Inference of Gene Flow in the Process of Speciation: An Efficient Maximum-Likelihood Method for the Isolation-with-Initial-Migration Model
Authors: Costa Rui J , Wilkinson-Herbots Hilde
Published: February 2017

The isolation-with-migration (IM) model is commonly used to make inferences about gene flow during speciation, using polymorphism data. However, it has been reported that the parameter estimates obtained by fitting the IM model are very sensitive to the model’s assumptions—including the assumption of constant gene flow until the present. This article is concerned with the isolation-with-initial-migration (IIM) model, which drops precisely this assumption. In the IIM model, one ancestral population divides into two descendant subpopulations, between which there is an initial period of gene flow and a subsequent period of isolation. We derive a very fast method of fitting an extended version of the IIM model, which also allows for asymmetric gene flow and unequal population sizes. This is a maximum-likelihood method, applicable to data on the number of segregating sites between pairs of DNA sequences from a large number of independent loci. In addition to obtaining parameter estimates, our method can also be used, by means of likelihood-ratio tests, to distinguish between alternative models representing the following divergence scenarios: (a) divergence with potentially asymmetric gene flow until the present, (b) divergence with potentially asymmetric gene flow until some point in the past and in isolation since then, and (c) divergence in complete isolation. We illustrate the procedure on pairs of Drosophila sequences from ∼30,000 loci. The computing time needed to fit the most complex version of the model to this data set is only a couple of minutes. The R code to fit the IIM model can be found in the supplementary files of this article.

Butterfly wing patterns are a model system for studying the evolution and development of adaptive traits. Zhang et al. combine RNA-seq and CRISPR/Cas9...

Despite the variety, prominence, and adaptive significance of butterfly wing patterns, surprisingly little is known about the genetic basis of wing color diversity. Even though there is intense interest in wing pattern evolution and development, the technical challenge of genetically manipulating butterflies has slowed efforts to functionally characterize color pattern development genes. To identify candidate wing pigmentation genes, we used RNA sequencing to characterize transcription across multiple stages of butterfly wing development, and between different color pattern elements, in the painted lady butterfly Vanessa cardui. This allowed us to pinpoint genes specifically associated with red and black pigment patterns. To test the functions of a subset of genes associated with presumptive melanin pigmentation, we used clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 genome editing in four different butterfly genera. pale, Ddc, and yellow knockouts displayed reduction of melanin pigmentation, consistent with previous findings in other insects. Interestingly, however, yellow-d, ebony, and black knockouts revealed that these genes have localized effects on tuning the color of red, brown, and ochre pattern elements. These results point to previously undescribed mechanisms for modulating the color of specific wing pattern elements in butterflies, and provide an expanded portrait of the insect melanin pathway.
Sequential, Divergent, and Cooperative Requirements ofFoxl2aandFoxl2bin Ovary Development and Maintenance of Zebrafish
Authors: Yang Yan-Jing , Wang Yang , Li Zhi , Zhou Li , Gui Jian-Fang
Published: February 2017

Foxl2 is essential for mammalian ovary maintenance. Although sexually dimorphic expression of foxl2 was observed in many teleosts, its role and regulative mechanism in fish remained largely unclear. In this study, we first identified two transcript variants of foxl2a and its homologous gene foxl2b in zebrafish, and revealed their specific expression in follicular layer cells in a sequential and divergent fashion during ovary differentiation, maturation, and maintenance. Then, homozygous foxl2a mutants (foxl2a−/−) and foxl2b mutants (foxl2b−/−) were constructed and detailed comparisons, such as sex ratio, gonadal histological structure, transcriptome profiling, and dynamic expression of gonadal development-related genes, were carried out. Initial ovarian differentiation and oocyte development occur normally both in foxl2a−/− and foxl2b−/− mutants, but foxl2a and foxl2b disruptions result in premature ovarian failure and partial sex reversal, respectively, in adult females. In foxl2a−/− female mutants, sox9a-amh/cyp19a1a signaling was upregulated at 150 days postfertilization (dpf) and subsequently oocyte apoptosis was triggered after 180 dpf. In contrast, dmrt1 expression was greater at 105 dpf and increased several 100-fold in foxl2b−/− mutated ovaries at 270 dpf, along with other testis-related genes. Finally, homozygous foxl2a−/−/foxl2b−/− double mutants were constructed in which complete sex reversal occurs early and testis-differentiation genes robustly increase at 60 dpf. Given mutual compensation between foxl2a and foxl2b in foxl2b−/− and foxl2a−/− mutants, we proposed a model in which foxl2a and foxl2b cooperate to regulate zebrafish ovary development and maintenance, with foxl2b potentially having a dominant role in preventing the ovary from differentiating as testis, as compared to foxl2a.

Os 26 anos do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e os desafios da democracia brasileira
Authors: Rodrigues Ellen Cristina Carmo
Published: February 2017

Passados 26 anos da edição do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA, Lei 8069/1990) observa-se que a realidade brasileira está bem distante do modelo proposto pela referida lei. Ao contrário das propostas isonômicas previstas no ECA, muitas crianças e adolescentes brasileiros não têm acesso aos seus direitos e têm suas trajetórias marcadas pela violência e arbitrariedade das diferentes agências penais. Todavia, é em relação a esse grupo que são direcionados acalorados debates acerca do recrudescimento punitivo. Atentando-se a essa realidade, este trabalho apresenta propostas para uma análise crítica do tema, devidamente comprometida com a contenção do poder punitivo arbitrário.

Published: February 2017

A maioria dos aparatos experimentais para o estudo de ondas de som estacionárias é composto por um tubo onde há um êmbolo com um microfone para captação do sinal e um alto-falante como fonte excitadora. Este mesmo êmbolo define o tamanho útil do tubo de forma manual. A interpretação correta dos fenômenos físicos relacionados a este experimento está intimamente conectada com a configuração experimental, podendo causar má interpretação. O sistema usual foi adaptado para ser automatizado e para que permitisse a movimentação do êmbolo e do microfone de forma independente. Os resultados obtidos na configuração de tubo semiaberto e fechado estão em acordo com a teoria e mostraram quais parâmetros afetavam de forma mais significativa os experimentos em relação à montagem tradicional, como a falta de vedação entre o alto-falante e o tubo e o perfil do sinal que não corresponde ao de uma onda estacionária quando o microfone está fixo ao êmbolo. Além de permitir uma correta interpretação do fenômeno, a utilização de um sistema automatizado para aquisição do sinal permitiu a observação de resultados experimentais que normalmente não são discutidos quando este tipo de experimento é realizado.
Asset management: making the ‘unreasonable’ reasonable?
Authors: Dixon Mike
Published: February 2017

Asset management (AM) discussions frequently come around to how to prepare compelling investment cases to top management in a language that they understand. The objective of this paper is to propose a way in which the AM concept itself may be made more compelling to top management and leadership. One way to look at AM and ISO 55000:2014 is that they describe how make to progress in a ‘reasonable’ way in today’s constrained and crowded world by taking a holistic view of the situation and identifying and then treating the full range of related issues. A useful way to ‘sell’ the concept and value of AM to the leaders of today (and, perhaps more importantly, the leaders of tomorrow) could be to create compelling stories that interpret iconic achievements and events in AM terms. Examples are used to illustrate the key learning points.
Reduction of scour using a combination of riprap and bed sill
Authors: Hamidifar Hossein , Omid Mohammad Hossein , Nasrabadi Mohsen
Published: February 2017

Providing the most effective solution for protection of the bed downstream of hydraulic structures constitutes an important field of research. In addition, for safe and cost-effective designs, it is important to be able to predict the maximum scour depth downstream of hydraulic structures. The study reported in this paper examined the effectiveness of two types of countermeasures – a bed sill and riprap – to reduce the maximum scour depth adjacent to horizontal rigid aprons. For tests with the bed sill located downstream of the apron, two distinct scour holes were formed upstream and downstream of the sill, with respective maximum scour depths of ds1and ds2. The results show that a bed sill can reduce ds1and ds2by up to 23% and 47%, respectively, compared with the maximum scour depth for the no-sill condition. However, when the erodible bed between the apron and the bed sill was replaced by riprap, ds1and ds2decreased by up to 53% and 90% respectively. Variations of the other characteristic scour hole lengths, including the maximum extension of the scour hole and the maximum height of the mound, were also studied and an attempt was made to examine any geometrical similarities in the scour hole profiles under different conditions.
The NLRP3 Inflammasome Has a Critical Role in Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis

Published: February 2017

Bacterial peritonitis remains the main cause of technique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD). During peritonitis, the peritoneal membrane undergoes structural and functional alterations that are mediated by IL-1β. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a caspase-1–activating multiprotein complex that links sensing of microbial and stress products to activation of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β. The potential roles of the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β in the peritoneal membrane during acute peritonitis have not been investigated. Here, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated during acute bacterial peritonitis in patients on PD, and this activation associates with the release of IL-1β in the dialysate. In mice, lipopolysaccharide- or Escherichia coli-induced peritonitis led to IL-1β release in the peritoneal membrane. The genetic deletion of Nalp3, which encodes NLRP3, abrogated defects in solute transport during acute peritonitis and restored ultrafiltration. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, IL-1β treatment directly enhanced endothelial cell proliferation and increased microvascular permeability. These in vitro effects require endothelial IL-1 receptors, shown by immunofluorescence to be expressed in peritoneal capillaries in mice. Furthermore, administration of the IL-1β receptor antagonist, anakinra, efficiently decreased nitric oxide production and vascular proliferation and restored peritoneal function in mouse models of peritonitis, even in mice treated with standard-of-care antibiotherapy. These data demonstrate that NLRP3 activation and IL-1β release have a critical role in solute transport defects and tissue remodeling during PD-related peritonitis. Blockade of the NLRP3/IL-1β axis offers a novel method for rescuing morphologic alterations and transport defects during acute peritonitis.

AbstrakEra lama Pustakawan akan segera berakhir. Pustakawan berparadigma baru sudah saatnya menghidup-cerahkan Undang-undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 43 Tahun 2007 tentang Perpustakaan. Selama tiga puluh tahun profesi Pustakawan berkiprah, citra melekat yang kurang pas harus bergeser ke arah yang sebenarnya, yaitu pencerahan citra di satu sisi dan pengakuan masyarakat luas di sisi lainnya. Di Negara-negara maju, perpustakaan menjadi satu-satunya cerminan “kelas” sebuah lembaga pendidikan. Di Indonesia, jargon “jantungnya pendidikan” menjadi populer secara terabaikan: jantung yang sakit dan dibiarkan tetap berdenyut seadanya. Era tahun 1980-1990 menandai suramnya Pustakawan dengan citranya yang terpinggirkan. Citra yang berbanding terbalik dengan keadaan dimana Pustakawan adalah bagian elit politik dan berkedudukan sangat strategis sebagai sosok kepercayaan para penguasa pemerintahan. Profesi yang dilabelkan sebagai A Feminine Profession di sebuah Negara adidaya karena 83% Pustakawannya adalah wanita, perlu memanfaatkan peluang untuk justru menampilkan sisi cerdas seorang berprofesi Pustakawan tanpa harus mengusung citra wanita secara universal. Momen penting ini akan berupa semakin banyaknya jumlah Pustakawan di Indonesia karena mulai tahun 2013 seluruh sekolah dari tingkat SD sampai SMA/K harus memiliki perpustakaan yang dikelola dan ditangani Pustakawan murni – seseorang berpendidikan ilmu perpustakaan dan tuntas-fokus didalam pekerjaan profesinya. Seperti Dokter, Guru, dan Dosen, para Pustakawan ini akan bersertifikasi untuk apa yang sepatutnya dilabelkan yaitu berkiprah secara kompeten dan professional seutuhnya. Saatnya sudah tiba untuk para professional yang pernah terpinggirkan ini untuk menunjukkan gregetnya atau “taringnya”.

Scientific aspects such as social, cultural, health, education, psychology, the environment, law, anthropology, and art, was often associated with poverty. Nevertheless, the notion of poor and rural poverty is, in general, is still viewed by researcher's perspective, rather than emic, ie see something from the perspective of the participant. This study took part of the effort to comprehensively understand the meaning of poor and poverty in the eyes of the poor, especially in rural areas, roomates point is on how to map view of rural poor people in hopes of interpreting experience of livelihood as poor in underlying survival living. By using a qualitative study approach, especially the tradition of phenomenology of Schutz, obtained a description of the results, that the meaning of poor and poverty, in phenomenology, containing context, such as: context ownership; contexts effort and trial and error; contexts powerlessness; contexts outside assistance; independence in the context of compulsion; contexts unattainable expectations; context of the struggle; context of limited access to information; contexts low curiosity; contexts simplicity needs; problems humiliation context; and context sensitivity in social communication.Keywords: Meaning poor, Poverty, Rural AbstrakKemiskinan di pedesaan dapat dipahami sebagai suatu kondisi sosial seseorang, atau sekelompok orang yang terkait dengan aspek-aspek ekonomi dan non-ekonomi.

Bright learners by way of efforts made in terms of an ever enhanced curriculum should have been developing to sophisticated personalities and geared towards humans with qualities. What has gone in practice proves to be swerving to some extent in that some sort of comprehensive model of running library services is due needed: a standing structure built in the middle of the scholl; collections including books, non-books, digital; and truly Librarian (i.e. main manager of the intellectual asset). Any most interesting activities possible need to be created to make library an area of “play” being the goal of a means to accelerating a reading habit especially among children in their early age. The librarian’s new paradigm should manage to penetrate the academic area of teachers in order that their collaboration with the teaching staff gives the chance to the library’s functioning in an optimal way.Keywords: School library, school library design, school library activities ABSTRAKPerpaduan rancang-gagas pakar, dignitary kepustakawanan, dan decision makers pada tataran Pemerintah seharusnya telah mewujudkan perpustakaan sebagai fasilitas proses belajar-mengajar yang mumpuni.

Análisis del diálogo intercultural a partir del modelo pedagógico
Authors: Ortiz Rodríguez Teresa Tonantzin
Published: February 2017

Desde finales del siglo pasado hasta lo que va del siglo XXI, la diversidad cultural ha sido admitida como una riqueza para el desenvolvimiento de la sociedad; sin embargo, los modelos de desarrollo, sus políticas educativas para concretarlos y sus modelos pedagógicos poco reflejan en los hechos la contundencia de la diversidad cultural como detonador de procesos de desarrollo en equidad, para eliminar posiciones racistas, discriminatorias y de explotación de grupos hegemónicos a grupos subordinados. El movimiento indígena en México originado desde los primeros años de la colonia española persistente hasta la actualidad, ha abierto espacios ante la hegemonía nacional como lo son: las escuelas públicas de nivel básico, medio superior y superior. En donde lo indígena y los indígenas han dejado de ser los beneficiaros de políticas educativas integracionistas conducentes a eliminar paulatinamente su cultura para ser parte de la cultura nacional; ahora son vistos como agentes activos para la toma de decisiones en su propio proceso educativo, para ello, se ha propuesto el llamado modelo pedagógico intercultural, este artículo debate sobre cómo se ha llevado a cabo dicho modelo en un contexto de nivel medio superior, es decir, en la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Puebla.

Characterization of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of multidrug resistant Gram negative bacterial wound infections and their clinical epidemiology from a tertiary care hospital in Karnataka, India
Authors: Gopinathan Anusha , Mukhopadhyay Chiranjay , K. E. Vandana
Published: February 2017

Background: Extended spectrum beta lactamases, AmpC and Metallo-betalactamases in GNB isolates are a common occurrence in most Indian hospitals. The presence of these antimicrobial resistance mechanisms contributes to prolonged hospital stay, poor quality of life, increased morbidity and mortality among patients with these infections. The aim of the study was to analyse the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of multidrug resistant Gram negative bacterial wound infection and their clinical epidemiology.Methods: A prospective study was conducted for one year among 100 patients of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal admitted with MDR GNB wound infections. The antibiogram and phenotypic resistance mechanisms of the bacterial isolate from these infections were identified using phenyl boronic acid and ethyl diacetate.  The empirical therapy, specific therapy and clinical outcome of the patients were also analyzed.Results: Out of 100 study patients, 152 MDR GNB isolates were obtained.  73% patients were admitted in the surgical wards. 43% patients had diabetes. Ulcers (27%) and abscess (25%) were the most common diagnosis. Escherichia coli (39%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (24%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19%) were the most common isolates. Maximum number of ESBL was seen among Enteric Gram negative bacilli (36%), MBL was seen among Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species (55% each), AmpC was seen among enteric GNB (10%) and Acinetobacter species (18%). Cefaperazone sulbactam, amikacin and meropenem were the most common antibiotics given as specific therapy. Clinical response was observed among 93% patients.Conclusions: The determination of the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of GNB isolates from wound infections plays a major role in establishing an antibiotic policy for the treatment of these infections.

Published: February 2017

Background: Early and correct treatment is essential for successful outcome in patients of tuberculous men-ingitis. Adenosine deaminase activity in the cerebrospinal fluid has been found to be a simple and useful investigation in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in children.Methods: It is a cross sectional observational hospital based study conducted at the Department of Paediatrics, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad, India. Children aged 2 months to 12 years were included in the study during April 2016 to October 2016.Results: The mean value of adenosine deaminase activity in the cerebrospinal fluid of tuberculous meningitis cases was 13.3±14.49. The mean cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase levels in tuberculous meningitis patients was significantly higher than non-tuberculous meningitis patients with P <0.01.Conclusions: The mean cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase level was significantly raised in tuberculous meningitis patients.
Neck circumference measurement as a screening tool for obesity in children

Published: February 2017

Background: Childhood obesity is a rising epidemic and a major public health problem with the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disorders in later life. Neck circumference (NC), a marker of upper body subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution can predict higher metabolic risk. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between neck circumference (NC) and obesity.Methods: This cross-sectional prospective observational study was conducted in Bangalore in the month of October 2016. 172 male and 161 female students, aged 13-17 years were screened. Anthropometric markers of obesity measured included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and compared with neck circumference (NC) of the same subjects. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated between neck circumference and other obesity indices, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the best cutoff value of neck circumference in predicting high BMI. Results: Overall, 13.2% boys and 9.9% girls were found overweight/obese. The mean BMI was 25.27±2.09kg/m2 and25.17±2.23kg/m2, mean neck circumference was 33.43±2.3cm and 31.50±1.4 in overweight/obese boys and girl respectively. All of the anthropometric parameters were found to be significantly higher in overweight/obese children than with their normal weight peers and higher in boys compared to girls. The neck circumference in boys was significantly greater than girls and higher in overweight/obese with P<0.001. The best cut-off value of neck circumference by ROC to identify boys with a high BMI was 32cm with sensitivity of (81.82%), specificity (89.06%), and for girls was 30cm with sensitivity of (84.85%), specificity (87.5%). Neck circumference had a strong positive correlation with other anthropometric measures BMI, WC, waist hip ratio in both boys and girls (p <0.001).Conclusions: Neck circumference significantly correlated with other indices of obesity. It can be used with great reliability to screen overweight and obesity in children. NC can be considered as a simple, time saving and inexpensive clinical tool for detection of obesity in large population-based studies in children and adolescents.
Using AHP Approach, Evaluation of Quality: A Case Study with Respect to a Washing Machine Company
Authors: Sonawane Salonee H.
Published: February 2017

Supplier evaluation is performed by companies to continuously improve quality, to mitigate risks, to reduce costs or to improve performance. Thus, it forms an important and integral function that a company carries out to remain competitive in a given market. This paper attempts to propose a model that can assist a washing machine company to evaluate the quality aspect of its suppliers.

This model is based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach, which follows the principle of the Linear Weighing Model. This paper is an attempt to give a variation of the traditional and a very common method that is widely used in many companies to evaluate the quality aspect – the quality history which is either about the percentage or parts per million of non-conformance components supplied.

So, this paper suggests that along with the past quality history other parameters can also largely help in supplier evaluation and so this work has tried to identify the important criteria that may enable the company to not just evaluate the suppliers’ performance, but also to concentrate in those areas where improvements may be required.

It also tries to exhibit how a multi-criteria decision-making method can ease the work of a Vendor Management or a Quality Department in evaluating the quality aspect of their suppliers.
Mystery Shopping: A Marvelous Tool in the Hands of Organized Retailers
Authors: Anand Shruti
Published: February 2017

Customer engagement is a key to the success of organized retail. Now-a-days, retailers engage their customers by luring them with various facilities. It is through customer engagement that they are able to provide a long lasting experience to customers. This provides a competitive advantage and becomes the ultimate reason for customer attraction. It is the in-store experience of customer that adds on to the frequency of their visit. Experience though once gained has a long effect, but it needs to be replicated to give an everlasting effect. Feedback received from customer is not only a prime source of information but also an effective tool to manage customer relation in a manner where it would fulfill expectations of customer and organization as well. Often the large size of operation becomes a challenge for the organized retailer in maintaining close relationship with each customer. Notwithstanding various technological involvements in the working environment of retailers, they still lag behind in getting feedback of customer experience in the store. Feedback given to them is generally in a hurry or mostly vague. Absence of feedback is slowly and gradually creating a lacuna between organized retailers and customers. The concept of mystery shopping has evolved in order to cope with this challenge. This paper is conceptual in nature and hovers around mystery shopping. The objective is to explain in detail its relevance and significance for organized retailers. Application of mystery shopping might prove to be a significant tool in the hands of organized retailers as it provides first-hand information which helps to bridge the communication gap between the organized retailer and customer.

An observational prospective study was performed on 240 patients, presenting with non traumatic acute abdomen, using USG (WIPRO P3 and GE Voluson 730 Pro) and MDCT (Siemens somatom emotion 16) . Pre-designed proforma were used to collect all the relevant information which included patient data, clinical finding, provisional clinical diagnosis, laboratory reports, USG and MDCT findings and final diagnosis following surgery/histopathologically or biochemically. The diagnosis made by USG and MDCT were compared with final diagnosis and their sensitivities in diagnosing different causes of non traumatic acute abdomen were calculated and compared with each other. MDCT proved to be a superior modality in terms of sensitivity for all patients of acute abdomen except in cases of hepatobiliary& gynaecological pathologies. In gynaecological pathologies there was not much statistical difference between sensitivities of USG and MDCT and for hepatobiliary causes USG proved to be a superior modality.
School Violent Victimization Among Youth: Is There an Association With Perceived School Safety?

Published: February 2017

Violent victimization and school safety continues to be a major health concern in the United States. This study examines whether there is an association between school violent victimization and perceived school safety among youth. The PRIDE Questionnaire for 6th-through 12th-grade students, which assesses violent victimization and perceived school safety, was completed voluntarily by students (N = 54,938) in a large Midwestern city. Results indicated that a sizeable percentage of youth felt unsafe at school. Perceived school safety differed based on gender, grade, and race. Students experiencing violent victimization reported lower levels of school safety than their counterparts did. Such findings have important implications for school health professionals and prevention specialists interested in protecting youth from violent victimization and enhancing student safety at school.

Abstrak—Uji laboratorium tentang kualitas air baku pada penyediaan dan pengolahan air bersih memperhatikan parameter air terkait faktor fisika, kimia dan biologi. Analisis kualitas air di laboratorium membutuhkan waktu. Usulan sistem akan mempercepat waktu dengan menganalisis catatan dataparameter air yang ada dalam rekam data PDAM. Aturan asosiasi pada sistem digunakan untuk melihat hubungan antara parameter air yang didahului praproses dengan mengubah data numerik ke data kategorikal berdasarkan standar STOrage and RETrievalData Warehouse (STORET).Selanjutnya model prediksi parameter air yang dihasilkan dari data belajar akan diserderhanakan terlebih dahulu sebelum validasi model dengan data uji. Pengujian model menggunakan data belajar menunjukkan rata-rata akurasi 70% dengan minimal support-confidence 30% data. Hasil model hubungan parameter air menggunakan rekam data PDAM dapat menjadi pendukung kebijakan di daerah tersebut dalam penyediaan dan pengolahan air bersih sebelum dilakukan uji kualitas laboratorium. Tanpa ada uji laboratorium beberapa nilai parameter faktor kimia tidak dapat diketahui. Meskipun demikian aturan yang dihasilkan sistem usulan tanpa uji laboratorium dapat memberikan akurasi 80%-95% dengan asumsi missing valuesnilai faktor kimiasetelah dicek manual dari narasumber pemilik data. Data uji coba menggunakan dataset kecil untuk mempermudah cek manual. Kata Kunci— prediksi kualitas air, aturan asosiasi, storetAbstrak—Raw Water (Air Baku) laboratory analysis is testing physical, chemical and bacteriological characteristicsof water to ensure that water supply is clean, safe and ready for drinking water quality. Analyzing raw water quality in laboratorium needs more time. The proposed system could shorten the laboratory processing time by analyzing daily water production log. Association ruleinthe proposed system was used to generate relation model of water characteristicsfrom the data log provided by local government owned water utilities (PDAM, Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum). The data was transformed first from numerical data into categorical data using STOrage and RETrieval Data Warehouse (STORET)standard.Generated model needs to be simplified because some prediction rules could have the same interpretation. The generated parameter prediction modelwas sufficient to be used as the supporting data for any local policy made related to water supply and sanitationwithout additional costs from standard lab testing of water quality. Some water quality values of chemical characteristics need lab testing. Given the missing values of several chemical characteristics, the generated parameter prediction model still could give better accuracy of 80%-95%. Since PDAM staffmanually validated the generated model, the experiments used small data set.  Keywords— water quality prediction, association rule, storet
