Changing CBR Concepts in Indonesia: Learning from Programme Evaluation

[Excerpt] CBR programmes are founded on basic ideas or concepts that vary significantly between countries and organizations. These ideas and concepts change through time as new information is obtained. Often trial-and-error experiences prove that the initial ideas were wrong. One of the best ways of examining the effectiveness of CBR programmes, and the concepts on which they are based, is through evaluation. This chapter draws on our experiences in Solo, Indonesia at the Community Based Rehabilitation Development and Training Centre (CBRDTC) to describe a process where changes in programmes and concepts have resulted from evaluation. This will hopefully help others to learn ways to change their own ideas, concepts and CBR programmes

The Impact of Female Attractiveness in Spy

This thesis discusses the impact of female attractiveness on the female character which is related to the way Spy sees attractive women and what the impacts to them are. There are criteria for female attractiveness that are displayed by the film such as physical attributes and traits. In order to show the criteria of attractive women and the responses that they get, I use stereotyping theory. Women who are physically attractive get better treatment, but in order to get that, they have to dress with a certain style that men favor. For the women who are considered as unattractive, they will be ignored by men. In conclusion, I find out that the appearance and the attitude of the female character still depend on men's view. Women can also be seen as attractive from their characteristics. Attractiveness also has huge influences on the way women get treated by men

EFEKTIVITAS PEMBERIAN EKSTRAK PHALERIA MACROCARPA TERHADAP PENINGKATAN EKSPRESI GRANZYME SEL MONONUKLEAR DAN HAMBATAN PERKEMBANGAN DIAMETER TUMOR PADA MENCIT SWISS DENGAN KARSINOMA EPIDERMOID KULIT

Background : Polyphenols in Phaleria macrocarpa (Mahkota Dewa) can stimulate Interferon-γ production in some immunocyt population and increase Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyt (CTL) and Natural Killer Cell (NK-Cell) activity. This process can be recognised from granzyme expression as a response to malignant cells and resistance of clinically tumor development which can be measured from tumor growth diameter of skin epidermoid carcinoma. Objective of this study is to prove the effect of gradation dose of Phaleria macrocarpa and combine with chemotherapy to mononuclear cells granzyme expression and tumor growth of skin epidermoid carcinoma. Material and Method : A randomized pre and post test only control group design in 36 Swiss mices were divided into 5 groups. The first group is control group, group-2 was treated with 0,035 mg (0,175 ml) Phaleria macrocarpa/day, group-3 was treated 0,0715 mg (0,36 ml) /day, group-4 was treated with paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and cisplatin 50 mg/m2, and group 5 was treated with 0,0715 mg (0,36 ml) Phaleria macrocarpa/day combined with paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and cysplatin 50 mg/m2. All mice were inducted for epidermoid carcinoma with 9, 12-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA) and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) topically. Tumor size diameter were measured before and after the administration of Phaleria macrocarpa, paclitaxel and cysplatin, and combined for 9 weeks. Granzyme expressions were measured at the end of treatment. Kruskal Wallis test and Man Whitney test was used to evaluate the progression of tumor diameter size and Man Whitney Test was used to analyze granzyme expression. Spearman’s correlation test was performed to analyze the correlation between granzyme expression and diameter alteration of tumor size. Results : There was significant difference in granzyme expression variable and diameter alteration of tumor growth among groups with control. There was significant inhibition of tumor growth and increased of granzyme expression in group-5 compared with control group, group-2, group-3, and group-4. There was significant strongly negative correlation between granzyme expression and diameter alteration of tumor size (r=-0,668). Conclusion : Phaleria macrocarpa is able to increase the granzyme expressions of tumor cells and inhibit tumor mass progression. Key words : Phaleria macrocarpa, granzyme expression, tumor diameter, skin epidermoid carcinoma

Katniss as a Representation of Girl Power in Hunger Games Trilogy

This study is about the representation of girl power in Hunger Games trilogy.Hunger Games trilogy shows how women that are represented by the main character “Katniss”, can do what they want regardless others people opinion. It shows that Katniss as the main character lives in a society that does not have roles between man and woman by showing some action through her characterisctics in the story that against the culture and society. She is able to do anything without thinking about what man or woman should do. Thus,this thesis aims at showing girl power characteristics that are being represented by Katniss. Therefore, I will analyze girl power characteristics in Katniss by using girl power concept. Moreover through this analysis, I find that there are some girl power characteristics that are being represented by Katniss. First, she is an independent woman. Second, she is equally depends on her “brains and brawn”. Third, Katniss is a self-determined woman. For the result of the analysis, it can be concluded that Katniss is the representation of girl power that is shown through her action, words, and thoughts

Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Optimization

Technology has been one of the critical factors behind the industrial revolution. Companies must now use technological assistance and data processing to produce faster and more efficient business processes. Our case study is using HDPE Plastic Company, which is in Surabaya, is trying to handle the increasing frequency of shipments. Due to the rising frequency of shipments, the company is often overwhelmed in handling its loads because no system can quickly determine the shipping route. Moreover, other route-determining factors, such as shipment weight, truck capacity, and unique delivery hour requests, manually add to the routes complexity. The system will run the K-Means cluster function from the database to cluster all customers in the company. This cluster is one of the factors determining the fitness value in the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. After the order data is obtained, the system will use the PSO algorithm to determine the delivery agenda for each truck. The determining factors of PSO include customer location, priority hours of customer requests, order weight, and loading capacity of different types of trucks. After obtaining the delivery table of each truck, the system will use the help of Google Directions Service to determine the routing order from each truck. The result of this system is a delivery route optimization system that can provide route selection recommendations for each truck in the company. The system is also able to sort shipments with various shipping priority restrictions. From the test results, the PSO algorithm in the system can produce routes with less total distance traveled and less travel duration than the routes generated manually by the employees in the company
