Anaerobic benzene degradation in culture and hydrocarbon degradation in the subsurface environment
No full textUnderstanding of microorganisms and pathways involved in anaerobic benzene degradation is limited. Stable isotope probing of DNA was used to identify key members of a previously characterized, sulfate-reducing benzene degrading consortium. DNA extracts of cultures incubated with [13C6]- or [12C6]benzene were separated into 13C- and 12C-labeled fractions by CsCl density gradient centrifugation. Sequencing and Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of the 16S rRNA gene identified TRF 270 (bp), a Desulfobacterium like phylotype, which was first to derive the bulk of the 13C label for DNA synthesis, and is thus likely involved in activation of benzene degradation.
To understand the pathway of anaerobic benzene metabolism, degradation and inhibition tests were used. Based on these tests toluene was eliminated, and benzoate was identified as a possible intermediate. Metabolites detected in cultures amended with [13C6]benzene or [13C6]phenol indicate that in this consortium there are 2 different pathways of benzoate formation, one forms universally labeled ([13C-UL]benzoate), and the other forms ring labeled benzoate. Pathway that forms [13C-UL]benzoate is dominant during benzene degradation in which the benzene ring is carboxylated by a carbon derived from another benzene ring. This pathway is different from the proposed pathway of benzene degradation via phenol, as the labeling pattern of 13C-labeled benzoate formed from [13C6]benzene or [13C6]phenol is not identical. In conclusion, a novel pathway that activates one benzene ring through its reaction with products of another benzene ring likely exists in this consortium.
Groundwater impacted by a manufacturing gas plant site was used for detection and quantification of metabolic intermediates of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and gene analogues encoding alpha subunit of benzylsuccinate synthase (bssA), as evidence for natural attenuation. Highest concentrations of metabolic intermediates of anaerobic naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene degradation were detected in an impacted monitoring well (MW)-24, near the source. Quantitative analysis of 16S rRNA gene indicated that bacterial population was enriched in the impacted wells, while bssA gene containing bacterial community was enriched in MW-24. Detection of not one, but two different indicators specific to the presence and activity of microorganisms provides strong evidence for in situ anaerobic microbial processes.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Amita R.

SELF-COMPASSION PASIEN DENGAN SAKIT HERNIA NUKLEUS PULPOSUS
Get PDFABSTRACT
Background: Self-compassion is a form of awareness of one's own situation and reducing and ending suffering within self. Someone with high self-compassion can be happier in life, including someone who is experiencing pain from Hernia Nucleus Pulposus (HNP). This study aims to determine the self-compassion of HNP patients who are undergoing medical rehabilitation therapy.
Methods: This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques using observations, interviews and the self-compassion scale from Neff (2003) to determine the level of self-compassion of the subject. The subjects were 3 people with an age range of 53 – 58 years. The study was conducted from March to May 2021. Researchers selected 3 HNP patients who were very routine and came on schedule for medical rehabilitation therapy.
Results: This study found 3 themes, namely (1) HNP patients know that their illness cannot be cured as before. (2) Patients routinely undergo physical therapy. (3) Patients believe that if they do treatment sincerely, they will feel calm and feel pain. The common humanity component is also a factor in being able to increase self-compassion in patients
Conclusion:
Patients who suffer from HNP are able to empathize with themselves, especially patients who are undergoing medical rehabilitation physical therapy.

Amita Baviskar. Uncivil City: Ecology, Equity and the Commons in Delhi. 2020, Sage and Yodapress.
No full textAmita Baviskar’s latest book titled Uncivil City: Ecology,
Equity and the Commons in Delhi provides an in-depth analysis of
exclusion of the Commons from the socio-economic and political spaces of
inarguably India’s most powerful city; Delhi. The book is divided into
three sections with eights chapters encompassing book’s themes. It
starts with setting the context by explaining the reasons for titling
the book as ‘Uncivil City’. Conceptualising Delhi as Uncivil expounds
the City’s changing spatial dynamics which the author has detailed by
analysing City’s social history by doing socio-historical analysis. She
also reminisces her early-life experiences with the City; what the City
was for the Commons in the past; how infrastructural development has
excluded the Commons; what the City’s formal politics and politicised
environment is doing to the Commons and what does future entail for
them
Facilitative Parenting Of Adolescent Self Disclosure : Pengasuhan Fasilitatif Orang Tua Terhadap Keterbukaan Diri Remaja
Get PDFThis study aims to find out empirically whether there is a relationship between facilitative parenting and adolescent self-disclosure. The hypothesis used is that there is a positive relationship between facilitative parenting and adolescent self-disclosure. Where the higher the level of concern, the higher the level of self-disclosure of adolescents when they are high and concern is low, the lower the self-disclosure of adolescents. The research subjects were students living with their parents, female and male and aged 15-18 years. The number of research subjects was 82 people, consisting of 35 women and 27 men. The adolescent self-disclosure scale that based on the theory of Buhrmester & Prager in Bauminger (2008). Parenting scale based on theory and Grolnick (2009). Method of data analysis using product moment correlation technique. The results of the analysis have a normal data distribution with a linear correlation. While the correlation coefficient between maternal parenting and adolescent self-disclosure to mothers is 0.494 and p = 0.000 (p <0.05) with an effective contribution of 0.244. While the father's self-disclosure analysis obtained the results of 0.727 and p = 0.000 (p <0.05) with an effective contribution of 0.52
Partition asymptotics; zeros of zeta functions; and Apéry-like numbers
Get PDFPART I
G. H. Hardy and S. Ramanujan established an asymptotic formula for the number of
unrestricted partitions of a positive integer, and claimed a similar asymptotic formula for
the number of partitions into perfect kth powers, which was later proved by E. M. Wright.
Recently, R. C. Vaughan provided a simpler asymptotic formula in the case k = 2. In the
first part of the thesis, we study the number of partitions into parts from a specific set
Ak(a0; b0) :={mk : m 2 N;m _ a0 (mod b0)}, for fixed positive integers k, a0; and b0. Using
the Hardy-Littlewood circle method, we give an asymptotic formula for the number of such partitions, thus generalizing the aforementioned results of Wright and Vaughan. We also consider the parity problem for such partitions and prove that the number of such partitions is even (odd) infinitely often, which generalizes O. Kolberg's theorem for the ordinary partition function. This material builds on the joint work with B. C. Berndt and A. Zaharescu.
PART II
The Riemann Hypothesis implies that the zeros of all the derivatives of the Riemann-_
function lie on the critical line. Results on the proportion of zeros on the critical line of derivatives of _(s) have been investigated before by B. Conrey, and I. Rezvyakova. The percentage of zeros of _(k)(s) on the critical line approaches 100% percent as k increases. The second part of this thesis builds on the joint work with S. Chaubey, N. Robles, and A. Zaharescu. We study the zeros of combinations of derivatives of _(s). Although such combinations do not always have all their zeros on the critical line, we show that the proportion of zeros on the critical line still tends to 1.
PART III
The third part of this thesis focuses on the work on Apéry-like numbers joint with Armin
Straub. In 1982, Gessel showed that the Apéry numbers associated to the irrationality of
_(3) satisfy Lucas congruences. Our main result is to prove corresponding congruences for all known sporadic Apéry-like sequences. In several cases, we are able to employ approaches due to McIntosh, Samol-van Straten and Rowland-Yassawi to establish these congruences. However, for the sequences labeled s18 and (_) we require a finer analysis. As an application, we investigate modulo which numbers these sequences are periodic. In particular, we show that the Almkvist-Zudilin numbers are periodic modulo 8, a special property which they share with the Apéry numbers. We also investigate primes which do not divide any term of a given Apéry -like sequence.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Amita Malik, accepted the attached license on 2017-07-13 at 10:11.The student, Amita Malik, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-07-13 at 10:40.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-07-13 at 13:58.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11450 on 2017-09-29 at 11:19:20Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-29T17:52:21Z (GMT).

PELATIHAN SELF-COMPASSION UNTUK MENGURANGI SELF-CRITICISM PADA MAHASISWA
Get PDFHigh self-criticism among students occurs due to increasing responsibilities, competitive demands in various aspects of life, and academic pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of self-compassion training on reducing self-criticism in students. The research used a group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects were ten students from the Islamic University of Riau. We used a self-criticism scale, The Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) developed by Gilbert (2004). To evaluate changes in self-criticism among students, we applied the Wilcoxon test. Statistical results were obtained using the Wilcoxon Normality Test, which yielded a value of 0.005<0.05. It can be concluded that there are significant differences between the pre-test and post-test results. Self-compassion training has an impact on reducing self-criticism in students. The influence of the training provided can be understood and implemented by participants, allowing them to gain better self-understanding
PELATIHAN COPING RELIGIUS DALAM MENURUNKAN KECEMASAN PENDERITA KISTA OVARIUM
No full textThe research conducted by researchers aimed to determine how effective religious coping training was in reducing anxiety in patients with ovarian cysts. The hypothesis in this study is that there are differences in anxiety in the treated group. This can be seen from the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Thus, the treated group was more able to reduce anxiety in patients with ovarian cysts. The research design carried out by the researcher was a one-group pretest and posttest design. The scale used in the study was the SAI (State Anxiety Disorder) scale. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test statistical technique. The results of the study proved that religious coping training was able to reduce anxiety in patients with ovarian cysts. The results showed that the pre-test and post-test sig was 0.043 and p <0.05. This result explains the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The changes in the participants' anxiety had given rise to changes before and after the training was given. The pre-test value with the follow-up value also has the same modifier, namely the sig value obtained is 0.043 and p <0.05. There are differences in research subjects' anxiety before being given training and after being given training given distance measurements for 2 weeks. The results of the hypothesis in this study were accepted, namely that there were differences in anxiety in the groups given treatment in this study.

The Impact of Social Media on Fear of Missing Out Among Z Generation: A Systematic Literature Review
Get PDFGeneration z is also known as the gadget generation. This generation lives side by side with the development of gadgets and social media. In this digital age, the use of social media is a way of life. Social media is unavoidable and is expected to have an effect on its users, the general picture of the current literature is missing. Therefore, the aim of this systematic is to summarize research on the impact of social media on fear of being out of date among Generation Z. Our systematic search on the Science and Scopus webs yielded 30 eligible articles. Gen z or generation z born between 1997 and 2003 (what), indicates that they will be between 18 and 24 in 2021. The use of social media and FOMO by generation z can be a negative and positive influence depending on their position and capacity. A negative example is that generation z is always desirable. They are shown that Generation Z is a tech-savvy generation. Based on these systematic results, it shows that the habit of using one of the social media has an impact on the fear of being left behind in generation z. The use of social media cannot be separated from the life of Generation Z. So FOMO is one of the characteristics of generation z that distinguishes it from other generations. Fomo is commonly used in marketing, industry, and lifestyle, where generation z is the main subject
Kualitas Pernikahan Pada Pasangan Muda di Pekanbaru: Penggunaan Media Sosial dan Kematangan Emosi
Get PDFMarriage is an interesting topic to discuss. Uniting two individuals who have different backgrounds, characteristics, and traits that are not the same is not easy in marriage. Divorce rates are always increasing every year making research on marriage is still growing. Today's young couples are young individuals who are active in using social media, so it is very possible that these activities affect household life, especially the marriage process. The purpose of this study was to see how the relationship between social media use and emotional maturity in young couples. This research is a survey research with a quantitative approach with a research scale distribution. The scale used is the scale of social media use and the emotional maturity scale. The research sample consisted of 266 respondents who were young married couples in Pekanbaru City. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between the use of social media and emotional maturity. The results of the analysis test using the Product Moment Technique obtained a coefficient value of -0.638 with a sig = 0.000 (p <0.05) so it can be concluded that there is a negative relationship between social media use and emotional maturity in young couples. It can be interpreted that high social media use is associated with low emotional maturity, and vice versa, low social media use is associated with high emotional maturity. Based on the results of the study, it was also found that the use of social media was high and emotional maturity was very low in the research subjects
