Comparison test of Fast Neutron Activation Analysis (FNAA) and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) method for analysis of Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb elements in Code river sediment samples has been done. Comparisons of test used Standard Reference materials (SRM) sample, covering the validation test, t test and F test for both method and then these methods were used to analyze the Code river sediment samples. Comparisons test result show that the validity of both method are around 92.69 % to 98.12 % and t test show that there is no significant difference in average concentration, F test of both methods show that there is no difference in accuracy. The analysis  result of Code sediment using FNAA for Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb are (15.41 - 53.92) ppm, (1.82 - 3.66) ppm, (14.72 - 87.28) ppm, (18.23 - 109.31) ppm respectively, while those using AAS method are (13.71 - 51.11) ppm, (1.64 - 3.33) ppm, (12.81 - 86.75) ppm, (15.74 - 105.53) ppm, respectively. Statistic result test using ANOVA method showed that the concentration of Cr are not significantly differences within sampling locations, while those for Cd, Cr, Pb show a significant difference within sampling location   Keywords: FNAA, AAS, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, sediment samples

The validity test of Fast Neutron Activation Analysis (FNAA) and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) method for analysis of Cu and Fe elements in biota samples has been done. The validity test was represented by the validation test, homogenous test, Z-score test, t test and F test for both methods. The respective validity test results for Cu and Fe elements show that the FNAA precision test were 2.28% and 2.96% while the accuracy were 98.07% and 98.55%, and the precision of AAS validation test results were 1.72% and 2.29% and the accuracy were 98.50% and 98.35%. The uncertainty results for Cu and Fe by FNAA were 2.74% and 3.42%, while AAS were 2.98% and 3.73%. The limit of detection  for both methods of Cu and Fe were 1.05 µg/g and 1.35 µg/g, while AAS were 0.05 µg/g  and 0.904 µg/g, and the value of Z-score in the range ≥-2 and ≤+2 for both methods. In this case the precision, accuracy, uncertainty, limit of detection and value Z-score on both methods  are valid or property to be applied for element analysis. After FNAA and AAS methods were validated then were applied for determining of element contents in biota samples. From the homogenous test result was found that the samples of biota is homogeny, while t test shows that there is no significant difference in average concentration, F test of both methods shows that there is no difference in accuracy.   Keywords: The validity test, FNAA and AAS, Cu and Fe, biota samples

Abstract: Smoking is one of the factors causing decline of lung function characterized by impairment of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC. This study was aimed to obtain the differences in FEV1 between smokers and non smokers, among smokers based on duration of smoking, and among smokers based on the number of cigarettes per day in medical students of University of Sam Ratulangi Manado. This was an observational analytic study. Data were analyzed by using the independent T test and the ANOVA with the F Test. Subjects were 40 males, consisted of 20 smokers and 20 non-smokers. Six smokers had smoked for 2-5 years and 14 smokers had smoked for >5 years. Smoking less than10 cigarettes/day, 10-20 cigarettes/day, and more than 20 cigarettes/day were found in 8, 9, and 3 subjects respectively. The independent T-test showed that there was no significant difference in FEV1 between smokers and non-smokers (p=0.250). The independent T-test also showed that there was no significant difference in FEV1 between smokers of 2-5 years and smokers of more than 5 years (p=0.117). The ANOVA test showed that there was no significant difference in FEV1 between smokers of <10 cigarettes/day, 10-20 cigarettes/day, and >20 cigarettes/day (p=0.481). Conclusion: In this study there were no significant differences in FEV1 between smokers and non smokers, among smokers based on duration of smoking, and among smokers based on the number of cigarettes per day.Keywords: smoker, non smoker, FEV1, duration of smoking, number of cigarette Abstrak: Merokok adalah salah satu faktor penyebab penurunan fungsi paru yang ditandai oleh penurunan nilai volume Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), dan rasio FEV1/FVC.

The present study was carried out in Nawapara APMC in Chhattisgarh to examine the changes brought about by the e-NAM intervention in the arrivals and prices of paddy. To identify the factors that influence farmers’ participation in the e-NAM platform, several 75 farmers were selected and interviewed. F test and t-test were adopted to analyze the equality of variances and means of the market arrivals and prices of paddy before and after e-NAM adoption. The study results show that both the monthly arrivals and modal prices of paddy were higher post-e-NAM integration than before it was integrated. The percentage changes before and after e-NAM in the arrivals and prices were 29.28 percent and 24.21 percent, respectively. There is no significant ratio in variances, whereas there is a significant difference in the means of both the arrivals and prices, as shown by F and t t-test results. The factors that motivated the farmers to do trading on the e-NAM platform were found to be influenced mainly by remunerative price followed by better price than the open auction, more transparency, and absence of middlemen. This indicated that the implementation of the e-NAM platform has a positive impact on arrivals and prices. The impact may be more visible once it is implemented in the true sense of conceptualized.

This study analyzes the differences in transformational leadership between generation X and generation Y and its effect on company performance in two power generation companies in North Sumatra Province. The number of samples was 50 people in each group of generations X and Y. Data analysis using SPSS included F-test, T-test, the coefficient of determination, and independent sample T-test. The F-test shows that charismatic variables, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual considerations simultaneously affect the performance of each group of generation X and generation Y. The results of the T-test in generation X show that the variables of inspirational motivation and individual considerations are partially has a positive and significant effect on company performance, meanwhile in generation Y only charismatic variables have a positive and significant influence on company performance. The results of the coefficient of determination said that the transformational leadership of generation X contributed 70.2% to the company performance, while the transformational leadership of the Y generation contributed 22.3% to the company performance.

Radiographic Mandibular Indices serve as easy and relatively cheap tools for evaluating bone mineralization. Objectives: To examine the effect of age and gender on three mandibular indices: the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), the mandibular ratio (MR) and the mandibular cortical index (MCI), among Libyan population. Methods: The three indices were measured on 317 digital (OPGs) of adult humans (155 males, 162 females). The sample was divided into six age groups (from 18-25 years through 56-65 years). The measurements were analyzed for interactions with age and sex, using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) software version no. 22. The tests employed were two way ANOVA, the unpaired T-test and chi-square test. Results: The mean PMI fluctuated between 0.37 s.d. 0.012 and 0.38 s.d. 0.012. among the sixth age groups. One-way ANOVA statistical test revealed no significant of age on PMI. On the other hand gender variation has effect on PMI, since independent sample t-test disclosed that the difference between the male and female PMI means statistically significant. ANOVA test showed that the means of MR among age groups showed a negative correlation i.e. MR mean declined from 3.01 in 18-25 age groups to 2.7 in 55-65 age groups. In contrary, the gender showed no effect on MR according two sample t-test at p> 0.05. In regards with MCI, statistical analysis showed that it affected by age that is C1 was decreasing by age while C2 and C3 were increased by age. Using chi square test the result indicated that there is a significant difference among the different age group and the two genders in MCI readings. Conclusion: PMI was influenced significantly by age but minimally by the gender. MR is not affected by gender but has a negative correlation with age. MCI is affected by both age and gender
