"One of the most controversial issues of the water sector in recent years has been the impacts of large dams. Proponents have claimed that such structures are essential to meet the increasing water demands of the world and that their overall societal benefits far outweight the costs. In contrast, the opponents claim that social and environmental costs of large dams far exceed their benefits, and that the era of construction of large dams is over. A major reason as to why there is no consensus on the overall benefits of large dams is because objective, authoritative and comprehensive evaluations. "

"The poles undergo climate changes exceeding those in the rest of the world in terms of their speed and extent, and have a key role in modulating the climate of the Earth. Ecosystems adapted to polar environments are likely to become vulnerable to climate changes. Their responses allow us to analyse and foresee the impact of changes at lower latitudes. We need to increase our knowledge of the polar marine fauna of continental shelves, slopes and deep sea, as identifying the responses of species and communities is crucial to establishing efficient strategies against threats to biodiversity, using international and cross-disciplinary approaches.

"This paper primarily attempts to detect the trend in the present upshots of global warming temperature data. It has been done through the estimation of the long memory fractional parameter using a simulation technique in the presence of additive outilers which stands as wild observations generated in the atmosphere due to global warming. Then the study investigates empirically the impact global warming on the particular aspect of global agricultural production. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, a data generating process is applied here additive outliers are generated in a discrate way. Observed facts reveal that additive outliers affect the bias and the MSE of the estimated fractional parameter. The size of the additive outliers in data generating process has also important effects on the estimated fractional parameter depending on the value of true fractional parameter. The result exhibits a non-trend or a natural cyclical variability influenced by a stochastic process in the case of climate change behavior with wild observations (outilers) that produce contradictory outcome of profound uncertainties againts the case of true world temperature data trend. The results of empirical investigations assert that in the late 21 century unabated global warming would have a negative impact on global agricultural production in the aggregate and the impact could be severe if carbon fertilization benefits (enhancements of yields in a carbon-rich environment) do not materialize, especially if water scarcity limits irrigation. In addition, if warming would not halt in the 2080s, but would continue on a path toward still higher global temperature in the composition of agricultural damage could be more severe. The study also shows that the composition of agricultural effects is likely to be seriously unfavorable to developing countries with the most severe losses in Africa, Latin America and India."

"Pasien rawat inap di rumah sakit dengan keganasan sering terjadi malnutrisi. Deteksi dini malnutrisi mempercepat terapi awal nutrisi sehingga mengurangi morbiditas dan mortalitas. Penelitian ini merupakan studi uji diagnostik membandingkan MST dan PG-SGA dengan SGA pada pasien kanker ginekologik rawat inap di RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo sebanyak 66 orang pada bulan April 2015. Pengumpulan data menggunakan formulir skrining, pemeriksaan fisik, dan pengukuran antropometri. MST memiliki sensitivitas 70%, spesifisitas 88%, PPV 90%, NPV 65%, AUC 0,79. PG-SGA mempunyai sensitivitas 100%, spesifisitas 92%, PPV 95%, NPV 100%, AUC 0,96. Terdapat perbedaan signifikan lama waktu pengerjaan di antara ketiganya, dengan waktu tercepat dimiliki oleh MST. Prevalensi malnutrisi berdasarkan SGA sebesar 60,6%. PG-SGA merupakan alat skrining yang sesuai dalam mendeteksi malnutrisi pasien kanker ginekologik rawat inap.

Malnutrition is a common problem in hospitalized patients with malignancies. Early recognition of malnutrition leads to appropriate nutritional care plans and reduces rate of both morbidity and mortality. This diagnostic test study which comparing between MST and PG-SGA against SGA, was conducted on 66 hospitalized gynecologic cancer patients in April 2015. Data collection was obtained using screening tool forms, physical examination, and anthropometric measurement. According to SGA, 60.6% of patients were malnourished. MST had a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 88%. The PPV of MST was 90%, NPV 65%, and AUC value was 0.79. PG-SGA had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 92%. The PPV of PG-SGA was 95%, NPV 100%, and AUC value was 0.96. There were a significant difference in time spent applying questionnaires between these screening tools, and MST had the quickest among three. PG-SGA is suitable screening tool for detecting risk of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with gynecologic cancer."
