation in the coding region. Phenotyping of a diverse Beta panel revealed that geographical origin has a strong impact on life cycle adaptation. Haplotype analysis of BTC1, BvBBX19, BvFT1 and BvFT2 uncovered a high conservation of the protein-domains with regard to SNP occurrence and indicate that domestication of cultivated sugar beets is mainly attributed to BTC1. The results of this work notably contribute to the knowledge about the evolution of life cycle variation in Beta species under natural conditions and under breeding selection. Moreover, the identified btc1l allele may provide a future resource for breeding winter beets.

In our society, teacher-student relationship is valued to be a key mechanism in maintaining children’s learning process especially during kindergarten and elementary school period. Thus, it is important for school organizations to examine more on factors that influence teachers’ willingness to loyalty work in the same school for a long period of time. This can help school authorities to preserve teachers’ commitment towards the school organization as well as to manage the continuation of children’s learning process in the school. For that purpose, this study was aimed to analyze the effect of work environment, work satisfaction, and work stress on organizational commitment of kindergarten and elementary teachers in school X at West Jakarta. Teachers at school X were recruited as participants using saturated sample method. Partial Least Square analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 3.0 Program to analyze the data. The result indicated that the work environment and work satisfaction has a positive effect on organizational commitment. While, work stress has a negative effect on organizational commitment
Modelling rumen volatile fatty acids and its evaluation on net portal fluxes in ruminants

The production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) is still poorly predicted by rumen models despite its major contribution to ruminant energy supply. We aimed at building an empirical model describing production rates (PR) of individual VFA in the rumen. Three distinct bibliographic data bases were used. They gathered published in vivo measurements on ruminal VFA-PR, digestive fluxes and molar proportion of VFA in the rumen, and net portal fluxes of VFA. These data bases cover a wide range of intake levels and dietary composition. A meta-analysis was performed, using within-experiment models. Models were derived, describing total VFA-PR and individual VFA molar proportions in the rumen from variation in dry matter intake level and dietary composition. The VFA-PR was explained by intake of rumen fermentable organic matter (RfOM), calculated from detailed knowledge of the chemical composition of diets according to INRA Feed Tables, with the effect of other factors remaining non significant. The VFA molar proportions were explained by dry matter intake, digestible organic matter, digestible neutral detergent fibre and rumen starch digestibility. Based on these results, we proposed an empirical model to predict individual VFA-PR from simple predictors which represent the nature of digested substrates, as well as their site and extent of digestion. The model can be used under a wide range of levels of feed intake and dietary composition. Evaluation of predicted VFA-PR indicated close relationships with observed net portal appearance of VFA. The relationships were consistent with quantitative knowledge on VFA metabolism by the digestive tissues.
Potato virus Y: a century of evolution.

Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most economically important plant pathogens. First described in the 1930s as a pathogen of potato, PVY infects a wide host range mainly within the Solanaceae and is distributed worldwide. This virus is transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner and has a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome of about 10 kb in length that encodes a large polyprotein cleaved into nine products and a recently described small open reading frame encoding the PIPO protein. Four host-dependent (tobacco, potato, tomato or pepper) classifications of PVY isolates have been established. This review will focus on PVY isolates that infect potato and historically been classified, according to their biological properties, into five strain groups. In the past 20 years epidemiological studies have highlighted the emergence of additional distinct potato PVY isolates with increased of virulence and/or aggressiveness that do not conform to the historical classification system. Biological, serological, and molecular comparisons of these new PVY isolates with historical isolates suggest that PVY is evolving both from mutations and recombination events. This paper reviews the main data resulting from a century of PVY evolution.
What You Know Makes a Difference: Physical Activity Maintenance and Adherence of Collegiate Students

For decades, exercise psychology researchers dismissed health/exercise knowledge as a determinant of physical activity (PA). We sought to overturn this misconception, showing that psychological theory may serve as a basis for informing physical education curriculum. Based on social cognitive and self-determined motivation theories, we examined health/exercise knowledge as a determinant of collegiate students’ PA maintenance (i.e., ≥ 6 months of regular PA involvement); adherence to United States Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) 2008 PA guidelines; and PA types (i.e., aerobic, weight training). Collegiate students (n = 231) provided data via online survey. ANOVA analyses revealed that knowledge scores differentiated: a) participants in the maintenance stage from non-active participants (medium effect size); b) guideline adherents from non-adherents (medium-large effect size); and c) engagement in both PA types compared to only aerobic (large effect size). Males reported significantly higher perceived knowledge than females (medium-large effect size) though actual scores were not significantly different. This study provided evidence that knowledge is relevant to collegiate students’ PA. Future research may aid physical educators in determining knowledge types, based on psychological theory, that increase PA maintenance/adherence.
Evolutionary dynamics of neoplastic cell populations in Barrett's esophagus

Cancer is a disease that develops over decades as result of acquisition of abnormalities in the genomes of otherwise normal cells. Acquired genomic heterogeneity in populations of cells within tissues allows cell-level Darwinian evolution that selects abnormal cellular genotypes encoding neoplastic (new benign growth), and in some cases cancerous (invasion within tissues and metastasis across tissues) cellular phenotypes. I studied neoplastic evolution over time in vivo in the pre-malignant condition Barrett's esophagus to address the puzzling clinical phenomenon that 90-95% of individuals with Barrett's stay benign over decades compared to the remaining 5-10% who progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Some individuals with Barrett's use aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that have been shown to reduce mortality from esophageal adenocarcinoma. I collaborated with the Seattle Barrett's Esophagus Research Program group to test the hypothesis that NSAIDs modulate genome evolution of neoplastic cells by reducing the acquisition rate of somatic genomic abnormalities (SGA). We used single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to detect SGA, such as copy number abnormalities and loss of heterozygosity, in 161 biopsies from 13 individuals with Barrett's, obtained over 5-8 time points during 6-19 years of follow-up care. Over the followup period, each individual had a single change in NSAID use, allowing us to compare acquisition of SGA during periods on NSAIDs versus periods off NSAIDs within individuals. We found that the rate of accumulation of SGA was significantly lower (typically ten-fold lower) during periods on NSAIDs versus periods off NSAIDs. We also found that typically 1-3% of the genome had acquired SGA at baseline and that this percentage did not increase significantly over decades. In one individual who progressed to esophageal adenocarcinoma we detected a clonally expanded subpopulation of cells within the Barrett's tissue, which had massive SGA affecting 19% of the genome in the last 3 of 11 years of follow-up. In summary, these findings suggest that NSAID use may reduce SGA acquisition rate and that neoplastic cell populations in Barrett's can maintain evolutionary stasis over decades potentially explaining why 90-95% of individuals with Barrett's remain benign and never progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Elevation and moths in a central eastern Queensland rainforest

Elevational gradients are powerful natural experiments for the investigation of ecological responses to changing climates. Automated modified Pennsylvania light traps were used to sample macro-moth assemblages for three consecutive nights at each of 24 sites ranging from 200 m asl to 1200 m asl within continuous tropical rainforest at Eungella, Queensland, Australia (21°S, 148°E). A total of 13 861 individual moths representing approximately 713 morphospecies and 10 045 individuals belonging to approximately 607 morphospecies where sampled during November 2013 and March 2014 respectively. Moth assemblages exhibited a strong elevational signal during both sampling seasons; we grouped these into lowland and upland assemblages. The dispersal pattern of moth assemblages across the landscape reflected the stratification of vegetation communities across elevation and correlated with shifts in eco-physical variables, most notably temperature and substrate organic matter. Regional historical biogeographical events likely contributed to the observed patterns. The analysis presented here identifies a set of statistically defined elevationally restricted moths which may be of use as part of a multi-taxon predictor set for monitoring future ecosystem level changes associated with elevation and, by implication, with climate.

Assessment of soil chemical Properties under different land uses in Barog-Dhillon watershed in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh

The present investigation entitled “Assessment of soil chemical properties under different land uses in Barog-Dhillon watershed in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh” was carried out with a view to ascertain the chemical properties of soils under different land uses viz. agriculture land, forest land, grassland and scrub land under project area and non-project area of Barog-Dhillon watershed. On the basis of detailed survey and random sampling, representative soil samples from two depths i.e. 0-15cm and 15-30cm were collected. The highest soil pH (6.84) was recorded under scrub land where as lowest under forest land (6.37). The electrical conductivity was found highest under scrub land (0.32 d Sm-1) and lowest (0.18 d Sm-1) in grassland soils. The soil organic carbon content of different land uses was recorded highest under grassland soils (17.05 g kg-1) and lowest under scrub land (6.71 g kg-1). The cation exchange capacity in soils of different land uses was highest under forest land soils (15.84 cmol (p+) kg-1) whereas lowest under scrub land (7.97 cmol (p+) kg-1). Available N was higher in grassland soils (316.38 kg ha-1) and lowest under scrub land soils (168.75 kg ha-1). Highest available phosphorus contents were recorded in the soils under agricultural land (60.56 kg ha-1). Highest available potassium contents were recorded in the soils under grassland soils (252.76 kg ha-1) whereas lowest under scrub land (177.98 kg ha-1). The study showed that chemical properties of soil assessed for different land uses were found better in case of watershed project area as compared to non-watershed project area.
The Genetic Basis for ConstructingSelection Indexes

TH E idea of a yardstick or selection index for measuring the net merit of breeding animals is probably almost as old as the art of animal breeding itself. In practice several or many traits influence an animal’s practical value, although they do so in varying degrees. The information regarding different traits may vary widely, some coming from an animal’s relatives and some from the animal’s own performance for traits which are expressed once or repeatedly during its lifetime. LUSH (1935) emphasized that permanent improvement from phenotypic selection is proportional to the additively genetic (heritable) fraction of the observed variance and that this varies for different traits. DOBZHANSK(1Y9 37)s uggested “that most, and possibly all, genes have manifold effects. ” These factors make wise selection a complicated and uncertain procedure; in addition fluctuating, vague, and sometimes erroneous ideals often cause the improvement resulting from selection to be much less than could be achieved if these obstacles were overcome.
Socioeconomic Determinants Affecting Compliance to therapy in Patients with Congenital Hypothyroidism in Sharkia Governorate

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common preventable causes of mental retardation in children thus compliance to medication is known to improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes. Compliance to therapy can be affected by multiple factors. Objectives: The study aimed to explore compliance of the patients' guardian to medical therapy and to explore the socioeconomic factors affecting compliance to medication in patients with CH. Methods: A cohort follow-up study was conducted in Endocrinology and Pediatric Outpatient Clinics in Sharkia Governorate health insurance center. The study participants were 120 newborn and infant with CH. Data were collected using multi-structured questionnaires for determining socioeconomic state and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS 8) to assess patient compliance. The results of investigations at diagnosis (initial TSH and T4) and during the follow-up visits were reviewed. Results: About two third of patient families were highly compliant to therapy. Compliance to therapy was affected by the occupational and educational levels of the parents as well as residence, income, social class of the parents and presence of symptoms and associated congenital anomalies. But the most significant factors affecting compliance to therapy were mother's education, social class, and the presence of symptoms at presentation.Conclusion: Compliance with L-thyroxin therapy in our patients and/or their family was found to be reasonable. The most significant factors affecting the compliance were mother's education, social class, and the presence of symptoms at presentation.
Flowering habit of two bamboo species, Phyllostachys meyeri and Shibataea chinensis, analyzed with flowering gene expression

Two bamboo species, Phyllostachys meyeri McClure and Shibataea chinensis Nakai, which each originated from one clone cultivated in the Fuji Bamboo Garden, Japan, exhibited single-genet flowering and temporal changes in flowering and the regeneration process were investigated from 2004 to 2008 and from 2004 to 2011 in P. meyeri and S. chinensis, respectively. The clump of P. meyeri flowered when most mother culms were dead, followed by recovery with seedlings and survived rhizome system and a few culms continued to flower during 5 years, whereas S. chinensis flowered with mother culms alive, and most of the culms continued flowering in each spring until 2011. These processes were analyzed using expression levels of flowering promoting gene FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) homologues and flowering repressing gene TERMINAL FLOWER 1/CENTRORADIALIS (TFL1/CEN) homologues by the quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. The expression level of FT homologues was highest in the leaves during full bloom in both species, decreased gradually over the next 2 years and vanished in 5 years in P. meyeri, but remained high for 3 years in S. chinensis. These results suggest that the expression level of FT homologues was related to flowering, irrespective of flowering behavior. Simultaneous expression of both genes was detected only in the inflorescences. The relationship between expression balance and flowering habit and inflorescence architecture is discussed.
