Problem utama yang terjadi selama ini adalah produktivitas peternak sapi di Blang Gurah yang belum memuaskan dan tata niaga yang belum baik. Salah satu hal yang melatarbelakanginya adalah terbatasnya ketersediaan pangan. Berdasarkan realitas tersebut, kegiatan pengabdian pengembangan teknologi tepat guna melalui program produksi silase dengan menggunakan bahan baku limbah pertanian penting untuk dilakukan pelatihan dan sosialisasi. Selain itu, sebagai daerah yang masyaraktnya terdampak covid 19, pilihan untuk melakukan produksi silase bukan hanya memudahkan pakan untuk para peternak tradisional, namun juga dapat menjadi terbukanya lapangan kerja baru bagi masyarakat. Program kegiatan ini juga menjadi pengayaan kepada masyarakat bagaimana membangun komitmen dan kesadaran bersama tentang pemanfaatan limbah rumahan dan limbah pertanian yang selama ini terkesan tidak memiliki nilai manfaat. Pengetahuan atas proses pembuatan pakan silase penting diketahui oleh masyarakat Desa Blang Gurah yang melakukan kegiatan beternak khususnya dan masyarakat luas secara umum. Kondisi ini menjadi penting karena beberapa hal: 1) bahan dasar pembuatan pakan (limbah pertanian) mudah didapat di wilayah Balng Gurah karena memang wilayah tersebut berada dalam sistem sosial budaya yang agrikultural; 2) pakan silase dapat meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas hewan ternak karena mengandung banyak nutrisi; 3) pembuatan silase mudah dan murah sehingga sangat berpeluang besar dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan peternak; 4) di wilayah tersebut juga ada penyuluh yang dapat diajak bekerjasama untuk saling sharing pengetahuan terkait hal tersebut; 5) pakan silase dapat disimpan untuk jangka waktu yang lama sehingga ketika musim paceklik pakan datang, sislase dapat menjadi pilihan alternatif dalam pemenuhan pakan ternak; dan 6) menjadi solusi bagi peternak yang tidak memiliki banyak waktu untuk menggembala. Akhirnya, nasib akan berubah sejalan dengan kemauan dan komitmen kita untuk selalu berusaha mengubahnya. Dan salah satu usaha itu adalah mengimplementasikan ilmu yang didapat dalam kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini.

Published: October 2022

Las especies neotropicales del género Favolus (Polyporaceae, Agaricomycetes) son importantes ecológica y económicamente, causando una pudrición blanca de la madera y siendo utilizadas como alimentos en diferentes regiones. Hasta el momento, no se reportan estudios sobre cultivo, domesticación y distribución de Favolus rugulosus, una especie recientemente descrita para el Neotrópico. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron: evaluar el crecimiento de micelio y basidiomas bajo diferentes condiciones nutricionales y conocer mejor la distribución de F. rugulosus en Colombia. Se revisaron 61 materiales depositados como Favolus en el herbario HUA, solo seis corresponden con F. rugulosus y hasta el momento esta especie solo está reportada en el departamento de Antioquia. Se realizó un aislamiento a partir de un espécimen de F. rugulosus colectado en Medellín (Colombia). La identificación se realizó mediante estudios morfológicos y moleculares utilizando el marcador ITS. Se encontró que el agar glucosa oxitetraciclina fue el medio de cultivo más adecuado para el crecimiento micelial y que el cultivo de los basidiomas fue viable en los dos sustratos evaluados. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la eficiencia biológica alcanzada en ambos sustratos.

Authors: Okedokun O. W  , Kamaldeen O. S  , Sulaiman M. E
Published: October 2022

This work had been carried out with the aim of evaluating the effect of chitosan-based edible coating on the proximate parameters (moisture; crude protein; fibre; fat; ash and carbohydrate contents) and essential minerals (Na; Fe; Mg; Zn; K; and Ca) of smoked and coated clarians gariepinus. Wholesome catfish was purchased at Yankura fish market in Kano, Nigeria, and transported immediately in water to FCAPT. Kano; Food Science Laboratory for processing and smoking using a newly designed and fabricated improved smoking kiln. Samples of the catfish were then coated with formulated chitosan-based edible polymer using a dip method of application and re-dried with a laboratory oven drier at 35oC for five hrs. Samples were then subjected to proximate parameters and essential elements analysis. The result of proximate parameters showed that there was an increase in moisture, ash, fiber, and carbohydrate contents from 9.73±0.8%, 4.04±0.6%, 3.50±0.5%, and 3.08±0.5 respectively before coating, to 10.27±1.2%, 6.48±1.3%, 4.33±0.6%, and 4.58±0.6% respectively after coating. There was no significant (p<0) difference in crude protein and fat content (67.45±11 and 7.42±0.3 respectively) before coating and (67.05±0.8% and 7.49±0.3% respectively) after coating. The result of the essential minerals component showed that there was no significant difference in the values of zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium, and sodium for both coated and uncoated smoke fish. Only Ca shows a significant increase in the value of coated compared with uncoated smoke catfish. It was concluded that chitosan coating of catfish preserves its nutritional qualities and it can also be a means of fortifying the fish with other minerals to improve its nutritional qualities.

Authors: Amira Abd El Raouf  , Shenouda M Girgis
Published: October 2022

Increasing use of mobile phones in daily life with increasing adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation cause many concerns about their effects on human health. This study was designed to investigate the effect of exposure to a 900-MHz electromagnetic waves (EMW) produced by mobile phones on nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), protein content, kidney function (levels of urea and creatinine) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA level) in rats before, during and after pregnancy periods and their offspring. A total of 32 Wistar albino female rats were divided into 4 equal groups (8 each): 1- unexposed (control group); 2- pre-pregnancy (2 h/d for 21 d) EMW-exposed group; 3- during pregnancy (2 h/d for 21 d) EMW-exposed group; 4- during and after pregnancy (2 h/d for each period) EMW-exposed group. Dams, new born and young rats (40-50 g) of all groups were sacrificed and kidney tissues were harvested for determination of parameters under investigation. A high significant decrease in DNA, RNA and protein levels were found of all periods in exposed groups compared to control. No difference in protein, DNA and RNA content in new born and young rats of pre-pregnancy EMW exposed rats, however these parameters were increased significantly in new born and young rats of both during and during and after pregnancy exposed groups compared to control. There was no difference in new born kidney function and oxidative stress of all exposed groups compared to control. However, these parameters were increased significantly in young rats of both during and during and after pregnancy exposed groups as well in all exposed groups compared to control. In conclusion, the EMW propagated from mobile phones have harmful effects on DNA, RNA and protein content as well kidney function and oxidative stress of exposed rats and their offspring. Therefore, people may use various antioxidants and avoid exposure to EMW for a long periods to prevent the potential adverse effects of exposure to EMW.

Increased blood pressure (BP) damages multiple organs. Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of end-organ require regular, accurate BP measurement. BP was predominantly recorded using the mercury-based-sphygmomanometer. Recently, oscillometric-based devices have been invented and are commonly used worldwide. BP measurement methods are broadly divided into Office-based and out-of-clinic (home). The patient at home or workplace conducts home BP measurement, either intermittently (Non-ambulatory BP monitoring [NABPM]) or continuously (Ambulatory BP Monitoring [ABPM]). Despite the variety of BP measurement methods, the ABPM method is the best method of BP recording, especially in unstable (liable) BP readings. NABPM is conducted less frequently in the nighttime, whereas ABPM is conducted day and night and gives more frequent stable BP records. In ABPM, the mean of the measurements is automatically calculated and stored for later use or sent directly to the physician. Furthermore, some people may have an increase in BP at nighttime or loss of the dipping BP character, which increases the risks of high BP complications. Hence, in this comprehensive review, we will discuss the different methods of BP recording, their advantages and disadvantage, and their differences. Scopus, EMBASE, PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar were searched for the related reviews and original articles cited for BP measurement methods and techniques.

The effects of soil continuous cultivation and soil texture on some of its properties, electrical conductivity, total porosity, and calcium carbonate content and soil penetration resistance. Six samples of soil material for a layer of 0-30 cm were collected from three different texture sites are Clay, Loam and Loamy Sand in Basra Governorate for three sites Abi al-Khasib, Karma and Zubair. Three of these samples represented the treatment of soil continuous cultivation, soil planted with alfalfa crop (Medicago sativa) for 7 consecutive years, and the other three samples from the same sites for uncultivated soil with three replications for each sample. The results showed a decrease in the values of electrical conductivity, calcium carbonate, soil penetration resistance, and an increase in soil porosity values in cultivated soils. The lowest EC values were 4.1, 5.3 and 6.2 dS. m-1 for soils with textures Loamy sand, Loam and Clay, respectively, and for CaCO3 of 182.3 g. kg-1 in Loamy sand, 266.7 g. kg-1 and 310 g. kg-1 for Loam and Clay soils, respectively, and for resistance to penetration of 550 KN.m-1 for clay soils. While it was 620 KN.m-1, and 714 KN.m-1, for loam soil and loamy sand soil, respectively, compared to uncultivated soil. While the soil porosity values increased for cultivated soils compared with uncultivated soils and the values of 43%, 48.53% and 53.4%, for soils with textures Loamy sand, Loam and Clay respectively, And for the average weighted diameter of 0.2537 mm, 0.2817 mm, 0.3640 mm, for soils with textures Loamy sand, Loam and Clay, respectively.
Treatment of male hypogonadism with clomiphene citrate- where do we stay?
Authors: Andre Emanuilov Manov  , Elizabeth Jane  Benge
Published: October 2022

Clomiphene citrate (CC) was developed in 1956 as a selective estrogen receptor modulator and was subsequently used in clinical medicine starting in 1967, to treat female infertility. CC has also been used off-label to treat male infertility and hypogonadal symptoms. In this brief review, we will examine and summarize the available literature on CC and assess its efficacy in the treatment of male hypogonadism. We performed an extensive review of the literature using the PubMed search engine. Our goal was to compare the FDA-approved treatment for male hypogonadism, testosterone, with CC treatment for male hypogonadism. We accessed and reviewed 29 relevant research articles. Our review revealed that CC increased serum testosterone levels, similar to the serum testosterone levels observed following testosterone gel application. We also found support for our contention that CC improves hypogonadal symptoms. An important difference between CC and testosterone is that CC appeared to preserve sperm production and maintain fertility. This is an important feature of CC treatment, as fertility is frequently desired in patients with secondary/tertiary hypogonadism. We also compared the safety of CC to testosterone and found that CC had a similar safety profile. In summary, CC appeared to be a suitable therapy for patients with male factor infertility and associated hypogonadal symptoms. However, based on our review, we found that more research is required to further examine CC’s effectiveness for the treatment of these conditions.
The biblical blueprint for marriage and the predicament of polygamy: A narrative review
Authors: Felix Chukwuma Aguboshim
Published: October 2022

Polygamy is widespread in Africa, being highest in Burkina Faso (36%), Mali (34%), Gambia (30%), Niger (29%), and Nigeria (28%). 83.39% of traditional societies in the world practice polygyny, while 16.14% practice monogamy. Significant evidence that the Bible presents monogamy as God's blueprint or original plan for marriage exists. Despite this evidence, numerous investigations revealed that the percentage of young people who find polygamy morally acceptable has risen from 9% to 34%, with about 8% of Christians in Nigeria living in polygamous households. This study calls for narrative review, analysis, and synthesis of vast works of literature to delineate important information, insights, symbolism, purpose, and characteristics of God's plan for marriage, in line with The King James Version Bible (2022) adopted as the conceptual framework for this study. The purpose of this study is to present marital monogamy, marriages involving only two people, male and female, as the biblical blueprint for marriage, and to provide a biblical platform for godly inspiration and instruction in righteousness towards adopting godly monogamous marriage as against the numerous ungodly marriages. This study delineated how the Bible can significantly and positively influence choice toward monogamous marriage while x-raying the dilemma of polygamy. The researcher extracted some documentaries from The King James Version Bible and peer-reviewed articles within the last five years from electronic databases, engaging some keywords such as "God's blueprint for marriage", "Polygamous marriages", and "Bible accounts of Polygamy Vs. Monogamy", "Choosing between Polygamy and Monogamy", etc. Results show that God's original intention or blueprint for marriage, according to the Bible was monogamy which encompasses marital monogamy, social monogamy, sexual monogamy, and genetic monogamy, all overlapping. Results also show that God allowed divorce and polygamy because of the hardness of men's hearts, although neither was part of His original plan for marriage. Results and insights from this study may have a positive social impact on marriage, research and innovations, and on the significance, symbolism, purpose, and benefits of monogamous marriage in preference to polygamy.

Perinatal experiences of resettled Syrian migrant women in Greece-a qualitative study
Authors: Athina Ntager  , Antigoni Sarantaki
Published: October 2022

Background: Many women report that their privacy in hospitals was not respected and that their needs were totally ignored. A woman’s perinatal experience can be determinant for a woman’s life, introducing her into maternity either in a gentle way or causing her trauma. These findings can be used to improve health services in Greece. Aim: To identify the positive and negative life experiences of refugee women giving birth in Greece. Method: A qualitative interpretive design was used. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 14 Syrian women. The majority were refugees that gave birth in Greece and only four with birthing experience in both Syria and Greece. Data were detailed interpreted and analyzed thematically. Results: “Numerous people were getting in and out of the room” emerged as one of the dominant themes, together with the communication difficulty due to the lack of translators. Women used the phrase “The main problem was the language’’ together with “I couldn’t ask for anything’’. Last but not least, women stated that the staff had racist behavior ‘’ Some of them, weren’t nice to me, they were racists’’. Another woman described “They made me feel inferior wearing my handkerchief’’. In addition to that, from this statement, it emerges that their religion had not been respected. Conclusion: This study discusses the experiences that Syrian migrant women have to go through in public hospitals, due to lack of privacy during their stay, communication problems as well as staff’s racist behavior. Overall, all these reasons lead to a traumatic experience and a degraded healthcare system.

Authors: Joshua Teofilus Sutadji
Published: October 2022

Hyperuricemia can be the initial sign of health problem. In recent years, there is increasing in prevalence of hyperuricemia which become global health concern. Hyperuricemia is defined as a condition when there is an increasing in serum urate above normal level. This condition usually asymptomatic and clinical sign doesn’t appear. However, hyperuricemia later can manifest symptomatic condition such as gout or another health problem related to increasing levels of uric acid. The elevating of uric acid levels can be caused by the dietary intake of foods which contain high levels of purine, disruption in catabolism of nucleic acid, problem in excretion, and many other factors. There are already several pharmacological agents used to lower uric acid levels. Still, as development in herbal medicine, Moringa oleifera is also known to have an anti-hyperuricemic effect which can lower uric acid levels in the body serum. This article aims to review the potential effect of Moringa oleifera in lowering uric acid levels so the prevalence of hyperuricemia and further health problem related to increasing in uric acid levels can be prevented.

Authors: Syifa Rana Tsary
Published: October 2022

Every human being has a natural right that is inherent in him called Human Rights (HAM), which gives freedom of thought, opinion, and action to everyone. The idea of ​​human rights was born from events in the past when a physicist coined the Heliocentric Theory. Departing from the thought of Nicholaus Copernicus, finally, a revolution for freedom of speech emerged. This study examines the problem of how the history of the development of the revolution in the idea of ​​human rights in the world and how to enforce human rights in Indonesia? This study uses a normative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, while the legal materials used are secondary legal materials, namely library research. The result of this research is that the idea of ​​human rights stems from the thought of the Heliocentric Theory, although initially, Nicholaus Copernicus had problems because he was considered to be against the teachings of the Roman Church, in the end, the theory that was echoed was accepted, and since then freedom of opinion has been considered. Meanwhile in Indonesia, human rights already have an important position contained in the legislation, but its enforcement has not been fully successful, until now there are still cases of past human rights violations that have not been resolved.

Mosquito-borne diseases are illnesses caused by the transmission of viruses, parasites, and protozoa to humans by mosquito vectors. Mosquitoes spread various diseases, including, dengue fever, malaria, chikungunya, West Nile fever, Zika and yellow fever. Bacterial DNA and cellular proteins were shown to help produce AgNPs, with bacterial DNA acting as a stabilising agent and cellular proteins acting as both a reducing and stabilising agent. As a result, the bacterial lysate, which contains a lot of DNA and proteins, could help in the creation of AgNPs that are larvicidal against mosquito larvae. Therefore, this work was aimed to study the larvicidal effect of synthesized AgNPs by Bacillus cereus VCRC 641 cell lysate. The present study demonstrates the larvicidal efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) produced by Bacillus cereus VCRC 641 against the diseases-causing mosquitoes Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Anopheles stephensi. Silver nano particles were synthesized using Bacillus cereus to enhance its mosquitocidal efficacy. The level of toxicity in the AgNPs synthesized B. cereus was increased 117 fold in comparison with the cell lysate.

Published: October 2022

Background: Few studies have evaluated the relationship between the presence of PDA and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels; however, the results are conflicting. The present study aimed to compare blood cTnT levels among preterm neonates with and without PDA. Methods: A case-control study was conducted at Iranian Hospital in 2021. For all included neonates, echocardiography examination was performed on admission time. According to the clinical presentation and echocardiography findings, preterm neonates were divided into the case (with PDA) and control (without PDA) groups. A blood test was also performed for all participants to detect levels of plasma cTnT. Finally, the levels of plasma cTnI (ng/ml) were compared between the case and control groups. Results: Totally 36 neonates (12 with PDA and 24without PDA) aged 1.972±0.696 days entered the study. The mean neonatal Troponin T level was 116.352±83.470 ng/ml. The results have shown no significant difference between the groups regarding the means of Troponin level (124.506±113.138 and 112.275±66.546; P=0.476). The results have indicated that there were significant and inverse correlations between the cTnT level with the 1st (Correlation Coefficient= -0.450; P=0.006) and 5th (Correlation Coefficient=-0.532; P=0.001) minutes Apgar Scores. This relationship was also observed between the mean of TnT level and maternal gravidity (Correlation Coefficient= -0.356; P=0.033). Conclusion: The results of the present study delineate no correlation between the presence of PDA and increased blood cTnT levels in preterm neonates. While low Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes as well as maternal gravidity could significantly change the levels of cardiac troponin T levels.

This can also be used as part of the social change of society in the current era to reduce the effects of global warming, and reduce the impact of greenhouse gases, especially in urban areas, especially those derived from exhaust gas expenditures in the form of carbon emissions containing pollutants. This change in the use of 2-wheeled electric vehicles also helps in the formation of social changes for the community and the environment to benefit from environmental conditions and healthier air quality.

Diagenetic processes in carbonate formations result in rapid spatial variation in rock fabric (i.e., spatial distribution of rock components) and complex pore structure. Therefore, assessment of petrophysical properties, necessary for efficient exploitation of hydrocarbon-bearing carbonate reservoirs, can be challenging. Estimation of the aforementioned properties requires integration of multi-scale and multi-physics data that captures rock fabric at multiple scales. Image logs offer high-resolution information of the rock fabric and its variation. However, this information is typically employed qualitatively, especially in carbonate formations. The objectives of this paper include (a) quantifying the visual content of high-resolution image logs through computation of image-based rock-fabricrelated features, (b) integrating conventional well logs with image-based features and core measurements for rock classification. First, we conducted joint inversion of well logs to estimate volumetric concentration of minerals and total porosity. Then, we characterized the pore structure of the evaluated intervals fitting a multimodal Gaussian model to the available nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) transverse relaxation (T2) distribution logs and core measurements. Next, we employed image analysis techniques to capture variations of rock fabric in the form of greyscale and textural features. We integrated compositional, pore structure, and image-based rock fabric related features for rock classification. Finally, we evaluated various strategies to select the adequate number of rock classes using the available data on the evaluated depth interval. We applied the proposed workflow to one well intersecting a complex carbonate formation. We demonstrated that the extracted image-based rock fabric features and the pore structure features from NMR T2 distribution captured the complex pore structure and rapid spatial variation of rock fabric observed in the evaluated depth interval. We honored spatial variation in rock fabric at pore- and log-scale by selecting the adequate number of rock classes using log and core NMR T2 distribution data, image-based features, and petrophysical properties of the evaluated depth interval. The number and location of obtained integrated rock classes honored rock fabric variation at both the coreand log-scale. A unique contribution of the proposed workflow is the quantification of the visual content of image logs and their integration with core-/log-scale measurements, improving rock classification and potentially formation evaluation efforts by accounting for rock fabric variation at different scales and honoring various physical measurements, which is not attainable through conventional rock typing techniques. This becomes specifically important in carbonate formations, with complex pore structure and rapid variation in rock fabric.

The Released Wells Initiative is a joint industry project administrated and organized by the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association and funded by the majority of companies operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The project is unique on a worldwide scale, as it will analyze every drill cutting sample from every exploration and appraisal well in the Norwegian national archive. The archive contains about 700,000 samples of unwashed ditch cuttings from more than 1900 wells. Each sample is washed and dried according to a consistent automated procedure, and preserved both in a digital format, using high-resolution white light (WL) and UV (UV) photography and X Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The cleaned samples from all the wells are available for future analysis. The eighty most recently released wells were subjected to an extended suite of measurements: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), automated mineralogy (QEMSCAN), Infrared spectroscopy (IRS) and total organic carbon measurement (TOC). We present details of the study design, sample preparation and analysis process. The extended set of observations are not selected based on the results of other measurements. The data set is therefore an independent source of information void of conditional dependencies between measurement types. We discuss the possibilities that the dataset offers and present results from analysis that have been made. In a set of repeated measurements, we find a high degree of consistency. The correlation between the two samples sets is found to be above 0.95 for XRF, XRD, QEMSCAN, IRS, and for the average photon count in white light images. For the UV images the correlation is lower, however typically these UV images have a low photon count. In a case example we show how the XRF data contribute to understanding the provenance of the Brent Group in a region of the North Sea. We show how the study design enables methods of advanced analytics, where the extended measurement set can be used to train predictive models. In our data analysis we utilize boosting threes to predict e.g., XRD mineralogy from XRF data. We report an out of sample error of 4.5%-6.9%, for quartz, total clay and carbonates. We further discuss opportunities and challenges with the dataset. The dataset provides opportunities to aid interpretation and future decision making, with impacts on drilling, completion, geological interpretation, modelling, production and future projects (including carbon capture and storage). The project is also unique in terms of openness as the complete data set will be released to the public in 2024.
