Infantile Hydrocephalus: Health-Related Quality of Life Outcome following Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
Authors: Eloqayli Haytham , Alyousef Ali
Published: April 2019

Aims:

To investigate the impact of Ventriculo-Peritoneal Shunt (VPS) on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of children with the infantile hydrocephalus who underwent their first shunt insertion in the first year of life. To compare the outcome of health domains according to sex, follow-up period, etiology and shunt valve type (fixed versus programmable pressure).

Methods:

102 children ≤1 years old at the time of new-onset hydrocephalus and shunt insertion. Age-appropriate PedsQL 4.0 versions were completed by the parents or caregivers with the assistance of single neurosurgery resident. Patients were divided into subgroups according to etiology; neural tube defect associated hydrocephalus (NTD-H), intra-ventricular hemorrhage associated with infantile hydrocephalus (IVH-H) and according to the shunt valve type; fixed versus programmable. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, IBM version 20. PedsQL 4.0 was presented using mean and standard deviations.

Results:

A decreasing social domain score at 1-3 years follow up (n=61) compared to 1 year follow up (n=41) was observed. The two groups did not differ significantly in sex distribution. The mean cognitive score was significantly lower in patients with IVH-H of prematurity compared to NTD-H. Better physical and cognitive domains in programmable shunts were compared to fixed pressure type.

Conclusion:

IVH-H associated with worse cognitive function possibly due to associated brain damage was reported. With long-term follow-up, social function decline probably due to the patients’ awareness of their disability was observed. Programmable shunt valve is recommended over fixed type due to the improvement in physical and cognitive functions. Sex of the patients did not affect the outcome.

Authors: Riwun - , Yadnyawati Ida Ayu Gde , Yasa I Wayan Suka
Published: April 2019

The result of the study covers all three aspects. First, the causes of the Nyorat ceremony are held after thirty days of dead body to be lied down in the funeral house: (1) The belief factor of the spirit of the deceased person, (2) the fear factor for the unfortunate (3) religious social factor, (4) the economic factor of the Kaharingan Hindu adherents , and (5) the factor of affection towards the ancestral spirit of the late. The last factor is based on the assumptions, namely (1) preparing the Nyorat ceremonial facilities and infrastructure, (2) it is not to lose the meaning that can be inherent in it, (3) to purify/cleanse the spirit of the dead so that the sacred and inner and family will get happiness back. The implications of the Nyorat ceremony are (1) the religious implications relating to the belief of the Hindu Kaharingan adherents from generation to generation, that if they are not implemented, they will lose the meaning of the Nyorat ceremonial purposes, (2) the psychological implications require cooperation, (3) the social implications culture is the act of intervening to support the course of the ceremony, and (4) the economic implications of the community strongly support the course of the ceremony. Based on the results of the analysis, it is obtained three things. The first is the reasons of the Hindu adherents to conduct the Nyorat ceremony, the second is processes of implementation of the Nyorat ceremony, the three religious, psychological, and social implications, and the community’s economy towards the Hindu Kaharingan religious system are acceptable to the local community.
Real-Time Detection of Behavioural Anomalies for Older People, the 3-PEGASE Study: Methods of an Artificial Intelligence Real-life Prospective Trial. (Preprint)
Authors: Piau Antoine , Lepage Benoit , Bernon Carole , Gleyzes Marie-Pierre , Nourhashemi Fati
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Most frail older persons are living at home and we face difficulties in achieving seamless monitoring to detect adverse health changes. Even more important, this lack of follow-up could have a negative impact on the living choices made by older individuals and their care partners. People could give up their homes for the more reassuring environment of a medicalized living facility. We have developed a low-cost non-obtrusive sensor-based solution to trigger automatic alerts in case of an acute event or subtle changes over time. It could facilitate the follow-up of older adults in their own homes, and thus support independent living.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of our prospective open-label study is to evaluate the relevance of the automatic alerts generated by our artificial intelligence-driven monitoring solution as judged by the recipients: older adult, caregiver, and professional support worker. The secondary objective is to evaluate its ability to detect subtle functional and cognitive decline and major medical events.

METHODS

The primary outcome assessment will be performed for each successive 2-month follow-up period to estimate the progression of our learning algorithm performances over time. Twenty-five frail or disabled participants aged 75 and above and living alone in their own homes, will be enrolled for a 6-month follow-up period.

RESULTS

The first phase with five participants for a 4-month feasibility period has been completed and the expected completion date for the second phase of the study (20 participants for 6 months) is July 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

The originality of our 6-month real-life project lies in the choice of the primary outcome and in our user-centered design. We will evaluate the relevance of the alerts and the algorithm performances over time according to the end users. The first-line recipients of the information are the older adults and care partners rather than health-care professionals. Despite the fast pace of e-Health device development, no study addressed the specific everyday needs of older adults and their families using such a participatory design and ‘bottom-up’ approach.

Authors: Natafgi Nabil , Tafari A Tsahai , Chauhan Cynthia , Bekelman Justin E , Mullins C Daniel
Published: April 2019

Patient engagement often starts after research funding is secured with little or no involvement of patients in the proposal development phase. This paper compares three levels of patient engagement and describes patients’ early engagement in research proposal development process and its contemporary relevance to clinical and translational research. Authentic patient engagement is illustrated using an example of an ongoing pragmatic clinical trial. The paper also addresses key patient considerations and questions that have an impact on the proposal development. The final section presents strategies to overcome challenges to the patients’ early engagement in research proposal development approach from the perspectives of both patients and researchers. Although the examples are from comparative effectiveness research, strategies discussed can be applied to all clinical and translational research.
Efecto de la morfología en la degradación hidrolítica de Películas de poliuretano-urea segmentados
Authors: May Hernández Luis Humberto , Lira Maas Jose dolores , Reyes-Márquez Hernández Ricardo
Published: April 2019

La estabilidad hidrolítica de una serie de polímeros de Poliuretanourea segmentado (PUUs) fue estudiada bajo degradación in vitro en buffer de fosfato salino (PBS) con pH de 7.4 y 37 °C durante 20 semanas. La degradación y las propiedades mecánicas de los productos finales fueron controladas por el contenido de segmentos rígidos y el tratamiento cercano a la temperatura de fusión del glicol utilizado. La asociación de los segmentos rígidos se incrementó usando diisocianato y dioles lineales. Las interacciones moleculares promovieron diversas respuestas viscoelásticas, que a su vez, fueron influenciadas por el envejecimiento térmico promovido en las cercanías del glicol. Los estudios de degradación se realizaron en películas delgadas obtenidas por evaporación lenta del solvente. Los PUUs fueron caracterizados mediante técnicas de espectroscopia de IR, calorimetría, análisis dinámico-mecánico y difracción de rayos X
Soluciones de conducción para vehículos autónomos, y propuestas adaptativas para establecer los tiempos de semáforos y elegir rutas
Authors: Carrillo González José Gerardo
Published: April 2019

Two objectives are pursued in this article: 1) with adaptive solutions, improve the traffic flow by setting the time cycle of traffic lights at intersections and reduce the travel time by selecting the vehicles route (treated as separated problems). 2) Avoid driving conflicts among autonomous vehicles (which have defined trajectories) and these with a non-autonomous vehicle (which follows a free path). The traffic lights times are set with formulas that continuously recalculate the times values according the number of vehicles on the intersecting streets. For selecting the vehicles route an algorithm was developed, this calculates different routes (connected streets that conform a solution from the origin to the destination) and selects a route with low density. The results of the article indicate that the adaptive solutions to set the traffic lights times and to select the vehicles path, present a greater traffic flow and a shorter travel time, respectively, than conventional solutions. To avoid collisions among autonomous vehicles which follow a linear path, an algorithm was developed, this was successfully tested in different scenarios through simulations, besides the algorithm allows the interaction of a vehicle manually controlled (circulating without restrictions) with the autonomous vehicles. The algorithm regulates the autonomous vehicles acceleration (deceleration) and assigns the right of way among these and with the human controlled vehicle.
EURASIAN MULTILINGUAL AREA: PRESENTATION OF WORD0TERM “LUGAT” IN DICTIONARIES OF TURKIC LANGUAGES (KAZAKH, UZBEK)
Authors: Dzhusupov Mahanbet
Published: April 2019

This paper deals with the problem of interlingual and intercultural interrelations of the Turkic world of Eurasia with other lingual and cultural national entities. Issue of such interrelations is based on the analysis of lexeme ‘dictionary’, which was borrowed from the Arabic language on the material of the content of its definition in explanatory dictionaries of the Kazakh (лұғат) and Uzbek (луғат) languages. Term lugat (лұғат) means the same in the Kazakh and Uzbek languages, but it is presented differently in the explanatory dictionaries. Meanings of lexeme ‘dictionary’ are presented in more quantity in the Uzbek dictionary, than they are in the Kazakh dictionary. There are also presented word-terms, which were formed from the lexeme lugat by suffixation (луғатчи (lugatchi), луғатшунос (lugatshunos), луғатшунослик (lugatshunoslik), which form synonymic rows with the terms lexicographer, lexicography. Words лұғатшы (lugatshy), лұғатшылык (lugatshylyk) aren’t presented as independent dictionary entries in the Kazakh dictionary. Given words exist in lexis of the Kazakh language, but their usage is rare in the speech of linguists. These lexemes are stylistically colored units in the Uzbek language. Lexeme lugat is marked as literary in the Kazakh dictionary. Lexeme lugat hasn’t dictionary mark “literary” in the Uzbek dictionary, i.e. the word is characterized with neutral stylistic nuance. Borrowed word, which was became a heritage of the Kazakh and Uzbek languages, kept its original semantics, but it acquired new meanings, which were created by word-formative models of the two languages. It became one of the reasons of appearance of essential distinctions in the content of their presentation in explanatory dictionaries of two Turkic recipiented languages.
TRANSLATION OF LINGUOCULTUREMES IN THE FICTION TEXT “PETER PAN”
Authors: Yunkova Evgeniya P
Published: April 2019

This article presents the comparative analysis of two different Russian translations of English fiction text. The research deals with linguoculturemes. The author gives a variety of definitions of the term linguocultureme, comparing this concept´s studies. The author offers to consider not only Russian-speaking but also foreign theoretical practices on a subject of basic linguoculturological concepts. Thus, through the synthesis of domestic and Spanish-language works the basic definition of a linguocultureme is offered. The four-component classification of the linguoculturemes helps to present the diversity of these components in the space of the English fiction text. The material of the research is Russian variants of translation of the English story “Peter Pan”. The purpose of this article is to compare the translations of the fiction text observing the rate of linguoculturemes in the text and classifying them, showing the variety of translation strategies. The results confirm the thesis about linguocultureme as a “zero-unit” which is a source of a translation problem. Comparative study of two Russian-language translations and its pragmatical analysis also confirms the thesis about the influence of the potential addressee of the text on the choice of language units during the translation. The attempt to study the translation as a part of the cross-cultural communication as well as the presence of the original material make this study relevant.
Incorporating the Patient Voice Into Practice Improvement:
Authors: Hsu Kristie Y. , Contreras Victor M. , Vollrath Kathan , Cuan Nancy , Lin Steven
Published: April 2019

Background and Objectives: Many primary care clinics rely on providers and staff to generate quality improvement (QI) ideas without explicitly including patients. However, without understanding patient perspectives, clinics may miss areas for improvement. We identified practice improvement opportunities using a medical student-driven pilot of QI design that incorporates the patient voice and explored provider/staff perceptions of patient perspectives.
Methods: One medical student interviewed eight patients for their perspectives on QI opportunities at a university-based primary care practice. Two trainees independently coded interview transcripts using directed content analysis (final codebook: 11 themes) and determined frequency of mentions for each theme. We surveyed 11 providers/staff by asking them to select 5 of the 11 themes and place them in rank order based on their perceptions of patient concerns; their surveys were aggregated into one ranked list.
Results: Patients most frequently identified the following themes as QI opportunities: relationship (ie, feeling of personal connection with providers/staff), specialty care, convenience, sustainability, and goal follow-up. While patients frequently identified relationship (rank=1) and goal follow-up (rank=3) as QI opportunities, the provider/staff top five list did not include relationship (rank=10) or goal follow-up (rank=7).
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates two things: (1) there are areas of discordance between provider/staff perceptions and patient perspectives regarding practice improvement opportunities; and (2) medical students can participate meaningfully in the QI process. By harnessing patient perspectives with the help of medical trainees, clinics may better understand patient concerns and avoid potential QI blind spots.
Scope of Practice and Patient Panel Size of Family Physicians Who Work With Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants
Authors: Dai Mingliang , Ingham Richard C. , Peterson Lars E.
Published: April 2019

Background and Objectives: Little is known about how the presence of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) in a practice impacts family physicians’ (FPs’) scope of practice. This study sought to examine variations in FPs’ practice associated with NPs and PAs.
Methods: We obtained data from American Board of Family Medicine practice demographic questionnaires completed by FPs who registered for the Family Medicine Certification Examination during 2013-2016. Scope of practice score was calculated for each FP, ranging from 0-30 with higher numbers equating to broader scope of practice. FPs self-reported patient panel size. Primary care teams were classified into NP only, PA only, both NP and PA, or no NP or PA. We estimated variation in scope and panel size with different team configurations in regression models.
Results: Of 27,836 FPs, nearly 70% had NPs or PAs in their practice but less than half (42.5%) estimated a panel size. Accounting for physician and practice characteristics, the presence of NPs and/or PAs was associated with significant increases in panel sizes (by 410 with PA only, 259 with NP only and 245 with both; all P<0.05) and in scope score (by 0.53 with PA only, 0.10 with NP only and 0.51 with both; all P<0.05).
Conclusions: We found evidence that team-based care involving NPs and PAs was associated with higher practice capacity of FPs. Working with PAs seemed to allow FPs to see a greater number of patients and provide more services than working with NPs. Delineation of primary care team roles, responsibilities and boundaries may explain these findings.

Authors: Chitra Shivalingam , Bargavi Purushothaman , Durgalakshmi Dhinasekaran , Rajashree Padmanaban , Balakumar Subramanian
Published: April 2019

Bioglass (BG) was prepared by sol-gel method and the role of sintering
temperatures (600, 700 and 800?C) on crystalline phase changes,
bioactivity, erythrocyte andMG-63 cell line compatibility was investigated.
Increase in sintering temperature from 600 to 800?C led to the secondary
phase formation that was confirmed through structural analysis.
Micrographics revealed the formation of nanorods (700?C) and nanoflake like
(800?C) morphologies. Biocompatibility assay showed that, BG sintered at
600?C had optimal biocompatibility while better mechanical property was
noted at 700?C. Altogether, the study demonstrated that increasing the
sintering temperature will result in increased crystallinity which in turn
resulted in the optimal biomineralization but decreased the
biocompatibility. Hence, we demonstrated the importance of temperature
during the processing of BG for various applications, as it affects many
properties including bioactivity and compatibility.

Authors: Wojteczko Kamil , Haberko Krzysztof , Bucko Mirosław , Rutkowski Paweł , Rączka Marian
Published: April 2019

Yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals were prepared using
mixtures of two different powders. One is composed of nanometric particles
of 3.5mol% Y2O3 solid solution in ZrO2 and the other one of pure zirconia
particles. The latter shows elongated particles of about 200 nm length and
monoclinic symmetry and the former consists of isometric tetragonal
particles of about 7 nm size. Both powders were synthesized under
hydrothermal conditions at 240?C in water (the 3.5mol% Y2O3-ZrO2 solid
solution) or in 4M NaOH solution (the pure ZrO2 powder). Two homogenous
mixtures of these powders were prepared; the one with 5wt.% and the other
one with 10 wt.% of the elongated zirconia particles. Compacts of 10mm
diameter were isostatically pressed (250MPa) and sintered in a dilatometer
furnace at 1400?C with no soaking time. A set of samples heated up to the
selected temperatures allowed us to follow phase changes of the materials
vs. temperature by X-ray diffraction. It was confirmed that all materials
show tetragonal symmetry at the final temperature (1400?C). Density and
mean grain size decrease with the elongated zirconia particle additives. The
dense samples were polished and their hardness and fracture toughness were
determined by Vickers indentation. No hardness changes, due to the elongated
zirconia particles additives, were observed, but essential increase of
fracture toughness occurred. The observations of the crack runs suggest
crack deflection as a potential mechanism of the fracture toughness
increase.

APPLICATION OF MERCER MODEL IN THE EVALUATION OF THE RISK FACTORS OF OBESITY FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
Authors: Matulníková Ľudmila , Mizerska Krystyna
Published: April 2019

The study presents an assessment of risk factors that affect obesity of a pregnant woman through components in the macrosystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and microsystem hierarchy according to Ramona Mercer's conceptual framework. Through the conceptual framework, we identify aspects with maternal and child impact in women with excessive body weight. The benefits of using the Mercer model are that multiple domains are identified and factors that affect nutrition, physical activity, and optimization of weight gain in a pregnant woman are taken into account. The conceptual framework supports the perception of contextual circumstances, helps to create conditions for changing health behavior and reducing health risks. Obesity in a pregnant woman, excessive weight gain and gestational body weight are influenced by physiological, psychological, behavioral, family, cultural and environmental factors. The interaction of factors creates preconditions for improving or worsening the health of a pregnant woman and a prenatal child during pregnancy. The process of caring for a pregnant woman with excessive body weight is focused on four concepts of obesity, pregnancy, complications and nursing management. The analysis of the conceptual framework helps to create preventive interventions and to select effective strategies. The aim of interventions is to achieve a change of environment for the pregnant woman, which may affect the regulation of body mass index, maintenance of gestational weight, behavioral changes, attitudes, nutritional adjustments, physical activity and reduced risk of complications in the mother and the child.

Comparison of the Effects of Three Hangboard Strength and Endurance Training Programs on Grip Endurance in Sport Climbers
Authors: López-Rivera Eva , González-Badillo Juan José
Published: April 2019

Intermittent isometric endurance of the forearm flexors is a determinant factor of sport climbing performance. However, little is known about the best method to improve grip endurance in sport climbing regarding maximal or intermittent dead-hang training methods. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three 8-week finger training programs using dead-hangs (maximal, intermittent, and a combination) on grip endurance. Twenty-six advanced sport climbers (7c+/8a mean climbing ability) were randomly distributed among three groups: maximal dead-hangs with maximal added weight on an 18 mm edge followed by MaxHangs on minimal edge depth; intermittent dead-hangs using the minimal edge depth, and a combination of both. The grip endurance gains and effect size were 34% and 0.6, respectively, for the group following maximal dead-hang training, 45% and 1, respectively, for the group following intermittent dead-hang training, and 7% and 0.1, respectively, for the group applying the combination of both training methods. Grip endurance increased significantly after 4 weeks in the group performing intermittent dead-hangs (p = 0.004) and after 8 weeks in both groups performing intermittent dead-hangs (p = 0.002) and MaxHangs (p = 0.010). The results suggest that the intermittent dead-hangs training method seems to be more effective for grip endurance development after eight week application in advanced sport-climbers. However, both methods, maximal and intermittent dead-hangs, could be alternated for longer training periods
Multiobjective Improved Particle Swarm Optimisation for Transmission Congestion and Voltage Profile Management using Multilevel UPFC
Authors: Rao Mallavolu Malleswara , Ramadas Geetha
Published: April 2019

This paper proposes a multiobjective improved particle swarm optimisation (IPSO) for placing and sizing the series modular multilevel converter-based unified power flow controller (MMC-UPFC) FACTS devices to manage the transmission congestion and voltage profile in deregulated electricity markets. The proposed multiobjective IPSO algorithm is perfect for accomplishing the close ideal distributed generation (DG) sizes while conveying smooth assembly qualities contrasted with another existing algorithm. It tends to be reasoned that voltage profile and genuine power misfortunes have generous upgrades along ideal speculation on DGs in both the test frameworks. The proposed system eliminates the congestion and the power system can be easily used to solve complex and non-linear optimisation problems in a real-time manner.
Evaluation of physical fatigue based on motion analysis
Authors: Bernardo Fábio , Martins Raquel , Guedes J. C. C.
Published: April 2019

Muscle fatigue refers to the transient decrease in the capacity to perform physical actions and can cause productivity loss, human errors, unsafe actions, injuries and work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). A total of 13 participants repetitively lifted a 2.5 kg load at a total elevation of 0.5 m, until voluntary exhaustion or intensive pain. Several indicators of muscle fatigue were found, including increased forward bending, micro expressions, changing load support strategy, holding load closer to the chest during elevation and increase in eccentric movement speed. Volunteers that practiced sports regularly lasted longer in the experiment and it was found that smoking and sedentarism limited the exercise capacity of some subjects. Volunteers increased the wrists and elbows velocity during the experiment. It was verified that half of the volunteers had less fluid movement during lifting, with higher acceleration values in some parts and lower values in others, translating into more impulsive movements. It was concluded that to compensate muscle fatigue, people adapt their working strategy, changing movement patterns, recruiting different muscles and changing kinetic or kinematic components of the movement (like joint angles and velocities).

Efficient and Low Complexity Surveillance Video Compression using Distributed Scalable Video Coding
Authors: Thi Hue Le Dao , Van Luong Pham , Trieu Duong Dinh , HoangVan Xiem
Published: April 2019

Video surveillance has been playing an important role in public safety and privacy protection in recent years thanks to its capability of providing the activity monitoring and content analyzing. However, the data associated with long hours surveillance video is huge, making it less attractive to practical applications. In this paper, we propose a low complexity, yet efficient scalable video coding solution for video surveillance system. The proposed surveillance video compression scheme is able to provide the quality scalability feature by following a layered coding structure that consists of one or several enhancement layers on the top of a base layer. In addition, to maintain the backward compatibility with the current video coding standards, the state-of-the-art video coding standard, i.e., High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is employed in the proposed coding solution to compress the base layer. To satisfy the low complexity requirement of the encoder for the video surveillance systems, the distributed coding concept is employed at the enhancement layers. Experiments conducted for a rich set of surveillance video data shown that the proposed surveillance - distributed scalable video coding (S-DSVC) solution significantly outperforms relevant video coding benchmarks, notably the SHVC standard and the HEVC-simulcasting while requiring much lower computational complexity at the encoder which is essential for practical video surveillance applications.

Authors: Hao Nguyen Van , Duc Minh Nguyen , Nguyen Thanh Loan Pham
Published: April 2019

In this paper, an adaptive and wide-range output DC-DC converter designed for lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery charger circuit is proposed. The converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) to provide an output voltage in response to battery voltage and a wide-range output current to ensure that circuit requirements are met. This circuit is designed on Cadence using 0.35-um BCD technology. Simulation results show that the circuit fully operates in CCM mode with a load current from 50 mA to 1000 mA and output voltage ripple factor is less than 1 %. Furthermore, the current supplied to the load circuit responses to three types of Li-Ion rechargeable currents. The output voltage of the converter varies from 2.8 to 4.5 V corresponding to the voltage range of the battery being charged from 2.5 to 4.2 V. The average power efficiency of the converter in large load current mode (1000 mA) reaches 94 %.

RDChiral: An RDKit Wrapper for Handling Stereochemistry in Retrosynthetic Template Extraction and Application
Authors: Coley Connor W. , Green William H. , Jensen Klavs F.
Published: April 2019

There is a renewed interest in computer-aided synthesis planning, where the vast majority of approaches require the application of retrosynthetic reaction templates. Here, we introduce an open source Python wrapper for RDKit designed to provide consistent handling of stereochemical information in applying retrosynthetic transformations encoded as SMARTS strings. RDChiral is designed to enforce the introduction, destruction, retention, and inversion of tetrahedral centers as well as the cis/trans chirality of double bonds. We also introduce an open source implementation of a retrosynthetic template extraction algorithm to generate SMARTS patterns from atom-mapped reaction SMILES strings. In this manuscript, we describe the implementation of these two pieces of code and illustrate their use through many examples.

The two .json.gz files can be generated from the open source USPTO data available at https://figshare.com/articles/Chemical_reactions_from_US_patents_1976-Sep2016_/5104873 using the code contained in the rdchiral GitHub repository. They are placed here for convenience if you would prefer to copy them into the templates/data subfolder instead of creating them from the source .rsmi file.

Teknologi pada zaman sekarang semakin canggih dan hampir semua dalam kehidupan sehari-hari pasti tidak akan lumput dengan adanya teknologi. Teknologi yang semakin canggih dapat mempermudah semua orang dalam melakukan berbagai aktivitas. Pada proses jual beli manual sering kali lupa mencatat stok barang, barang masuk dan barang keluar terkadang tidak sama dengan catatan. Kemudian pada proses jual beli manual terkadang ada orang mencari suatu barang ternyata barang tersebut sudah habis dan penjual lupa untuk merestok ulang barang. Hal-hal demikian yang dapat dipermudah untuk mengingatkan barang apa saja yang perlu distok ulang. Dengan adanya sistem informasi berbasis web namun dapat dijalankan secara offline dapat membantu user dalam proses jual beli. Dalam sistem penjualan ini terdapat pengolahan data barang, data suplier, data customer, data penjualan dan data pembelian. Pada data barang juga akan memberi tahukan kepada user apabila stok barang tinggal sedikit agar user dapat mempersiapkan barang apa saja yang harus di beli kembali dari suplier. Terdapat laporan dalam bentuk .pdf yang nantinya dapat dicetak. Metode t yang digunakan yaitu ascending atau mengurutkan dari nilai terkecil ke terbesar dari stok barang. Pada sistem ini data barang dapat urut agar mempemudah user untuk mengecek barang yang perlu distok kembali. Penerapan metode Selection Sort pada sistem informasi penjualan menggunakan PHP dengan database PostgreSQL.
