Pelaksanaan Pembagian Warisan Pada Masyarakat Tionghoa Di Gunungsitoli-nias (Studi Pada: Persatuan Amal Sosial Gunungsitoli-nias)

The implementation of distributing inheritance in the Chinese of the Indonesian citizens is based on the Civil Code since there is no law which regulates it. The implementation of distributing inheritance in the Chinese community in Gunungsitoli, Nias is based on the Chinese adat law by discussing the share of each heir in a spirit of mutual cooperation and consensus. The legal consequence of this system is that it is binding for the heirs to comply with it. It becomes the basic philosophy for settling any conflict about the distribution of inheritance so that it is the least possibility for the heirs not to agree with this amicable decision because of the strong adat tradition among the Chinese community, and the adat law practitipners themselves have admitted its existence

Analisis Hubungan antara Size, Product Life Cycle, dan Market Position dengan Penggunaan Balanced Scorecard pada Sektor Industri Manufaktur

The Increasing business competition requires companies to possess an appropriate and accurate performance measurement. Balanced scorecard is an appropriate performance measurement tool to use pertinent to the financial and non-financial aspects of the measurement. The research was conducted to know the relationships among size, product life cycle, and market position and the use of balanced scorecard in the manufacturing industry. The study was conducted to 34 manufacturing companies located in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. The manufacturing companies were business to customer types that came from the consumer goods, chemicals, and various industry sectors. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires to the managers or owners of the manufacturing companies. The data analysis technique used in this study was the Pearson correlation test to determine whether there were relationships among the size, product life cycle, and market position and the use of a balanced scorecard. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship among the variable size, product life cycle, and market position and the use of the balanced scorecard in the manufacturing industry sector in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. In addition, it was noted that the highest use of the balanced scorecard was on the internal business process perspective, which amounted to 26%

Frontotemporal dementia: the impact of patient behavioral symptoms on the physical and mental health of family caregivers.

BackgroundProviding informal support to someone with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) could be very stressful. Clarifying the relationship between patient behavioral problems and caregiver health could spur future research on effective symptom management strategies.MethodsSixty-one FTD family caregivers participated in a postal survey.ResultsPatient symptom severity was negatively associated with caregiver mental health (r = -0.26, p < 0.05) but not significantly associated with caregiver physical health. In a regression analysis, caregiver emotional distress from patient behaviors made a statistically significant contribution to caregiver mental health, explaining approximately 10% of its variance.ConclusionThis study underscores the importance of focusing on FTD caregivers' perceived emotional distress from patient behavioral problems and ensuring they are getting the appropriate support they need

Shuttle PRCS plume contamination analysis for Astro-2 mission

The Astro-2 mission scheduled for Jan. 1995 flight is co-manifested with the Spartan experiment. The Astro instrument array consists of several telescopes operating in the UV spectrum. To obtain the desired 300 observations with the telescope array in a shorter time than the Astro-1 mission, it will be necessary to use the primary reaction control system (PRCS) rather than just the Vernier reaction control system. The high mass flow rate of the PRCS engines cause considerable concern about contamination due to PRCS plume return flux. Performance of these instruments depends heavily on the environment they encounter. The ability of the optical system to detect a remote signal depends not only on the intensity of the incoming signal, but also on the ensuing transmission loss through the optical train of the instrument. Performance of these instruments is thus dependent on the properties of the optical surface and the medium through which it propagates. The on-orbit contamination environment will have a strong influence on the performance of these instruments. The finding of a two-month study of the molecular contamination environment of the Astro-2 instruments due to PRCS thruster plumes during the planned Astro-2 mission are summarized

Minimal Permutations and 2-Regular Skew Tableaux

Bouvel and Pergola introduced the notion of minimal permutations in the study of the whole genome duplication-random loss model for genome rearrangements. Let $\mathcal{F}_d(n)$ denote the set of minimal permutations of length $n$ with $d$ descents, and let $f_d(n)= |\mathcal{F}_d(n)|$. They derived that $f_{n-2}(n)=2^{n}-(n-1)n-2$ and $f_n(2n)=C_n$, where $C_n$ is the $n$-th Catalan number. Mansour and Yan proved that $f_{n+1}(2n+1)=2^{n-2}nC_{n+1}$. In this paper, we consider the problem of counting minimal permutations in $\mathcal{F}_d(n)$ with a prescribed set of ascents. We show that such structures are in one-to-one correspondence with a class of skew Young tableaux, which we call $2$-regular skew tableaux. Using the determinantal formula for the number of skew Young tableaux of a given shape, we find an explicit formula for $f_{n-3}(n)$. Furthermore, by using the Knuth equivalence, we give a combinatorial interpretation of a formula for a refinement of the number $f_{n+1}(2n+1)$.Comment: 19 page

Gravitational energy as dark energy: Concordance of cosmological tests

We provide preliminary quantitative evidence that a new solution to averaging the observed inhomogeneous structure of matter in the universe [gr-qc/0702082, arxiv:0709.0732], may lead to an observationally viable cosmology without exotic dark energy. We find parameters which simultaneously satisfy three independent tests: the match to the angular scale of the sound horizon detected in the cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectrum; the effective comoving baryon acoustic oscillation scale detected in galaxy clustering statistics; and type Ia supernova luminosity distances. Independently of the supernova data, concordance is obtained for a value of the Hubble constant which agrees with the measurement of the Hubble Key team of Sandage et al [astro-ph/0603647]. Best-fit parameters include a global average Hubble constant H_0 = 61.7 (+1.2/-1.1) km/s/Mpc, a present epoch void volume fraction of f_{v0} = 0.76 (+0.12/-0.09), and an age of the universe of 14.7 (+0.7/-0.5) billion years as measured by observers in galaxies. The mass ratio of non-baryonic dark matter to baryonic matter is 3.1 (+2.5/-2.4), computed with a baryon-to-photon ratio that concords with primordial lithium abundances.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; v2 improved statistics, references added, to appear in ApJ Letter
