Algae communities in life in the marine environment, among others, are used by various types of fish and other organisms as a place to live, forage, and spawn. Some types of macro algae also contain lime which plays a role in building coral reefs. As for humans, algae are used as food ingredients, both directly as vegetables and processed first as gelatin. The purpose of this study was to describe the composition of macro algae species found, to calculate density, population size, maximum biomass, and distribution patterns of macro algae communities in the coastal waters of Wakal Village. Taking algae macro samples is done by using the Linear Squares Transect method. Identification results of macro algae samples found 15 species classified into 3 divisions, 3 classes, 9 orders, 10 families, and 12 genera. The total density of macro algae species by individual is 2.86 ind / m2, with the highest density of species owned by Padina minor species and lowest Gelidiella acerosa, Galaxaura filamentosa, Halimeda opuntia, Ulva conglobata, Hypnea pannossa, Hypnea valentiae, and Acanthophora specifera. The total density of macro algae species based on biomass is 68.48 gr / m2 where Padina minor has the highest biomass density value and the lowest is Acanthophora specifera. The total population of macro algae based on individuals is 7.71 ind / ha, with Padina minor having the highest value of the highest and lowest population Gelidiella acerosa, Galaxaura filamentosa, Halimeda opuntia, Ulva conglobata, Hypnea pannossa, Hypnea valentiae, and Acanthophora specifera. The total macro population of algae based on biomass is 184.90 gr / ha with the highest biomass owned by species Padina minor and the lowest is Acanthophora specifera. The total maximum macro biomass of algae is 1008.18 gr / ha with the highest maximum biomass owned by species Padina minor and the lowest maximum biomass is owned by the species Acanthophora specifera. The pattern of macro spread of algae in Wakal Village is in groups (Ip = 0.5).

This study aims to determine the distribution patterns, and environmental parameters of macro algae waters in the Intertidal Zone of Malang Rapat waters Gunung Kijang District, Bintan Regency. This research was conducted in October-December 2019. The purposive sampling method was applied to 5 research station based on the different characteristics of each station that found macro algae. Macro algae sampling was carried out at each observation station using line transects. Placing transect lines at every station to collect 3 macro algae along 50 m, the determination of the first plot is based on the first point of finding macro algae that are drawn perpendicular to the coastline with a distance between the lines of 30 m. The results found 8 species of macro algae (seaweed) from 3 divisions namely Caulerpa serrulate, Halimeda opuntia, Chaetomorpha crassa, Sargassum polycystum, Sargassum cristaefolium, Padina australis, Gracilaria salicornia, Galaxaura fastigiate. Distribution patterns of macro algae in the waters of Malang Rapat between -4,212 - 1,708 with the category grouping at station 1 and equivalent at station 2, 3, 4, 5. Each station is dominated by brown algae with the genus Sargassum. Factors affecting the distribution of macro algae in intertidal zone are lights, temperature, pH, current and substrate. All water quality parameters fulfilled the optimum growth requirements of seaweed.

AbstractThe Oort cloud probably is the source of Halley-type (HT) comets and perhaps of some Jupiter-family (JF) comets. The process of capture of Oort cloud comets into HT comets by planetary perturbations and its efficiency are very important problems in comet ary dynamics. A small fraction of comets coming from the Oort cloud − of about 10−2− are found to become HT comets (orbital periods < 200 yr). The steady-state population of HT comets is a complex function of the influx rate of new comets, the probability of capture and their physical lifetimes. From the discovery rate of active HT comets, their total population can be estimated to be of a few hundreds for perihelion distancesq <2 AU. Randomly-oriented LP comets captured into short-period orbits (orbital periods < 20 yr) show dynamical properties that do not match the observed properties of JF comets, in particular the distribution of their orbital inclinations, so Oort cloud comets can be ruled out as a suitable source for most JF comets. The scope of this presentation is to review the capture process of new comets into HT and short-period orbits, including the possibility that some of them may become sungrazers during their dynamical evolution.

SummaryThe possible conclusions reached by catamnestical studies are often significantly restricted because of the lack of representativeness of the sample. The example of an investigation of former patients of the Department of Social Psychiatry proves that positive responses to an interview are influenced by various factors. As expected, patients were more inclined to participate in the research project the closer their discharge was to the time of the project itself. Further, it became clear that various different approach strategies, such as letters, enquiries with the registration authorities, phone calls and house visits, effectively increased the motivation of former patients, and that only this kind of graded registration procedure guarantees motivation leading to a sample representative of the total population. Personal contact plays an especially important role. These empirical findings indicate the necessity of careful planning and implementation of sample collection in catamnestical studies. Without this approach, representative results cannot be expected.

SummaryThe incidence of living haemophiliacs in Sweden (total population 8.1 millions) is about 1:15,000 males and about 1:30,000 of the entire population. The number of haemophiliacs born in Sweden in 5-year periods between 1931-1975 (June) has remained almost unchanged. The total number of haemophilia families in Sweden is 284 (77% haemophilia A, 23% haemophilia B) with altogether 557 (436 with A and 121 with B) living haemophiliacs. Of the haemophilia A patients 40 % have severe, 18 % moderate, and 42 % mild, haemophilia. The distribution of the haemophilia B patients is about the same. Inhibitors have been demonstrated in 8% of the patients with severe haemophilia A and in 10% of those with severe haemophilia B.There are 2 main Haemophilia Centres (Stockholm, Malmo) to which haemophiliacs from the whole of Sweden are admitted for diagnosis, follow-up and treatment for severe bleedings, joint defects and surgery. Minor bleedings are treated at local hospitals in cooperation with the Haemophilia Centres. The concentrates available for treatment in haemophilia A are human fraction 1-0 (AHF-Kabi), cryoprecipitate, Antihaemophilic Factor (Hyland 4) and Kryobulin (Immuno, Wien). AHF-Kabi is the most commonly used preparation. The concentrates available for treatment in haemophilia B are Preconativ (Kabi) and Prothromplex (Immuno). Sufficient amounts of concentrates are available. In Sweden 3.2 million units of factor VIII and 1.0 million units of factor IX are given per year. Treatment is free of charge.Only 5 patients receive domiciliary treatment, but since 1958 we in Sweden have practised prophylactic treatment of boys (4–18 years old) with severe haemophilia A. At about 5-10 days interval they receive AHF in amounts sufficient to raise the AHF level to 40–50%. This regimen has reduced severe haemophilia to moderate. The joint score is identical with that found in moderate haemophilia in the same age groups. For treatment of patients with haemophilia A and haemophilia B complicated by inhibitors we have used a large dose of antigen (factor VIII or factor IX) combined with cyclophosphamide. In most cases this treatment produced satisfactory haemostasis for 5 to 30 days and prevented the secondary antibody rise.

SummaryA country-wide survey of Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia in Israel identified 44 patients. The patients belong to 23 unrelated families, 17 of whom are of Iraqi Jewish origin. The frequency of thrombasthenia among Iraqi Jews in Israel (total population 270,000) is 1:7714 and thus the calculated frequency of the carrier state is 2.3%.
