Samples of Catechism Revision

This inquiry is to assist our committee in determining the general form that our advanced Catechism ought to have. We speak here of an advanced Catechism because Synod has resolved to publish also a shorter and simpler book, to be known as the elementary, or junior, Catechism

PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN POTONGAN KARUNG PLASTIK SEBAGAI BAHAN CAMPURAN UNTUK MEMPERKUAT TIMBUNAN TANAH LEMPUNG

Terbatasnya lahan untuk pembangunan yang diperlukan mengakibatkan tidak dapat dihindarinya pembangunan di atas tanah lempung seperti tanah yang ada di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting untuk mencampurkan bahan tambahan sebagai campuran ke dalam tanah lempung tersebut untuk meningkatkan kualitas daya dukung tanah pada tanah lempung. Karena banyaknya permintaan karung plastik, limbah karung plastik menjadi semakin banyak, maka peneliti mencoba untuk memanfaatkan serat karung plastik tersebut sebagai bahan campuran pada tanah lempung benda uji. Dengan mencampurkan potongan serat karung plastik ke dalam tanah lempung, diharapkan tanah lempung campuran serat karung plastik tersebut dapat meningkatkan kepadatan tanah dan dapat memperkuat kuat geser tanah. Studi ini meliputi, studi literatur dan penelitian di Laboratorium Mekanika Tanah ITN Malang pada tanggal 7 April – 19 Juli 2019. Tanah benda uji dalam penelitian ini berasal dari Ds. Argotirto, Kec. Sumbermanjing Wetan, Kab. Malang dan bahan campuran potongan serat karung plastik sepanjang ≥ 1cm - ≤ 3cm dengan variasi kadar campuran; 1%, 1,5%, 2%, 2,5%, 3% dari berat total tanah saat kadar air optimum. Penelitian ini meliputi pengujian sifat fisik dan sifat teknis. Pengujian sifat fisik meliputi; Kadar Air Tanah Asli (w), Berat Jenis (Gs), Analisa Saringan, Analisa Hidrometer, Uji Plastisitas (LL, PL, SL), Tingkat Pengembangan, dan Tingkat Keaktifan (Activity). Pengujian sifat teknis meliputi; Compaction Standard dan Modified, Triaxial UU, dan Unconfined Compression, masing-masing pengujian terdiri dari 3 sampel. Dengan dibantu uji hipotesis data untuk mengetahui adanya pengaruh atau tidak adanya pengaruh dalam pengujian tanah lempung campuran serat karung plastik tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, tanah benda uji penelitian tersebut termasuk dalam tanah MH (Lanau anorganik atau pasir halus diatomac, atau lanau diatomac, lanau yang elastis). Nilai hasil pengujian campuran serat karung plastik cenderung meningkat dibandingkan tanah tanpa campuran. Nilai tertinggi untuk bahan timbunan mendapatkan prosentase kadar campuran serat karung plastik sebanyak 3% pada pengujian Modified Compaction sebesar; 1,528g/cm3, dengan nilai kadar air (w) sebesar; 26,89%. Pada pengujian Triaxial UU, mendapatkan nilai Kohesi (c) sebesar; 0,350kg/cm², dengan nilai Sudut Geser (φ) sebesar; 6,277 pada kadar campuran 3%. Dan pada pengujian Unconfined Compression, mendapatkan nilai Tegangan Normal (qu) sebesar; 0,681kgf/cm2 pada kadar campuran 1%

Treatment patterns and burden of behavioral disturbances in patients with dementia in the United States: a claims database analysis

Abstract Background Although patients with dementia frequently experience neuropsychological symptoms (NPS) such as agitation, which profoundly impacts patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system, few studies have evaluated the associated burden of agitation or agitation-related symptoms in dementia. Methods This retrospective analysis of claims data from the Truven Health MarketScan® database (2012–2015) compared clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and costs among patients with dementia with behavioral disturbances (BD) versus patients with dementia without BD. Existing BD diagnosis codes 294.11 or 294.21 were used as a means to identify patients with agitation/agitation-related symptoms. Results From a starting sample of 6.4 million beneficiaries, 103,402 patients with dementia were identified, of whom 16,440 (16%) had BD during an average of 17 months of follow-up. Patients with BD had significantly more medical and psychiatric comorbidities and greater comedication use (i.e., antidementia drugs, antidepressants, and antipsychotics; all values, P < .0001) compared with patients without BD. A significantly greater number of hospitalizations, hospital days, outpatient hospital/clinic visits, number of skilled nursing visits, and number of patients with hospice visit were reported during follow-up in patients with BD compared with patients without BD (all values, P <  0.0001). Costs were also significantly higher among patients with BD versus those patients without BD ($42,284 vs.$32,640, respectively; P <  0.0001). Conclusions Patients with dementia with BD had a higher prevalence of comorbidities, greater use of comedications, and greater healthcare utilization and costs than patients with dementia without BD
