Arthalamkara: One of the Kawya Aesthetic Styles of Geguritan Sucita

Geguritan Sucita, a literary work composed by Ida Ketut Jlantik (1905-1961), is a transformed work from Old-Javanese religious text, which has been very popularly spread to the community of anak nyastra ‘the devotees of Balinese traditional letters’. The words chosen are composed in accordance with the alamkara style and on the basis of arrangement called padalingsa. Based on the analysis of alamkara ‘stylistic’, it can be found out that Geguritan Sucita has a complete and beautiful arthalamkara ‘figure of speech’ in which there are sixteen different kinds. Among those 16 kinds of figure of speech, the rupaka ‘comparison, metaphor’ is the dominant style to be utilized. It conforms to the goal of Jlantik in composing Geguritan Sucita, that is, to transform the religious values of Hinduism. The religious values, particularly its aspects of divinity, are transcendent. Because of the fact that it is very difficult to elucidate, therefore, Jlantik applies the rupaka style much more than the others, because of being very effective to turn the religious concepts that is abstract to become concrete.

Epidemiological approach to nosocomial infection surveillance data: the Japanese Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System

Surveillance of nosocomial infection is the foundation of infection control. Nosocomial infection surveillance data ought to be summarized, reported, and fed back to health care personnel for corrective action. Using the Japanese Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (JANIS) data, we determined the incidence of nosocomial infections in intensive care units (ICUs) of Japanese hospitals and assessed the impact of nosocomial infections on mortality and length of stay. We also elucidated individual and environmental factors associated with nosocomial infections, examined the benchmarking of infection rates and developed a practical tool for comparing infection rates with case-mix adjustment. The studies carried out to date using the JANIS data have provided valuable information on the epidemiology of nosocomial infections in Japanese ICUs, and this information will contribute to the development of evidence-based infection control programs for Japanese ICUs. We conclude that current surveillance systems provide an inadequate feedback of nosocomial infection surveillance data and, based on our results, suggest a methodology for assessing nosocomial infection surveillance data that will allow infection control professionals to maintain their surveillance systems in good working order

EVALUASI PELAKSANAAN PROYEK PERUMAHAN ADHI GRAHA SENTOSA TIPE 21 DAN 30 dengan ANALISIS CASHFLOW (Studi Kasus pada PT. Adhisatya Jaya Utama)

ABSTRAKSI PT. Adhisatya Jaya Utama merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang real estate dan properti. PT. Adhisatya Jaya Utama melaksanakan proyek perumahan Rumah Sederhana (RS) yang bertujuan untuk membangun 236 rumah sederhana yang direncanakan dalam waktu 2,5 tahun. Pada awal pelaksanaan proyek belum dibuat rencana cashflow yang dapat digunakan sebagai dasar dalam menjalankan proyek. Sampai sekarang pun cashflow yang menggambarkan perjalanan pelaksanaan proyek juga belum terdokumentasikan dengan baik. Untuk mengoptimalkan kegiatan pelaksanaan proyek dan juga sebagai dasar pelaksanaan proyek-proyek sejenis berikutnya, maka dilakukan penyusunan cashflow perencanaan yang seharusnya disusun di awal pelaksanaan proyek, cashflow eksisting pelaksanaan proyek saat ini dan prediksi revisi yang dapat dilakukan terhadap cashflow eksisting yang sedang dan sudah berjalan. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan data dan analisa didapat kesimpulan bahwa pelaksanaan proyek yang saat ini sudah dan sedang berjalan kondisinya masih bisa dioptimalkan lagi sehingga diperoleh RoE (Return on Equity) yang lebih baik. Besarnya modal perusahaan yang telah dikeluarkan dalam pelaksanaan proyek sebelum dilakukan perbaikan adalah Rp 3.051.000.000 dengan RoE sebesar 42%. Sedangkan besarnya modal yang dibutuhkan untuk pelaksanaan proyek setelah dilakukan perencanaan ulang adalah Rp 1.896.025.000 dengan RoE sebesar 66,87%. Untuk pelaksanaan proyek-proyek perumahan sekanjutnya penulis memberikan rekomendasi agar pemilik proyek melakukan penyusunan cashflow sebelum menjalankan proyek. Pembiayaan modal sebaiknya dirancang menjadi beberapa alternatif pembiayaan, dan di gunakan alternatif pembiayaan yang memberikan RoE paling besar

Sedimentary Processes and Sedimentation in the Shallow Offshore, Eastern Niger Delta, Gulf of Guinea

The Cretaceous Afikpo sedimentary Basin in Southeastern Nigeria contains rocks of fluvial, deltaic and shallow marine origin. This study examines the role of sedimentary processes in sediment distribution in the various geologic environments. The outcrop sections and the Afikpo River were studied by visual observation and photographing of important features during a field mapping exercise. Well log data from the Niger Delta Basin were also used to infer depositional environments based on gamma ray log motifs. These outcrop sections consist of fluvial, deltaic and shallow marine sediments that occurred as braids, point-bars, mouth-bars and beach/regressive bars. Braids and point-bar deposits also occurred within the recent Afikpo River channel, a major conduit transporting sediments to the offshore area of eastern Niger Delta. Sandstone outcrops showing a mouth-bar architecture occurred at Akpoha Town east of Afikpo Town, with a shallow marine sequence at Amasiri area, west of Afikpo Town. The Amasiri sandstone is a massive outcrop with large lateral extent covering more than 8 kilometers. Gamma ray log trends observed on well log from offshore area in the eastern Niger Delta indicated deposits of fluvial, deltaic and shallow marine origin

Geologic Characteristics and Production Response of the N5.2 Reservoir, Shallow Offshore Niger Delta, Nigeria

Sedimentary facies and structural lineaments represent significant control factors on hydrocarbon flow behavior. These geological elements have been evaluated to understand possible cause(s) of rapid decline in pro¬duction. The N5.2 reservoir, located in shallow marine sandstones, offshore Niger Delta, has experienced decline in oil rate with a corresponding increase in water-cut within two years of beginning of production. The main objective of this study is the determination of reservoir architecture in order to individuate the possible cause(s) of rapid production decline. To this aim, several methods have been used, including the seismic attribute analysis, electrofacies analysis, well log and petrophysical correlations. The obtained results show that the N5.2 reservoir is a massive sandy unit, occurring within the paralic Agbada Formation of about 2133 m thick. A contour depth map of the reservoir shows the occurrence of a structural saddle associated with an elongated closure having two structural culminations. Further analysis using the root mean square (RMS) and anti-tracking seismic attributes has indicated a seismic facies parallel to the paleo-coastline direction and several faults and fractures. The high quality of the reservoir, fractures, poor management and water injection may have induced rapid fluid flow and consequently early watercut and decline in production
