Authors: Satya Putra Alfa , Aribowo Arnold , Tjahyadi Hendra
Published: June 2018

Berdasarkan bagaimana mengendalikan gerak robot sepak bola, pendekatan dalam robot sepak bola dapat dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu tersentralisasi dan terdesentralisasi. Pendekatan tersentralisasi merupakan contoh dari konsep control over network, dimana semua komponen dikendalikan melalui sebuah jaringan. Setiap robot mendapatkan informasi dari sistem visi di luar robot untuk mendeteksi bola, kemudian komputer sentral sebagai pengendali akan membuat keputusan untuk menentukan robot mana yang akan mendekat dan menendang bola. Komunikasi antara robot dan komputer sentral bersifat nirkabel dan diharapkan memiliki reliabilitas tinggi. Salah satu komponen penting pada robot sepak bola adalah rangkaian penendang bola. Rangkaian penendang bola diharapkan dapat merespon perintah untuk menendang bola dengan tepat dan akurat. Sistem komunikasi nirkabel untuk mengendalikan gerak robot sepak bola dirancang menggunakan mikrokontroler WeMos D1. Rangkaian penendang bola dirancang menggunakan rangkaian solenoid yang dikendalikan oleh mikrokontroler. Pengujian menunjukkan sistem komunikasi nirkabel memiliki reliabilitas 100% untuk jarak sampai dengan 300cm. Rangkaian penendang dapat merespon dengan baik terhadap perintah menendang bola, baik dari posisi robot tidak bergerak maupun posisi robot bergerak. Pada posisi robot tidak bergera, robot dapat menendang bola hingga mencapai jarak rata-rata 42.22cm dan kemiringan bola rata-rata 29.58°. Pada posisi robot bergerak, jarak rata-rata tendangan adalah 40.98cm dan kemiringan bola rata-rata 26.12°.

Las codornices que habitan en bosques y selvas representan un buen modelo para analizar los retos que representan tanto el manejo como la conservación de la fauna silvestre, debido a su estrecha dependencia hacia esos ecosistemas. Las políticas gubernamentales de uso y protección de los recursos naturales repercuten en las condiciones en las que se mantiene la vegetación como hábitat, por lo que aquí se examinan esos factores y su posible influencia en estas aves, como un caso de estudio. De especial importancia son las Unidades de Manejo para la Conservación de la Vida Silvestre (UMA), por ser un avance respecto a los anteriores enfoques puramente cinegéticos, ya que pretenden promover la revaloración de los recursos naturales, la diversificación productiva de los poseedores de la tierra y su participación en ellas. Sin embargo, el modelo sigue siendo polémico y aún tiene serios problemas de implementación, por la falta de rigor científico en el monitoreo de las poblaciones que se intenta aprovechar. En general, el principal reto consiste en mantener el hábitat mediante la conservación de la vegetación arbolada. Esto implica la inclusión de prácticas sustentables en la aplicación de métodos de manejo forestal que consideren las necesidades de la fauna, así como la disminución de las tasas de deforestación.

AbstractThyroid disorder disease ranks second most in the list of metabolic diseases after diabetes mellitus (DM). Thyroid disease or Thyroid abnormalities is a condition of abnormalities in a person due to the disorder of the thyroid gland. TSH is a primary factor that controls thyroid cell growth and synthesis also thyroid hormone secretion. TSH secretion is stimulated by low levels of T3 and T4 and by the hormone TRH (Thyroid Releasing Hormone) the hypothalamus is inhibited by elevated levels of T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are circulating in the plasma, most of which are bound with proteins, Thyroid Binding Globulin (TBG) and a small part in free form that are Free Triiodotironine (FT3) and Free Thyroxine (FT4). The free hormone (FT3 and FT4) is an actively metabolic fraction which is known to be quantitative. Currently the measurement of free hormone levels should be part of a complete examination of the status of the thyroid gland. The purpose analyzes the levels of TSH, FT4 and proves the relationship between the two in patients with thyroid disorders. This examination by using ELISA method is with EIA competitive principles and sandwiches. The samples are serum of patients with thyroid disorders at RSUD Bangkalan and Farmalab Laboratory from October to November 2017.The 30 samples obtaines an average result of TSH level of 1.9 mIU / L and an average FT4 level of 2.8 ng / dl. Next test Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Spearrman's test results obtained if the variable one value rose (high) then the other variable down (low). It can be concluded that there is an opposite relationship between TSH levels and FT4 levels, if TSH levels increase, the FT4 level decreases, and so it is also in contrast Keywords: TSH, FT4, thyroid disorders

A crossed pin is biomechanically stable than lateral pins, but associated with risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. Recent studies have shown stable fixation with three lateral pin construct. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three lateral divergent pinning for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures.Methods: Thirty five children with Gartland types III were treated between November 2012 and November 2013. Closed reduction and three lateral divergent pinning was done with image intensifier guidance. Patients were followed up for minimum 6 months. Radiological assessment was done to see union, proper pin placement and loss of reduction. Clinically, patients were assessed by using Flynn criteria.Results: There were 24 (68.6%) male and 11 (31.4%) female children between 2 to 13 years of age with displaced supracondylar fractures, left side 26 (74.3%) and right nine (25.7%) cases. All were successfully managed with closed reduction and three lateral divergent pins within 2-6 days of injury. One radial and one median nerve palsies sustained at injury recovered spontaneously. No iatrogenic nerve injuries occurred. A comparison of perioperative and final radiographs revealed no loss of reduction. Twenty-seven excellent, five good, two fair and one poor results on Flynn’s grading. One patient had a superficial pin-tract infection.Conclusions: Closed reduction with three lateral divergent pins is safe for stable fixation of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children.

Authors: Dixit Shantanu , Kafle Dashrath , Bornstein Michael , Sanjel Seshananda
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Sellar changes are associated with several dentofacial anomalies. Clinicians should be aware of different morphological varaiants of sella turcica (ST).Objective: To find the prevalence of sella turcica bridging and to analyze the absence or presence of bridging with a spectrum of dentofacial anomalies.Materials & Method: 710 case records were selected from the database; out of which 473 subjects met the inclusion criteria. 280 lateral cephalogram revealed a normal shape of ST. Among them, 71 subjects were selected by interval sampling which were taken as the control group. Among initial 473 subjects, 78 samples showed ST bridging and were taken as the study group. Dental casts and radiographs (panoramic and cephalometric) were evaluated to find any dentofacial anomalies. Subjects were divided on the basis of dentofacial anomalies such as abnormal tooth position, size, shape, number, malocclusion, sagittal skeletal relationship. Chi-square test and binomial logistic regression analysis were done to find the association and correlation among the variables.Result: In the study group, 32 subjects showed a complete bridging and 46 subjects a partial bridging of the sella turcica. There was no significant association between ST bridging and age, gender or ethnic groups. However, there was significant association (p=0.001) between the presence of bridging and dentofacial anomalies when compared with the control group.Conclusion: The occurrence of ST bridging is 16.49% with no association to age, gender and ethnic groups in a Nepalese sample. Sella turcica bridging can be used as a diagnostic tool for early prediction of dentofacial anomalies

Authors: Nyachhyon Rinky
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Age estimation can be based on tooth formation stages seen on the radiographs. Demirjian’s method is widely used to assess age of individuals with developing dentition. There are not many documented studies of age estimation amongst Nepali population.Objective: To assess the applicability of Demirjian’s method for dental age estimation in Nepali children.Materials & Method: The sample of the study consisted of 186 subjects between 7-16 years of age. Dental age estimation was based on Demirjian’s method and scored by a single observer.Result: The mean and mean differences in chronological and dental ages were calculated, which revealed the overestimation in age groups of 7 and 9 years, whereas there were underestimations in other age groups. The mean differences in age groups 12-16 were highly significant (p-Value <0.05) whereas the mean difference in age groups 7-11 years were not statistically significant.Conclusion: Since there is underestimation range from 0.5 years to 1.23 years, the standards of dental maturity described by Demirjian may not be suitable for Nepali children.
Root Resorption in Orthodontic Treatment: Scoping Review
Authors: Aryal Neeta , Jing Mao
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Root resorption is the loss of apical root tissue leading to the shortness of root which is often evident in orthodontic tooth movement. Proper management during orthodontic treatment however can minimize this undesirable outcome. The present article attempts to review the etiology of root resorption, methods of diagnosis, and strategies for prevention.Materials & Method: A scoping review was done with the purpose to carry out the narrative integration of the relevant evidences on root resorption and orthodontic treatment from the published literatures. The resulting papers were studied and reviewed thoroughly for the key explanation of root resorption in orthodontic patients. A total of 41 published research articles were reviewed.Discussion: According to the literatures root resorption is common iatrogenic outcome in orthodontic treatment. Biological, mechanical, and combined biological and mechanical factors result in external root resorption. Though most clinicians diagnose root resorption by conventional radiography, researches have clearly shown that CBCT is the promising tool. The clinicians need to counsel orthodontic patients and their parents that the root resorption might be a potential consequence of the treatment lasting for long time. In case of severity; it is essential to reassess the patient and minimize the underlying cause. It is necessary to understand the role of orthodontist in preventing root resorption

Finansal tablo
kullanıcıları, denetçi raporunun daha fazla bilgi içermesini, özellikle
denetçilerin yaptıkları denetim sonucunda kullanıcılara daha fazla yararlı
bilgi vermelerini istemişlerdir. Daha fazla bilgi içeren rapor taleplerine
karşılık, Uluslararası Denetim ve Güvence Standartları Kurulu (IAASB), denetçi
raporunun iletişim değerini artırmak amacıyla yeni denetim raporlaması projesi
kapsamında yeni ISA 701 “Kilit Denetim Konularının Bağımsız Denetçi Raporunda
Bildirilmesi” standardını yayımlamıştır. Daha sonra Kamu Gözetimi Kurumu (KGK) söz
konusu standardın kabul sürecini başlatmış ve sonunda ISA 701 ile uyumlu BDS
701’i 2017 yılında yayımlamıştır. Yeni denetim standardı denetçinin Kilit Denetim
Konularını (KDK) belirlemesini ve bu konuları açıklayarak denetçi raporunda bildirmesini
zorunlu kılmaktadır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, cari
döneme ait finansal tabloların denetiminde, denetçinin meslekî muhakemesine
göre en çok önem arz eden konular olarak tanımlanan KDK’yı ve yeni denetim
standardı ISA/BDS 701’e uygun olarak KDK’nın nasıl belirleneceğini ve bağımsız
denetçi raporunda nasıl bildirileceğini incelemek ve açıklamaktır.
Beauty of the Human Psyche
Authors: Diessner Rhett
Published: June 2018

The human psyche, or soul, reflects the most beautiful forms of the universe: the human virtues, which are reflections of the attributes of God. It appears that virtues begin with God and in some mysterious way are cast upon the human soul, much as the sun casts its rays upon a mirror. Those divine attributes are then reflected from our soul into our mind and manifested as virtuous thoughts (virtuous cognitions) and spiritual emotions; then the mind interacts with the body, creating patterns of neural activity in our brain. Next, through an act of will, those neuronal patterns are transformed into actual behavior and thus into virtuous deeds. This creates a feedback loop in which those virtuous deeds then influence brain patterns, which then influence cognitions and emotions in the mind, and which then may interact with the soul, burnishing it to reflect more fully and purely God’s attributes. This paper combines insights from science and the Bahá’í Writings to outline the “journey” of those virtues.
Depression, Stigma, and the Soul
Authors: McIlvride Patricia
Published: June 2018

Major depression is a global health crisis; it is complex and confusing, and the majority of people who need help do not receive it. The stigma attached to depression and other mental illnesses is one of the greatest barriers to effective treatment. Embedded as it is in history, culture, and even in the medical model, stigma has poisoned the public’s perception of those who suffer from mental illness. Public stigma also creates “self-stigma,” thereby causing disconnections in relationships and, sometimes, a despair that can lead to self-destructive feelings or suicide. New recovery models including those offered by interpersonal neurobiology are challenging the medical model in the treatment of mental illness. By defining the mind as transcendent and both embodied and relational, new avenues of healing become possible. Health is realized when those with mental health challenges create their own recovery plans and draw on the healing power of the soul within loving and educated communities that support them with friendship, not judgment.

Published: June 2018

Objective: To study the prevalence of alcohol and substance use among medical students.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study surveyed Prince of Songkla University medical students in 2016. Questionnaires for demographic data, the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT), experience with alcohol and substance abuse, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Thai version (PHQ-9) were used. We analyzed the data in order to describe the behavior of subjects by descriptive statistics. The factors associated with alcohol used were analyzed by chi-square test and logistic regression.Results: Seven hundred thirty-nine (70.1%) of medical students completed the questionnaires. Participants, 56.0% were female and 44.0% were male. Mean age was 21.2 years old; 53.3% have drunk alcohol; the gender proportion of drinkers was 60.0% of males and 48.1% of females. By AUDIT, 23.1% of medical students were high-risk drinkers. The most common reason for alcohol consumption was social engagement (91.9%) and the most common reason for not drinking was having knowledge about the harmful health effects of alcohol (51.2%). Of the medical students, 7.6% had experience with substance use. The drugs most commonly used were cigarettes (5.3%) and baraku (4.6%). According to the PHQ-9, 11.2% of all medical students, 12.6% in males and 10.1% in females had depression. However, these high levels of depression did not associate with a high-risk of alcohol consumption. The significant factors that associated with high-risk drinking were gender [odd ratio (OR)=1.9 (1.1-3.4)] and experience with substance use [OR=3.8 (2.0-7.3)].Conclusion: Half of medical students drank alcohol and approximate 1 in 10 had experience with substance use. Gender and experience with substance use were the significant factors that correlated with high-risk drinking.

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan di Desa Sukawening Kecamatan Ciwidey Kabupaten Bandung adalah kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang menjadi agenda tahunan Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Immanuel Bandung. Pada tahun ini, Program studi S1 Kesehatan Masyarakat memusatkan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat pada Sekolah Dasar Sukawening. Sasaran kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah pada guru. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan guru SD Sukawening tentang kelelahan kerja, serta mengetahui tingkat kelelahan kerjanya. Pengukuran kelelahan kerja menggunakan alat reaction timer Lakassidaya L77 dilakukan sebelum penyuluhan dan menggunakan kuesioner G-Fatigue, yang digunakan untuk mengukur kelelahan fisik dan psikologis pada dosen/tenaga pendidik. Untuk mengetahui peningkatan pengetahuan dilakukan pretest sebelum penyuluhan dan posttest setelah penyuluhan. Sasaran kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat adalahn seluruh guru SD, sebanyak 10 orang. Akan tetapi pada saat pelaksanaan kegiatan, hanya 8 orang guru yang dapat mengikutinya (80%). Hasil pengukuran kelelahan kerja pada guru SD Sukawening didapakan data bahwa ada 12,5% yang mengalami kelelahan berat, dan 25,0% yang dalam kondisi normal. Sebagian besar dalam kondisi lelah ringan (62,5%). Rerata waktu reaksi adalah 260,4 milidetik standar deviasi 400 milidetik, termasuk dalam kondisi lelah ringan. Terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan tentang pencegahan kelelahan kerja pada guru, dengan skor rerata pretest sebesar 4 standar deviasi 1 mengalami peningkatan dengan hasil posttest sebesar 6 standar deviasi 1,5. Pencegahan kelelahan kerja pada guru diperlukan karena dari hasil kegiatan pengmas didapatkan bahwa guru mengalami kelelahan kerja dan pengetahuan tentang pencegahan kelelahan kerja masih rendah sebelum dilakukan penyuluhan. Kegiatan yang sama dapat dilakukan di Sekolah Dasar lain yang belum pernah mendapatkan kegiatan serupa.

Kelurahan Marga Mulya secara geografis terletak di Kecamatan Bekasi Utara dan  di wilayah  terdapat sebuah pemukiman padat penduduk yang terdapat di Rukun Warga 07. Dimana di lokasi ini terdapat juga sebuah kampung yang dinamakan Kampung KB (Keluarga Berencana).  Pada tahun 2015 yang lalu wilayah ini menjadi juara pertama Lomba Program Terpadu P2WKSS kategori kota dalam rangka Peringatan Hari Ibu, Hari Kesetiakawanan Sosial Nasional (HKSN), dan Hari Disabilitas Internasional (HDI) tingkat Propinsi Jawa Barat. Penghargaan ini didapat karena program Keluarga Berencana di wilayah ini tergolong berhasil dalam menekan angka kelahiran khususnya di wilayah Kelurahan Marga Mulya. Untuk melengkapi keberhasilan tersebut dalam upaya mengamalkan salah satu dari Tri Dharma perguruan tinggi berupa pengabdian pada masyarakat, kami dari Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Bhayangkara Jaya, bermaksud untuk mengadakan pelatihan  tentangliterasi keuangan yaitu sebuah proses mencapai tujuan hidup seseorang melalui manajemen keuangan secara terencana.Alasan  diadakannya pelatihan ini adalah banyak  diantara masyarakat  yang belum  memiliki tujuan keuangan yang jelas dan cenderung menghabiskan uang untuk memenuhi keinginan jangka pendek, sehingga di hari tua tetap harus bekerja keras untuk kelangsungan hidupnya. Diharapkan setelah pelatihan inimasyarakat yang tinggal di wilayah iniselain program Keluaga Berencananya berhasil, sekaligus dapat memahami tentang Cash Flow Management, yaitu bagaimana mengatur skala prioritasberupa pengeluaran rutin harian, bulanan dan tahunan, pengeluaran tak terduga, sehingga apabila perencanaan keuangan sudah dilakukan dengan baik maka keamanan ekonomi keluarga lebih terjamin, sehingga dengan sendirinya akan meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat setempat. Kata kunci: Keamanan Ekonomi Keluarga, Cash Flow Management, Peningkatkan Taraf Hidup.

Pembuangan limbah domestik atau buangan dari rumah tangga di daerah perkotaan masih dilakukan langsung ke sungai. Sebagian besar penduduk belum memiliki saluran pembuangan air limbah (SPAL). Penyuluhan kepada masyarakat di RW 03 Kelurahan Ciseureuh Kecamatan Regol Kota Bandung diperlukan, mengingat sebagian besar (78%) masyarakat tidak memiliki saluran pembuangan air limbah. Air buangan yang berasal dari pembuangan kotoran langsung di alirkan ke selokan dan akhirnya ke sungai. Bila hal tersebut dilakukan terus-menerus, maka akan dapat mencemari air sungai dan dapat menyebabkan penyakit maupun gangguan kesehatan bagi masyarakat. Penyuluhan dilakukan oleh tim pengabdian masyarakat Program Studi S1 Kesehatan masyarakat Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Immanuel Bandung pada 12 orang perwakilan warta RW 03 Kelurahan Ciseureuh. Hasil evaluasi pretest dan postest dikatakan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan mereka tentang pentingnya saluran pembuangan air limbah pada setiap rumah tangga. Untuk dapat merealisasikan kepemilikan saluran pembuangan air limbah tidak cukup hanya dengan penyuluhan, akan tetapi diperlukan keterlibatan pemerintah kelurahan dan puskesmas untuk mengupayakan biaya dalam pembuatan saluran pembuangan air limbah tersebut. Kerja sama dengan yayasan atau organisasi yang berkaitan dengan sanitasi lingkungan dan pengadaan jamban dan saluran pembuangan air limbah di masyarakat sangat diperlukan. Untuk upaya mandiri warga dapat dilakukan dengan cara arisan ataupun dengan pinjaman lunak dari dana desa.
Tata Kelola Teknologi Informasi Dengan Metode COBIT 4.1 (Studi Kasus : PT.IMI)
Authors: Lesmono Ibnu Dwi , Erca Denny
Published: June 2018

Kemajuan disetiap bidang tak lepas dari teknologi sebagai penunjangnya, terutama teknologi informasi. Akan tetapi hal tersebut harus dimbangi dengan adanya sebuah evaluasi atau audit terhadap penggunaan Teknologi informasi itu sendiri sehingga ancaman atau kerugian dapat diminimalkan ataupun dicegah. Pada Penelitian ini penulis berupaya menemukan dan mengetahui apakah tata kelola Teknologi informasi sudah di terapkan dengan baik dan efektif sesuai dengan visi dan misi perusahaan. Karena  hal ini sangat penting mengingat besarnya biaya yang harus di keluarkan oleh perusahaan dalam menerapkan teknologi informasi khususnya pada PT.IMI agar biaya yang dikeluarkan tidaklah sia-sia dan memberikan manfaat sesuai target yang diinginkan oleh perusahaan dalam rangka mewujudkan visi dan misi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui sejauh mana kinerja sistem informasi administrasi logistic dan juga memberikan rekomendasi tata kelola perbaikan setelah mengetahui kesenjangan antara tata kelola saat ini dengan tata kelola yang diharapkan atau standard-standard yang diharapkan perusahaan pada proses bisnisnya sesuai dengan framework yang digunakan. Framework yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah COBIT versi 4.1 khusus pada domain Deliver and Support (DS). Teknik pengumpulan datanya dilakukan dengan observasi, kuesioner dan wawancara  dengan narasumber yang telah ditentukan sesuai dengan domain dan Control Objective yang digunakan. Metode yang di gunakan penulis dalam menganalisa data menggunakan 4 tahapan, yaitu menentukan level domain, menentukan proses kendali, menentukan indikator dan pemetaan tingkat kematangannya. Sehingga hasil dari penelitian ini nantinya dapat diketahui tingkat kematangan (maturity level) pada proses bisnis yang berjalan di PT.IMI khusus pada Domain DS, yaitu berada pada level 4 yang berarti sudah terukur dan terintegrasi antar proses yang berlangsung dan memberikan rekomendasi kepada perusahaan agar penerapan Teknologi Informasi dapat lebih baik, efektif dan efisien.
