Innovative Green Technology for Sustainable Industrial Estate Development

Sustainable industrial development requires a balance between economic growth, equity and environment. Two major components of industrial development are energy and raw materials. To minimize the environmental impacts of energy and raw materials, important steps are required to deal with the green economy and global warming issues. The use of innovation technology to industrial gas emission is a preventive solution facing global warming. A research has been done in Industrial Estate in Cilegon (IEC) Banten province, Indonesia, to see how to reduce energy demand and encourage uses of more environmentally-friendly energy in the estate. Fossil energy needs in the industrial estate were analyzed to see the opportunities of energy saving and renewable energy development. The target to be achieved is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and improve the energy efficiency in the industrial park

Neural correlates of cognitive intervention in persons at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Cognitive training is an emergent approach that has begun to receive increased attention in recent years as a non-pharmacological, cost-effective intervention for Alzheimer's disease (AD). There has been increasing behavioral evidence regarding training-related improvement in cognitive performance in early stages of AD. Although these studies provide important insight about the efficacy of cognitive training, neuroimaging studies are crucial to pinpoint changes in brain structure and function associated with training and to examine their overlap with pathology in AD. In this study, we reviewed the existing neuroimaging studies on cognitive training in persons at risk of developing AD to provide an overview of the overlap between neural networks rehabilitated by the current training methods and those affected in AD. The data suggest a consistent training-related increase in brain activity in medial temporal, prefrontal, and posterior default mode networks, as well as increase in gray matter structure in frontoparietal and entorhinal regions. This pattern differs from the observed pattern in healthy older adults that shows a combination of increased and decreased activity in response to training. Detailed investigation of the data suggests that training in persons at risk of developing AD mainly improves compensatory mechanisms and partly restores the affected functions. While current neuroimaging studies are quite helpful in identifying the mechanisms underlying cognitive training, the data calls for future multi-modal neuroimaging studies with focus on multi-domain cognitive training, network level connectivity, and individual differences in response to training

Perancangan Bioskop di Kota Pontianak dengan Fasilitas Pendukung yang Rekreatif

Menonton film di bioskop saat ini telah menjadi sebuah kebutuhan bagi masyarakat seiring dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi penduduk. Bioskop saat ini tidak memiliki fasilitas pendukung yang bersifat rekreatif sehingga penonton tidak betah berlama-lama pada saat menunggu pemutaran film. Bioskop adalah suatu Perusahaan/USAha yang bergerak di dalam bidang pemutaran film untuk umum atau semua golongan masyarakat dengan pembayaran dilakukan pada tempat/bangunan tertentu. Dalam perkembangannya, gedung bioskop telah dilengkapi dengan berbagai fasilitas hiburan penunjang lainnya. Adapun fasilitas pendukung yang akan disediakan berupa game center, cafe, lounge dan smoking area. Perancangan gedung bioskop di Kota Pontianak ini mengutamakan perancangan sebuah bioskop dengan fasilitas pendukung yang bersifat rekreatif. Bangunan yang dirancang memiliki satu masa bangunan yang berbentuk persegi panjang mengikuti site yang akan dibangun. Bangunan memiliki fasilitas pendukung yang dapat membuat pengunjung merasa nyaman saat menunggu pemutaran film di bioskop. Interior bangunan dibuat dengan sedemikian rupa agar menghasilkan kualitas suara yang baik, furnitur di dalamnya juga diletakkan dengan jarak sesuai dengan penggunanya. Bahan penutup dinding dan plafon di dalamnya juga menggunakan bahan yang menyerap bunyi. Bentuk plafon dirancang agar tidak menghasilkan gema di dalam ruangan. Dengan demikian pengunjung akan merasa betah jika berada di bioskop

CHIGGERS (ACARINA, TROMBICULIDAE) OF MAXOMYS BARTELSII FOUND IN WEST JAVA, INDONESIA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES

A collection of chiggers infesting Maxomys bartelsii,a rat commonly found in the highlands of West and Central Java, was obtained during the extensive study of this particular rat species in 1970 - 1972 conducted by U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 Jakarta Detachment. Two of the seven chigger species identified are considered as new species and described in this paper. Diagnostic charactersand the Indonesian records of the other 5 species were included

Check List of the algae in Diyala River, Iraq

A total of 722 algal taxa are recorded in Diyala River by different authors. Most of the identification algae belong to three Divisions: Bacillariophyceae (367, 50.8%), Chlorophyceae (179, 24.8%), and Cyanophyceae (126, 17.5%)

Proses Pembelajaran Matematika Pada Anak Slow Learners (Lamban Belajar)

This research is aimed to find out the mathematics learning process in class includes readiness of teacher before learning process, implementation and evaluation and follow up. It was a qualitative research. The subjects were taken by purposive sampling. The subjects of this research were mathematics teacher. Data collection techniques in this research were interviews and observation. Technical validity of the data used is triangulation time. The data analysis technique used was consisted of data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results of this study were (1) teacher preparedness before learning process are by preparing syllabus, lesson plan (RPP), media and learning resources before the learning process begins. (2) the mathematics learning implementation in class done through three activities: pre activity, whilst activity and post activity (3) in evaluation and follow-up stage, teachers plan follow-up activities in the form of remedial learning, enrichment programs, counseling services for students (4) Factors and constraints experienced from slow learners child is may lose interest in the task and refused to resume the task
