The objective of the study was to make a comparison among the two countries according to the level of sufficiency of educational resources and to determine the accuracy level at which variables related to educational resources can classify the schools on the basis of countries. Relational survey model was used. The sample group of the study was comprised of 186 schools from Turkey and 174 schools from Singapore for a total of 360 schools. Descriptive analyses and chi-square statistics were used to put forth whether there are differences with regard to the items. Logistic regression analysis was used to make an accurate classification of the schools according to their countries. Statistically significant differences between Turkish and Singapore schools were attained as a result of the chi-square analyses in all variables including lack of educational material, inadequate or poor quality educational material, lack of physical infrastructure and inadequate or poor quality physical infrastructure variables. A total of four variables included in the study explain about 60 % of the variance of Turkish and Singapore schools in having adequate educational resources. The equation obtained from analysis shows that lack of educational material is more important than lack of physical infrastructure. This alone puts forth that school success is related more to the quality of educational material than to physical inadequacies. As a result of the logistic regression with these variables, it was determined that the equation classifies 82% of the total number of 360 schools accurately. As a general conclusion of the study, it was observed with regard to its contributions to the model acquired via logistic regression.

Hiv Aids

People's perception of HIV / AIDS is transmitted through sexual relations that are considered immoral and embarrassing tends to discriminate against PLWHA. This negative stigma can indirectly reduce the quality of life of PLWHA. The low quality of life of PLWHA can affect their health. But in the end, all sufferers accept their condition as sufferers of HIV / AIDS by returning the problem to God. The spiritual role is very important in the process of acceptance because it has a positive influence marked by a reduction in depression, an improvement in the quality of life, a reduction in the fear of facing death, and a growing spirit of survival. This research method was observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach which was conducted at the Angel Heart Foundation in Batam City in 2018. The population in this study was people with HIV / AIDS at the Angel Heart Foundation in Batam City in 2018, amounting to 50 people, using retrieval techniques total sampling. The statistical test used was the chi-square test using a 95% significance level. 50 respondents, of which 30 respondents with a less spiritual level with a classification of 27 respondents (90.0%) had poor quality of life, and 3 respondents (10.0%) had a good quality of life. Meanwhile, 20 respondents with a good spiritual level with a classification of 1 respondent (5.0%) had poor quality of life and 19 respondents (95.0%) had a good quality of life. Statistical test results with chi-square obtained p-value = 0.00 <0.05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. There is a relationship between Spiritual Level and Quality of Life of People with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) at Angel Heart Foundation Batam City in 2018.

Objective: To predict the quality of anticoagulation control in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving warfarin in Thailand. Materials and Methods: The present study retrospectively recruited Thai AF patients receiving warfarin for three months or longer between June 2012 and December 2017 in Central Chest Institute of Thailand. The patients were classified into those with SAMe-TT₂R₂ of 2 or less, and 3 or more. The Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the proportion of the patients with poor time in therapeutic range (TTR) between the two groups of SAMe-TT₂R₂ score. The discrimination performance of SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was demonstrated with c-statistics. Results: Ninety AF patients were enrolled. An average age was 69.89±10.04 years. Most patients were persistent AF. An average CHA₂DS₂-VASc, SAMe-TT₂R₂, and HAS-BLED score were 3.68±1.51, 3.26±0.88, and 1.98±0.85, respectively. The present study showed the increased proportion of AF patients with poor TTR with higher SAMe-TT₂R₂ score. The AF patients with SAMe-TT₂R₂ score of 3 or more had a larger proportion of patients with poor TTR than those with SAMe-TT₂R₂ score of 2 or less with statistical significance when TTR was below 70% (p=0.03) and 65% (p=0.04), respectively. The discrimination performance of SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was demonstrated with c-statistics of 0.60, 0.59, and 0.55 when TTR was below 70%, 65% and 60%, respectively. Conclusion: Thai AF patients receiving warfarin had a larger proportion of patients with poor TTR when the SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was higher. The score of 3 or more could predict poor quality of anticoagulation control in those patients. Keywords: Time in therapeutic range, Poor quality of anticoagulation control, Warfarin, SAMe-TT₂R₂, Labile INR

Official statistics on trade in goods between EU member states are collect-ed on country-level and then aggregated by Eurostat. Methodology of data collecting differs slightly between member states(e.g. various statistical thresholds and coverage), including differences in exchange rates as well as undeclared or late-declared transac-tions, errors in classification of goods and other mistakes. It often involves incomparability of mirror data (nominally concerning the same transactions recorded in statistics of both dispatcher and receiver countries). A huge part of these differences can be explained with the variable quality of data resources in the Eurostat database. In the study data quality on intra-EU trade in goods for 2017 was compared between Poland and neigh-bouring EU countries, i.e.:Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania,and other Baltic states–Latvia and Estonia. The additional aim was to indicate the directions hav-ing the greatestinfluence on the observed differences in mirror data. The results of the study indicate that the declarations made in Estonia affect the poor quality of data on trade in goods between the countries mentioned above to the greatest extent.

<p>Madura merupakan salah satu daerah penghasil tembakau di Indonseia. Tembakau Madura  merupakan jenis komoditi perkebunan yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Sebagian besar tembakau madura diserap oleh pabrik rokok sebagai bahan baku utama rokok maupun sebagai racikan atau campuran kretek. Secara umum tembakau Madura sendiri dibagi menjadi tiga bagian: tembakau gunung, tembakau tegal, dan tembakau sawah. Jenis tembakau gunung adalah yang paling diburu oleh pabrik rokok, meski produktivitasnya terbilang sangat rendah dibanding tembakau sawah. Terdapat banyak jenis  varietas tembakau gunung yang ditanam petani di Madura, namun  yang memiliki karakteristik khas adalah tembaku Prancak – 95. Hal ini disebabkan  <a href="http://global-news.co.id/2016/04/tembakau-varietas-prancak-95-madura-diam-diam-dikembangkan-tiongkok/">Aroma tembakau Prancak-95 Madura tidak bisa ditiru oleh</a> jenis varietas tembaku lain di Indonesia. Hal lain yang membedakan yaitu terjadi karena kontur atau struktur tanah Madura yang memang khas, yang merupakan kelebihan dari tembakau Madura.Pada penelitian ini didesain sebuah sistem gradding untuk mendeteksi kualitas tembakau Prancak – 95 madura. Deteksi kualitas daun tembakau ini didasarkan pada dua ekstraksi fitur yaitu tekstur dan aromatik. Berdasarkan kedua fitur tersebut nantinya akan diklasifikasikan dengan menggunakan standard kualifikasi SNI.

Madura tobacco is a type of plantation commodity that has high economic value. Most tobacco Madura is absorbed by cigarette manufacturers as the main raw material of cigarettes as well as as a concoction or clove mixture. In general Madura tobacco itself is divided into three parts: mountain tobacco, tobacco tegal, and tobacco sawah. Types of mountain tobacco are the most hunted by cigarette manufacturers, although the productivity is very low compared to tobacco. There are many types of varieties of mountain tobacco grown by farmers in Madura, but which has a distinctive characteristic is the Prancak-95 tobacco. This is because the Prancak-95 Madura tobacco aroma cannot be imitated by other types of copious varieties in Indonesia. Another thing that distinguishes that occurs due to the contour or structure of Madura land that is typical, which is the advantage of Madura tobacco. In this study designed a grading system to detect the quality of Prancak tobacco - 95 madura. The tobacco leaf quality detection is based on two feature extractions, namely texture and aromatics. Based on these two features will be classified using SNI qualification standards.
