PENGARUH KOMPENSASI TERHADAP MOTIVASI KERJA KARYAWAN
Authors: Mubaroq Rifki Ali , Zulkarnaen Wandy
Published: January 2019

Dalam suatu perusahaan imbalan atau balas jasa itu disebut dengan kompensasi. Besarnya kompensasi yang telah diberikan perusahaan kepada  karyawan sudah ditentukan dan diketahui sebelumnya, sehingga karyawan secara pasti mengetahui kompensasi yang akan diterimanya. Besarnya kompensasi mencerminkan status, pengakuan dan tingkat pemenuhan kebutuhan yangdinikmati oleh karyawan bersama keluarnya. Jika kompensasi yang diterima karyawan semakin besar berarti jabatannya semakin tinggi, statusnya semakin baik dan pemenuhan kebutuhan yang dinikmatinya semakin banyak.Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dan verifikatif, yang meneliti status sekelompok manusia, suatu objek, suatu set kondisi, suatu sistem pemikiran, ataupun suatu kelas peristiwa pada masa sekarang, dengan tujuan untuk membuat deskripsi, gambaran atau lukisan secara sistematis, factual dan akurat mengenai fakta-fakta, sifat-sifat serta hubungan antarfenomena yang diselidiki. Serta menguji hubungan variabel dari hipotesishipotesis yang diajukan disertai data empiris.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pengaruh kompensasi terhadap motivasi Kerja adalah sebesar 70,06 % atau dapat dikatakan pula, bahwa varians yang terjadi pada variabel Motivasi Kerja (Y) 70,06 % ditentukan oleh varians yang terjadi pada variabel Kompensasi (X). Sisanya sebesar 29,94 % ditentukan oleh faktor-faktor lain diluar penelitian, seperti motivasi, upah, penempatan pegawai,dan lain-lain.Dari analisis pengaruh kompensasi terhadap motivasi kerja pada PT.Shadiq Sharia Ex. BPRS Cipaganti Bandung, memiliki tingkat pengaruh yang sangat kuat sekali, hal ini berarti dengan semakin baiknya kompensasi yang diberikan oleh perusahaan, maka akan semakin baik pula motivasi kerja yangditujukkan oleh para karyawan. Dengan adanya pengaruh kompensasi terhadap motivasi kerja diharapkan PT. Shadiq Sharia Ex. BPRS Cipaganti Bandung, akan dapat tumbuh dan terus berkembang dimasa depan

Published: January 2019

Setiap perusahaan menyadari bahwa konsumen merupakan bagian terpenting, begitupun perusahaan jasa. Di dalam perusahaan jasa konsumen ikut terlibat dan langsung merasakan kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan oleh perusahan. Maka dari itu perusahaan harus memberikan kepuasan kepada konsumen yang sesuai dengan harapan dan keinginan konsumen baik dari pelayanan, manfaat prodak ataupun dari segi harga.Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif dengan meneliti suatu kelompok manusia, suatu objek, suatu set kondisi, suatu system pemikiran ataupun suatu kelas peristiwa pada masa sekarang. Tujuan dari penelitian deskriptif ini adalah untuk membuat deskripsi, gambaran atau lukisan secara sistematis, paktual dan akurat mengenai fakta-fakta, sifat-sifat serta hubungan antar fenomena yang diselidiki.Dari hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bentuk persamaan regresi linear sederhana sebagai berikut : Y = 27.780 + 1.709X, artinya bahwa peningkatan aspek penetapan harga akan mengakibatkan peningkatan terhadap kepuasan konsumen. Dengan kata lain setiap peningkatan aspek penetapan harga sebesar 1 akan diikuti dengan peningkatan aspek kepuasan konsumen sebesar 1.709. Demikian pula sebaliknya, jika aspek strategi penetapan harga mengalami penurunan sebesar 1 maka aspek kepuasan konsumen pasti akan cenderung mengalami penurunan sebesar 1.790.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Undergoing Assisted Reproduction
Authors: Chau Tran Thi Minh , Lan Vuong Thi Ngoc
Published: January 2019

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age. PCOS is often associated with insulin resistance and carries an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of GDM in women with a history of PCOS. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single center in Vietnam between January 2014 and December 2017. A total of 400 women who conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) were included, 200 who had been diagnosed with PCOS, and 200 without a PCOS diagnosis as controls. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between risk of GDM and PCOS after adjusting for confounders. GDM was present in 37% of those with PCOS, compared with 26.5% in those without PCOS (RR 1.4, 95% CI 1.04-1.87, p=0.02). The prevalence of GDM did not differ signifi between PCOS phenotype groups (p=0.28). Women with PCOS undergoing ART had a higher risk of GDM after adjusting for differences in age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, type of infertility, ART indications, and type of ART (adjusted OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.06-3.92). First-trimester fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was also an independent predictor for GDM (adjusted OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.01-2.34). This study suggests that PCOS and fi FPG are independent risk factors for the development of GDM.

Background: This study was carried out to identify important zoonotic diseases of beef cattle at slaughter in Bangladesh. Methods: A total of 20 slaughtered cattle of both sexes, different ages and breeds were taken under investigation from Nilphamari, Rajshahi and Mymensingh district, Bangladesh during July to October, 2017. Detailed ante-mortem and post-slaughter lesions were inspected and the tissues from the lungs, liver, kidney and spleen were collected aseptically for histopathological examination. The tissue sections were processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain, acid fast stain and Gram stain. To detect the presence of specific microorganism in the tissues, the genomic DNA was extracted and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out. Results: Grossly, liver appeared as most affected organ followed by lungs, kidney and spleen. Wide spread necrosis and pipe steam liver due to fascioliasis (n=4), hydatidosis in lungs (n=3), congestion in the kidney (n=4) and petechial hemorrhage (n=2) in the spleen were the predominant lesions observed in the slaughtered cattle. H&E staining of tissue sections revealed granulomas in two liver and one lungs. Lung section stained with acid fast stain detected the acid fast bacilli in a case. Tissue sections stained with Gram stain showed cocci bacteria in the liver of two cattle. The PCR confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a cattle. Conclusions: Fascioliasis, hydatidosis and important zoonotic disease like tuberculosis are prevalent in the slaughtered cattle in Bangladesh. PCR technology appeared as a sensitive and specific screening test to diagnose tuberculosis. However, screening of large number of samples is necessary to detect the presence of important zoonotic diseases in cattle for safe beef production.

TRANSFORMATION, REVOLUTION, EVOLUTION: PROVOCATIVE TIMES FOR PROSTHETICS & ORTHOTICS
Authors: Raschke Silvia Ursula
Published: January 2019

ARE WE CRAZY?The launch of a new journal, the Canadian Prosthetics and Orthotics Journal (CPOJ), is a good time to consider the brilliance – or foolhardiness – of such a venture as well-established peer-review journals struggle to survive. The challenges faced by the traditional, print based, peer-review publishing model are rooted in a greater wave of rapid disruptive change influencing technology innovation models and economic models in a wide range of sectors, including health care across the clinical care delivery continuum.

How will this change influence prosthetics and orthotics and what does it mean for the future? These are important questions to consider, as CPOJ charts a course aiming to respond to these trends in a positive, sustainable way while adhering to high professional and academic standards. Finding answers starts with a short reflection on the causes of this change: the threads weaving the fabric of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

USER EXPERIENCES WITH TRADITIONAL AND 3D-PRINTED UPPER EXTREMITY PROSTHESES, DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY INSTRUMENT
Authors: Mankoff Jennifer , Savage Saiph , Eckert Sydney , Ngo Chelsea , Fiedler Goeran
Published: January 2019

INTRODUCTION

Additive Manufacturing (AM), colloquial known as 3D-printing, has been deemed capable to revolutionize a great number of industries, including the Health Care industry.1 In the field of upper limb prosthetics, it has been attempted to leverage the potential advantages of AM, such as crowd based design optimization, infrastructure independent fabrication, and economical material use, in the interest of providing low-cost, readily available devices to recipients whose needs were only insufficiently met by traditional approaches of device prescription and fitting. While the popular media has been quick to emphasize the potential – perceived or real – of 3D printed prostheses, clinicians have generally been less euphoric and the base of scientific evidence on questions related to these applications has been small.2 As with most research endeavors in prosthetics and orthotics, recruiting sufficient sample sizes to allow solid conclusions is a perennial challenge also in this sub-field. As a consequence, the effectiveness of the many 3D-printed upper limb devices made by volunteers of the E-nable community (Fig.1) is yet to be determined. Self-reported outcome assessment tools can somewhat mitigate the issue of low sample sizes. However, none have been applied to a wider range of device classes, to allow comparative analyses across those. We describe the development and preliminary testing of an online based survey tool to generate comparison outcome data for a wide variety of upper limb prosthetics devices, including varieties that are 3D-printed by hobbyists.

ONLINE ACCESS TO RESEARCH PAPERS – CHANGES OVER TIME
Authors: Burke Julie , Fiedler Goeran
Published: January 2019

INTRODUCTION

The successful implementation of Evidence Based Practice (EBP) depends significantly on practitioners’ access to relevant research articles. It has been argued that the time consuming nature of EBP is a major detriment to its acceptance and widespread use,1 and the logistical difficulties, like having to retrieve research publications of interest from the local university library, are likely to exacerbate this issue. In recognizing the associated adverse effects that this problem could present for knowledge generation and dissemination, the idea to make all research findings publicly available online led to the conception of the world wide web in the early 1990s.2 However, many scientific journals that are slow to abandon their subscription-based business models hide their online content behind paywalls, charging article fees that are usually in the range between $20 and $40. Acknowledging the barriers to EBP that these fees can impose, we have previously compared different strategies for prosthetists and orthotists to maximize their free online access to relevant research literature. The respective data collection in the Spring of 2017 resulted in the finding that approximately 40% of search results in Google Scholar linked to freely available full papers, whereas the remaining 60% links offered only the abstract, but not the full paper, free-of-charge.3 In light of the ever progressing efforts to improve public availability of research, such as the open-access publishing movement or the respective requirements mandated by research funding agencies, we hypothesized that the ratio of freely available online articles is increasing over time, and we repeated our data collection one year after the initial study.

Why Do States Seek to Acquire Nuclear Weapons?
Authors: Hamedan Hamdan
Published: January 2019

Conventional wisdom maintains that security concerns are the primary motivation for states to seek nuclear weapons. Indeed, history has shown that the predominant decisions to go nuclear (starting from the U.S., the Soviet Union, China, Israel, Pakistan, and to North Korea) appear to be motivated by security concerns. Yet, the fact there have been nuclear-capable states with precarious security concerns that have decided not to seek nuclear weapons serve to challenge the aforementioned conventional wisdom. Moreover, further research and case-by-case study coupled with understanding of the fact that each state in the world has different security condition and challenges show that security concerns are, in reality, not always the primary motivation.

Indonesian Female Peacekeepers in The United Nations Peacekeeping Mission
Authors: Hutabarat Leonard F.
Published: January 2019

As peacekeeping has evolved to encompass a broader humanitarian approach, women personels have become increasingly part of the peacekeeping family. The UN has called for more deployment of female peacekeepers to enhance the overall “holistic” approach to current UN peacekeeping operations. There is clearly more work to be done to integrate more female peacekeepers into UN missions. More skilled and trained female peacekeepers can only be an asset to future peacekeeping operations. In October 2000, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. The resolution was hailed as a landmark resolution in that for the first time, the Security Council recognised the contribution women make during and post-conflict. Since the adoption of Resolution 1325, attention to gender perspectives within the international peace agenda has ¬firmly been placed within the broader peace and security framework. This article explains the development of Indonesian female peacekeepers contribution in the period of 2009-20016 and argues why Indonesia needs to support and to consider deploying more female peacekeepers in UN peacekeeping operations.

Authors: Indrawan Raden Mas Jerry , Efriza Efriza
Published: January 2019

Terrorism, rooted in radical movement post 9/11 event in the United States, began to grow rapidly also in Indonesia. Radical movements, especially those based on religion, evolved into terrorist movements that threaten state security and defense. Civic education is part of the implementation of  state defense and security system. Radicalism, both as a movement and an ideology or a growing notion among Indonesians, is a threat to the state, that has a non-conventional nature. Therefore, civic education can be a program that can change people’s culture to put the love of the nation and the country as the main thing, thereby preventing the development of radical movements and ideology in Indonesia. The elements of religiosity (religion) can also play an important role in counteracting the threat of radicalism if it is integrated into the civic education curriculum. This paper will look at how civic education program can be used as a means of preventing the threat of radicalism in Indonesia.

Authors: Pakpahan Aknolt Kristian , Triwibowo Albert , Astari Magetsari Raden Roro Mirna
Published: January 2019

The problem of corruption is strongly rooted in Indonesia and became a problematic issue for Indonesia. Corruption that is also done by law enforcement officers is believed to have undermined the authority of the government not only in domestic but also in international scale. Systemic impact of corruption touches not only the economy sector as a strong pillar of the country's development but also touches the human spirit as part of the national development process. To overcome the problem of corruption, there must be a strong political will from the government that can be implemented in government policy such as promoting exemplary conduct and modest lifestyle, signing the integrity pact, creating an effective punishment, promoting a clear division and synergy among government agencies, establishing the one roof administration in the long run, and introducing an anti-corruption education early on.

 

Keywords: corruption, problems of fighting corruption, and political will.
