The Contextual Influences on the Initiation of Occupational Therapy Education Programs in Countries Where Few or No Other Programs Exist
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
Initiating curricula in five countries with few resources was influenced by the interaction of local context, key events, and stakeholders’ conceptions of occupational therapy and education. These findings support development of effective and locally situated occupational therapy programs.

Different Photoperiod and Light Intensity on Growth and Survival of Juvenile Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus schwanenfeldii
No full textTinfoil barb Barbonymus schwanenfeldii is one of the endemic fish species from Borneo and Sumatera. Tinfoil barb as one of the ornamental fish commodities, but has the potential to be aquaculture as a consumption fish. To support the much needed aquaculture juvenile mass production technologies and sustainable. Problems Tinfoil barb is overfishing, endangered, aquaculture has not grown, relatively slow growth, and low survival rate. Environmental manipulation such as photoperiod and light intensity could be expected to be applied to increase fish production. This study aimed to determine the best of photoperiod and light intensity on growth and survival of juvenile Tinfoil barb. Tinfoil barb with the initial average of body weight and length of 0.12±0.04 g and 2.01±0.22 cm were used. Fish were reared in the plastic tank with water volume of 50 l and stocked of 50 fish each tank. Fish was fed commercial food three times a day. White fluorescent lamp was used in order to adjust to light intensity and provided with automatic timer. Factorial completely randomized design with two factors was performed. The treatments of this experiment were as followed: (L6I250) photoperiod of 6 hours and 250 lux, (L6I400) photoperiod of 6 hours and 400 lux, (L6I550) photoperiod of 6 hours and 550 lux, (L12I250) photoperiod of 12 hours and 250 lux, (L12I400) photoperiod of 12 hours and 400 lux, (L12I550) photoperiod of 12 hours and 550 lux, (L18I250) photoperiod of 18 hours and 250 lux, (L18I400) photoperiod of 18 hours and 400 lux, (L18I550) photoperiod of 18 hours and 550 lux. Each treatment consisted of three replicates. Parameter study are survival rate, specific growth rate, absolute length, total feed intake, feed efficiency, and vitality of juvenile Tinfoil barb to water flow were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan's test post hoc to determine differences between treatments with 95% confidence interval. Data distribution of the weight and length of the fish, water quality were analyzed descriptively. The results showed the existence of interaction photoperiod and light intensity on juvenile Tinfoil barb that significantly affect the specific growth rate, absolute length, total feed intake, and vitality level of juvenile Tinfoil barb. But no significantly effect on survival and efficiency feed. In addition, photoperiod and light intensity also affects the distribution of weight and length of juvenile Tinfoil barb. Growth and survival Tinfoil barb the best performances at photoperiod of 12 hours and 550 lux was found
Peppermint Oil Administration Can Stabilizes Blood Glucose and Improves Survival of Bonylip Barb in Closed Transportation System
No full textTransportation of Bonylip barb fish is important for supports the production of cultivation and economic markets distribution. The high mortality of Bonylip barb seeds is an problem for Bonylip barb fish farmers. An addition of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita L.) attempts to suppress respiratory response and minimize mortality. The purposes the research was to test the effect of peppermint oil on Bonylip barb seeds and find out the best dosage of peppermint oil on Bonylip barb seeds. The research design is Completely Randomized Design consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications, i.e. A (0 mL/L); B (0.1 mL/L); C (0.2 mL/L); and D (0.3 mL/L). This study used Bonylip barb seeds (3.33 ± 0.58 g) with density of 20 fish/L. Research procedures included seed preparation and acclimatization, fasting, adding peppermint oil, packaging, fish transportation for 8 hours, and rearing for 7 days. The results showed that peppermint oil had a significant effect on induction time, recovery time, blood glucose after transportation and maintenance, and survival life of Bonylip barb seeds. The best dose of peppermint oil was shown by 0.1 mL/L, which produced an induction time of 8.14 ± 5.07 minutes and a sedative time of 11.54 ± 2.60 minutes; fish blood glucose after transportation and maintenance was 68.33 ± 3.06 mg/dL and 64.67 ± 0.58 mg/dL, and the survival rate of 88.33 ± 5.77%. Result of this research is expected to provide essential guidance for fish farmers during the transportation of Bonylip barb, helping to enhance the safety and well-being of the fish throughout the shipping proces
Larval Nutrition of Silver Barb Barbodes Gonionotus with an Emphasis on Protein-Energy Requirements and Feeding Strategy
No full textA series of experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of rearing silver
barb larvae on an artificial diet. Prior to the evaluation of artificial diet in rearing silver
barb larvae, a study was conducted to determine the changes in the amino acid profile of
silver barb from freshly stripped eggs to newly hatched larvae. The result showed that
the amino acid pattern changed according to the developmental stages of the fish
larvae.
The optimum protein requirement of silver barb larvae was determined using five
isocaloric diets with varying protein levels (40, 45, 50, 55 and 60% protein). The results
showed that the larval growth was highest when they were fed a diet containing 55%
protein followed by those fed with 50, 45, 60 and 40% protein. Although the highest
survival was obtained among larvae fed on a 50% protein diet, it was not significantly
different (P>0.05) from the survival of those fed on a 55% protein diet.
In the following study, the optimal protein-energy requirement of silver barb
larvae was determined. Six experimental diets containing two levels of protein (50% and
55% protein) and three energy levels (18.8, 19.7 and 20.5 kJ g-') were evaluated. In this
study, larvae fed a diet containing 50% protein with 19.7 kJ g" energy obtained the best
growth and highest survival. This level was found to be optimum for growth and
maintenance of the larvae.
An experiment was also conducted to find the best feeding rate for silver barb
larvae. The present study showed a significant relationship between feeding rate and
growth of the larvae. Based on growth, feed efficiency and survival, an optimal feeding
rate of 45% BW d-' was found for silver barb larvae.
Lastly, this study revealed that silver barb larvae are visual feeder. Feeding the
larvae throughout the day (day and night) did not give any beneficial effect for the larvae
and resulted in lower growth and survival. This study suggested that feeding the larvae
four times during daytime was the best feeding frequency for silver barb larviculture
Enhancing career development: the role of community-based career guidance for disengaged adults
No full textFrancesca Beddie, Barb Lorey and Barbara Pamphilon investigate learning and career development services for adults, particularly those who are in some way disengaged from the labour market or educational systems. They consider whether a single career development service model could be broadly applied. The study found that many older job seekers or those marginally employed needing career advice were reluctant to seek it, and that such advice was best provided by agencies which are community-based, affordable and impartial
