HbA1c Levels In Adolescent Obesity, Overweight and Normoweight Catholic High School Eagles in Makassar. Also known as glycohemoglobin or HbA1c abbreviated as A1c, is one of the important blood tests to evaluate blood sugar control. Obesity is the accumulation of adipose (adipocytes: specific fatty tissue that kept the body) to excess which is the major risk factor for diabetes. This study aims to determine differences in HbA1c levels in adolescent obesity, overweight and normoweight. The research was conducted at Catholic High School Eagles Makassar. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach and the type of study is a cross sectional study. Sampling Purposive sampling as many as 40 people and the data were analyzed with non parametric statistical test of Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test. Research results show that there are differences in HbA1c levels in adolescent obesity, overweight and normoweight with p value of 0.007 at significance level p = 0.05. While based on Abdominal Circumference (LP) to the category of central obesity and non-obese as well there is a difference with a p value of 0.041 at significance level p = 0.05.

Thermocline is often observed in the open ocean and can be as a seasonal phenomenon in the shallower part of the ocean or as a permanent one that is usually seen in the deeper part of the open ocean. There are different forcing and climatic parameters that affect the thermocline development in the PG fromwinter to summer. These include tide, river inflow, solar radiation, evaporation, northwesterly wind and water exchange with the Oman Sea. Thermocline development that evolves from east to west is studied using numerical simulation and comparing the results with some existing observations. Results show that as the northwesterly wind in winter, at summer transition period, weakens the fresher inflow from Oman Sea can penetrate much further into the PG and the lake of wind lowers mixing which with stronger solar radiation lead to the near surface thermocline formation and its development from winter to summer even over the northwestern part of the PG. The analysis results show that for the more realistic monthly averaged wind experiments the thermocline develops as is indicated by summer observations. The results indicate that weaker winds and particularly stronger solar radiation in summer months can lead to an intense thermocline in the whole of the PG including in the northern part and vice versa for winter

This study aimed to observe the influence of two sources of juvenile tiger grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (Forsskål, 1775) from the sea and the hatchery by several types of food (pellets, tilapia anchovies). Growing Studies were carried out above 9600 juvenile tiger grouper from two sources namely differing from the sea of 4800 juvenile and 4800 juvenile hatchery from hatching. The design of treament were done by 2x3 with four replications. During the 30 day rearing period, each 5 days is taken sampling total body length (cm) juvenile tiger grouper. The results showed that during the rearing period the value of marine juvenile grouper only high growth in juvenile ate anchovies and tilapia except on day 5 and 30, and could not adapt to the food from the pellet. While in hatchery juvenile tiger grouper had high growth to consume pellets only and could not adapt well to the food of tilapia and except anchovies on day 15th.

Muntjak (Muntiacus muntjak muntjak) belongs to Cervidae family which distributed in Java Island and Southern part of Sumatera. This cervid has been protected by Indonesian Government since 1999. In order to support breeding program of the species and to avoid them from extinction, itsreproductive biology such as spermatogenesis and the correlation to semen quality is important to be investigated. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine spermatogenesis and semen quality of two adult male muntjaks during antler growth periods that consist of hard antler (H), casting (C), andvelvet antler (V). Testicular tissues and semen (ejaculates) were obtained by core needle biopsy and electroejaculation methods respectively. Testicular tissues were processed histologically and stained with periodic acid Schiff (PAS) to observe spermatogenesis whereas semen was evaluated to obtaine itsquality. The results showed that spermatogenic activities were detected in all antler periods which marked by PAS positive staining (magenta colour) of round and elongated spermatid acrosomes. In H period, spermatogenic activity was higher than those C and V periods. According to semen evaluation,motile spermatozoa were found with different concentration in all antler periods. The highest sperm concentration (x 106 spermatozoa/ml) in both of muntjaks was found in H period (506.25 ± 61.87), and slightly decreased in C (288.75 ± 37.12), and V periods (362.60 ± 17.68). These finding showed thatspermatogenesis to produce spermatozoa is taken place while muntjaks are in C and V periods with differ activities that provable with the existence of motile spermatozoa from ejaculates in both of male muntjaks. Therefore, muntjaks could provide reproductive function throughout the year of reproductiveaseasonality which is similar to the reeves and formosan muntjaks

In this study, composites were made from source of virgin HDPE and rice husk/natural bentonite as combined filler and mechanical properties of composites were measured. The purpose of study is to find the best condition of the ratio of rice husk/natural bentonite as matrix and the percentage of polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (MAPE) as coupling agent on quality of formed composites. In order to form these composites a hot press method was performed. The composite formation process was conducted at temperature of 170 oC for half hour. After pressed and heated then composites was cooled to room temperature and finally composites were tested to know its mechanical properties of tensile strength and bending strength. The results showed that addition of natural bentonite into matrix of rice husk have increased mechanical properties of composite compared to composites prepared by using only rice husk and virgin HDPE. Percentage of added MAPE also affect values of tensile and bending strength of composites. The effect of MAPE and natural bentonite which added during formation of composites caused the increasing adhesion bond between matrix and filler and as a result also increased the mechanicalproperties of composites. The highest tensile strength value of 18.2 MPa was found on composite with filler rice husk/natural bentonite ratio of 70:30 with addition of 5 wt% MAPE. While the highest bending strength value of 9.2 Mpa was obtained on composite with filler rice husk/natural bentonite ratio of 70:30and addition of 5 wt% MAPE

Recently, there has been significant research interest in cogasification of coaland various types of biomass blends to improve biomass gasification and syngasproduction. In addition, ash present in biomass catalyses the gasification of coal. This experiment was conducted on the cogasification of various types of coal and biomass using drop tube gasifier under two sets temperatures 1173 and 1273K respectively. Most of the reactions are considered as endothermic, the heat input is needed to conduct the reactions. The additions of biomass to NL coal during co-gasification give no effect on gasification, since the reaction is endothermic. The increasing temperature from 1173 to 1273K only give small increase in the yield gas and efficiency due to the short of residence time
