Evaluation of condylar structures on panoramic radiographs in adolescent patients with coeliac disease

Background: Coeliac disease (CD) is a common disorder that usually originates from calcium malabsorption. Thus, it is accepted that patients with CD have lo- wer bone mineral density than that of healthy individuals. The aim of this study was to assess condylar height, width, area, and perimeter on digital panoramic radiographs in patients with CD.  Materials and methods: Panoramic radiographs obtained from 44 patients with CD were age- and sex-matched with 44 Class 1 (ANB: 2 ± 2°) patients, and out- comes were analysed. Radiographs were digitised using Image J software, and condylar height, width, area, and perimeter were compared.  Results: Condylar area (3.66 ± 1.02 cm2), perimeter (9.29 ± 1.38 cm), and height (2.69 ± 0.46 cm) values were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the control group than those in the patient group (area: 2.52 ± 0.63 cm2, perimeter: 8.47 ± 1.42 cm, height: 2.51 ± 0.37 cm), whereas width (coeliac: 2.83 ± 0.63 cm, control: 3.00 ± 0.59 cm) did not differ between the groups (p > 0.05).  Conclusions: These outcomes may be due to the low bone density of patients with CD. A controlled trial conducted using a larger sample is needed to support and extend these data.

Analisis Kerjasama Antar Siswa Kelas XII Iis 2 di SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kerjasama spontan, kontrak, dan tradisional antar siswa kelas XII IIS 2 di SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerjasama spontan antar siswa telah dilaksanakan dengan baik, namun belum sempurna karena masih ada siswa yang kerjasama spontannya kurang baik. Selain itu kerjasama kontrak antar siswa sudah tercapai dengan baik, hal ini ditandai dengan adanya kerjasama antar siswa saat melaksanakan piket kelas dan adanya kemauan untuk meminjamkan perlengkapan sholat kepada siswa lain. Sedangkan kerjasama tradisional antar siswa juga telah berlangsung dengan baik diantara mereka terlihat saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain seperti halnya jajan dikantin, selalu ada salah satu siswa yang mengajak teman lainnya untuk jajan dikantin bersama, dan ajakan itu mendapat respon yang baik oleh teman lainnya hingga dapat dikatakan bahwa interaksi tersebut dapat mempengaruhi perilaku individu lainnya hingga terciptalah hubungan sosial diantara mereka. Kata Kunci : Analisis kerjasama, Kerjasama antar siswa. Abstrac: This study aimed to describe the spontaneous cooperation, contracts, and traditional inter IIS 2 class XII students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak. The method used is qualitative approach. The results showed that spontaneous cooperation among students have been executed better, but not perfect because there are students who are less well spontaneous cooperation. Besides the cooperation contract between the students has been reached with the good, it is characterized by cooperation between students when carrying picket class and their prayer materials to other students. While the traditional cooperation between students has also been going well between them visible influence each other as well as snacks at canteen, there is always one of the students who invited more friends for snacks at canteen together, and call it received good response by other friends to be said that these interactions may affect the behavior of other individuals by creating social relations among them

Factors Affecting the Quality of Life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients at Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide including Indonesia with an increasing prevalence. Many factors can affect the quality of life in COPD patients. There is a lack of studies estimating these factors in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the quality of life of COPDpatients. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta, from February to March 2017. A sample of 36 COPD patients was selected for this study. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variables were sex, age, education, employment, body mass index, lung obstruction level, and smoking history. Quality of life was measured by COPD Assessment Test (CAT) questionnaire. Lung obstruction level was measured by spirometry and classified by Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2016. The other variables were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The quality of life of COPD patients decreased with higher body mass index (OR= 7.29; 95% CI= 0.98 to 54.27; p= 0.006), heavier pulmonary obstruction (OR= 21.00; 95% CI= 2.026 to 217.64; p<0.001), older age (OR= 2.25, 95% CI= 0.24 to 21.54; p= 0.011), and smoking history (OR= 1.58; 95% CI= 0.153 to 16.32; p= 0.010). Conclusion: The quality of life of COPD patients is affected by body mass index, degree of pulmonary obstruction, age, and smoking history Keywords: quality of life, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, determinan

Assistance in the Use of the Quizizz and Mentimeter Platforms to Improve the Competence of Mathematics Teachers in the City of Flores

The background to the implementation of the Community Service Program was the difficulties teachers and prospective math teachers in East Flores City had in designing and managing interactive learning online. So, the main purpose of this service is to increase the competence of teachers and prospective teachers according to the needs of the target community. The dedication stage consists of (1) the Preparation Stage; (2) the Implementation Stage, and; (3) the Practice, Monitoring, and Evaluation Stage. All stages of the service are carried out in the period 1-30 August 2021. The implementation stage of the service is carried out through the webinar method and the implementation of interactive learning designs using the Quizizz and Mentimeter platforms. The target community is 20 people. The Service Team consists of 3 students and one supervisor.

Respons Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Beberapa Varietas Tanaman Jagung (Zea Mays L.) Terhadap Pemberian Pupuk P Dan K

Using of Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) to determine the surface response producewas not researched yet, so the research have been conducted in UPT BBI Tanjung Selamat, Regencyof Deli Serdang, Province of North Sumatra with the land height ± 25 m above sea level, at May2012 - August 2012 using randomized block design with two factors : two varieties (Bisma and SHS-4) and Fertilizer (P and K with the dose determined from CCRD). Parameters measured were plantheight, number of leaf, time of flower initiation, harvesting age, cob length, number of leaf abovecob, cob diameter, weight of 100 seeds, seed filling rate and dry seeds production. The resultsshowed that the varieties were significantly diffrent to plant height, number of leafs, harvesting age,cob diameter, weight of 100 seeds, the seed filling rate, and dry seeds production. Fertilizer weresigificantly effects to plant height, number of leafs, and dry seeds production. Interaction betweenvarieties and fertilizer were significantly effects to plant height, cob diameter, and dry seedsproduction

Karakteristik Polong Kedelai Varitas Unggul yang Terserang Hama Pengisap Polong (Riptortus linearis) pada Kondisi Cekaman Kekeringan

The objective of this study is to examine the morphological characteristics of the superior soybean varieties against sucking pod pests in drought stress conditions. The investigations have been carried out in June-August 2012 in the greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mataram. Experiments have been designed by using completely randomized design with treatment consist of eight soybean varieties namely Anjasmoro, Panderman, Burangrang, Lawit, Argomulyo, Kaba, Tanggamus and Grobogan, with 3 replications. The parameters measured were: 1) Tickeness of pods skin, 2) trichome pods length; 3) trichome density of pods, 4) the attacks intensity; 6) plant resistance. Data analysis of the studies were performed using ANOVA on the significance level of 5 percent. The results showed that seven varieties of soybeas tested were tended to have the same length of pod trichome, and they did not have any strong correlation with attack intensity of pod sucking insect pest. In addition, the thickness of pod skin had a strong correlation with attack intensity, the ticker of pod skin, the lower of attack intensity. On the other hand, the density of pod trichome did not have any strong influence on attack intensity of pod sucking pest of soybea
