RUANG TERBUKA HIJAU DALAM KETAHANAN LINGKUNGAN KOTA MAKASSAR

Green open space is a component that must be owned in an urban area in a country. Indonesia is currently experiencing a fairly rapid development in its development which is more dominant in urban areas. Makassar City is one of the city centers in Indonesia and is located in South Sulawesi which is quite modern with good green open space management. Green open space is present as a space that has many benefits in the sustainability or sustainability of a city. Where modernization in urbanization regarding population is taking place at this time which of course has impacts and threats to the urban environment within the scope of Makassar city as the city center in South Sulawesi which is a specific area related to green open space in the environmental resilience of the Makassar city. In this case, it is about the relationship between humans and nature which makes the harmony of living things in the living space of the earth sustainable. With a perspective in the scope of environmental politics which is specified in the theory of biocentrism

A GENERALIZED FRAMEWORK FOR CRISP COMMITMENT SCHEMES

Crisp Commitment schemes are very useful building blocks in the design of high-level cryptographic protocols. They are used as a mean of flipping fair coins between two players and others. In this paper an attempt has been made to give a generalized framework for Crisp Commitment schemes is called an Ordinary Crisp Commitment Scheme (OCCS). The Hiding and Binding properties of OCCS are well defined. We also review some the existing of different Crisp Commitment schemes and we show how it is follow our presenting framework

Quantifying Privacy: A Novel Entropy-Based Measure of Disclosure Risk

It is well recognised that data mining and statistical analysis pose a serious treat to privacy. This is true for financial, medical, criminal and marketing research. Numerous techniques have been proposed to protect privacy, including restriction and data modification. Recently proposed privacy models such as differential privacy and k-anonymity received a lot of attention and for the latter there are now several improvements of the original scheme, each removing some security shortcomings of the previous one. However, the challenge lies in evaluating and comparing privacy provided by various techniques. In this paper we propose a novel entropy based security measure that can be applied to any generalisation, restriction or data modification technique. We use our measure to empirically evaluate and compare a few popular methods, namely query restriction, sampling and noise addition.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figure

Thymoquinone and curcumin modify inducible nitric oxide synthase, caspase 3, and thioredoxin immunohistochemical expression in acetaminophen hepatotoxicity

Background: Acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity is characterised by an extensive oxidative stress due to depletion of glutathione (GSH), which results in massive lipid peroxidation and subsequent liver injury. The current paradigm suggests that mitochondria are the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which impair mitochondrial function and are responsible for cell signalling resulting in cell death. This study was designed to compare the potential impact of thymoquinone (THQ), and/or curcumin (CURC) on liver injury induced by APAP toxicity in rats. Materials and methods: Serum levels of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin, and total protein were measured. In addition, liver nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were estimated. Moreover, these biochemical parameters were confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical investigations for the expression of thioredoxin, iNOS and caspase 3. Results: Acetaminophen toxicity elevated most of the above-mentioned parameters but decreased GSH, SOD, and total protein levels. Histologically, liver sections demonstrated liver injury characterised by hepatocellular necrosis with nuclear pyknosis, karyorrhexis and karyolysis. Immunohistochemical study revealed increased expression of iNOS and caspase 3 proteins, while the thioredoxin protein expression was decreased. Conclusions: Treatment with the THQ and CURC regulated the biochemical and histopathological alterations induced by APAP toxicity. It was concluded that the combination strategy of THQ and CURC might be considered as a potential antidote in combating liver injury induced by APAP with minimal side effects

Faktor Instrinsik Motivasi Kerja Pegawai dalam Meningkatkan Pelayanan Administrasi di Kantor Kecamatan Malunda Kabupaten Majene

This study aims to determine the performance of the apparatus in providing services at the Malunda District Office in Majene Regency, as well as any factors that affect the performance of the apparatus in providing services. Data was collected through library studies and field studies using questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentation. Instrinsic factors that influence the provision of service personnel related to service procedures, the time of completion of services has been running optimally in accordance with the established service procedures by facilitating the provision of services to the community. While other indicators such as facilities and infrastructure still look inadequate in supporting services. The competencies possessed by the authorities are in accordance with the level of education, skills and skills

New Model Reduction Scheme for Bilinear Systems

A new method for the approximation of bilinear systems is proposed. The reduction scheme applies to both stable and unstable bilinear systems. The technique uses generalized input normal representations to retain the dominant part of the original system. The algorithm is evaluated on a synchronous induction generator and is shown to lead to acceptable reduced approximations of the original system. A frequency weighting is also introduced in the reduction scheme to further improve the approximation
