Risk Factors in the Incidence of Gouty Arthritis in Masohi Town, Central Maluku Regency in 2010

The gouty arthritis incidence rate in Masohi Townof Central Maluku Regency is 54 people based on the data from the general  hospital in Masohi. The aim of study was to find out the risk factor in the incidence of gouty arthritis in Masohi Town of Central Maluku Regency. The study was analytic observation using a control case study. The number of respondents was 196 people consisting of 98 cases and 98 controls. The data were analyzed by using odds ratio (OR) and multiple logistic regression. The results of the study indicate that the risk factors in the incidence of gouty arthritis are hypertension (OR = 2.20 CI 95%; 1.24-3.90), central obesity (OR = 3.04 CI 95%; 1.66-5.55), alcoholic comsumption (OR = 2.28 CI 95%; 1.29-4.05), purine food consumption (OR = 5.14 CI 95% 2.80-9.44), gout history in family (OR = 3.10 CI 95%; 1.73-5.55), and soft drink consumption (OR = 1.33 CI 95%; 0.72-2.45). The multivariate analysis indicates that the most dominant factor affecting the incidence of gouty arthritis is purine food consumption (p = 0.000).  Since the consumption of purine food is the most dominant factor affecting the incidence of gouty arthritis, diet pattern is necessary for the patients

Conceptual Level on Electricity in Logical-Mathematical and Naturalist Intelligence of Elementary School Students

Abstract. For a teacher who teaches science concepts to a group of students, they ought to investigate the level of understanding from various background, including one of the differences in the dominant multiple intelligences (MI) possessed by students. This level of understanding can be identified from the ability of students to understand concepts in a series of learning phases through tests of understanding the initial concepts and final concepts of a topic of teaching material. This study aims to map the level of conceptual change in electricity based on two types of elementary school students' MI, namely logical-mathematical intelligence and naturalist intelligence through a problem-based learning model with a scientific approach and experimental methods. The research findings show that 1) the profile of students' multiple intelligence levels in the logical-mathematical type of intelligence has a relatively similar trend pattern with naturalist intelligence in the subjects studied and in the learning process about electricity; 2) students are distributed at the level of understanding based on their conceptual change from initial understanding to final understanding in almost all categories, with the largest percentage (47.83%) of students being at the level of revising with 4 different variants, and 4.35% of students being at the level of complete their knowledge; and 3) students' understanding of the concept of electricity is randomly distributed at all conceptual levels, both on the type of logical-mathematical multiple intelligence and on the type of naturalist intelligence

Shear Capacity of RC Beams Retrofitted

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of retrofit on shear capacity; cracks; and failure modes of beams. Four concrete beams reinforced internally with steel and externally with both wire mesh (Ø4,06mm) and SCC (2.5mm) applied to the specimens were tested under three-point bending. The shear failure is initiated by a major diagonal crack within the beam shear span. This diagonal crack extended horizontally at the level of the wire mesh. Results show that SCC with wire mesh is very effective for shear strengthening. Increases in strength of 71.82% for BWS over the BN as control, un-retrofitted beams were noted

Mesin Ayak Dua Saluran Dilengkapi Pengarah untuk Produk Beras Jagung

A sieve machine is used to separate groups of granules based on size. Most separation sieves on two groups of sifted/filtered grains move immediately, but the unfiltered grains are removed by the operator turning the sieve sideways or lifting the unfiltered material. In addition, the sifted material is usually poured directly on the sieve wire. This slows the sifting process, and the buildup can damage the sieve. On the other hand, sieve materials, such as corn rice products, require two sizes of sieve wire holes. Design, make, and study the function, "The Sieve Machine's two-channel Equipped with Directions for Rice Corn". The specification of the sieve machine is as follows; it has two sifting channels, the sieve filter can be replaced, a swing arm drives the filter, the dynamo operates on 3/4 hp, rotation 1400 rpm, the capacity for one stage is ± 44.8 kg/hour, the capacity for corn rice ± 22 kg/hour (it's time to change the sieve). The study of engine performance on several variables showed that the smaller the lightening angle, the capacity increases; it is inversely proportional to the length of the spring and rotation. At angle 50 sieve capacity is 23.3 kg/hour, with the length of the spring being 90.5 mm, and on the size of the spring becoming 100.5 mm, the sieva capacity of 24.6 kg/hour. For angle 150, the capacity is reduced by 20.4 kg/hour. At rotation 230 rpm, 50 angles, decreased capacity, only 20.3 kg/hour, spring length 90.5 m
