Authors: Yehuda Prasetya Pramono  , Dwi Setiawan
Published: January 2023

Perkembangan teknologi informasi saat ini sangat bermanfaat bagi masyarakat terutama dikalangan instansi baik pemerintahan maupun swasta. Salah satu kemajuan tehnologi informasi yang sering digunakan oleh instansi swasta dalam memecahkan masalah terstruktur ataupun semi terstruktur adalah Sistem Pendukung Keputusan atau Decision Support System (DSS). Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dirancang untuk menunjang seluruh tahapan pembuatan keputusan, yang dimulai dari tahapan mengidentifikasi masalah, memilih data yang relevan, menentukan pendekatan yang digunakan dalam proses pembuatan keputusan sampai pada kegiatan mengevaluasi pemilihan alternative. Selainitu juga digunakan untuk menunjang sebuah keputusan seperti Pengambilan keputusantentang promosi jabatan.

Promosi jabatan merupakan salah satu bentuk apresiasi perusahaan terhadap Sumber Daya Manusia atas hasil kerjanya. Penilaian kinerja untuk promosi jabatan juga sudah banyak dilakukan oleh perusahaan swasta salah satunya adalah pada bidang Manufaktur garment di kota Semarang, PT. Richtek Garmindo adalah perusahaan swasta yang bergerak di bidang Manufaktur garmen. Untuk mendapatkan Sumber Daya Manusia Asisten Chief Supervisior Sewing maka penilaian kinerja untuk promosi jabatan akan diambil dari karyawan bagian sewing yang sudah berkompeten dalam hal sewing.

Saat ini promosi jabatan yang dilakukan oleh PT. Ricktek garmindo belum optimal dan masih bersifat subjektif karena masih menggunakan sistem manual yaitu masing-masing supervisior memilih atau menyeleksi langsung operator sewing yang dipromosikan dengan kriteria skill kerja saja, pemilihan yang dilakukan oleh supervisior juga masih menggunakan nilai kekerabatan dalam proses seleksi, dan karena terlalu banyaknya operator sewing serta belumadanya sistem yang terintregasi maka proses seleksi masih berjalan lama kurang lebih 1 bulan untuk mendapatkan operator sewing yang siap untuk dipromosikan.

Perceived financial well-being as antecedent of psychological well-being: evidence from Brazil
Authors: Ponchio Mateus Canniatti , Rohden Simoni Fernanda , Mette Frederike Budiner
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: Este estudo investiga como a relação entre o bem-estar financeiro percebido e o bem-estar psicológico é influenciada pela perda de renda no contexto das condições econômicas e sociais adversas resultantes da pandemia de Covid-19.Método: Uma pesquisa realizada com 959 respondentes brasileiros permitiu que as hipóteses de pesquisa fossem testadas por meio de modelos de equações estruturais multigrupo.Originalidade/Relevância: Indivíduos que relataram ter sofrido maiores perdas de renda também relataram níveis mais baixos de bem-estar financeiro e psicológico. Entre os preditores de bem-estar psicológico que testamos, a segurança financeira futura esperada é o mais importante.Resultados: Nossos achados mostram que, após controlar por gênero, idade e renda, o estresse da gestão de dinheiro atual e a segurança financeira futura esperada (as dimensões presente e futura do bem-estar financeiro percebido, respectivamente), mas não o conhecimento financeiro, são estatisticamente significantes para explicar o bem-estar psicológico.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O papel do conhecimento financeiro para predizer o bem-estar financeiro fica fragilizado na presença das variáveis psicológicas investigadas, o que tem implicações importantes para os esforços de educação financeira. Bancos e outras instituições financeiras podem criar ferramentas para aumentar a consciência pessoal e a responsabilidade sobre o futuro financeiro de uma pessoa.Contribuições sociais / para a gestão: As implicações gerenciais e sociais incluem o fornecimento de conhecimento que pode permitir que programas de educação financeira, intervenções de capacitação econômica e políticas públicas destinadas a reduzir o impacto negativo da tensão financeira no bem-estar financeiro percebido sejam mais bem direcionados.
Brand identity co-creation dilemma
Authors: Alves Antonio Pedro Cruz Costa , Rodrigues Fabiano
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: A co-criação é um tema com interesse crescente em branding, principalmente em relação à identidade de marca. Acadêmicos têm argumentado que a marca não é mais estável, permanente ou definida de maneira unilateral, mas deveria ser dinâmica e co-criada com diversos stakeholders. No entanto, essas duas visões distintas da identidade de marca revelam um dilema: co-criar ou não co-criar? Será que a identidade de marca é, ao mesmo tempo, constante e dinâmica, duradoura e efêmera, criada e co-criada? A co-criação ajudará a construir marcas fortes ou acabará por diluí-las? Este artigo tem por objetivo endereçar esse aparente paradoxo e fazer proposições teóricas sobre a relação entre co-criação e identidade de marca.Metodologia/Abordagem: Foi feita uma revisão sistemática de artigos relacionados à identidade de marca e à co-criação. Por meio da análise da literatura, discutimos teoricamente o impacto da co-criação na identidade de marca, fazendo uma relação com as teorias das representações sociais e do núcleo central.Resultados: Identificamos que o processo de co-criação tem diversas facetas: o envolvimento de executivos e funcionários, performances e negociações entre stakeholders e um processo evolutivo e potencialmente anárquico da identidade de marca, além de tensões e contestações.Contribuição Teórica: São apresentadas quatro proposições: (1) a identidade de marca tem um núcleo, que é mais permanente, e uma identidade de marca estendida, que é mais maleável; (2) quão mais perto a co-criação chegar do núcleo da identidade de marca, maior será o risco de sua diluição; (3) a co-criação é um processo dinâmico que pode impactar negativamente a identidade de marca; (4) quanto mais a identidade de marca estendida é co-criada, maior é o impacto positivo no brand equity.Originalidade: Este estudo discute os efeitos adversos da co-criação na identidade de marca, o que não é frequentemente analisado pela academia. Além disso, são feitas proposições sobre o limite de aplicação da co-criação antes de começar a diluir a identidade de marca.

Authors: SOYTÜRK Gamze , KIZILKAN Önder , EZAN Mehmet Akif
Published: January 2023

Even though the performance of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) panels had been examined both computationally and experimentally for some time, the thermal models created in earlier research were mostly steady-state models for estimating the annual yields. In this study, the solar thermal collector and photovoltaic (PV) cells are combined to create the PV/T collector, and water-ethylene glycol is utilized as a coolant to lower the temperature of the PV panels. The goal of this study is to analyze a water-ethylene glycol-based PV/T collector numerically. Time-dependent dynamic analyzes were performed using the MATLAB software program. Investigations were also done into how the electrical power produced and the temperatures of the fluid outlet and PV/T surface changed over time. As a result of the annual analysis, the maximum power of PV/T is calculated as 155 W. Also, the maximum surface temperature of PV/T panel’s is 56.62°C.

In this study, in order to reduce the core losses of power transformers, the case of using two cores that can be activated according to the need instead of a single core is discussed. As it is known, in power transformers, the tolerance of core losses in the case of drawing the nominal power from the secondary depends on the materials used. In particular, the flux loss of the soft, siliceous sheet forming the core is tried to be improved by the manufacturing companies. However, if a small amount of the nominal power is drawn from this transformer while using a single core, core losses can be even greater than the power drawn. In the project of this study, a transformer with two different cores will be produced by dividing the core that will provide the total nominal power while manufacturing the transformer instead of a single core. Theoretical studies and simulation results show that this is possible. In the scientific literature, this situation is examined as a parallel study. It is known that transformers that show high variability in the amount of loading throughout the year in the national grid operate at a low occupancy rate. Instead of the single active core, the increase in the occupancy rate will make the second core active and meet the demand by working in parallel with the cores, which will contribute to the country's economy. Here, the switching on and off of the two cores placed in the same tank will be adapted considering the operating range of the cores with the highest efficiency by selecting the true direction of windings. Transformer prototypes to be produced within the scope of the new generation dual-core transformer project will be selected from among transformers with unbalanced load profiles in YEDAŞ responsibility areas, and transformers with a power of 2x50 kVA will be installed to be applied in pilot areas.

Published: January 2023

In today's sponge industry, sponges are large and take up space, so there is an excessive amount of shipments for delivery. For this reason, there is a need for a system that can pack the sponge in order to reduce the height of the sponge and to ensure the shipment of more products at once, in order to compress the sponge and prevent it from returning to its original state. In this study, the design and analysis of the sponge compression and packaging system, which will reduce the height of the sponge by 10 times, has been made. Soldiworks program was used to model this system. The structural analysis of the system was examined with the help of the widely used Ansys Workbench 18.1 program, that is, the stress, deflection and safety coefficient values of the system elements were obtained. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the designed system can be used safely in the compression and packaging operations of sponges up to 28 density.

Published: January 2023

People spend a third of their lives asleep. A good night's sleep is a key to waking up pain-free, while providing an excellent opportunity to rest. Pillows are indispensable objects for a comfortable sleep. Sleeping position and personal preferences influence on the type of pillow a person need. However, there is no mutual language for the perception of comfort. This study focuses on the experimental study of the hardness measurement process to establish an objective method for evaluating pillow hardness and to examine the relationship between sensory evaluation and compression properties of pillows. In order to determine the comfort and pillow hardness parameters, studies on various fields and products were examined. A machine that measures and defines the compression amount of the pillow and the height data obtained by applying a certain force to the entire surface of the pillow has been designed. Pillows with different properties and weights were tested and the height values after applying the force were processed within the data obtained from the machine. By determining the limit and mean values, the pillows were categorized as soft, medium-soft, medium, medium-hard and hard. As a consequence of this study, through the developed hardness measurement method, product classifications were made and the user's feeling on pillow hardness was observed.

Published: January 2023

In this study, the design of a two scissors greenhouse lift trolley is considered. The maximum height of the platform from the ground is 3500 mm. A program developed in Visual BASIC to automate the design is introduced. The lift is modeled in SolidWorks (SW) and the finite element (FE) modal and static analyses are performed as an initial design first by using graphical user interface (GUI). The lift contains revolute joints and slider joints. A simply supported beam which has two revolute joints and a slider joint is studied to verify how to model the joints. Pim connectors are defined for revolute joints in SW-FE analysis. Spring connectors with very large values are defined between sliding faces in the normal direction for translational joints. The results obtained with solid finite elements in SW are compared with analytical results for the natural frequency and static analyses and it was observed that the results are in good agreement for the simply supported beam.

     An Excel file where a main sheet contains the list of the bodies and all the geometric values is created after the initial design. The Excel file also contains sheets for each body. Body sheets have all the dimensions in the sketches and features. The dimension values in the cells of the body sheets are defined by formulas related to the geometric values given in the main sheet. Kinematic, kinetic, and revision of the SW model are performed by the design automation program. The FE analyses are done by GUI and the results are evaluated. If the results are not satisfactory, the geometric values are changed in Excel file and the analyses are repeated. The final design is obtained by the iteration easily. The automation program and the procedure developed in this work can be extended other scissors lifts.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION Tumors of the salivary glands account for approximately 3 to 4% of all head and neck neoplasms. It is estimated that 10-15% of them are malignant. The most common benign tumor is pleomorphic adenoma, while the most common malignant tumors are adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Neoplasms of the salivary glands are extremely histologically diverse, which results from the complex embryogenesis of the salivary glands. The identified risk factors for tumors of the salivary glands are: ultraviolet radiation, ionizing radiation, viral infections, nicotine and alcohol. MATERIAL AND METHOD The aim of the study was an epidemiological analysis of patients with salivary gland neoplasms, the distribution and histopathological characteristics of individual neoplasms treated at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Medical University of Warsaw in 2010-2020. The diagnoses were analyzed according to the latest WHO 2017 histological classification of salivary gland tumors. In addition, the material was supplemented with data on the 5-year survival rates of patients with malignant neoplasms obtained from the Registry of Marital Status. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The material contained 407 neoplasms of the salivary glands over a 11-year period, of which malignant neoplasms accounted for 17.4%. The malignant tumors were dominated by: adenoid cystic carcinoma (28,2%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (12,7%), and acinic cell carcinoma (9,9%). Lymphomas (15,5%) were also a large group. The benign neoplasms were dominated by pleomorphic adenoma (54.1%) and Warthin's tumor (36%). Tumors of the salivary gland the most often affected the parotid gland (92%). CONCLUSIONS The obtained data are consistent with the general epidemiological data described in the current literature.

The present study was a part of the survey which was carried out on Pashmina goats during November 2014 to October 2015 from in and around Nyoma block of Leh in 13 villages. There were around 38,412 Pashmina goats in 228 flocks which were less than 8 years recorded from these areas. Young goats constituted around 15–20% of whole goat population. The male and female goat constituted about 27–32% and 68–73% of total adult population respectively. During the study, an attempt was also made to find out ectoparasite prevalence, which showed that 21.12% male, 32.89% female goats and 35.31% young ones were infested by single or mixed ectoparasites. The infestation rate of ectoparasites was significantly higher in females against male goats. The analysis also showed that the prevalence of ectoparasites was significantly higher in younger (35.31%) than adult goats (27.01%). The most common ectoparasites encountered were lice. Tick was present in very less predominance. Flea and mite were rarely present. The seasons of highest infestation of ectoparasites were autumn and winter (>65%), the least being spring and summer. Therefore, to reduce high prevalence of ectoparasites and their impacts on the productivity and health status in Pashmina goats, appropriate and strategic control measures by creating awareness among farmers through extension services is needed.

The specimens included were, sera samples and choanal swabs (150 each) collected from 150 birds housed in semi arid and costal area of Maharashtra (India). Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was more prevalent than Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) in mycoplasmosis detected by rapid serum agglutination test (RSA), cultural isolation and direct PCR of samples. Nucleotide sequences of three representative MG isolates with NCBI accession nos. KY467400, KY467401 and KY467403 did not show any variations in their sequences analysed and matched with published strains of MG. RSA, cultural isolation and direct PCR yielded 93 (62%), 24 (16%) and 85 (56.67%) positive cases respectively. The sensitivity of PCR and RSA was 95.83% and 83.33% respectively. Thus, RSA and PCR were better than cultural isolation in diagnosis of poultry mycoplasmosis, therefore these methods can be used for screening the flocks for detection of mycoplasma infection depending on availability of specimens and facility.

A detailed investigation on the antilithiatic and diuretic activity of ethanolic extract of seeds and fruit of Cucurbita moschata was undertaken to find the pharmacological basis for the ethnomedicinal use. The ethanolic extract was evaluated for its inhibitory potential on lithiasis (stone formation), induced by oral administration of 0.75% ethylene glycolated water to adult male albino Wistar rats for 28 days. The ethanolic extract significantly reduced the elevated levels of crucial urinary ions, viz. calcium, oxalate, and phosphate and also significantly reduced the increased deposition of stone forming constituents in the kidney of calculogenic rats. The high serum creatinine level observed in ethylene glycol-treated rats was also reduced, following treatment with the extract. The diuretic activity of Cucurbita moschata extract at the dosage of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg was compared with standard drug Furosemide at the dosage of 20 mg/kg by determination of urine volume, its sodium and potassium concentrations. The extract exhibited significant diuretic activity in rats. All the observations under study provided the basis for the conclusion that seed and fruit extract of Cucurbita moschata inhibits stone formation induced by ethylene glycol treatment and also have significant diuretic activity.

Steroid receptors particularly estrogen receptor alpha and progesterone receptor beta are essential for mammary gland development. Objective of this study was to explore transcript and protein expression profile of steroid receptors in goat mammary glands. A varied expression of ER-alpha and PR-B was observed during lactation, nonlactating/ dry, mastitic and mammary pre-cancer/cancer in goats. During lactation, immunopositivity of ER-alpha was observed only in the nuclei of mammary epithelial cells (MEC) and stromal cells. However, in non-lactating stage, ER-alpha immunopositivity was observed both in nucleus and cytoplasm of MEC. In mammary pre-cancer (based on aberrant expression of CD10, FNDC3B and MUC1) immunoreactivity of ER-alpha (38±12.5%) varied from non-lactating (14.8±3.1%) and lactating (7.9±2.6%) glands. During naturally infected mastitis, a reduction in the expression of ER-alpha and PR-B was observed.We observed similar expression patterns of ER-alpha and PR-B as that of their protein expression. Transcripts of these receptors were highest in mammary precancer. In comparison to lactating glands, expressions of ER-alpha and PR-B was upregulated in mammary precancers by 17- folds and 9.2-folds, respectively. These results showed a reduction in expression of steroid receptors in mastitic glands and upregulation in mammary precancer indicating role of these receptors in cell proliferation.

The present investigation was conducted to compare milk minerals and constituents in different bovine speciesand breeds. The genetic and non-genetic factors affecting milk fat, protein and milk mineral composition in crossbredcattle were investigated. The effect of breeds was highly significant on copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), potassium (K), fat and protein, significant (pâ‰¤0.05) on calcium (Ca) and non-significant on phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) content. The Ca, Cu, fat and protein were significantly higher in Murrah buffalo followed by Tharparkar cattle and crossbred cattle. However, Mn and Zn were higher in Tharparkar cattle followed by Murrah buffalo and crossbred cattle. Tharparkar milk was also rich in Na and K followed by crossbred cattle and Murrah buffalo. The effect of parity was highly significant only on Mn, whereas, effect of lactation stage (LS) was significant on Fe and Cu in milk of crossbred cattle. The effect of Test Day Milk Yield (TDMY) was significant on Fe and Cu. The product moment correlation was highest (0.414) between Zn and Fe and lowest (-0.347) between Cu and Zn. Among milk minerals, the estimates of heritability for Fe, Ca and Mn were moderate, where as it was low for otherminerals in crossbred cattle.

The indigenous cattle of Uttarakhand has become the first registered cattle breed of the state with the name of ‘Badri Cattle’ during 2016. The present study was carried out to assess the sustainability of Badri cattle rearing in the hills of Uttarakhand. Sustainability of Badri cattle rearing was evaluated by measuring 4 indices, i.e. Economic Sustainability Index (ESI), Social Sustainability Index (SSI), Environmental Sustainability Index (EnSI), and Composite Sustainability Index (CSI). Economic sustainability was measured by 6 indicators, viz. production efficiency, net profit, marketing, lactation length, dry period, and calving interval. Social sustainability was measured by 2 indicators, viz. community relation of Badri cattle owners and their access to resource and support services and Environmental sustainability was measured by 4 indicators, viz. animal welfare, dung utilization pattern, waste management and preparedness for disasters. The CSI for each respondent was calculated as mean of the indices. The mean values for ESI, SSI, EnSI and CSI were 0.39±0.09, 0.34±0.21, 0.42±0.11 and 0.38±0.09 respectively. The result revealed that the majority of respondents (41.7–97.5%) had medium level of ESI (0.34–0.66), SSI (0.34–0.66), EnSI (0.34–0.66) and CSI (0.34–0.66) suggesting that Badri cattle rearing is sustainable in the hills of Uttarakhand. Further social participation of the respondents and their formal information source utilization score had a positive and highly significant effect on the sustainability of Badri cattle rearing.
