HUBUNGAN DUKUNGAN KELUARGA DAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN PADA PASIEN HIPERTENSI DI PUSKESMAS BAWANGAN KECAMATAN PLOSO

(Latar Belakang) Hypertension is defined as a persistent increase in blood pressure above normal blood pressure, systolic pressure more than 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure more than 90 mmHg. Efforts to avoid it, both internal and external therapies are needed, one of which is family support and knowledge, family support is a form of interpersonal relationship that includes attitudes, actions and acceptance of family members, so that family members feel that someone is paying attention to them. Management of hypertension requires familysupport and knowledge of patients in the healing process so that process is going well. (Tujuan) This study aims to determine whether or not there is a relationship between family support and the level of knowledge of hypertensive patients at the Bawangan Health Center, Ploso subdistrict. (Metode) This study is a type of Correlational Non-Experimental research, using aCross Sectional Study design conducted on hypertensive patients using a validatedquestionnaire. The sampling method used was purposive sampling with a sample of 94 hypertensive patients. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test with a significance value (α) of 0.05. (Hasil dan Kesimpulan) The results obtained are a picture of family support for hypertensive patients as much as 84% get good family support, 14.9% get enough family support and the last with less family support as much as 1.1%. In this study,a picture of the level of knowledge of hypertensive patients was also obtained as much as 93.6% had good knowledge, 5.3% had sufficient knowledge, and 1.1% had insufficient knowledge. The results of data analysis using chi-square showed that there was a relationship between family support and the level of knowledge ofhypertensive patients (p=0.000)

Riemannian consensus for manifolds with bounded curvature

Consensus algorithms are popular distributed algorithms for computing aggregate quantities, such as averages, in ad-hoc wireless networks. However, existing algorithms mostly address the case where the measurements lie in Euclidean space. In this work we propose Riemannian consensus, a natural extension of existing averaging consensus algorithms to the case of Riemannian manifolds. Unlike previous generalizations, our algorithm is intrinsic and, in principle, can be applied to any complete Riemannian manifold. We give sufficient convergence conditions on Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature and we analyze the differences with respect to the Euclidean case. We test the proposed algorithms on synthetic data sampled from the space of rotations, the sphere and the Grassmann manifold.This work was supported by the grant NSF CNS-0834470.

Rank discriminants for predicting phenotypes from RNA expression

Statistical methods for analyzing large-scale biomolecular data are commonplace in computational biology. A notable example is phenotype prediction from gene expression data, for instance, detecting human cancers, differentiating subtypes and predicting clinical outcomes. Still, clinical applications remain scarce. One reason is that the complexity of the decision rules that emerge from standard statistical learning impedes biological understanding, in particular, any mechanistic interpretation. Here we explore decision rules for binary classification utilizing only the ordering of expression among several genes; the basic building blocks are then two-gene expression comparisons. The simplest example, just one comparison, is the TSP classifier, which has appeared in a variety of cancer-related discovery studies. Decision rules based on multiple comparisons can better accommodate class heterogeneity, and thereby increase accuracy, and might provide a link with biological mechanism. We consider a general framework ("rank-in-context") for designing discriminant functions, including a data-driven selection of the number and identity of the genes in the support ("context"). We then specialize to two examples: voting among several pairs and comparing the median expression in two groups of genes. Comprehensive experiments assess accuracy relative to other, more complex, methods, and reinforce earlier observations that simple classifiers are competitive.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/14-AOAS738 the Annals of Applied Statistics (http://www.imstat.org/aoas/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

PERANAN KETERANGAN AHLI PADA PROSES PERADILAN UNTUK MENGUNGKAP TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI DI INDONESIA (Studi Perkara Tindak Pidana Korupsi Bupati Blitar Drs. H. Imam Muhadi, MBA, MM)

Meski tindak pidana korupsi bukanlah hal yang baru, namun peradilan tindak pidana korupsi bisa dikatakan sebagai fenomena baru dalam dunia peradilan di Indonesia. Bergulirnya orde reformasi seraya bergulir pula proses peradilan kasus-kasus korupsi di Indonesia. Dari pengamatan penulis tercatat beberapa kasus korupsi semasa orde reformasi bergulir seperti kasus Bulok Gate yang melibatkan Akbar Tanjung dengan Vonis hukuman 3 tahun penjara yang dalam kasasi diputus bebas, Dadang Sukandar, Winfried Simatupang yang masing masing menjalani hukuman 1 tahun 6 bulan dipotong masa tahanan, Syahril Sabirin dalam kasus Bank Bali yang dalam Putusan Pengadilan Tinggi membebaskan Syahril Sabirin dari segala dakwaan Jaksa Penuntut Umum, Probo Soetedjo dalam kasus Hutan Tanaman Industri (HTI) yang divonis 4 tahun penjara oleh Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat, serta masih banyak lagi kasus-kasus korupsi yang lain baik yang sudah disidangkan maupun yang akan disidangkan. \ud Dalam penulisan hukum ini penulis mengetengahkan judul Peranan Keterangan Ahli Pada Proses Peradilan Untuk Mengungkap Tindak Pidana Korupsi Di Indonesia (Studi Perkara Tindak Pidana Korupsi Bupati Blitar Drs H.Imam Muhadi MBA,MM). Objek penelitian sekaligus permasalahan dalam penulisan hukum disini adalah fakta-fakta apa yang terungkap dalam keterangan ahli di persidangan serta apakah keterangan ahli adalah faktor yang signifikan dalam putusan hakim terhadap kasus karupsi terdakwa Drs H.Imam Muhadi MBA,MM. Pendekatannya menggunakan pendekatan normatif yaitu sebuah pendekatan dari sumber-sumber kepustakaan. Namun dalam hal ini penulis tidak menutup kemungkinan adanya sumber-sumber penelitian yang didapat dari informan secara langsung. \ud Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis menemukan tiga ahli yang diajukan kepersidangan yaitu Drs. Edy Sulistiono (ahli yang diajukan Jaksa Penuntut Umum), dan Prof. Dr. Nyoman Serikat Putra Jaya, SH. MH serta Wijaya, SH. MH yang keduanya diajukan oleh Penasehat Hukum Terdakwa. Keterangan Edy Sulistiono cenderung memberatkan Terdakwa Drs H.Imam Muhadi MBA,MM. serta bernilai sangat esensial dalam mengungkap tindak pidana korupsi yang dilakukan Terdakwa Drs H.Imam Muhadi MBA,MM. Hal ini disebabkan karena keterangan ahli Edy Sulistiono mempunyai kesesuaian dengan keterangan para saksi dan fakta-fakta hukum dipersidangan sementara keterangan ahli Nyoman Serikat Putra Jaya dan Wijaya hanya memberikan keterangan secara umum tentang penerapan hukum dalam kasus yang disidangkan tanpa memberikan pembelaan secara langsung kepada Terdakwa. Namun demikian keterangan kedua ahli yang diajukan oleh Penasehat Hukum Terdakwa ini bukan berarti tidak bernilai esial sama sekali. Dalam hal-hal tertentu meskipun keterangannya dimentahkan oleh hakim dipersidangan namun cukup memberikan arahan bagi pengetahuan hakim dalam menerapkan hukum terhadap kasus korupsi Terdakwa Drs H.Imam Muhadi MBA,MM. ini.\ud Kesimpulan dari penulisan hukum ini adalah bahwa pada prinsipnya keterangan ahli mempunyai peran penting dalam mengngkap tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia, serta merupakan faktor signifikan terhadap putusan hakim dalam memeriksa kasus korupsi meski adakalanya keterangan ahli ada yang dimentahkan oleh hakim dalam putusan. \ud Ahli yang diajukan kepersidangan adalah Ahli yang tidak independent. Keberadaannya selalu berada pada posisi tawar fihak yang mengajukannya kepersidangan sehingga hal apa yang diterangkan selalu sedapat mungkin dapat memperkuat alasan yang dikehendaki fihak yang mengajukan. sehingga dalam praktek keterangan ahli cenderung memberatkan atau meringankan terdakwa. Hal ini menurut hemat penulis cenderung merancuhkan posisi ahli sebagai ahli atau sebagai saksi. Oleh karenanya penulis menyarankan agar hal-hal yang terkait dengan ahli diatur secara jelas dalam Undang-undang

Evaluation of knowledge and attitude of Kerman residents about the usage of bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes

Use of bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes is common in many communities, particularly in places where there is no water of good quality. This type of water supply is an appropriate alternative in prevention of much investment in full-scaled water treatment and dual water distribution system. In Iran, where water is considered as a serious challenge, use of bottled water can be constructive. In this investigation a questionnaire considered of 17 questions was designed and distributed among different classes of Kerman community (N=500) selected by random cluster method in order to evaluate their level of knowledge and attitude about the usage of bottled water. According to the results 45% of the respondents had poor knowledge, 38.8% average, and only 16.2% had a high level of knowledge about the usage of bottled water. Attitudes of the respondents to the use of bottled water were positive, but the market price of the available bottles as well as authorities’ motive for promoting the use of bottled water were questioned by the respondents. It is necessary to take proper measure in order to improve peoples’ level knowledge in this respect, and to encourage people for using bottled water by lowering the price.

Perbedaan Kekuatan Tekan (Compressive Strength) Resin Komposit Nanofill Antara Teknik Inkremental dan Teknik Bulk Fill

Composite resin is a commonly used restoration material used in dental practice. This particular material is widely requested due to its esthetic value. Composite resin is more used than amalgam materials, even for posterior teeth restoration. This study is aimed to determine the most effective technique in using nanofill composite resin. This study uses acrylic casts with a 6 mm diameter and 6 mm height. A total of 32 samples were divided to 2 groups, each with 16 samples. The first group applied the incremental technique, while the second group applied bulk fill. Samples were soaked in aquades and incubated for 24 hours in a temparature of 370 C. A universal testing machine (UTM) were used to test their compressive strength on a rate of 1 mm/minute with load 100 ton. Obtained data were analyzed using independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference of compressive strength between the two groups p=0,000, (p<0,05), with the incremental group having a higher compressive strength than the bulk fill group
