Landasan Aksiologis Pemikiran Bung Hatta Tentang Demokrasi
Hatta has a specific concept of democracy in which there are some differences from liberal democracy. One of them is based on its axiological ground. Therefore, the purposes of this research are to analyze Hatta's thought on democracy and its axiological ground. The primary data is taken from Hatta's works,they are : Demokrasi Kita (1978), Pengertian Pancasila (1981), and Kumpulan Pidato , 3 volumes (1985).The results of this research are : Hatta's concept of democracy for Indonesia is not similar at all with the Western concept of liberal democracy. Hatta developed the Indonesian democracy as a specific concept which its principles base on the original values within Indonesian society. His concept embraces political, economical and social aspects. From the axiological perspective, Hatta's concept of democracy is based on the fundamental values, such as truth, justice, goodness, honesty, beauty, and holiness. Therefore, it can be said that the fundamental values in Hatta's concept of democracy embrace ethic, aesthetic, and religious values
3D Hydrodynamic Model Development and Verification
A three-dimensional numerical model was developed to simulate hydrodynamic, temperature, and water quality distributions in rivers and lakes. In an attempt to get rid of the extra approximation and complexity, no coordinate transformation has been done and z-coordinate system has been employed. The governing equations are the continuity equation, free surface equation, momentum equations, and conservation equations of temperature and water quality. The model employs the time splitting technique which allows splitting the directions in which we end with two-dimensional governing equations and eventually the solution ends with a tri-diagonal matrix, which is easily solved by Thomas algorithm. The first step after developing a numerical model and before adding more features or applying the model to a real case, the model should be verified. The verification of the model was done by implementing the model to known solutions test cases in additional to evaluating whether the code preserves fluid mass. A series of test cases is performed by comparing the model results with the analytical solutions as proposed by many modelers. The model showed good agreement between the analytical and the numerical solution
Upregulation of the proinflammatory cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in rats' intestinal anastomotic wound healing—Does it matter?
SummaryBackgroundThe proinflammatory cytokines and growth-promoting factor are essential components of the wound healing process. We hypothesized that under healthy conditions, faster healing of intestinal anastomotic wound is due to an early upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 (CINC-1) that is followed by a quicker upregulation of homeostatic chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and late upregulation of transforming growth factor (TGF-β).MethodsWe characterized the time course of CINC-1, MCP-1 and TGF-β release at four wounds (skin, muscle, small bowel, and colonic anastomosis) after surgery on 38 juvenile male Sprague Dawley rats. The tissue samples of each site were harvested at 0 (control), 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days postoperatively (n = 6–8/group) and analyzed by ELISA kits for CINC-1, MCP-1 and TGF-β.ResultsCINC-1 expression peaked earlier in muscle and colonic wounds when compared to skin and small bowel. MCP-1 levels were elevated early in skin and muscle wounds, but later expression of MCP-1 was shown in colonic wounds. TGF-β levels were unchanged in all wound sites.ConclusionAn earlier peak in CINC-1 levels and later expression of MCP-1 were seen in colonic wounds, but no significant increase in TGF-β levels was observed. These findings support the early healing process in intestinal anastomotic wounds
Pengaruh Profesi dan Strategi Bertahan Hidup Gelandangan Terhadap Ketahanan Pada Aspek Keamanan (Studi Kasus pada Lokasi Gelandangan di Wonokromo-Jagir Surabaya)
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this researh is to know the gelandangan strategy to get a good income and to minimize the expenditure as a strategy to live on to be a gelandangan in Wonokromo-Jagir Surabaya, to know the relationship between the defense on a safety control related to gelandangan according to their strategy to live on in Wonokromo-Jagir, Surabaya.
This research used the survey method, namely investigated and-monitored them directly in the field to get an accurate informations. The method to get the research sample was inciclentical sampling. The research data were collected by using interviews and closely questionnaires, observation, and documentation. The analysis was qualitative descriptive.
The result of the research showed that Gelandangan have two strategies to live on. They are positive and negative. The positive strategy was showed by getting more job such as to be a laborer and cleaning service and then adding part time job. Meanwhile, the negative strategy was showed by doing a crime actions such as the thief, hold up man, and exploiter. The gelandangan\u27 s strategy to live on leading to the negative charachteristic, cause their positive strategy to live on can not increase the standard of living. The relationship between the defense on safety control related to gelandangan that showed from their strategy to live on was negative. The fact said that there are many crime actions happened in Wonokromo-Jagir, Surabaya. And the negative effects which blamed from them were distrubing the view and the beauty of city, kumuh and the dirty perception, the stability of security was damaged, and the safety of the society was damaged too. The arrange of the gelandangan were done by the government doing raid by police and lead them. Otherwise the society around them were done by siskamling, putting a fence around, and locking. However, the ways of it have not given a good result
Aplikasi Surfaktan Minyak Sawit untuk Proses Pemasakan-pengelantangan dan Pencelupan Tekstil
CPO (Crude Palm Oil) atau minyak sawit memiliki potensi yang besar untuk ditingkatkan nilai tambahnya melalui pengubahan menjadi surfaktan. Surfaktan berbasis minyak nabati bersifat mudah terurai (biodegradable) sehingga lebih ramah lingkungan. Surfaktan yang dapat disintesis dari minyak sawit diantaranya adalah MES (metil ester sulfonat) dan DEA (dietanol amida). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sejauh mana surfaktan dari CPO dapat diterapkan dalam proses basah tekstil. Dalam penelitian ini, surfaktan CPO yaitu MES 1 dan DEA (sampel dari Surfactant and Bioenergy Research Center/SBRC), MES 2 (sampel dari CV. Agroraya Indonesia), serta surfaktan komersil pembanding (teepol) diobservasi secara visual serta diuji nilai pH dan waktu pembasahannya. Kemudian masing-masing sampel diaplikasikan dalam proses pemasakan dan pengelantangan secara simultan (scouring-bleaching) serta pencelupan (dyeing) kain kapas, rayon, dan poliester. Kain hasil proses diuji daya serap kain, derajat putih, kekuatan tarik, kekuatan warna, beda warna (dE), serta ketahanan luntur terhadap pencucian dan gosokan. Hasil pengujian menunjukan bahwa kekuatan tarik kain mengalami penurunan setelah proses scouring-bleaching untuk semua jenis surfaktan. Kain yang diproses dengan MES 2 memiliki nilai daya serap kain, derajat putih, dan kekuatan warna yang paling baik sedangkan nilai beda warna yang paling baik diperoleh pada kain yang diproses dengan MES 1. Hasil pengujian ketahanan luntur baik terhadap pencucian maupun gosokan kering dan basah menunjukan hasil yang relatif sama untuk semua jenis surfaktan. Bila dibandingkan dengan surfaktan pembanding komersil berbasis minyak bumi, surfaktan CPO berpotensi sebagai alternatif surfaktan pengganti
A Unique Volume Balance Approach for Verifying the Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Numerical Models in Surface Waterbody Simulation
The hydrodynamic numerical modeling is increasingly becoming a widely used tool for simulating the surface waterbodies including rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. A challenging step in any model development is the verification tests, especially at the early stage of development. In this study, a unique approach was developed by implementing the volume balance principle in order to verify the three-dimensional hydrodynamic models for surface waterbody simulation. A developed and verified three-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model, called W3, was employed by setting a case study model to be verified using the volume balance technique. The model was qualified by calculating the error in the accumulated water volume within the domain every time step. Results showed that the volume balance reached a constant error over the simulation period, indicating a robust model setup

The stability of money demand in China : evidence from the ARDL model
This study examines the demand for broad money (M2) in China
using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration framework. The results based on the bounds testing procedure confirm that a stable, long-run relationship exists between M2 and its determinants: real income, inflation, foreign interest rates and stock prices. Importantly, our results reveal that stock prices have a
significant wealth effect on long- and short-run broad money
demand; its omission can lead to serious misspecifications in the money demand function (MDF). This finding is consistent with the notion that asset inflation (deflation) has systematic influence on the pattern of monetary aggregates

The re-suspended dust is one of the most important contributors towards overall atmospheric pollution, especially when the roads are unpaved or under maintenance with high traffic load such as Nader Crossroad, which was under maintenance to construct a bridge on it. The concentrations of the total suspended particulate matters were determined at the two locations using portable air sampler during traffic rush hour on sunny moderated weekdays for four months, December 2011, February 2012, April 2012, and May 2012. The results have confirmed the contribution of the unpaved roads in air pollution. The results showed that the average TSP levels at Nader Crossroad was higher than the average TSP levels at Al-Thowra Crossroad during the total period of the study in which the minimum TSP level at Nader Crossroad was 5676.67 μg/m3, which was higher than the maximum TSP level at Al-Thowra Crossroad, 4096.41 μg/m3. In addition, the re-suspended dust concentrations that were measured in this study and ranged from 426.06 to 9348.95 μg/m3 are much higher than the American Environmental Protection Agency acceptable limits of national ambient air quality standards for the particulate matter.
