ABSTRACT
Abstract: Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic disease that attacks the peripheral nerves, skin and other body tissues. A leprosy reaction is an acute episode in which leprosy occurs as a result of sudden changes in the immune system. Leprosy reactions can occur before, during, and after treatment. In type I leprosy reactions, it is very important to recognize and treat appropriately, otherwise there can be rapid and extensive nerve damage while in mild type II reactions, it can disappear immediately but severe type II reactions can persist for years. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the influence of the determinant factors of leprosy reactions based on Biological, and Psychological reactions in leprosy patients at Naob Hospital, TTU Regency. Material and Methods: This type of research is analytic survey research with cross sectional design. The population in this study was people with leprosy who experienced reactions of leprosy types I and II with a total of 65 people with leprosy. This study uses a total sampling technique, namely sampling in which the number of samples is the same as the population which is 65 people. The data analysis included univariate and bivariate with chi-square test and multivariate with logistic regression test. Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between biological reactions (Type of Leprosy, Duration of Illness and Disability), and there was a significant relationship between psychological reactions (Stress) with the incidence of leprosy reactions in the patients at Naob Hospital, TTU Regency with p-value<α (0.05). Simultaneously, the independent variable (Type of Leprosy, Duration of Illness, Disability and Stress) had an effect of 55% on the dependent variable (Leprosy Reaction) in leprosy patients at Naob Hospital, TTU Regency. The most influential independent variable is duration of illness.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Macleod syndrome is an obstructive pulmonary disease linked to the anatomical sequelae of acute viral bronchiolitis in childhood. We report an observation of a patient with a clear unilateral lung in order to discuss the diagnostic approach and to underline the difficulty of the aetiological research.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: The trapezo-metacarpal dislocation is an uncommon event. Usually caused by indirect mechanism. We present a case of a 26-year-old man patient who developed a chronic instability of the right thumb carpometacarpal joint, after two episodes of recurrent dislocation. The patient underwent rewarding management by Eaton-Littler's ligamentoplasty technique using flexor carpi radialis tendon. Functional result was satisfactory.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there are differences in bank performance at PT Bank Jatim (BPD Jawa Timur) Tbk between year 2018 and year 2019. The bank performance parameters consist of Capital, Capital Adequacy Requirement (CAR), Non Performing Loan (NPL), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Operational Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO) and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The method used is the paired sample t-test. The research results show that there is no difference between the financial performance of Bank Jatim in year 2018 and year 2019.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to study the adoption status of agricultural technologies and identify factors affecting the adoption of the technologies in the coffee-based farming system of Ethiopia. The study was conducted in major coffee-growing regions of the country: Oromia and SNNP. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select the population for the study which involved both purposive and random sampling techniques. A total of 953 sample households were selected for the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and summarize the collected data. A multivariate probit model was also engaged to estimate the factors that influenced the adoption of improved agricultural technologies (coffee, maize, and crossbreed cows/heifers). The result indicated that the adoption rate of improved coffee and maize varieties was 60 and 72%, respectively. The result also exhibited that 58% and 53% of coffee and maize land was covered by improved varieties, respectively in both regions. Alongside, on average only 6% of the farmers have adopted crossbreed cows/heifers. A relatively high adoption level of crossbred dairy technology was seen in the SNNP region (11%) compared to Oromia (3%). A multivariate model result indicated that improved coffee variety adoption is positively and significantly correlated with improved maize variety adoption and adoption of crossbreed cattle. The result implies that the adoption of improved coffee technologies enhances the adoption of other agricultural technologies. Land size, TV, and radio ownership have affected the adoption of improved coffee varieties positively and significantly. Distance to the all-weather road has a negative and significant relationship which implies that the adoption of coffee varieties declines as the farmers are located farther away from an all-weather road. Land size and education of the household head has also a positive and significant effect on the ...............................
ABSTRACT
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of bank performance of PT Bank Tabungan Pensiun Nasional Tbk (BTPN) from 2016 to 2019. The method used is the RGEC method (Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance, Earning and Capital). The results of the study show that the bank's performance from the NPL factor of bank performance in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was very healthy. The bank performance from the LDR factor in 2016, 2017, 2018 was quite healthy but in 2019 it was not healthy. From the GCG factor of BTPN bank performance in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 was at a healthy level. The performance of BTPN bank from the ROA factor in 2016, 2107, 2018 and 2019 was at a very healthy level. From the NIM factor shows that the performance of BTPN banks in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was very healthy. BTPN's performance from the CAR factor in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 was at a very healthy level. The composite value of Bank BTPN's performance in 2016, 2017 and 2018 was very healthy, while in 2019 the performance was healthy.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: A total of nine soil samples were collected at the depths of 0-10, 10-20 cm and 20-30cm respectively from oil polluted soils of Awoye and Osustech farm (Control). The soil samples were analyzed for physico-chemical and bacteriological properties that reflect soil nutrient content and fertility status in the laboratory using standard methods. The results of microbial flora in areas with and without oil spill shows little effect on the microbial populations of the soils studied. The average microbial population of the oil polluted soil was 9.9 x 103cfu/g, while that without oil-spill was 2.03 x 104cfu/g for bacteria count; average pH value in polluted soil was 5.28 while that of the control was 5.71; average electrical conductivity polluted soil samples was 78.53 while that of the control was 33.7 while moisture content levels of polluted soils was 18.5% and control 44.7%. Bacteriological analysis revealed the presence of bacteria species including; Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Aerococcus. Statistical analysis of results through the Duncan Multiple range test showed significant differences for microbial populations, electrical conductivity and moisture content of oil polluted soil and the control area (unpolluted) with no significant difference in pH of both polluted and non- polluted soils. It is then concluded that oil spills on the soils of Awoye is detrimental to the microbial population of the soil as it alters negatively the physico-chemical properties of the soil thereby lowering its microbial load and also render the soil and water unfit to support life supporting activities of man.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: The study aims to find the effect of “Code Switching” in advertisements (ads), its impact on psyche of a viewer and its effect on market. Speaking of advertisements specifically, code switching has created a great effect. It has become an essential part of “good” TV commercials. We a part of an age that is relying on technology, on the daily basis, new products are introduced in market. As a matter of fact a single person cannot get to know about every product. Manufacturers take help of advertisements for the promotion of their daily use items. Ads are planned in a way that the viewer is psychologically forced to buy the product.
