Published: August 2024

Introducción. La estimulación del ganglio de la raíz dorsal (DRG, por sus siglas en inglés) es una opción de tratamiento eficaz para el síndrome de dolor regional complejo de las extremidades inferiores y otras afecciones de dolor focal. Sin embargo, no se han definido las características de los pacientes que pueden predecir los resultados a largo plazo.Materiales y métodos. Se trata de un estudio observacional retrospectivo que incluyó a 93 pacientes a los que se les implantó un estimulador de GRD en una sola institución de práctica privada. Se recopilaron diversos datos demográficos. Los resultados del seguimiento se revisaron desde múltiples puntos temporales durante más de 12 meses. Los pacientes se clasificaron como "respondedores" o "no respondedores" utilizando dos umbrales diferentes, "mayor o igual al 50% de alivio del dolor" y "mayor o igual al 80% de alivio del dolor".Resultados. Los antecedentes de consumo crónico previo de opioides se asociaron con tasas significativamente más bajas de respuesta en función de un umbral de alivio del dolor del 50% y un umbral de alivio del dolor del 80% en las visitas de una semana a un mes, tres meses y 12 meses.Conclusiones. Este estudio retrospectivo de un solo centro encontró que los pacientes a los que se les recetaron opioides crónicos en el momento de la implantación del estimulador DRG tenían una mayor probabilidad de menos del 50% de alivio del dolor y del 80% de alivio del dolor en las visitas de seguimiento de un mes, tres meses y 12 meses.

Authors: Nkwetenang Conelius Ngwolefack N , Forgha Godfrey , Oumar Saidou Baba
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the drivers of farm investment amidst climate variability in Cameroon.
Methodology: The researchers employed the IV Two Step Tobit and Fractional regression models on time series data spanning from 1990 to 2022 to examine the impacts of temperature, precipitation, human capital, life expectancy, population growth rate, and trade openness on farm investment.
Findings: The findings indicate that while temperature has a positive but insignificant effect, precipitation has a negative and significant impact on farm investment. Additionally, human capital and life expectancy in the current year have positive and significant effects on farm investment, while population growth rate and trade openness show negative impacts.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The unique contribution of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted drivers of agricultural investment in the context of climate variability in Cameroon. To promote sustainable agricultural investment, the study recommends policies that focus on building human capital through improved education and training for farmers, enhancing access to credit and financial services for the agricultural sector, managing the impact of climate variability, particularly excessive rainfall, through the development of irrigation infrastructure and the promotion of climate smart agricultural practices, and implementing strategies aimed at increasing life expectancy and overall economic development to indirectly support agricultural investment in the long run.

A (in)disciplina no contexto escolar
Authors: Montrucchio Marisa , Wanzeler Géssyca Karoline Cardoso , Lopes Jorge Domingues
Published: August 2024

A (in)disciplina no contexto escolar é abordada como uma problemática com raízes fincadas na cultura contemporânea. Longe de considerá-la um problema somente da instituição escolar, o objetivo do presente artigo é analisa-la na relação dialética com seu outro par, a disciplina, estabelecendo relações entre ambas e com os envolvidos no processo educativo: legislação, escola, alunos, funcionários, professores e família. Através da interpretação dos textos teóricos mais pertinentes sobre o tema, são tecidas reflexões que contribuem para repensar o papel dos atores que integram o ato educativo, concluindo-se, dentre outras percepções, que: ainda circula de forma consistente na sociedade brasileira, incluindo nela os espaços escolares, uma concepção tradicional do papel que ocupa cada um dos integrantes do processo educativo, apesar das mudanças acontecidas nas últimas décadas, fator que impacta negativamente no desenvolvimento da disciplina, favorecendo a indisciplina. A disciplina não é apenas um conteúdo curricular, mas uma construção coletiva, mediada pelo diálogo e necessária para que os alunos atinjam seus objetivos de ensino/aprendizagem. A indisciplina escolar é um comportamento decorrente das necessidades que os estudantes têm e que não são compreendidas nem satisfeitas. O contrato pedagógico entre professor e alunos é uma estratégia necessária e capaz de reverter a situação indisciplinar. A legislação brasileira não define nem promove estratégias para o desenvolvimento da disciplina escolar, dificultando ainda mais as questões disciplinares.
A caça às bruxas do século XX
Authors: Silva Eliane
Published: August 2024

O romance de não ficção Garotas Mortas (2018), de Selva Almada, retrata a história real de três jovens assassinadas na Argentina dos anos 80, casos ainda não resolvidos. O presente ensaio propõe uma análise das reflexões da autora ao reconstruir essas histórias, destacando o papel dos supostos agressores na herança patriarcal de dominação masculina. A obra demonstra como o poder de decidir sobre a vida das mulheres, especialmente as pobres e não brancas, não é mera coincidência, mas resultado de construções históricas dentro de uma lógica capitalista colonial e misógina. A análise aqui proposta tem como objetivo refletir brevemente sobre a obra literaria Garotas Mortas (2018), relacionando-a às questões das relações sociais de gênero, a fim de destacar as significativas contribuições da obra para o feminismo contemporâneo, especialmente no enfrentamento à cultura do estupro e do feminicídio. A metodologia de pesquisa envolve analisar as reflexões da autora sobre as condições das garotas assassinadas, comparando-as com teorias de gênero para explicar o processo violento que as mulheres são submetidas até se tornarem vítimas de feminicídio. Ao embasar a análise da obra nos textos de Maria Lugones (2020), Silvia Federici (2017) e Maria Clementina Cunha (1989), observa-se que a violência contra a mulher se perpetua como uma herança histórica do poder patriarcal e colonial. Como resultado, a pesquisa destaca a importância de confrontar essas questões para promover processos de conscientização e transformação social, visando contribuir para o enfrentamento às diversas violências desferidas contra as mulheres.

Objetivo: Establecer la morbimortalidad postoperatoria de la gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica y el bypass gástrico laparoscópico en Y de Roux. Método: estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo, longitudinal. La muestra estuvo conformada por pacientes sometidos a gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica y bypass gástrico laparoscópico en la unidad de Cirugía Bariátrica del Hospital Universitario de Caracas, Venezuela, con seguimiento posterior de los mismos por parte de esta unidad. Resultados: La muestra estuvo conformada por 153 pacientes, de los cuales el 85,6 % (131) fueron sometidos a bypass gástrico laparoscópico y 14,4 % (22) a gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica. El 17,6 % eran del sexo masculino, 82,4 % del sexo femenino; el peso, talla, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y tiempo quirúrgico promedios fueron 126,9 kg, 1,6 m, 47,1 kg/m2 y 131,7 minutos, para bypass gástrico respectivamente, al comparar con el grupo de pacientes sometidos a gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en peso e IMC (p<0,001). La comorbilidad más frecuente fue la hipertensión arterial (29,4 %), seguida de la resistencia a la insulina (27,5 %). No se encontraron complicaciones médicas en la serie de pacientes estudiados. Dos pacientes con bypass gástrico tuvieron fuga de la gastroyeyunoanastomosis, sin diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p = 0,83). No hubo mortalidad postoperatoria en ningún grupo. Conclusión: El bypass gástrico y la gastrectomía en manga son procedimientos seguros, siendo la gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica el procedimiento con menor tendencia a presentar complicaciones postoperatorias.

Reconsiderando “Brasil y ‘América Latina’”.
Authors: Preuss Ori
Published: August 2024

Este artículo revisa la influyente interpretación de Leslie Bethell sobre la no pertenencia de Brasil a América Latina durante el primer siglo posterior a la independencia. Al implementar una metodología informada por las historias conectadas y el giro espacial, destaca la importancia de las prácticas transnacionales dentro de la región, sobre todo la prensa escrita y los viajes. El argumento resultante es radical: Brasil no era menos parte de América Latina –entendida aquí como un espacio concreto de interacción y una identidad– que cualquier otro país hispanoamericano. Además, Brasil desempeñó un papel fundamental en su creación como región.
El diario de una “compañera de viaje”
Authors: Urías Horcasitas Beatriz
Published: August 2024

A partir de 1970, una parte significativa de la nueva izquierda intelectual cuestionó el alineamiento del régimen cubano con la URSS, así como los límites impuestos a la libertad de expresión, y se alejaron de la causa cubana. La deserción de intelectuales de diferentes países coincidió con la invitación oficial que el gobierno dirigió a la arqueóloga francoitaliana Laurette Séjourné para realizar una visita a mediados de 1970. Muy rápidamente, Séjourné se convirtió en una “compañera de viaje” e inició una colaboración estrecha con Casa de las Américas y la Federación de Mujeres Cubanas. Este artículo está basado en el diario de este viaje de Séjourné a Cuba. El diario muestra que el proceso de radicalización que atravesó tuvo un sentido de transformación personal, en el cual subyace una veta espiritualista –de tipo esotérico– que también estuvo presente en su trabajo como arqueóloga en México. El componente espiritualista jugó un papel determinante en la adhesión de Séjourné a la causa cubana, en la medida en que se entrelazó y fue compatible con la retórica redentorista utilizada por el régimen.
La educación de la mirada artística a través del cuerpo. Un ensayo visual neo-materialista
Authors: Méndez Suárez María , Arias-Camisón Coello Alicia
Published: August 2024

Este informe de investigación se aproxima a la mirada artística desde un enfoque estético, donde el cuerpo se muestra como núcleo indagador, distorsionado y quebrado, para crear nuevos aprendizajes vinculados a la construcción de ideas visuales y sensibles alternativas. Los aparatos tales como escáneres e impresoras han sido los instrumentos tecnológicos con los que se ha trabajado la técnica de esta indagación artística, rompiendo el mensaje lineal habitual para convertirlo en un recorrido visual diferente, donde el camino lo marca el lector. Se aborda la relación del cuerpo con lo tecnológico, sus uniones e influjos, pretendiendo construir ideas visuales sobre lo corporal mediante la relación de imágenes fragmentadas.

Published: August 2024

Neste trabalho, pretendemos identificar os processos de raciocínio matemático mobilizados por estudantes de Engenharia de uma Universidade Pública do Paraná ao resolverem uma tarefa matemática e compreender o modo como tais processos contribuem para a elaboração de algumas das camadas de conhecimentos associadas às Integrais de Riemann. Para tal, consideramos dados coletados no trabalho com uma tarefa exploratória envolvendo Somas de Riemann. Este trabalho se desenvolve em uma perspectiva qualitativa, de cunho interpretativo. Acerca dos processos de raciocínio matemático mobilizados, os estudantes buscaram por conjecturas, que em alguns momentos foram refutadas, tendo assim a necessidade de buscar novas conjecturas e justificativas. Posteriormente, os estudantes formularam uma generalização para a conjectura já justificada. Tais processos ativaram elementos de duas camadas essenciais para compreender a estrutura da Integral de Riemman, a constar, a Camada do Produto e Camada da Soma.
Aproximando pedagogia libertadora, educação CTSA crítica e ensino por QSC para ações sociopolíticas e socioambientais
Authors: Melo Pedro Nascimento , Melissa Conrado Dalia , Nunes-Neto Nei
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo buscou mostrar como linhas de educação científica que utilizam a perspectiva Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade-Ambiente (CTSA) e a abordagem de questões sociocientíficas (QSC) se aproximam teórica e metodologicamente à proposta de educação libertadora e problematizadora de Paulo Freire. Buscou-se compreender essas aproximações, tendo como referência, para análise e discussões, os conceitos freirianos de ontologia humana, problematização e práxis autêntica. Percebeu-se que as linhas analisadas incorporam uma concepção ontológica do ser humano compatível com a ontologia humana adotada por Freire, e tomam a realidade como ponto de partida para a ação educativa, tendo o desenvolvimento ético-moral e emocional dos/das educandos/educandas como um dos princípios fundadores de sua formação crítica. Além disso, tomam a problematização como meio de análise e investigação da realidade, incorporando, de alguma forma, o princípio da reflexão-ação (práxis autêntica). Portanto, as aproximações aqui discutidas possibilitam uma abordagem integrada para currículos de educação científica fundamentados na educação crítica.
Uma leitura da epistemologia de Ludwik Fleck: possíveis aproximações com o marxismo
Authors: Rosa Marllon Moreti de Souza , Andrade Mariana Aparecida Bologna Soares de
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho, de caráter teórico, tem como objetivo buscar por aproximações entre o marxismo e a epistemologia de Ludwik Fleck, identificando pontos de convergências e divergências entre eles. Após nos debruçarmos sobre as obras marxianas-engelianas e sobre a monografia de Fleck, percebemos que ambas as perspectivas apresentam uma visão triádica e totalizante do mundo, dando grande importância à linguagem para a compreensão do movimento da realidade. A perspectiva marxista manifesta grandes contribuições para se pensar a Ciência a partir da epistemologia fleckiana, uma vez que a Ciência pode ser percebida como refletora das relações materiais de produção e reprodução da existência. Assim, identificamos, também, divergências epistemológicas importantes, principalmente em relação ao “relativismo fraco” presente na concepção de realidade de Fleck e a materialidade objetiva do pensamento marxista. Isso não significa, contudo, que são pensadores excludentes; por isso defendemos a utilização das categorias fleckianas para análise da ciência a partir de uma chave de leitura marxista.
Educação em tempos neoliberais: problematizando os discursos docentes sobre o “fazer diferente”
Authors: Lauxen Neto Guilherme Franklin , Duarte Claudia Glavam
Published: August 2024

Este artigo problematiza as enunciações de docentes de matemática sobre a constante necessidade de fazer algo diferente no exercício da docência. Dedicamo-nos a responder à indagação: Que discursos contemporâneos sustentam o movimento do docente de matemática que busca sempre fazer algo diferente no exercício da docência? Assim, foram realizadas entrevistas com professores de matemática em escolas de Novo Hamburgo, região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. A análise dos resultados foi feita utilizando a perspectiva foucaultiana de análise de discurso. Observamos que esses discursos estão associados a uma lógica neoliberal e que o conceito de "fazer diferente" muitas vezes se confunde com inovação. Também observamos que esses discursos podem ser compreendidos como disruptivos, pois rompem com abordagens de ensino já consolidadas. Essa busca por inovação pode estar relacionada à motivação dos estudantes e à automotivação dos docentes. Percebemos também que a busca pelo fazer diferente, pela busca de motivação e automotivação pode ser cansativa.

Published: August 2024

Este artigo visa a apresentar um estudo cujo objetivo está em pesquisar as dimensões didático-pedagógicas contidas na formação de estudantes do Ensino Fundamental do Município de Duque de Caxias/RJ. Isso se correlaciona à construção de um Guia Didático de Educação Financeira Sustentável, composto de estratégias que associam a administração dos recursos materiais e naturais a processos sustentáveis. A Revisão Sistemática de Literatura apontou para a escassez de pesquisas para esse público, justificando, dessa forma, o público-alvo. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa fundamentou-se na Teoria das Situações Didáticas (Brousseau, 1996;2008) e na Engenharia Didática (Artigue, 1996), contribuindo para a formação de um cidadão consciente em relação ao consumo e ao ambiente. A pesquisa indicou que os alunos possuem lacunas em relação aos temas, mas que, se trabalhados em sala, alcançam os objetivos propostos, desenvolvendo competências para sua utilização em situações do cotidiano. Como resultado, o estudo colaborou para a criação de recursos didático-pedagógicos e estratégias voltadas para a formação humana e consciente, pautada na emancipação em relação ao adequado uso dos recursos financeiros e naturais.
Real-time Facial Palsy with Age and Gender Detection
Authors: Saber Ali , Mujtaba H. Ali  , Hayder Ajmi Beshet
Published: August 2024

Facial palsy (FP) is a disease that affects the facial nerves, leading to deviation of the face towards the opposite direction of the injury, with an inability to control facial movements. Diagnosis is typically based on the clinician's judgment, considering the patient's age, gender, and treatment type. However, this method is prone to errors due to doctors' exposure to fatigue and other problems. Therefore, the use of computer vision (CV) systems to automatically detect FP has become crucial. Deep learning is a promising candidate for accurate and cost-effective FP detection. In this context, this work proposes a real-time system that uses a deep learning (DL) algorithm to detect FP, age, and gender. The proposed system could be used by patients at home or as a diagnostic tool for doctors. The proposed system achieves an accuracy of 98% by using datasets containing 19,239 normal images, 834 left palsy images, and 801 right palsy images.

Diagnosing diseases in their early stages allows people to see a specialist doctor before the disease reaches advanced stages and avoid any future complications. The use of a real-time imaging system to reliably give various information about the patient's condition, including gender classification, pterygium, and Bell's paralysis, contributes to reducing the duration of diagnosis and human errors. This study focuses on the use of three artificial intelligence algorithms based on deep learning, namely Visual Geometry Group (VGG16), Vision Transformer (ViT), and Xception, and evaluates their performance in detecting gender, pterygium, and Bell's paralysis. VIT has the highest overall performance results from the rest of the algorithms.

Tri Sedyo Manunggal Farmers Group, Pandan Hamlet, Wukirsari Village, Cangkringan Sleman District, Yogyakarta faces challenges in monitoring the quality of rice crops, using pesticides to eradicate pests, and depending on electricity from PLN and fuel to operate UV lamps. Therefore, to overcome this problem, the activity implementation team developed a smart farming tool that can monitor pH, leaf color and pest volume. Pest traps use ultraviolet (UV) lights with relays as automatic switches. The entire system is powered by solar energy, creating an environmentally friendly solution with no electricity costs from PLN. Integration with IoT enables remote control and monitoring. Implementation of activities was carried out through socialization of smart farming tools, as well as training in use, installation and maintenance of the tools. From the results of the implementation of activities, it can be seen that this tool operates effectively with a high level of accuracy, and provides important information, such as the need for urea fertilizer, the amount of lime for acidic soil, and sulfur to treat alkaline soil, in order to achieve the ideal pH. In addition, this tool is effective in catching pests without pesticides, including planthoppers, grasshoppers and grasshoppers. So, farmers make the right and efficient decisions, increase crop yields and manage time. This initiative is an important step towards sustainable and technology-based agriculture.

Tunas Makmur Farmers Group I of Ibru Village, Mestong District, Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi Province has not yet made optimal use of a large amount of agricultural, plantation and industrial waste, due to farmers' lack of knowledge about biochar and its use to improve soil productivity. For this reason, the implementing team offers an easy, cheap and sustainable solution to manage and utilize abundant sources that can be used as a source of biochar. The objectives of implementing this community service activity can be achieved through: 1) counseling and training about the benefits of biochar to improve the physical and chemical properties of soil, 2) demonstration of making biochar from agricultural, plantation and industrial waste using drum pyrolysis, 3) assistance in calculating the dose given and application in the field through demonstrations on partner land on how to use biochars properly. Partners in this activity earn their main income from being food crop and plantation farmers. Agricultural, plantation and industrial waste is usually piled up on land and wasted because farmers do not yet have knowledge about the benefits of this waste. After conducting socialization and education through counseling and demonstrations about making biochar from agricultural and industrial waste, farmers have the motivation to use this waste as a source of soil carbon and as a soil conditioner.

Effect of Corporate Governance Mechanisms on Financial Performance of Pension Fund Administrators in Nigeria 2014 To 2022
Authors: Samuel EWURU, Ogechi. , John NWOYE, Ugochukwu.
Published: August 2024

Poor corporate governance weakens financial performance of companies eroding the value of shareholder’s equity. This prompted the quest to find out governance attributes that impact financial performance. The study investigated the effect of Board Size, Percentage of Executive Directors, Percentage of Female Directors, Customer/Branch ratio, and Number of Independent Directors on the Financial Performance of Pension Fund Administrators. Two control variables, the Number of RSAs and Funds under management were introduced so that confounding and other extraneous variables that can impact the regression result are checked. The study sample is 18 from the 19 existing Pension Fund Administrators as of December 2022. A secondary data source was extracted from the National Pension Commission’s annual report and individual PFA’s financial statements. The years covered spanned from 2014 to 2022. A multivariate regression model was used for analysis and findings revealed that Board Size and Number of Independent Directors were significant with p-values of 0.0102 and 0.0281 respectively. While Board Size had a positive impact on ROA that measured Financial Performance, having shown a positive coefficient. The effect of Independent Directors was negative. Based on this finding the study recommends that board size should be made adequate relative to the size of FUM to allow for a good span of control. Also, beyond size, the quality and experience of these Board members should be emphasized for maximum output and the concept of Independent Directors should be reviewed for effectiveness.
Nexus Between Land Surface Temperature and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in the Bole District in Ghana
Authors: Asare Abigail , Boye Cynthia B. , Baffoe Peter E.
Published: August 2024

Land surface temperature (LST) is the skin temperature of the ground which influences interactions between land surface and atmosphere through processes that play a key role in climate change at the local and global scales. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is most commonly used vegetation index to observe greenery globally. Accurate understanding of LST and NDVI at the local and regional levels is helpful to evaluate land surface and atmospheric exchange processes. This study analyzes the relationship between LST and NDVI in the Bole District in the Savannah region of Ghana using Landsat 7 ETM+ images for 2010 and 2020. ArcGIS software was used to process, classified the images using Maximum likelihood classifier, and to produce Land use land cover change (LULC) maps. Bands 3 and 4 were used determined NDVI, as well as the land surface emissivity. LST was determined from band 6 by converting the Digital Numbers to Top of Atmosphere radiance and then to reflectance in order to correct for satellite brightness with land surface emissivity as input. The results show that NDVI values vary with seasons, with less vegetation in the dry season and moderate vegetation in the wet season. From the LULC, LST and NDVI maps, areas with lower LST and higher NDVI values had more vegetation, while areas with medium and high LST and lower NDVI values were barren land or settlements. A strong positive correlation was found between NDVI and LST, except for the 2020 image, which had a weak correlation with LST. More vegetation was recorded in 2020 compared to 2010, possibly due to the government’s tree planting campaign. Further research on LST and NDVI is recommended for the district to ascertain the findings of this study and to aid future environmental planning and to promote ecological comfort for sustainable development.
The Use of Wayang for Sociology Learning in Conflict and Integration Materials
Authors: Prihanto  , Octaviani Saly Kurnia
Published: August 2024

Conflict and integration materials are part of sociology topics that relatively abstract and not attractive leading to low motivation for students to learn. Material in sociology will be easily conveyed by teachers and accepted by students when using media. Learning conflict and integration material raises many issues in stories in society. Wayang is a traditional performance that tells a lot about real conditions in society and functions as not only learning medium in sociology, especially material on conflict and integration but also preserving culture of wayang for generation Z.
This research aims to provide references for teachers in using learning media. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method that focuses on the natural conditions of the experiment or data sources so that researchers obtain valid and in-depth information that is appropriate to the conditions of the research field. The main data for this research were obtained from participant observation of the teaching and learning process in the classroom.
There are 3 results of this research. Firstly, learning the sociology of conflict and integration material using Wayang becomes more enjoyable and easier to understand for Al-Firdaus High School students. Secondly, the implementation of learning using Wayang related to reality in society through wayang stories and its plots motivated Al Firdaus High School students to study. Thirdly, the use of wayang as a sociology lesson provides a new reference in the learning process which is increasingly varied to be used as a learning medium and can be applied in other subjects.
Simple Additive Weight Method in Determining Promotion Target for New Student Admission at STMIK Sinar Nusantara
Authors: Dziky Ridhwanullah  , Hartanto Budi , Raharja Bayu Dwi
Published: August 2024

Each university will hold PMB (New Student Admission) activities. Similar to STMIK Sinar Nusantara, which is one of private universities in Surakarta, these events are held annually to draw in individuals who wish to pursue higher education. This is a very significant activity for a private university, with a new improvement target each year. At a private university, the number of new students is crucial because it is the primary source of funding. Activities of New Student Admission (PMB) at STMIK Sinar Nusantara have shown a decreasing tendency for a number of years. Institutional development and instructional activities will be impacted by this. One of the reasons is the widespread adoption of promotional targets that lack a scholarly foundation. Therefore, a decision support system is required to solve this issue. This study aims to assist policy makers in selecting appropriate promotion targets. The technique in this research is Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). The school promotion targets derived from the school ranking order and cluster classification are the outcomes of this study. With a score of 0.96, SMKN 1 Bulukerto School got the highest preference computation score. SAW method-based decision support system has been successful in identifying the appropriate promotional targets. The results of this research can be used by policy makers organizing activities of new student admission in promoting STMIK Sinar Nusantara to increase the number of new students.
