Actor Ideology and Public Perception of Sand Mining Impacts on Rural Galunggung Mountain

Pasca erupsi, kawasan Gunung Galunggung merupakan salah satu kawasan yang menjadi arena besar pertarungan kepentingan antara pemerintah, masyarakat dan swasta. Objek pasir yang berlimpah menjadikan pertambangan skala besar hadir dan berimplikasi secara esensial terhadap kehidupan masyarakat lokal yang tidak hanya berada dekat dengan kawasan pertambangan, namun juga berada jauh dengan lokasi pertambangan. Terlebih diketahui bahwa ideologi masyarakat yang menekankan pada kesejahteraan dan populisme, berbanding terbalik dengan ideologi swasta dan pemerintah yang menekankan pada profit dan pembangunan. Dampak negatif dan positif aktivitas pertambangan mulai secara nyata dirasakan oleh masyarakat, diantaranya seperti degradasi kualitas air, tingkat pendapatan atau konflik yang secara krusial merepresentasikan respons masyarakat terhadap keberadaan Perusahaan pertambangan pasir yang telah hampir tiga puluh tahun mengeruk kawasan ini.

Hubungan antara Kecerdasan Emosi dengan Agresivitas pada Atlet Futsal

One of the factors that contribute to the athlete\u27s perfomance is his emotional state. Athletes who are emotionally unstable tend to be more easily expressed aggression in front of opponents. This research aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intellegence and aggressiveness among futsal athlete. It was hypothesized that there a negative relationship between emotional intelligence and aggressiveness. There were 111 futsal athletes of University X from many faculties in this research. Data analysis using Product Moment correlation technique from Pearson showed rxy=-0.488 with p<0,01 pointing out that there is significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and aggressiveness among futsal athlete. That result proved that hypothesis was accepted

Nombre chromosomique et caryotype de Cistus Ladanifer subsp. Africanus Dansereau (Cistaceae)

L’approche caryologique de Cistus ladanifer subsp. africanus Dansereau (Cistaceae) rapportée pour la première fois sur des populations du Maroc, a mis en évidence le nombre et la formule chromosomiques avec 2n = 2x = 18 = 10 m + 4 sm + 4 st ; l’existence d’un phénomène d’endomitose fréquent et la présence à la fois de cellules à chromosomes en croix et de cellules à chromosomes normaux et ceci dans un même méristème. Aussi, les deux variétés, différentes par leurs sécrétions aromatiques volatiles, ont des caryotypes similaires.The kariological approach of Cistus ladanifer subsp. africanus Dansereau (Cistaceae), reported for the fi rst time on populations of Morocco, highlighted the chromosomal number and formula (2n = 2x =18 = 10 m + 4 sm + 4 st); the existence of frequent endomitosis phenomenon’s. We have also noticed that in the same root we can fi nd two different shapes of chromosome: normal and in cross ones. Moreover, the two varieties which differ from their volatile aromatic secretions have the same karyotype

Influence of Micro-Cantilever Geometry and Gap on Pull-in Voltage

In this paper, we study the behaviour of a microcantilever beam under electrostatic actuation using finite difference method. This problem has a lot of applications in MEMS based devices like accelerometers, switches and others. In this paper, we formulated the problem of a cantilever beam with proof mass at its end and carried out the finite difference solution. we studied the effects of length, width, and the gap size on the pull-in voltage using data that are available in the literature. Also, the stability limit is compared with the single degree of freedom commonly used in the earlier literature as an approximation to calculate the pull-in voltage.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions (http://irevues.inist.fr/tima-editions

Symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents with seizures in Irbid, Northern Jordan

AbstractIn Jordan, individuals with epilepsy commonly attend neuropsychiatric clinics. The objective of this study was to assess the psychosocial outcome of epilepsy among adolescents. The study included 101 epileptic adolescents who attended the neurology clinic at the Princess Basma Teaching Hospital in Northern Jordan and 101 non-epileptic controls. Sociodemographic characteristics and all relevant clinical data were collected through interviewing the cases and controls. Identification of the symptoms of anxiety and depression was made according to DSM-IV criteria. The patients were age and sex matched with the controls. The controls had achieved a significantly better education ( >12 years education) than the patients with epilepsy. The adolescents with epilepsy were also shown to be disadvantaged in their living circumstances. Some of them were dependent on their parents in some daily physical activities, such as bathing, which might be a sign of overprotection by their parents. Those with epilepsy had a significantly higher tendency to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression than the control group. Moreover these psychiatric symptoms, especially anxiety symptoms, were more likely to happen when seizures had not been properly medically controlled. Overprotective parental behaviour towards their ill children could also delay their psychosocial maturation. Therefore, counselling of patients and parents about epilepsy is an important factor in the control of seizures and their sequelae
