Risk Factors of Hypertension Incidence at the Age of 20-45 Years

The incidence of hypertension in the Kulisusu Health Center Work Area, North Buton Regency is always included in the 10 biggest diseases, where in 2018 the number of sufferers was 216 people, in 2019 it rose to 344 people and in 2020 as many as 715 people. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors that influence the incidence of hypertension in the community at the age of 20-45 years in the Kulisusu Health Center Work Area, North Buton Regency. This type of research is analytic observation with case control design. The study population was 68 patients, with a sample of case is 40 respondents, which were taken by cluster random sampling. Descriptive and inferential data analysis using Chi-Square Test and Odds Ratio. The results showed that the risk factors for hypertension were family history (X2count=20.202; OR=9.333), income (X2count=6.146; OR=3.157), eating and drinking habits (X2count=33.885; OR=22.667), smoking habits (X2count=21.333; OR=11.667). The conclusion is that family history, income, eating and drinking habits and smoking habits are risk factors for hypertension in the Kulisusu Health Center Work Area. It is hoped that the public should avoid consuming foods that trigger hypertension, such as salty foods and containing saturated fat.

KESESUAIAN LAHAN UNTUK KOMODITAS UNGGULAN PERTANIAN DI KABUPATEN LABUHANBATU UTARA

<p class="A04-abstrak2">As an expansion area, North Labuhanbatu District has a purpose to improve the social welfare. Meanwhile one of the significant sector in the community is agriculture. Agriculture provides the highest income for the society and has a potency to further develop and establish the area. However, the development should relevant with environment characteristic essentially. Based on preliminary survey, there are 5 agricultural commodities growing in this area namely palm oil, rubber, rice field, cocoa, and coconut which spread over the 8 sub-districts. The increasing of population triggers land use changes particularly in agriculture. Therefore analysis of land suitability for agriculture is fundamental hence policy direction can be applied in each sub-district based on agriculture commodities which suitable with their characteristic accordingly. The evaluation of land suitability is conducted by comparing the physical characteristics with the existing of land suitability criteria which prossessed by ArcGIS software. Land suitability in North Labuhanbatu is identified with 4 clases: S1 (very suitable), S2 (moderately suitable), S3 (marginally suitable), and N (not suitable). Furthermore, there are 4 limiting factors in this study: water availability, root media, nutrient retention, and erosion hazards. The result shows that rubber, rice field, and coconut have very suitable (S1) land to be planted.Therefore the recomendation is to develop agroforestry landscape practices for sustainable livelihoods in Labura District.</p>

Introduction to the volume, and definition and use of the term ‘tectono-sedimentary element’

The present volume is rooted in a map of sedimentary successions of the Arctic Region by Grantz et al. (2011), and contains a brief, but comprehensive compilation of geological and geophysical data characterizing all significant sedimentary successions in the Arctic, which cover 57% of the polar area north of 64°N. Two main goals have been designated: (i) to provide, based on the present-day knowledge and data, a characterization of all Arctic sedimentary successions (or sedimentary accumulations), and (ii) to supply a snapshot of hydrocarbon-related exploration in the Arctic at the end of the second decade of this millennium. To achieve these goals, we represent sedimentary successions as consisting of one or several “Tectono-Sedimentary Elements” (TSE). This concept allows delineation, mapping, and characterization of 9 categories of TSEs based of main tectonic regimes that formed accommodation space.A TSE characterization template has been developed as an efficient method of organising and presenting the most important information about stratigraphy, structure, and petroleum geology of a TSE, including most significant exploration facts. This organizational architecture is the backbone of the volume and is a key feature that distinguishes it from other similar works about the sedimentary basins.

DSAEF_LTP Model Experiment to Forecast the Accumulated Precipitation of Landfalling Northward-Moving Typhoons in China

We designed two groups of experiments to test the forecast performance of the Dynamical-Statistical-Analog Ensemble Forecast (DSAEF_LTP) model for precipitation caused by landfalling northward-moving typhoons. The first group DSAEF_LTP-1 had the generalized initial value containing three factors (tropical cyclone track, landfall season and tropical cyclone intensity) while the second group DSAEF_LTP-2 added multiple choices of similarity regions. We selected 33 typhoons that brought about maximum daily precipitation ≥100 mm to the area north of the Yangtze River from 2004–2019. We used 22 tropical cyclones from 2004–2015 as training samples to identify the best scheme, which was then used to conduct independent sample forecasting experiments for 11 tropical cyclones from 2016–2019. The results were compared with those of four numerical models (ECMWF, GFS, GRAPES and SMS-WARMS). The simulation ability of the DSAEF_LTP model was significantly improved after adding the similarity regions. The TSsum (TS250 + TS100) for accumulated precipitation ≥250 and ≥100 mm increased from 0.1239 (0 + 0.1239) to 0.1883 (0.0526 + 0.1357). The forecast performance of the DSAEF_LTP for TS100 was 0.1355 for DSAEF_LTP-1 and 0.099 for DSAEF_LTP-2 . Both exceeded the scores for two of the operational Numerical Models, GRAPES (0.0798) and SMS-WARMS (0.0943). The DSAEF_LTP model can capture the distribution patterns of the observed precipitation in most cases. The forecasting performance was good over the southern coast of China but was limited in the north. The development of vortex identification technology for residual vortices and the introduction of new environmental factors into the generalized initial value are required to improve the DSAEF_LTP model.

Distribution of vascular plants north of Lake Baikal: a new, open access dataset

The area north of Lake Baikal has been poorly studied. Moreover, most of the studies conducted in this region were focused on mountain ridges or river valleys. This region includes a part of Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), a broad-gauge railway in the centre of Siberia, Russia. The railway is an alternative route of the Trans-Siberian Railway; BAM starts in southern Siberia (Taishet station of Irktusk Oblast), passes through the northern part of Lake Baikal and finishes in the Russian Far East (Sovetskaya Gavan station of Khabarovsky Krai). BAM has four connections with the Trans-Siberian Railway and is the centre of economic development for many regions of Russia. Maya Ivanova and Alexandr Chepurnov summarised the existing floristic information for this region in detailed species distribution maps which they published in the book “Flora of the western part of developing regions of Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM)” (1983). After publishing this book, very few floristic studies have been performed in the study region. All available botanical information is still accumulated in a number of printed papers or books with limited circulation, which are not widely known to the international scientific community. We have digitised the point distribution maps from the book of Ivanova and Chepurnov and georeferenced all occurrence and sampling localities. The resulting dataset includes 9972 occurrences for 770 vascular plant species and subspecies from the area north of Lake Baikal. Additionally, the dataset includes information on the distribution of 43 rare and endangered species with 366 occurrences. From our point of view, the dataset makes a contribution to the global biodiversity data mobilisation, providing plant species distribution data for such a remote mountainous area.
