Published: July 2024

Abstract
Jepara is one of the rice-producing centers in Central Java. The price of rice in Jepara always experiences an increase, which is not always the same as changes in the price of grain at the producer level. The differences in price movements in the market vertically indicate the need to study integration analysis and vertical price transmission. This study aims to analyze the market integration and price transmission of grain and rice between producers and consumer in Jepara Regency. The data used is secondary data in the form of daily data on the real price of dry unhusked rice harvested at the farm level, the price of rice at the mill level and the price of rice at the consumer level in Jepara Regency from 2020 to 2022 from the Office of Agriculture and Plantation of Central Java Province and the Food Security and Agriculture Service, Jepara Regency. Data was analysed using the VECM (Vector Auto Correction Model). The results showed that there was a vertical price asymmetry in the short and long term between the price of grain at the producer level (GKP), the price of milled rice (BMP), the price of wholesale rice (HBG) and the price of retail rice (BME) in Jepara Regency. Price formation at the consumer or retail level is influenced by the price of rice at the wholesale level and the price of grain at the farm level. The price of grain at the farm level also affects the price of rice at the milling level and the wholesale level but not vice versa. Thus, it can be concluded that grain producers are the determinants of rice prices in Jepara Regency.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to identify local varieties of garlic that are preferred by customers. The research was conducted in Tabanan Bali from July to October 2021. The methodology was used a combination of demonstration plots and Participatory Research. In the demonstration plot, local varieties of garlic were planted, consisting of 4 varieties of local garlics from Indonesia, namely Kesuna Kayu, Sangga Sembalun, Lumbu Putih, and Lumbu Kuning. The demonstration plot was created for an observation plot for garlics customers, including farmers, traders, and housewives. They participated in implementing Participatory Research to determine their preferences for local garlic varieties of garlic in the demonstration plot. Respondents who participated in this preference test included 28 farmers, 4 traders, and 12 housewives. Each respondent assesses the preference for the predetermined attributes. Farmers assessed garlic attributes in terms of the number of cloves per bulb, bulbs size, bulbs shape, bulbs colour, bulbs diameter, cloves size, cloves shape, bulbs colour, aroma, skin thickness outside bulbs, harvest time and production/yield. Traders assess garlic attributes in terms of the number of cloves per bulb, bulbs size, bulbs shape, bulbs colour, bulbs diameter, clove size, clove shape, clove colour, clove diameter, aroma, skin thickness outside bulbs, easy to peel and easy to grind (to make pasta). Housewives’ consumers assessed garlic attributes in terms of the number of cloves per bulb, bulbs size, bulbs shape, bulbs colour, bulbs diameter, clove size, clove shape, clove colour, aroma, easy to peel, and easy to grind (to make pasta). Rating based on the Likert scale, namely: like very much (score 5), like (score 4), normal (score 3), do not like (score 2), and really do not like (score 1). Based on the results of data analysis, the results obtained are: Kesuna Kayu, as a local Balinese variety, is the first ranked (4.19), followed by Sangga Sembalun (3.81), Lumbu Kuning (3.38), and Lumbu Putih (3.17), respectively.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Increasing food production and security has become the main focus in facing global challenges. In this context, cultivating shallots (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) with a sustainable approach is critical to meeting sustainable food needs. Shallot is one of the horticultural crops that contribute significantly to farmers’ food needs, income, economy, and food supply in Indonesia. However, conventional shallot cultivation practices often face problems such as soil degradation, ecosystem damage, and dependence on synthetic chemicals. Therefore, sustainable shallot cultivation is vital to increase productivity, yield quality, and environmental sustainability. This article provides information and examines a sustainable systems approach in shallot cultivation involving organic farming practices, efficient water management, integrated weed control, and biological protection against diseases and pests. The use of varieties that are resistant to diseases and pests, as well as adaptive to climate change, are also important factors in sustainable shallot cultivation. In this case, technology and innovation in plant breeding can provide solutions to produce more resilient and productive shallot varieties. Sustainable shallot cultivation offers economic benefits for farmers and maintains environmental sustainability and food availability for the community. Therefore, collaboration between the government, farmers, research institutions, and the private sector is key in encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices in shallot cultivation.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) was primarily used as food and feed in Indonesia. Although it has spread in many locations, productivity remains low because of a low emergence percentage and poor stand establishment. One of the most critical elements contributing to this low output is seed vigor. Farmers typically preserve their seed for the following season. Sorghum seed is typically stored in standard storage facilities and other types of warehouses. Environmental factors influencing seed quality in storage include seed viability at harvest, initial seed moisture content, mechanical damage during seed processing, packaging material, temperature and humidity in storage, and biochemical injury of seed tissue. The effect of the storage period on sorghum seed will be discussed in this research.

Abstract
Lack of labor is another obstacle to the characteristics of the tidal swamp land itself so that the use of agricultural equipment and machinery such as Amator can be used as solution. This paper aims to analyze the use of the amator in terms of technical and economic aspects of the equipment so that it is known whether it is efficient and profitable for farmers. Data collection was carried out through observation of equipment performance tests in the field and key informant interviews. This research was carried out in Sri Katon Village, Air Salek District, Banyuasin Regency. The data observed are technical performance including work capacity and work efficiency, as well as economic analysis in the form of basic costs and break-even point of using equipment. The results of the performance test show that the amator has a high efficiency (87.52%) with an effective working capacity value of 0.6244 ha hr−1 (1.6012 hr ha−1). The basic cost incurred for the use of the amator is IDR 193.145 ha−1 with a BEP of 16,8 ha yr−1. The use of amator with seeds only 35 kg ha−1 can save planting costs of IDR 200,000 ha−1 compared to the farmer practice.

Abstract
Goat milk has begun to be popular with Indonesian people, so it has high prospects for development, because of its higher production, and relatively easy maintenance compared to cow’s milk. This study aims to examine the application of Aloe vera (AV) addition and different storage time on goat’s milk yogurt with Spirulina platensis on total lactic acid (TLA), pH value, viscosity, and antioxidant activity. The research design used a completely randomized factorial design with 3 replications each (3×3×3). The first factor was the addition of AV (A0: 0%, A1: 5%, A2: 10%). The second factor was storage time (B0: 0 days, B1: 8 days, B2: 16 days). Data on TLA, pH value, and viscosity were processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Antioxidant activity was analyzed descriptively. The statistical analysis of TLA, pH value, and viscosity yielded significant results on storage time. The use of higher concentrations of AV increased antioxidant activity, and the longer it was stored, the less. Yogurt with 10% AV can be consumed for up to 8 days. Yogurt with the addition of AV up to the highest concentration of 10% can be used because it produces the most antioxidants compared to 0% and 5%, but the storage time is still safe for use up to 8 days because the TLA is still less than 2%.

Abstract
Today’s sweet orange peels can be a valuable waste if used properly. It is known that there is a chemical compound of essential oil that has high economic value in orange peel called limonene, which has a distinctive fresh aroma. Aromatherapy candles are a diversification of candle products that contain essential oils. This study aims to get the best comparison of the quality of stearin and paraffin wax based on SNI 06-0386-1989. This study used a completely randomized design (RAL) with five treatment variations and three replications. The treatment used was a ratio of stearin and paraffin with a ratio of stearin:paraffin of 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, and 80:20. Data analysis used ANOVA with Duncan’s new multiple range test (DNMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the ratio of stearin and paraffin had a significant effect on the melting point test, burn time test, air bubbles, and overall acceptance. The best treatment was a ratio of 50:50 with a melting point test value of 57.90°C, a burn time test of 4.40 hours, a slightly concave normal air bubble test, and overall acceptance of like criteria with a score of 4.2.

Abstract
The local biscuit industry as a potential partner in the agricultural sector continues to grow rapidly. The development of local industries, including the coconut biscuit industry, must be continuouslyoptimized as an approach to empowering local agricultural sector that indirectly play a role in reduce vulnerability of the global food crisis. This makes the industry continue to try to find and adopt efficient and effective ways to increase product value and expand market share, one of the ways is the application of lean manufacturing. In this article, a case study is used in the coconut biscuit industry using the DMAIC analysis method and several tools such as VALSAT, fishbone diagrams and FMEA. Based on the analysis conducted, it is known that in the coconut industry there are several wastes such as unnecessary motion, defects and rework, and waiting with non-value added (NVA) activities for 784s. Therefore, further analysis is carried out regarding the proposed improvements that might be implemented. Some of the suggestions for improvement that can be given are the preparation of a buffer tank that is integrated with aload cell and transfer using a piping system, determine standardization of temperature and treatment of ovens as well as stipulation of work instructions and briefings during the initial process of the production line, analysis and evaluation of capacity, line layout, and lifetime on sugar water silo pumps and adjustments size and maintenance of dough tubs so as to reduce waste and NVA in the production process area.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
In aquaculture, sterile triploids are commonly used for production as sterility gives them potential gains in growth, yields, and quality. However, they cannot be reproduced, and DNA parentage assignment to their diploid or tetraploid parents is required to estimate breeding values for triploid phenotypes. No publicly available software has the ability to assign triploids to their parents. Here, we updated the R package APIS to support triploids induced from diploid parents. First, we created new exclusion and likelihood tables that account for the double allelic contribution of the dam and the recombination that can occur during female meiosis. As the effective recombination rate of each marker with the centromere is usually unknown, we set it at 0.5 and found that this value maximizes the assignment rate even for markers with high or low recombination rates. The number of markers needed for a high true assignment rate did not strongly depend on the proportion of missing parental genotypes. The assignment power was however affected by the quality of the markers (minor allele frequency, call rate). Altogether, 96–192 SNPs were required to have a high parentage assignment rate in a real rainbow trout dataset of 1,232 triploid progenies from 288 parents. The likelihood approach was more efficient than exclusion when the power of the marker set was limiting. When more markers were used, exclusion was more advantageous, with sensitivity reaching unity, very low false discovery rate (&lt;0.01), and excellent specificity (0.96–0.99). Thus, APIS provides an efficient solution to assign triploids to their diploid parents.
Synergistic Treatment of Infected Burn Wound Utilizing Maggot Debridement and Acellular Fish Skin Grafting—A Case Report
Authors: Borger Anton , Semmler Lorenz , Bergmann Felix , Supper Paul , Radtke Christine 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Here, we report about a patient with a full-thickness burn injury of the left lower extremity with approximately 8% of total BSA affected. Initial therapy consisted of necrosectomy and wound coverage with split-thickness graft. The patient developed a wound infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, resulting in the failure of the skin graft to achieve complete healing. The case was further complicated by the patient’s concurrent presentation of anemia, characterized by a hematocrit level of 19.8% on 11th day after admission. Additionally, the patient refused acceptance of any blood transfusion, adding a significant layer of complexity to the management strategy. In summary, the patient’s critical state required an immediate intervention. Due to the contraindication for a further surgical debridement and autograft, we changed the treatment strategy to a conservative approach. First, the wound was debrided employing maggot therapy 17 days after admission. Subsequently, free soft tissue coverage was accomplished using decellularized fish skin dressings on 45th day. This approach yielded satisfactory wound closure. Following an approximately 2-month hospitalization period (52nd day after admission), the patient was discharged with a stable wound condition, nearing complete healing.
Armed Groups, Religious Leaders, and Humanitarian Norms: A Case Study of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Syria and Ansar Allah in Yemen
Authors: Furlan Marta , Abenza Omar Ahmed 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
As international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) continue to be violated, engaging non-state armed groups (NSAGs) remains an arduous task for humanitarian workers. Among the novel approaches to promote and defend these legal regimes among NSAGs, growing attention is devoted to the roles that religious leaders might play in promoting behaviours in compliance with IHL and IHRL. This approach seems especially pertinent in the case of religiously driven NSAGs, such as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in north-west Syria and Ansar Allah in north Yemen. This article aims to provide valuable insight on the potential of humanitarian engagement with religious leaders in these contexts. It starts by exploring the relationship between religious leaders active in north-west Syria and north Yemen and HTS and Ansar Allah respectively. The analysis proceeds by exploring whether those relationships had an impact over the NSAGs’ compliance/non-compliance with IHL and IHRL. Finally, we engage in an explanatory effort to make sense of the similarities and differences identified in the influence that religious leaders exercise (or do not exercise) on HTS and Ansar Allah in matters of humanitarian norms compliance.

Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION
Ingrown toenail is a very common nail disorder, and partial matricectomy by phenolization is considered the most effective treatment technique. However, the contact time of the phenol with the nail matrix remains debatable.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the recurrence rate of ingrown toenail after partial matricectomy by phenol for 45 seconds.

METHODS
A total of 1,460 surgeries were performed, with a photographic record of 802 pictures for a period of 6 months. The presence of any nail spicule or sign of ingrowth during follow-up was considered a recurrence.

RESULTS
A total of 802 surgeries were evaluated, with the most affected nails being the right (49.3%) and left (48%) big toes and most frequently the lateral fold (54.5%). The recurrence rate was 0.75% at 3 months and 1.87% at 6 months, and the medial nail fold had a higher recurrence rate than the lateral nail fold.

CONCLUSION
Forty-five seconds of contact time of 88% phenol with the nail matrix was enough and effective, resulting in low recurrence rates. Prospective studies are needed to better assess postoperative morbidity.

Background:
Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a diagnosis of esophageal intestinal metaplasia, which can progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and guidelines recommend endoscopic surveillance for early detection and treatment of EAC. However, current practices have limited effectiveness in risk-stratifying patients with BE.

Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate use of the TSP-9 test in risk-stratifying clinically relevant subsets of patients with BE in clinical practice.

Methods:
TSP-9 results for tests ordered by 891 physicians for 8080 patients with BE with clinicopathologic data were evaluated. Orders were from nonacademic (94.3%) and academic (5.7%) settings for nondysplastic BE (NDBE; n=7586; 93.9%), indefinite for dysplasia (IND, n=312, 3.9%), and low-grade dysplasia (LGD, n=182, 2.3%).

Results:
The TSP-9 test scored 83.2% of patients with low risk, 10.6% intermediate risk, and 6.2% high risk, respectively, for progression to HGD/EAC within 5 years. TSP-9 provided significant risk-stratification independently of clinicopathologic features, within NDBE, IND, and LGD subsets, male and female, and short- and long-segment subsets of patients. TSP-9 identified 15.3% of patients with NDBE as intermediate/high-risk for progression, which was 6.4 times more than patients with a pathology diagnosis of LGD. Patients with NDBE who scored intermediate or high risk had a predicted 5-year progression risk of 8.1% and 15.3%, respectively, which are similar to and higher than published progression rates in patients with BE with confirmed LGD.

Conclusions:
The TSP-9 test identified a high-risk subset of patients with NDBE who were predicted to progress at a higher rate than confirmed LGD, enabling early detection of patients requiring management escalation to reduce the incidence of EAC. TSP-9 scored the majority of patients with NDBE as low risk, providing support to adhere to 3- to 5-year surveillance per guidelines.
