Endogenitas dari Indikator Optimum Currency: Studi Empiris di Negara ASEAN
Authors: Falianty Telisa Aulia 
Published: May 2018

Pembentukan suatu currency union adalah tahap terakhir dari langkah kebijakan menuju integrasi regional. Currency union biasa didefinisikan sebagai suatu area di mana mata uang tunggal beredar. Perdebatan mengenai adopsi dari common currency oleh negara-negara anggota ASEAN mulai bermunculan terutama sejak terjadinya krisis Asia 1997 dan setelah Euro menjadi kenyataan pada awal tahun 1999 dan tetap bertahan dengan baik sampai sekarang. Keinginan untuk membentuk currency union di Asia Timur dan ASEAN juga dipicu oleh semakin meningkatnya integrasi dalam perdagangan melalui ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). Hal-hal tersebut melatarbelakangi penulis untuk mengadakan penelitian mengenai kemungkinan pembentukan currency union di ASEAN. Penelitian mengenai currency union pada umumnya dibagi menjadi tiga bagian besar, yaitu : kemungkinan pembentukan dilihat dari beberapa prasyarat pembentukan currency union (properti dari Optimum Currency Area), penghitungan Indeks Optimum Currency Area (OCA Index), dan endogeneitas dari indikator OCA. Paper ini akan memfokuskan pada studi empiris mengenai OCA index dan endogeneitas dari prasyarat pembentukan currency union.lndikator-indikator OCA dapat menjadi endogen terhadap variabel-variabel lain. Hal ini disebut sebagai endogeneitas dari indikator-indikator prasyarat pembentukan currency union. Asymmetric shocks sebagai salah satu indikator OCA endogen terhadap variabel perdagangan. Menurut Frankel dan Rose (1998), semakin tinggi level bilateral trade maka semakin besar korelasi siklus bisnis antar negara dan semakin kecil ketidaksimetrisan antar negara dalam menghadapi guncangan (shocks). Menurut Fidrmuc (2001), konvergensi siklus bisnis terjadi melalui jalur intra industry trade. Dengan menggunakan Structural VAR dan Kalman Filter akan diteliti mengenai endogeneitas dari asymmetric shocks di ASEAN terhadap variabel perdagangan. Kalman Filter akan digunakan untuk menghitung time varying correlation coefficient antara negara-negara anggota ASEAN. Filter ini menggambarkan bagaimana time path dari parameter model.

Deforestation speed was increasing fastly from 1,87 million ha/year on the 1985-1997 period to 2,6 million ha/year on 1998-2000 period. This increase in speed cause many problems such as: a decrease in environment quality, the drastic decrease in forest timber production which affects timber supply,etc. There are many factors affecting a change in the forest coverage. At first, management of Forest Utilization Right (HPH) and the development of timber industry are perceived as the cause of the increase in deforestation speed. However, there are other argument that propose an increase in the number of farmers and nomad farmer in forest area as the cause the change in forest coverage. The purpose of this study is to get a picture of the direct cause of the change in forest coverage. This study use panel data method for 19 provinces from 1976 to 2000. The results show that there is a positive relationship between speed of deforestation and forest coverage. Logging activity and forest conversion contribute to the change in forest coverage where forest conversion has bigger impact on the speed of deforestation. This analysis indicates that forest conversion is the maior cause of deforestation in Indonesia. The conversion of forest into plantation is the major cause of deforestation in Indonesia. On the other hand the number of small farmers or people live in forest area has very little impact on deforestation.

Published: May 2018

O cálculo do equilíbrio de fases de uma dada mistura é um problema muito presente em processos químicos. Para resolvê-lo, é aconselhável se conhecer previamente o número de fases presentes na mistura. Assim, a solução de um outro problema se faz necessária, o problema do teste de estabilidade, que pode ser abordado como um problema de otimização. É ressaltado na literatura que, para proporcionar uma completa predição do equilíbrio de fases, faz-se necessário não apenas a determinação do minimizador global da função objetivo do teste de estabilidade, mas também a obtenção de todos os seus pontos estacionários. Nesse trabalho aborda-se um método de busca aleatória, o método Luus Jaakola juntamente com a metaheurística Simulated Annealing, com o objetivo de encontrar todos os pontos estacionários de uma mistura cujos resultados numéricos já são abordados na literatura. Assim, objetiva-se realizar a comparação entre os métodos Luus Jaakola e Simulated Annealing, na resolução do problema de Estabilidade Termodinâmica, determinando qual metodologia é mais eficiente na resolução deste problema.

Abstract
Water use efficiencies (WUEs) between 20% and 60% are commonly reported for single rice paddies. When larger spatial domains are considered, higher WUE than minimum values observed for individual fields are expected due to water reuse. This study investigates scale-effects on water balances and WUEs of four adjacent rice fields located in Northern Italy and characterized by different elevations (A ≅ B + C &gt; D). Water balance terms for the paddies were quantified during the agricultural season 2015 through the integrated use of observational data and modelling procedures. Following a Darcy-based approach, percolation was distinguished from net seepage. Results showed net irrigation of about 2,700 and 2,050 mm for fields A and B, and around 640 and nearly 0 mm for C and D. WUE of A, B, C and D amounted, respectively, to 21, 28, 66 and &gt;100%. Values for C and D were due to less permeable soils, to seepage fluxes providing extra water inputs and to the shallow groundwater level. When the group of paddies ACD was considered (B was not included since it was separated by a deep channel), net irrigation and WUE were found to reach 1,550 mm and 39%, confirming the important role of water reuses in paddy agro-ecosystems.

Abstract
Public participation in water conservation projects is gaining more and more attention in the information era. Public opinion, showing the focus and interests of the public, is the basis of public participation. This paper proposes a social sensing system based on social media platforms, which employs two natural language processing technologies, namely, sentiment analysis and topic modeling. The public opinion on water conservation projects is monitored from three perspectives: public opinion intensity (POI) monitoring, topic detection, and sentiment analysis. To test their effectiveness, a case study on the South-to-North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP) in China is conducted. The public opinion data were acquired from Sina Weibo, China's largest social media platform. The results indicate that: (1) POI peaks when hot project-related events occur, and POI of direct stakeholders apparently exceeds indirect stakeholders; (2) different stakeholders have different topics of concern closely associated with their interests; (3) negative events always lead to dramatic decreases in the sentiment value (SV), while positive events only slightly lift SV. The proposed system has achieved real-time monitoring of the public opinion on water conservation projects. Consequently, it can help to improve the level of public participation and provide a valuable reference in project management and policy-making.

Published: May 2018

Background:
Aescin or β-escin is the main and active constituent of horse chestnut
seed (Aesculus hippocastanum) used for the treatment of inflammatory edema, venous insufficiency
and ischemic ulcerations. Aescin has many actions due to induction of endothelial
nitric oxide and prostaglandin F2-α production moreover; aescin antagonizes the effect of histamine
and 5HT at receptor levels.
</P><P>
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the neurobehavioral effects of aescin
on normal healthy volunteers.
</P><P>
Method: A total number of 65 healthy participants with mean age of 21+1.1 years were recruited
to study the effects of aescin on the neurobehavioral effects of normal healthy volunteers
compared to placebo. The neurobehavioral effects were assessed by psychomotor performances
and sensorimotor reaction, cortical arousal and central integrity processes and assessment
of memory capacity.

Results:
Placebo produced insignificant amelioration of TRT and RRT p>0.05, with mild
significant effect on MRT p=0.03. Aescin produced a significant effect in the amelioration of
psychomotor performances and sensorimotor reaction p=0.0001. Regarding the differential
effect of placebo and aescin on the cortical arousal and central integrity processes, placebo illustrated
insignificant effect at p>0.05 whereas; aescin showed mild significant effect on Critical
Fusion Frequency (CFFA) p<0.05 and highly significant effect on the other parameters
p<0.01 except for critical-fusion frequency threshold when aescin illustrated insignificant effect
at p>0.05. Aescin illustrated significant acceleration of ІІ-back WMA, ІІІ-back WMA
and Second trial Short-Term Memory (STM) at p<0.01 compared to the placebo effect.

Conclusion:
Short-term therapy with aescin improves the neurobehavioral effects on healthy
volunteers.

Published: May 2018

A comparative study was conducted between IBS construction and conventional wet construction to compare performances in terms of time, cost, quality and utilization of manpower. Four low-rise building projects which adopted IBS and conventional methods of construction were selected for case studies. The findings suggest that construction using interlocking blocks and prefabricated systems can reduce the overall cost, time, and manpower and produces better quality housing than the conventional method. Environmentally, IBS also facilitates waste minimization and reduction, thus further highlighting its positive economics, while reductions in overall manpower requirements may also bring about less dependency on foreign labour.

The research was conducted to study the prevalence of helminthic infection among primary school children in some selected primary schools in municipal local government area, Kano state. A total of 100 hundred school children between the ages group of 6-12 years old were examined for intestinal helminth infections using direct wet method and formol-ether concentration technique. The samples were collected from both sexes and were processed. Of the 100 pupils examined, 72.0% were infected with one or a combination of the worms with Ascaris having the highest prevalence rate (31.0%) followed by hookworm (19.0%), Schistosoma (8.0%), Enterobius (8.0%), Strongyloides (6.0%) had the least rate of infection as shown in table 3. The prevalence of infection of helminth parasite among schools ranged between (A) 17(23.62%), (B) 14(19.4%), (C) 12(16.67%), (D) 15(20.83%), and (E) 14(19.44%) with no significant difference in the prevalence of infection between schools (p>0.05). Table 1 shows that out of 100 pupils examined, 40(40.0%) males and 60(60.0%) females respectively, of these 27(67.5%) males and 45(75.0) females were infected, the difference not significant (p>0.05). Of the 72 infected subject 17(23.6%) have multiple infection with 11(15.3%) and 6(8.4%) having double and triple infections respectively. Ascaris occur mostly with other helminth, Ascaris lumbricoides+ hookworm and Ascaris +enterobius vermicularis+ hookworm mostly were more common occurring combinations.
La esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA): ¿cómo afrontan las y los profesionales sociosanitarios su trabajo con las personas afectadas?
Authors: González-Herrera Inmaculada 
Published: May 2018

La esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA) es una enfermedad neurodegenerativa en la que fallan las neuronas llamadas “motoneuronas”, lo que provoca una paralización progresiva de los músculos, que afecta a la movilidad e impide la adecuada deglución, habla y respiración, entre otros síntomas. Además, no tiene cura; solo se pueden paliar sus consecuencias para intentar mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con que padecen la enfermedad, desde distintos ámbitos sociosanitarios. El presente artículo aborda la percepción de las estrategias de afrontamiento de las y los profesionales que atienden a las personas afectadas, su formación para dicho fin y su satisfacción profesional. Así, a partir de veintidós entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a profesionales sociosanitarios de la provincia de Valencia (España), se ha realizado un análisis de contenido cualitativo de la información obtenida. El estudio ha identificado distintas estrategias de afrontamiento que utilizan los profesionales (aceptación, humor y separación, entre otras) y cómo estas varían según la función que los profesionales desempeñan en el tratamiento de la enfermedad. Asimismo, se ha evidenciado que los entrevistados tienen importantes carencias en formación para el afrontamiento, la comunicación con los enfermos y el proceso de duelo.
Diurnal Variations of Depression-Related Health Information Seeking: Case Study in Finland Using Google Trends Data

Published: May 2018

BackgroundSome of the temporal variations and clock-like rhythms that govern several different health-related behaviors can be traced in near real-time with the help of search engine data. This is especially useful when studying phenomena where little or no traditional data exist. One specific area where traditional data are incomplete is the study of diurnal mood variations, or daily changes in individuals’ overall mood state in relation to depression-like symptoms.ObjectiveThe objective of this exploratory study was to analyze diurnal variations for interest in depression on the Web to discover hourly patterns of depression interest and help seeking.MethodsHourly query volume data for 6 depression-related queries in Finland were downloaded from Google Trends in March 2017. A continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was applied to the hourly data to focus on the diurnal variation. Longer term trends and noise were also eliminated from the data to extract the diurnal variation for each query term. An analysis of variance was conducted to determine the statistical differences between the distributions of each hour. Data were also trichotomized and analyzed in 3 time blocks to make comparisons between different time periods during the day.ResultsSearch volumes for all depression-related query terms showed a unimodal regular pattern during the 24 hours of the day. All queries feature clear peaks during the nighttime hours around 11 PM to 4 AM and troughs between 5 AM and 10 PM. In the means of the CWT-reconstructed data, the differences in nighttime and daytime interest are evident, with a difference of 37.3 percentage points (pp) for the term “Depression,” 33.5 pp for “Masennustesti,” 30.6 pp for “Masennus,” 12.8 pp for “Depression test,” 12.0 pp for “Masennus testi,” and 11.8 pp for “Masennus oireet.” The trichotomization showed peaks in the first time block (00.00 AM-7.59 AM) for all 6 terms. The search volumes then decreased significantly during the second time block (8.00 AM-3.59 PM) for the terms “Masennus oireet” (P<.001), “Masennus” (P=.001), “Depression” (P=.005), and “Depression test” (P=.004). Higher search volumes for the terms “Masennus” (P=.14), “Masennustesti” (P=.07), and “Depression test” (P=.10) were present between the second and third time blocks.ConclusionsHelp seeking for depression has clear diurnal patterns, with significant rise in depression-related query volumes toward the evening and night. Thus, search engine query data support the notion of the evening-worse pattern in diurnal mood variation. Information on the timely nature of depression-related interest on an hourly level could improve the chances for early intervention, which is beneficial for positive health outcomes.

Authors: Novitasari Resti , Malik Adlaida , Nurchaini Dewi Sri 
Published: May 2018

Beras merupakan makanan pokok masyarakat di Kota Sungai Penuh dimana harga beras selalu mengalami kenaikan setiap tahunnya dan membuat konsumen harus bersedia membayar terhadap jenis beras yang dikonsumsinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mengkaji karakteristik konsumen beras di Kota Sungai Penuh, (2) mengetahui jumlah responden yang bersedia membayar terhadap kenaikan harga beras di Kota Sungai Penuh, dan (3) menganalisis hubungan antara karakteristik konsumen beras dengan kesediaan membayar (WTP) di Kota Sungai Penuh. Penelitian ini dimulai pada tanggal 10 Mei sampai 10 Juni 2016 terhadap 71 konsumen. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif untuk memperoleh gambaran karakteristik konsumen beras di Kota Sungai Penuh dan kesediaan membayar (WTP) konsumen terhadap kenaikan harga beras. Uji Chi-Square digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara karakteristik konsumen dengan kesediaan membayar (WTP) konsumen di Kota Sungai Penuh.
Hasil analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik konsumen terdiri dari mayoritas responden memiliki tingkat pendapatan keluarga per bulan sebesar Rp. 900.000 - Rp. 3.590.140, tingkat pendidikan SMA, kelompok usia 34 – 41 tahun dan jumlah anggota keluarga 3 – 4 orang. Untuk kesediaan membayar konsumen terhadap kenaikan harga beras yaitu mayoritas responden bersedia membayar sebesar 20% dari harga sebenarnya dan diperoleh bahwa pendapatan, pendidikan, dan usia memiliki hubungan yang kuat terhadap kesediaan membayar dimana hasil dari c2 hit > c2tabel keputusannya tolak H0, sedangkan untuk jumlah anggota keluarga tidak memiliki hubungan terhadap kesediaan membayar karena hasil c2 hit > c2tabel sehingga keputusannya terima H0, menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat pendapatan, pendidikan, dan usia konsumen maka semakin tinggi konsumen bersedia membayar terhadap kenaikan harga beras.
