Se realizó un estudio ictiológico de las capturas obtenidas con una red de trampa fija y un registro de las  propiedades hidrológicas en la Laguna de Gandoca, Limón, entre abril del 2006 y julio del 2007. Se identificaron 13 especies pertenecientes a 10 familias. El 98% de las capturas estuvo conformado por cuatro especies de valor comercial: Centropomus pectinatus (77%), Eucinostomus gula (9%), Caranx latus (7%) y Stellifer colonensis (5%). C. pectinatus (róbalo) estuvo presente en todas las capturas. Para C. pectinatus, se determinó que la relación longitud total - peso se ajustó potencialmente a través de la ecuación Pt= 0.004Lt3.1848. La talla de primera madurez de los róbalos se determinó en 30 cm de longitud total. En el ciclo anual de las propiedades termohalinas superficiales, la temperatura máxima se registró en el mes de setiembre (32°C) y la mínima durante diciembre (25.5°C). La laguna exhibe sus mayores salinidades en octubre (21), mientras que las salinidades menores ocurrió en julio y diciembre (1). Entre setiembre y noviembre, la influencia de la onda mareal se extendió de hasta media laguna con salinidades de 20, mientras que en la parte más interna no excedió a 5. Los valores más altos de contenido de oxígeno se observaron entre setiembre y noviembre, cuando el aporte de agua dulce proveniente de las escorrentías es mínimo. Finalmente, las características espacio-temporales del campo salino tienen una influencia directa en la composición y distribución de la ictiofauna que habita en la laguna.An ichthyological study of the fishing catch in a fixed trap net along with hydrographic sampling of the hydrological properties in Gandoca Lagoon, Limón, was carried out between April 2006 and July 2007. Thirteen species belonging to 10 families were identified. Ninty-eight percent of the captures belong to four species of commercial value: Centropomus pectinatus (77%), Eucinostomus gula (9%), Caranx latus (7%) and Stellifer colonensis (5%). C. pectinatus was present in all captures. For C. pectinatus (snook), the relationship between total length and weight was adjusted potentially through the equation Pt= 0.004Lt3.1848. The size of first maturity of snooks was 30 cm. The annual cycle of surface termohaline properties shows the maximum temperature in September (32°C) and the minimum during December (25.5°C). The Lagoon exhibits maximum salinities in October (21) and minimum in July and December (1). Between September and November the influence of the tidal wave extends to the middle of the lagoon with salinities of 20, while in the inner part it does not exceed 5. The highest values in oxygen content were observed between September and November, when the contribution of fresh water runoff is minimal. The space-time characteristics of the salinity field have a direct influence on the composition and distribution of the icthyofauna that inhabits the Lagoon.

This research was conducted to see how Mohammad Natsir thought about the relationship between Islam and Pancasila. This study also explains the causes of Natsir's change of mind which initially supported Pancasila as part of Islam and later turned into an opponent of Pancasila in Konstituante on 11 November to 6 December 1957. The methodology used was a qualitative method by describing the results of the analysis carried out. The research data is obtained through a review of documents and scientific literature. The results of the study show that Mohammad Natsir's change of mind regarding the relationship between Islam and Pancasila was influenced by Mohammad Natsir's political socialization which began from Natsir's view of Islam influenced by the childhood environment (conditional and socio-cultural) in Minangkabau; direct influence from national figures such as Ahmad Hassan, H. Agus Salim, Sheikh Ahmad Syurkati and H. O Tjokroaminoto; the indirect influence of international figures throughout reading book such as Hassan Al-Banna, Amir Syakib Arselan, Rashid Ridha and Muhammad Abduh; the influence of Natsir's organization and political parties, namely Jong Islamieten Bond (JIB), Islamic Unity (Persis), and Masyumi political parties; and the influence of the political conditions at that time which made Natsir's views change, which initially accepted Pancasila and then became an opponent of the Pancasila. This research shown there are two patterns of Natsir's relationship with Pancasila, namely (1) Natsir accepted Pancasila and, (2) Natsir opposed Pancasila.

Susceptibility to ill health among aged people had been linked with climate change impacts in rapidly urbanising cities. Therefore, this study evaluates to the vulnerability of aged people to the health impacts of climate change in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data on clinically diagnosed climate related diseases (CRDs) (2000 – 2014) among aged people (>50 years) and temperature and rainfall parameters (1970 – 2007) in Ibadan were obtained and projected to year 2050. Also, the relationship between the climatic parameters and incidence of the five most prevalent CRDs were analysed using multiple regression. The increasing trend of mean maximum temperature (r = 0.47) and rainfall (r = 0.15) is associated with incidences of hypertension (34.4%), respiratory diseases (21.2%) and diarrhoea (14.3%) among aged people (> 60 years), mostly male folk (67.2%). The linear composite of disease communalities extracted 84.0% variance of the data set with the following component scores: skin disease (0.98), hypertension (0.96), respiratory disease (0.92), diarrhoea (0.89) and malaria (0.45). Further, CRDs (R2 = 27%, p = 0.012) in Ibadan among aged people could be significantly attributed to influences of climatic parameters. The study suggests building aged peoples’ resilience to emanating impacts through health and nutritional improvement programs, and re-introduction of neighbourhood parks and gardens.

Abstract A description is provided for Aschersonia aleyrodis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Scale insects (Coccidae) and whitefly (Aleyrodidae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Costa Rica, Cuba, India, Jamaica, Santo Domingo, Solomon Islands, USA. According to Mains (1959) A. aleyrodis is very common in the Western hemisphere whereas A. placenta is common in the Eastern hemisphere. DISEASE: When the genus Aschersonia Montagne was described in 1848 the species were regarded as parasites of the leaves of the plants on which the insect hosts were located and it was only in 1894 that Webber recognized A. aleyrodis as entomogenous. Early work and the relationship with the ascomycete genus Hypocrella is extensively treated and illustrated in colour by Petch (1921). Sutton (1980) states that approximately 50 taxa have been described in the genus which is wholly entomogenous. Infection is mainly of young larvae, but mature larvae and pupae are also attacked. Larvae in the early stages of infection become swollen and by the time that hyphae emerge around the edge of the infected host the latter is already dead.

Based on the analytical solution of one-dimensional simplified equation of damping tidal wave and Heuristic stability analysis, the precision of numerical solution, computational time and the relationship between the numerical dissipation and the friction dissipation are discussed with different numerical schemes in this paper. The results show that (1) when Courant number is less than unity, the explicit solution of tidal wave propagation has higher precision and requires less computational time than the implicit one; (2) large time step is allowed in the implicit scheme in order to reduce the computational time, but the precision of the solution also reduce and the calculation precision should be guaranteed by reducing the friction factor: (3) the friction factor in the implicit solution is related to Courant number, presented as the determined friction factor is smaller than the natural value when Courant number is larger than unity, and their relationship formula is given from the theoretical analysis and the numerical experiments. These results have important application value for the numerical simulation of the tidal wave.

SUMMARYCampylobacterspp. is a commonly reported food-borne disease with major consequences for morbidity. In conjunction with predicted increases in temperature, proliferation in the survival of microorganisms in hotter environments is expected. This is likely to lead, in turn, to an increase in contamination of food and water and a rise in numbers of cases of infectious gastroenteritis. This study assessed the relationship ofCampylobacterspp. with temperature and heatwaves, in Adelaide, South Australia.We estimated the effect of (i) maximum temperature and (ii) heatwaves on dailyCampylobactercases during the warm seasons (1 October to 31 March) from 1990 to 2012 using Poisson regression models.There was no evidence of a substantive effect of maximum temperature per 1 °C rise (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0·995, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0·993–0·997) nor heatwaves (IRR 0·906, 95% CI 0·800–1·026) onCampylobactercases. In relation to heatwave intensity, which is the daily maximum temperature during a heatwave, notifications decreased by 19% within a temperature range of 39–40·9 °C (IRR 0·811, 95% CI 0·692–0·952). We found little evidence of an increase in risk and lack of association betweenCampylobactercases and temperature or heatwaves in the warm seasons. Heatwave intensity may play a role in that notifications decreased with higher temperatures. Further examination of the role of behavioural and environmental factors in an effort to reduce the risk of increasedCampylobactercases is warranted.

In an effort to achieve the goals set by hospital, qualified nurses are needed. Qualified nurses must show good performance. There are many factors that affect nurse performance. This research was conducted to study the effect of job motivation, job satisfaction, and attitude towards profession on nurse performance in the Outpatient Clinics of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital. The research was an analytical study using a survey method. The subjects of this research were the 62 nurses in the Outpatient Clinics. Data were collected via a self-administered questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationship among variables. Results show that job motivation had a significant direct influence on nurse performance, job satisfaction also had an effect directly on nurse performance, and attitude toward profession had an effect on nurse performance. Besides that, job motivation and attitude towards the nurse profession proved to have a direct influence on job satisfaction. Based on the findings above, it can be concluded that the variations that occur on nurse performance variable are influenced directly by job motivation, job satisfaction, and attitude towards the profession. Keywords: nurse performance, job motivation, job satisfaction, and attitude towards profession

<p>This article will briefly discuss the problems of postmodern theology in the context of the relationship between God and nature. In this case, the author brings the conception of theistic naturalism in the view of classical theology of Islam. Theological conception of postmodernism (theistic naturalism) can be useful contributions to the refreshment of Islamic theology, particularly in the case <em>a</em><em>f</em><em>‘</em><em>â</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>al</em><em>-</em><em>‘</em><em>ibâd</em> and its derivation. The concept of direct influence and indirect influence may help explain the intervention of God toward human beings without denying the law of causality, as the law that becomes standard of modern science. Nevertheless there are some things that need to be considered in this concept: <em>Firstly</em>, God is only the spirit of the universe, God has entrusted His power to the nature, and all the events occurred due to the co-creativity of God and nature. <em>Secondly</em>, God has no a direct influence on the external dimension, rather He is merely a Spirit of things who has influence on inner dimension.</p>

This study examines the relationship between Meningitis and weather parameters (air temperature, maximum temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall) in Kaduna state, Nigeria on a weekly basis from 2007–2019. Meningitis data was acquired weekly from Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Bureau of Statistics and weather parameters were sourced from daily satellite data set National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI). The daily data were aggregated weekly to suit the study. The data were analysed using linear trend and Pearson correlation for relationship. The linear trend results revealed a weekly decline in Cerebro Spinal Meningitis (CSM), wind speed, maximum and air temperature and an increase in relative humidity and rainfall. Generally, results reveal that the most important explanatory weather variables influencing CSM amongst the five (5) are the weekly maximum temperature and air temperature with a positive correlation of 0.768 and 0.773. This study recommends that keen interest be placed on temperature as they play an essential role in the transmission of this disease and most times aggravate the patients' condition.

An increase of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has affected many tropical countries but with an atypical presentation. This illness, known as Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu), presents in younger adults without the typical comorbidities for CKD, often among those working in agricultural production. The cause of disease is unknown but temperature, heat stress, or dehydration are thought to contribute to the development of this condition. There is no information on whether anyone in Ecuador is affected by this illness. We describe CKD rates in Ecuador and hypothesize that CKD is impacted by temperature and the agricultural industry in Ecuador. Using publicly available data from the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos from the years 2010—2015, we describe the rate of CKD among adults aged 20—45 in each province, as well as the agricultural industry across Ecuador. We combined this information with land surface temperature and used a Poisson mixed effects model to assess the relationship between mean temperature, maximum temperature and agricultural industry with CKD rates among adults aged 20—49 in each province. We found that the CKD rate is increasing in this age group over 2010—2015 (p=0.017), and in 2015, CKD rates were highest in Pastaza. Our spatial analysis found that both mean temperature and proportion of population in agriculture were positively associated with CKD rate by province in 2014 and 2015. This preliminary analysis shows that temperature and agricultural industry are associated with CKD rates among adults aged 20—49. While this association does not definitively show the presence of CKDu, it provides evidence to support further investigation of this illness in Ecuador.
