Analisis disparitas pembangunan antar Kabupaten/Kotadi Provinsi Jambi(segi ekonomi dan non ekonomi)

The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) To describe the level of development inequality in districts/cities in Jambi Province. (2) This is to determine the factors that influence the level of development inequality from an economic and non-economic perspective among regencies/cities in Jambi Province. (3) To find out the policies that will be carried out by the government in overcoming the problem of inequality that occurs in Jambi Province. Based on the research results, (1) The average level of development inequality between districts/cities in Jambi Province is 0.18, lower than the rate of inequality in Indonesia. The province that is almost close to a high level of inequality is Kota Sungai Penuh, which is 0.49 points. While the smallest is Sarolangun Regency, which is 0.01. (2) Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that from an economic perspective that has a significant effect on development inequality is the variable of balance funds and investment, while the variable of economic growth has no significant effect on economic growth. From a non-economic perspective, only the human development index has a significant effect on development inequality, while labor and poverty do not have a significant effect on development inequality. Keywords: Development inequality, Economic growth, Balance funds
Screening for Depression in Younger Breast Cancer Survivors: Outcomes From Use of the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire

Abstract Background Major cancer organizations recommend depression screening in patients and survivors. The 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is often suggested, with limited information about its use. Methods Enrollment data collected from younger breast cancer survivors participating in a behavioral intervention trial were used to examine the relationship between PHQ-9 scores (range = 0-27), patient characteristics, and responses to standardized psychosocial assessment tools. Major depressive disorder criterion was met if responses to the first 2 PHQ-9 items (range = 0-6) were 3 or greater. The sample was categorized by total PHQ-9 scores: less than 5 (minimal depressive symptoms), 5-9 (mild to moderate depressive symptoms), and 10 or greater (moderate to severe depression). PHQ-9 category associations with medical, demographic, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics were examined using analysis of variance for continuous variables and χ2 tests for categorical variables. Results A total of 231 women met the study prescreening eligibility criterion of mild depressive symptoms and enrolled in the study. On average, they were 45.2 years old and 2.6 years since diagnosis. At enrollment, 22.1% met the screening criterion for possible major depressive disorder; among those with PHQ-9 scores of 10 or greater, 58.3% met this criterion. Anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, and intrusive thoughts about cancer were frequent and were associated with depressive symptom severity (all P < .001). In contrast, neither demographic nor cancer treatment characteristics were associated with depressive symptoms. Conclusions Depressive symptoms in this selected sample of younger breast cancer survivors were independent of demographic characteristics or cancer treatment history, suggesting that depression screening is necessary to detect uncontrolled depressive symptoms.
Optimization of Reinforced Concrete Sections under Compression and Biaxial Bending by Using a Parallel Firefly Algorithm

A simple formulation for the optimal design of reinforced concrete sections under compression and biaxial bending was established in a previous work by the authors. In that work, it was found that the formulation produced satisfactory results when used together with three algorithms that belong to the nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm group. However, despite the favorable results obtained, the necessary calculation times were extensive in all the cases. In order to solve this problem, the authors implemented a parallel calculation strategy in the algorithm that gave better results in the previous work. It was possible to verify, through two examples, that this strategy reduces calculation times as more processes are used in parallel, and that the adjustments made in the algorithm favor reaching designs close to the global optimum independently of the number of parallel processes adopted.

Effects of Ethanol Feeding in Early-Stage NAFLD Mice Induced by Western Diet

Background: The prevalence of metabolic liver diseases is increasing and approved pharmacological treatments are still missing. Many animal models of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) show a full spectrum of fibrosis, inflammation and steatosis, which does not reflect the human situation since only up to one third of the patients develop fibrosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods: Seven week old C57Bl/J mice were treated with ethanol, Western diet (WD) or both. The animals’ liver phenotypes were determined through histology, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, hepatic triglyceride content and gene expression levels. In a human cohort of 80 patients stratified by current alcohol misuse and body mass index, liver histology and gene expression analysis were performed. Results: WD diet and ethanol-treated animals showed severe steatosis, with high hepatic triglyceride content and upregulation of fatty acid synthesis. Mild fibrosis was revealed using Sirius-red stains and gene expression levels of collagen. Inflammation was detected using histology, immunohistochemistry and upregulation of proinflammatory genes. The human cohort of obese drinkers showed similar upregulation in genes related to steatosis, fibrosis and inflammation. Conclusions: We provide a novel murine model for early-stage fatty liver disease suitable for drug testing and investigation of pathophysiology.
Population genomics of invasive rodents on islands: Genetic consequences of colonization and prospects for localized synthetic gene drive

Introduced rodent populations pose significant threats worldwide, with particularly severe impacts on islands. Advancements in genome editing have motivated interest in synthetic gene drives that could potentially provide efficient and localized suppression of invasive rodent populations. Application of such technologies will require rigorous population genomic surveys to evaluate population connectivity, taxonomic identification, and to inform design of gene drive localization mechanisms. One proposed approach leverages the predicted shifts in genetic variation that accompany island colonization, wherein founder effects, genetic drift, and island‐specific selection are expected to result in locally fixed alleles (LFA) that are variable in neighboring nontarget populations. Engineering of guide RNAs that target LFA may thus yield gene drives that spread within invasive island populations, but would have limited impacts on nontarget populations in the event of an escape. Here we used pooled whole‐genome sequencing of invasive mouse (Mus musculus) populations on four islands along with paired putative source populations to test genetic predictions of island colonization and characterize locally fixed Cas9 genomic targets. Patterns of variation across the genome reflected marked reductions in allelic diversity in island populations and moderate to high degrees of differentiation from nearby source populations despite relatively recent colonization. Locally fixed Cas9 sites in female fertility genes were observed in all island populations, including a small number with multiplexing potential. In practice, rigorous sampling of presumptive LFA will be essential to fully assess risk of resistance alleles. These results should serve to guide development of improved, spatially limited gene drive design in future applications.
Data Assimilation of AOD and Estimation of Surface Particulate Matters over the Arctic

In this study, more accurate information on the levels of aerosol optical depth (AOD) was calculated from the assimilation of the modeled AOD based on the optimal interpolation method. Additionally, more realistic levels of surface particulate matters over the Arctic were estimated using the assimilated AOD based on the linear relationship between the particulate matters and AODs. In comparison to the MODIS observation, the assimilated AOD was much improved compared with the modeled AOD (e.g., increase in correlation coefficients from −0.15–0.26 to 0.17–0.76 over the Arctic). The newly inferred monthly averages of PM10 and PM2.5 for April–September 2008 were 2.18–3.70 μg m−3 and 0.85–1.68 μg m−3 over the Arctic, respectively. These corresponded to an increase of 140–180%, compared with the modeled PMs. In comparison to in-situ observation, the inferred PMs showed better performances than those from the simulations, particularly at Hyytiala station. Therefore, combining the model simulation and data assimilation provided more accurate concentrations of AOD, PM10, and PM2.5 than those only calculated from the model simulations.
Characterization of base station deployment distribution and coverage in heterogeneous networks

Considering different types of base stations (BSs) in future cellular networks are overlapping deployment with the status of dense, multi-tier and heterogeneous in general, how to optimize the real BS deployment becomes a complicated problem. Based on it, repulsive BS dataset and clustering BS dataset are statically characterized with various types of spatial point processes. It shows that the improvement of coverage probability between 1-tier and 2-tier network ﬂuctuates as the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) threshold increases for different datasets. The authors’ proposed hybrid model ﬁts well with repulsive BS dataset, while the log-Gaussian Cox point process (LGCP) and Cauchy model are reasonable models for clustering BS dataset. Besides, in order to dynamically analyze the coverage problem affected by adding new BSs, a cell boundary constructed by an irregular circle is introduced under an equal SIR constraint, and a BS placement scheme is proposed to place new BSs at the points of minimum interference. Numerical results show that the coverage probability may increase after adding BSs in the target area of heterogeneous network
Impact of 1p/19q Codeletion Status in The Outcome of Patients Affected By Oligodendroglioma and Diffuse Astrocytoma: A Retrospective Single Surgeon Series With 1.5 Io-MRI Guided Surgery

Purpose: The real impact of the Extent of Resection in respect to the 1p/19q codeletion status in determining the outcomes of Low Grade Glioma (LGG) patients is extensively debated. The aim of this paper is to retrospectively analyze the oncologic outcomes of a homogeneous cohort of LGG patients who underwent surgery by a single operator, first author of the present paper (GDA). Methods: A total of 66 patients suffering LGG who underwent craniotomy for tumor resection were operated on and retrospectively evaluated between 2008 and 2016 in a single center in which the operative theater was equipped with an Io-MRI system. We compared a subgroup of 37 patients suffering from Diffuse Astrocytoma to a second subgroup of 29 patients affected by Oligodendroglioma. Volumetric analyses of the Extent of Resection (EOR) were performed, PFS and OS were accurately recorded and used as endpoint variable, as well as the 1p/19q codeletion status of every patient included in the final cohort.Results: GTR produced a statistically significant survival advantage in respect to those associated with STR. This finding is confirmed even in patients suffering from Oligodendrogliomas (in the 1p/19q codeletion group 73.27 versus 101.73 months p=.0001). Similar findings were confimed for patients affected by Diffuse Astrocytomas(81.63 versus 60.44 months p < 0.012), despite the globally shorter survival.Conclusions: We can affirm that the EOR is an independent predictor of survival advantage. The 1p/19q codeletion is an independent prognostic factor significantly associated to a globally longer survival and a longer time to malignant transformation.
The demand for civil justice in Germany: an empirical investigation

ABSTRACT The demand for civil justice in Germany has shrunk over the last decades, although we can observe a high level of heterogeneity, with increasing and decreasing trends depending on specific case matters. The present work investigates this phenomenon, analyzing the aggregate demand for civil justice between 2008 and 2017 at the regional level, and focusing on the courts. We study the propensity of individuals to pursue justice according to the current economic, judicial and socio-cultural environments. We identify a statistically significant negative relation between economic development and the aggregate demand for civil justice, i.e., we cannot reject the hypothesis that the so-called ‘forgiving’ behavior might be predominant among the explored dynamics. However, considering the judicial environment, it emerges that judicial performance might discourage people from submitting cases to courts, lending strength to a different hypothesis, i.e., an increase in the use of alternative methods of dispute resolution on the private market of legal services. Finally, looking at socio-cultural dynamics, the authors observe statistically significant differences between the demand for justice in the West and the East of Germany.
Synthesis, Characterisation and Antimicrobial Studies on 2 - [(2 -Hydroxyphenyl) Methylidene] Hydrazine-1-Carbothioamide and its Ni(II) and Cu(II) Complexes

2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]hydrazine-1-carbothioamide was obtained by the condensation of salicyldehyde and thiosemicarbazone. Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were prepared and characterized by elemental (CHNOSO) analysis, FTIR, UV – visible, magnetic susceptibility, and molar conductance measurements. The ligand sharp peak at 1616cm -1 in the FTIR spectra indicating the formation of azomethine (-C=N-) bond. A shift shows band to the band regions 1597cm -1 and 1510cm -1 confirmed the coordination of the azomethine nitrogen with Nickel(II) and Cu(II) ions respectively. The ligand formed a chelate with 1:2 metal : ligand stoichiometry. All the compounds have been screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity by disc diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi as well as Aspergillus flavus bacterial and fungal isolates respectively. The compounds are found to be active against the tested isolates.
The Green Accommodation Management Practices: The Role of Environmentally Responsible Tourist Markets in Understanding Tourists’ Pro-Environmental Behaviour

The green accommodation sectors are increasingly committed to implementing environmental management practices while enhancing guests’ pro-environmental behaviour. However, it is not easy to change tourists’ behaviour as there are many factors influencing tourists’ participation in green management actions. This paper argues that a combination of multiple factors such as visitor characteristics or previous environmental experience needs to be examined to determine how these factors are differently associated with the type of pro-environmental behaviour. In particular, this study also investigates how environmentally responsible tourist markets can engage differently in different types of pro-environmental behaviour. Visitors staying at the green accommodation in Kangaroo Island, South Australia, were studied using self-administered questionnaires. The findings of this study confirmed the significant role of environmentally responsible travel experience as a strong predictor of two types of pro-environmental behaviour (e.g., energy-saving and recycling vs. eco-product consumption behaviour) and its moderating effects on the relationship between visitor characteristics and pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs). Furthermore, this environmental-responsibility-based segmentation approach provides green-oriented accommodation sectors with some managerial implications for improving green accommodation practices that can be operated on different principles for two different targeted markets based on their environmental responsibility. This study recommends that more in-depth investigations of other barriers or facilitators of pro-environmental behaviour are necessary to fully address this issue and to ultimately influence tourists’ responsible support for environmental management practices implemented by the green accommodation sector.
A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Chief Executive Officer Tenure and Firm Financial Performance: The Moderating Effects of Chief Executive Officer Pay and Board Monitoring

Prior empirical research investigating the relationship between chief executive officer (CEO) tenure and firms’ financial performance has shown inconclusive results. Based on arguments of agency and behavioral agency theories, we suggest that this relationship is nuanced and may vary depending on CEO pay and board monitoring. In response to these arguments, we meta-analytically test 385 studies (n = 1,029,602). We find that CEO tenure is positively related to firms’ financial performance. This positive relationship is enhanced when CEOs receive higher cash compensation or hold more stock ownership. On the other hand, the above positive relationship becomes weaker when CEOs receive higher long-term incentives or when the firm has more independent board directors. These findings suggest that CEO pay and board monitoring, or agency mechanisms in general, can offer new research avenues to help explore boundary conditions of the CEO tenure and firms’ financial performance relationship.
Teleworking during the Covid-19 Crisis in Italy: Evidence and Tentative Interpretations

The paper investigates the determinants and discusses the consequences of the switch towards Italian high-tech firms’ teleworking due to the COVID-19 crisis. Teleworking is important to reduce traffic congestion and increase the sustainability of cities, and as such, it is important to understand what helps the successful transition of firms to telework. COVID-19 crisis represents a natural experiment that allows studying organizational ability to adapt to unexpected environmental changes rapidly. The study is based on a survey conducted in mid-April 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown among Italian manufacturing firms’ managers in high-tech sectors. The final sample is composed of 179 observations. Using path analysis, we model the organizational e-readiness as a mediator of the firm’s technological and organizational characteristics in the rate of adoption of teleworking. Teleworking is also modeled as dependent on human resources and from the exogenous shock represented by COVID-19 lockdown. While teleworking has been imposed by COVID-19, organizational readiness plays a key role in shaping the rate of teleworking adoption during emergencies.
Media Issue Crystallization: The Case of Microplastic in Denmark

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore news media constructions of the emergence of a wicked problem. The study takes as its point of departure, the environmental issue of microplastic, which has recently received increased interest from academia as well as popular media due to its controversial nature. Utilizing dialectical theory as a framework, Danish news media provide the basis for a qualitative inductive analysis that explores the issue crystallization process of microplastics. As a result, a general model of this process is developed, which can be used to understand the dynamic interrelated conditions of media constructions of a wicked environmental issue. More specifically, the model highlights the key dialectical themes that drive the issue demarcation process.
Urinary tract infections in children aged 6 months to 5 years presenting with severe acute malnutrition in a tertiary care hospital

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines malnutrition as “The cellular imbalance between the supply of nutrients and energy and the body’s demand for them to ensure growth, maintenance, and specific functions”. Malnutrition usually implies under-nutrition and refers to all deviations from adequate and optimal nutritional status in infants, children and in adults. In children, under-nutrition manifests as underweight and stunting (short stature), while severely undernourished children show the signs and symptoms that characterize conditions known as kwashiorkor, marasmus or marasmickwashiorkor.
The Evolution of Educational Expectations in Spain (2003-2018): An Analysis of Social Inequality Using PISA

This paper examines the educational expectations of the Spanish student body at the end of compulsory education. Using the 2003 and 2018 waves of PISA, I report a remarkable increase in the educational ambition of the Spanish student body. Two aspects are worth noting. Firstly, virtually all 15-years-old students expect to enroll in Upper Secondary Education by 2018. Secondly, Higher Vocational Education has become a very appealing alternative at tertiary level. Furthermore, significant inequalities have been documented in the configuration of educational expectations. However, inequality has been reduced in the expectations of enrolment in Upper Secondary and Tertiary Education due to the higher educational ambition among socioeconomically disadvantaged students. In turn, inequality has increased in the horizontal expectation of enrolment in the academic track in both levels because a larger share of socioeconomically disadvantaged students preferred the vocational track in 2018 (diversion thesis). Using counterfactual analysis, I have observed that this increase in horizontal inequality would have been larger had it not been for the change in the social structure between 2003 and 2018
PERSONALITY: HOW DOES IT IMPACT TEACHERS’ ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT?

Teacher organizational commitment is a determining factor for achieving quality education. It is believed that teacher personality is one of the main factors which either increase or decrease organizational commitment. This research aims to examine the effects of teacher personality on their organizational commitment. The quantitative approach was employed with the survey method. The samples were selected using the simple random technique by applying the Slovin formula. The participants of this study were 83 civil servant teachers at public senior high schools located in East Jakarta. The data of this study were collected through a survey and then analyzed using Path analysis. The results of the analysis show that tcount is higher than ttable (4.329 > 2.64). This result means that H0 is rejected while H1 is accepted. The hypothesis testing shows that personality has a positive direct effect on teacher organizational commitment. Furthermore, it is proven that there are three traits influencing teacher personality, namely emotional stability (33.98%), extroversion (33.56%), and openness to experience (32.46%). Meanwhile, the main factors influencing organizational commitment are employee engagement (33.74%), moral responsibility (33.55%), and loyalty (32.71%). Based on the result of this study, it is suggested that school principals take teacher personality into account in order to improve teacher organizational commitment at schools.
