Biyukukung ceremony was carried out by Balinese people who worked in agriculture, especially rice farming. This ceremony was related with Balinese people’s effort religiously to gained prosperity for their rice in the field. As a rice farmer, Balinese people often had adversity in their field, liked damaged by pests, lacked of water, and more. As a religious people, they used this ceremony to avoid any adversity. Biyukukung ceremony was carried out by farmers, started from prepared the facilities like banten and other which related with the ceremony. The meaning of this ceremony was an expression of farmers’ thankful to God in the form of his manifestation as Dewi Sri and Dewa Wisnu which provided safety and growth the rice fertilely, protected from the pests, and other damaged. That was why Balinese people carried out the ceremony which had inherited by every generation. This ceremony also made different meaning of agriculture group, which was not only about farming. Moreover, the mean was combined the concept of Hindu’s theology and farming. This tradition then became a unified in farming system, so that the religion ceremony and farming activity be related to each other. Balinese people always depended to God for their safety, so that all of their action, included farming, was related. This relation made Bali unique, there was no line between religion and culture in their daily life. Thus, “Biyukukung Ceremony” had function and meaning to prayed the rice growth fertilely and also the field safety, so that the farmers could harvest well according to their expectation

Today eco-friendly rice farming system becomes interesting agribusiness among farmers, traders and regulators. The use of organic fertilizers as one of eco-friendly components in rice farming system is still low. In some rice production center the farmers of organic rice farming system looks higher than non-organic farmers. The question is: is there any difference among farmers whom use organic, semi-organic and inorganic fertilizers statistically? This research aims to know the difference of rice farmer income (organic and inorganic fertilizer) in East Ogan Komering Ulu (East-OKU), South Sumatra. The method used in this research is comparative analysis (independent t-test). The sample farmers are classified into the three clusters. The research shows that the contribution fertilizer cost from semi-organic farming is higher than full organic and inorganic farming. On the other side, t-test result shows that there is no different income among three kinds of using fertilizer.Key words: income, farming, full organic, semi organic, inorganic fertilizer.

The aims of this study were to investigate hearing aid satisfaction for a group of older Australians fitted with government-funded hearing aids using the Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life (SADL) questionnaire; to compare the Australian data gathered with the provisional normative data reported by Cox and Alexander (1999); and to investigate the relationship between SADL satisfaction and several participant variables, hearing aid variables, and other outcome measures.The SADL questionnaire and a Client Satisfaction Survey (CSS) were distributed by mail to 1284 adults fitted with government-funded hearing aids three to six months previously. 1014 surveys were returned. The mean age of participants was 75.32 years; 54.4% of participants were male, and 54.8% were fitted binaurally. Participants were fitted primarily with digitally programmable hearing aids of various styles (22.5% BTEs, 34.8% ITEs, 41.8% ITCs, 0.9% nonstandard [NS] devices).Overall, participants reported a considerable level of satisfaction with their devices. SADL Global and subscale scores were significantly higher for the Australian sample than the U.S. norms described by Cox and Alexander (1999).

In order to make clear the clinical features of congenital radio-ulnar synostosis, compensatory rotation around the wrist and functional results after rotation osteotomy, 40 cases of congenital radio-ulnar synostosis have been analysed. The mean pronation of the ankylosed forearm in those who complained of disabilities in daily life was 60.7° and that in patients without complaints was 21.2°. In almost all cases with total ankylosis, the forearm had compensatory movement around the wrist, the mean arc being from 76.3° of pronation to 42.9° of supination. 13 limbs in 11 patients treated by transverse rotational osteotomies through the fusion mass have followed up for over two years. The functional results after surgery were satisfactory in all patients. Rotational osteotomy of the forearm is a useful and reliable treatment for congenital radio-ulnar synostosis.

Abstract As slow gait speed is a major feature of frailty and a diagnostic criterion of sarcopenia, gait speed measurement is widely used. Nowadays, with development of wearable devices, it is possible to measure daily-life gait speed without additional effort just by wearing the device. It is meaningful to measure daily-life gait speed and to analyze the association between the speed and sarcopenia. Participants were men over 50 years of age who visited the university hospital. Daily-life gait speed was checked using a smart belt (WELT) for 4 weeks. Afterwards, a survey about past medical history, usual gait speed measurement, handgrip strength measurement, and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry were performed. A total of 217,548 daily-life gait speed measurement data were analyzed for 106 participants. The mean daily-life gait speed was 1.23 ± 0.26 m/s. The mean age was 71.1 ± 7.6, and daily-life gait speed was significantly slower as people get older. (P&lt;0.001) Additionally, weekday gait speed (1.23 ± 0.26 m/s) was significantly faster than weekend gait speed (1.22 ± 0.26 m/s). (P&lt;0.001) Participants with sarcopenia (1.15 ± 0.25 m/s) had significantly slower mean daily-life gait speed than normal subjects (1.23 ± 0.26 m/s). (P&lt;0.001) In analyzing factors related to gait speed, age and skeletal muscle mass of lower limbs were significantly associated with mean daily-life gait speed. Additional information about the gait speed can be obtained by measuring daily-life gait speed, and the daily-life gait speed has a significant association with the skeletal muscle mass of lower limbs.

This paper measures energy performance, Total Factor Energy Productivity (TFEP), technical change (TC) and energy efficiency change (EEC) of the gher (prawn-carp-rice) farming system using a unique panel data of 90 farmers covering a 14 year period (2002–2015) from southwest Bangladesh by employing a stochastic input distance function approach. Results reveal that all inputs contribute significantly to energy productivity of the gher farming system with male labor energy input being the major contributor followed by energy from machineries, seeds and chemicals. Energy performance of the High Yielding Variety (HYV) rice enterprise is highly efficient whereas the prawn enterprise is highly energy inefficient. Furthermore, energy performance of the HYV rice enterprise improved significantly over time. Significant competition exists between HYV rice and prawn enterprises as well as prawn and carp enterprises. Experience and education significantly improve energy efficiency whereas gher area and household size significantly reduces it. TFEP grew at the rate of 2.56% per annum (p.a.) solely powered by technical progress at the rate of 2.57% p.a. Gher system can be sustained in the long-run driven by technical progress and improvements in energy productivity of the HYV rice enterprise. Policy implications include investments in R&D and education targeted at the gher farmers.
