Authors: Muthmainah Putri Aisyah , Nursin Afrizal
Published: May 2022

In the construction of a building project, one of the important elements in a building project is finishing work. Finishing work is a process of finishing or final completion of a building. The success of finishing work on the building depends on the success of each stage of the workers. Meanwhile, one of the factors influencing the success of a finishing work is the productivity of its workforce. This study aims to analyze productivity and what factors affect the productivity. This research uses the Relative Importance Index (RII) method, used a likert scale or a scale of 1 to 5 based on the perception of the level of interest of each respondent. Based on the results of the analysis, the performance of the project Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Pondok Cina Depok City on wall works is considered not good because the productivity index value is less than 1. Whereas the performance for floor and ceiling work is considered good because the productivity index value is more than 1. Factors that affect the productivity of finishing work are environment, work safety, education level, work experience, wages, and age.

The West Sumatra earthquake on September 30, 2009, has left a long sorrow for the families of the victims. The number of children who died at “Bimbel” center at that time was a proof of how vulnerable and at-risk children were to the threat of earthquakes. Learning from the past earthquakes, the local government and policy makers of West Sumatra Province have taken steps to take preventive measures, especially since the 2009 earthquake. Follow-up efforts such as reconstruction and rehabilitation have also been carried out well. However, these efforts will be meaningless if they are carried out sporadically and unsustainably. Efforts that have been carried out and have developed so far must be carried out from upstream to downstream in a more focused manner, starting from children to adults. Community capacity building, both through systematic socialization and sustainable disaster education, must continue to be carried out in every condition where there is no potential disaster in a disaster-prone area. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 24 of 2007 concerning disasters, it is states that one of the groups of people who are vulnerable to disasters is the age group of children. Earthquake disaster education and knowledge need to be introduced early on. This study aims at evaluating the importance of literacy and disaster education for children. The method used is an evaluation method and a review of several previous studies, then summarize the results obtained from some of the previous studies. The results of the study stated that disaster literacy for children is important to do from an early age, so that they have more readiness and capacity to face disasters in the future.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lytvyn Iryna , Danilyuk Julia ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: May 2022

The article is devoted to issues of state support and development of the startup ecosystem in the example of Romania. The peculiarities and reasons for its formation, as well as the characteristics of the main startups of the country, main directions of startup entrepreneurship development, PESTEL, and SWOT analysis of the national ecosystem of startups in Romania, are considered. The article analyzes the features of the ecosystem of startups in Romania: the growth of global investment and revival of Romanian investors in local startups, increasing the average size of checks for seed stages of financing, development of venture and innovation infrastructure, and the formation of 5 cities for startups in the global ranking of startup ecosystems StartupBlink. The article reviews the state support for startup entrepreneurship in countries, including the Start, Incubators, and Entrepreneurship Encouragement and Development Programs. Factors of the development of the local ecosystem of Romanian startups have been identified. The ecosystem of startups is attractive to global investors due to the pool of talented technicians and engineers, the availability of high-speed Internet and opportunities for startups to enter the European market, and the availability of effective acceleration programs for startups and digital infrastructure. The strengths and weaknesses of the local ecosystem of Romanian startups have been identified. Insufficient government policy to support startups, in particular in coordinating various programs and tools to boost entrepreneurship; the need to improve the regulatory framework of the country to the needs of digital technology; bureaucratic obstacles to starting and running a startup; the lack of entrepreneurship educa- tion programs in secondary and higher education are attributed to the problematic and weak points in the development of the local ecosystem of startups in Romania. The study allowed us to study the experience of developing the ecosystem of Romanian startups as an example to follow in the Ukrainian environment. Despite the political and economic situation in Ukraine, the is- sue of government assistance in the formation and development of cities for startups will significantly accelerate the process of postwar reconstruction of our country
GLOBAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS
Authors:   Odesa National Technological University, Pavlov Oleksandr
Published: May 2022

The issues related to the substantiation of ways and directions of global transformations of international economic relations (IER) are of bilateral scientific and practical relevance. On the one hand, it is about revealing the paradoxical nature of the process of globalization as such, including its economic component, and defining the essence and content of the IER as a globalized and integrated system – on the other. The complex and contradictory processes taking place in the modern world economy require a departure from a narrow-sectoral approach to the knowledge of important social processes, which undoubtedly include the problem of global IER transformations. The article describes the nature and content of global IER transformations on the basis of a systematic approach and the principle of interdisciplinarity. To achieve the goal of the study the following tasks are formulated and implemented: to characterize the essence of global transformations in the context of internationalization of economic life, economic globalization and international economic integration; identify trends in global IER transformations; to reveal the risks of global IER transformations. The hypothesis of the study is to recognize the interdependence of global transformations in the field of economy, environment, politics and innovative technologies. Scientific provisions, generalizations and conclusions of the study have a theoretical novelty, which is to reveal the paradoxical nature of global transformations of the IER, to determine the nature and content of this process. The study concludes on the specifics of global IER transformations, which is as follows: the relationship of transformational transformations in the economic, political, social, environmental, scientific and technical spheres and in the field of information and communication technologies; in the systemic nature of both the transformation process itself and the object of transformation – IER; of the intersection of the phenomena of internationalization of economic ties, economic globalization and international economic integration at the level of the process of transformation and its consequences for the IER. It was found that the goal of global transformations of the IER is to increase the dynamics of the process of social reproduction within the world space and overcome imbalances in the development of its reproductive phases, as well as between developed countries and countries that develop . With this in mind, there is a need for closer international scientific cooperation to jointly address the challenges of global IER transformations. Further scientific research should be focused on the implementation of these tasks.

The article investigates theoretical approaches to the essence of strategic planning, its significance, principles, problems of implementation in the farms of Ukraine, approaches to the algorithm of strategic plan development. Based on the comparative characteristics of strategic and operational planning, their differences are highlighted, the advantages of strategic planning and obstacles that hinder the full implementation of this process in Ukraine, while overcoming these obstacles will allow agricultural enterprises to develop a plan and implement marketing strategies. Strategic planning is a derivative of strategic management and therefore involves the development of a number of strategic decisions. Of course, in order to make a plan, it is necessary to proceed from the economic condition of the enterprise, its potential opportunities, problems. Marketing planning involves setting goals, developing and implementing an organization’s program, and having a monitoring and control mechanism in place to determine whether the planned program is being implemented or whether it has achieved the desired goals. Marketing planning is divided into strategic planning and operational planning, and plans can be classified by time and complexity.

The article is devoted to the study of South Korea’s tax policy, its impact on the economic development of this country and ways to use the experience of its tax reforms for the postwar reconstruction of Ukraine. The study has found that a set of measures aimed at stimulating South Korea’s economic development included tax breaks aimed at supporting its export sector, with a focus on knowledge-intensive and high-tech products. The correlation analysis has been used in this study demonstrated the well-known export component of South Korea’s economic growth and has confirmed the positive impact of lower overall tax rates on the country’s GDP growth rate. However, the analysis showed that the correlation of GDP growth with tax revenues in total GDP is almost absent, which means no relationship between the share of taxes in GDP and its growth rate. It has been found that tax policy in combination with other economic measures had a positive impact on the economic development of South Korea. In particular, the country has used special depreciation, investment tax credit and tax free reserves, tax holidays and other tax benefits that had a positive impact on the development of science-intensive export-oriented production. However, it is difficult to measure the net effect of tax breaks on the Korean economy, as they have been accompanied by other measures, such as export industries, which also received widespread credit support in the 1960s. The analysis revealed that the main shortcomings of South Korea’s tax system, which have held back its economic growth for a long time, include the non-transparency of preferential taxation and the complexity of the tax system as a whole. However, in general, the analysis shows that the share of taxes in South Korea’s GDP compared to other countries is at an average level. The article identifies promising ways to use the Korean tax experience in our country. Given the experience of South Korea, the reform of Ukraine’s tax system in the direction of promoting a knowledge intensive export sector on the basis of transparency and prevention of corruption is considered as promising.

Published: May 2022

The influence of the coronavirus was noted in every sphere of public life, and international labor migration was no exception. The pandemic once again focused on human economic and legal insecurity. Even though there are many legal acts in the modern world, in 2020 almost all migrant workers lost the chance to enjoy labor rights because they did not have the necessary mechanisms to interpret international legal agreements. The aim of the article is to assess the impact of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic on international labor migration. The article examines the impact of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic on international labor migration. It has been identified that the influence of the coronavirus has been observed in every sphere of public life, and international labor migration is no exception. It is noted that the effects caused by the coronavirus are still visible and have not been eliminated. Areas related to transport, hotels and restaurants, manufacturing and small businesses were the hardest hit, with the number of laid-off workers reaching 1.25 billion. The problem of the crisis of labor migration in the European Union, which arose due to the lack of full use of immigrants in the EU economy, is considered. The level of unemployment in different countries of the world is analyzed. It is concluded that the coronary crisis has created many problems for the world: restrictions on people’s rights to move, a direct threat to human lives, the global economic downturn, a serious crisis in medicine. It is proposed that in order to overcome the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, all countries of the world should follow the following actions: stimulate the economy and employment; provide support to enterprises; pay special attention to migrants; take care of the safety of workers in their workplace. The corona crisis has created many problems for the world: restrictions on people’s rights to move, a direct threat to human lives, the global economic downturn, and a serious medical crisis. Many countries have always needed labor from third countries, and Ukraine has also been a labor donor. The socio-economic problems caused by the pandemic will continue for some time to come, and this is likely to increase population movements, possibly internally and abroad. Recent years have seriously changed the state of the migrant movement of the working population, as the coronavirus pandemic has made its adjustments. COVID-19 has posed many challenges in the area of labor migration.

Published: May 2022

One of the health problems facing society is the regular need in blood components and preparations. Decreasing the volume of blood procurement and its components to a critical level in recent years is a significant problem in Ukraine. Various aspects of Ukrainian blood service institutions’ activity are presented in the works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists. At the same time, the possibilities of marketing in eliminating modern problems of the blood service remain unresolved. The aim of the work is to study the problems of the blood service market and identify those that can be solved with the help of marketing tools. The article’s objectives are to identify current problems in the blood service of Ukraine; systematization and classification of them, and the separation of those that can be solved with the help of marketing tools. Based on expert assessments and statistics on the blood service of Ukraine, the 15 most pressing problems of the Ukrainian blood service have been identified. All of them were systematized and classified into groups: information, logistics, production, security, financial and political. Some of them can be solved only at the state level, the negative impact of some can be solved by blood service institutions. It was found that with the help of marketing tools can be solved only information (lack of sufficient base of staff donors; the state does not properly promote voluntary donation and logistics) and logistics (insufficient number of donors; the problem of providing the medical industry with components and drugs of sufficient blood quantity, the problem of availability of components and blood products for medicine, a high percentage of write-off of erythrocyte mass) problems. Developed and implemented marketing programs to promote voluntary donation, marketing programs to attract new ones, retain existing ones and return lost donors can help increase the number of donors and the staff donor base. The development of information products for the accounting and exchange of data on the needs of the medical industry and their availability in blood centers and direct marketing tools in their divergence can solve a number of logistical problems.

Published: May 2022

Economic processes in Ukraine are related to the world ones, and the chosen course to build a socially oriented market economy determines the importance of sustainable human development, which determines the adaptation of all areas of economic objectives and areas of application. Therefore, the implementation of financial policy should provide conditions for the formation of the welfare of citizens and the leveling of disparities in the market economy, in particular in relation to social inequality and property stratification. In the 21st century global social and economic development has acquired new features – intensive development of technology and innovation, increasing the importance of services, accelerated integration into globalization – due to the transition of most countries to post-industrial society, knowledge economy, the dominant factor capital, its creative beginning and talent, which is expressed through new ideas, views and concepts. Creative human capital, in turn, is at the heart of the creative class – a stratum of society engaged in science and technology, science and art, the result of which is the latest products. The concept of "creative class" appeared in parallel with the transformation of the Internet space into an integral part of life. Therefore, the creative class is often associated with the concepts of "network" or "virtual" class, those people whose daily lives are largely shaped by the practices of the constant presence of IT technologies. The study of current trends in the labor market and determination the direction of human capital and labor resources are very important for the formation and implementation of financial policy in the priority of social development and the formation of conditions to reduce social disparities. Although the labor market falls under the regulation of financial policy quite indirectly, in particular in terms of the level of minimum wage or tariff-level regulation, but the functioning of the labor market provides the potential for taxes and income as a basis for livelihoods and human capital. In addition, trends and directions that occur in the field of employment and the structure of promising jobs, determine the priorities of the social component of government spending, as well as form the potential for the production of GDP.
BANK LENDING TO THE REAL SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INVESTMENT IN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES UNDER UNCERTAINTY
Authors:   Banking University, Rudevska Viktoriia , Slutskyi Bohdan ,   Banking University
Published: May 2022

The article discusses the need to further improve measures to increase lending by commercial banks to the real sector of the economy to stimulate economic recovery, the introduction of modern technologies, the creation of new high-tech industries and accelerate the circulation of working capital. The increase in banks' purchases of government securities reduces the potential for lending to the real sector of the economy and provokes an increase in interest rates on them. As a result, failure to meet the financing needs of the real sector is holding back the growth of production and the real sector of the economy. Problems of redistribution of bank capital in the direction of financing the real sector of the economy require a comprehensive analysis of the preconditions that affect the activities of credit institutions. Therefore, one of the key tasks of economic reform aimed at overcoming the crisis of the real sector of the economy is to find effective ways to redistribute bank capital, attract it to investment lending and develop new service banks that will promote economic growth during Ukraine's postwar reconstruction. The most active role in accelerating lending to the real sector of the economy should be played by the state, which uses regulatory tools to stimulate bank lending to the development of the real sector of the economy. In particular, the strategy for the development of Ukraine's banking system should be to improve the deposit insurance system, which will solve a number of related macroeconomic, social and political problems. The real sector of the economy provides the production of goods and services, their supply and sale in the domestic market, creates demand for goods and services for personal and industrial consumption. At the same time, great hopes are placed on the domestic banking sector, which should become a key link in ensuring the stable development of the real sector of the economy. It is necessary to find a balance between two markets, financial and real. This is a complex problem that is being addressed through effective public debt management and flexible monetary policy in the current macroeconomic environment.

It is investigated that the main task of asset audit is the collection and processing of reliable information about assets and the formation of audit opinions on this basis. It was found that in the process of organizing an audit, the internal audit of the company becomes important. It is noted that during the audit of assets an important role in the work of the auditor is played by the formation of working documents that the auditor uses in planning, preparing and conducting inspections, summarizing their data. The list of expenses for improvement of fixed assets for the basic enterprise is covered and outlined the directions of improving the accounting, analysis and audit of costs for the improvement of fixed assets.
GENESIS OF THE ECONOMIC ESSENCE OF PROFIT IN A MARKET ECONOMY
Authors:   National Aviation University, Nazarenko Iryna
Published: May 2022

It was found that the main purpose of business is profit, profit is the key enterprises. Consider scientific approaches to the definition of «profit». he study of scientific views and economic theories of profit shows the existence of three approaches: the definition of representatives of Western political economy, the definition in terms of political economy of socialism and the definition in terms of contemporaries, scientists of market economy. Profit as an economic category is a consequence of the development of the economic system in conjunction with the existence of commodity-money relations, the emergence and development of property institutions (private, public, collective). Also, profit should not be studied only as a stimulus for the organization of activities, but should be studied as a transitional or unifying component between the categories: «interest», «need» and «activity». In the process of scientific research it was established that the company's profit is the financial result of the enterprise, an absolute indicator that carries out production, commercial, research and other activities and characterizes the degree of success of this activity. Also, the profit of the enterprise is a special financial indicator in the sphere of activity of economic entities. Determined that profit is the base for its development, improving the performance of its activities, innovation in production, achieving the desired benefits of competition in both the domestic market and the markets of the world economic space. Modern business activities of economic entities are aimed at making a profit. It is the possibility of making a profit and its presence that motivates them to enter a certain field of activity, and in the absence of profit or even the threat of its absence - to leave a certain market segment. In the state, as an economic entity, it is at the expense of profit that budget resources are formed (in significant amounts), enterprises are expanded, material incentives for employees, socio-cultural events, etc. Are financed. Therefore, not only business owners, but also the state is interested in planning the formation of profits and areas of its use.

Local stability analysis on the predator-prey model with intraguild predation
Authors: McCluskey Camille
Published: May 2022

We consider the predator-prey system with a common consuming resource that was proposed by Holt and Polis in 1997 to introduce the the effects of intraguild predation in modelling community ecology. Some of the results suggest that strong intraguild predation can even foster the coexistence of species. In 2018, the spatiotemporal dynamics of the model proposed was further analyzed to illustrate the theoretical findings previously mentioned in 1997. In this thesis, we perform transformations to the system, in order  to study a simplified equivalent system. The number of parameters is re- duced without altering the biological meaning of the system or the dynamic  behaviour. The local stability of the model is studied at each of the two pos- itive boundary equilibria and at the positive interior equilibrium by finding  the intervals of the parameters involved. The behaviour of the system will depend on which intervals the parameters fall. The emphasis is put on the  ranges of the predation rate assuming, there is less that can be done to in- fluence the parameters representing the natural birth and death rates of the prey and predator. By using the qualitative theory for autonomous planar systems, we show under which conditions each positive boundary equilibria can be a saddle, saddle node, or stable, and the interior positive equilibrium  is locally asymptotically stable. Under certain conditions the positive in- terior equilibrium is a stable node. It is interesting to note that when the  consumption of the common resources are equal for the predator and prey species then we would be dealing with a symmetric system.
Quantum Scale Plasmonic Material for Biomedical Applications
Authors: Agarwal Ayushi
Published: May 2022

Here physically synthesized (non-chemically engineered) gold quantum particles were investigated to study the structural behavior of genomic DNA towards gold particles in the microcellular environment for sensing, diagnosis, and therapeutics nanomedicine application. The non-conformational changes in genomic DNA were witnessed for three different cell types: lung cancer cells (H69), pancreatic cancer cells (ASPC-1), and healthy fibroblast cells (NIH 3T3). By the intracellular chemical analysis of gold quantum particles, results show that the gold quantum particles remain in their native chemical state (Au (0)) after internalizing inside the nucleus, and do not undergo a redox reaction in the cellular environment which leads to the low affinity of gold ions towards the cellular components. The physically synthesized native gold quantum particles do not fluctuate the sodium concentration inside the nucleus which is known to impact the stability of the genomic DNA structure directly. In contrast to commonly used gold particles the ultrafast laser synthesized (physically engineered) quantum size native gold particles can be internalized inside the cells as well as the nucleus without causing any conformational changes in secondary genomic DNA structure. Additionally, label-free gold quantum particles were used for cancer sensing to provide the opportunity to attain the sensing of oncoprotein and nuclear components instantaneously. Since the gold quantum particles are non- toxic, no layering is required, enabling the study of the exact quantum effect in plasmonic cellular signaling. The naked gold quantum particles confirmed self-cellular uptake with even  iv  distribution and non-specific attachment to all the cellular components. The gold quantum particle size is found to be inversely related to the signal strength of the plasmonic readout. The gold quantum particles provide a holistic picture of cell states and may open up new possibilities for accurate SERS diagnosis of cancer. Adding to this the concept of small-sized self- functionalized pristine also introduced gold quantum particles for cancer theranostics. The pristine gold quantum particles demonstrated cancer-selective cell uptake enabling dosage- dependent fluorescent detection/differentiation of cancerous cells and cancer-selective cytotoxicity. The fabricated gold quantum particles demonstrated fluorophore-free fluorescence illuminance at a broad range of  excitation wavelengths and drug-free cancer-specific treatment. According to this study the as- fabricated gold quantum particles have dual functions of fluorescent diagnosis and treatment of  cancerous cells. Moreover the drug-free gold quantum particles may find advantages in fighting drug-resistant cancers. Here the current research opens a frontier for the future of gold-based nanomedicine and its application for sensing, diagnosis, and therapeutics in in vitro environment.

This paper analyzes the relations between Portugal and India from a geoeconomic perspective, in the context of the Portuguese presidency of the European Union. We argue that these relations can evolve into a win-win situation, for both countries, within the leading networks of globalization (economic, financial, commercial, or technological). We conclude that Portugal has a golden opportunity to create vital geoeconomic spaces in the XXI century, namely in the Indo-Pacific region, and reduce its dependence on European markets and financial flows.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to search relationship between using of hormonal contraception and breast cancer incidence. This study uses observational analytic method with case contol design. Group case is the women in POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo diagnosed as breast cancer patient. Group control is the women in POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo who are not diagnosed breast cancer. Then, calculate the Odds Ratio using 2x2 crosstabulation and p value using chi square statistictest with SPSS program. There are 96 women of case group sample and 96 women of control group sample are used in this study. Calculation of regression logistic multivariate analysis shows that there is significant relationship between using hormonal contraception and breast cancer incidence in POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo with p=0.001, OR=2.990, woman who uses hormonal contraception has 2.990 times risk bigger than the woman who doesnt use hormonal contraception. There is significant relationship between using hormonal contraception and breast cancer incidence inPOSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo and woman who uses hormonal contraception has 2,304 times risk bigger than the woman who doesnt.ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pemakaian KB hormonal dengan kejadian kanker payudara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis dengan desain kasus kontrol. Kelompok kasus adalah wanita di POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo yang menderita kanker payudara, dan kelompok kontrol adalah wanita di POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo yang tidak menderita kanker payudara. Kemudian Rasio Odds dihitung menggunakan tabel 2x2 dan nilai p menggunakan tes chi square dengan program SPSS. Ada 96 kelompok kasus dan 96 kelompok kontrol yang ada dalampenelitian ini. Setelah dihitung dengan analisis multivariat regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan bermakna antara penggunaan KB hormonal dengan kejadian kanker payudara pada wanita di POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo dengan nilai p= 0,001 dan OR=2,990 yang berarti wanita yang menggunakan KB hormonal memiliki risiko 2,990 kali lebih besar terkena kanker payudara dibanding yang tidak menggunakan. Kesimpulannya, ada hubungan bermakna antara pemakaian KB hormonal dengan kejadian kanker payudara pada wanita di POSA RSUD Dr. Soetomo dan wanita yang menggunakan KB hormonal memiliki risiko 2,990 kali lebih besar terkena kanker payudara dibanding yang tidak menggunakan.

ABSTRACTBasal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant type of skin cancer found in the world today with a 3-10% increase in incidence each year. In Indonesia, BCC is one of the major types of skin cancer found. Therefore a method needs to be developed that can detect BCC at the early stages to prevent late diagnosis of BCC which may lead to metastasis causing disabilities to patients and increasing treatment costs. Various studies have shown BerEP4 as an effective and efficient tool that can be used for early diagnosis and prevention of recurrence post-surgery. This study aims to evaluate the use of BerEP4 in detecting early BCC cells and its potential as a gold standard. The use of BerEP4 immunohistochemistry testing as a gold standard for the routine examination for cases of BCC is expected to be able to increase and improve early diagnosis as well as prevent recurrence postsurgery.ABSTRAKKarsinoma Sel Basal (KSB) merupakan jenis kanker kulit yang paling banyak ditemukan di dunia saat ini dan terjadi peningkatan 3-10% jumlah penderita KSB setiap tahun. Di Indonesia, KSB merupakan salah satu jenis kanker kulit yang utama. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan suatu metode yang dapat mendeteksi KSB pada stadium awal karena diagnosis yang terlambat dapat menyebabkan KSB bermetastasis sehingga menjadi sulit ditangani, meningkatkan risikopenderita menjadi cacat, dan memerlukan biaya pengobatan yang mahal. Berbagai penelitian telah menunjukkan bahwa BerEP4 merupakan cara yang efektif dan efisien untuk melakukandiagnosis dini dan pencegahan rekurensi pasca-operasi pengangkatan KSB. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai manfaat BerEP4 dalam mendeteksi sel KSB tahap dini. Diharapkan penggunaan uji imunohistokimia BerEP4 bisa menjadi gold standard pemeriksaan rutin pada kasus-kasus KSB sehingga mampu meningkatkan dan mempermudah diagnosis dini KSB serta mencegah terjadinya rekurensi pasca-operasi pengangkatan KSB.
