Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue in Adolescents with Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy

Sleep disturbances and fatigue are frequently complained by adolescents with cancer. These problems will lead to a variety of changes that may affect adolescents’ development. However, there is very limited data concerning adolescents with cancer in Indonesia. The research aims to explore sleep disturbances and fatigue in adolescents with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. The research applies a qualitative design with phenomenology approach. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with seven adolescents with cancer in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi. The interviews involved open questions on seven aspects, consisting of level of fatigue, responses to psychological drives, sleep disturbances, sleep disruption due to illness and chemotherapy, disruptions in some aspects of daily life, responses to problematic situations, and general perspective on life. Participants stated that chemotherapy induced sleep disturbances and fatigue, and this situation greatly influenced their overall quality of life. These problems are interrelated to each other and may affect the success of chemotherapy program. In terms of nursing, this research also shows the importance of developing a more effective system for managing sleep disturbances and fatigue during chemotherapy program

Fluctuation-induced Kerr Effect in Chiral Smectic-a Liquid Crystal Phase

FLUCTUATION-INDUCED KERR EFFECT IN CHIRAL SMECTIC-A LIQUID CRYSTAL PHASE. The second-order electrooptic responses under large orientational fluctuations in a chiral smectic-A liquid crystal phase has been studied theoretically. The formula for analyzing the frequency dispersion of Kerr effect considering the fluctuations has been derived. The possibility of the nonlinear electrooptic response observing the soft mode condensation inducing the smectic-Cα* phase in the smectic-A phase by using the fluctuation-induced Kerr effect has been explored

Legal institutions known as Customary Law are generally institutions required to meet the needs of people who are still antiquated, so in order to meet modern society need, the institution of the sale and purchase of land rights for example, undergoes modernization and adjustment, without changing the essence as legal act of buying and selling land rights to the payment of the price in cash, and the nature and character as a real deeds and clear. A change which aims to improve the quality of evidence in legal actions carried out according to customary law public limited personal and territorial scope, the seller itself simply made the deed and is known by the Village Head. Average selling rights to land according to Regulation No. 24 of 1997 shall be evidenced by a deed made by a PPAT. Changes in this procedure does not negate the provisions of customary law governing the institution in terms of material and selling land rights. But people still buy and sell land rights under hand. One example of the results of the study authors found cases of buying and selling land rights conducted under the hand of the study sites namely residential areas in the village area Madyopuro Kedungkandang subdistrict, Malang. Sale and purchase of land rights are carried out under the hand has problems, especially for buyers who will make the process to change the name of the certificate to be registered to the Land Office of Malang. Therefore, if the sale and purchase of land rights is conducted under the hand, it can not be registered at the Land Office of Malang to be processed to change the name in the certificate. Research conducted in this thesis is an empirical study using sociological juridical approach. Based on these results above regarding legal protection for the buyer to do a sale and purchase of land rights under hand it can be concluded (1) the buyer does not get the legal protection of land he had bought; (2) the buyer does not obtain legal certainty on the land he had bought; (3) the buyer does not get strong evidence right on land bought. This of course would be detrimental to the buyer who purchases land rights committed under hand. This event is expected to bring to the community, especially for the buyers when buying and selling land rights should be conducted in the presence of PPAT so get protection and legal certainty of land bought

Studi Mekanisme Kegagalan Las pada Riser Wall Tube Nomor 2 ASTM A210 Grade A-1 pada Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap Unit 2 PT X

Riser wall tube merupakan salah satu bagian yang sangat penting pada boiler di PLTU PT X dimana fungsinya adalah menyalurkan uap dari furnace menuju steamdrum. Kasus yang didapatkan pada boiler ini adalah bocornya riser wall tube nomor dua pada saat proses sedang berjalan. Untuk mengetahui penyebab bocornya tube tersebut dan mencegah terjadinya kasus yang sama, maka analisa kegagalan terhadap riser wall tube tersebut perlu dilakukan. Pada penelitian ini dibuat spesimen pembanding sebagai acuan. Beberapa pengujian seperti pengujian liquid dye penetrant, pengujian tarik dilakukan pada spesimen las pembanding serta pengujian metalografi dan pengujian kekerasan dilakukan pada kedua spesimen juga dengan tambahan pengujian spektrometri, pengujian SEM dan pengujian XRD untuk spesimen yang mengalami kegagalan. Spesimen las pembanding dibuat sesuai dengan WPS yang ada. Dari hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan terdapat perbedaan pada daerah las di kedua spesimen. Keduanya memiliki struktur mikro dan nilai kekerasan yang berbeda. Pengujian SEM pada spesimen las yang mengalami kegagalan menunjukkan adanya porositas dan hasil pengujian XRD-nya menunjukkan adanya senyawa korosi. Porositas, korosi, serta hasil las yang tidak memenuhi standar menyebabkan kualitas las menjadi tidak maksimal
