Applications of signaling theory to contemporary human courtship
No full textSignaling theory, a popular approach in ethology and theoretical biology, can be employed to better understand social interaction in humans. Applied to contemporary human courtship, signaling theory can provide a framework for interpreting information transmitted at an initial encounter, signals conveyed at key relationship phases both within a romantic couple and to outside parties, and the regular communicative exchange within established relationships. This dissertation applies signaling theory to courtship in testing evolutionary hypotheses within three projects, each involving a different subject population situated at a salient courtship phase. The first project addresses the signaling value of women's faces absent any other information, which is analogous to a first meeting prior to the beginning of courtship. Testosterone-mediated facial features were positively associated with viewer perceptions of masculinity, positively associated with self-reports of sociosexual attitudes and behaviors, and negatively associated with viewer perceptions of attractiveness. The second project explores the signaling potential of engagement rings among a sample of Ohio newlyweds. Engagement ring cost was positively associated with male income and female income, and was negatively associated with female age, indicating that engagement ring cost may reflect both male and female mate value. The cost of engagement rings as a proportion of male salary was positively associated with courtship duration, suggesting that engagement ring cost may reinforce a signal of commitment already conveyed by a lengthy courtship. The third project concerns notions of spousal obligation on the Honduran island of Utila. This project used an experimental interview setting to elicit and measure audience effects. In response to key questions about characteristics sought in wives, men interviewed in the presence of their wives used more forceful rhetoric. Furthermore, men's responses more frequently emphasized women's morality whereas women's responses more frequently emphasized male resource control.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Bria Lane Dunha

KORELASI DAYA DUKUNG TANAH DASAR YANG DIDAPAT DARI HASIL UJI SONDIR, DCP DAN HAND PENETROMETER
No full textBeberapa jenis pengujian dilapangan yang dapat dilakukan dalam penyelidikan tanah. Sondir (Cone Penetration Test /CPT), DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer), Hand Penetrometer dan lain sebaginya. Selain pengujian dilapangan penyelidikan tanah juga dilakukan di laboratorium untuk mendapatkan beberapa data yang tidak tersedia pada penyeledikan dilapangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari persaman korelasi dari tiga jenis pengujian agar dapat memberikan efisiensi dalam hal survey teknis lapangan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Sekadau sebanyak 15 (lima belas) titik, masing-masing pengujian dilakukan berdekatan pada titik tertentu. Jenis tanah pada lokasi ini adalah tanah pasir dengan butiran halus. pengolahan data hasil pengujian menggunakan metode analisa statistik garis regresi sederhana dan berganda. Dari penelitian ini terdapat korelasi sederhana antar nilai DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) VS Hand Penetrometer dengan nilai R = 0.8932. Untuk Sondi (Cone Penetration Test) VS Hand Penetrometer nilai R = 0.6814. Untuk DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) VS Sondi (Cone Penetration Test) nilai R = 0.64854. Untuk korelasi bergandaSondir VS DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) dan Hand Penetrometer nilai R = 0.656. DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) VS Sondir (Cone Penetration test) dan Hand Penetrometer nilai R = 0.862. Hand Penetrometer VS DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) dan Sondir (Cone Penetration test) nilai R = 0.850
Strategi Pengelolaan Limbah Padat Infeksius di Rumah Sakit Ibu dan Anak Family Jakarta Utara
No full textThe hospital is a health service that produces various infectious wastes that can endanger the officers who handle the waste and visitors and the community around the hospital. The purpose of the study was to determine the performance of infectious solid waste management at the Family Mother and Child Hospital, to determine the internal and external factors in the management of infectious solid waste at the Family Mother and Child Hospital, and to obtain the formulation of infectious solid waste management strategies at the Mother's Hospital. and Child Family. This research was conducted at the Mother and Child Family Hospital, North Jakarta, related to infectious solid waste management strategies. Data collection methods used are interviews, focus group discussions (FGD) and questionnaires. To get the main priority strategy using the IFE- EFE- IF- SWOT matrix. Research Results Based on the analysis of the QSPM matrix, there were 6 strategies that could be prioritized based on the highest ranking, namely (1) Implementing infectious solid waste management systems and procedures in a professional manner, (2) Improving the quality and competence of officers to prevent environmental pollution, (3) Conducting periodic socialization/training to employees related to infectious solid waste management, (4) Preparing medical waste management plans in accordance with the standards of the Minister of Health, (5) Providing sanctions to employees who do not follow the rules in handling infectious solid waste, (6) Optimizing the budget in infectious solid waste management.
