Background: Adequate sleep is required for optimal functioning of human body and mind. Attention and concentration difficulties are related to inadequate sleep among the students. Medical students are considered a stressful group of students because of their hectic schedule. The present study was carried out to know the sleeping pattern among the medical students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in VIMSAR, Burla, Sambalpur in 2016 among the MBBS Students. Fifty students from each batch were selected by simple random sampling method. Information were collected in a pre-designed pretested questionnaire and was analyzed with Ms-Excel.Results: One hundred and fifty students were selected as the study subjects. The mean bed time during working days was found to be 11:22 pm. Majority of the students 70 (46.6%) were going to bed between 11-12 am. The mean wake up time during working days was 6:52 am and week end was 8:14 am. 75 (50%) students sleep for 6 hours and 42 minutes. 7 (6%) students sleep for 4 hours and 30 minutes. The mean duration of sleep in working days was 6 hours and 46 minutes and in the weekend was 7 hours and 34 minutes.Conclusions: There was less duration of sleep as compared to the recommended sleep duration along with the increase in the mean bed time sleep.

In environmental monitoring and assessment, the main focus is to achieve observational economy and to collect data with unbiased, efficient and cost-effective sampling methods. Ranked set sampling (RSS) is one traditional method that is mostly used for accomplishing observational economy. In this article, we suggested new sampling method called median double ranked set sampling (MDRSS). The newly suggested sampling method MDRSS is compare to the simple random sampling (SRS), RSS, double ranked set sampling (DRSS), median ranked set sampling (MRSS). When the underlying distributions are symmetric and asymmetric, it is shown that, the variance of the mean estimator under MDRSS is always less than the variance of the mean estimator based on SRS and the other methods.

The puposes of this study are (1) to analyze the effects of government expenditures on education, health and infrastructure sectors toward economic growth and human development index in Indonesia, (2) to investigate the impacts of economic growth on human dvelopment index, (3) and to examine the effects of government expenditures on education, health and infrastructure sectors toward human development index both directly and through the economic growth. The study used samples from twenty provinces, which were selected using simple random sampling, divided into two groups; the first group comprised higher HDI provinces; the second group consisted of lower HDI provinces. To examine the model, the study applied path analysis method. The mean test was also applied to determine whether there were statistical average differences between the two groups. The results of this study show different responds between the higher HDI provinces and lower HDI provinces. The higher HDI provinces show that government expenditures on health and infrastructure have positive and significant impacts on human development index through economic growth indirectly; on the other hand, the lower HDI provinces show that only expenditure on education gives positive and significant impacts on human development index. Meanwhile, the economic growth shows positive and significant impacts on human development index in both higher HDI and lower HDI provinces.  Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1).Mengetahui pengaruh pengeluaran pemerintah pada sektor pendidikan, kesehatan dan infrastruktur terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan indeks pembangunan manusia (IPM) di Indonesia, (2).Mengetahui pengaruh pertumbuhan ekonomi terhadap IPM, dan (3).Mengetahui pengaruh pengeluaran pemerintah pada sektor pendidikan, kesehatan dan infrastruktur terhadap IPM, baik secara langsung maupun melalui pertumbuhan ekonomi. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel dua puluh provinsi yang dipilih dengan teknik simple random sampling yang kemudian dibagi kedalam dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM tinggi dan kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM rendah. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis jalur. Sebagai pendukung, juga dilakukan uji beda rata-rata untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya perbedaan rata-rata secara statistik terhadap dua kelompok tersebut. Hasil estimasi menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan respon diantara dua kelompok daerah tersebut. Pada kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM tinggi, terlihat bahwa pengeluaran kesehatan dan infrastruktur mempunyai pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap IPM melalui pertumbuhan ekonomi, sedangkan pada kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM rendah terlihat bahwa hanya pengeluaran pendidikan yang mempunyai pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap angka IPM. Adapun pertumbuhan ekonomi, terlihat menunjukkan pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap IPM. Hal ini terjadi pada kedua kelompok daerah, baik kelompok daerah dengan IPM tinggi maupun IPM rendah.
