Keragaman Penggunaan Varietas Unggul Baru (VUB) Padi (Oryza sativa) sebagai Sumber Benih di Kalimantan Timur
Authors: Sri Maulidah Noor
Published: June 2024

Padi (Oryza sativa) merupakan bahan makanan pokok penduduk Indonesia. Benih sebagai bagian faktor penentu dalam menghasilkan produksi yang bermutu. Kalimantan Timur tahun 2021 ketersediaan benih padi hasil produksi penangkar domestik hanya bisa memenuhi 49,13% dari total kebutuhan benih untuk luas pertanaman 66.887,25 Ha. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat penyebaran keragaman varietas padi yang dikembangkan sebagai sumber benih di Kalimantan Timur. Hasil ini bisa menjadi dasar penentuan kebijakan dalam menyusun rencana pengembangan komoditas padi berbasis spesifik lokasi dan metode yang tepat dalam memberdayakan produsen/penangkar benih local melalui kegiatan ekatalog local atau penunjukan langsung yang harapannya mampu menyerap benih yang tersedia diprodusen/penangkar lokal (In Situ). Kajian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari – April 2022 di 7 Kabupaten/Kota lokasi pengembangan sentra benih tanaman pangan dalam kurun waktu 2019-2021 dengan metode pengumpulan data melalui analisa deskritif kuantitatif pada 21 kelompok penangkar benih. Dari hasil survei menunjukkan perkembangan industri perbenihan di Kalimantan Timur kurun waktu 2019 – 2021 mengalami kenaikan secara luasan mencapai 198% namun berbanding terbalik dengan penurunan jumlah keragaman varietas mencapai 57% atau hanya 16 Varietas padi yang dikembangkan dibanding tahun 2020 dengan jumlah varietas mencapai 28 jenis. Tahun 2021 pengembangan sentra benih mengalami kenaikan luasan > 110% dari luasan tahun 2020 yaitu mencapai 762,35 ha. Sayangnya kenaikan luasan lahan tidak diimbangi dengan keragaman varietas unggul baru, tercatat pada tahun 2021 varietas yang berkembang hanya 16 varietas saja. Varietas Mekongga masih mendominasi seluas 452,35 ha (59,29%) namun dalam penyerapan benih dalam kegiatan bantuan benih hanya berjumlah 473,05 ton. Atau separuh dari jumlah produksi benih yang dihasilkan penangkar, keadaan ini mengakibatkan keengganan petani untuk maksimal dalam melakukan produksi benih. Sehingga produsen/penangkar benih hanya mengembangkan varietas yang dijadikan sebagai bantuan benih dan sulitnya regulasi penangkar benih untuk berperan dalam kegiatan pengadaan bantuan benih.

Authors: Artuç Taha , Çelebi Ahmet Kemal
Published: June 2024

Mali olayların sosyolojik açıdan ele alınmasını ifade eden mali sosyoloji, mali olayların toplumsal etkilerini ortaya koymaktadır. Mali sosyoloji ile oluşturulan bakış açısı, bir yandan mali olayların sonuçlarını anlamada yardımcı olurken diğer yandan toplumun bu olaylar karşısındaki tutum ve davranışlarını ortaya çıkarmada önemli görevler üstlenmektedir. Bu anlamda Cumhuriyet döneminde gerçekleşen mali olayların incelenmesi, bu döneme ait sosyolojik çıkarımlar yapmada önemli bir rol oynayacaktır. Cumhuriyet’in kuruluşu ile başlayan süreçten Demokrat Parti’nin iktidara geldiği yıla kadar olan dönemin incelendiği bu çalışmada, halkı önemli derecede etkileyen mali olaylar ele alınmıştır. Aşar Vergisi’nin kaldırılması ile başlayan ve Çiftçiyi Topraklandırma Kanunu’nun yürürlüğe konulması ile biten dönem içerisinde pek çok vergi ihdas edilmiş/kaldırılmış, politika değişiklilerine gidilmiş, kanunlar çıkartılarak yeni bir düzene geçilme çabası sarf edilmiştir. Çalışma, 1923-1938 ile 1938-1950 yılları arasında iki ayrı dönem içinde gerçekleşen önemli mali olayları kapsamakla birlikte çalışmanın temel amacı; Türkiye’de 1923-1950 döneminde gerçekleşen mali olayların sosyolojik etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma, ele alınan dönem içerisindeki toplumsal yapının mali olaylar neticesinde nasıl değişime uğradığının ve mali olayların toplumsal ilişkilere ne denli tesir ettiğinin ortaya çıkarılması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Zira çalışma, 1923-1950 dönemi içerisinde gerçekleşen mali olayların, büyük toplumsal dönüşüme doğrudan etki ettiğini ortaya koymakta ve uygulanan mali politikaların toplumsal açıdan arzulanan olumlu etkiyi gösteremediği sonucuna ulaşmaktadır.

Experiences of Adult Play
Authors: Blanche Erna I. , Chang Megan C. , Parham L. Diane
Published: June 2024

Importance: Play has been viewed as a critical occupation supporting health since the founding of occupational therapy, but the complexity of play presents challenges to scholars who study adults. Researchers in occupational science and occupational therapy often address experiential qualities of occupations, including those considered to be play. However, the literature lacks clear descriptions of what constitutes adult play as well as the experiences of adults during preferred activities.

Objective: To contribute to the body of knowledge on the wide range of preferred activities adults in the United States pursue and may perceive as play experiences. We refer to these activities as adult play because they contain experiential qualities of play described in key play literature.

Design: Cross-sectional survey study.

Setting: A 31-item survey, the Daily Occupational Experience Survey–revised (DOESr), was uploaded to Qualtrics for data collection using snowball sampling. The online survey link was distributed to participants aged 18–64 years.

Participants: The survey was completed by 491 participants. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract the most prevalent patterns of play experiences reported. Internal consistency and content validity were also examined.

Results: The factor analysis yielded an optimal solution of five factors representing distinct patterns of adult play experiences: Creativity–Adventure, Restoration, Deep Engagement, Ludos, and Mastery.

Conclusions and Relevance: The five factors identified by the DOESr represent distinct patterns of adult play experiences. The DOESr demonstrated acceptable internal consistency for three of the five factors as well as for the overall tool.

Plain-Language Summary: Previous research on adult occupations has not addressed the array of experiences that adults seek or enjoy while engaging in play. This study identified five patterns of adult play experiences. Understanding these patterns may assist occupational therapy practitioners when tailoring clients’ play experiences to promote optimal health and well-being.

Published: June 2024

Importance: There is a need for a pediatric hand function test that can be used to objectively assess movement quality. We have developed a toy-based test, the Bead Maze Hand Function (BMHF) test, to quantify how well a child performs an activity. This is achieved by assessing the control of forces applied while drawing a bead over wires of different complexity.

Objective: To study the psychometric properties of the BMHF test and understand the influence of age and task complexity on test measures.

Design: A cross-sectional, observational study performed in a single visit.

Setting: Clinical research laboratory.

Participants: Twenty-three participants (ages 4–15 yr) were recruited locally. They were typically developing children with no illness or conditions that affected their movement.

Interventions/Assessments: Participants performed the BMHF test and the Box and Block test with both hands.

Outcomes and Measures: Total force and completion time were examined according to age and task complexity using a linear mixed-effects model. We calculated intraclass correlation coefficients to measure interrater reliability of the method and estimated concurrent validity using the Box and Block test.

Results: Total force and completion time decreased with age and depended on task complexity. The total force was more sensitive to task complexity. The Box and Block score was associated with BMHF completion time but not with total force. We found excellent interrater reliability.

Conclusions and Relevance: A familiar toy equipped with hidden sensors provides a sensitive tool to assess a child’s typical hand function.

Plain-Language Summary: We developed the Bead Maze Hand Function (BMHF) test to determine how well a child performs an activity with their hands. The BMHF test is a toy equipped with hidden sensors. Twenty-three typically developing children with no illnesses or conditions that affected their hand movement participated in the study. We asked the children to perform the BMHF test with both hands. Our study found that occupational therapists can reliably use the BMHF test to assess a child’s hand function.

The correlation between Candida colonization index and risk factors of invasive candidiasis among patient in intensive care unit
Authors: Tiyakusuma Evira , Noorhamdani AS  , Ruliatna Etty Fitria
Published: June 2024

Background: Invasive candidiasis is frequently found among patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU) due to immunocompromised state and performed the invasive procedure. To simplify invasive candidiasis screening, the Candida colonization index (CCI) was performed on the patients. But the implication of the CCI towards the risk factors of invasive candidiasis has never been evaluated before. Hence this study aims to evaluate the correlation between the CCI and invasive candidiasis risk factors and antifungal therapy.
Methods: During this study, CCI was collected from routine clinical culture results of the ICU patients while information regarding risk factors was obtained from routine follow-ups conducted on patients in the ICU. This study showed a significant correlation between the CCI, and several risk factors of invasive candidiasis, such as sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, number of invasive medical instruments, and Candida score.
Results: These results support the hypothesis that proposes a certain correlation between CCI and risk factors of invasive candidiasis. There is also a significant correlation between antifungal therapy and the prevalence of Candida non-albicans colonization.
Conclusion: This study also supports the hypothesis that proposes shifting in the distribution of Candida species causing invasive candidiasis from Candida albicans to Candida non-albicans due to misappropriate use of antifungal therapy.
Rickettsia as an agent of neglected Rickettsia infection
Authors: Tjampakasari Conny Riana , Kiranasari Ariyani , Abas Ghina Mutiara
Published: June 2024

Rickettsia is an obligate parasite of certain arthropods (especially ticks, mites, and ticks) and can cause serious diseases. OmpA dan OmpB is a surface protein that facilitates Rickettsia’s fast attachment and entry into the endothelium. Clinical symptoms are usually characterized by self-limited acute fever in both humans and other animals. Diseases caused by Rickettsia are endemic in almost all around the world, including Indonesia. Rickettsia diseases include epidemic typhus, murine typhus, scrub typhus, and spotted fever. Culture, nucleic acid amplification, and serological tests can be used as diagnostic examinations. The serological test is the gold standard of Rickettsial diagnostic, even though molecular tests have been developed. Diagnostic limitations mean that rickettsiosis is often overlooked as a cause of infection. Rickettsia eradication was carried out by giving tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and rifampin. Vaccines are not yet available so prevention and appropriate use of antibiotics based on the diagnostic examination will determine the success of eradication.
