Morphological study of different varieties of rice traits influencing nitrogen and water uptake efficiency
Authors: Mouhamad Raghad S.
Published: February 2020

This research aimed at establishing the morphology of the root and sizes under various irrigation cultures. The comparison was made for root to shoot ratio under the traditional culture of flooding. We hypothesize that, due to limited root system development under aerobic conditions, rice is poorly adapted to different environments. In the meantime, there has to be an increase in demand for grain and output per area, as newly planted areas are scarce. This study discusses the latest theoretical physiological, metabolic and genetic factors affecting nitrogen intake and use in different N processes. It covers the root system's position and nitrate- ammonium assimilation and its relationship with Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) and Water Use Efficiency (WUE), were discussed. Phenotyping and molecular breeding techniques concerning N and water regimes and genetic diversity were also evaluated and simulated.

Background

Digital health interventions (DHIs) are poised to reduce target symptoms in a scalable, affordable, and empirically supported way. DHIs that involve coaching or clinical support often collect text data from 2 sources: (1) open correspondence between users and the trained practitioners supporting them through a messaging system and (2) text data recorded during the intervention by users, such as diary entries. Natural language processing (NLP) offers methods for analyzing text, augmenting the understanding of intervention effects, and informing therapeutic decision making.

Objective

This study aimed to present a technical framework that supports the automated analysis of both types of text data often present in DHIs. This framework generates text features and helps to build statistical models to predict target variables, including user engagement, symptom change, and therapeutic outcomes.

Methods

We first discussed various NLP techniques and demonstrated how they are implemented in the presented framework. We then applied the framework in a case study of the Healthy Body Image Program, a Web-based intervention trial for eating disorders (EDs). A total of 372 participants who screened positive for an ED received a DHI aimed at reducing ED psychopathology (including binge eating and purging behaviors) and improving body image. These users generated 37,228 intervention text snippets and exchanged 4285 user-coach messages, which were analyzed using the proposed model.

Results

We applied the framework to predict binge eating behavior, resulting in an area under the curve between 0.57 (when applied to new users) and 0.72 (when applied to new symptom reports of known users). In addition, initial evidence indicated that specific text features predicted the therapeutic outcome of reducing ED symptoms.

Conclusions

The case study demonstrates the usefulness of a structured approach to text data analytics. NLP techniques improve the prediction of symptom changes in DHIs. We present a technical framework that can be easily applied in other clinical trials and clinical presentations and encourage other groups to apply the framework in similar contexts.

Types of Attitudes toward Traits and Their Role in Selfand Other Assessments
Authors: Baleva Milena V. , Polyanina Olga I. , Smirnova Irina V.
Published: February 2020

The study integrates the experimental and descriptive approaches to the attitudes. The assumptions that the emotional, cognitive and behavioral components of attitudes toward personality traits, as well as the types of these attitudes mediate the selfand the Other assessments are under consideration. The study involved 314 students aged 18 to 30 years old (M = 20.23; SD = 1.59), of which 79 men (25%) and 235 women (75%). To measure attitudes toward traits, as well as the selfand the Other assessments, a list of 20 antonymic adjectives denoting personality characteristics was used. The objects of perception were young man and woman who answered the questions of the Short Dark Triad Questionnaire as an absolutely “good” or “bad” person. Using cluster analysis, diﬀerent types of attitudes toward traits were highlighted within each component (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral). These types were determined by the participants’ position in relation to positive and negative traits. The attained results indicate that the subject’s self-esteem depends on the attitudes toward traits and detects diﬀerent severity depending on the attitudes type. The highest self-esteem is observed in those subjects who: 1) consider that positive traits are more common than negative; 2) give highly contrast emotional ratings to positive and negative traits; 3) believe that positive traits are less controlled than negative ones. The assessment of the Other also reveals a connection with the types of the attitudes toward traits: the “good” Other is rated higher when the emotional attitudes toward traits are highly contrast, while the “bad” Other is rated higher when: 1) the negative traits are treated as more common; 2) the contrast between positive and negative traits is perceived as moderate. The results obtained open up the new perspectives for the correction of the selfand the Other assessments through the formation of attitudes toward traits.
Speaker as a Deontic Agent in Political Speech (on the Material of German and Russian Languages)
Authors: Sytko Anna W.
Published: February 2020

This work is devoted to the problem of semantic and functional variability of deontic constructions, where the speaker himself is deontic agent, in the nuclear genre of political discourse - political speech - in German and Russian linguistic cultures. As the material deontic expressions with prototypical modal explicators are used, such as dolzen, ich muss, kann, darf, nado / nuzhno . It is fixed that the speaker in political speech can be deontic agent only in the structures with verbs of speaking. On the basis of contextual analysis the semantic polysemy of theses modal constructions is defined that is determined by the socio-cultural context is revealed. The method of functional-semantic description allows revealing the discursive polyfunctionality of these deontic statements.

Os resultados do estudo indicam que os sites das Rádios não apresentam os requisitos mínimos necessários de organização que possibilitem a armazenagem e a recuperação da informação de modo eficiente e satisfatório. De acordo com o panorama apresentado, torna-se evidente o importante papel que as áreas acima mencionadas desempenham no que diz respeito ao processo de recuperação da informação no âmbito das rádios universitárias.
Uma análise do discurso da dimensão cultural da ISKO
Authors: Evangelista Isadora Victorino , Barros Thiago Henrique Bragato , Moraes João Batista Ernesto de
Published: February 2020

Considerando o crescimento das pesquisas sobre as questões culturais em Organização e Representação do Conhecimento (ORC) e a International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO) como a instituição mais representativa na divulgação de pesquisas em ORC, questiona-se em que medida os aspectos culturais da área apareceram e foram construídos nos eventos internacionais da referida sociedade. Para tanto, objetiva-se analisar os conceitos relacionados à essa temática por meio dos editoriais publicados nos anais dos eventos realizados. Como metodologia, utilizou-se a Análise do Discurso Foucaultiana estudada por Pêcheux e seu grupo, por se tratar de uma metodologia que possui como característica a ruptura de ideologias e que preza por evidenciar relações entre dominados e dominantes. Foi possível observar que os conceitos culturais foram mencionados apenas no 4º Congresso realizado pela sociedade, em que se refletiu uma preocupação com as questões multiculturais e multilinguísticas. Após esse primeiro momento, essas questões apareceram em subtemas, temas de congressos, mesas-redondas e no último congresso realizado, houve uma dimensão dedicada somente a essas questões. Os resultados permitiram inferir que a tônica sociocultural vem se apresentando e ganhando importante espaço nas últimas pesquisas sobre o campo, demonstrando que não apenas é necessária para o desenvolvimento ético dos processos de organização, mas que também é fundamental que pesquisas nesse sentido se façam cada vez mais presentes.
Critérios de qualidade em periódicos científicos
Authors: Passos Paula Caroline Schifino Jardim , Passos Jaire Ederson , Caregnato Sônia Elisa , Silva Tânia Luisa Koltermann da
Published: February 2020

A avaliação de periódicos científicos tem sido preocupação dos pesquisadores desde meados do século XX. Os critérios de avaliação inicialmente propostos consideravam a qualidade das revistas científicas em seu suporte original, o impresso. Porém, com o tempo, essas revistas adotaram preponderantemente o meio digital para publicação. Neste contexto, interessa à presente pesquisa investigar em que medida a avaliação dos periódicos científicos tem acompanhado o avanço tecnológico, abrangendo também aspectos relacionados ao suporte eletrônico. A questão que norteia a pesquisa é a seguinte: como as metodologias de avaliação de revistas científicas comtemplam critérios referentes ao meio digital? Para responder a esta pergunta, identificou-se, nas publicações relativas ao tema, critérios de qualidade de revistas científicas associados às especificidades da mídia eletrônica. O levantamento de dados foi efetuado nas bases Web of Science, Science Direct e Brapci, na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, no Banco de Tese e no Google Acadêmico. Como recurso para visualização dos resultados, apresenta-se um quadro comparativo das metodologias de avaliação que destaca a presença dos critérios: meio impresso, meio eletrônico, hipertexto, hipermídia, usabilidade, acesso aberto, arquitetura da informação e recursos para interação e colaboração em rede. O quadro também informa sobre os autores que deram origem aos estudos relacionados e classifica as metodologias como qualitativa ou quantitativa. A pesquisa demonstra uma tendência de adequação das metodologias de avaliação de revistas científicas ao contexto digital e apresenta as áreas que ainda requerem estudos aprofundados.

Análise das comunidades de pesquisadores brasileiros que atuam na área da Filosofia: um estudo a partir da justaposição entre os dados da Plataforma Lattes e Web of Science (2007-2016)
Authors: Silva Fábio Mascarenhas , Sánchez María Luisa Lascurain , López Antonio Eleazar Serrano , Casado Elías Sanz
Published: February 2020

Analisa se há diferentes populações de pesquisadores brasileiros da Filosofia na justaposição entre os registros das bases Plataforma Lattes (PL) e Web of Science (WoS) no que respeita aos hábitos de publicação. O universo contemplou 6.060 currículos de pesquisadores atuantes na Filosofia, dos quais se extraíram 43.345 artigos publicados entre 2007 a 2016, desses, 1.657 estão indexados na WoS. Os dados da PL foram extraídos com o ScriptLattes. Utilizaram-se pacotes em linguagem de programação R para identificar os idiomas dos artigos e as temáticas (técnica de “Topic Modeling”). Para gerar grafos de coautoria adotou-se o Gephi. Este estudo identificou duas populações distintas: uma que atua e produz majoritariamente na Filosofia ou temas afins às Ciências Humanas e Sociais (a maioria dos currículos) e outra cuja atuação e produção científica estão centradas nas Ciências da Vida (os currículos da justaposição), porém com traços interdisciplinares concentrados em estudos bioéticos e epistemológicos. Os resultados indicam uma produtividade média maior na segunda metade da década para ambas as bases. O idioma português prevalece na PL com 89%, enquanto a língua inglesa domina na WoS com 75,72%. O núcleo de periódicos da PL concentra-se na área da Filosofia enquanto na WoS predominam as Ciências da vida, o mesmo ocorre nos mapas temáticos. Há compatibilidade entre os mapas de tópicos temáticos e os grafos de coautorias, sugerindo boa representação das comunidades analisadas. Conclui-se que a metodologia de justaposição de dados torna visível padrões subjacentes de hábitos de publicação, imperceptíveis nas estratégias metodológicas tradicionais.
DGABr: Metric for evaluating Brazilian open government data
Authors: Silva Patricia Nascimento , Pinheiro Marta Macedo Kerr
Published: February 2020

Open Government Data (OGD) is the term used since 2007 to refer to open government data, that is, public data produced or commissioned by the public sector, available on the internet for free use. The availability of OGD was encouraged by initiatives for disclosure of data carried out in 2009 by the United States of America and these initiatives were developed in several countries. However, with the amount of public information disclosed by governments, the idea of open content has been increasingly associated to access to information. In Brazil, plans that regard information policies do not establish a standard with guidelines or models for OGD publication. Thus, in the absence of metrics to evaluate the initiatives of data openness by the Brazilian government and its reuse, this article presents the Brazilian metric DGABr, one of the results of a doctoral research. DGABr is a proposed model to evaluate the OGD in the Federal Public Administration of Brazil, based on metrics and international indicators. The experience from other countries regarding OGD evaluation directed the creation of the DGABr; however, Brazil’s legislation and information policies had a direct influence on OGD measurements. DGABr is an initial proposal to evaluate Brazil’s OGD and their reuse and should evolve with the country’s information policy. The proof of concept performed with the metric identified a positive result for the OGD evaluation, allowing validation of the perspectives and dimensions proposed in the metric and its potential reuse indicator.

Gestão dos recursos florestais na Caatinga: além de medidas formais de descentralização administrativa
Authors: Lucena Marcelo Silva de
Published: February 2020

A descentralização, onde o poder público atua em sinergia com as comunidades locais, é apontada como uma forma adequada à conservação e à sustentabilidade dos recursos florestais nativos. Assim, este trabalho discute como a gestão florestal descentralizada pode ser decisiva para o manejo florestal sustentável em face da realidade socioambiental da Caatinga no nordeste brasileiro. Baseados no método dedutivo, realizamos a análise exploratória de artigos, revistas, dados geográficos, ambientais e da distribuição fundiária abrigados em bases científicas e institucionais. A abordagem de perfis básicos do contexto fundiário, socioambiental e da atuação pública, em relação à descentralização da gestão florestal na Caatinga, proporcionou a proposição de um modelo de gestão visando a melhor conservação e sustentabilidade. Constatamos que, em um contexto fundiário onde predominam pequenas propriedades rurais, a gestão florestal tem de superar a descentralização administrativa formal, porque ações conjuntas entre poder público e as comunidades são necessárias à conservação e à sustentabilidade. É necessário incluir os recursos florestais como fator de conservação e de geração de renda, incluindo os usos florestais socialmente difundidos, como os sistemas silvipastoris e a inserção de áreas subaproveitadas e degradadas na produção florestal.

O artigo propõe uma leitura simbólica do ensaio Rio Baile Funk, do fotógrafo Vincent Rosenblatt, a fim de identificar se as imagens diferem das representações do corpo negro da iconografia fotográfica brasileira. Partindo de referenciais sobre a representação do negro na fotografia e sobre o funk como catalisador simbólico das pulsões do corpo, foi possível identificar aspectos simbólicos ligados a uma ritualística orgiástica, voltada ao contato e à profanação, que subvertem o estereótipo do corpo negro utilitário e subserviente.

On the almost everywhere statistical convergence of sequences of fuzzy numbers
Authors: Talo Özer
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we define the concept of almost everywhere statistical
convergence of a sequence of fuzzy numbers and prove that a sequence of
fuzzy numbers is almost everywhere statistically convergent if and only if
its statistical limit inferior and limit superior are equal. To achieve this
result, new representations for statistical limit inferior and limit
superior of a sequence of fuzzy numbers are obtained and we show that some
properties of statistical limit inferior and limit superior can be easily
derived from these representations.
Applications of third order differential subordination and superordination involving generalized struve function

In the present paper, by making use of the linear operator associated with
generalized Struve functions suitable classes of admissible functions are
investigated and the dual properties of the third-order differential
subordinations are presented. As a consequence, various sandwich-type
results are established for a class of univalent analytic functions
involving generalized Struve functions. Relevant connections of the new
results presented here with those that were considered in earlier works are
pointed out.
A class of big (p,q)-Appell polynomials and their associated difference equations
Authors: Srivastava H.M. , Yaşar B.Y. , Özarslan M.A.
Published: February 2020

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate the big (p,q)-Appell
polynomials. We prove an equivalance theorem satisfied by the big (p,
q)-Appell polynomials. As a special case of the big (p,q)- Appell
polynomials, we present the corresponding equivalence theorem, recurrence
relation and difference equation for the big q-Appell polynomials. We also
present the equivalence theorem, recurrence relation and differential
equation for the usual Appell polynomials. Moreover, for the big (p;
q)-Bernoulli polynomials and the big (p; q)-Euler polynomials, we obtain
recurrence relations and difference equations. In the special case when p =
1, we obtain recurrence relations and difference equations which are
satisfied by the big q-Bernoulli polynomials and the big q-Euler
polynomials. In the case when p = 1 and q ? 1-, the big (p,q)-Appell
polynomials reduce to the usual Appell polynomials. Therefore, the
recurrence relation and the difference equation obtained for the big (p;
q)-Appell polynomials coincide with the recurrence relation and differential
equation satisfied by the usual Appell polynomials. In the last section, we
have chosen to also point out some obvious connections between the (p;
q)-analysis and the classical q-analysis, which would show rather clearly
that, in most cases, the transition from a known q-result to the
corresponding (p,q)-result is fairly straightforward.

Tauberian conditions under which convergence follows from Cesàro summability of double integrals over R2
Authors: Fındık Gökşen , Çanak İbrahim
Published: February 2020

For a real- or complex-valued continuous function f over R2+:= [0,1) x
[0,1), we denote its integral over [0,u] x [0,v] by s(u,v) and its (C,1,
1) mean, the average of s(u,v) over [0,u] x [0,v], by ?(u,v). The other
means (C,1,0) and (C; 0; 1) are defined analogously. We introduce the
concepts of backward differences and the Kronecker identities in different
senses for double integrals over R2+. We give onesided and two-sided
Tauberian conditions based on the difference between double integral of s(u,
v) and its means in different senses for Ces?ro summability methods of
double integrals over [0,u] x [0,v] under which convergence of s(u,v)
follows from integrability of s(u,v) in different senses.

operators. We prove that if A(BA)2 = ABACA = ACABA = (AC)2A, then ?*(AC) {0} = ?*(BA)\{0} where ?+ runs over a large of spectra originated by
regularities.
Sharp bounds for the modified multiplicative Zagreb indices of graphs with vertex connectivity at most k
Authors: Wang Haiying , Wang Shaohui , Wei Bing
Published: February 2020

Zagreb indices and their modified versions of a molecular graph originate
from many practical problems such as two dimensional quantitative
structure-activity (2D QSAR) and molecular chirality. Nowadays, they have
become important invariants which can be used to characterize the properties
of graphs from different aspects. LetVk n (or Ek n respectively) be a set of
graphs of n vertices with vertex connectivity (or edge connectivity
respectively) at most k. In this paper, we explore some properties of the
modified first and second multiplicative Zagreb indices of graphs in Vkn
and Ekn. By using analytic and combinatorial tools, we obtain some sharp
lower and upper bounds for these indices of graphs in Vk n and Ekn. In
addition, the corresponding extremal graphs which attain the lower or upper
bounds are characterized. Our results enrich outcomes on studying Zagreb
indices and the methods developed in this paper may provide some new tools
for investigating the values on modified multiplicative Zagreb indices of
other classes of graphs.
2-Amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles as prospective agents in trypanosomiasis and other parasitoses
Authors: Serban Georgeta
Published: February 2020

Parasitic diseases are a serious public health problem affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. African trypanosomiasis, American trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, malaria and toxoplasmosis are the main parasitic infections caused by protozoan parasites with over one million deaths each year. Due to old medications and drug resistance worldwide, there is an urgent need for new antiparasitic drugs. 1,3,4-Thiadiazoles have been widely studied for medical applications. The chemical, physical and pharmacokinetic properties recommend 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring as a target in drug development. Many scientific papers report the antiparasitic potential of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles. This review presents synthetic 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles exhibiting antitrypanosomal, antimalarial and antitoxoplasmal activities. Although there are insufficient results to state the quality of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles as a new class of antiparasitic agents, many reported derivatives can be considered as lead compounds for drug synthesis and a promise for the future treatment of parasitosis and provide a valid strategy for the development of potent antiparasitic drugs.
Genealogy of Political Theatre in Post-Socialism. From the Anti-“System” Nihilism to the Anti-Capitalist Left
Authors: Schwartz David
Published: February 2020

What have been the conditions of production for a political theatre to appear in post-1990s Romania? How and why contemporary theatre in Romania ended up ignoring or dismissing the leftwing, engaged or militant theatrical movements active before 1945? Why local theatre history and theory entirely obliterated, also, the politically-engaged theatre forms active during communism itself? What kind of tradition forms the contemporary political theatre, what is the politics that informs their working practices and collaborations, how do the artists engage with the groups they choose to give voice and with the audience? Using a broad and on-purpose multi-faceted definition of political theatre, the article focuses on theatre artists, practices and performances that question capitalism as a social and power structure, sometimes from an intersectional perspective, but always framing this criticism in a class approach. Largely a practice-based analysis, the text gives a comprehensive on-going history of a strong performative movement and its challenges, from the representational strategies and the financial and positioning issues to the scarcity of critical covering and reviewing and the extending of an (opposite) political engagement in the mainstream theatre in Romania.
Cultural Workers from the Paintbrush Factory. Between Institution-Building and Urban Development Challenges
Authors: Mironică Marina
Published: February 2020

The paper is an ethnography of cultural workers from the contemporary art centre from Cluj-Napoca, Romania – The Paintbrush Factory. The one-decade existence of the alternative space contributed to a range of changes in the local cultural scene and evolved from a physical space into a resource for the city’s culture-led development strategy. It also became affected and reshaped by wider changes in terms of applied cultural policies. Cultural workers’ perspective, their precarity and their involvement in the local art scene influenced the current commodification and entrepreneurialisation of the cultural offer. The Paintbrush Factory’s expansion and contraction are vividly presented through the reflexive lenses of the cultural workers and managers, whose case-study could easily be regarded as a signal and a symbol of the deficient cultural policies mostly oriented to profit and lacking any local and long term-vision.
A vision of postcolonial New Zealand in Keri Hulme’s novel "The Bone People"
Authors: Kroplewska-Kuśnierz Ewa
Published: February 2020

Initially rejected by a number of publishing companies, Keri Hulme’s book entitled “The Bone People” attracted public attention in 1985, when it was awarded the Booker Prize. The novel ponders the topic of isolation and the feelings and actions related to it. The characters build their own borders, physical or psychological, while living in a country whose multiculturalism is an inherent quality. The author presents a postcolonial vision of New Zealand by providing an example of three people of various origins who, despite being tormented by their troubled past and with a present marked by various forms of abuse, finally manage to overcome the boundaries in order to create bonds and become a family.
Beyond the canon: Don Ihde and North American philosophy of technology
Authors: Misztal Arkadiusz
Published: February 2020

The paper seeks to discuss the origin and development of North American philosophy of technology against the background of the phenomenological canon. More specifically, it traces the trajectory of Don Ihde’s thought, whose “Technics and Praxis” (1979) is usually cited as the first North American book specifically described as a philosophy of technology. While the phenomenological tradition provided a firm foundation for Ihde’s project, it has never acted as a rigid conceptual framework. Enriching his theoretical perspective with insights taken from the engagements with pragmatism, Ihde departed from Heideggerian-style traditional phenomenological analyses of technology in a number of ways, which this paper discusses. In most general terms, as I argue, Ihde has reversed the direction of Heideggerian inquiry that concentrates on how concrete tools and procedures disclose their underlying reality and thus moved towards the analysis of technologies in their particularities. This shift has allowed him to approach the multidimensionality of technologies as material cultures within a lifeworld and explore the different aspects of experience that result from human-technology relations as embedded in specific cultural and social dimensions.
Agreement between the Stages Cycling and PowerTap Powermeter

Published: February 2020

Several powermeters for almost every type of bicycle are available. The PowerTap (CycleOps) quantifies cycling power and cadence in the rear wheel hub and has already been validated in previous studies. The Stages Cycling Powermeter (Stages Cycling) is lower-priced and more flexible for usage as it measures in the left crank arm. The aim of this study was to determine the agreement between these two devices. 38 participants performed laboratory tests on a stationary roadbike. Power output and cadence were recorded with PowerTap and Stages simultaneously. Differences in power output and cadence were determined. The agreement between methods was quantified by use of mean differences and limits of agreement. Stages Powermeter underestimates power output by -1.9±4.0%) in comparison to the PowerTap (limits of agreement: 5.9% to -9.7%). Considering cadence, Stages calculates 0.94± 0.16) revolutions per minute more than the PowerTap (limits of agreement: -0.4 to 2.3 rpm). Mean coefficients of variation for power output (50.1%) and cadence (14.2%) estimate good reliability of Stages compared to PowerTap (50.3% and 14.3%). Despite a systematic bias, Stages can be considered a suitable alternative to measure power output. However, limitations regarding power output measurement have to be respected, especially when cycling with high intensities.

Sub sequently stable in the period 2008 to 2009 and a slight decrease in 2010 becoming 40.876 households. The year 2012 has increased to 42 328 households. City Government always increase direct spending as a way to reduce poverty. Based on the results of the regression analysis, it turns out increasing direct spending City Government, however, the number of poor households is increasing, it is likely caused by the presence of one target in a program conducted by the City Government.Key Word: Poverty, City of Bogor, direct spending ABSTRAKPersoalan kemiskinan merupakan persoalan utama di Indonesia termasuk di Kota Bogor. Jumlah Kepala Keluarga (KK) miskin di Kota Bogor mengalami fluktuasi,maka sejak tahun 2004 hingga tahun 2010 mengalami peningkatan dari angka 21.914 KK pada tahun 2004 menjadi 43.749 KK miskin pada tahun 2007. Selanjutnya stagnan pada periode 2008 sampai 2009 dan sedikit mengalami penurunan pada tahun 2010 menjadi 40.876 KK. Tahun 2012 mengalami peningkatan menjadi 42.328KK. Pemerintah Kota Bogor selalu meningkatkan belanja langsung sebagai salah satu cara untuk mengurangi kemiskinan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis regresi, ternyata semakin meningkatnya belanja langsung Pemerintah Kota Bogor, ternyata jumlah KK miskin selalu meningkat, hal ini kemungkinan disebabkan oleh adanya salah sasaran dalam program yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Kota Bogor.Kata Kunci: Kemiskinan, Kota Bogor, Belanja Langsung
