Foraging by rice-field rats (Rattus argentiventer) can significantly reduce rice harvest. Rat populations are cyclic responding to season and crop maturity. Rat location also reflects the crop cycle. A study conducted near Sukamandi, Indonesia described rice-field rat burrow systems and patterns of use, and assessed demographics of rice-field rats found in burrows adjacent to rice fields. Burrows ranged from simple short tunnels to complex systems. Most simple systems consisted of a straight tunnel approximately 75 cm long. Mean tunnel length of more complex systems was approximately 300 cm, but a few contained tunnels up to 700 cm. Burrow systems had between 1 and 5 entrances, with 0 to 8 choice-points within the system. A choice-point was defined as any place within the system where the animal could choose a different path (e.g., Y in the tunnel, nest). Number of chambers within systems also varied, ranging from none to six. There was no correlation between rat activity within a system, measured by the closed-hole method, and complexity of the system. Long-term monitoring suggested both male and female rats occupied burrow systems along rice banks, except relatively short periods during spring (March, April) and early fall (September) when burrows were used almost exclusively by females. These periods appear to correlate when high numbers of female rats are gestating and lactating.

Teenagers need higher nutrients than adults in adolescents, there is an increase in physical growth and significant body development. Changes in lifestyle and eating habits of adolescents affect their intake and nutritional needs.This study aims to determine the relationship of knowledge and diet with the nutritional status of adolescents at the Nahdlatul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Soreang Maros.This research is an analytical study with cross sectional survey design. The subject in this study were adolescents at the Nahdlatul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in Soreang Maros, Maros Regency, amount to 134 people. The nutritional knowledge of the subject was obtained through interviews using a questionnaire. The subject diet was obtained through interviews using Food Frequency Quesionarrie (FFQ). Nutritional status (BMI / U) of the sample is obtained from the results of measurements of body weight and height. To find out the relationship between variables of knowledge and diet with nutritional status, chi square test was conducted using SPSS program. Data is presented in the form of frequency distribution and narrative tables.The results of the study show that subject knowledge is 73.1% good and 26.7% less. The subject diet was 53.10% less and 47.0% good. The nutritional status of the subject was 94.8 good and 5.2% more. The results of statistical tests between variables showed no relationship between knowledge and diet and there was no relationship between knowledge and nutritional status and there was a relationship between diet and nutritional status.

Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, manusia dituntut untuk menjadi lebih praktis dan efisien dalam menjalankan kehidupannya. Perubahan ini tentunya akan berakibat pada pola makan manusia, salah satunya adalah dengan mengkonsumsi makanan yang siap saji. Makanan cepat saji biasanya mempunyai kelemahan pada kandungan seratnya, untuk itu diperlukan penambahan sayuran untuk meningkatkan kandungan serat. Adapun sayuran yang akan ditambahkan dalam pembuatan nugget cumi-cumi adalah bayam, dimana seperti kita ketahui bayam mengandung zat gizi yang tinggi dan bayam juga mudah didapatkan sehingga bisa menjadi alternatif sumber zat gizi.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui daya terima serta analisis kadar protein dan fosfor pada nugget cumi-cumi dengan penambahan bayam.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian laboratorium. Panelis yang diambil adalah 25 orang mahasiswi dan mahasiswa Prodi D3 Gizi dan Sarjana Terapan Gizi dan Dietetika Jurusan Gizi untuk mengetahui daya terima produk terbaik. Data hasil uji daya terima nugget cumi-cumi dengan penambahan bayam dikelompokkan, kemudian diolah dengan menggunakan program computer yaitu Microsoft Exel dan SPSS sedangkan data kandungan protein diperoleh dari hasil uji protein metode Kjeldahl dan data kandungan fosfor diperoleh dari hasil uji fosfor metode AOAC.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nugget cumi-cumi dengan penambahan bayam yang paling banyak disukai yaitu pada konsentrasi 5% (X2) dengan hasil analisis kandungan protein rata-rata 15,49 % dan kandungan fosfor rata-rata 0,094%. Sedangkan untuk konsentrasi 0% (X1) dengan hasil analisis kandungan protein rata-rata 13,45 % dan kandungan fosfor rata-rata 0,073%.Disarankan agar dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai analisis zat gizi untuk mengetahui zat gizi lain yang terkandung pada nugget cumi-cumi dengan penambahan bayam.Kata kunci : Nugget cumi-cumi, bayam, protein dan fosfor

Makassar City, Maros Regency and Tana Toraja Regency in South Sulawesi Province are regions with varying topography. Makassar City is a lowland area (1-19 DPAL), Maros Regency is a middle-land region with variations in height of 15-700 DPAL and Tana Toraja Regency located in the Toraja highland region 700 -820 DPAL which is ideal for the breeding of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as a vector which is dominant to the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever, because it has a temperature between 19,00 0 -31,00 0 C (Central Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Council region IV Makassar), with humidity between 63-94%. Between temperature and humidity affect each other for the breeding of Aedes aegypti, climate conditions (temperature and humidity) will support the increase in mosquito population density and subsequently have an impact on the transmission and spread of dengue hemorrhagic fever. Temperature between 20 o C -30 o C with a humidity range of 60% -90% is the optimum moisture for growth and development of the Aedes aegypti mosquito 4 . The aim of the study was to determine the effect of climate conditions on the transmission and spread of dengue hemorrhagic fever in South Sulawesi Province. This type of research is cross-sectional by measuring all variables at the same time. The research sites were Makassar City, Barru Regency and Tana Toraja Regency. Analysis using Spearman Correlation. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between air temperature and duration of solar radiation on the number of cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (rs = 0.281 and 0.265 p <0,000), while also having a significant relationship but with negative rs (p = 0.001).Conclusion climate factors are related to the incidence of dbd in the province of South Sulawesi. Prevention of dbd should be by anticipating environmental improvements to eliminate climate factors in order to suppress cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever.
