SummaryWe measured total and free protein S (PS), protein C (PC) and factor X (FX) in 393 healthy blood donors to assess differences in relation to sex, hormonal state and age. All measured proteins were lower in women as compared to men, as were levels in premenopausal women as compared to postmenopausal women. Multiple regression analysis showed that both age and subgroup (men, pre- and postmenopausal women) were of significance for the levels of total and free PS and PC, the subgroup effect being caused by the differences between the premenopausal women and the other groups. This indicates a role of sex-hormones, most likely estrogens, in the regulation of levels of pro- and anticoagulant factors under physiologic conditions. These differences should be taken into account in daily clinical practice and may necessitate different normal ranges for men, pre- and postmenopausal women.

Perkembangan dunia perbankan syariah tidak lepas dari peran para nasabah yang memberikan kepercayaan terhadap pihak perbankan untuk penyimpanan asset keuangannya. Faktanya banyak kelompok nasabah yang memutuskan untuk menjadi nasabah di perbankan syariah karena faktor religiusitasnya. Faktor lain yang dapat ikut mempengaruhi keputusan nasabah adalah kualitas produk. Di mana kualitas produk merupakan karakteristik yang melekat dari suatu produk. Kemungkinan yang terjadi bahwa kebanyakan nasabah pada perbankan syariah juga masih merupakan nasabah perbankan konvensional.Tujuan yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kualitas produk dan tingkat religiusitas nasabah terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya atau tidak di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi linier berganda, dengan jumlah sampel 100 nasabah. Diperoleh hasil Y = 5,046 + 0,101X1 + 0,218X2. Berdasarkan uji F yang sudah dilakukan maka dapat diketahui bahwa variabel kualitas produk dan religiusitas secara bersama – sama berpengaruh terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. Berdasarkan uji t yang sudah dilakukan dapat diketahui bahwa secara partial baik variabel kualitas produk maupun variabel religiusitas berpengaruh terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. The progress of the Islamic bank cannot be separated from the role of its customers who give trust to the bank to deposit their financial assets. It is a fact many groups of customers decide to be the customers of the Islamic bank because of their religiosity. The other influences factor of a customer’s decision is the quality of the product. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of product quality and level of customers’ religiosity towards customers’ decision whether to keep their funds in Syariah Mandiri Bank, Branch of Purwokerto, or not. The analytical tool used was multiple linear regression analysis, with a sample of 100 customers. The results indicate Y = 5,046 + 0,101X1 + 0,218X2. Based on F, it can be seen that both variables of product quality and religiosity simultanously affect the customers’ decision to keep theirfunds in BSM Branch of Purwokerto. Based on t test, it can be seen that independently, either variable of product quality or variables of religiosityinfluences the customers’ decision to keep their funds in BSM Branch of Purwokerto.

The specific radioactivity (SA) of 125I-lysine vasopressin (LVP) was determined by analyzing the binding B (cpm/tube) of variable amounts of tracer T (cpm/tube) to a constant amount of an LVP antibody, in the presence of known quantities L (mol/tube) of LVP standards. The parameters of the equations B = f(F) and B/F = g(T), describing B as a function of free F (cpm/tube) tracer or the ratios B/F as a function of T, were first calculated by nonlinear regression analysis of the results obtained with tracer alone. Then the dependent variables B or B/F were measured in the presence of LVP and analyzed with the same equations by substituting the independent variables F or T with (F + alpha FL) and (T + alpha L), respectively, where alpha (cpm/mol) represents a measure of the SA and FL (FL = L.F/T), free LVP, respectively. The SA was thus treated as an unknown parameter to be calculated by nonlinear regression. This method was compared with the traditional interpolation of the SA from the self-displacement and standard curves. Tracer and ligand were found to have the same affinity for the binding sites, since the set of equations B = f(F + alpha FL) and B/F = g(T + alpha L), describing the binding of the tracer in the presence of LVP and equations B = f(F) and B/F = g(T) to which these equations reduce in the absence of LVP (L = 0), had identical binding parameters. To be valid, any method based on self-displacement requires that the tracer and standards have the same affinity for the binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Latency is an important factor when conducting teleoperated missions. This study investigates the effects of latency on a set of dependent variables: performance (measured by time and number of errors), subjective workload, trust, and usability. These measures were tested in a simulated search-and-rescue mission over two levels of two independent variables. One independent variable was the number of robots – one or two (within-subject), and the other independent variable was latency – simulations with and without latency (between-subject.) The significant effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables were checked using repeated measure two-way ANOVA with a confidence level of 95%. The data determined any significant effects that latency and/or the number of robots had on such factors as errors, dependability, reliability, harmful outcomes, temporal demand, and frustration.

Learning By Discovery

Three studies on learning by discovery were conducted using a refraction task. In each study, three instructional methods were used, ruleg (rule-example), egrule (examples followed by the rule), and eg only (rule not given). Independent variables included sex and socioeconomic level. The 8 dependent variables used were measures of retention, transfer, incidental learning, and verbalization. Few significant findings were obtained; however, on the verbalization of the rule measure, the groups given the rule performed higher than the group not given the rule. There was little interaction between instructional method and the other variables.
