In the state budget of revenues and expenditure (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara - APBN) 2016, tax revenue is targeted to reach 85% of the total state budget. It is a very high target; therefore the workload of the Directorate General of Tax (DGT) is getting higher and larger. In response to this, it is necessary to have changes and to develop the DGT's organization along with other work units, both the changing of the administrative systems and its human resources. One of the changes is the modernization of the tax administration system that has begun in 2002. The Tax Office (TO) is an integrated part of the DGT’s organizational changing. Based on organizational diagnosis result of the tax office of Palembang Seberang Ulu using 6 variables of Weisbord model obtained mean score for all variables were 4,051. Overall, the organizing of the Tax office of Palembang Seberang Ulu could be considered as good or no problematic issues. For the goal variable, relationship variable, leadership and organizational structure variable, reward and working mechanism have been good or not in problem classification. However, the organization of the Tax office of Palembang Seberang Ulu needs to improve the understanding of the objectives/goals, relationship, leadership, organizational structure, reward and working mechanism by finding solutions to all obstacles that hinder the performance of the tax office organization of Palembang Seberang Ulu.

The paper looked at science as a systematic or step-by-step procedure requires in acquiring or obtaining knowledge that is objective, empirical and rational. The paper talked about the elements of scientific inquiry such as concepts variables, hypotheses, measurements and theories. It further highlighted the characteristics of sciences like objectivity, empiricism, universal applicability, systematic, predictability, verifiability, testability, logicality, experimentation and cumulative knowledge. Various conceptions of science were treated which includes realist conception, conventionalist conception, and traditional conception (a theory, operationalization and observation). Social research is viewed as a systematic way of search for knowledge of understanding social reality. Some types of research were identified as descriptive, analytical, applied, fundamental, quantitative, qualitative, conceptual, empirical, longitudinal, exploratory, and clinical among others. One of the scientific approach, the paper viewed quantitative research and qualitative research as having step-by-step procedures in the collection and the analysis of data collected in the field. The paper concludes that both quantitative and qualitative data are scientific with quantitative research being more rigorous related to positivist science and qualitative to non-positivist conception. The paper further suggests the need for mixed method in social research in order to overcome the shortcomings of both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

The population structure, growth, mortality and exploitation status of Euthynnus alletteratus were examined in the Gulf of Guinea between January 2015 and December 2016. Monthly length frequency data of Euthynnus alletteratus were analyzed by FiSAT II software for estimation of population parameters which include asymptotic length (L∞), specific growth level (K) and recruitment pattern to evaluate the status of the stock. Asymptotic length was 100.8 cm, and specific growth level was 0.07 yr-1, value was too low, while the growth performance index was 2.85. Total mortality (Z) by length-converted catch curve was estimated at 0.82 yr-1, fishing mortality (F) 0.61yr-1 and natural mortality (M) 0.21 yr-1. The recruitment pattern was continuous all the year with two peaks of unequal importance: the secondary appears between March and April while the main is observed from July to August. The exploitation level (E) of Euthynnus alletteratus was 0.74 that on the maximum allowable limit of exploitation (Emax) which was 0.42. The exploitation level (E>0.50) indicates that the fishing pressure on Euthynnus alletteratus is very high. Thus the status of the stock in the Gulf of Guinea seems to be surexploited

Indonesia's chemical industry is faced with the challenge of increasing its supply chain competitiveness, while the chemical industry in Indonesia generally still does not have a holistic performance measurement system in its supply chain. The objective of this research is to develop the framework of supply chain performance measurement of the chemical industry using SCOR and DMAIC models. The research stages are the selection of chemical industry supply chain indicators, benchmarking of indicators, development of the framework for supply chain performance measurement for Indonesia’s chemical industry, and the improvement of the supply chain performance. The implementation was carried out at the cases in the market leader company which produces textile dyes product in Indonesia. The result of expert consensus recommends 28 indicators of the industrial chemical supply chain. The best in class for each supply chain performance indicator become the performance target on the performance measurement framework which is developed. The results of measuring the performance of the chemical industry supply chain in the textile dyes product showed good performance at flexibility aspect, medium at cost, reliability, and asset management cost aspect, and low at responsiveness aspect. There were three critical to quality (CTQ) for responsiveness aspects; these are demand analysis, raw material issue, and breakdown machine. The recommended improvements are to provide training on demand analysis, to improve communication with the regional party, to provide alternative vendors, raw material scheduling, procurement of buffer stock for raw material critical, and scheduling preventive maintenance.

The objective of the study is to measure the dimensions of supracrestal gingival tissue in healthy human periodontium. In this study 30 dental students with clinically healthy periodontium were examined by doing sulcular probing, from the gingival margin to the top of the alveolar crest, using a UNC-15probe, at maxillary and mandibular incisors, canines, and premolars and first molars unilaterally. No statistical difference was detected (p>0.05) in comparision of mean supracrestal gingival tissue (SGT) measurements among male and females in maxillary and mandibular arch. However, comparison of mean SGT of individual tooth types in maxillary and mandibular arch showed significant difference with p value of 0.005 and 0.000 respectively. There is significant difference in the SGT dimensions in the different tooth in the same arch, whereas the male and female population showed no statistical difference in SGT measurements. Maxillary and mandibular SGT dimensions were lesser for the central incisors compared to the other teeth in the arch which were measured. Thus, indicating more bone reduction as we move posteriorly from anterior.

The aim of the study was to optimize the process parameters involved in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by aqueous leaf extract of Tabernaemontana heyneana and to evaluate the catalytic reduction of methylene blue (MB) perhaps for the first time. The various optimum parameters include boiling time for preparation of extract, concentration of extract, silver nitrate concentration, effect of pH, reaction time and temperature were analysed using UV-vis spectrophotometer. The optimized AgNPs were characterized by AFM and evaluated the catalytic activity on reduction of methylene blue. The optimized factors for synthesis of AgNPs were 10 min boiled leaf extract, 3 ml leaf extract addition to reaction mixture, 1 mM AgNO3 concentration, pH 9 of reaction mixture, reaction time 2 h and temperature 80°C. AFM characterization confirmed the oval shaped AgNPs with size 5-20 nm. The synthesized AgNPs showed a good catalytic activity on the reduction of methylene blue. Therefore, it is proposed that, the optimized parameters helps in getting hold of applications in environmental and biomedical sciences.

Cut throat injuries are usually homicidal rather than suicidal, presenting with challenging air way compromise and blood loss secondary to damage of vital structures in the neck. We present a case of cut throat injury- a suicidal attempt of a psychologically normal young adult in attempt to pacify his family dispute which was repaired with the assistance of fiberoptic endoscopy.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a clinical-biological entity characterized by a hyperinflammatory state following the deregulation of the cytotoxic immune response, causing histiocytic proliferation with significant hemophagocytic activity in the bone marrow as well as the massive release of inflammatory cytokines. The diagnosis is established by the association of nonspecific clinical and biological signs. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and laboratory presentation to determine the underlying pathologies and clarify the evolution and the prognosis of adult patients with HLH in our healthcare setting. A retrospective study of patients with HLH was conducted in the Military Teaching Hospital, Rabat, between January 2015 and January 2017. We were able to identify eight patients. Six were men, and the average age at diagnosis was 58 years. Infectious agents were responsible in 3 cases, malignant lymphoma in 3 others, one case of systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the last case etiology remains unknown. Clinical characteristics such as fever (100%), splenomegaly (62,5%), and lymphadenopathy (37,5%) were observed. Laboratory values presented with panytopenia (62, 5%), thrombopenia and anemia (100%), increased ferritin (100%), lactate dehydrogenase (87, 5%), triglycerides (62, 5%), and decreased fibrinogen (50%). Bone marrow showed hemophagocytis in all cases. The prognosis was poor. Five patients died. Absence of specific signs makes early diagnosis difficult. The prognosis varies according to the series but remains very unfavorable. Studies are needed to assess prevalence and develop a severity score and therapeutic recommendations to improve HLH prognosis

A survey of herbaceous fodder plants along the national highway from Parwanoo to Kaurik was carried out. Mostly along the national highway rural areas were situated and they used local flora for their cattle or livestock. Some of the herbaceous plant species used as fodder among the communities of these areas. In Present paper, 53 species belonging to 17 families and 44 genera were recorded and identified. The families with higher number of species were Poaceae with 29 species, Leguminosae with 5 species, Brassicaceae and Cyperaceae with 2 species, Acanthaceae, Begoniaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Commelinaceae, Compositae, Convolvulaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Datiscaceae, Oxalidaceae, Pedaliaceae, Polygonaceae, Solanaceae, Urticaceae with 1 species each. The genera represented by the higher number of species Setaria (3 species), Chrysopogon, Cyperus, Oplismenus, Paspalum, Saccharum, Trifolium (2 species) and rest of the genera comprising only one species.

Along with the rapid development of information technology the existence of the museum must also follow the existing changes, which must adapt to the needs and wants and young people. Youth segment is a huge market potential in Indonesia. This research is to explain about the implementation of experiential marketing strategy to make museum as one of tourist destination in Surabaya. Data collection techniques based on interviews with museum managers as well as from the observation of museums in the field, with attention to aspects of sense, feel, think, act and relate. The population in this study is the existing museum in Surabaya, where there are 18 museums in Surabaya, and the sample of this research is 6 museums in Surabaya (Museum of Cancer, Museum Of Sampoerna, Submarine Monument, Surabaya Museum, Health Museum, and Ethnographic Museum). This research uses qualitative research method with analytic descriptive approach, where this research only describes and analyzes existing variable that is implementation of experiential marketing at museum in Surabaya. The results showed that almost all the museums in Surabaya have not applied the concept of experiential marketing completely. In addition, almost all museums are in poor condition and still old-fashioned, and this is not suitable for the youth market. From this study it is also known that the museums in Surabaya have not been able to touch the emotional and psychological aspects of the visitors, whereas completing the visit to the museum does not feel an emotional touch and the latter will not encourage visitors to re-visit.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of using parametric multiple comparison tests (e.g. Duncan test) after Kruskal-Wallis test on type I error rate and test power. Results of simulation study showed that Kruskal-Wallis tests are nonparametric alternative of one-way analysis of variance especially when normality assumption is not satisfied. Research showed that parametric multiple comparison tests can be used then the non-parametric tests. For this propose; Duncan Method (DUNNR) is used instead of Nonparametric Dunn's method (DUNN) after Kruskal-Wallis (H) test. Random numbers from N (0,1), (3), (5,3) distributions were generated; with the various sample sizes (n=3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30), group numbers (k=3, 4, 5) and the different variance ratios ( 2=1:1:1, 1:1:4, 1:1:10) in this study, The aim of study was determination of the possibility of use parametric pair wise multiple comparison; by determination of type I error and power of tests instead of no-parametric pair wise multiple comparison tests can be used.

The study was designed to assess the performance of carbon at Malaysia. Landscape development plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. They produce a large proportion of CO2 emissions, but they also sequester and store carbon in our environment. The carbon footprint analysis is an established method for systematically quantifying carbon sinks and sources throughout the lifetime of goods and services. There are three stages of carbon contributors were identified through document review and expert’s validation, which is construction stage, operation stage and maintenance stages. The paper presents the carbon footprint analysis of landscape development stages that was recently constructed in the permonade Percint 8, Putrajaya. Field measurement was conducted and the collected data were analyzed using SMART PLS (Partial least squares). Findings of the study highlighted that construction stage give the highest significant to carbon contribution with a path coefficient 0.748. The study also shows that the construction stage is the largest contributor due to the presence of a large number of facilities and activities in landscape developments compared to the maintenance stage. Particularly this is also related to the material and equipment used during the construction stage. The study suggested that the construction stage need to be considered when developing a sustainable landscape design. Finally, the recommendations on how to reduce carbon emissions in landscape development stages especially in Malaysia were highlighted.
