MOSQUITOES AND THE ENVIRONMENT: SOME ECONOMIC COSTS OF MALARIA IN NIGERIA
Authors: AIGBODION F. I. , ANYIWE M. A.
Published: September 2023

The abundance of anopheline mosquitoes was investigated in various aquatic environments in the month of October 2003 in Benin-City using dippers. Four main types of environment: clean pools of water without algae; clean clear pools with algae; clean/semi polluted pools with slight laterite colour and algae; and polluted pools with refuse and algae were studied. Only pools with algae harboured anopheline larvae, those that were clean/semi-polluted with slight laterite colour and al.gae having the bulk (68.7%); followed by the clean dear pools with algae (22.5%); the least abundance occurred in polluted pools with refuse and algae (8.8%). The worry here is that there are too many cities in Nigeria with the same or even worse features as that of Benin; and there are too many cities that have pools with algae. This study is set out to find out, among other things whether the environmental management practices in Nigeria have targeted mosquitoes the vector of malaria effectively. The results indicate that there is need to strengthen environmental management in the current malaria control programme. It is therefore recommended that the regular inspection of the state of sanitation of the environments in and around cities (like in the colonial era) should be reintroduced among other strategies.

Nigeria as a country in West Africa is endowed with natural resources, good vegetation and weather conditions. The potentiality of bee-keeping and production of quality honey as a profitable venture in Lagos and its environs is purposely reviewed to boost honey and beeswax production in Nigeria. This may create job opportunities for the youths and the old people, particularly the retirees, if the Federal Government could be involved in the rearing of honeybees. honey extraction and processing, packaging and marketing of the products. As a result, subsidiary industries may spring up which may boost the economy of the country.
Evaluation of Marble Dust for Control of the Maize Weevil. Sitophilus zeatnais Motsch. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae
Authors: NWAUBANL S.I.
Published: September 2023

Marble stones obtained from a quarry in Okpella, Edo State, were manually ground, sieved into fine dust and tested under laboratory conditions in Sapele. Delta State. Nigeria, for efficacy against the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Morsch. At the rates of 2, 5 and 109 per 100 g maize. the marble dust effectively controlled adult S zeamais and reduced progeny production significantly (P<0.05). Weevils avoided contact with grains treated with the dust. In pilot scale study over 12-month duration, all rates of dust significantly (P < 0.05) suppressed S zeamais population growth and damage. Chemical analysis of the dust did not detect the presence of poisonous heavy metals such as lead (II) (Pb2+) and cadmium (II) (Cd2+). Prospects of integrating marble dust with other pest control measures were discussed.

Infestation and Damage Caused to Vitellaria paradoxa Gaertn, F. (Sapotaceae) by Cirina forda Westwood [Lepidoptera: Saturniidae J in Benue State, Nigeria.
Authors: AGBIDYE F. S. , OFUYA T. I. , AKINDELE S. O.
Published: September 2023

The infestation of sheabutter tree, Vitellaria paradoxa Gartner. F., by the pallid emperor moth, Cirinaforda Westwood, was studied from 2004-2006 in Aye Gber and Akaa Pila in Benue State, Nigeria. Observations were made on adult emergence from soil, copulation behaviour, oviposition, incubation period, larval density, feeding within tree canopy, damage, and natural enemies. Ten leaves were randomly selected from the lower, middle, and upper strata of the crown and the numbers of larvae on them were counted and transformed to (x + 0.5)1/2 for analysis. Defoliation was rated on a scale from 0-2 and transformed to Log 10 before analysis. Moths of C. forda emerged from the soil around the base of V. paradoxa from the last week of May in each year. Larval densities were high in the first two weeks of sampling, declining significantly thereafter. Larval density was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the lower stratum of the crown compared to the middle or upper stratum. Locational differences in larval density were not significant (tu>0.05) although numerically higher density was observed at Aye Gber than at Akaa Pila in 2004 -2006. The trees were partially defoliated in 2004 and 2005 but were completely defoliated in 2006 at both locations. Three insect predators: Crematogaster sp. nr perrisi, Camponotus sp. and Oecophylla longinoda (tailor ant) were noticed preying on C. forda eggs and larvae.

Authors: AJAYI F. A , RAHMAN S. A.
Published: September 2023

This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that perceptions of attributes of phytochemicals significantly influence their adoption for crop pest control by farmers in northern Nigeria. Primary data were collected from 560 farmers across seven States in 2007 and subjected to analysis using Tobit model. The results showed that among farmers’ specific factors, farming experience (b=0.91) and pest problem (b=0.48) significantly (P=0.05) influenced acceptance of plant-derived insecticide. Among plant product attributes, effectiveness (b=0.46), safety (b=0.43), and cheapness (b=0.42) influenced acceptance. It implies that further research to improve these attributes will enhance acceptance and use intensity of plant products for pest control.
The Impact of Preferred Arrest Policy for Domestic Violence on Reducing Female Victimization
Authors:   Korean Association of Victimology, Kang Bojeong , Kim Soyeon , Kim Jae-Kyung , Lee Soo-Jung
Published: September 2023

This study examines the relationship between arrest prioritization policies and arrests of domestic violence perpetrators and the number of female victims killed using a time series analysis, as well as the relationship between judicial action against domestic violence perpetrators and the number of female victims killed by male partners. Data on the number of female victims killed by their male partners came from the Korea Women's Helpline, and data on the number of female homicide victims came from the National Police Agency, including arrests of domestic violence perpetrators. The intervention analysis in time series with ARIMA model and Bayesian Structural Time-Series model(BSTS) showed that the number of arrests of domestic violence perpetrators increased significantly after implementing the arrest prioritization policy in 2013, but the number of female homicide victims decreased without a significant effect. The number of female victims killed by their male partners was inversely related to domestic violence-related measures, with the number of female victims decreasing as the number of arrests increased. An essential aspect of this study is the use of ARIMA intervention time series and BSTS in assessing the effectiveness of national crime prevention measures, as well as testing the impact of arrest prioritization on domestic violence offenses.
A Study on the Legislative Improvements of Personal Information Protection of Domestic Violence Victims: Focusing on the restrictive system of issuing certificates under the Act on Registration of Family Relations
Authors:   Korean Association of Victimology, Kim Min-Ji
Published: September 2023

According to the Inconsistency with the Constitution on the part relating to “request of the issuance of a family relation certificate and an identification certificate by lineal blood relatives among certificates prescribed in Article 15” in the main clause of Article 14 (1) of the Act on Registration of Family Relations, the Act on Registration of Family Relations was amended to limit the issuance of certificates and disclosure of information to be entered to persons designated by domestic violence victims and has been in effect since January 1, 2022. This amendment is important in that victims of domestic violence were given control of personal information under the Act on Registration of Family Relations.
However, limitations may point out in that the 2022 revised Family Relations Registration Act is not easy to understand due to its complexity and lacks protection of the interests of those subject to disclosure restrictions, not domestic violence offenders. Furthermore, further improvement is required considering the need to protect personal information in our current society, the increased risk of leakage due to strengthening access to personal information, and changes in public perception of families. Accordingly, in the short-term improvement direction, it was proposed to add immediate notification and periodic verification procedures, and to apply the system to protect personal information of crime victims other than domestic violence. A plan to reduce the scope of claimants for issuance of certificates was proposed as a mid- to long-term improvement direction.
Based on the improvement direction proposed, the 2022 revised Family Relations Registration Act will play a role as an effective system for actively guaranteeing personal information of domestic violence victims, suppress the misuse, abuse, and leakage of personal information and aim for the legitimate use of personal information. under the Act on Registration of Family Relations.
Shape and orientation classification of objects based on their electromagnetic signatures using convolutional neural networks
Authors: Zaky Yasmina , fortino nicolas , Miramond Benoit , Dauvignac Jean-Yves
Published: September 2023

This study addresses the classification of objects using their electromagnetic signatures with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained on noiseless data. The singularity expansion method (SEM) was applied to establish a compact model that accurately represents the ultra-wideband scattered field of an object, independently of its orientation and observation angle. To perform the classification, we used a CNN associated with a noise-robust SEM technique to classify different objects based on their characteristic parameters. To validate this approach, we compared the performance of the classifier with and without SEM pre-processing of the scattered field for different noise levels and for object sizes not present in the training set. Moreover, we propose a procedure that determines the direction of the receiving antenna and orientation of an object based on the residues associated with each complex natural resonance. This classification procedure using pre-processed SEM data is promising, especially when generalizing to object sizes not included in the training set.

Exact Results for the Distribution of the Partial Busy Period for a Multi-Server Queue
Authors: Zuk Josef , Kirszenblat David
Published: September 2023

Exact explicit results are derived for the distribution of the partial busy period of the M/M/c multi-server queue for a general number of servers. A rudimentary spectral method leads to a representation that is amenable to efficient numerical computation across the entire ergodic region. An alternative algebraic approach yields a representation as a finite sum of Marcum Q-functions depending on the roots of certain polynomials that are explicitly determined for an arbitrary number of servers. Asymptotic forms are derived in the limit of a large number of servers under two scaling regimes, and also for the large-time limit. Connections are made with previous work. The present work is the first to offer tangible exact results for the distribution when the number of servers is greater than two.

How and When Does Leadership Mentoring Benefit Female Protégés’ Leadership Development? Evidence from South Korea
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Personnel Administration, Joo Min-Kyu , Yu Gyu-Chang , Atwater Leanne
Published: September 2023

Scholars have contended that paying theoretical attention to leadership development as a construct is necessary to fully understand how people become good leaders. In this study, we attempt to address a call for continuous efforts to integrate social cognitive theory to help fill the void in our understanding of the effectiveness of leadership mentoring designed to foster female protégés’ leadership self-efficacy and motivation to lead. We examined an underlying mechanism through which leadership mentoring affects female protégés’ leadership development (i.e., self-efficacy) and the roles of personality in the relationship between leadership mentoring and motivation to lead. We collected data from nine organizations in South Korea. We found that leadership mentoring was positively related to female protégés’ motivation to lead through strengthened leadership self-efficacy. In addition, female protégés who were higher on openness and conscientiousness obtained more benefits from leadership mentoring than those who were lower. We provide theoretical and practical implications to help break the glass ceiling in South Korea and elsewhere.
Emotions in language learning and use - 6th International pedagogical and linguistic conference, Ulm University, Germany
Authors:   Ateneum Academy in Gdańsk, Poland, Liwo Helena
Published: September 2023

The significance of language and speech in human functioning is enormous. The human society developed speech as a means of communication and, consequently, the relationships based on language. Language also determines a person’s social situation, providing an opportunity to take on specific and professional roles. In this case, it serves as a foundation or necessary tool to enter the social network and occupy a specific position within it. On the other hand, language is an attribute of individual human activity. It plays a crucial role in the creation of human subjectivity. Constructing a subject means giving meaning and internalizing linguistic concepts, as well as discovering one’s own personal relationship to these concepts. The subject’s experiences in these relationships become a path to self-identication and, consequently, to the acquisition of one’s identity (Liwo 2012, 195).

This paper reflects on the issues of informal and non-institutional practices of language learning in digital environments. In this qualitative and longitudinal case study, authentic language materials were used by two adult learners for their development of Italian language skills and multilingual competencies through Personal Multilingual Dictionary Design (Italian/English/Greek/Serbian). The authentic materials included three editions (500 episodes) of the most famous show “É sempre mezzogiorno” (“It is Always Noon”) by the Italian public television service “Rai” (2020/2023). The choice of the video materials, as learning materials, was based on the interests and personal preferences of the learners, highly interested, involved and committed to language learning and the development of multilingual literacy. Affective processes underlying the development of multilingual competence through collaborative learning tasks are examined and discussed. In conclusion, several areas of multimodal literacies are highlighted, with potential guidance in envisioning future research processes. / Keywords: authentic video content, informal foreign language learning, Italian language, multilingual competence

O vitiligo é uma doença de causa desconhecida adquirida, na qual ocorre a destruição seletiva das células produtoras de melanina (melanócitos) e é caracterizado por manchas despigmentadas que podem variar de número, tamanho, formas e local. O vitiligo é uma doença multifatorial que possui hipóteses genéticas, autoimunes e ambientais quanto a sua etiopatogenia, sendo a hipótese autoimune a mais aceita (Furtado, Oliveira & Muller, 2017). O local de início das lesões despigmentadas e a sua distribuição costuma-se atingir com mais frequência a região da cabeça, membros e tronco, respectivamente e os menos afetados são as membranas mucosas. A média de idade de início da doença é em torno da segunda até a terceira década de vida (Nunes & Esser, 2011).

O vitiligo se divide em dois grupos, que são eles o não segmentar e o segmentar. O tipo não segmentar compreende as formas focal, mucosal, acrofacial, comum e universal. Já o grupo segmentar tem apenas o tipo clínico segmentar, que afeta geralmente apenas um hemicorpo e tem uma resposta mais lenta ao tratamento não cirúrgico do que o tipo não segmentar. Sobre o diagnostico da doença, cabe ressaltar que o histórico do paciente e exames físicos constituem a base da investigação. Um método que auxilia no diagnostico é a biopsia cutânea que revela a ausência de melanócitos nas zonas afetadas, outro exame fundamental é o exame feito com lâmpada de Wood nos pacientes com pele branca, para a melhor detecção das áreas acometidas (LOPES, 2006).

O tratamento do vitiligo é fazer com que a doença não progrida, além de estimular a pigmentação.  Os corticoides tópicos em monoterapia constituem a primeira linha no tratamento do vitiligo instável localizado, sendo as lesões recentes e as lesões da face as que apresentam melhor resposta. Além disso, os inibidores de calcineurina mostraram‐se eficazes e seguros no tratamento do vitiligo tanto em crianças quanto em adultos, além da fototerapia e do Excimer laser que apresentaram bons resultados no tratamento do vitiligo.

Published: September 2023

A preocupação com os recursos hídricos está aumentando devido à menor disponibilidade de água e ao aumento da demanda. Diante disso, a Segurança Hídrica (SH) foi criada para aprimorar a segurança desses recursos e proteger contra os impactos causados pelas mudanças climáticas. Dessa forma, o presente estudo traz uma análise bibliométrica da temática ‘‘Segurança Hídrica’’, que está presente no acervo principal da Web of Science. De fato, essa temática representa um total de 965 publicações distribuídas no período entre 1993 a 2022. Por meio da investigação das informações disponíveis, nas quais o termo ‘‘water security index’’ estava contido em seus títulos, apenas os documentos dos tipos artigo, artigo de conferência, artigo de revisão e artigo com acesso antecipado foram considerados no estudo. Como ferramenta de análise, empregaram-se dois pacotes de software: o aplicativo Biblioshiny, que pode ser acessado no pacote Bibliometrix de R, e o VOSviewer. Em seguida, os resultados foram analisados quanto aos níveis de autores, fontes e documentos referentes ao número de publicações, citações totais, índices de impacto, redes de colaboração e ocorrência de palavras-chave. Essa análise mostrou uma tendência clara de crescimento do interesse da comunidade científica no tema SH, bem como subsidiou uma discussão acerca dos desafios a serem enfrentados no contexto global e brasileiro.

Rabbit industry, being an advanced and highly profitable branch of animal industry, is one of the business barometers for a country. Though 78,5 % of rabbit meat is produced in Russia is produced by individual farmers, intensity of industrial rabbit breeding is growing. Feeding management underlies any branch of animal industry, since the cost of feeding takes 60–70 % of all branch expenses, and, what is more, over 90 % of animals diseases are the result of the errors in their feeding. At the end of 2020, rabbit meat production in Russia amounted to 19,6 thousand tons. During the 2016–2020 period it increased by 8 %. All over the world, scientists pay special attention to the nutrient and energy requirements of rearing, pregnant and lactating rabbits, since just these animals determine the reproduction process and, finally, production output. The review analyzes the results of scientific research on feeding rabbits during the reproduction period with complete granular compound feeds with different ratios of nutrients and energy. The authors note that the digestible energy and protein levels of the pregnant rabbit diets in Russian and foreign experiments are the same, while the fiber level differs significantly. Since researchers all over the world are concerned about the same problems of optimizing the rabbit feeding, the joint discussion of research results, especially when the scientists belong to different scientific schools, opens up new horizons for achieving goals and practical use of the new knowledge gained.

Receiving the right political system for afghanistan
Authors:   Farahuddin Chaghaty
Published: September 2023

This research, which has focused on finding a suitable political system for Afghanistan, has described discussions such as (explaining the concept of political system and structure, parliamentary system, advantages and disadvantages of parliamentary system, presidential system, advantages and disadvantages of parliamentary system and criticism of the current political system of Afghanistan). At the beginning of the research, we will get acquainted with the familiar discussion of the political system and structure, the comparison of the parliamentary system and the presidential system. In the era of globalization, countries experienced different systems from the centralized presidential system to the decentralized federal system, which in their nature have opponents and but the case and goal we are looking for is to get the right system, most of the scientists and writers expressed their opinion that the parliamentary system was more efficient in most of the countries that are transitioning towards modern democracy, compared to the centralized presidential system. End and the result that magnifies the current research is that the parliamentary system and the presidential system each have their own positive and negative points (advantages and shortcomings) that both of these systems are now clearly experienced in most countries of the world, which is a good example. The presidential system can be seen in the United States and a good example of the parliamentary system can be seen in the British political structure. But! The experiences gained from the experience of the parliamentary system in the majority of countries indicate that a non-centralized parliamentary system can be a good answer in the discussion of good governance and the experience of modern democracy in multi-ethnic and multi-racial societies like Afghanistan. According to the theory of separation of powers, the parliamentary system has better flexibility than the presidential system, which can prevent the tension between the two main branches of government (legislature, executive) and bring stability to most societies.
Application fischer-tropsch synthesis: a review

Published: September 2023

This work was to evaluate the catalytic properties Ru/Cobalt/SBA-15 catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The molecular sieve SBA-15 synthesized by hydrothermal method with rice husk ashes (RHA) and with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The Ru promoted Co/SBA-15 catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation method and was characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray energy dispersion spectrophotometer, N2 adsorption-desorption, temperature-programmed reduction and transmission electron microscopy. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using the catalysts were carried out to evaluate the catalysts activities and its effect on FTS product distribution. The synthesis was carried out in a slurry reactor operating at 513 K, 20 atm, CO : H2 molar ratio of 1 : 2. X-ray diffraction showed that the calcined cobalt catalyst did not modify the structure of SBA-15, proving that Co was present under the form of Co3O4 in the catalyst. The addition of cobalt in SBA-15 decreased the specific superficial area of the molecular sieve. By RTP results was found the ranges of temperature reduction typical of iron oxides phases. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis activity and C5+hydrocarbon selectivity increased with the addition of Ru. The increases in activity and selectivity were attributed to the increased number of active sites resulting from higher reducibility and the synergetic effect of Ru and Co. The most interesting fact to be pointed out is that the use of this catalytic system for the catalyst prepared with alternative source of silica and cheap (rice hull ash) showed high selectivity in liquid products, that is, in hydrocarbons with C5+ (88.2% w/w), higher than the catalyst prepared with conventional silica source.

A subcube partition is a partition of the Boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$ into subcubes. A subcube partition is irreducible if the only sub-partitions whose union is a subcube are singletons and the entire partition. A subcube partition is tight if it “mentions” all coordinates.

We study extremal properties of tight irreducible subcube partitions: minimal size, minimal weight, maximal number of points, maximal size, and maximal minimum dimension. We also consider the existence of homogeneous tight irreducible subcube partitions, in which all subcubes have the same dimensions. We additionally study subcube partitions of $\{0,\dots,q-1\}^n$, and partitions of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ into affine subspaces, in both cases focusing on the minimal size.

Our constructions and computer experiments lead to several conjectures on the extremal values of the aforementioned properties.

Teknologi zaman ini begitu canggih dan semakin memudahkan kehidupan manusia karena aksesnya yang sangat mudah, sehingga bisa dilakukan kapan pun dan dimana pun. Zaman ini disebut era digital karena semua informasi sangat mudah dan cepat diperoleh serta disebarluaskan menggunakan sebuah sistem yang terhubung dengan internet. Salah satu yang sedang populer di era ini adalah media sosial, tempat untuk melakukan interaksi di dunia maya. Pelaksanaan program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk melaksanakan pemaparan tentang peran orang tua dalam mendidik anak di era digital kepada ibu-ibu PKK di kecamatan Cimahi Utara supaya meningkatkan pemahaman, pengetahuan, dan pengalaman bagi para orang tua di era digital ini. Target khusus kami yaitu kepada para ibu-ibu PKK setempat yang diharapkan dapat memahami dan   mengetahui bagaiamana cara yang tepat menerapkan sebuah pola asuh di era digital seperti saat ini dan tidak ada batasan usia bagi para pengguna media sosial, sehingga bisa diakses oleh siapa pun. Karena kebebasannya tersebut membuat sebagian besar anak dibawah umur menggunakannya tanpa diawasi oleh orang tua. Karena kurangnya pengawasan tersebut, menyebabkan anak-anak bebas memasuki dunia maya dengan sesuka hati, itu lah yang menyebabkan anak-anak mengakses berbagai konten yang tidak sesuai dengan usianya. Dengan kemudahan di   era ini juga anak-anak dan remaja terkadang malas untuk membaca dan belajar, karena mereka sudah mengetahui bagaimana cara mencari jawaban di internet. Selain itu, anak-anak jadi kurang memiliki tata karma kepada orang yang lebih tua karena mereka sering meniru sikap dan perilaku orang dewasa yang mereka tonton dari konten media sosial. Dengan melihat fenomena tersebut maka orang tua harus menjadi agen pertama dalam mendidik anak di era digital saat ini. Supaya anak memiliki kendali dan dapat mengetahui tentang kehidupan di era ini. Tidak selalu anak yang harus lebih unggul dibandikan orang tuannya, tetapi orang tua pun harus lebih cerdas di masa kini agar bisa membentuk karakter anak dengan baik.

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini membahas tentang sosialisasi waspada hoaks dan penanganannya dalam era digital. Fenomena hoaks yang meresahkan dan dampak negatifnya mendorong perlunya pendidikan literasi digital untuk mengatasi penyebaran informasi palsu. Program ini menggabungkan berbagai metode, termasuk workshop literasi digital, seminar, kompetisi literasi digital, dan distribusi materi edukatif, untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengenali serta menghindari hoaks. Hasil dari program ini mencakup peningkatan kesadaran yang signifikan terkait bahaya hoaks, keterampilan verifikasi informasi yang lebih baik, dan partisipasi aktif dalam kompetisi literasi digital. Melalui interaksi dengan para ahli dalam seminar dan diskusi publik, terbentuk kolaborasi dan jaringan yang kuat dalam mengatasi hoaks. Distribusi materi edukatif seperti pamflet, brosur, dan infografis juga mempermudah akses masyarakat terhadap informasi penting. Program ini menghasilkan transformasi positif dalam pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat terhadap hoaks. Namun, tantangan dalam mengatasi hoaks tetap berkelanjutan, memerlukan dukungan berkelanjutan dari lembaga pendidikan, media, pemerintah, dan masyarakat. Dengan terus mengembangkan pendekatan yang relevan dengan perkembangan teknologi, masyarakat dapat menghadapi dampak negatif hoaks secara efektif, menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih cerdas, aman, dan beretika dalam menghadapi dunia informasi yang semakin kompleks.

Tujuan dari pelaksanaan program Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini adalah dengan melaksanakan kegiatan “Pentingnya Pencatatan Dan Pengarsipan Dokumen Hasil Kegiatan Posyandu di Desa Ciburial”. Dengan ini, kami bertujuan untuk menjelaskan kepada audiens materi tentang tata cara pencatatan dokumen, serta memberikan wawasan kepada audiens untuk dapat mengarsip dokumen yang telah di catat. Penelitian ini menggunakan survei analitik cross-sectional untuk menyelidiki dinamika korelasi antara faktor-faktor risiko dengan efek. Ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan point-time atau dengan melakukan observasi atau mengumpulkan data sekaligus. Dalam arti lain, setiap subjek peneliatian hanya diamati sekali. Dengan demikian, ini tidak berarti bahwa semua subjek penelitian diamati pada waktu yang sama. Sampel dalam penelitian ini Sebagian besar penduduk desa Ciburial atau anggota para kader yang menjadi panitia terselenggaranya kegiatan Posyandu yang berada di Desa Ciburial kecamatan Cimenyan Kabupaten Bandung. Hasil dari pelaksanaan kegiatan rutin posyandu yang telah dirancang setiap bulan oleh para kader kegiatan posyandu berjalan dengan lancar. Namun, pengolahan data yang digunakan masih secara manual yang memiliki banyak kelemahan, selain memakan waktu lebih lama, juga kurang akurat karena tingginya kemungkinan terjadinya kesalahan. Oleh karena itu, kami membantu membuat pencatatan dan pengarsipan secara digital untuk meminimalisir masalah yang ada. Dokumen dibuat dalam bentuk Microsoft Excel dan PDF yang digunakan sebagai pendukung sistem manual tersebut, dengan demikian pencatatan dan pengarsipan lebih terorganisir.
