Convergence Analysis of Economic Growth in East Java
Authors: Amalia Sri Karima , Santoso Dwi Budi , Sasongko Sasongko
Published: April 2020

Convergence and divergence of economic growth is a regional economic issue. The concept of convergence occurs when areas with poor economies tend to grow faster than areas with a rich economy whereas divergence occurs otherwise.  East Java has a high economic growth but has a high inequality between districts/municipalities as well.  Based on the concept of the inverted U-shape of the Kuznets curve, the East Java situation thus indicates that East Java is at the starting point of economic development. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high economic growth with low inequality through acceleration of convergence by knowing the level of convergence of economic growth and acceleration factors of economic growth convergence of East Java. This study uses panel data from 38 districts/municipalities in East Java between 2005 and 2014 by adopting the model Barro & Sala-i-Martin (1992) then the model specification in answering research objectives are sigma convergence, absolute convergence, and conditional convergence. The estimation results show that in East Java economic growth is convergent at a low level so that efforts need to accelerate the convergence that can be reached through 5 (five) development policies, (i) equalization of basic infrastructure such as access equity (ii) equal distribution of energy availability, (iii) equalization of investment, (iv) equal distribution of labor force, and (v) equality of labor productivity

Authors: Prayitno Hengky S.H. , Santoso Dwi Budi , Ekawaty Marlina
Published: April 2020

Indonesian government has established social safety net programs to reduce poverty and increase the productivity and income of poor households. Among other provinces in Indonesia, East Java has the highest poverty rate. Thus, this research aims to analyze the effectiveness of social safety net programs in reducing poverty rate in East Java. This research uses quantitative approach to measure the contribution of social safety net programs towards the income of poor households in East Java. This research employs equivalent simultaneous equation with three-stage least square (3SLS) method on secondary cross section data obtained from National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), March 2015. This research calculates and analyzes the impacts of social aid, social protection and labor market intervention programs towards the income of poor household income. The results show that social aid and labor market intervention programs have positive implication on the income of poor households. On the other hand, social security has no significant implication. Moreover, social security provides a safety net when a household faces unexpected situation such as redundancy, accident and death. Social security programs prevent poor households for being poorer.

Authors: Udjianto Didit Welly , Susanto Joko , Purwiyanta Purwiyanta
Published: April 2020

The paper examines whether labour productivity converges or diverges. This research estimates the convergence of labour productivity, and the effects of infrastructure to support this convergence, based on a set panel data comprising 18 districts in Gunungkidul Regency from 2009 to 2016. The secondary data published by the Statistics of DIY is used in this study. The infrastructure includes educational facilities, health facilities and length of the road. A fixed-effect model presents that there is a process of convergence of labour productivity among districts in Gunungkidul Regency. Moreover, the result shows that infrastructure has a positive effect on labour productivity. This research finds that labour productivity, in the lagging districts, tends to grow faster than advanced ones. Thus, the labour productivity gap between districts will disappear. A better educational and health facilities supports the speed of the knowledge transfer process to generate productive labour. For supporting the convergence of labour productivity, the local government has to improve infrastructure especially in lagging districts. Likewise, improvements in road facilities solve the problem of high-cost distribution to increase labour productivity.

Authors: Yunan Zuhairan Y. , Andini Ayu
Published: April 2020

Corruption has causal impacts on economic and social development indicators. The discussion on this issue is widely interesting among economists, especially in Southeast Asia Countries which have been considered that has as a corrupt governance system. The objective of this study is to analyze the causality of corruption, poverty, and economic growth among ASEAN countries between 2002 and 2015. Four countries have been choosen since they have the same characteristics in term of the indicators presented. Granger causality test and Random Effect Model have been used to answer problem question of this paper. The results show that statistically, both of economic development indicators have a significant effect to corruption, while each indicator has a different direction. Meanwhile, causality test presents a tendency in Philippines. Hence, it is only economic growth is affecting corruption significantly and it occurs between poverty and corruption as well. In Thailand, different result shows that the causality happenes poverty and economic growth indicators. However, Indonesia and Malaysia have no causality at all.
Government’s Cash Transfers And School Dropout In Rural Areas
Authors: Setyadharma Andryan
Published: April 2020

Indonesia is committed to education but the Government of Indonesia still struggle with dropout problem at upper secondary school level, especially students from rural areas who dropping out of school before graduating. The dropout events can be explained through the demand for education. In 2008 Government of Indonesia introduced Bantuan Siswa Miskin program, the Cash Transfers for Poor Students (recently is known as Kartu Indonesia Pintar), in order to reduce numbers of dropouts. The program is mainly to cover students’ indirect costs and is implicitly used to increase students’ demand for education. The objective of this study is to get better understanding on the impact of government’s cash transfers on rural students’ dropout at upper secondary schools in Central Java Province. Primary data was collected from rural areas in all regencies and cities. The likelihood to drop out is estimated using Probit regressions. There are two main findings in this study. First, the result shows that higher education expenditure is significantly increasing the probability of rural students to drop out. Second, it is evidence that government’s cash transfers significantly diminish the rural students’ likelihood of dropping out. Based on the findings, it is suggested the Government of Indonesia must reduce education costs and the government also should expand the number of cash transfers for poor rural students.

Types of data used are time series data i.e SMEs data and Economic growth data from year 2003 until 2018 in Indonesia.Tool of analyze data used in this research is multiple linear regression. The result of analysis shows that the influence between of SMEs on economic growth in Indonesia is only 12,5%, it means that Small Micro Entreprises do not have a significant influence on economic growth in Indonesia, government to accelerate the development of SMEs in Indonesia in order to contribute to economic growth as in the economic crisis that occurred in 1998 SMEs are able to survive when many large companies are bankrupt. This may be caused by SMEs owners and workers in SMEs do not pay taxes to the government so that not much contribute to the economic growth of the Indonesia. In order for SMEs to contribute to economic growth, must export their products to other countries and support from the government is needed to facilitate SMEs in obtaining capital access from financial institutions.

Does Agricultural Performance Contribute to Rural Poverty Reduction in Indonesia?
Authors: Arham Muhammad Amir , Fadhli Ahmad , Dai Sri Indriyani
Published: April 2020

Agriculture is the primary sector in many provinces in Indonesia. In fact, most of the rural communities work in the agricultural sector. Nevertheless, the poverty level in rural areas remains high. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the performance of the agricultural sector in reducing the rural poverty level in Indonesia, and to investigate factors that contribute as a determinant in reducing rural poverty level in Indonesia. This study was significant, considering that the result was to contribute to government policy evaluation in the agricultural sector, especially in reducing poverty in rural areas. This study used quantitative analysis through multiple regressions with data panel from 2014 to 2017 from 33 provinces in Indonesia. This study revealed that the increase of agricultural sector share and the widening of the income distribution had caused an increase in poor people in a rural area. This finding also revealed that the income distribution gap was a determinant to the severity of rural poverty. The growth in the agricultural sector to contribute toward the economy could reduce rural poverty level in Indonesia. Meanwhile, agricultural financing, economic growth, inflation, and the farmer exchange rate had not significantly contributed to reducing the poverty level.
Pegvisomant and not somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) is first-line medical therapy for acromegaly
Authors: van der Lely Aart J , Kuhn Emmanuelle , Muhammad Ammar , Coopmans Eva C , Neggers Sebastian J , Chanson Philippe
Published: April 2020

Current guidelines recommend the use of long-acting somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) first when surgery fails to correct GH/IGF-I hypersecretion in patients with acromegaly. In this issue of the journal, a pro- and contra debate will outline which arguments are in favour and which are against positioning pegvisomant (PEGV), a GH receptor antagonist, as the first-line treatment modality of acromegaly. The task of the pros was to promote a paradigm shift towards repositioning PEGV as first-line treatment as PEGV is safe and more effective than the first- and second-generation of SRLs. SRLs, when prescribed together with PEGV can still reduce tumour size when necessary, while they decrease the necessary dose of PEGV by around 50% in the average patient. They conclude that PEGV must move up towards the first-line treatment. For the cons, SRLs remain the first-line medical treatment. Indeed, even if, in recent studies, the remission rate is lower than initially claimed, SRLs are still effective not only for normalizing GH/IGF-I levels in half of the patients but also for inducing tumour shrinkage, improving comorbidities and headaches and reversing excess mortality. They are more convenient for use with their monthly administration and have a remarkable safety profile as demonstrated by the very prolonged experience acquired by more than 30 years of use. Finally, the cost-effectiveness of first-generation SRLs is better than that of PEGV. For all these reasons, cons consider that SRLs remain the best first medical treatment in patients requiring medical therapy.
Cushing’s disease: the desmopressin test as a compelling predictive marker of long-term remission after transsphenoidal surgery
Authors: Vassiliadi D A , Tsagarakis S
Published: April 2020

Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is the treatment of choice in Cushing’s disease. However, recurrence rates are substantial and currently there are no robust predictors of late prognosis. As accumulating evidence challenge the accuracy of the traditionally used early postoperative cortisol values, alternative tests are required. The study of Cambos et al., published in a recent issue of the European Journal of Endocrinology, adds to the existing data that support a role of the desmopressin test as an early and reliable predictive marker in successfully TSS-treated patients. However, despite these promising data, the use of this test is hampered by the fact that it can be applied only in patients with a documented preoperative positive test. Moreover, the lack of robust criteria to define positive postoperative responses represents another major limitation.

Authors: Sharma Nandita , Cortez Daniel , Disori Kristin , Imundo Jason R. , Beck Michael
Published: April 2020

In this article, we will review various aspects of long QT syndrome (LQTS) necessary for hospitalists who care for children, adolescents, and young adults who have known LQTS and also review presenting features that should make one consider LQTS as a cause of hospitalization. Pediatric hospitalists care for patients who have suffered near-drowning, unexplained motor vehicular accidents, brief resolved unexpected events, sudden infant death syndrome, recurrent miscarriages, syncope, or seizures. These common conditions can be clinical clues in patients harboring 1 of 16 LQTS genetic mutations. LQTS is commonly caused by a channelopathy that can cause sudden cardiac death. Over the years, guidelines on management and recommendations for sports participation have evolved with our understanding of the disease and the burden of arrhythmias manifested in the pediatric age group. This review will include the genetic causes of LQTS, clinical features, and important historical information to obtain when these presentations are encountered. We will review medical and surgical treatments available to patients with LQTS and long-term care recommendations and prognosis for those diagnosed with LQTS.
Ventilation Strategies in Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Authors: Gibbs Kathleen , Jensen Erik A. , Alexiou Stamatia , Munson David , Zhang Huayan
Published: April 2020

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is an acquired, developmental chronic lung disease that is a consequence of premature birth. In the most severe form of the disease, infants may require prolonged periods of positive pressure ventilation. BPD is a heterogeneous disease with lung mechanics that differ from those in respiratory distress syndrome; strategies to manage the respiratory support in infants with severe BPD should take this into consideration. When caring for these infants, practitioners need to shift from the acute care ventilation strategies that use frequent blood gases and support adjustments designed to minimize exposure to positive pressure. Infants with severe BPD benefit from a chronic care model that uses less frequent ventilator adjustments and provides the level of positive support that will achieve the longer-term goal of ongoing lung growth and repair.
Strategies to Prevent Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity: A 2020 Update and Meta-analysis
Authors: Raghuveer Talkad S. , Zackula R.
Published: April 2020

The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is showing an increasing trend in the United States. This may be because of increasing survival rates among extremely preterm infants (<25 weeks’ gestation) and targeting higher oxygen saturation. Five randomized clinical trials of low versus high oxygen saturation target ranges found increased mortality in the low oxygen saturation target group and an increased incidence of ROP in the high oxygen saturation target group. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using an oxygen saturation target range of 90% to 95% in extremely low-birthweight infants. The change of practice to target this higher oxygen saturation range, from admission until discharge, may be contributing to the increasing incidence of ROP in extremely preterm infants. To decrease the incidence of ROP without increasing mortality, 2 new cohort trials suggest gradually increasing oxygen saturation targets as preterm infants mature. There is evidence that human milk, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids can help, in addition to continuous oxygen saturation monitoring, to decrease the risk of ROP. We review this literature and provide a meta-analysis to evaluate the evidence.
Joyce, el artista mirado por las palabras
Authors: Salas Guerra María Cecilia
Published: April 2020

En el Retrato del artista adolescente, Joyce asume la tarea de hacerse un nombre, al tiempo que confiesa la ajenidad frente al cuerpo y muestra la temprana conciencia del lenguaje. Interesa mostrar cómo, frente a esta novela, Umberto Eco insiste en el ropaje escolástico, o la mentalidad medieval transversal en la obra de Joyce, concluyendo que el irónico “retrato del tomista adolescente” no coincide tanto con el Joyce de Ulysses, sino que es el retrato de una “situación cultural” reconocida por el escritor irlandés y dotada de objetividad (Eco, 2000, p. 58). Por su parte, Jacques Lacan (2013) privilegia en esta novela, hecha con recuerdos infantiles, la función que cumplen allí la letra y el cuerpo. El artista adolescente deja caer el cuerpo, al tiempo que se desliza en una cascada de letras y palabras que parecen mirarle de frente. Es así como surge el joven artista de la caída y de la letra, con nombre de mártir-inventor, cristiano-pagano, saint homme-sinthome, augur y hacedor de laberintos: Stephen Dedalus.
Exploring the Use of Machine Learning to Automate the Qualitative Coding of Church-related Tweets
Authors: Cooper Anthony-Paul , Kolog Emmanuel Awuni , Sutinen Erkki
Published: April 2020

This article builds on previous research around the exploration of the content of church-related tweets. It does so by exploring whether the qualitative thematic coding of such tweets can, in part, be automated by the use of machine learning. It compares three supervised machine learning algorithms to understand how useful each algorithm is at a classification task, based on a dataset of human-coded church-related tweets. The study finds that one such algorithm, Naïve-Bayes, performs better than the other algorithms considered, returning Precision, Recall and F-measure values which each exceed an acceptable threshold of 70%. This has far-reaching consequences at a time where the high volume of social media data, in this case, Twitter data, means that the resource-intensity of manual coding approaches can act as a barrier to understanding how the online community interacts with, and talks about, church. The findings presented in this article offer a way forward for scholars of digital theology to better understand the content of online church discourse.
Concept-based pragmatics instruction
Authors: Kuepper Marie-Christin , Feryok Anne
Published: April 2020

This article presents parts of a replication study on the development of sociopragmatic capacity in beginner and intermediate university students' understanding of German singular address pronouns (du/Sie) through concept-based pragmatics instruction (CBPI). The CBPI intervention consisted of six group sessions with a pre-test - instruction - post-test design. While minor inter-level differences exist, all participants in the intervention exhibited enhanced sociopragmatic capacity. Participants demonstrated a shift from rule-of-thumb-based thinking to a focus on the meaning potential of utterances. By appropriating sociopragmatic concepts through CBPI, learners also gained an understanding of their own agency in the meaning design of address pronouns as well as the consequences of creating particular meanings.

Compreendendo a formação cultural como o processo pelo qual o indivíduo se conecta ao mundo da cultura por meio de atividades específicas, realizamos um estudo com alunos do CEJA Professora Lia Campos que participaram de uma atividade na disciplina de Física, a qual tinha por objetivo promover o diálogo entre Ciência e Arte, a partir da exibição do filme “Uma Viagem Extraordinária”. Sinalizamos que os dados da pesquisa revelaram um cenário que está em consonância com os estudos realizados na área. Vale salientar que, a maioria dos estudantes envolvidos na atividade elencaram que as reflexões sobre Ciência e Arte provocadas através do filme foram significativas.  Visando ter uma melhor compreensão da realidade dos alunos da EJA, foi aplicado um questionário seguido de uma entrevista. Os participantes foram questionados sobre como eles consideram o acesso a bens culturais, arte e literatura na região em que vivem. Com base na análise dos dados podemos perceber que a maioria julgou que os bens culturais são de fácil acesso, no entanto, afirmaram que não frequentam com regularidade esses espaços (museus, teatros, cinemas, planetários etc.). Portanto, é de fundamental importância a realização de atividades dessa natureza dentro do contexto de formação cultural do aluno da EJA, uma vez que, possibilita momentos que alfabetização científica do aluno cidadão/trabalhador.

The strategy of interaction between a transitive university and external actors in ensuring the reduction of migration risks
Authors: Boguslavsky Mikhail , Ladyzhets Nataliya , Neborsky Egor , Sannikova Olga
Published: April 2020

This article analyzes the issue of the strategy of interaction between a transitive university and external actors in ensuring a reduction in migration risks. Regional universities, resorting to cost reduction, often do not always can constructively construct a scientific and educational policy and internal university management. This leads to the fact that the regional university becomes a transit platform for subsequent educational and labor migration. What should be the strategy of interaction of a regional university with external actors to ensure the reduction of migration risks? Refusal of the policy of “closed doors” and structural self-identification, the result of which should be a conceptual idea as the fundamental methodological construct of the policy, are necessary conditions for ensuring the transition from the transit state of the university as a platform for educational and labor migration, to a transitive one, providing the conditions for the transition to new high-quality states as a result of resolving contradictions. Structural self-identification should be aimed at the subsequent formation of a strategic vision of oneself and instrumental ways of overcoming multi-level risks. The proactive interaction of a transitive university with external actors in ensuring the reduction of migration risks and the balanced development of the region’s human resources should include a set of priorities regarding the vital elements of the region’s ecosystem. There are areas relevant to reflecting the needs of the subjects and integratively interconnecting both the internal attitudes of the subject and the external conditions for their applicability in the region. This is a positive social infrastructure, a comfortable urban environment, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, technological solutions, communication channels with industries and organizations, open lectures and short-term courses. The strategy of accelerated development as an initiative interaction of a regional university with external entities, including a key idea, is the main condition for the transition to a transitive state as a source of development of the socio-economic ecosystem of the region.

One of the results from Plate Type Research Reactor Bandung (PTRRB) research program is PTRRB core design. Previous study on PTRRB has not calculated neutron flux distribution at its central irradiation position (CIP). Distribution of neutron flux at CIP is of high importance especially in radioisotope production. In this study, CIP was modeled as a stack of four to five aluminum tubes (AT), each filled by four aluminum irradiation capsules (AIC). Considering AIC dimension and geometry, there are three possibilities of AT configuration. For irradiation sample, 1.45 gr of molybdenum (Mo) was put into AIC. Neutron flux distribution at Mo sample was calculated using TRIGA MCNP and MCNP software. The calculation was simulated at condition when fresh fuel is loaded into reactor core. Analyses of excess reactivity show that, after installing irradiation AT and Mo sample was put into each configuration, the excess reactivity is less than 10.9 %. The highest calculated thermal neutron flux at Mo sample is 5.08×1013 n/cm2.s at configuration 1. Meanwhile, the highest total neutron flux at Mo sample is located at capsule no. II and III. Thermal neutron flux profile is the same for all configurations. This result will be used as a basic data for PTRRB utilization.Keywords: Central Irradiation Position, Neutron Flux Distribution, MCNP, PTRRB

Cancer is a malignant tumor that destroys healthy cells. Cancer treatment can be done by several methods, one of which is BNCT. BNCT uses 10B target which is injected into the human body, then it is irradiated with thermal or epithermal neutrons. Nuclear reaction will occur between boron and neutrons, producing alpha particle and lithium-7. The dose is estimated by how much boron and neutron should be given to the patient as a sum of number of boron, number of neutrons, number of protons, and number of gamma in the reaction of the boron and neutron. To calculate the dose, the authors simulated the reaction with Monte Carlo N Particle-X computer code. A water phantom was used to represent the human torso, as 75% of human body consists of water. Geometry designed in MCNPX is in cubic form containing water and a cancer cell with a radius of 2 cm. Neutron irradiation is simulated as originated from Kartini research reactor, modeled in cylindrical form to represent its aperture. The resulting total dose rate needed to destroy the cancer cell in GTV is 2.0814×1014 Gy.s (76,38%) with an irradiation time of 1,4414×10-13 s. In PTV the dose is 5.2295×1013 Gy.s (19,19%) with irradiation time of 5.7367×10-13 s. In CTV, required dose is 1.1866×1013 Gy.s (4,35%) with an irradiation time of 2.5283×10-12 s. In the water it is 1.9128×1011 Gy.s (0,07%) with an irradiation time of 1,5684×10-10 s. The irradiation time is extremely short since the modeling is based on water phantom instead of human body.Keywords: BNCT, Dose, Cancer, Water Phantom, MCNPX

Este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar o comportamento dos elementos climáticos em quintais residenciais com diferentes padrões de arborização, visando entender a influência que as árvores podem exercer no microclima urbano. Para isto, foram coletados dados de temperatura do ar e umidade relativa do ar em dois quintais residenciais do bairro Rincão, cidade de Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Os dados foram coletados em três dias do mês de novembro, período climático mais quente e seco do ano, e posteriormente foram submetidos ao cálculo do Índice de Calor (IC). Além da coleta de dados climáticos, também foram realizadas entrevistas com uma moradora de cada residência, a fim de compreender a percepção de conforto térmico dos moradores e correlacionar com os dados climáticos coletados em seus respectivos quintais. Ao analisar os dados climáticos coletados, verificou-se que o quintal sombreado R01 registrou menores temperaturas e maiores teores de umidade em relação ao quintal R02, cuja maior parte de sua área é exposta a radiação solar. Quanto ao IC, apesar do quintal R01 apresentar melhores valores em relação ao quintal R02, observou-se a necessidade de pesquisas posteriores que objetivem a criação de índices de conforto/desconforto térmico que sejam mais condizentes com o clima semiárido. Analisando as respostas das entrevistadas ficou nítido o quanto o calor pode afetar negativamente a rotina das pessoas até mesmo dentro de suas residências. Os resultados encontrados demonstram a relevância da arborização urbana para a regulação climática das cidades e, consequentemente, melhoria da qualidade de vida dos citadinos.

This study aims to obtain information about the misconception of high school students on ecosystem topic. The method that used in this research is descriptive method, and this research takes two schools in Bandung city as sample of the research. Selected schools are schools with high grade passes and low grade passes in Bandung. This study uses three-tier problem as a research instrument combined with CRI method that has been modified. In addition, teacher and student interviews were conducted to obtain information on learning activities that were thought to be factors of misconception. The result of research shows that student has misconception in all concepts that was tested to. In particular, the school with high passing grade has misconception in 12 concept from 27 conception tested.  The concept with the highest percentage of students is found in the concept of food webs in context the definition of food web. While the students in schools with low-grade passing experience misconceptions as many as 17 concepts with each context from the 27 concepts tested. The concept that has the highest percentage is concept about energy flow with the context of energy flow sequence. Based on the results of the interviews, it was found that learning was conducted by using lecture method and used the power-point presentation as the only media in learning. With this kind of learning, students with misconceptions are mostly bored with learning, and lose interest in caring for teachers. In addition, most students admitted that the students do not understand the explanation given by the teacher, so look for alternative sources of referral of learning such as textbooks, worksheets, and reference sources from the internet.
