(Pengaruh Usia dan Pendidikan terhadap Pola Konsumsi Kue Tradisional di Banda Aceh) ABSTRACT. Traditional finger foods are closely related to the culture and habits of the population where the foods are produced and carry a symbolic value. The perception of local citizens towards the consumption of traditional foods will affect the existence and integrity of these foods. Primary research was done by interviewing 263 consumers of traditional finger food in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, between April and May 2011. Demography factors are believed to have strong influence in the consumption pattern of traditional finger food in Banda Aceh. The interviews were performed by using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of dichotomous, multiple-choice questions and scale questions. The sampling technique which was used is a nonprobability with convenience approach in order to select consumers of traditional food. The data analysis was processed by descriptive and bivariate analysis using Chi-square distribution. The results showed that demographic factors, such as age and education, have a correlation with consumer behavior and consumption habits of traditional finger foods. As a side dish, the consumption of these foods is usually related to special occasions and leisure time. Although most of the consumers are satisfied with the traditional finger foods they consume, some improvements are still needed to enhance the quality and appearance of the products based on the respondents demand. These demands, such as improvement in taste and packaging are potential factors in supporting the increase of consumption of traditional finger food in Banda Aceh.

Motion around the Triangular Equilibrium Points in the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem under Triaxial Luminous Primaries with Poynting-Robertson Drag
Authors: Singh Jagadish , Simeon Ayas Mungu
Published: September 2017

This paper explores the motion of an infinitesimal body around the triangular equilibrium points in the framework of circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) with the postulation that the primaries are triaxial rigid bodies, radiating in nature and are also under the influence of Poynting–Robertson (P-R) drag. We study the linear stability of these triangular points and for the numerical application, the binary stars Kruger 60 (AB) and Archird have been considered. These triangular points are not only perceived to move towards the line joining the primaries in the direction of the bigger primary with increasing triaxiality, they are also unstable owing to the destabilizing influence of P-R drag.

Published: September 2017

Background: Normally the age of the arteries is same as that of the chronological age of the patient. In Hypertensive patients, complex interactions occur between prohypertensive factors, accelerating vascular age. Furthermore, prohypertensive factors to some extent are responsible for non-response to therapy at optimal doses. We assessed the correlation between response to therapy and vascular age in elderly hypertensives, in addition to vascular age and vascular response.Methods: In this study, we analysed the clinical records of both male and female hypertensive patients above 60 years old. We collected the details of age, gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure (treated and untreated), diabetes and smoking. Vascular age was calculated using a composite score of these six prohypertensive risk factors. Accelerated vascular age was then derived using the formula vascular age minus chronological age. The optimal vascular response was considered if the patient's therapeutic blood pressures are less than 140/ 90mmHg.Results: In the present study, data from 517 elderly hypertensive patients were analysed, the mean chronological age, vascular age and accelerated vascular age was 66.74±6.6, 79.46±0.42 and 13.46±6.08 years. Only 32.7% were responders to anti-hypertensive treatment. The pattern of usage of anti-hypertensives in our patients is CCBs 39.10% followed by 30.90% ARB, 22.50% ACEI and 8.90% diuretics. The response in 20.50% of patients was achieved with a single drug, in 9.90% with two drugs and only in 2.30% of patients using three drugs. We found that 78.72% of our study population had vascular age more than ten years of chronological age, among them 66.6% between 60-69 years of chronological age were non-responders. We found a significant correlation (P<0.05) between vascular age and non-response to treatment.Conclusions: The majority (98.6%) of our patients had vascular age more than 80 years due to various risk factors of cardio vascular disease. Non-responsiveness to therapy showed a significant relationship with vascular age.
Epidural abscess assessment and management
Authors: Ali Shahnila
Published: September 2017

Epidural abscess is a medical emergency. Abscesses can expand to compress the brain or spinal cord and cause severe symptoms, perma-nent neurological deficits, or even death. Most spinal epidural abscesses begin as focal pyogenic infection involving the vertebral disc or junction between the disc and the vertebral body and as inflammation pro-gresses, abscess may extend longitudinally in the epidural space, and damage to the spinal cord can happen. Symptoms on presentation may include fever, malaise, back pain, motor weakness, sensory changes, bladder or bowel dysfunction, or paralysis. Most important diagnostic test is MRI because it is positive early in the course of the infection and pro-vides the best visualization of the location and extent of inflammatory changes. MRI with contrast should be performed as soon as possible. Treatment is both medical and surgical. Empirical antibiotic regimen can be vancomycin, metronidazole and third generation cephalosporin or vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam among other combinations. Fur-ther guidance by infectious work up. After diagnosis, neurosurgery con-sultation is taken immediately for surgical evaluation and management.

In this study, we analyzed high-fat diet (HFD)-induced time-course changes in proportions of T lymphocyte subsets in adipose tissue.Mice were fed with normal-fat diet (NFD) or HFD for 20 weeks. An autoanalyzer was used to assay plasma concentrations of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Stromal vascular cells were isolated from epididymal adipose tissues and labeled with antibodies for cluster of differentiation (CD) 3, CD4, CD8, interferon -g, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-17 for fluorescence-activated cell sorter. We discovered that weight of epididymal fat pads and perirenal fat in HFD group were higher than that in NFD group. Significant changes in glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and HDL content were detected in sera of mice fed with HFD compared with those provided with NFD. Proportions of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells increased significantly in adipose tissues of HFD mice compared with those of NFD mice. Proportions of T helper (Th)1 and Th17 sublineages also increased significantly in HFD group. Long-time HFD-induced obesity can increase proportions of CD3+ T, CD4+ T, and CD8+ T cells in epididymal fat pads, disrupt balance of CD4+ T lymphocyte subsets, and induce progressive Th1 and Th17 biases.

A study was undertaken to evaluate the economics of feeding protected protein and protected fat in crossbred cows. The feeding trial of 4 months duration was conducted on 24 crossbred cattle which were subjected to treatment T0 (Control), T1 (Protected- protein), T2 ( Protected fat) and T3 (Protected protein and fat). Crossbred cows in second to fourth lactation with most probable production ability (MPPA) of average 2300 liter milk production per lactation for each group were selected. All animals were fed with 2/3 DM through roughages (2/3 from dry and 1/3 from green) + 1/3 DM from concentrate mixture. In T0 and T2 groups untreated groundnut cake was given in ration. Whereas, in T1 and T3 groups, groundnut cake was treated with formaldehyde (FA) (@ 1.0 gm FA /100g CP). Also bypass fat (99%) was supplemented in T2 and T3 groups @ 10 gm per liter milk production. Daily DM intake and daily milk yield for individual animals were recorded. The data generated during experimental period were analyzed by Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with SAS, 9.3 versions.The DMI was significantly (P>0.05) higher in T3 (12.72) followed by T1 (12.59), T0 (12.47) and T2 (12.23). However, the DMI/ 100 kg body weight was 3.05, 3.01, 3.13 and 2.81 kg/d in T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively with non significant treatment. The average milk production during supplementation period was 9.82, 11.76, 11.41 and 12.43 kg/d in group T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively which was significantly 16.49% higher in T1, 13.93% higher in T2 and 20.99% in T3 over T0. The net return over feed cost was highest in T3 group followed by T1 and T2 over T0.

Published: September 2017

A study was undertaken to evaluate the seasonal influence on performance of Vanaraja (n=3924) and Gramapriya (n=2227) maintained in five different batches during 2011-14. Better growth was observed in summer during brooding. At brooding, mortality was significantly higher during winter in Vanaraja and during summer in Gramapriya. The egg production was higher when birds started laying in winter than in summer. The overall Hen Day Egg Production (HDEP) was higher in Vanaraja (p>0.01) than the Gramapriya. The fertility level varied between 68 to 90% in both varieties. The hatchability percentage on fertile egg set (FES) varied within the range of 70 to 90. It was concluded that better egg production performance could be obtained from Vanaraja birds, raised in summer and those initiated laying in winter. Therefore, the seasonal factors should be taken care of while raising parent line to achieve optimum production.

Published: September 2017

The present experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of exposure of musical sound signals of 100 and 150 beats per minute (BPM) and intensity below 85 dB, on plasma concentration of cortisol and testosterone hormones of Hariana bulls maintained at semen biology lab within the premises of Instructional Livestock Farm Complex (ILFC).The present experiment was carried out for a time period of three and half months (within autumn season) and was accomplished in three phases/conditions. To avoid individual effect of bulls, the same three Hariana bulls were used as experimental animals in all the three phases / conditions. During the first (control) phase of experiment, the bulls were not exposed to any additional source of sound except the normal environmental sound of semen collection site. In second and third phase, bulls were exposed to a musical instrumental sound signal of 100 and 150 BPM with intensity below 85 dB. All the three phases last for a period of one month (four weeks) one after other in continuation, but the third phase was started after a gap of three weeks from the second in order to nullify the persistent effect of sound exposure to bulls during second phase of investigation. The mean values of cortisol and testosterone of Hariana bulls at no exposure, sound signal of 100 and 150 BPM were 35.30±1.82, 37.71±1.82 and 34.87±1.82; and 2.54±0.09, 2.49±0.09 and 2.72±0.09, respectively. In the present study it was observed that the trend of a non significant increase in plasma concentration of testosterone and a non significant decrease in plasma concentration of cortisol as a consequence of this exposure indicated that exposure of a sound signal of 150 BPM with intensity below 85 dB, caused a favorable change in plasma concentration of sex (testosterone) and stress (cortisol) hormones, which might have been associated with better reproductive efficiency of Hariana bulls.

Published: September 2017

Most of the common viral diseases can be diagnosed by serological assays and these assays mostly depend on the purity and quality of antibody used. Such specific antibodies can be generated by hybridoma technology. Alternatively, the virus-specific antibodies can be purified from polyclonal serum by immunoaffinity purification technique. Based on this immune affinity purification technique we have purified group-specific antibody against Bluetongue virus (BTV) using recombinant protein VP7 of BTV bound to polystyrene wells. Elution buffer consisting of 100 mM Glycine-HCl, pH 3.0 was found optimum for dissociation of the antibody from recombinant antigen and also to maintain the integrity of antigen. The reactivity of eluted antibody was tested in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The purified antibody will be useful in other serological assays like ELISA, fluorescent assay, and agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) for Bluetongue disease diagnosis

Published: September 2017

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of dietary threonine level on productivity and carcass characteristics of indigenous Venda chickens. In each experiment the diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous but with different dietary threonine levels. A complete randomized design was used in both experiments, the grower (1-49 days old unsexed Venda chickens) and finisher (50-91 days old female chickens) phases. The grower diets contained 4 (CT4), 5 (CT5), 6 (CT6), 7 (CT7) and 8 (CT8) g of threonine/kg DM, while similar diets were used for the finisher phase but designated (FT4), (FT5), (FT6), (FT7) and (FT8), respectively. A quadratic equation was used to determine threonine levels for optimal productivity. Dietary threonine level had significant effect (P>0.05) on feed intake, growth rate, FCR, live weight, ME intake and N-retention of unsexed and female Venda chickens. Feed intake, growth rate, feed conversion ratio, live weight, metabolisable energy and N-retention of unsexed and female Venda chickens were optimized at different dietary threonine levels. Dietary threonine level had no effect (P>0.05) on pH of crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine and caecum contents of female Venda chickens. Dietary threonine requirements for optimal productivity decreased as Venda chickens grew older. Dietary threonine levels for optimal productivity will depend on the particular variable in question. These findings have a lot of implications on ration formulation for slow-growing Venda chickens

Published: September 2017

To enhance genetic variation for desirable traits, the present study on mutation breeding in mungbean crop was initiated with two varieties K-851 and Sona mung, both treated with four doses of gamma rays (100, 200, 300 and 400 Gy). The gamma ray has been widely used for the improvement of various traits of crops, Songsri et al. (2011) and Aney (2013). Mutations could be induced through physical and chemical mutagens, Ahloowalia et al. (2004), Chopra (2005), Jain (2005) and Sangsiri (2005). Auti. (2012) reported that induced mutation in mungbean plays an important role in creating genetic variability, he also stated that high yielding varieties in mungbean is possible by the exploitation of mutation breeding. For yield and its attributing traits, selection was practiced on the basis of the traits showing high positive correlation with primary trait like yield per plant. In Cv. Sona mung, number of branches per plant, clusters per plant, pod per plant, pod per cluster had shown significant positive effect whereas, plant height, number of branches per plant, pod per plant and 100 seed weight showed significant positive effect in Cv. K-851. Coefficient of variation for most of the traits was successively reduced in advanced generations indicating attainment of uniformity within families in the advance generations. Four high yielding mutant families accompanied by high harvest index were identified in M7 generation from 200 and 400 Gy of Sona mung and 200 and 300 Gy of K-851 and families from 200 Gy also showed synchronous maturity for about 80 percent pods. Some of the high yielding families from 300 Gy of K-851 had reduced test weight, thus providing scope for development of high yielding small seeded varieties in mungbean.

Chickpea is one of the most important pulse crops in the world. However, chickpea productivity is not high enough to fulfill the requirements of an ever-increasing demand. One of the major constraints in the chickpea improvement is the narrow genetic base in the cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) and its sexual incompatibility with other Cicer species. Knowledge of molecular characterization, genetic diversity, and relatedness in the germplasm is a prerequisite for varietal registration, protection and overall crop improvement. The present study reports molecular characterization of 75 genotypes using 46 STMS markers. All the STMS loci were found to be highly polymorphic. A total of 132 alleles were found with an average of 2.87 per locus. The highest numbers of alleles were observed with marker TA-21. A cluster analysis arranged these 75 genotypes in 7 clusters. The genotypes ICRISAT 3073 and Pusa 212 showed remarkable genetic similarity (0.796) and the largest genetic distance was observed between C. reticulatum wild-1 and CSG 9505 (0.547). The present analysis provides an insight into the interrelationship among the genotypes and highlights the requirement for effective supplementation of morphological data with additional molecular markers to efficiently unearth the genetic inter-relationship among the genotypes.

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Udaipur (Rajasthan) to find out the effect of weed management on productivity of clusterbean under varying fertility levels. The results revealed that among various weed management practices, two hand weeding 20 and 40 DAS recorded significantly lower weed dry matter, higher weed control efficiency, higher values of yield attributes, seed, haulm and biological yield during both the years over rest of the treatments except sequential application of pendimethalin fb imazethapyr which was statistically at par. Further, application of Imazethapyr fb hand weeding and pendimethalin fb hand weeding also gave comaparable results with pendimethalin fb imazethapyr in terms of weed control efficiency and yields. Among the fertility levels application 20 Kg N + 40 Kg P2O5 ha-1 significantly increased pods plant-1 (24.04), seeds pod-1, (7.12), test weight ( 25.33 g), seed ( 1035 kg ha-1), haulm (2161 kg ha-1) and biological (3196 kg ha-1 ) yield and harvest index ( 31.98 %) of clusterbean over 10 Kg N + 20 Kg P2O5 ha-1 however, it was found statistically at par with fertility level 30 Kg N + 60 Kg P2O5 ha-1. Therefore, clusterbean should be fertilized with 20 Kg N + 40 Kg P2O5 ha-1 and weeds must be controlled with pendimethalin (PE) fb imazethapyr 0.1 kg ha-1 20 DAS .

O Sistema de Gerenciamento da Amazônia Azul como um instrumento de contribuição para a avaliação ambiental estratégica de planos, programas e projetos em setores governamentais no Brasil
Authors: Santos Ricardo França , Teixeira Luciana P.
Published: September 2017

O presente trabalho tem como propósito contribuir para elevar a conscientização dos decisores em relação à utilização do instrumento de avaliação ambiental estratégica (AAE), quando utilizada em conjunto com o Sistema de Gerenciamento da Amazônia Azul (SisGaaz), se aplicados em Planos, Programas e Projetos (PPP) governamentais, assegurando que os valores ambientais possam ser considerados no processo decisório, juntamente com aspectos técnicos, sociais e econômicos, prevenindo e eliminando impactos e efeitos cumulativos ao meio ambiente. Para tal, é necessária uma conscientização política dos envolvidos e uma ferramenta para apoiar os tomadores de decisão, visando otimizar os riscos afetos. Dessa forma, foram levantadas na literatura a evolução da legislação no contexto dos estudos de impactos ambientais e do processo de licenciamento ambiental, as experiências nacionais e internacionais, os benefícios e as principais limitações deste instrumento. Por outro lado, o SisGaaz se apresenta como um programa da Marinha do Brasil que poderá contribuir como uma ferramenta para a avaliação do impacto ambiental estratégico em PPP públicos da área ambiental, devido não só à sua visão holística, mas sobretudo devido à grande interatividade que o SisGaaz permitirá entre os diversos sistemas do plano estratégico nos setores governamentais no país.

The proliferation of mobile devices and advances in wireless networking has created an always-connected society. One of the sectors of the economy that has made use of these technologies is agribusiness, through its need for traceability and geographical location, among others. Agribusiness managers work in transit, remotely and at various headquarters, and need access to information and constant communication to support decision making. This study aims to examine how mobile technologies have influenced everyday decisions in the perception of agribusiness professionals. The research was exploratory, using a qualitative approach to the data. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight agribusiness professionals. Data were analyzed through content analysis, considering mobile service categories. The results showed that the respondent agribusiness professionals use mobile technology in their specific everyday life for a variety of functions and needs. Respondents also reported using the features of the mobile service portfolio in different ways, according to availability in their region (e.g. connectivity) and their comfort with technology in general, and specific tasks (such as applications that assist in pest diagnosis).

Published: September 2017

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que visou analisar a influência do cargo e do nível de instrução dos usuários em sua satisfação em relação a sistemas integrados de gestão (enterprise resource planning - ERP). Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários semiestruturados aplicados a 115 usuários de ERPs em 13 diferentes empresas. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio das seguintes técnicas: estatística descritiva, coeficente de correlação de Spearman e Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID). Os resultados evidenciaram que o cargo e a função dos usuários têm influência direta na avaliação dos ERPs. Em geral, a avaliação dos usuários técnicos e assistentes apresentou resultados estatisticamente superiores aos da avaliação realizada por usuários em cargos de supervisão e coordenação. Constatou-se, ainda, uma influência significativa do nível de instrução dos usuários em sua avaliação dos sistemas, especialmente, porque empregados com menor nível de instrução tenderam a avaliar mais positivamente as características dos ERPs.

A demanda mundial por terras vem se tornando um fenômeno global, impulsionando aquilo que se convencionou chamar de “land grabbing”, “acaparamiento de tierras” ou “extranjerización” de glebas. Partindo desse tema, o presente artigo debate como o controle de governos/corporações internacionais sobre as terras e territórios de comunidades tradicionais evidenciam a estrangeirização de terras como uma recente modalidade de “continuidade das formas coloniais de dominação” (Grosfoguel, 2008, p.126). O objetivo é contextualizar a assim chamada corrida mundial por terras, através de dados da FAO (2011) e à luz de elementos sociológicos e jurídicos que permeiam a questão. O pano de fundo é problematizar as interfaces do tema com as formas de continuidade do colonialismo. Palavras-chave: Estrangeirização de terras; América Latina; Terras e territórios; Identidades sociais“Land Grabbing” and the Forms of Coloniality in the Latin American “Agro”AbstractThe global demand for land has become a global phenomenon, boosting what has been termed "estrangeirização de terras", "land grabbing" or "extranjerization". From this point of view, the present article discusses how the control of international governments/corporations over the lands and territories of traditional communities evidences as a recent modality of "continuity of colonial forms of domination" (Grosfoguel, 2008, p.126 ).
