Proporsi kejadian obesitas sentral di Kelurahan Plalangan pada tahun 2013 sebanyak 61,7% (pada wanita dewasa). Usia dewasa merupakan faktor risiko dari obesitas sentral, prevalensi obesitas sentral tahun 2013 pada kelompok usia 25-34 tahun (22,9%) dan 35-44 tahun (33,5%).

Kata kunci : faktor risiko, obesitas sentral, usia dewasa Abstract Semarang City has a prevalence of central obesity of 36.3% in 2013. The proportion of central obesity in Kelurahan Plalangan in 2013 is 61.7% (in adult women). Adult age is a risk factor for central obesity, the prevalence of central obesity in 2013 in the 25-34 year age group (22.9%) and 35-44 years (33.5%). The purpose of this study to determine the factors associated with the incidence of central obesity at adult age. The type of this study was observational analytic with cross sectional design involving 102 samples. The research instrument used is questionnaire and measuring instrument. Data analysis using Chi-square test. The results showed that p value of sex (p = 0,001), knowledge level (p = 0,159), education level (p = 0,024), job type (p = 0,658), marital status (p = 0,144) p = 0,003), physical activity (p = 0,000), smoking status (p = 0,409), and caloric intake (p = 0,001). The conclusions of this study are the relationship between sex, education level, hereditary history, physical activity, and caloric intake with central obesity occurrence in adulthood.

Audit Committee Accounting Expert and Earnings Management with “Status” Audit Committee as Moderating Variable

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the effect of accounting expert of audit committee on earnings management. This research also assesses the role of audit committee on earnings management with audit committee status as moderating variable. The population is all of firm’s which listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. Purposive sampling is used to collect data. Data used financial statements and annual report companies from Indonesia Stock Exchange website. Moderated regression analysis (MRA) is used to analyze the hypothesis. The result shows that accounting expert of audit committee has negative effect on earnings management. Yet, variable of audit committee status cannot moderate the relationship between accounting expert of audit committee and earnings management in Indonesia.

Development of assessment instruments to measure critical thinking skills

Abstract: Assessment instruments that is commonly used in the school generally have not been orientated on critical thinking skills. The purpose of this research is to develop assessment instruments to measure critical thinking skills, to test validity, reliability, and practicality. This type of research is Research and Development. There are two stages on the preface step, which are field study and literacy study. On the development steps, there some parts, which are 1) instrument construction, 2) expert validity, 3) limited scale tryout and 4) narrow scale try-out. The developed assessment instrument are analysis essay and problem solving. Instruments were declared valid, reliable and practical.

An uncertain chromatic number of an uncertain graph based on $$\alpha $$ α -cut coloring

Abstract: An uncertain graph is a graph in which the edges are indeterminate and the existence of edges are characterized by belief degrees which are uncertain measures. This paper aims to bring graph coloring and uncertainty theory together. A new approach for uncertain graph coloring based on an $$\alpha $$ -cut of an uncertain graph is introduced in this paper. Firstly, the concept of $$\alpha $$ -cut of uncertain graph is given and some of its properties are explored. By means of $$\alpha $$ -cut coloring, we get an $$\alpha $$ -cut chromatic number and examine some of its properties as well. Then, a fact that every $$\alpha $$ -cut chromatic number may be a chromatic number of an uncertain graph is obtained, and the concept of uncertain chromatic set is introduced. In addition, an uncertain chromatic algorithm is constructed. Finally, a real-life decision making problem is given to illustrate the application of the uncertain chromatic set and the effectiveness of the uncertain chromatic algorithm.

Cognitive Behaviour Group Counseling with Self-Instruction and Cognitive Restructuring Techniques to Improve Students’ Self-Confidence

Abstract: The lack of method in improve student self-confidence was the background of this study. The researchers was investigating the effect of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy group counseling with self-instruction and cognitive restructuring techniques to improve students' self-confidence. The research method used was pretest and posttest design quasi-experiment, test design repeated measure ANOVA by involving 16 students as sample who were selected by random sampling from 75 students. The results showed that cognitive restructuring and self-instruction technique is effective to improve the self-confidence. After comparing the the result of both techniques, self-instruction was higher than cognitive restructuring technique to improve students' self-confidence.
