    This bachelor thesis tries to explain policies which have been using by BP Indonesia's Security Department as part of multinational oil company to prevent BP Indonesia's Employees from being victimized. Preventing BP Indonesia's Employees from being victimized enable them to show their best and BP Indonesia can regain benefit. Researcher used qualitative method in order to get an in depth and precise data. In order to get an in depth and current analyzes, participant observation, secondary data search, interviews and assessments had been used by researcher. In depth and collaborative analyzed had been used by researcher according to criminological theories such as security management theory, situational crime prevention and social crime prevention theory. Findings suggest that BP Indonesia Security Department have done their job so well that they don't have to increase their security breach in order to prevent the worst. According to experiences and recommendations from BP Indonesia's employees, technical methods needs to be upgraded for the sake of employees comfort

    Cancer is a chronic disease that threaten human life. Cancer regarded as a stressor that can cause psychological problems. The most commonly psychological problem found on the cancer client are anxiety and depression which will affect on quality of life, impact on treatment performed, prolong hospitalization and have a negative effect on prognosis and the survival of client. This research aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and Logotherapy against anxiety and depression, relaxation ability and ability to interpret life. This study used quasi-experimental design pretest-posttest control group with a sample of 90 people cancer clients who were divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The results showed that anxiety decreased significantly p=0.00 (p<0.05; α=0.05); depression decreased significantly p=0.002 (p<0.05; α= 0.05); ability relaxation increased significantly p=0.00 (p<0.05; α=0.05); and the ability to make sense of life increased significantly p=0.01 (p<0.05; α=0.05) in the group receiving PMR and Logotherapy. PMR therapy and Logotherapy are recommended as advanced nursing therapy in treating cancer clients who experience anxiety and depression

    Objective: A recent systematic review determined that the physiological effects of concussion may persist beyond clinical recovery. Preclinical models suggest that ongoing physiological effects are accompanied by increased cerebral vulnerability that is associated with risk for subsequent, more severe injury. This study examined the association between signal alterations on diffusion tensor imaging following clinical recovery of sport-related concussion in athletes with and without a subsequent second concussion. Methods: Average mean diffusivity (MD) was calculated in a region of interest (ROI) in which concussed athletes (n = 82) showed significantly elevated MD acutely after injury (<48 h), at an asymptomatic time point, 7 days post-return to play (RTP), and 6 months relative to controls (n = 69). The relationship between MD in the identified ROI and likelihood of sustaining a subsequent concussion over a 1-year period was examined with a binary logistic regression (re-injured, yes/no). Results: Eleven of 82 concussed athletes (13.4%) sustained a second concussion within 12 months of initial injury. Mean MD at 7 days post-RTP was significantly higher in those athletes who went on to sustain a repeat concussion within 1 year of initial injury than those who did not (p = 0.048; d = 0.75). In this underpowered sample, the relationship between MD at 7 days post-RTP and likelihood of sustaining a secondary injury approached significance [χ2 (1) = 4.17, p = 0.057; B = 0.03, SE = 0.017; OR = 1.03, CI = 0.99, 1.07]. Conclusions: These preliminary findings raise the hypothesis that persistent signal abnormalities in diffusion imaging metrics at RTP following concussion may be predictive of a repeat concussion. This may reflect a window of cerebral vulnerability or increased susceptibility following concussion, though understanding the clinical significance of these findings requires further study

    Features of Muon Arrival Time Distributions of High Energy EAS at Large Distances From the Shower Axis

    In view of the current efforts to extend the KASCADE experiment (KASCADE-Grande) for observations of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) of primary energies up to 1 EeV, the features of muon arrival time distributions and their correlations with other observable EAS quantities have been scrutinised on basis of high-energy EAS, simulated with the Monte Carlo code CORSIKA and using in general the QGSJET model as generator. Methodically various correlations of adequately defined arrival time parameters with other EAS parameters have been investigated by invoking non-parametric methods for the analysis of multivariate distributions, studying the classification and misclassification probabilities of various observable sets. It turns out that adding the arrival time information and the multiplicity of muons spanning the observed time distributions has distinct effects improving the mass discrimination. A further outcome of the studies is the feature that for the considered ranges of primary energies and of distances from the shower axis the discrimination power of global arrival time distributions referring to the arrival time of the shower core is only marginally enhanced as compared to local distributions referring to the arrival of the locally first muon.Comment: 24 pages, Journal Physics G accepte

    A water turbine is a device used to convert the potential energy of water into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator. This test was carried out experimentally using a crooked blade type with six blades and the type of water turbine used was undershoot. Various type of blade materials are plastic, aluminum, and iron. As well as varying the opening of fluid flow, namely the valve opening of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.The results obtained indicate that variations in turbine blade material have effect on turbine power and turbine efficiency The highest turbine power and efficiency was obtained at 100% valve opening with load of 0.7 kg on plastic, iron and aluminum material. The highest turbine power is 1.1608 watt for the plastic blade, for aluminum blade is 1.2219 watt, for iron blade is 1.0997 watt. The highest efficiency obtained for plastic blades is 50.1360 %, for aluminum blades is 52.7748%, for iron blades is 47.4973 % A water turbine is a device used to convert the potential energy of water into mechanical energy.

    Head impact exposure in youth football has not been well-documented, despite children under the age of 14 accounting for 70% of all football players in the United States. The objective of this study was to quantify the head impact exposure of youth football players, age 9–12, for all practices and games over the course of single season. A total of 50 players (age = 11.0 ± 1.1 years) on three teams were equipped with helmet mounted accelerometer arrays, which monitored each impact players sustained during practices and games. During the season, 11,978 impacts were recorded for this age group. Players averaged 240 ± 147 impacts for the season with linear and rotational 95th percentile magnitudes of 43 ± 7 g and 2034 ± 361 rad/s(2). Overall, practice and game sessions involved similar impact frequencies and magnitudes. One of the three teams however, had substantially fewer impacts per practice and lower 95th percentile magnitudes in practices due to a concerted effort to limit contact in practices. The same team also participated in fewer practices, further reducing the number of impacts each player experienced in practice. Head impact exposures in games showed no statistical difference. While the acceleration magnitudes among 9–12 year old players tended to be lower than those reported for older players, some recorded high magnitude impacts were similar to those seen at the high school and college level. Head impact exposure in youth football may be appreciably reduced by limiting contact in practices. Further research is required to assess whether such a reduction in head impact exposure will result in a reduction in concussion incidence

    A new proton anisotropic-isotropic shift correlation experiment is described which operates with ultrafast MAS, resulting in good resolution of isotropic proton shifts in the detection dimension. The new experiment makes use of a recoupling sequence designed using symmetry principles which reintroduces the proton chemical shift anisotropy in the indirect dimension. The experiment has been used to measure the proton shift tensor parameters for the OH hydrogen-bonded protons in tyrosine.HCl and citric acid at Larmor frequencies of up to 850 MHz
