Gedi is one of the common plants grown in Sulawesi. People recognize the two types of gedi, namely, green gedi and red gedi. The use of red gedi leaves is traditionally believed to cure several diseases, one of these diseases is anemia and as an alternative treatment such as to prevent heart disease. This study aimed to determine the levels of iron (Fe) and potassium (K) that contains in red gedi leaves (Abelmoschus manihot L.). Iron and potassium contents were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (SSA). The average iron content of red gedi leaves from Tentena was 9,760 mg/100 g and from Lasoani was 9,668 mg/100 g while the average potassium content of the red gedi leaves from Tentena was 3,882 mg/100g and from Lasoani was 3,445 mg/100 g.

Significant Difference

The iron content in seminal plasma of normal (n19), oligozoospermic (n11), azoospermic (n12), oligoasthenozoospermic (n19), and asthenozoospermic (n17) subjects was estimated by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The concentration of iron in normal seminal plasma varied from 265 to 365 mg%. The source of iron in seminal plasma seems to be the adnexal glands and not spermatozoa, as azoospermic semen also contained it. A statistically highly significant difference was seen when normal was compared with azoospermia and with asthenozoospermia. The necessary average wastage of iron through semen is calculated as 2.52 mg/day. This value is highly variable according to the seminal volume and frequency of ejaculation.

ABSTRACT Children under five begin to have difficulty eating or just like snacks that are classified as empty calories and nutrition in general.  Therefore it is necessary to enrich local snacks as an alternative for handling nutritional problems.  One of the local snacks that can help improve nutritional problems is serabi with the addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour.  This study aims to determine the iron content of serabi with the addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour.  This research is a type of laboratory research in the field of food.  The serabi formula with the addition of formula concentrations of tempe flour and anchovy flour are F1 (10%: 5%), F2 (15%: 5%), and F3 (25%: 5%).  The method of analysis of iron content is AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer).  The data obtained were analyzed by computer programs using the Friedman test.  The results showed that the iron content was highest at a concentration of 10%: 5%.  The addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour did not have a significant effect on color, aroma, texture and taste.  From the most preferred aspect of serabi color on the addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour the concentration of 10%: 5% while the most preferred aspects of texture, aroma and taste on the addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour concentration of 10%: 5%, 15%:  5%, and 25%: 5%.  It can be concluded that the addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour gives increased levels of iron in the serabi.  The addition of tempe flour and anchovy flour do not have a significant effect on color, aroma, texture and taste in all three concentrations.Keywords: Serabi, tempe flour, anchovy flour

The article is focused on estimation of Zinc in the roadside forages, and blood of buffaloes feeding on these forages. This study was carried out in Sargodha during December 2015 to January 2016 (winter) and May 2016 to June 2016 (summer). Five road sites (Mateela, Faisalabad roadside, Shaheenabad roadside, Bhalwal roadside and 50 chak) were selected from sampling of forages, soil and buffalo blood sample. Heavy metal analysis of all digested samples was done with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Analysis of variance and correlation was done with two way ANOVA. This study regarding the accumulation of zinc in forages, soil and the buffalo blood would help the authorities to exactly determine the agents which are responsible for increasing pollution in the environment.

STUDI PENURUNAN KADAR LOGAM BESI (Fe) DAN LOGAM TEMBAGA (Cu) PADA AIR EMBUNG MENGGUNAKAN ADSORBEN NANOSILIKAABSTRAKPolusi limbah logam berat dalam air merupakan satu permasalahan lingkungan yang penting. Dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut dapat dilakukan purifikasi terhadap air tersebut. Metode yang dapat digunakan untuk purifikasi limbah sangat beragam salah satunya adalah absorpsi. Secara umum metode absorpsi telah banyak digunakan dalam purifikasi air limbah. Metode absorpsi dapat menurunkan kadar logam yang terlarut pada limbah. cair dengan cara menyerap logam-logam tersebut ke dalam permukaan absorbennya. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian ini adalah  untuk menurunkan konsentrasi logam besi (Fe) dan tembaga (Cu) menggunakan adsorben nanosilika. Penelitian ini menggunakan variabel bebas yaitu waktu pengadukan (20 menit, 40 menit, dan 60 menit). Hasil akhir filtrat air embung kemudian diukur absorbansinya menggunakan Spektrofotometer Serapan Atom. Berdasarkan hasil analisa menggunakan instrumen SSA diperoleh hasil bahwa tidak terjadi penurunan logam Fe maupun Cu. Dalam hal ini terjadi peningkatan konsentrasi dalam logam Fe maupun Cu, hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya waktu pengadukan dan pengaruh dari adsorben nanosilika.Kata Kunci: limbah, logam berat, nanosilika STUDY OF DECREASING METALS IRON (Fe) AND COPPER (Cu) ON EMBUNG WATER USE OF NANOSILICA ADSORBEN ABSTRACTHeavy waste pollution of heavy metals in the water is an important environment issue. To solve the problem, its can be purified the water. The methods that can be used for waste purification are very diverse, one of which is absorption. In general, the method of absorption has been widely used in wastewater purification. The absorption method can decrease dissolved metal content in the waste. liquid by absorbing the metals into the absorbent surface. Research has been conducted to reduce the concentration of iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) by using nanosilica adsorbent. This research used to independent variable that is stirring time (20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes). The final result of filtrate embung water then measured its absorbance using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Based on the result of the analysis using SSA instrument, it is found that there is no decrease of Fe and Cu metals. There are several reasons for those problem such as due to lack of stirring time and the influence of nanosilica adsorbent.Keywords: Waste pollution, heavy metal, nanosilica

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji status mineral sapi potong yang dipelihara pada daerah aliran sungai (DAS) Jragung-Tuntang-Serang-Lusi-Juwana (Jratunseluna). Kajian menggunakan metode survei yang melibatkan 30 ekor sapi potong yang dipelihara di dataran rendah dan tinggi DAS Jratunseluna. Pemilihan sapi dilakukan sesuai teknik sampling acak secara purposif. Observasi status Zn didasarkan atas konsentrasi Zn pada tanah, air minum, pakan, dan bulu ternak. Penetapan kadar Zn pada sampel menggunakan atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Parameter data antara daerah dataran rendah dan tinggi dibandingkan menggunakan uji t. Konsentrasi Zn pada tanah dataran rendah dan tinggi masing-masing adalah 17,03 dan 78,25 ppm. Konsentrasi Zn pada pakan dari daerah dataran rendah dan tinggi sangat beragam. Konsentrasi Zn pada bulu ternak di dataran rendah dan tinggi masing-masing adalah 86,01 dan 81,19 ppm. Kadar Zn pada air minum tidak terdeteksi secara jelas baik di dataran endah maupun dataran tinggi. Konsentrasi Zn pada tanah dan pakan di daerah dataran rendah dan tinggi dapat dikategorikan sebagai kadar sedang sampai tinggi. Namun, data kadar Zn pada bulu ternak menunjukkan bahwa sapi potong yang dipelihara baik di dataran rendah dan tinggi ternasuk defisien ringan.

Protein Losing Enteropathy Post Fontan procedure. Protein Losing Enteropathy (PLE) is an uncommon cause of edema in children with congenital heart disease. Protein-Losing Enteropathy may be defined as excessive loss of proteins across the intestinal mucosa and is due to either a primary gastrointestinal abnormality or secondary to cardiac disease. Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare complication of the Fontan palliation for functional single-ventricle. Although PLE occurs in about 3.5% of patients post-Fontan, it confers marked morbidity and high mortality within 5 years of diagnosis. The pathogenesis of Fontan-related PLE is not completely understood, and it is unclear why it develops in some patients post-Fontan and not others. We describe a child with Double Inlet Right Ventricle who had undergone Fontan procedure, and presented to us with generalised oedema. The child had hypoproteinaemia, the common causes for which were ruled out and was diagnosed as Protein Losing Enteropathy (PLE) related to his surgical intervention. Though, not frequently encountered it should be kept in mind as one of the causes of anasarca.
