ABSTRAKSelama ini petani menanam pisang hanya mengandalkan bibit dari anakan yang tumbuh dari pangkal pisang. Dampaknya produk pisang selalu tidak optimal. Permasalahan ini merupakan masalah serius, sehingga perlu dicari alternative solusi. Salah satusolusi yang dapat memperkecil permasalahan bibit pisang adalah dengan menggunakan biochar dan Mikro Organisme Lokal (MOL) dari bonggol pisang. Kedua bahan ini merupakn potensi sumberdaya alam yang selama ini masih belum banyak dimanfaatkan untuk memperbaiki mutu bibit pisang. Kombinasi biochar dan MOL bonggol pisang diharapkan mampu menghasilkan bibit tanaman pisang yang berkualitas baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan dosis biochar dan MOL bonggol pisang yang tepat untuk pembibitan pisang. Hasil analisis sidik ragam menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan yang siginifikan pada kombinasi perlakuan pemberian biochar dan MOL bonggol pisang (B) dengan umur anakan bonggol pisang (P) pada semua parameter pengamatan. Perlakuan anakan bonggol pisang terbaik terdapat pada perlakuan anakan bonggol umur dewasa (P2) karena berpengaruh hampir pada semua parameter yang diamati. Perlakuan pemberian biochar dan MOL bonggol pisang (B) pada semua parameter tidak berbeda nyata, namun secara terpisah perlakuan pemberian tanah + MOL 200 cc/L.air (B5) menunjukan perbedaan pertumbuhan yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainABSTRACTDuring this time farmers planted bananas only relying on seedlings from saplings growing from the base of bananas. The impact of banana products is always not optimal. This issue is a serious problem, so it needs to look for alternative solutions. One of the solution that can minimize the problem of banana seedlings is to use biochar and local micro organism (MOL) from banana excrescence. These two materials are the potential of natural resources that have not been widely utilized to improve the quality of banana seedlings. Combination of biochar and MOL banana excrescence are expected to produce good quality banana crop seeds. This research aims to obtain a dose of biochar and MOL proper of banana excrescence for breeding bananas. The results analysis of variance showed that the combination treatment of biochar and MOL Banana excrescence (B) not significantly affect  to the Age of banana seedlings (P) on all observation parameters. The best banana seedlings treatment is found in the treatment of Adult age (P2) saplings because it affects almost all the observed parameters. The treatment of biochar and MOL of Banana excrescence (B) on all parameters are not significantly different, but separately the soil + MOL 200 cc/L. (B5) shows a better in growth compared to other treatments

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed in Italy at the end of January 2020, when the first positive cases for the virus were identified. At the beginning of March, the virus had spread to all Italian regions and on 10 March 2020 the lockdown phase began, limiting the movement of people and prohibiting almost all commercial activities, businesses and non-essential industries. As a result, millions of people were forced to stay at home, causing a drastic drop in traffic volume, which significantly changed the acoustic environment and air quality of cities. On 4 May 2020, the lockdown was partially lifted and activities were progressively reopened. Therefore, traffic gradually started to increase and, consequently, the noise emitted by motor vehicles. This behaviour was confirmed by the data collected by the DYNAMAP system, an automatic platform developed within the LIFE DYNAMAP project, providing real time traffic noise maps in terms of sound pressure levels and impacts at receivers (people and dwellings exposed to noise level bands). In this paper traffic and non-traffic-related noise events in the cities of Rome and Milan from March to May 2020 are analysed and compared to the corresponding values in 2019 to evaluate the effects of the lockdown period.

Abstract Background Idiopathic epilepsy is a common neurological condition in dogs. Previous research has focused on clinical aspects of seizure management in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy with little attention given to the emotional and logistical challenges for their owners. The current study aimed to explore the impacts of owning a dog with idiopathic epilepsy on owner quality of life and lifestyle, using qualitative methods. Methods Owners of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy living in England were recruited via social media and word of mouth, and then selected using purposive sampling to participate in face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Epilepsy management was explored through in-depth accounts of owner experiences and influencing factors. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was used to construct key themes. Results Twenty-one interviews were completed. Almost all owners had made lifestyle changes in order to care for their dog, including substantial modifications to routines and, in some cases, employment. Many owners discussed a very emotionally close dog-owner bond, and described experiencing frequent feelings of fear, stress and uncertainty regarding their dog’s health. Friends, family and colleagues did not always understand the magnitude of commitment required to care for a dog with idiopathic epilepsy. This, combined with a fear of leaving their dog unsupervised, had social implications in some instances and lead to increased use of the Internet and online groups for peer support. Conclusions The commitment required to care for a dog with idiopathic epilepsy, and the lifestyle changes made by their owners, may be far greater than previously estimated. Further consideration of these factors by veterinary professionals and the friends and families of owners of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy could improve owner quality of life, and facilitate the provision of additional support.

Five elements identified from the literature as expressive of quality in grandparent/grandchild relationships were used in this study. Three hundred ninety-one young adults at a midwest university responded to questions concerning the quality of their relationships with their “most close” grandparent. Responses of the students validated the following five elements of quality as being associated with successful grandparent/grandchild relationships: 1) a fairly high degree of closeness, 2) a strong sense of being known by the grandparent, 3) a strong sense of the young adult's knowing the grandparent, 4) a sense of the grandparent being a fairly strong influence in the life of the grandchild, 5) a sense of an authentic or independent grandparent/grandchild relationship not dominated by, but supported by, the middle generation. Analysis of variance identified the impact of seven independent variables on the quality of grandparent/grandchild relationships.

Outbound Containers

The staking of containers on ideal locations within the yard is a tactical decision that affects the productivity of container terminals. The goal is to improve posterior loading and retrieval operations, to get better use of terminal resources. In this paper, we study how to allocate storage space for outbound containers in container terminals. A two-phase methodological framework is proposed. The first phase groups outbound containers into clusters of similar operational loading conditions. Then in a second phase, a bi-objective storage space assignment model is solved to determine the set of block-bays where groups of similar containers will be stored during the planning horizon. This study presents a double contribution. On one hand, it proposes a new methodological framework that combines operations research and data mining techniques to solve a storage space assignment problem for outbound containers. On the other hand, it analyzes the impact of three factors on four performance metrics used to evaluate the quality and quantity of alternative solutions to the problem of allocation of storage space for outbound containers. The experimental framework is composed of an experimental design study to assess the impact of three factors on four performance metrics used to assess the quality of the storage space assignment solutions, and a case study to validate the proposed approach. The experimental results reveal that the storage yard's capacity and the number of clusters used to group the containers destined to a vessel are the main factors that affect the number and quality of alternative solutions.

<p>Until recently, new technologies introduced into irrigated agriculture were mainly aimed at developing one or several related control actions. However, the needs of society to increase the volume and improve the quality of agricultural products have led to significant qualitative changes in irrigated agriculture. The various robotic systems used for this have proven their effectiveness in the mechanization and automation of the irrigation process, as well as in the application of chemical fertilizers and chemical protection of agricultural crops from diseases and pests. This resulted in higher yields while lowering production costs.Nowadays, biotechnologies currently being developed and being introduced into irrigated agriculture, as well as systems for controlling and monitoring environmental impacts, are aimed at solving problems related to further increasing the efficiency of the use of natural resources, while minimizing the risks of negative impact on components and services of the environment.This is largely due to the impact of the rapid development of IC and sensor technologies aimed at creating production management systems based on the cyber-physical systems (CPS) paradigm. For this, there are using a holistic vision of the structure and cybernetic methods of management, artificial intelligence technologies, as well as digital platforms for integrating information flows between sub-subsystems of management, control, monitoring and decision support.In this context, the main difference between developed agricultural CPSs from the existing industrial agricultural systems focused on current economic efficiency lies in the plane of making agricultural production sustainable in the long term based on a balance between economic efficiency and the quality of natural resources used and services of the environment. From this point of view, irrigated agriculture focuses on the efficient use of natural resources, which are water, soil and air, as well as renewable and non-renewable (fossil) energy. At the same time, weather are considered as the impact of the external environment providing an irreplaceable source of water, heat and energy resources but with stochastic characteristics that are difficult to formalize. In connection with this diversity, a CPSs are built taking into account a complex compromise that takes into account many aspects of the negative impact of intensive agricultural production technologies on the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of these resources, not only in the place of their use, but also on the external environment beyond these limits. In this regard, water resources are one of the most important factors necessary, on the one hand, to impart long-term sustainability to irrigated agriculture, and on the one hand, as a factor that can lead in the near future to a significant decrease in fertility, as well as to a negative impact on the environmental services of the surrounding area. This contribution discusses some points of the development of an agricultural irrigation CPS’ subsystem aimed to monitor the soil moisture content at the root zone of the soil cover at the scale of irrigated agricultural crops and their relationship with industrial sprinkling technologies.Acknowledgments: The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 19-29-05261 mk</p>

Background/AimsThe COVID-19 has facilitated a paradigm shift in the sphere of ophthalmic telemedicine: its utility is no longer limited to providing care to remote regions, rather it is expeditiously being adopted as the new standard of care. The aim of our paper is to explore the current attitudes of oculoplastic surgeons towards telemedicine and its utility in the present landscape and its prospects in the future.MethodsA 39-item questionnaire was distributed to consultant oculoplastic surgeons practising across the UK and anonymised responses were collected and analysed.ResultsThe COVID-19 pandemic has allowed rapid implementation of telemedicine services in oculoplastic departments across the UK with 86.6% of the respondents incorporating telemedicine into the routine clinical practice. Clinicians reported a statistically significant increase in utility of telemedicine, confidence in using telemedicine and quality of infrastructure available to employ telemedicine following the COVID-19 outbreak. The greatest utility of telemedicine is in triaging, postoperative assessment and eyelid lesion assessment. Main barriers to implementation of telemedicine included difficulties in conducting clinical examinations, lack of administrative support and poor access to digital technologies for patients. Overall, most clinicians were satisfied with the impact of telemedicine services and almost all experts foresee themselves continuing to use telemedicine in the future.ConclusionsTelemedicine has become an integral part of the oculoplastic service delivery since the COVID-19 pandemic its use is likely to continue. Further development of digital infrastructure and improvement of clinical examination capabilities are required to enable its wider adoption.

ABSTRAKLantebung memiliki hutan mangrove seluas 12 Ha dimana secara administratif wilayah ini masuk dalam wilayah Kelurahan Bira Kecamatan Tamalanrea Kota Makassar Propinsi Sulawesi Selatan.  Dengan luasan mangrove yang ada dan berada di kota besar yaitu Kota Makassar tentu saja memberi nilai tersendiri bagi kawasan ini karena mampu menjadi daya tarik bagi pengunjung baik wisatawan lokal maupun internasional, apalagi dengan adanya infrastruktur yang mendukung ekowisata mangrove tersebut menjadikan kawasan ini sebagai alternatif destinasi wisata baru di kota Makassar yang berbasis sumberdaya alam.  Dengan peningkatan jumlah wistawan yang berkunjung setiap hari, tentu saja  membawa dampak antara lain: kegiatan wisatawan yang mengancam konservasi laut, sarana dan prasarana pariwisata yang ada tidak mampu mengakomodasi lonjakan wisatawan yang datang dan sumberdaya manusia yang kurang memadai untuk mengembangkan pariwisata berbasis masyarakat dan berbasis konservasi.   Oleh sebab itu, tujuan umum dari program KKN-PPM ini adalah untuk membantu memberdayakan masyarakat agar mampu mengelola pariwisata pesisir yang berbasis masyarakat dan berbasis konservasi lingkungan. Sedangkan tujuan khusus dari kegiatan ini adalah: 1) Peningkatan kualitas sarana dan prasarana dasar kegiatan pariwisata; 2) Peningkatan kualitas sumberdaya manusia dalam memberikan layanan pariwisata; 3) Peningkatan partisipasi masyarakat dalam menjaga sumberdaya alam pesisir pantai Lantebung.  Adapun target yang telah dicapai pada kegiatan ini adalah: 1) Pengelolaan Lingkungan, Sampah dan Sanitasi; 2). Pengadaan Sarana Air Bersih; 3) Pembuatan Spot Berfoto Pengunjung; 4). Pembuatan paket wisata bagi pengelola; serta 5). Penyuluhan tentang Konservasi dan Ekowisata dan Penanaman Mangrove.  Metode yang digunakan adalah Sosialisasi, Penyuluhan, Pelatihan, Wawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner untuk Evaluasi.   Dengan pelaksanaan program KKN PPM di Lantebung, maka target luaran yaitu perbaikan sistem lingkungan, Peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat (ekonomi), peningkatan partisipasi masyarakat, publikasi jurnal nasional, artikel di Media Massa cetak lokal, peningkatan keterampilan, keberdayaan masyarakat serta menghasilkan kualitas produk yang meningkat, dan meningkatnya kemampuan manajemen dari masyarakat telah tercapai. ABSTRACTLantebung has a 12 hectare mangrove forest which administratively belongs to the Bira Village, Tamalanrea District, Makassar City, South Sulawesi Province. With the extent of existing mangroves and located in big cities, namely the city of Makassar, of course gives its own value for this area because it can be an attraction for visitors both local and international tourists, especially with the infrastructure that supports the mangrove ecotourism makes this area as an alternative tourist destination new in the city of Makassar based on natural resources. With the increase in the number of tourists visiting every day, of course the impact will include: tourist activities that threaten marine conservation, existing tourism facilities and infrastructure unable to accommodate the surge of tourists who come and inadequate human resources to develop community-based and conservation-based tourism . Therefore, the general objective of the KKN-PPM program is to help empower the community to be able to manage community-based coastal tourism and environment-based conservation. While the specific objectives of this activity are: 1) Improving the quality of basic facilities and infrastructure of tourism activities; 2) Improving the quality of human resources in providing tourism services; 3) Increasing community participation in protecting the natural resources of the Lantebung coast. The targets achieved in this activity are: 1) Environmental, Garbage and Sanitation Management; 2). Provision of Clean Water Facilities; 3) Making Visitor's Photographed Spot; 4). Making tour packages for managers; and 5). Counseling about Conservation and Ecotourism and Mangrove Planting.
