The degree of exposure to carbon monoxide is most often assessed by measuring the blood carboxyhaemoglobin saturation. This measurement is relevant to investigations of acute accidental or deliberate poisoning and of chronic exposure in a domestic or work place environment. Simple spectrophotometric methods based on differential protein precipitation or dithionite reduction are prone to interference from other haemoglobin pigments and are imprecise for low-level estimations. Automated spectrophotometric devices (CO-oximeters) that estimate simultaneously total haemoglobin, percentage oxyhaemoglobin and percentage carboxyhaemoglobin have acceptable accuracy for carboxyhaemoglobin saturation levels of > 5% and are recommended for most clinical purposes. For the investigation of low-level exposure and the detection of increased haemolysis in neonates, more sensitive methods involving the release of carbon monoxide and its measurement by gas chromatography are required. Gas chromatographic methods are also appropriate when examining post-mortem blood samples where putrefaction or heat stress has resulted in a significant change in haemoglobin composition.

Abstract The east Pacific warm pool exhibits basic-state variability associated with the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) and Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ), which affects the development of easterly waves (EWs). This study compares and contrasts composite changes in the background environment, eddy kinetic energy (EKE) budgets, and EW tracks during MJO and CLLJ events. While previous studies have shown that the MJO influences jet activity in the east Pacific, the influence of the MJO and CLLJ on the east Pacific and EWs is not synonymous. The CLLJ is a stronger modulator of the ITCZ than the MJO, while the MJO has a more expansive influence on the northeastern portion of the basin. Anomalous low-level westerly MJO and CLLJ periods are associated with favorable conditions for EW development paralleling the Central American coast, contrary to previous findings about the relationship of the CLLJ to EWs. Easterly MJO and CLLJ periods support enhanced ITCZ EW development, although the CLLJ is a greater modulator of EW tracks in this region, which is likely associated with stronger moisture and convection variations and their subsequent influence on the EKE budget. ITCZ EW growth during easterly MJO periods is more reliant on barotropic conversion than during strong CLLJ periods, when eddy available potential energy (EAPE)-to-EKE conversion associated with ITCZ convection is more important. Thus, the influence of these phenomena on east Pacific EWs should be considered distinct.

ABSTRAK The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence and to find clarity of phenomena and conclusions about the influence of leadership role, communication, and work environment on employee performance at UPTD Puskesmas Kecamatan Klari Kabupaten Karawang. This thesis is expected to contribute to the development of management science, especially as a contribution of scientific literature in human resources management, as reference material in scientific writing, as an information material, both for leaders and colleagues in District Health Office Karawang in the implementation of performance-based management, As a material consideration and input in making decisions and determine the direction of policy. The research is done by using quantitative method with descriptive and verification method, that is collecting, presenting, analyzing and doing hypothesis testing, and making conclusion and suggestion. Based on the results of the research analysis, the following conclusions are obtained: 1. The correlation of leadership (X1) with communication (X2) has a correlation coefficient value (r) of 0.512 and if interpreted by the closeness of relationship between these two variables has a fairly strong level of relationship (Sugiyono, 2005:255) and unidirectional because the value is positive. This shows that if leadership increases then communication will also increase. Conversely, if communication increases then leadership will also increase. 2. Communication correlation (X2) with work environment (X3) has correlation coefficient (r) value of 0.343 and if interpreted with the closeness of relationship of these two variables have a low level of relationship (Sugiyono, 2005:255) and unidirectional because the value is positive. This shows that if communication increases then the work environment will also increase. Conversely, if the work environment increases then communication will also increase. 3. The correlation of leadership (X1) with work environment (X3) has a correlation coefficient value (r) of 0.359 and if interpreted by the closeness of the relationship of these two variables have a low level of relationship (Sugiyono, 2005:255) and unidirectional because the value is positive. This shows that if leadership increases then the work environment will also increase. Conversely, if the work environment increases then leadership will also increase. 4. The magnitude of the influence of leadership role on employee performance is 24.4%. Based on the findings of this study can be concluded that the hypothesis of research that states "leadership has significant effect on employee performance" is acceptable. 5. The magnitude of communication effect on employee performance is 14.2%. Based on the findings of this study can be concluded that the hypothesis of research that states "communication has significant effect on employee performance" is acceptable. 6. The amount of work environment influence on employee performance is 13.4%. Based on the findings of this study it can be concluded that the research hypothesis which states "work environment contribute significantly to the performance of employees" is acceptable. 7. Simultaneously leadership (X1), communications (X2), and work environment (X3) have a significant effect on employee performance (Y) of 52.0%. The remaining 48.0% is the effect that comes from other factors. Keywords : Role of Leadership, Communication, Work Environment, Employee Performance
