The influence of altitude of coffee plant and soil pH and organic carbon on alkaloid contents of green coffee beans was evaluated. The alkaloids content of 54 green coffee beans samples collected from coffee plants in Sidama, Illubabor, Jimma, Wellega and Gedeo grown at different altitudes (1515-2220 masl) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The caffeine and trigonelline were found in the range of 0.68-1.74% (w/w) and 0.68-1.44% (w/w), respectively. Theobromine was detected in only 18 samples and ranged 0.0186-0.32% (w/w). Theophylline was not detected in any of the green coffee beans samples. A weak negative correlation (R = -0.222) was found between the caffeine contents and the altitude of the coffee plants while a very weak positive correlation (R = 0.072) was found between the trigonelline contents and the altitude of the coffee plants. A strong negative correlation (R = -0.775) was found between the trigonelline contents and the caffeine content. A weak negative correlation was found between the caffeine contents and the soil organic carbon (R = -0.279) and between the trigonelline contents and the soil organic carbon (R = -0.101) while a weak positive correlation was found between the caffeine contents and the soil pH (R = 0.173) and between the trigonelline contents and the soil pH (R = 0.358) at which the coffee plants were grown.

Gender imbalance exists in nearly everyundergraduate engineering department in Canada. Thereis evidence that subtle gendered wording may influenceperceptions of women’s fit in a field. In this study, weapplied a content analysis approach to evaluating thepresence of gendered words in engineeringundergraduate recruitment materials and compared theseresults to enrolment data and other factors for 18English-language Canadian engineering schools. To ourknowledge, this is the first evaluation of genderedwording in recruitment materials as a factor in theenrolment of women in engineering. We found that the useof feminine wording in recruitment materials has a weak,negative correlation with enrolment of women students,but a positive correlation with percentage of femalefaculty members. Our data point to the need for furtheranalysis of recruitment material and with attentionfocused on the performance of gender in this material,and how it and other factors may influence enrolment.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is a chronic disease and can cause complications, one of which is decreased kidney function. Anemia is a complication of T2DM, especially if it is accompanied by renal disorders. The aim of this study was to show the relationship between HbA1c and hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in T2DM respondents with and without complications of chronic renal failure (CRF). This study used a subset of the Non-Communicable Diseases cohort data set by the Center for Public Health Efforts in Central Bogor sub-district, Bogor City. The research design was an analytic observational study. Respondents were all T2DM with complete data as much as 303 people. The respondents diagnosed based on the results of previous blood sugar tests. The inclusion criteria were people with T2DM who had complete data (HBA1c, Hb, HCT, and creatinine). Bivariate analysis between the dependent variable (T2DM with or without CRF) and the independent variable (HbA1c, Hb, HCT, creatinine, and LFG) used the Spearman correlation. The results showed a strong positive correlation between HbA1c and Hb (r = 0,66, p<0,05) and HCT (r = 0,67, p<0,05)in T2DM respondents with CRF, but there is no correlation between HbA1c and creatinine and LFG. In T2DM without CRF there is a weak positive correlation between HbA1c and Hb (r = 0,26, p<0,05) and HCT (r = 0,21, p<0,05), a negative correlation between HbA1c and creatinine (r = -0,29, p<0,05), and there is a weak positive correlation between HbA1c and LFG (r = 0,24, p<0,05 ). The conclusion is that controlling blood sugar by examining HbA1c levels shows a strong positive correlation with Hb levels and HCT in T2DM with CRF and a weak negative correlation with LFG in T2DM without CRF. This difference is not in accordance with the existing theory Abstrak  Diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DMT2) merupakan penyakit kronik dan dapat menimbulkan komplikasi, salah satunya adalah penurunan fungsi ginjal. Anemia merupakan komplikasi DMT2 khususnya jika disertai gangguan renal. Tujuan penelitian ini menunjukkan hubungan hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) dengan hemoglobin (Hb), hematokrit (HCT), kreatinin, dan laju filtrasi glomerulus (LFG) pada responden DMT2 dengan dan tanpa komplikasi gagal ginjal kronik (GGK). Penelitian ini menggunakan subset data kohor penyakit tidak menular (PTM) yang dilakukan oleh Puslitbang Upaya Kesehatan Masyarakat di Kecamatan Bogor Tengah, Kota Bogor. Desain penelitian adalah studi observasional analitik. Responden adalah semua penderita DMT2 dengan data lengkap sebanyak 303 orang yang didiagnosis berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan gula darah sebelumnya. Kriteria inklusi adalah penderita DMT2 yang memiliki data lengkap (HbA1c, Hb, HCT, dan kreatinin). Analisis bivariat antara variabel dependen (DMT2 dengan atau tanpa GGK) dengan variabel independen (HbA1c, Hb, HCT, kreatinin dan LFG) mengunakan korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada responden DMT2 dengan GGK terdapat korelasi positif yang kuat antara HbA1c dengan Hb (r = 0,66, p<0,05) dan HCT (r = 0,67, p<.0,05). Sedangkan HbA1c dengan kreatin dan LFG tidak terdapat korelasi. Pada DMT2 tanpa GGK terdapat korelasi positif lemah antara HbA1c dengan Hb (r = 0,26, p<0,05 ) dan HCT (r = 0,21, p<0,05), terjadi korelasi negatif antara HbA1c dengan kreatinin sebesar (r = -0,29, p<0,05), dan terdapat korelasi positif lemah antara HbA1c dengan LFG ( r = 0,24, p<0,05 ). Simpulan yang dapat diambil adalah pengontrolan gula darah dengan pemeriksaan kadar HbA1c menunjukkan korelasi positif yang kuat dengan kadar Hb dan HCT pada DMT2 dengan GGK dan korelasi negatif lemah dengan LFG pada DMT2 tanpa GGK. Perbedaan tersebut belum sesuai teori yang ada.

For almost two decades, studies have been under way in Brazil, showing how hydroelectric reservoirs produce biogenic gases, mainly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), through the organic decomposition of flooded biomass. This somewhat complex phenomenon is due to a set of variables with differing levels of interdependence that directly or indirectly affect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The purpose of this paper is to determine, through a statistical data analysis, the relation between CO2, CH4 diffusive fluxes and environmental variables at the Furnas, Itumbiara and Serra da Mesa hydroelectric reservoirs, located in the Cerrado biome on Brazil's high central plateau. The choice of this region was prompted by its importance in the national context, covering an area of some two million square kilometers, encompassing two major river basins (Paraná and Tocantins-Araguaia), with the largest installed power generation capacity in Brazil, together accounting for around 23% of Brazilian territory. This study shows that CH4 presented a moderate negative correlation between CO2 and depth. Additionally, a moderate positive correlation was noted for pH, water temperature and wind. The CO2 presented a moderate negative correlation for pH, wind speed, water temperature and air temperature. Additionally, a moderate positive correlation was noted for CO2 and water temperature. The complexity of the emission phenomenon is unlikely to occur through a simultaneous understanding of all the factors, due to difficulties in accessing and analyzing all the variables that have real, direct effects on GHG production and emission.

Aim: Broilers' optimum performance in response to their genetic potential depends on litter environment which is ideal for bacterial survival and coccidian oocyst sporulation. An in vitro evaluation was conducted for the effectiveness of superphosphate, meta-bisulfide, and charcoal litter amendments in minimizing Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium survival, Eimeria oocyst count, and sporulation. Materials and Methods: Three groups of 16 litter trays were prepared and inoculated with E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, and Eimeria non-sporulated oocyst. A set of four trays in each group was designed for each one of the chemical amendments. A total of 720 litter samples were collected and examined for bacterial counts, Eimeria oocyst count, and sporulation during the experimental period (35 days). Results: Litter moisture and pH revealed a highly significant (p<0.001) reduction in all treated litter trays compared to control. Total bacterial count (TBC), total Enterobacteriaceae count, and S. Typhimurium count showed a highly significant (p<0.001) reduction in meta-bisulfide-treated trays compared to other amendments and positive control. Meanwhile, Eimeria oocyst count and sporulation revealed a highly significant (p<0.001) reduction in superphosphate, meta-bisulfide, and charcoal-treated trays, respectively. Temperature revealed a highly significant (p<0.001) weak positive correlation with pH of all inoculated trays, a highly significant (p<0.001) weak negative correlation with moisture percentage of E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium inoculated trays, and a highly significant (p<0.001) weak negative correlation with TBC. Meanwhile, relative humidity revealed significant (p≤0.005) weak positive correlation with moisture percentage of E. coli O157:H7 inoculated trays. Conclusion: The study concluded that regular usage with periodical reapplication of litter amendments as meta-bisulfide or superphosphate in poultry farms is one of the indispensable managemental and preventive measures for minimizing bacterial survival and inhibiting Eimeria oocyst maturation and sporulation. Keywords: charcoal, Eimeria, Escherichia coli, litter, meta-bisulfide, Salmonella, superphosphate.
