PENGARUH PEMBERIAN MELATONIN TERHADAP JUMLAH LEUKOSIT PADA TIKUS WISTAR MODEL SEPSIS

Background : Melatonin was a free radical frequently used as an antioxidant. Melatonin played a role in increasing immune response, and supporting cytoprotective process. On some animal models, melatonin has been identified to be able to resist bacteria infections, viruses, and parasites through some mechanisms such as immunomodulation or antioxidant activities. Melatonin could decrease the level of inflammation cytokine, oxidative stress, and mitochondria dysfunction. Melatonin was one of medicine developed as a sepsis therapy. Objective : this research was to find out the melatonin influence on the amount of white blood cells of a wistar rat sepsis model and to obtain the information that melatonin could decrease the number of white blood cells. Methods : this research was an experimental research with a randomized control group using pre and post test. The samples were 12 male wistar rats with certain criteria divided into 2 groups. The first group was given an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and was not given melatonin as control group. The second group was given an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and was given melatonin by oral sonde as treatment group. After a week, in the eighth day, the blood of each rat was taken from the retro-orbital blood vessel. The statistical test used paired t-test, independent t-test, and Mann Whitney test. Results : In the independent test, the average score of the amount of white blood cells from control group was higher than the experimental group. In the paired t-test, the control group underwent a significant change (p<0,05) compared to experimental group which showed a meaningless result. In the Mann Whitney test, the result of pre-post 1 and post 2 from the control group got a significant increase while the result of pre LPS – post 1 and post 2 from the experimental group got a significant decrease (p<0,05). Conclusion : The melatonin treatment did not cause a significant decrease of the amount of white blood cells. Keywords : Sepsis,The amount of white blood cells, Melatonin, Lipopolysaccharide

Finding an unknown number of multivariate outliers

We use the forward search to provide robust Mahalanobis distances to detect the presence of outliers in a sample of multivariate normal data. Theoretical results on order statistics and on estimation in truncated samples provide the distribution of our test statistic. We also introduce several new robust distances with associated distributional results. Comparisons of our procedure with tests using other robust Mahalanobis distances show the good size and high power of our procedure. We also provide a unification of results on correction factors for estimation from truncated samples

Analisis Dinamika Respons Optis Semiconductor Quantun Dots Three Level Sistem Bertipe Lamda

Telah dilakukan penelitian secara teoretik pada SQD three level sistem bertipe lamda untuk menentukan respons optis yang muncul ketika sistem disinari laser pada intensitas tertentu. Penyelesaian SQD secara analitik menggunakan persamaan density matrix  menghasilkan persamaan diferesial tergandeng, selanjutnya persamaan density matrix diselesaikan secara numerik menggunakan metode Runge-Kutta Fehlberg (RKF 45). Dari metode ini diperoleh nilai populasi dan koheren dari elemen density matrix yang digunakan untuk menghitung respons optis pada SQD. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada intensitas rendah osilasi populasi keadaan dasar hanya dapat terjadi ketika frekuensi keadaan saling beresonansi. Sedangkan populasi pada keadaan yang tidak beresonansi akan menunjukkan osilasi yang tidak jelas. Selain itu peningkatan intensitas yang diberikan oleh cahaya juga mempengaruhi osilasi populasi, semakin besar intensitas yang diberikan maka semakin besar amplitudo osilasi yang dihasilkan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya peningkatan frekuensi Rabi seiring meningkatnya intensitas cahaya datang yang diberikan. Kata Kunci : SQD, density matrix, respon optis, populasi, spektrum energ

A Parametric Framework for the Comparison of Methods of Very Robust Regression

There are several methods for obtaining very robust estimates of regression parameters that asymptotically resist 50% of outliers in the data. Differences in the behaviour of these algorithms depend on the distance between the regression data and the outliers. We introduce a parameter $\lambda$ that defines a parametric path in the space of models and enables us to study, in a systematic way, the properties of estimators as the groups of data move from being far apart to close together. We examine, as a function of $\lambda$, the variance and squared bias of five estimators and we also consider their power when used in the detection of outliers. This systematic approach provides tools for gaining knowledge and better understanding of the properties of robust estimators.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/13-STS437 the Statistical Science (http://www.imstat.org/sts/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org
