Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs are not permanent. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient machine. _________________________________________.

We know that doctors and other health-care workers are meticulous about washing their hands. What about their clothes? A recent New York Times article highlighted growing concerns in the US about the role that doctors’ garments play in the spread of bacteria. According to the newspaper, the discussion was repeated this year in the US when the British National Health Service imposed ‘bare below the elbows’ rule. It does not allow doctors to wear ties and long sleeves, both of which are known to accumulate germs as doctors move from patient to patient. The article reported a study from the New York Hospital Medical Centre of Queens that compared the ties of 40 doctors and medical students with those of 10 security guards. It found that about half the ties worn by medical personnel were a reservoir for germs, compared with just one in 10 of the ties taken from security guards.
When asked about the subject of doctors’ clothes and their possible role in the spread of infections, most local doctors, and some hospitals, declined to comment. Associate Professor Dale Fisher, the Chairman of infection control said that ties and other pieces of clothes are sometimes referred to as reservoirs for microorganism that may cause nosocomial infection (infection caught while staying in a hospital) but he added that the risk of infections from contaminated clothes needed to be put in perspective.

1. Penanganan lumpur yang menyembur dari areal konsesi PT Lapindo Brantas yang menghabiskan dana Rp2,8 triliun gagal mencegah bertambah luasnya areal yang terkena dampak semburan. Namun, dari Rp1,3 triliun anggaran bagi Badan Penanggulangan Lumpur Sidoarjo pada 2011, tak ada alokasi untuk mengkaji dan menutup semburan. Menurut koordinator Advokasi dan Investigasi Forum Indonesia untuk Transparansi Anggaran, dana Rp1,3 triliun yang dianggarkan dalam APBN 2011 digunakan Badan Penanggulangan Lumpur Sidoarjo (BPLS) untuk membayar gaji pegawai, bantuan, dan ganti rugi bagi warga, serta pemeliharaan tanggul. Selain areal terdampak yang terus meluas sejak terjadinya tahun 2006, membiarkan lumpur menyembur meningkatkan risiko. Gunungan lumpur di sekitar pusat semburan lumpur Lapindo longsor dan mengempas tiga kapal keruk yang sedang beroperasi. Karena kapal keruk dan pipa pengeruk rusak, pengerukan lumpur terhenti hingga dua pekan. Menurut relawan Pos Keselamatan Korban Lumpur Lapindo, akibat kerusakan formasi geologis di sekitar formasi semburan, muncul gelembung gas metana yang mudah terbakar. Gelembung gas itu terus bermunculan hingga kini, bahkan mencapai kawasan di sebelah barat badan jalan tol baru. Semakin lama dibiarkan menyembur, risiko ledakan akibat konsentrasi gas metana semakin tinggi, bahkan di areal relokasi tol yang sebelumnya dinyatakan aman.

Indonesia hingga kini masih sebagai negara berkembang dengan tingkat pengangguran dan kemiskinan yang tinggi. Sebagai negara maritim dan kepulauan terbesar di dunia, dengan luas laut 5,8 juta kilometer persegi (75 persen dari total wilayah Indonesia), Indonesia memiliki beragam potensi SDA kelautan yang bisa didayagunakan melalui 11 sektor ekonomi: perikanan tangkap, perikanan budi daya, industri pengolahan hasil perikanan, industri bioteknologi kelautan, pertambangan dan energi, pariwisata bahari, kehutanan, perhubungan laut, sumber daya wilayah pulau-pulau kecil, industri dan jasa maritim, serta SDA nonkonvensional. Potensi produksi lestari sumber daya ikan laut Indonesia yang dapat dipanen mencapai 6,4 juta ton per tahun atau delapan persen dari potensi lestari ikan laut dunia. Pada 2009, tingkat pemanfaatannya mencapai 4,8 juta ton. Indonesia juga memiliki potensi industri bioteknologi kelautan berbasis sumber daya keanekaragaman hayati laut paling besar di dunia. Potensi ekonomi perikanan dan bioteknologi kelautan diperkirakan mencapai 100 miliar dolar AS setiap tahunnya atau setara dengan besarnya APBN 2009. Sementara itu, potensi ekonomi industri bioteknologi kelautan dunia diperkirakan empat kali lipat industri teknologi informasi saat ini. Sejatinya potensi ekonomi pariwisata bahari Indonesia sangat besar dengan 95.200 kilometer garis pantai-terpanjang kedua di dunia setelah Kanada. Jika dibandingkan dengan Queensland, Australia, dengan panjang garis pantai yang hanya 2.100 kilometer, tetapi mampu menghasilkan devisa pariwisata bahari sebesar 2 miliar dolar AS per tahun. Jepang dengan panjang garis pantai 34.000 km menghasilkan 33,9 miliar dolar AS.

Sebagai negara maritim dan kepulauan terbesar di dunia, dengan luas laut 5,8 juta kilometer persegi (75 persen dari total wilayah Indonesia), Indonesia memiliki beragam potensi SDA kelautan yang bisa didayagunakan melalui 11 sektor ekonomi: perikanan tangkap, perikanan budi daya, industri pengolahan hasil perikanan, industri bioteknologi kelautan, pertambangan dan energi, pariwisata bahari, kehutanan, perhubungan laut, sumber daya wilayah pulau-pulau kecil, industri dan jasa maritim, serta SDA nonkonvensional. Potensi produksi lestari sumber daya ikan laut Indonesia yang dapat dipanen mencapai 6,4 juta ton per tahun atau delapan persen dari potensi lestari ikan laut dunia. Pada 2009, tingkat pemanfaatannya mencapai 4,8 juta ton. Indonesia juga memiliki potensi industri bioteknologi kelautan berbasis sumber daya keanekaragaman hayati laut paling besar di dunia. Potensi ekonomi perikanan dan bioteknologi kelautan diperkirakan mencapai 100 miliar dolar AS setiap tahunnya atau setara dengan besarnya APBN 2009. Sementara itu, potensi ekonomi industri bioteknologi kelautan dunia diperkirakan empat kali lipat industri teknologi informasi saat ini. Sejatinya potensi ekonomi pariwisata bahari Indonesia sangat besar dengan 95.200 kilometer garis pantai-terpanjang kedua di dunia setelah Kanada. Jika dibandingkan dengan Queensland, Australia, dengan panjang garis pantai yang hanya 2.100 kilometer, tetapi mampu menghasilkan devisa pariwisata bahari sebesar 2 miliar dolar AS per tahun. Jepang dengan panjang garis pantai 34.000 km menghasilkan 33,9 miliar dolar AS.

Di awal alinea kedua disebutkan bahwa Indonesia adalah negara maritim dan kepulauan terbesar di dunia. Dalam sejarahnya, Indonesia pada abad VIII pernah memiliki kerajaan maritim yang memiliki armada laut yang kuat, yaitu ….
(1) Kediri
(2) Majapahit
(3) Mataram Hindu

In studying the phenomenon usually referred to as sleep, we are actually dealing with more than one phenomenon.
In point of fact, we spend the night alternating between two different types of sleep, each with different brain mechanism
and different purposes.

As a person falls asleep, his brain waves develop a slower and less regular pattern than in a waking state. This is
called orthodox sleep. In this state the brain is apparently resting. Its blood supply is reduced, and its temperature falls
slightly. Breathing and heart rate are regular. The muscles remain slightly tensed. After about an hour in this state,
however, the brain waves begin to show a more active pattern again, even though the person is apparently asleep very
deeply. This is called paradoxical sleep because it has much in common with being awake.

Paradoxical (active) sleep is marked by irregular breathing and heart rate, increased blood supply to the brain, and
increased brain temperature. Most of the muscles are relaxed. There are various jerky movements of the body and face,
including short burst of rapid eye movement, which indicate that we are dreaming. Thus, we spend the night alternating
between these two vital ‘restoration jobs’: working on the brain and working on the body.

The first ancient DNA sequences to be gathered-34000 base pairs from a 2400-years-old
egyptian mummy-were a proof of principle. A full genome sequence would be more far more
informative-perhaps explaining what killed King Tut, for instance. At present, Inuk’s is the only
published ancient human genome. However, a team led by Svante Paabo and Green at the Max
Planck Institute for Evolutory Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany will soon publish the complete
genome sequence combined together from several Neanderthals, from between 38,000 and
70,000 years ago.

Neanderthals are not the only hominids whose genomes could be sequenced, says Willerslev.
Homo erectus, a species that emerged in Africa about 2 million years ago, survived in East Asia until
less than 100.000 years ago. If well preserved bones from Spain belonging to Homo heidelbergensis,
the predecessor to Neanderthals. “We are basically starting on it right now,” he says. If theses
genomes ever materialize- and that’s a big if- they branched off. If the genetic information is good
enough, it may tell us something about the nature of past people-possibly even what they looked
like. Ancient human genomes could give us insights into the evoluation of our species, explaining
when genes involved in disease and higher cognitive skill emerged.

But DNA is not forever. As it ages, its long strands shred into ever smaller pieces. Eventually
they become small to reassemble, and all information is lost. “There seems to be a time horizon of
100.000 year so under most preservation conditions during which intact DNA survives,” Green says.
Stephan Schuster at Pennsylvania State University, who led wooly mammpeth genome project,

The first ancient DNA sequences to be gathered-34000 base pairs from a 2400-years-old
egyptian mummy-were a proof of principle. A full genome sequence would be more far more
informative-perhaps explaining what killed King Tut, for instance. At present, Inuk’s is the only
published ancient human genome. However, a team led by Svante Paabo and Green at the Max
Planck Institute for Evolutory Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany will soon publish the complete
genome sequence combined together from several Neanderthals, from between 38,000 and
70,000 years ago.

Neanderthals are not the only hominids whose genomes could be sequenced, says Willerslev.
Homo erectus, a species that emerged in Africa about 2 million years ago, survived in East Asia until
less than 100.000 years ago. If well preserved bones from Spain belonging to Homo heidelbergensis,
the predecessor to Neanderthals. “We are basically starting on it right now,” he says. If theses
genomes ever materialize- and that’s a big if- they branched off. If the genetic information is good
enough, it may tell us something about the nature of past people-possibly even what they looked
like. Ancient human genomes could give us insights into the evoluation of our species, explaining
when genes involved in disease and higher cognitive skill emerged.

But DNA is not forever. As it ages, its long strands shred into ever smaller pieces. Eventually
they become small to reassemble, and all information is lost. “There seems to be a time horizon of
100.000 year so under most preservation conditions during which intact DNA survives,” Green says.

John Apollos is losing weight the old-fashioned way- by eating less. A whole lot less. As a volunteer in the two year Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) study at Tufts University in Boston, Apollos has lowered his daily calorie intake 25% over the past eight months. The fat, not surprisingly, has melted away; the 52-years-old physical trainer has lost more than 11 kg since the study began and down to his school weight.

Yet, that’s not the real reason Apollos and the other participants in the program are eating only three quarters of what they used to. The researchers running the multicenter CALERIE study are trying to determine whether restricting food intake can slow the aging process and extend our life span. “I feel better and lighter and healthier,” says Apollos. “But if it could help you live longer, that would be pretty amazing,” The idea is counterintuitive: If we eat to live, how can starving ourselves add years to our lives? Yet, decades of calories restriction studies involving organism ranging from microscopic yeast to rats have shown just that, extending the life spans of the semi starved as much as 50%. Last July a long-term study let by the researchers at the University of Winconsin nudged the implications of this a bit closer to our species, finding that calorie restriction seemed to extend the lives of human like rhesus monkey as well. The hungry primates fell victim to diabetes, heart and brain disease and cancer much less frequently than their well-fed counterparts did.

However, there may be more than just the absence of disease operating here. Anytime you go on diet, after all, you stand a good chance of lowering your blood pressure, cholesterol level and risk of diabetes and other health woes. All that can translate into extra years. With calorie restriction, usually defined as a diet with 25% to 30% fewer calories than normal but still containing essential nutrients, something else appears to be at work to extend longevity.

Furtur research, conducted by Dean Mobbs, then at Stanford University in California, uncovered a second point of activity in brain’s limbic system associated with dopamine release and reward processing-which may explain the pleasure felt once you “get” a joke. Examining on particular part of the limbic system-the ventral striatum-was especially revealing, as its level of activity corresponded with the perceived funniness of a joke. “It’s the same region that is involved in many different types of reward, from drugs, to sex and our favourite music,” says Mobbs, now at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, UK. “Humour thus taps into basic reward systems that are important of our survival”.

Yet humor a far more multifaceted process than primeval pleasure like food. In addition the two core processes of getting the joke and feeling good about it, jokes also active regions of the frontal and cingulated cortex, which are linked with association information, learning and decision-making. The team also found presenting humans and, in a less developed form, great apes. Indeed, the fact that these regions are involved suggest that humour is an advanced ability which may have only evolved in early human, says Watson, who conducted the research.

No two brains are the same, however, and how these differences are reflected in our sense of humour is the subject of much research. Men and women, for example, seem to process jokes slightly differently. Although both sexes laugh at roughly the same number of jokes, women show greater activity in the left prefrontal cortex than men. “This suggest a greater degree of executive processing and language-based decoding,” says Mobbs. As result, women take significantly much longers than men to decide whether they find something funny, though that does not seem to spoil their enjoyment of the joke. Indeed, women show greater response in the limbic system than men, suggesting they feel a greater sense of reward.
