M.RAJIV SYARIF2014ABSTRAKPRO KONTRA CALON PRESIDEN DARI KALANGAN MILITER PRABOWO SUBIANTO DI KABUPATEN PIDIE PADA PEMILIHAN PRESIDEN TAHUN 2014 Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Syiah Kuala (xi, 74) , pp., bibl., app.(Dr. Mujibussalim SH, M.Hum dan Dr. Effendi Hasan, MA) Pemilihan presiden dan wakil presiden tahun 2014 menghadirkan kontestan politik yang bervariasi, mulai dari kalangan pengusaha, politisi, dan sebagainya. Hal menarik pada Pilpres tahun 2014 ialah kembali bertarungnya calon presiden yang dulunya berasal dari kalangan militer seperti Prabowo Subianto dari partai Gerakan Indonesia Raya (Gerindra) yang memunculkan pro dan kontra di kalangan masyarakat, khususnya di Kabupaten Pidie.Permasalahan berupa pro kontra calon presiden Prabowo Subianto pada pemilihan presiden tahun 2014 serta daya tarik masyarakat Kabupaten Pidie terhadap Prabowo sebagai calon presiden Indonesia pada pemilihan presiden tahun 2014. Data yang diperlukan dalam penulisan skripsi ini diperoleh melalui penelitian kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif yang didapatkan melalui penelitian kepustakaan dan lapangan..Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pro dan kontra terhadap calon presiden Prabowo Subianto di Kabupaten Pidie dapat disimpulkan masih berpendapat negatif atau kontra. Masyarakat Pidie juga tidak tertarik memilih Prabowo Subianto pada pemilihan presiden tahun 2014. Karena masyarakat Pidie masih memandang keterlibatan Prabowo Subianto sangat kuat ketika konflik berlangsung di Aceh yang banyak memakan korban warga Pidie sendiri. Disarankan kepada elit politik pengusung Prabowo untuk membangun simpatik masyarakat khususnya masyarakat Pidie pada pemilihan presiden. bagi tim Prabowo Subianto harus berusaha menjelaskan dan mengklarifikasi tentang isu-isu negatif terhadap Prabowo sendiri.Kata Kunci: Prabowo Subianto, Militer, Pemilihan Presiden.Banda Aceh, 22 Oktober 2014M.

Evaluation of perceptions of general physicians regarding the association of obstructive sleep apnoea with depression in the real world setting in the United Kingdom

Background: Patients with depression may also have obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Management of OSA in patients with depression may improve depression and neurocognitive functions. Hence it is important to identify OSA early when assessing patients with depression or cognitive impairment. Aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge attitude and practices of general practitioners (GPs) in the United Kingdom (UK) regarding OSA in patients with depression.Methods: A questionnaire (11 questions) regarding OSA symptoms and relevant questions to be asked during history taking by the GP was prepared. Twenty GPs across UK were sent the questionnaire by email and were asked to send their responses to the questionnaire.Results: All the respondents concurred that OSA can have a correlation with depression. Yet, only 33% of respondents asked questions related to OSA to their patients. 67% of GPs reported not asking their patients relevant questions about OSA citing lack of time. The symptom most commonly reported by their patients was difficulty concentrating during the day. 79% GPs reported that they diagnosed OSA from the history in less than 10% of their patients. The chief barriers for initiating treatment for OSA in patients with depression included need for referral of patients with OSA to a specialist (50%), patient acceptance (34%) and 13% GPs were uncertain about the barriers to initiating treatment.Conclusions: Primary care physician should determine the underlying cause of depression rather than simply diagnosing the patient as depressed. OSA must be evaluated in patients with depression by the primary care physician

Case report of missed evolving cauda equina syndrome: pitfalls to avoid in remote consultations

A 44-year-old lady presented with complaints of lumbosacral back pain radiating to the front of both thighs and up to the front of both knees. She was offered Teleconsultation by 2 GPs and was treated with analgesics. But her pain was not relieved. The third GP took a detailed history and elicited the red flags pointing towards a cauda equina syndrome (CES) in progression. She was called for examination and then was referred to the specialist for immediate further investigations and action. She underwent surgery for CES and her recovery was uneventful. Teleconsultation has the chief limitation of not being able to examine the patient. The importance of taking a detailed clear history regarding the symptoms of cauda equina and documenting the presence or absence of each of the red flag symptoms cannot be overemphasised. Clear, candid and honest discussion of the concerns of the symptoms and the rationale for the referral to the spinal surgeon must be discussed with the patient so as to prevent any miscommunication which can lead to medicolegal claims later on

Failure analysis of green ceramic bodies during thermal debinding

Title from PDF of title page (University of Missouri--Columbia, viewed on Feb 18, 2010).The entire thesis text is included in the research.pdf file; the official abstract appears in the short.pdf file; a non-technical public abstract appears in the public.pdf file.Thesis advisor: Dr. Stephen Lombardo.M.S. University of Missouri--Columbia 2009.In industry, thermal debinding is the traditional mode of binder removal from multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCs). Binder removal from ceramics takes as long as 50-150 h, thereby contributing significantly to the manufacturing costs and also controlling the production rate. Increasing energy costs and demand for multilayer ceramic capacitors calls for the development of rapid binder removal cycles. These cycles should not only be fast but also result in a defect free ceramic capacitor. Defect formation, which arises from excessive stresses, plays a major role in determining the duration of the heating cycle. This thesis presents failure behavior of green MLCs as a function of changing body size and heating rate. This is then used to design rapid heating cycles. Furthermore, models are presented to qualitatively analyze the failure behavior in terms of the stresses and strength of the green body.Includes bibliographical references

Learning Redundant Motor Tasks With and Without Overlapping Dimensions: Facilitation and Interference Effects

Prior learning of a motor skill creates motor memories that can facilitate or interfere with learning of new, but related, motor skills. One hypothesis of motor learning posits that for a sensorimotor task with redundant degrees of freedom, the nervous system learns the geometric structure of the task and improves performance by selectively operating within that task space. We tested this hypothesis by examining if transfer of learning between two tasks depends on shared dimensionality between their respective task spaces. Human participants wore a data glove and learned to manipulate a computer cursor by moving their fingers. Separate groups of participants learned two tasks: a prior task that was unique to each group and a criterion task that was common to all groups. We manipulated the mapping between finger motions and cursor positions in the prior task to define task spaces that either shared or did not share the task space dimensions (x-y axes) of the criterion task. We found that if the prior task shared task dimensions with the criterion task, there was an initial facilitation in criterion task performance. However, if the prior task did not share task dimensions with the criterion task, there was prolonged interference in learning the criterion task due to participants finding inefficient task solutions. These results show that the nervous system learns the task space through practice, and that the degree of shared task space dimensionality influences the extent to which prior experience transfers to subsequent learning of related motor skills

Molecular Simulation of MoS2 Exfoliation.

A wide variety of two-dimensional layered materials are synthesized by liquid-phase exfoliation. Here we examine exfoliation of MoS2 into nanosheets in a mixture of water and isopropanol (IPA) containing cavitation bubbles. Using force fields optimized with experimental data on interfacial energies between MoS2 and the solvent, multimillion-atom molecular dynamics simulations are performed in conjunction with experiments to examine shock-induced collapse of cavitation bubbles and the resulting exfoliation of MoS2. The collapse of cavitation bubbles generates high-speed nanojets and shock waves in the solvent. Large shear stresses due to the nanojet impact on MoS2 surfaces initiate exfoliation, and shock waves reflected from MoS2 surfaces enhance exfoliation. Structural correlations in the solvent indicate that shock induces an ice VII like motif in the first solvation shell of water

Bose-Einstein Condensates in Rotating Lattices

Strongly interacting bosons in 2D in a rotating square lattice are investigated via a modified Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. Such a system corresponds to a rotating lattice potential imprinted on a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. Second-order quantum phase transitions between states of different symmetries are observed at discrete rotation rates. For the square lattice we study, there are four possible ground-state symmetries.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Accepted for publication in PRL v2: Replaced phase winding labels with symmetry eigenstate indices, replaced Gaussian Ansatz with more general treatment and other minor change
