    In Jawa Tengah, 2015 there are 48.541 acceptors who have changed their FP method. Most of them subtitute to injectable FP method. In Semarang, there are 1.333 acceptors have changed their FP method, most of them substitute to injectable FP method. In District Tembalang recorded 75 acceptors have changed its method of family planning from the period 2013-2015. Preliminary study on the 10 acceptors turnover of family planning methods known that 7 of them substitute FP methods from LTM to non-LTM with the biggest reason is because of side effects which is menstrual disordes (100%), change in body weight (80%), bleeding disorder (40%), and whitish (20%). The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of family planning officers and planning experience with the change of family planning methods in District Tembalang, Semarang. This type of research is explanatory research with cross sectional study design. The population in this study are all acceptors turnover family planning methods are recorded in primary health centers Rowosari and Kedungmundu and the sample is total population of 56 people. Analysis of the data used univariate analysis with frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using Chi Square test with significancy level (α) of 5%. The results showed that the largest percentage of the lack of family planning officer role (51.8%), there are experiences KB themselves (69.6%), and there are not experience of others (80.4%). The results of analysis of Chi Square, there is no relationship role for FP officer with the replacement of family planning methods (p value: 0.636), there is no relationship experiences FP others with the replacement of family planning methods (p value: 0,761). It is advisable for family planning officials to explain about family planning methods with more deeply

    Development of Grid e-Infrastructure in South-Eastern Europe

    Over the period of 6 years and three phases, the SEE-GRID programme has established a strong regional human network in the area of distributed scientific computing and has set up a powerful regional Grid infrastructure. It attracted a number of user communities and applications from diverse fields from countries throughout the South-Eastern Europe. From the infrastructure point view, the first project phase has established a pilot Grid infrastructure with more than 20 resource centers in 11 countries. During the subsequent two phases of the project, the infrastructure has grown to currently 55 resource centers with more than 6600 CPUs and 750 TBs of disk storage, distributed in 16 participating countries. Inclusion of new resource centers to the existing infrastructure, as well as a support to new user communities, has demanded setup of regionally distributed core services, development of new monitoring and operational tools, and close collaboration of all partner institution in managing such a complex infrastructure. In this paper we give an overview of the development and current status of SEE-GRID regional infrastructure and describe its transition to the NGI-based Grid model in EGI, with the strong SEE regional collaboration.Comment: 22 pages, 12 figures, 4 table

    The Mixmaster Spacetime, Geroch's Transformation and Constants of Motion

    Full text link
    We show that for U(1)U(1)-symmetric spacetimes on S3×RS^3 \times R a constant of motion associated with the well known Geroch transformation, a functional K[hij,πij]K[h_{ij},\pi^{ij}], quadratic in gravitational momenta, is strictly positive in an open subset of the set of all U(1)U(1)-symmetric initial data, and therefore not weakly zero. The Mixmaster initial data appear to be on the boundary of that set. We calculate the constant of motion perturbatively for the Mixmaster spacetime and find it to be proportional to the minisuperspace Hamiltonian to the first order in the Misner anisotropy variables, i.e. weakly zero. Assuming that KK is exactly zero for the Mixmaster spacetime, we show that Geroch's transformation, when applied to the Mixmaster spacetime, gives a new \mbox{U(1)U(1)-symmetric} solution of the vacuum Einstein equations, globally defined on \mbox{S2×S1×RS^2 \times S^1 \times R},which is non-homogeneous and presumably exhibits Mixmaster-like complicated dynamical behavior.Comment: 25 pages, preprint YCTP-20-93, Revte

    Asymptotic Behavior of the T3×RT^3 \times R Gowdy Spacetimes

    Full text link
    We present new evidence in support of the Penrose's strong cosmic censorship conjecture in the class of Gowdy spacetimes with T3T^3 spatial topology. Solving Einstein's equations perturbatively to all orders we show that asymptotically close to the boundary of the maximal Cauchy development the dominant term in the expansion gives rise to curvature singularity for almost all initial data. The dominant term, which we call the ``geodesic loop solution'', is a solution of the Einstein's equations with all space derivatives dropped. We also describe the extent to which our perturbative results can be rigorously justified.Comment: 30 page

    Magnetic fields on young, moderately rotating Sun-like stars - I. HD 35296 and HD 29615

    Observations of the magnetic fields of young solar-type stars provide a way to investigate the signatures of their magnetic activity and dynamos. Spectropolarimetry enables the study of these stellar magnetic fields and was thus employed at the Télescope Bernard Lyot and the Anglo-Australian Telescope to investigate two moderately rotating young Sun-like stars, namely HD 35296 (V119 Tau, HIP 25278) and HD 29615 (HIP 21632). The results indicate that both stars display rotational variation in chromospheric indices consistent with their spot activity, with variations indicating a probable long-term cyclic period for HD 35296. Additionally, both stars have complex, and evolving, large-scale surface magnetic fields with a significant toroidal component. High levels of surface differential rotation were measured for both stars. For the F8V star HD 35296 a rotational shear of ΔΩ = 0.22^{+0.04}_{-0.02} rad d-1 was derived from the observed magnetic profiles. For the G3V star HD 29615, the magnetic features indicate a rotational shear of ΔΩ = 0.48_{-0.12}^{+0.11} rad d-1, while the spot features, with a distinctive polar spot, provide a much lower value of ΔΩ of 0.07_{-0.03}^{+0.10} rad d-1. Such a significant discrepancy in shear values between spot and magnetic features for HD 29615 is an extreme example of the variation observed for other lower mass stars. From the extensive and persistent azimuthal field observed for both targets, it is concluded that a distributed dynamo operates in these moderately rotating Sun-like stars, in marked contrast to the Sun's interface-layer dynamo

    The connection between stellar activity cycles and magnetic field topology

    Get PDF
    Zeeman–Doppler imaging (ZDI) has successfully mapped the large-scale magnetic fields of stars over a large range of spectral types, rotation periods and ages. When observed over multiple epochs, some stars show polarity reversals in their global magnetic fields. On the Sun, polarity reversals are a feature of its activity cycle. In this paper, we examine the magnetic properties of stars with existing chromospherically determined cycle periods. Previous authors have suggested that cycle periods lie on multiple branches, either in the cycle period–Rossby number plane or the cycle period–rotation period plane. We find some evidence that stars along the active branch show significant average toroidal fields that exhibit large temporal variations while stars exclusively on the inactive branch remain dominantly poloidal throughout their entire cycle. This lends credence to the idea that different shear layers are in operation along each branch. There is also evidence that the short magnetic polarity switches observed on some stars are characteristic of the inactive branch while the longer chromospherically determined periods are characteristic of the active branch. This may explain the discrepancy between the magnetic and chromospheric cycle periods found on some stars. These results represent a first attempt at linking global magnetic field properties obtained from ZDI and activity cycles.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

    Stellar Coronal and Wind Models: Impact on Exoplanets

    Full text link
    Surface magnetism is believed to be the main driver of coronal heating and stellar wind acceleration. Coronae are believed to be formed by plasma confined in closed magnetic coronal loops of the stars, with winds mainly originating in open magnetic field line regions. In this Chapter, we review some basic properties of stellar coronae and winds and present some existing models. In the last part of this Chapter, we discuss the effects of coronal winds on exoplanets.Comment: Chapter published in the "Handbook of Exoplanets", Editors in Chief: Juan Antonio Belmonte and Hans Deeg, Section Editor: Nuccio Lanza.
