One of the basic principles of experimental design is blocking, which is an important factor in the treatment of the systematic spatial variability that can be found in the edaphic properties where agricultural experiments are conducted. Blocking has a mitigating or suppressing effect on the spatial dependence in the residuals of a model, something desirable in standard linear modeling, specifically in design models. Some computer programs yield a p value associated with the blocking effect in the analysis of variance table that in many cases has been incorrectly used to discard it, and although it may improve some properties of the analysis, it may affect the independence assumption required in several models. Therefore, the present research recommends the use of the H statistic associated with the corrected blocking efficiency to show the role of blocking in modeling with the incorporation of an additional advantage rarely considered related to the suppression or mitigation of spatial dependence. With the use of the Moran index, the spatial dependence of the residuals was studied in a simple factorial design in a completely randomized and blocking field layout, which evidenced the advantages of blocking in the mitigation or suppression of the spatial dependence despite the apparently little or no importance it seems to show in the analysis of variance table.

AbstractWe present a quantum mechanical (QM) analysis of Bell’s approach to quantum foundations based on his hidden-variable model. We claim and try to justify that the Bell model contradicts to the Heinsenberg’s uncertainty and Bohr’s complementarity principles. The aim of this note is to point to the physical seed of the aforementioned principles. This is the Bohr’s quantum postulate: the existence of indivisible quantum of action given by the Planck constant h. By contradicting these basic principles of QM, Bell’s model implies rejection of this postulate as well. Thus, this hidden-variable model contradicts not only the QM-formalism, but also the fundamental feature of the quantum world discovered by Planck.

Abstract This study examined ways in which rhythmic features of movement contribute to bonding between individuals. Though previous studies have described synchrony as a form of social glue, this research extends those findings to consider the impact of fast versus slow tempo on movement synchrony. This two-part experiment examined dyadic interactions as they occurred between same-sex strangers (Study 1) and friends (Study 2). Participants were video-recorded as they engaged in 5- or 6-min chats, and synchrony was evaluated using wavelet transform via calculations of cross-wavelet coherence. Study 1 employed regression commonality analysis and hierarchical linear modeling and found that among various frequency bands, rapport between individuals was positively associated with synchrony under 0.025 Hz (i.e., slower than once every 40 s) and 0.5–1.5 Hz (i.e., once every 0.67–2 s). On the contrary, Study 2 determined that synchrony of 0.5–1.5 Hz was not impactful among friend dyads and only predictive of the motivation to cultivate a friendly relationship during interactions with strangers. These results indicate the existence of a distinctive rhythm for bonding individuals, and the role of pre-existing friendship as a moderator of the bonding effect of synchrony. However, the role of relative phase (i.e., timing of movement; same versus opposite timing) remains unclear, as the ratio of in- and anti-phase patterning had no significant influence on perceived rapport and motivation to develop relationships. On the basis of the research results, a theoretical contribution is proposed to the study of interpersonal coordination.

Gastrocolic fistulae have been described for benign conditions including penetrating peptic ulcer and complicated pancreatitis. Malignant etiology can arise from gastric or colon cancer and is a rare and late complication with an incidence of 0.3-0.4%. Usual presentation is the classic triad of weight loss, diarrhea, and feculent vomiting. Barium enema has been shown to have the highest diagnostic accuracy but endoscopy offers additional advantage of biopsy to aid in diagnosis of malignant etiology; the role of computed tomography (CT) scan is controversial. Treatment by one-stage en bloc surgical approach is the current acceptable standard of care with variable recurrence and survival rates. Adjuvant chemotherapy would be based on lymph node involvement and patient discussion.

How is load sensed by receptors, and how is this sensory information used to guide locomotion? Many insights in this domain have evolved from comparative studies since it has been realized that basic principles concerning load sensing and regulation can be found in a wide variety of animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate. Feedback about load is not only derived from specific load receptors but also from other types of receptors that previously were thought to have other functions. In the central nervous system of many species, a convergence is found between specific and nonspecific load receptors. Furthermore, feedback from load receptors onto central circuits involved in the generation of rhythmic locomotor output is commonly found. During the stance phase, afferent activity from various load detectors can activate the extensor part in such circuits, thereby providing reinforcing force feedback. At the same time, the flexion is suppressed. The functional role of this arrangement is that activity in antigravity muscles is promoted while the onset of the next flexion is delayed as long as the limb is loaded. This type of reinforcing force feedback is present during gait but absent in the immoble resting animal.

Budget is the most important tool in planning and controlling the company to achieve its goals. In implementing the project cost budget compiled by CV. Anugerah Jaya for the project did not carry out analysis of variance, so it is not known what caused the adverse variance to occur. The project cost budget prepared by the company is not used as a basis for evaluating or measuring company performance and besides that the absence of rewards given to job executors and other employees is one of the reasons for the lack of budget control. So it is necessary to analyze the role of the budget as a planning and controlling tool project costs at CV. Anugerah Jaya Surabaya. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method on CV. Anugerah Jaya Surabaya. The data used are obtained from observations, interviews and documentation of internal company data. Using triangulation techniques that combine various data collection techniques and existing data sources to check the validity of the data. The analysis technique used is to analyze the data and compare with the theory in accordance with the existing problems. From the results of this research it can be concluded that the application of the budget as a tool for planning and controlling project costs at CV. Anugerah Jaya is still not running optimally. This is due to no price updates on materials, no rewards and punishments applied to the company, no work implementation reports, no proper variance analysis reports and no follow-up on deviations that occur.Keywords             : Budget; Planning; Controlling; Project Cost; Analysis of Variance. Anggaran merupakan alat yang paling penting dalam perencanaan dan pengendalian perusahaan untuk mencapai tujuannya.Dalam pelakasanaan anggaran biaya proyek yang disusun oleh CV. Anugerah Jaya untuk proyek tidak dilakukan analisis varians sehingga tidak diketahui apa yang menyebabkan varians yang merugikan itu terjadi. Anggaran biaya proyek yang disusun oleh perusahaan tidak digunakan sebagai dasar evaluasi atau pengukur kinerja perusahaan dan selain itu tidak adanya reward yang diberikan kepada pelaksana pekerjaan dan karyawan lain menjadi salah satu sebab kurangnya pengendalian anggaran.Maka perlu dilakukan analisa mengenai peranan anggaran sebagai alat perencanaan dan pengendalian biaya proyek pada CV. Anugerah Jaya Surabaya.Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus pada CV. Anugerah Jaya Surabaya.Data yang digunakan diperoleh dari hasil observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi data intern perusahaan.Menggunakan teknik triangulasi yang bersifat menggabungkan dari berbagai teknik pengumpulan data dan sumber data yang telah ada untuk memeriksa keabsahan data.Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah dengan menganalisis data dan membandingkan dengan teori yang sesuai dengan permasalahan yang ada.Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan anggaran sebagai alat perencanaan dan pengendalian biaya proyek pada CV. Anugerah Jaya masih belum berjalan secara optimal.Hal ini dikarenakan tidak dilakukan update harga pada material, belum adanya reward dan punishment yang diterapkan pada perusahaan, tidak adanya laporan pelaksanaan pekerjaan, tidak membuat laporan analisis variance dengan tepat dan belum adanya tindak lanjut terhadap penyimpangan yang terjadi.

Ayurveda is not merely a medical science. It is a complete life science. In Ayurveda all skin diseases are described under the Kushtha, which are further divided into Maha Kushtha and Kshudra Kushtha. Eka Kushtha is one of the Kshudra Kushtha described in different Ayurvedic classics. It is Vata-Kaphaj disorder. Ekakushtha has signs and symptoms i.e., Aswedanam (absence of sweating), Mahavastu (big size lesions) and Matsyasha kalopamam (scaling) which can be compared with Psoriasis. The exact etiology of Psoriasis is not known but many precipitating factors like genetic, dietary, immunological and psychological has been found. It is spreading fast because of unsuitable lifestyle changes such as dietary pattern, busy schedule and stress. The aim is to find out safe and effective treatment for psoriasis. Ayurveda plays an important role. There are three basic principles to treat any disease in Ayurveda i.e., Shodhana, Shamana and Nidana Parivarjana. Nidana Parivarjana is considered as the first line of treatment in most of the diseases. In Ayurveda diet plays a major role in the prevention and management of the disease. Sometimes Pathya and Apathya are the complete treatment of any diseases. So the main aim of this article is to focus on etiological factors of Ekakushtha and its management by various dietary regimens described in different Ayurvedic texts.
