The present study was carried out in the purposively selected Marwar region of Rajasthan. A multistage stratified random sampling design was used to select the districts, blocks, villages and sample households. A sample of 240 households was selected for the present study. Data were collected personally through a well structured and pre-tested interview schedule. It was found that majority of the households (66.25%) were initially providing self medication using traditional practices and in cases of severity of disease/ailment, village quack was consulted. Vaccination of sheep was followed in only 48.75 per cent of the selected households. In addition, in only 36 households (31.25%) the sick animals were isolated from the flock. A variety of traditional practices were observed being followed for treatment of various ailments and diseases of the goat and sheep with the use of locally available material, herbs, etc.

This study was conducted to guide the prioritisation of efforts to manage Cryptosporidum contamination of drinking water supplies in Trinidad, W.I. The main objective was to investigate the relative importance of three main types of sources of Cryptosporidium oocysts: urban, agriculture and wildlife. Weekly surface water samples were collected from 19 sites distributed among three watersheds, and examined for the presence of oocysts. A stratified random sampling design was used with each watershed representing one of the three main sources of oocysts listed above. Results showed a significant association between watershed and the occurrence of positive samples (χ2=16.523, d.f. =2, p = 0.000), indicating that land use influenced the presence of oocysts. Urban and forested lands were the two most important sources of oocysts. There was no apparent association between agriculture and the presence of oocysts, and there was no significant difference between the percentage of positive samples at sites below agricultural facilities and sites not associated with agriculture within a single watershed (χ2=2.45, d.f. =1, p = 0.117). We conclude that urban and wildlife are the main types of sources of Cryptosporidium contamination of surface water, whereas the contribution of agriculture is minor.

Abstract: Dental health as an integral part of public health needs attention of the government and society. Efforts to provide dental care to the community in the field of curative usually a tooth extraction. Lack of knowledge about tooth extraction causes the general public, especially people in West Kombos village avoid prolonged pain even though the tooth can still be maintained. This study aimed to describe the level of public knowledge about tooth extraction based on education and jobs in West Kombos village. This was a cross sectional study. Data were taken by using stratified random sampling method in which the number of samples taken at 5 areas. The result showed that the level of knowledge based on public education 39.7% were in primary school education and the level of knowledge based on jobs 35.87% were housewives. Conclusion: Based on education and jobs, the level of knowledge about tooth extraction among West Kombos people were largely categorized bad.Keywords: knowledge, tooth extractionAbstrak: Kesehatan gigi sebagai bagian integral dari kesehatan umum perlu mendapat perhatian dari pemerintah maupun masyarakat. Upaya pemberian pelayanan kesehatan gigi pada masyarakat dibidang kuratif umumnya berupa pencabutan gigi. Kurangnya pengetahuan tentang pencabutan gigi menyebabkan masyarakat umum khususnya masyarakat di kelurahan Kombos Barat melakukan pencabutan agar terhindar dari rasa sakit berkepanjangan meskipun gigi tersebut masih bisa dipertahankan.

This study aims to determine the effect of policy implementation on the performance of nagari apparatus in nagari financial management in Pasaman Regency. This research was motivated by the lack of implementation of policies on nagari financial management in Pasaman Regency. This study used a quantitative research method conducted on 12 nagari in Pasaman Regency with a population of 96 consisting of walinagari, nagari secretary, three heads of affairs and three section heads. While the number of samples as many as 88 respondents were determined using the Slovin formula. In this study data collection used a Likert Scale with data collection techniques using the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling technique. The results of this study show that partially the communication sub-variables have an effect of 20.5%, sub-variables of resources by 2.6%, sub-disposition variables by 17.1% and sub-variables of birourism structure by 13.5% on the performance of nagari financial management . While simultaneously the policy implementation variables provide a significant influence on the performance of nagari financial management in Pasaman District with a simultaneous influence of 12.8%.

&lt;p&gt;Variables related to terrain morphology are widely used and have proven particularly effective in landslides detection as well as susceptibility modelling. Altitude has often been found as one of the main predictors in landslide modelling, although it does not have clear conceptual or empirical justification as predisposing factor. As most other land-surface variables are derived from it, altitude might be just a surrogate for more meaningful predictors in a statistically-based landslide modeling. For instance, altitude might replace curvature simply because convexities tend to occur in upper parts of a landscape, while concavities are associated with lower altitudes. Our work intends to examine the hypothesis that altitude points out issues in sampling design when appears as a main predictor in landslide modeling. The tests were conducted in two study areas, one in the Buz&amp;#259;u County, Romania and the other in the Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, with landslide inventories available. Two sampling designs were tested in each study area: random sampling over the entire study area (random point allocation within each landslide scarp polygon and the same number of points randomly created outside landslide scarp area, as absence data), and stratified random sampling based on lithological strata. Following stratified random sampling based on lithological homogeneity, three study areas in Buzau and two in Japan resulted. &amp;#160;Variable importance analysis and prediction of landslide scarp were conducted with Random Forest (RF) on databases with presence/absence of landslide scarp and associated values of 14 terrain variables. The results of variable importance analysis showed that variable hierarchy changed significantly when using lithological stratified sampling. In the random sampling scenario, altitude showed as the second most important landslide predictor in both study areas. In four out of five cases, the lithologically stratified random sampling led to decrease of altitude importance as landslide predictor, in two cases altitude even being one of least important variables. The results of model performance metrics showed that in four out of five cases the lithologically stratified random sampling significantly improved the prediction. In both areas in Japan, all four metrics show improvement of lithological stratified sampling over random sampling, by 6 and 4 % for AUC, 3% for OOB, 3 and 5 % for OA, and 6 and 10 % for Kappa, respectively. We conclude that landslide modeling is sensitive to lithological homogeneity and the presence of altitude as an important predictor could indicate a bias in the sampling design.&lt;/p&gt;
