Dukungan Sosial Keluarga dalam Memenuhi Kebutuhan Sosial Lansia di Panti

Lanjut usia merupakan fase kehidupan yang umumnya akan dilalui oleh setiap manusia. Fase ini merupakan proses dari berkurang dan hilangnya beberapa sumber primer yang mendukung kehidupan lansia, baik sumebr biologis, ekonomi, soaial dan ekonomi. Panti Lansia (wreda atau jompo) disediakn dengan tujuan utama adalah menopang atau mendukung kehidupan lansia. Tidak sedikit para lanjut usia yang tinggal di Panti masih memiliki keluarga, baik keluarga keluarag inti atau keluarga besar. Namun demikian dukungan sosial keluarga tetap diperlukan bagi lansia walau lansia telah berada di Panti. Para lansia perlu dukungan perhargaan, masih membutuhkan informasi tentang perkembangan di luar panti, membutuhkan dukungan ekonomi dan penyaluran minat-bakat, serta masih membutuhkan dukungan sosial lainnya. Ssehingga dukungan sosial dari keluarga sangat penting dalam proses palayanan Lansia di Panti-panti yang ada

A limit on the variation of the speed of light arising from quantum gravity effects

A cornerstone of Einstein's special relativity is Lorentz invariance-the postulate that all observers measure exactly the same speed of light in vacuum, independent of photon-energy. While special relativity assumes that there is no fundamental length-scale associated with such invariance, there is a fundamental scale (the Planck scale, l(Planck) approximate to 1.62 x 10(-33) cm or E-Planck = M(Planck)c(2) approximate to 1.22 x 10(19) GeV), at which quantum effects are expected to strongly affect the nature of space-time. There is great interest in the (not yet validated) idea that Lorentz invariance might break near the Planck scale. A key test of such violation of Lorentz invariance is a possible variation of photon speed with energy(1-7). Even a tiny variation in photon speed, when accumulated over cosmological light-travel times, may be revealed by observing sharp features in gamma-ray burst (GRB) light-curves(2). Here we report the detection of emission up to similar to 31GeV from the distant and short GRB090510. We find no evidence for the violation of Lorentz invariance, and place a lower limit of 1.2E(Planck) on the scale of a linear energy dependence (or an inverse wavelength dependence), subject to reasonable assumptions about the emission (equivalently we have an upper limit of l(Planck)/1.2 on the length scale of the effect). Our results disfavour quantum-gravity theories(3,6,7) in which the quantum nature of space-time on a very small scale linearly alters the speed of light.Peer reviewedSubmitted Versio
