POTENSI BUDIDAYA UDANG GALAH (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) DI DESA KUALA PEMBUANG I, KECAMATAN SERUYAN HILIR, KABUPATEN SERUYAN, PROVINSI KALIMANTAN TENGAH
Authors: Purnamasari Tina
Published: November 2023

Udang galah merupakan komoditas udang yang memiliki harga ekonomis dan merupakan udang terbesar dibanding dengan udang jenis lain. Udang galah memiliki 2 habitat yaitu air tawar dan air payau dengan air tawar untuk pembesaran sedangkan air payau digunakan untuk pembenihan udang galah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah Sungai Seruyan yang di wilayah Kecamatan Seruyan Hilir Kabupaten Seruyan Kalimantan Tengah berpotensi untuk budidaya udang galah. Berdasarkan letak geografis Sungai Seruyan di wilayah Seruyan Hilir berpotensi untuk budidaya udang galah, karena wilayah ini memiliki habitat udang galah yang memerlukan air tawar dan air payau. Terlebih berdasarkan wawancara 15 responden penangkapan udang galah di wilayah tersebut masih banyak mendapatkan udang galah dengan alat tangkap pancing, jala, dan bubu yang merupakan alat tangkap yang ramah lingkungan, sehingga kondisi ekosistem Sungai Seruyan masiih dalam keadaan baik. Minat masyarakat pun ada yang ingin membudidayakan udang galah, namun terkendala dengan modal dan minimnya pengetahuan tentang teknik budidaya udang galah. Selain itu, belum ada perhatian Dinas terkait dengan pelatihan budidaya udang galah dan menjaga ekosistem perairan di Sungai Seruyan. Berdasarkan potensi tersebut maka perlu adanya penelitian lanjutan terkait dengan kualitas air yang optimum di Sungai Seruyan.

Published: November 2023

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the status of the caprine clinical and subclinical mastitis in Chittagong Metropolitan Area. A total of 61 lactating goats were sampled during the period of January 2015 to June 2015 from Shahidul Alam Quadary Teaching Veterinary Hospital (SAQTVH) of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU). Clinical diagnosis of mastitis (clinical and subclinical) in goats was based on the California Mastitis Test (CMT). The prevalence of subclinical mastitis was estimated at nearly 64% (39 positive samples). One of the sampled animals showed clinical signs of mastitis. Milk samples were further analyzed for the isolation and identification of bacterial agents that were previously found associated with caprine subclinical mastitis. 28 (71.79% among 39 positive samples) samples were culture positive to Staphylococcus aureus and 14 (35.90% among 39 positive samples) were culture positive to E. coli. Among all tested samples, the overall prevalence of subclinical mastitis caused by S. aureus was 46% and E. coli 23%. 10 antibiotic disks were used to evaluate the antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated bacteria. The most sensitive antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus were amoxicillin (82.15%), trimethoprim (64.29%), doxycycline (100%), ciprofloxacin (67.86%). The most sensitive antibiotics against E. coli were colistin sulphate (85.71%), doxycycline (100%), gentamycin (100%), and ciprofloxacin (92.86%). In addition, suspected risk factors such as age of animal, parity, length of lactation period, type of farming system and type of housing floor etc. for subclinical mastitis were also analyzed with advanced statistical tools. The findings of the present study will facilitate accuracy in public service from the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, CVASU through proper diagnosis followed by treatment.

Unconditional federal transfers and state government spending: The flypaper effect in Nigeria and South Africa
Authors: Isik Abdurrahman , Golit Peter D. , Iorember Paul Terhemba
Published: November 2023

The flypaper effect is undoubtedly among the most interesting concepts in subnational government spending behavior. This study is the first attempt to provide empirical evidence on the existence of the flypaper effect in the two largest economies in Sub-Saharan Africa: Nigeria and South Africa. Using the two-step system generalized method of moment’s estimator, our results show that the flypaper effect exists for both state and provincial governments in Nigeria and South Africa. Provincial governments in South Africa are found to be more responsive to positive changes in unconditional federal transfers than state governments in Nigeria. We therefore recommend sen­sitization on the receipt and disbursement of unconditional federal transfers. This will help reduce the illusion or information asymmetry about the use of unconditional federal transfers.

Published: November 2023

Predicting the right bowlers for the death overs in cricket is crucial for the success of a team, as these overs can often determine the outcome of a match. Death overs refer to the final overs of an innings, which are usually considered to be the most crucial because they can determine the result of the match. The death overs are typically the last 5-6 overs of an innings, and are known for being high-pressure situations due to the need to score runs or take wickets. Batting team has always an advantage in winning the match, by selecting the right bowlers to bowl in death overs, it would create an edge for the bowling team to win the match. Selecting the right bowlers for death overs requires an in-depth understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different bowlers and the ability to analyze various factors such as the pitch conditions, the opposition team, and the current game situation. Some of the key factors that can be used to predict the right bowlers for death overs include the bowler’s past performance in similar situations, their ability to bowl under pressure, and their ability to take wickets, their ability to bowl Yorkers and slower balls. In order to accurately predict the right bowlers for death overs, it is important to consider all of these factors and use statistical analysis and machine learning techniques to build models that can accurately predict their performance. This analysis can then be used to build models that can accurately predict which bowlers are likely to perform well in the death overs based on these factors.

La caracterització subordinant de personatges femenins a la llegenda contemporània i gèneres connexos
Authors: Guiscafrè Jaume
Published: November 2023

Aquest treball analitza la caracterització dels personatges femenins en deu textos de l’Arxiu de Folklore de la Universitat de les Illes Balears que es poden adscriure a diversos gèneres narratius que se situen en l’òrbita de la llegenda: la llegenda contemporània, l’antillegenda, la falsa alarma, l’acudit i la carta tradicional. La caracterització dels personatges femenins en aquests textos es resol de dues maneres: d’una banda, hi apareixen com a víctimes d’un agressor masculí i, d’altra banda, hi tenen un paper d’agressores, de promíscues o de dones alliberades que governen el seu propi destí. En tots dos casos, però, la resolució del conflicte que planteja el relat revela la subordinació de les protagonistes femenines al marc patriarcal i a l’imaginari pornogràfic hegemònic masculí.
Gènere i ideologia en la narrativa popular valenciana: sobre bruixes, ungüents, aquelarres, rituals i blasfèmies
Authors: Borja i Sanz Joan
Published: November 2023

En aquesta contribució ens proposem fer una anàlisi comparada sobre les funcions que les bruixes assumeixen en la narrativa popular valenciana, amb la finalitat d’inferir els motius i els valors que hi poden delatar determinats judicis i prejudicis ideològics i culturals vinculats al gènere. Es tracta, en conseqüència, d’avaluar en quina mesura la realitat històrica de les dones acusades de bruixeria ha incidit en una determinada gramàtica de la fantasia que justifica la caracterització d’aquests personatges femenins i els rituals que duen a terme en la ficció popular, d’acord amb una estratègia que percaça l’estudi i l’anàlisi del patrimoni etnopoètic valencià des d’una perspectiva de gènere.
Different groundwater behaviour in deep karst boreholes: the case of Jadro spring basin (Dinaric karst, Croatia)
Authors: Bonacci Ognjen , Roje-Bonacci Tanja , Vrsalović Adrijana
Published: November 2023

The paper analyzes the data of groundwater level (GWL), groundwater temperature (TW), and electrical conductivity (EC) measurements in three deep piezometers (B1, B2, B3) in the Jadro spring basin, taken from October 2010 to December 2021. The variation of these parameters is analyzed at different time scales: annually, monthly, daily (24 hours), and hourly. They are compared with the data of the same parameters measured at the Jadro Spring. The analysis of the maximum observed rise and fall rates of the GWL showed that the piezometers were drilled in very different karst environments. Piezometer B1 is located in a karst matrix where the water flows predominantly in a diffuse laminar (slow-flow) regime. Piezometers B2 and B3 are located in a fault line where numerous large karst underground formations occur and rapid turbulent water flow takes place. The mean annual flows of the Jadro Spring strongly depend on the mean annual GWL-s in each of the piezometers. For much of the year (about 99%), the GWL in all three piezometers is more than 210 m below the ground surface. As the measuring sensors are located near the bottom of the piezometers, the groundwater temperature is almost stagnant. It is always at 12.5 ºC in piezometer B1 and behaves almost identically in piezometer B3. Water temperature is the highest in piezometer B2 and hovers around the average value of 13.5 ºC. At the Jadro Spring, the average water temperature is 12.95 ºC. The electrical conductivity values are the highest in piezometers B2 and B3, with an average of around 0.5 mS/cm. They are lower in piezometer B1, where they range around an average value of 0.465 mS/cm, while at the Jadro Spring, they vary from 0.40 mS/cm to 0.48 mS/cm, with an average value of 0.44 mS/cm. A distinct seasonal pattern in groundwater level behavior is evident across all piezometers. However, no discernible upward or downward trend is observed.
Segregación espacial y condiciones sociodemográficas de la población de Quito, Ecuador
Authors: Rodríguez Sebastián , Cabrera-Barona Pablo
Published: November 2023

La segregación espacial es un fenómeno estrechamente vinculado a condiciones sociodemográficas específicas de la población. Siguiendo esta premisa, se calculó el Índice de Segregación Espacial Global (ISEG) y el Índice de Segregación Espacial Areal (ISEA) para Quito. Este último fue correlacionado con variables socio-demográficas de empleo, salud, educación, disponibilidad digital y autoidentificación étnica. Los resultados muestran que: i) existe un proceso de segregación espacial socioeconómica en Quito, donde estratos bajos se concentran en las periferias mientras que estratos altos lo hacen en el centro-norte y parroquias urbano-rurales de la ciudad; ii) estadísticamente se evidencia una asociación positiva fuerte entre ISEA de estratos altos y variables de disponibilidad digital, educación privada, seguro de salud privado y autoidentificación étnica blanca. Se concluye que existe un proceso de segregación espacial socioeconómica relacionado con ciertos perfiles sociodemográficos de la población quiteña considerados como ventajas y desventajas sociales.

The breeding biology of the Western Red-tailed Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus escondidus in the wheatbelt of Western Australia
Authors: Saunders Denis A
Published: November 2023

A breeding population of Western Red-tailed Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus escondidus was studied between July 1974 and December 1981 at Nereeno Hill, in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia. Egg-laying occurred during two clearly defined periods each year; with peaks mid-March to mid-April (Autumn breeding) and early-August to mid-October (Spring breeding). Thirty-two percent of the 459 eggs laid during the study were laid in Autumn and 68% in Spring. Growth rates of nestling wings and body mass were similar between seasons and years. Nearly one third of breeding attempts failed during incubation and 40.7% successfully fledged a nestling. Fledgling survival in the first year was low (17.5%), however, annual survival was higher after the first year; 80.0% after four years. Birds were killed by Wedge-tailed Eagles Aquila audax, shot by farmers, and drowned in stock troughs. Based on evidence from one individually-marked pair, Western Red-tailed Cockatoos may form long lasting pair bonds. While females breed every 12 months, some have bred in both Autumn and Spring seasons. Young Red-tailed Cockatoos remain with their parents up to two years after fledging, and adults may have young from two breeding seasons accompanying them. The breeding biology of Red-tailed Cockatoos is compared with that of closely related species from the genera Calyptorhynchus and Zanda. Threats to the species are loss of mature hollow-bearing trees and almost complete dependence on the seeds of Double Gee Emex australis, an introduced agricultural weed, for food.
A Comprehensive Investigation into the Money Demand Function in Cambodia: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Song Kosal , Lim Siphat
Published: November 2023

The objective of this study is to establish a money demand function in Cambodia. The findings obtained through the ARDL approach to cointegration indicate that real income, consumer price index, and interest rate are cointegrated with real money demand. In terms of the estimated results derived from the long-run model, it is observed that real income has a statistically significant positive impact on real money demand, while the general price level and interest rate have a negative impact. The short-run dynamic model, known as the error correction model, demonstrates that all explanatory variables collectively account for the growth rate of real money balances. In the short-run, the growth rate of real income exhibits a positive relationship with the demand for real money, whereas the inflation rate and changes in interest rate have a significant negative effect on the demand for real money balances. The estimated slope coefficient of the short-run dynamic model, which measures the speed of adjustment, is projected to be 60.67%. This outcome suggests that the real money balance model takes no more than two quarters to adjust towards long-run equilibrium in response to short-run dynamic shocks. Stability tests, such as the CUSUM and CUSUMSQ tests, indicate that the real money demand function in Cambodia remains stable in the long-term. The findings derived from this study provide empirical evidence in favor of the quantity theory of money.
Ultrasonography as a Tool in Assessment of Breast Pain among Women
Authors: Kolade-Yunusa Hadijat Oluseyi
Published: November 2023

Background: Breast pain or mastalgia is a common breast symptom in women after breast lump. The increase in awareness of breast cancer and the possibility that a breast pain may be associated with underlying breast disease prompt women to seek medical attention.  Ultrasound is a valuable imaging modality in evaluation of breast pain and breast diseases in general.

Objectives: To determine the role of ultrasound and the outcome of breast ultrasound among women with breast pain.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 87 women who were referred for ultrasound scan on account of breast pain from   July 2015 - December 2016 at radiology department of UATH. A high frequency linear transducer 7.5 MHz of EMP G70 ultrasound machine manufactured by Shenzhen Emperor Electronic Technology®, China 2011 was used in scanning the breast.

Results: The mean age of study population was 32±15years with age range of 16 and 69 years. Majority of the patients were in the age group 30-39 years representing 54.0%.  32(36.8%) of women with breast pain had abnormal ultrasound findings. Sonographic findings included mass 13 (14.9%), cyst 10 (11.5%), ductal dilation 4(4.6%), calcification 3(3.5%), architectural distortion 2(2.3%). BIRADS 1 (normal/negative) was the commonest category seen in 55(63.2%) of patients, 21(24.1%) were benign (BIRADS 2), 6(6.4%) were probably benign (BIRADS 3), 3(3.4%) were suspicious BIRADS 4 and 2(2.3%) were highly suggestive of malignancy BIRADS 5. There was positive correlation between ultrasound findings with age This was however not statistically significant (P=0.67).  There was positive correlation between abnormal ultrasound findings with type of pain (P=0.08), location of pain (P=0.63), contraception (P=0.39), and family history of breast cancer (P=0.11).  However, this was not statistically significant

PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN KRITERIA JAMAK (MCDM) UNTUK PEMILIHAN LOKASI FLOATING STORAGE AND REGASIFICATION UNIT (FSRU): STUDI KASUS SUPLAI LNG DARI LADANG TANGGUH KE BALI
Authors: Artana Ketut Buda
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a case study in selecting the best location for a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) in Bali. FSRU is an alternative to replace a conventional shore LNG terminal. The selection involves several criteria/attributes that can be grouped into two general criteria, namely qualitative and quantitative criteria. Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach is utilized to solve the selection problem, considering the capability of this method in solving multi-criteria problem with mutual conflict. Qualitative criteria are evaluated using AHP method to calculate weight of each criterion. Moreover, decision matrix algorithm is then utilized to convert preference of stakeholders into, consecutively, probability assignment, total probability assignment and preference degree eventually. Quantitative criteria are also converted into preference degree and entropy method is used to rank the alternatives. Selected location would be the alternative having the highest entropy. Four alternatives are under consideration. Those alternatives are Benoa, Celukan Bawang, Pemaron and Gilimanuk. This research found that Celukan Bawang is the best location for the FSRU.

Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia:

Paper ini menyajikan pemilihan lokasi Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) untuk proses distribusi LNG dari Ladang Tangguh ke Bali. FSRU merupakan alternatif pengganti LNG receiving terminal di darat. Pemilihan lokasi ini melibatkan kriteria kualitatif dan kuantitatif dan metode Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) digunakan untuk melakukan pemilihan mengingat metode ini dapat memberi solusi tepat saat mutual conflict terjadi pada beberapa kriteria pemilihan. Penilaian terhadap beberapa alternatif didasarkan atas nilai masing-masing kriteria yang diperoleh dari kuisioner terhadap beberapa stakeholders. Untuk kriteria kualitatif dicari relative weight dengan menggunakan metode Analitik Hierarki Proses (AHP). Nilai relative weight ini kemudian konversi menjadi normalize relative weight, basic probability assigment dan total probability assigment hingga kemudian diperoleh nilai preference degree dari kriteria kualitatif. Selanjutnya nilai prefrence degree kriteria kualitatif ini digabungkan dengan nilai preference degree dari kriteria kuantitatif dan merankingnya dengan metode entropy. Alternatif lokasi yang terpilih adalah alternatif dengan nilai entropy tertinggi. Melalui proses seleksi awal, empat alternatif menjadi kandidat lokasi. Alternatif tersebut adalah Benoa, Celukan Bawang, Pemaron dan Gilimanuk. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa alernatif lokasi yang paling sesuai untuk lokasi penambatan FSRU adalah Celukan Bawang.

Published: November 2023

The high volume of waste generated by both industry and society is a common problem found in almost all cities, especially in big cities like Jakarta. It is influenced by purchasing power and level of population growth. This problem become more worst with the limited landfill (TPA) which are available. Therefore, it is required for an alternative waste management that can reduce waste level in TPA. The objective of this study is to analyze waste management that can reduce the waste level in TPA using simulation based on dynamic system. Simulation results will then be used to look at the feasibility of each alternative waste management based on Cost-Benefit ratio (B/C), whereas to determine the public's perception of alternative waste treatment (in terms of social, economic, environmental and technological aspects), a weighting process will be done using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). TPA Bantar Gebang which serves to accommodate waste generated by Jakarta was chosen as case study. Using simulation, projection of waste disposed to TPA Bantar Gebang for different scenarios to the year 2025 were obtained. Based on the dynamic simulation, AHP, and B/ C analysis, the study shows that the waste management should be done in two stages, first is by composting and then with incenerator.

Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia:

Tingginya volume sampah yang dihasilkan baik oleh industri maupun masyarakat merupakan permasalahan umum yang dijumpai di hampir semua kota, terutama di kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta. Disamping dipengaruhi oleh daya beli masyarakat, permasalahan tingginya volume sampah juga dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pertumbuhan penduduk. Permasalahan ini semakin dipersulit dengan terbatasnya Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA) yang tersedia. Untuk itu diperlukan suatu alternatif pengelolaan sampah yang dapat menurunkan tingkat penumpukan sampah di TPA. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan analisis pengelolaan sampah untuk mengurangi beban penumpukan sampah di TPA dengan menggunakan simulasi berdasarkan pendekatan sistem dinamis. Hasil simulasi selanjutnya akan digunakan untuk melihat kelayakan dari setiap alternatif pengelolaan sampah berdasarkan perhitungan Cost-Benefit ratio (B/C), sedangkan untuk mengetahui pandangan masyarakat terhadap alternatif pengolahan sampah (dilihat dari aspek sosial, ekonomi, lingkungan dan teknologi), maka dilakukan pula proses pembobotan dengan Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Sebagai studi kasus dipilih TPA Bantar Gebang yang berfungsi untuk menampung sampah yang dihasilkan oleh DKI Jakarta. Dengan menggunakan simulasi didapatkan proyeksi sampah yang dihasilkan dan akan dibuang ke TPA Bantar Gebang untuk berbagai skenario hingga tahun 2025. Berdasarkan hasil analisa, baik dengan sistem dinamik maupun dengan Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) dan Benefit-Cost ratio (B/C), maka sebaiknya pengelolaan sampah di DKI dilakukan secara bertahap, pertama adalah dengan pengomposan dan kemudian dengan incenerator.

This research develops the settlement mechanism in the Real Time Gross Settlement using so called clearing house through a serious game method. In this approach banks are represented as nodes that do the settlement process according to the simple rules. Moreover, the graph mining approach is used for predicting the activity networks on those banks. As the result, for constant nodes indicate that the more the activity networks among banks are available, the more the activity networks can be identified. Furthermore, the smaller the differences among the bank health’s level are, the greater the network activities can be identified. This behavior is a consequence of chosen fixed point assumption.
