Perbedaan Asupan Lemak, Lingkar Pinggang dan Persentase Lemak Tubuh pada Wanita Dislipidemia dan Non Dislipidemia
Differences of fat intake, waist circumference and percentage of bodt fat in dyslipidemia and non dyslipidemia adult women: Heart disease is the leading cause of death in several countries in the world . One of the major risk factors for heart disease is dyslipidemia . Dyslipidemia is a disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by an increase or decrease in plasma lipid fractions . Dyslipidemia has a strong relationship with the occurrence of central obesity . The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in the intake of fat , waist circumference and body fat percentage in dyslipidemia and non dyslipidemia adult women. This research is analytic study with cross sectional approach . The population in this study were adult women who examined their lipid profile in December 2013 in the Clinical Laboratory Cito Indraprasta Semarang . The total sample was 32 people . Independent test analysis of the differences using t-test for variables waist circumference and Mann Whitney test for variable fat intake and body fat percentage to 95 % and a significance level of 5% error. The results showed 17 adult women ( 53.1 % ) and 15 female adult dyslipidemia ( 46.9 % ) non- dyslipidemia. Average intake of fat, waist circumference and percentage body fat in adult women dyslipidemia higher than non dyslipidemia in adult women. Analysis of statistical tests showed difference in fat intake , waist circumference and body fat percentage in women adult dyslipidemia and non dyslipidemia (p value, respectively p = 0.002, p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0001
Critical success criteria for B2B E-commerce systems in Chinese medical supply chain.
The paper presents an exploratory investigation to determine and prioritise the critical success criteria, which can measure and guide the successful application and performance improvement of business to business e-commerce system (BBECS) in a medical supply chain's selling and buying functions, in the context of global business expansion. The research reveals that the buying and the selling functions have different prioritisations on the majority of the determined critical success measuring criteria. These criteria are categorised into three Critical Success Measuring Criteria Groups, for the selling and the buying functions, respectively, guiding medical supply chain members in harnessing the full advantage of a BBECS. For the selling function, the top critical success measuring criteria are as follows: integrating information searching/transmission and application processes, ensuring the reliability and timeliness of technical support, ensuring recognition and acceptance of e-commerce processes, displaying the organisation's business focus and product/service provisions online, securing a large scale/amount of business transactions, adjusting production outputs and inventory levels and having more registered users than competitors do. The top critical success measuring criteria for the buying function are as follows: securing the establishment of business relationships between businesses, displaying the measures ensuring mutual trust and cooperation online, ensuring employees' recognition of the benefit of e-commerce in increasing revenue, ensuring the contribution to the development and realisation of corporate strategy, achieving cost reduction for the organisation, making the purchase of famous brand products available/doable, securing a large scale/amount of business transactions, and ensuring the attainability of products/services at a lower price
IL-23 past, present, and future: a roadmap to advancing IL-23 science and therapy
Interleukin (IL)-23, an IL-12 cytokine family member, is a hierarchically dominant regulatory cytokine in a cluster of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. We review IL-23 biology, IL-23 signaling in IMIDs, and the effect of IL-23 inhibition in treating these diseases. We propose studies to advance IL-23 biology and unravel differences in response to anti–IL-23 therapy. Experimental evidence generated from these investigations could establish a novel molecular ontology centered around IL-23–driven diseases, improve upon current approaches to treating IMIDs with IL-23 inhibition, and ultimately facilitate optimal identification of patients and, thereby, outcomes
The narrative self, distributed memory, and evocative objects
In this article, I outline various ways in which artifacts are interwoven with autobiographical memory systems and conceptualize what this implies for the self. I first sketch the narrative approach to the self, arguing that who we are as persons is essentially our (unfolding) life story, which, in turn, determines our present beliefs and desires, but also directs our future goals and actions. I then argue that our autobiographical memory is partly anchored in our embodied interactions with an ecology of artifacts in our environment. Lifelogs, photos, videos, journals, diaries, souvenirs, jewelry, books, works of art, and many other meaningful objects trigger and sometimes constitute emotionally-laden autobiographical memories. Autobiographical memory is thus distributed across embodied agents and various environmental structures. To defend this claim, I draw on and integrate distributed cognition theory and empirical research in human-technology interaction. Based on this, I conclude that the self is neither defined by psychological states realized by the brain nor by biological states realized by the organism, but should be seen as a distributed and relational construct
Planning for Sustainability in Small Municipalities: The Influence of Interest Groups, Growth Patterns, and Institutional Characteristics
How and why small municipalities promote sustainability through planning efforts is poorly understood. We analyzed ordinances in 451 Maine municipalities and tested theories of policy adoption using regression analysis.We found that smaller communities do adopt programs that contribute to sustainability relevant to their scale and context. In line with the political market theory, we found that municipalities with strong environmental interests, higher growth, and more formal governments were more likely to adopt these policies. Consideration of context and capacity in planning for sustainability will help planners better identify and benefit from collaboration, training, and outreach opportunities
Future challenges of occupational safety and health policy-making in the UK
Understanding the changing landscape of occupational safety and health (OSH) regulation and standards and its implications are of central importance for ensuring that OSH outcomes are not compromised and the needs of different types of organizations are met. It is also important for developing appropriate strategies to anticipate and deal with future challenges for OSH policy-making. This paper draws on findings from two qualitative studies with key OSH stakeholders in the UK that were conducted as part of a research programme funded the Institution of Occupational Safety & Health. The aim of the first study was to elicit the views of key stakeholders on changes in the current OSH landscape so as to understand the nature and implications of these changes. The second study explored stakeholder perspectives on how to secure the optimal OSH landscape in the UK by addressing key future challenges for OSH policy-making
