PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN DAN MOTIVASI TERHADAP DISIPLIN KERJA PADA BADAN KEPEGAWAIAN DAERAH PROVINSI LAMPUNG

Disiplin yang tinggi harus diperhatikan oleh pimpinan unit kerja dalam suatu organisasi, karena apabila seorang pemimpin tidak mampu meningkatkan kualitas dan semangat kerja pegawai, maka motivasi dan disiplin kerja pegawai akan menurun dan tentunya akan mengakibatkan hal-hal yang dapat merugikan organisasi. Adanya kekurangan-kekurangan tersebut mengindikasikan masih rendahnya tingkat kedisiplinan para pegawai Badan Kepegawaian Daerah Provinsi Lampung yang ditandai dengan kurangnya tingat kehadiran pegawai. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kepemimpinan dan motivasi terhadap disiplin kerja pegawai pada Badan Kepegawaian Daerah Provinsi Lampung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kolerasi dan regresi linear berganda, dengan menggunakan program Statistical Package for Social Scienceties (SPSS). Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa bahwa Ho ditolak han Ha diterima berarti faktor kepemimpinan dan motivasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kedisiplin pegawai

Approximate Bayesian computation scheme for parameter inference and model selection in dynamical systems

Approximate Bayesian computation methods can be used to evaluate posterior distributions without having to calculate likelihoods. In this paper we discuss and apply an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) method based on sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) to estimate parameters of dynamical models. We show that ABC SMC gives information about the inferability of parameters and model sensitivity to changes in parameters, and tends to perform better than other ABC approaches. The algorithm is applied to several well known biological systems, for which parameters and their credible intervals are inferred. Moreover, we develop ABC SMC as a tool for model selection; given a range of different mathematical descriptions, ABC SMC is able to choose the best model using the standard Bayesian model selection apparatus.Comment: 26 pages, 9 figure

On the Detection of Magnetic Helicity

Magnetic fields in various astrophysical settings may be helical and, in the cosmological context, may provide a measure of primordial CP violation during baryogenesis. Yet it is difficult, even in principle, to devise a scheme by which magnetic helicity may be detected, except in some very special systems. We propose that charged cosmic rays originating from known sources may be useful for this purpose. We show that the correlator of the arrival momenta of the cosmic rays is sensitive to the helicity of an intervening magnetic field. If the sources themselves are not known, the method may still be useful provided we have some knowledge of their spatial distribution.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, discussions and references added, submited to Phys.

Portal protein functions akin to a DNA-sensor that couples genome-packaging to icosahedral capsid maturation.

Tailed bacteriophages and herpesviruses assemble infectious particles via an empty precursor capsid (or \u27procapsid\u27) built by multiple copies of coat and scaffolding protein and by one dodecameric portal protein. Genome packaging triggers rearrangement of the coat protein and release of scaffolding protein, resulting in dramatic procapsid lattice expansion. Here, we provide structural evidence that the portal protein of the bacteriophage P22 exists in two distinct dodecameric conformations: an asymmetric assembly in the procapsid (PC-portal) that is competent for high affinity binding to the large terminase packaging protein, and a symmetric ring in the mature virion (MV-portal) that has negligible affinity for the packaging motor. Modelling studies indicate the structure of PC-portal is incompatible with DNA coaxially spooled around the portal vertex, suggesting that newly packaged DNA triggers the switch from PC- to MV-conformation. Thus, we propose the signal for termination of \u27Headful Packaging\u27 is a DNA-dependent symmetrization of portal protein

Supporting 3rd-grade students’ model-based explanations about groundwater: A quasi-experimental study of a curricular intervention

Scientific modelling is a key practice in which K-12 students should engage to begin developing robust conceptual understanding of natural systems, including water. However, little past research has explored primary students’ learning about groundwater, engagement in scientific modelling, and/or the ways in which teachers conceptualize and cultivate model-based science learning environments. We are engaged in a multi-year project designed to support 3rd-grade students’ formulation of model-based explanations (MBE) for hydrologic phenomenon, including groundwater, through curricular and instructional support. In this quasi-experimental comparative study of five 3rd-grade classrooms, we present findings from analysis of students’ MBE generated as part of experiencing a baseline curricular intervention (Year 1) and a modelling-enhanced curricular intervention (Year 2). Findings show that students experiencing the latter version of the unit made significant gains in both conceptual understanding and reasoning about groundwater, but that these gains varied by classroom. Overall, student gains from Year 1 to Year 2 were attributed to changes in two of the five classrooms in which students were provided additional instructional supports and scaffolds to enhance their MBE for groundwater. Within these two classrooms, the teachers enacted the Year 2 curriculum in unique ways that reflected their deeper understanding about the practices of modelling. Their enactments played a critical role in supporting students’ MBE about groundwater. Study findings contribute to research on scientific modelling in elementary science learning environments and have important implications for teachers and curriculum developers
