Background: The likelihood of future progression to diabetes mellitus can be assessed using various indicators of insulin resistance. Waist circumference, body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ratio are routinely employed in estimating obesity, which in turn contributes to insulin resistance. Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), is measured with the patient in supine position, causing the subcutaneous fat to fall down towards either side, and hence leaving the harder visceral fat to be measured by SAD. Waist circumference, however, measures both subcutaneous and visceral fat.

Introduction: There is evidence that the impaired childhood growth and development that result from poor nutrition are linked to chronic disease in adulthood.

Space as a guided environment is always produced by humans where in its formation process, there are planned and unplanned spaces. Unplanned spaces tend to be formed by local communities with local spirit. Banua Oge (Souraja) is the king's settlement (royal palace) in ancient time.

The tradition of exploiting space for the construction of the royal palace at that time was on a vacant lot (no owner lot).

The presence of MO in wastewater, due to the its toxicity must be treated before it is allowed to discharge. A novel study based on a dual oxidation process was carried out to degrade MO in the water samples. The dual oxidation process consisting of persultfate ions (PS), Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI), H2O2 and UV radiation, pH = 4.28 was proven to be most effective to decompose methyl orange from water samples. A empirical pseudo – first order rate equation was determined that fits the experimental data well.
