An Outbreak of Malaria in a Surgical Ward : Possibility of Mechanical Transmission

Penularan malaria pada umumnya terjadi melalui vektor yakni nyamuk Anopheles. Cara penularan lain adalah melalui transfusi darah atau secara congenital pada bayi yang baru lahir. Penularan secara me­kanis misalnya melalui alat suntik sangat jarang dijumpai. Berikut ini disajikan laporan penelitian terhadap 26 penderita malaria Plasmodium falciparum yang terjadi antara periode November 1981 sampai dengan Maret 1982 di bangsal bedah pria Rumah Sa­kit Umum Hasan Sadikin, Bandung. Hipotesa penularan melalui alat suntik/semprit ditegakkan sesudah diadakan penyelidikan epidemiologik dan entomologik. Ternyata disposable syringe di bangsal perawat­an tersebut digunakan untuk lebih dari satu penderita. Hipotesa diperkuat dengan tidak timbulnya lagi penderita setelah alat suntik hanya dipergunakan untuk satu orang penderita yang dirawat

Dual Faces Architecture of Nias

Many Indonesian people built a traditional house based on beliefs of their ancestors for generations, without knowing the scientific reason. Meanwhile, indirectly, ancestors already thinking about housing that adapts the environmental conditions such as in Nias Island. Nias is an island that has two different forms of traditional houses which are affected by the differences geographic, highland and lowland. Geographic factors and beliefs not only affect the shape of the house but also the structure of the house. Located on the earthquake fault lines, Nias traditional houses was designed to withstand earthquakes that often befall. A study using description and analysis methods about design and structure which used in traditional houses in Nias Island, would develop a good sense of the idea to apply these materials on modern building to preserve the culture of Indonesia

Analisis Kesiapan Akreditasi Berbasis SAPTO Program Studi Pendidikan Biologi Universitas Mataram

Sistem penjaminan mutu pendidikan tinggi meliputi Sistem Penjaminan Mutu Internal (SPMI) dan Sistem Penjaminan Mutu Eksternal (SPME) yang lebih dikenal dengan Akreditasi. Salah satu indikator mutu program studi adalah baik tidaknya nilai akreditasi prodi yang menggambarkan program studi secara menyeluruh. Pelaksanaan akreditasi prodi yang merupakan sistem penjaminan mutu eksternal terus berkembang dari waktu ke waktu dan sistem yang berlaku adalah berbasis SAPTO (Sistem Akreditasi Perguruan Tinggi Online). Prodi Pendidikan Biologi adalah salah satu prodi di lingkungan FKIP UNRAM yang akan mengajukan akreditasi disebabkan masa berlakunnya akan segera berakhir dalan satu tahun mendatang. Namun demikian untuk bisa memperoleh nilai tersebut perlu dilakukan persiapan-persiapan baik di tingkat prodi maupun fakultas, sehingga perlu dilakukan kajian kesiapan program studi dan fakultas dalam mengahadapi akreditasi prodi berbasis SAPTO. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis kesiapan Prodi Pendidikan Biologi dan institusi/fakultas dalam menghadapi akreditasi berbasis SAPTO yang mencakup 7 estándar akreditasi. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian evaluatif kualitatif. Penelitian dilaksanakan mulai dari akhir bulan Mei 2018 sampai dengan akhir Nopember 2018.Tempat pelaksanaan di FKIP Universitas Mataram. Subjek penelitian dan sumber adalah dosen program studi, tenaga kependidikan dan dekanat di lingkungan FKIP UNRAM serta dokumen. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui angket, dokumen dan wawancara. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan cara merangkum, memilih hal-hal pokok, memfokuskan pada hal-hal yang penting untuk dicari tema dan polanya data reduction , kemudian data display, setelah itu ditarik sebuah conclusion drawing. Hasil menunjukan bahwa tingkat kesiapan prodi untuk akreditasi pada tingkatan kurang siap dengan data dan informasi sesuai dengan tagihan dari standar pada borang seperti : standar Visi, Misi, Tujuan dan Sasaran, Serta Strategi Pencapaian, Tata Pamong, Kepemimpinan, Sistem Pengelolaan, dan Penjaminan Mutu, Mahasiswa dan Lulusan Sumber Daya Manusia, Kurikulum, Pembelajaran, dan Suasana Akademik, Penelitian, Pelayanan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat, dan Kerjasama, Pembiayaan, Sarana dan Prasarana, serta Sistem Infsi.ormasi. Dengan demikian perlu dipersiapkan data informasi yang dibutuhkan serta penjelasan yang fokus dan komprehensif untuk bagian-bagian tertentu dari standar pada borang akreditasi

Parametrization of the Relativistic (σ−ω\sigma-\omega) Model for Nuclear Matter

We have investigated the zero-temperature equation of state (EoS) for infinite nuclear matter within the $(\sigma-\omega)$ model at all densities $n_{\mathrm{B}}$ and different proton-neutron asymmetry $\eta\equiv(N-Z)/A$. We have presented an analytical expression for the compression modulus and found that nuclear matter ceases to saturate at $\eta$ slightly larger than $0.8$. Afterward, we have developed an analytical method to determine the strong coupling constants from the EoS for isospin symmetric nuclear matter, which allow us to reproduce all the saturation properties with high accuracy. For various values of the nucleon effective mass and the compression modulus, we have found that the quartic self-coupling constant $G_4$ is negative, or positive and very large. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that it is possible (a) to investigate the EoS in terms of $n_{\mathrm{B}}$ and $\eta$; and (b) to reproduce all the known saturation properties without $G_4$. We have thus concluded that the latter is not necessary in the $(\sigma-\omega)$ model.Comment: 15pp; article published online: August 06, 2010 by Phys. Rev.

Population modeling with machine learning can enhance measures of mental health

Background: Biological aging is revealed by physical measures, e.g., DNA probes or brain scans. In contrast, individual differences in mental function are explained by psychological constructs, e.g., intelligence or neuroticism. These constructs are typically assessed by tailored neuropsychological tests that build on expert judgement and require careful interpretation. Could machine learning on large samples from the general population be used to build proxy measures of these constructs that do not require human intervention? Results: Here, we built proxy measures by applying machine learning on multimodal MR images and rich sociodemographic information from the largest biomedical cohort to date: the UK Biobank. Objective model comparisons revealed that all proxies captured the target constructs and were as useful, and sometimes more useful, than the original measures for characterizing real-world health behavior (sleep, exercise, tobacco, alcohol consumption). We observed this complementarity of proxy measures and original measures at capturing multiple health-related constructs when modeling from, both, brain signals and sociodemographic data. Conclusion: Population modeling with machine learning can derive measures of mental health from heterogeneous inputs including brain signals and questionnaire data. This may complement or even substitute for psychometric assessments in clinical populations

Structural and Thermal Analysis of Disc Brake With and Without Cross Drilled Rotor

The disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel. A brake disc (or rotor), usually made of cast iron or ceramic composites (including carbon, Kevlar and silica), is connected to the wheel and/or the axle. To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads (mounted on a device called a brake caliper) is forced mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electromagnetically against both sides of the disc. Friction causes the disc and attached wheel to slow or stop. Brakes convert friction to heat, but if the brakes get too hot, they will cease to work because they cannot dissipate enough heat. This condition of failure is known as brake fade. Disc brakes are exposed to large thermal stresses during routine braking and extraordinary thermal stresses during hard braking. The aim of the project is to model a disc brake used. Coupled field analysis (Structural + Thermal) is done on the disc brake. The materials used are Cast Iron, stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Analysis is also done by changing the design of disc brake. Actual disc brake has no holes, design is changed by giving holes in the disc brake for more heat dissipation. Modeling is done in Pro/Engineer and analysis is done in Ansys
