The purpose of this paper is to conduct tracing study for students of
certification competency exam at Ministry of Communication and Informatics
Indonesia. The proposal is based on the concept of college and career readiness in
Boston which was used to assess the factors of careers after students taking
competency exam for framing the tracing study of certification competency exam in
Ministry of Communication and Informatics Indonesia. Majority respondents use the
certificate to apply for job vacancy. This is good result, means that the objective of
Ministry of Communication and Information to facilitate young workers to get job
from this competency exam do satisfied the objectives. The factors identified for not
applying jobs are: still finishing study, already working, and taking entrepreneurship
path. and are still asking support from their parents. Those who are working in banks,
schools, government institutions and private companies, others say they are going to
try to propose again, and are going to continue their education before attempting to get
job again. Interestingly, there are some respondents are willing to take
entrepreneurship instead of continuing their effort to get a job. This means that
entrepreneurship is attractive for them.

10.21276/haya.2018.3.4.8
A total number of 1042 flathead mullet Mugil cephalus were searched for
parasites during summer & autumn 2015 and winter & spring 2016. Six different
parasite taxa belonging to Microsporidia, Myxozoa, Ciliophora, Anisakidae and
Gnathostomatidae were identified. The total number of infested mullets along the
study period with one or more parasites was 396 representing a percentage of 38.0%.
Mullets were infested with Microsporum velveticum through ingesting the
intermediate host. This parasite was observed in the intestinal epithelia, adipose
tissue, liver, stomach epithelia, muscles and air bladder. Myxidium depressum was
observed in the liver and gall bladder of infested mullets in a plasmid stage that had
undergone sporogony forming multicellular myxospores. Trichodina murmanica was
observed on the gill surface, the operculum and respiratory epithelium where
superficial to deep ulcerative lesions were visible. Third Larval stages of Anisakis
simplex, Raphidascaris acus and Gnathostoma spinigerum were observed free in the
duodenum and ileim or encapsulated in the stomach epithelia, liver, and muscles.
The infra-community of protists was highest in winter and fall while for parasitic
nematodes was during spring and summer. Seasonal fluctuation of the parasite
community was demonstrated by using standard calculations.

This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the level of violence
and influencing factors, reasons for violence according to women, women‟ behaviors
in response to violence, reasons given by women who are exposed to violence for
sustaining their marriage in Sanliurfa in Turkey between 15 December 2013 and 15
February 2014.Participants were selected by using 30 cluster sampling methods. A
total of 300 married women were reached. The prevalence of being exposed to any
type of violence was determined 78.7%; this included physical violence 18.3%, verbal
violence 50.3%, emotional violence 38.3%, sexual violence 8.0%, and economic
violence 57.0%. Considering all types of violence, the most common applicator of
violence was husband (90–100%). Almost half of the women stated that they gave no
reaction/became introverted and cried in response to violence from their husbands.
Almost half of women being exposed to violence by their husbands were observed to
sustain their marriage. It is also, 23.6% of women stated that they confirmed man's
wife to violence in some cases (It is also 23.6% of women stated that they are OK with
their husbans violance to themselves in some cases.) Women who participated in the
study had a very high prevalence of being exposed to violence. Even more, violence
was approved by women in some cases. These results show that health care
professionals rendering services in the region have great responsibilities to prevent,

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infectious diseases
globally. An increasing antimicrobial resistance among Community-acquired (CA)
and Nosocomial UTI has been rapidly growing. Cross-sectional, analytical and
descriptive study was conducted to investigate the current in vitro susceptibility
pattern of the clinically isolated bacteria among Community and Hospital-acquired
(HA) UTI. Patient data for 421 urine specimens were collected from the case records
during October 2016 to March 2017. Significant growth was yielded from 170 of urine
specimens. Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used for detection antibiotic
susceptibility pattern for all isolates. Of the total 170 (40.4%) culture positive samples,
51.2% and 48.8% were CA and HA UTI respectively. The culture positivity of UTI
among the female was (44.1%) compared to (55.9%) among the male. There was a
significant difference in resistance pattern between CA and Nosocomial UTI. The
distribution of the isolated pathogens were (51.2%) and (48.8%) in CA and HA
respectively. The predominant bacterial isolate was Escherichia coli (43.5%) in both
cases of community and nosocomial UTI. However, Klebsiella pneumoniae (69.0%)
was mostly isolated from HA-UTI while Staphylococcus aureus (80.0%) was mostly
detected in CA-UTI. The recent study revealed high resistant rates of UTI among HA
as compared to CA. This study revealed that more than 90% of HA-UTIs isolated
pathogens were resistant to broad-spectrum Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Quinolones,
and Macrolides. Contrarily, high rates of bacterial sensitivity was found towards
Imipenem (82.9%), Nitrofurantoin (72.4%), Ertapenem (70.7%), and Amikacin
(67.1%). Even if Escherichia coli remains the major pathogen in UTI, the resistance
pattern of CA-UTI is frightening in our country. Nitrofurantoin is the only oral drug
that retained reasonable activity against most UTI pathogens. Imipenem and
Ertapenem remain effective for UTI bacterial isolates. The changing of UTI
etiological agents was observed in the current study.

There is some controversy about assessment of nodal stage in staging systems used for gastric cancers. The goal of the this study is to assess the influence of metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) and number of resected lymph nodes on survival in patients with gastric cancer who were perfomed R0 resection due to gastric adenocarcinoma. Data from 125 patients with gastric carcinoma who underwent R0 resection due to from 2009 to 2015 investigated retrospectively. Cut-off values used for MLNR were 0.1-25%, 26-50% and >50%. Sex, age, size and location of tumor , differentiation, tumor invasion, lymphovascular invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes and MLNR were analyzed as prognostic factors. Five-year survival rate was 45.6%. Five-year survival rates among patients with pN0, pN1, pN2, pN3aand pN3b disease were 79%, 41%, 34%, 25% and 17%, respectively (p=0.0001). Five-year survival rates among patients in MLNR0, MLNR1, MLNR2 and MLNR3 categories were 79%, 42%, 28% and 5%, respectively (p=0.0001). Due to our results, tumor size, differentiation degree, depth of invasion, presence of lymphovascular invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes, MLNR and disease stage were found to be associated with survival (p=0.0001). According to results of multivariate analysis, differentiation degree, presence of lymphovascular invasion and MLNR were found as independent risk factors, while number of metastatic lymph nodes was not an independent risk factor regarding survival. MLNR is an independent risk factor in gastric adenocarcinoma patients undergoing R0 resection regarding survival.

As we have known from the Ancient History of Human Beings that for
their survival of Life, People are always live closely to the water. It is because water
is a basic need for Human Beings. For this reason, People build their houses along the
River's banks or on the beaches. Based on this Philosophy, we have seen along the
Kahayan's River Bank at the Central Kalimantan in Indonesia, there are the
settlements on it. For having more accurate data, we also made some interviews to the
People, who live in this settlement. We also made some Interviews to the some
officials of the Local Government of Central Kalimantan. We also have made Library
Research for having more clearly of its Research and to make it accomplished. We
have found that, in this Urban Settlement, there are Three Characteristics Houses at
the Kahayan's River Bank – Central Kalimantan. Due to the Natural Conditions, the
People of its region have built their houses by adopting its surrounding/natural
conditions. The Houses are the Floating‟s Houses located really on the River; The
Scaffolding‟s Houses/the Upraised Platform Houses located between the River and
the Land/ Water and Soil; The Ordinary‟s Houses located on the earth/ground/soil.
Focusing on how the People of this Region fulfill their needs in adopting the
Nature's/Environment's condition. We have tried to understand and distributing this
knowledge by explaining their characteristics of the houses from these elements, such
as the Location; the Materials of the Buildings; How People Live in it; the Layout of
the Houses; the Infrastructure; the Transportation; Trade and Commerce; the
Problems of the Settlement and also the impact to the River. We give also the
solution of the problems. The purpose this report we would like to sharing our
knowledge to the German alumni, UKI, University of Palangka Raya and also we
would like to give this report to the local‟s government authority.

Napier grass is a popular tropical grass, employed by farmers in livestock nutrition. In this work, the matrices of matured shoots of P. purpureum (schumach) commonly called Napier grass, were subjected to proximate analysis, mineral content determination and phytochemical screening. The proximate profile includes moisture (91.00%), total ash (22.20% DW), crude protein (20.11% DW), crude fat (14.00% DW), total carbohydrate (27.24% DW) and the total metabolizable energy value (315.40 kcal/100g DW) was obtained. The mineral content determination revealed the presence of Calcium (1.479 mg/100g), Cadmium (0.001 mg/100g), Copper (0.017 mg/100g), Iron (0.200 mg/100g), Manganese (0.043 mg/100g), Potassium (10.715 mg/100g), Sodium (0.495 mg/100g), and Zinc (0.045 mg/100g). The presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, oils, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and absence of acidic compounds and resins were determined from the phytochemical screening carried out. This result suggests that Napier grass possesses several bioactivities of which antimicrobial activity is likely the significant activity. Also, the proximate composition and mineral content underlines its importance as a health food suitable for weight loss management of obese individuals, due to the high fibre content and low calorie value
