Experience of Electronic Medical Records Adoption in Primary Health Care in Indonesia

Along with the development of information technology, health care facilities in Indonesia have begun to adopt the use of electronic medical records (EMR). This adoption process needs to be documented as a best practice model for health care facilities in the transition process from paper-based medical records to electronic ones. This paper discusses specifically the adoption process of EMR in primary health care facilities. Focus group discussion, interviews, and documentation studies were carried out in one community health center and one general practitioner clinic in a Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which is in the process of transitioning medical record management from paper-based to electronic-based. The transition process begins with the appointment of a key people leader, socialization related to EMR, comparative studies to other health facilities that have implemented EMR, determining the projected impact of EMR implementation, conducting needs analysis and design, starting the implementation of EMR, and conducting periodic evaluations. The transition process went through well by the two primary health care facilities which were the subjects of this study. There are several obstacles from the human resources and the technical side but they can be overcome in line with periodic evaluation and improvement.
Spatio-Temporal Variation of the Abundance of Pearl Oyster (Pinctada mazatlanica) Spat and Its Relevance in the Location of Suitable Sites for Extensive Pearl Oyster Culture

ABSTRACT In general, pearl cultivation has advanced with organisms produced and improved in hatchery; however, wild spat collection is still the primary source for commercial cultivation. In Mexico, progress toward pearl oyster hatchery spat production is yet in the experimental stage. The only three farms established in the country (Guaymas, La Paz, and Cozumel Island) rely on extensive culture. Constant spat supply is imperative to ensure a successful operation; at La Paz Bay, however, larval uptake of the pearl oyster Pinctada mazatlanica in artificial collectors has always been low. This study aimed to assess spatio-temporal and bathymetric patterns of spat distribution across the area to locate suitable sites to install spat collecting stations. Our results showed significant differences (P < 0.05) between stations. Mogote, Caimancito, Punta Colorada, and Gaviota Island were the stations with the highest spat abundance at 1-m depth in July–September after 40 and 60 days of immersion. The data were also analyzed with generalized linear models. The best models, selected with the Akaike and Bayesian criteria, suggest that 1-m depth, 40- and 60-day immersion time, and site (particularly, Caimancito Beach, Punta Colorada, and Gaviota Island) contributed significantly to explaining the highest catches (mean: 5–8 organisms/collector) of P. mazatlanica spat in La Paz Bay. Therefore, the area within these sites should be considered suitable for installing the network of artificial collectors during the season of high spat abundance.
Spatial Expression Patterning of Kelch-Like Protein Homolog 10 (klhl10), Armadillo Repeat-Containing Protein 4 Isoform X2 (armc4), and a Gamete-Specific Mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase (mt-co1) during Spermatogenesis/Spermiogenesis in the Mantle of Male Blue Mussel (Mytilus edulis)

ABSTRACT The spatial expression patterns of three genes [kelch-like protein homolog 10 (klhl10); armadillo repeat-containing protein 4 isoform X2 (armc4); mitochondria cytochrome oxidase I (mt-co1)] known to be important mechanistic components of spermatogenesis/spermiogenesis were localized in mantle tissue sections of male Mytilus edulis using nonisotopic in situ hybridization and RNA probes based on sequences derived from available mantle RNA sequencing libraries. The expression patterns showed that all three genes are primarily localized in a layer of cells adjacent to the outer wall of the testicular acini. This layer is known to contain developing stages of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids. Kelch-like protein homolog 10 was expressed in immature spermatogonial cells/spermatocytes characterized by large round central nuclei and situated near the periphery of the testicular acini with little to no expression in adjacent populations of spermatids or mature spermatozoa at the center of the acini. Like klhl10, armc4 transcripts were also detected in the cells near the inner periphery of the outer acinar wall. In contrast, however, the armc4 expressing cells appeared to be spatially shifted more toward the inner edge of the cell layer and toward the center of the acini. The localization of cells expressing armc4 transcripts near the inner edge of the developing sperm layer in the testicular acini of M. edulis supports a role for armc4 in spermatid morphogenesis and maturation. Mitochondria-specific cytochrome c oxidase transcripts were localized in cells throughout the inner periphery of the testicular acini wall but not in association with mature spermatozoa in the center of the acini reflecting the significant level of cellular activity that occurs during early sperm development. This supports an important mitochondrial role in early and mid-spermatogenesis in M. edulis potentially related to sperm quality control. This work provides a first view into the molecular mechanisms behind spermatogenesis/spermiogenesis in M. edulis.
Effect of Diet and Body Size on Fecal Pellet Morphology in the Sea Urchin Lytechinus variegatus

ABSTRACT Sea urchins are important inhabitants of many marine ecosystems. They are also an economic resource for many international fisheries and are an important animal model in developmental biology. Sea urchins ingest a variety of plant and animal matter, form a digesta pellet, and produce an egesta (fecal) pellet that contributes to benthic food webs. The size and morphology of fecal pellets produced by various size classes of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus fed a variety of natural, vegetable-based, or formulated diets were characterized in terms of two-dimensional area, length (long diameter), width (short diameter), and circularity, as well as by ultrastructure analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sea urchins fed natural and vegetable-based ingredients produced a wide variety of irregularly shaped egesta that were loosely surrounded by mucus, whereas urchins fed a formulated diet produced highly circular egesta surrounded by a uniform multilayered mucus coat. Larger urchins (62 ± 3.1 g wet weight) consuming a formulated diet produced egesta that were larger in size than smaller adult (26.5 ± 2.7 g) or juvenile urchins (3.6 ± 0.4 g), with egesta length of 0.93 ± 0.06, 0.75 ± 0.05, and 0.61 ± 0.01 mm, respectively (mean ± 95% confidence interval [CI]; P < 0.001). Ultrastructural analysis of the egesta using TEM image analysis software from urchins consuming formulated diets indicated that pellets contained extensive bacterial communities, ranging from 31% to 69% of the total cross-sectional area of the pellet, with dense communities located near the surface of the pellet (9.51 × 108 cells/cm2). Qualitative examination of the egesta TEM suggested the presence of a diverse bacterial community. Following egestion, these microbial communities are suggested to have an important role in natural food webs, with potential value for integrated multitrophic aquaculture systems.
Comparative analysis of international prognostic indices in gray-zone lymphoma

Abstract Gray-zone lymphoma (GZL) reflects an aggressive B-cell neoplasm with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). The International Prognostic Index (IPI) and its derivatives (R-IPI, NCCN-IPI, and the Hasenclever IPS) have been established for DLBCL or cHL while the most suitable scoring system for GZL remains undetermined. In an exploratory multi-centric cohort of GZL (n = 61), we performed a comparative analysis of prognostic indices with regard to model fit and mutual concordance. The calculation of the corrected Akaike’s information criterion (cAIC) and Harrel’s concordance index (c-index) for each scoring system identified the NCCN-IPI to harbor the most convincing prognostic capabilities regarding both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to its enhanced derivatives. The current results affirm the clinical utility of the NCCN-IPI and suggest its preferential use in clinical practice in GZL-patients.
Sharing the Science of Agricultural Practice: Information Transfer via the Annual Reports of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1862–1868

ABSTRACT The information work at the U.S. Department of Agriculture not only altered the kind and amount of information farmers had access to, but effectively sought to redefine who the experts were: through the production and dissemination of research conducted by scientists at the Department, or work by others filtered through the institution. One vehicle for this information transfer was the annual report. This study identifies and examines the information work of the agency from 1862–1868 and situates it within the context of the emergence of the modern state and the history of information. It is conceded on all hands that the farming interest is the basis of all other interests and the primary source of national prosperity. The outlines of the rise and decay of the Roman empire could have been written in the fields which environed the capitol as well as in her libraries amid historical records.

A Deep OCR for Degraded Bangla Documents

Despite the significant success of document image analysis techniques, efficient Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of degraded document images still remains an open problem. Although a body of work has been reported on degraded document recognition for English language, only little attention has been paid to Indic scripts. In this work, we focus on developing a degraded OCR for Bangla, a major Indian language. In general, an OCR system includes segmentation of the foreground text part from the background followed by recognition of the extracted text. The text segmentation module aims to assign the foreground or background label to each pixel of the document image. In this paper, we present a new OCR system which is particularly suitable for degraded quality Bangla document images. The contribution is two fold. In the first phase, we use a semi-supervised Markov Random Field (MRF)-based Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model (which we call MRF-GAN) for foreground segmentation of texts from degraded text. In the proposed MRF-GAN, we extend the concept of GAN to a multitask learning mechanism where discriminator-classifier networks differentiate between real/fake images and also assign a foreground or background label to each pixel. In the second phase, we propose to use a new encoder-decoder based recognizer that incorporates an attention-based character to a word prediction model, which has the capability of minimizing Word Error Rate (WER). We optimize this network using a Multitask based Transfer Learning scheme (MTTL). We perform experiments on a publicly available degraded Bangla document image dataset as well as on a new degraded printed Hindi document image dataset, which has been created as a part of the present study. Results of the experimentations demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed OCR.
A Cost-Effective Built-In Self-Test Mechanism for Post-Manufacturing TSV Defects in 3D ICs

Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuit (3D IC) based on Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) has brought a drastic change in IC technology. Since TSVs connect different layers of 3D stacks, their proper functioning is an essential prerequisite for system operation. Therefore, testing of TSV is essential for 3D IC. In this article, we propose a cost-effective Built-In Self-Test (BIST) method to test the TSVs of a 3D IC. The test method aims at identifying single and multiple defective TSVs using low test time with small hardware overhead. Further, we introduce a BIST partitioning scheme to reduce the test time and hardware overhead for many TSVs. We also present EBIST, an extended-BIST, to enhance BIST reliability with the least hardware cost. The time cycle needed for testing is calculated and compared with previously proposed methods. The simulation result shows that the proposed BIST reduces the test time by 87% compared to prior works. Moreover, the approach yields reduced area as compared to existing test architecture.
Towards a Four-Dimensional Dynamic Trust Model in B2C Cross-Border E-Commerce

This paper discusses the specific influencing factors of consumer trust in B2C cross-border e-commerce. It puts forward a comprehensive trust model to provide full-cycle support for the generation and management of the trust. Based on the comprehensive technology acceptance theory (UTAUT), the model adds perceived risk variables. The model comprehensively summarizes the influencing factors of consumer trust from four aspects: public opinion, consumers, enterprises and third-party institutions. The model has good adaptability and can support cross-border e-commerce enterprises to establish and manage consumer trust in different regions and different trust relationship stages.
A Survey on Wireless Device-free Human Sensing: Application Scenarios, Current Solutions, and Open Issues

In the last decade, many studies have significantly pushed the limits of wireless device-free human sensing (WDHS) technology and facilitated various applications, ranging from activity identification to vital sign monitoring. This survey presents a novel taxonomy that classifies the state-of-the-art WDHS systems into 11 categories according to their sensing task type and motion granularity. In particular, existing WDHS systems involve three primary sensing task types. The first type, behavior recognition, is a classification problem of recognizing predefined meaningful behaviors. The second type is movement tracking, monitoring the quantitative values of behavior states integrating with spatiotemporal information. The third type, user identification, leverages the unique features in behaviors to identify who performs the movements. The selected papers in each sensing task type can be further divided into sub-categories according to their motion granularity. Recent advances reveal that WDHS systems within a particular granularity follow similar challenges and design principles. For example, fine-grained hand recognition systems target extracting subtle motion-induced signal changes from the noisy signal responses, and their sensing areas are limited to a relatively small range. Coarse-grained activity identification systems need to overcome the interference of other moving objects within the room-level sensing range. A novel research framework is proposed to help to summarize WDHS systems from methodology, evaluation performance, and design goals. Finally, we conclude with several open issues and present the future research directions from the perspectives of data collection, sensing methodology, performance evaluation, and application scenario.
Preference-wise Testing of Android Apps via Test Amplification

Preferences, the setting options provided by Android, are an essential part of Android apps. Preferences allow users to change app features and behaviors dynamically, and therefore their impacts need to be considered when testing the apps. Unfortunately, few test cases explicitly specify the assignments of valid values to the preferences, or configurations, under which they should be executed, and few existing mobile testing tools take the impact of preferences into account or provide help to testers in identifying and setting up the configurations for running the tests. This article presents the Prefest approach to effective testing of Android apps with preferences. Given an Android app and a set of test cases for the app, Prefest amplifies the test cases with a small number of configurations to exercise more behaviors and detect more bugs that are related to preferences. In an experimental evaluation conducted on real-world Android apps, amplified test cases produced by Prefest from automatically generated test cases covered significantly more code of the apps and detected seven real bugs, and the tool’s test amplification time was at the same order of magnitude as the running time of the input test cases. Prefest’s effectiveness and efficiency in amplifying programmer-written test cases was comparable with that in amplifying automatically generated test cases.
Perspectives About Appointment Practices and School Leadership Roles: Basis for Succession Planning and Development

The world is in the midst of a COVID-19 education crisis, and schools need to urgently overcome this and emerge stronger. It is in times of crisis that good leaders emerge. As such, De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ) is in the process of revisiting its leadership practices regarding the selection of administrators. The major purpose of this study was to gather the perspectives of the employees about leadership appointments, taking on administration roles, and succession planning and development. This collaborative action research employed a descriptive mixed method approach. Employees (N=174) from different departments and offices were the research participants. Quantitative data were extracted from the online survey questionnaire. The qualitative data, subjected to thematic analysis, were gathered from document review, open-ended questions from the survey, and future creating workshops. The guidelines, criteria for selection and screening process are described in its Administrators Manual. While findings revealed that the majority of the respondents are knowledgeable about and in favor of the DLSZ's appointment practices, less than half of them expressed willingness to be administrators. Those who favorably considered assuming school leadership roles had similar opinions about acquiring graduate degrees and corresponding certifications. Results showed that almost all of the employees regarded that succession planning initiatives can bring forth a positive impact in honing future leaders. Based on this study, DLSZ may prioritize implementing a succession planning and development program which will facilitate the effective identification, selection, and development of its leaders.
LA-MQTT: Location-aware Publish-subscribe Communications for the Internet of Things

Nowadays, several Internet of Things (IoT) deployments use publish-subscribe paradigms to disseminate IoT data to a pool of interested consumers. At the moment, the most widespread standard for such scenarios is MQTT. We also register an increasing interest in IoT-enabled Location-Based Services, where data must be disseminated over a target area and its spatial relevance and the current positions of the consumers must be taken into account. Unfortunately, the MQTT protocol does not support location awareness, and hence it may result in notifying consumers that are geographically far from the data source, causing increased network overhead and poor Quality of Service (QoS). We address the issue by proposing LA-MQTT, an extension to standard MQTT supporting spatial-aware publish-subscribe communications on IoT scenarios. LA-MQTT is broker-agnostic and fully backward compatible with standard MQTT. As monitoring the position of subscribers over time may cause privacy concerns, LA-MQTT carefully supports location privacy preservation, for which the optimal tradeoff with the QoS of the spatial notifications is addressed via a learning-based algorithm. We demonstrate the effectiveness of LA-MQTT by experimentally evaluating its features via large-scale hybrid simulations, including real and virtual components. Finally, we provide a Proof of Concept real implementation of an LA-MQTT scenario.
Cluster-Head Decision Algorithm to Expert Identity-Centered Blend Signature Design for Wireless Sensor Networks

Combining the highlights of combination signature scheme and identification-headquartered cryptography, we supply an identity-based mixture signature (IBAS) scheme for WSNs in cluster-established method. The adversary in our safety mannequin has the capability to launch any coalition attacks. If an adversary can use some single signatures together with invalid ones to generate a legitimate aggregate signature, we are saying that the assault is effective. Actually, our id-founded combination signature scheme now not handiest can preserve data integrity, but additionally can diminish bandwidth and storage cost for WSNs This paper offers a novel cluster-head decision method to extend community lifetime and reliability by way of taking trouble-mindful standards into consideration. This technique allows deciding on probably the most proper sensor node to end up cluster head. Simulation results show giant outcome with the aid of lowering 93% the number of lost packets within the community, for that reason bettering the community throughput as much as 53%. Moreover, our solution extends the network lifetime to eleven%.
A single-subject case study of twice exceptionality

Twice exceptional (2e) individuals are defined as exceptionally talented persons in one or more areas including academic skills, creativity, leadership, and visual arts accompanied by challenges in one or more areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics. This study aimed to present the views on the academic and social-emotional development of a gifted student with learning disabilities. This research was conducted as a case study by using qualitative research methods. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with the mother, elementary school teacher, special education teacher, and the 2e student himself. The study concluded that the participants emphasized the adaptations that were made in schools for 2e students and the need for support from parents, peers, and teachers for 2e students as well as the necessity for cooperation between school and family.
