ANALISIS AKUNTABILITAS PENGELOLAAN DANA DESA DI DESA SABATAI BARU

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui akuntabilitas pengelolaan dana desa di Desa Sabatai Baru mulai dari tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan pertanggungjawabannya. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana akuntabilitas pengelolaan dana desa di Desa Sabatai Baru Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian skripsi ini adalah penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif dan dibuat berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan beberapa informan penelitian. Adapun informan dalam penelitian ini adalah perangkat desa dan juga beberapa elemen masyarakat desa. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa akuntabilitas dalam pengelolaan dana desa di Desa Sabatai Baru masih sangat kurang dan belum sepenuhnya dilaksanakan secara akuntabel. Hal ini terjadi karena pemerintah desa sebagai pengelola dana desa belum sepenuhnya terbuka kepada masyarakat desa juga dalam pelaksanaan dan pertanggungjawaban dana desa tidak di informasikan serta disampaikan pemerintah desa kepada masyarakat desa

Bistable molecular conductors with a field-switchable dipole group

A class of bistable "stator-rotor" molecules is proposed, where a stationary bridge (stator) connects the two electrodes and facilitates electron transport between them. The rotor part, which has a large dipole moment, is attached to an atom of the stator via a single sigma bond. Hydrogen bonds formed between the rotor and stator make the symmetric orientation of the dipole unstable. The rotor has two potential minima with equal energy for rotation about the sigma bond. The dipole orientation, which determines the conduction state of the molecule, can be switched by an external electric field that changes the relative energy of the two potential minima. Both orientation of the rotor correspond to asymmetric current-voltage characteristics that are the reverse of each other, so they are distinguishable electrically. Such bistable stator-rotor molecules could potentially be used as parts of molecular electronic devices.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure

Representational predicaments for employees: Their impact on perceptions of supervisors\u27 individualized consideration and on employee job satisfaction

A representational predicament for a subordinate vis-à-vis his or her immediate superior involves perceptual incongruence with the superior about the subordinate\u27s work or work context, with unfavourable implications for the employee. An instrument to measure the incidence of two types of representational predicament, being neglected and negative slanting, was developed and then validated through an initial survey of 327 employees. A subsequent substantive survey with a fresh sample of 330 employees largely supported a conceptual model linking being neglected and negative slanting to perceptions of low individualized consideration by superiors and to low overall job satisfaction. The respondents in both surveys were all Hong Kong Chinese. Two case examples drawn from qualitative interviews illustrate and support the conceptual model. Based on the research findings, we recommend some practical exercises to use in training interventions with leaders and subordinates. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC

Diurnal rhythmic expression of the rhythm-related genes, rPeriod1, rPeriod2, and rClock , in the rat brain

High densities of the mRNA of three rhythm-related genes, rPeriod1 (rPer1), rPer2 , and rClock , which share high homology in Drosophila and mammals, are found in the rat hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN, however, is not the only brain region that expresses these genes. To understand the possible physiological roles of these rhythm-related genes, we examined expression of these genes in different brain regions at various time points in male Sprague--Dawley rats. Using semi quantitative in situ hybridization with 35 S-riboprobes to evaluate mRNA levels, the diurnal rhythmicity of rPer1, and rPer2 mRNA levels was found in the SCN, arcuate nucleus, and median eminence/pars tuberalis. Expression patterns of mRNA for rPer1 and rPer2 , however, were not similar in these brain regions. The rhythmicity in these brain regions was specific, because it was not observed in the cerebellum or hippocampus. Moreover, diurnal changes in rClock mRNA expression were not detected in any of the brain regions examined. These findings suggest that the different expression patterns observed for rPer1, rPer2 , and rClock mRNAs may be attributed to their different physiological roles in these brain regions, and support previous work indicating that circadian rhythms in the brain are widespread.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43939/1/11373_2004_Article_8176.pd

A.J.E. Smith, M.A., D.Phil., D.Sc. (1935–2012)

Anthony John Edwin (Tony) Smith was born on 8 May 1935 at Bath, Somerset and died in hospital at Rhyl, Denbighshire, 27 November 2012. He was one of the leading bryologists of the twentieth century having joined the British Bryological Society (BBS) in 1956 and made an Honorary Member in 1994. He was Editor of Journal of Bryology from 1978 to 1992 and instrumental in setting up the Society’s Bryophyte Mapping Scheme in 1960 which culminated in the publication of the Atlas (Hill et al., 1991, 1992, 1994). He published The moss flora of Britain and Ireland (Smith, 1978a) with a second edition and reprint (Smith, 2004, 2006) as well as The liverworts of Britain and Ireland (Smith, 1990). His moss flora and the atlas stand as lasting memorials to his life which contributed greatly to both British and European bryology
