Evaluasi Kebijakan Pembangunan Puskesmas Pembantu di Propinsi Kalimantan Tengah
Background: The objective of health development is improvingcommunity health status through increasing public access tohealth services. One of strategy is by supporting facilities forhealth service by developing auxiliary health center for allremote district at Central Kalimantan Province. CentralKalimantan Province with 1,9 million of population, consistedof 14 district, 1348 villages, 805 auxiliary health center. It meansthat only 59% village have facilities for health service such asauxiliary health center.Objectives: This research aimed to know how formulationprocess and implementation of policy of developing auxiliaryhealth center by using provincial funds.Method: It was descriptive case study using mainly methodqualitative designed by semi structured in-depth interview anddocument study. Research subject is stakeholder at levelprovince and chosen district. This research executed inProvince Public Health Service of Central Kalimantan and onechosen district.Result: Development of secondary health center in CentralKalimantan Province is the realization of Central KalimantanProvince local decree number 12 and 13 year 2005 fulfilmenton RPJPD and RPJMD. Initially, the budgeting concept wasplanned by Tugas Pembantuan mechanism, but this mechanismwas not agreed. This scheme was a top down program fromprovince government. Problems occurred in the implementationare 1). Bad monitoring, 2). Lack of reporting by developer, 3).Remote location of, 4). Varieties in cost of production, 5).Shortage health care workforce, 6). Equipments unmatchedthe need of health care provider. Evaluation is executed, butonly concerning physical progress problem. In the meantime,there was increased allocation of DAK fund in each district.Conclusion: Development of auxiliary health center in CentralKalimantan Province which funded by province fund, is notrequired by district. There was no agenda surroundingdevelopment of auxiliary health center. The role of stakeholderin compilation of agenda setting for this policy was only anormative role.Keyword.

Investigation of dielectric properties of LixNa₁₋xNbO₃ ceramics for x = 1 and x=4
The a.c. electrical response of LixNa₁₋xNbO₃ (LNN) solid solution in low frequency range (100 Hz–20 kHz) has been analysed as a function of temperature (300 K–750 K). A complex picture of the dependence of the studied properties on the chemical composition has been obtained. The data indicate the presence of relaxation and transport processes as well as their thermally activated character.Досліджено електричний відгук в змінному полі твердих розчинів LixNa₁₋xNbO₃ (LNN) як функцію температури (300 K–750 K) в низькочастотній області (100 Hz–20 kHz). Отримано комплексну картину залежності досліджених величин від хімічного складу. Отримані дані свідчать про наявність релаксаційних і транспортних процесів та про тепловий характер їх активації
Spin-Boson Hamiltonian and Optical Absorption of Molecular Dimers
An analysis of the eigenstates of a symmetry-broken spin-boson Hamiltonian is
performed by computing Bloch and Husimi projections. The eigenstate analysis is
combined with the calculation of absorption bands of asymmetric dimer
configurations constituted by monomers with nonidentical excitation energies
and optical transition matrix elements. Absorption bands with regular and
irregular fine structures are obtained and related to the transition from the
coexistence to a mixing of adiabatic branches in the spectrum. It is shown that
correlations between spin states allow for an interpolation between absorption
bands for different optical asymmetries.Comment: 15 pages, revTeX, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Which assessment tools address the categories of the Brief ICF Core Set for Hand Conditions?
Introduction
The purpose of this study was to explore whether assessment tools address aspects that are relevant according to the Brief ICF Core Set for Hand Conditions (BICF-CS).
Methods
Assessment tools meant to assess functioning and/or environmental factors in adults with hand conditions were reviewed. MEDLINE and CINAHL databases, previously published reviews, the book Clinical Assessment Recommendations of the ASHT, and websites of assessment tools were used for the content comparison and linking to the 23 categories of the BICF-CS. The updated version of the linking rules was applied by two reviewers.
Results
Forty-six assessment tools, known within the areas of hand therapy and hand surgery, were linked to the 23 categories of the BICF-CS. Regarding Body functions and body structures, the categories that were most frequently addressed were b730 “Muscle power functions,” b280 “Sensation of pain,” b710 “Mobility of joint functions,” and s730 “Structure of upper extremity.” Regarding Activities and Participation, d440 “Fine hand use” was addressed mostly and 25 assessment tools (with a total of 146 items) were linked to this category. Regarding Environmental Factors, only one assessment tool was identified that could be linked to two categories. Fifteen points of discussion were encountered in the linking process.
Conclusions
Content comparison of 46 assessment tools revealed that 19 of the 23 categories of the BICF-CS were addressed. The environmental factors were hardly addressed
AGN and starbursts at high redshift: High resolution EVN radio observations of the Hubble Deep Field
We present deep, wide-field European VLBI Network (EVN) 1.6 GHz observations
of the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) region with a resolution of 0.025 arcseconds.
Above the 210 microJy/beam (5sigma) detection level, the EVN clearly detects
two radio sources in a field that encompasses the HDF and part of the Hubble
Flanking Fields (HFF). The sources detected are: VLA J123644+621133 (a z=1.013,
low-luminosity FR-I radio source located within the HDF itself) and VLA
J123642+621331 (a dust enshrouded, optically faint, z=4.424 starburst system).
A third radio source, J123646+621404, is detected at the 4sigma level. The VLBI
detections of all three sources suggest that most of the radio emission of
these particular sources (including the dusty starburst) is generated by an
embedded AGN.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure; Accepted by Astron. & Astrophys Letters ... See

Renyi-Wehrl entropies as measures of localization in phase space
We generalize the concept of the Wehrl entropy of quantum states which gives
a basis-independent measure of their localization in phase space. We discuss
the minimal values and the typical values of these R{enyi-Wehrl entropies for
pure states for spin systems. According to Lieb's conjecture the minimal values
are provided by the spin coherent states. Though Lieb's conjecture remains
unproven, we give new proofs of partial results that may be generalized for
other systems. We also investigate random pure states and calculate the mean
Renyi-Wehrl entropies averaged over the natural measure in the space of pure
quantum states.Comment: 18 pages, no figures, some improved versions of main proofs, added

Shuffling cards, factoring numbers, and the quantum baker's map
It is pointed out that an exactly solvable permutation operator, viewed as
the quantization of cyclic shifts, is useful in constructing a basis in which
to study the quantum baker's map, a paradigm system of quantum chaos. In the
basis of this operator the eigenfunctions of the quantum baker's map are
compressed by factors of around five or more. We show explicitly its connection
to an operator that is closely related to the usual quantum baker's map. This
permutation operator has interesting connections to the art of shuffling cards
as well as to the quantum factoring algorithm of Shor via the quantum order
finding one. Hence we point out that this well-known quantum algorithm makes
crucial use of a quantum chaotic operator, or at least one that is close to the
quantization of the left-shift, a closeness that we also explore
quantitatively.Comment: 12 pgs. Substantially elaborated version, including a new route to

Survey of Planetary Nebulae at 30 GHz with OCRA-p
We report the results of a survey of 442 planetary nebulae at 30 GHz. The
purpose of the survey is to develop a list of planetary nebulae as calibration
sources which could be used for high frequency calibration in future. For 41
PNe with sufficient data, we test the emission mechanisms in order to evaluate
whether or not spinning dust plays an important role in their spectra at 30
GHz.
The 30-GHz data were obtained with a twin-beam differencing radiometer,
OCRA-p, which is in operation on the Torun 32-m telescope. Sources were scanned
both in right ascension and declination. We estimated flux densities at 30 GHz
using a free-free emission model and compared it with our data.
The primary result is a catalogue containing the flux densities of 93
planetary nebulae at 30 GHz. Sources with sufficient data were compared with a
spectral model of free-free emission. The model shows that free-free emission
can generally explain the observed flux densities at 30 GHz thus no other
emission mechanism is needed to account for the high frequency spectra.Comment: 10 pages, 7 Postscript figures, to be published in A&
Geometry of the 3-Qubit State, Entanglement and Division Algebras
We present a generalization to 3-qubits of the standard Bloch sphere
representation for a single qubit and of the 7-dimensional sphere
representation for 2 qubits presented in Mosseri {\it et
al.}\cite{Mosseri2001}. The Hilbert space of the 3-qubit system is the
15-dimensional sphere , which allows for a natural (last) Hopf
fibration with as base and as fiber. A striking feature is, as in
the case of 1 and 2 qubits, that the map is entanglement sensitive, and the two
distinct ways of un-entangling 3 qubits are naturally related to the Hopf map.
We define a quantity that measures the degree of entanglement of the 3-qubit
state. Conjectures on the possibility to generalize the construction for higher
qubit states are also discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, final versio
