Small baited tubes of pvc piping lined with a double-sided adhesive tape and attached to trees have been used successfully to detect the small mammals Antechinus stuartii and Petaurus breviceps in eucalypt forests of south Gippsland, Vic. The hair sampling technique has generally been more successful than trapping for the detection of A. stuartii and about as successful as spotlighting for the detection of P. breviceps. The suitability of the technique for detecting shy species such as Acrobates pygmaeus and Cercartetus nanus is at this stage uncertain.

The distribution and abundance of small terrestrial mammals were assessed in forest adjacent to powerline easements at three different sites in New South Wales. At each site, four transects of 300 m length extended into the forest from the edge of the easement. The abundances of two native species (Antechinus stuartii, Rattus fuscipes) did not differ significantly with distance from the easement but abundances differed markedly among sites. Mammals were captured in only one easement where dense vegetation was present. Feral carnivores, which may mediate edge effects on small mammals, were surveyed by using hair-sampling tubes. Cats and dogs were detected only 50–200 m inside the forest. Foxes were not detected by hair-tubes but were observed on two easements. These results suggest that powerline easements may not create edge effects in eucalypt forest for some native mammal species, although further studies are needed to determine the generality of this conclusion. We recommend that easement management should be more benign to native mammals, given the ubiquity of this form of habitat fragmentation. Promotion of dense vegetative cover and habitat linkages within easements could achieve this.

<p><em>Cardiac arrest is a significant cause of death worldwide, and an estimated 17.9 million people die from heart disease. In 2016, cardiac arrest represented 31% of all global deaths, and heart attacks and strokes caused 85%. In the treatment of cardiac arrest, health providers must perform cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation, a combination of chest compressions, and assistance for the victim's breathing. Nurses must be able to provide high-quality CPR to the patients for optimal outcomes. This study aimed to describe the knowledge of nurses in six private hospitals in Indonesia about high-quality CPR. This research was quantitative descriptive using a modified questionnaire regarding the theory of high-quality CPR. The population in this study were nurses from adult inpatient wards at six private hospitals in Indonesia with a total sample of 86 respondents through convenience sampling technique. The results showed that 79.1% inpatient nurses at six hospitals in Indonesia had good knowledge about high-quality CPR. Nurses are expected to maintain and improve their knowledge and ability to provide high-quality CPR so that the basic life support provided will be of high quality and provide optimal results for cardiac arrest patients in hospitals.</em><strong><br /><br />BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Henti jantung merupakan penyebab kematian yang signifikan di dunia dan diperkirakan 17,9 juta orang meninggal karena penyakit jantung.

We used a food-supplementation experiment to test the hypothesis that small-mammal populations are food-limited during winter in southeastern Australia. We trapped small mammals along 120- to 150-m transects at 12 creek and 12 ridgetop sites (representing high- and low-quality habitats) for 2 months prior to winter and 2 months during winter. High-quality food (peanut butter, honey, oats, and dried cat food) was provided ad libitum for 7 weeks during winter at four sites in each habitat. Eight sites were provided with empty feeding tubes and eight were untreated. Seven weeks of food supplementation caused numerical increases of 4.0- and 5.0-fold for the rodents Rattus fuscipes and Rattus lutreolus, respectively. Increases were due largely to immigration, and were only observed in the high-quality creek habitats (R. lutreolus were exclusively captured at creek sites). Food supplementation also led to an increase in body mass and reversed the hiatus in winter breeding for rodents. These results suggest that populations of both species are limited by winter food availability. However, survival rates (indexed from recapture rates) were not affected by food supplementation. Mean body mass of the marsupial Antechinus stuartii also increased with food supplementation, but other demographic parameters showed no response; numbers declined at creek sites after additional food was provided. Trapping-revealed measures of interspecific association showed that A. stuartii avoided areas of high rat numbers after additional food was provided. It is thus likely that interference competition from the much larger and more abundant rodents forced A. stuartii out of the food-supplemented creek sites, hence mediating the direct effects of food supplementation on this species.

Quality of life of patients CAD after PCI needs to be seen as an evaluation of the interventions carried out, which need to be studied continuously by looking at health status, socioeconomic, and differences in the measurement tools used can be found differences from each item measured. This study aims to look at the quality of life of patients with CAD after PCI at the cardiac center of RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The samples in this study were all patients CAD after PCI who were outpatient at RSHS Bandung. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique and obtained 100 respondents. Data is collected using Macnew instruments by analyzing data using frequency distribution.The results showed that 95 respondents (95%) had a high quality of life. The quality of life results based on subvariables from highest to lowest are obtained as follows; emotional subvariable (94%) with a mean of 5.90, social subvariable (94%) with a mean of 5.84 and physical subvariable (93%) with a mean of 5.60.In conclusion, almost all respondents have a high quality of life which is reinforced by the results of high social and emotional aspects, but the physical aspects still need to be improved by providing adequate information regarding the patient's disease and the benefits of attending cardiac rehabilitation to improve the quality of life. In addition, physical, emotional and social management plays an important role in improving the quality of life of patients.Keywords: After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Coronary Heart Disease, Quality of Life

Background: a higher rate of recommended chest compression is needed for neo automatic code (NAC)-guided cardiopulmonary resuscitations (CPR) to obtain high-quality chest compressions. High-quality chest compressions could improve ROSC. Purpose: the study aim to analyze the effects of CPR using NAC on the ROSC in-hospital cardiac arrest in Indonesia. Methods: this study used a quantitative, post-test quasi-experimental design with a control group. The samples were 74 cardiac arrest patients in two hospitals in Surakarta and Klaten, Indonesia, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test. Results: the incidence of ROSC in the control group was 30%, and in the treatment group was 35%. The result of statistical analysis showed that there were differences in the ROSC in the intervention and control group with a p-value of 0.003. Conclusion: NAC assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitations increased ROSC. It is recommended that Code Blue Teams should use NAC to improve the quality of chest compressions for the better result of ROSC.
