ABSTRACTDefault relating to the regularity of treatment in the patients taking the drugs. If the leprosy patients taking medication irregularly, then the leprosy bacteria can become resistant or immune to Multy Drug Therapy, so the symptoms persist and even worsen. The purpose of this study was to determine the indicators and develop a predictive index formula default incidence of leprosy treatment. This type of research was a case control design. The sample size in this study was 62 respondents. The sampling technique in this study used simple random sampling technique. Data collection techniques done with interviews with the questionnaire. The results showed that a candidate indicator variables (p <0.25) is income (p value = 0.013), access to health care (p value = 0.022), the role of health workers (p value = 0.032), knowledge (p value = 0.001), and family support (p value = 0.023), perception of the disease (p value = 0.098), leprosy reactions (p value = 0.198). Variables as indicators of default treatment of leprosy patients are the role of health workers, family support, knowledge, and income. The predictive index of default treatment at multibacillary leprosy patients are (-1666+ 1451 * Revenues (low) + 1989 * Role of Health Personnel (less instrumental) + 1.338 * Knowledge (less) + 1543 * Support Family (unfavorable). This index has a 79% accuracy rate. This index is expected to be used as a measuring tool in helping health workers to screen patients with leprosy who are undergoing treatment, so early can know where the potential patients defaulting treatment.Keywords: indicators, predictive index, default of treatment, leprosy, multibacillary

Published: February 2017

ABSTRACTPrimary dysmenorrhea was menstrual pain without any real abnormalities in genitals and could be a sign of reproductive system disorders. Prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was quite high, but the lack of attention from the medical world, whereas primary dysmenorrhea can lead to decreased productivity and hinder daily activities. This  study  aimed  to  analyze  the  risk factors  of  primary  dysmenorrhea  in  Ploso  subdistrict  of Tambaksari Surabaya. The study was an observational analytic cross sectional design. Sampling was done by multistage cluster sampling. Respondents were 80 women of childbearing age 15-35 years old. Based on the results the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was at 71.3% . Most of the impact of primary dysmenorrhea that respondents perceived were declining productivity that is equal to 77.2%. Most of respondents not been examined primary dysmenorrhea to the doctor or midwife (84.2%) with the majority reason was respondents think that symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea perceived is reasonable (54.2%) . The highest proportion of respondents characteristics are aged 15-25 years (51.3%), had family history (52.5%), never given birth (60%), duration of menstruation 3-7 days (86%), age of menarche 12-13 years (53.8%), not did exercise (53.8%), had a normal nutritional status (38.8%), and severe stress (25%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between age and family history with primary dysmenorrhea, and there was no relationship between the experience of childbirth, length of menstruation, age of menarche, exercise habits, nutritional status, and state of stress with primary dysmenorrhea. The advice is to check primary dysmenorrhea to the doctor or midwife if find symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea to get treatment (psychotherapy or medication therapy), so that respondents could still work or do activities and productivity is not compromised. Keywords : primary dysmenorrhea , menstrual cramps, risk factors, women of childbearing age, reproduction

Psychologically-Inspired Audio-Visual Speech Recognition Using Coarse Speech Recognition and Missing Feature Theory
Authors: Nakadai Kazuhiro ,   Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Koiwa Tomoaki ,   Honda Research Institute Japan Co., Ltd.
Published: February 2017

[abstFig src='/00290001/10.jpg' width='300' text='System architecture of AVSR based on missing feature theory and P-V grouping' ] Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) is a promising approach to improving the noise robustness of speech recognition in the real world. For AVSR, the auditory and visual units are the phoneme and viseme, respectively. However, these are often misclassified in the real world because of noisy input. To solve this problem, we propose two psychologically-inspired approaches. One is audio-visual integration based on missing feature theory (MFT) to cope with missing or unreliable audio and visual features for recognition. The other is phoneme and viseme grouping based on coarse-to-fine recognition. Preliminary experiments show that these two approaches are effective for audio-visual speech recognition. Integration based on MFT with an appropriate weight improves the recognition performance by −5 dB. This is the case even in a noisy environment, in which most speech recognition systems do not work properly. Phoneme and viseme grouping further improved the AVSR performance, particularly at a low signal-to-noise ratio.*

[abstFig src='/00290001/22.jpg' width='300' text='Spatial-cue-based probabilistic model' ] This paper addresses bird song scene analysis based on semi-automatic annotation. Research in animal behavior, especially in birds, would be aided by automated or semi-automated systems that can localize sounds, measure their timing, and identify their sources. This is difficult to achieve in real environments, in which several birds at different locations may be singing at the same time. Analysis of recordings from the wild has usually required manual annotation. These annotations may be inaccurate or inconsistent, as they may vary within and between observers. Here we suggest a system that uses automated methods from robot audition, including sound source detection, localization, separation and identification. In robot audition, these technologies are assessed separately, but combining them has often led to poor performance in natural setting. We propose a new Spatial-Cue-Based Probabilistic Model (SCBPM) for their integration focusing on spatial information. A second problem has been that supervised machine learning methods usually require a pre-trained model, which may need a large training set of annotated labels. We have employed a semi-automatic annotation approach, in which a semi-supervised training method is deduced for a new model. This method requires much less pre-annotation. Preliminary experiments with recordings of bird songs from the wild revealed that our system outperformed the identification accuracy of a method based on conventional robot audition.*

The robot-triathlon contest involves three tasks: line tracing, a wandering forest, and cone stacking. Robots must complete these tasks as fast as possible with autonomous control. This means that function design usually takes priority over aesthetic appeal. We are the only college of design education team taking part. Our teams have done so by developing robots that take both function and aesthetic appeal into account. Based on 3D modeling technology, design education students use their design and modeling skills to design robots that are both aesthetic and functional. Riden was designed using SolidWorks 3D-CAD software and its parts modeled using a 3D printer.

Authors: Simatupang Pantjar
Published: February 2017

Perbedaan pendapat mengenai manfaat penggunaan traktor di satu pihak dan dampak penggunaannya terhadap kesempatan kerja bagi buruh tani di pihak lain, merupakan ajang diskusi yang cukup menarik akhir-akhir ini. Dalam studi ini ditelaah kebutuhan mengenai penggunaan traktor di daerah Karawang dengan asumsi bahwa para petani harus mampu menyelesaikan pengolahan tanah sesuai dengan jadwal yang telah ditetapkan oleh Panita Irigasi setempat. Pertama-tama dihitung berapa tenaga kerja yang tersedia di suatu wilayah, termasuk ternak. Kemudian dibuat model yang menggambarkan mobilitas tenaga kerja untuk pindah dari golongan yang satu ke golongan, yang lain. Berdasarkan data itu dihitung, dengan menggunakan Rancangan Linier (Linear Programming), kebutuhan tenaga traktor di Karawang untuk masing-masing golongan irigasi. Ternyata bahwa tanpa traktor para petani tidak akan mampu menyelesaikan pengolahan tanah sesuai dengan jadwal. Karena itu untuk memungkinkan dilaksanakannya jadwal pengolahan tanah yang sesuai dengan jadwal irigasi, diperlukan tenaga traktor.

Published: February 2017

Abstrak

Pola permintaan pupuk Urea dan TSP didekati dengan model-model ekonometrik yang mencari hubungan antara jumlah konsumsi pupuk Urea dan TSP dengan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Pengetahuan yang baik mengenai faktor-faktor yang dapat memacu perluasan penggunaan pupuk beserta kendala-kendalanya akan berguna untuk mewujudkan pengembangan pemasaran pupuk yang efisien. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa irigasi merupakan faktor yang dominan dalam menerangkan keragaman permintaan pupuk Urea dan juga pupuk TSP. Di samping itu, faktor irigasi memiliki elastisitas permintaan yang tinggi, yang memungkinkannya menjadi peubah (variabel) kebijaksanaan yang efektif. Untuk permintaan pupuk Urea, kontribusi keragaman faktor irigasi tercatat 56.47 persen dengan nilai elastisitas permintaan 63 persen (model 3). Untuk permintaan pupuk TSP, kontribusi faktor irigasi tercatat 39.62 persen dengan nilai elastisitas permintaan 54 persen (model2). Perbaikan dan perluasan areal irigasi akan memungkinkan peningkatan areal intensifikasi Bimas dan lnmas yang nyata mempengaruhi permintaan pupuk Urea dan TSP. Faktor rasio harga pupuk terhadap harga padi, nyata mempengaruhi permintaan pupuk Urea dan TSP; demikian pula faktor tingkat pengetahuan teknis petani. Curah hujan musiman tidak nyata mempengaruhi permintaan pupuk Urea maupun pupuk TSP. Penelitian yang bersifat mikro dengan data primer disarankan dilakukan untuk melengkapi gambaran permintaan pupuk Urea dan TSP di Indonesia.

Authors: Hadi Prajogo Utomo , Friyatno Supena
Published: February 2017

Selama dasawarsa terakhir, meluasnya kampanye anti tembakau karena pertimbangan kesehatan yang diperkuat dengan telah diratifikasinya Konvensi Kerangka Pengendalian Tembakau, berkurangnya dukungan pemerintah untuk pengembangan ekonomi tembakau serta meningkatnya kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya hidup sehat, maka ancaman terhadap ekonomi tembakau dunia dan Indonesia mulai terasa. Dikhawatirkan ekonomi tembakau dunia akan terus melesu dan berdampak pada Indonesia. Sehubungan dengan itu, makalah ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja serta peranan sektor tembakau dan sektor industri rokok dalam perekonomian nasional Indonesia. Beberapa temuan penting adalah sebagai berikut (i) produksi tembakau selama periode 2000-2006 menurun rata-rata 5,98 persen per tahun, (ii) konsumsi rokok per kapita cenderung naik dengan naiknya pendapatan per kapita, (iii) sektor tembakau dan sektor industri rokok memberikan sumbangan sekitar 7 persen terhadap penerimaan negara dari dalam negeri, namun lebih banyak menguras daripada menghasilkan devisa negara, (iv) peranan sektor tembakau dan sektor industri rokok dalam penciptaan nilai output, nilai tambah, dan penyerapan tenaga kerja kurang signifikan, namun keduanya mempunyai angka pengganda output cukup besar, terutama sektor tembakau, dan (v) sektor tembakau mampu menarik sektor hulunya dan mendorong sektor hilirnya untuk berkembang, sedangkan sektor industri rokok hanya mampu mendorng sektor hilirnya. Disarankan agar (i) dalam pengembangan sektor tembakau dan sektor industri rokok ke depan perlu mempertimbangkan keseimbangan antara aspek ekonomi dan aspek kesehatan dan (ii) kandungan nikotin dan tar dalam rokok perlu dikurangi serta mencari alternatif penggunaan tembakau untuk nonrokok yang fisibel secara ekonomi.
Analisis Efektivitas Kebijakan Publik Memihak Masyakat Miskin: Studi Kasus Pelaksanaan Program Raskin di Provinsi Jawa Barat pada Tahun 2007
Authors: Hutagaol M. Parulian , Asmara Alla
Published: February 2017

Studi ini mempunyai tiga tujuan, yaitu (a) menelaah keefektifan pelaksanaan program Raskin pada tahun 2007, (b)  mengkaji persepsi RTM mengenai kemungkinan peningkatan harga tebus normatif raskin di masa depan, dan (c) merumuskan rekomendasi kebijakan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pelaksanaan program Raskin. Studi dilakukan di provinsi Jawa Barat. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan program masih belum begitu efektif. Di semua wilayah desa yang dipelajari, RTM menebus raskin dengan harga yang jauh di atas harga tebus normatifnya (Rp 1/000 per kg). Juga, RTM menerima raskin dalam kuantitas yang jauh lebih sedikit dari kuota normatifnya (10 Kg per RTM per bulan). Para RTM tidak keberatan bila pemerintah menaikkan tebus raskin, asal dua hal berikut dipenuhi oleh pemerintah. Pertama, harga tebus raskin yang baru tersebut adalah harga franco di rumah RTM. Kedua, pemerintah menaikkan kuota RTM 20 Kg per RTM per bulan seperti dulu. Untuk lebih mengefektifkan pelaksaan program Raskin, studi ini merekomendasikan agar pemerintah mengembangkan sistem kendali pelaksanaan program Raskin di tingkat desa, menaikkan harga tebus normatif raskin, dan menaikkan kuota raskin bulanan RTM menjadi 20 Kg per RTM per bulan, serta melibatkan Pemkab/Pemkot dalam menanggung pembiayaan program Raskin.

Authors: Sumaryanto NFN
Published: February 2017

Sejak beberapa tahun terakhir ini harga komoditas pangan cenderung semakin tidak stabil. Terkait dengan itu, efektivitas kebijakan stabilisasi harga pangan ditentukan oleh tersedianya informasi yang lengkap dan pemahaman yang lebih baik mengenai volatilitas harga komoditas yang bersangkutan. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk menganalisis dan memperbandingkan volatilitas harga komoditas pangan utama yaitu beras, gula pasir, terigu, telur, minyak goreng, cabai merah, dan bawang merah di Indonesia dalam periode dua puluh lima tahun terakhir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ragam harga eceran terdeflasi untuk komoditas beras, gula pasir, terigu, cabai merah, dan bawang merah bersifat heteroskedastik sehingga model peramalan yang lebih sesuai adalah ARCH/GARCH. Dengan pendekatan itu terbukti bahwa sejak Reformasi harga eceran beras, tepung terigu, dan gula pasir ternyata lebih volatil. Untuk harga eceran cabai merah maupun bawang merah, perbedaan volatilitas antara periode sebelum dan sesudah  Reformasi tidak nyata.
