Malaysians’ popular online shopping websites during movement control order (Mco)

Movement Control Order (MCO) has been announced since the pandemic of corona virus spread cases increased dramatically. The key point emphasized in the implementation of MCO is a social distancing where is only one person is allowed to go out to seek daily necessities during daytime. Moreover, only selected essential business is allowed to operate with limited hour from 8 am to 8 pm only. Due to this order, the e-commerce has become an option to most consumers to fulfill their wants and needs. This paper presents the descriptive data that shows the shopping website that has been mostly visited by the consumers during the MCO phase one and phase two and the influencing factors of selected web sites to purchase during MCO. A survey was conducted throughout the country including Sabah and Sarawak using an open-ended questionnaire that was distributed online. A quantitative method with a descriptive research design was adopted to explore the data obtained in relation to the objective of the research. A total number of 280 adults from 14 states provided valid responses to the online questionnaire. The findings show that the top three shopping website that has been visited by the consumers were the Shopee, Lazada and Food Panda that sell general daily necessities needed by the consumers. The findings also showed that the elements of comfortable website referring to the attractive design, friendly user, having a selection of native language, amount of uploaded information and updating of the product details were the factors that contribute towards the attractions of consumers to be involved in online purchasin

The Physical Structure of Protoplanetary Disks: the Serpens Cluster Compared with Other Regions

Spectral energy distributions are presented for 94 young stars surrounded by disks in the Serpens Molecular Cloud, based on photometry and Spitzer IRS spectra. Taking a distance to the cloud of 415 pc rather than 259 pc, the distribution of ages is shifted to lower values, in the 1-3 Myr range, with a tail up to 10 Myr. The mass distribution spans 0.2-1.2 Msun, with median mass of 0.7 Msun. The distribution of fractional disk luminosities in Serpens resembles that of the young Taurus Molecular Cloud, with most disks consistent with optically thick, passively irradiated disks in a variety of disk geometries (Ldisk/Lstar ~ 0.1). In contrast, the distributions for the older Upper Scorpius and Eta Chamaeleontis clusters are dominated by optically thin lower luminosity disks (Ldisk/Lstar ~ 0.02). This evolution in fractional disk luminosities is concurrent with that of disk fractions. The actively accreting and non-accreting stars (based on Ha data) in Serpens show very similar distributions in fractional disk luminosities, differing only in the brighter tail dominated by strongly accreting stars. In contrast with a sample of Herbig Ae/Be stars, the T Tauri stars in Serpens do not have a clear separation in fractional disk luminosities for different disk geometries: both flared and flat disks present wider, overlapping distributions. This result is consistent with previous suggestions of a faster evolution for disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars. Furthermore, the results for the mineralogy of the dust in the disk surface do not show any correlation to either stellar and disk characteristics or mean cluster age in the 1-10 Myr range probed here. A possible explanation for the lack of correlation is that the processes affecting the dust within disks have short timescales, happening repeatedly, making it difficult to distinguish long lasting evolutionary effects.

Tindakan Kolektif Perlawanan Pembuat Petasan Terhadap Aturan Hukum Di Kampung Petasan Kabupaten Jombang

Penelitian pada pembuat petasan ini didasari pada tindakan kolektif perlawanan mereka lakukan untuk tetap berusaha mempertahankan kegiatan tersebut.Dalam melihat kronologi kemunculan perlawanannya, ada dua poin yang terpenting yaitu pertama, akibat ingatan bersama pada masa pemerintahan Orde Baru.Pada masa pemerintahan ini, kegiatan membuat petasan sempat berhenti akibat sikap represi Negara.Kedua, adanya hubungan pola resiprositas diantara pembuat petasan dan masyarakat sekitar untuk saling membantu melakukan tindakan kolektif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis lebih dalam tindakan kolektif perlawanan pembuat petasan terhadap aturan hukum yang dijalankan aparat Negara.Dalam melihat kasus permasalahan ini, peneliti menggunakan telaah perspektif Scott tentang perlawanan masyarakat petani kelas bawah kepada elit petani.Analogi perlawanan inilah yang digunakan peneliti untuk menganalisis permasalahanyang terjadi lokasi penelitian. Berdasarkan penelitian yang sudah dilakukan, banyak ditemukan kesamaan bentuk perlawanan yang diteliti Scott dengan perlawanan yang dilakukan pembuat petasan.Cara-cara seperti upaya menghalang-halangi, sabotase, pemboikotan, dan upaya menghilangkan jejak, merupakan bentuk-bentuk perlawanan tersebut. Akan tetapi, meskipun perlawanan ini banyak menggunakan model Scott, tidak berarti hanya sebatas perlawanan semacam ini yang dilakukan. Mereka juga melakukan upaya kolektif perlawanan terbuka terhadap kepolisian.Sehingga berangkat dari hasil penelitian ini, peneliti juga memiliki telaah kritis tersendiri terhadap perlawanan yang dinyatakan oleh Scott bersifat statis. Kondisi ini karena masyarakat yang bersifat dinamis, tentunya juga akan melakukan perlawanan secaraterbuka kalau tidak sesuai dengan tujuan bersama

The Incidence and Clinical Relevance of Graft Hypertrophy After Matrix-Based Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation

Background: Graft hypertrophy is the most common complication of periosteal autologous chondrocyte implantation (p-ACI). Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the development, the incidence rate, and the persistence of graft hypertrophy after matrix-based autologous chondrocyte implantation (mb-ACI) in the knee joint within a 2-year postoperative course. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Between 2004 and 2007, a total of 41 patients with 44 isolated cartilage defects of the knee were treated with the mb-ACI technique. The mean age of the patients was 35.8 years (standard deviation [SD], 11.3 years), and the mean body mass index was 25.9 (SD, 4.2; range, 19-35.3). The cartilage defects were arthroscopically classified as Outerbridge grades III and IV. The mean area of the cartilage defect measured 6.14 cm2 (SD, 2.3 cm2). Postoperative clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were conducted at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months to analyze the incidence and course of the graft. Results: Graft hypertrophy developed in 25% of the patients treated with mb-ACI within a postoperative course of 1 year; 16% of the patients developed hypertrophy grade 2, and 9% developed hypertrophy grade 1. Graft hypertrophy occurred primarily in the first 12 months and regressed in most cases within 2 years. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores improved during the postoperative follow-up time of 2 years. There was no difference between the clinical results regarding the IKDC and VAS pain scores and the presence of graft hypertrophy. Conclusion: The mb-ACI technique does not lead to graft hypertrophy requiring treatment as opposed to classic p-ACI. The frequency of occurrence of graft hypertrophy after p-ACI and mb-ACI is comparable. Graft hypertrophy can be considered as a temporary excessive growth of regenerative cartilage tissue rather than a true graft hypertrophy. It is therefore usually not a persistent or systematic complication in the treatment of circumscribed cartilage defects with mb-ACI

Bayesian spatial+: A joint model perspective

A common phenomenon in spatial regression models is spatial confounding. This phenomenon occurs when spatially indexed covariates modeling the mean of the response are correlated with a spatial effect included in the model. spatial+ Dupont et al. (2022) is a popular approach to reducing spatial confounding. spatial+ is a two-stage frequentist approach that explicitly models the spatial structure in the confounded covariate, removes it, and uses the corresponding residuals in the second stage. In a frequentist setting, there is no uncertainty propagation from the first stage estimation determining the residuals since only point estimates are used. Inference can also be cumbersome in a frequentist setting, and some of the gaps in the original approach can easily be remedied in a Bayesian framework. First, a Bayesian joint model can easily achieve uncertainty propagation from the first to the second stage of the model. In a Bayesian framework, we also have the tools to infer the model's parameters directly. Notably, another advantage of using a Bayesian framework we thoroughly explore is the ability to use prior information to impose restrictions on the spatial effects rather than applying them directly to their posterior. We build a joint prior for the smoothness of all spatial effects that simultaneously shrinks towards a high smoothness of the response and imposes that the spatial effect in the response is a smoother of the confounded covariates' spatial effect. This prevents the response from operating at a smaller scale than the covariate and can help to avoid situations where there is insufficient variation in the residuals resulting from the first stage model. We evaluate the performance of the Bayesian spatial+ via both simulated and real datasets

Hubungan Antara Body Image Dengan Kecenderungan Melakukan Perilaku Seksual Pada Remaja Putri Selama Masa Pacaran

Kecenderungan melakukan perilaku seksual pada remaja selama masa pacaran adalah keseluruhan disposisi dalam proses membina hubungan cinta antar remaja berdasarkan unsur keakraban dan nafsu seksual untuk melakukan suatu perilaku yang didasari oleh hasrat seksual atau kegiatan yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan kepuasan seksual melalui berbagai perilaku, tetapi tidak ada niat untuk melanjutkan ke jenjang pernikahan. Body image dapat didefinisikan gambaran tubuh yang dibentuk oleh seseorang yang dipengaruhi oleh pemikiran mengenai keindahan atau keburukan tubuh, bentuk tubuh ideal, berat badan, dan kecantikan menurut seseorang. Selama masa pubertas, remaja, khususnya putri memberikan perhatian yang lebih besar pada keadaan tubuhnya.Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswi kelas XI dan XII SMA A Semarang dan sampel penelitian berjumlah 120 siswi. Penentuan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik Proportional Random Sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan skala kecenderungan melakukan perilaku seksual pada remaja yang terdiri dari 41 aitem (α=0,953) dan skala body image yang terdiri dari 19 aitem (α=0,912).Analisis regresi sederhana menunjukkan rxy=0,278 dengan p=0,000 (p<0,05), artinya terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara body image dengan kecenderungan melakukan perilaku seksual pada remaja putri selama masa pacaran. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa remaja putri yang memiliki body image yang positif maka kecenderungan melakukan perilaku seksual selama masa pacaran semakin tinggi. Sebaliknya, apabila remaja putri yang memiliki body image negatif maka kecenderungan melakukan perilaku seksual selama masa pacaran semakin rendah. Sumbangan efektif body image dengan kecenderungan melakukan perilaku seksual selama masa pacaran yaitu sebesar 7,8% sedangkan 92,2% berasal dari faktor-faktor lain yang tidak diungkap dalam penelitian ini

Rythmes et structures dans le roman québécois de 1950 à 1965. Thèse de doctorat ès lettres (littérature québécoise), mai 1975, XXIV + 214 p.

Positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), which comprises cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) kinase and cyclin T subunits, is an essential kinase complex in human cells. Phosphorylation of the negative elongation factors by P-TEFb is required for productive elongation of transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II). In addition, P-TEFb-mediated phosphorylation of the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of pol II mediates the recruitment of transcription and RNA processing factors during the transcription cycle. CDK9 also phosphorylates p53, a tumor suppressor that plays a central role in cellular responses to a range of stress factors. Many viral factors affect transcription by recruiting or modulating the activity of CDK9. In this review, we will focus on how the function of CDK9 is regulated by viral gene products. The central role of CDK9 in viral life cycles suggests that drugs targeting the interaction between viral products and P-TEFb could be effective anti-viral agents
