Authors:   Universitas Bali Dwipa, Suardana Ketut
Published: November 2021

Mẻn Brayut text is one of Balinese texts develops in Balinese communities. The text is represented in spoken and written text held by Balinese communities. Even more, the text is supported with the statue of Mẻn Brayut found in number of temples in Bali. However, the message conveyed through the text has not been understood yet by most Balinese people. This phenomenon makes the text be interpreted differently. This is because the text has social semiotic conveyed through nonverbal language. Therefore, this research focused on social context embedded in the text of Mẻn Brayut to solve the differences interpretation. The theory used to explore used to analyze the problems is Systemic Functional Linguistics proposed by Halliday. The data were taken from written text (Suwija, 2019). The research used qualitative method since the theory is used as guidance of data collection. The data were collected based on field, tenor, and mode. The result of the result showed that the text described seriousness and sincerity of mother develops the children without having profit orientation, but she emphasizes in profound love. More abstractly, text of Mẻn Brayut represented in statue accompanied by many children placed in number of temples in Bali is interpreted as the propound God’s love for all human.

On the Possible Existence of a ‘First Law of Environmental Stewardship’: How Organisations Bring Volunteers Together in Social and Geographic Space
Authors: Lopez Christina W. , Weaver Russell C.
Published: November 2021

This article contends that environmental organisations vary in type, scale and purpose in ways that help stewards self-sort into the opportunities that align with their individual motivations and environmental concerns. To explore these potential links between personal motivations and environmental organisational attributes, we rely on descriptive and inferential statistics from surveys of two partner environmental organisations: one local scale community based-organisation and one a broader scale environmental non-profit organisation, both located in Central Texas, USA. These partners were selected based on their compatible pro-environmental missions but disparate spatial scales of operation. The survey results (n=377) revealed meaningful between-organisation differences in volunteer environmental stewards, which raise the possibility of a ‘First Law of Environmental Stewardship’ whereby all stewards are related (by their values), but stewards in the same organisation are more related than stewards in different organisations. These findings expose some of the nuances of environmental volunteerism by highlighting connections between personal motivations, geographic scale, and organisation type.

Software-Prüfung
Authors: Frühauf Karol , Ludewig Jochen , Sandmayr Helmut
Published: November 2021

Die Prüfung der Software – nicht nur des Codes, sondern auch aller Dokumente – ist nach der systematischen Entwicklung die wichtigste Voraussetzung, um gute Software-Produkte zu schaffen. Daran hat sich seit der ersten Auflage dieses Buches im Jahre 1991 nichts geändert, seit der gründlichen Überarbeitung für die fünfte Auflage im Jahre 2003 erst recht nicht. Unser Thema hat durch die Lancierung des Zertifizierungsschemas für Software-Tester in den letzten Jahren eine grössere Öffentlichkeit erhalten. In Deutschland vom German Testing Board e.V. (GTB) und in der Schweiz vom SAQ Swiss Testing Board (STB) erteilte Zertifikate basieren auf dem innerhalb des International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) abgestimmten Schema. Mit der Überarbeitung für diese Auflage haben wir die wenigen Lücken gegenüber dem Lehrplan des Basiszertifikats (Foundation Level), die wir finden konnten, geschlossen. Was über den Lehrplan hinaus geht, haben wir, soweit wir es weiterhin für gut und gültig halten, nicht gestrichen. Die grundlegenden Aussagen zur Software-Prüfung haben Bestand. Das Buch wendet sich an die Praktiker. Wenn sie die Inhalte erlernen, können sie sich zertifizieren lassen. Wenn sie die Inhalte beherzigen, können sie ihren Unternehmen mehr Nutzen bringen und haben auch selbst mehr von der Arbeit: Kompetent verrichtete Arbeit führt zum Erfolg, und der macht Spass.
“Japan LIVE Dashboard” for COVID-19: A Scalable Solution to Monitor Real-Time and Regional-Level Epidemic Case Data
Authors: Su Wei , Fu Wei , Kato Kojuro , Wong Zoie Shui-Yee
Published: November 2021

Under pandemic conditions, it is important to communicate local infection risks to better enable the general population to adjust their behaviors accordingly. In Japan, our team operates a popular non-government and not-for-profit dashboard project – “Japan LIVE Dashboard” – which allows the public to easily grasp the evolution of the pandemic on the internet. We presented the Dashboard design concept with a generic framework integrating socio-technical theories, disease epidemiology and related contexts, and evidence-based approaches. Through synthesizing multiple types of reliable and real-time local data sources from all prefectures across the country, the Dashboard allows the public access to user-friendly and intuitive disease visualization in real time and has gained an extensive online followership. To date, it has attracted c.30 million visits (98% domestic access) testifying to the reputation it has acquired as a user-friendly portal for understanding the progression of the pandemic. Designed as an open-source solution, the Dashboard can also be adopted by other countries as well as made applicable for other emerging outbreaks in the future. Furthermore, the conceptual design framework may prove applicable into other ehealth scaled for global pandemics.

Published: November 2021

Programs supporting the necessary combination of digital, organizational, and cultural transformational change, motivating and engaging the workforce, are scarce. This discussion paper reports on the initial experiences from a competency development program aiming at building capacity within the workforce, leaders, and organization in secondary healthcare to navigate and facilitate digitally transformative healthcare systems. The program aims to support employees and leaders who i) understand digitalization in and of practice, ii) reflect and approach digitalization in a critical and ethical way, iii) are curious and maintain a growth mind-set, iv) engage in development and implementation of digitalization, and v) can convey and communicate digitalization. The insights from the prototype can be useful in further promoting sustainable digitalization within healthcare and supporting leaders in their conduct and management of digital health initiatives.
How Demanding Is Healthcare Work? A Meta-Analytic Review of TLX Scores
Authors: Hertzum Morten
Published: November 2021

This study establishes how demanding healthcare work is experienced to be and whether nurses and physicians experience different levels of workload. A meta-analytic review was conducted of 87 studies that reported Task Load Index (TLX) scores for healthcare work. Of these studies, 37 were conducted in real-life settings and 50 in lab settings without real patients. In real-life settings, clinicians experienced a workload with a mean TLX of 49 (on a 0-100 scale). Divided onto staff groups, the mean TLX for nurses was 63, which was significantly higher than the mean of 40 for physicians. Among the six TLX subscales, the main contributors to workload were mental demand, temporal demand, and effort. They were higher than physical demand and frustration. The clinicians experienced their performance – the last subscale – as closer to poor than good in 38% of the studies conducted in real-life settings. The difference between nurses and physicians was consistent across all subscales, except mental demand. Finally, it is methodologically important that TLX scores appeared not to transfer directly from lab to real-life settings. To reduce the risk of errors and burnout, new healthcare procedures and technologies should be evaluated for their impact on workload.

O aumento progressivo do número de usuários é um ponto importante a ser discutido, visto que seu uso contínuo tem sido associado a síndromes de abstinência, dependência, tolerância e reações adversas, tornando-se motivo de preocupação, principalmente no âmbito universitário. O presente artigo apresenta como problemática a hipótese de que o uso de benzodiazepínicos é frequente em estudantes universitários do curso de farmácia do Unipac Barbacena – MG. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi conhecer o perfil de utilização destes medicamentos pelos estudantes de Farmácia do Unipac Barbacena – MG. Realizou-se a coleta de dados através de questionário online via Google Forms, disponibilizado no período de 22 de agosto a 30 de setembro de 2020 (Parecer CEP Unipac 4.212.688). Consideraram-se válidos 30 questionários respondidos, sendo a maioria mulheres na faixa etária entre 21 e 25 anos (57%). Os benzodiazepínicos foram utilizados por 66,6% dos participantes, sendo o fármaco de maior frequência o clonazepam (41%), seguido de diazepam (22%) e alprazolam (19%). Entre os motivos do uso, ressaltam-se ansiedade (44%), depressão (18%) e insônia (18%). Dos estudantes que utilizaram benzodiazepínicos, 65% o fizeram por período maior que 6 meses, o que pode induzir dependência e síndrome de abstinência, contradizendo recomendações da bula e da literatura. Os dados revelam um uso significativo destes medicamentos pelos estudantes e o farmacêutico apresenta papel central no uso racional e podem motivar ações institucionais nesse sentido.

Beside containing nickel (Ni), nickel laterite deposits also contain other elements, including iron (Fe) which have varying levels in each layer. In this study, the distribution of Fe content in the limonite layers was carried out using the indicator kriging method to analyze the probability distribution of iron levels and ordinary kriging to analyze the variability of iron levels spatially. Fitting the variogram was undertaken by using spherical, exponential and gaussian models. The selection of the best variogram model was carried out based on the smallest root mean square error (RMSE) value, while the estimation of resource potential was calculated by the polygon extended area method. The results of the interpolation show that the distribution of iron anomaly occupies ± 83,3% of the research area with a potential resource of ±64.522.110 ton of iron. The evaluation of the interpolation results base on the root mean square standardized prediction error (RMSP) indicates that the estimation results of iron content using the ordinary kriging method are underestimated.

The main activities at a mining site consist of stripping the overburden, unloading by blasting and surface mining, loading and transporting from the mining location to the crushing location. Blasting is an activity in mining that is carried out with the aim of dismantling the rock from its source rock into a predetermined size to facilitate further processes such as loading and crushing and a set production target. The less boulder, the better the resulting fragmentation because it will reduce the production costs for crushing the boulder to be smaller. This research focuses on blasting geometry planning as a parameter that is considered important in changing the size of the blasting rock fragmentation. The andesite blasting activity at the Batujajar 1 mine still found a fairly large percentage of rock blocks. Based on field observations, rock blocks resulting from blasting activities in the Batujajar 1 quarry are as follows: burden (B) 2.4 m, space (S) 3.1 m, stemming (T) 1.8 m, subdrilling (J ) 0 m, height (L) 6 m, into the blast hole (H) 6 m, column of explosives (Pc) 4.2 m, explosive material as much as 11.07 kg / hole. The drilling pattern applied is a staggered pattern and corner cut blasting pattern which is blasted in a row for each line with a delay time of 25 ms. The proposed geometry is calculated by calculating RL Ash 1963. With the theoretically proposed blasting geometry the results of rock chunks measuring> 80 cm according to RL Ash 1963 are 0.18%, then selected with the 1963 RL Ash theory, the results of rock fragmentation sizes are> 80 cm is 0.18%, this amount is better than the actual rock fragmentation which is still 9.11%, with the reduced number of boulders it is expected that production activities will run better.

The production of black pepper seedlings through grafting is a promising strategy to mitigate the effect of environmental stresses, such as drought, that limit its cultivation. However, studies on compatibility between grafts and rootstocks are still scarce, especially considering the wild species of the genus Piper and the cultivated genotypes of black pepper. The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between primary metabolism and the development of black pepper seedlings obtained through intra- and interspecific grafting. The method used was that of cleft lateral grafting, as graft the Bragantina cultivar, better known in the world as ‘Panniyur 1’, and ‘Kottanadan’ cultivar and three wild species (Piper hispidum, Piper aduncum and Piper tuberculatum) were used as root-stock. As a control, ´Bragantina` was grafted onto itself (homograft). The experiment was carried out for 110 days and the seedlings were evaluated for development, gas exchange, and carbohydrate allocation. The rootstock influences the development and primary metabolism of seedlings. P. aduncum showed greater initial compatibility among wild species, due to less impediment to carbohydrate flow. P. tuberculatum showed early incompatibility, as the grafts died. The seedlings grafted on P. hispidum and 'Kottanadan' had initial compatibility with an average of 78% survival and 60% budding, but they may have late incompatibility due to limitation of carbohydrate flow.
