Dari data tahun 2008-2013 menunjukkan bahwa kasus difteri terus mengalami peningkatan. Berdasarkan survey pendahuluan didapatkan bahwa pelaksanaan penanggulangan KLB difteri belum sesuai standar. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menjelaskan bagaimana pelaksanaan penanggulangan KLB difteri di Kota Surabaya. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Informan penelitian adalah petugas yang menangani KLB baik di Dinas Kesehatan maupun Puskesmas. Sedangkan informan triangulasi adalah Asisten Kesra dan Ketua Komisi D DPRD Kota Surabaya, Ka. Kecamatan, Ka. Kelurahan, Ibu Kader/PKK dan keluarga penderita. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara mendalam (indepth interview) dan selanjutnya dilakukan pengolahan data menggunakan metode analisis isi (content analysis). Pelaksanaan penanggulangan difteri di Kota Surabaya menunjukkan bahwa paraturan perundangan untuk penanggulangan KLB belum memadai, SOP belum terdistribusi dengan baik, penelitian belum pernah dilakukan, pencegahan dan mitigasi, peringatan dini serta kesiapsiagaan belum dilakukan secara optimal. Saat tanggap darurat Puskesmas masih bersikap reaktif dan mengandalkan instruksi dari Dinkes Kota Surabaya. Pada saat pemulihan belum ada pengawasan profilaksis dan pemantauan status imunisasi ulang. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan beberapa saran yaitu bagi Dinas Kesehatan agar meningkatkan kerjasama lintas sektor maupun lintas program, mengadakan penilaian secara independen pada Tim Gerak Cepat, dan memastikan pendistribusian SOP KLB difteri hingga tingkat pelaksana di Puskesmas. Sedangkan bagi Puskesmas diharapkan lebih bertindak proaktif, melakukan koordinasi dan komunikasi secara intensif antar tim, pengawasan profilaksis, status imunisasi, dan kondisi pasien saat pemulihan.

Corrective Feedback and Repair Strategies in Meaning-focused Language Classroom

The practice of corrective feedback in communicative language classroom has become a debate among applied linguists. Some consider it obstructs students' fluent speech and some assert it is vital to show students their linguistic gaps. This study aims to describe the practice of oral corrective feedback in meaning-focused instruction specifically to answer the questions 1) what is to correct, 2) how it is corrected, and 3) how repair is constructed. The data are in the forms of teacher's and students' utterances obtained through video recording during meaning-focused instruction in a secondary school. The result shows that in meaning-focused instruction, the ESL teacher mainly corrects semantic errors and among six types of corrective feedback (explicit correction, recast, clarification request, metalinguistic feedback, elicitation, and repetition), the teacher mostly uses elicitation and recast while the repair strategies that occur in this class takes the pattern of other initiation-self repair. So, it can be concluded that in a meaning-focused instruction the teacher does not relatively interrupt the students' fluent speech and that the communicative activity is maintained. And with self-repair, students notice their linguistic gaps. Therefore corrective feedback is still worth practicing in meaning-focused language classrooms

Lintasan rantai berbentuk segitiga Pythagoras pada alat pembangkit energi mekanik dengan menggunakan energi potensial AI

Di beberapa lokasi pembangkit listrik tenaga air skala mikro hidro yang beroperasi,umumnya mempunyai desain yang sederhana, daya tidak sesuai dengan energi yang tersedia, serta efisiensi rendah. Disamping itu kurangnya pengetahuan pengoperasian serta perawatan mesin pada pembangkit listrik tenaga air skala mikro hidro, maka banyak ditemukan pembangkit listrik tenaga air skala mikro hidro yang rusak atau tidak beroperasi, disamping itu apabila musim kemarau pembangkit listrik tenaga mikro hidro juga tidak bisa digunakan karena aliran sungai nya mengecil dan kering. Untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut maka tujuan invensi adalah bentuk lintasan pythagoras pada alat pembangkit energi mekanik menggunakan turbin dengan kincir tipe rantai dilengkapi dengan sudu tabung. Alat pembangkit energi mekanik dengan menggunakan energi potensial air adalah memanfaatkan beda ketinggian dari dua tandon air yang telah dibuat, dua tandon air tersebut yang satu sebagai tempat penampungan dan satu lagi sebagai pen suplai air ke sudu tabung. Untuk menaikkan air menggunakan pompa. Kemudian energi potensial yang di dapat dirubah menjadi energi gerak (energi kinetik) dengan menggunakan turbin. Turbin yang digunakan terdiri dari dua jenis roda bergigi yaitu; roda bergigi besar terletak diatas dan roda bergigi kecil terletak dibawah, yang dijadikan satu dengan rantai menjadi satu sistem yang bergerak dengan lintasan berbentuk segitiga pythagoras, sistem rantai yang dilengkapi dengan sudu tabung tersebut akan bergerak kebawah setelah terisi oleh air sesuai dengan arah rantai yaitu kebawah miring kedalam dimana kemiringan ditentukan oleh perbandingan antara diameter roda bergigi besar dan diameter roda bergigi kecil, sudu tabung yang terisi oleh air volume nya dipertahankan, tujuannya melipat gandakan konversi dari energi potensial ke energi kinetik yang ada pada setiap sudu tabung yang terisi oleh air dibandingkan dengan jika tidak ada kemiringan

Soetijono Public Hospital in Blora xviii + 93 pages + 6 tables + 6 figures + 28 appendices Number of medical specialist at Dr. R. Soetijono Public Hospital in Blora is insufficient. This situation has happened since 10 years ago until now. The aim of this study was to figure out strategic efforts in recruiting medical specialist at the Dr. R. Soetijono Public Hospital in Blora. This was a qualitative study. Main informants consisted of director of a hospital, head of service department, head of medical service section, internist, paediatrician, surgeon, and PPDS. Informants for triangulation purpose consisted of three regional secretaries of Blora District and head of commission D at parliament of Blora District. Data were analysed using content analysis. The results of indepth interview showed that there was any effort to recruit medical specialists. Notwithstanding, medical specialists who met criteria had not been obtained. Some normative efforts were made by offering fresh graduate medical specialists cooperating with the centre of education. In addition, the offer also was provided to medical specialist students who undertook stase at the hospital. The local government of Blora District had provided scholarships for medical specialist students that had made MoU with Blora District. Provided compensation had not attracted medical specialists who worked at the Dr. R. Soetijono Public Hospital. Some strategic efforts need to be made for recruiting medical specialists by providing real support from the local government of Blora District like allocating regional budget for compensation for medical specialists who have been working at the hospital or those who are just interested in working at the hospital. These efforts are expected to attract medical specialists. Keywords : Recruitment Effort, Selection, Medical Specialist Bibliography: 50 (1984-2016

The Syntactic Functions of Conversational Implicature Utterances with Academic Context: Pragmasyntactic Studies

Background: Pragmatic analysis has been widely developed through the use of an implicature.&nbsp; This paper tries to focus on the syntactical functions elaborated from an academic discourse as the focus of analysis.&nbsp; This study aimed to find the syntactic function of conversational interference spoken by speakers in academic contextual communication. The syntactical functions were identified in three parts: predicate, subject, and adverbs. Methodology: To achieve this objective, data in the form of oral statements with academic background were collected using note-taking techniques from 114 subjects through participant observation in lecture activities, online and offline meetings, discussions, final project consultations, and training. The data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman flow technique through data reduction, data presentation, and the conclusion/verification of data analysis results. Findings: Results show that pragmatic expressions that can help the speaker to identify the intent of the speaker were positioned as fillers of predicates, subjects, and information. This pragmatic expression is the impact of the incomprehensibility or inconsistency of the narrator with the speaker who was previously the listener. For the sake of completeness, speakers add other pragmatic expressions with substitution strategies, additions, and conditional forms with an orientation that prioritizes politeness by avoiding direct speech with the negation of 'tidak (no),' 'belum (not yet),' 'bukan (not)' and 'jangan (not)

Detection and Identification of Human Herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) Infection by Polymerase Chain Reactions and Restriction Endonuclease Analysis

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a widespread causative agent of exanthum subitum or roseola infantum. The species of HHV-6 is divided into two variants, HHV-6A and HHV 6-B, which might be detected and identified by PCR and RE methods. The three samples of eye swabs from children with suspected HHV-6 neurological illness were extracted by guanidium isothiocyanate method before running in PCR followed by agarose electrophoresis as a detection stage. The positive results were then identified by RE analysis to determine the variant of the viruses. One of the three samples (sample 2) shows positive result in direct electrophoresis and it was identified as HHV-6B which produced two fragments of 153bp and 70bp in the RE analysis. PCR and RE analysis are useful methods in detection as well as identification of HHV-

Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan Untuk Klasifikasi Kualitas Kacang Hijau Berdasarkan Warna Dan Ukuran

Kebutuhan kacang hijau terus meningkat dari tahun ke tahun, hal ini menyebabkan penyimpanan kacang hijau di gudang sangat dibutuhkan. Penyimpanan kacang hijau di gudang akan memperngaruhi kualitas kacang sehingga perlu mendapat perhatian serius. Parameter untuk penentuan kualitas kacang hijau diantaranya dinilai berdasarkan warna dan ukurannya dan biasanya dilakukan oleh pengamat. Faktor kelelahan dan perbedaan persepsi pada masing-masing pengamat menyebabkan proses klasifikasi kualitas kacang hijau tidak optimal. Jaringan syaraf tiruan yang di padu dengan pengolahan citra mampu menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, karena data hasil pengolahan citra lebih tepat dan obyektif, dan jaringan syaraf tiruan mampu memberikan keputusan kualitas kacang hijau karena telah dilatih mengenali pola data hasil pengolahan citra kacang hijau. Metode yang digunakan untuk merancang sistem ini adalah tanya jawab, literatur, dan eksperimen. Dari metode tersebut akan dibuat sistem image processing yang dipadu dengan jaringan syaraf tiruan. Image processing digunakan untuk memproses gambar kacang hijau sehingga menghasilkan data yang akan digunakan sebagai input jaringan syaraf tiruan dan jaringan akan menentukan kualitas kacang apakah baik atau buruk. Metode jaringan yang digunakan adalah jaringan backpropagation dengan pembelajaran terbimbing (supervised learning). Model Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan (JST) yang digunakan terdiri dari tiga layer, layer input dengan 12 node input, layer tersembunyi dengan 800 node, dan layer output dengan 4 node keluaran. Hasil yang dicapai jaringan mampu mengenali 29% terhadap data baru yang belum dilatihkan
