OBJECTIVE

Lumbar fusion is typically associated with high degrees of pain and immobility. The implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) approach has been successful in speeding the recovery after other surgical procedures. In this paper, the authors examined the results of early implementation of ERAS for lumbar fusion.

METHODS

Beginning in March 2018 at the authors’ institution, all patients undergoing posterior, 1- to 3-level lumbar fusion surgery by any of 3 spine surgeons received an intraoperative injection of liposomal bupivacaine, immediate single postoperative infusion of 1-g intravenous acetaminophen, and daily postoperative visits from the authors’ multidisciplinary ERAS care team. Non–English- or non–Spanish-speaking patients and those undergoing nonelective or staged procedures were excluded. Reviews of medical records were conducted for the ERAS cohort of 57 patients and a comparison group of 40 patients who underwent the same procedures during the 6 months before implementation.

RESULTS

Groups did not differ significantly with regard to sex, age, or BMI (all p > 0.05). Length of stay was significantly shorter in the ERAS cohort than in the control cohort (2.9 days vs 3.8 days; p = 0.01). Patients in the ERAS group consumed significantly less oxycodone-acetaminophen than the controls on postoperative day (POD) 0 (408.0 mg vs 1094.7 mg; p = 0.0004), POD 1 (1320.0 mg vs 1708.4 mg; p = 0.04), and POD 3 (1500.1 mg vs 2105.4 mg; p = 0.03). Postoperative pain scores recorded by the physical therapy and occupational therapy teams and nursing staff each day were lower in the ERAS cohort than in controls, with POD 1 achieving significance (4.2 vs 6.0; p = 0.006). The total amount of meperidine (8.8 mg vs 44.7 mg; p = 0.003) consumed was also significantly decreased in the ERAS group, as was ondansetron (2.8 mg vs 6.0 mg; p = 0.02). Distance ambulated on each POD was farther in the ERAS cohort, with ambulation on POD 1 (109.4 ft vs 41.4 ft; p = 0.002) achieving significance.

CONCLUSIONS

In this very initial implementation of the first phase of an ERAS program for short-segment lumbar fusion, the authors were able to demonstrate substantial positive effects on the early recovery process. Importantly, these effects were not surgeon-specific and could be generalized across surgeons with disparate technical predilections. The authors plan additional iterations to their ERAS protocols for continued quality improvements.

OBJECTIVE

The indication for and timing of surgery for epilepsy associated with low-grade mixed neuronal-glial tumors may be controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of resection and associated variables on epilepsy and on progression-free survival (PFS).

METHODS

A retrospective chart review of patients treated between 1992 and 2016 was conducted to identify individuals with epilepsy and low-grade gliomas or neuronal-glial tumors who underwent resective surgery. Data analyzed included age at epilepsy onset, age at surgery, extent of resection, use of electrocorticography, the number of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) before and after surgery, the presence of dysplasia, Engel class, histological findings, and PFS. The institutional review board protocol was specifically approved to conduct this study.

RESULTS

A total of 107 patients were identified. The median follow-up was 4.9 years. The most common pathology was dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (36.4%), followed by ganglioglioma (31.8%). Eighty-four percent of patients had Engel class I outcomes following surgery. Gross-total resection was associated with a higher likelihood of an Engel class I outcome (90%) as compared to subtotal resection (58%) (p = 0.0005). Surgery reduced the AED burden, with 40% of patients requiring no AEDs after surgery (p < 0.0001). Children with neurodevelopmental comorbidities (n = 5) uniformly did not experience seizure improvement following resection (0% vs 83% overall; p < 0.0001). Electrocorticography was used in 33% of cases and did not significantly increase class I outcomes. PFS was 90% at 5 years. Eleven percent of tumors recurred, with subtotal resection more likely to result in recurrence (hazard ratio 5.3, p = 0.02). Histological subtype showed no significant impact on recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS

Gross-total resection was strongly associated with Engel class I outcome and longer PFS. Further studies are needed to elucidate the suitable time for surgery and to identify factors associated with oncological transformation.
Pediatric occipital condyle morphometric analysis using computed tomography with evaluation for occipital condyle screw placement

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

Occipitocervical fusions in the pediatric population are rare but can be challenging because of the smaller anatomy. The procedure is even more exacting in patients with prior suboccipital craniectomy. A proposed method for occipitocervical fusion in such patients is the use of occipital condyle screws. There is very limited literature evaluating the pediatric occipital condyle for screw placement. The authors examined the occipital condyle in pediatric patients to determine if there was an age cutoff at which condylar screw placement is contraindicated.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective morphometric analysis of the occipital condyle in 518 pediatric patients aged 1 week–9 years old. Patients in their first decade of life whose occipital condyle was demonstrated on CT imaging in the period from 2009 to 2013 at the Augusta University Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Georgia were eligible for inclusion in this study. Exclusion criteria were an age older than 10 years; traumatic, inflammatory, congenital, or neoplastic lesions of the occipital condyles; and any previous surgery of the occipitocervical junction. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed including calculation of the mean, standard deviation, and confidence intervals for all measurements. Probability values were calculated using the Student t-test with statistical significance determined by p < 0.05.

RESULTS

Overall, male patients had statistically significantly larger occipital condyles than the female patients, but this difference was not clinically significant. There was no significant difference in left versus right occipital condyles. There were statistically significant differences between age groups with a general trend toward older children having larger occipital condyles. Overall, 20.65% of all patients evaluated had at least one measurement that would prevent occipital condyle screw placement including at least one patient in every age group.

CONCLUSIONS

Occipital condyle screw fixation is feasible in pediatric patients younger than 10 years. More importantly, all pediatric patients should undergo critical evaluation of the occipital condyle in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes preoperatively to determine individual suitability for occipital condyle screw placement.

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

During childhood, early-onset scoliosis (EOS) may show severe progressive deformity, which consequently leads to aggressive treatment strategies, such as serial casting, long-term bracing, or surgical interventions. The latter usually includes repeated surgeries for implant lengthening every 6 months in order to allow sufficient growth of the thorax and spine. In 2011, the 24-item Early-Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire (EOSQ-24) was introduced to measure health-related quality of life for this patient group and their families. Since then, cross-culturally adapted versions of the EOSQ-24 have been published in Spanish, Turkish, traditional Chinese, and Norwegian. The purpose of the study was to transculturally adapt the original English version of the EOSQ-24 into the German language and evaluate the reliability of the German version.

METHODS

After adaptation and forward/backward translation, the German version of the EOSQ-24 was given to the parents or caregivers of 67 EOS patients (33 male, 34 female) Data quality was evaluated by mean, standard deviation, percentage of data missing, and extent of ceiling and floor effects. Reliability was estimated by internal consistency using Cronbach α and item-total correlations.

RESULTS

In the study group (n = 67), 12 children were either observed (n = 7) or treated with a brace (n = 5). The other 55 patients were treated surgically with growth-friendly implants. The item response to the German EOSQ-24 was high with a minimum of missing data (1.7%). All items showed very good to excellent internal consistencies (0.879–0.903). Floor effects for the 24 items were between 0% and 31% and ceiling effects between 9% and 78%. The calculated Cronbach α for the 24-item scale was 0.9003, indicating excellent reliability.

CONCLUSIONS

The German adaptation of the EOSQ-24 shows excellent reliability and therefore is a valid tool to measure objective health-related quality of life in children with EOS.

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

The positive effect of primary lumbar disc surgery on braking reaction time (BRT) has already been shown. The authors investigated the effect of recurrent lumbar disc herniation surgery on BRT.

METHODS

Twenty-four patients (mean age 49.9 years) were investigated for BRT 1 day before surgery, postoperatively before hospital discharge, and 4 to 5 weeks after surgery. Thirty-one healthy subjects served as a control group.

RESULTS

Significant improvement of BRT following surgery was found in all patients (p < 0.05). For patients with right-sided recurrent disc herniation, median BRT was 736 msec before surgery, 685 msec immediately postoperatively, and 662 msec at follow-up. For patients with left-sided recurrent disc herniation, median BRT was 674 msec preoperatively, 585 msec postoperatively, and 578 msec at follow-up. Control subjects had a median BRT of 487, which differed significantly from the patient BRTs at all 3 test times (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

A significant reduction in BRT in patients with recurrent disc herniation was found following lumbar disc revision surgery, indicating a positive impact of surgery. Due to the improvement in BRT observed immediately after surgery, we conclude that it is appropriate to recommend that patients keep driving after being discharged from the hospital.

Project analytics provide deeper insights to be used on decision making. To conduct project analytics, one should explore the tools and techniques required. The mostcommon tool is Microsoft Excel. Its simplicity and flexibility make project manager or project team members can utilize it to do almost any kind of activities. We combine MS Excel with R Studio to brought data analytics into the project management process. While the data input process still using the old way that the project manager already familiar, the analytic engine could extract data from it and create visualization of needed parameters in a single output report file. This kind of approach deliver a low cost solution of project analytics for the organization. We can implement it with relatively low cost technology onone side, some of them are free, while maintaining the simple way of data generation process. This solution can also be proposed to improve project management process maturity level to the next stage, like CMMI level 4 that promote project analytics.

Abstract

 

The main purpose of the investment activity is to obtain profits for both the company and the investor. To generate profits for investors, the company requires initial capital to manage its operational to do business. In general, investors will make investment decisions based on the intrinsic value of the company or based on the growth of the company’s profitability from the previous period. To measure those reference, investors needs historical data of financial reports as a baseline to calculate and for comparison. The barriers for startup companies are the lack or unavailability of historical financial data due to the age of startups more likely in the early stages (less than or equal to one year).

This research uses the method of discounted cash flows based on the company's financial report. The rates of return to discount the cashflow are based on return from real assets, such as gold and property and stock price as financial asset.

The result shows that the company is good enough to be one of investment alternative since its net present value is positive for all rate of return and its payback period is relatively short.

Abstract

The development of e-commerce in Indonesia these days are not only came from the contribution of technology giants such as Zalora and Berry Benka, but also the growth of small scale online shop that utilize e-marketplace like Tokopedia and Bukalapak and social media. As this sector grew, another business that also flourish in this situation is the application based short distance delivery services. Although viewed to simplify the process of order delivery, not all online shop has fully adopted this app yet. It was suspected that the unavailability of service standard and price plays a major role in this situation.

This research is conducted to investigate the variables that determines the consumer behavior regarding the usage of the short distance delivery application. The analysis is carried out by using the Structural Equation Modeling method with Lisrel 8.8 to examine 4 hypotheses. The result shows that the factor that encourage customer to repeatedly use this kind of application is whether or not the applications are useful to them. Other than that, price value also impacts the customer behavior. This then lead to the race between those application to give the most competitive price possible

Published: April 2019

Irigasi tetes adalah sebuah teknik irigasi yang berguna untuk menjaga kelembaban tanah dalam kondisi optimal dengan efisiensi pemakaian air sebesar 90 – 95%, karena dengan menggunakan teknik ini air yang digunakan sangat minimal untuk mengurangi evaporasi, aliran permukaan dan perkolasi, masalah utama dari teknik ini adalah jadwal pemberian air dan jumlah air yang diberikan sebab kebutuhan air setiap tanaman akan berbeda, ide dasarnya adalah membangun sebuah system irigasi tetes otomatis yang mengimplentasikan sensor kelembaban tanah. Sebelum membuat kendali otomatis perlu disiapkan sebuah jaringan irigasi tetes, ukuran emitter dan posisi penempatannya. Sistem otomatis kemudian diuji dalam rumah kaca dan merekam data-data yang diperlukan, setelah dilakukan pengujian dapat disimpulkan bahwa sensor kelembaban tanah memiliki nilai korelasi 99.7% terhadap nilai kelembaban tanah teoritis, nilai efisiensi keseragaman irigasi (Cu) sebesar 96.01%, nilai keseragaman distribusi (SU) sebesar 94.85%, nilai koefisien keseragaman (CU) sebesar 93.01% dan dalam pengujian ini didapatkan bahwa 75% dari tanaman selada yang dipanen memenui standar dari Amazing Farm. Sewaktu sistem otomasi irigasi tetes ini diuji ditemukan pula bahwa sensor kelembaban tanah hanya bekerja baik selama 27 hari karena munculnya karat akibat terpapar oleh air.

Perempuan dalam media menjadi objek dari budaya media. Makna perempuan divisualisasikan melalui berbagai komoditas yang adalah produk dari industri media, seperti film, video klip, dan iklan televisi. Data budaya populer dalam cultural studies menunjukkan bahwa perempuan memiliki posisi yang lebih rendah dibandingkan laki-laki dalam budaya patriarkis. Riset ini membahas bagaimana perempuan dimarjinalisasikan dalam tiga klip musik berjudul ‘Terlalu Cinta’, ‘Puisi’, dan ‘Merindunya’. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode analisis wacana kritis menggunakan semiotika. Gambar dan elemen visual lainnya digunakan untuk melihat penggambaran perempuan dalam struktur sosial di Indonesia. Dalam budaya media, khususnya dalam video klip musik populer, makna yang tampil adalah perempuan memerlukan laki-laki dalam aktivitas sehari-hari, khususnya dalam hal kebutuhan seksual. Penggambaran video klip di dalam kamar mengindikasikan perempuan yang memerlukan laki-laki untuk memenuhi kebutuhan biologisnya. Penggambaran lainnya adalah perempuan memerlukan laki-laki untuk status sosial. Pengaturan ruangan dan pasangan pria menunjukkan gambaran akan sebuah kebutuhan untuk status sosial. Laki-laki yang terlihat rapi yang berada dalam tata letak yang mewah menunjukkan status sosial kelas atas. Perempuan juga digambarkan bergantung pada laki-laki.

“EROTISISME DALAM FILM HOROR INDONESIA”
Authors: Setiyawan Clemens Felix
Published: April 2019

Erotisisme dalam era milenium menjadi sajian khas yang terkandung dalam film horor Indonesia. Berbeda dengan era sebelumnya, terutama pada 1990an, film horor Indonesia lebih bercorak tradisional, dengan karakter (penokohan) yang kuat. Film horor masa kini cenderung urban, dimana aspek struktur teks visual menjadi lebih penting dibanding alur cerita. Erotisisme menjadi kian menonjol dengan bermacam sajian, terutama tubuh perempuan.

            Penelitian ini memilih lima judul film yang ditayangkan antara tahun 2009 hingga 2014 untuk disoroti sajian erotisismenya. Pembatasan dilakukan dengan memilih judul film yang menggunakan kata “perawan” sebagai reduksi atas objek penelitian. Dalam penelitian ini dibedakan mengenai kedudukan konsumen dan penonton film supaya tidak terjadi generalisasi dan demi menyelami makna-makna, dan juga pengaruh sajian erotisisme dalam film horor Indonesia bagi penikmatnya.

            Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut digunakan teori McGowan seputar film pasca teori Lacan ditambah berbagai literatur pendukung lainnya, yaitu penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya dengan topik film horor. Secara khusus teori tersebut dipakai untuk memahami korelasi antara teks visual pada film horor Indonesia dalam hubungannya dengan konsep teoritik antara hasrat dan fantasi yang dikemukakan McGowan. Penelitian ini tidak melihat aspek gender dan seksualitas dalam pengertian eksploitasi atas tubuh perempuan, tetapi lebih kepada jalinan antara subjek dan objek yang juga berangkat dari pandangan McGowan.

            Dari penelitian ini lahir berbagai asumsi yang menunjukkan hubungan kontras antara subjek dan objek, model sajian erotisisme dalam kengerian film horor Indonesia yang ternyata cenderung anti-klimaks, dan kualitas makna yang dihasilkan bagi penikmat. Itu semua berangkat dari analisis fragmentatif atas teks visual film. Ditemukan juga fakta bahwa pengalaman penikmat dalam menonton film horor Indonesia lebih sebagai pengalaman individual yang sulit terpecahkan. Meskipun demikian, karena pendekatan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif, maka penelitian ini tidak bertujuan mencari data yang valid, dan lebih memaparkan kecenderungan secara umum yang sifatnya dinamis. Erotisisme dalam kengerian film horor Indonesia adalah sebuah fakta yang sangat menarik dan belum pernah diteliti sebelumnya, dimana penelitian sebelumnya lebih banyak membahas seputar eksploitasi, gender, dan masalah hukum atas kaitan etika film dengan Lembaga Sensor.

EVALUASI SISTEM PEMANFAATAN TV EDUKASI UTILIZATION SYSTEM EVALUATION OF TV EDUKASI
Authors: Kurniawati Ika
Published: April 2019

Hasil penelitian terhadap TV Edukasi yang dilakukan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan siaran TV Edukasi oleh pengguna (dalam hal ini guru dan siswa) belum optimal, padahal upaya yang telah dilakukan oleh Kementerian melalui Pustekkom cukup maksimal terutama dalam mengatasi kendala akses, antara lain dengan mengupayakan siaran secara teresterial (kerjasama dengan TVRI dan TV Lokal), serta siaran dengan memanfaatkan layanan internet (streaming). Blum optimalnya pemanfaatan TV Edukasi disebabkan karena selama ini evaluasi maupun monitoring yang dilakukan terhadap TV Edukasi lebih banyak terkait dengan pemanfaatannya saja tanpa memperhatikan faktor-faktor yang berperan terhadap pemanfaatan itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan evaluasi implementasi siaran TV Edukasi secara komprehensif, tidak hanya dari sisi kebijakan, akses dan infrastruktur, tetapi juga dari sisi konten program, promosi serta dari sisi pengguna, sehingga informasi yang dihasilkan dapat digunakan untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan siaran TV Edukasi khususnya dalam meningkatkan jumlah pengguna TVE dan pengembangan sistem pemanfaatan TVE itu sendiri. Tujuan penulis mengangkat tema ini agar dalam melakukan evaluasi terhadap TV Edukasi selanjutnya dilakukan secara komprehensif agar dapat meningkatkan pemanfaatan TV Edukasi terutama dalam meningkatkan jumlah pengguna.The result of research conducted by Minister of Education and Culture indicates that the utilization of TV Edukasi by the users (in this case teachers and students) is not optimal, whereas efforts done by Minister of Education and Culture through Pustekkom were maximum enough especially in overcoming obstacles, such as by using terrestrial broadcast (in cooperation with local TVs and TVRI), as well as utilizing internet services streaming). The less optimal use of TV Edukasi might be due to the evaluation and monitoring conducted on TV Edukasi that focused more on the utilization itself non on the factors that contributed to the utilization. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive evaluation of TV Edukasi implementation that includes not only policy, access, and infrastructure, but also includes content, promotion and users, so that the information gathered can be used to optimize the utilization of TV Edukasi, especially to increase the amount of TV Edukasi users and to develop the TV Edukasi utilization system. The aim of this paper is to promote the comprehensive evaluation of TV Edukasi in order to increase the utilization of TV Edukasi particularly in the amount of user.
