While morphological abnormalities have been widely reported in batomorphs, ontogenetic deformities of the posterior pectoral fin are rare. In this paper, we present two individuals of the bluespotted ribbontail ray, (Forsskål, 1775), with symmetrically deformed posterior pectoral fins. Both individuals were observed through aerial imagery on a coastal sandflat in the central Red Sea (22.30° N, 39.09° E). The similarity of this symmetrical deformity in both individuals indicates it likely has a genetic base. However, lacking access to the specimens, the ultimate cause of the abnormality remains uncertain. The incomplete disk closure did not seem to affect survival, as both individuals had reached a disk width of 22 cm, well above the typical birth size of the species. Our observations constitute both the first report of a morphological abnormality in and the first record of a batomorph with a symmetrically deformed posterior pectoral fin.

Maninjau Lake can be found in West Sumatra province, specifically in the Tanjung Raya District of the Agam Regency. The Government and the nearsocieties utilize the lake catchment area aimed at agriculture, refreshment, settlement and floating net cages. Increased anthropogenic activity can affect the quality of the lake. This investigation’s goal is to assess Lake Maninjau’s water quality using the Pollution Index (PI) and the Storage and Retrieval (STORET) method. The research was showed at five sampling stations in the Maninjau Lake area from November 2021. The water quality in Maninjau Lake is classified as moderately polluted by the STORET method. Nonetheless, the Maninjau Lake’s water quality falls under different categories according to the PI. From Good condition to Moderately polluted is the range for Class I (in use as a water source for drinking). Lightly to Moderately polluted is Class II (outdoor recreation assets and facilities, fishery, livestock farming, and agricultural uses). Class III, on the other hand (meant for breeding freshwater fish, raising livestock, and watering crops) and Class IV irrigation systems are categorized as Good condition and lightly polluted, respectively.

The use of motorcycles increased rapidly. Data from Yogyakarta Central Bureau Statistics showed from 2015 to 2019 the number of motorized vehicles increased by 8% every year. Motor vehicle air pollution comes from exhaust gases resulting from combustion. Becak Motorcycles are widely used in Yogyakarta and are usually used motorcycles with a long life. Hydrocarbons (HC) or unburned fuel and carbon monoxide (CO), were air-fuel control. This research was studied to determine the ability of palm shell activated charcoal to reduce CO, HC and noise. The 14 meshes sample diameter placed inside the tube from 24 meshes of stainless steels were prepared. The weight of activated charcoal of 10 grams, 20 grams and 30 grams were tried to reduce the In the exhaust of a 1984 Suzuki motorcycle with plate number AB 4194 CK, an exhaust extension was installed, then palm activated carbon was placed inside and the emission gases were measured. Stages 898 was used to test the emission. The smallest size could adsorb the largest emissions and noise. The weight of activated charcoal of 10 grams, 20 grams and 30 grams 14 meshes could reduce CO, HC and noise emission were 0.294 % to 0.616 %, 454 ppm to 798 ppm, -o.63 dB to 1.6 dB, respectively. The weight of activated charcoal of 10 grams, 20 grams and 30 grams 14 meshes saturated time were 270 seconds, 173 seconds and 299 seconds, respectively.

Background: Human exposure to cadmium has various effects on health, especially on male reproductive organs. Although it is widely known that prenatal maternal cadmium exposure can affect birth outcomes, the effect of paternal exposure to cadmium remains unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of paternal cadmium exposure on fetal growth by considering maternal cadmium exposure and exposure to other heavy metals, namely mercury and lead. Methods: The Mothers and Children's environmental Health (MOCEH) study is a prospective birth cohort study in Korea. Overall, 1313 families (father-mother-child triple) without child abnormalities and who completed paternal whole blood cadmium assessments were included in this study. Families were divided into two subgroups based on the blood sampling periods, namely early and late pregnancy. Subjects were selected as follows: one family triple with a high level of paternal cadmium and two triples with low levels of paternal cadmium, using the method of propensity score matching. And linear regression analyses were performed. Results: The group with high paternal cadmium exposure (80% or more;1.93 μg/L) had lower birth weight infants compared to the group with low cadmium concentrations (β(se) = −0.21(0.10);p-value = 0.0283). After stratification by infant sex, prenatal paternal cadmium exposure significantly reduced the birth weight of females in subgroups of different sampling times, namely early pregnancy (β(se) = −0.52 (0.22);p-value = 0.0170) and late pregnancy (β(se) = −0.43 (0.18);p-value = 0.0160). Finally, after performing propensity score matching in the early pregnancy measurement group, it was found that the prenatal exposure of father to cadmium significantly reduced birth weight in females (β(se) = −0.72(0.25);p-value = 0.0047). Conclusion: This study assessed the effect of paternal cadmium exposure on birth outcomes in family units consisting of a father, mother, and child. Prenatal paternal cadmi
