The Role of Perceived Uncertainty, Ego Identity, and Perceived Behavioral Control in Predicting Patient's Attitude Toward Medical Surgery

Medical surgery has sometimes become the only best choice for a patient's well-being. Unfortunately, not all patients have the willingness to live it. Often, therapeutic failure is caused by uncooperative attitudes of the patients which originate from their negative attitudes toward the surgery. This research is aimed at finding a theoretical model to explain psychological factors forming the patient's attitudes. This predictive correlational research was conducted on 99 patients suffering heart disease and cancer continuum who require medical surgery in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. Research results showed that a commitment aspect of ego identity is able to indirectly predict attitude toward medical surgery through mediation of perceived uncertainty. Perceived behavioral control directly predicts the attitude in a negative direction. This research concludes that patients' commitment towards their identity plays a significant role as they deal with medical surgery

Peranan Larutan Pengawet Terhadap Mutu Bunga Potong Alpinia Selama Peragaan

Larutan perendam (pulsing) merupakan suatu larutan yang diberikan segera pada bunga sebelum pengiriman untuk memberi tambahan energi, melindungi tangkai bunga dari serangan mikroorganisme penyebab penyumbatan, dan menunda kelayuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh komposisi larutan perendam yang tepat dalam upaya memperpanjang masa kesegaran bunga potong Alpinia. Penelitian dilakukan sejak Agustus 2005 sampai dengan Februari 2006 di Kebun Percobaan Pasarminggu, Balai Penelitian Tanaman Hias.Tiga jenis bahan pengawet digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu gula pasir dengan lima taraf konsentrasi 5, 10, 15, 20, dan 25% serta AgNO3 50 ppm dan asam sitrat 50 ppm (pH 3-4) dengan lama perendaman 2 dan 10 jam. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok faktorial dengan lima ulangan dan lima tangkai bunga potong per unit perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa larutan perendam yang mengandung AgNO3 50 ppm + gula 20% + asam sitrat 50 ppm (pH 3-4) dengan perendaman selama 2 jam memberikan hasil terbaik, yaitu masa kesegaran bunga potong mencapai 11,22 hari (atau 5,56 hari lebih lama dibanding tanpa perendaman) dengan persentase pembukaan braktea sebesar 33,14%. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dimanfaatkan untuk merancang pengaturan suplai bunga potong ke pasar.Pulsing solution is commonly used to prolong vaselife by dipping the flower stalks in a solution containing sugars and germicides before delivering to give energy and to prevent the plugging of stalks by microbial growth, and to postpone wilting of flowers. The experiment was conducted to determine the appropriate composition of pulsing solution to prolong vaselife of Alpinia cut flowers. Three kinds of pulsing solution were tested in the experiment i.e. sucrose with concentration levels of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%, 50 ppm AgNO3, and 50 ppm citric acid (pH 3-4) with dipping periods of 2 and 10 hours. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized block design with five replications and five cut flowers stalks per treatments. The results indicated that pulsing solution containing 50 ppm AgNO3 + 20% sugar + 50 ppm citric acid (pH 3-4) with the 2 hours dipping period was the best treatment exhibited vaselife up to 11.22 days or 5.56 days longer than control, and with bud opening of 33.14%. The result implies that the such method can be exploited to arrange cut flower supply to the market

Exploration and Identification of Spermatophyta Plants Division that are potentially can be used for Medicine at Evergreen Forest taman Nasional Baluran Indonesia

Indonesia is a country that has so many various floras. Nowadays Indonesia has more than 300.000 kinds of floras. More than 8000 kinds of plant belongto medicinal plants.WHO (World Health Organization) has stated about 80% of the population is still dependent on medicinal plants.

The results from the exploration are found 22 types of medicinal plants which are included in 12 families and all of the medicinal plants can be use formedicine. The parts of the plants that can be utilized as a medicine are roots, leaves, flowers and even bark. From the parts of the medicinal plant leafs are the most potential parts for medicine.
