Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is a circulation of water mass in Indonesian, water are carrying from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. When the water mass from the Pacific Ocean to Indonesian waters will mix with the water mass of Indian Ocean. One of the outflow is the Lombok Strait. The mixing of process bring nutrient-rich in bottom layer to rise to the upper layer and it will affect the fertility. One indicator of water fertility by measuring the abundance and distribution of plankton. The aims of this study to determine the temporal of composition species and fluctuations of plankton abundance temporally in the waters of the Lombok Strait. The study was conducted in the Lombok Strait in November 2017. Data was collected at one point and sample was only take on the surface of the waters. The genus composition of the most widely found phytoplankton Bacillariophyceae class (19 genera) and from the widely obtained zooplankton Hexanauplia class (7 genera). The highest abundance of phytoplankton occurs during high tide during afternoon. This phenomenon is caused by photosynthesis of phytoplankton in the water surface. In contrast to the abundance of the highest zooplankton occurs during high tide in the early morning. This is caused by zooplankton's daily vertical migration and negative phototaxis. Comparison of phytoplankton abundance with zooplankton abundance is inversely proportional, zooplankton abundance depends on abundance of phytoplankton, because phytoplankton grow faster by cell substraction, compared to phototaxis of in zooplankton. It is also a predation of phytoplankton by zooplankton.

Fishes are an open access resource so that monitoring of fishing in the sea is very difficult. It is feared will lead to overfishing which eventually led to a drastic reduction in fish stocks in nature. So that people will be faced with the problem of scarcity of fish resources. One of the fish landing sites in Bali is Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (PPI) Kedonganan located in Fishery Management Area of Republic Indonesia (WPP-RI) 713. Therefore, it is necessary to understanding the current status of fish resources is very important in order to be a strong foundation in the management fisheries in PPI Kedonganan. The study was conducted by assessing five indicators of fish resources (fish size, yuwana fish, species composition, range collapse, and ETP species) by establishing a set of criteria, scores and weights and analyzed by multi-criteria analysis (MCA) approach. There found 16 species of catch fish with Cob Fish as dominant catch fish (54%). The trend of changes in fish size has increased significantly by + 90.18% of the initial length (Indicator of fish size). An average of 99% of fish catched were the target fish (Indicator of species composition). An average of 28.33% of fish catches included yuwana fish (Indicator of yuwana fish proportion). The results of interviews, it was found that 73% of fishermen state that fishing areas increasingly difficult from year to year (Indicator ranges collapse). There were <20% of fish catches including protected species (Scomberomorus commerson and Sphyrna lewini). It is also supported based on fisherman interview data that there were still protected fish such as turtles, sharks and rays that are caught but in small quantities (Indicator of ETP fish species). The result of composite analysis showed that the status of fish resources in Kedonganan was still very good with composite value of 86.1.

The Indonesian archipelago is a region with high marine diversity, especially in the coral reef ecosystem. Coral reefs have ecological functions such as habitat and foraging. However, coral reefs facing various threats including land pollution, fishing effects, climate change, and coral reef depletion caused by ocean acidity. The condition of coral reefs in Pemuteran waters now is much different from a few years ago. Many organisms symbiosis in living and dead corals, especially crabs. Water depth can affect the abundance of crabs. This study was to determine the level of crab diversity on dead corals (Acropora sp. And Pocillopora sp.) Based on differences in depth. The water depth was divided into 5 and 20 meters. Each depth is taken by three Acropora sp. and three Pocillopora sp. The types of crabs that obtained consist of the family Cheiragonidae, Eriphiidae, Leucosiidae, Majidae, Pilumnidae, Pinnotheridae, Porcellanidae, Xanthidae, Portunidae, and Goneplaciade. Highest composition of crab species in Acropora sp. depth of 5 meters 60% (Xanthidae) and depth of 20 meters 37% (Portunidae and Pilumnidae). Highest composition of crab species in Pocillopora sp. A depth of 5 meters 34% (Xanthidae) and depth of 20 meters by 37% (Pilumnidae). The highest density of Acropora sp. is 37.03 ind/cm2 and Pocillopora sp. is 229.63 ind / cm2. The diversity index analysis of crabs at 2 depths category is moderate, which means that the balance in the ecosystem is unstable, where there are some of species with low and high tolerance levels if there is a change in pressure from the environment.

Sunter C river is located on Yos Sudarso street at coordinates 6°8'32,63" South Latitude, 106°53'25,78" East Longitude and downstream Sunter C river is located on Sunter Barat river street coordinates 6°8'24,78" South Latitude, 106°51'24.68" East Longitude. In area around the Sunter C river, there are still frequent floods every time the rainy season arrives because of the narrowing of canal section in upstream area of Sunter C river and Sunter C river water can’t flow gravitationally to Sentiong river because the base elevation of Sentiong river is higher than Sunter C river. From the above conditions, it’s necessary to analyze the problem of flooding in Sunter C river area to find out whether Sunter C river can still accommodate water discharge based on rainfall in the last 10 years and does the Sunter C river need normalization. Based on the results of manual calculations and HEC-RAS application, the Sunter C river can’t accommodate water discharge based on rainfall for the last 10 years of 15.88 m3/s. At point 0 - point 3 it is necessary to normalize by widening the cross-section from 3.6 m to 8 m and at point 4 from 4.8 m to 8 m.

Published: January 2023

An earthquake (magnitude, ML = 3.8) occurred on 31 October 2019 at 11:19 hours Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the Sunduza area of the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province in South Africa. The earthquake was located near the broad fracture zone of the Ntlakwe-Bongwan fault and was felt along the eastern coast of South Africa. The effects of the event were assessed by conducting macroseismic investigations through interviewing members of the public and completing questionnaires. Analysis of all the collected macroseismic data showed that maximum shaking with Modiﬁed Mercalli Intensity of IV-V and V were experienced near the epicentral area as well as along the coast. Similar intensity values were also experienced in some parts of Durban about 100 km northeast of the epicentre. Shaking at such long distances was attributed to ground motion ampliﬁcation due to site effects. A fault plane solution of the event obtained using both the ﬁrst motion polarities and amplitude ratios showed normal faulting along a fault oriented in a strike of 185.0°, dipping at 68.0° with a rake of -52.0°. The strike of the focal mechanism solution aligns with the strike of the Ntlakwe-Bongwan fault zone and nearby faults suggesting that the event might have ruptured along one of the fracture segments of this fault mapped to the north. The obtained dip is also in line with a high angle fault comparable to that observed along the Ntlakwe-Bongwan fault. The epicentral region is highly faulted although the activity is not known.

Urticaria is a common skin disease which often causes impairment in the quality of life. The ideal drug for chronic urticaria would have antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory actions. Bepotastine besilate is a recently approved novel anti-allergic agent with multiple mechanisms of action; levocetirizine is a potent and selective second-generation H1 receptor antagonist used in the treatment of urticaria.

Aim

To compare the efficacy and safety of bepotastine besilate versus levocetirizine in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Methods

The study design is a randomised, open-label, parallel-group, prospective interventional study. The study subjects were randomly assigned to either of the two groups a and b, each group had 50 patients with chronic urticaria. Statistical analyses were performed using (SPSS, version 18) for all the variables. Chi-square test was used for comparison between categorical variables. An unpaired student’s t-test was done for quantitative variables.

Results

There was a significant decrease in mean urticaria activity score (P < 0.001), chronic urticaria quality of life (P < 0.001) and clinical global improvement (P < 0.001) in both the treatment groups but this improvement was higher in the bepotastine than in the levocetirizine group. There was no significant difference in the mean of absolute eosinophil count, C-reactive protein, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase from baseline to 4th week between the two study groups. Visual analogue scale showed statistically significant improvement from baseline to 4th week (P < 0.001) of follow-up but this increase was higher in levocetirizine group (0.64-4.24) than in bepotastine group (0.56-2.56)

Limitations

Blinding was not done. To assess the efficacy and safety of bepotastine, a larger study can be planned.

Conclusion

This study found that bepotastine is superior to levocetirizine and showed a statistically significant reduction in mean urticaria activity score 7, improved quality of life and clinical global improvement in patients with urticaria.

Published: January 2023

Background:

A giant prolactinoma extending to the suprasellar area and causing hydrocephalus may be life-threatening and should be treated promptly. A case of a giant prolactinoma with acute hydrocephalus that underwent transventricular neuroendoscopic tumor resection followed by cabergoline administration is presented.

Case Description:

A 21-year-old man had a headache lasting for about a month. He gradually developed nausea and disturbance of consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a contrast-enhanced lesion that extended from the intrasellar space to the suprasellar space and into the third ventricle. The tumor obstructed the foramen of Monro and caused hydrocephalus. A blood test showed marked elevation of prolactin (16,790 ng/mL). The tumor was diagnosed as a prolactinoma. The tumor in the third ventricle had formed a cyst, and the cyst wall blocked the right foramen of Monro. The cystic component of the tumor was resected using an Olympus VEF-V flexible neuroendoscope. The histological diagnosis was pituitary adenoma. The hydrocephalus improved rapidly and his consciousness became clear. After the operation, he was started on cabergoline. The tumor size subsequently decreased.

Conclusion:

Prompt partial resection of the giant prolactinoma by transventricular neuroendoscopy resulted in early improvement of hydrocephalus with less invasiveness, allowing subsequent treatment with cabergoline.

Transition Modelling of Land Use Land Cover Dynamics in Bardez Taluka of Goa-India (1991-2021)
Authors: Prabhu Gaonkar Venkatesh G. , Nadaf F.M.
Published: January 2023

In the age of global climate change, land use and land cover mapping help us to understand the vital modifications taking place in our environment. LULC mapping assumes great significance in planning, management of resources and keeping track of various programmes at different levels. The data acquired from the land use and land cover investigations are vital for policy formulation and sustainable development of our towns, cities and villages and also to track the disorganized growth of urban areas. Tourism is a tool for economic development in many developing countries of the world. The unplanned tourism growth has led to many ecological problems. This study makes an earnest effort to examine the LULC change using the transition model in the Bardez taluka, which is a well-known global tourist destination in Goa, India. The study has been investigated by using satellite imageries and GIS technologies have been used to analyse the changes occurring in LULC patterns for the years 1991, 2001 and 2021. The result indicates that the area under the built-up class has increased substantially by 11.12 sq. km. as a result of the rise in commercialization, tourism growth and tourism-related activities. Bardez taluka is known for some of the most breath-taking beaches in the world. During 2019-20, just before Covid-19, about 25, 33,234 domestic and 2, 74,840 foreign tourists visited the enchanting beaches of Bardez taluka. Land use classes such as residential, commercial and services, industrial, transportation and utilities also witnessed the growth in their land use and land cover classes whereas classes like agricultural land, coconut plantation, cashew plantation, barren land, DM and FDM forest land, open scrub and fairly dense scrub witnessed a negative change in their class values.
Behaviour of Precariously Balanced Rocks under Seismic Excitation
Authors: Premalatha K. , Angammal S. , Raja K.
Published: January 2023

A naturally occurring geological formation is precariously balanced rocks (PBRs) which might easily topple by an earthquake with severe ground motion. These rocks have been at the same place for many years. Strong ground accelerations have not occurred in the area for thousands of years as shown by the zone of unstable rocks. So, they are significant in both the engineering and seismological domains since they provide source of data for the maximum earthquake ground motion occurring at a site over the rock’s life time. The precariously balanced rock taken for this study is Krishna Butter Ball which is in Mahabalipuram, Chengalpattu district. In the numerical analysis, the peak ground acceleration at which the Krishna butter ball may topple is obtained. To identify the possible future earthquake, deterministic seismic hazard analysis has been carried out for Chengalpattu district. For this analysis, fault details have been obtained from Geological Survey of India. Arc map 10.1 version in Geographical Information System (GIS) platform is used for the interpretation of data like fault length, source (fault) to site (Mahabalipuram) distance from the fault details given by GSI. From the results of Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA), it is observed that the possible future earthquake may have the magnitude in the range of 6.03 to 7.9. The computed peak ground acceleration (PGA) value corresponding to those magnitude ranges from 0.027g to 0.49g. The maximum PGA value 0.49g corresponds to the Palar river fault which is just 28.53 km away from the Krishna butter ball. From the results of numerical analysis, the behavior of Krishna butter ball for three different PGA i.e. 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.15g has been observed. Newmark sliding block analysis said that the rock may topple at the PGA of 0.35g. From this it can be concluded that the toppling acceleration of Krishna butter ball is relatively low.

Authors: Bondar Dhananjay Vyankat , Ingle Vilas Sandipan
Published: January 2023

Herein, we are reporting synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of two novel Fe(II) and Mn(II) Schiff base metal complexes. These metal complexes were characterized by UV-Vis., FT-IR, NMR, LCMS, ESR and powder X- ray diffraction study. UV-Vis spectra resulted in more than 400 nm transition peak that confirms formation of metal ligand charge transfer. FT-IR confirms the formation of unsymmetrical Schiff base ligand and its complex obtained by using naphthol -OH and azomethine -C=N- group. 1H-NMR spectral data confirms the formation of Schiff base ligand and its complexes. From the XRD study, we approve that the formed Fe(II) and Mn(II)complexes show orthorombic crystal system. ESR spectra of Mn(II) complex suggested an octahedral geometrical arrangement surrounding to the central metal ion. Antimicrobial activity of Schiff base and their metal complexes was observed for two gram negative E. coli, P. aeruginosa and two-gram positive S. aureus and B. subtilis bacterial strains. Antifungal activity of Schiff base and their metal complexes was also observed for two fungi C. albicans and A. niger. It was observed that the formed complexes exhibit higher activity than the compared Schiff base.
