El conocimiento del comportamiento histórico de los incendios forestales ocurridos en un territorio es de gran utilidad para la planificación eficiente de las medidas de prevención apropiadas para cada territorio, pues permite establecer la tendencia de ocurrencias de los incendios y de sus afectaciones, los períodos del día y del año con mayor riesgo de surgimiento y propagación, las causas del surgimiento, los tipos de especies y los tipos de bosques de acuerdo a su origen, más afectados, a la vez que es posible analizar la efectividad del servicio de protección contra los incendios. El presente trabajo tiene la finalidad de analizar el comportamiento histórico de los incendios forestales en la provincia de Pinar del Río durante el período de 1975 a 1996 con el fin de contribuir al aumento de la efectividad de la prevención contra estos fenómenos, para lo que se utilizó la Base de Datos sobre Incendios Forestales de la Provincia de Pinar del Río a la que se accedió con el Sistema Integrado para el Manejo de Base de Datos sobre Incendios Forestales (SIMBDIF). Entre otros resultados se pueden mencionar que en los bosques de Pinus spp, Eucalyptus spp y Casuarina spp ocurrió el 93,28 % de los incendios y a ellos correspondió el 94,44 % de las afectaciones. La mayor causa de surgimiento fue el rayo, con un porcentaje del 47,46 %. El 83,69 % de los incendios y el 92,41 % de las afectaciones se presentaron de Marzo a Agosto, ocurriendo desde las 13:00 y hasta las 16:00 horas el 69,43 % de los incendios. Se obtuvo diferencia significativa tanto para las medias del número de incendios ocurridos en bosques naturales y plantados como para las medias del número de hectáreas afectadas en los mismos. History of forest fires in Pinar Del Río province, Cuba Abstract The knowledge of the forest fires historical behavior in a territory is of great importance for the efficient planning of the appropriate prevention measures, since it permits to establish the occurrence trend of the fires and the burned areas, the periods of time (days and months) with greater occurrence an propagation risks, the cause of the fires, and the amount of fires and respective burned areas for each vegetation type. This paper relates the historical behavior of the forest fires in the Pinar del Río province from 1975 to 1996 in order to contribute for the increase of efficiency in forest fire prevention. The data base of forest fires in Pinar del Río, that is part of the Integrated System of the Data Base Managing on Forest Fires (SIMBDIF), was used. Plantations of Pinus spp, Eucalyptus spp, and Casuarina spp registered 93.28% of the fires and 94.44% of the burned areas. The main cause of the fires was lightning, with 47.46% of the occurrences. About 83.69% of the fires and 92.41% of the burned area were recorded from March to August, and 69.43% of the occurrences were registered between 1:30 and 4:00 PM. Significant statistical difference was detected for the number of fires and burned areas between natural and planted forests.

The IRμs™ is the first fully integrated system for Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscopy. FT-IR microscopy combines light microscopy for morphological examination with infrared spectroscopy for chemical identification of microscopic samples or domains. Because the IRμs system is a new tool for molecular microanalysis, its optical, mechanical and system design are described to illustrate the state of development of molecular microanalysis. Applications of infrared microspectroscopy are reviewed by Messerschmidt and Harthcock.Infrared spectral analysis of microscopic samples is not a new idea, it dates back to 1949, with the first commercial instrument being offered by Perkin-Elmer Co. Inc. in 1953. These early efforts showed promise but failed the test of practically. It was not until the advances in computer science were applied did infrared microspectroscopy emerge as a useful technique. Microscopes designed as accessories for Fourier transform infrared spectrometers have been commercially available since 1983. These accessory microscopes provide the best means for analytical spectroscopists to analyze microscopic samples, while not interfering with the FT-IR spectrometer’s normal functions.

Measurement of the egg's electrical activity, the fertilization potential or the activation current (in voltage clamped eggs), provides a means of detecting the earliest perceivable response of the egg to the fertilizing sperm. By using the electrical physiological record as a “real time” indicator of the instant of electrical continuity between the gametes, eggs can be inseminated with sperm at lower, more physiological densities, thereby assuring that only one sperm interacts with the egg. Integrating techniques of intracellular electrophysiological recording, video-imaging, and electron microscopy, we are able to identify the fertilizing sperm precisely and correlate the status of gamete organelles with the first indication (fertilization potential/activation current) of the egg's response to the attached sperm. Hence, this integrated system provides improved temporal and spatial resolution of morphological changes at the site of gamete interaction, under a variety of experimental conditions. Using these integrated techniques, we have investigated when sperm-egg plasma membrane fusion occurs in sea urchins with respect to the onset of the egg's change in electrical activity.

A method is presented for processing data from the histopathological laboratory of a cancer hospital. Emphasis is laid on the ease of use, the connection of medical, administrative and financial data, and the strictness of control of patient’s identification number. The system can be used separately; it is also a module for a large integrated system covering all the activities of the hospital.

The theme of this study is how the strategy planning in optimizing market levy in Bantul Regency. During 2012-2015, the levy achievement always exceeded the market target, but based on the potential data from Kepala Seksi Pendapatan in Kantor Pengelolaan Pasar, the specified target is too low, so that, the market levy still has potential to be optimized. Therefore, the aim of this study is to formulate the strategy to optimize market levy in Bantul Regency.The data used in this study was obtained from employees of the Kantor Pengelolaan Pasar both in the field and administration sector, also traders in Bantul district markets. The data was obtained through a questionnaire distributed to 34 employees of Kantor Pengelolaan Pasar, and interviews with market traders. The analysis mehod used is descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis.Based on the SWOT analysis, it is obtained the strategies for optimizing market levy in quadrant III by reducing the weaknesses to rise the opportunities. The implementation of the strategy, by the Kantor Pengelolaan Pasar, firstly by committing traders data validity, which is continued by collecting in an integrated system, that is a book keeping system. The officer made the routine administration after collecting, and traders who often do not pay the levy (in arrears) are required to pay the levy directly to BPD DIY.

Banking industry is very tight competition in all aspects. Results review from some literatures: journals and empirical data indicates that the banking industry has been applied information technology in order to provide excellent service to customers in the form of electronic transactions such as ATM, sms banking, e-commerce and so forth. Based on Bank Indonesia reports, the type of electronic transaction has been growing very rapidly between the transaction and Bilyetgiro Elekteronik Checks, ATM, Credit Card, Account Card Based (ATM and Debit Cards), Electronic Money, Delivery Chanel and RTGS. Those above transactions are relating to the Technology Information System and Integrated System. Integrated system is the combination of Hardskill which focus on knowledge and more to the integrity softskill (shidiq, trustworthy, tablig, fathonah). Islamic banks are ready to face competition both nationally and internationally, primarily face competition from the aspect of Integrated Systems. Bank Syariah Mandiri (BSM) developed e-banking features on an ongoing basis, among others
