Published: February 2020

Background and Objectives:

To develop electro-sensitive transdermal drug delivery systems (ETDDS) using
polyacrylamide-grafted-pectin (PAAm-g-PCT) copolymer hydrogel for rivastigmine delivery.

Methods:

Free radical polymerization and alkaline hydrolysis technique was employed to synthesize
PAAm-g-PCT copolymer hydrogel. The PAAm-g-PCT copolymeric hydrogel was used as a reservoir
and cross-linked blend films of PCT and poly(vinyl alcohol) as rate-controlling membranes (RCMs) to
prepare ETDDS.

Results:

The pH of the hydrogel reservoir was found to be in the range of 6.81 to 6.93 and drug content
was 89.05 to 96.29%. The thickness of RCMs was in the range of 51 to 99 μ and RCMs showed permeability
behavior against water vapors. There was a reduction in the water vapor transmission rate as
the glutaraldehyde (GA) concentration was increased. The drug permeation rate from the ETDDS was
enhanced under the influence of electric stimulus against the absence of an electric stimulus. The increase
in flux by 1.5 fold was recorded with applied electric stimulus. The reduction in drug permeability
observed when the concentration of GA was increased. Whereas, the permeability of the drug was
augmented as an electric current was changed from 2 to 8 mA. The pulsatile drug release under “on–
off” cycle of electric stimulus witnessed a faster drug release under ‘on’ condition and it was slow under
‘off’ condition. The alteration in skin composition after electrical stimulation was confirmed
through histopathology studies.

Conclusion:

The PAAm-g-PCT copolymer hydrogel is a useful carrier for transdermal drug delivery
activated by an electric signal to provide on-demand release of rivastigmine.

Authors: Pourjafar Mona , Malih Sara , Ranjbar Akram
Published: February 2020

Background::

In recent years, the applications of nanoparticles have received a great
attention due to their industrial and biomedical applications, while their beneficial effects suffer
from controversial results at clinical stages.

Objective::

In the current study, cytotoxicity of cerium oxide (CeNP) nanoparticles (100 nm) were
evaluated using mitochondria derived from wistar rat's liver.

Methods::

Isolated mitochondria from rat’s liver were divided into 7 groups including group 1 as
control and group 2 to 7 as treatment group with different doses of CeNP (5, 10, 50, 100, 250 and
500 mg/ml, respectively), for 24, 48 and 72 h. After exposure, oxidative stress biomarkers such as
total antioxidant capacity (TAC), lipid peroxidation (LPO), total thiol groups (TTG), catalase
activity (CAT) and mitochondrial viability, were determined in isolated rat liver mitochondria.

Results::

Results have shown that CeNPs increase TAC, TTG, CAT, LPO and viability of mitochondria
in various exposure times and confirm antioxidant properties of CeNPs in mithocondria
while mitochondria is a main source for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Conclusion::

CeNPs trigger a wide range of biological responses that vary from cytotoxic to cytoprotective.
Chatbot in Bahasa Indonesia using NLP to Provide Banking Information
Authors: Elcholiqi Abidah , Musdholifah Aina
Published: February 2020

FAQs are mostly provided on the company's website to inform their service and product. It's just that the FAQ is usually less interactive and presents too much information that is less practical. Chatbot can be used as an alternative in providing FAQ. In this study, chatbots were developed for BTPN in providing information about their products, namely Jenius. Chatbot developed utilizes natural language processing so that the system can understand user queries in the form of natural language. The cosine similarity algorithm is used to find similarities between queries and patterns in the knowledge base. Patterns with the highest cosine values are considered to be most similar to user queries. It's just that, this algorithm does not pay attention to the structure of the sentence so that it adds checking the structure of the sentence with the parse tree to give weight to the pattern. This chatbot application has been tested by 10 users and it was found that the suitability of the answers with user input was 84%. Therefore the chatbot developed can be used by BTPN to provide Jenius product information to consumers more interactively and practically.

Peran Sekolah dan Masyarakat dalam Pelaksanaan Program Bantuan Operasional Sekolah
Authors: Indahri Yulia
Published: February 2020

School Operational Grant (BOS) is a program that absorbs large enough funds and received directly by beneficiaries, schools. The BOS program began on July 2005 in order to accelerate 9-year compulsory education, reduce dropout rates, and assist students from poor families to continue schooling. However, there was also an indication that the government wanted to invite stakeholders, namely schools and the committee, to actively involve in the implementation of the program. Although the funds received by students through their school have not reached the ideal, at least the minimum service requirement can be met. This paper uses literature studies and field studies in three provinces in Indonesia, namely Aceh, West Kalimantan, and North Sulawesi for comparison. Literature studies among which are based on the study and research conducted on the BOS Program by third parties such as SMERU and the World Bank. While field studies were conducted in order to understand problems on the implementation of BOS Program especially on stakeholders’ participation. As conclusion, it is seen that the addition of budget allocations should continue to pay more attention to suggestions from provincial/district/city governments, as well as from the community. Community participation, especially when it comes to funding, should not be unsupervised. There must be certainty of transparency and accountability of the use of funds that are constantly being reported to the public and not of a coercive nature.Bantuan Operasional Sekolah (BOS) merupakan program yang menyerap dana cukup besar dan langsung diterima oleh penerima bantuan, yaitu sekolah. Program BOS mulai dilaksanakan pada Juli 2005 dalam rangka percepatan Wajib Belajar 9 Tahun, menekan angka putus sekolah, dan membantu siswa dari keluarga miskin untuk dapat terus sekolah. Akan tetapi, ada keinginan dari pemerintah agar pemangku kepentingan, yakni sekolah dan komite sekolah, mau terlibat aktif dalam pelaksanaan program. Walaupun dana yang diterima oleh siswa melalui sekolah belum mencapai angka ideal, paling tidak kebutuhan standar pelayanan minimal dapat terpenuhi. Tulisan ini menggunakan studi pustaka dan studi lapangan di tiga provinsi di Indonesia, yaitu Aceh, Kalimantan Barat, dan Sulawesi Utara untuk perbandingan. Studi pustaka di antaranya adalah kajian dan penelitian yang dilakukan mengenai Program BOS oleh lembaga penelitian SMERU dan juga Bank Dunia. Studi di lapangan dilakukan untuk melihat kendala yang ditemui di lapangan dalam pelaksanaan Program BOS terutama dalam kaitannya dengan peran serta pemangku kepentingan. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penambahan alokasi anggaran perlu terus mendengarkan masukan dari pemerintah provinsi/kabupaten/kota, dan juga dari masyarakat. Partisipasi masyarakat, terutama jika menyangkut pendanaan, tidak berarti tanpa pengawasan. Harus ada kepastian transparansi dan akuntabilitas dari pemanfaatan dana yang tetap dilaporkan ke masyarakat dan tidak bersifat memaksa.
Challenges of communicating science: perspectives from the Philippines
Authors: Navarro Kamila , McKinnon Merryn
Published: February 2020

Science communication research is dominated by Western countries. While their research provides insight into best practices, their findings cannot be generalized to developing countries. This study examined the science communication challenges encountered by scientists and science communicators from Manila, Philippines through an online survey and semi-structured, investigative interviews. Their answers revealed issues which have been echoed in other international studies. However, challenges of accessibility and local attitudes to science were magnified within the Philippine context. These results indicate the ubiquity of certain challenges in science communication and the need for country-specific science communication frameworks. Further research on the identified challenges is needed on a local and global scale.

Published: February 2020

Aiming determination of the variability of production traits (daily milk
yield and composition) and microclimate parameters (ambient temperature and
humidity) in the barns; as well as the correlation between the analyzed
groups of traits, 1,636,192 test-day records from Simmentals and 1,275,713
test-day records from Holsteins were analysed. Performed analysis indicate
high variability of production traits due to cow?s breed, parity as well as
breeding region. Also, high variability of microclimate parameters in the
barns due to season and breeding region was found. Furthermore,
statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) correlations between the
production traits and microclimate parameters were determined. Finally, the
negative effect of inadequate microclimate on daily milk production was
determined in both breeds in all breeding regions. Since genetic evaluation
and selection of dairy cattle for heat resistance is only long-term method
for heat stress managing, determined effect will be taken into account in
the statistical model for estimation of genetic parameters and breeding
values.
Conservation approach to the industrial heritage of Vojvodina
Authors: Draganic Anica
Published: February 2020

This article presents new research, which has the objective of defining
theoretical and methodological approaches to valorisation and conservation
of the industrial heritage. It studies the present condition of industrial
heritage in Vojvodina and the evolution of the conservation approach during
the period under study (1945- today) through legislation and the
documentation of the Institutes for Cultural Heritage Preservation. It
indicates the previous inadequate partial evaluation, which has resulted in
a loss of many important evidences of the industrial past. A mental schema,
based on the Nara document of authenticity, is set as a tool for an
interdisciplinary research and evaluation of industrial heritage
authenticity. The proposed evaluation method, tested on the example of the
brewery in Zrenjanin, results in a conservation project that offers a
potential framework for future conservation approach to the industrial
heritage of Vojvodina.
Electromagnetically induced transparency in a rectangular quantum dot on a single electron
Authors: Pavlovic Vladan , Laic Zeljko , Stevanovic Ljiljana , Filipovic Nikola
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we investigated the realization of electromagnetically induced
transparency (EIT) in a rectangular quantum dot (QD) with a single electron
in the presence of probe and control laser fields. The lowest three levels
of the confined electron that form ladder and V configuration were chosen.
We discussed the dependence of density matrix elements for ladder
configuration and for V configuration on detunings of the probe field for
various values of quantum dot dimensions. This dependence is discussed for
both cases, at cryogenic temperatures when spontaneous emission dominates
the relaxation mechanism and at room or higher temperatures when dephasing
rate cannot be neglected.
Maxwell’s demon and interactionism
Authors: Dimitrijevic Dejan
Published: February 2020

Maxwell's demon is an imaginary being invented a century and a half ago by
James Clarke Maxwell in order to illustrate the statistical nature of the
Second Law of thermodynamics. It helped us reach a better understanding not
only of that law but also of the relationship between statistical physics
and thermodynamics. Since the 1910?s it has caused a flood of papers of
scientists who have tried to save the Second Law from the threat of the
demon and hence preclude the possibility of perpetuum mobile of the second
kind. Nowadays, it helps us better understand the possibility of
constructing an interactionist model of mental causation manifested through
the violation of the Second Law by the mind.
Experimental investigation of the increasing thermal efficiency of an indirect water bath heater by use of thermosyphon heat pipe
Authors: Rastegar Saeed , Kargarsharifabad Hadi , Shafii Mohammad , Rahbar Nader
Published: February 2020

Natural gas must be preheated prior to pressure reduction in city gate stations. Indirect water bath heaters are employed in city gate stations for preheating, consume a considerable amount of natural gas for the process. This type of heater has a low efficiency therefore a significant amount of energy is wasted. Due to the high capacity of thermosyphon heat pipe, its utilization in city gate stations heater were investigated experimentally in this paper. For this purpose, a heater set-up was manufactured and its thermal efficiency was calculated. The thermosyphon heat pipe were then designed, manufactured, and utilized between the fire tube and the gas tube. Further the type of working fluid and the range of filling ratio were discussed and the most effective state was suggested. Moreover, the thermal efficiency of the heater in the presence of thermosyphon heat pipe was investigated. The obtained results showed that the thermal efficiency of the heater improved up to 13% with the addition of thermosyphon heat pipe. The most effective state of thermosyphon heat pipe was associated with the water as working fluid with 20% filling ratio in the front route and methanol as working fluid with 30% filling ratio in the back route of the fire tube.
Comparative study on steady and unsteady heat transfer analysis of a spherical element using air/water mist two-phase flow
Authors: Abed Akram , Shcheklein Sergey , Pakhaluev Valery
Published: February 2020

In this study, two approaches to investigating the process cooling of a heated sphere were performed using air as well as air/water mist two-phase flow. Steady-state and unsteady heat transfer analysis were compared in the terms of the aver-age surface temperature and heat transfer rate between the sphere surfaces and the cooling fluid. When the Bi < 0.1, the temperature variation inside sphere can be neglected and the wildly known lumped capacitance model can be applied to estimate the heat transfer coefficient by measuring the sphere surface temperature. The effect of the different factors such as the inlet Reynolds numbers, surface temperature and water mist rate on heat transfer characteristics are examined. The experimental results showed that the presence of water mist leads to a significant increase in heat transfer rate over the use of air coolant alone. Also, the un-steady thermal behaviors of the water mist impingement on the heated surface and dynamic-state of cooling process changing over the sphere surface were analyzed experimentally based on the unsteady surface temperature measurements. The experimental results of the unsteady heat transfer were compared to the results obtained from steady-state estimation under the corresponding surface temperature of the sphere. Moreover, the new proposed empirical correlation for the Nusselt number based on the present experimental data are given for practical uses. Results reasonably agree well within ?3.8%.
Analysis of entropy generation minimization in flow of Ree-Eyring nanofluid between two coaxially rotating disks
Authors: Khan Muhammad , Muhammad Riaz , Qayyum Sumaira , Khan Niaz , Jameel M.
Published: February 2020

Present communication addresses MHD radiative nanomaterial flow of Ree-Eying fluid between two coaxially rotating disks. Both disks are stretchable. Buongiorno model is used for nanofluids. Nanofluid aspects comprise random motion of particles (Brownian diffusion) and thermophoresis. The MHD fluid is considered. Furthermore, dissipation, radiative heat flux and Ohmic heating effects are considered to model the energy equation. Total entropy rate is calculated through implementation of Second thermodynamics law. Series solutions are developed through homotopy analysis method. Impacts of physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, entropy, and concentration fields are discussed graphically. Skin friction coefficient and heat and mass transfer rates are numerically calculated. It is noticed that the velocity of liquid particles decreases vs. higher estimations of magnetic parameter while it enhances via larger rotational parameter. Temperature field significantly increases in the presence of both Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis parameters.

Exergy analysis of a vapor-compression refrigeration system with TiO2 nanoadditives in the compressor oil was performed. Two-step method was used for the preparation of nanooil for various solid particle volume fractions between 0% and 1%. Irreversibilities were determined by using the Second law of thermodynamics. It is found that a reduction in total irreversibility is achieved with nano-particle inclusion and it was significant for higher particle volume fraction.
The Joint Effects of Supervisor Pay Transparency and Vertical Pay Dispersion on Reporting Honesty
Authors: Liu Xiaotao (Kelvin) , Tian Yu , Zhang Yue (May)
Published: February 2020

We experimentally investigate how supervisor pay transparency interacts with vertical pay dispersion to affect subordinates' reporting honesty in a budgeting setting. We find that the effect of supervisor pay transparency relative to pay secrecy becomes more negative as vertical pay dispersion becomes higher. Our findings suggest that while supervisor pay transparency complements an egalitarian pay structure by increasing reporting honesty, it does not fare along with high vertical pay dispersion as the combination of the two appears to decrease reporting honesty, even when such high dispersion can be justified. Further investigation suggests that our result is not driven by the feeling of unfairness toward high supervisor pay, but by a benchmarking effect (i.e., subordinates use supervisor pay as a pay standard and try to find ways to earn a similar amount).

Published: February 2020

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a widespread vision-threatening disease, and neuroretinal abnormality should be considered as an important problem. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has recently been considered as a possible treatment to prevent DR-induced neuroretinal damage, but how BDNF is upregulated in DR remains unclear. We found an increase in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the vitreous of patients with DR. We confirmed that human retinal endothelial cells secreted H2O2 by high glucose, and H2O2 reduced cell viability of MIO-M1, Müller glia cell line, PC12D, and the neuronal cell line and lowered BDNF expression in MIO-M1, whereas BDNF administration recovered PC12D cell viability. Streptozocin-induced diabetic rats showed reduced BDNF, which is mainly expressed in the Müller glia cell. Oral intake of eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA-E) ameliorated BDNF reduction and oscillatory potentials (OPs) in electroretinography (ERG) in DR. Mass spectrometry revealed an increase in several EPA metabolites in the eyes of EPA-E–fed rats. In particular, an EPA metabolite, 18-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (18-HEPE), induced BDNF upregulation in Müller glia cells and recovery of OPs in ERG. Our results indicated diabetes-induced oxidative stress attenuates neuroretinal function, but oral EPA-E intake prevents retinal neurodegeneration via BDNF in Müller glia cells by increasing 18-HEPE in the early stages of DR.

Intolerance of preservative-containing eye drops in a glaucoma patient: diagnostic and therapeutic challenges
Authors: Frolov M.A. , Kazakova K.A. , Dushina G.N. , Frolov A.M. , Gonchar P.A.
Published: February 2020

A patient presented to our clinic with stage Ia open-angle glaucoma of the right eye and stage IIa surgically corrected open-angle glaucoma of the left eye. The condition of the ocular surface was interpreted as toxic/allergic conjunctivitis provoked by brimonidine 0.15 %. Brimonidine was substituted with non-selective 0.5%; additionally, topical steroids were prescribed. After steroids were discontinued, some of the symptoms came back, including moderate hyperemia and conjunctival edema, which was interpreted as intolerance to a preservative contained in the eye drops. A decision was made to switch from the β-blocker to its preservative-free formulation; regular IOP monitoring was continued. IOP measured during the next visit was above tolerated, so a preservative-free form of the ocular hypotensive combination drug (an analog of prostaglandin 0.005% with non-selective β-blocker 0.5%) was introduced to the regimen, with further IOP monitoring. Because the initial diagnosis was wrong, damage to the ocular surface had been aggravated by inadequate therapy. Preservative-free hypotensive eye drops are beneficial for the corneal surface and have a positive effect on a patient’s adherence to the regimen.

Проведена замена бримонидина 0,15% на неселективный β-блокатор 0,5% и назначены стероиды местно. На фоне отмены стероидов было отмечено частичное возобновление симптомов в виде умеренно выраженных гиперемии и отека конъюнктивы, что было расценено уже как непереносимость консерванта. Было решено заменить β-блокатор на бесконсервантную форму под регулярным контролем уровня ВГД, дополнительно рекомендованы слезозаменители, не содержащие консервантов. При следующем визите отмечено повышение ВГД выше толерантного, назначена безконсервантная форма комбинированного гипотензивного средства (аналог простагландина 0,005% с неселективным β-блокатором 0,5%) под контролем уровня ВГД. Неправильная постановка диагноза вначале лечения усугубила состояние глазной поверхности. Применение препаратов без консерванта благоприятно влияет на поверхность роговицы и повышает комплаентность пациентов.

Authors: Hussein Safaa N.
Published: February 2020

Fusarium vascular wilt disease is one of the most harmful disease that affected broad range of plant species including zucchini (Cucurbita pepo). The objective of the research was to investigate the presence of the phytopathogenic gungus Fusarium oxysporum the causal agent of the disease in zucchini fields. Forty five isolates of F. oxysporum were isolated from four locations in province of Dyala during 2014-2015. Isolate Foq9 was most virulent in the pathogenicity test in vitro. Twenty nine isolates of them amplified their DNA positively with the universal primer of F. oxysporum in the polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR). In vitro significant suppression efficiency were observed of the fungicides Topsin M 70 WP (Tm) and Tecto 500 SC (Tc) and two botanical extract solution extracted from Garlic (Gr) and Ginger (Gn) against the pathogen on the potato sucrose agar (PSA). In greenhouse experiments all of the agents decreased the percentage of disease incidence and severity significantly, while the tetra-inoculum (Tm+Tc+Gr+Gn) was superior which exhibited 0% disease incidence and severity compared to the negative control which was 95%, 79% respectively, also the combined application of the botanical extracts (Gr+Gn) reduced the disease incidence and severity significantly. All of the treatment increased plant growth criteria represented by dry weight of the plant compared to the control.

Published: February 2020

Penulisan tesis ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberdayaan zakat terhadap pengembangan ekonomi umat di Kota Kendari, yang diawali dengan upaya mengetahui bagaimana peranan zakat bagi pengembangan ekonomi umat di Kota Kendari, langkah strategis yang harus ditempuh dalam pemberdayaan zakat, kemudian diakhiri pembahasannya dengan mengupas pengaruh pemberdayaan zakat terhadap pengembangan ekonomi umat di Kota Kendari.Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan lembaga pengelola zakat (BAZDA) dan kinerjanya belum menunjukkan adanya hasil sebagaimana yang diharapkan dalam upaya menumbuhkan ekonomi umat, meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan mengentaskan kemiskinan di Kota Kendari. Hal ini disebabkan oleh karena faktor lembaga pengelola zakat itu sendiri (BAZDA) yang belum optimal dalam menggali dan merealisasikan potensi zakat.  Program-program yang dilaksanakan selama ini masih pada tataran sosialisasi dan upaya menumbuhkan kesadaran umat Islam dalam membayar zakat, belum menyentuh pada pola pemberdayaan yang dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan mengangkat taraf hidup kaum du’afa. Namun demikian masyarakat tetap yakin dan optimis, bahwa jika potensi zakat di Kota Kendari mampu direalisasikan dan dikelola oleh lembaga pengelola yang amanah, profesional dan bertanggung jawab, niscaya akan dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan umat, mengentaskan kemiskinan dan dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan ekonomi umat di Kota Kendari.
Dana Talangan Haji; Problem atau Solusi Jitu? (Studi Evaluasi Kebijakan Penyelenggaraan Ibadah Haji)
Authors: Farid Rifaat
Published: February 2020

Dana Talangan Haji merupakan merupakan pembiayaan dalam bentuk konsumtif yang ditujukan kepada nasabah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan biaya setoran awal Biaya Penyelenggaraan Ibadah haji (BPIH) yang ditentukan oleh Kemenag RI melalui Sistem Komputerisasi Haji Terpadu (SISKOHAT), untuk mendapatkan nomor seat porsi haji dengan menggunakan akad Qard dan Ijarah. Dasar Pemerintah mengeluarkan produk pembiayaan Dana Talangan Haji ini adalah bersdasarkan pada fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional (DSN) MUI   No.29/DSN-MUI/VI/2002   tanggal 26 Juni 2002 tentang Pembiayaan Pengurusan Haji oleh LKS (Lembaga Keuangan Syariah). Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa metode garbage can yang digunakan pun hanya menyelesaikan berbagai persoalan yang berada di permukaan, tidak menyelesaikan berbagai masalah yang lebih kompleks lainnya. Diantaranya adalah masalah animo haji yang semakin meningkat setiap tahunnya tidak dibarengi dengan perbaikan fasilitas penunjang haji; pemondokan, katering, pengurusan paspor maupun visa yang seringkali terhambat oleh buruknya birokrasi, pemisahan operator maupun regulator dalam pelaksaan haji dan semacamnya. Secara keseluruhan proses penyelenggaran ibadah haji dari tahun ke tahun semakin menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan
Kynlífsvirkni unglinga og samskipti þeirra við foreldra

Published: February 2020

Íslensk ungmenni byrja að stunda kynlíf að jafnaði fyrr en flest önnur evrópsk ungmenni. Unglingar sem byrja snemma að hafa samfarir eru í aukinni hættu á að upplifa neikvæðar afleiðingar kynlífs, svo sem þvingun, smitsjúkdóma og ótímabærar þunganir. Miklu skiptir að foreldrar leggi sig fram um að skapa traust til að ungmenni geti leitað til þeirra og rætt vangaveltur sínar og áhyggjur. Markmið þessarar rannsóknar er að varpa ljósi á tengsl milli kynlífsvirkni íslenskra unglinga og þess hversu auðvelt þeim finnst að tala við foreldrana um áhyggjur sínar. Einnig er skoðað hvort tengsl séu milli kyn foreldris og kyns unglings og ofangreindra þátta. Niðurstöður byggjast á alþjóðlegu rannsókninni Heilsa og lífskjör skólabarna (HBSC) sem lögð var fyrir íslenska unglinga í febrúar 2014. Þátttakendur voru 3.618 nemendur úr 10. bekk sem mættir voru í skólann þann dag sem könnunin var lögð fyrir. Niðurstöður sýna að um fjórðungur svarenda hefur haft samfarir, 24,4% pilta og 23,0% stúlkna. Þá sýna gögnin að unglingar sem eiga erfitt með að tala við foreldra sína um það sem veldur þeim áhyggjum eru líklegri til þess að hafa byrjað snemma að hafa samfarir en jafnaldrar þeirra. Bæði kyn virðast vera í lakari samskiptum við feður sína en mæður og stúlkur meta þau verri en strákar. Mest áhrif á kynlífsvirkni sjást meðal þeirra unglinga sem meta samskipti sín við feður mjög erfið, þar sem þeir sem hafa haft samfarir eru um það bil tvöfalt líklegri til að meta samskiptin með þeim hætti en þeir sem aldrei hafa stundað kynlíf. Rannsóknin sýnir að ákveðinn hópur unglinga í 10. bekk sem er byrjaður að stunda kynlíf telur sig eiga erfitt með að ræða við foreldra sína. Niðurstöður gefa tilefni til þess að kannað sé hvernig veita megi þeim hópi betri stuðning

Authors: Sari Lisna Sulinar
Published: February 2020

Abstrak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa mekanisme pengadaan buku teks pelajaran kurikulum 2013 dan kendalanya di Kabupaten Natuna. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Temuan dari penelitian ini, yaitu Pengadaan buku teks pelajaran kurikulum 2013 di Kabupaten Natuna menggunakan dua mekanisme, yaitu e-katalog dan BSE. Kedua mekanisme tersebut menyulitkan sekolah-sekolah yang ada di Kabupaten Natuna, karena banyak penyedia/penerbit yang tidak bersedia mengirim disebabkan biaya pengiriman yang cukup mahal. Sementara di Kabupaten Natuna tidak ada penyedia/penerbit buku dan tidak semua sekolah memiliki jaringan internet. Ada dua distributor buku teks di Kabupaten Natuna, jika membeli buku teks di distributor tersebut, harga buku teks yang ditawarkan oleh distributor melebihi harga eceran tertinggi yang sudah ditetapkan berdasarkan zona dan pengiriman buku teksnya tidak tepat waktu. Sehingga proses pembelajaran untuk semester 1 tetap tidak menggunakan buku teks pelajaran kurikulum 2013 karena pengiriman yang terlambat.Kata kunci: mekanisme, pengadaan, buku teks.Â

Resultados: la colecta de frutos maduros procedentes del municipio de Izúcar de Matamoros fue la que presentó mayor promedio con 30.94 gramos; el diámetro polar y ecuatorial del fruto con 38.4 y 40.6 mm, seguido de la colecta Chinantla, con un promedio de 27.5 gramos. Presentó un diámetro polar y ecuatorial de 33.5 y 36.6 mm, características importantes para la reproducción y comercialización. Limitaciones: las colectas pueden ser propagadas para su producción o evaluación de otras características agronómicas sobresalientes, destacando su variabilidad del fruto. Conclusiones: sobresalió la colecta de Izúcar de Matamoros por su peso, diámetro polar y ecuatorial del fruto, así como también en el número de semillas por fruto.
