Payang is known as a traditional fishing gear from the trawl group which is operated in the water column and targets pelagic fish as its catch target. Payang fisheries can be found widely in Indonesia, one of which is at the Palabuhanratu Archipelago Fishing Port, Suka-bumi. In this research we tried to assess the productivity and catch composition of the payang fleet that landed fish at the Palabuhanratu Archipelago Fishing Port. Catch productivity is approximated by the average number of catches landed in each fishing trip. Data on catches and the number of fishing trips were collected for the last ten years from 2013 to 2022. We found that the productivity value of the payang fleet has consistently increased over the previous ten years. The average increase in productivity is known to be 15.7% per year. The payang fleet is known to obtain more than 24 caught species that have economic value. The compo-sition of the catches of the payang fleet shows bullet tuna (Auxis rochei), moonfish (Mene maculata), and common ponyfish (Leiog-nathus equula) as fisheries commodities that always dominate and are obtained every year.

Air pollution has led to significant health problems affecting millions of people. It has frequently been demonstrated to be a severe issue as the hawkers have to stay several hours a day on the roadside with heavy traffic flow, resulting in high exposure to air pollutants. The high intensity of exposure rate resulted in higher health risks to varied diseases with a lack of appropriate adaptive measures. Across-sectional study was conductedamong207 streethawkers at alength of 1.79 km, including the main road and link road of 100m around the Gongabun metro-bus park sector. Primary survey datawascollectedbya structuredquestionnaire. Data wasanalyzed with the SPSS package and Microsoft Excel tool. Many of the hawkers (95.7%) had knowledge about air pollution and its causes, but the level of practice needed to be improved. There was no significant relationship between knowledge and practices (p-0.485 and p-0.626). It was inferred that street hawkersβ knowledge had not been transformed into their behavioral practice. There was a significant relationship (p-value 0.038) between exposure period and diseases. Most hawkers (51.7%) had health issues related to air pollution. Out of 207 sampled hawkers, only118 wear masks, and others have not adopted any measures for their protection. Health problems were observed even in mask users due to the poor quality of masks. The findings suggest that awareness concerning personal protective equipment (PPE), such as mask use, needs to be delivered among street hawkers with the support of the local government and private sectors. An air quality monitoring station must be installedin bus park premises to monitor air quality effectively. Keywords: Pollution, Hawkers, Respiratory disease, Monitoring
The study aimed to investigate the impact of stress on intestinal permeability induced by dexamethasone in feed. Male albino rabbits were divided into two groups: Group A (control) and Group B (dexamethasone fed). The results showed that the dexamethasone-fed rabbits exhibited a significant decrease in body weight, increased serum fluorescein Isothiocyanate dextrin level, and higher total liver aerobic bacteria count. The WBC count was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A, with elevated heterophils count and decreased lymphocytes count. Eosinophils count was significantly lower in Group B compared to Group A. The H/L ratio was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A. Histological study revealed that dexamethasone adversely affects thymic lobule length and width, as well as white pulp length and width in the thymus and spleen, respectively. These findings suggest that dexamethasone administration in rabbit feed leads to altered differential white blood cell count, gut permeability and immune response and adverse effects on thymus and spleen morphology.
Rice growing occupies a key place in agriculture and the search for food security in Mali. However, in rice production, damage caused by the African rice midge (Orseolia oryzivora) is a major constraint and therefore an economically important insect. The African rice midge is a major pest in the South Sudanian zone where development conditions are favorable for it. This study aims to document the effect of the insect on the yield of IER irrigated rice varieties in Mali. The study was carried out in the IER irrigated area of Baguineda during the agricultural seasons of 2016, 2017 and 2018. It made it possible to harvest the rice yield from a square of (25 m2) in the 50 study plots and the counting the number of tillers, panicles, full spikelets, empty spikelets, galls, and grains per tuft, at the time of heading at the level of a yield square (1 m2) placed within 50 study plots. All varieties of rice were susceptible to attack by the insect. An analysis of variance carried out from the data revealed a significant difference in the yield of the different rice varieties (P < 0.05). Average yields of rice varieties were very low and varied between 2.8 t/ha for Seberang to 0.27 t/ha for BW, with a considerable yield loss of 44% in 2016 compared to the other two 2017 and 2018 agricultural seasons in the area.
Polysplenic syndrome with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis has been reported primarily in children and adolescents; in adulthood they occur sporadically and randomly. Since heart defects are often associated with heart problems early in life, most patients are diagnosed in childhood. The most commonly observed developmental abnormalities include nonzygous or hemizygous continuation into the inferior vena cava, multiple spleens, and cardiac malformations. Our patient was one of the rare cases of an incidental diagnosis in adults. Imaging diagnosed gingivitis and esophagitis with blisters preventing the patient from opening the mouth and eating, multiple spleen and other visceral malformations with dextrocardia. Hopefully, the cardiac ultrasound revealed that dextrocardia was the only cardiac defect and the patient could be safely discharged from the hospital. We report the possible incidental finding of incidental polysplenia or dextrocardia and emphasize that individuals with such severe malformations can lead normal lives; Only future surgical intervention or other instrumental treatment should be considered.
