Ethical Sensitivity of Business Students in Turkey: Truth or Myth

This study examines the relationship between the ethical sensitivity scores of college students in relation with three focal points: the areas which they want to specialize, their intention about graduate education and the sectors they want to work. The samples are comprised of 740 junior, sophomore and senior business students at various universities located in Ankara, Turkey. The results indicate that there was a significant correlation between ethical sensitivity scores of the business students and the issues such as the areas which they want to specialize, their intention to have graduate degree and the sectors they plan to work

Learning about the Energy of a Hurricane System through an Estimation Epistemic Game

As part of a study into students' problem solving behaviors, we asked upper-division physics students to solve estimation problems in clinical interviews. We use the Resources Framework and epistemic games to describe students' problem solving moves. We present a new epistemic game, the "estimation epistemic game". In the estimation epistemic game, students break the larger problem into a series of smaller, tractable problems. Within each sub-problem, they try to remember a method for solving the problem, and use estimation and reasoning abilities to justify their answers. We demonstrate how a single case study student plays the game to estimate the total energy in a hurricane. Finally, we discuss the implications of epistemic game analysis for other estimation problems.Comment: 4 pages. Submitted to Physics Education Research Conference 201

Prediction of damage intensity in moment frames by using wavelet analysis

After occurrence of an earthquake, one of the most important applications of recorded information in instrumented buildings is using these data in observation and estimation of damage in the structural systems of the building. A method using plastic hinge formation and wavelet analysis has been presented which directly makes use of rotational response history of frame nodes (rotation, angular velocity, angular acceleration) for extracting information of damage

Quality In A Property Development Project : A Case In Rusunami Kalibata City

Rusunami of Kalibata Residence is one of 3 (three) residences group at Kalibata City Super Block area at Kalibata, South of Jakarta that is developed by AgungPodomoro Group as a respond to government program of 1000 tower Rusunami/Rusunawa in Indonesia. Consist of 7 towers that now already complete its construction, it has been lived in by tenants and now at operation management step. Rusunami as the name “ RumahSusunSederhanaHakMilik “ is property business as like apartment that have unique characteristic of business, because combination of product delivered and service quality with no direct repeat order activity. There are three main business, project management at development step, marketing at promotion and transaction step and property operation management as after sales service at normal operation. At the operation management step, the main objective of business is to ensure customer that staying at Kalibata Residence is satisfy for all of product and service delivered. It should cover all customer main needs and the promised thing at marketing promotion step. The main business issue also related to the main objective, it is unsatisfied respond from customer of product and service quality delivered. The cost of unsatisfied impact will be more expensive that cost of best service quality. Based on observation and research at the field, the source of unsatisfied customer come from quality of product and service accepted compare their expectation. There are some expectation the people to by and stay at Kalibata Residence as his need and concept of live, it is also be stronger by marketing promised from developer. Developer already delivered the room unit tenant /customer and make service quality program of daily operation management to comply the customer expectation and developer promised. So the main source can come from high expectation of customer and there are some quality problem the product and service delivered. As property operation management should respond this issue to achieve the business objective, increase customer satisfaction.The recommended solution is quality service improvement at all dimensions of service quality (tangible, responsiveness, reliability, performance and empathy) with priority based on the breakdown of unsatisfied customer respond and timing schedule.   Keywords: quality of property, service qualit

Special issue: Update on neural oscillations in neuropsychiatric disorders

The present issue highlights recent progress in the analysis of oscillatory activity for the assessment, understanding and remediation of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. Contemporary interest in neural synchrony and oscillations in neuropsychiatric disorders has been motivated by investigations of cellular and network oscillations, modeling of neural networks and advances in signal analysis. Hebb1 proposed that synchronous activation between two neurons strengthened connectivity between them; and that a reverberatory neural circuit could maintain a representation of a stimulus in memory. More recent findings implicate neural synchrony and oscillations in feature binding, attentional selection, arousal, memory operations and consciousness.2-9 Consequently, disturbances of oscillations within and between neural ensembles may contribute to sensory, behavioral and cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders. Because human EEG and MEG activity are generated by synchronized inhibitory and excitatory post-synaptic potentials within large ensembles of neurons, they are well suited for the detection of neural synchrony and oscillations with millisecond temporal resolution

Peningkatan Pengetahuan, Sikap, dan Tindakan Santri melalui Metode Diskusi Kelompok Tentang Penyakit Skabies di Pondok Pesantren Al Wahdah Kendari Tahun 2016

Skabies adalah penyakit kulit menular yang disebabkan oleh Sarcoptes scabei varianhominis. Skabies ditemukan disemua negara dengan prevalensi yang bervariasi. Insiden danprevalensi skabies masih sangat tinggi di Indonesia terutama pada lingkungan masyarakatpesantren. Upaya pendidikan kesehatan sangat diperlukan untuk memberikan efek peningkatanpengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan pada santri dengan metode pembelajaran yang sesuai danefektif. Metode diskusi kelompok dalam pendidikan kesehatan akan lebih banyak melakukandiskusi yang akan membuat penyerapan materi menjadi lebih maksimal. Tujuan penelitian iniadalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan santri melalui metodediskusi kelompok mengenai penyakit skabies sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan pada santri PondokPesantren Al Wahdah Kendari Tahun 2016.

Dimana terjadipeningkatan pengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan setelah dilakukan intervensi mengenai penyakitskabies selama 21 hari

Anharmonicity and self-similarity of the free energy landscape of protein G

The near-native free energy landscape of protein G is investigated through 0.4 microseconds-long atomistic molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent. A theoretical and computational framework is used to assess the time-dependence of salient thermodynamical features. While the quasi-harmonic character of the free energy is found to degrade in a few ns, the slow modes display a very mild dependence on the trajectory duration. This property originates from a striking self-similarity of the free energy landscape embodied by the consistency of the principal directions of the local minima, where the system dwells for several ns, and of the virtual jumps connecting them.Comment: revtex, 6 pages, 5 figure
