This study uses qualitative research, research design using qualitative descriptive method. Implementation of this research is in the TK Negeri Pembina Surakarta. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. Source of the data obtained through interviews and documentation. As a guest speaker in this study was the Principal Teachers and Parents / guardians of students. The validity of the data used in this research is triangulation and source triangulation method. Data were analyzed using interactive analysis. Based on the results of data analysis and discussion we concluded that: 1) The management of education-based character of Javanese culture in TK Negeri Pembina Surakarta carried out by adjusting the curriculum and educational materials charged Javanese culture integrates the material elements of the arts, languages and social systems of Javanese culture, delivering materials charged the value of honesty, humility, discipline, courtesy, cooperation, caring, and responsibility; and deliver material which imparts the principles of respect, harmony, character wise and honest, introspective, low self-esteem, as well as upload form-ungguh and good manners as a form of character Java. 2) The supporting factors in the management of Javanese culture-based character education is education offices and local governments, provision of facilities, committee and parents of students, school management, as well as students coming from the Java community. Factors inhibiting Javanese culture-based education is the lack of standard guidelines for the implementation of educational programs that charged Javanese culture, interests learners to Javanese culture, as well as operate and circumstances on ignorance educators learn less supportive media to use

Analisis Spatial Behavior ‘Foodies' Dalam Memilih Restoran Di Daerah Istimewa YOGYAKARTA Menggunakan Geo-location Pada Jejaring Sosial Twitter

Berdasarkan tren kegiatan makan di luar dan fenomena penggunaan sosial media, penelitian ini memiliki tujuan diantaranya, memetakan pola persebaran lokasi restoran yang dikunjungi pengunjung berdasarkan data geo-location tweets pada Twitter, memetakan perilaku spasial foodie dalam kegiatan makan di luar, dan menganalisa karakteristik Foodie dalam memilih restoran. Data diperoleh melalui Twitter dan hasil kuisioner online. Data diolah menggunakan metode pemetaan uji komparatif uji-t. Hasil memperlihatkan bahwa, terdapat 4 (empat) klaster utama yang menjadi pusat tweet kegiatan makan di luar di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Secara umum Foodie di DIY cenderung memilih restoran yang menawarkan cita rasa dan menyukai makanan-makanan etnis tertentu. Dalam pergerakannya, rata-rata foodie mampu menempuh jarak sejauh 6,53km untuk menuju ke restoran yang ingin mereka kunjungi dengan kecenderungan pergerakan menuju ke wilayah Kawasan Perkotaan Yogyakarta

Peran Pemangku Kepentingan dalam Realisasi Konsep Waterfront City di Kota Palembang

Penataan ruang khususnya di tepian Sungai Musi, menjadi hal penting bagi pemerintah Kota Palembang. Hal ini terlihat dari isi dokumen Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah tahun 2012 – 2032 Kota Palembang mengenai konsep penataan ruang waterfront city. Penataan ruang ini menjadikan kawasan Sungai Musi sebagai tempat rekreasi, pelabuhan, permukiman, komersial, dan restoran. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka tujuan penelitian untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan konsep waterfront city di Kota Palembang dan memetakan peran stakeholder (masyarakat, swasta, dan pemerintah) dalam konsep waterfront city melalui prinsip menurut Nicholas Falk (2002).Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif – kuantitatif, yaitu dengan mendeskripsikan kondisi lapangan serta melakukan perhitungan prinsip-prinsip berdasarkan konsep waterfront city menurut Nicholas Falk (2002). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemerintah telah melaksanakan beberapa program dalam penataan kawasan tepian Sungai Musi yang meliputi penyediaan sarana dan prasarana kota, ruang publik, Perumahan, wc komunal, dan IPAL. Adapun juga peran pemangku kepentingan dihitung dengan prinsip waterfront dengan hasil pihak pemerintah yang lebih merealisasikan konsep waterfront dibandingkan dengan pihak masyarakat dan swasta

To Assess Sleep Quality among Pakistani Junior Physicians (House Officers): A Cross‑sectional Study

Background: Sleep deprivation among junior physicians (house officers) is of growing concern. In developed countries, duty hours are now mandated, but in developing countries, junior physicians are highly susceptible to develop sleep impairment due to long working hours, on‑call duties and shift work schedule. Aim: We undertook the study to assess sleep quality among Pakistani junior physicians. Subjects and Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted at private and public hospitals in Karachi, Pakistan, from June 2012 to January 2013. The study population comprised of junior doctors (house physicians and house surgeons). A consecutive sample of 350 physicians was drawn from the above‑mentioned study setting. The subject underwent two validated self‑administered questionnaires, that is, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Results: A total of 334 physicians completely filled out the questionnaire with a response rate of 95.4% (334/350). Of 334 physicians, 36.8% (123/334) were classified as “poor sleepers” (global PSQI score > 5). Poor sleep quality was associated with female gender (P = 0.01), excessive daytime sleepiness (P < 0.01), lower total sleep time (P < 0.001), increased sleep onset latency (P < 0.001), and increased frequency of sleep disturbances (P < 0.001). Abnormal ESS scores (ESS > 10) were more prevalent among poor sleepers (P < 0.01) signifying increased level of daytime hypersomnolence.Conclusion: Sleep quality among Pakistani junior physicians is significantly poor. Efforts must be directed towards proper sleep hygiene education. Regulations regarding duty hour limitations need to be considered.Keywords: Epworth sleepiness scale, Excessive daytime sleepiness, House officers, Junior physicians, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, Poor sleepers, Sleep disturbances, Sleep qualit

Dynamic Heterogeneity and DNA Methylation in Embryonic Stem Cells

Cell populations can be strikingly heterogeneous, composed of multiple cellular states, each exhibiting stochastic noise in its gene expression. A major challenge is to disentangle these two types of variability and to understand the dynamic processes and mechanisms that control them. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) provide an ideal model system to address this issue because they exhibit heterogeneous and dynamic expression of functionally important regulatory factors. We analyzed gene expression in individual ESCs using single-molecule RNA-FISH and quantitative time-lapse movies. These data discriminated stochastic switching between two coherent (correlated) gene expression states and burst-like transcriptional noise. We further showed that the “2i” signaling pathway inhibitors modulate both types of variation. Finally, we found that DNA methylation plays a key role in maintaining these metastable states. Together, these results show how ESC gene expression states and dynamics arise from a combination of intrinsic noise, coherent cellular states, and epigenetic regulation
