Implementasi Bussinesee Intelligence pada Analisis Peningkatan Sarana Perairan Kota Padang Tahun 2013 – 2015 Menggunakan Aplikasi Tableau

Sarana perairan sendiri berguna untuk menunjang  dan membantu masyarakat baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Peningkatan sarana perairan sangat penting karena dengan adanya peningkatan sarana tersebut masyarakat akan terbantu dalam memenuhi kebutuhan dibidang perairan terutama air minum berkualitas (layak). Umumnya, sarana perairan yang ada di Kota Padang tidak merata dari tahun ke tahun. Ketidakmerataan ini terjadi hampir diseluruh wilayah di Kota Padang. Oleh karena itu pada penelitian ini, dilakukan pengimplementasian Bussiness Intelligence untuk melihat bagaimana peningkatan sarana perairan yang ada di Kota Padang dari tahun 2013 – 2015 dengan menggunakan aplikasi pengolahan data yaitu Tableau. Dengan pengimplementasian Bussiness Intelligence ini diharapkan akan mampu membantu pemerintah dalam menentukan peningkatan sarana perairan dari tahun 2013-2015 di Kota Padang

Educación para la liberación: una propuesta desde la filosofía latinoamericana

El ensayo discute los términos ‘filosofía latinoamericana’, ‘filosofía de la liberación’ y ‘educación para la liberación de América Latina’. A partir de las ideas en torno a la existencia de una filosofía latinoamericana, que es resultado del esfuerzo por filosofar desde las necesidades sociales y políticas del subcontinente, se argumenta a favor de la existencia de una ‘educación para la liberación de América Latina’, la cual —se concluye— debe entenderse como una práctica pedagógica que permita leer el mundo críticamente, que sea transformadora de conciencias, pero también de la vida comunitaria de los individuos, lo cual, ahora, exige una búsqueda incesante de la identidad mediante la experiencia histórica y el diálogo, pues la educación es un proceso de acción y transformación de la vida y de la historia que en ella persiste

The Endocrine Regulation of Wing Polymorphism in Insects: State of the Art, Recent Surprises, and Future Directions

The endocrine mechanisms controlling the development and reproduction of flight-capable (long-winged) and flightless (short-winged or wingless) morphs of wing-polymorphic insects have been intensively investigated. The classical model, put forward in the early 1960s, postulates that morph-specific differences in development and reproduction are caused by variation in the titers of juvenile hormone (JH) and/or ecdysone. Despite decades of study, the importance of these hormones in regulating wing polymorphism in aphids and planthoppers remains uncertain. This uncertainly is largely a consequence of technical and size constraints which have severely limited the types of endocrine approaches that can be used in these insects. Recent studies in wing-polymorphic crickets (Gryllus) have provided the first direct evidence that the in vivo blood titers of juvenile hormone and ecdysone, and especially the activity of the JH regulator, juvenile hormone esterase, differ between nascent morphs. Morph differences are largely consistent with the classical model, although some types of data are problematic, and other explanations are possible. Adult morphs differ dramatically in the JH titer but titer differences are more complex than those proposed by the classical model. Detailed endocrine information is thus far available only for a few species of crickets, and the hormonal control of wing polymorphism for insects as a whole remains poorly understood. Future studies should continue to investigate the role of JH and ecdysteroids in morph development and reproduction, and should expand to include studies of morph-specific differences in hormone receptors and neurohormones

Locomotion in Response to Shifting Climate Zones: Not So Fast

Although a species’ locomotor capacity is suggestive of its ability to escape global climate change, such a suggestion is not necessarily straightforward. Species vary substantially in locomotor capacity, both ontogenetically and within/among populations, and much of this variation has a genetic basis. Accordingly, locomotor capacity can and does evolve rapidly, as selection experiments demonstrate. Importantly, even though this evolution of locomotor capacity may be rapid enough to escape changing climate, genetic correlations among traits (often due to pleiotropy) are such that successful or rapid dispersers are often limited in colonization or reproductive ability, which may be viewed as a trade-off. The nuanced assessment of this variation and evolution is reviewed for well-studied models: salmon, flying versus flightless insects, rodents undergoing experimental evolution, and metapopulations of butterflies. This work reveals how integration of physiology with population biology and functional genomics can be especially informative

THE EFFECT OF LANGUAGE BARRIERS ON VARIATION AND RECEIPT OF EARLY STAGE BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

Background: Arriving at and implementing an appropriate patient centered treatment plan for early stage breast cancer requires significant dialogue between healthcare providers and patients. How language barriers affect this process has not been thoroughly explored in the literature. The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of language barrier on variation and receipt of early stage breast cancer treatment. Methods: Rates of lumpectomy, mastectomy, and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) with or without reconstruction were compared between English speaking and Low English Proficiency (LEP) cohorts. Patients with recurrent or bilateral breast cancer, male patients, and/or known genetic mutations were excluded. Receipt of recommended treatments including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and radiation were compared between the two groups, as well as patient refusal and loss of follow-up. Regression analysis for all-cause mortality within this time period was tabulated for each group. Results: There were no significant differences between receipt of recommended treatments, patient refusal or loss of follow up between the cohorts. LEP patients had a greater proportion of lumpectomies (79.7 versus 70.7%) while 9.2% of English-speaking patients had CPM or CPM with reconstruction compared to none of the LEP patients. These trends, however, did not rise to statistical significance within our small population sample. Age, insurance type, and LEP were associated with significant difference in all-cause mortality, however only age and insurance remained significant in adjusted analysis. Conclusion: Our results indicate a non-statistically significant trend towards less variation of surgical treatment variation for early stage breast cancer in the LEP population, including a greater frequency of lumpectomy and less utilization of CPM. Larger, multicenter studies would be needed to affirm and further investigate these trends

Morph-associated JH titer diel rhythm in \u3ci\u3eGryllus firmus\u3c/i\u3e: Experimental verification of its circadian basis and cycle characterization in artificially selected lines raised in the field

Previous studies demonstrated a high-amplitude, diel cycle for the hemolymph JH titer in the wing-polymorphic cricket, Gryllus firmus. The JH titer rose and fell in the flight-capable morph (long-winged, LW(f)) above and below the relatively temporally invariant JH titer in the flightless (short-winged, SW) morph. The morph-specific JH titer cycle appeared to be primarily driven by a morph-specific diel cycle in the rate of JH biosynthesis. In the present study, cycles of the JH titer and rate of JH biosynthesis in the LW(f) morph persisted in the laboratory under constant darkness with an approximate 24 h periodicity. The JH titer cycle also shifted in concert with a shift in the onset of the scotophase, was temperature compensated in constant darkness, and became arrhythmic under constant light. These results provide strong support for the circadian basis of the morph-specific diel rhythm of the JH titer and JH biosynthetic rate. Persistence of the JH titer cycle under constant darkness in multiple LW-selected and SW-selected stocks also provides support for the genetic basis of the morph-associated circadian rhythm. The morph-specific JH titer cycle was observed in these stocks raised in the field, in both males and females, in each of 3 years studied. The onset of the cycle in the LW(f) morph, a few hours before sunset, correlated well with the onset of the cycle, a few hours before lights-off, in the laboratory. The morph-specific JH titer cycle is a general feature of G. firmus, under a variety of environmental conditions, and is not an artifact of specific laboratory conditions or specific genetic stocks. It is a powerful experimental model to investigate the mechanisms underlying endocrine circadian rhythms, their evolution, and their impact on life history evolution
