This research aims to know the implementation of quality assurance program in basic education which focused on need analysis, vision, mission and scholl purpose. In order to assure the quality, human resources preparation, program achievement process, quality assurance program achievement, and financial education. This research used evaluation method by using DEM which using descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection prosedure using interview, observation, and documentation. Research informan are headmaster, teachers, staff, student, and scholl committe. Data validity using data source and method triangulation. The result of this research shown that the implementation of quality assurance program for need analysis, vission, mission, and scholl purpose very good. Human resource have been good. Quality assurance achievement very good. Financial which related with program reports and controlling very good. So, me can conclude that the implementation of quality assurance classified into good category.   Keywords : program evaluation, quality assurance

A meeting between the local community and tourists will produce some social changes in the local community where tourist site is located. The present study describes forms of socio-cultural changes in the local communities since the formation of Pulo Cinta Eco Resort for four years. The purpose of the present study was to examine the forms of socio-cultural changes in Patoameme Village community after the development of Pulo Cinta Eco Resort. The research method was case study using descriptive approach. This was based on the issues, which were what the object was and how it was formed. The data collection used observation, in-depth interview, and document study. The data was analyzed by performing data reduction, display and conclusion drawing. The data validity was examined using data source triangulation technique. Based on the findings in the field, the socio-cultural changes were; 1) symbols, b) language, c) values and d) norms. Keywords: Social Cultural Changes, Develepoment of Tourist Areas, Local Community

Buddhism has a distinctive self-concept. Through Buddhist Song Lyrics, the Venerable Girirakkhito expressly and implicitly gives signs and signifiers to declare and interpret the Buddhist self-concept. This study aims to describe: signature and self-concept found in the song lyrics created by Bhikkhu Girirakkhito in the album Senandung Sanubari as well as interpret the thoughts of the creator of the song in understanding the self-concept. This article is arranged using interpretive methods of language style with semiotic studies based on Saussure, Barthes, and Pierce's theories. Data validity using data source triangulation techniques, and Rahcmat Kriyantono's theory. Technique of data collecting is technique of recalled and recorded with interview (tech skill with informant). The result can be concluded: (1) the self-concept marker in this research is a word, sentence, or verse of the song; (2) the hallmark of the self-concept is the thought of the self-consciousness that undergoes change, unsatisfactory, and without the core of the self; (3) the creator of the song defines itself in the effort of self-awareness toward the ideal self-concept of attaining Buddhahood.

Object. Stringent geometrical accuracy and precision are required in the stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of patients. Accurate targeting is especially important when treating a patient in a single fraction of a very high radiation dose (90 Gy) to a small target such as that used in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (3 to 4—mm diameter). The purpose of this study was to determine the inaccuracies in each step of the procedure including imaging, fusion, treatment planning, and finally the treatment. The authors implemented a detailed quality-assurance program. Methods. Overall geometrical accuracy of the Novalis stereotactic system was evaluated using a Radionics Geometric Phantom Chamber. The phantom has several magnetic resonance (MR) and computerized tomography (CT) imaging—friendly objects of various shapes and sizes. Axial 1-mm-thick MR and CT images of the phantom were acquired using a T1-weighted three-dimensional spoiled gradient recalled pulse sequence and the CT scanning protocols used clinically in patients. The absolute errors due to MR image distortion, CT scan resolution, and the image fusion inaccuracies were measured knowing the exact physical dimensions of the objects in the phantom. The isocentric accuracy of the Novalis gantry and the patient support system was measured using the Winston—Lutz test. Because inaccuracies are cumulative, to calculate the system's overall spatial accuracy, the root mean square (RMS) of all the errors was calculated. To validate the accuracy of the technique, a 1.5-mm-diameter spherical marker taped on top of a radiochromic film was fixed parallel to the x–z plane of the stereotactic coordinate system inside the phantom. The marker was defined as a target on the CT images, and seven noncoplanar circular arcs were used to treat the target on the film. The calculated system RMS value was then correlated with the position of the target and the highest density on the radiochromic film. The mean spatial errors due to image fusion and MR imaging were 0.41 ± 0.3 and 0.22 ± 0.1 mm, respectively. Gantry and couch isocentricities were 0.3 ± 0.1 and 0.6 ± 0.15 mm, respectively. The system overall RMS values were 0.9 and 0.6 mm with and without the couch errors included, respectively (isocenter variations due to couch rotation are microadjusted between couch positions). The positional verification of the marker was within 0.7 ± 0.1 mm of the highest optical density on the radiochromic film, correlating well with the system's overall RMS value. The overall mean system deviation was 0.32 ± 0.42 mm. Conclusions. The highest spatial errors were caused by image fusion and gantry rotation. A comprehensive quality-assurance program was developed for the authors' stereotactic radiosurgery program that includes medical imaging, linear accelerator mechanical isocentricity, and treatment delivery. For a successful treatment of trigeminal neuralgia with a 4-mm cone, the overall RMS value of equal to or less than 1 mm must be guaranteed.

A probabilistic fracture mechanics code, PRAISE-CANDU 1.0, has been developed under a software quality assurance program in full compliance with CSA N286.7-99, and was initially released in 2012 June. Extensive verification and validation has been performed on PRAISE-CANDU 1.0 for the purpose of software quality assurance. This paper presents the benchmarking performed between PRAISE-CANDU 1.0 and xLPR (eXtremely Low Probability of Rupture) version 1.0 using the cases from the xLPR pilot study. The xLPR code was developed in a configuration management and quality assured manner. Both codes adopted a state-of-art code architecture for the treatment of the uncertainties. Inputs to the PRAISE-CANDU were established as close as possible to those used in corresponding xLPR cases. Excellent agreement has been observed among the results obtained from the two PFM codes in spite of some differences between the codes. This benchmarking is considered to be an important element of the validation of PRAISE-CANDU.
