Traditional markets are areas with high trading activities that generate organic waste, making them potential breeding grounds for flies. Flies can act as mechanical vectors for intestinal parasites, including pathogenic protozoa and Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH), due to their habit of landing on organic materials, waste, and surfaces contaminated with feces. This condition can increase the …
Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) analysis is used to assess fishing productivity and as an indicator of fish stock abundance in waters. CPUE values represent the ratio between catch and fishing effort. This study aims to determine CPUE values and analyze the production factors that influence catch. The research method used a survey method with purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using…
Endometrial cancer is a malignancy that develops in the epithelial lining of the endometrial cancer. Previous studies have suggested a potential involvement of the Partner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) gene in the development of endometrial cancer. This indicates that PALB2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer and could be considered a potential biomarker. This study aimed…
Belawan Ocean Fishing Port (PPS) is one of the type A fishing ports that has a vital role in supporting capture fisheries activities in North Sumatra. One of the primary services provided is mooring services. However, the condition of facilities such as docks and water depths that are not optimal has the potential to reduce service quality and affect fishermen's satisfaction. This study aims to…
Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, with a steadily increasing incidence worldwide. This cancer is characterized by the accumulation of unrepaired DNA damage that leads to genomic instability. One of the key pathways maintaining genomic stability is the homologous recombination repair (HRR) mechanism, in which the RAD51 gene plays a central role in repairing…
Time efficiency in unloading is the ratio between the effective time used to transfer the catch from the fishing vessel to the transport vessel, then to the Fish Auction Site (FAS), and the total time available for these activities. This indicator is important in the unloading process at fish auctions because it affects the speed of catch distribution and fishermen's operational costs. This stu…
Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) is one of the important fishery commodities frequently landed at Bungus Oceanic Fishing Port (PPS Bungus), West Sumatra. Skipjack production has shown fluctuations in recent years, raising concerns of potential overfishing if not properly managed. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the potential and utilization level to support sustainable fisheries resource…
Endometrial cancer is a gynecological malignancy with an incidence rate that continues to increase annually. This indicates the importance of further understanding endometrial cancer, especially regarding its pathogenesis. One gene that plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis is the CHEK2 gene. Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) is a gene that plays a crucial role in the DNA damage response mechanism…

The main fisheries producers in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency are the districts of Kuala Jambi, Mendahara, Nipah Panjang, Sadu, and Muara Sabak Timur. This research was conducted in Kuala Jambi Waters, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, Jambi Province in…
The double burden of malnutrition is the simultaneous occurrence of undernutrition and overnutrition, a condition that is trending among adolescents. One of the nutritional problems resulting from this is obesity and iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia itself is influenced by protein intake. This study aims to analyze the characteristics, description of protein intake, hemoglobin lev…
Sepsis is a medical emergency with high morbidity and mortality, demanding optimal management, including the adjustment of definitive antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity results. This retrospective descriptive study aims to provide an overview of culture results and the pattern of definitive antibiotic therapy use in 57 sepsis patients treated at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of RSUD A…
The sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is well known for its sap, which is processed into palm sugar. Leave extract of this tree also possesses potential antidiabetic properties that may help regulate blood glucose levels. Previous studies have shown that the phytochemical compounds contained in A. pinnata leaves such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and triterpenoids have the potential to reduce bl…
