Mara, plow the planes – poetry, magic, ritual
Authors: Karanović Zoja
Published: June 2018

Lyric folk poetry, which is based on archaic worldviews, often bases its origins on ritual and magic. Among the lyrics which “copy” and “comment on” the beliefs in certain properties of plants, one poem recorded by Vuk Karadžić has special significance. The poem tells of how a man, knowing about the special properties of flora and being versed in magic as a way of acquiring love in general, tries to cure his beloved from heartache and then lead her to fall in love with him, and ultimately, come and kiss him. A variant of this poem was also recorded and published by S.N. Davidović, and after him Luka Grđić-Bjelokosić, who classified it as a wedding song. The four variants of the poem in question which are the subject of the analysis are an example of transposition of magic into poetry. And while the surface layers contain verbal traces of magic, the traces of magical actions are present throughout the poem, as the analyses show.
Observation of “Traditional” Agriculture in Kastamonu, Turkey In Relation to the Evidence of Crop Husbandry at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Central Anatolia
Authors: Filipović Dragana
Published: June 2018

In order to better understand how plants were procured and consumed at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, the site’s archaeobotany team examined some of the existing ethnographic examples of “traditional” (non-mechanised) farming in Turkey. The Kastamonu region of the north Turkey is an area where some ’ancient’ wheats (einkorn and emmer) are cultivated in a more or less traditional way and on a small-scale. Fieldwork in this part of Turkey provided first-hand knowledge of some off- and on-site agricultural activities which could have been part of prehistoric village life, but also of ways in which modern technologies challenge non-mechanised farming*. Of particular interest were a) information gathered from field-owners on traditional techniques used to grow crops, b) observation of storage facilities and other ways of storing food in einkorn/emmer-growing villages, and c) observations of mills and other buildings/constructions/items relating to crop processing and food preparation (e.g. oil production); the paper presents obtained information relevant to these three key objectives.

 

* The work would not have been possible without the professional guidance and tremendous help from Dr Füsun Ertuğ of Istanbul University and her colleagues and friends in Kastamonu, as well as municipal authorities of Kastamonu, Ihsangazi and Küre; their help and hospitality is greatly appreciated. The team is grateful to all the interviewed families for their patience and understanding, and the interest in our study.
The (Hyper) Production of Miracles and Miraculous Acts: The Meaning of Folk and Church Interpretations of these Phenomena and their Importance for the Process of Desecularization in Serbia
Authors: Radulović Lidija
Published: June 2018

Over the last 20 years, miracles and miraculous acts have been an important part of the multi-layered process of desecularization in Serbia. The Serbian Orthodox Church is trying to revitalize orthodoxy as interpreted by the church and draw in as many believers as possible. At the same time, the folk orthodox variant of Christianity is being revitalized among the faithful, mostly through populist interpretations with elements of folk religion. This paper analyzes the public production of miracles in Serbia based mostly on material drawn from the media, but also on personal testimonies of informants who have witnessed such events.
The Power of Narrative: The Impact of Stories about Healing through Unconventional Medicine
Authors: Trifunović Vesna
Published: June 2018

The paper considers the importance and impact of narratives about healing through unconventional medicine, from the viewpoint of the anthropology of folklore. Thus, the paper deals with the ways in which such stories function and ways in which they are classified as a genre, as well as the effect that they have on their audience and the social conditions which enable their transmission. These stories are of importance in considering the social issue of the treatment of illness, because they tell of the possibility of being cured even in cases of lethal disease. Their importance for the recipients is directly linked to this, because these narratives encourage the belief in unconventional healing methods and give hope in facing disease. Special attention has been given to the factors which lead the recipients to believe these narratives.
Statehood Day or Candlemas Day – Ideology vs. Chronology
Authors: Milošević Srđan
Published: June 2018

The paper deals with the ideological and chronological issues concerning Statehood day, which is celebrated on the 15th and 16th of February in Serbia. The focus will be on the connection which is being established between the state holiday of Statehood day and Candlemas Day which is a church holiday. The paper will further deal with the problems with dating the two key events – the start of the First Serbian Uprising in 1804 and the adoption of the first Serbian Constitution in 1835 – which, according to the Serbian law on national and other holidays, form the basis for the celebrating of Statehood day. The paper will prove that it wasn’t necessary for the legislators to insist on establishing a connection between the aforementioned events and the date of the church holiday neither in the 19th nor in the 21st century. The author will also point out the significant errors in chronology: it is falsely claimed that the anniversaries of both these events coincide with Candlemas Day (in 1804 and 1835, respectively), and that it is hence unwarranted to claim that they coincide with Candlemas  Day in the 21st century. It will be shown that the reason for these errors lies in the incorrect calculation and translation of dates from the Julian into the Gregorian calendar, as w

Cet article traite les problèmes idéologiques et chronologiques en relation avec le Jour de la souveraineté de la Serbie, fêté le 15 et le 16 février. La question du rattachement du Jour de la souveraineté à la fête religieuse de la Présentation du Christ a été problématisée, ensuite la question concernant la datation de deux événements qui, d’après la Loi sur les fêtes nationales dans la République de Serbie, sont à l’origine de la célébration du Jour de la souveraineté de la Serbie (début de la Première insurrection serbe de 1804 et l’adoption de la première Constitution serbe en 1835). Dans l’article, l’auteur démontre que le législateur a inutilement insisté sur le rattachement des événements évoqués à la date de la fête religieuse de la Présentation au XIXe puis au XXIe siècle. L’auteur rend compte des erreurs importantes concernant la chronologie : l’on soutient à tort que les deux événements ont eu lieu le jour de la Présentation en 1804  puis en 1835 ; par conséquent, les anniversaires des deux événements sont indûment associés à la Présentation au XXIe siècle. Dans l’article est expliqué que la raison de ces erreurs tient à la transposition erronée des dates du calendrier julien en calendrier grégorien, et l’auteur soutient la thèse que l’insistance actuelle sur l’association du Jour de la souveraineté à la Présentation est idéologiquement conditionnée, qu’elle est une conséquence  de la désécularisation de la société en Serbie.

A Comparison of Traditional and Kernel Equating Methods
Authors: AKIN ARIKAN Çiğdem , GELBAL Selahattin
Published: June 2018

In
this study, the equated score results of the kernel equating (KE) method
compared with the results of traditional equating methods—equipercentile and
linear equating and 9th grade 2009 ÖBBS Form B of Social Sciences and 2009 ÖBBS
Form D of Social Sciences was used under an equivalent groups (EG) design.
Study sample consists of 16.249 students taking booklets B and another 16.327
students taking D in that test. The analysis of the test forms was carried out
in four steps. First, descriptive statistics were calculated for the data and
then it was checked whether the data obtained from the two booklets satisfy the
equating conditions. In the second step, the booklets were equated according to
methods. Lastly, the errors for each equating methods were calculated. Kernel
equating results were nearly same to the results from the corresponding
traditional equating methods. In Kernel equating, when parameter h was selected
as optimal, equated scores provided almost identical results as traditional
equipercentile equating. When it was selected large, this time the equated
scores provided results almost identical to traditional linear equating. It is
concluded that Kernel equating methods are relatively more the most appropriate
equating method method than traditional equating methods.
Epitaxial Lattice Matching and the Growth Techniques of Compound Semiconductors for their Potential Photovoltaic Applications
Authors: Husain Shagufta Bano , Hasan Maruph
Published: June 2018

This paper presents the recent advances in semiconductor alloys for photovoltaic applications. The two main growth techniques involved in these compounds are metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), that has also been discussed. With these techniques, hetero-structures can be grown with a high efficiency. A combination of more than one semiconductor like GaAs, InGaAs and CuInGaAs increases the range of their electrical and optical properties. A large range of direct band gap, high optical absorption and emission coefficients make these materials optimally suitable for converting the light to electrical energy. Their electronic structures reveal that they are highly suitable for photovoltaic applications also because they exhibit spin orbit resonance and metal/semiconductor transitions. The dissociation energy has also been discussed in reference to the increased stability of these compounds.
Value-centered entrepreneur role model design
Authors: Maltsev Eduard
Published: June 2018

The article is devoted to developing a change model for entrepreneurial roles that allows to create a conceptual design for the roles of an entrepreneur at different stages of business development. The article highlights four key stages in the business development life cycle. At each step, business focuses on a certain type of client and the value created for that client. The business focus requires an entrepreneur to concentrate on performance of a certain role. An analysis of the literature about role modelling is provided. The article considers entrepreneurs’ roles at different stages of business development. There are several methodological approaches applied in the article. The systems approach and systems thinking allow to describe a business as a whole. Conceptual modelling allows to deal with complexity of a real business. Design approach allows to implement conceptual models in practice of the real business. The article proposes a change model for entrepreneurial roles and the related roles composition at the different stages of business development life cycle. This article uses the conceptual model as an analytical tool to develop a change model for entrepreneurial roles. The further development of the research relates to research of sub-roles composition for different entrepreneurial roles and abilities, necessary to perform the sub-roles efficiently.

Published: June 2018

This study aimed to determine the presence and prevalence of viral and parasitic infections causing high rates of colony loss in honey bee colonies in Van province, eastern Turkey. Twenty-six different apiaries were collected from five counties in Van province. These samples were tested by Reverse-Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) for acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV), black queen cell virus (BQCV) and deformed wing virus (DWV). Selected positives were sequenced, phylogenetically analyzed and investigated in terms of Varroa. DWV and BQCV were identified in 69.23% (18/26) and 88.46% (23/26) of the bees respectively whereas ABPV and CBPV were not detected in the sampled apiaries. Results of the phylogenetic analysis of DWV and BQCV sequences showed 94–100% similarity to DWV and BQCV isolates obtained from Genbank. Prevalence of varroasis was 89% (23/26) in Van. The obtained samples were identified as V. Varroa destructor by morphological investigation. The study showed that viral and parasitic agents commonly infect honeybees in Van province, with high prevalence rates for BQCV and DWV. There was also a high degree of conservation of DWV and BQCV sequences distinct from DWV and BQCV isolates from other geographical regions. These findings, including current prevalence and phylogenetic analysis data for DWV, BQCV and varroazis in honeybees, are useful for future studies. .

Myonecrosis after intramuscular injections is not common, but may be life-threatening. This case report describes myonecrosis following an accidental intramuscular injection of menbutone. A three-year-old bay French Trotter stallion with a history of weak appetite and colic lasting ten days was treated by a field veterinarian. During the course of treatment, he was given paraffin oil and antihelminthics orally, antispasmodics, analgesics, steroids and antibiotics intravenously, as well as choleretics intramuscularly. The horse was apathetic and weak with a “tucked up” abdomen and had grade 2 ataxia, according to Mayhew’s grading system. The patient had a swollen neck on both sides and a swelling of the right front limb and the carpal area of the left front limb. The neck edema was painful and warm. The neck area was prepared and punctured; a malodorous fluid was obtained for cytology. In the material obtained, there were anaerobic rod bacteria diagnosed as Clostridium spp. Surgical fenestration and debridement were performed. The wounds were cleaned every day. The horse was given antibiotics, nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs, fluids and gastroprotectives. After five weeks of intensive care, the condition of the horse stabilized, and significant improvement was observed. Myonecrosis may be a rare life-threatening complication following intramuscular injections or wound contamination. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first published report of myonecrosis after menbutone injections in the horse..

Contagious ecthyma (CE) is a highly contagious viral skin disease that is typically self-limited. Treatment options include topical antiseptics, such as KMNO4, local antibiotics and systemic antibiotics to prevent secondary skin infections. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the lincomycin/spectinomycin combination and dexpanthenol (Dxp) in goat kids with CE. The study was conducted at a Saanen dairy goat farm in Bursa, Turkey. The owner of the goat herd inquired at the veterinary hospital about the appearance of granulomatous lesions on the muzzles of goat kids. In this study, 24 goat kids (1-month-olds) were used. All animals were subjected to the same conditions. Blood and papule samples were taken from the animals’ lips, muzzle and buccal for virological analysis. Swab samples were taken from the lesions for culture and antibiogram. The animals were divided into three groups. Lesions were clinically scored at days 1, 7 and 15 according to a modified previously used scoring system. Goat kids were equally grouped on the basis of lesions on the buccal, lips and muzzle. The animals in group A received 15 mg/kg lincomycin/spectinomycin combination (Lypectin®, Vilsan) intramuscularly for 3 consecutive days, group B received 20 mg/kg Dxp (Bepanthen® amp, Bayer, Germany) intramuscularly for 3 consecutive days, and group C received 0.9% NaCl (2 ml), the control treatment. Clinical recoveries were almost equal in all groups, but by day 14, group A showed better recovery than group B and group C. Both study groups also showed better results than the control group for all days. In conclusion, we believe that the lincomycin/spectinomycin combination or dexpanthenol can be useful in the supplementary treatment of CE in goat kids..
Nutrient dynamics, soil properties and microbiological aspects in an irrigated olive orchard managed with five different management systems involving soil tillage, cover crops and compost

Published: June 2018

The aim of the present study was to determine the short-term effects (three years) of four sustainable management systems including different carbon inputs (compost, pruning residues and cover crops, applied solely or combined) on the mineral content of soil, olive trees and weeds, on some specific groups of soil microorganisms, and on weed mycorrhizal colonization in an olive orchard compared to a conventional system involving soil tillage and only mineral forms of fertilizers. The study was performed between 2013 and 2015 in a 40-year-old olive plantation. The results showed that soil organic matter, as well as main macro- and micronutrients, were markedly improved following three years of increased biomass inputs. Data related to the mycorrhizal colonization of spontaneous weed flora and to actinobacteria, Azotobacter and proteolytic bacteria suggest favourable effects on soil biology and agro-ecosystem complexity. Sowing a mixture of winter cover crops for three successive years also contributed to soil enrichment in biological as well as mineral nutrient aspects. Adoption of the sustainable management here applied practices is in complete agreement with the European policy on the transition from a linear to a circular economy and would provide significant benefits for rural stakeholders and ecosystems in the long term.

Authors: Abdolmohammadi Shahrzad , Nasrabadi Seyed Reza Rasouli , Seif Ahmad , Fard Narges Elmi
Published: June 2018

Aim and Objective:

Chromene derivatives are privileged heterocyclic systems that exhibit
various types of biological properties such as antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, hypotensive, and
local anesthetic. Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst is
used in various organic transformations because of its certain unique and unusual physico-chemical
properties. The effectiveness of catalytic activity of CdS NPs can be improved due to the combined
effect of Ag particles.

Results:

Ag/CdS nanocomposite is a readily available, recyclable, and non-toxic catalyst used for the
highly efficient synthesis of novel 8-aryl-8H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]chromrne-6-carboxylic acids. This
reaction is conveniently performed under mild reaction conditions. All synthesized compounds were
well characterized by their satisfactory elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The
synthesized catalyst was fully characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDX techniques.

Materials and Methods:

The present methodology focuses on the condensation reaction of
arylmethylidenepyruvic acids with 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol, using a catalytic amount of Ag/CdS
nanocomposite (15 mol%) in aqueous media at room temperature to afford 8-aryl-8H-[1,3]dioxolo
[4,5-g]chromrne-6-carboxylic acids in high yields (90-97%) within short reaction times (2-4 h). The
Ag/CdS nanocomposite was also prepared by an ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel method.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we have successfully synthesized novel 8-aryl-8H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-
g]chromrne-6-carboxylic acid derivatives by the Ag/CdS nanocomposite catalyzed cyclocondensation
reaction of arylmethylidenepyruvic acids with 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol under mild reaction
conditions. Environmentally benign procedure, high to excellent yields of products, simplicity of
operation, and use of readily available and recyclable catalyst are the advantages of this new
practical reaction.

Authors: Massoud Mohammed A.M. , El-Sayed Magda A. , Bayoumi Waleed A. , Mansour Basem
Published: June 2018

Background: Quinoline scaffold acts as “privileged structure” for anticancer drug design. Certain derivatives showed good results through different mechanisms as topoisomerase 1 and kinase inhibition.  Methods: A new series of 2-chloro-3-(2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromene, 4H-pyranyl and fused 1- cyclohexen-4-yl)quinoline structures (3-5, 6 and 7) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity. All compounds were tested by MTT assay against a panel of four different human tumor cell lines. The inhibitory activity of selected compounds was assessed on topoisomerase 1 and epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase via ELISA. In addition, compounds 7b and 3a were docked into the X-ray crystal structure of Topo 1 and EGFR enzymes, respectively to explain the molecular basis of the potent activity.  Results: Compounds 3a, 3b and 7b showed characteristic efficacy profile. 7b showed the best cytotoxic activity on all types of tested cell lines with IC50 range (15.8±1.30 to 28.2±3.37 µM), relative to 5-fluoruracil of IC50 range (40.7±2.46 to 63.8±2.69 µM). Via ELISA, 7b and 3a showed characteristic inhibition profile on Topo 1 and EGFR-TK respectively. In addition, 7b has scored binding energy (101.61 kcal/mol) and six hydrogen bonds with amino acids conserved residues in the enzyme pocket.  Conclusion: Analysis of results revealed that compounds 7a and 7b mainly were Topo 1 inhibitors while 3a was mainly EGFR inhibitor. This property may be exploited to design future quinoline derivatives as antitumor agents with enhanced selectivity towards either of the two molecular targets.
Barriers of Mucosal Entry of HIV/SIV
Authors: Carias Ann M. , Hope Thomas J.
Published: June 2018

Most new HIV infections, over 80%, occur through sexual transmission. During sexual transmission, the virus must bypass specific female and male reproductive tract anatomical barriers to encounter viable target cells. Understanding the generally efficient ability of these barriers to exclude HIV and the precise mechanisms of HIV translocation beyond these genital barriers is essential for vaccine and novel therapeutic development. In this review, we explore the mucosal, barriers of cervico-vaginal and penile tissues that comprise the female and male reproductive tracts. The unique cellular assemblies of the squamous and columnar epithelium are illustrated highlighting their structure and function. Each anatomical tissue offers a unique barrier to virus entry in healthy individuals. Unfortunately barrier dysfunction can lead to HIV transmission. How these diverse mucosal barriers have the potential to fail is considered, highlighting those anatomical areas that are postulated to offer a weaker barrier and are; therefore, more susceptible to viral ingress. Risk factors, such as sexually transmitted infections, microbiome dysbiosis, and high progestin environments are also associated with increased acquisition of HIV. How these states may affect the integrity of mucosal barriers leading to HIV acquisition are discussed suggesting mechanisms of transmission and revealing potential targets for intervention.
Role of Sex Hormones in Regulating Innate Immune Protection against HIV in the Human Female Reproductive Tract
Authors: Patel Mickey V. , Rodríguez-García Marta , Wira Charles R.
Published: June 2018

Immune protection in the female reproductive tract (FRT) has evolved to meet the challenges of sexually transmitted bacterial and viral pathogens, allogeneic spermatozoa, and an immunologically distinct semi-allogeneic fetus. Throughout the FRT, the innate immune system is essential for the recognition and initial response to incoming pathogens. Key mediators of innate immune protection examined in this review include epithelial cells, stromal fibroblasts, macrophages, DC, and neutrophils from the Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina. These innate immune cells respond to pathogens resulting in the secretion of cytokines, chemokines, antimicrobials, and production of intracellular proteins that protect, activate and recruit both innate and adaptive immune cells. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can occur throughout the FRT, including the ovary, and is modulated by multiple factors including age of the individual, epithelial barrier integrity, composition of the vaginal microbiome, and hormonal status. Alterations in immune function due to hormonal changes that optimize conditions for successful fertilization create a hypothesized “window of vulnerability” that lasts from ovulation into the secretory stage of the menstrual cycle. The goal of this review is to summarize the multiple levels of protection against HIV infection in the FRT and thereby providing a foundation for the design of vaccines for protection against sexually-transmitted infections (STI) including HIV.
HIV and SIV in Body Fluids: From Breast Milk to the Genitourinary Tract
Authors: Kordy Kattayoun , Tobin Nicole H. , Aldrovandi Grace M.
Published: June 2018

HIV-1 is present in many secretions including oral, intestinal, genital, and breast milk. However, most people exposed to HIV-1 within these mucosal compartments do not become infected despite often frequent and repetitive exposure over prolonged periods of time. In this review, we discuss what is known about the levels of cell-free HIV RNA, cell-associated HIV DNA and cellassociated HIV RNA in external secretions. Levels of virus are usually lower than contemporaneously obtained blood, increased in settings of inflammation and infection, and decreased in response to antiretroviral therapy. Additionally, each mucosal compartment has unique innate and adaptive immune responses that affect the composition and presence of HIV-1 within each external secretion. We discuss the current state of knowledge about the types and amounts of virus present in the various excretions, touch on innate and adaptive immune responses as they affect viral levels, and highlight important areas for further study.
Practical Implementation and Testing of RNN Based Synchronous Generator Internal-Fault Protection
Authors: Saeed Mohammed Ahmed , El-Saadawi Magdi
Published: June 2018

Background:

Differential relay is normally used to detect faults in Synchronous Generator
(SG) stator windings. Nevertheless, detection of ground fault depends on the generator grounding type.
For high impedance grounding, the ground faults near the neutral terminal of the stator windings are not
detectable by the differential relay. So, the ability to identify the internal fault of SG is a very important
task for stable and safe operation of power systems.

Methods:

Accurate algorithms for fault detection and classification based on Recurrent Neural Network
(RNN) are suggested in this paper. RNNs are trained using different data available from SG MATLAB/
SIMULINK model. Simulation of different fault scenarios based on LabVIEWTM program is discussed.
The studied fault scenarios include; fault type, location, resistance and fault inception angle. The RNN
based algorithm is experimentally tested using an actual SG. Practical design and implementation of the
proposed fault detector and classifier are presented. The hardware system is designed and built to acquire
the currents at both ends of SG terminals.

Results:

The presented results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to detect minor
ground faults near the neutral terminal (less than 5% of stator winding).

Conclusion:

The experimental analysis shows that the proposed RNN detects and classifies the internal
faults correctly, fastly and remain stable after the faults occur.
Efficiency of Using Mastication Test with Food Stimuli While Performing Electromyographic Studies in Dental Patients
Authors: Kinash Oksana , Rozhko Mycola , Kostyshyn Andryyi
Published: June 2018

The relevance of the topic is related to the necessity for a more detailed study of the effectiveness of surface electromyography as a method for diagnosis of pathological conditions of the teeth-and-jaws system and estimation of the orthopaedic treatment results. The objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of using a mastication test while performing surface electromyography in dental patients. We studied and analysed the output of surface electromyograms of m.masseter and m.temporalis obtained from a functional test of the maximum jaw clenching and a mastication test with a food stimulus in 54 persons. The results of the study showed a slight difference in the absolute values between the data of the functional test of the maximum jaw clenching and the mastication test. However, the comparative data of the tests after editing (removal of fragments representing the maximal mouth opening during the mastication from electromyograms in the "Neuro-MSP" program) showed no significant difference in data ($>$0.05) and the maximum approximation of the absolute values of the functional and mastication tests in all cases. Thus, it has been established that in practice the mastication test while performing electromyography in dental patients should be determined and carried out as an additional one in order to clarify the results of treatment. Further studying and establishment of the most effective methods for electromyography is considered to be promising in dentistry.

Latar Belakang: Saat ini, sistem informasi kesehatan diperlukan untuk mendukung layanan kesehatan. Penerapan sistem informasi kesehatan berpotensi meningkatkan performa fasilitas kesehatan, menghemat biaya, dan meningkatkan kepuasan pelanggan (pasien). Namun, implementasi banyak sistem justru akan menambah beban kerja petugas.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penggunaan dan jenis-jenis data pada sistem informasi kesehatan di Puskesmas Gondokusuman II Kota Yogyakarta.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Subyek penelitian ini adalah lima orang petugas pengguna sistem sedangkan obyeknya adalah sistem informasi kesehatan yang diimplementasikan di puskesmas. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan studi dokumentasi. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis data kualitatif.Hasil: Sistem informasi kesehatan yang digunakan di Puskesmas Gondokusuman II sebanyak tujuh sistem. Pengguna harus memasukkan data kesehatan yang sama pada setiap sistem informasi kesehatan. Data tersebut meliputi identitas sosial pasien dan data klinis. Proses pemasukan data yang sama akan membuat pekerjaan menjadi tidak efisien. Untuk mengatasinya, model pengembangan bridging system berbasis web service perlu dikembangkan.Kesimpulan: Bridging system yang diterapkan sebaiknya mencakup semua sistem informasi kesehatan sehingga pengguna tidak perlu memasukkan data yang sama secara berulang. Sistem memungkinkan data yang sama secara otomatis masuk ke sistem lain tanpa harus diketikkan kembali.
