Robert Audley walked slowly through the leafless grove, under the bare and shadowless trees in the grey February atmosphere, thinking as he went of the discovery he had just made. ‘I have that in my pocket-book,’ he pondered, ‘which forms the connecting link between the...

Abstract: The prevalence of soil transmitted helminth at SDN 01 Kromengan reached 48 % and higher when it’s compared to other schools in Malang Regency. Soil transmitted helminth prevalence of fourth grade students reached 61.25% and became the highest of the other classes. According to Andini (2015), it is advisable to provide a posters as a health promotion media. Since it only has a little material coverage and can’t be taken anywhere, while the facilities and infrastructure is not sufficient for other media then it is necessary to develop the appropriate media that is a pocket book. The development model used is a procedural model with adopted steps according to Sugiyono (2016). The analysis technique used is quantitative analysis technique that is descriptive analysis and qualitative analysis technique. The result of this research and development is a pocket book titled "Aku Anak Sehat Bebas Cacingan". It contains the definition of helminthiasis, soil transmitted helminth, the kinds, the dangers, the trans-mission mode, the prevention and the treatment of it. Assessment by material expert and media expert shows the percentage of 75% - 100% and categorized as feasible and highly feasible on every aspect of their assessment. The first and second trial step result shows the precentage are above 90% then categorized as highly feasible. The final product result of the "Aku Anak Sehat Bebas Cacingan" pocket book is still unclear how much impact on the increase of students knowledge, therefore it is necessary to do further research related to it.Keywords: pocket book, health promotion media, helminthiasis, soil.Abstrak: Prevalensi cacingan yang ditularkan melalui tanah di SDN 01 Kromengan mencapai 48% dan lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan sekolah lain di Kabupaten Malang. Prevalensi pada kelas IV mencapai 61,25% dan menjadi yang tertinggi dari kelas lainnya. Menurut Andini (2015), disarankan memberikan media promosi kesehatan berupa poster. Karena poster hanya memiliki cakupan materi sedikit dan tidak dapat untuk dibawa kemana-mana, sedangkan sarana dan prasarana belum memadai untuk media lain maka perlu dikembangkan media lain yaitu buku saku. Model pengembangan yang digunakan adalah model prosedural dengan mengacu langkah-langkah pengembangan menurut Sugiyono (2016). Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis kuantitatif yaitu analisis deskriptif dan teknik analisis kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian dan pengembangan ini adalah sebuah buku saku dengan judul “Aku Anak Sehat Bebas cacingan”. Buku saku ini berisi materi tentang pengertian cacingan, cacingan yang ditularkan melalui tanah, macamnya, bahayanya, penularannya, pencegahan dan pengobatannya. Penilaian yang dilakukan oleh ahli materi dan ahli media menunjukkan angka 75%-100% yang dikategorikan layak dan sangat layak pada setiap aspek penilaiannya. Berdasarkan hasil uji coba 1 dan 2 presentase yang dihasilkan di atas angka 90% sehingga tergolong sangat layak. Hasil produk akhir buku saku “Aku Anak Sehat Bebas Cacingan” masih belum diketahui berapa besar pengaruhnya terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan siswa, maka perlu penelitian lanjutan terkait hal tersebut.Kata Kunci: buku saku, media promosi kesehatan, cacingan, tanah.

Stromatoporoids are the principal framebuilding organisms in the patch reef that is part of the reservoir of the Normandville field. The reef is 10 m thick and 1.5 km2in area and demonstrates that stromatoporoids retained their ability to build reefal edifices into Famennian time despite the biotic crisis at the close of Frasnian time. The fauna is dominated by labechiids but includes three non-labechiid species. The most abundant species isStylostroma sinense(Dong) butLabechia palliseriStearn is also common. Both these species are highly variable and are described in terms of multiple phases that occur in a single skeleton. The other species described areClathrostromacf.C. jukkenseYavorsky,Gerronostromasp. (a columnar species), andStromatoporasp. The fauna belongs in Famennian/Strunian assemblage 2 as defined by Stearn et al. (1988).

(Ed. note:Encouraged by the success of the more informal approach in Christy's presentation, we tried an even more extreme experiment in this session, I-D. In essence, Kraft held the floor continuously all morning, and for the hour and a half afternoon session, serving as a combined Summary-Introductory speaker and a marathon-moderator of a running discussion on the line spectrum of cepheids. There was almost continuous interruption of his presentation; and most points raised from the floor were followed through in detail, no matter how digressive to the main presentation. This approach turned out to be much too extreme. It is wearing on the speaker, and the other members of the symposium feel more like an audience and less like participants in a dissective discussion. Because Kraft presented a compendious collection of empirical information, and, based on it, an exceedingly novel series of suggestions on the cepheid problem, these defects were probably aggravated by the first and alleviated by the second. I am much indebted to Kraft for working with me on a preliminary editing, to try to delete the side-excursions and to retain coherence about the main points. As usual, however, all responsibility for defects in final editing is wholly my own.)

Pecker:The topic to be considered today is the continuous spectrum of certain stars, whose variability we attribute to a pulsation of some part of their structure. Obviously, this continuous spectrum provides a test of the pulsation theory to the extent that the continuum is completely and accurately observed and that we can analyse it to infer the structure of the star producing it. The continuum is one of the two possible spectral observations; the other is the line spectrum. It is obvious that from studies of the continuum alone, we obtain no direct information on the velocity fields in the star. We obtain information only on the thermodynamic structure of the photospheric layers of these stars–the photospheric layers being defined as those from which the observed continuum directly arises. So the problems arising in a study of the continuum are of two general kinds: completeness of observation, and adequacy of diagnostic interpretation. I will make a few comments on these, then turn the meeting over to Oke and Whitney.

A new 24-inch/36-inch//3 Schmidt telescope, made by C. Zeiss, Jena, has been installed since 30 August 1962, at the N. Copernicus University Observatory in Toruń. It is equipped with two objective prisms, used separately, one of crown the other of flint glass, each of 5° refracting angle, giving dispersions of 560Å/mm and 250Å/ mm respectively.

Abstract Michael Tomasello explains the human sense of obligation by the role it plays in negotiating practices of acting jointly and the commitments they underwrite. He draws in his work on two models of joint action, one from Michael Bratman, the other from Margaret Gilbert. But Bratman's makes the explanation too difficult to succeed, and Gilbert's makes it too easy.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

My talk will be on the oblique rotator model which was first proposed by Stibbs (1950), and since received success and further developments. I shall present two different attempts at describing a star according to this model and the first results obtained in the framework of a Russian-French collaboration in order to test the precision of the two methods. The aim is to give the best possible representation of the element distributions on the Ap stellar surfaces. The first method is the mathematical formulation proposed by Deutsch (1958-1970) and applied by Deutsch (1958) to HD 125248, by Pyper (1969) to α2CVn and by Mégessier (1975) to 108 Aqr. The other one was proposed by Khokhlova (1974) and used by her group.

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
