Published: January 2023

Stock opname merupakan kegiatan penghitungan fisik persediaan yang ada di gudang untuk kemudian dijual dan bertujuan untuk mengetahui jumlah rill atau nyata yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan, dengan dilaksanakannya kegiatan stock opname secara menyeluruh maka akan diperoleh laporan riil stok barang yang akan dijadikan bahan pertimbangan pengembangan selanjutnya. PT. XYZ adalah perusahaan yang bergerak sebagai distributor kartu perdana XL dan Axis. Sistem stock opname penjualan sales yang ada di PT. XYZ masih dilakukan secara konvensional yaitu sales akan menyerahkan surat jalan dan sisa barang yang tidak terjual beserta uang setoran penjualannya kepada admin pada sore harinya, selanjutnya admin akan mengecek surat jalan dan melakukan stock opname barang penjualan sales, kemudian hasil dari stock opname tersebut dicatat secara manual ke dalam surat jalan sesuai dengan data barang yang sudah dicek dan dihitung, jika proses stock opname sudah dilakukan maka admin baru akan mengeluarkan bukti setor fisik kepada Sales. Berdasarkan permasalahan di atas, maka diperlukan sebuah sistem informasi dalam melakukan kegiatan stock opname yang sudah terkomputerisasi, untuk mengatasi masalah yang terjadi. Metode penelitian yang dipakai adalah dengan melakukan observasi dan wawancara secara langsung kepada karyawan PT. XYZ. Sedangkan untuk metode pengembangan perangkat lunak yang digunakan adalah metode waterfall serta bahasa pemrograman yang digunakan dalam pembuatan websitenya sendiri adalah PHP, HTML, CSS, dan JQuery, serta untuk databasenya menggunakan MySQL. Hasil yang diharapkan dalam perancangan program stock opname berbasis web pada PT. XYZ, diharapkan dapat menciptakan efisiensi dan efektivitas dalam sistem perhitungan dan pencatatan stok barang penjualan sales.
Patogenicidade e caracterização dos sintomas causados por Streptomyces scabiei, Pratylenchus brachyurus e Meloidogyne incognita em tubérculos de batata
Authors:   , Lucon Emanuel Torres
Published: January 2023

A cultura da batata é de expressiva relevância econômica e social, com grande importância na dieta alimentar de muitos países devido às suas características nutricionais. No entanto, muitos fatores influenciam a qualidade dos tubérculos, entre eles pragas e doenças, como a sarna da batata causada por bactérias do gênero Streptomyces e fitonematoides dos gêneros Pratylenchus e Meloidogyne. Os sintomas causados por esses patógenos podem ser muito semelhantes, podendo resultar em um diagnóstico equivocado do agente causal e, consequentemente, medidas incorretas de manejo. A partir dessa informação, objetivou-se avaliar a ação isolada ou conjunta de S. scabiei, P. brachyurus e M. incognita, verificando se a ocorrência desses patógenos influencia a severidade dos sintomas, degradando tubérculos de batata. Foram realizados três experimentos em casa de vegetação, inoculando-se os fitopatógenos no início do ciclo da cultura, a qual foi conduzida até seu desenvolvimento completo para as avaliações dos tubérculos. A partir dos resultados, foi possível observar a influência do clima no desenvolvimento da batata e consequentemente na interação entre a cultura e os fitopatógenos. Constatou-se semelhança nos danos causados por esses fitopatógenos, o que pode levar a identificação e manejo equivocado destes agentes. Os resultados mostraram que a incidência de lesões causadas por S. scabiei foi em média superior a 12%, enquanto os sintomas causados por P. brachyurus e M. incognita variaram de 3 a 6%, indicando maior patogenicidade da bactéria, uma vez que essa atua desde a formação dos primeiros tubérculos e os nematoides precisam de maior período para penetração e multiplicação para causar danos mais acentuados.
Hepatotoxicity and tuberculosis treatment outcomes in chronic liver disease
Authors: Edwards Brett D , Mah Henry , Sabur Natasha F , Brode Sarah K
Published: January 2023

Background:

The treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is known to cause liver injury, however, there is limited data to guide optimal treatment for patients with chronic liver disease.

Methods:

We undertook a retrospective case series of patients with chronic liver disease and TB disease. The primary objective was to determine if there was a difference in the incidence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in patients with cirrhosis versus those with chronic hepatitis. Additionally, we sought to compare TB treatment outcomes, type and duration of therapy, and incidence of adverse events.

Results:

We included 56 patients (chronic hepatitis 40; cirrhosis 16). There were 33 patients (58.9%) who experienced DILI requiring treatment modification, with no significant difference between groups (65% versus 43.8%, p = 0.23). Patients with chronic hepatitis were more likely to receive treatment with standard first-line intensive phase therapy that included a combination of rifampin (RIF), isoniazid, and pyrazinamide (80.8% versus 19.2%, p = 0.03) and any regimen than included isoniazid (92.5% versus 68.8%, p = 0.04). The risk of DILI was higher when more hepatotoxic TB medications were used. Overall treatment success in this cohort was low (55.4%), with no significant difference between groups (62.5% versus 37.5%, p = 0.14). Most patients with treatment success (97%) were able to tolerate a rifamycin.

Conclusions:

The risk of DILI is high, especially with the use of isoniazid, in patients with TB and chronic liver disease. This risk can be effectively mitigated with no difference in treatment outcomes in the presence of cirrhosis.

Prediction of intracranial pressure crises after severe traumatic brain injury using machine learning algorithms
Authors: Petrov Dmitriy , Miranda Stephen P. , Balu Ramani , Wathen Connor , Vaz Alex , Mohan Vinodh , Colon Christian , Diaz-Arrastia Ramon
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

Avoiding intracranial hypertension after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a foundation of neurocritical care, to minimize secondary brain injury related to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). However, this approach at best is reactive to episodes of intracranial hypertension, allowing for periods of elevated ICP before therapies can be initiated. Accurate prediction of ICP crises before they occur would permit clinicians to implement preventive strategies, minimize total time with ICP above threshold, and potentially avoid secondary injury. The objective of this study was to develop an algorithm capable of predicting the onset of ICP crises with sufficient lead time to enable application of preventative therapies.

METHODS

Thirty-six patients admitted to a level I trauma center with severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale score < 8) between April 2015 and January 2019 who underwent continuous intraparenchymal ICP monitor placement were retrospectively identified. Continuous ICP data were extracted from each monitoring period (range 4–96 hours of monitoring). An ICP crisis was treated as a binary outcome, defined as ICP > 22 mm Hg for at least 75% of the data within a 5-minute interval. ICP data preceding each ICP crisis were grouped into four total data sets of 1- and 2-hour epochs, each with 10- to 20-minute lead-time intervals before an ICP crisis. Crisis and noncrisis events were identified from continuous time-series data and randomly split into 70% for training and 30% for testing, from a subset of 30 patients. Machine learning algorithms were trained to predict ICP crises, including light gradient boosting, extreme gradient boosting, and random forest. Accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were measured to compare performance. The most predictive algorithm was optimized using feature selection and hyperparameter tuning to avoid overfitting, and then tested on a validation subset of 5 patients. Precision, recall, F1 score, and accuracy were measured.

RESULTS

The random forest model demonstrated the highest accuracy (range 0.82–0.88) and AUC (range 0.86–0.88) across all four data sets. Further validation testing revealed high precision (0.76), relatively low recall (0.46), and overall strong predictive performance (F1 score 0.57, accuracy 0.86) for ICP crises. Decision curve analysis showed that the model provided net benefit at probability thresholds above 0.1 and below 0.9.

CONCLUSIONS

The presented model can provide accurate and timely forecasts of ICP crises in patients with severe TBI 10–20 minutes prior to their occurrence. If validated and implemented in clinical workflows, this algorithm can enable earlier intervention for ICP crises, more effective treatment of intracranial hypertension, and potentially improved outcomes following severe TBI.
Long-tunneled versus short-tunneled external ventricular drain: a quasi-experimental study in a cohort of pediatric patients
Authors: Saenz Amparo , Mengide Juan Pablo , Argañaraz Romina , Mantese Beatriz
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

The primary aim of this study was to compare external ventricular drain (EVD)–related infection rates and mechanical complications between long-tunneled EVDs (LTEVDs) with an interposed valve and short-tunneled EVDs (STEVDs) in a cohort of pediatric patients. The second objective was to compare hospital resources used for LTEVDs versus STEVDs in the same cohort of patients and the same study period.

METHODS

The study consisted of a quasi-experimental investigation comparing a prospective group of patients who received LTEVDs with a retrospective (historic) cohort of patients treated with STEVDs. The prospective nonrandomized quasi-experimental protocol of the LTEVD cohort included patients who needed an EVD for more than 3 days. Data were recorded prospectively as the patients were added to the study, until reaching the sample size established by the protocol. The comparison group of the STEVD cohort was retrospectively collected from patients’ records. Patients were included consecutively, from newest to oldest, starting with the last STEVD inserted at the authors’ hospital until reaching the sample size established in the protocol. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for both groups were the same.

RESULTS

One hundred thirty-four patients were included in this quasi-experimental study; there were 67 in each group. LTEVDs reduced the odds of having an EVD-related infection by 92% (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.01–0.39; p = 0.002). Compared to STEVDs, the LTEVDs reduced by 69% the odds of having a CSF leak (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.10–0.91; p = 0.03). Neither CSF blockage (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.01–1.08; p = 0.06) nor displacement (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.15–3.43; p = 0.69) showed a statistically significant difference between groups. More resources were allocated to STEVDs than to LTEVDs in most areas considered in this study.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared to STEVDs, LTEVDs are a cost-effective and safe method to reduce EVD-related infection rates and other complications in pediatric patients. The authors believe that reducing the infection rate and complications and giving the patient more independence outweighs the additional costs that this new technique may entail.

Culture is the intellectual, spiritual, and aesthetic development of a group of people. Indonesia has a very rich cultural diversity, one of which is folklore. Folklore is a story of the past that describes the cultural characteristics of a nation. However, the current development, the dissemination, delivery, and storage of Indonesian folklore is fading and decreasing. In fact, every knowledge in folklore has benefits that have a positive impact, especially in the dissemination or sharing of Indonesian moral values and cultural norms. In the midst of the development of information technology today, the condition of the folklore makes the role of the application to help in contributing to improve the situation that occurs from Indonesian folklore. The problem that has occurred until now is the limited application of collaborative media in the process of delivering, disseminating, and storing existing knowledge, resulting in the process of sharing knowledge being hampered. To solve these problems, in this study a Knowledge Management System (KMS) was created. This KMS was developed with web-based Web 2.0 technology. This KMS was also developed with a feature that can provide traffic information that is useful for showing information from each user activity. With this KMS, the knowledge sharing process runs effectively and the knowledge shared by each user is more collaborative and provides the development of new knowledge.

ABSTRACTImmunomodulatory is a drug or a substance that can modulate the activity and function of the immune system. If you take drugs that are immunomodulators, they can improve the work of the immune system in the human body, so that they are not easily attacked by infectious diseases. In general, the use of immunomodulatory drugs is in the form of synthetic or chemical drugs. However, it can cause side effects if used in the long term, such as indigestion, headache, fever, skin rash, constipation, and increase uric acid levels. Therefore, one of the solutions is by applying medicinal plants like was done by people in Leihitu District, Maluku Tengah. However, the existence of the plants has not recorded yet. Therefore, it needs a further action to inform larger people. The method of the research was through exploration by doing some techniques, such as, survey, interview to the chief of the village and people who knowing medical plants, and documentation as well as identification by using some relevant references. The results presents there are 46 plant species and belonging to 27 families, medicinal plants with immunomodulatory potential. Plant parts used as immunomodulatory herbal medicines are roots, stems, leaves, fruits, seeds, rhizomes, and tubers.

Physics teaching and learning theoretically may not achieve its full objectives without the integration of laboratory activities. The study measures post-basic school students’ knowledge of identification and use of physics laboratory apparatus so as to ascertain their readiness for external examinations. The method adopted was descriptive survey of cross sectional type of research that enables data collection through measurement tool. One hundred and forty-three physics students’ check-lists were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency count and simple percentage). The findings of this study revealed that out of the commonly identified physics laboratory apparatus, students high strength was recorded in identifying the apparatus like retort stand, weight/mass, meter rule, pendulum bob, knife edge, optical pin, glass prism and test tube. The students show high strength in stating correct use of the apparatus like meter rule, stop watch, beaker, ammeter and voltmeter. It is recommended that pasting and displaying the apparatus pictures, name of the apparatus, its uses/functions beside it in the physics laboratory wall and early exposure of the students to laboratory activities will help the students in apparatus identification and prepare them for external examinations.

The performance of mutton is influenced by quality feed, easy to obtain, and does not compete with humans. Water hyacinth has a fairly high content of protein, fiber, fat, and energy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the use of water hyacinth-based forage rations on the performance of sorghum. The study was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD). A total of 80 male mutton were placed in 20 cage plots, so that each cage plot consisted of 4 birds. The types of treatment used were P0 (100% rice bran) as control, P1 (75% rice bran + 25% water hyacinth), P2 (50% rice bran + 50% water hyacinth), P3 (25% rice bran + 75% water hyacinth). The variables observed were ration consumption, body weight gain, ration conversion, feed cost per gain, and mortality. The research data were analyzed using analysis of variance and if they showed significant differences, they were further tested using Duncan's multiple distance test. The results showed that the ration consumption, body weight gain, ration conversion, and feed cost per gain with the addition of water hyacinth in the ration statistically showed a significant difference while the mortality calculated descriptively did not show any difference. Mortality occurred in treatment P3 (25% rice bran + 75% water hyacinth). It can be concluded that in order to improve the performance of male gibbons, the provision of forage water hyacinth in the ration should not be more than 50%.

ABSTRAK

Edible offal adalah sisa karkas yang masih layak dikonsumsi, seperti jantung, hati, ampela dan usus. Sebagian masyarakat mengkonsumsi bagian edible offal ini salah satu solusi cara untuk menikmati bagian dari tubuh entog yang relatif murah dibandingkan dengan dagingnya, sehingga edible offal banyak diminati dan dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui berapa berat edible offal yang baik dan layak konsumsi dan tingkatan pemberian pakan eceng gondok yang terbaik untuk entog jantan. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimen dengan menggunakan desain Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Sebanyak 80 ekor entog jantan ditempatkan pada 20 petak kandang, sehingga setiap petak kandangnya terdiri atas 4 ekor. Jenis perlakuan yang digunakan yaitu P0 (100% dedak padi) sebagai kontrol, P1 (75% dedak padi + 25% eceng gondok), P2 (50% dedak padi + 50% eceng gondok), P3 (25% dedak padi + 75% eceng gondok). Variabel yang diamati yaitu berat jantung, hati, ampela, usus untuk panjang organ pencernaan yaitu tembolok, proventrikulus, duodenum, jejulum, ilium, usus besar dan kloaka.

Published: January 2023

Since its inception, research on design methods has encompassed a number of objectives and fields. In this fragmentary and evolving landscape, a reflection was apparently needed on the chance to provide a general framework and understand the progress (if any) towards a unified and domain-independent design theory and methodology. The issue was discussed by the authors, among the others, during a workshop organized by the Society of Design and Process Science. The paper reports the most important points that emerged in the debate, which was kicked off by panellists’ talks providing different perspectives on domain-independent design and the adoption of design methods by industry and practitioners. The discussion highlighted the relevance of design education, individual factors, as well as the role of designers in nowadays’ changing world. A major take-away from the workshop is the forecast that, in the foreseeable future, a shared design knowledge will be developed, but this will be juxtaposed by peculiar and bespoke design practices.
