Opening Address

Gentlemen, Fellowsof the Royal Society of Edinburgh,—In compliance with a special request of the Council, I come before you this evening to deliver the Address usually given at the opening of our Winter Session.This practice of annually taking stock to ascertain what business we are doing, and how we are doing it, seems to me very right and expedient. The whole Society is thus made aware whether it is retrograding or advancing,—whether it is or is not, carrying out the objects of its institution.

Successful Extubation

The technique of ultrasound is not new in medicine. Advancement of the technique, portability of the equipment and the desire of the anesthesiologist to reach to a quick diagnosis has made this an essential tool for today’s anesthesiologist. There are many areas during the perioperative period where ultrasound can play an important role in guiding otherwise blind and invasive interventions, diagnosing critical conditions, and assessing for possible anatomic variations that may lead to plan modification. The irrefutable outcome of perioperative use of ultrasound performed by anesthesiologists is increasingly being acknowledged .It has been playing a role in central venous cannulation, epidural space identification, performing peripheral nerve and chronic pain nerve blocks. Transesophageal echocardiography, airway assessment, gastric ultrasound, lung ultrasound and neuro monitoring are some of the newly introduced uses of this modality. As the ultrasound guidance is becoming standard practice of care, anesthesiologists need to develop a thorough understanding of this technology and practical skills by training themselves.Editor’s Note: This editorial was written by the respected Prof. Fazal H.

Functional Areas

The article presents current trends in delimiting an area by function and covers various research issues. The main goal of the work was achieved through the author’s method of delimiting functional areas in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, taking into account social, financial and economic, and spatial and infrastructural criteria. Among all 18 diagnostic features, the following indicators were the most useful: population density, net migration of permanent commune residents per 1000 population, non-working age population per 100 working-age, number of national economy entities on the REGON register per 1000 working-age population, number of dwellings per 1000 inhabitants, and proportion of commune agricultural land to total area. The starting point for creating a fixed classification for communes was the functional typology developed by J. Bański in 2009 at the special request of the Ministry of Regional Development. As a result of the delimitation, the following functional areas in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship were designated: urban (5), diversified urban (7), tourist and spa (2), tourism and recreation (7), agricultural and horticultural (4), agricultural production (22), semi-subsistent smallholdings (30) and multifunctional (25).

AbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini menjelaskan estetika musikal dalam pertunjukan Ronggeng Tayub, khususnya lagu Rincik-rincik yang dalam sajiannya terdapat perpaduan garap musikal karawitan Sunda dan karawitan Jawa (Banyumasan). Ronggeng Tayub merupakan salah satu bentuk kesenian rakyat di Kabupaten Ciamis dan sekitarnya. Penelaahan dilakukan melalui kajian teknik tabuhan, repertoar lagu, syair lagu, serta menelaah relasi masyarakat dengan seni karawitan dalam kaitannya dengan pertunjukan Ronggeng Tayub di wilayah perbatasan Ciamis-Cilacap. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu metode deskriptif analisis kualitatif. Teknik mengumpulkan data dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan yang didukung dengan wawancara dan perekaman kejadian guna mendapatkan validitas data yang lebih utuh dan menyeluruh. Sajian gending dalam lagu ini menghadirkan kesan kesedarhanaan yang mencerminkan konsep hidup masyarakat pendukungnya. Ronggeng Tayub memiliki bentuk pertunjukan yang sangat merakyat, menyatu, dan komunikatif dengan penontonnya. Lagu Rincik-rincik termasuk pada lagu “pesanan” dari penonton, sajian gendingnya khas, unik, dan dinamis dengan iringan instrumen gamelan salendro yang relatif sederhana.Kata Kunci: estetika musikal, rincik-rincik, ronggeng tayub, kesenian rakyat AbstractThe purpose of this study is to explain the musical aesthetic of the Ronggeng Tayub performance, especially the Rincik-rincik song, which combines Sundanese and Java musical instruments (Banyumasan). Ronggeng Tayub is folk art in District Ciamis and surrounding. The study of Rincik-rincik song includes percussion techniques, song repertoire, song poetry, and the relationship between the community and the Ronggeng Tayub. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical method. The techniques used in this study are observation, interview, and recording in order to obtain a more complete and comprehensive data validity. The performance of gending in Ronggeng Tayub presents the impression of simplicity, reflecting the concept of the life of the people. Ronggeng Tayub has a simple form of performance, blending, and communicative with the audience. Rincik-rincik is one of “special request” song from its audience, by which its gending is unique and dynamic, accompanied by a simple gamelan slendro.Keywords: aesthetic, rincik-rincik, ronggeng tayub, artfolks

Effective reasoning, analysis and communication regarding natural phenomena require the use of models to render tractable the complexities of nature. This paper attempts to put into perspective the proper roles of different types of models to maximize the effectiveness of their utilization. The advances in short term forecasting envisioned for the 1970's from full implementation of new knowledge, models and technology will materialize only if the managers and researchers join in an interagency effort to provide the operational meteorologists with the education, techniques, tools and, particularly, the challenging working environment needed to fully develop man's role in forecasting. A program to meet these requirements is outlined. The types of models discussed include: descriptive or synoptic, dynamic or analytic, numerical or physical, statistical or optimized. The uses of models discussed include: education (basic concepts), research (experimental), operations (customized). Since the operational meteorologist is responsible for the intelligent use of these types of models, he must continually update his training and properly understand the potential contributions of the models. It is anticipated that during the 1970's routine computer models will become more refined and specialized data such as trajectories and probabilities will become more common. Highly specialized products will be available from special purpose models on a special request basis as field forecasters gain access to remote terminals. Also, forecasters will have access to specialized consultants when unusual events or unusual forecast requirements arise. Background materials will be provided to the applied meteorologists so that he may gain physical understanding from educational and research models including systematic numerical experiments. Communication advances will provide for dynamic (motion picture) displays of radar, synchronous satellite, weather map and weather forecast data. Only if the operational forecasters do receive the necessary management and scientific support, will their jobs be challenging and attractive to highly motivated and qualified students; only then will the customers of specialized short term forecasts receive the benefits made feasible by science and technology.

A 7-day incubation protocol was instituted with the BACTEC 9240 system for a 1-year period to determine the times to detection of clinically relevant organisms. A total of 23,686 blood and 693 sterile body fluid cultures were received; some cultures were held longer by special request. Of 1,609 likely skin contaminants, 42 were recovered on day 5, 34 on day 6, 16 on day 7, and 5 on day 8. Of 2,803 usual pathogens, 34 were recovered on day 5, 24 on day 6, 15 on day 7 and 1 on day 8. Twenty-one of the latter organisms were considered significant laboratory isolates because they were the first isolates from the respective patients. Chart review showed that 10 of 21 were considered clinically significant, but only 3 (all yeasts) affected the treatment of the patient. Our data show that 4 days of incubation were sufficient to recover all clinically relevant bacteria and 6 days were required to recover all clinically relevant yeasts.
