PELAYANAN SERENTAK PENGGUNAAN KONTRASEPSI DI PRAKTEK MANDIRI BIDAN R
No full textIndonesia's population growth rate increases by 1.49% per year and is a population problem. Through the BKKBN, the government is aggressively carrying out control efforts with the Family Planning (KB) program to reduce fertility rates. Unmet need is one of the obstacles to managing family planning programs in Indonesia that requires sustainable handling. Simultaneous family planning services is one of the efforts that can be done. The stages of implementing concurrent service activities using contraceptives include several methods with maximum results using MKJP and Non MKJP family planning activities that involve related parties and prioritize community participation. Therefore, further intervention activities for similar programs are expected to be carried out in the future, with a wider scope.Laju pertumbuhan penduduk Indonesia meningkat sebesar 1,49% per-tahun dan merupakan permasalahan kependudukan. Melalui BKKBN pemerintah gencar melakukan upaya pengendalian dengan program Keluarga Berencana (KB) untuk menekan angka fertilitas. Unmet need adalah salah satu hambatan pengelolaan program KB di Indonesia yang membutuhkan penanganan secara berkelanjutan. Pelayanan KB secara serentak merupakan salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan. Tahapan pelaksanaan kegiatan pelayanan serentak penggunaan kontrasepsi meliputi beberapa metode dengan hasil maksimal penggunaan KB MKJP dan Non MKJP yang melibatkan pihak terkait dan mengutamakan partisipasi masyarakat. Oleh sebab itu, kegiatan intervensi lanjutan terhadap program serupa diharapkan dapat dilakukan di masa yang akan datang, dengan lingkup yang lebih luas.
PENYULUHAN FISIOTERAPI TENTANG PENGENALAN KASUS LOW BACK PAIN PADA PENENUN DI PANDAI SIKEK
No full textLow Back Pain (LBP) is a very common health problem among the population and a leading cause of disability affecting work performance and well-being. LBP can be acute, subacute or chronic. LBP affects children to the elderly and is a common reason. The 2010 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) estimates that back pain is the 10 most common disease and causes of injury. DALY's (disability-adjusted life years).Manual handling and lifting work is the main cause of back pain. In addition, about 25% of work accidents also occur due to manual material handling work. Previously it was reported that 74% of spinal cord injuries were caused by lifting activities. (Tarwaka, 2004). According to the theory that Low Back Pain is caused by several factors, including; work factor, namely sitting for a long time and in static conditions will burden the lower spine and will cause a feeling of soreness and fatigue in the waist area (R. Aulia, 2012). Factors that can trigger the occurrence of Low Back Pain is the work factor which is the most dominant factor causing the occurrence of Low Back Pain. In workers, there are several main factors thought to play a role in the occurrence of Low Back Pain including physical stress, psychosocial stress, personal character and physical character.

Pleistocene terraces in the Hochrhein area : formation, age constraints and neotectonic implications
No full textPleistocene fluvial gravel terraces appear to be useful to decipher neotectonic movements. To achieve this, however, chronologic and sedimentologic data on the terraces are required. Thus, this thesis represents a multidisciplinary approach. After presenting methodological aspects of U/Th (Uranium-series disequilibrium) dating, compared to OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence), the ages obtained are used, together with sedimentological data, to constrain the formation processes and timing of the Late Pleistocene terraces in the Hochrhein area. Finally, the geometry of these terraces is interpreted in terms of neotectonics. Hitherto, dating coarse-grained sediment has proved often impossible due the lack of datable material, and developing new methods in this domain is thus of crucial importance. U/Th is a well established method, often used for speleothems and coral dating, and it is tested here on pedogenetic crusts growing within the Late Pleistocene gravels of the Hochrhein area. These results are compared to OSL ages from the same sampling sites. Our results show that this method has a development potential, but is highly dependant on a sufficient and stable Uranium content of the samples, which is partly controlled by bacterial activity. Comparisons with OSL ages highlight the fact that the event that is dated by mean of U/Th is the precipitation of the crust, not the deposition of the sediment. Sedimentological and morphological data show that the Late Pleistocene gravels (Lower Terrace) were deposited as a braided river, where flood events played a major shaping role. The gravels are arranged into terrace levels, where the highest level is an accumulation level, and the lower levels are erosion level with minor re-accumulation. The flood deposits are mostly conserved on top of the different terrace levels because the general incision regime prevented them from being reworked. OSL ages show that the main gravel accumulation occurred between 27 an 11 ka in the Hochrhein area, but minor re-accumulation occurred until historical times. The accumulation level was thus formed during the Younger Dryas, and the lower levels were formed from the Youger Dryas on, until historical times. These results are confirmed by radiocarbon ages from fossil trees and U/Th ages from speleothems. Terrace longitudinal profiles are used to assess neotectonic activity in the Hochrhein area. Four main groups of Pleistocene terrace exist in this area: the Earliest Pleistocene Higher Deckenschotter, the Early Pleistocene Lower Deckenschotter, the Middle-Late Pleistocene High Terrace and the Late Pleistocene Lower Terrace. The three older terrace groups do not show original surfaces anymore, so outcrop altitudes are used to build the longitudinal profi le. This
profi le shows that the gradient of the terraces increases with their age, and each of the terrace
groups show an increased gradient at the location where the profi le crosses the eastern main border
fault (MBF) of the Upper Rhine Graben (URG). The terraces converge, cross and fi nally continue
as basin fi lling. This suggests a relative uplift of the headwater area and extensional activity for
the MBF during Pleistocene. The Lower Terrace features still well preserved surfaces and these
are analysed with a high precision Digital Terrain Model (DTM). Using a high precision DTM
highlights the complex arrangement of sublevels and the irregularities of the surfaces, which are
mostly caused by sedimentary and erosive processes. NW of Basel in the URG, fi eld evidences

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
ATP synthase hexamer assemblies shape cristae of Toxoplasma mitochondria
No full textMitochondrial ATP synthase plays a key role in inducing membrane curvature to establish cristae. In Apicomplexa causing diseases such as malaria and toxoplasmosis, an unusual cristae morphology has been observed, but its structural basis is unknown. Here, we report that the apicomplexan ATP synthase assembles into cyclic hexamers, essential to shape their distinct cristae. Cryo-EM was used to determine the structure of the hexamer, which is held together by interactions between parasite-specific subunits in the lumenal region. Overall, we identified 17 apicomplexan-specific subunits, and a minimal and nuclear-encoded subunit-a. The hexamer consists of three dimers with an extensive dimer interface that includes bound cardiolipins and the inhibitor IF1. Cryo-ET and subtomogram averaging revealed that hexamers arrange into similar to 20-megadalton pentagonal pyramids in the curved apical membrane regions. Knockout of the linker protein ATPTG11 resulted in the loss of pentagonal pyramids with concomitant aberrantly shaped cristae. Together, this demonstrates that the unique macromolecular arrangement is critical for the maintenance of cristae morphology in Apicomplexa. Structural and functional analysis of mitochondria from the human parasite Toxoplasma gondii reveals that its ATP synthase assembles into cyclic hexamers, arranged together in a form of pentagonal pyramids required for maintenance of cristae morphology in Apicomplexa
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Rhinolophus maendeleo Kock, Csorba and Howell 2000
No full textRhinolophus cf. maendeleo Kock, Csorba and Howell 2000 Two specimens assigned to this recently described species were recorded from Mount Namuli in northern Mozambique. They all had a rounded connecting process, similar to R. clivosus, but the 1st upper premolar was small and situated in the toothrow (unlike R. clivosus). The skull was slender and narrow in shape with gracile zygomatic arches (and MW greater or equal to ZYW — see Table 2), undeveloped sagittal and lambdoid crests, a long rostrum with bulbous anterior narial inflation in relation to posterior inflations (giving concave rostral profile) as described by Kock et al. (2000); cranial measurements match closely the values for the holotype and paratype of this species recorded by these authors. However, slight differences between the Mount Namuli male (DM 10833) and the R. maendeleo holotype are present in baculum shape (not shown) and the presence of a bony bar closing the infraorbital foramen (open in holotype and paratype of R. maendeleo but only on the right hand side of one Mount Namuli specimen (DM10833) and on neither side in DM10839). These differences warrant further analyses to determine whether these individuals represent an undescribed species, preferably including molecular comparisons of the Mount Namuli specimens with the holotype and/or paratype. Specimens from Mount Gorongosa and Nyika Plateau of Malawi may also be referable to this species and should be examined (F. P. D. Cotterill, personal communication). Field measurements: FA (adult male) 47.5 (1); FA (adult female) 48.9 (1). Nose-leaf width was 8.7 for the male and 8.3 for the female.Published as part of Monadjem, Ara, Schoeman, M.

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
