Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Kejadian Anemia Pada Siswi SMA Negeri 3 Kendari Tahun 2023

Anemia is a condition of the body in which the level of hemoglobin in the blood is less than normal. The prevalence rate of anemia in adolescents aged 15-24 years is 32%. According to WHO, normal hemoglobin levels for women over 15 years of age are >12.0 g/dl (>7.5 mmol). Anemia has a negative impact on the health of a teenager if it occurs continuously. The purpose of this investigation is to ascertain how the SMA 3 Kendari students' food, nutritional status, use of blood-supplement tablets, and menstrual cycle relate to the occurrence of anemia in 2023. This type of research is a quantitative study with a cross sectional research design. The sample of this research was 94 respondents who were selected using a purposive-sampling technique and were analyzed using the chi square test. The results showed that there were 56.4% who had cases of anemia and 43.6% who were not anemic. There is a relationship between diet (p value = 0.014), nutritional status (p value = 0.012) and consumption of blood supplement tablets (p value = 0.027) There is no correlation between the menstrual cycle and anemia occurrence (p value = 0.413) and the incidence of anemia. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between diet, there is a correlation between nutritional status and the use of blood-supplement tablets with the prevalence of anemia, but not with the menstrual cycle.
International Real Estate Review

This paper uses the house price indices of 20 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) across the United States from January 1991 to April 2018 to analyze the dynamic connectedness of the housing markets in these MSAs. By estimating the connectedness of the entire sample before, during, and after the subprime mortgage crisis, this paper compares the changes in the impact of each regional housing market in the abovementioned MSAs during the stated time period. The results show that housing markets in west coast MSAs are the most influential, and the spatial distribution of this influence is affected by the subprime mortgage crisis because, compared to other periods, the fewest MSAs have a positive net impact during the crisis period and are found along the coast. The influence of the west coast cities increases after the subprime mortgage crisis compared to that before the crisis, probably because the house prices in these cities recover more quickly. In addition, an increase in connectedness represents more systematic risks and also influences the connectedness of the housing markets with other financial markets. The results of this paper also indicate that if the Federal Reserve uses monetary policies to interfere with the housing market, this might increase the default risks of the entire housing market across the United States, and a financial crisis from the spread of default risks might ensue. By discussing the linkage of the regional housing markets across the United States, we provide another warning indicator for the risks of housing markets, risks linked to other financial markets, and uncertainty risks for the overall economy.
Test fill on soft plastic marine clay at Onsøy, Norway

The test fill at Onsoy, close to the town of Fredrikstad in Norway, was built on a very soft marine clay with in situ vane strength as low as 11 kPa and a plasticity index varying from 34 to 50. The dimensions at the bottom of the long fill were 20 m × 60 m and the height 2.3 m. The fill, as placed, had a computed factor of safety against foundation failure of 1.35 based on in situ vane strength. The fill was allowed to sit for about 3 years (from 1972 to 1975) before it, in a second stage, was brought to failure by raising the height. The main purpose of the first stage was to study the stress–strain–time relationships for the soft clay and compare the values of geotechnical parameters determined by careful laboratory tests with those back-calculated from the observed field behaviour. The test fill foundation was heavily instrumented to measure clay deformations and pore pressures with time. Field observations showed that the Onsoy test fill turned out to be more of a drained loading case than an undrain.
International Real Estate Review

The market integration of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the US and four Asian markets as well as between their local stock and REIT markets are investigated in this paper. Using a number of modern econometric techniques on three integration indictors/proxies: time-varying conditional correlations, dynamic risk connectivity (variance-covariance) and cause and effect dependency of linear /nonlinear spillover and connectedness, we find that the five REIT markets show less integration than their corresponding stock markets. Moreover, the modelling of the portfolio risk spillover and connectedness (with covariance) shows a higher average level of market integration for the Asian REIT group. The REIT markets have experienced some significant shifts in their net total and net-pairwise directional risk connectivity. Additionally, investors and policymakers are reminded that any modelling of the cause and effect dependency of the REIT markets should be implemented with linear regression equations and a nonlinear value at risk system in risk spillover and connectedness (with covariance). Finally, significant contagious effects are identified across the REIT markets and stock and REIT portfolios during the global financial crisis and China stock market crash.
International Real Estate Review

Three striking empirical regularities have been repeatedly reported: the positive correlation between housing prices and trading volume, and between housing price and time-on-the-market (TOM), and the existence of price dispersion. This short paper provides perhaps the first unifying framework which mimics these phenomena in a simple competitive search framework. In the equilibrium, sellers with heterogeneous waiting costs and buyers are endogenously segregated into different submarkets, each with distinct market tightness and prices. With endogenous search efforts, our model also reproduces the well-documented price- volume correlation. Directions for future research are also discussed.
Eye Disease in Patients with Rheumatic Diseases: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study

Data on eye diseases in rheumatic patients are limited. The aim of this study was to retrospectively assess the prevalence of ophthalmologic diseases in patients at a rheumatology outpatient clinic who also visited the ophthalmologic clinic. For this retrospective observational cohort study, a chart review was performed according to the STROBE guidelines. In this cohort, an ophthalmologic diagnosis was made in 26.9% of the 1529 rheumatic outpatients, whereas from a rheumatologic perspective, inflammatory non-infectious diagnoses dominated, at 71.7%. From an ophthalmologic perspective, diagnoses without inflammatory pathophysiologic backgrounds dominated, at 54.9%. Inflammatory non-infectious ophthalmologic disease was diagnosed in 24.2% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 29.3% of patients with peripheral spondyloarthritis. Not a single rheumatoid arthritis patient was diagnosed with anterior uveitis; however, 16.5% of spondyloarthritis patients were diagnosed with anterior uveitis (p < 0.001). The prevalence of uveitis was 16.3% in axial and 20.1% in peripheral spondyloarthritis. In conclusion, an interdisciplinary rheumatologic–ophthalmologic setting appears justified to further improve the management of patients with rheumatic diseases.
International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research

We studied the determining factors that are significantly linked to food insecurity in rural areas. The most affected households are those having large size, those who devote a part of their expenses in the education of their children in the year preceding the food insecurity occurrence, and those who have experienced flood and drought event in the year preceding the food insecurity occurrence. From the model results, we learn that animal possession, the number of cultivated fields, expenses on agricultural tools and seeds reduce the risk of exposure to food insecurity. In view of these results, for the effectiveness of the fight against food insecurity, a political from authorities that strives to master the control factors associated with it is needed. Policies and strategies that involve the control of agricultural input prices and subsidies on chemical fertilizers and seeds are essential to sustain the fight against food insecurity. This study is also based on vulnerability resilience indicator across regional levels following Temesgen Deressa, Rashid M. Hassan and Claudia Ringler (2008). The resilience is computed as the net effect of exposure and sensitivity on adaptive capacity and the higher net value the lesser vulnerability. The result shows that rural households living in the regions of Dosso and Tahoua are relatively less vulnerable because of their high adaptive capacity than those of the five other regions of which those of Zinder and Niamey are the most vulnerable due to their high sensitivity and exposure to climate stress.
Thinking about Thinking: The Relationship between Confidence, Attainment and Metacognition in Computer Science

Thinking about thinking, or metacognition as it is better known, is something that cannot be easily taught but rather is developed and practised by an individual. It can be beneficial because students make connections between their learning experiences, discover their own learning preferences and can improve their understanding of interconnection between concepts that the current HE system of modularisation tends to undermine. It is a skill that an individual develops and practices over time based on a wide range of experiences and learning opportunities. We hope to develop teaching approaches that help to improve students’ awareness of their own metacognitive processes and learning strategies and by extension, their confidence in applying their previous experiences and knowledge to unfamiliar tasks and problems they encounter during their degree. This paper outlines a preliminary study that explores the impact of confidence on student attainment. The study involved reviewing three stages of student experience - (i) The level of experience and confidence of students when entering the first year of the degree, (ii) their attainment at the end of first year and (iii) their level of confidence before and after coursework submission in the second year of their degree. Our results show that there may be a direct relationship between confidence levels and student attainment. Our results show there is some link between metacognition and confidence, with further exploration we can identify this link further and create metacognitive learning strategies.
Dynamic micromechanical measurement of the flexural modulus of micrometre-sized diameter single natural fibres using a vibrating microcantilever technique

The dynamic response of a structure is a manifestation of its inherent characteristics, including material density, mechanical modulus, thermo- and viscoelastic properties, and geometric properties. Together, these factors influence how the material behaves in dynamic scenarios, dictating its damping properties and behaviour under varying forces. In this study we present a novel approach to accurately determine the flexural (bending) modulus of microscopic diameter natural fibres (flax) using microcantilever vibration analysis. Traditionally, the characterisation of the mechanical properties of fibres has relied on macroscopic methods such as tensile testing, which often results in high scatter in measurement data; furthermore, tensile testing does not accurately represent microscale or dynamic conditions and can be complex in terms of sample preparation and loading. To address this, we have developed a microscale technique involving the fabrication of microcantilevers using flat polypropylene support chips, inspired by microelectromechanical systems approaches. Our method provides a refined method for accurately characterising the mechanical modulus of flax fibres, with reduced data dispersion compared to traditional macroscopic testing. Furthermore, by reducing the influence of inherent fibre defects and maintaining homogeneity along the length of the fibre, our micro-scale technique provides reliable modulus determination. This work opens avenues for improved understanding and application of natural and man-made fibres, such as glass and optical fibres, in a variety of fields.
The Effect of Sow Maternal Behavior on the Growth of Piglets and a Genome-Wide Association Study

Simple Summary Sows’ maternal behavior is important for piglet survival and growth. It is critical to explore their genetic mechanisms for better breeding. Comparative analysis showed that piglets’ growth traits were strongly associated with sows’ maternal behaviors. Through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for biting piglets (BP), crushing piglets (CP), trampling piglets (TP) and screaming test (ST) traits, several candidate genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found. These findings preliminarily elucidate the genetic basis of sows’ maternal behavior traits and provide markers for molecular breeding. Abstract Sows’ maternal behavior is important for improving piglet survival and growth; thus, breeding for good mothering sows is necessary for pig production. However, there is little research on the genetic mechanism of maternal behavior. In this study, a comparative analysis of piglets’ growth traits between good and bad maternal behavior groups and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to elucidate the impact of sows’ maternal behavior on piglet growth and identify candidate genes and markers of sow’s maternal behaviors. Comparing the growth traits of piglets between good and bad sows’ maternal behavior groups, the results showed that the growth traits of piglets from sows with good maternal behavior were better than those from sows with bad maternal behavior and especially for the multiparous sows group, this comparative difference was significant. For the intensive study of the genetic mechanisms of sows’ maternal behavior, a total of 452 sows were genotyped using the Illumina Porcine 50K SNP Chip, and 4 traits, including biting piglets (BP), crushing piglets (CP), trampling piglets (TP) and screaming test (ST), were examined. Using a GWAS, 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found to be associated with these traits. Within 1 Mb upstream and downstream of the significant SNPs screened, 138 genes were obtained. After pathway enrichment and gene annotation, HIP1, FZD9 and HTR7 were identified as important candidate genes affecting sows’ maternal behaviors. These findings preliminarily elucidate the genetic basis of sows’ maternal behavior traits and provide candidate genes and markers for molecular breeding in pigs.
Prediction in ungauged basins: a grand challenge for theoretical hydrology

Owing to the critical role of water in the Earth system—as global heat exchanger, climatic thermostat, land-forming agent, life-blood and lymphatic fluid (National Research Council, 1991)—the science of hydrology holds a unique and central place in the field of environmental Earth science, being intimately connected to the sister disciplines of meteorology, climatology, geomorphology, hydrogeology and ecology. As an applied science, hydrology is also highly relevant to day-to-day human experiences, focusing, as it does, on floods, droughts, drainage basins, material storages and fluxes, and effects of large-scale engineering projects such as streamflow modification, soil conservation, and channel modification (Dunne, 1998). Thus, hydrology should be an exciting field of study; instead, it appears to be fragmented, deeply rooted in empiricism, and struggling to realize its full potential. Why? Part of the explanation that is bandied about is the tension between the expectations of hydrology as a natural Earth science and as an applied engineering science, and the difficulties and inertia this imposes against efforts aimed at making significant scientific advances. There have been frequent calls in recent times for a new scientific theory to move the field of hydrology to a modern science rooted firmly in improved holistic understanding of how water interacts with the entire Earth system, reconciling these requirements with the societal expectations of hydrology as an applied science (Dunne, 1998). These have come about with the gradual recognition of the effects of multiscale heterogeneities encountered in hydrology, and of the clear need for an integrative, rather than piece-meal or fragmented, description of the Earth system, including the role of biota, for solving many contemporary environmental problems (Gupta, 2000). But what shape will a new theory take? How will we develop it? There is a lot of philosophizing, but, as yet, no clear answers. Perhaps focusing on a grand hydrological problem or on a question that draws heavily on new fundamental and theoretical advances in the natural and Earth sciences to benefit practical applications may be the best way to revitalize hydrology towards a modern and holistic science, since it will then be in a position to meet both its scientific and societal obligations. In this commentary I will argue that the new IAHS decadal initiative on ‘Predictions in Ungauged Basins’ (PUB) is an example of such a grand challenge, a
Measurements of Asian dust optical properties over the Yellow Sea of China by shipboard and ground‐based photometers, along with satellite remote sensing: A case study of the passage of a frontal system during April 2006

[1] Aerosol optical properties were measured by a POM-01 MarkII Sun and sky photometer onboard the Dongfanghong Number 2 Research Ship on the Yellow Sea of China during the passage of a cold front surrounded by airborne dust that originated in Mongolia between 21 and 24 April 2006. The aerosol size distributions in clean marine environment were dominated by an accumulate mode with radius of 0.15 μm and a coarse mode with radius of 4.5 μm. The mean aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Angstrom exponent were 0.26 and 1.26, respectively. In the frontal zone the aerosol size distribution was dominated by an accumulate mode with radius of 0.25 μm and two coarse modes with radii of 1.69 and 7.73 μm, and the AOD and Angstrom exponent were 2.46 and 0.84, respectively. In the nonfrontal dust conditions, the concentration of coarse modes with radii of 2.5 μm increased to a maximum of 0.3 μm3/μm2, and the mean AOD and Angstrom exponent were 0.70 and 0.30, respectively. Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) observations combined with shipboard measurements reveal the decreasing concentration of dust aerosol during its transport from continent to Japan. The spatial distribution of dust aerosol was studied using the Aqua/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Aura/Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) products. On 22 April, for frontal dust, their AOD and UV aerosol index (UVAI) increased with decreasing distance to the frontal line, peaked with values of 4.36 and 5.21 in the frontal zone, and decreased rapidly with increasing distance off the frontal line. On 23 April, nonfrontal dust showed the lower AOD and UVAI with peak values of 2.0 and 2.7, respectively.
On the Shoulders of Giants—Reaching for Nitrogenase

Only a single enzyme system—nitrogenase—carries out the conversion of atmospheric N2 into bioavailable ammonium, an essential prerequisite for all organismic life. The reduction of this inert substrate at ambient conditions poses unique catalytic challenges that strain our mechanistic understanding even after decades of intense research. Structural biology has added its part to this greater tapestry, and in this review, I provide a personal (and highly biased) summary of the parts of the story to which I had the privilege to contribute. It focuses on the crystallographic analysis of the three isoforms of nitrogenases at high resolution and the binding of ligands and inhibitors to the active-site cofactors of the enzyme. In conjunction with the wealth of available biochemical, biophysical, and spectroscopic data on the protein, this has led us to a mechanistic hypothesis based on an elementary mechanism of repetitive hydride formation and insertion.

Land bridge formation and proboscidean immigration into the Japanese Islands during the Quaternary

Two land bridge stages are inferred between the mainland of Japan and the adjacent continent during the past one million years, on the basis of the detailed stratigraphy of the Quaternary sequence in the mainland, its accurate correlation with the marine isotope stages (MIS) and with the ODP cores in Japan Sea, and the proboscidean biostratigraphy in the sequence, The two land bridge stages are placed at MIS 16 and MIS 12, which are indicated by the immigration of the proboscidean species from the continent, Stegodon orientalis and Palaeoloxodon naumanni respectively. An additional land bridge stage at MIS 36 is also suggested by the immigration of Mammuthus trogontherii.
Hydrology needed to manage droughts: the 2015 European case

It is generally accepted that drought is one of the most costly weather-related natural hazards. In 2015, a long-lasting drought hit Europe, particularly affecting central and eastern Europe. In some regions it was the driest (North Slovakia) and in others (Czech Republic and Poland) it was the second driest summer of the last 50 years (following 2003). Key questions are: (i) how extreme are these events, not only in terms of hydro-meteorological characteristics but also impacts? and (ii) how are these impacts managed?
