Present communication deals with the reproductive capacity and sex ratio of a hill stream ornamental fish, Noemacheilus multifasciatus Day from river Mandal of Garhwal region, Uttarakhand, India. A total 151 specimens were collected for this investigation from Mandal River during October 2020 to September 2021. The morphometric measurements were made within 2-3 days of collection which were total length (TL) fish body weight (F.B.W) ovary length and ovary weight. For the assessment of reproductive capacity, anterior, middle and the posterior part of ovary were taken and number of ova in each sample was counted with the help of binocular microscope. The reproductive capacity in terms of absolute fecundity was calculated as F = S. OW/100. Sex ratio was calculated for whole period of study and its signification was tested by Chi-Square test (χ²). The length of fishes ranged from 56mm to 80mm whereas fish body weight varied from 2138mg to 6347 mg.. The lowest reproductive capacity (175 eggs) was observed for the fish length 56mm, and body weight 2138mg. whereas highest reproductive capacity (3476 eggs) was estimated in fish measuring 80 mm length and fish body weight 6347mg. The reproductive capacity was more dependent on the ovary length (r= 0.9894) and fish weight (r = 0.9812), than the fish ovary weight (0.9786) and fish length (0.9248). The average ratio was 1.16 for female: 1.0 for male.

Gonado-somatic index and fecundity are tools for measuring the sexual maturity and ability of animals to reproduce.  This study investigates the reproduction of Trichiurus lepturus. Specifically, this aimed to determine the sex ratio, the GSI, the relationship between fecundity and total length, fecundity and total weight, fecundity and ovary weight. The Descriptive Method of research was used.  Percentage and chi-square was utilized in determining the percentage of occurrence and sex ratio respectively.   Pearson r Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used to determine the relationships of the parameters. The study revealed that females outnumbered males and the sex ratio for different month showed significant difference.  Spawning season was observed to occur in November and December as revealed in its GSI values and it synchronized with the full and new moon phases.  Fecundity is positively correlated with body weight, body size, and ovary weight where ovary weight is observed to be the best index for fecundity.  The results of this study could be used further for formal stock assessment of cutlassfish fishery.

Ikan todak berparuh pendek atau ikan tumbuk atau shortbill spearfish (Tetrapturus angustirostris) merupakan salah satu hasil tangkapan sampingan rawai tuna. Informasi mengenai ikan todak berparuh pendek seperti komposisi ukuran, perbandingan kelamin, dan tingkat kematangan gonadsangat terbatas. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menyajikan data dan informasi mengenai aspek biologi ikan todak berparuh pendek yang merupakan hasil tangkapan sampingan dari rawai tuna yang beroperasi di Samudera Hindia. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan September sampai Desember 2008 di perairan Samudera Hindia. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ikan todak berparuh pendek memiliki kisaran panjang tubuh 135-175 cmLJFL dan modus pada kisaran 155-165 cmLJFL.Perbandingan jenis kelamin ikan jantan dan betina 1:13,5, berdasarkan atas hasil uji chi-square menunjukan bahwa rasio ikan jantan dan betina pada periode penelitian ini tidak seimbang. Pada bulan September ikan todak berparuh pendek betina didominansi oleh tingkat kematangan gonad IIsebesar 66,7%, bulan Oktober oleh tingkat kematangan gonad V sebesar 46,2%, bulan Nopember oleh tingkat kematangan gonad II sebesar 53,3%, sedangkan pada bulan Desember oleh tingkat kematangan gonad III sebesar 42,9%. Pada bulan Nopember sampai Desember terlihat bahwa tingkat kematangan gonad V mulai berkurang, hal ini menunjukan bahwa pada bulan Nopember sampai Desember diduga banyak ikan todak berparuh pendek betina yang sudah memijah. Shortbill Spearfish (Tetrapturus angustirostris) is one of bycatch of tuna longline. Information about shortbill spearfish on the size composition, sex ratio, and maturity stage is still very limited. The objective this paper is to present the data and information about shortbill spearfish which is a bycatch of tuna longline that operated in the Indian Ocean. Research was conducted during September until December 2008 in Indian Ocean. The results showed that the shortbill spearfish have body length about 135-175 cmLJFL and modes in 155-165 cmLJFL. Sex ratio of the male and female was 1:13.5. Based on chi-square test showed that the ratio of male and female in the period of the study was not balanced. In September, the female stage maturity was dominated by level II of 66.7%, October by level V of 46.2%, November by level II of 53.3%, and December by level III of 42.9%. During November until December showed that the maturity stage of level V was decreased, this shows that in this time the female of shortbill spearfish was spawned.

Indeks kelimpahan stok ikan beloso (Saurida micropectoralis) di Laut Jawa cenderungmengalami penurunan dari tahun ke tahun dan untuk mencegahnya perlu bahan masukan yang bersumber dari hasil penelitian yang dijadikan sebagai dasar pengelolaannya. Penelitian dilakukan untukmengkaji beberapa aspek biologimeliputi hubungan panjangberat, nisbah kelamin, tingkat kematangan gonad, panjang pertama kali tertangkap dan panjang pertama kali matang gonad, serta kebiasaan makan ikan beloso. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulanApril–Agustus 2009 di perairan utara Jawa Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nisbah kelamin ikan jantan dan betina berada dalam keadaan tidak seimbang. Pertumbuhan ikan beloso bersifat allometrik positif, dimana pertambahan berat lebih cepat dibandingkan pertumbuhan panjangnya dan tingkat kematangan gonad (TKG) ikan beloso didominasi oleh stadium I. Panjang pertama kali ikan beloso tertangkap lebih kecil dari panjang pertama kali matang gonadnya (Lc < Lm) sehingga akan mengancam kelestariaannya. Ikan beloso bersifat karnivora, dimana makanan utamanya adalah potongan ikan dasar, cumi, dan teri. Index of stock abundance of Lizardfish (Saurida micropectoralis) in Java Sea tend to decreased from year to year. The decline was expected because of the potential of Lizardfish decreasing but the effort continue to rise. The objective of this study is to assess the biological aspects including length-weight relationship, sex ratio, gonadal maturity stage, length of first capture (Lc) and length of first mature (Lm), and feeding habit of Lizardfish in north waters of Central Java. This study was conducted from April to August 2009 in north waters of Central Java. Results showed that the sex ratio between males and females was 1:0,97. Based on Chi-square test it is showed that sex ratio is not balanced. The growth of Lizardfish indicated positive allometric where the weight growth more faster than its length growth. The gonadalmaturity stage of Lizard fish is dominated by the first stage. The length of first capture of Lizardfish was under the length of first mature (Lc < Lm) so that will threaten its sustainability. Lizardfish was indicated carnivorous species where its main food are part of demersal fishes, squids and anchovies.

Dehidrasi merupakan kekurangan cairan tubuh karena jumlah cairan yang keluar lebih banyak dari pada jumlah cairan yang masuk. Salah satu pekerjaan yang beresiko mengalami dehidrasi adalah pada perebusan pembuatan tempe dimana menggunakan lingkungan yang cukup panas sehingga banyak mengeluarkan keringat dan mebutuhkan asupan cairan yang lebih. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian dehidrasi pada pekerja pengrajin tempe. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh jumlah pengrajin tempe. Sampel berjumlah 30 responden. Teknik pengambilan sampel dengan cara total sampling. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini secara univariat dan bivariat dengan uji chi square. Hasil penelitian ada hubungan konsumsi cairan (0,004) dan beban kerja (0,007) dengan kejadian dehidrasi pada pekerja pengrajin tempe. Tidak ada hubungan berat badan dengan kejadian dehidrasi pada pekerja pengrajin tempe (p=0,875). Diharapkan pemilik usaha pengrajin tempe untuk dapat selalu menyediakan air minum yang cukup bagi pekerjanya saat pekerja membutuhkan sehingga kejadian dehidrasi dan dampaknya dapat diminimalisir. Dehydration is a lack of body fluids because the amount of fluid that comes out is more than the amount of fluid that is entered. One of the jobs that are at risk of dehydration is in boiling the manufacture of tempeh which uses a hot enough environment so that you sweat a lot and require more fluid intake. The research objective was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of dehydration in tempe craftsmen. This research is a descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all of the tempe craftsmen. The sample is 30 respondents. The sampling technique was total sampling. Data analysis in this study was univariate and bivariate with the chi square test. The results showed a relationship between fluid consumption (0.004) and workload (0.007) with the incidence of dehydration among workers of tempe craftsmen. There is no correlation between body weight and dehydration in tempe craftsmen workers (p = 0.875). It is expected that the tempe craftsman business owners can always provide sufficient drinking water for their workers when they need them so that the incidence of dehydration and its impact can be minimized.

Abstract Background Maintaining the hips in flexion and abduction posture is a common recommendation to facilitate hip maturation in infants. Double diapering helps to maintain a baby’s hips in flexion and abduction posture, but the efficacy of double diapers in hip development has never been verified. We investigated whether double diapering results in greater improvement of the alpha angle in the first months of life. Methods This prospective randomised control study enrolled newborns with Graf type IIa hips. Babies were assigned to the double-diaper or single-diaper group. Parents were instructed on proper hip positioning, except for diapering. Change in the alpha angle from newborn to 1 month after birth, rate of improvement to bilateral Graf type I hips in 1 month, and number of ultrasound examinations and orthopaedic clinic visits in the first year were compared between the two groups. For babies with bilateral IIa hips, we used the averaged data from both hips, and for babies with unilateral IIa hips, we used the data from the IIa hips. Results Seventy newborns with 102 type IIa hips were included from January to December 2017. They were allocated to the double-diaper group (N=33) and single-diaper group (N=37). With a comparable sex ratio, gestational age, and newborn alpha angle, the double-diaper group had a greater increase of alpha angles in 1 month than the single-diaper group (+7.9° vs. +5.2°, t-test, p=0.011). Twenty-eight babies in the double-diaper group (84.8%) and 20 babies in the single-diaper group (54.1%) improved to having bilateral Graf type I hips (chi-square test, p=0.006). Subsequent clinical visits and hip ultrasounds before 1 year were significantly reduced in the double-diaper group. Conclusions Our results support double diapering for enhancing hip maturation in babies with Graf type IIa hips. The amount of improvement may not indicate double diapering as a treatment for hip dysplasia, but its effects in immature hips are noteworthy in reducing further clinical and ultrasound follow-ups.

Babies born with a body weight of less than 2500 grams or up to 2499 grams are one of the risk factors that cause death in infants, especially the perinatal period. Problems that often occur are setting the temperature that is still low and has a weak immune system and the process of forming the immune system that is not perfect so that the range of infection. Not all babies with a birth weight of less than 2,500 grams get health services using advanced technology because of financial constraints in care, geographical factors or areas of residence, transportation, and communication such as the use of incubators. The kangaroo treatment method is a method of contacting skin from skin (skin to skin) which is done directly by placing the baby on the mother's chest. The method of research carried out analytic research with a population of all mothers who have given birth either by normal or SC deliveries whose babies experience low body weight below less than 2500 grams (LBW) in SitiKhodijahSepanjang Hospital, which is the subject of research. Most of the mothers who had LBW babies had a positive attitude that was equal to 10 (66.7%) and most of the mothers carried out the kangaroo method correctly by 9 mothers (60%). This is also evidenced by the results of the Chi-Square test P = 0.005 <α = 0.05 so that H0 is rejected which means there is a relationship between the attitude of the mother and the implementation of the kangaroo method in low birth weight babies so that the community and health workers are expected to implement the kangaroo method in infants low birth weight both in health care and at home.

Introduction Mediterranean diet has shown a protective role against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer onset, microvascular damage and dementia in many trials. Our purpose is the assessment of a correlation between physical activity, Mediterranean diet, body mass index (BMI), depression and erection disorder (ED). Methods After having signed disclaimer to the study participation, we administered the IIEF 15 questionnaire (International Index of Erectil Function), the Hamilton questionnaire for major depression, the Med-Diet Questionnaire, the Ipaq Questionnaire (International Index of Physical Activity) to 245 patients and calculated the BMI. Only 141 were eligible. We excluded patients with a history of smoking, with obesity from the second grade to rise, anorexia, hyperlipidemia, Induratio Penis Plastica, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological disease, hypogonadism, prostatitis, diabetes, hypertension, psychiatric diseases and the history of radical prostatectomy and finally age >72 and <50 years or who were taking cholesterol-lowering medication. Patients were divided into two groups: 65 patients without ED and 76 patients with ED. Results We found a statistically difference in BMI between the groups. Adherence to Med-Diet showed a significant difference between the two groups at Student t-test and the Chi-square test. The Ipaq test and Hamilton test did not show statistical differences between the two groups neither for Student t-test nor for Chi-square test, but high levels seem to be protective factors. Conclusions Body weight and a healthy diet are protective factors against the ED, more than a sufficient physical activity. Depression has shown only a worsening tendency of the erection.

Hasil uji chi square menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan maturasi skeletal dengan berat badan kurang dan normal diperoleh nilai p=0,015; p<0,05 dan menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara maturasi skeletal dengan jenis kelamin dimana p<0,05. Simpulan: Terdapat perbedaan maturasi skeletal antara berat badan kurang dan normal namun tidak terdapat perbedaan maturasi skeletal pada laki-laki dan perempuan pada anak usia 8-12 tahun.Kata kunci: Maturasi skeletal, indeks massa tubuh, metode Bacetti. ABSTRACTIntroduction: The growth and development period in orthodontic treatment is important in determining the malocclusion treatment timing, which can be seen from skeletal maturation. Class II skeletal treatment is best started at puberty or cervical vertebrae maturation stage (CVMS) 3 or 4, around the age of 10-12 years in women and 12-14 in men. In class III skeletal treatment is best started at the prepubertal period or CVMS 1, namely about 8-9 years for women and 8-11 years for men. Skeletal maturation can be affected by a person's nutritional status. This study was aimed to analyse the differences in skeletal maturation in children aged 8-12 years in terms of body weight and sex. Methods: This type of analytical observational study was conducted on 100 orthodontic patients at Universitas Sumatera Utara Dental Hospital aged 8-12 years consisting of 50 underweight patients and 50 normal-weight patients. The patients' weight was obtained through measurements based on body mass index; then, the skeletal maturation was measured using the Bacetti method consisting of CVMS 1-CVMS 6 with the chi-square test as data analysis. Results: Underweight skeletal maturation was 40% CVMS 1, 30% CVMS 2, 16% CVMS 3, 12% CVMS 4, and 2% CVMS 5, while at normal weight 12% CVMS 1, 34% CVMS 2, 26 % CVMS 3, 18% CVMS 4, and 10% CVMS 5. The chi square test results showed differences in skeletal maturation with underweight and normal body weight, the value of p=0.015; p<0.05 and no significant difference between skeletal maturation and sex where p<0.05. Conclusion: There is a difference in skeletal maturation between underweight and normal body weight, but there is no difference in skeletal maturation between sex in children aged 8-12 years.Keywords: Skeletal maturation, body mass index, Bacetti method.
