Pusat Pagelaran Seni di Kota Ngawi

Ngawi City is one of the areas that still keep the activities and efforts to preserve art activities, which will continue to grow. because it is always held annual activities as a form of art conservation activities as well as a means of tourism to attract domestic and international tourists. so it takes place to adapt and support the arts activities, considering the activities that are always implemented, but the City of Ngawi itself has not had a special building of art. With the building of this special arts building, artists will be more readily available at the training ground and have a place to perform. Keywords: Art activities center, preserve, art, Ngawi City

PERBANDINGAN ANTARA NILAI RASIO NEUTROFIL LIMFOSIT (NLCR) PADA ANAK DENGAN DEMAM DENGUE DAN DEMAM BERDARAH DENGUE

Latar belakang: Infeksi virus dengue pada manusia mengakibatkan spektrum manifestasi klinis yang bervariasi. Kriteria WHO (2011), terdapat beberapa hasil pemeriksaan darah seperti leukosit, trombosit, hematokrit yang berperan penting dalam perjalanan klinis infeksi dengue. Didukung penelitian sebelumnya mengenai NLCR sebagai prediktor atau marker inflamasi. Tujuan: mengetahui perbedaan antara nilai rasio neutrofil limfosit (NLCR) pada anak dengan DD dan anak dengan DBD. Metode: Penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan belah lintang (cross sectional). Pengambilan subyek dilakukan dengan cara consecutive sampling. Subyek penelitian adalah 46 pasien infeksi dengue yang dirawat inap di RSUP Dr. Kariadi dan RSND Semarang periode 2015-2017. Data yang dikumpulkan adalah usia, jenis kelamin, status gizi dan NLCR. Hasil: Terdapat perbedaan nilai rasio neutrofil limfosit yang bermakna secara statistik (p<0,001) antara pasien DD dan DBD. NLCR pada DBD (0,55 (±0,33 SB)) lebih rendah dari pada DD (1,8 (±1,23 SB)). Rerata neutrofil pada DBD (1530 sel/ul) lebih rendah dari pada DD (2384 sel/ul). Rerata limfosit pada DBD (3251 sel/ul) lebih tinggi dari pada DD (1659 sel/ul). Tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara umur (p=0,748), jenis kelamin (p=0,555) dan status gizi (p=0,289) terhadap kelompok DD dan DBD. Kesimpulan: Rerata nilai NLCR pada demam berdarah dengue lebih rendah dari pada demam dengue. Kata kunci: NLCR, demam dengue, demam berdarah dengue

Partisan Asymmetries in Online Political Activity

We examine partisan differences in the behavior, communication patterns and social interactions of more than 18,000 politically-active Twitter users to produce evidence that points to changing levels of partisan engagement with the American online political landscape. Analysis of a network defined by the communication activity of these users in proximity to the 2010 midterm congressional elections reveals a highly segregated, well clustered partisan community structure. Using cluster membership as a high-fidelity (87% accuracy) proxy for political affiliation, we characterize a wide range of differences in the behavior, communication and social connectivity of left- and right-leaning Twitter users. We find that in contrast to the online political dynamics of the 2008 campaign, right-leaning Twitter users exhibit greater levels of political activity, a more tightly interconnected social structure, and a communication network topology that facilitates the rapid and broad dissemination of political information.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures, 6 table

Reasoning About a Service-oriented Programming Paradigm

This paper is about a new way for programming distributed applications: the service-oriented one. It is a concept paper based upon our experience in developing a theory and a language for programming services. Both the theoretical formalization and the language interpreter showed us the evidence that a new programming paradigm exists. In this paper we illustrate the basic features it is characterized by

Integrated Information System for Early Detection of Maternal Risk Factors Based on Continuum of Care Approach of Mother and Toddler Cohorts

Objectives: The aim of this study is to demonstrate how an integrated information system of mother and toddler cohorts can be developed as a basis of the continuum of care approach that subsequently can be used as the basis of early detection of risk factors of maternal mortality. Methods: This research was carried out qualitatively. The data was collected through three techniques: in-depth interviews, focus group discussion, and document studies at six public health centers located in four sub-districts of Surabaya, Indonesia. This research was conducted from 2016 to 2018. Results: The data collected from this research has become a basis input data requirement analysis for an integrated mother and toddler cohort information system.The system accommodates all the variables in each period of pre-marriage, pregnancy, labor, infancy and toddlerhood. The system facilitates healthcare workers to retrieve data and information related to mother and toddler health status. Conclusions: The availability of various pieces of information enables the health status of mothers and toddlers to be monitored thoroughly throughout their long-life cycle. This continuum of care approach is beneficial in the early detection and management of risk factors of maternal mortality, such as pregnancy complications as well as childbirth and postpartum complications

Locally advanced adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinomas of the cervix compared to squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix in gynecologic oncology group trials of cisplatin-based chemoradiation

OBJECTIVE: Conflicting results have been reported for adeno- and adenosquamous carcinomas of the cervix with respect to their response to therapy and prognosis. The current study sought to evaluate impact of adeno- and adenosquamous histology in the randomized trials of primary cisplatin-based chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical cancer. METHODS: Patients with adeno- and adenosquamous cervical carcinomas were retrospectively studied and compared to squamous cell carcinomas in GOG trials of chemoradiation. RESULTS: Among 1671 enrolled in clinical trials of chemoradiation, 182 adeno- and adenosquamous carcinomas were identified (10.9%). A higher percentage of adeno- and adenosquamous carcinomas were stage IB2 (27.5% versus 20.0%) and fewer had stage IIIB (21.4% versus 28.6%). The mean tumor size was larger for squamous than adeno- and adenosquamous. Adeno- and adenosquamous carcinomas were more often poorly differentiated (46.2% versus 26.8%). When treated with radiation therapy alone, the 70 patients with adeno- and adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix showed a statistically poorer overall survival (p=0.0499) compared to the 647 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. However, when treated with radiation therapy with concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy, the 112 patients with adeno- and adenosquamous carcinomas had a similar overall survival (p=0.459) compared the 842 patients with squamous cell carcinoma. Adverse effects to treatment were similar across histologies. CONCLUSION: Adeno- and adenosquamous carcinomas of the cervix are associated with worse overall survival when treated with radiation alone but with similar progression-free and overall survival compared to squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix when treated with cisplatin based chemoradiation

Problem Solving Strategies and Metacognitive Skills for Gifted Students in Middle School

This study is conducted to investigate if the designed four-step method strategy (GEAR strategy adapted from Polya, 1973) in solving math problems has improved students’ performance scores and enhanced the metacognitive skills of gifted students. The respondents of this study include middle school gifted students who took math eight course in the school year 2013-2014 at Westdale Middle School in East Baton Rouge Parish School System. There are four classes of math eight gifted students who participated in the study. The classes were chosen randomly for experimental and controlled group and were equalized on the basis of the pre-test results of the Module 1 Edusoft Test and the Metacognitive Activities Inventory (MCAI) questionnaire form. During the 4-week period, the experimental group received GEAR strategy while the controlled group used any method they had learned in solving math word problems systematically or nonsystematical way. After the 4-week training period, the results of paired-sample t-test showed that the experimental group’s post-test scores on Module 2 Edusoft test have increased but not overwhelmingly, however, there is a significant difference of their MCAI post-test. The results imply that GEAR strategy does affect the metacognitive skills of middle school gifted students in problem solving and creates a marginal improvement on their classroom performance. This study provides the discussions, implications, and suggestions
