Kepustakaan : 34 (1977 - 2013) Diponegoro University Faculty of Public Health Master’s Study Program in Public Health Majoring in Health Management Information System 2014 ABSTRACT Deru Marah Laut Design of Assessment Information System of Dental Nursing Care Service Practice to Support Objectivity of Student Practice Assessment (A Study at School of Dental Nursing of Health Polytechnic of Health Ministry in Bandung) xvi + 165 pages + 17 tables + 52 figures + 7 appendices Assessment of dental nursing care service practice at School of Dental Nursing (SoDN) of Health Polytechnic of Health Ministry in Bandung was done manually (paper-based) by using various forms of Assessment Performance (AP) and reporting. This condition accounted for some problems in collecting and managing data, and in presenting information that were needed by lecturers, students, and others. In addition, these problems could reduce objectivity of practice assessment. The aim of this study was to result design of assessment information system of dental nursing care service practice that could support objectivity of practice assessment at SoDN of Bandung Health Polytechnic. This was an explorative study by conducting indepth interview and analysing secondary data. Respondents consisted of four lecturers/instructors, three managers, and three students of level III. Data were collected qualitatively using case-study approach by investigating respondents’ experiences and documents that were used to do an activity of dental nursing care service practice. The results of this research showed that design of information system supporting objectivity of practice assessment of dental nursing care service basically replaced activities of data capture and data management from paper-based to be computer based using inter-face web that could be accessed through various hardware connected to server network. As a result, it could be accessed online by users at a management level. As a suggestion, the resulted design needs to be followed up by developing the system in order to be utilised and performed further analyses to make sure that a developed system runs in accordance with expectation and is evaluated to do further development.

Linear and nonlinear market correlations: characterizing financial crises and portfolio optimization

Pearson correlation and mutual information based complex networks of the day-to-day returns of US S&P500 stocks between 1985 and 2015 have been constructed in order to investigate the mutual dependencies of the stocks and their nature. We show that both networks detect qualitative differences especially during (recent) turbulent market periods thus indicating strongly fluctuating interconnections between the stocks of different companies in changing economic environments. A measure for the strength of nonlinear dependencies is derived using surrogate data and leads to interesting observations during periods of financial market crises. In contrast to the expectation that dependencies reduce mainly to linear correlations during crises we show that (at least in the 2008 crisis) nonlinear effects are significantly increasing. It turns out that the concept of centrality within a network could potentially be used as some kind of an early warning indicator for abnormal market behavior as we demonstrate with the example of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. Finally, we apply a Markowitz mean variance portfolio optimization and integrate the measure of nonlinear dependencies to scale the investment exposure. This leads to significant outperformance as compared to a fully invested portfolio.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures, Phys. Rev. E, accepte

Water-Power in the East

The article discusses "The Real Meaning of Conservation", "The Situation in New York", "Too Much Water and Too Little". The author mentions that "Conservation of water-power as it exists in actual practise does not mean the locking up of water-power against the public. It means the throwing open of that power to full development - dry season as well as rainy, not just a tenth of the possible power, but ten-tenths of the possible power; not just to the profit of one per cent of the population or two or three units of capital, but to the profit of every living soul in the State where that water-power exists. Conservation is not demanding that water-power be conserved in the West for the East, but that water-power be conserved in the West for the West, and in the East for the East.

Time series with tailored nonlinearities

It is demonstrated how to generate time series with tailored nonlinearities by inducing well-defined constraints on the Fourier phases. Correlations between the phase information of adjacent phases and (static and dynamic) measures of nonlinearities are established and their origin is explained. By applying a set of simple constraints on the phases of an originally linear and uncorrelated Gaussian time series, the observed scaling behavior of the intensity distribution of empirical time series can be reproduced. The power law character of the intensity distributions being typical for, e.g., turbulence and financial data can thus be explained in terms of phase correlations

Einflussfaktoren auf den Credit Spread von Unternehmensanleihen

Entgegen früherer Studien, die darauf hinweisen, dass der gesamte Credit Spread eines Bonds durch das mit diesem Bond verbundene Kreditrisiko induziert ist, zeigen neuere empirische Untersuchungen, dass neben Kreditrisiken noch weitere Faktoren die Höhe des Credit Spreads determinieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit bestätigt diese Erkenntnisse auf einem anderen Weg als die bisher gemachten Forschungsarbeiten, welche üblicherweise auf Basis einer empirischen Dekomposition von Credit Spreads den Einfluss verschiedener Faktoren untersuchen. Anhand eines Samples Euro-denominierter Corporate Bonds wird gezeigt, dass eine modelltheoretische Bewertung von Anleihen nach dem Barwertkalkül auf Basis ratingorientierter Zinsstrukturkurven zu Bepreisungsfehlern führt, welche mit schlechter werdender Ratingeinschätzung ansteigen und durch das makroökonomische Umfeld beeinflusst sind. Dadurch werden zum einen die Grenzen der in Theorie und Praxis weit verbreiteten barwertigen Bewertungslogik von Anleihen auf Basis ratingorientierter Zinsstrukturkurven dargelegt. Zum anderen wird demonstriert, dass die Ratingeinschätzung eines Bonds bzw. Bondemittenten für Investoren nur einen bepreisungsrelevanten Faktor unter weiteren darstellt

Distribuição das Diatomáceas Modernas nos Sedimentos da Baía de Guanabara e Áreas Oceânicas, Rio de Janeiro (Brasil)

One hundred and fifty three superficial sediments were collected in Guanabara Bay to physical-chemistry and diatom analyses in the ambit to Monitoring Project (CENPES/PETROBRAS). A total of 146 taxa of diatoms were identified where the most frequent taxa in Guanabara Bay were Amphora spp., Coscinodiscus spp. and Navicula yarrensis var. yarrensis. These species are potentially harmful that might harm fisheries and mariculture during blooms. The values of ecological indexes like richness and diversity followed the estuarine gradient were the higher values were found in the mouth and de low in the inner part. The multivariate analyzes permitted recognize seven diatom assemblages in the bay. The DCA analyze shows the most influence in the distribution of assemblages were the depth and pH. The diatom assemblages analyze proved to be an efficient tool in the environmental diagnosis of Guanabara Bay.Cento e ciquenta e três amostras de sedimento superficial da Baía de Guanabara foram coletadas durante o Projeto de Monitoramento Ambiental (CENPES/PETROBRAS). Foram identificados 146 táxons de diatomáceas onde as espécies mais abundantes foram Amphora spp., Coscinodiscus spp. e Navicula yarrensis var. yarrensis. Estas espécies identificadas são potencialmente tóxicas e podem prejudicar peixes e a maricultura durante períodos de florescência. Os índices ecológicos de riqueza e diversidade acompanharam o gradiente estuarino sendo maior na entrada da baía e baixos na região interna. As análises multivariadas permitiram reconhecer sete assembléias de diatomáceas na baía. As análises em DCA mostrou que os parâmetros ambientais mais influentes na distribuição das assembléias foram a profundidade e o pH. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as assembléias de diatomáceas são uma importante ferramenta na caracterização ambiental da Baía de Guanabara
