Reality and Its Hierarchy "Polanyi's Critics on Material Reductionism"

Untuk menjawab kecenderungan ilmu-ilmu modern yang menciutkansegala sesuatu kepada hal-hal yang material, Michael Polanyimenawarkan sebuah alternatif pemahaman realitas. Menurut Polanyi, adahirarki Kenyataan. Suatu realitas dari tingkat yang lebih tinggi tidak dapatdireduksi pada tingkat yang lebih rendah. Misalnya, kesadaran tidak dapatdijelaskan dengan hukum-hukum fisika dan kimia yang terjadi pada otak.Pengetahuan menyeluruh tentang setiap bagian dari suatu Kenyataan,tidak dapat menjelaskan keseluruhan Kenyataan tersebut. Dalam cahayapemahaman Kenyataan seperti itu Polanyi membela adanya realitasmetafisis dan spiritual yang harus diakui bila martabat manusia ingindihormati

The Content of Lipids in Intramuscular Adipose as a Quality Determinant of Cattle Meat Product

Generally consumer taste for meat livestock products related to various aspects of the meat itself that iscommonly known such as, color, tenderness, flavor, hygiene and product information about the animalration that is free of antibiotics, hormones and other substances which interfere the health of consumers.This article aims to describe another aspect which supports the consumer\u27s taste that is lipids moleculescontent in intramuscular adipose tissue. The higher content of intramuscular lipids will further enhancethe consumer taste of this meat product. The methods to detect intramuscular fat content in meat cattleare enzymatic method. This evaluation of the development of intramuscular adipose tissue and the quantificationof the lipid content can be used as a parameter for determining the quality of meat products ofcattle in improving the organoleptic value of livestock meat products in the market

Konflik Sunni-Syiah Dan Dampaknya Terhadap Komunikasi Intra-religius Pada Komunitas Di Sampang-Madura

The conflict between the Muslim Sunni and Shia, hereafter Sunni-Shia conflict, occurred in Sampang on August 2012 was recognised as a group identity conflict.

Gangguan Akibat Kekurangan Iodium di Indonesia: Tinjauan Epidemiologis dan Kebijakan Kesehatan

IDD (Iodine Deficiency Disorders) is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation in the world. Nowadays, IDD still one of the most important public health problems in Indonesia. Up to now, Indonesia has not yet reached the target of IDD elimination as expected. National IDD Survey at 2003 and National Health Survey at 2007 show the achievement of IDD control program in Indonesia is still below the target of Universal Salt Idozation and Indonesia Health 2010 (RAN KPP GAKI strategy). Cross-sectoral commitment is very important for the elimination of IDD in the future. Clinicians and epidemiologist concern for IDD elimination in Indonesia is still low, so does the publications in the field of IDD from epidemiology and health policy perspective. It is expec-ted that this literature review can give broad description and epidemiological perspective for clinicians and public health experts

Recent Updates of Helicobacter Pylori Infection: From Epidemiology Study to Guideline Issues

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is still a big issue in gastroenterology field. Its relationship withgastrointestinal Malignancies now is widely known and the extra-gastrointestinal manifestation of this epidemicbring new problems. Although the prevalence is decreasing in developed countries, the resistance rate of somestrains to standard therapy needs more attention and new strategies. Recent epidemiology studies revealed that H. pylori infection is a specific population disease. Many trials and meta analyses revealed new evidences and horizons in the management of this infection. This review updated and highlighted pathophysiology, clinicalaspect, and new epidemiology data on H. pylori infection which is published in the last five years

The Influence of the Effectiveness of Accounting Learning Process on Students\u27 Learning Achievements

This study was aimed to figure out the influence of effectiveness degree of learning process on basic competences of accounting cycles at service companies on students\u27 learning achievements using mediating effects of self-efficacy and students\u27 learning motivation variables. This was exploratory research which was conducted from February to May 2017. The research population was class XII social students in Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta who had learned basic competences to practice accounting cycles at service companies based on 2013 Curriculum at the academic year of 2016/2017. The research samples were 238 students selected using stratified random sampling technique. Data gathering techniques employed questionnaires and documentations. The data then were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares SEM. The results of the research revealed that: 1) the effectiveness degree of accounting learning process had positive influence on students\u27 learning motivation; 2) the effectiveness degree of accounting learning process had positive and significant influence on students\u27 self-efficacy; 3) the effectiveness degree of accounting learning process had positive and significant influence on students\u27 learning achievements; 4) learning motivation had positive and significant influence on students\u27 learning achievements; 5) self-efficacy had positive and significant influence on students\u27 learning motivation; 6) self-efficacy had positive and significant influence on students\u27 learning achievements

Permasalahan Lanjut Usia di Daerah Perdesaan Terpencil

Indonesia is a country with the highest increase numbers of elderly in the world. In the range 35 years since 1990, the increase number of the elder- ly will be 414% that will set Indonesia in the fifth rank of the highest elderly in the world by the year of 2025. In most developing countries on the world, more than two third elderly live in remote and rural area. The aim of this study is to descript and discuss statistic data, health, health services, and programs for elderly in remote and rural Indonesia represented by Tanimbar Islands Maluku Province. The study use qualitative method by observation, participation, and interview with 30 elderly from 2 semiurban and 6 rural area in remote, rural, new developing administration district, and outer is lands of Republic Indonesia, Tanimbar Islands, Maluku Province in April to June 2010. We also interview and discuss elderly problems with elderly section program in health department West-Southeast Maluku region and el- derly program personnel in public health center. From the study, we found major health problems of the elderly in Tanimbar are genus artralgia, chronic gastritis, lower back pain, cataract, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Social and culture problems are urbanization which make elderly living alone. Integrated service section for elderly aren\u27t effective, minimal infor- mation, and the human resources aren\u27t optimal enough to support elderly needs. In the future, we must strengthen our health services system for elderly; expands the concern and networking with executive and legislative board; do education, service, and research innovations and strategies in the field of elderly health in remote rural Indonesia

Enzim Papain: Aspek Green Chemistry Pada Reaksi Knoevenagel

Green chemistry aspect is the chemical approach that has been studied in the past two decade. One of the principles is the development of green synthesis process that is friendly for the environment. This research showed that papain can be used as catalyst for Knoevenagel reaction with 3 kinds of substituted-benzaldehyde and malononitrile as substrates in aqueous medium. The best reaction condition with 80% yield was reached by utilizing of 25 mg papain/mmol substrate. Reaction was conducted at ambient temperature and pressure for 30 min. Products were as yellowish to yellow needle crystals and successfully characterized by melting point, UV-Vis, IR, mass spectra, and 13C & 1H-NMR, named as 2-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-malononitrile); 2-(3-hydroxybenzylidene)-malononitrile); and 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-malononitrile)
