Abstract Rays are cartilaginous fishes that are commonly caught by fishermen in Java Sea especially in Jakarta Bay. One species of rays that has been oftenly caught is Himantura walga. Even though they are not categorized as target fishes, rays are susceptible to excessive fishing, due to their biological characteristics, so an effort is needed to conserve these fishes in the nature. As a first step to their conservation, an initial survey about its reproduction was done for Himantura walga. The survey covered spread of width size, sex ratio, growth pattern, sexual maturity level and the width size of males and females when they reach sexual maturity. Method used was descriptive with both market and purposive sampling. Chi square analysis showed that male and female ratio were well balanced. Result of regression showed that the width-weight correlation between male and female rays was allometrically positive. Most Captured males showed that their sexual maturity were at fully calcified stage (FC) while most females were at immature stage (TKG 1), according to their gonad condition. Males tend to reach sexual maturity earlier and have smaller body than females. Hence, it is advised for the fishermen to use selective fishing gears that are only able to capture adult rays. Key words: Himantura walga, rays, reproduction biology

Kepiting bakau Scylla sp. merupakan salah satu biota laut yang mempunyai nilai ekonomis penting. Penyebarannya hampir di seluruh kawasan pesisir Indonesia, yang memiliki ekosistem mangrove termasuk di perairan Kendal. Banyaknya penangkapan kepiting bakau tanpa memperhatikan ukuran yang layak tangkap. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh beberapa aspek reproduksi kepiting bakau Scylla sp. di perairan Kendal, Jawa Tengah. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada bulan Februari–Maret 2017, dua minggu sekali selama dua bulan di perairan Kendal, Jawa Tengah. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif eksploratif dengan parameter pendukung seperti suhu, salinitas, pH, dan DO. Materi yang digunakan adalah kepiting bakau Scylla sp. Analisis yang digunakan untuk menghitung perbandingan jumlah kepiting bakau jantan dan betina adalah uji chi square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komposisi ukuran kepiting bakau mempunyai lebar karapas 81-130 mm, berat 100-350 gram dengan ukuran rata-rata yang tertangkap 99,62 mm, perbandingan jantan dan betinanya 1:2,09. Hubungan lebar karapas dengan berat menunjukkan sifat allometrik positif. Faktor kondisi yang didapatkan adalah 1,0185. Tingkat kematangan gonad kepiting bakau di dominasi oleh TKG II, nilai indeks kematangan gonad pada kepiting bakau betina berkisar antara 6,84% - 18,49%. Tingkat kematangan gonad yang di dominasi oleh TKG II dikarenakan di lokasi penelitian tidak sedang masa pemijahan.   Mangrove crab (Scylla sp.) is one of the marine biota that it has value economically important. It spreads in almost all over coastal areas of Indonesia, which has the mangrove ecosystem. Mangrove crab has a high nutritional value. Thus, encouraging people in Kendal to consume a large amount of mangrove crab and reach the local market demand.This led to the occurrence of a lot of mangrove crab catching regardless of the size of the catch.Therefore, this study was conducted to obtain some of reproduction aspects of Scylla sp. in the Kendal waters, Central Java. Sampling was conducted in February-March 2017,every two weeks in two months in Kendal waters, Central Java. The method used in this research was descriptive explorative method with supporting parameters such as temperature, salinity, pH, and DO. The used material was mangrove crab (Scylla sp.). Chi square test was used to analyze and calculate the ratio of male and female mangrove crabs. The results showed that the size composition of mangrove crab had a carbide width of 71-130 mm, weight of 100-350 grams, with average size captured was 99.62 mm, male and female ratio of 1: 2.09. The Relations between width and weight of caparace indicated negative allometric properties. The obtained condition factor was 1.0184767. Maturity level of mangrove crab gonad was dominated by TKG II, gonad index maturity value on female mangrove crab ranged between 6.84% - 18.49%. The maturity level of gonad was dominated by TKG IIbecause the research location was not in the spawning period.

Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2002 sampai dengan 2003 di tempat pendaratan ikan Muara Angke dan Laboratorium Balai Riset Perikanan Laut Muara Baru, Jakarta. Data aspek biologi reproduksi ikan pari blentik (Dasyatis cf. kuhlii), berasal dari hasil tangkapan sampingan dari alat tangkap jaring dasar yang beroperasi di Laut Jawa dan didaratkan di tempat pendaratan ikan Muara Angke. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ukuran lebar tubuh ikan pari blentik (Dasyatis cf. kuhlii) terkecil antara 170 sampai dengan 190 mm dan ukuran terbesar antara 330 sampai dengan 350 mm. Hubungan antara lebar cawan dan panjang klasper ikan pari blentik (Dasyatis cf. kuhlii) menunjukan hubungan yang linier (R2=0,7629). Kondisi klasper belum terjadi pengapuran atau sebagian mengandung zat kapur (non or partially calcified claspers) terdapat pada ukuran lebar tubuh <200 mm, sedangkan kondisi klasper penuh zat kapur (fully calcified claspers) terdapat pada ukuran lebar tubuh >250 mm. Ukuran embrio terkecil dijumpai pada bulan Januari yaitu antara 25 sampai dengan 30 mm dan terbesar antara 110 sampai dengan 115 pada bulan Agustus. Sebagian besar ikan pari blentik (Dasyatis cf. kuhlii) jantan yang tertangkap di Laut Jawa dalam kondisi matang kelamin. Berdasarkan pada uji X2, perbandingan kelamin jantan dan betina berbeda nyata (P<0,1). This study was conducted at Muara Angke fish landing site and Research Institute for Marine Fisheries Laboratory Muara Baru Jakarta on 2002 to 2003. Reproduction biology data of Dasyatis cf. kuhlii were taken from catched of bottom net fishing gear that operated in the Java Sea. The result showed that the smallest and the biggest of Dasyatis cf. kuhlii ranging from 170 to 190 mm and 330 to 350 mm disc width, respectively. Relationship between clasper length and disc width was linier (R2=0.7629). Condition of sex maturity stage of male was non or partially calcified claspers found at size <200 mm Wd, while fully calcified claspers was found at size >250 mm Wd. The smallest size embryo of ranging from 25 to 30 mm was found in January and the biggest ranging from 110 to 115 mm was found from in August. Most of Dasyatis cf. kuhlii caught in the Java Sea were mature. Sex ratio was significant different between male and female (X2 test, P<0.1).

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) patients who initially present with intracerebral haemorrhage may have an identifiable source of bleeding on angiogram, which can be a treatment target. Previous work suggests that the re-bleed rate may be lowered if a weak area is eliminated. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who presented over a six-year period with a bled AVM. Cases were reviewed looking for the source of the hemorrhage by correlating haematoma location on CT or MRI and any angio-architectural weakness seen on digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Neuroendovascular notes were reviewed to identify the treatment targets. One hundred patients presented with a brain AVM with a 1.7:1 male: female ratio, 41 patients had an initial presentation of hemorrhage. The source of hemorrhage was identified in 18 subjects with 11 intranidal false aneurysms, five flow-related aneurysms, two associated aneurysms and one venous pouch. The location of haemorrhage on the presenting scan significantly correlated with the identified bleeding source using Chi-square analysis (P-value 0.039). Partial targeted embolization was used successfully in 90% with a 9% related technical complication rate not resulting in long-term morbidity or mortality. The mean follow-up period was 34 months with an annual hemorrhage rate of 0.7%. In just under half the patients with AVM bleeding a source of haemorrhage can be identified on DSA and in most cases this will be an intranidal false aneurysm. Flow-related and associated aneurysms in patients with brain AVM can cause haemorrhage and these patients are more likely to have SAH than intracerebral haemorrhage. These weak points are a good target for partial endovascular treatment, are usually accessible and may reduce the higher haemorrhage rate expected over the next two years.

Abstract Background: Cataract is a major contributor to avoidable blindness in the world and greatly impact negatively on the quality of life. The prevalence of blindness in Kenya is estimated at 0.7% with cataract contributing 43%. Optometrists being the primary eye care providers for cataract patients, they are well placed to assess and refer cataract patients. Though there is no data on optometrist knowledge, skill and practice on cataract in Kisumu, Kenya. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. The study was conducted from June 2019 to August 219 using self-administered questionnaire. We collected basic socio-demographic characteristics and investigated participants’ knowledge, skills and practice on cataract. The primary outcome measures were the proportions of participants who identified the questions related to knowledge, skills and practice on cataract. Chi-square analysis was performed to look at the association between demographic and practice, knowledge and skills. Results: A total of 49 optometrists were interviewed with a male to female ratio of 2:1, mean age of 30.4(72%) years and mean duration of practice of one to ten years. Majority of the optometrists had good knowledge on various aspects of cataract. Like 98% had a good knowledge on the types of cataract. Based on skills, 75.5% could diagnose cataract correctly. However, 57.1% could not identify nuclear cataract. Practice among the optometrists was largely low in the sense that, 61.2% of optometrists did not screen patients aged 40 years and above for cataract. Almost half of the optometrists, 52.6% did a routine eye examination but did not know the importance of examining the crystalline lens for patient above 40 years. Conclusion The study established that despite the good level of knowledge among the optometrist on cataract, there exist gaps in skills in categorizing the type of cataract and practice. The results of this study calls for skills development training for optometrists on cataract and immediate ophthalmic division response for improvement on the scope of training for optometrists. This will eases diagnosis of cataract and its management so as to reduce its burden in Kenya.

Gonialosa manmina was found to spawn once in a year from February to July in the Kaptai Lake. The fish was found to attain sexual maturity at 80 mm total length. Sex ratio of male and female was 1:2.39 (?2 = 26.25, df = 1, P<0.01). Female dominated significantly over male throughout the year. Seven stages of maturity were determined on the basis of morphological characteristics of gonads and diameter of ova. Fecundity of 24 fishes ranged from 13460 eggs to 56980 eggs with a mean of 32003±12612 eggs. Fecundity factor was 1882 eggs g-1 body weight. Fecundity (F) was highly correlated (P<0.001) with total length (TL), body weight (BW), ovary length (OL) and ovary weight (OW) and the relationships were as follows:F = 1.0080 TL 2.1648 or Log F = 0.0035 + 2.1648 Log TL (r = 0.977, t = 21.49) F = 2.8807 SL 2.0420 or Log F = 0.4595 + 2.0420 Log SL (r = 0.958, t = 15.66) F = 5477.722 BW 0.6332 or Log F = 3.7386 + 0.6332 Log BW (r = 0.990, t = 32.91) F = 12.516 OL 2.2057 or Log F = 1.0975 + 2.2057 Log OL (r = 0.987, t = 28.80) F = 934.544 OW 0.5062 or Log F = 2.9706 + 0.5062 Log OW (r = 0.996, t = 52.28) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cujbs.v3i1.13414 The Chittagong Univ.

The aim of this pilot study was to explore disordered eating (DE) literacy in male and female athletes and to examine whether any gender differences were present. A related aim was to examine the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between indices of DE literacy and attitudes toward help-seeking for DE. A nonclinical sample of 133 (37% male) athletes from a variety of sports and competitive levels were recruited to complete an online questionnaire addressing a range of topics linked to DE literacy. Chi-square analysis indicated no significant gender differences on indicators of DE literacy. Findings from the survey revealed a number of beliefs conducive to low or inappropriate help-seeking for DE. The results highlight the importance of exploring DE literacy in athletes to develop more targeted interventions for this specific population.

Abstract Background: Cataract not only contributes to blindness which is avoidable, but also impact negatively on the quality of life. The total prevalence of blindness in Kenya is estimated at 0.7%, however cataract contributes almost half (43%) of the total blindness in Kenya. Optometrists are well placed to assess and refer cataract patients however, little is known on their skills, practice and knowledge. Therefore, this study was designed to assess optometrists’ knowledge, skill and practice on cataract in Kisumu, Kenya. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. The study was conducted from June 2019 to August 219 using self-administered questionnaire. Basic socio-demographic characteristics were collected and participants’ knowledge, skills and practice on cataract investigated. The primary outcome measures were the proportions of participants who identified the questions related to knowledge, skills and practice on cataract. Chi-square analysis was performed to assess the association between demographic characteristics with practice, knowledge and skills. Results: A total of 49 optometrists were interviewed with a male to female ratio of 2:1, mean age of 30.4 years and mean duration of practice of 1-10 years. Most optometrists had good knowledge on various aspects of cataract. For example (98%) had a good knowledge on the types of cataract. Almost three quarter (75.5%) of the optometrists reported that they could diagnose cataract correctly based on skills. However, half (57.1%) of the optometrists could not identify nuclear cataract. Being a self reported practice and not observed practice, most optometrists (61.2%) reported that they do not screen patients aged 40 years and above for cataract. Almost half (52.6%) of the optometrists reported that they always do a routine eye examination but they do not know the importance of examining the crystalline lens for patient above 40 years. Conclusion The study established that despite the good level of knowledge among optometrist on cataract, there exist a gap on skills and practice. The results of this study calls for more clinical based activities among optometrists and other cadres. This will eases diagnosis of cataract and its management so as to reduce its burden in Kenya.

One of the transitions from adolescence to adulthood is the admission of students to a university setting. Accompanying this transition is a new-found independence which results in university students having more autonomy over their lifestyles and behaviours. The assumption in this setting is that many students are likely to engage in unhealthy and risky lifestyle behaviours which include alcohol abuse, tobacco use, physical inactivity and unhealthy dietary practices which may adversely affect their health in the long-term. In South Africa, research with regard to health and lifestyle patterns amongst both male and female young adults remains limited. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate whether male and female students differed in relation to their health and lifestyles, as well as the related consequences thereof. A convenience sampling technique was used, where questionnaires were administered to 400 students at three university campuses in the Gauteng province of South Africa. An exploratory data analysis for health factors was used in order to retrieve relevant factors from a factor and regression analysis. Differences in gender were tested by using cross-tabulation for descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis. The study found no statistically-significant differences between genders relating to the three emerging health factors, namely Gastrointestinal, Upper Respiratory Infections and Total Health Problems. However, descriptive statistics of lifestyle habits revealed that more female students exercised, smoked and binged on food than their male counterparts. It was also found that female students reported a higher incidence of stress than male students. It was concluded that university students do indeed engage in behaviours and lifestyles that place them at risk for serious health problems.In die oorgang van adolessensie na jong volwassene, bevind studente hulself binne ’n universiteitsomgewing. Gepaartgaande met hierdie oorgang word nuutgevonde vryheid verkry, wat veroorsaak dat universiteitstudente meer beheer oor hul lewenstyl en gedrag uitoefen. Die waarskynlikheid bestaan dat baie studente in hierdie omgewing betrokke sal raak by ’n ongesonde en gewaagde lewenstyl, wat alkohol misbruik, tabak gebruik, fisieke onaktiwiteit en ongesonde eetgewoontes insluit. Bogenoemde is faktore wat student se gesondheid oor die langtermyn nadelig sal beïnvloed. Navorsing in Suid-Afrika oor gesondheid en lewenstylpatrone van verskillende geslagsgroepe onder jong volwassenes is skaars. Die doel van hierdie studie was dus om ondersoek in te stel aangaande geslagsverskille in gesondheid en lewenstyl van studente, asook die betrokke nagevolge daarvan. ’n Gerieflikheids-steekproeftegniek is gebruik waartydens 400 vraelyste aan studente by drie verskillende universiteitskampusse in die Gauteng provinsie in Suid-Afrika versprei is. ’n Ondersoekende data analiese vir gesondheidsfakore is gebruik om toepaslike faktore te verkry vanuit ’n faktor- en regressie analiese. Geslagsverskille is getoets deur gebruik te maak van kruis-tabulering vir beskrywende statistiek asook ’n ‘Chi-square’ analiese. Die studie het geen statisties-betekenisvolle verskille tussen geslagte getoon ten opsigte van die drie gesondheidsfaktore naamlik Gastro-intestinale, Boonste Asemhalingstelsel en Totale Gesondheid Probleme nie. Nietemin het beskrywende statistiek ten opsigte van lewenstyl gewoontes egter onthul dat meer vroulike studente aan fisieke aktiwiteit delneem, rook en hul vergryp aan kos. Daar is ook gevind dat vroulike studente meer gevalle van spanning gerapporteer het as manlike studente. Die gevolgtrekking is dus dat universiteitstudente wel betrokke raak by gedrag en lewenstyle wat hul in gevaar stel vir ernstige gesondheidsprobleme.
