Mitochondria: the birth place, battle ground and the site of melatonin metabolism in cells
Authors: Tan Dun-Xian , Reiter Russel. J.
Published: March 2019

It was a surprising discovery when mitochondria,

as the power houses of cells, were also found to synthesize the potent

mitochondrial targeted antioxidant, melatonin. The melatonin synthetic enzyme serotonin

N-acetyltransferase (SNAT) was found in matrix and also in the intermembrane space

of mitochondria. We hypothesize that the melatonin synthesis occurs in the matrix

due to substrate (N-acetyl co-enzyme A) availability while the intermembrane

space may serve as the recycling pool of SNAT to regulate the melatonin

circadian rhythm. Another surprise was that the melatonin membrane receptors,

including MT1 and MT2, were also present in mitochondria. The protective

effects of melatonin against neuronal injury induced by brain ischemia/reperfusion

were proven to be mainly mediated by mitochondrial melatonin receptors rather

than the cell surface membrane receptors which is contrary to the classical

principle. In addition, melatonin metabolic enzyme has also been identified in

the mitochondria. This enzyme can convert melatonin to N-acetylserotonin to

strengthen the antitumor effects of melatonin. Thus, mitochondria are the

generator, battle ground and metabolic sites of melatonin. The biological

significance of the strong association between mitochondria and melatonin

should be intensively investigated.
Hepatopatía crónica, edemas y ascitis, ¿puede esconder algo más?

Published: March 2019

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 47 años con diagnóstico previo de hepatopatía crónica enólica que ingresa por primer episodio de descompensación edemo-ascítica. Tras varios datos en contra del origen de la hepatopatía como causa de la clínica, se llegó al diagnóstico de miocardiopatía hipertrófica familiar en fase de disfunción ventricular. Es un ejemplo de la importancia de integrar una valoración clínica adecuada con las pruebas complementarias que en ocasiones pueden ser confusas y retrasar el diagnóstico final.
Enfermedad de Graves recurrente tras tiroidectomía
Authors: Castro-Dufourny Inés
Published: March 2019

La enfermedad de Graves es una causa frecuente de hipertiroidismo en mujeres jóvenes. Su tratamiento inicial suele realizarse con fármacos antitiroideos orales mantenidos a lo largo de 12-24 meses. Si persiste el hipertiroidismo tras este periodo, o si vuelve a presentarse tras un periodo libre de enfermedad, el segundo escalón terapéutico puede ser la cirugía o el yodo radiactivo. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con enfermedad de Graves resistente al tratamiento con antitiroideos orales, con recidiva del hipertiroidismo tras tiroidectomía total por existencia de tejido tiroideo ectópico mediastínico. Recibió tratamiento con yodo radiactivo, controlándose el hipertiroidismo, con hipotiroidismo yatrogénico posterior.

Ortaçağ tarihi boyunca Truva’nın coğrafi
konumu bilinmemesine ve bu bölge bu dönemde kilit bir rol oynamamasına rağmen
Truva’nın toplumların hafızası ve kültüründe tuttuğu yer açısından bu konu
Ortaçağ tarihi araştırmacıları açısından hala cazibesini korumaktadır. Pek çok
Ortaçağ toplumunun aksine Bizanslılar Homeros’un metinlerine doğrudan erişme
şansına sahiplerdi ve bu metinlerle temaslarını 15. yüzyıla kadar kesintisiz
bir şekilde sürdürdüler. Bu ilişki içerisinde Bizanslılar eğitimden edebiyata
pek çok alanda bu eserlerden faydalandılar, bu eserlerin diline ve içerdiği
bilgeliğe hayranlık duydular, onların kopyalarını çıkardılar, muhafaza ettiler,
incelediler, alıntıladılar, yorumladılar, kendi çağlarının ihtiyaçları
doğrultusunda uyarladılar ve bu eserlerin başka toplumlara intikalini
sağladılar. Bu çalışma Homeros’un eserlerinin Bizans’a nasıl intikal ettiği ve
Bizanslıların bu eserlerden nasıl faydalandığı sorularından hareketle Bizans’ın
Truva’nın entelektüel mirası ile kurduğu bu dinamik ve çok boyutlu ilişkinin
anlamlı bir panoramasını sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Published: March 2019

Troya, dünyadaki en ünlü antik kentlerden birisidir. 2018 yılının Troya yılı ilan edilmesiyle Troya antik kenti yeniden gündeme gelmiş ve turizm hareketliliği açısından Çanakkale’ye ivme kazandırdığı düşünülmektedir.. Troya bölgesinin tarihi açıdan önemini yapılan arkeolojik araştırmalar gün yüzüne çıkarmıştır ve çıkarmaya devam etmektedir. Yapılan bu arkeolojik kazılar aynı zamanda tarihin eski dönemlerinde insanların ne yiyip içtiklerine ilişkin ipuçları da vermektedir. Gastronomi turizmi açısından yerel yemeklerin önemi birçok araştırma tarafından vurgulanmıştır. Gastronomi turistlerinin ya da kültürel amaçlı bölgeyi ziyaret eden turistlerin tarihin eski dönemlerinde insanların ne yediklerini de merak edebilecekleri ve buna uygun olarak turistik ürün oluşturulabileceği düşüncesinden hareketle çalışmada literatür taranarak Troya'nın yemek kültürünü ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda Troas bölgesinde ve Troya'da beslenmede etkili olan temel unsurlardan ilkinin yaşanılan coğrafya, ikincinin ise olduğu tarihsel süreç olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda bölgede çağlar boyunca genel olarak Akdeniz tipi beslenme kültürünün hakim olduğu söylenebilir. Sırasıyla koyun, sığır, domuz, keçi (oğlak), geyik ve at gibi hayvanların etleri tüketilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, ton balığı ve kabuklu deniz ürünlerinin sıklıkla yer aldığı görülmektedir. Buğday ve arpa çeşitleri, bezelye, nohut, bakla gibi tahıl ürünleri ile bakliyatlar da tüketilmektedir. Zeytin, üzüm ve incir gibi meyvelerin var olduğu ve zeytinyağının değerli bir besin maddesi olduğu söylenebilir.
La movilidad salarial en Colombia, desde la teoría de la omisión legislativa.
Authors: Hernández Martelo Paola Stella
Published: March 2019

El salario tiene una estrecha relación con la vida digna de un trabajador y de su núcleo familiar, pues permite la satisfacción de sus necesidades vitales. Nótese que la falta del incremento salarial anual puede ser una causa injustificada de enriquecimiento del empleador, frente a un detrimento patrimonial del trabajador y se afecta con ello, el carácter conmutativo del contrato de trabajo. Esto, además, atenta contra la dignidad del trabajo, contradice el principio constitucional de movilidad salarial, disminuye los ingresos familiares, afecta la vida en condiciones dignas y la economía colombiana. Este artículo científico es producto de un estudio sobre el principio constitucional de la movilidad salarial, el cual analiza si existe una omisión legislativa respecto de este principio, entendida omisión legislativa como un vacío legislativo que ignora injustificadamente los mandatos explícitos de la Constitución Política de 1991, omisión que afecta los derechos y garantías fundamentales.
Aspectos procesales de la declaratoria de interdicción por discapacidad mental absoluta.
Authors: Tirado Pertúz Cesar Andrés , García Granados Carlos Eduardo
Published: March 2019

En lo sustancial vemos que la Constitución Política de 1991 trajo consigo una serie de cambios en las estructuras socio-culturales que dieron origen a muchas normas, entre las cuales destacamos para este trabajo en particular la Ley 1306 del 2009, que surge como una respuesta a la necesidad de mejorar las condiciones jurídicas de los incapaces por discapacidad mental y adaptarlas. En lo jurídico, encontramos que para la declaratoria de interdicción por discapacidad mental se debe acudir a un proceso de jurisdicción voluntaria. En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar paso a paso el proceso judicial para la declaratoria de interdicción por discapacidad mental, a efectos de verificar si este es lo suficientemente eficaz para proteger los derechos de los incapaces absolutos.
Principio de confianza legítima y acción de lesividad: elementos para una discusión
Authors: Pereira Blanco Milton
Published: March 2019

En este trabajo se sostiene, como tesis central, que la declaratoria de nulidad de actos administrativos demandados en acción de lesividad no siempre lesiona el principio de confianza legítima. Se precisa, en este sentido, que el único presupuesto para lesionar tal principio, en las condiciones descritas anteriormente, se presenta cuando el acto administrativo tiene apariencia de licitud pero dentro de su contexto normativo encierra una nulidad. Lo anterior, a partir del problema jurídico planteado, así: ¿Existe lesión a la confianza legítima por parte del Estado cuando se declara la nulidad de los actos administrativos mediante la acción delesividad?

La oclusión vascular de la retina (OVR) es la segunda enfermedad vascular más frecuente. Se clasifica en dos tipos: oclusión de una rama de la vena retiniana (ORVR) y oclusión de la vena central de la retina (OVCR). En la ORVR, la afección está confinada a un cuadrante de la retina, mientras que en la OVCR, se afecta los cuatro cuadrantes. La oclusión venosa central de la retina es clasificada ya sea como isquémica (no perfundida) o no isquémica (perfundida). Es diagnosticada con la ayuda de la fluorangiografía como complemento a la clínica. El objetivo de este trabajo fue revisar el concepto de oclusión de la vena central de la retina, el abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico de un caso clínico.

Authors: Maldonado-Mena Gabriela , Casillas-Casillas Elizabeth , Salas-Hernández Luis Héctor
Published: March 2019

La discapacidad visual se puede dividir en casos de pacientes que cursan con ceguera y los que padecen baja visión. La ceguera es la ausencia total del sentido de la vista. La baja visión es una disminución de la agudeza visual y una pérdida en el campo visual que limita a realizar actividades de la vida diaria. La degeneración macular relacionada a la edad (DMRE), es una enfermedad localizada en el área macular y puede presentarse alrededor de los 50 años. El paciente experimenta una disminución de la visión acompañada de escotomas en el campo visual central, en algunos casos el paciente puede percibir distorsión de las imágenes. Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 65 años de edad, pensionado, que acudió a la consulta manifestando una importante disminución de la visión, con aparición de una mancha de color grisácea menciona además que al leer percibe las letras empalmadas. El médico oftalmólogo indicó estudios y se confirmó la DMRE húmeda. En manejo conjunto, el médico oftalmólogo evaluó la salud ocular del paciente e indicó tratamiento, el optometrista realizó la adaptación de ayudas ópticas convencionales, no convencionales. Los pacientes pueden pasar por depresión y otras etapas que el psicólogo puede atender, al igual que maestros de educación para ciegos o de educación especial. De ahí que el manejo multidisciplinario es importante para lograr el éxito con los pacientes y reincorporarlos a la vida cotidiana. LUXMÉDICA, AÑO 14, NÚMERO 40, ENERO-ABRIL 2019 PP 53-59.

Contact precautions for colonisation with multidrug-resistant organisms and haemodialysis patient quality of life and mood: a pilot case-control study
Authors: Krishnasamy Rathika
Published: March 2019

Background: The rate of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) colonisation in dialysis populations has increased over time. This study aimed to assess the effect of contact precautions and isolation on quality of life and mood for haemodialysis (HD) patients colonised with MDRO.
Methods: Patients undergoing facility HD completed the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL–SFTM), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Personal Wellbeing-Index Adult (PWI-A). Patients colonised with MDRO were case-matched by age and gender with patients not colonised.
Results: A total of 16 MDRO-colonised patients were matched with 16 controls. Groups were well matched for demographics and co-morbidities, other than a trend for older dialysis vintage in the MDRO group [7.2 years (interquartile range 4.6–10.0) compared to 3.2 (1.4–7.6) years, p=0.05]. Comparing MDRO-positive with negative patients, physical (30.5±10.7 vs. 34.6±7.3; p=0.2) and mental (46.5±11.2 vs. 48.5±12.5; p = 0.6) composite scores were not different between groups. The MDRO group reported poorer sleep quality (p=0.01) and sleep patterns (p=0.05), and lower social function (p=0.02). BDI scores were similar (MDRO-positive 10(3.5–21.0) vs. MDRO-negative 12(6.5–16.0), p=0.6). PWI-A scores were also similar in both groups; however, MDRO patients reported lower scores for “feeling safe”, p=0.03.
Conclusion: While overall scores of quality of life and depression were similar between groups, the MDRO group reported poorer outcomes in sleep and social function. A larger cohort and qualitative interviews may give more detail of the impact of contact precautions and isolation on HD patients. The necessity for contact precautions for different MDRO needs consideration.

Published: March 2019

A trial was conducted during 2015-16 to 2017-18 at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Jashore to select some tolerant varieties against wheat blast. Fourteen varieties including eight old varieties (Sonalika, Kanchan, Sourav, Gourab, Shatabdi, Sufi, Bijoy, Prodip) and six newly released varieties (BARI Gom 25, BARI Gom 26, BARI Gom 27, BARI Gom 28, BARI Gom 29 and BARI Gom 30) were evaluated. The experiments were non-replicated and were planted in two sowing dates, at optimum (mid November) and late (mid December) conditions. Three irrigations were applied, at crown root initiation (CRI), heading and grain filling stages. Plants of border rows were inoculated by Magnaporthe oryzae triticum (MoT) spores (104 conidia ml-1) for infection once per week from three weeks after sowing until primary infection was observed. The significantly higher grain yield was observed in 2016-17 (3505 kg ha-1) which was similar to 2017-18 (3448 kg ha-1) and the lowest was in 2015-16 (1680 kg ha-1). The higher grain yield was obtained due to the higher grains spike-1 (45 no.) and 1000 grain weight (36.6 g) and lower blast disease incidence (% blast index 18.1%). In all three years, there was heavy infection of wheat blast in late sowing condition (% blast index 40.7) compared to the optimum sowing condition (% blast index 1.4), resulting in very poor crop yield (1696 kg ha-1). Among the varieties, the variety Gourab produced the highest yield (3395 kg ha-1) which was similar to the newly released variety BARI Gom 28 (3196 kg ha-1) and BARI Gom 30 (3134 kg ha-1). In case of blast disease severity, old varieties were less infested with some exception in Sonalika and Kanchan. On the other hand, BARI Gom 25 and BARI Gom 26 were more susceptible (% blast index 35.3-36.5) to wheat blast compared to BARI Gom 28 and BARI Gom 30 (% blast index 20.2-22.5).

Authors: Shashi MA , Mannan MA , Islam MM , Rahman MM
Published: March 2019

The present experiment was conducted to study the impact of rice husk biochar on growth, water relations and yield of maize (BARI Hybrid Bhutta- 9) under drought (60 and 40% of FC) conditions. Four doses of rice husk biochar @ 0, 5, 10 and 20 t/ha were applied as an amendment in soil before sowing of seeds. Results revealed that drought stress reduced plant height, relative water content and grain yield of maize. But rice husk biochar at different doses improved the above mentioned characters under drought conditions. Under 60% of FC, the highest plan height, leaf water content and yield were 196.67 cm, 79.86% and 89.75 g/plant, respectively when biochar was applied @ 20 t/ha but it was 173.33 cm, 78.32% and 84.57 g/plant, respectively under 40% of FC when biochar was applied at the same dose. It may be concluded that, rice husk biochar @ 20 t/ha showed the best result to promote growth, water relation traits and yield of maize under drought condition.

Vaginal Delivery versus Elective Caesarean Section for Breech Presentation - Experience in Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH)
Authors: Jabeen Mahe , Shimul Sabiha , Salma Ummay , Jebunnesa -
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Compared with a fetus with cephalic presentation, a breech fetus faces increased risk during labour and delivery of asphyxia from cord compression and of traumatic injury during delivery of the shoulders and head. Caesarean section avoids most of this risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal delivery of uncomplicated singleton breech presentation by evaluating early neonatal morbidity and mortality as well as maternal morbidity following vaginal and caesarean delivery for breech presentation.

Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional comparative study.104 women with singleton breech presentation at term in labour were included consequetively in labour ward of Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH). Informed consent was taken from them. Neonatal and maternal outcome were recorded and statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22.

Results: APGAR at 5 min and Neonatal Intensive Care Unite (NICU) admission were not affected by mode of delivery. Long term neonatal outcome is similar in either mode of delivery. Maternal morbidity and duration of hospital stay is increased in caesarean births.

Conclusion: Neonatal outcome did not depend on mode of delivery though maternal morbidity and cost of care is increased following Caesarean Section. Proper selection of cases and by improving skill & confidence in new generation obstetrician, vaginal delivery of singleton fetuses in breech presentation at term remains a safe option that can be offered to a woman in a tertiary care centre.

METODOLOGI TAFSIR AL-QUR’AN: Sebuah Sorotan Historis
Authors: Makhfud Makhfud
Published: March 2019

Memahami al-Qur'an tidak bisa dengan waktu yang singkat dan cepat, butuh waktu dan penjelasan-penjelasan lain yang memungkinkan untuk dapat mendapatkan pemahaman yang jelas dan detail. Tafsir dengan segala metodenya dan terlepas dari semua perbedaan pendapat didalamnya, merupakan perangkat yang dibutuhkan dan tepat dalam memahami al-Qur'an. Kata tafsir sendiri mempunyai makna yang berarti menjelaskan, menyingkap dan menampakkan atau menerangkan makna yang abstrak. Itu berarti ilmu tafsir adalah ilmu yang menjelaskan segala sesuatu yang tersirat dan tersurat dalam al-Qur'an karena masih bersifat abstrak. Jadi urgensi metodologi penafsiran adalah untuk membentuk pemikiran pemahaman yang sistematis dan jelas serta mengerti luas tentang al-Qur'an yang merupakan kitab pedoman hidup bagi kaum Muslimin.

Published: March 2019

Este artigo visa compreender os principais fatores que levam à informatização empresarial, bem como as principais dificuldades e desafios que as MPEs - Micro e Pequenas Empresas enfrentam neste processo. Para tanto, foi elaborado um questionário e aplicado em quinze empresas do Médio Piracicaba - MG, englobando empresas dos municípios de João Monlevade, Nova Era e Bela Vista de Minas. O questionário envolveu questões relacionadas aos recursos de Tecnologia da Informação e Sistemas de Informação - SI tais como: humanos, hardware, software, dados e rede. A fundamentação teórica que dá sustentação ao objeto do estudo é resultante das pesquisas bibliográficas realizadas, onde são expostos os conceitos de Tecnologia da Informação - TI, Sistemas de Informação - SI e Recursos do SI (humanos, hardware, software, dados e rede). Como resultados identificou-se que o principal fator que levou às MPEs ao processo de informatização foi a obrigação fiscal. Entretanto, foi possível identificar também que muitas MPEs realizam a informatização buscando a melhoria da qualidade das informações, redução de custos e modernização. Quanto aos principais desafios e dificuldades que envolvem o processo de informatização empresarial, identificou-se que a implantação da infraestrutura de redes são as mais complexas e emblemáticas.
Intervenções Táticas no Espaço Urbano
Authors: Vieira Maria Fernanda Paim , Bavaresco Paulo Ricardo , Daiprai Leandra
Published: March 2019

O presente estudo tem como objetivo central discutir a temática da ocupação do espaço público a partir de intervenções urbanas. Para tanto, expõe uma síntese de parte da problemática urbana no que concerne à relação usuário/espaço, posteriormente elucidando o papel das intervenções táticas nesse contexto, análise proporcionada por pesquisa bibliográfica. Estas intervenções são de caráter temporário e têm como objetivo ressignificar e dar vitalidade a espaços degradados, agindo por meio de ações pontuais, de curto prazo, baixo custo e com mão de obra local. Por fim, constatou-se que à medida em que a ocupação da cidade e o desfrute de sua paisagem se tornam mais intensos, os problemas relacionados à falta de infraestrutura básica começam a ficar evidentes. Nesse âmbito é que surgem as “soluções” táticas, que não resolvem carências urbanas profundas, porém, suprem as necessidades imediatas, empoderam a comunidade como grupo e reforçam a sensação de segurança e vitalidade da cidade.

Authors: Batista Natália Lampert , Feltrin Tascieli , Becker Elsbeth Léia Spode
Published: March 2019

Os multiletramentos e as práticas sociais multiletradas emergem no século XXI como novas potencialidades pedagógicas, mas também como desafios aos docentes. Por isso, precisam ser englobadas nos debates e nas discussões escolares como forma de inseri-las no contexto educacional. Assim, o presente artigo objetiva (re)conhecer práticas multiletradas desenvolvidas por alunos de uma comunidade periférica de Santa Maria/RS como forma de subsidiar a prática pedagógica de Geografia e de Língua Portuguesa. Para isso, aplicou-se um questionário, baseado em Rojo (2009) e em Feltrin e Batista (2016), para 74 estudantes de sexto ano do Ensino Fundamental matriculados no ano de 2018. Observou-se que os discentes estão inseridos no novo contexto midiático da contemporaneidade, apresentando práticas sociais multiletradas diversas que podem embasar as novas propostas pedagógicas e, por conseguinte, estimular novas posturas educacionais.

The aim of the study was to screen Cd contamination from the River Mutha and to investigate its effects on chick embryo development. The study was correlated with the toxicity of fetal development in humans, as chick embryo provides an excellent model system for studying the development of higher vertebrates including humans. The estimated average concentration of Cd in water column of River Mutha was 0.0986 mg/l, exceeded the safe limit of drinking water (0.0003 mg/l). To study the effects of Cd on chick embryo development, analogous concentration observed in River water was introduced in fertilized chicken eggs. Aqueous solutions of Cd ranging from 0.05 to 1.00 mg/l were injected into fertilized chicken eggs at 72 hours of incubation and metal injected eggs were further incubated for 10 days to see the toxic effects if any. Control eggs were treated in the similar way with sterile distilled water. Results showed abnormal development of blood vessels and decrease in the embryo survival rate in the Cd treated eggs.

Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) disease is one of the most vicious diseases of green gram and has been renowned in India for more than five decades. The economic losses due to this virus account up to 85% in green gram which is spreading faster towards newer areas. A field experiment was carried out by Krishi Vigyan Kendra during kharif seasons at the farmers’ fields in villages Sitapur, Datia district of BundelKhand zone to evaluate the five integrated pest management module including conventional farmers’ practices against green gram sucking pest (white fly) and YMV. Among the test modules, Module 3 (Resistant variety TJM 3+ Seed treatment with Imidacloprid 17.8 % SL @ 5 ml/kg seeds +2 sprays of Imidacloprid 17.8 % SL @ 0.5 ml/l water) found as the most effective treatments with more than 91.58 percent mean reduction in nymphal population of whiteflies and below 2 percent incidence of YMV followed by Module 2 (Module 1 +2 sprays of Neem oil (5% Azadirachtin) @ 3.0 ml/l), Module 4 (Module 1 + 2 sprays of Triazophos 40 % EC @ 1.5 ml/l), Module 1(Resistant variety TJM 3+ Seed treatment with Imidacloprid 17.8 % SL @ 5 ml/kg seeds). All the IPM modules were found significantly superior over the conventional farmers’ practices in reducing the incidence of YMV in black gram. Higher mean yield of 9.35 q/ha in Module 3 followed by Module 2, Module 4, and Module 1 were recorded in the IPM fields against 6.75 q/ha in farmers’ practise fields. Module 3 obtained maximum return with higher benefit cost ratio followed by Module 2, Module 4, and Module 1.

Published: March 2019

ENGLISHFlash floods often occur in the Sukolilo sub district, Pati Regency Central Java, in particular at Sukolilo village. The high intensity of rainfall in the Sukolilo’s catchment area producing high water volume and flow leads to flash floods in the Sukolilo village one hour after the rainfall. It is an interesting phenomenon because the river located in the Sukolilo village experiences flash flood more frequent compared to other rivers in Sukolilo sub district. This research was conducted by comparing rivers in the Sukolilo sub district through quantitative descriptive method with secondary data. The result of this study showed that the morphology of Sukolilo River has the highest catchment area 300 meter above sea level (ASL) and has narrow downstream 20 ASL. According to the calculation, 3 rivers in the Sukolilo sub district has the potential to experience flash flood that are river located in Sukolilo Village, river located in Wegil Village and river located in the border of of Baleadi Village and Kedung Winong Village, consecutively. INDONESIABanjir bandang di Kecamatan Sukolilo Kabupaten Pati Jawa Tengah sering terjadi terutama di Desa Sukolilo. Debit air yang besar serta kecepatan aliran yang tinggi menyebabkan sungai meluap dan mengkhawatirkan warga yang tinggal di sekitar sungai. Hal tersebut disebabkan intensitas hujan yang sangat tinggi di daerah tangkap sungai Sukolilo yang turun satu jam sebelumnya. Kondisi banjir bandang ini menjadi fenomena tersendiri dikarenakan hanya sungai Sukolilo yang sering terjadi. Maka penelitian ini perlu dilakukan dengan cara membuat studi perbandingan sungai-sungai di wilayah Kecamatan Sukolilo melalui metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bentuk morfologi sungai Sukolilo memiliki daerah tangkap tertinggi 300 meter di atas permukaan laut (DPL) terluas dari sungai sekitarnya dan mengecil di daerah hilir 20 meter DPL. Urutan tertinggi dari rata-rata skor potensi bandang pertama yaitu Sungai Desa Sukolilo, kedua sungai Desa Wegil, dan ketiga sungai perbatasan antara Desa Baleadi dan Desa KedungWinong.
