Published: August 2023

Financial support is the basic need of a society to fulfil its economic requirements. But due to the limited resources, it is not possible for the governments of poor countries to perform sustainable tasks for the betterment of human society. This paper examines the significance of social entrepreneurs who establish their businesses to resolve social, cultural, or environmental issues while taking higher financial risks. This act of social entrepreneurship is the novelty of this study. Moreover, this study adds to the body of knowledge by contrasting the Islamic perspective of Social Entrepreneurship with contemporary thoughts. The science-direct and google-scholars databases have been used for reviewing the data collection. The study may provide a benchmark to assist government policymakers. This paper is also discussing the Islamic perspective of social entrepreneurship.
Unlocking the Secret to Business Success: Analysing the Impact of Personnel Knowledge through Structural Equation Model
Authors: Hameed Abdul , Ali Tariq Mahmood
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the perceptions of business managers in the furniture sector regarding the relationship between business success and personnel knowledge. To achieve this goal, the study will use a quantities research approach to collect data from business managers working in different furniture sector in District Chiniot, Lahore, and Gujrat. The study used a measurement technique called Likert scale and included a variable that cannot be directly observed, called a latent variable that’s why used statistical model called Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). According to the findings of the study, certain factors have a significant impact on both personnel knowledge and business success. Specifically, the results indicated that management practices related to safety regulations, regulation laws, motivation of personnel, total quality management, product certification, and competitive positioning are highly correlated with personnel knowledge. This suggests that when these management practices are implemented effectively, employees are more likely to have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their job duties efficiently, which can ultimately contribute to the success of the business. On the other hand, the study also found that factors such as new product development, sales abilities, total quality management, competitive positioning, and product pricing are highly associated with changes in business success. This means that when business focus on improving these areas, they are more likely to see positive changes in their overall success and performance. To begin an effort focused on enhancing skills, it is essential to first concentrate on owners by offering them excellent training services. These services should produce concrete improvements in productivity and illustrate the significance of skill improvement.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is one of the most powerful analytical techniques for the identification of molecules in microelectronics industry for failure analysis protocols. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is one of the most powerful analytical techniques for the identification of molecules in the microelectronics industry for failure analysis protocols. In this work, dry-processed gold nanoclusters were prepared by magnetron sputtering deposition to promote the enhancement of the Raman signal from selected common polymers found in the hard disk drive as surface contamination. The optimized sputtering conditions were applied for SERS on poly-carbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The Raman spectrum showed the average Raman signal intensity gain at about 114%, 78%, 254%, and 226%, respectively. The SERS with gold nanoclusters, prepared by magnetron sputtering, demonstrates that this method is a clean, simple, highly performing analytical method for failure analysis and can be an alternative method over the use of colloidal gold nanoparticles for contamination investigation in industrial failure analysis procedures, where the sample cleanness during the analysis is critical, as in the microelectronic industry.

Authors: R Bella Agatha Fernando , Budiarsih Budiarsih
Published: August 2023

Background.  In order to protect themselves from the possibility of being arrested and subjected to criminal penalties, doctors developed defensive medicine, which is currently being widely applied by many doctors. This is motivated by a situation where the patient is dissatisfied with the results of the medical action that has been carried out and complains about this to the police and some patients often do not want to use the mediation first, then cases like this will end up in court.
Purpose. The purpose of this research is to explain how responsibility is imposed on doctors for medical disputes and violations that occur to patients.
Method. This type of research is normative, the writer also uses statute approach and conceptual approach to analyze the issue.
Results. Based on the background problems, the results obtained from this research are that a doctor who has carried out their duties in accordance with professional standards, service standards, and standard operating procedures is entitled to legal protection.
Conclusion. An action can be said to be malpractice if an element of negligence is found in the medical action, whereas in medical risk there is no element of negligence. That if a mistake cannot be found, the doctor cannot be held responsible.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da aplicação de diferentes doses de ureia no desenvolvimento da alface crespa (L. sativa L.)  cultivada em vasos num ambiente fechado. Um dos fatores mais importantes para o sucesso da cultura da alface é a adubação. Trata-se de uma cultura bastante exigente em nutrientes e, em especial, o nitrogênio. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualisado (DIC), foram utilizados vinte vasos, que foram divididos em quatro tratamentos e cada tratamento com cinco repetições, no tratamento um (T1) foi utilizado apenas solo, no T2 foi utilizado solo + 5 gramas de ureia, no T3 foi utilizado solo + 10 gramas de ureia e no T4 foi utilizado solo + 15 gramas de ureia, todas as dosagens foram diluídas em 2,5 litros de água e adcionada em cada repetição 0,5 litros da solução. A aplicação foi feita por uma única vez 10 dias após o plantio. As variáveis de pré-colheita avaliadas foram:  altura da planta (AP), diâmetro do caule (DC) e o número de folhas (NF).  Na pós-colheita as variáveis foram:  massa fresca (MF), tamanho da raiz (TR) e tamanho total (TT). O tratamento com 10 gramas de ureia apresentou a melhor resposta para as variáveis diâmetro do caule (DC), número de folhas (NF) e massa fresca (MF). O tratamento com 5 gramas de ureia apresentou o melhor resultado para a variável tamanho total, as demais variáveis não apresentaram diferença significativa frente a nenhum tratamento.

Projektując roboty i badania geologiczne złoża kopaliny zakłada się uzyskanie pożądanej dokładności (kategorii) rozpoznania budowy geologicznej, warunków hydrogeologicznych, geologiczno-inżynierskich i innych, określanych hasłowo warunkami geologiczno-górniczymi. Chociaż dokładność rozpoznania złoża w takim zakresie da się przedstawić głównie w formie opisowej i graficznej, prowadzi to jednak do odpowiednio dokładnego obliczenia zasobów kopaliny i średnich parametrów złoża, a niekiedy także liczbowo przedstawianej charakterystyki zmienności parametrów złoża i cech kopaliny. Obliczając zasoby i średnie parametry złoża podczas sporządzania dokumentacji geologicznej złoża kopaliny na lądzie opieramy się na populacji danych uzyskanych bezpośrednio z profili geologicznych otworów i odsłonięć oraz z badań próbek pobranych z tych profili. Dane te pozwalają w prosty sposób na obliczenie błędów oszacowania średnich parametrów złoża i zasobów, co jest wymagane przez stosowne przepisy. Obliczone wielkości błędów wskazują na rozpoznanie złoża w określonej kategorii. Jest to szczególnie ważne w kategorii rozpoznania C1, która pozwala na opracowanie projektu zagospodarowania złoża, niezbędnego dla ubiegania się o koncesję na wydobycie kopaliny. Metodyka badań złóż kruszywa naturalnego położonych na dnie Morza Bałtyckiego jest nieco inna. Podstawowymi są badania geofizyczne, sejsmoakustyczne oraz sonarowe. Wiercenia wykonuje się w mniejszej liczbie, niż na lądzie i do maksymalnych głębokości wynikających z możliwości technicznych oraz ograniczeń środowiskowych. Położenie naturalnego spąguzłoża nie ma praktycznie wpływu na głębokość wierceń. Strop złoża stanowi zawsze powierzchnia dna morskiego dająca się odwzorować na mapie z dokładnością niemal rzeczywistą. Powierzchnię naturalnego spągu serii złożowej obrazują głównie dane z gęstej siatki profili sejsmoakustycznych. Rdzenie profili wykonanych wierceń służą przede wszystkim do opisu litologii kopaliny oraz do poboru próbek do badań laboratoryjnych.Większość złóż kruszywa udokumentowanych na dnie Bałtyku, w jego części będącej we władaniu Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej, jest rozpoznana w kategorii C2, mniej dokładnej, niż kategoria C1. Analizy dokładności oszacowania średnich parametrów złoża i zasobów nie były wykonane, ponieważ nie było to formalnie wymagane. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą znalezienia sposobu dokonania takiej analizy metodami matematycznymi, uwzględniającymi specyfikę metodyki badań morskich.
A case of pseudogout attack after zoledronic acid treatment in primary hyperparathyroidism
Authors: Coşkun Meriç
Published: August 2023

Pseudogout (PG) is an inflammatory arthropathy that develops due to the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in synovial structures. Herein, we present a 59-year-old male patient with PG developed as a result of zoledronic acid (ZA) infusion, which was administered due to primary hyperparathyroidism. The patient with parathyroid adenoma was given ZA since the calcium level did not decrease despite intravenous saline and loop diuretic. One day after ZA administration, the patient had severe pain, fever, and swelling in joints. The radiograph showed chondrocalcinosis. Calcium pyrophosphate deposition were observed in the arthrocentesis fluid under polarized light. The patient’s symptoms regressed after anakinra and colchicine treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a PG attack after ZA treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Additionally, there have been few cases of PG after bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis in the literature, signifying that more care should be taken when administering bisphosphonate therapy in patients with risk factors.
The effectiveness of peroneal nerve stimulation combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the management of knee osteoarthritis: A randomized controlled single-blind study
Authors: Yeşilöz Özgür
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with peroneal nerve stimulation (PNS) on muscle strength around the knee, proprioception, pain, functional status, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Patients and methods: The prospective, randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial included 63 patients with clinical and radiological diagnoses of knee OA between December 2019 and March 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (NMES+PNS, n=31) and Group 2 (NMES, n=32). The patients were followed up at two and six weeks. Main outcome measures were the Visual Analog Scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, Nottingham Health Profile, and 100-m walking test, quadriceps muscle strength, hamstring muscle strength (HMS), and joint position sense were evaluated using a computer-controlled isokinetic dynamometer at 60°/sec, 90°/sec, and 120°/sec angular velocities. The proprioception was evaluated at 30° and 60° flexion angles using the same device. Results: Two patients from Group 1 and two patients from Group 2 were excluded from the study after they failed to show up for the six-week control. As a result, the study was completed with 59 patients (30 females, 29 males; 55.9±6.1 years; range, 40 to 65 years). There was a significant difference between the two groups in the 100-m walking test parameter at the six-week control in favor of Group 1 (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in favor of Group 1 in the parameters of proprioception (30° and 60°) and HMS (60° and 90°) in both the two-week evaluation and six-week controls (p<0.05). The HMS 120° parameter showed a significant difference in favor of Group 1 at the six-week control (p<0.05). Conclusion: In patients with knee OA, we believe that PNS combined with NMES may be more effective than NMES treatment alone in terms of proprioception, HMS, and functional status.
Comparison of the efficacy of oxygen-ozone and lidocaine injections in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome: A randomized clinical trial
Authors: Korkmaz Nurdan
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This study aims to compare effectiveness of oxygen-ozone injection versus lidocaine injection on the trigger point in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Patients and methods: Between April 2021 and December 2021, a total of 46 patients with MPS (8 males, 38 females; mean age: 44.7±10.4 years; range, 25 to 65 years) were included. The patients were randomized to either ozone injection (n=23) or lidocaine injection (n=23) groups. All injections were administered once a week for three consecutive weeks. The primary outcome measure was the pain severity assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Secondary outcome measures were cervical lateral flexion range of motion (ROM), pain score (PS), and Neck Disability Index (NDI). The measurements were performed before the treatment, and at four and 12 weeks after treatment. Results: There was a significant effect of time for VAS, PS, and NDI scores in both groups. Compared to baseline versus Weeks 4 and 12, the VAS, PS, and NDI scores significantly decreased over time in both groups (p<0.001 for all). A significant group ¥ time interaction was identified regarding the VAS scores. The mean difference in the VAS scores over time was significantly higher in the lidocaine group compared to the oxygen-ozone group (p=0.028). Conclusion: Oxygen-ozone and lidocaine injections of the trigger point can effectively improve pain and functional status. However, lidocaine injection appears to be superior in reducing pain compared to oxygen-ozone injection, but is not superior in improving function and PS.

Published: August 2023

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) deve ser a porta de entrada preferencial do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) que, por meio da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), tem o papel de coordenar o cuidado aos grupos sociais vulnerabilizados nos territórios. No entanto, estudos apontam que as equipes de APS estão despreparadas para prestar um cuidado humanizado, que respeite e acolha a população LGBTQIAPN+, compreendendo as suas necessidades de saúde. Este estudo analisou as evidências de profissionais da ESF, no município da Bahia, sobre as necessidades de saúde da população LGBTQIAPN+. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo exploratório, mediante entrevistas com 18 profissionais de saúde integrantes das Equipes de Saúde da Família (EqSF). O processamento dos dados ocorreu no Software QRS Nvivo 12 e a análise foi como referência categorias teóricas da Teoria das Necessidades de Agnes Heller, a saber sendo elaboradas as seguintes categorias: necessidades de saúde, necessidade de serviços de saúde, necessidades naturais e radicais. Profissionais de saúde das EqSF não reconheciam as necessidades de saúde da comunidade LGBTQIAPN+, de forma integral, secundarizando-as ao plano biomédico. As necessidades de serviços de saúde eram invisibilizadas e frequentemente associadas a demandas da população em geral, sem uma abordagem equitativa. Já as necessidades de saúde naturais e radicais, dificilmente foram explicadas pelos profissionais, cujo padrão heterocisnormativo dominava a racionalidade de cuidado nas EqSF e distanciava os serviços de uma abordagem centrada nos determinantes sociais da saúde. Os resultados deste estudo foram tolerantes para identificação das restrições de profissionais das EqSF em ofertar uma atenção baseada na equidade e igualdade. Novos estudos são necessários para avaliar as demandas, necessidades e singularidades das comunidades LGBTQIAPN+, principalmente, na APS.
Impacts of Export Bans and Seasonality on Maize Price Transmission Between Selected Deficit and Surplus Markets in Tanzania: Evidence from Sumbawanga Market
Authors: Sitima Florence , Mduma John
Published: August 2023

Using maize prices data from Tanzania’s National Bureau of Statistics from 2002through 2017, this paper analyses the impacts of export bans and seasonality onspatial domestic price transmission between deficit markets and the surplusSumbawanga market; using a vector error correction (VEC) model with export banand seasonality dummy variables. Results show that 45% of deficit markets convergedin the long-run with the Sumbawanga market, with a significant negative sign at 10%level. Moreover, 64% of market pairs negatively impacted spatial domestic pricetransmission, while seasonality had significant impacts on the same between marketpairs. A Granger causality suggests that 63%, 27%, and 10% of market pairs were bidirectional, unidirectional and no causality, respectively. Thus, government policiesshould incline towards increaseing maize production rather than imposing ad-hocexport bans, improving storage facilities, and mitigating climate changes to insulateseasonality: all of which will—through market mechanism—moderate consumerprices and ensure profitability among maize sellers.JEL Classification: Q17, M38
Agriculture-led Industrialization for Inclusive Growth in Tanzania
Authors: Mtui John
Published: August 2023

This study analyses the interdependence between industry and agriculture sectors forsocio-economic development and poverty reduction in Tanzania during the 1970–2018period. The study used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testapproach and Granger causality test to uncover the relationship. The study found astable short-run and long-run relationships between agriculture and industrialsectors. Gross fixed capital formation and trade openness have significant short-runand long-run relationship with the growth of the industrial sector. While inflationaffect positively industrial growth in the short-run, its impact in the long-run isnegative. Moreover, there is a bi-directional causality between agriculture andindustrial sectors. Given the importance of agriculture to industrialisation andinclusive growth, the study recommends policies, strategies and further efforts toincrease agriculture productivity, output and income. The industrialization policy, asbroad as it may be, must build the nexus between the agriculture, manufacturing andother non-farm rural sectors. Equally important is the need to put in place a conduciveenvironment for promoting investment in both industry and agriculture sectors.JEL Classification: Q18; L16; I31.

Published: August 2023

San Juan de Miraflores tiene una historia distrital reciente, la cual se remonta al 12 de enero de 1965 y si queremos remontarnos al origen de sus primeros pobladores, este suceso se produjo un 24 de diciembre de 1954 en plena noche de navidad, cuando dichas tierras formaban parte de la jurisdicción del actual distrito de Santiago de Surco.  El estudio recoge el testimonio escrito y oral de varios de los actores quienes participaron del proceso histórico del distrito y también maneja cifras de la cuantificación de la población y el incremento progresivo del mismo a lo largo de su historia. Para finalizar, podemos afirmar que el espacio que hoy comprende el distrito de San Juan de Miraflores presentó tres momentos: 1) Durante el gobierno del presidente Manuel A. Odría (1948 a 1956); 2) El reconocimiento distrital de San Juan de Miraflores el 12 de enero de 1965; 3) El gobierno de Juan Velasco Alvarado (1968 a 1975), quien vio en la lucha del pueblo la oportunidad para sustentar su revolución que partía desde el Estado.

Published: August 2023

Auto-GPT is a product of an experimental project that makes the use of GPT-4 autonomous. Notably, Auto-GPT emerged and spread rapidly, while the echo of OpenAI's ChatGPT continues. However, there are insufficient studies on this new application in related literature. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to explore the different use cases and experiences of Auto-GPT users. For this purpose, 16 users with an Auto-GPT experience on the GitHub platform were interviewed. Thematic content analysis was performed on the qualitative data. AutoGPT experiences of users can be characterized by learning programs, autonomous applications, conducting research, and writing reports. The results of this study showed that content creation is the most important purpose of using Auto-GPT. As independent research functions of Auto-GPT, users also emphasize data summarization and information organization. However, the participants also pointed out the token limit (inefficiency), forgetting generated tools, and iteration as some prominent limitations of Auto-GPT. It is possible to say that Auto-GPT has a high potential to use in also in educational purpose, but it is still in the development stage.
Salience of community radio on climate change risks in rural Kenya: A case of Migori County
Authors: Agalo Rose
Published: August 2023

Many people globally have been affected by climate change. Currently, over 150,000 deaths occur worldwide every year due to global warming. In Kenya, climate change has had devastating effects. Communities in rural areas are often most affected by climate change impacts because they rely on climate-sensitive industries to earn a living.  To address this, the study examined the utilization of community radio as a key media platform with a wide audience in rural Kenya to promote climate change awareness. This study assessed community radio’s role in the dissemination of information and in public engagement on matters of climate change in rural Kenya specifically Migori County. The study used a mixed approach of both qualitative and quantitative to collect data. 401 questionnaires were administered to residents who listen to at least one of the five main Dholuo community radio stations in Migori County, Kenya. This population was calculated using Yamane’s formula from a total population of 811, 051 residents of  Rongo, Awendo, Uriri, Suna East, Suna West, and Nyatike sub-counties. The five major community radios in Migori under study included: Milambo, Anyuola, Tarumbeta, Onagi, and Rameny. 20 key informants drawn from the community radio stations and climate change experts were interviewed for qualitative data. The study revealed that community radios do not give prominence to serious issues of climate change apart from the effects that come as news stories. It is recommended therefore that relevant stakeholders should prioritize proper utilization of community radios on matters of climate change.

Published: August 2023

Pembelian dan penjualan merupakan kegiatan yang mempengaruhi jumlah persediaan. Pembelian akan menambah jumlah persediaan, sedangkan penjualan akan menguranginya. Ketiga hal tersebut saling berkaitan dan merupakan inti kegiatan perusahaan. Informasi yang dihasilkan akan membantu manajer dalam memutuskan jumlah persediaan yang akan dibeli, maupun jumlah yang tersedia untuk dijual, serta mengontrol dan mengawasi jumlah aset persediaan perusahaan.  PT. Indo Global adalah bentuk usaha perseroan terbatas yang bergerak di bidang ekspor bahan rempah-rempah seperti gambir, pinang, kopra, kopi dan cengkeh. Saat ini, pencatatan atas transaksi pembelian dan penjualan perusahaan masih dilakukan secara manual dan bisa dikatakan kurang memadai melihat kenyataan transaksi yang terjadi relatif besar jumlahnya, sehingga agak menyita waktu bila ingin menghasilkan laporan persediaan dalam waktu singkat. Saatnya perusahaan menerapkan sistem informasi pembelian, penjualan dan persediaan secara komputerisasi untuk mengatasi hal tersebut. Berdasarkan penjelasan tersebut diatas, selanjutnya akan dilakukan penelitian dengan judul Perancangan Sistem Informasi Pembelian, Penjualan dan Persediaan Pada PT. Indo Global, Bandar Lampung. Kata Kunci: Sistem Informasi, Pembelian, Penjualan, Persediaan

Metode fuzzy kita terapkan dalam menentukan jumlah barang yang akan diproduksi suatu perusahan. Dalam penerapan metode ini ke dalam sebuah sistem pendukung keputusan memerlukan ketelitian yang tinggi dalam tahap pengerjaan implementasi sistem. Dalam pererapan metode fuzzy ke dalam bentuk coding kita harus memperhatikan data data yang akan kita hitung. Agar meminimalisir terjadi kesalahan dalam pengerjaan kita bentuk data menjadi bagian kecil. Data yang dibutuhkan seperti data permintaan maksimum dan data permintaan minimum, data persediaan maksimum dan data persediaan minimum, serta data produksi maksimum dan data produksi minimum serta data produksi suatu barang dalam satu periode. Kemudian data dijadikan bentuk lain, yaitu x mewakili permintaan, y mewakili persediaan, dan z mewakili produksi.Setelah penerapan sistem selesai. Maka pengerjaan perhitungan jumlah produksi akan lebih mudah. Hanya dengan memasukkan data-data permintaan, persediaan, dan produksi ke dalam sistem.

Pengunaan media Internet pada lingkungan kampus semakin hari semakin meningkat. Peningkatan jumlah pengguna ini bisa menjadi tidak sebanding dengan ketersediaan bandwidth pada sistem yang ada. Masalah yang timbul adalah bahwa penggunaan server proxy tunggal, seiring dengan meningkatnya pengguna, dapat menyebabkan overload dan bisa berdampak pada menurunnya kinerja jaringan. Masalah ini dapat diatasi dengan melakukan penyeimbangan beban pada beberapa server proxy, sehingga dapat mengurangi resiko overload. Masalah lain yang timbul adalah bahwa server proxy secara transparan tidak bisa melakukan proses autentikasi sehingga perlu digunakan aplikasi khusus untuk menangani proses tersebut. Penyeimbangan beban pada IP Tables akan menggunakan algoritma round robin. Round robin akan mendistribusikan semua beban secara bergantian ke beberapa server proxy yang ada, dengan menggunakan sistem antrian sirkuler. Aplikasi khusus yang digunakan untuk membantu proses autentikasi adalah captive portal. Dari hasil pengujian, captive portal bisa digunakan untuk menangani autentikasi pengguna dengan menggunakan username dan password yang terdaftar di server LDAP. Pengujian lain yang dilakukan adalah pengujian waktu respon untuk memuat halaman web sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan server proxy. Penggunaan server proxy dapat mempercepat waktu respon untuk memuat halaman web. Kinerja server proxy dapat ditinjau dari persentase rasio hit yang terjadi. Penyeimbangan beban dapat meningkatkan rasio hit dari masing-masing server, berkisar antara 20-30%. Kata Kunci: Proxy, Caching, Transparan, Komputer

AbstractMathematics education in elementary schools is very important, because it is the basis of the use of mathematics at the next level. The notion of mathematics as a frightening lesson must be eliminated and replaced with a pleasant lesson. In elementary schools most of the subject matter is delivered conventionally. So the material looks less attractive. For this reason, a learning innovation is needed so that the material looks more interesting and motivates students to learn. Especially the basic geometrical building calculation operations most frequently studied by elementary school students are calculating the area, perimeter, and volume of basic geometric shapes.This study aims to optimize the use of smartphones, especially Android in the world of education. T Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Matematika Berbasis Androidhe method used by the author in the design of this application is the Waterfall method because this method is a structured approach, this research certainly there are still many shortcomings and things that still need to be studied and developed again.
