KOMBINASI LANTUNAN ASMAUL HUSNA DAN SLOW DEEP BREATHING DALAM MENURUNKAN TINGKAT KECEMASAN PASIEN HEMODIALISIS

Background:Patients undergoing hemodialysis can experience anxiety due to fear or worry about the disease they are suffering from. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the combination of chanting asmaul husna and slowing deep breathing in reducing the anxiety level of hemodialysis patients. Research method:This research uses a case study approach, namely research that is focused on a case to be observed and analyzed carefully until it is finished. The case study was conducted when the author was practicing medical surgical nursing in the Hemodialysis Room of the Muhammadiyah University General Hospital in Malang. The author conducted a case study from July 17 2023 to July 22 2023 which was used from data collection or assessment to evaluation of 3 patients who had the same characteristics. Results:The results of the intervention for 3 patients showed that blood pressure had decreased considerably, pulse frequency had decreased sufficiently, sleep patterns had improved sufficiently, and verbalization of worries due to their condition had decreased considerably after being given the intervention. Conclusion:The combination of Asmaul Husna chanting and slow deep breathing is effective in reducing the anxiety level of hemodialysis patients. This combination intervention can be an easy, practical, economical non-pharmacological alternative that can be done anywhere to reduce the anxiety level of hemodialysis patients

On a selection principle for multivalued semiclassical flows

We study the semiclassical behaviour of solutions of a Schr ̈odinger equation with a scalar po- tential displaying a conical singularity. When a pure state interacts strongly with the singularity of the flow, there are several possible classical evolutions, and it is not known whether the semiclassical limit cor- responds to one of them. Based on recent results, we propose that one of the classical evolutions captures the semiclassical dynamics; moreover, we propose a selection principle for the straightforward calculation of the regularized semiclassical asymptotics. We proceed to investigate numerically the validity of the proposed scheme, by employing a solver based on a posteriori error control for the Schr ̈odinger equation. Thus, for the problems we study, we generate rigorous upper bounds for the error in our asymptotic approximation. For 1-dimensional problems without interference, we obtain compelling agreement between the regularized asymptotics and the full solution. In problems with interference, there is a quantum effect that seems to survive in the classical limit. We discuss the scope of applicability of the proposed regularization approach, and formulate a precise conjecture

Trade and Growth under Limited Liberalization, The Case of Belarus

This paper studies the connection between trade and growth in the context of a partial and inconsistent liberalization process in a specific Eastern European country in transition towards market economy, namely, the Republic of Belarus. The analysis of the country trade patterns during the USSR period and the years since independence revealed that unlike its close neighbors (the Baltic States and Poland) Belarus did not succeed in changing the commodity or the geographical structure of its trade. It is almost a good representation of reality to say that Belarus trades with Russia. The assessment of the rationale for the closer integration with Russia and the impact of this process on Belarus growth led us to the conclusion that the integration in the form of a non-exclusive Free Trade Area and within the framework of a wider set of international connections rather than the move towards a Customs Union (and a Union State) with Russia would be a more optimal policy for Belarus. This conclusion is supported by the results of country-specific growth regressions and of a counterfactual "free trade experiment" via a small CGE modelBelarus transition trade liberalization

Exploring the dark accelerator HESS J1745-303 with Fermi Large Area Telescope

We present a detailed analysis of the gamma-ray emission from HESS J1745-303 with the data obtained by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the first ~29 months observation.The source can be clearly detected at the level of ~18-sigma and ~6-sigma in 1-20 GeV and 10-20 GeV respectively. Different from the results obtained by the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory, we do not find any evidence of variability. Most of emission in 10-20 GeV is found to coincide with the region C of HESS J1745-303. A simple power-law is sufficient to describe the GeV spectrum with a photon index of ~2.6. The power-law spectrum inferred in the GeV regime can be connected to that of a particular spatial component of HESS J1745-303 in 1-10 TeV without any spectral break. These properties impose independent constraints for understanding the nature of this "dark particle accelerator".Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in Ap

Radio QPO in the γ{\gamma}-ray-loud X-ray binary LS I +61∘{^\circ}303

LS I +61${^\circ}$303 is a $\gamma$-ray emitting X-ray binary with periodic radio outbursts with time scales of one month. Previous observations have revealed microflares superimposed on these large outbursts with periods ranging from a few minutes to hours. This makes LS I +61${^\circ}$303, along with Cyg X-1, the only TeV emitting X-ray binary exhibiting radio microflares. To further investigate these microflaring activity in LS I +61${^\circ}$303 we observed the source with the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope at 4.85, 8.35, and 10.45 GHz and performed timing analysis on the obtained data. Radio oscillations of 15 hours time scales are detected at all three frequencies. We also compare the spectral index evolution of radio data to that of the photon index of GeV data observed by Fermi-LAT. We conclude that the observed QPO could result from multiple shocks in a jet.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA

Long Term X-ray Monitoring Of The TeV Binary LS I +61 303 with RXTE

We report on the results of a long term X-ray monitoring campaign of the galactic binary LS I +61 303 performed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. This dataset consists of 1 ks pointings taken every other day between 2007 August 28 until 2008 February 2. The observations covered six full cycles of the 26.496 day binary period and constitute the largest continuous X-ray monitoring dataset on LS I +61 303 to date with this sensitivity. There is no statistically strong detection of modulation of flux or photon index with orbital phase; however, we do find a strong correlation between flux and photon index, with the spectrum becoming harder at higher fluxes. The dataset contains three large flaring episodes, the largest of these reaching a flux level of 7.2 (+0.1,-0.2)*10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the 3-10 keV band, which is a factor of three times larger than flux levels typically seen in the system. Analysis of these flares shows the X-ray emission from LS I +61 303 changing by up to a factor of six over timescales of several hundred seconds as well as doubling times as fast as 2 seconds. This is the fastest variability ever observed from LS I +61 303 at this wavelength and places constraints on the size of the X-ray emitting region.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures, 2 tables.

Review on the multiwavelength emission of the gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303

Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object that produce emission from radio to very high energy gamma-rays. LS I +61 303 is one of the only six gamma-ray binaries discovered so far. It is thought that gamma-ray binaries contain a young highly rotating neutron star as compact object, and the emission is produced by the interaction between its relativistic pulsar wind and the stellar wind, However, in the case of LS I +61 303 a microquasar scenario is still considered and results pointing to oppose directions have been published during the last decades. Here we provide a review about the state of the art of LS I +61 303, summarizing the observed emission from radio to very high energy gamma-rays along all these years, and we discuss the proposed scenarios that can explain such emission.Comment: 9 pages to be published in the proceedings of XII Multifrequency Behaviour of High Energy Cosmic Sources Workshop, Palermo (Italy), PoS(MULTIF2017)04
