Text I
Heart disease is Western society’s number-one killer. It accounts for one - third of all deaths in America and for well over half the deaths among middle-aged men. Heart disease was relatively rare in America at the turn of the century, but it has risen dramatically since then, with a slight downturn in 1960.
Heart disease is often viewed as a disease of modern living, spurred on by the habits and the stress of industrialized society. Evidence for this idea comes from the. fact that non-Western societies have relatively low rates of heart disease. And there is a higher rate of heart disease among immigrants to America, such as Japanese Americans and Chinese-Americans, than among those who remain in their native country, suggesting that something about the Western environment promotes the development of the disease.
Heart disease usually involves the formation of a fatty substance called plague in the walls of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. If the arteries become narrowed enough or blocked, the person may suffer a heart attack, that is death of a region of heart muscle tissue.
Among the many factors that have been found to be related to the risk of developing heart disease are high blood pressure, a history of heart disease among one's close relatives, cigarette smoking, being relatively overwight, and a high level of a fatty substance called cholesterol in the blood. In addition to all of these well-established risk factors, it is now clear that stress can have a major impact on the development of heart disease. People whocontinually undergo a great deal of stress - and who lack the ability to control it - are at a significantly greater risk for disease than people who undergo less stress or who can manage stress sucessfully. Jobs that impose high psychological demans but thet provide the worker with the little control - such as a cook, waiter,and hospital orderly - seem to beed heart disease.
01. There is a higher number of heart patients among Japanese and Chinese immigrants in the U.S. because
(A) the U,S. has the highest rate of heart disease in the world
(B) they might not have been able to cope with the stress of living in an industrialised society
(C) the food in the U.S. contains too much cholesterol
(D) they are often unjustly treated in their adopted home country
(E) they work hard to create a better life for their children

Perkembangan Prosessor

Perkembangan Prosessor

Kita ketahui bahwa prosessor merupakan komponen utama pada komputer, yang mengontrol berbagai macam kegiatan yang dilakukan komputer. kita ketahui bahwa kinerja komputer saat ini sangat bebeda sekali dengan kinerja komputer jaman dahulu. komputer saat ini  memilki banyak macam aplkasi dan software yang dapat digunakan sedangkan komputer dijaman dahulu belum ada. Maka kinerja prosessor dahulu dan prosessor saat ini sangat berbeda sekali, untuk mengetahui perkembangan teknolgi prosessor dari generasi ke generasi.

Monitor

Jenis Monitor Serta Kelebihan & Kekurangan

Sebelum membeli monitor, sebaiknya sobat sesuaikan dulu dengan kebutuhan sobat untuk menggunakan monitor tersebut, jangan sampai anda hanya menuruti trend jaman sekarang dan yang terpenting sesuaikan dengan jumlah budget yang anda punya,, karena akan ada banyak pilihan ketika sobat datang di toko-toko Komputer/Monitor.

Berikut adalah jenis-jenis monitor beserta kelebihan dan kekuranganya :

CRT

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor komputer adalah monitor komputer yang paling umum sampai layar panel datar menjadi terjangkau. Serupa dengan TV tua, monitor CRT masih biasanya memiliki rasio kontras yang lebih baik dan sudut pandang dari alternatif monitor komputer lainnya.
Kelebihan : Tipe CRT memiliki kelebihan dalam hal High Dynamic Range ( hingga mencapai 15000:1),reproduksi warna sangat baik, wide gamut dan level black yang sangat rendah.Selain itu, monitor ini dapat menampilkan hampir semua resolusi native dan refresh rate dan memiliki Viewing angle yang sangat baik.Harga yang ditawarkan juga jauh lebih murah dibandingkan jenis monitor LCD atau Plasma.
Kekurangan : CRT memiliki ukuran yang berat dan body besar, terutama untuk ukuran display diatas 20".Membutuhkan daya yang besar dan operasional suhu yang tinggi.Pada sisi reproduksi gambar,pada refresh rate yang rendah,efek flicker akan sangat terasa. Aspect ratio biasanya hanya terbatasi pada ukuran 4:

LCD

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor komputer menyimpan banyak ruang dan bahkan dapat dipasang di dinding. Mereka memberikan sudut pandang lebar dan biasanya datang dalam ukuran mulai dari 17-inci sampai 60-inci.

Kelebihan : kelebihan utama LCD adalah pada ukuran dimensi ( compact ) dan berat yang sangat rendah, konsumsi daya yang sangat rendah, hampir tidak ada efek flicker ( tergantung pada tipe backlight yang digunakan ), dapat diproduksi hampir untuk semua ukuran, dan secara teori tidak ada batasan resolusi maksimal.
Kekurangan : LCD memiliki sudut pandang yang sangat terbatasi. Hal ini juga menyangkut sisi reproduksi warna , saturasi, dan brightness yang berubah-ubah meski pada sudut pandang yang paling optimal. Response time-nya rendah hingga menimbulkan ghosting artiffact, memiliki satu native resolution meski resolusi lain dimungkinkan dengan menggunakan video scaller. Dead pixel bisa terjadi entah ketika produksi di pabrik maupun ketika pemakaian oleh user.

Plasma

Plasma monitor yang kurang umum digunakan dengan komputer karena suhu tinggi operasi mereka, konsumsi daya tinggi, dan resolusi tetap.

Kelebihan : display plasma hampir menyerupai kemampuan monitor CRT, dengan contrast ratio tinggi ( 10.000 : 1 ). Reproduksi warna sangat baik dan level black rendah. Hampir tidak ada response time dan sudut pandang ( viewing angle ) sangat baik.
Kekurangan : memiliki ukuran pixel pitch yang besar, yang artinya memiliki resolusi rendah atau meski resolusi tinggi, ukuran monitor haruslah besar. Tipe plasma juga memiliki bobot yang sangat besar. Konsumsi daya dan operasional suhu yang tinggi. Cell plasma untuk perwakilan tiap pixel gambar hanya memiliki fungsi on/off sehingga reproduksi warna jauh lebih terbatasi lagi dibandingkan tipe CRT ataupun LCD.
