Relationship between chest mobility and angle of spinal curvateres in the saggital plane
Authors: Bibro Marta , Laskowska Łucja , Ziemba Anita , Jankowicz-Szymańska Agnieszka
Published: July 2020

Aim: Faulty body postures is a significant problem affecting the reduction of quality of health and life in every age group. Currently, more and more attention is paid to the importance of respiratory muscles, and above all the diaphragm in stabilizing posture. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between selected features of the position of the torso and chest mobility. Basic procedures: 33 young adults were included in the study. Body weight and height were measured, BMI was calculated and body weight status was determined. The chest circumferences at rest, maximum inspiration and maximum exhalation at three heights was measured. Three-dimensional torso settings were evaluated using the Zebris Pointer Ulrtrasound System. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The majority of examined women had normal body weight, while excessive body weight occurred in nearly 1/3 of men. The most significant difference in the position of the torso was the greater depth of lumbar lordosis in women. A significant correlation was found between the lumbar spine position and the chest circumferences. The results indicate a decrease in chest mobility along with an increase in the depth of lumbar lordosis. Conclusions: Respiratory kinesitherapy should be an important part of the process of correction of spinal shape in sagittal plane.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Its Relationship with Health Risk Factors Among University Students: A Comparison Between Iran and Italy
Authors: Karimi Niloofar , Dabidi Roshan Valiollah , Esposito Fabio
Published: July 2020

Background: Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF) and its associated modifiable and non-modifiable health risk factors are very important in clinical studies. Objectives: This study aimed to compare health risk factors affecting CRF between Iranian and Italian male and female exercise science students. The correlation between VO2max and these factors was also evaluated. Methods: The sample consisted of 87 sport science students from the University of Milan (25 males and 17 females) and the University of Mazandaran (20 males and 25 females) aged 23.69 ± 1.95 years. The level of Physical Activity (PA) and body composition indices were obtained as health risk factors. Then, CRF was assessed by the Bruce test. Rate Pressure Product (RPP), blood pressure, and Heart Rate (HR) were measured before, in the end, and six minutes after the end of the test. Results: Statistical analyses revealed significant differences in RPP, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) during exercise, resting SBP, and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) between Iranian and Italian males and significant differences in Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) and body fat percentage between Iranian and Italian females (P < 0.05). The relationships between VO2max and resting RPP, resting HR, heart rate recovery, step counts, and vigorous PA were significant in all groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions: As an assessment of VO2max, CRF is associated with hemodynamics and health risk factors. Age, sex, ethnicity, lifestyle, and culture of people in different geographical regions can affect health risk factors.

Published: July 2020

Background: Renal failure may directly or indirectly influence pulmonary ventilation. Since hemodialysis can decrease the extra liquids, improvement in pulmonary function by decreasing liquids in the lungs is expected. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of acute hemodialysis on spirometry parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with end-stage renal disease who referred for hemodialysis to Ali Ibn Abitaleb Hospital of Zahedan City during 2016. Patient data including age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) were collected. Spirometry was performed one hour before and after hemodialysis, and spirometry parameters including vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% FVC (FEF 25% - 75%) were measured. Results: A total number of 50 patients (30 men) completed spirometry. In men, there were a significant increase in FEV1 (mean difference = 0.217; P = 0.003) and FVC (0.298; P = 0.027) and a significant decrease in FEV1/FVC (-4.153; P = 0.038) after hemodialysis. In women, there was no significant change in the means of spirometry parameters. In addition, no significant relationship was found between PFT changes and BMI, weight change, or ultrafiltration volume. Conclusions: Our results showed that hemodialysis may improve pulmonary function tests in men. Studies with larger cohorts of patients are needed to derive valid effect estimates of hemodialysis on spirometry parameters with considering the role of chronic kidney diseases, various underlying diseases, different hemodialysis methods, and other related confounders.
L'exploració del pla horitzontal: nous espais públics a les ciutats catalanes
Authors: Fortià Josep M.
Published: July 2020

Aquest document analitza els últims espais públics creats a les ciutats

espanyoles després dels anys vuitanta (1981-1992). El seu objectiu és

la recerca dels criteris i pautes d'intervenció que marcaran les directrius

per als espais públics de la ciutat occidental del segle XXI.

Aquest estudi posa en discussió l'aparició a Barcelona a finals del

segle XX d'una nova escola d’espai públic vinculada a les noves

tendències abstractes basades en el paisatge com a suport, la

fragmentació i la renúncia a un espai públic representatiu, la

incorporació de l'art, l'exploració de possibilitats icòniques i

metafòriques de l’espai, l'experimentació amb nous materials i el

replanteig de la funció dels elements vegetals.

This paper discusses the last public spaces created in Spanish

cities after the 80`s. Its objective is to search for the criteria and

patterns of intervention that would be the guidelines for the

public spaces of the western city of the XXI century.

This study analyses the appearance in Barcelona during the

late XX century of a new school of public spaces linked to the

new abstract trends based on the landscape as support, the

fragmentation and renouncing of a representative public space,

the incorporation of art, the exploration of iconic and metaphoric

possibilities of space the experimentation with materials and the

rethinking of the role of the vegetal elements.
Variables del espacio público contemporáneo: espacio público y arquitectura
Authors: Navas Lorenzo Francisco Daniel
Published: July 2020

¿Es el espacio público contemporáneo una extensión del desarraigo

colectivo de los términos particulares del espacio físico actual? O es

un nuevo concentrador/emisor del “interface” urbano. La experiencia

proyectual presente nos indica que cerca estamos de dibujar los

contornos de estos nuevos condensadores urbanos -esta nueva alma

que se funde con la antigua- y lo extremadamente fácil que es , por otra

parte, caer en el vacío desterritorializado del espacio genérico.

Repetición de paradigmas comunes adheridos al repertorio de formas i

materiales de consenso. Una particular biblioteca de objetos neutros.

El espacio público es en gran medida el depositario de la memoria

viva de la ciudad. La foto de un instante de lo que nos identifica -entre

pasado y futuro- , en un ejercicio de proyección, transparencia y salud

urbana. También es, una reescritura de los escenarios sociales.

Intersección, fricción, condensación, persistencia, intensidad,

actividades y significados que determinan la complejidad de la ciudad

contemporánea.

Soporte material de la legibilidad de la ciudad. Cada vez más,

elemento nodal de la red de conexiones neuronales que dibujan el

espacio humano adscrito a definidos lugares de referencia.

¿Molde o resultado material de la presión ejercida sobre los

espacios de fricción intensa? Más allá de su carácter de tránsito, vemos

como la ciudad de los flujos se apropia sin dificultad de vacíos intensos.

Espacios robados a la compacidad de la ciudad moderna.

Is contemporary public space an extension of the collective

rootlessness of the current physical environment? Or otherwise it

is a new concentrator/transmitter of the urban interface. The

ongoing design experience shows that we are near to outline

those new urban condensers –this new soul that merges with the

old one- and it also shows how extremely easy it is, on the other

hand, to fall in the no man void of the generic space. A repetition

of common paradigms added to the repertory of consensual

forms and materials. A particularly library of neutral objects.

Public space mainly hosts the lively memory of the city. The

instant picture of what identifies ourselves –between past and

future-, in an exercise of projection, transparency and urban

health. It is also a rewriting of social scenarios. Intersection,

friction, condensation, persistence, intensity, activities and

meanings which determine the complexity of the contemporary

city. It is the material support of the city legibility. More and

more, a nodal element within the network of neuronal

connections which sketch the human space associated to well

defined places of reference.

Cast or physical result of the pressure exercised over the

spaces of intense friction? Beyond its transit nature, we can see

how the city of flows appropriates without difficulty the intense

voids. Spaces stolen to the compact nature of the modern city.
2 barrios, 2 planes, 2 apuestas: recuperación de barrios de urbanización marginal en Barcelona
Authors: Giraldo Patiño Laura , Peremiquel Lluch Francisco
Published: July 2020

Los Planes Especiales de Reforma Interior formulados para los barrios de

Sant Josep en Sant Viçens dels Horts y Torre Baró en Barcelona, representan

dos maneras de abordar la mejora de un barrio de urbanización marginal.

Treinta años después de su formulación, compararlos y evaluar su impacto

real permite extraer conclusiones sobre la postura que tomaron y la metodología

que emplearon. Hoy la marginalidad urbanística sigue siendo un tema

no sólo vigente sino incluso urgente en países en vía de desarrollo, por lo que

poder disponer referencias contrastables sobre la aplicación de determinadas

estrategias puede ser de gran utilidad.

The Special Internal Reformation Plans that were drawn up for Sant Josep, Sant

Viçens dels Horts and Torre Baró, Barcelona, represent two different ways to approach a marginal urbanization neighborhood. However, the fact that both of

them were approved and their execution was started in the 80’s decade allows

evaluating today, 30 years later, their impact on each neighborhood. Moreover, it

also allows inferring conclusions regarding the methodology used, and the stance

taken on such neighborhoods. Thus, it represents a possibility of major importance

if it considered that, to date, there is scarce literature related to this matter, and

that marginality still is not only a prevailing subject, but an urgent issue in developing countries
La obtención de espacio público en la trama consolidada del Eixample: un proceso urbanístico continuado de más de 30 años
Authors: Pazos Ortega Teresa
Published: July 2020

Este artículo forma parte de la tesina de máster de investigación en urbanismo

sobre los patios interiores de manzana de uso público del Eixample de

Barcelona, una nueva tipología de espacio público que surge de la transformación

de su trama más representativa. Este artículo se centra en el proceso

llevado a cabo por el ayuntamiento para su obtención, un hecho fundamental

y no del todo valorado; se pretende poner en valor este proceso, su continuidad

y las distintas etapas recorridas. El ayuntamiento ha conseguido hacer

de la necesidad virtud: mediante el análisis, el diagnóstico y la intervención

ha sido capaz de enfrentarse a los problemas de la ciudad compacta con soluciones

innovadoras, sobre la base de un elemento concreto y potente como

es la trama de Cerdà. El éxito de la estrategia es notable y la continuación del

proceso resulta necesaria.

This article is published as part of a Master Thesis in Urbanism focusing on the

interior open spaces (IOS) of Barcelona’s Eixample city blocks. This new type of

public space evolves from the transformation of its most representative structure.

The article focuses on the urban process led by Barcelona’s City Council to gain

open spaces within a fully built area; an essential fact, although not fully appreciated. The objective of this paper is to put on the spotlight this urban process,

its continuity in time and space, and its different stages. The article analyses the

efforts of Barcelona’s City Council to make a virtue of necessity through accurate

analysis, diagnose and intervention, thus managing to find innovative solutions

to solve the problems of a compact city. The success of this urban project reflects

the need to continue and reinforce the process in order to fully achieve the goals

aimed.
Las medidas de los trazados ortogonales
Authors: Sabaté Bel Joaquín
Published: July 2020

Muchas de las ciudades que conocemos tienen su origen o un proyecto de

extensión posterior basado en un trazado regular. Constituyen una de las

formas de crecimiento urbano más común y afortunadamente utilizadas y la

diversidad de soluciones a que ha dado lugar enriquecen los tratados de historia

del urbanismo. Parcelas, tipos edificatorios, calles y avenidas, y manzanas

de diferentes tamaños, se combinan en propuestas ricas y diversas, donde la

única característica común parece ser la utilización de una trama rectangular,

con la consiguiente racionalidad, seriación, capacidad de extensión y transformación.

En este texto analizamos esencialmente la forma y medidas de estos proyectos

(tamaño calle, anchura y profundidad de la manzana, superficie de la misma,

extensión global), al objeto de verificar si existen ciertas constantes en estas

dimensiones, o bien relaciones significativas entre las mismas, medidas más

adecuadas que otras, en esta forma de hacer ciudad, que la hagan más funcional,

más económica o más bella.

Many of the cities we know have their origin or subsequent extension project

based on a regular layout. This is one of the most common and fortunately used

urban growth patterns and the diversity of solutions that has given rise enriches

the town planning history treatises. Plots, building typologies, streets, avenues,

and blocks of different sizes, are combined in rich and diverse proposals, where

the only common feature seems to be the use of a rectangular layout, with the

consequent rationality, serialization, extension and transformation capacity.

In this paper we analyse essentially the shape and measures of these projects (street

size, width and depth of the block, its surface and the total extension), in order

to verify if there are certain constants among these dimensions, or significant

relationships between them, perhaps more appropriate measures, in order to built

a more functional, cheaper or beautiful city.
La urbanística moderna: el segle dels traçats
Authors: Corominas Ayala Miquel
Published: July 2020

La industrialització de finals del segle XVIII i del segle XIX es produeix fonamentalment

a les ciutats. Com que no podran albergar l’allau migratori en els vells

i antiquats cascs urbans serà necessària una nova forma urbana capaç d’acollir

aquestes creixements. Les estratègies es basaran en nous traçats urbans de gran superfície

amb uns carrers moderns, amples, ben anivellats, amb serveis i transport

col·lectiu i grans mançanes amb un parcel·lari molt regular, capaç d’absorbir les

industries i els nous tipus residencials.

Trobarem tres tipus de traçat: Les avingudes, els “rings” o rondes i els eixamples.

Tots tenen en comú la utilització d’una retícula geomètrica de gran regularitat.

De tots ells els eixamples són els més significatius i el millor exponent de la ciutat

industrial. Aquests teixits basats en traçats viaris són segurament els teixits urbans

de major interès urbanístic projectats en els darrers 200 anys i els que millor

representen el conjunt de paradigmes de l’urbanisme contemporani: densitat,

compacitat, barreja d’usos i flexibilitat, i per tant gaudeixen d’un gran valor patrimonial,

econòmic i social.

The industrialization in the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th takes place

in the cities. As they are not able to house the immigration wave in the old town premises,

a new urban form will be needed. The strategies will focus in new urban layouts, of

a great area, with wide modern streets, well leveled, with service infrastructure and

mass transportation and great blocks with a very regular division that can host the

industries and the new residential typologies. We will find three kinds of urban layouts: avenues, rings-roads and extensions. All

of them have in common the use of a very regular geometric grid. Among them, the

extensions are the most significant ones and the best exponent of the industrial city.

These plans, based on roads layouts, are the most interesting urban projects from the

last 200 years and the ones that better represent the set of paradigms of the contemporary urbanism: density, compactness, mix of uses and flexibility, and so far enjoy a

great value as social and economic heritage
Se vende o alquila isla: la búsqueda del lugar singular para el turista global
Authors: Ayala de la Hoz Angélica
Published: July 2020

This paper makes a conceptual approach to the smallest and amphibian spaces scattered

in the Caribbean sea, and around the world; small Islands or islets that are today

touristic destinations or real state products. These are insular territories that evoke to

recent colonial times and are traced by European, African and Caribbean cultures.

These Little Islands offer a return to individual touristic practices; they propose a

reflection about their value as landscape, and as space-territory-home simultaneously.

Other insular and amphibian places show evidence of their precariousness, poverty,

and show failure in management because of distance and smallness. Paradise pieces,

that have been forgotten between the sky and the sea, and are close to disappearing

into the climate change scenario.

Este artículo intenta aproximarse a esos diminutos espacios anfibios disgregados en el Caribe, y en el mundo. Pequeñas islas o islotes que hoy día se convierten en destino turístico o producto inmobiliario. Territorios insulares que evocan su pasado colonial reciente, marcados por culturas europeas, africanas y caribes. Pequeñas islas ofrecen para regresar a una forma de turismo individual, y que hoy nos plantea una reflexión frente a su valor como paisaje, como espacio-territorio-casa simultáneamente. Otros lugares insulares y anfibios; que en contraposición evidencian la precariedad, la pobreza y falta de gestión por su lejanía y pequeñez. Trozos de paraíso, olvidados entre el cielo y el mar a punto de desaparecer en el horizonte del cambio climático global.
César Manrique: la conciencia del paisaje
Authors: Sabaté Bel Fernando , Sabaté Bel Joaquín , Zamora Antonio
Published: July 2020

Existen magníficos estudios sobre la obra plástica y arquitectónica de César

Manrique. Queremos centrarnos, en cambio, en destacar el compromiso de

César Manrique con el paisaje de su isla, que antepone incluso a su oficio de

pintor, y mostrar cómo durante los años sesenta y setenta formula un verdadero

proyecto territorial para Lanzarote, proyecto que imagina inicialmente

de forma tentativa e individual, y que se va precisando, explicitando y

construyendo de forma colectiva con el paso de los años. Queremos, en

definitiva, reivindicar la actualidad de su legado, de un magnífico ejemplo

de cómo mirar hacia el futuro y aprender a respetar nuestro territorio y

nuestra cultura, que es tanto, nos recuerda José Saramago, como respetarnos

a nosotros mismos.

Magnificent studies have been written about the paintings and architecture

by César Manrique. Instead we wish to focus on highlighting both César

Manrique’s commitment to the landscape of his island, which even took

precedence over his work as a painter, and how during the 1960’s and 70’s,

he formulated a true territorial project for Lanzarote; one which he initially

thought up tentatively and individually, but which was gradually refined,

through defining and building it collectively over the course of the years. We would like to re-establish the current relevance of his legacy, as a

magnificent example of how to look towards the future, and how to learn to

respect our landscape and cultural heritage, which as José Saramago reminds

us, is how we show respect to ourselves.
Prácticas del paisajismo francés: la construcción del proyecto del paisaje en el plan turístico Maspalomas Costa Canaria, 1961
Authors: Álvarez León Iván
Published: July 2020

El estudio de las prácticas que de ne el panorama efervescente del paisajismo francés durante los años 60, están representandas y defendidas por los elementos que explican la construcción del plan turístico de Maspalomas Costa Canaria de 1961. La vinculación directa que posee el plano y los miembros del atelier AS (autores del plan) con las intervenciones urbanas y paisajísticas en Francia, se convierten en el principal argumento de esta investigación.

Durante los años 60 en la región metropolitana de París se realizaron las mayores transformaciones del paisaje urbano y rural, a través de las políticas urbanas denominadas grand ensembles. De las soluciones empleadas en estas operaciones y del nuevo estado emergente del paisajismo en el diseño de planes, analizaremos la vinculación que existe con algunas de las soluciones planteadas en el plan turístico de Maspalomas.

The Maspalomas Costa Canaria master plan designed in 1961 represented the beginning of a new urban practice in the European tourism planning based on the landscape as principle of urban design.

Over the 60s were developed the most important urban and rural landscape operations

in the metropolitan área of Paris. The grand ensembles based on housing plans were

promoted by the state urban policy in order to close the existing housing deficit in the

dense cities of France. During 60s a new framework in the landscape operations and

the solutions used to develop the grand ensembles were the keys to design the Maspalomas Costa Canaria master plan as one of the firsts advanced tourism plans in Europe.

The main goal of this research pretends to highlight a strong correlation among the

Maspalomas master plan, the AS atelier (architects of master plan) and the French landscape vision.
Génesis de los tejidos turísticos maduros: el proceso de transformación de la forma urbana de Palmanova-Torrenova de Calviá, Mallorca
Authors: Horrach Estarellas Biel
Published: July 2020

Desde el nacimiento del turismo de masas en la década de 1950, muchos destinos del litoral europeo han tendido a experimentar un acelerado proceso de degradación. Primero fueron algunos de los destinos de primera generación, ubicados en el litoral Atlántico europeo, que en los años 70’ ya presentaban claros síntomas de estancamiento y declive (Butler, 1980). Posteriormente, este fenómeno se traslada a los principales espacios turísticos del Mediterráneo, convirtiéndose en las últimas tres décadas en uno de los grandes retos a afrontar. Mediante el presente artículo, a partir del análisis del espacio central de uno de los principales destinos de la isla de Mallorca, Palmanova-Torrenova, se pretende comprender el origen y los procesos experimentados por este tejido turístico que en la actualidad se encuentra en fase de estancamiento.

Since the birth of mass tourism in the 1950s, many European coastal destinations

have tended to experience an accelerated degradation process. Initially, it happened

to some of the first generation destinations, located in the European Atlantic coast,

which in the 70’s, showed clear signs of stagnation and decline. Afterwards, this

phenomenon moved to the main tourist areas of the Mediterranean, becoming an

important challenge to face during the last three decades. Throughout this paper,

which is based on the analysis of one of the main tourist destinations central area of

Mallorca island, Palmanova-Torrenova, is intended to understand the origin and the

processes experienced by this tourist fabrics which currently are in phase of stagnation.

Variables influencing the case prioritisation of men convicted of internet child abuse material offences
Authors: Garrington Catherine , Merdian Hannah , Boer Douglas P.
Published: July 2020

The differentiation between men convicted of child abuse material offences, known as Internet Child Abuse Material (I/CAM), and Contact (CO) child sex offenders is an ongoing area of research. Current research indicates there are differences between men convicted of I/CAM and CO offences. This article highlights key variables that may indicate clinically and/or statistically significant differences between I/CAM and CO populations, as identified in current published research. Identified key variables may contribute to the case prioritisation of men under investigation for I/CAM offences to assist timely investigation. Post conviction, key variables may contribute to targeted treatment, reducing recidivism and protecting the global community. Articles containing variables differentiating I/CAM and CO populations were reviewed; articles that did not include any comparative analysis were excluded. The final sample of articles (n = 10) was reviewed using a literature review methodology to collate trend variables and directionality between the two populations. Demographic variables with critical differences between men convicted of I/CAM offences when compared to CO offences are younger age, White ethnic background, employed, lower use of alcohol and drugs, and less or no recorded criminal history but higher self-reported history of offending. Key psychological variables identified are lower impression management, lower demonstrations of antisociality, higher sexual deviancy and higher levels of victim empathy when compared to men convicted of CO offences. The findings will be considered in line with existing risk assessment and case prioritisation tools. This research can contribute to community safety through a specific focus on prioritising the investigation, case management, and treatment of men convicted of I/CAM offences and signals future pathways for targeted risk assessment.
Adult-as-schoolgirl sexual fantasies: Investigating their relationship with sexual interest in children within a male sample
Authors: Henek Maja , Bartels Ross M.
Published: July 2020

Theory and research indicates that sexual fantasies about children are associated with child sexual abuse and the proclivity to engage in child sexual abuse. The present study aimed to add to the literature by examining whether sexual fantasies depicting an adult partner dressed in school uniform are related to a self-reported sexual interest/proclivity towards child sexual abuse. We also investigated whether Adult-as-Schoolgirl sexual fantasies are related to other factors underlying the reason for finding children sexually appealing (e.g. lower self-esteem, the need for sexual dominance, and innocence-related fantasies). The measures assessing each variable were completed in randomized order by 87 community males recruited online (after data cleaning). The results showed significant correlations between Adult-as-Schoolgirl sexual fantasies and the interest in/proclivity to sexually offend against children, as well as sexual fantasies about innocence in general. A direct multiple regression revealed that these two variables statistically predicted Adult-as-Schoolgirl sexual fantasy scores. The present study provides the first indication that Adult-as-Schoolgirl fantasies are linked to the self-reported interest and proclivity in sexually abusing children. Given the correlational nature of these findings, the causal direction cannot be determined. Moreover, the results do not indicate that people with Adult-as-Schoolgirl fantasies will act up these fantasies with a real child. Nevertheless, the findings suggest the need to address the sexualization of schoolgirl uniforms in popular media. Future research should aim to uncover the impact that Adult-as-Schoolgirl sexual fantasies have on actual behavior.

This article examines the main factors of the emergence of Indo-Pacific Strategy, the balance of powers between China and the United States in the Indo-Pacific Region, and their investment policy into contiguous countries of the region. Special attention is paid to contradictions between China and the United States in the region, as well as the impact of D. Trump’s Indo-Pacific Strategy upon U. S. relations with China. The article explores the main integration structures of Indo-Pacific Region, goals and tasks set before them. The novelty of this research is defined by fact that in incipient competition between the two countries for the leading positions in Indo-Pacific Region is traced in the advanced by China concept “One Belt, One Road” and U. S. strategy of “Free and Open Indo-Pacific”. The author comes to the conclusion that currently there is no unified integrated interregional authority that is capable of solving the entire range of problems faced by the countries of Indo-Pacific Region. However, the United States gradually lose its leading position in the region, yielding to PRC. China’s domestic reforms, aimed at improvement of interregional financial and economic ties, contribute to creation of a positive image of the country and strengthening of PRC’s position in the Indo-Pacific Region.

Aims: A large number of food industries are focusing their interests recently on the commercial production of fish crackers for their nutritional values and health benefits. The goal of this study was to develop a set of formulae for the preparation of nutritious and tasty fish crackers using three low-value carp fish species namely mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio var. specularis), Mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosis) and Pangasius (Pangasius hypothalamus). 

Methodology: Six different fish crackers were developed and their proximate analysis, linear expansion, oil absorption, texture hardness, color components were analyzed as per standard established methods. Sensory attributes were carried out by 60 naïve panelists to evaluate their consumers’ acceptance. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS for Windows (Version 25). 

Results: The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) of all parameters showed significant differences (at P< 0.05) among the prepared fish crackers with significantly better results (at P< 0.05) for Sample 3. The moisture, ash, protein, fat and carbohydrate content of the fish crackers ranged from 2.42±0.05–3.18 ± 0.07%, 1.53±0.66–2.87±0.05%, 12.55±0.11–17.82±0.09%, 19.71±0.14–24.26±0.17% and 28.76±0.12–47.56±1.07%, respectively. The linear expansion, oil absorption and texture hardness of the fish crackers varied from 40.86±0.55–60.99±0.65%, 0.98±0.14–7.12±0.21% and 1208.30±109.08–2011.64±98.06 N/cm2, respectively. The range of Hunter lab color components e.g. lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) of the fish crackers were 41.96±0.68­–69.15±0.08, 0.89±0.11–9.09±0.08 and 7.51±0.03–30.88±0.06, respectively. For all of the above-mentioned parameters, significantly better results (at P< 0.05) were observed in Sample 3 than the other samples. The 9-point Hedonic scale rating of the fish crackers rated by 200 naïve panelists revealed a significant difference (at P< 0.05) for Sample 3 than the others crackers in terms of appearance (8.30±0.79), taste (8.53±0.78), crispiness (7.63±0.85), aroma (7.91±1.09) and overall acceptability (8.64±0.72).

Conclusion: Significantly better results (at P< 0.05) were observed for Sample 3, whereas the results of other samples were also acceptable. Findings of this investigation can also be helpful for the commercial production of value-added, nutritious fish crackers from low-value carp fishes like Cyprinus carpio var. specularis, Cirrhinus cirrhosis and Pangasius hypothalamus.

The research aims to determine the best stocking density in the maintenance of Siamese catfish seedlings based on the influence exerted on the survival of Siamese catfish seeds and improving water quality in the recirculation system. This research was conducted at the Green House Ciparanje FPIK Unpad Jatinangor in August 2019. Maintenance activities are carried out in a 70x70x70 cm fiber equipped with a recirculation system and filled with 150 L of water per fiber. The study was conducted with four stocking solid treatments as follows 375 fry/fiber (treatment A); 450 fry/fiber (treatment B); 525 fry/fiber (treatment C); and 600 fry/fiber (treatment D). Siamese catfish fry is 1 inch in size with an average weight of 0.307 grams. The parameters observed were the survival of Siamese catfish fry and water quality. Water quality measurements include temperature, degree of acidity (pH), and ammonia (NH3). Water quality testing was carried out at the Laboratory of Aquatic Resources, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran. During the study, there was no exchange of water or siphon. The method used in this research was analyzed descriptively and compared the results of survival rate fish and water quality parameters toward the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The results showed that the best stocking density was 600 fry/fiber with a survival rate of 100% Siamese catfish and the ammonia value at the beginning of maintenance was 0.140 mg/L and the end of maintenance decreased to 0.137 mg/L.

Published: July 2020

Aims: The aim of this paper was to investigate whether community forest association (CFA) get benefits as they conserve dryland forest that is also fully leased.

Study Design: The paper adapted descriptive survey design. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted between the year 2018 December and 2020 January in Kibwezi forest.

Methodology: This study included 139 individuals who were issued with questionnaires (household survey) and 5 officials from forest department who were interviewed. 

Results: The questionnaires response rate was 96% since 134 questionnaires out 139 were returned. The introduction of leasehold significantly reduced benefits community forest association used to get. There is no significant association between being a member of Community Forest Association and getting employment in dryland forest conservation sinceChi square results were; ?2  =3.953, df=3, P=.267.

Conclusion: There is no special benefit the Community Forest Association gets from conservation of Kibwezi forest. For community to participate in forest management that have been leased there should be incentives. In fully leased forest, community forest members should jointly work with Kenya Forest Service as per the Participatory Forest Management. To get desired results of community forest participation in dryland, different actors should come up with innovative ways of conferring benefits to the Community Forest Association and compel the lessee to adhere to the legal requirement of continued access of benefits to the communities as it was before the lease.

The objective of the study was to evaluate in vitro inhibitory effect of methanolic and methanolic-aqueous mixture extracts of Plectranthus neochilus Schltr (P. neochilus) and Bauhinia rufescens Lam (B. rufescens) on the growth of Escherichia coli 25922 and Proteus mirabilis. A phytochemical screening was carried out to highlight compounds (phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids) with antibacterial activity. Then, an antibiogram was Carried out to investigate the enzymes rendering the resistance. Finally, the E-test was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the extract mixture. The Screening results showed that both plants contain total phenolics, flavonoids and alkaloids compounds. The antibiogram has made it possible to establish the sensitivity profile of the strains tested with regard to certain antibiotics. The extract mixture showed antibacterial activity on both strains tested. In the present work, the different mixtures of extracts showed an inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli 25922 [a strain sensitive to almost all the antibiotics tested, in particular the three classes: beta-lactams (Ceftazidine, Ceftriaxone, Meropenem), quinolones (Levofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin) and aminoglycosides (Gentamicin, Amikacin)] and on Proteus mirabilis (a multiresistant strain with almost all the antibiotics tested).
