Sikap Pemilik Lahan terhadap Alih Fungsi Lahan di Desa Kalasey Satu

This study aims to determine the attitude of landowners against land conversion in the village Kalasey One, Minahasa. This research was conducted by using primary data obtained from interviews on a sample of attitudes concerning land owners who\u27ve experienced over the land by using a questionnaire that has been prepared. Secondary data were obtained from the Office of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Office of Manado City Government Kalasey Village One. The results showed that the attitude of landowners against land conversion mostly to take place quickly and the conversion is done by first over land tenure. Land converted generally used to build houses and residential areas. Factors that cause land conversion categorized into internal factors such as the pressing economic needs and the desire to change the fate, as well as external factors such as population growth and government policies. Meanwhile land use also has a positive effect, namely the presence of housing construction resulted in the development of rural economy. The attitude of landowners against land conversion is at an index number of 73.73 percent means included in either category

Tren Return on Asset (Roa) Pada PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk Periode 2012 – 2016

The study aims to determine the trend of return on assets (ROA) at PT. Astra Agro Lestari Tbk from 2012 to 2016. The data used are secondary data, obtained in the form of data that has been collected, processed and published by other parties namely the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the form of data obtained from the corner of the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the Faculty of Economics and Business University Sam Ratulangi Manado. Data analysis used is descriptive data analysis method that is by describing an object so that can be drawn conclusion. This descriptive data analysis aims to determine the trend of return on assets (ROA) at PT Astra Agro Lestari TBK in 2012-2016 which will be presented in the form of tables and graphs. The results showed that Trends Return On Assets (ROA) at PT. Astra Agro Lestari, Tbk in 2013 there is a decrease in ROA from 2012, then in 2014 there is an increase compared to the year 2013. In 2015 there is a decrease in ROA from 2014, and in 2016 ROA increase in comparison to 2015. This decline occurred because the average CPO price drops. The fall in CPO prices leads to a decrease in gross revenues followed by a decrease in profits and will further lead to a decrease in ROA

Rationale and design of the CONFIRM2 (Quantitative COroNary CT Angiography Evaluation For Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes: An InteRnational, Multicenter Registry) study.

BACKGROUND In the last 15 years, large registries and several randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the diagnostic and prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Advances in CT scanner technology and developments of analytic tools now enable accurate quantification of coronary artery disease (CAD), including total coronary plaque volume (TPV) and low attenuation plaque volume (LAP). The primary aim of CONFIRM2, (Quantitative COroNary CT Angiography Evaluation For Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes: An InteRnational, Multicenter Registry) is to perform comprehensive quantification of CCTA findings, including coronary, non-coronary cardiac, non-cardiac vascular, non-cardiac findings, and relate them to clinical variables and cardiovascular clinical outcomes. DESIGN CONFIRM2 is a multicenter, international observational cohort study designed to evaluate multidimensional associations between quantitative phenotype of cardiovascular disease and future adverse clinical outcomes in subjects undergoing clinically indicated CCTA. The targeted population is heterogenous and includes patients undergoing CCTA for atherosclerotic evaluation, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease or pre-procedural evaluation. Automated software will be utilized for quantification of coronary plaque, stenosis, vascular morphology and cardiac structures for rapid and reproducible tissue characterization. Up to 30,000 patients will be included from up to 50 international multi-continental clinical CCTA sites and followed for 3-4 years. SUMMARY CONFIRM2 is one of the largest CCTA studies to establish the clinical value of a multiparametric approach to quantify the phenotype of cardiovascular disease by CCTA using automated imaging solutions

Roles for H2A.Z and Its Acetylation in GAL1 Transcription and Gene Induction, but Not GAL1-Transcriptional Memory

H2A.Z does not appear to have a role in GAL1 transcriptional memory, but it does have both acetylation-dependent and acetylation-independent roles in GAL1 induction and expression

Biomarkers and Noncalcified Coronary Artery Plaque Progression in Older Men Treated With Testosterone.

ObjectiveRecent results from the Cardiovascular Trial of the Testosterone Trials showed that testosterone treatment of older men with low testosterone was associated with greater progression of noncalcified plaque (NCP). We evaluated the effect of anthropometric measures and cardiovascular biomarkers on plaque progression in individuals in the Testosterone Trial.MethodsThe Cardiovascular part of the trial included 170 men aged 65 years or older with low testosterone. Participants received testosterone gel or placebo gel for 12 months. The primary outcome was change in NCP volume from baseline to 12 months, as determined by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We assayed several markers of cardiovascular risk and analyzed each marker individually in a model as predictive variables and change in NCP as the dependent variable.ResultsOf 170 enrollees, 138 (73 testosterone, 65 placebo) completed the study and were available for the primary analysis. Of 10 markers evaluated, none showed a significant association with the change in NCP volume, but a significant interaction between treatment assignment and waist-hip ratio (WHR) (P = 0.0014) indicated that this variable impacted the testosterone effect on NCP volume. The statistical model indicated that for every 0.1 change in the WHR, the testosterone-induced 12-month change in NCP volume increased by 26.96 mm3 (95% confidence interval, 7.72-46.20).ConclusionAmong older men with low testosterone treated for 1 year, greater WHR was associated with greater NCP progression, as measured by CCTA. Other biomarkers and anthropometric measures did not show statistically significant association with plaque progression

A comparison of vestibular and auditory phenotypes in inbred mouse strains

The purposes of this research were to quantify gravity receptor function in inbred mouse strains and compare vestibular and auditory function for strain- and age-matched animals. Vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs) were collected for 19 inbred strains at ages from 35 to 389 days old. On average, C57BL/6J (35 to 190 days), BALB/cByJ, C3H/HeSnJ, CBA/J, and young LP/J mice had VsEP thresholds comparable to normal. Elevated VsEP thresholds were found for elderly C57BL/ 6J, NOD.NONH2kb, BUB/BnJ, A/J, DBA/2J, NOD/LtJ, A/WySnJ, MRL/MpJ, A/HeJ, CAST/Ei, SJL/J, elderly LP/J, and CE/J. These results suggest that otolithic function varies among inbred strains and several strains displayed gravity receptor deficits by 90 days old. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds were compared to VsEP thresholds for 14 age-matched strains. C57BL/6J mice (up to 190 days) showed normal VsEPs with normal to mildly elevated ABR thresholds. Four strains (BUB/BnJ, NOD/LtJ, A/J, elderly LP/J) had significant hearing loss and elevated VsEP thresholds. Four strains (DBA/2J, A/WySnJ, NOD. NONH2kb, A/HeJ) had elevated VsEP thresholds (including absent VsEPs) with mild to moderate elevations in ABR thresholds. Three strains (MRL/MpJ, Ce/J, SJL/J) had significant vestibular loss with no concomitant hearing loss. These results suggest that functional change in one sensory system does not obligate change in the other. We hypothesize that genes responsible for early onset hearing loss may affect otolithic function, yet the time course of functional change may vary. In addition, some genetic mutations may produce primarily gravity receptor deficits. Potential genes responsible for selective gravity receptor impairment demonstrated herein remain to be identified.
