Geriatric prescribing in the medical wards of a teaching hospital in Nepal.

Abstract: A retrospective study on prescribing patterns for 100 randomly selected geriatric patients admitted over a period of 1 year to the medical wards of the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in Nepal showed that polypharmacy was prevalent. During a hospital stay, 73% patients received more than five, 54% received more than eight, and 24% received more than nine drugs concurrently. Although the average drug exposure per patient during a hospital stay was found to be 11.2, this figure would actually go up to 14.5 if all the active ingredients of the fixed-dose combination products prescribed (15.4% of all drugs) were taken into account. Intravenous fluids were the most commonly prescribed drugs and were given to 91% of the patients. Antibiotics (excluding metronidazole and antituberculous drugs) were given to over three-quarters (77%) of the patients. Ciprofloxacin was the most commonly prescribed antibiotic. Of the 42 patients treated with this drug, 31 (73.8%) received it intravenously, either for a part of or throughout the course. This antibiotic was prescribed concurrently with theophylline in 14 patients without the facility for monitoring plasma-theophylline levels. It was also administered at the same time as antacid in nine patients. Nearly half (46.4%) of the drugs were prescribed by brand or proprietary names. The prescribing error of leaving the prescription card undated or unsigned when prescribing or stopping drugs was found to be high. The results of this survey indicate that there is considerable scope for improving geriatric prescribing practices in the medical wards of TUTH. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Flashover from surface charge distribution on alumina insulators in vacuum

Abstract: Surface charge distributions of disk type aluminas held between a backside electrode (alumina holder) and a needle electrode to be excited by an impulse voltage (rise time 64 /spl mu/s, wave tail 700 /spl mu/s) were measured. The measurement of surface charge distribution on the whole surface area of alumina YSA998 and UHA99 after impulse voltage application revealed that the surface charging can be initiated either from the anode or from the cathode triple junction. The charging initiated from the anode triple junction (for positive polarity) produced positive charge at the anode region and the density is dependent on the applied voltage, while the charging initiated from the cathode triple junction region (for negative polarity) produced negative charge around the cathode region. For positive polarity, the critical values of charge density to the flashover for alumina YSA998 and UHA98 are 5.70 and 17.2 /spl mu/C/m/sup 2/, respectively.

Associations between HLA-DRB1 alleles and leprosy in an Indonesian population

Abstract: Pour rechercher si la susceptibilite a la lepre, l'infection sub-clinique par le Mycobacterium leprae et la reponse d'anticorps vis-a-vis d'antigenes specifiques de M. leprae sont associes a des phenotypes HLA-DR, on a realise le typage de sequences oligonucleotidiques specifiques de HLA-DRB1 et DQA1 et des tests d'anticorps chez 79 malades de la lepre (41 TT/BT et 38 LL/BL) et 50 temoins en bonne sante provenant d'une population javanaise de Yogyakarta, en Indonesie. DRB1*02 etait associe a LL/BL [odds ratio (OR) 2.54, limites de confiance (LC) a 95% 0.97-9.78, p = 0.037 et risque attribuable (RA) 41.5%], mais pas avec TT/BT (p > 0.05). HLA-DRB1*12 etait associe negativement avec la lepre (soit LL/BL, soit TT/BT [OR 0.33-0.35, p < 0.05, fraction attribuable (FA) 58.8%-65.3%]. Aucune association significative n'a ete trouvee avec le type HLA-DRB ou DQA1, le taux d'anticorps anti-M. leprae et l'infection subclinique par M. leprae. Ces donnees indiquent que dans cette population la susceptibilite a la lepre lepromateuse est associee a HLA-DRB1*02, tandis que la resistance a la lepre est associee a HLA-DRB1*12. Ces associations ne vont pas en parallele avec des associations des memes types HLA avec le taux d'anticorps anti-M. leprae. Finalement, les resultats de cette etude supportent egalement la notion que l'infection par M. leprae n'est pas associee par elle-meme avec les alleles HLA-DRB1 ou DQA1.

Analisis Nilai Tambah Informasi Laporan Arus Kas

Abstract: The Indonesian Institute of Accountants published the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.Z "Cash Flow Statement" requires companies to publish the Cash Flow Statement starts in 1994. Similar requirement has also been required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the USA in 1989. The required Cash Flow Statement contains cash flow information, separated into Total Cash Flow, Cash Flow From Operations, Cash Flow From Investing Activities, and Cash Flow From Financing Activities. The financial statements issued periodically by companies now consist of a balance sheet, an income statement, a statement of retained earnings, and a cash flow statement Cash Flow Statement could be prepared based on two different approaches, direct and indirect methods. The indirect method of preparing cash flow statement is performed by adjusting profit or loss amount in the income statement bynoncash transactions, investment and financing activities. By using this method, therefore, cash flow information logically will have relationships with income statement information, at least cash flow from operation with income from operation. The problem is, publication of cash flow statement is expected to add value to the users of financial statements. If the new information is related to information that is already provided by the income statement, then, the objectives of issuing cash Sow statement would not be achieved. This study evaluates relationships and similarity of the two information (Le. income statement and cash Sow) using data from 62 public manufacturing companies. The results of conelation and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests show that income statements information is highly conelated but do have significant differences with cash Bow information. Therefore, the conclusion is that there is additional value mat is obtained by users of financial statements. The accounting authority has conectly requires the publication of cash flow statement.

Pengukuran kinerja perusahaan dengan balanced scorecard: bentuk, mekanisme, dan prospek aplikasinya pada bumn

Abstract: Balanced Scorecaid (BSC), sebagaimana dituturkan oleh penciptanya yaitu Robert S. Kaplan dan David P. Norton (Kaplan dan Norton, 19% A), bermula dari suatu penelitian satu tahun pada selusin perusahaan-Advanced Micro Devices, American Standard, Apple Computer, Bell South, CIENA, Conner Peripherals, Coy Research, Du Pont, Electronic Data Systems, General Electric, HewlettPachard, dan Shell Canada pada tahun 1990 disponsori oleh Nolan Norton Institute, lembaga penelitian milik KPMG. Penelitian itu berjudul "Measuring Performance in the Organization of the Future," dan David Norton, CEO dari Nolan Norton, bertindak sebagai ketua tim peneliti sementara Bob Kaplan menjadi konsultan akademisnya. Studi itu dimotivasi oleh keyakinan bahwa model pengukuran kinerja perusahaan melalui akuntansi keuangan tidak lagi memadai dan bahkan bisa menghambat kemampuan perusahaan menciptakan nilai ekonomis di masa yang akan datang. Motivasi ini tentu mengingatkan kita pada buku Johnson dan Kaplan berjudul "Relevance Lost' (1987) yang menceritakan perkembangan akuntansi manajemen yang cenderung lebih memenuhi selera sofistikasi akademik daripada menjawab permasalahan rifl dalam bisnis. Temuantemuan dari studi itu diringkas dalam suatu attikel, Measures That Drive Performance!' di Harvard Business Review (HBR) edisi Januari-Februari 1992 (Kaplan dan Norton, 1992). Pengamatan lebih lanjut terhadap penerapan BSC di beberapa perusahaan menyadarkan Kaplan dan Norton bahwa BSC bisa dipakai lebih dari sekedar sebagai sistem pengukuran, melainkan juga untuk mengkomunikasikan strategi baru dan mengalign organisasi terhadap strategi baru itu. Observasi ini mereka tulis dalam artikel HBR lain dengan judul "Putting the Balanced Scorecard to Work," ( Kaplan dan Norton, 1993). Pengamatan lebih lanjut terhadap penggunaan banyak ukuran dalam BSC yang satu sama lain dirangkai bersama oleh suatu seri hubungan sebab-akibat mengantarkan mereka pada kesimpulan baru, yaitu bahwa BSC bisa dipakai untuk mengelok strategi. Tegasnya BSC adalah suatu sistem manajemen yang bisa dipakai sebagai kerangka sentral dalam berbagai proses managerial penting: penentuan gol individual dan tim, pemberian konpensasi, alokasi sumberdaya, perencanaan dan peranggaran, pemberian umpan balik strategis, dan pemberdayaan karyawan serta penumbuhan iklim belajar dalam organisasi. Perkembangan baru ini mereka laporkan dalam artikel HBR yang ketiga, "Using the Balanced Scorecard as a Strategic Management System' (Kaplan dan Norton, 1996). Dan akhirnya, laporan yang paling komprehensif tentang BSC ini mereka tulis dalam buku monograf berjudul "The Balanced Scorecard' (Kaplan dan Norton, 199 A), acuan utama penulis dalam penulisan makalah ini. Mereka berharap BSC masih akan berkembang lebih lanjut, terbukti dari pengakuan mereka bahwa monograf itu masih merapakan suatu progress report.

The effect of asymmetrical information and risk attitude on incentive schemes: a contingency approac

Abstract: This paper discusses several incentive models. Some models are only appropriate for risk neutral agents, but not for risk averse agents. For certain circumstances, a quadratic model is needed to replace a linear model The choice of which model is the appropriate one is the question addressed by this paper. Risk attitude and several aspects of asymmetric information will be discussed.

Hubungan Antara Partisipasi dengan Kepuasan Pemakai Dalam Pengembangan Sistem Berbasis Komputer: Suatu Tinjauan Dua Faktor Kontijensi

Abstract: User participation has been widely touted by the MIS community as a means to improve user satisfaction within systems development This claim, however, has not been consistently substantiated in the empirical literature. In seeking to explain such equivocal results, the effects of two contingency factorstask complexity and system complexity-on the relationship between user participation and user satisfaction were investigated. As suggested in the literature, this research tests hypotheses that these specific contingency factors should aid in identifying situations where user participation would have a strong relationship with satisfaction. Analysis of 135 respondents in different organizations indicated that user participation has direct relationship with user satisfaction. In addition, the two contingency factors task complexity and system complexity prove to be not pure moderator. Task complexity was shown to be independent predictor of user satisfaction, and system complexity to be quasi moderator of relationship between user participation and user satisfaction The results help explain the relationship between user participation and user satisfaction by suggesting the nature of the relationship under different sets of conditions. In the implications are relevant to systems developers and to academicians seeking to explain how, when, why, and where user participation is needed.

Pengaruh kategori industri terhadap price-earning (p/e) ratio dan faktor-faktor penentunya

Abstract: Hasil penelitian yang mengambil sampel tujuh jenis industri selama jangka waktu tahun 1991 sampai dengan 1996 mengindikasikan beberapa hal, yaitu (1) nilai PER rata-rata masing-masing industri menunjukkan perbedaan yang nyata, (2) perilaku PER suatu perusahaan pada industri tertentu dapat dijelaskan oleh variabel-variabel dividend payout ratio, pertumbuhan laba, return on equity, ukuran perusahaan (dinyatakan dalam variabel total assets), penjualan (diukur dengan variabel P/S ratio) dan debt equity ratio, (3) arah hubungan dan tingkat pengaruh masing-masing variabel (baik besar maupun signifikansinya) dalam menjelaskan PER berbeda antara industri satu dengan industri lainnya, dan (4) kemampuan faktor-faktor yang menjadi penentu PER untuk menjelaskan perilaku PER secara bersama-sama juga berbeda antar industri. Penelitian ini sendiri, sampai tingkat tertentu, merupakan replikasi dari penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Mpaata and Sartono (1997) terhadap sampel tujuh industri di Amerika Serikat

Keputusan keputusan stratejik untuk mengeksplorasi sikap dan perilaku konsumen

Abstract: Sikap konsumen telah terbukti menjadi prediktor bagi perilakunva. Prediksi perilaku konsumen yang didasarkan pada pendekatan statistik melibatkan empat tahapan: (1) menemukan korelasi antar variabel, (2) memfokuskan model Ajzen-Fishbein sebagai a wal bahasan, (3) mengkaji model alternatif, dan (4) mencari variabel penengah. Eksplorasi model yang mengkaitkan sikap dengan perilaku yang telah melibatkan berbagai bidang keilmuan, seperti ilmu psikologi sosial, sosiologi, dan ekonomi, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan riset keputusan, dilakukan untuk mencari pembandingan bagi kemunculan model serupa dari psikologi kognitif. Makalah ini juga membahas pemahaman tentang perilaku konsumen yang terarah pada tujuan, persiapan konsumen untuk berperilaku, struktur sikap, dan pendekatan eksperimental.

The role of T lymphocytes in Sjögren's syndrome.

Abstract: The exact role of T cells in the immunopathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) Is not well understood and is discussed herein. It seems plausible that this autoimmune disorder Is associated strongly with the functions of autoantigen-speclfic CD4 cells. T cell receptor VI3 gene usage appears to be unrestricted. Furthermore. elevated gene expression of T cell-derived cytoklnes such as IFN. Il1, Il-6. Il-10 and Il-13 seen in salivary glands of SS patients and the animal models of this disorder suggests that the course of SS may be mediated by Th1 and Th2 cells. Defining the precise role of these CD4 cells subsets in SS would certainly provide insights into the establishment of immunotherapeutic bimodal.

Child-Rearing Practices and Temperament of Children: Are They Really Determinants of Children's Aggression?

Abstract: Very few studies on children's aggression conducted in the Eastern culture, even though studies on children's aggression in the Western culture are numerous. This study attempted to examine the roles of various childrearing practices and temperament of children in contribut­ ing to children's aggression in Javanese culture. Fifty-eight preschool children and their mothers participated in this study. Data were col­ lected by means of school and home observation, and interview with the mothers. Level of maternal education, nurturant of the mothers, and several types of temperament of the children significantly predicted children's aggression. Key Words: Child-rearing practice, temperament of children, children's aggression

Peran koperasi dalam mewujudkan perekonomian yang berkeadilan sosial

Abstract: Inequality is a critical problem to Indonesian economy. Inequality is caused by natural, cultural, and structural factors. Since the beginning, the New Order tends to disregard inequality on economic structure. This article concludes that the problem solving of it should be matched with the cause. It is indeed government has been doing actions, but those actions are partial and charitable, even government tends to use those actions as a politic commodity. This article also concludes that to solve those problems, we should uphold the economic democracy. Idealistically, it can be upheld by maintaining cooperation. But, in fact, cooperation has been disappeared from the principles of Indonesian democracy. At this context, this article evaluates in what ways the government upholds cooperation as a movement of mass economy based on family atmosphere. As you will see, the solving key of this problem is on the restoration of the mass sovereignty as mandated by the constitution.

Akuntan publik dalam era perdagangan bebas

Abstract: Idea perdagangan bebas itu didasarkan ada konsep opportunity cost Menghasilkan (mengkonsumsi sesuatu barang selalu ada yakni tidak menghasilkan mengkonsusmi) barang lain. Dasar pemikirannya adalah satu masyarakat/negara memiliki sumber daya yang berbeda jumlah dan jenisnya dan negara lain. Oleh karena itu, setiap masyarakat/negara akan memperoleh keuntungan dengan melakukan spesialisasi yang didasarkan pada keunggulan relative ( comparative advantage) yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan perdagangan secara bebas. Spesialisasi cenderung meningkatkan efisiensi. Dengan demikian setiap Negara akan lemperoleh keuntungan (gains from trade) yang berupa kenaikan pendapatan dan konsumen memperoleh harga yang lebih murah alternatif barang yang lebih banyak perdagangan bebas akan merupakan motor pertumbuhan ekonomi (Trade is an engjne of growt.) Pemikiran bersebut melandasi: apabila satu negara ingin meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi maka negara tersebut tidak seharusnya menghambat perdagangan bebas, lebih-lebih apabila negara tersebut kecil sebagai "price taker" dalam perdagangan dunia. Dalam menuju perdagangan bebas (liberalisasi perdagangan) ini sering muncul masalah politik dalam pasar luar negeri, karena selalu saja ada yang dirugikan. Meskipun hal ini dapat dikompensasi namun prakteknya tidak semudah itu. Satu negara memperoleh keuntungan dari perdagangan bebas bahkan lebih besar, apabila juga diikuti oleh negara lain. Hal inilah yang mendorong negara-negara melakukan perjanjian perdagangan multilateral. Satu negara besar, dapat memperoleh keuntungan yang lebih tinggi dengan menggunakan tarif apabila negara tersebut dapat mempengaruhi harga pasar dunia. Namun negara lain tentu akan mengikutinya dengan mengenakan tarif juga. Apabila hal ini terjadi (perang tarif) semuanya malah rugi. Oleh karena itu negara besarpun cenderung akan mengurangi hambatan perdagangan. Untuk itulah maka muncul GATT dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan The World Trade Organiaation (WTO).

Pengaruh Faktor Sosial Ekonomi terhadap Pekerjaan Sampingan Masyarakat Pedesaan

Abstract: Pergeseran tenaga kerja dari sektor pertanian menuju non pertanian lambat laun pasti terjadi, khususnya di daerah pedesaan. Akan tetapi pergeseran itu membutuhkan rentang waktu.Tidak setiap petani siap untuk berpindah kerja ke sektor lain. Sektor industri kecil menjawab sebagian pertanyaan tersebut. Namun dalam proses pergeseran itu, ternyata adanya pekerjaan sampingan membawa peran penting dalam membantu masyarakat pedesaan menuju perubahan. Disamping itu, kehadiran sistem kredit pedesaan dan peluang usaha baru di pedesaan cukup membantu masyarakat desa meningkatkan taraf hidupnya. Penelitian ini menjawab seberapa pentingnya pekerjaan sampingan dalam kehidupan pedesaan, dan faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhinya.

Kajian mengenai pengaruh penanaman modal asing langsung terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan tabungan domestik indonesia tahun 1969-1994

Abstract: The objectives of mis study are: (1). to identify factors affecting the foreign direct investment (FD1) inflows into Indonesia; (2). to analyze the effects of FDI on the Indonesian economic growth (GR); and (3). to analyze the effects of the FDI on the Indonesian domestic saving (SA V). The research used time series data for 27years, from 1969 to 1994. The study used two models: (1). linear multiple regression model, and (2). a simultaneous equation system model using two equations: growth and savings equationThe estimation was completed with test of classical asumptions, test for parameter stability, test for functional form and the Granger Causality Test As a result, the effects of per capita gross domestic product (GDPN), the share of manufacturing industry in Indonesian gross domestic product (SHARE), the availability of infrastructures (INF), economic growth (GR), the availability of stalled labor (EDLAB), the exchange rate (IEXQ, and the tax incentive (TAX) on the FDI inflows into Indonesia was positive, but the effect of International interest rates (LIBOR) on the FDI inflows into Indonesia was negative. The effects of foreign aid (AID), FDI, and the growth of labor force (CLF) on GR were positive. The effects of SA V and export performance (CX) on growth were insignificant The effects of AID, FDICX, and GDPN on SA V was positive, but the effect of GR on SAV was insignificant. According to the related criteria, the models formulated above are statistically good predictors. Based on the Granger Causality test, the GR and theSAV were independent The Indonesian economic growth is driven more by FDI and AID compared to domestic savings; and the economic growth is more absorbed into consumption activities compared to savings activities.

The Effects Of Corporate Support For Information Systems Development On The Performance Of The Accountant

Abstract: This study, investigated the interacting effects of Management Support for Information Systems (MSIS), User Involvement in Information Systems Development (ISD) and Perceived Information Systems Benefits (PISB) on the performance of the accountant. The data on the four variables was collected through mail surveys requesting accountants employed in different organisations to participate in the study. Thirtyeight responses were returned from a cross section of Indonesian Organisations. The data was analysed using multiple regression models and partial derivative analyses of the regression models. To support the hypotheses, the coefficient of the interaction term in the regression had to be significant and positive. If the coefficient of the interaction was found positive, the corresponding incremental r 2 was considered statistically significant at the same probability level. The results confirmed that, the positive effects of User Involvement in Information System Development on the accountant's performance will be higher when the level of Management Support for Information Systems is high. It also showed that Management Support for Information Systems had a positive mono-tonic effect on the performance of the accountant over the entire observed range of Perceived Information Systems Benefits and that the positive effects of User Involvement in Information Systems Development on the performance of the accountant will be higher when the level of Perceived Information Systems Benefits is high. This study, is unable to prove that, the positive effects of the combination between Management Support for Information Systems and User Involvement in Information Systems Development on the performance of the accountant will be higher when the levels of Perceived Information Systems Benefits are high. This means that any level of PISB will lead to positive effects in the performance of the accountant. This was no different from the observations made by interviewees.
