Authors: V. Y. Nechay  , D. О. Voloshyn  , O. I. Nezhumira
Published: August 2018

Purpose. More than 20 years of the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) studies have led to the development of many methods for its evaluation. So far, there are no definitive conclusions about usage of these methods. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to determine the possibility of using a hybrid method for estimating WCET in real-time systems. Methodology. The approach for evaluating WCET for a hybrid method is to parse the input code in the C++ programming language and, after constructing the control flow graph, get the execution time of its base blocks. After finding the longest way of the graph, to estimate the time of execution of this way and get the WCET evaluation. To find the longest-running way, the reverse Dijkstra algorithm was chosen. After that, there was made a comparison of the limiting time estimations that were obtained by static and hybrid methods, as well as an analysis of the discrepancy between these results. Findings. Determining the worst execution time of programs is most important for "hard real-time" tasks. Underestimation of this indicator can lead to catastrophic consequences. An overestimation – to a significant overexpenditure of resources. Therefore, WCET was evaluated using static and dynamic methods. It was determined that the results obtained by the two methods correlate well. For the class of tasks that are under consideration, WCET execution time can be determined using a hybrid method. Adding an extra time of 15–20 % to the results, obtained by the hybrid method, allows getting a foolproof estimate of WCET in real-time systems. Originality. The hybrid method has been existing for some time, but the reliability of its use has not been sufficiently studied yet. The given study makes a step in determining the practical applicability of the hybrid method for time estimation of real-time tasks. Practical value. The results of this research allow us to conclude that a hybrid method could be used for obtaining WCET in "hard real-time" tasks. Furthermore, some unknown at this moment influence of the OS RT environment can be taken into account by adding extra time.
Mapping press ideology. A methodological proposal to systematise the analysis of political ideologies in newspapers
Authors: Schena Jucinara , Almiron Núria , Pineda Antonio
Published: August 2018

Ideology and political ideologies in general have been addressed both from theoretical and applied perspectives by media and communication scholars in an attempt to reveal whether pluralism is present or absent in the media. However, the complexity of such a task has proven to be high as well as very problematic. The efforts to systematise the study of ideology in the media in order to make it objective and systematic have been scarce. This paper tries to contribute to such systematising by providing a method to analyse political ideologies in the media that aims to be objective and replicable in the political context of Western democracies. Our work was inspired by previous studies that were mostly conducted in the field of political sciences and political communication. The main goal of this paper is to reach a deeper comprehension of ideology, in general, and political ideology in particular, and to conceptualise a method that aims to be instrumental in the analysis of the media from the viewpoint of political ideologies but without being restricted by traditional labels that may reproduce cultural biases. The theoretical-analytical method here suggested addresses ideologies in newspapers to identify worldviews according to four general values: individualism, communitarianism, egalitarianism and elitism.
Las redes sociales de las organizaciones de marketing de destinos turísticos como posible fuente de eWOM
Authors: Martínez-sala Alba-María , Cifuentes Albeza Rocío , Martínez-Cano Francisco-Julián
Published: August 2018

El turismo es uno de los sectores económicos de mayor crecimiento a nivel mundial; el de sol y playa, el principal de la industria turística española. Las redes sociales juegan un papel clave en el desarrollo de los destinos turísticos al ser uno de los canales principales para su difusión y comercialización, y un espacio para que los turistas reales y potenciales compartan sus experiencias influyendo en las decisiones de otros turistas. La presente investigación analiza la presencia y gestión de los principales destinos de sol y playa españoles en Facebook, así como la interacción de sus usuarios como posible origen de eWOM. Se utiliza para ello una metodología cuantitativa a partir de la monitorización y análisis de contenido de las publicaciones de los perfiles turísticos oficiales, de los responsables y de los usuarios. Los resultados muestran una clara implantación de esta red social en las estrategias de marketing y comunicación de los destinos turísticos, pero con planteamientos y resultados diferentes que no permiten establecer una relación directa entre las variables analizadas y su incidencia en la interacción de los usuarios. En este sentido, se concluye la pertinencia de métricas globales, aunque complementadas con estudios individualizados de los usuarios y de sus intereses.
CityVille: reasons, objectives and priorities for online play and communication
Authors: Del Moral Maria Esther , Guzmán Alba Patricia
Published: August 2018

The game CityVille, developed on social networks and focused on virtual city construction, allows players to have fun interacting online and collaborating with others in order to make their cities grow. The survey performed among members of the Fans-Cityville multinational community on Facebook (N=105) –63.0% men and 37.0% women– clearly shows that playing and sharing their hobby makes these individuals happy. 47.0% of them play between 3 and 6 hours every day and, although one can play for free, almost half of the players spend 8 USD per month on average to progress faster. Unlike men, whose outstanding competitive profile explains their exclusive goal of reaching the highest level –communicating with others only as a way to obtain new resources and win– women prioritize collaborative entertainment and thus assign more value to strategy exchange, mutual collaboration, and the opportunity to broaden their network of contacts and friends.
Olekranon kırığı olan büllöz akciğer hastasında anestezi yönetimi: usg eşliğinde infraklaviküler blok mu? genel anestezi mi: olgu sunumu
Authors: Baldemir Ramazan , Çakırca Müge , Aytaç İsmail , Baydar Mustafa
Published: August 2018

Üst
ekstremite cerrahisinde genel anestezi ya da rejyonel anestezi  yöntemlerinden herhangi biri  kullanılabilir olsa da genel anestezi ciddi akciğer komorbiditesi olan
hastalarda mortalite ve morbiditeyi artırmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda bilateral
büllöz akciğer tanısı olan ve üst ekstremite cerrahisi planlanan olguda
ultrason eşliğinde infraklaviküler blok tekniğinin genel anesteziye göre daha
güvenli bir yöntem olduğunu vurgulamayı amaçladık. Büllöz akciğer ve spontan
pnömotoraks öyküsü bulunan 50 yaşında erkek hasta, sağ olekranon fraktürü
nedeniyle hastanemize başvurdu. Akciğerlerinde bilateral bülleri olan hastanın
anestezi planlamasinda genel anestezi tercih edilmedi. Ultrason ve sinir
stimülasyonu eşliğinde infraklaviküler blok planlandı. Ameliyatı sorunsuz bir
şekilde tamamlanan olgu, sonrasında servise gönderildi. Postoperatif sekizinci
saate kadar ek analjezik ihtiyacı olmadı.

Sonuç
olarak,  rejyonel anestezi teknigi ciddi
akciger hastaligi olanlarda genel anesteziye oranla daha güvenlidir. Özellikle
ultrasonografi ve sinir sitimülasyonu tekniklerinin kombine kullanımı ile
uygulanacak sinir blokajıyla pnömotoraks ve intranöral enjeksiyon gibi
oluşabilecek komplikasyonların en aza indirilebileceği kanısındayız.

Published: August 2018

Tüberküloz
dünya çapında önemli bir sağlık sorunu olarak varlığını devam ettirmektedir.
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)  aşısının
koruyuculuğu % 0-80 arasında değişmekle birlikte, dissemine Tüberküloz (TB) ve
TB Menenjit insidansını azalttığı için önemini devam ettirmiştir. Dünyada
oldukça farklı BCG aşı programları mevcuttur. BCG aşısının güvenli bir şekilde
uygulanabileceği minimum gestasyonel yaş ve doğum ağırlığı aşılama
takvimlerinde net olarak tanımlanmamıştır. Bu durum, BCG aşısının preterm ve
düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde uygulanmasında sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Son
çalışmalar bu bebeklerde, doğumda veya doğumdan hemen sonra BCG aşı
uygulamasının etkin ve güvenilir olduğuna işaret etmekle birlikte, halen BCG
aşısı uygulanması için minimum gestasyonel yaş ve ağırlık
belirlenememiştir.  Ülkemizde, Sağlık
Bakanlığı Bağışıklama Programı’nda BCG aşı uygulamasının postnatal 2. ayın
sonunda yapılmasını tavsiye etmektedir. Ancak bu programda, aşının
uygulanabileceği minimum vücut ağırlığı ve gestasyonel yaş ile ilgili açıklama
olmaması, farklı kaynaklarda aşının yapılabileceği minimum ağırlık ile ilgili
değişik önerilerin yapılması pratik uygulamada karışıklığa yol açmaktadır. Bu
derlemede, preterm ve düşük doğum ağırlıklı (LBW) bebeklerde BCG aşısı uygulaması
ile ilgili güncel bilgiler ve son çalışmalar derlenmiş ve ülkemizdeki güncel
aşı uygulama programı ile ilgili öneriler sunulmuştur.

Introduction: The
importance of preoperative risk scoring in open-heart surgery has risen in the
last decades. Many scoring systems for mortality prediction before coronary
artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) have been described in all over the
world. We aimed to compare the efficacy of three different well-known and
commonly used mortality risk-scoring systems and to provide a more suitable
scoring system for our patient population.Material-Method:  A total of 2120 patients who had undergone
a CABG operation in Türkiye Yüksek İhtisas Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery
Clinic between January 2003 – December 2004 included in this study. The
patients who had concomitant surgery with CABG operation were excluded. The
in-hospital deaths and the deaths in postoperative 30 days were accepted as
mortality. The patients were divided into low, moderate and high-risk groups as
the risk scoring systems prerequisites. The predicted mortality rates by the
risk scoring systems and the observed mortality rates were compared. Results: The
observed mortality rates and the predicted mortality rates by the European
System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) were similar between the groups
(p>0.05). The observed mortality rates of low and moderate risk groups were
significantly lower than the predicted mortality rates with Parsonnet risk
scoring system (p<0.001). In the high-risk group, the observed mortality
rates were not significantly different from the predicted mortality rates with
the same risk scoring system (p>0.05). The predicted mortality rates with
Ontario Province Risk (OPR) scoring system and observed mortality rates in the
low risk group were significantly different (p<0.001). But in the moderate
and high risk groups, the observed mortality rates and predicted mortality
rates with the OPR were not significantly different (p>0.05). In the
receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, the area under the
curve (AUC) = 0.801 for EuroSCORE, AUC = 0.737 for Parsonnet and AUC = 0.677
for OPR risk scoring systems. According to these values, the accuracy of
EuroSCORE was accepted as high, Parsonnet was accepted as moderate and OPR was
accepted as non-significant.

Conclusion: The EuroSCORE risk scoring system results were
similar to the results in the literature. It is a reliable way of risk
prediction for the patients undergoing CABG surgery in our region.

Amaç:
Alt
ekstremitenin periferik arter hastalığı tanısı olan hastalarda Doppler US ile
anterior ve posterior tibial arter distalindeki dalga formlarına bakarak
proksimalde bulunabilecek stenozu ve/veya oklüzyonu tahmin etme konusundaki
etkinliğini değerlendirmek.

Gereç
ve Yöntemler: Çalışma periferik arteryel hastalığına
ait klinik bulguları olan 131 hastaya ait 261 ekstremite üzerinde
gerçekleştirildi. Her bir extremitede iki tip Doppler ultrason incelemesi
yapıldı: 1. Pelvik arterlerden başlayarak anterior ve posterior tibial
arterlerin distal kısımlarını içine alan eksiksiz inceleme; ve 2. yalnızca
anterior ve posterior tibial arterlerin distal kısımlarını içine alan hızlı
inceleme. Hızlı incelemedeki dalga formları üç başlık altında kategorize
edildi: 1. Normal trifazik akım; 2. pulsus parvus et tardus (sistolik
akselerasyon zamanı>200 ms); ve 3. ve önceki kategorilere uymayan arada
kalan akım formları. Dalga formlarının
okluzyon ve/veya ciddi stenozla ilişkisini araştırmak için Pearson ki-kare
analizi ve Bonferroni düzeltmeli z testi kullanıldı.

Bulgular:
Hızlı incelemede pulsus parvus et tardus saptanan hastaların hepsinde (n=38),
arada kalan dalga formları saptanan hastaların ise (n=192) %43.2’sinde ciddi
stenoz ve/veya oklüzyon saptandı. Normal trifazik akım saptanan hastaların
(n=31) hiç birinde ciddi stenoz ve/veya oklüzyon yoktu. Ciddi stenoz ve/veya
oklüzyon ile pulsus parvus et tardus ve trifazik dalga formları arasındaki
ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.05).

Sonuç:
Alt ekstremitenin arter hastalığı tanısı olan hastalarda Doppler US ile
anterior ve posterior tibial arter distalindeki dalga formlarına bakarak
proksimalde bulunabilecek ciddi stenoz ve/veya oklüzyon hızlı bir biçimde
tahmin edilebilir. Bu yaklaşım görüntüleme açısından tek başına yetersiz olsa
da acil servis koşullarında hızlı bir görüntüleme algoritması oluşturmak için
kullanılabilir.

Concluiu-se que a ferramenta FMEA é útil para o mapeamento de atitudes que comprometem a integridade física do trabalhador e que o comportamento é o ponto mais importante a ser abordado nas propostas de segurança do trabalho.
Evolução da intensificação do tráfego e a incidência de acidentes com tratores agrícolas nas vias públicas brasileiras
Authors: Bellochio Sabrina Dalla Corte , Alonço Airton Dos Santos , Possebom Gessieli , Lopes Tiago Gonçalves
Published: August 2018

O crescente uso de máquinas agrícolas, especialmente de tratores, na busca pela ampliação da superfície dominável, intensificou também a propensão a acidentes com essas máquinas. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi calcular a evolução da quantidade de veículos por quilômetro das rodovias brasileiras, no período de 1970 a 2015 e inter-relacionar com os dados de acidentes envolvendo tratores agrícolas, nas vias públicas. Para esse estudo foi considerada a frota brasileira de veículos convencionais e de tratores nesse período de 45 anos (1970-2015), bem como a extensão em quilômetros, de rodovias brasileiras. No último ano analisado (2015), foi observado um total de mais de 1,72 milhões de quilômetros de vias e 43,5 milhões de unidades de veículos em circulação. Se comparado aos 1,13 milhões de quilômetros e 2,5 milhões de veículos, em 1970, o crescimento de 52,21% e 16,8 vezes, respectivamente, demonstram a acentuada intensificação do tráfego. Em concomitante, também se elevou a circulação de tratores em vias públicas, o que aliado a velocidade das vias, bem como o tipo e a largura das mesmas, elevaram, por sua vez, a ocorrência de acidentes. Dentre os acidentes, as colisões traseiras em tratores são destaque, com maiores índices evidenciados. Apesar do número de acidentes ser menor, a gravidade dos mesmos apresenta de 5 a 8 vezes mais fatalidades, em comparação aos acidentes com veículos. Assim, a evolução se apresentou positiva, com acréscimo na intensificação do tráfego nas rodovias brasileiras, porém como consequência, há a elevação, também, da ocorrência de acidentes com tratores nesta condição.

Published: August 2018

No Brasil, no que tange ao incentivo à relação universidade-empresa, foi promulgada em 2004 a Lei de Inovação (Lei nº 10.973 de 2004) - que dispõe medidas de incentivo à inovação e à pesquisa científica e tecnológica no ambiente produtivo, com vistas à capacitação e ao alcance da autonomia tecnológica e ao desenvolvimento industrial do País. Esta Lei veio a refletir em mudanças na configuração das universidades bem como na relação universidade-empresa. As universidades tiveram de instituir os Núcleos de Inovação Tecnológica (NIT) bem como se adaptar a outros mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia promulgados pela Lei. Destarte, buscou-se elucidar quais as barreiras à transferência de tecnologia, segundo opinião dos NIT. Por meio de um estudo multicasos observou-se que as percepções dos NIT em relação às barreiras à transferência de tecnologia universidade-empresa apresentam naturezas diferentes apesar de apresentarem congruências em alguns pontos e que as barreiras se referem-se a aspectos de ordem jurídica, político-governamental, relacional, econômica, de recursos humanos, operacionais, tecnológicas e mercadológicas.

Medication Related Osteonecrosis of Jaw: A Medical Oncologist’s Perspective
Authors: Darling Harry S
Published: August 2018

Medication related osteonecrosis of jaw (MRONJ) is a rare iatrogenic disease. Cancer therapeutics is advancing exponentially and apart from a major emphasis on quality of life (QoL) in metastatic patients, now we are foreseeing increased longevity. This necessitates the rising need of betterment of supportive care modalities and looking into the rare complications of therapy. Bisphosphonates (BPs) and Denosumab, the anti-resorptive agents (ARAs) used commonly by medical oncologists in cancers with bone metastases and less commonly in prevention or treatment of osteoporosis, are implicated in the etiology of MRONJ. Many a times, it goes undetected, underdiagnosed and untreated due to lack of awareness, low index of suspicion and paucity of understanding of this disorder amongst medical oncology fraternity. A high index of suspicion is a cornerstone of timely diagnosis and therapeutic action. A regular collaboration between treating oncologist and dentist is of utmost importance.
El reto de pensar sobre los derechos fundamentales de los pueblos originarios
Authors: Rodrigues Saulo Tarso , Martín Núria Belloso
Published: August 2018

Los derechos indígenas suponen un reto para el constitucionalismo latinoamericano en cuanto a su afectación a los derechos humanos, principalmente en cuanto a su relación con el derecho a la igualdad. Hay minorías, grupos diferenciados  que, precisamente, para lograr que el principio de igualdad sea una realidad, deben hacerlo a partir de la diferencia y constituirse como “ciudadanos diferenciados”. Las Constituciones que se enmarcan en el nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano, han acogido los derechos indígenas en un planteamiento que excede el modelo de Estado multiculturalista, orientándose hacia un Estado plurinacional. Ello permite que los derechos indígenas encuentren más fácilmente acomodo, sin el temor a que se les ofrezca una asimilación o tutelaje.

Published: August 2018

The article is about solving the last mile delivery problem in rural town or village. We want to test the drone’s potential in parcel delivery. The objectives are 1) to introduce the cluster and truck-drone in tandem delivery method, 2) to compare the new method with the traditional TSP method in aspect of truck running distance, energy using and time occupation. The parcel delivery demand is sparse, so it is not dense enough for a truck to carry on delivery. We try to identify the best route for the drone to deliver the goods. We use k-mean method to carry on clustering, then we use enumeration method to fulfill the centroids delivery, which comes from the depot. We design a model and calculate the energy, time and distance saving between drone using method (DTSP) and traditional TSP method. The drone attended delivery saves truck delivery distance, energy consumption and time. The truck running distance of DTSP method saves 91.87%, the truck running distance is shortened from 189.69 km to 15.4252 km. The DTSP method saves 90.45% of energy. The DTSP method brings a 29.75% cutoff in time aspect when there are two drone in running. The research introduces the cluster and TSP combination method, which is a good way to carry on last mile delivery. The result shows a bright future for drone to attend parcel delivery. The e-commerce corporation can apply this method in practice.
Non-equidistance DGM(1,1) Model Based on the Concave Sequence and Its Application to Predict the China’s Per Capita Natural Gas Consumption
Authors: Kong Xinhai , Zhao Yong , Chen Jiajia
Published: August 2018

Although the grey forecasting model has been successfully adopted in various fields and demonstrated promising results, the literatures show its performance could be further improved, such as for the DGM(1,1) model, based on a concave sequence, the modeling error will be larger. In this paper, firstly the definition of sequence convexity is given out, and it is proved that the output sequence of DGM(1,1) model is a convex sequence. Next, the residual change law of DGM(1,1) model based on the concave sequence is discussed, and the non-equidistance DGM(1,1) model is proposed. Finally, by introducing the symmetry transformation, a concave sequence is transformed into a convex sequence, called the symmetric sequence of the concave sequence, and then construct the non-equidistance DGM(1,1) model based on the convex sequence. The example results show that the novel method is more accurate than the direct modeling for a concave sequence.

Evaluating submicron-sized activated carbon adsorption for microfiltration pretreatment
Authors: Matsui Y. , Sanogawa T. , Aoki N. , Mima S. , Matsushita T.
Published: August 2018

Submicron powdered activated carbon (PAC) rapidly adsorbed natural organic matter (NOM) fromwater samples: a batch test of the adsorption kinetics showed that the NOM concentration dropped substantially within 15 s and then leveled off. In a tubular flow reactor test, NOM removal after a 15 s contact time was almost the same as removal values attained at longer contact times. Laboratory-scale and bench-scale pilotplant ceramic microfiltration (MF) experiments with submicron PAC adsorption pretreatment were conducted to evaluate NOM removal and to examine the effect of the PAC on filterability. The laboratory scale MF experiment revealed that PAC adsorption pretreatment could be accomplished with a detention (2.4 s) that was much shorter than the time expected from the adsorption kinetics test. This result suggests that adsorption pretreatment for MF could be accomplished by adding the submicron PAC directly into the feed line to the membrane and that installation of a special PAC contactor before the membrane unit is unnecessary. Although micron PAC rather than submicron PAC was used unintentionally in the pilot plant experiment, these PAC showed much better NOM removal than normal PAC, and no adverse effects, such as transmembrane pressure buildup and reversible or irreversible membrane fouling, were observed.
The effects of filtration temperature and alum dosing on Cryptosporidium sized particle breakthrough
Authors: Xu G.R. , Fitzpatrick C.S.B.
Published: August 2018

Understanding the causes of breakthrough in filtration is essential worldwide. Breakthrough links many factors, such as filtration flow rate and flow rate changes, temperature, chemical dosing, raw water quality, etc. These factors can affect floc strength, which has been recognized as one of the most important factors in filter efficiency and particle breakthrough, related to Cryptosporidium outbreaks. This research aims to investigate particle breakthrough related to temperature and chemical dosing. Experiments were conducted to establish the relationship between temperature and chemical dosing changes to floc strength and particle breakthrough. The temperature was set at a series range as 5 °C, 15 °C and 25 °C. Each was combined with a series of Al dose changes. A laser particle counter was installed to assess the particle breakthrough online. ζ potential and turbidity were measured before (after coagulation) and after filtration. The results show particle breakthrough is influenced significantly by temperature and dosing. Particle breakthrough increased rapidly at lower temperatures but at higher temperatures it reduced at the same coagulant dose. With coagulants, even at low doses, particle breakthrough reduced significantly. There is an optimal dose in filtration; the optimal dose gives a ζ potential equal to about zero.
Novel multifunctional membrane technology for visual detection and enhanced adsorptive removal of lead ions in water and wastewater
Authors: Zhang Linzi , Bai Renbi
Published: August 2018

A multifunctional membrane for visual detection and enhanced adsorptive removal of lead ions in aqueous solution was prepared by immobilizing lead sensitive ligand, dithizone (DZ), on chitosan (CS) /cellulose acetate (CA) blend membrane. The prepared membrane can display visible color change (from yellow to red) as a response to lead ions in solutions; and at the same time, lead ions can be adsorptively removed by the amine groups on the membrane surface. Thus, the development provides a truly multifunctional membrane technology that can achieve optical warning as well as removal of lead ions simultaneously. Experimental results showed that the prepared membrane exhibited the advantages of quick response, easy naked-eye recognition and improved lead uptake capacity.

Dye wastewater has attracted significant attention because of its wide pH range and high content of color. In this work, the coagulation performances of cucurbit[8]uril for the removal of color from acid red 1 (AR1), orange II (OII), and Congo red (CR) dye wastewaters were investigated. Experimental results showed that color removal rates of greater than 95% for AR1, OII and CR were achieved at pH 6.0, when the dosage of cucurbit[8]uril was 1.51, 3.01 and 0.38 mmol·L−1, respectively. Under identical conditions, the color removal efficiencies of AR1 and CR were higher than OII, due to the larger molecular weights and more active hydroxyl and amino groups. Moreover, steady increases in AR1, OII and CR removal rates were recorded with increasing ionic strength. Such increases may be related to the reduction in thickness of the surface solvent membrane surrounding the dye colloids at high ionic strengths. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectra demonstrated that no new bonds or functional groups were formed during coagulation, which indicates that the removal of AR1, OII and CR was primarily a physical process. The hydrogen bonds and inclusion complexes formed between cucurbit[8]uril and AR1, OII and CR contributed to the removal of color in coagulation predominantly.

Some of the nutrition problems still found in Wonogiri district. To solve that problems, completeness, and timeliness of the nutrition surveillance data reporting are needed so the data can be used as the basis for making policy appropriately. Evaluation of nutrition surveillance system was conducted to find out completeness and timeliness of the nutrition surveillance data reporting. This was an evaluative study using quantitative descriptive analysis which conducted from December 2017 to January 2018. Subjects of this study were nutritionists in District Health Office and 25 Primary Health Care (PHC) which selected randomly using Slovin samples size. Data collected by interviews and observation on surveillance data reporting form. PHC that reported complete data were 6 PHC (24%). One PHC (4%) did not report malnutrition data due to poor of time management. Ten Puskesmas (40%) did not report Hemoglobin data because they assumed that it was the duty of the laboratory officer or midwife. Three PHC (12%) did not report exclusive breastfeeding data every month, because they consider that the data should be collected only once every six months. Nine PHC (36%) did not report goiter data because they considered that it was no need to report if no cases. Most PHC (52%), never report the data timely. Most nutritionists (84%) had another duty that inhibits them to finish the surveillance data timely. Only two PHC (8%) whom the nutritionists had another duty but always report the data timely. Completeness and timeliness of the nutrition surveillance data reporting were still unsatisfying. PHC should be encouraged to collect data completely and timely. The data collection procedure should be fixed on the indicator collected and the time period in the data collection.
Sudah efektifkah kebijakan kawasan tanpa rokok di Indonesia?
Authors: Amaliah Nur Aeni
Published: August 2018

Tujuan: Era desentralisasi menjadikan pemerintah lokal memiliki wewenang untuk mencegah dampak negatif dari konsumsi tembakau. Sekitar 30% kabupaten/kota di Indonesia memiliki perda KTR, namun efektifitas kebijakan tersebut dalam menurunkan prevalensi merokok perlu diteliti. Isi kebijakan KTR hanya membatasi area merokok dan iklan rokok di wilayah yang sebagian besar sebenarnya ada di perkotaan. Bagaimana dengan kebijakan di perdesaan?. Isi kebijakan tiap daerah berbeda-beda yang dapat menimbulkan kesenjangan peraturan antar daerah. Indonesia belum meratifikasi tembakau dan undang-undang tentang pertembakauan belum disahkan pemerintah. Konten: Tidak ada perbedaan jumlah perokok remaja pada daerah dengan dan tanpa KTR. Contohnya di DKI Jakarta yang memiliki regulasi KTR namun kenyataannya dalam pelaksanaannya tidak selalu dipatuhi. Kebijakan KTR yang ada di daerah tidak memiliki dampak pengurangan merokok pada usia remaja. Kawasan yang telah ditentukan dalam kebijakan KTR merupakan tempat-tempat yang ada di perkotaan misalnya kantor, sekolah, restoran, pasar dan rumah sakit, sedangkan di pedesaan hampir tidak ada tempat pelarangan merokok. Berdasarkan hasil Riskesdas 2013, orang yang merokok setiap hari sebagian besar (25.5%) tinggal di daerah perdesaan. Simpulan: Kebijakan KTR di Indonesia belum efektif. Pemerintah daerah yang tidak menggantungkan sumber pendapatannya dari tembakau dapat lebih tegas peraturannya. Pada daerah tersebut, kebijakan untuk mengurangi prevalensi perokok selain KTR sebaiknya ditambah pembatasan penjualan rokok di warung-warung dan sales penjual rokok di desa-desa. Larangan merokok di dalam rumah belum ada dalam Perda KTR, ini dapat menjangkau perkotaan maupun perdesaan. Fungsi pengawasan harus dicantumkan dengan jelas dalam perda KTR.
