Authors: Ernawati Endang 
Published: April 2016

Article analyzed student’s difficulties and abilities in writing their final projects, which were undergraduate theses and undergraduate paper conducted by some students at the English Department, Bina Nusantara University. This was a preliminary study to support an appropriate student guideline in writing their final project. The study was conducted by applying qualitative methods that was by analyzing the four theses and one paper in terms of their format: titles, introduction, theoretical background, analysis, conclusion, bibliography, and paper rubric to analyze the contents. It can be concluded that generally, students, guided by their mentor/lecturer, understand the final paper guidelines and they are able to apply it in their thesis and paper. But, there are still lack of clarity and relevancy in expressing their ideas properly, and their ability in writing in both English and Bahasa Indonesia must be improved. These problems can be overcome by socializing the writing guidelines to both students and lecturers, providing them with critical thinking skills, cooperation with library that will guide them in information literacy skills, and language center that will improve their writing skills.

Authors: Sing Tjoo Hong , Kalingga Felicia Andrey 
Published: April 2016

Many researchers have said that there are differences in the ways people give direction between males and females, especially in spatial task (cardinal directions, topography, mileage, building, right/left markers) (e.g., Lawton, 2001; Dabbs et al., 1998). Here, the thesis investigates what differences occur between both genders in giving direction. The respondents are 25 females and 25 males of fifth semester Binus University students majoring in English Literature. The respondents answered with a certain route from Binus’s Anggrek Campus to Senayan City. The study was conducted by qualitative and quantitative method. From the data analysis, the writer discovered that gender does affect in selecting the key words in explaining direction it is found that there were differences in choosing key words in giving direction between females and males. The difference is women use more than twice spatial references than men do. In terms of verbal abilities, it was confirmed that female use longer explanation. However, in other aspects such as serial orientation and maintenance words, the result is inconclusive.

Published: April 2016

Since Mandarin Language is started to be implemented at schools, many schools begin the learning process of this language. Unfortunately, they do not consider the teacher’s ability in delivering the knowledge. There are a lot of teachers without the basic knowledge of Mandarin but they do the learning activity of this language so that it is undeniable that they found a lot of difficulties in class. Those teachers are not able to transfer the knowledge totally as well as they actually can do. This situation describes negative side to the students related to their studies. In implementing Mandarin class, schools must have specific purpose, nevertheless, it will be much better if the schools consider as well the benefit for the students after they have the class. In accordance to the writer’s experiences since 2006 until now, she tries to describe several facts happening at schools which provide the Mandarin class. The writer use process standard as the reference in writing this paper. She hopes the experiences she writes will be able to give valuable contribution in order to the improvement of teaching and learning process of Mandarin language in the future.
Monkey Dance Transformation And Displacement: From Traditional Performance To Urban Everydayness
Authors: Sutandio Anton 
Published: April 2016

This research attempts to investigate how the monkey dance, a traditional mobile performance from village to village, transforms and displaces itself into a semi-permanent urban street performance as the effect of modernization and globalization. The research is closely relevant to the theme of the everyday life on the relation between art and the social. Doger monyet (monkey dance) performance has always been regarded as the marginal art/culture. Its place has always been among the mid-lower class of society, thus when it changes its mode and place of performance, questions and curiosity arises. This phenomenon requires a re-examination of the cultural transformation effect to everyday life. This research attempts to answer several issues regarding the phenomena: how the performance negotiates its way to the urban everyday life and its everydayness; how it manages to place itself within the urban space; how it deals with the authority and the urban dwellers, and what its future is going to be like in the new space.

Published: April 2016

Setsuzokujoshi is a particle that shows the relationship between sentences, as well as having an important role in sentences. What characterizes setsuzokujoshi is its position which is always located between two sentences. Setsuzokujoshi, which is part of particles in Japanese, has many types. In this study, the researcher will limit the research on the use of それから, そして, それに contained in the newspaper articles of asahi.com website. The research method used is descriptive and library methods. This study intends to determine the function of setsuzokujoshi それ から, そして, それに and whether it can replace each other in a sentence and that Japanese language learners can determine the apparent similarities and differences between sorekara, soshite, and soreni, so that Japanese language learners can use them correctly. After analyzing the data, it is found that some conclusions namelyそして is used to strengthen problems of a topic of conversation because there is awareness of the speaker. It is often used when combining a topic of conversation. While それ から is reinforcing actions in sequence-based. That is, there will be a second activity to be performed or occurring after the first activity is completed. それに has a function to add anything else to a case. Because それ から has functions similar to そして, there is a possibility for そしてto be replaced by それ から or vice versa.
Life Skills of Adolescents According to Internet Usage
Authors: Anuradha K. 
Published: April 2016

Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and psychological human development that generally begins with the onset of physiologically normal puberty to the age of legal adulthood. This period of development corresponds roughly to the period between the ages of 10 and 19 years, which is consistent with the World Health Organization’s definition of ‘adolescence’. During this period adolescents need life skills to face the realities of life. Life skills help the young people to take positive actions to protect themselves and to promote health and meaningful social relationship. Social media like internet is playing a major role in maintaining social relations by becoming an integral part of many adolescents’ lives. The Internet can be known as a kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can come together. The present study was conducted to assess the life skills of adolescents according to the usage of internet. The sample were adolescent students studying 7th, 8th and 9th standards in Chittoor district. Multi-stage stratified random sampling technique was used to collect the data. In the first stage, one private and one Govt. school were identified randomly from four towns of Chittoor district Viz., Chittoor, Madanapalle, Srikalahasti and Tirupati. In the next stage 7th, 8th and 9th standard students were selected from each school giving equal choice to girls and boys using systematic random sampling technique. Thus, 90 students from each school, 180 students from each town and 720 from four towns constituted the sample of data collection. The tools used were Internet Usage Questionnaire and Life Skills Self Rating Scale. Adolescents differed significantly in their life skills score based on their internet usage. Comparatively low internet users have more life skills score than heavy internet users. Results also revealed that there was significant negative correlation between amount of time spent in internet usage and life skills scores of adolescents. Int. J. Soc. Sci. Manage.

OBJECTIVE
Mechanical thrombectomy is standard of care for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. However, limited data are available from assessment of outcomes of FDA-approved devices. The objective of this study is to compare clinical outcomes, efficacy, and safety of non–stent retriever and stent retriever thrombectomy devices.

METHODS
Between January 2008 and June 2014, 166 patients treated at Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience for acute ischemic stroke with mechanical thrombectomy using Merci, Penumbra, Solitaire, or Trevo devices were retrospectively reviewed. Primary outcomes included 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, recanalization rate (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [TICI score]), and incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs). Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression determined predictors of mRS Score 3–6, mortality, and TICI Score 3.

RESULTS
A total of 99 patients were treated with non–stent retriever devices (Merci and Penumbra) and 67 with stent retrievers (Solitaire and Trevo). Stent retrievers yielded lower 90-day NIH Stroke Scale scores and higher rates of 90-day mRS scores ≤ 2 (22.54% [non–stent retriever] vs 61.67% [stent retriever]; p < 0.001), TICI Score 2b–3 recanalization rates (79.80% [non–stent retriever] vs 97.01% [stent retriever]; p < 0.001), percentage of parenchyma salvaged, and discharge rates to home/rehabilitation. The overall incidence of ICH was also significantly lower (40.40% [non–stent retriever] vs 13.43% [stent retriever]; p = 0.002), with a trend toward lower 90-day mortality. Use of non–stent retriever devices was an independent predictor of mRS Scores 3–6 (p = 0.002), while use of stent retrievers was an independent predictor of TICI Score 3 (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Stent retriever mechanical thrombectomy devices achieve higher recanalization rates than non–stent retriever devices in acute ischemic stroke with improved clinical and radiographic outcomes and safety.

Published: April 2016

OBJECTIVE
Because the surgical strategies for primary and metastatic spinal tumors are different, the respective associated costs and morbidities associated with those treatments likely vary. This study compares the direct costs and 90-day readmission rates between the resection of extradural metastatic and primary spinal tumors. The factors associated with cost and readmission are identified.

METHODS
Adults (age 18 years or older) who underwent the resection of spinal tumors between 2008 and 2013 were included in the study. Patients with intradural tumors were excluded. The direct costs of index hospitalization and 90-day readmission hospitalization were evaluated. The direct costs were compared between patients who were treated surgically for primary and metastatic spinal tumors. The independent factors associated with costs and readmissions were identified using multivariate analysis.

RESULTS
A total of 181 patients with spinal tumors were included (63 primary and 118 metastatic tumors). Overall, the mean index hospital admission cost for the surgical management of spinal tumors was $52,083. There was no significant difference in the cost of hospitalization between primary ($55,801) and metastatic ($50,098) tumors (p = 0.426). The independent factors associated with higher cost were male sex (p = 0.032), preoperative inability to ambulate (p = 0.002), having more than 3 comorbidities (p = 0.037), undergoing corpectomy (p = 0.021), instrumentation greater than 7 levels (p < 0.001), combined anterior-posterior approach (p < 0.001), presence of a perioperative complication (p < 0.001), and longer hospital stay (p < 0.001). The perioperative complication rate was 21.0%. Of this cohort, 11.6% of patients were readmitted within 90 days, and the mean hospitalization cost of that readmission was $20,078. Readmission rates after surgical treatment for primary and metastatic tumors were similar (11.1% vs 11.9%, respectively) (p = 0.880). Prior hospital stay greater than 15 days (OR 6.62, p = 0.016) and diagnosis of lung metastasis (OR 52.99, p = 0.007) were independent predictors of readmission.

CONCLUSIONS
Primary and metastatic spinal tumors are comparable with regard to the direct costs of the index surgical hospitalization and readmission rate within 90 days. The factors independently associated with costs are related to preoperative health status, type and complexity of surgery, and postoperative course.
‘Sie lieber Hans Brandenburg’. Gertrud Leistikow and Hans Brandenburg
Authors: Boer Jacobien de 
Published: April 2016

Hans Brandenburg (1885–1968) was one of the first authors of his time to write seriously about modern dance. His book Der moderne Tanz (Modern dance) can be seen as an important source for dance historians. The best known contemporary dancers are discussed as are the schools that Brandenburg considered of relevance for this new art. Brandenburg seems to have been especially impressed by the dancer Gertrud Leistikow (1885–1948) with whom he and his wife Dora Brandenburg-Polster corresponded regularly from 1912 onwards. 1 He regarded her as a great artist, a genius even. It is remarkable that the career of Gertrud Leistikow has remained relatively underexposed, which may also be the reason for various misconceptions about her. 2 One of these is that she was a Nackttänzerin (nude dancer), ashamed of her face and wearing masks or veils to hide it. 3 Using Brandenburg's works and his correspondence with Leistikow (of which only the letters written by Leistikow survive) this essay evaluates Leistikow's role in the emergence of modern dance, deals with misunderstandings and also provides some explanations for her disappearance in obscurity.
Design of high density SiP for complex computing system in micro SD format
Authors: Baratt Chris 
Published: April 2016

This paper addresses the design process for the miniaturization of a complex computing system within the micro SD format. The complete device is capable of running a Linux OS in a standalone mode.
The process is illustrated by a real design example that has been taken through all the steps from architecture through a PCB hardware prototype to a fully integrated miniature SIP solution.
The design process starts with a detailed architecture definition describing in detail the individual functions that must be implemented within the design. Once the architecture has been defined a detailed schematic is created, in which care is taken to ensure that all the components will be available in die format or low profile WLCSP so as to fit the low profile of the micro SD card.
Prior to starting detail design of the SiP a complete working prototype must be constructed using packaged parts mounted on a PCB. This step ensures that the complete system is functional and any firmware, OS development or software can be tested independently of the SiP. This breadboard also allows for experimentation on passive BoM reduction, a necessary step towards reducing component count prior to SiP integration.
A revised schematic for the SiP is created in which the packaged components are replaced by bare die equivalents with all the individual bond pads. Prior to this step negotiations have to be made with all bare die suppliers to confirm availability and obtain detailed information concerning the die pad layout and technology.
Appropriate substrate technology choice has to be made. Miniaturization of complex heterogeneous SiPs requires best in world class substrates. In this case extremely high definition 6-layer build up substrates were required with complex plating techniques for wire-bonding compatibility.
The detailed design is carried out using standard PCB or SIP layout tools. In the design example a total of 6 dies, 4 packaged parts and 40 small chip SMTs were integrated. A memory stack of 3 dies plus the 6 layer substrate and over-mold was integrated within the maximum height of 0.8mm. This required the use of state of the art Film on Wire with dies thinned to less than 80im. Signal integrity simulations of the substrate are made at this stage for critical parts of the system.
The debug process of such complex designs requires constant interaction between breadboard performance and SIP performance to determine root causes for potential failure of the SiP. Since the design has 1000 nets of which only 35 are visible on the SIP, probing is impossible.
In the actual design example the miniature micro SD SiP is fully functional and operates as a stand-alone Linux computer.
High-voltage electrocution causing bulbar dysfunction

Published: April 2016

ABSTRACTElectrical shock can result in neurological complications, involving both peripheral and central nervous systems, which may present immediately or later on. High-voltage electrical injuries are uncommonly reported and may predispose to both immediate and delayed neurologic complications. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who experienced a high-voltage electrocution injury, subsequently developed bulbar dysfunction and spontaneously recovered. We describe the development of bulbar palsy following a significant electrical injury, which showed no evidence of this on magnetic resonance imaging. High-voltage electrocution injuries are a serious problem with potential for both immediate and delayed neurologic sequelae. The existing literature has no reports on bulbar dysfunction following electrocution, apart from motor neuron disease.

ABSTRACT
Context: In the absence of a community-based study on the spinal tumors in the Valley, medical records of the only Regional Neurosurgical Center are available. Aim: The aim of this study is to establish a hospital-based regional epidemiology of spinal tumors in the Valley since the data are derived from a single institution. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 531 malignant and nonmalignant tumors of spinal cord, its coverings and vertebrae, which were managed in a Regional Neurosurgical Center under a standard and uniform medical-protocol over 30-year period from 1983 to 2014. Results: The hospital-based incidence for all spinal tumors was 0.24/100,000 persons per year. The malignant spinal cord and vertebral tumors comprised 32.58% (173/531) of all tumors, and benign spinal cord and vertebral tumors comprised 67.42% (358/531). The extradural–intradural tumors such as metastatic lesions and primary malignant vertebral tumors were on rise with 16.38% (87/531) cases. The children below 18 years were 5.46% (29/531), of which 55.17% (16/29) were below 9 years. The most common primary bone malignancy was multiple myeloma (54.54% =12/22). Histopathologically, the most common metastatic deposit in the spinal canal was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (24.61% =16/65). A mortality of 3.20% (17/531) was noted. Recurrences were noted in 4.90% (26/531), and adjuvant therapies were given to 16.38% (87/531) patients. Conclusion: The malignant spinal cord and vertebral tumors, especially metastatic deposits, are on rise in elderly population. The surgical outcome, in terms of recovery and spinal stability, of benign tumors, is comparatively better than malignant ones. The study reveals a low regional incidence (hospital-based) of spinal tumors.
From Methodology to Methodography: A Study of Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning in Practice
Authors: Greiffenhagen Christian , Mair Michael , Sharrock Wes 
Published: April 2016

Despite the huge literature on the methodology of the social sciences, relatively little interest has been shown in sociological description of social science research methods in practice, i.e., in the application of sociology to sociological work. The overwhelming (if not exhaustive) interest in research methods is an evaluative and prescriptive one. This is particularly surprising, since the sociology of science has in the past few decades scrutinised almost every aspect of natural science methodology. Ethnographic and historical case studies have moved from an analysis of the products of science to investigations of the processes of scientific work in the laboratory. Social scientists appear to have been rather reluctant to explore this aspect of their own work in any great depth. In this paper, we report on a ‘methodography’, an empirical study of research methods in practice. This took the form of a small-scale investigation of the working practices of two groups of social scientists, one with a predominantly qualitative approach, the other involved in statistical modelling. The main part of the paper involves a comparison between two brief episodes taken from the work of each, one focussing on how two researchers analyse and draw conclusions from an interview transcript, the other on how collaborators work out an agreed final version of a statistical model for combining temporal and spatial data. Based on our analysis of these examples, we raise some questions about the way in which social scientists reason through their problems, and the role that characterisations of research, as research of a particular kind (e.g., qualitative or quantitative), play in actual research practice.
