The effect of N and P on nutrient concentrations, growth and vegetative traits of rubber (RRIM 2025) clone was evaluated. The treatments consisted 9 combinations of nitrogen (Urea) and phosphorus (Christmas Island Rock Phosphate – CIRP) with fixed rate of potassium (1.5 g per plant). The treatments were applied at different rates T1 (39.49 g), T2 (42.10 g), T3 (38.18 g), T4 (27.28 g) and T5 (26.10 g). The seedlings were planted in 15 cm x 30 cm filled with an Oxisol soil. Soil containing treatment (T2) significantly increased the seedlings growth like height and girth size than the remaining treatments. The results found that seedlings grown with T2 recorded higher chlorophyll content than the seedlings that were grown with T1, T4 and T5. Noticeably seedlings that was grown with T1 (39.49 g), T2 (42.10 g), and T3 (38.18 g) significantly had a higher shoot dry weight (SDW) than seedlings that were grown with T4 (27.28 g) and T5 (26.10 g). The same scenario was noticed in total dry weight (TDW) of the seedlings where T1 (68.64 g), T2 (73.30 g) and T3 (67.08) significantly recorded higher total dry weight than seedlings that were grown with T4 (50.29 g) and T5 (48.86 g). The result shows reflected a correlation between the SDW and TDW with respect to similar influence of the treatments on both the vegetative traits. Higher nitrogen content was recorded in seedlings rubber that were grown with T2 (3.57%) and significantly different from the seedlings that were grown with other treatments. The results of this study showed that higher dosage of fertilizer may not be necessary for the rubber seedlings. Application of fertilizers at the rate T2 which contains 2.0 g urea/plant and 7.5 g CIRP/plant could be considered as the optimum amount of fertilizer required for the rubber seedlings.

Welding is one of the major aspects of manufacturing as well as mechanical engineering. The strength of the metal joint depends on the type of welding used. Quality of metal joining strength can be improved with a few changes in the regular welding process. A few factors that improve metal jointing strength during the arc welding process had been studied in this paper. Research in welding process shows that Vibration can improve mechanical properties of the joining section. However, welding joint quality varies with different ranges of parameters in different conditions. To analyze those ranges of parameters in some selected conditions, a study has been performed in this paper. Some input parameters like vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, welding speed and electrode angle are selected to analyze the variation in the welded joint. For analyzing the results, output parameters –bending strength and dilution rate are calculated. It has been found that if all input parameters are kept in a selected range then output parameters –bending strength, the percentage of dilution increases than the regular case. Finally, it can be shown that Bending strength and percentage of dilution of a metal joint assisted with vibration shows the better result than without vibration.

Summary

Introduction: The use of dietary supplements has been observed for many years. Unfortunately, the status of food supplements and main differences between these and drugs remain unknown to most consumers.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the opinions of future healthcare professionals on dietary supplements, their behavior concerning food supplementation, as well as their knowledge on the safety of these products.

Methods: The survey was conducted among 354 future healthcare professionals, using a questionnaire composed of 21 items exploring demographic characteristics, knowledge of supplements, reasons for the use of dietary supplement, and recall of the use.

Results: All respondents knew that the purpose of using these products is supplementation. A vast majority of respondents (83.9%) thought that a diet with no supplementation is possible or probably possible. 49.4% of respondents (n=175) declared taking food supplements. The most commonly used ones (68.6%) were products recommended during illness and used to improve the condition of skin, hair, and nails. Moreover, dietary supplements mentioned by students included those containing herbal ingredients, such as: Equisetum arvense, Allium sativum, Panax ginseng, and Ginkgo biloba. Most of respondents buy dietary supplements at pharmacies (89.14%).

Conclusions: Use of dietary supplements is widespread among students. Future healthcare professionals have a better knowledge on food supplementation than population of Poland in general, however, they still need good education in this matter.

Abstract

Background and aims: to identify heart rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure (BP) in patients with type 1 diabetes depending on the duration of disease and glycemic control.

Materials and methods: 43 patients were examined. All patients were divided into 2 groups according to the level of НвА1с: group 1 (n=21) with НвА1с ≤ 7.5% and group 2 (n=22) with НвА1с > of 7.5%. All patients underwent daily monitoring of electrocardiogram Holter and ambulatory BP monitoring within 24 hours in parallel with long term monitoring of blood glucose.

Results: Hyppoglycemia is characterized by significant decrease root mean square difference between adjacent RR intervals (RMSSD) (r = −0.531; p = 0.003) and number of consecutive RR intervals, the difference between them is more than 50 ms expressed as a percentage of total number of RR-intervals (pNN50%) (r = the −0.503; p = 0.005) and increase of Low Frequency/High Frequency Ratio (LF/HF) (r = 0552; p = 0.002). Patients with hypoglycemia had significantly higher daily diastolic pressure area index (DPAI24) (p = 0.016), and daily diastolic pressure time index DPTI24 (p = 0.025).

Conclusion: our findings demonstrate the need to reduce the frequency of hypoglycemia episodes in patients with T1DM.
Grammatical deviation in President Jokowi’s speech to the APEC CEO summit
Authors: Budiharto R. Agus 
Published: April 2018

Grammar constitutes not only part of one’s knowledge but also a central component of verbal communication for people who are using language. When speakers use language without using grammar (i.e. the rules regarding how words alter their form and combine with other words to create sentences), it can cause a muddle and also possibly, problems in communication such as grammatical deviation. This present study examines a speech at the APEC CEO Summit in 2014 by President Joko Widodo, from the perspective of grammatical deviation with two foci, via: to find out the types of grammatical deviation spoken by the speaker by employing Leech’s views (1969)and to identify the speaker’s social status by employing the theory of Trudgill (2004). The result from this study shows that some of President Joko Widodo’s speech deviated from the rules, although based on Fromkin et al. (2011)when a person knows a language; he knows the sounds, words and the rules of their combination.
Patterns of rhetorical organization in The Jakarta Post opinion articles
Authors: Indarti Dwi 
Published: April 2018

Opinion articles are part of a professional discourse genre that can be found in newspapers. These articles are separated from news pages and written for the public, so they contain a variety of cultural backgrounds. This study looked at 151 opinion articles published in The Jakarta Post of the March 2016 editions. Shi and Kubota’s (2007)four pattern of rhetorical organization was adapted as the theoretical framework for the present study. The results of this study showed that the overall rhetorical pattern of The Jakarta Post opinion articles is a three-part structure of introduction, body and conclusion paragraphs. In term of the placing of the thesis statement, 47% of non-native writers and 38% of native writers put the thesis statement in the introduction part with a single sentence paragraph or two short single-sentence paragraphs, and 38% of non-native writers and 40% of native writers wrote the introduction part with two or more multi-sentence paragraphs, and put the thesis statement at the end of them. Only 8% of non-native writers and 5% of native writers put the thesis statement in the body part, while 7% of non-native writers and 17% of native writers put the thesis statement in the conclusion. Generally, there was a slight difference between native and non-native writers in terms of the placement of thesis statement, where the non-native writers tended to use a single sentence paragraph as the thesis statement as well as to begin the essays, while native writers preferred to use two or more multi sentence paragraphs. This study proves that professional writings such as newspaper opinion articles follow the English rhetorical conventions; deductive, logical, and direct style as represented in the three-part structure.

Initial studies show that there are some translations of literary works (from Indonesian to English) where the quality of the translation is questionable due to the loss of information, the addition of information, and the skewing of information. This is the main reason why this research was made. In this research we sought to assess the translation classification and quality of the English version of the novel ‘Laskar Pelangi’ (The Rainbow Troops). The translation classification of Falk et al. (2011)was employed. The translation quality was analyzed using the framework by Nababan et al. (2012). The research employed a documentation technique of descriptive qualitative study. The study found that among 3556 (words, phrases and sentences) data there are 1889 data classified as loss of information, 1527 data categorized as addition of information, and 140 data labeled as skewing of information. The translation quality of this novel was found to be less qualified since its accuracy and acceptability were both low and readability was found to be medium. In order to improve the accuracy, acceptability and readability of a translation, the authors suggest that the translator should have both good translation capabilities as well as cultural understanding of both the source language and target language.

Authors: Mahmud Che Ton binti , Gopal Revathi 
Published: April 2018

This paper aims to analyse Form One students’ ability in reading prose. A qualitative research method was carried out involving 6 average ability students. The prose “Fair’s Fair” byNarinder Dhami was used as an instrument to gauge students’ ability in oral reading. The assessment carried out on the reading is miscue analysis, a tool to measure oral reading accuracy at the word level by identifying when and the ways in which the students deviates from the text while reading aloud. Miscues analysed are insertions, hesitation, omission, repetition and substitution. Miscues that maintain the meaning of the sentences are the participants’ strengths while miscues which disrupt the meaning of the sentences are the participants’ weaknesses. The data collected are analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings show that the percentage of strengths outweighed the percentage of weaknesses for all the participants on the occurrences of miscues. The students’ reading behaviour has provided insights into their language cueing system and the strategies they use during the reading process to comprehend a text.

Berdasarkan data hujan dari satelit TRMM tanggal 14 Februari 2016 terpantau kejadian hujan di wilayah Jakarta Timur dan Jakarta Selatan dengan intensitas 30–40 mm/h pada siang hingga sore hari. Kejadian hujan ini menyebabkan adanya genangan di beberapa titik di wilayah tersebut. Jika dilihat dari parameter keluaran radar, pada saat terjadi hujan maka nilai untuk setiap parameter sebagai berikut; untuk parameter rain terukur sebesar 20–30 mm/h. Parameter reflektivitas (Zh) berkisar 25-35 dBz yang menunjukkan bahwa hujan yang terjadi adalah hujan dengan sifat moderate, parameter Zdr berkisar 2–2,5 menunjukkan ukuran butir droplet hujan (D) > 2 mm , parameter beda perambatan fase (fdp) berkisar 200–250 dan nilai beda spesifik fase (Kdp) berkisar 0.4–2 yang membuktikan bahwa konsentrasi droplet hujan di wilayah tersebut cukup tinggi, serta nilai parameter koefisien korelasi (rhv) sebesar 0.85–1 yang menandakan bahwa partikel yang tertangkap radar adalah partikel hidrometeorologi. Parameter terakhir, kecepatan (V) bernilai positif 0–10 m/s yang menandakan partikel bergerak menjauhi radar dengan kecepatan yang tidak terlalu besar. AbstractDual Polarization Radar is used on Intensive Observation Period (IOP) activities that was held on Januari 18 – Februari 16, 2016 at Puspiptek Serpong. Based on TRMM satellite data on February 14 2016, rainfall event is observed in East Jakarta and South Jakarta with the intensity of 30-40 mm/h in the afternoon. This rainfall caused inundation at some point in the region. When viewed from the radar output parameter during rain, the values for each parameter as follows; Rain ranges from 20-30 mm/h. Reflectivity (Zh) ranges from 25-35 DBZ which showed that the rain occurred was the rain with moderate nature, ZDR ranges from 2-2.5 indicates the grain size droplet of rain (D)> 2 mm, different propagation phase (fdp) ranges from 200-250 and the specific value of the phase difference (KDP) ranges from 0.4-2, which proves that the droplet concentration of precipitation in the region is quite high, and the value of the correlation coefficient (rhv) of 0.85-1 indicating that the particles which is captured by radar are hydrometeorology particles. Last parameter, velocity (V) is positive 0-10 m/s which indicates that the particles moves away from the radar at a not too large pace.
