The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of education, training and

motivation on the employees performance, either simultaneously or partially, at t

he Regional Secretariat of Aceh. The study conducted in the scope of the Regiona
l Secretariat of Aceh, with the object of study is limited only to the variables
of education, training and motivation as an independent variable and the employ
ees performance as the dependent variable. Samples were taken as much as 17 perce
nt of the total 586 employees, which are 100 respondents. The results of the stu
dy have shown that the training variable significantly influence the employees pe
rformance at the Regional Secretariat of Aceh. Motivation variable also signific
antly influence on the employees performance of Regional Secretariat of Aceh. Var
iable that has the most significant influence on the employees performance at Reg
ional Secretariat of Aceh is the motivation. Education, training and motivation
found to have a significant effect on the employees performance at Regional Secre
tariat of Aceh. Education, training and motivation variables could explain the c
hanges in the employees performance at Regional Secretariat of Aceh for 44.5 perc
ent and the balance of 55.5 percent is explained by other variables which did no
t included in the this research. The results recommend the Regional Secretariat
of Aceh to provide motivation and training to its employees so that the employees
performance will improve
One of the menstrual disorders that cause physical discomfort is dysmenorrhea. D
ysmenorrhea is the menstrual pain that felt in the lower abdominal and spreads t
o the pelvis that can disturbing daily activities. One of the activities that ca
n be interrupted is a learning activity. Female students who experience dysmenor
rhea is certainly very disturbed when the learning process in schools because it
takes a mental as well as physical activity to absorb the subject so that girls
are difficult to concentrate and having decreased learning motivation
The purpose of this research was to find out the correlation between the pain le
vel of dysmenorrhea and The Female students learning activities in SMK NU 01 Ken
dal.
Method of this research performed the survey analytic with the cross sectional r
esearch design. The population is the female students in Nahdhatul Ulama Senior
High School 01 Kendal with a sample of 69 people, determined by purposive sampli
ng technique. The data obtained through the questionnaire that has been prepared
.
A strong correlation was found between the pain level of dysmenorrhea and The Fe
male students learning activities as The result of Rank Spearman Analysis showed
p value = 0.000 <a = 0.05,which means that Ho is rejected.
whereas there was a strong correlation between the pain level of dysmenorrhea an

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used to assess cartilage a
fter surgical repair. The correlation between MRI and clinical outcomes is not w
ell understood.
HYPOTHESIS: Postoperative MRI findings correlate with clinical outcome measures
in patients after articular cartilage surgery of the knee.
STUDY DESIGN: Meta-analysis.
METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify studies
in which MRI and clinical outcomes were correlated after autologous chondrocyte
implantation (ACI), osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS), or microfra
cture. Studies that reported correlation coefficients (r) for different MRI para
meters were then included in a meta-analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 26 studies were identified for inclusion in this systematic
review, 15 of which were included in the meta-analysis. Most of the studies (n =
19) involved ACI, although studies were available for OATS (n = 5) and microfra
cture (n = 4). The strongest MRI correlates with clinical outcomes after ACI wer
e graft hypertrophy (r = 0.72) and repair tissue signal (r = 0.71). After microf
racture, the strongest MRI correlates were the Henderson score (r = 0.97), subch
ondral edema (r = 0.77), and repair tissue signal (r = 0.76). Correlations after
OATS were not as strong, with defect fill (r = 0.53) and repair tissue structur
e (r = 0.51) being the strongest.
CONCLUSION: The MRI findings do correlate with clinical outcomes after cartilage
repair surgery in the knee, although the specific parameters that correlate bes
t vary by the type of procedure performed. No current MRI classification system
has been shown to correlate with clinical outcomes after all types of cartilage
repair surgery.
BACKGROUND: In advanced gastric cancer, the relationship between tumor response
and prognosis is far from clear.
METHODS: We performed a pooled analysis on published data from 4593 patients in
25 randomized trials of first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. A w
eighed analysis was used to investigate the correlation between objective respon
se rate (RR) and time to progression (TTP) and overall survival time (OS).
RESULTS: A moderate correlation was found between RR and TTP and OS (r = 0.49 an
d r = 0.45, respectively) in all 25 trials. In treatment arms without new drugs
including irinotecan, taxanes, or oxaliplatin, RR also was associated with TTP a
nd OS (r = 0.56 and r = 0.47, respectively). However, no association between RR
and OS was found, whereas there was a moderate correlation between RR and TTP (r
= 0.41) in treatment arms using new drugs.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that response to treatment was related to TTP
and OS. The potential role of objective response as a surrogate in chemotherapy
trials of advanced gastric cancer warrants further investigation, especially wi
th regard to treatment with new drugs.
