Implementasi Peraturan Daerah Kawasan tanpa Rokok Kota Padang Panjang

Latar belakang: 25,3% penduduk Kota Padang Panjang merokok setiap hari dan diperkirakan 91,9% diantaranya merokok di dalam rumah. Kawasan tanpa rokok menjadi cara alternatif untuk menurunkan prevalensi perokok dan mengurangi dampak merokok terhadap kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi penerapan peraturan daerah kawasan tanpa rokok di Kota Padang Panjang.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain mixed methods dengan rancangan sequential explanatory design. Data kuantitatif berasal dari masyarakat Kota Padang Panjang yang berusia 15-50 tahun dan tinggal sebelum/sejak tahun 2009 Sedangkan data kualitatif diperoleh dari pejabat pemerintah, lembaga swadaya masyarakat dan tokoh masyarakat.

Mayoritas responden (94%) mendukung peraturan, 90% perokok tidak merokok di kawasan tanpa rokok dan lebih dari 50% perokok tidak merokok di smoking room, seperti di pasar (82%) dan terminal (78%).Kesimpulan: Pemerintah dan masyarakat harus kerja sama agar penerapan peraturan daerah kawasan tanpa rokok menjadi lebih efektif. Pemerintah perlu meningkatkan sosialisasi peraturan, bahaya merokok di tempat-tempat umum lainnya

Increase of the mean inner Coulomb potential in Au clusters induced by surface tension and its implication for electron scattering

Electron holography in a transmission electron microscope was applied to measure the phase shift induced by Au clusters as a function of the cluster size. Large phase shifts Df observed for small Au clusters cannot be described by the well-known equation Df=C_E V_0 t (C_E: interaction constant, V_0: mean inner Coulomb potential (MIP) of bulk gold, t: cluster thickness). The rapid increase of the Au MIP with decreasing cluster size derived from Df, can be explained by the compressive strain of surface atoms in the cluster

Measuring the capability to raise revenue process and output dimensions and their application to the Zambia revenue authority

The worldwide diffusion of the good governance agenda and new public management has triggered a renewed focus on state capability and, more specifically, on the capability to raise revenue in developing countries. However, the analytical tools for a comprehensive understanding of the capability to raise revenue remain underdeveloped. This article aims at filling this gap and presents a model consisting of the three process dimensions ‘information collection and processing’, ‘merit orientation’ and ‘administrative accountability’. ‘Revenue performance’ constitutes the fourth capability dimension which assesses tax administration’s output. This model is applied to the case of the Zambia Revenue Authority. The dimensions prove to be valuable not only for assessing the how much but also the how of collecting taxes. They can be a useful tool for future comparative analyses of tax administrations’ capabilities in developing countries.Die weltweite Verbreitung der Good-Governance- und New-Public-Management-Konzepte hat zu einer zunehmenden Konzentration auf staatliche Leistungsfähigkeit und, im Besonderen, auf die Leistungsfähigkeit der Steuererhebung in Entwicklungsländern geführt. Allerdings bleiben die analytischen Werkzeuge für ein umfassendes Verständnis von Leistungsfähigkeit unterentwickelt. Dieser Artikel stellt hierfür ein Modell vor, das die drei Prozess-Dimensionen „Sammeln und Verarbeiten von Informationen“, „Leistungsorientierung der Mitarbeiter“ und „Verantwortlichkeit der Verwaltung“ beinhaltet. „Einnahmeperformanz“ ist die vierte Dimension und erfasst den Output der Steuerverwaltung. Das mehrdimensionale Modell wird für die Analyse der Leistungsfähigkeit der Steuerbehörde Zambias (Zambia Revenue Authority) genutzt. Es erweist sich nicht nur für die Untersuchung des Wieviel, sondern auch des Wie des Erhebens von Steuern als wertvoll. Die vier Dimensionen können in Zukunft zur umfassenden und vergleichenden Analyse der Leistungsfähigkeit verschiedener Steuerverwaltungen in Entwicklungsländern genutzt werden

DAMPAK KEBERADAAN HUTAN TANAMAN INDUSTRI PT. WANA SUBUR LESTARI TERHADAP KESEJAHTERAAN MASYARAKAT DESA SUNGAI RADAK II KECAMATAN TERENTANG KABUPATEN KUBU RAYA

This study aimed to determine the impact of Industrial Plantation Forest of PT. Wana Subur Lestari on people’s welfare in the village of River Radak II. These impacts include increased income, job opportunities, public facilities, public health, social agencies, employment and public welfare. The results of this study are expected to be useful for the implementation of rural development, the improvement of people’s welfare, in the research area in particular and in Kubu Raya regency in general. This study used secondary data taken from relevant agencies and primary data in from of opinion taken from rural community of Sungai Radak II who have been affected by the presence of industrial plantation forest. To analyze the data of this research, SPSS 18.00 was used. The result of this research showed that the presense of Industrial Plantation Forest provides positive impact on the increased income, business opportunities, employment and public welfare. Furthermore, it does not have negative impact on public health and social agencies in the village of Sungai Radak II. The statistical result of income showed that  t  value was -4,905 with sig (2 tailed) indicating that presence of Industrial Plantation Forest of PT. Wana Subur Lestari provides significant impact on people’s income. The average level of well being was “average (40% - 75% of income for the use of food consumption per year)”   Key Words: Impact, Welfare,Village of  Sungai Radak I

Composition and structure of magnetic high-temperature-phase, stable Fe-Au core-shell nanoparticles with zero-valent bcc Fe core

Advanced quantitative TEM/EDXS methods were used to characterize different ultrastructures of magnetic Fe–Au core–shell nanoparticles formed by laser ablation in liquids. The findings demonstrate the presence of Au-rich alloy shells with varying composition in all structures and elemental bcc Fe cores. The identified structures are metastable phases interpreted by analogy to the bulk phase diagram. Based on this, we propose a formation mechanism of these complex ultrastructures. To show the magnetic response of these magnetic core nanoparticles protected by a noble metal shell, we demonstrate the formation of nanostrands in the presence of an external magnetic field. We find that it is possible to control the lengths of these strands by the iron content within the alloy nanoparticles

Improvement of acromegaly control with multimodal therapy in Romania

Introduction: In Romania, there is no acromegaly national register and there are no nationwide data available. However, some studies have reported the control rates in the country’s main referral centres. Our aim was to assess the overall control rate in our tertiary referral centre. Also, we assessed the control rate in the last three years, and we compared the results with our previous reports. Material and methods: We reviewed the charts of 186 patients with acromegaly assessed in our department between January 1st, 2012 and May 31st, 2019. We also compared the control rates for patients treated between April 1st, 2016 and May 31st, 2019 with historical controls (assessed between January 1st, 2012 and March 31st, 2016). Results: Primary analysis: There were 19 untreated and 167 treated patients, mean age 52.46 years, surgery being the most commonly used treatment. The surgical cure rate was 14.8%, and disease control with medical treatment was 35.3%. Secondary analysis: In the first group there were 45 patients, surgery also being the most commonly used treatment. The surgical cure rate was 26.9%, and disease control was 30.4%. In the second group (historical controls) there were 42 patients, surgery being the most commonly used treatment. The surgical cure rate was 9.7%, and disease control with medical treatment was 15.4%. Random GH and IGF-1 after surgery were lower in the first group (p < 0.05) Conclusions: Changes in the Romanian protocol and highly specialised pituitary centres has improved the cure rate and disease control in patients with acromegaly.
