Persepsi Mahasiswa Universitas Sam Ratulangi Tentang Kebijakan Uang Kuliah Tunggal

This study aims to determine the perception of students of Sam Ratulangi University on thepolicy of Single Tuition. This research was conducted by using qualitative descriptive method. The resultsshowed that: The perceptions formed from each individual student vary based on what is heard, seen, felt andunderstood about Single Tuition. The Single Tuition Policy at Unsrat is very helpful for people who haveeconomic problems to continue the lecture lecture, and easier to manage tuition expenses for students fromearly entry until graduation, and minimize the occurrence of corruption, collusion, and nepotism practice inHigher Education. Student perceptions about the application of Single Tuition at Sam Ratulangi University havenot been fully effective, where the implementation is still not in accordance with the regulation, because thereare still weaknesses in lecturing process, such as: Not exactly the tariff stipulation of Single Tuition charged byevery student because nepotism in the early negotiations to register lectures, inadequate facilities such as labsand classes that are not worth using, Budget for frequent late Lab fees resulting in late lab work in the course,and still found illegal levies in lectures that are detrimental to students. Efforts to be taken to overcome theproblems are found in the application of the Single Tuition policy at Sam Ratulangi University such as: Thelevel of supervision should be considered at the beginning of the negotiations conducted by the providers ofSingle Tuition, the validity of the student\u27s economic date is correct, the Single Tuition Fund Management mustbe transparent, and the effect on the person who commits the violation must be considered and improved

Faktor-faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Harga Cabai Rawit Di Kota Manado

This research aimed to analyze the factors affecting Chili prices in the city of Manado, North Sulawesi. This is a quantitative research. The research was conducted in January 2016 to March 2016, data used are secondary data from the Department of Industry and Trade of the city of Manado, change price data from January 2015 until December 2015 and primary data from merchants of Chili, curly Chili, and tomato through questionnaire and interviews. Mechanical analysis is using multiple linear regression analysis. The result showed that demand of Chili affects the price of Chili.when public demand increases, the price also increasing vice versa. Also affect the price of a substitute when there is a decease or increase in the substitutes then Chili also experienced the same thing, complementary goods prices also affect the price of Chili. Tastes of public affect Chili and prices for Manado City public taste inherently are spicy food lover so even if price are rising, buying Chili is still substantial.*ls

Kesimpulannya, bobot telur, indeks putih telur, indeks kuning telur dan nilai haugh unit telur ayam ras yang dijual di pasar tradisional dan pasar modern yang ada di kota Manado mempunyai kualitas yang sama dan layak untuk dikonsumsi.Kata kunci: kualitas telur ayam ras, pasar tradisional, pasar moder

On the impact of covariance functions in multi-objective Bayesian optimization for engineering design

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the publisher via the DOI in this recordMulti-objective Bayesian optimization (BO) is a highly useful class of methods that can effectively solve computationally expensive engineering design optimization problems with multiple objectives. However, the impact of covariance function, which is an important part of multi-objective BO, is rarely studied in the context of engineering optimization. We aim to shed light on this issue by performing numerical experiments on engineering design optimization problems, primarily low-fidelity problems so that we are able to statistically evaluate the performance of BO methods with various covariance functions. In this paper, we performed the study using a set of subsonic airfoil optimization cases as benchmark problems. Expected hypervolume improvement was used as the acquisition function to enrich the experimental design. Results show that the choice of the covariance function give a notable impact on the performance of multi-objective BO. In this regard, Kriging models with Matern-3/2 is the most robust method in terms of the diversity and convergence to the Pareto front that can handle problems with various complexities.Natural Environment Research Council (NERC

A pre-post pilot study of peer nutritional counseling and food insecurity and nutritional outcomes among antiretroviral therapy patients in Honduras

BACKGROUND: Food insecurity and poor nutrition are key barriers to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence. Culturally-appropriate and sustainable interventions that provide nutrition counseling for people on ART and of diverse nutritional statuses are needed, particularly given rising rates of overweight and obesity among people living with HIV (PLHIV). METHODS: As part of scale-up of a nutritional counseling intervention, we recruited and trained 17 peer counselors from 14 government-run HIV clinics in Honduras to deliver nutritional counseling to ART patients using a highly interactive curriculum that was developed after extensive formative research on locally available foods and dietary patterns among PLHIV. All participants received the intervention; at baseline and 2 month follow-up, assessments included: 1) interviewer-administered, in-person surveys to collect data on household food insecurity (15-item scale), nutritional knowledge (13-item scale), dietary intake and diversity (number of meals and type and number of food groups consumed in past 24 hours); and 2) anthropometric measures (body mass index or BMI, mid-upper arm and waist circumferences). We used multivariable linear regression analysis to examine changes pre-post in food insecurity and the various nutritional outcomes while controlling for baseline characteristics and clinic-level clustering. RESULTS: Of 482 participants at baseline, we had complete follow-up data on 356 (74%), of which 62% were women, median age was 39, 34% reported having paid work, 52% had completed primary school, and 34% were overweight or obese. In multivariate analyses adjusting for gender, age, household size, work status, and education, we found that between baseline and follow-up, household food insecurity decreased significantly among all participants (β=−0.47, p<.05) and among those with children under 18 (β=−1.16, p<.01), while nutritional knowledge and dietary intake and diversity also significantly improved, (β=0.88, p<.001; β=0.30, p<.001; and β=0.15, p<.001, respectively). Nutritional status (BMI, mid-arm and waist circumferences) showed no significant changes, but the brief follow-up period may not have been sufficient to detect changes. CONCLUSIONS: A peer-delivered nutritional counseling intervention for PLHIV was associated with improvements in dietary quality and reduced food insecurity among a population of diverse nutritional statuses. Future research should examine if such an intervention can improve adherence among people on ART

The co-management of HIV and chronic non-communicable diseases in the Dominican Republic: A qualitative study

People living with HIV and a non-communicable disease (NCD) experience multi-level barriers when co-managing multiple conditions. We explored the factors affecting living with multiple chronic conditions in the Dominican Republic. We conducted 21 in-depth interviews from October 2019-February 2020 with Dominican adults who participated in a food security intervention and managed HIV and at least one chronic NCD. Using thematic analysis, we explored participant lived experiences co-managing multiple chronic conditions. All participants (mean age = 45.5 years) were linked to HIV care, but only three were linked to NCD-specific care. Individual-level barriers to managing NCDs included limited education and limited self-efficacy for self-management. Interpersonally, barriers included limited rapport building with an NCD-specific specialist. Structural barriers to managing NCDs were no health insurance, poor referral systems, and limited financial assistance. Health system adaptation requires equitably considering the needs of individuals managing multiple chronic conditions. Key factors to address include patient-provider relationships, improved referral systems, accessibility and availability of specialists, and financial assistance
