Lewisa Fourta Putri, 1310841009, Transparansi Dalam Pengelolaan Keuangan Nagari Sumani Kecamatan X Koto Singkarak Kabupaten Solok, Jurusan Administrasi Publik, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik, Universitas Andalas, Padang, 2020. Dibimbing oleh : Dr. Syamsurizaldi, S.IP, SE, MM dan Dr. Ria Ariany, M.Si. Skripsi terdiri dari 110 halaman dengan referensi 7 buku teori, 6 buku metode, 6 skripsi dan jurnal, 1 Peraturan Bupati, 1 Peraturan Menteri, 1 Undang-Undang, dan 2 website internet. Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh munculnya persoalan dalam mengemukakan keterbukaan informasi dalam pengelolaan keuangan nagari. Dalam rangka mewujudkan transparansi dalam pengelolaan keuangan nagari yang baik, Pemerintah Nagari sudah melaksanakannya sesuai dengan aturan yang berlaku, namun masih terdapat ada nya temuan dan persoalan mengenai keterbukaan informasi dalam pengelolaan keuangan nagari Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara dan dokumentasi. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori transparansi menurut Mardiasmo yang dilihat dari informatif, keterbukaan dan pengungkapan. Teknik keabsahan data yang digunakan adalah triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa transparansi dalam pengelolaan keuangan nagari di Nagari Sumani belum sepenuhnya berjalan dengan maksimal. Pada informatif(pemberian informasi), Pemerintah Nagari Sumani sudah menerapkan informasi mengenai pengelolaan keuangan nagari melalui rembuk jorong, musna serta musrenbang, namun masih terdapat keterlambatan dalam pelaporan anggaran dari pemerintah nagari. Sedangkan pada keterbukaan informasi, Pemerintah Nagari sudah bersifat terbuka dalam tahap pengelolaan keuangan nagari, namun dalam mengakses informasi masih ada kendala tidak adanya website membuat penyebarluasan informasi yang ada di Nagari tidak dapat diakses oleh setiap pengguna informasi. Dan untuk pengungkapan, pada tahap pengelolaan keuangan nagari masyarakat hanya dapat mengakses informasi melalui spanduk secara umum, serta masyarakat juga bisa ikut mengawasi jalannya kegiatan sedangkan untuk stakeholder maupun pihak lain yang membutuhkan informasi bisa datang ke kantor wali nagari

Follow-up in newborn hearing screening – a systematic review

Introduction The quality and efficiency of newborn hearing screening programs (NHS) rely heavily on appropriate follow-up. The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing recommends a follow-up rate of more than 95% of infants who fail the initial hearing screening. However, a 70% benchmark is considered to be more feasible. This high loss to follow-up (LTF) rate acts as a threat to the overall success of NHS programs. The objective of the study was to identify and examine the reported rates of LTF, attributed reasons for LTF and strategies undertaken to reduce LTF. Methods Using a systematic search, articles published between 2005 to December 2015 were identified from PubMed/Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), Scopus, Ovid, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library. To be included in the review, the study should be exploring the loss to follow-up or drop-out rate in newborn hearing screening programs and be published in an indexed peer-reviewed journal in the English language. The main outcome measures were overall rate of LTF, factors leading to LTF and measures adopted to overcome LTF. Results 53 articles were short-listed for data extraction. Out of these, 27 were single-centre studies, 19 were multi-centre, 3 compared multiple databases, and 4 used survey-based methods. Overall LTF rates of 20% in single-centre and 21% in multiple-centre studies were observed. Educational disparity and lack of adequate knowledge among parents were associated with LTF. The most commonly used strategy to overcome LTF suggested by studies was the use of an adequate data management system. Conclusion This review is a novel attempt to explore the LTF among NHS studies, reasons for LTF and strategies to reduce LTF. This review can act as a basis for planning and execution of effective NHS programs

From sparse to dense and from assortative to disassortative in online social networks

Inspired by the analysis of several empirical online social networks, we propose a simple reaction-diffusion-like coevolving model, in which individuals are activated to create links based on their states, influenced by local dynamics and their own intention. It is shown that the model can reproduce the remarkable properties observed in empirical online social networks; in particular, the assortative coefficients are neutral or negative, and the power law exponents are smaller than 2. Moreover, we demonstrate that, under appropriate conditions, the model network naturally makes transition(s) from assortative to disassortative, and from sparse to dense in their characteristics. The model is useful in understanding the formation and evolution of online social networks.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures and 2 table

Learning sculpts the spontaneous activity of the resting human brain

The brain is not a passive sensory-motor analyzer driven by environmental stimuli, but actively maintains ongoing representations that may be involved in the coding of expected sensory stimuli, prospective motor responses, and prior experience. Spontaneous cortical activity has been proposed to play an important part in maintaining these ongoing, internal representations, although its functional role is not well understood. One spontaneous signal being intensely investigated in the human brain is the interregional temporal correlation of the blood-oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal recorded at rest by functional MRI (functional connectivity-by-MRI, fcMRI, or BOLD connectivity). This signal is intrinsic and coherent within a number of distributed networks whose topography closely resembles that of functional networks recruited during tasks. While it is apparent that fcMRI networks reflect anatomical connectivity, it is less clear whether they have any dynamic functional importance. Here, we demonstrate that visual perceptual learning, an example of adult neural plasticity, modifies the resting covariance structure of spontaneous activity between networks engaged by the task. Specifically, after intense training on a shape-identification task constrained to one visual quadrant, resting BOLD functional connectivity and directed mutual interaction between trained visual cortex and frontalparietal areas involved in the control of spatial attention were significantly modified. Critically, these changes correlated with the degree of perceptual learning. We conclude that functional connectivity serves a dynamic role in brain function, supporting the consolidation of previous experience
