PERILAKU MASYARAKAT DALAM MEMANFAATKAN ALIRAN SUNGAI SEBAGAI SARANA MANDI CUCI DAN KAKUS (MCK) (STUDI KASUS DI DESA PASIR KECAMATAN TRIPE JAYA KABUPATEN GAYO LUES)
No full textABSTRAKSkripsi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui mengapa masyarakat di desa Pasir masih melakukan aktivitas MCK (Mandi Cuci Kakus) di sungai dan apa pengaruh dari pemanfaatan sungai sebagai sarana MCK (Mandi Cuci Kakus) bagi kesehatan masyarakat di desa Pasir. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori Tindakan dari Talcott Parsons yang menyatakan bahwa kebudayaan dengan segala wujudnya merupakan tindakan manusia yang berpola. Jenis penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan informan yang memenuhi kriteria subjek penelitian dan relevan dalam memberikan informasi yang dibutuhkan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, masyarakat di desa Pasir dalam melakukan aktivitas MCK sudah terbiasa, bahkan telah menjadi budaya keseharian masyarakat. Mayoritas dari masyarakat di desa ini tidak memiliki sarana MCK yang memadai, faktor ekonomi dan sosial-budaya sangat berperan penting dalam membentuk pola prilaku tersebut. Tradisi ini sudah membudaya bagi masyarakat setempat. Kedua, dampak dari pemanfaatan sungai sebagai sarana dalam melakukan aktivitas MCK sangat berpotensi untuk menyebabkan berbagai penyakit kulit seperti panu, kudis, gatal-gatal dan kutu air. Selain itu juga dapat menyebabkan diare bahkan penyakit menular seperti HIV aids yang dapat ditularkan memalui aliran sungai. Melalui penelitian ini penulis berharap pemerintah lebih memperhatikan sarana dan prasarana dalam mendukung pola hidup sehat serta perlu adanya usaha-usaha dari dinas kesehatan bekerjasama dengan instansi terkait untuk mengadakan penyuluhan terhadap pentingnya pola hidup sehat, bersih dan nyaman, dengan tetap mempertimbangkan kondisi dan kemampuan masyarakat yang ada. sehingga masyarakat yang ada di desa Pasir dapat memiliki kualitas hidup yang jauh lebih sehat. Penulis juga berharap adanya penelitian berikutnya agar informasi yang diperoleh jauh lebih akurat.Kata kunci :Perilaku, masyarakat, MCK di Sungai.ABSTRACTThis thesis aims to figure out why people in the village of Pasir still perform MCK (Bathing, Washing, and Serving as a lavatory) activities in the river and what effect of river utilization as an MCK for public health in Pasir village. This study used Talcott Parsons Action theory stating that culture with all its forms is a patterned human action. The type of this research is descriptive by using a qualitative approach, the data obtained through in-depth interviews with informants who meet the criteria for research subjects and relevant in providing information needed in this study. The results of this study showed that: First, people in the village of Sand get used to do the MCK activities, even several has become the people's daily culture. The majority of the individuals in this community do not have adequate toilet facilities. Economic and sociocultural factors play a significant role in shaping the behavioral patterns. This tradition has been entrenched for the local community. Second, the impact of the use of the river as a means of MCK activities has the potential to cause a variety of skin diseases such as tinea, scabies, hives and water fleas. It can also cause diarrhea and even infectious diseases such as HIV aids that can be transmitted through streams. Through this study, the author hopes the government pays more attention to facilities and infrastructure in support of healthy lifestyles and the need for efforts from the health department in cooperation with relevant agencies to conduct counseling on the importance of healthy, clean and comfortable lifestyle, by considering the condition and ability of the community. So that people in the village of Pasir can have a much healthier quality of life. The author also hopes for further research so that the information obtained is much more accurate.Keywords: Behavior, community, MCK on the river.Abstrak ini diterjemahkan oleh UPT Bahasa Unsyiah pada tanggal 18 Juli 2017Mahlil, S.

Iris Murdoch: Her Philosophy in Two Novels
No full textThe aim of the thesis is to examine two novels written by Iris Murdoch, The Flight from the Enchanter and A Severed Head, to see how the author put into practice her philosophical theories of literature as explained in several philosophical papers written prior to the novels. The thesis begins by outlining Murdoch's philosophical views and theory of literature, then proceeds to examine the two novels in order to find out how she applied her views to literature. The concluding chapter reviews some of the critics of Murdoch's novels, as well as updating her progress in applying her literary theory and philosopby to her more recent novels.Master of Arts (MA
Japanese Postwar Attitudes towards International Trade and Investment

TK is funded by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Numbers 20353659 and 23248024 Date of Acceptance: 27/11/2013Plant-parasitic nematodes cause considerable damage to global agriculture. The ability to parasitize plants is a derived character that appears to have independently emerged several times in the phylum Nematoda. Morphological convergence to feeding style has been observed, but whether this is emergent from molecular convergence is less obvious. To address this, we assess whether genomic signatures can be associated with plant parasitism by nematodes. In this review, we report genomic features and characteristics that appear to be common in plant-parasitic nematodes while absent or rare in animal parasites, predators or free-living species. Candidate horizontal acquisitions of parasitism genes have systematically been found in all plant-parasitic species investigated at the sequence level. Presence of peptides that mimic plant hormones also appears to be a trait of plant-parasitic species. Annotations of the few genomes of plant-parasitic nematodes available to date have revealed a set of apparently species-specific genes on every occasion. Effector genes, important for parasitism are frequently found among those species-specific genes, indicating poor overlap. Overall, nematodes appear to have developed convergent genomic solutions to adapt to plant parasitism.Peer reviewe
[[alternative]]Transgenesis of creatine kinase using cold-inducible and muscle-specific system to develop cold tolerance in zebrafish
No full text[[abstract]]The fish that lives in the tropical or subtropical area is adapted in the temperature of the warm environment and damaged by the low temperature in the winter. In order to confront the economic loss caused by the cold stress, the improvement of the cold tolerance of fish has been studied. We analyzed the biochemical function of the M3-CK sub-isozyme from carp (Cyprinus carpio, a eurythermic fish) and found out the M3-CK was stable and active in low temperature. The M3-CK is the key enzyme of energy metabolism of carp in low temperature.
We constructed a dual functional expression vector that constitutively expressed the carp MCK and a GFP marker gene. The CMV promoter drove the GFP marker and the CMV promoter, cold-inducible promoter and carp M3-CK promoter drove the carp MCK isozymes, M1-CK and M3-CK, respectively.
By transgenesis of the key enzyme, carps M3-CK, into the model fish, zebrafish (Danio rerio), we found that the transgenic fish can express M3-CK constitutively and enhance its cold tolerance from demonstrating a substantial improvement in swimming ability in 13℃. But transgenesis of the carps M1-CK into the model fish zebrafish (Danio rerio); we found that the transgenic fish don’t improve its cold tolerance in swimming ability in 13℃.
It is a proper target to help the tropical or subtropical fish confront the cold stress by maintaining the metabolic capability in low temperature. The zebrafish is a good model system for the transgenesis of the enzyme to improve the cold tolerance of tropical and subtropical fishes.
Statistically, the results in Table 7 revealed significant differences in the swimming velocity between the wild type and the transgenic zebrafish at the lower temperature. The cold-inducible promoter and M3CK promoter can synthesis carp M3-CK that increase swimming ability of transgenic zebrafish at the right moment. The results show that it is work for the assumption that M3-CK is able to improve the target fish’s cold tolerance ability. Consequently, this application of the zebrafish is a clue for the application of economic species of fish to confront the low temperature.
Reaction time and intelligence:Comparing associations based on two response modes
No full textPeople who score highly on intelligence tests also tend to have faster and less variable reaction times. Effect size estimates for the reaction time-intelligence association are larger in samples that are more representative of the population. However, such samples have often been tested on a reaction time device that requires reading a number and processing its association with a specific response location (Cox, Huppert, & Whichelow, 1993). Here, we use this device and another reaction time device (Dykiert et al., 2010) that is similar, except that the responses require less processing; subjects simply press a button that is adjacent to the stimulus light. We focus on the possibility that lights as stimuli require less higher-order cognitive engagement than numbers, and then test whether parameters from these two tasks are highly correlated and similarly associated with age and higher cognitive abilities. Both tasks measured simple and choice reaction times and their intra-individual variation across trials. The parameters of the two tasks were very highly correlated and parameters from both tasks were similarly associated with age, social factors, and differences in higher cognitive abilities. The respective choice reaction time parameters from either task accounted for much of the age- and higher cognitive ability-associations of the other task's parameters. These findings are important in establishing that the effect sizes of higher cognitive ability associations with processing speed measures may be found when the processing demands are minimal.(C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Colonization and Madness: Involuntary Psychiatric Commitment Law and Policy Frameworks as Applied to American Indians
No full textabstract: This dissertation project is a legal and policy analysis of California's involuntary psychiatric commitment laws and policy as applied to American Indians (AI). Mental health-based civil commitment and conservatorships constitute some of the most severe intrusions into personal liberties and freedom outside of the criminal justice system. In the context of AI peoples and tribal Nations, however, these intrusions implicate not only individual freedoms and well-being but also larger notions of tribal sovereignty, self-determination, culture, and the dialectic relationship between individual identity and community knowledge related to definitions of health, illness and the social meaning of difference. Yet, in the context of involuntary psychiatric commitments, the law reflects a failure to understand this relationship, alternating between strategic use of the sovereignty doctrine to deny access to services or, alternatively, wholly absenting issues of sovereignty and Indigenous worldviews from legal discourse. This project explores the nuanced ways in which these issues are weaved into the fabric of mental health law and policy and how they function to codify, enact and maintain colonization for AI peoples and Nations.Dissertation/ThesisPh.D. Justice Studies 201
