    This research aims to know the achievement development of archery sport in Perpani Klaten. Up to now, Klaten is known as a storehouse of talented archer who dominate archery branch in the national championship and started competing in international championships such as the Sea Games and OPEN. From some of the achievements of Archery athletes, Klaten is not as bright as supporting factors the training of the athletes. There are still weaknesses that have not been considered by the local government in Perpani Klaten in coaching achievement. This research is qualitative and descriptive and is using a qualitative approach, observation, analysis of document and interview. Data sources in this research are the board of KONI, board of Perpani, coaches, and athletes in archery Klaten regency. The result of this research is associated with the development of perpani Klaten achievement that includes organizational structure, funding, coaching accomplishments, and infrastructure. Method which has been used in the execution of achievement Perpani Klaten has been very good but there are still weaknesses that need to be repaired and enhanced in getting achievement. Based on this research, research concluded that: the development of archery achievement in Perpani klaten is been very good. It can be seen from the organizational structure, funding, coaching achievements, as well as the infrastructure that has been investigated.  Article visualizations

    Environmentally conscious consumption patterns in Hungarian households

    This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the theoretical aspects of sustainable consumption. The conditions for consumers’ social responsibility and the formation of environmentally conscious behavior patterns will also be discussed, along with possible methods for motivating behavioral changes. The authors have completed a primary research study with the purpose of surveying environmentally conscious consumption patterns in Hungary. They also examined how the provision of appropriate information and the raising of awareness might encourage sustainable consumption. According to their findings, the respondents’ knowledge on environmentally conscious behavior was rather limited, and reinforcement was needed in identifying appropriate activity alternatives. This paper provides a summary of the qualitative research phase which employed in-depth interviews, logging and focus groups. The consecutive application of these methods enabled the authors to keep track of the process and the consequences of raising awareness

    Thermal shape fluctuation effects in the description of hot nuclei

    The behavior of several nuclear properties with temperature is analyzed within the framework of the Finite Temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (FTHFB) theory with the Gogny force and large configuration spaces. Thermal shape fluctuations in the quadrupole degree of freedom, around the mean field solution, are taken into account with the Landau prescription. As representative examples the nuclei 164^{164}Er, 152^{152}Dy and 192^{192}Hg are studied. Numerical results for the superfluid to normal and deformed to spherical shape transitions are presented. We found a substantial effect of the fluctuations on the average value of several observables. In particular, we get a decrease in the critical temperature (TcT_c) for the shape transition as compared with the plain FTHFB prediction as well as a washing out of the shape transition signatures. The new values of TcT_c are closer to the ones found in Strutinsky calculations and with the Pairing Plus Quadrupole model Hamiltonian.Comment: 17 pages, 8 Figure

    Progressive age-associated activation of JNK associates with conduction disruption in the aged atrium.

    Connexin43 (Cx43) is critical for maintaining electrical conduction across atrial muscle. During progressive aging cardiac conduction slows and becomes susceptible to disruption, predisposing to arrhythmias. Changes in Cx43 protein expression, or its phosphorylation status, can instigate changes in the conduction of the cardiac action potential. Our study investigated whether increased levels of activated c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is the mechanism responsible for the decline of Cx43 protein and intercellular communication during progressive aging. We examined right atrial muscle from guinea pigs between 1 day and 38 months of age. The area of the intercalated disc increased with age concurrent with a 75% decline in total C43 protein expression and spatial re-organisation of the remaining protein. An age-dependent increase in activated-JNK correlated with a rise in phosphorylated Cx43. The data also correlated with slowing of the action potential conduction velocity across the right atria from 0.38±0.01 m/s at 1 month of age to 0.30±0.01 m/s at 38 months of age. The JNK activator anisomycin increased levels of activated JNK in myocytes and reduced Cx43 protein expression paralleling the aging effect The JNK inhibitor SP600125, was found to eradicate almost all trace of Cx43 protein from the intercalating discs. We conclude that in vivo activation of JNK increases with age leading to the loss of Cx43 protein from atrial myocytes. This progressive loss results in impaired conduction and is likely to contribute to the increasing risk of atrial arrhythmias with advancing age

    Impact of opioid-free analgesia on pain severity and patient satisfaction after discharge from surgery: multispecialty, prospective cohort study in 25 countries

    Background: Balancing opioid stewardship and the need for adequate analgesia following discharge after surgery is challenging. This study aimed to compare the outcomes for patients discharged with opioid versus opioid-free analgesia after common surgical procedures.Methods: This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study collected data from patients undergoing common acute and elective general surgical, urological, gynaecological, and orthopaedic procedures. The primary outcomes were patient-reported time in severe pain measured on a numerical analogue scale from 0 to 100% and patient-reported satisfaction with pain relief during the first week following discharge. Data were collected by in-hospital chart review and patient telephone interview 1 week after discharge.Results: The study recruited 4273 patients from 144 centres in 25 countries; 1311 patients (30.7%) were prescribed opioid analgesia at discharge. Patients reported being in severe pain for 10 (i.q.r. 1-30)% of the first week after discharge and rated satisfaction with analgesia as 90 (i.q.r. 80-100) of 100. After adjustment for confounders, opioid analgesia on discharge was independently associated with increased pain severity (risk ratio 1.52, 95% c.i. 1.31 to 1.76; P < 0.001) and re-presentation to healthcare providers owing to side-effects of medication (OR 2.38, 95% c.i. 1.36 to 4.17; P = 0.004), but not with satisfaction with analgesia (beta coefficient 0.92, 95% c.i. -1.52 to 3.36; P = 0.468) compared with opioid-free analgesia. Although opioid prescribing varied greatly between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, patient-reported outcomes did not.Conclusion: Opioid analgesia prescription on surgical discharge is associated with a higher risk of re-presentation owing to side-effects of medication and increased patient-reported pain, but not with changes in patient-reported satisfaction. Opioid-free discharge analgesia should be adopted routinely

    Fully abstract trace semantics of low-level isolation mechanisms

    Many software systems adopt isolation mechanisms of modern processors as software security building blocks. Reasoning about these building blocks means reasoning about elaborate assembly code, which can be very complex due to the loose structure of the code. A way to overcome this complexity is giving the code a more structured semantics. This paper presents one such semantics, namely a fully abstract trace semantics, for an assembly language enhanced with protection mechanisms of modern processors. The trace semantics represents the behaviour of protected assembly code with simple abstractions, unburdened by low-level details, at the maximum degree of precision. Additionally, it captures the capabilities of attackers to protected software and simplifies providing a secure compiler targeting that language.status: publishe
