Dampak Integrasi Tanaman Kopi dengan Budidaya Lebah terhadap Peningkatan Pendapatan dan Produksi Biji Kopi di Kabupaten Simalungun, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia
Authors: Saprina Saprina , Chalil Diana , Negara Satia
Published: December 2022

Luas perkebunan kopi di Kabupaten Simalungun yang masih minim dari luas optimalnya menjadi kendala petani untuk menghasilkan produksi kopi yang saat ini rendah dibandingkan dengan produksi optimum kopi arabika Simalungun. Salah satu alternatif untuk meningkatkan produksi kopi yaitu melakukan integrasi tanaman kopi dengan lebah. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis perbedaan produksi dan pendapatan sebelum dan sesudah integrasi, serta komponen integrasi dan dampaknya terhadap pendapatan usahatani kopi dan budidaya lebah. Metode analisis yaitu analisis deskriptif dan uji paired sample t test menggunakan SPSS. Penelitian dilakukan Desember 2020 - Desember 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan produksi dan pendapatan kopi berbeda signifikan sebelum dengan sesudah integrasi. Komponen integrasi budidaya lebah yaitu sengat lebah sebagai predator pengendalian hama kopi, bulu kaki lebah sebagai polinator penyerbukan bunga kopi. Komponen integrasi lebah mampu meningkatkan produksi kopi dari berkurangnya hama, sementara biaya berkurang dari menurunnya input pestisida dan tenaga kerja sehingga berdampak terhadap meningkatnya pendapatan kopi. Komponen integrasi usahatani kopi yaitu nektar bunga kopi dan bunga tanaman pelindung sebagai pakan lebah telah menghasilkan madu multiflora, madu kaliandra dan madu kopi. Budidaya lebah di kebun kopi dapat mengurangi biaya input pakan luar dan biaya sewa lahan budidaya lebah. Berkurangnya biaya serta adanya sumbangan penerimaan madu berdampak terhadap meningkatnya total pendapatan petani integrasi. Penghambat integrasi yaitu keterbatasan modal membeli kotak lebah, kurangnya respon petani, ketersediaan pakan lebah tidak kontinu, gangguan hama serta pencurian kotak lebah, sedangkan pendukung integrasi yaitu pasar kopi dan madu luas, adanya bantuan kotak lebah dan harga madu mahal.

Ecofeminism during Pandemic: A Study of Amitav Ghosh’s Sundarbans Trilogy
Authors: Ferdous Mafruha
Published: December 2022

As a distinguished novelist and an eminent anthropologist, Amitav Ghosh exhibits his deepest concern about the inability of the present generation to deal with the crisis of climate change in literature. In The Great Derangement, he forecasts the looming disaster that may arise from such carelessness. His Sundarbans trilogy (The Hungry Tide, Jungle Nama, Gun Island) surpasses all his previous works as he combines his personal voice with a factual and accurate description of the mangrove forest. In his novels, he notes that the emission of carbon dioxide, discharge of dangerous levels of methane, greenhouses gases by some developed countries, and the resulting rise of sea levels increase the frequency of natural disasters that jeopardize the natural phenomenon of the Sundarbans-the biggest mangrove forest of the world. Thus, Ghosh’s novels are intended to play a significant role in raising South Asian consciousness about climate change at a time when the pandemic becomes a life-threatening issue for the whole region. In Gun Island, Ghosh forebodes scarcity and pandemics due to ecological disruption that may result in migration in the both natural and human worlds. The Covid-19 pandemic is but one of the most recent disasters to ravage the entire world. As a South Asian writer, Ghosh also highlights the doubly threatened situation of women in this region that arises from natural calamities. The pandemic has made us worried about the repression of nature and women in particular. Thus ecofeminism, a practical movement for social change arising out of the struggle of women, is a thriving branch of academic research now. The joint oppression of women and nature is not a natural connection but a constructed connection that has been created by patriarchy as a means of oppression. In this paper I will show how an appreciation of the connection between women and the natural world and an understanding of ecofeminism that advocates their liberation during the pandemic period can enhance strategies of action for change. The trilogy tends to reveal the light of his seminal work The Great Derangement and his published interviews as well as his nonfictional works.
The Concept and Characteristics of Classical, Renaissance and Modern Tragedies
Authors: Chidi-Igbokwe MaryIsabella Ada
Published: December 2022

Greek tragedy developed from rituals associated with the god Dionysus and remained religiously oriented throughout history. The tragedies were therefore, dramatic recreations of myths about conflict between generations as represented by gods and heroes. The characters of tragedy wore their mythical and legendary origins- except when Euripides stripped them of their glory and they retained the stature of historical figures from the heroic age. Thus, the tragic ideas of the playwrights include a conception of tragedy based on the religious views of the time period. Renaissance brought a secularization of the arts, literature and theatre. There was absolutely no connection between theatre and religion. It also brought the individualization of the human being as distinct from society in general. In Renaissance tragedy therefore, the entire emphasis is laid upon human action independent of destiny and the responsibility of the individual in bringing about his ruin. In keeping with Renaissance emphasis upon the infinite capacities of the individual, the Elizabethan tragedies particularly Shakespeare’s explore the limits of man’s action in this universe. Modern implies more than that which is current. It suggests a disinterest in the past and in the values and forms of that past. With the emergence of Ibsen in the late Nineteenth Century came the concept of middle class tragedy growing out of social problems and issues. The little man has gradually taken the place that the illustrious man presided over for many centuries. This paper examines the relationship between the concept and the characteristics of tragedy in the classical, Renaissance and the modern periods. The historical research methodology is employed to dissect the diversity of the tragic conception and characteristics of tragedy in the periods under study. It is established that the tragic conception and characteristics from the time of the Greeks to the present has undergone a metamorphosis in definitions and experience.
Friendship and Identity: A Study of Relationship between Nel and Sula in Toni Morrison’s Sula
Authors: Shovon Ashfaque Ahmad
Published: December 2022

Toni Morrison’s Sula is a study of racism, segregation, feminism, identity seeking, protest and reaction. A novel primarily focusing on female characters as the protagonist, it is also a story of friendship between two characters from unprivileged backgrounds starting from the formative years of their lives. Nel and Sula are quite the opposite in characteristics but share mutual affection and dependency in a racist, patriarchal society where they are neither ‘white nor male’. They take care of each other and help each other in their own ways, and thus their friendship becomes the source of their empowerment and marks their presence in the world in the early stages of their lives. They get separated because of their contrasting ideologies, lifestyles and interests, but they are indeed the ‘other self’ of each other and complement each other to create their own identities.

Authors: Khan Adil , Khan Abdullah , Yousaf Muhammad
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVES:

The present study was designed to assess the comparison of frequency of acute hypertension with sevoflurane and propofol during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in normotensive patients in general operation theater (OT).

METHODOLOGY:

This was a four months duration cross-sectional study during which a total of 110 patients of both the genders were recruited. The patients were divided into two groups i.e. group A receiving propofol consisted of 30 male and 25 female patients and group B receiving sevoflurane also consisted of 30 male and 25 female patients. Blood pressure (BP) was recorded four times as pre-induction values, T1 (1 minute after laryngoscopy), T2 (3 minutes after laryngoscopy) and T3 (5 minutes after laryngoscopy).

RESULTS:

Pre-induction systolic blood pressure (SBP) was normal in both the groups. The SBP in both the groups A and B were acutely increased in T1 while it decreased in T2 and became normal in T3 in both the groups. Pre-induction diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was normal in both the groups. The DBP was acutely increased in T1, decreased in T2 and became normal in T3 in both the groups.

CONCLUSION:

These results show that both the drugs sevoflurane and propofol can cause severe hypertension soon after laryngoscopy and caution should be taken during laryngoscopy/ endotracheal intubation.

Revival of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Southern Districts of KP Pakistan
Authors: Rehman Inayat ur
Published: December 2022

A neglected tropical disease “Leishmaniasis” is still a threat to people residing in the southern districts of KP. The protozoan parasite of the genus Leishmania is the causative agent which is transmitted by female sand fly. Sand flies become infected by sucking blood from an infected animal or person. People might not realize that sand flies are present because of smaller size, noiseless and painless bite. Sand flies usually are most active in twilight, evening, and night-time hours (from dusk to dawn). 

There are three main forms of Leishmaniasis; cutaneous Leishmaniasis, visceral Leishmaniasis and mucosal Leishmaniasis. Of these, cutaneous Leishmaniasis is the most common form. It affects the skin and mucous membranes. Clinical manifestations range from skin sores to systemic multiorgan disease. Cutaneous symptoms may appear a few weeks after being bitten by an infected sand fly. However, sometimes symptoms won't appear for months or years. The sores can change in size and appearance over time. The sores may start out as papules (bumps) or nodules (lumps) and may end up as ulcers (like a volcano, with a raised edge and central crater); skin ulcers might be covered by scab or crust.  Tissue specimens [skin sores] can be examined for the parasite under a microscope, in special cultures, and by molecular tests.

The lack of information and facilities about the disease [diagnosis/treatment] lead to the spread of infection at an alarming rate in this region. Huge migration of people from boarder areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan due to terrorism and economic conditions contributed a lot to the spread of infection. According to recent reports, the prevalence of the disease is much higher in these areas compared to it prevalence in district Peshawar. This high prevalence is attributed to the close relationship of peoples with animals, frequent utilization of animal dungs and contaminated woods as a fuel and no use of disinfectants. The lack of a commercially available vaccines, the lack of access to therapy and limited local resources are among the main contributing factors for the spread of infection.

Public health activities including knowledge of infection and methods of control [limiting close contact with animals, wearing of full sleeves shirt & use of bed nets] can play a substantial role in controlling the spread of the disease. In general, prevention and control measures must be tailored to the local setting. Control measures against sand fly vectors or animal reservoir hosts might be an effective tool.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of this study was to isolate bacteria from human nails of public of Peshawar and perform antibiogram analysis of isolated bacterial species.

METHODOLOGY

For this study, a total of 25 samples were collected from nails of students of Abasyn University, Peshawar. These samples were cultured on Nutrient agar, Eosin Methyl Blue dye agar and Mannitol Salt agar and were identified by Catalase, Oxidase, Triple Sugar Iron, Citrate, and Indole tests.

RESULTS

It was found that 60% of collected hand samples were contaminated with 47% Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and 53% Escherichia coli (E. coli). Antibiogram analysis showed that the most potent antibiotic for E. coli and S. aureus was Ciprofloxacin (22mm and 26mm respectively) while less effective antibiotic was Cefixime having zone of inhibitions 13mm for E. coli and 10mm for S. aureus.

CONCLUSION

The results concluded that mostly the human nails are contaminated due to environmental factors and thus, require good hygienic practices to prevent different transmission of different infection.

Authors: Haya Taukeer , Qayyum Naila , Mustajab Tamanna
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVES

This study aimed to gain an insight into all those factors that facilitate and prevent patients from seeking dental treatments on time.

METHODOLOGY

A structured closed-ended questionnaire was filled with detailed information obtained from 215 female patients who visited the dental out-patient department with different dental ailments and was analyzed using SPSS Version 22. Also, the post-stratification chi-square test was applied to check the significance of all the comparative statistics. P-value <0.05 or = to 0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS

A total of 215 females of age ranged from 20 to 60 years, with the largest group of respondents aged between 20 to 25 years (42%), 40 and above (38%). The most common reasons for not seeking dental treatments were, fear of pain (51%), the disease was not severe (46.9%), Fear of infectious disease (37.8%), high dental costs (28.6%), non-availability of female dentists (26.5%), economic issues (21.4%), lengthy appointments (20.4%), cost of transportation (15.3%).

CONCLUSION

Our results concluded that only a small portion of females visited a dentist when the symptoms first appeared. There was a misconception that dental disease could be cured with over-the-counter medications also enough services, professional staff and a hygienic environment are not provided at the hospital and private treatments are charged more, which prevents them from visiting Dental health facilities. Hence dental awareness programs are required to be implemented and Government is required to fulfil these unmet basic facilities.

Authors: Karim Abdul , Waqas Muhammad
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVES:

This study aims to find the efficacy of stored whole blood for a period of 49 days and to delineate the changes that occur in Haemoglobin (HB), Red Blood Cell (RBC) and White Blood Cell (WBC) indices and Platelet count.

METHODOLOGY:

The study was carried out at District Headquarter (DHQ) Hospital, District Hangu in collaboration with the blood bank unit. 450 ml of blood was drawn from 10 healthy volunteer donors into an anticoagulant blood bag (CPDA-1) (63 mL). Blood bags were carefully stored in a quarantine shelf of the blood bank at 02-08°C. Samples were collected and tested for various haematological parameters (haemoglobin, RBC count, WBC count, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, platelets count) at days 01 and 49 respectively on (ADVIA 360 haematology analyser).

RESULTS:

Statistically significant changes were observed in WBC count, Lymphocyte count and platelets count and gradual changes in mean corpuscular volume. While statistically non-significant changes were observed in other parameters (RBC, haemoglobin, haematocrit, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration).

 

CONCLUSION:

 

Haemolysis of the red cells that occurs during component processing and storage of red cell units has serious clinical implications for the blood recipient patients. Detecting excessive haemolysis important to minimize transfusion of bacterially contaminated blood units. Rapid degeneration of leukocytes could lead to immunomodulation related to blood transfusion. Whole blood should be leuko-depleted before storage if it must be used beyond one week.

Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine: A Solution to Protect from Typhoid Fever
Authors: Rehman Inayat Ur
Published: December 2022

Typhoid fever results from enteric infections caused by salmonella typhi, which is a gram-negative, rod-shaped flagellated bacteria. Humans are the only host for salmonella typhi thereby causing typhoid fever, which is a progressively rising, life-threatening fever with a cluster of clinical symptoms. It mostly occurs in low resource communities leading to severe illness and dissemination via poor hygienic conditions like contaminated food and water, person to person contact and poor sanitation. The Southeast Asian countries are more frequently affected by typhoid and are more common in children. The year 2016 outbreak in the province Sindh of Pakistan affected more than 12000 people in which more than 70% of all typhoid related deaths were reported in children less than 15 years of age1. Recent data indicates that around 21 million people develop typhoid annually with 161,000 cases ending in fatality2. The peoples of Pakistan particularly those residing in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab are at high risk of developing typhoid out of all 16 Asian countries where the disease is prevalent. The circulating strain of extensive drug-resistant Salmonella typhi in Pakistan is the H58 haplotype, which is a multidrug resistant strain3. An outbreak of extensive drug-resistant strain first reported in the province Sindh and then in the province Punjab and the federal capital Islamabad affected more than 12000 people but the introduction of typhoid conjugate vaccine into the routine immunization program in these areas greatly reduced the extensive drug-resistant cases4. The governments of KPK and Balochistan have also decided to include the conjugate anti-typhoid vaccine in the EPI program from the year 2022. However, the campaign will cover the big cities only in the initial phases. The success of efforts to curtain outbreaks rests on the consistent quality of campaigns and immunization service delivery to both urban and rural areas. Moreover, proper storage facilities for vaccines and comprehensive plans for the training of EPI staff are equally important for effective immunization. Practical recommendations to curtain the local outbreak include adequate sanitation measures and widespread immunization by the government. Starting an awareness program about XDR typhoid and the significance of good hygiene habits are the need of the day.

Kondisi geografis Desa Karangkemiri membuat tanah warga yang berada di Daerah Aliran Sungai(DAS) Serayu terancam hilang karena proses ablasi, sementara itu peluang terjadinya proses sedimentasisangat kecil bahkan bisa dikatakan tidak mungkin. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui alasan warga desaKarangkemiri menjadi patuh membayar pajak atas tanahnya yang hilang akibat ablasi sungai Serayu danalasan warga Desa Karangkemiri memiliki harapan bahwa tanahnya yang hilang karena ablasi bisa kembalilagi menjadi miliknya. Pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan wawancara dengan warga danperangkat Desa Karangkemiri Kecamatan Maos Kabupaten Cilacap. Analisis data menggunakan analisisdeskriptif dengan reduksi dan interpretasi. SPPT memang bukan bukti kepemilikan tanah, namun perubahanluas tanah yang menjadi obyek pajak hanya akan terjadi bila terdapat pengajuan penghapusan atas hak milikatas tanah. Oleh karena itu warga Desa Karangkemiri tetap patuh membayar PBB atas tanahnya yang hilangdengan harapan bila tanah tersebut muncul kembali tetap berstatus menjadi miliknya. Namun bila tanahtersebut muncul kembali setelah penghapusan statusnya dari obyek pajak dalam SPPT menyebabkan statustanahnya menjadi tanah tidak bertuan dan dimiliki oleh Negara. Harapan warga Karangkemiri terhadapkembalinya tanah yang hilang berargumen dengan kejadian serupa di Desa Karangrena dan prosessedimentasi perairan antara tanah Platar atau Nusa di Desa Kesugihan Kidul. Untuk mempercepat proseskembalinya tanah yang hilang, warga menanami bantaran sungai dengan pohon waru dan bambu sertamemasang patok-patok agar lumpur, pasir dan sampah yang terbawa arus Sungai Serayu bisa terkumpul danmembentuk daratan baru sebagai penjelmaan tanahnya yang hilang.
