Abstract This study was carried out according to the following objectives in the Shoor River Basin in southwestern Iran: (i) Evaluation of ecosystem services (ES) including habitat quality (HQ), carbon storage (CS), nutrient export (NE), and soil export (SE) using the InVEST approach as well as soil quality (SQ) using an integrated quality index; (ii) Assessment of the relationship between ES and SQ with landscape metrics using Pearson correlation test; and (iii) Investigation of the interaction between ES efficiency, SQ and landscape fragmentation using a ternary plot. The results showed that the northern and eastern parts of the region are prioritized for HQ, CS, and SQ but the southern and western parts for NE and SE. The highest ES efficiency and SQ were found for the forests as well as for the ridge/tops landforms. Statistical analysis clarified that there was a positive and significant relationship between HQ and CS (R>0.8) while the relationship of the two with NE was inverse and significant (-0.55<R<-0.50). The correlation between SE and NE was also positive and significant (R>0.50). SQ was also correlated positively and significantly with HQ and CS (0.43<R<0.5) while no relation with NE and SE was found. It was also perceived that increasing the landscape fragmentation decreases HQ, CS, and SQ but increases NE and SE. Besides, the interaction between ES, SQ, and landscape fragmentation across the sub-basins of the study area can change under the influence of the dominant land use and landform types.

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is still increasing in number in the future. Type 2 diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) often appears in adults and the cause is due to a shortage of the hormone insulin on a relative basis, generally appears slowly and gradually worsens. One of the parameters to control blood sugar level is HbA1c. The high HbA1c increases the risks and complications in T2DM patients. This study aimed to obtain the relationship between HbA1c level and GFR among T2DM patients. This was an analytical study using the patient's medical record data. This study was conducted at the Endocrine Clinic and Heart and Hypertension Clinic with a total samples of 65 patients. The results showed that of the 65 subjects, there were 40 male patients and 25 female patients. The Pearson correlation test showed that the relationship of the HbA1c level and GFR had a p value = 0.05 > 0.462 and the correlation r = 0.093. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between HbA1c level and GFR in type 2 DM patients.

The nature of a woman is childbirth, all women at the time of labor need to have a good labour  and give birth to a healthy and perfect baby. Childbirth can be normal, but also many in the process of labor that experienced obstacles so that it is done with the procedure of surgery sectio caesaria (SC). Childbirth with  surgery for some mothers is a scary thing so that not a few mothers who experience anxiety before SC is done. Anxiety is a feeling that is not clear and worried because there is something that threatens one's security. Anxiety in each person is certainly not the same, this anxiety can lead to various changes in the body's system can even interfere with heart function and result in changes in cardiac output. Changes in cardiac output may result in changes in the patient's blood pressure that may affect the success of SC. This research use correlational research design with csoss sectional approach. The location of research is premedication room of operation room of ORPEHA Islamic Hospital Tulungagung with the number of 32 respondents. The results showed the mean cardiac output value of 7625.62. The results of statistical data analysis with Pearson correlation test obtained 0,000 significance results so Ho is rejected which means there is an association between anxiety with cardiac output in patients with SC surgery with large correlation pearson 1, which means the strength of the relationship is very strong. This happens because anxiety can affect the production of catecholamines and cortisol, where this hormone can stimulate the occurrence of vasodilation of blood vessels resulting in blood flowing rapidly and much so that oxygen is distributed more, thus in people who are anxious will an increase in cardiac output. The conclusion of this study is that there is an association between anxiety with cardiac output in patients with preoperative sectio caesarea at the operating room installation of Islamic Orpeha tulungagung public hospital with the strength of the relationship of 1.

Hemoglobin is one of the most important parts of blood in pregnant women because hemoglobin supplies oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, including the fetus a mother is carrying. If the hemoglobin level is outside of the normal range, newborn babies will have abnormal anthropometric features and APGAR scores. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between hemoglobin in pregnant women with anthropometry and APGAR score of newborns. This study uses a retrospective analytics method and is supported by statistical analysis using the Pearson correlation test to obtain the relationship of independent variables with dependent variables. From 100 patient data taken, we found a significant relationship with a weak correlation for the relationship of hemoglobin of pregnant women with infant weight, a significant relationship with a weak correlation for the relationship of hemoglobin of pregnant women with body length, a significant relationship with a weak correlation for the relationship of pregnant women with the circumference of a baby's head, a significant association with a weak correlation for the relationship of hemoglobin in pregnant women with an APGAR score of 5 ', and a meaningful relationship with a weak correlation for an association of hemoglobin in a pregnant woman with an APGAR score of 10'. So, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between hemoglobin in third trimester pregnant women with anthropometry and APGAR score of newborns.
