  Background: Radon is odourless and colourless gas. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer and can only be found through testing. A radon potential map released in 2012 and highlighted various areas of British Columbia which were high in radon. This study focused on testing for radon gas in houses within the Sea to Sky Corridor and North Shore, areas noted to be high in radon. Methods: This study was conducted by reaching out to participants who lived within these areas. Radon test kits were distributed, and patrons were instructed to keep these kits on the lowest level of the home for at least 91 days. After the 91-day period, the radon test kits were collected and sent to a lab for further results. Results: The lab results were analysed with NCSS Data Analysis software. Three statistical tests were conducted looking at the different areas, types of foundation and if the houses tested are below the recommended average. Two of the two sample T tests were not significant, and the one sample T test came back significant. Conclusion: The two-sample t test (comparison against the two areas) showed that radon did not have equal concentrations. The same can be said with the two sample t tests against foundation types (slab on grade and crawl space). All samples were then compared against the recommend limit set by Health Canada (200 Bq/3), and was concluded that they were all below this limit.

The Impact

One of the threats that can harm pregnant women and fetuses is anemia. In Indonesia, in light of the consequences of Riskesdas in 2013, the pervasiveness of weakness in pregnant ladies was 37.1%. The motivation behind this examination was to decide the impact of spinach juice on expanding hemoglobin levels in pregnant ladies in the first and second trimesters at the Niar Pratama center in 2020. The exploration plan in understanding with this investigation was a semi test utilizing the One Group Pretest Posttest approach. The study was conducted in September 2020. The sample in this study was 10 people. Analysis of this statistical test using the t test (Test Paired Sample T Test). The results of this study using statistical tests obtained a p-value of 0.000 <0.05, so that there is an effect between giving spinach juice to increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the second and second trimesters. In light of the aftereffects of examination on the effect of spinach juice on expanding hemoglobin levels in pregnant ladies in the first and second trimesters at the Niar Pratama Clinic in 2020, explicitly there is an impact between giving spinach juice to increment hemoglobin levels in pregnant ladies.   Keywords: Spinach Juice, Hb, Pregnant Women ABSTRAK   Salah satu ancaman yang dapat membahayakan ibu hamil dan janin adalah anemia.

Analisa uji statistik ini menggunakan uji t (Uji Paired Sampel T Test).  Hasil dari penelitian ini menggunakan uji statistik didapatkan nilai p-value sebesar 0,000 < 0,05, sehingga ada pengaruh antara pemberian jus bayam terhadap peningkatan kadar hemoglobin pada ibu hamil trimester I dan II. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian mengenai dampak jus bayam terhadap peningkatan kadar hemoglobin pada ibu hamil trimester I dan II di Klinik Pratama Niar tahun 2020, secara spesifik terdapat pengaruh antara pemberian jus bayam untuk meningkatkan kadar hemoglobin pada ibu hamil.   Kata Kunci: Jus Bayam, Hb, Ibu Hamil

The following list is compiled from specimens collected by Mr. W. J. Brown in 1929; it should prove of interest to students of geographical distribution, containing, as it does, large elements of the Labrador fauna on the one hand and typical members of the Canadian and Hudsonian zones on the other. As far as I know Wm. Couper has been the only one who has published on the Lepidoptera of this region (Can. Ent., I, 67; IV, 201; VI, 33 et seq.) and his work has been confined largely to diurnals.

Scientific Value

Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus) inhabits north-central British Columbia (BC), but its flight activity at the onset of hibernation is not well known. On 31 October 2019, we saw three bats flying in patterns that suggested feeding, near the north shore of the Fraser River near Prince George, BC. Observations of Little Brown Myotis flying this late in the autumn have not previously been documented this far north in interior BC. We photographed the bats, and here we describe the encounter and discuss the scientific value of our observation.

Adilcevaz lies on the north shore of lake Van, almost due south of the summit of Süphan Dağ (14,547 ft.). At its west end substantial remains of a lofty wall of later than Urartian times run down from below the Ahlat road to the shore of the lake (and actually into the lake, of which the relative level has evidently risen since the construction of the wall). It was on a largely concealed face (at right-angles to the line of the wall) of a stone block in this wall that it was reported that cuneiform writing could be seen.Accordingly, in September, 1956, the writer inspected the wall, accompanied by his wife, who located the block some fifteen metres below the road in a short secondary wall-surface of dressed blocks, with hard rubble filling behind, parallel with the line of, and running inland from the broken end of a further wall projecting three or four metres in the Adılcevaz direction from, the main wall. The cuneiform writing proved to be visible as a result of the absence, close to the surface, of mortar between the inscribed block and the one lake-ward of it in the same course; and on poking away more mortar between the two blocks and up to the under surface of a third, larger, block, forming part of the next higher, and uppermost surviving, course, it was found that this under surface also bore cuneiform signs.

Pati is a region on the north coast, according to the hypothesis of the researcher, the region is divided into three categories. The northern regions are more religious, the central is more plural, while the southern region is in the middle. In the central region there are many relics of tombs believed to be the those of the Muslim proselytizers in the area of Pati. The one that attracts the researcher is a tomb in the Gambiran area, where there are five local Muslim saints buried, one of them belons to mbah Hendro Kusumo, the son of Syech Ahmad Mutamakkin. This article attempts to trace back the spreading of Islam in Pati based on the existence of thetomb of Mbah Hendro Kusumo. It wants to answer question of whethere the existence of his tomb is due to his studying there or marital relationship, and how it relates to the spreading of Islam.Keywords: Mbah Hendro Kusumo, Traces of Islamic Dakwah, Islam

The Town

Riccia marginata Lindb. was described by S. O. Lindberg (1877) from the outskirts of the town of Sortavala near the north shore of Lake Ladoga, Republic of Karelia, Russia. The species has been forgotten in most recent liverwort accounts of Europe, including Russia. Lectotypification of R. marginata is provided. R. marginata shares most characters with R. beyrichiana Hampe ex Lehm. It differs from “typical” plants of R. beyrichiana in having smaller spores, with ± distinctly finely areolate to roughly papillose proximal surfaces and a narrower and shorter thallus, as well as in scarcity or absence of marginal hairs. It may represent continental populations of the suboceanic-submediterranean R. beyrichiana, known in Russia from the Leningrad Region and Karelia only. The variability of spore surfaces in R. beyrichiana is discussed and illustrated by SEM images. A comparison with the spores of R. bifurca Hoffm. is provided. The question how distinct R. marginata is from R. beyrichiana needs to be clarified by molecular studies in the future, when adequate material is available. R. marginata is for the time being, provisionally, included in R. beyrichiana.
