Time cost model for water related projects

Planning is one of the elements of management, next to organizing, motivating and control. It draws attention to the determinants and characteristics of the planning part and its particular importance in the project management process. Assessing the accuracy of the project timeline should be considered an essential part during planning stage. Neglecting to estimate timeline accuracy may lead to wrong decisions on acquisition of cost assessment and exposed to unforeseen events, risks, and deviations. Thus, the study was conducted to develop and evaluate new time cost relationship model based on previous 5 years projects under Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (JPS). To attempt this study, 47 projects under JPS Johor had been selected for evaluation and comparison. The data gathered through objective were measured and translated into table and scatter graph. The model was developed in line with the time cost model developed by Bromilow in 1980 where the predictive efficacy of a model measured in its coefficient determination of R2 . The R2 value indicated quite relevant as the study registered R2 value more than 0.7. The study further revealed that construction size measured by the cost has a far reaching effect on the time of completion indicated by the R2 value. Respondents with vast experiences have been interviewed to gather all data and information on disparity, similarity and effectiveness of current model practiced by their organizations. The data was tabulated into graph to acquire relevant information pertaining model of current practice in determining various project timeline and the effectiveness of model used in different organization. However, the others industry players are not practicing this model in their organizations as the other variables that they believed are important were keeping constants. The prediction efficacy of the model could be improved by incorporating other significant variables influencing construction durations. The results will be benefited as another comparison or assessment mechanism in getting comprehensive timeline during feasibility study. Findings of the study are expected to aid inputs to JPS in the direction to revise current theories which take place in 2020

Pendidikan Multikulturalisme

The slogan of Indonesia, Bhineka Tunggal Ika, should involve the concept and the implementation of diversity and mutlicultualisme to strengthen the unity of Indonesia people. In fact, there are still found many conflicts in Indonesia caused by the different religiouns and culture among Indonesian people and it will cause the obstacle to reach the unity in Indonesia. The different religioun and culture has not given any positif impact to Indonesia. Unfortunely, it causes some conflicts, misunderstandings, and fightings in Indonesia. To minimize it, the schools should teach the value of togetherness and tolerancy in adjusting and implementing the diversity. This kind of education can be taught by using the concept of multiculturalism education. As the representation of Indonesian diversity, it is an appropriate decision to have Kalimantan Timus as the subject of this multiculturalism research

Hyaluronatelyase production by Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from patients and carriers

Hyaluronatelyase produced by various microorganisms are capable of degrading hyaluronic acid in connective tissues and initiating the spread of infection by opening an access for the pathogen into host tissues. The present study attempts to determine the distribution of hyaluronatelyase-producing Streptococcus pneumoniae among invasive, non invasive and carriage isolates, and correlate it with the clinical sources, year of isolation, colonial morphology and their serotypes. A total of 100 isolates from various clinical samples were selected and screened for hyaluronatelyase production and presence of the encoding SpnHyl gene. All isolates possessed SpnHyl gene. Ninety-six isolates including 34 carriage isolates were positive for production of hyaluronatelyase. Four hyaluronatelyase-negative isolates were from blood (2 isolates) and sputum (2 isolates). No significant association was detected among hyaluronatelyase production and bacterial characteristics except for colonial morphology (p = 0.040). High percentages of hyaluronatelyase production in these isolates suggest their possible role as human pathogens

HUBUNGAN RED BLOOD CELL DISTRIBUTION (RDW) DENGAN NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH STROKE SCALE (NIHSS) PADA PASIEN STROKE ISKEMIK AKUT YANG DIRAWAT DI UNIT STROKE RSUP DR. SARDJITO

Latar Belakang: Stroke iskemik menyebabkan terjadinya inflamasi sel. Sitokin inflamasi menyebabkan peningkatan Red-Blood-Cell Distribution Width (RDW) dan mencegah maturasi sel darah merah. Pemeriksaan RDW rutin dan murah dikerjakan, sehingga diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai prediksi keparahan klinis pada pasien stroke. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan RDW terhadap skor National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) pasien stroke iskemik akut di Unit Stroke Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP) Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta. Metode Penelitian: Studi dengan rancangan potong lintang. Subjek penelitian adalah pasien stroke iskemik yang dirawat di Unit Stroke RSUP Dr. Sardjito periode Januari 2014 hingga Desember 2015. Diagnosis stroke iskemik akut ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, dan pemeriksaan Computed Tomography (CT)-scan kepala. Data NIHSS dan RDW diambil saat admisi dan diuji korelasi dengan tes Pearson. Nilai p<0,05 dianggap signifikan secara statistik. Hasil: Sebanyak 51 orang subjek dimasukkan dalam penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa RDW serum berkorelasi terhadap NIHSS (r= 0,296; p=0,035).Simpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif antara kadar RDW dengan nilai NIHSS pada penderita stroke iskemik akut dengan kekuatan korelasi rendah, sehingga semakin tinggi kadar RDW, maka semakin tinggi nilai NIHSS. Kata Kunci: RDW, Stroke Iskemik Akut, Keparahan, NIHS

Integrasi Kecerdasan Holistik RASULULLAH SAW Untuk Generasi Muda Berkarakter di Pendidikan Era Industri 4.0

ABSTRAKIntegrasi adalah penggabungan suatu hal agar menjadi satu kesatuan yang utuh dalam satu tujuan. Pada Globalisasi saat ini, pengembangan teknologi dan era revolusi industry 4.0, sebuah era baru yang menekankan pada pola digital economy,artificial intelligence (kecerdasan buatan), big data, robotic. Dimana era 4.0 merupakan fenomena disruptive innovation. Istilah disruptive innovation dicetuskan pertama kali oleh Clayton M. Christensen dan Joseph Bower; inovasi yang membantu menciptakan pasar baru yang mengubah konsep pekerjaan, struktur pekerjaan, dan kompetensi yang dibutuhkan dunia pekerjaan. Era revolusi industri 4.0 juga mengubah cara pandang tentang pendidikan. Perubahan yang dilakukan tidak hanya sekedar cara mengajar, tetapi jauh lebih esensial, yakni perubahan cara pandang terhadap konsep pendidikan itu sendiri. Pendidikan karakter bukan hal yang baru di Indonesia. Tokoh-tokoh pendidik Indonesia prakemerdekaan, seperti Kartini, Ki Hajar Dewantara, Soekarno Hatta, Moh Natsir sudah memulai apa yang dinamakan pendidikan karakter sebagai semangat pembentukan kepribadian dan identitas bangsa sesuai konteks dan situasi yang terjadi saat itu. Membangun dan mencetak karakter merupakan keprihatinan pokok para tokoh tersebut. Mereka menggagas sebuah bangsa yang memiliki sebuah identitas tersendiri. Ide dan gagasan itu mulai dari hasil pengembaraan dan perantauan mental para pemikir dan cendikiawan. Dari ide dan gagasan itu, muncullah semangat karakter kebangsaan yang harus diperjuangkan dengan perjuangan tanpa akhir sehingga muncullah Negara Indonesia saat ini. Ki Hajar Dewantara misalnya, telah mengajarkan pendidikan karakter melalui praktekpendidikan yang mengusung kompetensi alam murid, bukan dengan perintah paksaan, tetapi dengan tuntunan. Cara mendidik seperti ini lebih dikenal dengan pendekatan among, yang lebih menyentuh pada tataran etika dan perilaku yang tidak terlepas dengan karakter seseorang. Membangun karakter dan watak bangsa melalui pendidikan, mutlak dibutuhkan. Mulai diri sendiri, lingkungan rumah, sekolah, dan masyarakat dengan meneladani para tokoh tersebut

Inhibitory activity of several extract of Piper betle Leaf against S. aureus

A high number of infections from year to year require infectious diseases to get serious attention. The antimicrobial compound exploration must be continued to anticipate the development of infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to find out in vitro antimicrobial activity of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol fractions of Piper betle green leaves against S. aureus, and profiles of secondary metabolite compounds contained in these three extracts. The antimicrobial activity test was carried out by disk diffusion test of the fraction of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol at a concentration of 6,25, 12,5, and 18,75 µg/disk. Detection of secondary metabolite content was done by the Thin Layer Chromatography method with stain-view reagents. The highest antimicrobial activity was found in the ethyl acetate fraction and was significantly different from the activity in the ethanol and n-hexane fractions. However, the antibacterial activity of all fractions was lower compared to the positive control of amoxiclav 30µg/disk. The phytochemical screening results of secondary metabolites of each fraction were shown that the n-hexane fraction contained alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, and anthraquinone; the ethyl acetate fraction contained terpenoids, polyphenols, and anthraquinone; while the ethanol fraction contained alkaloids, terpenoids, polyphenols, and anthraquinone. Based on the test results, it is concluded that all fractions of Piper betle leaf extract had high antimicrobial activity; meanwhile, the ethyl acetate fraction had the highest activities among others. Each fraction was proven to have a different composition of secondary metabolites
