Authors: Singh Paramveer , Arhar Arti , Bhardwaj Ajay
Published: November 2019

Anthurium belongs to family Araceae and is highly praised flowering plant for its colourful long lasting unique flower and shining foliage. It is also an excellent plant for interior and as cut flower, especially for flower arrangement. The most suitable part of anthurium is modification of the leaf and botanically known as ‘spathe’. Heart shaped spathe emerges on the long flower stalk with a spadix. This plant blooms almost continuously under suitable conditions. It is epiphytic in nature with climbing, creeping and arboreous stems including many aerial roots that aid in taping water and nourishment. Quality and productivity of anthurium flowers depends on the growing medium. Most of the anthurium growers prepare own their growing media, but they do not know that the low productivity and quality might come from an poor potting mixture that they are using. One of the most important components of anthurium cultivation is the choice of growing substrate or medium. It is known to grow best in a well aerated medium with good water retention capacity and drainage. A good medium needs to be able to anchor the roots and stems so that the plant will not topple over as it grows larger, yet it should provide sufficient moisture, nutrient and aeration to the plant. The objective of this review is to present a summary of the influence of various growing medium on the growth, flowering, productivity and quality of anthurium grown in protected conditions. The results from the literature prove that the productivity of anthurium tends to be more in those plants which grown in different growing medium compared to soil grown plants.

India is endowed with a rich genetic diversity of fruits. The Hindustani centre represents 344 species of fruits. Northeast India, meeting ground of Indo-Malayan and Indo-Chinese bio-geographical areas is one of the 18 mega-biodiversity centers of the World, has contributed the fruit genera like Citrus, Musa, Mangifera, Docynia, Elaeocarpus, Myrica, Morus, Artocarpus, etc. There are a quite large number of indigenous and underutilized fruit crops, which are being used by the local inhabitants in rural areas. These underutilized fruits are fairly rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidant properties and are serving as protective food. Because of their curative properties, different parts of these fruit and plants have been used in ethno-medicines. Apart from their nutritive and medicinal values quite a few of these underutilized fruits have good flavor, colour and juice content and can be used for value additions. Several underutilized fruit species which have potential for commercial exploitation are yet to be utilized to their potential. These fruit crops have not undergone any conscious phase of domestication and selection. Their cultivation is very restricted and they grow in wild and semi wild condition and adapted to local climatic conditions. Hence they can thrive even under most adverse situation. Their adoption on a commercial scale, with crop improvement, standardization of cultural practices and popularization in diverse farming systems and value additions are warranted to achieve stability in farm production and food security. Many underutilized species, well adapted to marginal lands and with low cost inputs, may thus be of great benefit for the survival of poor communities, employment generation and sustainability of agricultural ecosystems.

Published: November 2019

An incubation study was conducted to determine the influence of biochar and corn straw on CO2-C emission, soil organic C, microbial biomass C and N, total N, and mineral N (NH4+-N and NO3--N) in a clay loam soil. Six treatments viz., CK (Control); S (Soil + 1% straw); B1 (Soil + 0.5% biochar); B2 (Soil + 2% biochar); SB1 (Soil + 1% straw + 0.5% biochar); SB2 (Soil + 1% straw + 2% biochar) were tested with three replications. Results showed that straw addition to soil with or without biochar increased CO2-C emission while sole-biochar addition (2%) reduced it. Straw and biochar also increased the soil microbial biomass C and N but greatest increase in microbial biomass N (111.9 µg g-1) was recorded by biochar-straw combination. SOC and total N significantly increased following biochar and straw additions which suggest that organic amendments can improve soil chemical properties. Additionally, for soil mineral N, biochar reduced NH4+-N and NO3--N concentrations while straw increased NH4+-N concentration but greatly reduced that of NO3--N.

Purification and characterization of protease inhibitors from rice bean (Vigna umbellata) and their efficacy against Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) gut proteinases
Authors: Sharma Kanika
Published: November 2019

A protease inhibitor from rice bean was isolated and purified to assess its potential against gut proteases of Spodoptera litura, a devastating pest of several economically important crops globally. The purified inhibitor showed a single band protein on SDS-PAGE corresponding to molecular weight of 24.0 kDa. The inhibitor was purified to near homogeneity with 181.55 fold purification and final yield of 29.18 per cent. The inhibitory potential of purified rice bean trypsin protease inhibitor on larvae of Spodoptera gut proteases was studied which showed maximum azocaseinolytic (1.93U), trypsin (0.66U) and chymotrypsin activity (0.37 U) in second larval instar which gradually decreased upto late fifth larval instar stage. Inhibitory assay revealed that rice bean trypsin inhibitors were strong inhibitor of Spodoptera litura and inhibited more than 80 per cent for trypsin and around 69 per cent for chymotrypsin activity. To further determine the efficacy of rice bean protease inhibitors, feeding assays were conducted by adding rice bean flour in larval artificial diet. High mortality rate was observed in Spodoptera litura larvae after 72 hrs when rice bean was given as sole diet (100% rice bean composition). The results obtained from present study provide important clues in designing strategies for sustainable use of rice bean protease inhibitors in developing insect-tolerant transgenic plants.

Authors: Singh Shalini , Verma Vinay , Singh B. , Sharma V. R. , Kumar Mukesh
Published: November 2019

An experiment was conducted to determine the magnitude of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean among fifty-five genotypes of pea using eleven quantitative characters viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of first fruiting node, length of first fruiting node, number of pods per plant, length of pod, width of pod, number of seeds per pods, green pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant and shell weight per plant. The results of ANOVA showed significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters indicating the existence of wide spectrum of variability among the genotypes. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was quite higher than the corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). High value of GCV and PCV was recorded for seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant, shell weight per plant, green pod yield per plant, plant height, length of first fruiting node and number of first fruiting node. All the characters showed high magnitude of heritability in broad sense (>60%) ranged from 83.91% (width of pod) to 98.84% (number of pods per plant). Further, high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean (>20%) was observed for all the characters except days to 50 % flowering suggesting that these characters are genetically controlled by additive (heritable) gene action and can be utilized for pea improvement through selection. The genotypes which showed superior results for the objectives under study were VRP-383, VRP-311, VRP-320 and Kashi Shakti and can be utilized for further breeding programme of pea.

Published: November 2019

Isu kesetaraan gender masih menjadi perhatian banyak pihak. Meski perbaikan mulai tampak, ketimpangan dan diskriminasi masih menjadi persoalan serius. Tidak hanya karena ketimpangan dan diskriminasi, penajaman perspektif gender dan pemberdayaan perempuan itu secara bersamaan menjadi krusial karena pada dasarnya setiap pengambilan keputusan serta setiap strategi pembangunan itu memiliki implikasi gender, tak terlepas pada situasi kekinian. Atikel ini menggarisbawahi argumentasi pentingnya penajaman perspektif gender di dalam pembangunan guna mencapai target Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Penajaman perspektif itu dapat dilakukan dengan menguatkan strategi pemberdayaan kaum perempuan melalui pelibatan stakeholder secara lebih ekstensif dan intensif. Pengintegrasian perspektif gender dengan rencana dan implementasi pembangunan dengan demikian menjadi kebutuhan tidak terhindarkan. Prinsip SDGs yang meliputi universalitas (universality), komprehensif (comprehensive), dan inklusif (no one left behind) memberikan atmosfer yang sangat kondusif bagi penguatan kesetaraan gender. SDGs juga dilengkapi dengan petunjuk pelaksanaan sehingga lebih memudahkan pemerintah bersama-sama dengan masyarakat untuk mencapai tujuan pembangunan tersebut. Tantangan pencapaian SDGs kini terletak pada kemauan (willingness) para pengambil kebijakan dan agen-agen pembangunan.

Tema wanita selalu menarik untuk diperbincangkan untuk memberikan arah perbincangan atau tema yang bermakna, maka Al Qur’an telah memberikan pedoman kongkritnya. Setidaknya ada 5 surat yang menjadikan wanita sebagai tema pokonya, yaitu QS An Nisa surat keempat, Maryam surat ke sembilan belas, Al Mujadilah surat kelima puluh delapan, QS Al Mumtahanah surat keenam puluh dan At Thalaq surat keenam puluh lima. Dengan menjadikan QS An Nisa sebagai pijakan kajian, diharapkan mampu memberikan penguatan, guide line terhadap gerak langkah wanita masa kini untuk dapat selalu dalam koridor Illahi Rabb. Wanita sebagai makhluk istimewa tidak harus memposisikan diri sebagai sosok yang harus dipahami tapi juga sosok yang mampu memahami. Surat An Nisa dapat dijadikan pijakn untuk melakukan kedua hal tersebut. Relasi yang seimbang ini hanya akan bisa dilakukan selama pengkajian terhadap ajaran abadi selalu dilakukan secara istiqamah. Perilaku inilah yang akan menghasilkan sawah dan produsen generasi emas yang sangat dibutuhkan negara dan bangsa.

Esta pesquisa tem como tema a relação do aluno que cumpre medida socioeducativa de internação com os processos de escolarização. A pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender o sentido do trabalho escolar desenvolvido na Fundação CASA, a partir da perspectiva do adolescente autor de ato infracional em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de internação. Problematizou-se sobre a relação que estes adolescentes estabelecem com a escola, por meio da análise de suas trajetórias anteriores até a atual situação escolar, vivenciada na referida Fundação. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com seis adolescentes internados. A análise foi realizada com base nos conceitos ofício de aluno, sentido do trabalho escolar e relação com o saber, oriundos do referencial teórico dos autores Perrenoud (1995) e Charlot (2005). Como resultados da pesquisa, percebeu-se, a existência de uma relação truncada destes jovens com a escola, anterior à internação, pois vivenciaram trajetórias permeadas por situações de abandono, reprovações e expulsões. Contraditoriamente, foi possível evidenciar que, de algum modo, no ambiente de internação, estabelecem uma nova relação com a escola, que se mostra positiva, conforme seus relatos, embora também seja utilitarista e estratégica, pois está atrelada à questão de sua desinternação.

Meat from wildlife contributes significantly to food security and income generation in many African communities. Salmonellae and yersiniae are important causes of foodborne infections. This study investigated the presence and antimicrobial resistance of salmonellae and yersiniae in the fecal contents of hunted wild rodents and ruminants at a wildlife meat-processing center in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Bacteria were isolated and identified by selective culture methods and biochemical characterization. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Salmonellae were isolated from 15 (9.8%) and yersiniae from 11 (7.2%) samples out of 153. Salmonellae were detected in nine cane rats (Thryonomys swinderianus), five royal antelopes (Neotragus pygmaeus) and one African giant rat (Cricetomys gambianus). Yersiniae were detected in eight cane rats, two royal antelopes and one waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus). The levels of resistance in Salmonella isolates were 100% for ampicillin and ceftiofur, 93.3% for tetracycline, 33.3% for cefotaxime, 26.7% for ceftazidime, 13.3% for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, nalidixic acid and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and 6.7% for gentamicin, streptomycin and norfloxacin. The levels of resistance in yersiniae isolates were 81.8% for ampicillin, 72.7% for ceftiofur, 63.6% for nalidixic acid, 54.5% for cefotaxime, ceftazidime and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, 36.4% for tetracycline, 27.3% for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and streptomycin, 18.2% for ciprofloxacin, and 9.1% for chloramphenicol and gentamicin. All the isolates showed multiresistance to antimicrobials from at least three different classes. The detection of antimicrobial resistant salmonellae and yersiniae in wildlife is of veterinary and public health significance as these organisms can be transmitted to domestic animals and humans.

Invasive non-typhoidal salmonellosis characterized by gastroenteritis and bacteremia is endemic in sub-Sahara Africa. Most infections are foodborne with animals serving as asymptomatic carriers. We investigated Salmonella serovars and associated resistance genes in chicken meat using culture, minimum inhibitory concentrations and PCR amplification of resistance genes. Of 100 samples examined, 28 (28%) were Salmonella positive and spread across six serovars: Haifa (71.4%), Chomedey (7.1%), Saintpaul (7.1%), Kainji (7.1%), Derby (3.6%), and Blockley (3.6%). Antimicrobial resistance was observed to ciprofloxacin (85.7%), nalidixic acid (75.0%), sulfamethoxazole (67.9%), tetracycline (67.9%), trimethoprim (42.9%), gentamicin (35.7%), streptomycin (32.1%), ampicillin (10.7%), chloramphenicol (10.7%), kanamycin (7.1%) and florfenicol (3.6%). All isolates were susceptible to cefotaxime, ceftazidime and colistin, whereas 19 (67.9%) showed multidrug resistance to at least three antimicrobials. The predominant resistance type was Cip-Gen-Nal-Smx-Tet-Tmp detected in six (21%) isolates. Multidrug resistance of Salmonella serovars was high in the sampled chicken meat with resistance most observed against ciprofloxacin. This suggests possible horizontal transfer of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes, which may compromise the clinical use of fluoroquinolones. Thus, improved hygiene and provision of adequate facilities at meat processing centers could help limit meat contamination and foodborne transmission of multi-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars from chickens to humans.

Human resources in the health sector need to be improved on both the aspects of quality and quantity. This is important for development planning. According to BPS in 2017 the population of East Java was 39,292,972 people, while in 2018 there were 39,500,851 people. Data from SISDMK revealed that there were 1,821specialist doctors in 2017 and 2,531 in 2018. This qualitative research was aimed at understanding and exploring deeply the secondary data obtained from the 2017–2018 SISDMK. The data was analyzed using Spectrum Software for population projection and human resource health needs. The results showed that the population projection of East Java kept increasing. In 2020 it will reach 39,886,288 people, and in 2030 there will be as many as 42,329,015 people. The projection of the number of specialist doctor needs in East Java in 2020 is 4,387, which will keep increasing to 5,079 in 2030. The ratio of specialist doctors in 2020 will be 36.26 per 100,000 population, and in 2030 it will be 35.27 per 100,000.
The Use of Contraceptive Implant Method for Family Planning in East Java (Data Analysis of 2015 SUSENAS)
Authors: Destiwi Monita
Published: November 2019

One of the problems being faced by Indonesia is the population explosion. The increasing population is a result of the increasing birth rate. To lower thebirth rate the use of long acting contraceptive methods is being promoted. Based on data from SDKI 2012, the percentage of the the use of contraceptives in East Java is still dominated by the use of short acting contraceptive methods (80.99 percent). Meanwhile the long acting contraceptive methods are still lacking in use. One type of long acting contraceptive methods is implant. This study is aimed at exploring the factors that influence the use of implants in the East Java Province based on data from SUSENAS 2015. This is a non-reactive study which used a secondary data analysis with a cross-sectional design. The sample was taken from the data of female respondents of SUSENAS 2015 who were 15–49 years old, used implant methods and lived in East Java. Chi square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the data.The results showed that women who were 30 years of age or older (OR = 3.653), had at least three children (OR = 2.563) and had previous experinces with modern contraceptives (OR = 0.109) affected the use of contraceptive implant methods in East Java. It is expected that by conducting education and socialization on the use of contraceptive implants for family planning to couples at reproductive ages, the use of contraceptive implants can be more optimized.

Gestation is the growth of an embryo which starts from conception and ends at the beginning of labor. The most common direct causes of complications in pregnancy respectively are preeclampsia (28.7%), bleeding (22.42%), and infection (3.45%). The most common infection that is experienced by mothers due to complications of pregnancy is due to premature ruptured membranes (65%). The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of pregnant women who experienced premature ruptured membranes at Assalam Hospital, Gemolong. This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The population is all pregnant women with premature ruptured membranes (KPD) at Assalam Hospital, Gemolong, in April–May 2015, totalling 36 women. The sample was all pregnant women with premature ruptured membranes (KPD) at Assalam Hospital, Gemolong, throughout April–May 2015 and the sampling technique used was non probability sampling. The secondary data were obtained from medical record data at Assalam Hospital, Gemolong, from April to May 2015. The results showed that the characteristics of pregnant women with KPD were that they were mostly 20–35 years of age (91.7%), had primiparous parity (63.9%), were mostly working mothers (72.2%), and had secondary education (80.6%).

Published: November 2019

Currently, in the Russian Federation, the metrological traceability of certified reference materials of the composition of gas mixtures in cylinders under pressure produced by manufacturers of certified reference materials is carried out in accordance with GOST 8.578-2014. Considering that certified reference materials of the composition of gas mixtures in cylinders under pressure are used for testing to approye the type of measuring instruments, verification, calibration, and graduation of gas-analytical measuring instruments used to control explosive gases and vapors, harmful components in the atmospheric air and the air of the working area, emissions from vehicles and enterprises, to control technological processes, the quality of hydrocarbon products, etc., the issue of ensuring the quality of seriously produced certified reference materials (about 100.000 cylinders with gas mixtures per year) is important. To ensure the quality of certified reference materials of gas mixtures in cylinders under pressure, mass-produced by manufacturers of certified reference materials, we offer the following actions:

– manufacturers of certified reference materials’ passing of mandatory accreditation for compliance with the requirements of GOST ISO Guide 34–2014 and GOST ISO Guide 35–2015;

– manufacturers of certified reference materials’ constant participation in the proficiency testing programs through interlaboratory tests;

– actualizing and refining the existing set of standards defining the requirements for the entire life cycle of a certified reference material of a gas mixture in a cylinder under pressure;

– improving the method of certification of a reference material by calculating the value of the expanded uncertainty of the reference material and the introducting a new coefficient «technological reserve».
