Human Center of Gravity Dynamics a New Parameter of Motor Development Functions

A study of a new parameter of human growth and development was conducted. The percentage of the height of body gravity center to the stature in supine position was measured in males and females during the period of pre-puberty (l995), young and adult puberties (1995 and 1997) and male adults (1995). The parameters measured were weight, stature and the height of the gravity center. Data were calculated in obtaining arithmetic means, standard deviations of all parameters and the percentage of gravity point height to stature. The percentages of male and female means, as well as standard deviations, were compared statistically. It was shown that in the pre-puberty group the location of the gravity center to stature was the same in percentage in males compared to females, whereas in the adult group (1987, 1995) a higher percentage was found in males. Among males (1995) differences were found in the percentages, which might have been caused by differences of body typology; the mesomorphic type showed the highest percentage, the endomorphic type showed the lowest, whereas the ectomorphic type it was in between

The result shows that in understanding the meaning of life, we must conceive the concrete importance of sacrifice. Albom is a very good writer in combining two dimension of time in the different world, so the reader can easily picture many places that has been described in the novel

Ensuring Access to Fair and Affordable Financial Services: A survey report on barriers faced by low-income immigrants in NYC

Access to fair and affordable financial services is a critical economic justice issue facing immigrant New Yorkers -- across income, language and cultural groups. Despite NYC's sizable immigrant population -- nearly 40% of New Yorkers, or close to three million people, are foreign-born -- and despite New York's status as the nation's banking capital, NYC banks are conspicuously not at the national forefront in providing services to immigrants.In 2006, the Network designed and implemented a city-wide Immigrant Banking Survey to increase understanding about immigrant New Yorkers' financial services experiences and needs. The survey gathered information about immigrants' access to bank accounts, as well as their use of credit and methods of sending remittances to their home countries. The Network survey team interviewed approximately 600 immigrant New Yorkers between August 2006 and January 2007. Surveys were gathered at community fairs, workshops, schools, churches, food pantries and other locations, as well as through on-the-street interviews. All surveys were conducted verbally by trained staff and volunteers, in respondents' native languages or a language in which they were proficient. Survey results did not differ significantly between randomly interviewed community members and constituents of nonprofit organizations. Findings presented in this report are based on 546 valid surveys completed by immigrants from 74 countries. Findings may be applied to the NYC immigrant population as a whole. The size and diversity of the sample, however, does not allow us to make generalized comparisons among all nationalities.NEDAP released a preliminary summary of survey findings in 2007. This report provides more detailed findings and includes recommendations for expanding equitable financial services access in immigrant communities

Cephalometric Patterns on Javanese, Bataks and Chinese Students in Jakarta

In 2000 a cephalometric survey has been done on both genders of Javanese, Bataks and Chinese students at the University of Indonesia (UI), the Indonesian Christian University (UKI) and the Christian University of Jakarta (UKRIDA) with the aim to detect their cephalometric characteristics patterns and the degree of their secular changes with their ancestors. Cephalometric parameters were measured as follows: the maximal head length (glabellaopisthocranion), the maximal head breadth (euryon-euryon), the minimal forehead breadth (frontotemporalefrontotemporale), the morphological facial height (suborbitale-gnathion), the bizygomatic breadth (zygion-zygion) and the bi-gonion breadth (gonion gonion). In addition measurements were done on facial soft tissue factors such as the nasal height (suborbitale-subnasale) the nasal breadth (alare-alare), the ear length (superaurale-subaurale) and the ear breadth (preaurale-postaurale). The results were treated statistically using t test to obtain the degree of significance. It was determined that some cephalometric characteristics have undergone secular changes but both genders of Bataks, Javanese and Chinese students seemed to depict their retainment of their respective ancestors cephalometric characteristics, consequently their cephalometric characteristic differences were still detectable
