Pembatasan kegiatan masyarakat akibat penyebaran virus covid-19 telah mengubah olahraga di Indonesia sehingga memaksa para atlet untuk melakukan latihan mandiri di tempat tinggalnya masing-masing dengan program latihan yang dibuat oleh para pelatihnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan kapasitas aerobik, aspek kelincahan, dan daya tahan otot lokal atlet pencak silat sebelum dan sesudah masa latihan mandiri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskritptif dengan melibatkan 12 atlet pencak silat putra kategori tanding Kabupaten Karawang. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terjadi penurunan signifikan pada kapasitas aerobik (p= 0.025) dan performa kelincahan (0.042) namun pada daya tahan otot lokal tidak terdapat perbedaan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah terjadi penurunan pada kapasitas aerobik dan aspek kelincahan pada atlet pencak silat Kabupaten Karawang setelah masa latihan di tempat tinggalnya masing-masing akibat dari pemberlakukan pembatasan kegiatan masyarakat (PPKM), namun pada komponen daya tahan otot-otot lokal tidak terdapat perubahan.The sports activity of badminton and responses to changes in blood uric acid at productive age AbstractThis study aims to determine whether there was a response to changes in uric acid levels due to the physical activity of badminton. The design of this study is a quasi-experimental. The sample used in this study was eight respondents with certain criteria. Treat physical activity twice on different days with 4 measurements of uric acid levels. The method of this study is repeated measure analysis. When subjects are measured repeatedly, requiring fewer subjects per experiment, then repeated measures analysis can be used. The results showed that the treatment of badminton had a significant effect on changes in uric acid levels with a probability value of 0,038. These results were obtained by using the Greenhouse-Geisser test where the assumptions of normality and homogeneity were satisfied. From the marginal test results using pairwise comparisons, there was a significant difference in the average uric acid levels at 15 minutes after exercise and 9 hours the following day, where there was a decrease of 1.169 mg/dl. Badminton can reduce uric acid levels, which is indicated by a decrease of 0.15 mg/dl at 09.00 the next day compared to before exercise. Marginally, this decrease is not statistically significant, but regular badminton can be an option for physical activity for those who want to reduce uric acid levels.

Child life specialists (CLS) are trained providers who form part of a pediatric multidisciplinary and pediatric palliative care team. Their role is invaluable to mitigate the stress and anxiety of children during hospitalization. They may use various strategies in children like play, art and music therapy and pet therapy, to help self-express and cope with painful procedures.We present a brief narrative on CLS with a case of a 10- year- old Hispanic boy who had metastatic osteosarcoma.The case illustration is from a prior institute that one of the coauthors was associated with.
The Impact of Patient Characteristics on Their Attitudes Toward an Online Patient Portal for Communicating Laboratory Test Results: Real-World Study
Authors: Tossaint-Schoenmakers Rosian , Kasteleyn Marise , Goedhart Annelijn , Versluis Anke , Talboom-Kamp Esther
Published: September 2021

Background

Patient portals are promising tools to increase patient involvement and allow them to manage their health. To optimally facilitate patients, laboratory test results should be explained in easy language. Patient characteristics affect the usage of portals and the user satisfaction. However, limited research is available, specified for online communicating laboratory test results, on whether portal use and acceptance differ between groups.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of patient characteristics (gender, age, education, and chronic disease) on the self-efficacy and perceived usability of an online patient portal that communicates diagnostic test results.

Methods

We used the online-administered eHealth impact questionnaire (eHIQ) to explore patients’ attitudes toward the portal. Patients visiting the portal were asked to complete the questionnaire and to answer questions regarding gender, age, education, and chronic disease. The subscale “information and presentation” of the eHIQ assessed the usability of the patient portal and the subscale “motivation and confidence to act” assessed self-efficacy to determine whether patients were motivated to act on the presented information. Age, gender, education, and chronic disease were the determinants to analyze the effect on usability and self-efficacy. Descriptive analyses were performed to explore patient characteristics, usability, and self-efficacy. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed with age, gender, education, and chronic disease as determinants, and usability and self-efficacy as outcomes.

Results

The questionnaire was completed by 748 respondents, of which 428 (57.2%) were female, 423 (56.6%) were highly educated, and 509 (68%) had no chronic disease. The mean age was 58.5 years (SD 16.4). Higher age, high education, and asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were significant determinants for decreased usability; respectively, b=-.094, 95% CI -1147 to 0.042 (P<.001); b=-2.512, 95% CI -4.791 to -0.232 (P=.03); and b=-3.630, 95% CI -6.545 to -0.715 (P=.02). High education was also a significant determinant for a lower self-efficacy (b=-3.521, 95% CI -6.469 to -0.572; P=.02). Other determinants were not significant.

Conclusions

This study showed that the higher-educated users of a patient portal scored lower on usability and self-efficacy. Usability was also lower for older people and for patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The results portal is not tailored for different groups. Further research should investigate which factors from a patient’s perspective are essential to tailor the portal for different groups and how a result portal can be optimally integrated within the daily practice of a doctor.
Depression, Anxiety, and Daily Activity Among Adolescents Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-sectional Survey Study
Authors: Jolliff Anna , Zhao Qianqian , Eickhoff Jens , Moreno Megan
Published: September 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant changes to adolescents’ daily lives and, potentially, to their mental health. The pandemic has also disproportionately affected historically marginalized and at-risk communities, including people of color, socioeconomically disadvantaged people, people identifying as female, and youth.

Objective

This study aimed to understand differences in depression and anxiety among 2 groups of adolescents in the United States before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to examine demographic and daily activity variables associated with depression and anxiety.

Methods

Online surveys were distributed in 2019 and 2020. Demographic questions were asked at the time of enrollment, and included participants’ age, gender, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES). The 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire was used to assess symptoms of depression, and the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale was used to assess symptoms of anxiety. A total of 4 pandemic-specific daily activity questions were asked only of the pandemic group. Analyses of covariance compared depression and anxiety between prepandemic and pandemic groups. Demographic and lifestyle variables were included as covariates.

Results

The sample comprised a total of 234 adolescents, with 100 participants in the prepandemic group and 134 participants in the pandemic group. Within the pandemic group, 94% (n=126) of adolescents reported being out of school due to the pandemic, and another 85.8% (n=115) and 57.1% (n=76) were prevented from extracurricular activities and exercise, respectively. Higher depression was seen in the pandemic group, with a least-squares adjusted mean of 7.62 (SD 1.36) compared to 6.28 (SD 1.42) in the prepandemic group, although the difference was not significant (P=.08). There was no significant difference in anxiety scores between the 2 groups (least-squares adjusted means 5.52, SD 1.30 vs 5.01, SD 1.36; P=.48). Within the pandemic group, lower SES was predictive of anxiety, such that those in the pandemic group of lower SES were more anxious than their higher-SES peers (least-squares adjusted means 11.17, SD 2.34 vs 8.66, SD 2.16; P=.02). Within the pandemic group, being out of work or school and not partaking in extracurricular activities or exercise due to the pandemic were not associated with higher depression or anxiety scores.

Conclusions

In this study, neither being in the pandemic group nor experiencing changes in daily activity due to the pandemic was associated with higher depression or anxiety. However, we found that adolescents from lower SES backgrounds experienced significantly more anxiety during the pandemic than their more privileged peers. Both instrumental and mental health interventions for low-income adolescents are imperative.
Influence of Mass Media on Italian Web Users During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Infodemiological Analysis
Authors: Rovetta Alessandro , Castaldo Lucia
Published: September 2021

Background

Concurrently with the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has been facing a growing infodemic, which has caused severe damage to economic and health systems and has often compromised the effectiveness of infection containment regulations. Although this infodemic has spread mainly through social media, there are numerous occasions on which mass media outlets have shared dangerous information, giving resonance to statements without a scientific basis. For these reasons, infoveillance and infodemiology methods are increasingly exploited to monitor information traffic on the web and make epidemiological predictions.

Objective

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of Italian mass media on users’ web searches to understand the role of press and television channels in both the infodemic and the interest of Italian netizens in COVID-19.

Methods

We collected the headlines published from January 2020 to March 2021 containing specific COVID-19–related keywords published on PubMed, Google, the Italian Ministry of Health website, and the most-read newspapers in Italy. We evaluated the percentages of infodemic terms on these platforms. Through Google Trends, we searched for cross-correlations between newspaper headlines and COVID-19–related web searches. Finally, we analyzed the web interest in infodemic content posted on YouTube.

Results

During the first wave of COVID-19, the Italian press preferred to draw on infodemic terms (rate of adoption: 1.6%-6.3%) and moderately infodemic terms (rate of adoption: 88%-94%), while scientific sources favored the correct names (rate of adoption: 65%-88%). The correlational analysis showed that the press heavily influenced users in adopting terms to identify the novel coronavirus (cross-correlations of ≥0.74 to ≤0.89, P value <.001; maximum lag=1 day). The use of scientific denominations by the press reached acceptable values only during the third wave (approximately 80%, except for the television services Rai and Mediaset). Web queries about COVID-19 symptoms also appeared to be influenced by the press (best average correlation=0.92, P<.007). Furthermore, web users showed pronounced interest in YouTube videos of an infodemic nature. Finally, the press gave resonance to serious “fake news” on COVID-19, which caused pronounced spikes of interest from web users.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that the Italian mass media have played a decisive role in spreading the COVID-19 infodemic and addressing netizens’ web interest, thus favoring the adoption of terms that are unsuitable for identifying COVID-19. Therefore, the directors of news channels and newspapers should be more cautious, and government dissemination agencies should exert more control over such news stories.

Examining Systemic Racism in K-12 Education through a Decolonizing, Anti-Racist and Human Rights Lens
Authors: Khushal Shezadi
Published: September 2021

This paper seeks to explore how human rights, decolonizing and anti-racist education converge in combatting systemic racism, bias and discrimination in K-12 schooling and education. Colonization is a major part of our country’s history. Because colonization is present in day-to-day attitudes, actions, systems and institutions, not addressing it hinders the ability to make change and further perpetuates marginalization, which then becomes normalized. Understanding human rights is important because acknowledging and respecting one another is fundamental. Human rights are a set of principles concerned with equality, fairness, dignity and respect. Key elements of human rights are freedom, choice, power and voice. I do not propose to embed human rights as a standalone framework, but rather, to align human rights principles with ongoing decolonizing and anti-racist work.
ULOGA PARTIJA ZELENIH U POLITIČKOM SISTEMU SRBIJE (1990-2020)
Authors: Todorovic Lazic Jelena
Published: September 2021

Zelena stranka spada u grupu onih političkih stranaka u Srbiji koje su nastale u osvit obnove višestranačkog sistema. U međuvremenu, zelena partijska scena je bivala sve brojnija, međutim bez uticaja na formiranje izvršne vlasti. Partije Zelenih u Srbiji prešle su dug put podela i transformacija, pri čemu se može primetiti da se ne razlikuje mnogo od ostalih partija koje su se u posmatranom periodu (1990⸻2020), pojavljivale i nestajale na partijskoj sceni Srbije. I tu se završava svaka sličnost sa drugim partijama. Za razliku od većine razvijenih država Evrope čiji su građani odavno prepoznali važnost ekoloških pitanja, što se ogleda ne samo u nivou ekološke svesti već i u broju mandata koje partije Zelenih dobijaju na nacionalnim izborima, to u Srbiji, nažalost nije slučaj. Ne samo da raste broj partija Zelenih koje čine vladu u mnogim evropskim državama, nego i u Evropskom parlamentu raste broj njihovih poslanika (na izborima za Evropski parlament 2019. godine, koalicija Zelenih partija je izbila na četvrto mesto po snazi osvojivši 68 mandata, 20 mandata više nego 2014. godine). Paralelno sa ovim dešavanjima na evropskom nivou, partije Zelenih u Srbiji su najveći uspeh u pogledu broja mandata, osvojile na parlamentarnim izborima održanim 2016. godine, kada je partijama sa zelenim predznakom pripalo ukupno tri mandata. Cilj ovog rada jeste da pokuša da pruži odgovor na dva pitanja: prvo pitanje je kako i koliko su se partije Zelenih tokom tri decenije učešća na parlamentarnim (ali i republičkim izborima) menjale a drugo se logično nadovezuje na prvo – zašto još uvek nemaju bolje rezultate, imajući u vidu promenu sveukupne evropske paradigme o važnosti pitanja zaštite životne sredine, sa jedne strane, i neophodnost primene evropskih ekoloških propisa kao sastavnog dela Poglavlja 27, jednog od ključnih i najskupljih pregovaračkih poglavlja na putu ka članstvu u EU za koje Srbija još uvek nije blizu otvaranja.
Apropiaciones historiográficas en la dramaturgia argentina de la posdictadura: los casos Raúl Dargoltz y Juan Raúl Rithner
Authors: Tossi Mauricio
Published: September 2021

En el contexto de la posdictadura argentina, las dramaturgias de la Patagonia y el noroeste han actualizado el potencial estético del teatro histórico moderno, mediante una particular relectura del teatro documental. Así, determinadas obras de Raúl Dargoltz y Juan Raúl Rithner exponen modos específicos de apropiación de referentes historiográficos del norte y el sur del país. A pesar de sus fronteras geográficas, estas dramaturgias evidencian una solidaridad poética entre ambas regiones, al optar por la resignificación de procedimientos estéticos que, entre otros efectos, contribuyen al abordaje de interrogantes comunitarios sobre los sentidos del pasado reciente.
A Review on Chemical Synthesis and Density Enhancement in HAp / TiO2 Implants
Authors: Bhagabati Puja
Published: September 2021

Abstract: Owing to the excellent mechanical properties , good strength , low density and low toxicity in body fluid, most implants used are based on titanium and its alloys. They don't really, though, have high conductivity and osteo-integration. When using biocompatible and bioactive coatings, the compatibility and bioactivity of the implant material can be boosted. HAp, which is commonly evaluated for its chemical inertness and osteoinduction, is among the most used coating materials that meet the above requirements. For good clinical results, significant scientific findings, and a clear regulatory pathway, research and development of porous structures continues. Although not all applications suit a single size distribution or patterned structure, the majority of porous and textured biomaterials used in medical devices share the common feature of interlinking spaces that facilitate the transfer of nutrients and facilitate the differentiation and proliferation of cells.Safe graft interaction with the surrounding host cell decreases micromotion-induced inflammation and supports steady growth of fibrous content that facilitates healing and reduces disease. So far, many porogenous materials such as napthelene and camphor have been used to establish porosity. When exposed to high temperature, these porogenes will escape from the material that causes Inter communication pores in the material. Hydroxyapatite ( HAp) belongs to a biologically active moving charges which provides a solid link with the tissues of the surrounding body. One of this material 's drawbacks is that it has lower strength. Titanium oxide (TiO2) is a metal that belongs to the reinforcing agents material class and does not respond to the tissue surrounding it.TiO2's tensile characteristics is usually high and, as an implant unit, can be a good replacement. Efforts have been made to make a combination with better surface quality of both HAp / TiO2 biomaterial device and porosity HAp is commonly used as an implant for the reconstruction of bones, as a covering for metal substrates and as a drug-controlled release. Keywords: Hydroxyapatite, Biocompatibility, Bioactive, Bioinert, Porosity

Published: September 2021

Background: Abnormal left ventricular (LV) echocardiographic parameters
during non-systolic phase, with or without a diagnosis of heart failure,
is a common finding that can be easily diagnosed by intra-operative
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). However, its association with
duration of hospital stay after coronary artery bypass (CAB) is unknown.
Objective: To determine if Abnormal left ventricular (LV)
echocardiographic parameters during non-systolic phase is associated
with length of hospital stay after coronary artery bypass surgery (CAB).
Method: Prospective observational study at a single tertiary academic
medical center Result: Median time to hospital discharge was
significantly longer for subjects with abnormal left ventricular (LV)
echocardiographic parameters during non-systolic phase (9.1/IQR 6.6-13.5
days) than those with normal LV non-systolic function (6.5/IAR
5.3-9.7days) (P< 0.001). The probability of hospital discharge
was 34% lower (HR 0.66/95% CI 0.47-0.93) for subjects with abnormal LV
function even during non-systole despite a normal LV systolic function,
independent of potential confounders, including a baseline diagnosis of
heart failure Conclusions and Relevance: In patients with normal
systolic function undergoing CAB, non-systolic LV dysfunction is
associated with prolonged duration of postoperative hospital stay. This
association cannot be explained by baseline comorbidities or common
post-operative complications.
Spatial Variability of Snow Density and Its Estimation in Different Periods of Snow Season in the Middle Tianshan Mountains, China
Authors: FENG Ting , Zhu Shuzhen , Huang Farong , Hao Jiansheng , Mind’je Richard , Zhang Jiudan , Li Lanhai
Published: September 2021

Snow density is one of the essential properties to describe snowpack
characteristics. To obtain the spatial variability of snow density and
estimate it accurately in different periods of snow season still remain
as challenges, particularly in the mountains. This study analyzed the
spatial variability of snow density with in-situ measurements in three
different periods (i.e. accumulation, stable, melt period) of snow
seasons 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 in the middle Tianshan Mountains, China.
The performance of multiple linear regression model (MLR) and three
machine learning models (i.e. Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient
Boosting (XGB) and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM)) to simulate
snow density has been evaluated. It was found that the snow density in
melt period (0.27 g cm-3) was generally greater than that in stable
(0.20 g cm-3) and accumulation period (0.18 g cm-3), and the spatial
variability of snow density in melt period was slightly smaller than
that in other two periods. The snow density in mountainous areas was
generally higher than that in plain or valley areas, and snow density
increased significantly (p < 0.05) with elevation in the
accumulation and stable periods. Besides elevation, latitude and ground
surface temperature also had critical impacts on the spatial variability
of snow density in the middle Tianshan Mountains, China. In this work,
the machine learning model, especially RF model, performed better than
MLR on snow density simulation in three periods. Compared with MLR, the
determination coefficients of RF promoted to 0.61, 0.51 and 0.58 from
0.50, 0.1 and 0.52 in accumulation period, stable period and melt period
respectively. This study provide a more accurate snow density simulation
method for estimating regional snow mass and snow water equivalent,
which allows us to achieve a better understanding of regional snow
resources.

Published: September 2021

The results of a meta-analysis are more than just the reported odds
ratio, 95% confidence interval, and P value. Of equal importance is the
fine print of the study which should include assessment of risk of bias,
certainty in evidence, and heterogeneity in the individual point
estimates and confidence intervals. These areas all have influence on
the quality of the data in the analysis. Reading and understanding the
fine print is important.

Published: September 2021

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for 90 % of
oral cancers. If a necessary intervention before tumorigenesis could be
conducted, the current 60% 5-year survival rate would be expected to be
majorly improved. This fact motivates the search for developing a highly
sensitive and specific in vitro diagnostic method to conduct rapid OSCC
screening. Method: Serum samples from 819 volunteers, consisted of 241
healthy contrast (HC) and 578 OSCC patients, were collected, and their
metabolic profiles were acquired using conductive polymer spray
ionization mass spectrometry (CPSI-MS). Univariate analysis was used to
select significantly changed metabolite ions in the OSCC group compared
to the HC group. Identities of these metabolite ions were determined by
MS/MS experiments and reconfirmed at the tissue level by desorption
electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). The supporting
vector machine (SVM) algorithm was employed as the machine learning
model to implement the automatic prediction of OSCC. Results: Through
statistical analysis, 65 metabolites were selected as potential
characteristic marker candidates for serum OSCC screening. In situ
validation by DESI-MSI revealed that 8 out of top 10 metabolites showed
the same trends of change in tissue and serum. With the aid of machine
learning, OSCC can be distinguished from HC with an accuracy of 98.0 %
by cross-validation in the discovery cohort and 89.2% accuracy in the
validation cohort. Furthermore, orthogonal partial least
square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) also showed the potential for
recognizing OSCC stages. Conclusion: Using CPSI-MS combined with SVM, it
is possible to distinguish OSCC from HC in a few minutes with high
specificity and sensitivity, making this rapid diagnostic procedure a
promising approach for high-risk population screening.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes possibly because of dysregulated inflammatory responses. Glucose-regulating medications, such as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, and pioglitazone, are known to have anti-inflammatory effects that may improve outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In a multinational retrospective cohort study, we used the TriNetX COVID-19 Research Network of 56 large health care organizations to examine these medications in relation to the incidence of hospital admissions, respiratory complications, and mortality within 28 days after a COVID-19 diagnosis. After matching for age, sex, race, ethnicity, BMI, and significant comorbidities, use of GLP-1R agonists and/or pioglitazone was associated with significant reductions in hospital admissions (GLP-1R: 15.7% vs. 23.5%, risk ratio [RR] 0.67 [95% CI 0.57–0.79; P < 0.001]; pioglitazone: 20.0% vs. 28.2%; RR 0.71 [95% CI 0.54–0.93; P = 0.01]). Use of GLP-1R agonists was also associated with reductions in respiratory complications (15.3% vs. 24.9%, RR 0.62 [95% CI 0.52–0.73]; P < 0.001) and incidence of mortality (1.9% vs. 3.3%, RR 0.58 [95% CI 0.35–0.97]; P = 0.04). Use of DPP-4 inhibitors was associated with a reduction in respiratory complications (24.0% vs. 29.2%, RR 0.82 [95% CI 0.74–0.90]; P < 0.001), and continued use of DPP-4 inhibitors after hospitalization was associated with a decrease in mortality compared with those who discontinued use (9% vs. 19%, RR 0.45 [95% CI 0.28–0.72]; P < 0.001). In conclusion, use of glucose-regulating medications, such as GLP-1R agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, or pioglitazone, may improve COVID-19 outcomes for patients with T2DM; randomized clinical trials are needed to further investigate this possibility.
Norwegian Courts and Sámi Law
Authors: Ravna Øyvind
Published: September 2021

For decades, Norway has been viewed as a role model when it comes to safeguarding Sámi rights as an Indigenous people in the Nordic Countries. Among other reasons, this is because Norway is the only country with a Sámi population that has ratified ILO Convention No. 169. Also, Norway has adopted a particular land law where one of the purposes is to survey Sámi rights to land and water. It is also said that Norway has worked actively to ensure adoption of the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Norway has gained international recognition for this work, among others from former UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous People James Anaya, who in his report on the situation of the Sámi people in Norway, Sweden and Finland, stated that Norway, since passing the Finnmark Act 2005, has set an important example for the other Nordic countries (para 44).
Statlige reformer på rus- og psykisk helsefeltet – er virkemidlene tilstrekkelige?
Authors: Ramsdal Helge
Published: September 2021

This chapter discusses how reforms of services for people with mental health and addiction problems are designed, asking to what extent the steering instruments advanced can adequately ensure implementation in accordance with goals of integrated services at local levels of government. The theoretical approach relies on conceptualizations of “hard” and “soft” instruments and how the idea of a “new paradigm” to strengthen local service provision for these recipient groups is designed to make this happen. The conclusion is that while the instruments are compatible with the goals of the reforms, the funding system in particular is not precise enough to ensure forceful implementation processes at local levels of government.

Padi gogo adalah jenis padi yang bisa dibudidayakan di daratan tinggi atau lahan kering,  namun produktivitas padi gogo masih sangat rendah  yang disebabkan karena kekeringan, keasaman tanah, penyakit tanaman, mutu benih, dan daya adaptasi rendah. Maka dari  itu,  dilakukan usaha alternatif  untuk mengoptimalkan produktivitas padi gogo melalui  penyediaan bibit unggul yang mampu beradaptasi pada lingkungan yang beragam yaitu dengan penggunaan bioinvigorasi benih (Rhizobacter sp) dan biofungisida dari Ganoderma sp. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh teknik bioinvigorasi benih (Rhizobacteria sp) dan biofungisida dari Ganoderma sp dalam meningkatkan ketahanan dan mutu benih dan mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh teknik bioinvigorasi benih (Rhizobacteri sp) dan biofungisida dari Ganoderma sp untuk meningkatkan ketahanan dan mutu benih padi gogo. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juni-Agustus 2020 di Laboratorium Dasar Universitas Samudra. Experimental design menggunakan RAL  dengan 11 group percobaan dan 5 replika, sehingga jumlah total sampel yang digunakan adalah  605 benih padi gogo. Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis dengan ANOVA (signifikansi 5%) dan dilanjutkan dengan uji BNT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan biomatriconditioning serbuk bata merah (F7) dan arang sekam (F8) yang diintegrasikan dengan rhizobacter dan biofungisida dapat meningkatkan potensi tumbuh maksimum benih padi gogo sebesar 97,8 % dan 96,7% kecepatan tumbuh relatif benih padi gogo sebesar 95,5% dan 93,3% dan indeksi vigor benih sebesar 62,2 % dan 58,9% serta dapat menurunkan tingkat serangan patogen fusarium sp sebesar 2,2% dan 2,2%. Dengan demikian penggunaan medium biomatriconditioning dan serbuk arang sekam yang diintegrasikan dengan rhizobacter dan biofungisida dari Ganoderma sp dapat meningkatkan mutu dan ketahanan benih padi gogo

Published: September 2021

Manggis (Garcinia mangostana L.) merupakan buah tropis dan termasuk komoditas ekspor unggulan. Produksi manggis di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah dan tidak kontinu, karena beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhinya, salah satunya yaitu sifat pembungaan dan pembuahan manggis yang bersifat biennial bearing. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan upaya untuk menginduksi pembungaan manggis di luar musim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan teknologi yang efektif untuk induksi pembungaan manggis dengan pengunaan paklobutrazol dan pupuk. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Desa Mulangmaya, Kecamatan Kota Agung Timur, Kabupaten Tanggamus pada ketinggian 250 mdpl dari bulan September 2018 hingga April 2019. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan faktor tunggal yang terdiri dari 3 perlakuan yaitu: (K0) tanpa perlakuan, (K1) NPK Mutiara 1 kg/tanaman, paklobutrazol 2000 ppm, KNOӡ 20 g/l, dan (K2) pupuk kandang sapi 10 kg/tanaman, NPK Mutiara 1 kg/tanaman, paklobutrazol 2000 ppm, KNOӡ 20 g/l. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan analisis ragam dan dilakukan pemisahan nilai tengah dengan uji orthogonal kontras pada taraf nyata 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan paklobutrazol dan pupuk dapat menginduksi pembungaan manggis dibandingkan dengan tanpa perlakuan. Penambahan pupuk kandang sapi 10 kg/tanaman, NPK 1 kg/tanaman dengan pemberian paklobutrazol 2000 ppm dan KNOӡ 20 g/l lebih berpotensi mempercepat pembungaan manggis dengan selisih (5,80 %) dan meningkatkan jumlah buah per cabang sampel tertinggi dengan selisih (39,13 %) jika dibandingkan tanpa penambahan pupuk kandang.
