Disaster Recovery

Photo above is the condition Sidoarjo at this time, when you see the photos in the file "landscape disaster" will look different. Sidoarjo is only one of the disaster in Indonesia and the settlement still requires serious by the Indonesian government. A location that is now filled with drilling mud, such as sulfur and which has been shut nearly 1 out of district residential lots. Indonesia is very close to a variety of potential natural disasters, because the soil structure and geographical conditions that support the disaster. Suppose you heard about the tsunami disaster in Aceh, earthquake in Yogyakarta, and the latest disaster is the landslide and flooding in Situ Gintung Jakarta.

Natural disasters are a consequence of a combination of natural events (a physical event, such as mountain eruption, earthquake, landslide) and human activity. Because of human weakness, the effects of less well emergency management, causing losses in the field of financial and structural, even until death. The resulting loss depends on the ability to prevent or avoid disasters and their resistance.

Disaster is defined as the occurrence of events that can not be predicted and are very destructive. This identifies the occurrence of a sudden, unexpected, are very destructive, and less planning. Disaster occur with a frequency that is not stabilized and increased for those who do not prepare for the occurrence possibilities of disaster. Various disasters that may occur include:
1. Natural disasters caused by geological conditions and geographical location
2. Fire caused by environmental factors, and system settings that can cause electrical short circuit
3. Damage to the electricity network caused by electrical system
4. Terrorist attacks are caused by poor physical security and non-physical data center
5. System or device that damaged the error associated with management control device
6. Operational errors due to human done
7. The virus is caused by an error eg the selection of anti virus used

If disaster recovery is associated with the business world, will lead us in the # definition of Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) and # Business Continuity Plan (BCP). Business will depend on the spread of information and applications that process information, so the main application-specific standard to be is very critical so that when the interference occurs only when some of it can cripple a business company. For that reason, some companies have a direction that ensures business continuance available occur when a disaster or disruption that is not planned or already planned. This landing in the # Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP)

Data Replication

One thing that becomes very crucial in the Disaster Recovery is a data and information, as has been mentioned before is very important to maintain consistency of data and information for the company. This need can accommodative by using data replication technology. Data replication is a process of copying content data to a remote location either take place or continue at a certain interval. Replication of data will provide a complete copy of data for disaster recovery purposes. Location is usually the secondary remote data center.

But in reality not many companies in Indonesia that would meet the standards of disaster rescue. As happened in Sidoarjo is a mistake because the procedure of drilling companies.

About Paddy

According to history, including rice genus oryza L. which includes approximately 25 species, scattered in the area of the tropics and sub-tropical regions such as Asia, Africa, America and Australia. According to Chevalier and Neguier, rice comes from the two continents: Oryza Fatua Koenig and Oryza Sativa L come from Asia, while other types of rice that is Oryza Stapfli Roscher and Oryza Glaberrima Stend come from West Africa (African Continent). Oriza Fatura Koenig and Oryza Minuta Presl come Daru India (Himalaya)

Paddy is now a cross between Oryza Officinalis and Oryza Satira F. Spontonea. In Indonesia in the first rice grown in dry land areas with the field system, without irrigation. This is done also in other countries.

Paddy is one of the most important crop cultivation in human civilization. Although mainly based on the type of plant cultivation, rice is also used to refer to some type of family name (genus) are the same, which is called wild rice. World rice production ranks third of all cereal after maize and wheat. However, rice is the main carbohydrate source for the majority of the world.

Country's leading producers of rice is People's Republic of China (31% of the total world production), India (20%), and Indonesia (9%). However, only a small portion of rice production are among the world countries (only 5% -6% of the total world production). Thailand is a major exporter of rice (26% of the total rice sold in the world) followed by Vietnam (15%) and the United States (11%). Indonesia is the world's largest importer of rice (14% of rice sold in the world) followed by Bangladesh (4%), and Brazil (3%).

Farmers and rice are always a couple of victims from the rice trade in Indonesia. If you follow the news in Indonesia within a period of 5 years, the farmers are always losers, but the price of rice tended to increase each year. In fact almost most of the people of Indonesia need rice as staple food, while the eastern Indonesian region need more corn. This issue is not added to the problems of drug syndicate and fertilizer. One more disadvantaged farmers by the system going again.

While the rice fields have become the building and housing of citizen. A map the village became a city, a map of the rice into housing.

The heat of the day the workers are the harvest of rice, staple food for the people of Indonesia and other Asian countries.

Why Thinking?

Do you ever imagine how the structure of our brain and how does it work?

This is a note that I read a daily newspaper in Indonesia (2000). Understanding how work the human brain rapidly increased. Peak recognition is granted to the three scientists who seriously learn, they are eligible to receive a Nobel Prize for the field of physiology or Medicine for this year. They are Arvid Carlsson of Sweden and the United States two experts, Paul Greengard and Eric Thick. The report will not discuss all the results of the three figures above, but more focused on the findings of Arvid Carlsson deemed meritorious in understanding the function of dopamin (dopamine) as a transmitter in the brain and how important chemical compound for the ability to move us.

The award of the Nobel Prize that year Medical is the recognition that basic research can be established and applied in the estuary practical purposes, that is the invention of modern medicines. Medicines is a answers for various diseases which have a lot of strain of the human race, such as Parkinson disease, depression, and schizophrenia.

Research conducted by Arvid Carlsson, for example, has been directing the people of Parkinson disease, which was caused by lack / absence of certain dopamin in the brain. With the This knowledge can then dikembangkanlah treatment with substitution (agonist), which is similar dopamin, the drug called L-dopa (Levo-dopa) that is quite effective. With this therapy degree dopamin someone can be. Pope John Paul II that the disease Parkinson estimated to have this therapy in addition to lowering therapy asetilkolin degree, so that the offset between dopamin.

Arvid Carlsson showed that successful in the human brain there are high degree of dopamin in the ganglia basalis, which is the area important to control muscle movement. In the patients the disease Parkinson, nerve cells in the brain that produces dopamin, fiber syarafnya stick to the ganglia basalis dead. This causes the symptoms such as tremor, muscle stiffness, and decrease the ability for someone move.

In the human brain there are a hundred billion nerve cells. They are linked one another through a complex network of nerves of the extent of not countless. Messages from one nerve cell to another nerve cell transmissions through a different chemical transmitter, which was then commonly called as neurotransmitter. Transduksi nerve signals antarsel going on in this dots is called a special contact sinaps. A nerve cell can have thousands of such contacts with the nerve cells other.

Arvid Carlsson has conducted research in the field of neurologi stub since end of the 1950s, especially on dopamin. At that time scientists dopamin still believes that only a prekursor of neurotransmitter, namely noradrenalin. Carlsson successfully break this presumption, because he found that the dopamin concentrated in the area of the brain from another place noradrenalin, and he concluded, is a transmitter dopamin which are separate from noradrenalin.

In addition to the success of treat Parkinson patients, research has been Carlsson improve our understanding of several other drugs. He successfully shows the drugs antispikotik which is widely used to treat schizophrenia patients, with the influence to block the transmission sinaptik
receptors dopamin. Carlsson findings have very important meaning for treatment depression, a psychiatric disease that most often experienced humans.

He also greatly contributed to developing medicines antidepresi generation new, namely the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Drugs this group had appeared terlaris in the United States, such as Prozac (flouxetine) that in the early 1990s omzet reach 1 billion U.S. dollars, even then begin to decline in popularity because debated as "capsule personality", which make the patient as though meminumnya changes in personality. Position now tergeser by Zoloft (sertraline). Both these drugs circulating in Indonesia, can be competitive sponsor in the First National Conference on schizophrenia, while that.

dr Jan Sudir Ancient PhD, Head Neuroendokrinologi headline / Neuroimunologi Section Neurologi Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia / Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (FKUI / RSCM) stated that the development of knowledge about neurotransmitter is extraordinary rapid. "Neurology modern and applied particularly steep neurotransmitter developed since 1980. Already known at that time an 20-type. In 1988 when I was a assistant in the Section Neurologi FK Vrije University of Amsterdam increased so 40-an, and jumped again in 1990 so 50's. Now the number is so hundreds up to eighty, "he said. As a result, medicines for hysteria and psychosis are more specific, similar to the development of antibiotics.
