Hypertension as a Determining Factor in the Rupture of Intracranial Aneurysms, Diagnosed by 64-MDCT Angiography

Background: To determine a correlation between risk factors and the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 29 patients with a saccular intracranial aneurysm was obtained using consecutive sampling and examination of 64-MDCT angiography. Bivariate statistical analysis using Fisher's exact test was arranged using cross-tabulation to determine the correlation between each risk factor of age, sex, hypertension, and smoking with the occurrence of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Results: The highest incidence of ruptured intracranial aneurysms were in patients aged <60 years (70%), male (75%), experienced hypertension (85%), and were smokers (85.7%). Only the risk factor of hypertension had a correlation with the occurrence of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm (p < 0.05). The prevalence ratio of age and sex were 1.0 and 0.9, whereas hypertension and smoking were 2.6 and 1.3. Conclusions: The risk factor of hypertension leading to a ruptured intracranial aneurysm was 2.6 times higher than non-hypertensive patients, and as such hypertension is a risk factor associated with the occurrence of ruptured intracranial aneurysm

Experimental Study of Confined Low-, Medium- and High-Strength Concrete Subjected to Concentric Compression

An experimental study of 23 low-, medium- and high-strengthconcrete columns is presented in this paper. Square-confined concrete columns without longitudinal reinforcement were designed, and tested under concentric axial compression. The columns were made of concrete with a compressive strength ranging between 30 MPa and 70 MPa. The test parameters in the study are concrete compressive strengths and confining steel properties, i.e. spacing, volumetric ratios and configurations. The effects of these parameters on the strength and ductility of square-confined concrete were evaluated. Of the specimens tested in this study, the columns made with higher-strength concrete produced less strength enhancement and ductility than those with lower-strength concrete. The steel configurations were found to have an important role in governing the strength and ductility of the confined high-strength concrete. Moreover, several models of strength enhancement for confined concrete available in the literature turned out to be quite accurate in predicting the experimental results

Of the ANOVA test results on the levene test count has a value of 5.822 with a probability value of 0.009 (<0.05) then the three variants of the population are identical so that the biomass content of Station 1. Station 2 and Station 3 is not significantly different, the results showed that in the t-independent test results showed no significant differences in the potential value of AGB and BGB. Based on the ANOVA test the finding shawed no significant difference to total biomass at each station in Sungaitohor Village, Meranti Islands District

Gaya Kepemimpinan Kepala Perpustakaan Terhadap Motivasi Kerja Pegawai Di Perpustakaan Arsip Dan Dokumentasi Kota Kotamobagu

Di era globalisasi pesatnya kemajuan teknologi sangat penting terhadap berbagai kegiatan, salah satunya kegiatan yang dilakukan di perpustakaan. Untuk dapat bertahan, perpustakaan sebagai wahana pendidikan, penelitian, pelestarian, informasi serta rekreasi untuk meningkatkan kecerdasan sehingga perlu adanya pengembangan sumber daya manusia dalam organisasi yang merupakan pengelolah atau penggerak dalam suatu aktivitas.Pada dasarnya keberhasilan pencapaian tujuan organisasi secara intern ditentukan oleh 2 faktor utama yang mempengaruhi satu dengan yang lainnya yaitu gaya kepemimpinan yang diterapkan oleh seorang pemimpin organisasi dan para pelaksana yang meliputi keseluruhan bawahan yang ada dalam organisasi tersebut.Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahuai bagaimana gaya kepemimpinan kepala perpustakaan terhadap motivasi kerja pegawai di kantor arsip dan dokumentasi kota kotamobagu. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana penelitian yang dilakukan bersifat deskriptif. Teknik analisa yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisa deskriptif kualitatif.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini dan sesuai dengan jawaban yang diberikan dari informan kepada peneliti bahawa gaya kepemimpinan kepala perpustakaan terhadap motivasi kerja pegawai sangatlah penting akan tetapi kepala perpustakaan belum maksimal karena hampir sebagian pegawai kurang termotivasi dalam melaksanakan aktifitas di perpustakaan karena gaya kepemimpinan yang diterapkan cenderung gaya kepemimpinan otoriter sehingga menjadi factor penghabat dalam pelaksanaan di perpustakaan, dan pegawai yang memiliki kemampuan dalam mengolah perpustakaan hanyalah sebagian pegawai yang punya pemahaman yang lebih

Dapatkah Kualitas Audit Mengurangi Biaya Modal Ekuitas Ex-ante?1

Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh kualitas audit terhadap biaya ekuitas modal ex-ante Perusahaan publik terdaftar pada Bursa Efek Indonesia. Kualitas audit diukur dengan ukuran Kantor Akuntan Publik (Big 4) dan spesialisasi industri KAP. Studi sebelumnya menemukan bahwa kualitas audit yang lebih tinggi dapat mengurangi biaya modal ekuitas ex-ante. Dengan menggunakan sampel 288 tahun Perusahaan untuk data panel Perusahaan publik terdaftar di BEI, kami menemukan bukti yang sebaliknya yaitu adanya pengaruh positif kualitas audit menggunakan proksi KAP Big 4 terhadap biaya modal ekuitas ex-ante. Sebaliknya, kami menemukan bukti adanya pengaruh negatif spesialisasi industri KAP terhadap biaya modal ekuitas ex-ante, khususnya untuk Perusahaan-Perusahaan publik terdaftar yang lebih kecil. Penjelasan alternatif untuk temuan-temuan ini adalah bahwa diduga investor tidak memandang Big 4 memiliki kualitas audit yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan non-Big 4, dan investor menggunakan informasi lainnya yang lebih dapat diandalkan untuk mengurangi risiko informasi dalam pengambilan keputusan investasi mereka

Aircraft flight path angle display system

A display system for use in an aircraft control wheel steering system provides the pilot with a single, quickened flight path angle display to overcome poor handling qualities due to intrinsic flight path angle response lags, while avoiding multiple information display symbology. The control law for the flight path angle control system is designed such that the aircraft's actual flight path angle response lags the pilot's commanded flight path angle by a constant time lag .tau., independent of flight conditions. The synthesized display signal is produced as a predetermined function of the aircraft's actual flight path angle, the time lag .tau. and command inputs from the pilot's column
