Pemodelan Peran Perempuan Terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di Jawa Timur Tahun 2010-2014 Menggunakan Regresi Data Panel

Pertumbuhan ekonomi merupakan suatu indikator yang dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui keberhasilan pembangunan suatu daerah. Berdasarkan data dari BPS, pertumbuhan ekonomi di Jawa Timur semakin meningkat dari tahun 2010 sebesar 990648,80 miliar menjadi 1262700,20 miliar pada tahun 2014. Peningkatan ini mengindikasikan bahwa keberhasilan pembangunan di Jawa Timur telah tercapai. Namun keberhasilan pembangunan tidak hanya didasarkan pada pertumbuhan ekonomi saja, didasarkan pula pada pertumbuhan sumber daya manusia. Provinsi Jawa Timur yang mempunyai penduduk perempuan lebih besar berpotensi untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan pembangunan dengan banyaknya angkatan kerja yang tersedia. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai pertumbuhan ekonomi dimana penelitian tersebut tidak cukup menggunakan data cross section karena perlu dilakukan pengamatan terhadap periode waktu juga, sehingga pada penelitian ini digunakan metode regresi data panel. Penggunaan metode ini didasarkan pada kelebihan data panel yang dapat mengendalikan heterogenitas individu serta mampu memberikan data yang lebih informatif dan bervariasi. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan didapatkan model regresi data panel terbaik menggunakan FEM dengan variasi individu yang memiliki koefisien determinasi R 2 sebesar 99,77%. Variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Jawa Timur adalah angka harapan hidup perempuan dan jumlah tenaga kerja perempuan.
Title A discrete data assimilation scheme for the solutions of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and their statistics Permalink

We adapt a previously introduced continuous in time data assimilation (downscaling) algorithm for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations to the more realistic case when the measurements are obtained discretely in time and may be contaminated by systematic errors. Our algorithm is designed to work with a general class of observables, such as low Fourier modes and local spatial averages over finite volume elements. Under suitable conditions on the relaxation (nudging) parameter, the spatial mesh resolution and the time step between successive measurements, we obtain an asymptotic in time estimate of the difference between the approximating solution and the unknown reference solution corresponding to the measurements, in an appropriate norm, which shows exponential convergence up to a term which depends on the size of the errors. A stationary statistical analysis of our discrete data assimilation algorithm is also provided.
CENTRE FOR ABORIGINAL ECONOMIC POLICY RESEARCH

I would like to make submission to your Inquiry based on long-term academic and policy research and curatorial experience in the Indigenous visual art sector. I begin by noting that this Inquiry is addressing issues facing the extraordinarily diverse and complex Indigenous visual arts sector that is nevertheless one of the outstanding successes of arts policy making and patronage in Australia since the early 1970s.
Concurrence of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis: Analysis of Seven Cases and Literature Review

Introduction The association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in a single patient is a rarely described phenomenon. AS and RA are conditions that can have a high impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients. Methods We described the clinical, epidemiological, analytical, and radiological characteristics of 81 patients with concomitant diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Of these patients, seven were diagnosed at our hospital. A literature review was carried out using Medline, Embase, Scopus, and virtual hospital libraries, including the period from January 1950 to April 2020. Results Regarding the results, 71% of the patients were men, with a mean age of 53 years (±14.83). RA was the first disease diagnosed in 52% of the cases. Approximately 53% of the patients had rheumatoid nodules, and 83% reported inflammatory lumbar pain during their evaluation. Erosions were observed on radiographs of the hands and/or feet in 85% of the cases, and almost all the patients (80/81) had sacroiliitis on imaging studies. Approximately 92% of the cases were rheumatoid factor (RF) positive and 90% HLA B-27 positive. Conclusions The coexistence of RA and AS is highly uncommon. With the data obtained in this review, it seems that there exist erosive radiological patterns, positivity for RF, involvement of the axial skeleton, and rheumatoid nodules at a higher frequency than those patients with a single diagnosis of the two entities. More data are needed to corroborate this association.
Human Capital Investments and Family Size in Italy: IV Estimates Using Twin Births as an Instrument

Human capital investments at an early age appear crucial for individuals’ outcomes but their determinants are not yet completely clear. One possible determinant is family size that might affect parental time and economic resources invested in children. This aspect is related to the children quantity/quality trade-off proposed by Becker that has been investigated only for a few countries because of data limitations. We investigate this issue for Italy – even in the absence of Census data relating family of origin with children educational outcomes – using many waves of the Survey on Household Income and Wealth of Bank of Italy and focusing on the educational achievement of 19-22 years old. We use twin births as an instrumental variable to identify exogenous variations in family size. In partial contrast with findings from other developed countries, we find a significant negative effect of family size on children’s educational achievement. We show that these findings are robust to a number of checks and the effects are stronger for daughters, for low income families and when spacing between births is limited.
Innovative Diagnostic and Therapeutic Interventions in Cervical Dysplasia: A Systematic Review of Controlled Trials

Simple Summary Cervical dysplasia is one of the most common disorders of the female genital tract affecting millions of women worldwide. This systematic review of the literature of the last decade shows that significant progress has been made in its diagnosis and treatment. Based on >30 controlled clinical trials, specific and evidence-based recommendations can be formulated, such as for intravenous or intracervical lidocaine for pain reduction during colposcopically-directed cervical biopsies, but not topical lidocaine, music, or video colposcopy. Monsel’s solution might be used to control bleeding after cervical biopsies. The acetic acid test should be scored after 1 min and should be followed by Lugol’s iodine test for an optimal detection of dysplastic lesions. Loop electrical excision using standard instrumentation and techniques should be performed under local anesthesia and with direct colposcopic vision. Cryotherapy and thermoablation might be used in women with low-grade dysplasia, especially in women with HIV infection. Topical imiquimod remains an experimental procedure. Abstract Cervical dysplasia is a common precancerous lesion affecting 1% to 2% of women worldwide. Significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical dysplasia have been made in the last decade. We performed a systematic literature search of the databases PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify controlled clinical trials reporting on the efficacy and safety of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for cervical dysplasia. Data were analyzed according to PRISMA guidelines. In total, 33 studies reporting on 5935 women were identified. We recommend intravenous or intracervical lidocaine for pain reduction during colposcopically-directed cervical biopsies but not topical lidocaine, music, or video colposcopy. Monsel’s solution might be used to control bleeding after cervical biopsies. The acetic acid test should be scored 1 min after the application of acetic acid and should be followed by Lugol’s iodine test for an optimal yield of LSIL/HSIL. LEEP/LLETZ remains the standard and techniques such as SWETZ, C-LETZ, and TCBEE are not superior. LEEP/LLETZ should be performed under local anesthesia and with direct colposcopic vision. Cryotherapy and thermoablation might be used in women with LSIL, especially in women with HIV infection, but LEEP/LLETZ remains the standard for HSIL. Topical imiquimod remains an experimental procedure. In conclusion, significant progress has been made in the last decade regarding both diagnostic interventions as well as therapeutic interventions for women with cervical dysplasia. Based on >30 controlled clinical trials, we were able to formulate specific and evidence-based recommendations.

To evaluate whether these assemblies can deliver their promise of re-engaging the dissatisfied of representative politics, we explore who supports them and why. We build on a unique survey conducted with representative samples of 15
Nutrient Deprivation Coupled with High Light Exposure for Bioactive Chrysolaminarin Production in the Marine Microalga Isochrysis zhangjiangensis

Chrysolaminarin, a kind of water-soluble bioactive β-glucan produced by certain microalgae, is a potential candidate for food/pharmaceutical applications. This study identified a marine microalga Isochrysis zhangjiangensis, in which chrysolaminarin production was investigated via nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur) deprivations (-N, -P, or -S conditions) along with an increase in light intensity. A characterization of the antioxidant activities of the chrysolaminarin produced under each condition was also conducted. The results showed that nutrient deprivation caused a significant increase in chrysolaminarin accumulation, though this was accompanied by diminished biomass production and photosynthetic activity. -S was the best strategy to induce chrysolaminarin accumulation. An increase in light intensity from 80 (LL) to 150 (HL) µE·m−2·s−1 further enhanced chrysolaminarin production. Compared with -N, -S caused more suitable stress and reduced carbon allocation toward neutral lipid production, which enabled a higher chrysolaminarin accumulation capacity. The highest chrysolaminarin content and concentration reached 41.7% of dry weight (%DW) and 632.2 mg/L, respectively, under HL-S, with a corresponding productivity of 155.1 mg/L/day achieved, which exceeds most of the photoautotrophic microalgae previously reported. The chrysolaminarin produced under HL-N (Iz-N) had a relatively competitive hydroxyl radical scavenging activity at low concentrations, while the chrysolaminarin produced under HL-S (Iz-S) exhibited an overall better activity, comparable to the commercial yeast β-glucan, demonstrating I. zhangjiangensis as a promising bioactive chrysolaminarin producer from CO2.
A 5-10 GHz octave-band AlGaAs/GaAs HBT down-converter MMIC

This work describes an X-band HBT down-converter MMIC which integrates a double double-balanced Schottky mixer and 5 stages of HBT amplification to achieve >30 dB conversion gain and an IP3 as high as 15 dBm with an RF bandwidth from 5-10 GHz. A novel HBT amplifier gain cell employing active feedback which provides wide bandwidth and high performance in a compact area is used for the RF, LO, and IF amplifier stages. The MMIC is realized in a 3.6/spl times/3.4 mm/sup 2/ area, consumes 530 mW, and is self-biased through a 6 V supply. This MMIC represents the highest complexity X-band down-converter MMIC demonstration based on GaAs HBT and Schottky technology.
Combination of molecular dynamics simulation and COSMO to understand asphaltenes aggregation

ABSTRACT Asphaltenes interaction produces problems in oil transport and recovery, and understanding the association process is vital to improving economic and industrial production. Here, we propose the COSMO model in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to complement the results obtained by Newtonian mechanics with quantum results to get reliable association data. Four asphaltene molecules were studied with toluene and heptane solvents. COSMO showed molecular interaction tendencies, which were later verified with MD. The average aggregation number was calculated through MD and turned out to be entirely dependent on the aromaticity due to π-π stacking. The aromatic rings are responsible for aggregation, while the sulfur heteroatom plays a less fundamental role. Viscosity is also related to the aggregation process; a higher tendency in aggregation increases the dynamic viscosity. Diffusion coefficients were correlated with the aromaticity, dipole moment, and molecular weight. Finally, a mathematical comparison between COSMO and MD results is accomplished.
Characterization of the Fatty Acid and Elemental Composition of Human Milk with Chemometric Processing to Determine the Nutritional Value

Abstract Breast milk represents the best food for growth and healthy development of new-borns and infants. Exclusive breast feeding is recommended for the first 6 months of life. The composition of human milk changes throughout the lactation period. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the variations in fatty acid composition and elemental concentrations of breast milk during the first 6 months of lactation. Fatty acid methyl esters were prepared by standard methods, separated, and quantified by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method was used to determine 16 elements in breast milk after acid microwave digestion. The mean concentrations of essential elements and potentially toxic elements were as follows: 410.3 mg/L (Na), 53.5 mg/L (Mg), 118.4 mg/L (P), 516 mg/L (K), 326.4 mg/L (Ca), 0.5 mg/L (Fe), 0.4 mg/L (Cu), 1.5 mg/L (Zn), 0.2 mg/L (Cr), 0.02 mg/L (Ni), 3.5 µg/L (Li), 5.0 µg/L (Mn), 0.6 µg/L (Co), 7.7 µg/L (As), and 1.5 µg/L (Pb). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and Pearson’s correlation analysis was applied to evaluate correlations among the lactation stages as a function of fatty acid and elemental contents and to identify the best discriminant markers.
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Gestational Diabetes: Analysis of Maternal Serum and Cord Blood Pairs and Comparison of Dietary- and Insulin-Dependent GDM

The Objective of our study was to investigate the influence of dietary (dGDM) and insulin-dependent (iGDM) gestational diabetes (GDM) on BDNF blood levels of corresponding maternal-neonatal pairs and compare them to pregnancies unaffected by GDM. Blood samples from 293 maternal-neonatal pairs were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis for association of log-transformed maternal and neonatal BDNF levels in relation to GDM, gestational age, neonatal sex, and mode of delivery. This was followed by a 2:1 matching of healthy and diabetic pairs. Maternal and neonatal BDNF levels were lowest in the iGDM group, followed by the dGDM group and healthy controls (maternal: healthy 665 ± 562 (26–2343) pg/mL vs. dGDM 593 ± 446 (25–1522) pg/mL vs. iGDM 541 ± 446 (68–2184) pg/mL; neonate: healthy 541 ± 464 (9.5–2802) pg/mL vs. dGDM 375 ± 342 (1–1491) pg/mL vs. iGDM 330 ± 326 (47–1384) pg/mL). After multiple regression analysis and additional 2:1 matching neonatal log-BDNF was significantly lower (−152.05 pg/mL, p = 0.027) in neonates of mothers with GDM compared to healthy pairs; maternal log-BDNF was also lower (−79.6 pg/mL), but did not reach significance. Our study is the first to analyze BDNF in matched maternal-neonatal pairs of GDM patients compared to a metabolically unaffected control group.
Asymmetric Development of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles Observed at Geomagnetically Conjugate Points Over the Brazilian Sector

Ground‐based global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers have been used to monitor the meridional (north‐south) development of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) at geomagnetically conjugate points over the Brazilian sector. EPBs were studied using detrended total electron content plots obtained from Boa Vista (MLat: 9.6°N), Itacoatiara (MLat: 3.3°N), Colíder (MLat: 5.0°S), and Cuiabá (MLat: 8.8°S) GNSS receivers. All GNSS receivers are located approximately under the same magnetic meridian. 655 nights with EPBs occurrence were analyzed using data from January 2012 to February 2016. In 459 nights (∼70%) the EPBs presented a symmetric development with respect to the geomagnetic equator. However, in 196 nights (∼30%) the EPBs presented an apparent asymmetry. The asymmetries are characterized as a displacement of the EPBs to north (or south) of the geomagnetic equator. The highest north (south) asymmetry occurrence was observed during December to January (March to April and September to October), and lowest during March to April and August to September (December to January). To investigate these asymmetries, we analyzed meridional wind data and used a numerical model to simulate the EPBs evolution. Both meridional wind data and numerical simulation results suggested that a trans‐equatorial meridional wind blowing to north (south) would be able to cause a displacement of the EPBs to north (south) of the geomagnetic equator.
Managers' Risk Preferences and Firm Training Investments

We provide the first estimates of the impact of managers’ risk preferences on their training allocation decisions. Our conceptual framework links managers’ risk preferences to firms’ training decisions through the bonuses they expect to receive. Risk-averse managers are expected to select workers with low turnover risk and invest in specific rather than general training. Empirical evidence supporting these predictions is provided using a novel vignette study embedded in a nationally representative survey of firm managers. Risk-tolerant and risk-averse decision makers have significantly different training preferences. Risk aversion results in increased sensitivity to turnover risk. Managers who are risk-averse offer significantly less general training and, in some cases, are more reluctant to train workers with a history of job mobility. All managers, irrespective of their risk preferences, are sensitive to the investment risk associated with training, avoiding training that is more costly or targets those with less occupational expertise or nearing retirement. This suggests the risks of training are primarily due to the risk that trained workers will leave the firm (turnover risk) rather than the risk that the benefits of training do not outweigh the costs (investment risk).
Evaluation of Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein D Expression as a Diagnostic Marker for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D (hnRNPD) serves as a prognostic marker for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We evaluated the diagnostic potential of hnRNPD to differentiate between OSCC and normal mucosa. Immunohistochemistry for hnRNPD and a routinely used diagnostic marker deltaNp63 (p40) was performed in 32 normal mucosae and 46 OSCC specimens. Subsequently, receiver-operating characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of hnRNPD in comparison to that of p40. Immunostaining for p40 and hnRNPD was observed in 39 (84.78%) and 38 (82.60%) cases, respectively, in OSCC specimens. The poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma displayed 100% (eight cases) immunoreactivity for hnRNPD as compared to 87.5% (seven cases) for p40. Nuclear staining of p40 and hnRNPD was observed in all OSCC specimens. p40 staining was restricted to basal cells, whereas both basal and para-basal cells displayed hnRNPD staining in OSCC specimens. Areas under the curve for p40 and hnRNPD were 0.86 and 0.87, respectively. p40 and hnRNPD showed equal sensitivities (80.95%). However, hnRNPD displayed marginally higher (88.23%) specificity for tumor cells as compared to that of p40 (85.29%). Conclusion: In addition to being a well-established prognostic marker, hnRNPD can serve as a diagnostic marker for OSCC.
Limbu Poets’ Experiences of Using Facebook for Promoting Endangered Indigenous Language

The authors report an examination of Limbu poets’ experiences of using Facebook to share Limbu poems expecting to promote their Indigenous language, literature, and culture, and preserve Indigenous identities. We employed online semi-structured interviews with participants and observation of their Facebook walls to gather qualitative data. We discuss how the Limbu poets attempted to promote their Limbu language through Facebook. Limbu poets used their Indigenous poems to inform and promote the value of their language and to preserve Indigenous cultural values. The poetic creation in the Limbu language received significant responses from readers, however, far less than the poems in Nepali and English. This result may have occurred because many members of the Limbu community might not have understood Limbu poems. It demonstrates the decline of Limbu, one of the Indigenous languages in Nepal, and the challenge of preserving and promoting the language. Limbu poets’ more organized and innovative ways of using Facebook for promoting their Indigenous language may help them achieve their aim to restore their language.
Investigation of the Azorean Camellia sinensis Processing Conditions to Maximize the Theaflavin 3,3′-di-O-Gallate Content as a Potential Antiviral Compound

The molecular constituents of Camellia sinensis, in particular epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) and, more remarkably, the galloylated theaflavins, mainly theaflavin-3,3′-di-O-gallate (TF-3,3′-DG), have been reported to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro), an enzyme required for the cleavage of its polyproteins, to produce vital individual functional proteins for viral cell replication. Our results for total catechin content revealed the values of 174.72, 200.90, and 211.75 mg/g dry weight (DW) in spring, and the values of 183.59, 191.36, and 215.09 mg/g DW in summer, for tea plantation zones 1, 2, and 3, respectively. For the TF-3,3′-DG content, the values of 2.68, 1.13, and 3.72 mg/g DW were observed in spring, and the values of 3.78, 2.06, and 8.91 mg/g DW in summer for zones 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In the same zone, different contents of TF-3,3′-DG were observed across plucking months of April, June, and August, with values of 1.13, 2.77, and 4.18 mg/g DW, respectively, showing higher values in summer. Different values of TF-3,3′-DG contents were also observed in the same tea plantation zone but from different plant parts, revealing higher values in the bud and the first and second leaves (3.62 mg/g DW) and lower values in the third and fourth leaves (1.14 mg/g DW). The TF-3,3′-DG content increased from 3.31 to 4.98 mg/g DW with increased fermentation time from 1 to 3 h, respectively, and increased for lower temperature and longer fermentation time. The aim of this study was to investigate the processing conditions that lead to maximum TF-3,3′-DG content and, given its potential impact as an inhibitor of the 3CLpro enzyme, to create a novel antiviral Azorean black tea.
