Galeri Kain Bentenan Di Manado (Architextiles)

Kain Bentenan merupakan kain khas suku Minahasa yang pernah ditenun sejak abad ke 18. Seiring berjalannya waktu, keberadaan kain Tenun Bentenan mulai langka. Hingga awal abad ke 20, di daerah asalnya Kain Bentenan sudah hampir tidak bisa ditemukan lagi. Berangkat dari keprihatinan inilah, Galeri Kain Bentenan di Manado dihadirkan sebagai wadah untuk melestarikan kembali keberadaan Kain Bentenan sebagai kain khas Sulawesi Utara khususnya suku Minahasa. Upaya pelestarian dilakukan dengan menghadirkan Galeri yang bersifat informatif, dimana fungsi dari galeri ini bukan hanya sekedar ruang pamer melainkan adanya proses pembuatan Kain Bentenan berupa workshop dan berbagai fasilitas penunjang lainnya. Kegiatan perancangan ini menggunakan Tema Architextiles yaitu sebuah strategi desain yang menerapkan beberapa aspek tekstil dalam arsitektur antara lain : bagian, sifat, tekstur, dan material, yang diaplikasikan kedalam bentuk, ruang, tampilan maupun ide-ide arsitektural lainnya. Perancangan Galeri Kain Bentenan dengan mengusung tema diatas menghasilkan desain yang unik dimana bentukan massa bangunan dibuat saling mengikat berdasarkan perwujudan dari proses tenun Kain Bentenan yang ditenun dengan teknik double ikat. Sirkulasi ruang dalam memberikan kesan dinamis yang bersifat interaktif, hal ini diperoleh dari sifat daripada benang yang memiliki makna filosofis sebagai sebuah ruang yang mengalir.Dari segi tampilan bangunan, konsep selubung bangunan menggunakan konsep rajutan benang yang dirajut secara zigzag secara berulang-ulang dengan mempertimbangkan keseimbangan antara dinding dan kaca. Diharapkan dengan penggunaan strategi desain diatas, Galeri Kain Bentenan ini akan memiliki tampilan yang unik dan membawa sejumlah terobosan baru dalam dunia arsitektur

PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN TERHADAP DISIPLIN KERJA PEGAWAI NEGERI SIPIL PADA BADAN KEPEGAWAIAN DAERAH KABUPATEN KUTAI BARAT

The purpose of this research was to determine theeffect of Leadership style and leadership style democratic paternalistis to Work Discipline Civil Service Personnel Agency West Kutai District.Formulation of the problem as posed in this study is : “Is there a positive and significant effect between leadership style paternalistis (X1) and the democratic leadership style (X2) on employee discipline (Y), both partially and simultaneously”. Based on the analysis of the hypothesis that the first and second hypothesis presumed that paternalistic leadership style and leadership democratic equally positive and significant effect on the discipline of employees working at the Office of the Regional Employment Board of West Kutai Regency and the third hypothesis that paternalistic leadership style and leadership style equally democratic influence on the discipline of employees working in the Office of Regional Employment Board received as West Kutai together paternalistic leadership style variables and democratic leadership style has an influence on the discipline of employees working in the Office of the Regional Employment Agency West Kutai. The influence of these variables Analyses of test F, of F is equal to the value of 21,528 with a significance level of 0.000 (95% confidence level) and 3.29 F table then the hypothesis can be accepted because it fits the criteria of F >F. So, when seen from the significant value of 0.000 is less than α level of 5%. It can be concluded that the variables paternalistic leadership style and democratic leadership style significantly influence employee discipline employees in the Office of the Regional Employment Agency West Kutai. The contribution of the variables X1, X2 to Y, ie R = 0.757 (75.7%) and R Square of 0.574 (57.4%). This means that there are other factors beyond the study that also affect employee discipline employees in the Office of the Regional Employment Board of West Kutai Regency.T results for each variable are as follows : paternalistic leadership style variable was 3.374 with a significance value of 0.002 is smaller than 0.05, then the hypothesis is accepted, which means t count > t table so evident that paternalistic leadership style significantly influence employee discipline. Democratic leadership style variable was 6.527 with a significance value of 0.000 is smaller than 0.05 and t table 1.690, 6.527 which means that t > t table 1.690, then the hypothesis is accepted because according to criteria t count > t table, so it is evident that the style democratorships significant effect on employee discipline

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuate pulmonary inflammation and lung damage caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus in BALB/c mice

Background The highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus is one of the causative agents of acute lung injury (ALI) with high mortality rate. Studies on therapeutic administration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in ALI caused by the viral infection have been limited in number and have shown conflicting results. The aim of the present investigation is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of MSC administration in A/H5N1-caused ALI, using a mouse model. Methods MSCs were prepared from the bone marrow of 9 to 12 week-old BALB/c mice. An H5N1 virus of A/turkey/East Java/Av154/2013 was intranasally inoculated into BALB/c mice. On days 2, 4, and 6 after virus inoculation, MSCs were intravenously administered into the mice. To evaluate effects of the treatment, we examined for lung alveolar protein as an indicator for lung injury, PaO2/FiO2 ratio for lung functioning, and lung histopathology. Expressions of NF-κB, RAGE (transmembrane receptor for damage associated molecular patterns), TNFα, IL-1β, Sftpc (alveolar cell type II marker), and Aqp5+ (alveolar cell type I marker) were examined by immunohistochemistry. In addition, body weight, virus growth in lung and brain, and duration of survival were measured. Results The administration of MSCs lowered the level of lung damage in the virus-infected mice, as shown by measuring lung alveolar protein, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, and histopathological score. In the MSC-treated group, the expressions of NF-κB, RAGE, TNFα, and IL-1β were significantly suppressed in comparison with a mock-treated group, while those of Sftpc and Aqp5+ were enhanced. Body weight, virus growth, and survival period were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion The administration of MSCs prevented further lung injury and inflammation, and enhanced alveolar cell type II and I regeneration, while it did not significantly affect viral proliferation and mouse morbidity and mortality. The results suggested that MSC administration was a promissing strategy for treatment of acute lung injuries caused by the highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus, although further optimization and combination use of anti-viral drugs will be obviously required to achieve the goal of reducing mortality

Tunable Porous Organic Crystals: Structural Scope and Adsorption Properties of Nanoporous Steroidal Ureas

Previous work has shown that certain steroidal bis-(N-phenyl)ureas, derived from cholic acid, form crystals in the P61 space group with unusually wide unidimensional pores. A key feature of the nanoporous steroidal urea (NPSU) structure is that groups at either end of the steroid are directed into the channels and may in principle be altered without disturbing the crystal packing. Herein we report an expanded study of this system, which increases the structural variety of NPSUs and also examines their inclusion properties. Nineteen new NPSU crystal structures are described, to add to the six which were previously reported. The materials show wide variations in channel size, shape, and chemical nature. Minimum pore diameters vary from ∼0 up to 13.1 Å, while some of the interior surfaces are markedly corrugated. Several variants possess functional groups positioned in the channels with potential to interact with guest molecules. Inclusion studies were performed using a relatively accessible tris-(N-phenyl)urea. Solvent removal was possible without crystal degradation, and gas adsorption could be demonstrated. Organic molecules ranging from simple aromatics (e.g., aniline and chlorobenzene) to the much larger squalene (Mw = 411) could be adsorbed from the liquid state, while several dyes were taken up from solutions in ether. Some dyes gave dichroic complexes, implying alignment of the chromophores in the NPSU channels. Notably, these complexes were formed by direct adsorption rather than cocrystallization, emphasizing the unusually robust nature of these organic molecular hosts
