Project: Screenplay Going Home

This paper explained the process and the result of my final project which is a screenplay entitled Going Home. The screenplay is about Dahlia, a thirteen-year-old girl who was born and grew up in Australia. Then, she has to return to Jakarta, Indonesia and continue her education in Indonesia. She has an assignment about history of Indonesia. She needs to write one of heroic history of Indonesia with her own words and write her reflection about it. Once, she goes to Surabaya for a holiday and stays at Majapahit Hotel Surabaya. In the hotel, she experiences the past life about several historical moments by going back and forth to a past life and present life. After experiencing it, she can feel and understand the spirit of the Indonesian revolutionary heroes. She respects Indonesia heroes more. Also, she can encourage her friends to love Indonesia better and to blend in diverse group of ethnics as strong and one Indonesian who support to improve Indonesia. I would like to show that young generations are now lack the spirit to build their country. They forget to become one; One Land, One Nation, One Language. This creative work focuses on how history of Indonesia can help young generations to gain the spirit of Indonesian revolutionary heroes to love and improve Indonesia. To put this issue into a form of entertainment, I decided to make a screenplay which type of genre is adventure fantasy

Growth in OECD countries and elsewhere: how much do education and R&D explain?

We find that the Nonneman and Vanhoudt (1996) extension to include R&D in the Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992) growth model with human capital performs well also outside of OECD countries. It explains 61 to 86 percent of cross-country variation in income and growth over 40 years, explanatory variables being of expected sign for all country groups and significant in most cases. We test for the role of adding control variables and excluding outliers.augmented Solow model

Modeling the repetitions-in-reserve-velocity relationship:a valid method for resistance training monitoring and prescription, and fatigue management

Establishing a relationship between repetitions left in reserve and the mean absolute velocity (RIR-velocity relationship) during resistance training (RT) could allow for objective monitoring, prescription, and real-time adjustment of the training load and set-volume. Therefore, we examined the goodness of fit and prediction accuracy of general and individual RIR-velocity relationships in the free-weight back squat exercise. The effects of sex, training status and history, as well as personality traits, on the goodness of fit and the accuracy of these relationships were also investigated. Forty-six resistance-trained people (15 females and 31 males) performed a one-repetition maximum (1RM) test, and two repetitions to failure (RTF) tests 72 h apart. We found greater goodness of fit of individual RIR-velocity relationships compared to general RIR-velocity relationships. Individual, but not general RIR-velocity relationships established in the first testing session yielded acceptable prediction accuracy of RIR (mean error <2 repetitions) in the subsequent testing session, regardless of the load used. Similar results were obtained when both general and individual RIR-velocity relationships were averaged across the loads, suggesting that a single RIR-velocity relationship covering a range of loads can be used instead of traditional RT methods, potentially allowing for better fatigue management and more efficient adaptation

Interfacial crack behavior in the stationary temperature field conditions

The brittle coatings, made of different materials, when subjected to elevated temperatures and in the heat exchange conditions, are susceptible to delamination. Those coatings, as well as thin films, can be used for various therm insulating deposits, e.g. in turbines of thermal power plants. Due to environmental temperature change, in layers made of materials having different thermal expansion coefficients, appear thermal stresses. In this paper driving forces causing delamination of one layer from the other are analyzed i.e. the interfacial fracture in the two-layered, bi-material sample. This analysis was limited to considering the sample behavior when exposed to the stationaiy temperature field. The energy release rate G, which is the driving force for this interfacial fracture, is changing with temperature and that variation is increasing with increase of the temperature difference between the environment and the sample. Analysis of this relation, between the G variation and temperature difference, can be used to predict the maximal temperature difference, which the two-layered sample can be subjected to, without appearance of delamination between layers

Evaluasi Perlakuan Akuntansi terhadap Aset Tetap Berdasarkan pada PSAK N0. 16 (Revisi 2011) Setelah Konvergensi Ifrs

Aset tetap merupakan salah satu bagian penting dalam laporan keuangan, apabila manajemen tidak dapat mengelola aset tetap dengan baik maka akan berpengaruh pada kinerja keuangan Perusahaan. Perlakuan yang baik terhadap aset tetap ini juga dipengaruhi Standar Keuangan yang digunakan, maka diperlukan pembaharuan terus menerus terhadap Standar Keuangan yang digunakan tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini standar yang digunakan adalah PSAK No.16 (revisi 2011). PSAK No.16 (revisi 2011) telah mengadopsi hampir seluruh pernyataan dalam IFRS/IAS sebagai Pedoman Standar Akuntasi Internasional. Jadi apabila pencatatn dan penyajian aset tetap diterapkan menurut PSAK No.16 (revisi 2011) itu berarti suatu Perusahaan telah menerapkan IFRS/IAS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi perlakuan akuntansi aset tetap sesuai dengan PSAK No.16 (revisi 2011) setelah konvergensi IFRS pada Perusahaan perbankan syariah yang terdaftar pada BEI. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 8 Perusahaan perbankan syariah yang terdaftar pada BEI dengan periode penelitian 2012-2013. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif, teknik pengumpulan datanya dengan dokumentasi dengan menggunakan dokumen Perusahaan berupa laporan keuangan dan laporan operasional Perusahaan. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Disclosure Index, yaitu pengukur indeks atau pengungkapan kepatuhan Perusahaan perbankan syariah yang terdaftar pada BEI terhadap PSAK No. 16 (revisi 2011) konvergensi IRFS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya ada 3 Perusahaan dari 8 Perusahaan perbankan syariah yang terdaftar pada BEI menerapkan PSAK No.16 (revisi 2011) konvergensi IFRS untuk perlakuan aset tetap. Hal ini dikarenakan beberapa Perusahaan perbankan syariah beranggapan revisi terbaru mengenai aset tetap tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap laporan keuangan bank, sehingga fokus evaluasi hanya diutamakan pada standar-standar PSAK syariah yang diatur secara kusus

Persistent strabismus after cataract extraction

Background. Transient ocular misalignment as a complication of parabulbar and peribulbar anesthesia has already been reported in the literature. The aim of our study was to present a case of irreversible iatrogenic vertical strabismus after cataract surgery, which had to be operated on. Methods. Clinical and orthoptic evaluation of a female patient with vertical diplopia after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Results. One week after the uneventful surgery, a 68-year-old patient complained of a sudden vertical deviation in the operated eye. The patient had not had a history of previous motility disorders. On examination, the patient showed hypertropia in the left eye of 15−20 degrees in primary position. Three and 6 months postoperatively, there was no a spontaneous improvement, while the persistent vertical deviation was 40 prism dioptres. Strabismus surgery was required 1 year after the cataract surgery. Conclusion. Diplopia is a complication of peribulbar anesthesia which could be persistent. The superior and inferior rectus muscle are especially vulnerable. Its occurrence may be technique - related and the incidence increases when hyaluronidase is not available

Insulin-like growth factor-1 reduces cardiac autosis through decreasing AMPK/FOXO1 signaling and Na+/K+-ATPase-Beclin-1 interaction

Introduction: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) promotes survival and inhibits cardiac autophagy disruption. Methods: Male Wistar rats were treated with IGF-1 (50 μg/kg), and 24 h after injection hearts were excised. The level of interaction between Beclin-1 and the α1 subunit of sodium/potassium-adenosine triphosphates (Na+/K+-ATPase), and phosphorylated forms of IGF-1 receptor/insulin receptor (IGF-1R/IR), forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were measured. Results: The results indicate that IGF-1 decreased Beclin-1’s association with Na+/K+-ATPase (p < 0.05), increased IGF-1R/IR and FOXO1 phosphorylation (p < 0.05), and decreased AMPK phosphorylation (p < 0.01) in rats’ hearts. Conclusions: The new IGF-1 therapy may control autosis and minimize cardiomyocyte mortality

Multi-colour fluorescence imaging in connection with photodynamic therapy of delta-amino levulinic acid (ALA) sensitised skin malignancies

Abstract A system for multi-colour fluorescence imaging of tissue is described. The instrument is mainly developed for tissue diagnostics to identify and localise malignant tumours, but might also be useful for real-time monitoring of the therapeutic dose delivered during photodynamic therapy. In vivo examples from various malignant skin lesions following topical δ-amino levulinic acid (ALA) administration are presented. The diagnostic system utilises both characteristics of a fluorescent tumour marker, such as a porphyrin containing substance, and the native tissue autofluorescence to characterise the tissue. A dimensionless function of three or four simultaneously recorded fluorescence intensities is formed and an optimum-contrast image is calculated pixel-by-pixel
