This editorial highlights the issue of prehospital care in developing countries

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan bimbingan dan pelatihan tentang pentingnya pengembangan kepribadian kepada masyarakat khususnya kaum wanita yang terorganisasi dalam kegiatan sosial kemasyarakatan khususnya kelompok PKK. Sesuai dengan tujuan dari organisasi ini adalah untuk memberikan pendidikan kesejahteraan keluarga dan masyarakat secara intensif agar para ibu-ibu sebagai pendidik paling pertama di keluarga dan anak- anaknya dirumah serta lingkungan masyarakat pada umumnya Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah ceramah dan tanya jawab, yaitu penyampaian materi tentang karakter kepribadian dan cara mengembangkannya. Selain ceramah juga dilakukan diskusi dan Tanya Jawab untuk memberikan kesempatan kepada peserta dalam memahami lebih lanjut tentang materi yang disampaikan.Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah bahwa para peserta memperoleh wawasan dan pemahaman (kognisi) tentang pentingnya etika dan cara mengembangkan diri khususnya dalam menghadapi perkembangan kehidupan di era globa ini, sehingga dapat menerapkan kepribadian yang efektif dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan mudah beradaptasi dengan perkembangan teknologi.

Emergency nurses have key roles in responding to healthcare disasters. Emergency nurses often complete postgraduate qualifications in their area of specialty to equip them with a breadth and depth of knowledge to respond to the challenges and complexities of emergency nursing care. However, little is known about the disaster preparedness of emergency nurses in Australia. More specifically, the educational preparedness and training for disaster nursing roles is not well understood. This purpose of this study is to describe the disaster content of Australian postgraduate tertiary emergency nursing courses as a means of better understanding emergency nurses' educational preparedness for disaster. An exploratory, descriptive approach was used to survey postgraduate tertiary emergency nursing course convenors. Data were collected from course convenors by structured telephone interview. Questions included: (1) nursing background; (2) demographics and disaster experience of course convenors; (3) course type, duration and mode of delivery; and (4) the type and amount of disaster content. Currently, 12 universities in Australia offer postgraduate courses specific to Emergency Nursing, ranging from Graduate Certificates to Masters Degree level. Of these universities, 10 participated in this research project. This presentation will report on the demographics of course convenors, including their disaster education and experience. However, the focus of the presentation will be on the review of the course content. Seven courses had some disaster content, while three had none. The disaster content in these courses varied in both content and duration. Three had learning objectives, and one had an assessment item related to disasters. Five had recent modifications relating to disaster content; this was in response to real-world events, such as terrorism and communicable diseases. This research highlights that the disaster content in Australian postgraduate emergency nursing courses varies. The year 2010 brought an unprecedented public health response to the novel H1N1 influenza pandemic. Included in that response were colleges and universities across the globe. At universities not associated with medical centers, medical directors of student health looked to nursing faculty or nurse practitioner directors of student health for leadership. From the day novel H1N1 was formally declared a public health emergency, Arkansas State University utilized a nurse faculty member with expertise in homeland security as its Incident Commander. A portion of the nurse's time was dedicated to managing the incident. The nurse was positioned to provide guidance and lead the response with an understanding of university structures as well as business and academic continuity. From the beginning, the nurse utilized the Incident Command System to manage the response. Portions of the University's Incident Command structure were activated and Incident Command meetings were held no less than every two weeks. A tabletop exercise was developed specifically f...

Produksi beton mutu tinggi sudah sangat diperlukan, mengingat keterbatasan lahan dan kebutuhan konstruksi hunian yang terbatas. Kualitas beton mutu tinggi  ditentukan  oleh kualitas agregat, jenis semen, komposisi  campuran dan sangat penting  faktor air semen (fas). Sedangkan untuk semen, mutu kehalusan semen  kecepatan hydrasi dan jumlah  air yang diperlukan sangat menentukan.. Jenis semen yang dipakai sesuai tujuan produksi beton itu sendiri.  Penggunaan semen komposit  dengan berbagai jenis aditif  ditinjau dari workability dan kinerja kekuatan tekannya adalah tujuan penelitian ini. Belum banyak menggunakan semen komposit ini   terutama pada beton mutu tinggi (K-600)  dilapangan.  Tahapan penelitian pembelian material batuan dan semen PCC, pengujian mutu agregat kasar   analisa ayak, berat jenis dan kadar air agregat. merancang bahan  campuran beton dengan tambahan tiga jenis aditif kimia. Selanjutnya perawatan 7,14 dan 28 hari dan di uji tekan. Hasil penelitian disimpulkan pengaruh aditif  adukan lebih plastis, nilai slump tanpa aditif  0 -10 mm, dan dengan aditif  nilai naik 30 – 50 mm, adukan lebih mudah dikerjakan, baik pengadukan ,pengecoran dan pemadatan. Besarnya nilai kuat tekan 28 hari dari ketiga aditif, Kuat tekan untuk Glenium 351 (72.83 Mpa) > 12.9% dari nilai kuat tekan Sika Viscocrete 3115d  (64.5 MPa) dan  18.9%  > dari Sika Viscorete 10 ( 61.23 MPa) untuk benda uji kubus, sedangkan untuk silinder nilainya lebih rendah, namun untuk konversi benda uji masih memenuhi target mutu.Kata-kata kunci:  PCC, beton mutu tinggi, aditif, plastisitas
