Objective. To identify medical school characteristics associated with performance in a medical residency admission test. Materials and methods. Performance and selection rates according to type of medical school (Student´s t-test, Chi-squared test), accreditation status (Student´s t-test) and geographic regions (Anova) were analyzed from a database comprising 153 654 physicians who took the residency admission test Examen Nacional de Aspirantes a Residencias Médicas (ENARM) in the period 2014-2018. Results. Performance was 62.5% for accredited programs and 61.4% for non-accredited programs (p<0.001); public schools reached 62.3% and private schools 62.2% (p<0.001). Northern regions performed above 63% while South-Southeast at 58.9% (p<0.001). Selection rate was 26.2% for accredited programs and 22.9% for non-accredited (p<0.001); 26.6% for public schools and 23.6% for private schools (p<0.001). North-East and North-West reached 31% while South-Southeast 20.7%. Conclusions. Type of school, accreditation status and geographic region may influence performance and selection rate.

ABSTRAK Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) merupakan jenjang pendidikan menengah setelah menempuh Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP). SMA di kota Manado terdiri atas sekolah yang berstatus negeri dan sekolah yang berstatus swasta. Jumlah sekolah negeri di Kota Manado adalah 9 sekolah dan jumlah sekolah swasta di Kota Manado adalah 37 sekolah. Sekolah dengan status negeri lebih baik atau tidak lebih baik dengan sekolah status swasta dalam hal ini SMA di Kota Manado. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membandingkan dalam rata-rata SMA dengan status negeri dan SMA dengan status swasta berdasarkan nilai UN dan Akreditasi sekolah di Kota Manado. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data nilai ujian nasional SMA di Kota Manado tahun ajaran 2014/2015 dan data nilai akreditasi SMA di Kota Manado sampai tahun 2015. Metode analisis yaitu analisis deskripsi untuk menggambarkan rata-rata sekolah berdasarkan status sekolah negeri dan swasta. Uji-t dilakukan untuk membedakan antara sekolah dengan status negeri dan sekolah dengan status swasta. Langkah-langkahnya adalah dengan membuat pengujian hipotesis statistika. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memperkaya referensi tentang penerapan ilmu statistika dalam masyarakat khususnya dalam bidang pendidikan di daerah Sulawesi Utara. Hasil yang didapat yaitu nilai t-hitung sebesar 1.28 dan nilai p sebesar 0.219, untuk perhitungan berdasarkan nilai UN. Sedangkan untuk perhitungan berdasarkan nilai akreditasi, t-hitung sebesar 1.44 dan nilai p sebesar 0.169. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan antara sekolah negeri dan sekolah swasta berdasarkan rata-rata nilai UN dan akreditasi di Kota Manado.

High School in Manado consists of public school and private school, with the number of 9 public schools and private schools amounted to 37. Public schools in Manado can be better or no better than private schools. The purpose of this study is to compare the average value of National Examination and the average value of accreditation of senior high schools from public schools and private schools of Manado. The data used in this study is the national exam scores from high school in the city of Manado in the academic year 2014/2015 and the value of accreditation School in Manado until 2015. The analytical method used is the analysis of description to describe the average school based on the status of public and private schools. T-test is done to distinguish between schools with public schools and private schools, after it made a statistical hypothesis testing. The results of this study are expected to make reference to the application of statistical science in society, especially in the field of education in North Sulawesi. In calculations based on the National Examination, obtained the t-test of 1.28, and p value of 0219. while the calculation based on the value of accreditation, obtained t count by 1.44 and p value of 0.169. Based on that can be concluded that there is no difference between public schools and private schools based on the average of the National Examination and value of accreditation in Manado. Keywords: Accreditation, Senior High School, National Examination, t-test.

This study aimed at comparing private and public schools in terms of students' achievement in English Language and parents' attitudes towards teaching their children in private schools. To achieve the aim of the study the researchers conducted a test to measure students' achievements in English language and they also distributed a questionnaire among the parents of the students in private schools. The sample of the study consisted of 165 students from two public schools and two private schools, and 66 parents. Means, standard deviations and T-test were used to analyze the results. Results showed that there are statistically significant differences in students' achievement in English language between students of private and public schools in favor of private schools, it also shows that there are statistically significant differences at (a= 0.05) in the parents' attitudes towards teaching their children in private schools due to the academic level, gender, and financial level variables.

During ore geological studies in Washington Land by one of us (B.T.), finds of erratics of banded iron formation (BIF) directed special attention to the till, glaciofluvial and fluvial sediments. This led to the discovery that in certain parts of Daugaard-Jensen Land and Washington Land volcanic rocks form a common component of the surficial deposits, with particularly colourful, red porphyries catching the eye. The presence of BIF is interesting but not altogether unexpected since BIF erratics have been reported from southern Hall Land just to the north-east (Kelly & Bennike 1992) and such rocks crop out in the Precambrian shield of North-West Greenland to the south (Fig. 1; Dawes 1991). On the other hand, the presence of volcanic erratics was unexpected and stimulated the work reported on here.

Stratigraphy, structure and geochemistry of Archaean supracrustal rocks from Oqaatsut and Naajaat Qaqqaat, north-east Disko Bugt, West Greenland. Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 181, 65-78. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v181.5114 _______________ Two Archaean supracrustal sequences in the area north-east of Disko Bugt, c. 1950 and c. 800 m in thickness, are dominated by pelitic and semipelitic mica schists, interlayered with basic metavolcanic rocks. A polymict conglomerate occurs locally at the base of one of the sequences. One of the supracrustal sequences has undergone four phases of deformation; the other three phases. In both sequences an early phase, now represented by isoclinal folds, was followed by north-west-directed thrusting. A penetrative deformation represented by upright to steeply inclined folds is only recognised in one of the sequences. Steep, brittle N–S and NW–SE striking faults transect all rock units including late stage dolerites and lamprophyres. Investigation of major- and trace-element geochemistry based on discrimination diagrams for tectonic setting suggests that both metasediments and metavolcanic rocks were deposited in an environment similar to a modern back-arc setting.

SUMMARY Downy mildew caused by the fungus Plasmopara halstedii is the main disease on sunflower in Bulgaria. In recent years a number of authors have reported the occurrence of new more virulent races of the pathogen. According to other authors these races demonstrate resistance to the fungicides used up to now. This fact is rather alarming and imposes the necessity of annual researches with the aim of following the changes in the downy mildew race variability. In the period 1995-1997 downy mildew isolates were collected from the following locations: Bourgas, Boyanovo, Karnobat, Ognyanovo, Selanovtsi, Kroushari, Lovech, Koubrat, Brashlyan, Sitovo, Tervel, Targovishte, IWS “Dobroudja” and Dobrich. The samples were assessed for virulence on a set of sunflower differential - lines under greenhouse conditions. The obtained results do not reveal a great race variability of downy mildew population in Bulgaria. In the period of study two races of the pathogen were identified: race 1 which infects the differential lines without genes for resistance to the pathogen. It is distributed in all sunflower production areas of the country. The other one is race 2. It is of limited distribution and has been registered in individual fields of north-east and north-west Bulgaria. It attacks the differential lines carrying the resistance gene Pl-1.

Early in 1963 much of the land occupied by the Roman building at Fishbourne was purchased by Mr. I. D. Margary, M.A., F.S.A., and was given to the Sussex Archaeological Trust. The Fishbourne Committee of the trust was set up to administer the future of the site. The third season's excavation, carried out at the desire of this committee, was again organized by the Chichester Civic Society.1 About fifty volunteers a day were employed from 24th July to 3rd September. Excavation concentrated upon three main areas; the orchard south of the east wing excavated in 1962, the west end of the north wing, and the west wing. In addition, trial trenches were dug at the north-east and north-west extremities of the building and in the area to the north of the north wing. The work of supervision was carried out by Miss F. Pierce, M.A., Mr. B. Morley, Mr. A. B. Norton, B.A., and Mr. J. P. Wild, B.A. Photography was organized by Mr. D. B. Baker and Mrs. F. A. Cunliffe took charge of the pottery and finds.

In this paper the author investigates the periodical variations of the winds, rain and temperature, corresponding to the conditions of the moon’s declination, in a manner similar to that he has already followed in the case of the barometrical variations, on a period of years extending from 1815 to 1832 inclusive. In each case he gives tables of the average quantities for each week, at the middle of which the moon is in the equator, or else has either attained its maximum north or south declination. He thus finds that a north-east wind is most promoted by the constant solar influence which causes it, when the moon is about the equator, going from north to south; that a south-east wind, in like manner, prevails most when the moon is proceeding to acquire a southern declination ; that winds from the south and west blow more when the moon is in her mean degrees of declination, going either way, than with a full north or south declination ; and that a north-west wind, the common summer and fair weather wind of the climate, affects, in like manner, the mean declination, in either direction, in preference to the north or south, and most when the moon is coming north. He finds the average annual depth of rain, falling in the neighbourhood of London, is 25’17 inches.

The beginning of all growth studies in this country occurred less than a century ago when the Boston School Committee approved the following order permitting Henry Pickering Bowditch, Professor of Physiology at the Harvard Medical School, to measure and weigh children in the Boston public schools. This document is one of the great, and I believe little known, landmarks in modern pediatrics.1 In School Committee, March 9, 1875 Ordered, That permission be given to Prof. Henry P. Bowditch, of Harvard University, to ascertain the height and weight of the pupils attending the public school, through such an arrangement as the respective chairman and the headmaster, or masters, may deem most convenient.
