Relatively little is known about the feeding habit of the Royal Bengal Tiger of Sundarbans and the relative biomass of individual prey base species that the predator consumes during each kill. This is the first attempt to collect such data from the study area. Data sets of two phases have been used. Identification of undigested remains of 214 tiger scat samples was carried out. A comparison with Sundarbans tigers in zoo has been made. In its natural habitat, the tiger consumes more of spotted deer, followed by wild boar, rhesus monkey, and water monitor. Though the tiger consumes a relatively low proportion of small prey species to meet its dietary requirements, it gains importance in the present perspective. Significant increase is noted in the relative number of prey species consumed in the second phase, which correlates well with increased prey availability. Hypotheses formulated to find the difference in prey biomass and relative number of prey consumed have been tested statistically. A significant difference in terms of relative number of prey consumed only was derived which has been qualitatively correlated with the positive effect of increased vigilance, as revealed by secondary data, on conserving tiger habitat vis-a-vis the increased prey availability in Sundarbans.

Abstract Background Growth retardation is a common health problem, which requires early prevention and detection. This study was conducted to define the approximate age at which stunting starts among the Iranian boys and girls. Method The second phase of a population-based retrospective cohort nested case-control study on 400 children who were followed from birth to 7 years of age. This study was performed to define the pattern of growth among stunted and normal children and to reveal the age at which stunting starts in each gender. Results Of the selected participants, 53% were girls. Also, about 18% of the children registered by the selected health centers were defined as stunted (under the 3rd percentile of the corresponding sex-age NCHS/WHO growth reference). For boys, the height was relatively similar between the two groups until the age of 6 months at which the difference in height between normal and stunted children starts to become significantly large (difference = 0.70 cm, P = 0.04). For girls, height in the two groups is relatively similar until the age of 9 months at which the difference starts to become significantly large (difference = 0.97 cm, P = 0.01). No significant difference in the weight of the girls was observed between the normal and stunted groups during the study period (difference = 283.21 g, P > 0.05). However, boys from the stunted group were lighter since almost the same time that they started to become significantly shorter (difference = 1265.19 g, P = 0.001). Conclusions Soon after birth (at about the 6 months of age), the growth pattern of some (stunted) children starts to stumble and divert from normal. The sixth month of age is the age at which mothers start weaning with withdrawing breast milk and start supplementary foods and adult diet. A specially designed study is needed to understand the actual reason for observing such a phenomenon among Iranian children.

<p><em>The use of pesticides in rice production has an impact on the environment. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill or control pests. The use of pesticides carries some risks, but farmers are used to using pesticides. However, the use of pesticides may lead to the contamination of groundwater. Therefore, the research question in this study was whether there any differences in rice production before and after pesticide reduction in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the difference between rice production before and after pesticide reduction in Indonesia. The secondary data in this study were rice production data from FAO. Data from 1968 to 1992 were data about rice production before reducing pesticide use in Indonesia, while data from 1993 to 2017 were data about rice production after reducing pesticide use in Indonesia. The applied data analysis was paired sample t-test using SPSS 25. The results indicated that there is a significant difference between rice production before and after reducing pesticide use in Indonesia. </em></p>

This research is aimed to find empirical evidence on whether there is a significant difference between Regionally-Generated Income (Pendapatan Asli Daerah, or PAD) before and after the shift of the collection of Land and Building Taxes for Rural and Urban Sectors (Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan sektor Pedesaan dan Perkotaan, or PBB-P2) to regional governments. PAD is measured by local revenue sources. Three regencies/municipalities that have experienced the shift during the 2011-2013 period were selected for sampling. Secondary data were obtained from Revenue Realization Reports (Laporan Realisasi PAD) of Yogyakarta for the years 2011-2013, Revenue Realization Reports of Sleman and Bantul for the years 2012-2013, and PBB-P2 and the Sales Value of the Tax Object (Nilai Jual Objek Pajak, or NJOP) data obtained from DPPKAD. Meanwhile, primary data were obtained through interviews conducted with the PBB-P2 tax officers. The findings showed a significant difference of PAD. This, however, was not due to the shift of PBB-P2 tax collection to regional governments. The difference was caused by other revenue sources.Keywords: PBB-P2 tax collection shift, PAD

This study aims to determine the difference in value Dividend Payout Ratio is based on EPS, leverage and firm size at the company listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The population is the company paying the dividends consistently over the period 2007-2009 and all taken as sample. Data used in this study is secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Capital Market of Directory (ICMD). Data processing is done by using the Kruskal-Wallis H test method because the data are not normally distributed. Based on the test results found a significant difference between the Dividend Payout Ratio companies that have high EPS with low EPS. Companies that have high EPS paying high dividend payout ratio than companies that have low EPS. The results also found no significant difference between the payment of Dividend Payout Ratio companies that have high leverage with companies that have low leverage, so also there is no difference between large-sized companies with a smaller company.

SUMMARYToxoplasma gondiiis largely transmitted to definitive felid hosts through predation. Not all prey species represent identical risks of infection for cats because of differences in prey susceptibility, exposure and/or lifespan. Previously published studies have shown that prevalence in rodent and lagomorph species is positively correlated with body mass. We tested the hypothesis that different prey species have different infection risks by comparing infection dynamics of feral cats at 4 sites in the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen archipelago which differed in prey availability. Cats were trapped from 1994 to 2004 and anti-T. gondiiIgG antibodies were detected using the modified agglutination test (⩾1:40). Overall seroprevalence was 51·09%. Antibody prevalence differed between sites, depending on diet and also on sex, after taking into account the effect of age. Males were more often infected than females and the difference between the sexes tended to be more pronounced in the site where more prey species were available. A difference in predation efficiency between male and female cats may explain this result. Overall, our results suggest that the composition of prey items in cat diet influences the risk ofT. gondiiinfection. Prey compositon should therefore be considered important in any understanding of infection dynamics ofT. gondii.
