Flat Mahasiswa Di Manado (Pengembangan Personal Space Dalam Konteks Teori Teritorialitas)

Upaya menghadirkan hunian representatif bagi mahasiswa merupakan sasaran utama yang hendak dicapai dalam penulisan ilmiah ini. Kebutuhan tersebut menjadi persoalan setiap perguruan tinggi di seluruh Indonesia. Dalam merancang suatu bangunan, seorang Arsitek tentunya tidak hanya berdasarkan pada imajinasinya sendiri. Hasil kreasi seorang arsitek membentuk suatu kesatuan yang harmonis dalam berbagai dimensi, terutama dimensi Kenyamanan dan keamanan. Ketika merancang, seorang arsitek harus memperhitungkan secara rinci seberapa besar kebutuhan manusia, memperkirakan bagaimana mereka berperlaku, bergerak dalam lingkungannya, kemudian memutuskan bagaimana bangunan tersebut dapat menjadi lingkungan yang sehat terhadap manusia pemakainya. Sebagian mahasiswa dinilai lebih suka privasi atau ingin menjaga Kenyamanannya dalam belajar sehingga bentuk flat merupakan wadah yang cocok untuk mengakomodir kebutuhan tersebut. Sesuai dengan fungsi dan karakteristiknya, maka wadah ini dinamakan “Flat Mahasiswa Di Manado” kemudian, kajian perancangan terhadap objek dibatasi secara ilmu arsitektural dan penyesuain dengan perilaku manusia. Persyaratan fisik dan psikis serta faktor-faktor lainnya perlu di perhatikan, agar fungsi bangunan menjadi optimal. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu bangunan Flat, lengkap dengan perabotan interior dan fasilitas umum, memiliki tiga tipe hunian (T-Small, T-medium, T-Large) serta kapasitas daya tampung diasumsikan 5% dari jumlah mahasiswa yang ada ditiap-tiap universitas di Manado. Berikut juga sarana dan prasarana utilitas bangunan. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara dan pengmatan, kebutuhan mahasiswa semakin kompleks, hal itu seiring dengan perkembangan zaman. Mahasiswa bukan hanya membutuhkan tempat tinggal semata tapi juga kebutuhan yang menunjang aktivitas lainnya. Sebab itu itu perlu juga dibangun fasilitas penunjang yang memadai. Dalam hal ini ruang personal yang berkembang dari konteks teritorialitas menjadi titik acuan dalam perancangan objek bangunan. Dengan kata lain perilaku manusia dapat diarahkan kearah yang lebih baik bila nilai – nilai positif dari lingkungan atau bentuk arsitektur dapat membentuk kepribadian serta perilaku yang memiliki nilai positif

Technology-Based Innovations in Child Maltreatment Prevention Programs: Examples from SafeCare®

Each year, hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. are victims of child maltreatment. Experts recommend behavioral, skill-based parent training programs as a strategy for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. These programs can be enhanced using innovative technology strategies. This paper presents a brief history of the use of technology in SafeCare®, a home visiting program shown to prevent child neglect and physical abuse, and highlights current work that takes a technology-based hybrid approach to SafeCare delivery. With this unique approach, the provider brings a tablet computer to each session, and the parent interacts with the software to receive psychoeducation and modeling of target skills. The provider and parent then work together to practice the targeted skills until mastery is achieved. Initial findings from ongoing research of both of these strategies indicate that they show potential for improving engagement and use of positive parenting skills for parents and ease of implementation for providers. Future directions for technology enhancements in SafeCare are also presented

PENYU DAN WARGA PULAU SIAU

The study of the perception residents of the Siau island regarding the existence of sea turtles was carried out from June to December 2018. The survey method and direct observation were applied in data collection. The data collected then were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 88 % of the residents are well acquainted with the life of sea turtles followed by 80 % of the residents knew of the sea turtles’ status as the protected animals through government regulations and international conventions. However, the proportion of residents involved in violating regulations are quite worrying to the survival of sea turtles. For it was found that 29% of the residents were catching sea turtles, 20 % were selling sea turtle meat and eggs, and 82 % were consuming sea turtle meat and eggs. Thefefore, law enforcement and conservation education are absolutely neccesary for the sustainability of sea turtles in North Sulawesi Indonesia. Keywords: Sea turtle, Siau Island, resident’s perception, law enforment.

Forested Wetlands of the Southern United States: A Bibliography

The term forested wetland covers a variety of forest types including mangroves, cypress/tupelo swamps, bottomland hardwoods, pocosins and Carolina bays, flatwoods, and mountain fens. These forests are dominated by woody species that have morphological features, physiological adaptations, and/or reproductive strategies enabling them to achieve maturity and reproduce in an environment where the soils within the rooting zone may be inundated or saturated for various periods during the growing season. Although alluvial floodplains occur along most streams of the United States, they are most extensive in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Gulf Coastal Plain, and Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Only about half of the original floodplain forests remained by the 1930s, and conversion to agriculture continued at an accelerated pace during the 1960s and 1970s.The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a detailed listing of references for students and researchers of the varied studies conducted in these forest types

XRCC2 R188H (rs3218536), XRCC3 T241M (rs861539) and R243H (rs77381814) single nucleotide polymorphisms in cervical cancer risk

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. Transformation may be induced by several mechanisms, including oncogene activation and genome instability. Individual differences in DNA damage recognition and repair have been hypothesized to influence cervical cancer risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the double strand break gene polymorphisms XRCC2 R188H G>A (rs3218536), XRCC3 T241M C>T (rs861539) and R243H G>A (rs77381814) are associated to cervical cancer in Argentine women. A case control study consisting of 322 samples (205 cases and 117 controls) was carried out. HPV DNA detection was performed by PCR and genotyping of positive samples by EIA (enzyme immunoassay). XRCC2 and 3 polymorphisms were determined by pyrosequencing. The HPV-adjusted odds ratio (OR) of XRCC2 188 GG/AG genotypes was OR = 2.4 (CI = 1.1-4.9, p = 0.02) for cervical cancer. In contrast, there was no increased risk for cervical cancer with XRCC3 241 TT/CC genotypes (OR = 0.48; CI = 0.2-1; p = 0.1) or XRCC3 241 CT/CC (OR = 0.87; CI = 0.52-1.4; p = 0.6). Regarding XRCC3 R243H, the G allele was almost fixed in the population studied. In conclusion, although the sample size was modest, the present data indicate a statistical association between cervical cancer and XRCC2 R188H polymorphism. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings.Fil: Perez, Luis Orlando. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Centro Científico Tecnológico CONICET- La Plata.

Partition-Induced Vector Chromatography in Microfluidic Devices

The transport of Brownian particles in a slit geometry in the presence of an arbitrary two-dimensional periodic energy landscape and driven by an external force or convected by a flow field is investigated by means of macrotransport theory. Analytical expressions for the probability distribution and the average migration angle of the particles are obtained under the Fick-Jackobs approximation. The migration angle is shown to differ from the orientation angle of the driving field and to strongly depend on the physical properties of the suspended species, thus providing the basis for vector chormatography, in which different species move in different directions and can be continuously fractionated. The potential of microfluidic devices as a platform for partition-induced vector chromatography is demonstrated by considering the particular case of a piece-wise constant, periodic potential that, in equilibrium, induces the spontaneous partition of different species into high and low concentration stripes, and which can be easily fabricated by patterning physically or chemically one of the surfaces of a channel. The feasibility to separate different particles of the same and different size is shown for systems in which partition is induced via 1g-gravity and Van der Waals interactions in physically and chemically patterned channels, respectively

A prospective study of the relationship between prediagnostic Human Papillomavirus seropositivity and HPV DNA in subsequent cervical carcinomas

Several prospective studies with invasive carcinoma as endpoint have supported Human Papillomavirus as a cause of cervical carcinoma. However, the largest study used seroepidemiology and did not analyse presence of Human Papillomavirus DNA in the subsequent tumour. Linkage of serum bank registries and cancer registries had identified 196 women with a registered cervical carcinoma after donation of a serum sample. For the present study, biopsies for 127 cases could be located, verified to contain invasive carcinoma and be amplified by PCR. Three control women who had remained alive and without cervical carcinoma during an equal length of follow-up had been matched to each of the case women and tested for HPV antibodies. Presence of Human Papillomavirus DNA in the tumours was analysed by general primer and type specific PCR. HPV16-seropositive women had a relative risk of 4.4 (95% CI: 2.2–8.8) to develop cervical carcinoma carrying HPV16 DNA. By contrast, there was no excess risk for Human Papillomavirus 16-seropositive women to develop cervical carcinoma devoid of HPV16 DNA. Prediagnostic HPV16 seropositivity was strongly correlated with later HPV16 DNA positivity of the tumour (P<0.001) and prediagnostic HPV18 seropositivity correlated with HPV18 DNA in the tumour (P<0.03). The link between prediagnostic seropositivity and type of viral DNA in the cancer implies that the carcinogenic effect of infection with these viruses is dependent on persistent presence of type-specific viral DNA

Prevalence of human papillomavirus cervical infection in an Italian asymptomatic population

BACKGROUND: In the last decade many studies have definitely shown that human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the major cause of cervical carcinogenesis and, in the last few years, HPV testing has been proposed as a new and more powerful tool for cervical cancer screening. This issue is now receiving considerable attention in scientific and non scientific press and HPV testing could be considered the most important change in this field since the introduction of cervical cytology. This paper reports our prevalence data of HPV infection collected in the '90s, while a follow up of these patients is ongoing. METHODS: For this study we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to search HPV DNA sequences in cervical cell scrapings obtained from 503 asymptomatic women attending regular cervical cancer screening program in the city of Genova, Italy. All patients were also submitted to a self-administered, standardized, questionnaire regarding their life style and sexual activity. On the basis of the presence of HPV DNA sequences women were separated into two groups: "infected" and "non infected" and a statistical analysis of the factors potentially associated with the infection group membership was carried out. RESULTS: The infection rate was 15.9% and the most frequent viral type was HPV 16. CONCLUSION: Our HPV positivity rate (15.9%) was consistent to that reported by other studies on European populations
