In the period of 24-59 months of age, the sensory system of toddlers is ready to face various stimulations and growths, such as learning to speak more fluently and recognizing environmental conditions, physical and psychological growth. Not all toddlers can grow optimally. One form of growth failure during toddlerhood is stunting. Indonesia is the country with the fifth-highest stunting condition in the world in the last decade. Around 37% (nearly 9 million) of children under five in Indonesia are stunted. Stunting can of course be avoided by knowing the possible causes and signs such as 1) Under-standard anthropometric measures, 2) Low nutritional adequacy, 3) Body Mass Index for Parents, 4) Age at high risk during pregnancy, 5) Poor environmental sanitation. well preserved. Anthropometric measurement indicators such as height, weight, and head circumference are used as the main criteria for assessing the adequacy of nutritional intake and physical growth of infants and toddlers. In Indonesia, the growth curve for children under five that is commonly used is KartuMenujuSehat (KMS). The KMS curve is designed based on references from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (NCHS). Based on this mismatch, this study aims to design a graph of physical growth standards for toddlers based on anthropometry (height, weight, head circumference, chest circumference, calf circumference), fat thickness, and nutritional adequacy of toddlers according to the average physical size of toddlers in Indonesia. Also, it assesses the adequacy of nutrition in areas that have inhibiting factors for nutrient intake. This growth standard graph is designed using the spline regression method. This study used a cross-sectional design where measurements were carried out once. The sample in this study were children under five who were in the study who met the inclusion criteria. Based on the results of data analysis and the design of the curve mode, the third-order cubic spline mode is obtained with a combination of two knots, namely 9 and 21 knots, and a minimum GCV value of 2.1267. The linear assumption value is fulfilled with a value of R2 = 82.54. i.e. linearity, normality, and a constant zero residue are met.

Authors: Nurdahniar Inda
Published: March 2021

Brands have economic value so protection is needed. Brand protection arises when registered. But this is excluded against brands that contain elements of decency. In reality many businesses use brands with the word, logo plus taglines that contain pornographic elements. The problem is seen if the brand continues to operate in the middle of society and even penetrated into social media. Based on the results of the study, the arrangement of brand taglines containing pornographic elements on social media is not specifically regulated but spread across various laws and regulations and there is overlapping. In fact the @ngocok.eskopi account with the trademark "Ngocok Es Kopi" passes as a registered trademark. Whereas when viewed with great disalness, both brands, logos and taglines used on social media have given implicit perceptions or images of pornography. In the era of digitization, social media is a potential media for means of promotion, it is fitting that there are special arrangements such as conventional promotion. Various regulations must also be integrated, such as the use of accounts on social media using legal identity (KTP), applying the tagline as a brand definition in the parent rule of the MIG Law, the passing of registered brands is the responsibility of regulators (human factors) and should not be charged to the system alone (technological factors), expanding the limitations of pornography to be explicit and implicit.

The experiment was carried out at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during summer season of 2012 to identify suitable legume crops for growing with maize in a maize + legume intercropping system for better weed suppression, system productivity and economic benefits in kharif season. There were 17 treatments, viz.T1= Sole maize (no weeding), T2= Maize + Mungbean (no weeding), T3= Maize + Mungbean (weeding at 20 DAE), T4= Maize + Mungbean (weeding at 40 DAE), T5= Maize + Mungbean (weeding at 20 and 40 DAE), T6= Maize + Soybean (no weeding), T7= Maize + Soybean (weeding at 20 DAE), T8= Maize + Soybean (weeding at 40 DAE), T9= Maize + Soybean (weeding at 20 and 40 DAE), T10= Maize + Blackgram (no weeding), T11= Maize + Blackgram (weeding at 20 DAE), T12= Maize + Blackgram (weeding at 40 DAE), T13= Maize + Blackgram (weeding at 20 and 40 DAE) T14 =Sole maize (weed free), T15= Sole Mungbean (weed free), T16= Sole Soybean (weed free) and  T17= Sole Blackgram (weed free) were studied. Intercropping systems significantly reduced the weed population and weed dry biomass in comparison to sole cropping of maize under unweeded situation. Among the three different intercropping systems, maize + mungbean with two hand weedings produced the lowest weed dry weight (184.30 g at 20 DAE and 14.07 g at 40 DAE)  and the highest weed control efficiency (87% at 40 DAE) followed by maize + soybean and maize + blackgram intercropping systems. The highest grain yield was obtained from weed free sole maize (8.05 t ha-1) than unweeded sole maize (6.48 t ha-1) treatment. Among all intercropping, maize + mungbean along with two hand weedings gave the highest yield (maize: 7.18 t ha-1; 572.6 kg ha-1 mungbean), resource complementarity and profitability (MEY = 10.62 t ha-1, LER = 1.81 and BCR = 2.47). From the study it was concluded that maize + mungbean with two hand weedings at 20 and 40 DAE would be the best in reducing weed growth, producing maximum yield and getting net return in intercropping systems during kharif season.

Published: March 2021

Crop management like planting time is a crucial factor for maximizing yield especially for seed production. Seed production of carrot is greatly influenced by temperature as it requires adequate periods of cool temperature (vernalization) for flowering and seed production. To find out optimum planting time of carrot steckling for quality seed production the experiment was conducted at the Field Laboratory of Horticulture Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October 2015 to May 2016.Three planting time viz. 05 January, 15 January and 25 January on the seed production of three carrot varieties viz. BA (Brasillia Agroflora), PA (Prima Agroflora) and NK (New Kuroda) which constituted 9 treatment combinations were included in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Planting time had significant effect on most of the parameters studied. The January 05 planting of steckling gave the highest seed yield (527.92 kg ha-1) and the lowest was in January 25 planting of steckling (314.75 kg ha-1). Among the varieties BA gave the highest seed yield (448.73 kg ha-1) and the lowest yield for New Kuroda (395.35 kgha-1.) Considering interaction of planting time and variety the highest seed yield (572.37 kg ha-1) was obtained from the treatment combination of early planting (05 January) with the variety of BA and the lowest (279.77 kg ha-1) was recorded from the late planting (25 January) in variety PA. Hence, BA carrot variety planting on 5 January may be recommended for carrot seed production in Mymensingh region in Bangladesh.

Background: There is evidence that mesh repair for umbilical hernias results in fewer recurrences. Early and late complication rates of mesh repair are variable with different techniques of mesh repair. In recent years, several mesh device for the repair of small ventral hernias have been developed, but some reports have been published reporting some adverse outcomes like high recurrences or wound related complications encountered with those mesh devices. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of small umbilical hernia(<3cm) repair using self expanding dual mesh.

Methods: In this study we used a composite self-expanding mesh with Polypropylene(PP) on one side and expanded polytetrafleuroethylene(ePTFE) on the other side. We introduced this technique in our department at BIRDEM General Hospital and IMC in March 2017 and collected patients data and outcome in an observational study of 25 consecutive patients matching our inclusion criteria until February 2019. In addition to the routine 1st week postoperative follow-up, We did a prospective follow-up at 1 month,6 month and 1 year which included a questionnaire, clinical examination and ultra sonogram after 12 months.

Results: The study included 15 female and 10 male patients with age ranging from 25-62 years(Mean- 47) having 16 primary umbilical hernia and 9 umbilical port hernias. The size of gap was <3cm and all except 2 hernias were reducible. In all patients a self expanding dual mesh was used with a diameter of 8cm(18 patients) or 6.4(7 patients) cm. Early complications included superficial wound infection-1(4%), seroma-1(4%), serosanguinous discharge-1(4%) and ecchymosis-1(4%). No major wound problems were noted in 1 month or 6 month follow-up except 1 patient reporting hypertrophied scar. At 1st month follow up 21 patientswere pain free, after 6 month only 1 patient reported mild pain, after 1 year 100% patients were pain free. 24 out of 25 patients ie 96% were very satisfied with the result of their repair. There was no recurrence after one year.

Conclusion: Umbilical and umbilical port hernia repair with Self expanding dual mesh is effective and is cosmetically very appreciated by patients as good as laparoscopic repair. Therefore, we recommend using these meshes only for umbilical and umbilical port hernias smaller than 3 cm. For larger or incisional hernias other techniques allowing the use of larger meshes is advocated.

Published: March 2021

Background:The emergence of endoultrasound (EUS) has shown this modality to be an excellent method of detecting and staging lesions in the pancreas with a low rate of complications. Controversy has arisen about whether the approach with the conventional image (CT/US) guided FNA or endoultrasound (EUS) guided FNA is the preferred method to obtain cells from suspicious mass.

Objectives:To assess the diagnostic efficacy of endoultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS FNA) versus conventional imageguided fine needle aspiration (CT/US FNA) in pancreatic malignancy.

Methodology:Twentyeight cases of clinically suspected patients of pancreatic malignancy were included in the study. Each enrolled patient underwent to either a conventional image guided fine needle aspiration or endoultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of the pancreatic mass for diagnosis of pancreatic malignancy. Data were analyzed with the help of SPSS version 23. Statistical analysis was done by student t-test and Chi square (÷2) test. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.

Result: Diagnostic accuracy in terms of distinguishing the cytopathology was 57.1% in conventional image(CT/US) guided FNA group and 85.7% in EUS guided FNA group. These values were numerically convincing for preferring EUS guided FNA method but was statistically insignificant. Again, if we consider the diagnosis of malignancy alone the values were 35.7% and 64.3% for CT/US guided FNA and EUS guided FNA respectively. This was also not significant statistically.

Conclusion:Numerically EUS guided FNA showed better precision in detecting pancreatic malignancy and thereby its accuracy in yielding adequate tissue sample for cytological evaluation and inference.

Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) of clonal complex CC398 typically carry various antimicrobial resistance genes, many of them located on plasmids. In the bovine LA-MRSA isolate Rd11, we previously identified plasmid pAFS11 in which resistance genes are co-localized with a novel ica-like gene cluster, harboring genes required for polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA)-mediated biofilm formation. The ica genes on pAFS11 were acquired in addition to a pre-existing ica locus on the S. aureus Rd11 chromosomal DNA. Both loci consist of an icaADBC operon and icaR, encoding a corresponding icaADBC repressor. Despite carrying two biofilm gene copies, strain Rd11 did not produce PIA and transformation of pAFS11 into another S. aureus strain even slightly diminished PIA-mediated biofilm formation. By focusing on the molecular background of the biofilm-negative phenotype of pAFS11-carrying S. aureus, we identified the pAFS11-borne ica locus copy as functionally fully active. However, transcription of both plasmid- and core genome-derived icaADBC operons were efficiently suppressed involving IcaR. Surprisingly, although being different on the amino acid sequence level, the two IcaR repressor proteins are mutually replaceable and are able to interact with the icaA promoter region of the other copy. We speculate that this regulatory crosstalk causes the biofilm-negative phenotype in S. aureus Rd11. The data shed light on an unexpected regulatory interplay between pre-existing and newly acquired DNA traits in S. aureus. This also raises interesting general questions regarding functional consequences of gene transfer events and their putative implications for the adaptation and evolution of bacterial pathogens.

The endosymbiotic bacteria, Wolbachia, are best known for their ability to manipulate insect-host reproduction systems that enhance their vertical transmission within host populations. Increasingly, Wolbachia have been shown to depend on their hosts' metabolism for survival and in turn provision metabolites to their host. Wolbachia depends completely on the host for iron and as such iron has been speculated to be a fundamental aspect of Wolbachia-host interplay. However, the mechanisms by which dietary iron levels, Wolbachia, and its host interact remain to be elucidated. To understand the metabolic dependence of Wolbachia on its host, the possibility of metabolic provisioning and extraction, and the interplay with available dietary iron, we have used NMR-based metabolomics and compared metabolite profiles of Wolbachia-infected and uninfected Drosophila melanogaster flies raised on varying levels of dietary iron. We observed marked metabolite differences in the affected metabolite pathways between Wolbachia-infected and uninfected Drosophila, which were dependent on the dietary iron levels. Excess iron led to lipid accumulation, whereas iron deficiency led to changes in carbohydrate levels. This represents a major metabolic shift triggered by alterations in iron levels. Lipids, some amino acids, carboxylic acids, and nucleosides were the major metabolites altered by infection. The metabolic response to infection showed a reprogramming of the mitochondrial metabolism in the host. Based on these observations, we developed a physiological model which postulates that the host's insulin/insulin-like-growth factor pathway is depressed and the hypoxia signaling pathway is activated upon Wolbachia infection. This reprogramming leads to predominantly non-oxidative metabolism in the host, whereas Wolbachia maintains oxidative metabolism. Our data also support earlier predictions of the extraction of alanine from the host while provisioning riboflavin and ATP to the host.
