Lack of Diversity in Personal Health Record Evaluations with Older Adult Participants: A Systematic Review of Literature
Authors: Kneale Laura , Demiris George
Published: February 2017

Background: Older adults are not adopting personal health records (PHRs) at the same rates as other adult populations. Disparities in adoption rates are also reported in older adult subgroups. The variability in adoption may be because PHRs are not designed to meet older adult users.Objective: We analyzed PHR evaluation studies to examine the characteristics and perspectives of older adult study participants to identify their self-reported needs.Method: We searched Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase for PHR evaluation studies that involved older adult participants.Results: 1017 abstracts were identified, and 179 publications went through full text review. 10 publications met inclusion criteria. These publications described studies conducted in 3 countries, and evaluated 7 PHRs. Homogeneity was found in the study populations and participant opinions of the systems.Discussion: Many PHR evaluations do not include diverse older adult participants. This may lead to consistency in outcomes, but it also may create gaps in identifying user needs. Additional studies, specifically targeting diverse older adult participants, are needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the opinions of older adults on PHRs and how these systems could benefit older adult healthcare consumers.Conclusion: The body of research shows that older adults are highly satisfied using PHRs. These outcomes may be generalizable because most PHR evaluation studies do not include diverse older adult participants. This lack of participant diversity may be contributing to the disparities observed in PHR adoption rates.
Genetic Resources of Shade Tolerant Forage Crops
Authors: Purwantari Nurhayati D.
Published: February 2017

Forage crops are planted mostly in marginal land or integrated with other crops. Estate crops land is one of the alternative areas for forage crops plantation. Shortage of forage crops development under crop plantation is caused by limited light intensity, due to crop shading. Selecting forage crops adapted to estate crops plantation is crusial to achieve its high production and quality. Several grasses and legumes have been identified as forage crops that tolerant to shading of less than 40%, 40-60% and more than 60% light intensity. Some of them have been applied in the area of oil palm plantation to support the acceleration of livestock population.

Authors: Setiadi Bambang
Published: February 2017

Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 1994 on Ratification of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia Number: 117/Permentan/SR.120/10/2014 regarding the concession and release of animal breed or strain in Indonesia should be followed up. This paper aims to improve the understanding of concession and release of animal breed or strain. Requirements of breed or strain concession has to declare (a) Its origin; (b) Original geographic distribution where the breed or strain formed; (c) Characteristics; (d) Genetic information; (e) The animal number and structure of their population; and (f) Animal picture. Requirements for the release of breed or strain should have (1) The method to obtain animal breed or strain; (2) Characteristics; (3) Genetic information; (4) New invention, unique, uniform and stable (NUUS); (5) The current number of animal; (6) Animal picture; (7) A guarantee certificate of quality standard; and (8) At the time of receipt of the request release, breed or strain has never been traded/distributed in Indonesia or already traded less than five years. Therefore, the government operational policy is necessary to regulate the preservation and improvement of animal genetic resources either breed or strain beneficial for future generations.

Published: February 2017

(NH4)2RuCl6is an important precursor in the synthesis of Ru powder with high-purity requirement. In this study, high-purity (>99.999 wt%) micro-sized (NH4)2RuCl6pieces were synthesized by distillation and precipitation from crude Ru powder. Then, the thermal decomposition behavior of the (NH4)2RuCl6pieces was investigated. The decomposition process included two stages. First, (NH4)2RuCl6was decomposed from 255.0°C to 314.0°C, with the endothermic peak located at 309.4°C. At this stage, HCl and NH3were released, while the dense micro-pieces were transformed to loosened micro-pieces due to the thermal decomposition. Then, the solid phase [(NH3)4Ru3Cl12] kept decomposing from 314.0°C to 352.7°C, HCl and N2were released, and agglomerated Ru particles were achieved. Thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis-mass spectrum coupling (TG-DTA-MS) was used to monitor the thermal decomposition process and identify the released gaseous phases, respectively. The solid phases in different stages were characterized by high-temperature X-ray diffraction (HTXRD). A good understanding of the processing and thermal decomposition of (NH4)2RuCl6is crucial in the creation of Ru products.
The Influence of “Super-Diversity” on Pre-service Teachers’ Sensitivity to Cultural Issues
Authors: Wyatt Tasha R.
Published: February 2017

While many teachers in American pre-service programs struggle to develop experience and awareness of multicultural issues (Sleeter, 2001, Preparing teachers for culturally diverse schools: Research and the overwhelming presence of Whiteness. Journal of teacher education, 52(2), 94–106. doi:10.1177/0022487101052002002), there is a modicum of evidence to suggest that today’s college students are ahead of their predecessors in preparing for multicultural teaching. This study analyzes how seven pre-service teachers made sense of their students’ cultural struggles as they authored multicultural literature written for children in Hawai‘i. The results indicate teachers used their own experiences to make sense of students’ cultural struggles and when they could not find commonality, they engaged in ethnographic research. The results have implications for preparing millennial teachers and calls for rethinking the standard curriculum in preparing teachers for multicultural teaching.
Superstructure formation in PrNi2Al3 and ErPd2Al3
Authors: Eustermann Fabian , Hoffmann Rolf-Dieter , Janka Oliver
Published: February 2017

The intermetallic phase ErPd2Al3 was obtained by arc-melting of the elements and subsequent annealing for crystal growth. The sample was studied by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals. The structure of ErPd2Al3 was refined from X-ray diffraction data and revealed a superstructure of PrNi2Al3 – a CaCu5 derivative (P6/m, a=1414.3(1), c=418.87(3) pm wR=0.0820, 1060 F
2 values, 48 variables. The same superstructure was subsequently found for PrNi2Al3 (P6/m, a=1407.87(4), c=406.19(2) pm, wR=0.0499, 904 F
2 values, 47 variables). In the crystal structure, the aluminium and transition metal atoms form a polyanionic network according to [T
2Al3]
δ−

, while rare earth atoms fill cavities within the networks. They are coordinated by six transition metal and twelve aluminum atoms. In contrast to the PrNi2Al3 type structure reported so far, two crystallographic independent rare-earth sites are found of which one (1b) is shifted by 1/2 z, causing a distortion in the structure along with a recoloring of the T and Al atoms in the network.
Imbalance of intestinal immune function in piglets infected by porcine circovirus type 2 during the fetal period
Authors: Mao Yu , Li Jin Jun , Liu Yuan , Dong Wei , Pang Pei , Deng Zhi Bang
Published: February 2017

Porcine circovirus type 2- (PCV2-) associated reproductive disorders and enteritis have commonly been observed on PCV2-contaminated pig farms in recent years. In order to investigate disorders of intestinal immunity in piglets infected by PCV2 during the fetal period, 9 PCV2b-infected piglets and 6 non-infected piglets at one day of age were selected and euthanised prior to suckling. Samples of mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and duodena were collected to investigate factors related to intestinal immunity and to detect lymphocytic apoptosis. The results indicated that there were no significant changes in the levels of IL-2, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the PCV2b-infected piglets but IFN-γ levels were significantly lower (P < 0.01) and IL-4 levels were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in infected piglets than in the controls. Furthermore, lymphocytic apoptosis increased in PCV2b-infected piglets and CD4+ to CD8+ ratios were lower in these piglets than in the controls. These findings suggest vertical transmission of PCV2b to fetuses, leading to an imbalance of intestinal immune function in piglets.

Situated Learning for Foreign Language Teachers in One-to-One Computing Initiatives
Authors: Wesely Pamela M. , Plummer Elizabeth
Published: February 2017

This study focuses on how Spanish teachers in four different rural US high schools use computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in their classrooms, and the nature of the relationship between their use of CALL and their experience of learning about CALL. A situated learning framework was used to evaluate the teachers’ learning opportunities in light of their CALL implementation. Teacher interviews, classroom observations, and class documents and websites suggested that the teachers rarely altered their pedagogy or their curriculum to integrate technology. Crucial elements of a situated learning environment were missing, and they corresponded to areas where teachers’ usage was not consistent with CALL principles. The study concludes with implications for practitioners, researchers, and theorists.

Published: February 2017

O taekwondo (TKD) é um esporte de combate que focaliza em chutes na cabeça, giratórios, e saltos. A enfase em combinações técnico-táticas com velocidade e agilidade é uma característica essencial dessa modalidade. Portanto, esse artigo objetiva contribuir com uma análise crítica sobre ações técnico-táticas de taekwondistas, utilizando momentos relativos de esforço e pausa em competições oficiais. Essa revisão investigou arranjos táticos (i.e., ataques, defesas e bloqueios), performance técnica (pontos), chutes e socos, referentes a categoria de peso, classe de idade e gênero. De fato, as modificações das regras nos anos atuais aumentou as ações defensivas entre adultos, com cerca de 50% das ações em ataques, seguido de 30% de defesas e 20% de ações de bloqueio. Enquanto juvenis tendem a adotar uma estratégia ofensiva, com cerca de 90% das ações em ataques. Desde a introdução do sistema eletrônico, atletas de alto rendimento necessitam executar técnicas precisas e corretas para conquistar pontuação, por isso, atletas de elite tem utilizado técnicas de curta distância com chutes realizados pela perna de trás. Essa ação mostra eficácia em pontuar e auxilia competidores no aumento da capacidade defensiva e em contra-ataques. Por sua vez, programas de treinamento precisam ser específicos diante das regras, necessidades de categorias de peso, gênero e idade em atletas de elite no TKD.

Одной из актуальных проблем в гнойно-септической хирургии детского возраста является хронический рецидивирующийгематогенный остеомиелит, развивающийся после перенесенного хронического гематогенного остеомиелита. Несмотряна успехи, достигнутые современной медициной, хирургией в частности, по прежнему остаётся высока частота неудов-летворительных результатов лечения (42-50%) и рецидивов заболевания (58-78%). В связи с этим пациенты нередко под-вергаются неоднократным оперативным вмешательствам (73,9-80%), оставаясь неизлеченными десятки лет. Наиболеенеблагоприятным исходом хронического остеомиелита часто бывают ортопедические осложнения, которые встреча-ются по данным литературы в 31-71% случаев. Инвалидность после данных осложнений составляет от 16,2-53,7%.Патоморфологические изменения при остеомиелите, в частности при острой и хронической формах в настоящее времяизучены достаточно хорошо.

Published: February 2017

Актуальность:В настоящее время остро стоит вопрос о более ранней диагностике и прогнозировании осложнений, связанных с диабетической макро- и микроангиопатией.  Раннее выявление нарушений антиоксидантной системы, которые появляются уже на стадии доклинических проявлений, позволят предотвратить или улучшить течение осложнений связанных с сахарным диабетом.Цель:Оценить состояние антиоксидантной системы у пациентов с различными сосудистыми осложнениями СД 2типа, такими как диабетическая ретинопатия (ДР) и ангиопатия сосудов нижних конечностей.Материалы и методы:В исследовании принимали участие три группы пациентов, всего 75 человек в возрасте 55±6,0лет. Первая группа пациентов (n=25) включала больных СД 2 типа (инсулиннезависимый) с наличием диабетической ретинопатии. Во второй группе пациентов (n=25), течение СД 2типа (инсулиннезависимый), протекало с развитием ангиопатии сосудов нижних конечностей. Третью группу составили 25 здоровых людей.Определение исследуемых показателей производили ВЭЖХ методами, разработанными в нашей лаборатории.Результаты исследований и обсуждение:Полученные данные свидетельствуют о том, что антиоксидантный потенциал плазмы (Cysfree/Cys-S-S-Cys) крови при сосудистых осложнениях СД 2типа уменьшается  и окислительно-восстановительное состояние GSH/GSSG изменяется в зависимости от различных видов сосудистых  осложнений СД 2типа.Выводы:При развитии сосудистых осложнениях СД 2типа страдает как антиоксидантный потенциал плазмы, так и непосредственно клетки, что  выражается в значимом уменьшении восстановленных форм определяемых показателей.При прогрессировании заболевания и наличии диабетической ангиопатии коэффициенты Cysfree/Cys-S-S-Cys и GSH/GSSG достоверно отличаются от таковых в группе контроля. Опираясь на это, можно с уверенностью говорить о том, что у пациентов с СД 2типа необходима полная оценка антиоксидантной системы, с изучением  различных фракций не только глутатиона, но и цистеина для своевременной фармакологической коррекции и профилактике преждевременного развития осложнений.Ключевые слова: цистеин, глутатион, антиоксидантная система, сахарный диабет.

West Sumatera Province has poultry genetic resource of local duck that potential in supply
eggs and duck meat. Bayang duck was set by Indonesian Agricultural Ministry in 2012 as national livestock breeds in Indonesia. Microsatellite markers are widely used as a genetic identifier because of their abundant existence, co-dominant and high polymorphic. The purpose of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of Bayang ducks based on two microsatellite loci which include AY287 and AY283. DNA substances used in the study were blood samples from 24 Bayang duck in Pesisir Selatan Regency. The isolated DNA genom from 24 blood samples of Bayang duck could be detected by gel electrophoresis. Results showed that AY287 locus has 6 alleles; allele A (108 bp), allele B (142 bp), allele C (183 bp), allele D (227 bp), allele E (272 bp) and allele F (340 bp). Both allele E and F were specific genetic markers of Bayang duck. Alleles frequencies of the AY287 locus were as follow: allele C (26,93%), allele D (19,24%), allele A (15,38%), allele B (15,38%), allele E (15,38%) and allele F (7,69%). The AY283 locus has 6 alleles consisted of allele A (230 bp), allele B (320 bp), allele C (345 bp), allele D (390 bp), allele E (450 bp) and allele F (500 bp). Allele frequencies of this marker were allele B (20,51%), allele D (20,51%), allele E (20,51%), allele A (15,39%), allele C (15,39%), and allele F (7,69%), respectively. Our finding suggest that two microsatellite markers, AY287 and AY283, were polymorphic in Bayang duck population.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS WITHIN THE PERSPECTIVE OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY: CASE STUDY OF REGISTER OF VOTERS IN 2014 GENERAL ELECTION
Authors: Hoesein,SH.,MH Zainal Arifin
Published: February 2017

Voting right is citizen’s constitutional rights. There is nothing that can obscure it, not to mention negate it, as long as it is not against the moral, religious, public stability and security values. The action to negate the voting rights is an act of dismissal of democratic constitutional values. Indeed, the democratic values strongly upheld the citizens’ rights, including the voting rights. The correlation between the voting rights and the general election administration is a synergic correlation to create conducive election as mandated by the constitution. Administration role should not have been an obstacle for upholding the constitutional democratic values, rather, it becomes a filter in regulating each citizen in using their voting rights to ensure the legal certainty, either from technical aspects, which is the accurate ballot counting, or from substantive aspect that is to ensure the legal certainty in conducting the accountable general election. In deciding the voters, several things should be prioritized such as first, the administrative management of general election related to the population administration; and, second, the voting rights transformed into the List of Fixed Voters (DPT). Administrative data of population is a baseline data and the data source for establishing the List of Fixed Voters (DPT).

Para lograrlo, empezaré por comentar algunos aspectos sobre el proceso del sueño (del dormir, no de los sueños, pues se establece que el sueño obedece al acto de dormir mientras que los sueños son la actividad onírica que subyace a dicho proceso), luego señalaré algunos aspectos sobre la memoria para, finalmente, mostrar cómo se relacionan ambos procesos: dormir y recordar.
¿Es el psicoanálisis una ciencia?
Authors: Bernal Zuluaga Hernando Alberto
Published: February 2017

En su visita a los Estados Unidos, en 1975, al Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts, Lacan declaró que «el psicoanálisis no es una ciencia». Él llegó a esta conclusión después de haber ubicado al psicoanálisis en el campo de la ciencia durante décadas. Lacan siempre trató de darle al psicoanálisis el estatuto de ciencia, “primero por medio de la lingüística y la antropología, y más tarde a través de las matemáticas y la lógica” (Bassols, 2014). Freud también trato de situar al psicoanálisis del lado de las ciencias naturales, como una práctica derivada de la medicina. Fue en los años cincuenta que Lacan sitúa al psicoanálisis en el campo de la antropología estructural y la lingüística, haciendo una ruptura epistemológica con las ciencias naturales (Bassols).
Revelaciones de la neurociencia ponen en estado de alerta al gerente o directivo
Authors: Tarantino-Curseri Salvatore
Published: February 2017

El quehacer diario de todo Gerente o Directivo se fundamenta en las funciones cognitivas de orden superior que éstos desempeñan. Hoy gracias a la Neurociencia sabemos que dichas funciones cognitivas, son el producto final de una serie de actividades neuronales, pero, ¿quién y cómo se activan? Éstas, junto con otras interrogantes, son las que trata de dilucidar la Neurociencia. En este artículo veremos cómo en esa búsqueda de respuestas, la Neurociencia se ha topado con un hallazgo interesante, el Inconsciente. Veremos cómo científicos de la talla de Libet, Haynes y otros, nos demuestran científicamente que en toda toma de decisión, el inconsciente selecciona una decisión y posteriormente el consciente se entera de ella. Por otro lado, el Dr. Froufe nos habla de la “mente oculta”, que al unirla con el Inconsciente de la Neurociencia se formula una alerta, no desestimable, en una de nuestras funciones cotidianas, la toma de decisiones.

De la función del síntoma-padre a la posición subjetiva del hijo
Authors: Vergara Medina Cruz Elena
Published: February 2017

El siguiente escrito surge de la revisión de algunos postulados tomados del texto de Colette Soler (2009) “El síntoma-Padre” en: ¿Qué se espera del psicoanálisis y del psicoanalista?, y de la experiencia en la práctica clínica con niños, experiencia que me condujo a preguntarme por los modos como el padre hoy cumple su función: ¿De qué función se trata? ¿Con qué síntoma responde el padre hoy?
El vino como “quitapenas” en la obra de Omar Khayyam
Authors: Ríos Madrid Myriam
Published: February 2017

La alabanza del vino hecha por Omar Khayyam en su obra poética, nos permite considerar tal elemento, como un poderoso “quitapenas” que ayuda a sobrellevar la dolorosa existencia humana. Este poeta persa del Medioevo, parece haberse adelantado a los planteamientos freudianos del malestar en la cultura sobre la infelicidad humana y la necesidad de paliar en algo el dolor de existir.
El encuentro con el otro como fuente de sentidos y significados
Authors: Henao Osorio Marta Cecilia
Published: February 2017

Adentrarnos en el campo del amor evoca diversas experiencias afectivas y específicamente las vivencias personales con respecto a éste, por lo tanto, tienen en este escrito un lugar especial las percepciones, significados, valores y creencias en cuanto a la relación de pareja. Encontrarse con el otro, aceptarse, celebrar juntos los misterios propios; pero respetando la libertad del otro, devela la complejidad de las relaciones, puesto que como lo dice Luypen (1967) en Fenomenología existencial: “Sólo se puede entender correctamente la apelación del amor al ser amado cuando se comprende que el acto de querer la subjetividad, la libertad del otro, no puede ser fructífero a menos que el otro lo ratifique con su consentimiento (p. 214). Significa entonces que el amor como apelación a la libertad, sólo es fructífero con el libre consentimiento del otro, esto lleva implícito también, el consentimiento propio.

Published: February 2017

This study was conducted to understand the patterns of plant species richness in the Three Gorges Reservoir after 5 years after 175 m submergence. We hypothesized that hygrophyte and xerophyte species would show different species richness patterns, which was tested by collecting species composition and environmental variable data in 50 m long and 5 m wide transects in the drawdown zone from 145 m to 180 m. Xerophyte species richness (XSR) was highest in the middle of the drawdown zone, whereas hygrophyte species showed a continuous downward trend from 145 m to 180 m. Correlation analyses showed that the flooding period was significantly negatively correlated with the total species richness (TSR), XSR, and hygrophyte species richness (HSR). The TSR and XSR showed a significant positive correlation with soil type and a significant negative correlation with available K. HSR was significantly correlated with soil type and negatively correlated with ammonium N.
Significance of Glucose Addition on Chitosan-Glycerophosphate Hydrogel Properties

Published: February 2017

Chitosan-glycerophosphate hydrogel can be used as dental scaffold due to its thermosensitivity, gelation performance at body temperature, suitable acidity for body condition, biocompatibility, and ability to provide good environment for cell proliferation and differentiation. Previous study showed that glucose addition to the chitosan solution before steam sterilization improved its hydrogel mechanical strength. However, the effectiveness of glucose addition was still doubted because glucose might undergo Maillard reaction in that particular condition. The aims of this study are to confirm whether the glucose addition can increase the hydrogel mechanical strength and gelation rate effectively and also to compare their performance to be dental scaffold. This research was performed through several steps, namely preparation of chitosan-glycerophosphate solution, addition of glucose, gelation time test, gel mechanical strength measurement, functional group analysis, and physical properties measurements (pH, viscosity, and pore size). The result showed that glucose addition did not improve the hydrogel mechanical strength and gelation rate, neither when it was added before nor after steam sterilization. Glucose addition before steam sterilization seemed to trigger Maillard reaction or browning effect, while glucose addition after steam sterilization increased the amount of free water molecules in the hydrogel. Chitosan and glycerophosphate interact physically, but interaction between chitosan and glucose seems to occur chemically and followed by the formation of free water molecules. Glucose addition decreases the solution viscosity and hydrogel pore size so the hydrogel performance as dental scaffold is lowered.
Synthesis and Characterization of Chitosan/Phosphotungstic Acid-Montmorillonite Modified by Silane for DMFC Membrane
Authors: Permana Dian , Purwanto Muhammad , Ramadhan La Ode Ahmad Nur , Atmaja Lukman
Published: February 2017

Montmorillonite was functionalized by (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxy silane (GPTMS). Subsequently, chitosan (CS) membranes filled by GPTMS-modified montmorillonite particles were prepared and characterized by FTIR. The result of FTIR obtained the peak wavenumber of 2940, 1471 and 1390 cm-1 referring to vibration stretching of CH2, bending of CH2 and CH3 form epoxy groups in silane, respectively which indicated modification of montmorillonite by silane. Compared with the pure CS and CS/PWA-MMT membrane, these CS/PWA-MMT/Silane hybrid membranes show apparently high proton conductivity and the lower methanol permeability, which could be assigned to the better interfacial morphology and compatibility between chitosan matrix and GPTMS-modified montmorillonite. In all the prepared CS/PWA-MMT/Silane hybrid membranes, the CS membrane filled by 10% GPTMS-modified montmorillonite particles exhibits the highest proton conductivity and the lowest methanol permeability, which is 19.15 x 10-3 S.cm-1 at 80 °C and 4.33 x 10-8 cm2.s-1, respectively. The results imply that CS/PWA-MMT silane 10% membrane has better interaction of interfacial morphology and compatibility between chitosan matrix and GPTMS-modified montmorillonite particles.

Published: February 2017

Silver-chitosan nanocomposites colloidal was successfully performed by chemical reduction method at room temperature using glucose as reducing agent, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as accelerator reagent, silver nitrate (AgNO3) as metal precursor and chitosan as stabilizing agent. Compared to other synthetic methods, this work is green and simple. The effect of the amount of NaOH, molar ratio of AgNO3 to glucose and AgNO3 concentration towards Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) absorption band of silver nanoparticles was investigated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The stability of the colloid was also studied for the first 16 weeks of storage at ambient temperature. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by the appearance of LSPR absorption peak at 402.4–414.5 nm. It is also shown that the absorption peak of LSPR were affected by NaOH amount, ratio molar AgNO3/glucose and concentration of AgNO3. The produced silver nanoparticles were spherical with dominant size range of 6 to 18 nm as shown by TEM images. All colloidals were stable without any aggregation for 16 weeks after preparation. The newly prepared silver-chitosan nanocomposites colloidal may have potential for antibacterial applications.

Survival analysis is commonly used to evaluate factors associated with time to an event of interest (e.g.,ESRD, cardiovascular disease, and mortality) among CKD populations. Time to the event of interest is typically observed only for some participants. Other participants have their event time censored because of the end of the study, death, withdrawal from the study, or some other competing event. Classic survival analysis methods, such as Cox proportional hazards regression, rely on the assumption that any censoring is independent of the event of interest. However, in most clinical settings, such as in CKD populations, this assumption is unlikely to be true. For example, participants whose follow-up time is censored because of health-related death likely would have had a shorter time to ESRD, had they not died. These types of competing events that cause dependent censoring are referred to as competing risks. Here, we first describe common circumstances in clinical renal research where competing risks operate and then review statistical approaches for dealing with competing risks. We compare two of the most popular analytical methods used in settings of competing risks: cause-specific hazards models and the Fine and Gray approach (subdistribution hazards models). We also discuss practical recommendations for analysis and interpretation of survival data that incorporate competing risks. To demonstrate each of the analytical tools, we use a study of fibroblast growth factor 23 and risks of mortality and ESRD in participants with CKD from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study.
PENGUJIAN KUALITATIF JENIS KOAGULAN DALAM BAHAN OLAH KARET
Authors: Purbaya Mili , Suwardin Didin
Published: February 2017

Peningkatan mutu bahan olah karet (bokar) dapat dilakukan sejak awal proses pengolahan lateks menjadi bokar. Jenis koagulan merupakan salah satu parameter utama di dalam penentuan mutu bokar, selain tingkat kebersihan. Berdasarkan SNI bokar No. 06-2047-2002, koagulan yang dianjurkan untuk menggumpalkan lateks adalah asam format dan bahan penggumpal yang direkomendasikan oleh lembaga yang kredibel. Tetapi sebagian  besar petani masih menggunakan koagulan non anjuran. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan suatu metode tertentu yang dapat mendeteksi bahan penggumpal bokar yang digunakan petani. Dengan metode ini, diharapkan petani akan menggunakan koagulan anjuran untuk meningkatkan mutu bokar. Dalam penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi kandungan koagulan adalah pengujian secara kualitatif. Identifikasi dilakukan dengan cara mereaksikan serum atau air rendaman koagulum dengan pereaksi-pereaksi tertentu, kemudian diamati perubahan pada campuran yang menandakan karakteristik dari ion-ion yang terkandung di dalam koagulan. Koagulan non anjuran seperti tawas, cukapara dan pupuk TSP dapat dideteksi dengan menggunakan pereaksi : 1) BaCl2, 2) campuran pereaksi NH4Cl dan  NH4OH, 3) campuran pereaksi etanol dan asam sulfat dan 4) campuran pereaksi HNO3 dan ammonium molibdate. Hasil pengujian sensistivitas menunjukkan bahwa bahan penggumpal non ajuran dapat dideteksi pada dosis minimal 50 ml/L lateks (1 g/L lateks) untuk cukapara (asam sulfat), 25 ml/L lateks (0,5 g/L lateks) untuk pupuk TSP dan 75 ml/L lateks (1,5 g/L lateks) untuk tawas dengan konsentrasi masing-masing 2 %. Pengujian kualitatif ini kemudian diaplikasikan untuk mengetahui kandungan ion pada koagulan “X”. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa koagulan “X” mengandung ion sulfat yang diduga berasal dari asam sulfat.
