To minimize field costs, it is ordinarily efficient to select sample trees by cluster sampling; that is, to select several trees from the same geographical location. But when the sample trees are used to construct biomass tables, it is also customary to use regression techniques based on the simple random sampling assumption. This procedure gives rise to errors in the statistical analysis that are largely ignored.A method is shown to evaluate the validity of the regression analysis when the undefined relationship between a dependent variable y and an independent variable x can be sufficiently well approximated by a line of the form y = βx. This method is then applied to two samples of trees selected in clusters of approximately five trees. The regression of nine variables y (various biomass components) on six variables x (functions of tree diameter and height) are then considered. It is shown that analyzing data selected by cluster sampling as data selected by simple random sampling results in relatively large errors in the interval estimates of β. More specifically, the confidence intervals based on the random sampling assumption are ordinarily found to be between 60 and 80% of those based on the cluster sampling assumption. Within the regression model used, however, the point estmates of β remained unchanged.

To construct tree biomass tables it is customary to select the sample trees by cluster sampling and then to apply the classical least squares regression techniques under the assumption of simple random sampling. A modified linear regression procedure is proposed for which the assumption of simple random sampling is no longer required. The procedure can be used when (i) the regression of a biomass component on tree characteristics other than biomass can be approximated reasonably well by a linear function and (ii) the number of sample clusters is sufficiently large. Applied to two large cluster samples of trees, where the cluster size is approximately equal to five trees, and compared with the classical linear regression approach, the modified procedure results in biomass tables which arc essentially the same. The confidence intervals, however, are quite different. The classical least squares regression method results in intervals which, on the average, are about 60% as large as those calculated by the modified procedure.

The jam is a semi-solid food made from fruit or other processed product. The manufacturing process can add food additives (BTP), one of which is artificial sweeteners such as cyclamate. Cyclamate can be harmful to health if consumed in levels that exceed the maximum limit.The purpose of this research was to identificate and determine the cyclamate content of unbranded jam in the traditional market town of makassar. The type of research used is laboratory observation with simple random sampling technique. This research  was conducted qualitatively (depositional method) and quantitatively (gravimetric method). Based on the results of the research from 7 (seven) samples of unmerck jam there were 2 (two) positive samples containing cyclamate with cyclamate levels obtained, namely the K sample 0f 42.273,78 mg/kg and sample T3 of 49, 822. 67 mg/kg. In this study it can be concluded that 2 (two) samples of unbranded jam contained cyclamate levels that exceed the maximum limit set by BPOM No. 4 of 2014, namely 1000 mg/kg and so it is not safe for consumption.

This research is to observe the purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of breastfeeding toward the development of children aged 6 - 12 months living in RW 04 Sambibulu Village, Taman Sub-district, Sidoarjo. The design of  research was analytic  retrospective  study. The population involved 29 couples with their children aged 6  -  12 months living in the above mentioned region. The simple random sampling technique was used to take 27 couples as the samples of research. The independent variable of this research was breastfeeding, whereas the dependent one was  the child’s development. Questionnaires of breast and checklist of KPSP (Pre Screening Questionnaire for Child Development) were used to collect the data which analyzed by using Mann-Whitney’s statistic test with the significance level α = 0.05, it means that there was a relationship between breastfeeding and  the development of children p (0.000) < α (0.05)

Pemerintah Kota Banjar dalam memberikan pelayanan kesehatan masih tergantung kepada kebijakan perimbangan keuangan, karena terbatasnya sumberdaya yang di miliki. Implementasi kebijakan perimbangan keuangan yang belum optimal dengan indikasi terbatasnya kemampuan sumberdaya manusia, baik secara kualitas maupun kuantitas yang memperlihatkan kecenderungan pengaruh yang terbesar dalam dimensi implementasi kebijakan. Keterbatasan kemampuan dalam mengelola sumber daya baik sumberdaya alam maupun sumberdaya manusia sangat tergantung kepada kemampuan keuangan daerah sendiri dalam pembiayaan penyelenggaraan otonomi daerahnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksplanasi, dengan sample gugus bertahap (Cluster sampling), pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara bertahap berdasarkan wilayah-wilayah administratif yang terdapat pusat pelayanan kesehatan dengan metode acak sederhana (Simple Random Sampling). Pengolahan data diuji dengan menggunakan Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) dengan suatu prosedur yang di dasarkan pada Methods of Succesive Interval. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan perimbangan keuangan dalam pelaksanaan otonomi daerah yang didasarkan pada dimensi komunikasi, sumberdaya, disposisi/sikap pelaksana dan struktur birokrasi secara bersama-sama atau tersendiri secara signifikan mempengaruhi kualitas pelayanan kesehatan. Dimensi dukungan merupakan dimensi yang paling besar pengaruhnya terhadap peningkatan pelayanan kesehatan diikuti dengan struktur birokrasi, sumberdaya dan komunikasi.

During a recent pilot survey in Newfoundland, forest data were collected using a stratified, one-stage cluster-sampling design. The data were analyzed to determine if, within the stratified framework, cluster sampling would be more efficient than simple random sampling. Each cluster consisted of five point-samples located in a straight line. For the analysis, volume and variance estimates were determined from clusters of 1,2,3,4 and 5 points. During the survey, records were kept of the time required to complete various field-sampling tasks. These were used in lieu of cost data in the analysis. Results indicated that, for the given conditions, simple random sampling was more efficient than cluster sampling. However, relatively small changes in the conditions would make cluster sampling more efficient.
