Authors: Ja'far Achmad
Published: July 2019

Indonesia merupakan negara dengan jumlah penduduk yang padat, yang menyebabkan kelangkaan lahan dan harga lahan yang tinggi. Kondisi ini mengharuskan pola pembangunan suatu struktur secara vertical (bertingkat). Selain itu Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan aktivitas gempa yang tinggi, yang mengaharuskan perencanaan gedung harus mampu menahan beban vertical dan beban lateral gempa. Untuk menstabilkan struktur dapat digunakan cara yaitu dengan penambahan dinding geser pada struktur tersebut. Posisi dan penempatan dinding geser juga sangat berpengaruh terhadap perilaku kekuatan struktur tersebut. Tujuan penambahan dinding geser ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh letak dinding geser dalam menghadapi beban lateral yaitu beban gempa dan untuk mengetahui bagaimana gaya-gaya yang terjadi pada kolom struktur dengan letak dinding geser yang berbeda-beda.Analisa dilakukan menggunakan SAP 2000 v.20 dengan memodelkan gedung 10 lantai dengan 3 tipe dinding geser yang berbeda. Tipe pertama dengan letak dinding geser di sudut gedung, tipe kedua dengan letak di tepi gedung, dan tipe ketiga dengan letak di inti gedung. Kemudian hasil analisa dibandingkan dan disimpulkan.

Published: July 2019

Jalan raya adalah jalur-jalur tanah di atas permukaan bumi yang dibuat oleh manusia dengan bentuk, ukuran-ukuran dan jenis konstruksinya sehingga dapat digunakan untuk menyalurkan lalu lintas orang, hewan dan kendaraan yang mengangkut barang dari suatu tempat ke tempat lainnya dengan mudah dan cepat. Perencanaan jalan raya yang baik tentunya tidak lepas dari kekuatan pondasi jalan raya yaitu lapis tanah dasar, lapis pondasi bawah dan lapis pondasi atas. Lapisan perkerasan jalan berfungsi untuk menerima beban lalu-lintas dan menyebarkannya ke lapisan di bawahnya terus ke tanah dasar. Jika pondasi jalan raya tidak memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan, pasti akan berdampak buruk bagi kekuatan yang dapat mengakibatkan kerusakan pada jaan raya. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya perencanaan yang baik terhadap pondasi jalan raya. Salah satu yang akan dibahas oleh penulis adalah lapis pondasi atas. Lapis pondasi adalah bagian dari perkerasan yang terletak antara lapis permukaan dan lapis pondasi bawah. Dari latar belakang diatas peneliti akan melakukian penelitian dengan judul “PERENCANAAN CAMPURAN MATERIAL SEBAGAI LAPIS PONDASI ATAS JALAN”. Tujuannya agar jalan raya yang dibangun tidak mengalami kerusakan dan layak untuk digunakan. Metode penelitian ini diuji di laboratorium, yaitu untuk mengetahui nilai CBR.

STABILISASI TANAH LEMPUNG DENGAN BUBUK ARANG KAYU TERHADAP KUAT GESER
Authors: Wasaraka Ilham Akbar
Published: July 2019

Tanah merupakan dasar pondasi dari suatu bangunan agar bangunan tersebut dapat berdiri dengan kokoh dan dapat digunakan secara aman. Tanah yang baik tidak memerlukan perlakuan khusus pada saat tanah tersebut digunakan sebagai pondasi suatu bangunan, namun tidak semua tanah memiliki sifat tanah yang baik yang mengakibatkan apabila dibangun suatu bangunan gedung, rumah, jalan, dan sebagainya bisa mengakibatkan terjadinya kerusakan pada konstruksi di atasnya. Kondisi tanah yang kurang baik terdapat di jalan SP 4 kelurahan Makbalim Distrik Mayamuk Kabupaten Sorong. Hal ini dapat terlihat dari kondisi tanah yang keras saat kemarau dan becek pada musim hujan serta jalan yang mudah rusak seperti yang dibangun di daerah tersebut dengan kurang baik atau mudah mengalami kerusakan seperti jalan berlubang, bergelombang, dan adapun bahu jalan yang longsor. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa karakteristik dari tanah asli Jalan SP 4 kelurahan Makbalim Distrik Mayamuk Kabupaten Sorong dan untuk menganalisa pengaruh pencampuran arang kayu pada tanah lempung terhadap kuat geser tanah.
Perencanaan kolam retensi di sungai klasuluk kabupaten Sorong
Authors: Rahmatullah Azwar
Published: July 2019

Kali Klasuluk merupakan salah satu kali di wilayah Kecamatan Mariat, Kabupaten Sorong. Daerah aliran Kali Klasuluk meliputi hulunya di SP 1 Kabupaten Sorong hingga ke hilir di SP 2 yang bertemu dengan Sungai Mariat. Daerah aliran Kali Klasuluk secara keseluruhan memiliki luas 0,744 Km2. Kali Klasuluk yang berada pada Sub DAS Kabupaten Sorong hampir setiap musim hujan mengalami banjir. Penyebab banjir tersebut dikarenakan oleh hujan lokal yang tak mampu ditampung oleh sungai pada daerah tersebut. Hal tersebut dikarenakan adanya tumpukan sampah dan sedimentasi yang terjadi pada saluran sungainya sehingga menyebabkan saluran tersebut melimpas apabila hujan turun dengan intensitas yang besar dan dalam waktu yang agak lama, sehingga dapat menimbulkan genangan dengan kedalaman antara 20 – 50 cm selama ±1 – 2 hari pada daerah seluas ±1,57 ha. Genangan tersebut mengakibatkan beberapa aktivitas vital masyarakat daerah tersebut atau masyarakat yang ingin melalui kawasan tersebut menjadi terganggu.

The morality of war: A review and research agenda
Authors: Watkins Hanne M
Published: July 2019

What is judged as morally right and wrong in war? In the present paper I argue that despite many decades of research on moral psychology, and on the psychology of intergroup conflict, social psychology does not yet have a good answer to this question. However, it is a question of great importance, as its answer has implications for decision making in war, public policy, and international law. I therefore suggest a new way for psychology to study the morality of war, which combines the strengths of philosophical just war theory with experimental techniques and theories developed for the psychological study of morality more generally. This novel approach has already begun to elucidate the moral judgments we make in war, and I demonstrate that these early findings have important implications for moral psychology, just war theory, and our understanding of the morality of war.
Psychometric Properties of the Stress Control Mindset Measure in University Students from Australia and the UK
Authors: Keech Jacob J , Orbell Sheina , Hagger Martin S , O'Callaghan Frances , Hamilton Kyra
Published: July 2019

Introduction: Beliefs about the consequences of stress, stress mindsets, are associated with health and performance outcomes under stress. This article reports the development and examination of the psychometric properties of a measure of stress mindset: The Stress Control Mindset Measure (SCMM). The measure is consistent with theory on mindsets about self-attributes and conceptualizes stress mindset as the extent to which individuals endorse beliefs that stress can be enhancing. Methods: The study adopted a correlational cross-sectional survey design in two student samples. Undergraduate students from an Australian university (Sample 1, N = 218) and a UK university (Sample 2, N = 214) completed the SCMM and measures of health and wellbeing outcomes. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses supported a four-factor structure and strict measurement invariance across samples (ΔCFI < .01). Reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and concurrent validity of the overall SCMM was supported in both samples. Incremental validity was supported for most outcomes, accounting for significantly more variance (between 2.2% and 5.9%) in health and wellbeing outcomes than an existing measure. Conclusions: Current data provide preliminary support for the SCMM as a reliable and valid measure with good psychometric properties and theoretically consistent relations with health outcomes under stress. Findings provide initial evidence supporting the potential utility of the SCMM in future research examining relations between stress mindsets and health and performance outcomes.
“So you confirmed, replicated and emptied your file-drawer… now what?” A Structural Realist’s Guide to Theory Evaluation in Psychological Science
Authors: Hasselman Fred , Seevinck M.P. , Cox Ralf F. A.
Published: July 2019

The papers in the special issue of PPS on the origins and possible resolution of the crisis of confidence in psychological science hardly mention the word theory. We argue that all the excellent suggestions to reform the discipline will be in vain if it does not begin a discussion about the way it evaluates and revises its theories. We diagnose theory evaluation as afflicted with three serious symptoms and provide exemplary examples from the scientific record of psychology to illustrate them. The first symptom is the interpretation fallacy, of which the very critical commentaries received by proponents of the complex systems approach about their efforts to study psychological phenomena, represent an exemplary case (e.g. Wagenmakers, van der Maas, & Farrell, 2012). The second is the empiricist’s blind-spot. We will discuss it in the context of the plethora of theories that have been posited by the psychological and life sciences about the ætiology of developmental dyslexia. We especially discuss the apparent inability of the huge empirical record of high quality behavioral, neuroscientific and genetic data to resolve any theoretical dispute (e.g. Ramus & Szenkovits, 2008). The third symptom is the Columbus delusion, of which the recent publication “There is nothing so theoretical as a good method” (Greenwald, 2012) is an excellent example. These symptoms are all related and pertain to the different roles ontology plays in scientific theorizing. Our critical diagnosis is not the end goal of this paper however, we respond to the call to device methods for strong inference (Fiedler, Kutzner, & Krueger, 2012) and provide a practical, but formal approach to theory evaluation known as Structural Realism (cf. Worrall, 1989). In three parts, our Structural Realist’s guide to theorizing about the universe will elaborate on how to deal with theoretical diversity and in the process cure psychological science of its ailment, ensuring it will remain the prime discipline for the scientific study of psychological phenomena in the future.
Brain states matter. A reply to the unfolding argument.
Authors: Kleiner Johannes
Published: July 2019

Recently, it has been claimed that Integrated Information Theory and other theories of its type cannot explain consciousness ("unfolding argument"). We unravel this argument mathematically and prove that the premises of the argument imply a much stronger result according to which the observed problem holds for almost all theories of consciousness. We find, however, that one of the premises is unwarranted and show that if this premise is dropped, the argument ceases to work. Thus our results show that the claim of the unfolding argument cannot be considered valid. The premise in question is that measures of brain activity cannot be used in an empirical test of theories of consciousness.
Structure Learning and the Parietal Cortex
Authors: Summerfield Christopher , Luyckx Fabrice , Sheahan Hannah
Published: July 2019

We propose a theory of structure learning in the primate brain. We argue that the parietal cortex is critical for learning about relations among the objects and categories that populate a visual scene. We suggest that current deep learning models exhibit poor global scene understanding because they fail to perform the relational inferences that occur in the primate dorsal stream. We review studies of neural coding in primate posterior parietal cortex (PPC), drawing the conclusion that this brain area represents potentially high-dimensional inputs on a low-dimensional manifold that encodes relative the position of objects or features in physical space, and relations among entities an abstract conceptual space. We argue that this low-dimension code supports generalisation of relational information, even in nonspatial domains. Finally, we propose that structure learning is grounded in the actions that primates take when they reach for objects or fixate them with their eyes. We sketch a model of how this might occur in neural circuits.
Kudos to you! Comparing co-authorships and acknowledgements in political science journals from Germany
Authors: Wallaschek Stefan , Heiberger Raphael
Published: July 2019

Scientific research on academic collaboration focuses on co-authorships, citations and acknowledgements as ‘reward triangle’. However, acknowledgements have received comparatively little attention. In this paper, we compare co-authorship and acknowledgement networks and investigate conditions that influence their formation (gender, institutional affiliation and status of authors and acknowledged individuals). We select three sub-disciplinary political science journals from Germany between 2010 and 2017. We employ techniques from social network analysis to compare these conditions by using homophily measures. The results demonstrate that co-authorships have a rather sparse network while including acknowledgements reveals hidden collaboration structures. Moreover, scholars from the same institution are more likely to co-author and acknowledge each other while we show heterophily effects for acknowledging and co-authoring behavior of professors. We also identify an underrepresentation of female academics as authors and credit-givers alike. Thus, our exploratory study reveals similarities and differences patterns for co-authorships and acknowledgements providing new ground for future studies on all aspects of collaborative behavior in science.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN GLOBAL TRADE AND INDONESIA PROBLEMS
Authors: Nasution Ade Parlaungan
Published: July 2019

The use of the concept of supply chain management in Indonesia based on the data presented is mainly to collaborate with world-class manufacturers in order to participate in global trade, it is still very lacking and not yet this is due to one sub system with another sub-system still running partially and does not have an intact network. From the data above, Indonesia must improve its infrastructure and human resources more in an integrated manner so that it can join in the big wave of global trade because geographically, Indonesia is in a strategic position in the world trade route. The basic weakness is the high cost of logistics which includes transportation costs, warehousing costs, inventory storage costs, customer service costs and logistical administrative costs when compared to other countries in the Asian region. Another disadvantage is that there are still various infrastructure standards such as ports, highways and air and water transportation networks and other supporting infrastructure. The lack of availability of funds for infrastructure programs, unclear infrastructure development priorities, uncertain legal rules, and inadequate law enforcement make Indonesia's ranking still inferior to other ASEAN member countries.
Improving predictor selection for injury modelling methods in male footballers

Published: July 2019

This study evaluated whether combining existing methods of Elastic net for zero-inflated Poisson and zero-inflated Poisson regression methods could improve real life applicability of injury prediction models in football. Predictor selection and model development was conducted on a pre-existing dataset, from a single English football teams’ 2015/2016 season. The Elastic Net for zero-inflated Poisson penalty method was successful shrinking the total number of predictors in the presence of high levels of multicollinearity. It was additionally identified that easily measurable data, i.e. mass and body fat content, training type, duration and surface, fitness levels, normalised period of “no-play” and time in competition could contribute to the probability of acquiring a time loss injury. Furthermore, prolonged series of match play and increased in-season injury reduced the probability of not sustaining an injury. For predictor selection, the Elastic net for zero-inflated Poisson penalised method in combination with the use of ZIP regression modelling for predicting time loss injuries have been identified appropriate methods for improving real life applicability of injury prediction models. These methods are more appropriate for datasets subject to multicollinearity, smaller sample sizes and zero-inflation known to affect the performance of traditional statistical methods. Further validation work is now required.

Mesin pengkondisian udara umumnya digunakan untuk memberikan efek pendinginan (cooling effect). Efek pendinginan dimaksudkan untuk memberikan kenyamanan di ruang yang didinginkan, sehingga rasa nyaman membuat orang betah didalamnya. Mesin pengkondisian udara secara termodinamika kebanyakan beroperasi menggunakan siklus kompresi uap, dimana panas diserapkan disisi evaporator di dalam ruangan, kemudian panas tersebut dibuang di kondensor di luar ruangan. Proses tersebut dapat berlangsung karena kerja kompresor dan penurunan tekanan yang terjadi pada katup ekpansi atau pipa kapiler, sehingga siklus kompresi uap bekerja sempurna. Pada sistem pengkondisian udara biasanya panas terbuang kelingkungan begitu saja, panas tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memanaskan air dengan penambahan kondensor dummy. Penambahan kondensor dummy pada penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat pengaruh penambahan kondensor dummy terhadap beban pendingin, daya kompresi, temperatur, dan Coefficient of Performance (COP). Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini ialah metode rancang bangun dan eksperimental. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, selama pengoperasian 120 menit diperoleh temperatur air panas pada  kondisi tanpa beban (0W), beban 1000W, 2000W dan 3000W berturut-turut adalah 52,83oC, 56,58oC, 57,93oC dan 64,73oC.

Published: July 2019

Anemia is not a disease but a clinical feature of some other underlying problems. It is one of the most common public health problems in developing countries. The prevalence of anemia differs according to the age group. A cross sectional observational study was conducted in a tertiary hospital, over a period of six months (January 2018 to June 2018). All the cases of anemia in different age group with hematological investigations (hemoglobin and red blood cell indices) including reticulocyte count during the study period were included. A total of 274 blood samples of persons with anemia were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 41.4 ± 25.37 years. Anemia was more commonly seen in females (68.2%) than males (31.8%) in our study. The most affected age group for anemia was person ≥ 15 years followed by children < 5 years. The least affected group was children of 12- 14 years. Microcytic anemia (decreased MCV and decreased MCHC) was observed in children of 12- 14 years and macrocytic anemia (increased MCV) was seen in group ≥ 15 years. Red cell distribution width (RDW) was more elevated in children of 12 -14 years and showed that there was significant variation of size of RBC in this group. Reticulocyte count was higher in children < 5 years and lower in children of 12- 14 years. Significant correlation was noted for hematocrit and reticulocyte count. This study revealed that the prevalence of anemia increases with age and was more common in females. Baseline study of red blood cell indices and reticulocyte count will help us in diagnosing the type of anemia and in further management.

Authors: Manandhar Seerina Adhikari , Pramanik T
Published: July 2019

Educational environment in medical schools is highly demanding and stressful due to various factors. The study was aimed to explore level of stress, stressors and the coping strategies among the undergraduate medical, dental and nursing students of a medical college in Kathmandu. A cross- sectional observational study was conducted among 174 consenting (95 medical, 51 dental and 28 nursing) first year undergraduate students with predesigned, pretested, semi-structured questionnaire which included socio-demographic details, Kessler psychological distress scale and Medical student stress questionnaire. Average age of students was 19.54±1.28 years. Results revealed that 66.66% of students were under stress with 25.86% having mild, 18.96% having moderate and 21.83% having severe levels of stress. Highest prevalence of stress was noted among nursing students (75.00%) with 32.14% under severe stress. Among 116 males and 58 females, males were more stressed (75.00%) than females (50.00%). Most of the students enjoyed music and chatted with their close ones to cope with stress. Academic related stressor was found to be the major stressor (2.65±0.69) with statistically significant association (p< 0.01) with the stress levels among the students. Informing students about the “must know” and “good to know” areas of the topics of every subject may be helpful to decrease the academic related stress. Regular practice of meditation, sports and cultural activities may help to reduce stress.
Outcome of Internal Fixation of Metacarpal Fractures of Hand at a Tertiary Care Hospital, Kathmandu
Authors: Shrestha Praphulla , Paudel SR , Chalise P
Published: July 2019

Hand fractures are different from other fractures elsewhere in the body. Functional impairment of hand leads to a prominent issue to the patient. We have a common practice of treatment of hand fractures by using kirschner wire(s). The internal fixation using plates and screws for metacarpal fractures of the hand is technically demanding but it is beneficial to the patients as it permits early mobilization and better pain relief. We studied the outcome of this type of internal fixation of the metacarpal fractures at Nepal Medical College. We included 26 patients above 18years with isolated extraarticular, closed and open Swanson I metacarpal fractures of the hand. Fractures with rotation of the digit and unacceptable angulation, shortening and unstable fractures were included. Pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale and function using American Society for Surgery of hand Total Active Flexion (ASSHTAF) score. The mean pain score (VAS) was 0.27 at 12 weeks. The ASSHTAF score showed excellent results in 92.3% patients at 12 weeks. At the final follow up 92.3% patients had excellent results, 3.8% had good and 3.8% had poor results. Fracture union was seen in all patients at final follow up. The study shows that internal fixation of unstable metacarpal fractures gives significant pain relief to the patient and an excellent functional outcome.
Three-Port versus Four-Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Koirala Rabin , Gurung TM , Rajbhandari A , Rai P
Published: July 2019

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most common surgery performed and is traditionally performed using four ports. With the aim of improving patient’s comfort, port numbers have been reduced to single port. But feasibility and the extra expense that comes with single and double port LC has made them less attractive. Three port LC can be a safe alternative to four port LC, and various research has shown its safety. This study compares the three port LC with the traditional four port LC with the objective of assessing feasibility and benefit of the decreased port number. We evaluated 217 patients who were randomly allocated for three port and four port LC. Both the groups were compared for operative time, assessment of postoperative pain, days of hospital stay and postoperative recovery time after discharge. The parameters were compared using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16. Among 217 patients, 123 underwent three port LC and 94 underwent four port LC. The larger number were females (79.7%), and with comparable age group of patients. Rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy, postoperative pain scale, analgesic requirement, average hospital stay and port site infection rates were comparable in both groups of patients. The average time taken for operation was less in three port LC than the four port LC but this was not statistically significant. There is no significant difference between 3 port and 4 port LC in terms of time required for the surgery, conversion rate, complication and duration of hospital stay.
Assessment on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Pharmacovigilance among the Healthcare Professionals in a Tertiary Hospital of Kathmandu
Authors: Shakya-Gurung Rashmi , Shrestha D , Thapa R
Published: July 2019

Pharmacovigilance (PV) is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) have an important role in reporting Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) cases. However under-reporting has been a major challenge in PV. Hence, we assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of HCPs about PV in a tertiary hospital of Kathmandu. A cross-sectional study was conducted using pretested questionnaire consisting of 21 closed ended questions (twelve on knowledge, five on attitude, four on practice and one open ended question to know the causes of under-reporting. Out of 520 HCPs, 448 (207 doctors and 241 nurses) participated in the study with the response rate of 86.2%. The mean KAP score for doctors was 10.38 ± 2.68 and 9.60 ± 2.32 for nurses. The major barriers for under-reporting were identified as the difficulty in deciding if it’s an ADR and lack of time to report ADRs. No significant correlation between knowledge and attitude of the HCPs was found (r=0, n=448, p< 0.01). However, there was a weak positive correlation between knowledge and practice (r= 0.05, n=448, p< 0.01) and also for attitude and practice (r= 0.09, n=448, p< 0.01). Hence, the HCPs had poor knowledge and practice but positive attitude towards PV. It is therefore strongly recommended to have an immediate educational intervention among the HCPs to improve the spontaneous ADR reporting.

Published: July 2019

Recurrent pneumonia usually occurs due to an underlying disorder that negatively affects local or systemic defence mechanisms. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence and risk factors associated with recurrent pneumonia in children and to determine possible strategic plan needed for better clinical outcome. Children between 2 months to 15 years old who had a history of 2 or more episodes of pneumonia per year, or 3 or more episodes in a life time were investigated prospectively at Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital. Out of 653 children admitted for pneumonia, 74 (11.3 %%) met the criteria for recurrent pneumonia. Among 74 children with recurrent pneumonia, underlying risk factors was demonstrated in 65 patients (87.8%). Most common underlying diseases were aspiration syndrome in 21.6% patients, congenital heart disease in 13.5% patients and bronchial asthma in 12.1% children. No predisposing illness could be demonstrated in 12.1% patients. Approximately 1 in 9 children with pneumonia in our hospital had recurrent pneumonia. Aspiration syndrome was the most common underlying illnesses for undiagnosed recurrent pneumonia in children.

Published: July 2019

Cervical carcinoma is the most common gynecological malignancy and almost curable cancer, if identified at an early stage. Cervical biopsy remains the ‘gold standard’ for the diagnosis of precancerous cervical lesion. The objective of this study was to review the histopathological findings of cervical biopsy including cervical polypectomy and hysterectomy specimens at Dhulikhel Hospital from January 2008 to December 2018. Out of 2098 cases, almost half of the cases (49.3%) were of Brahmin/Chhetri castes. There were significant differences in mean ages among hysterectomy cases (47.55±9.26), cervical biopsy cases (43.08±11.50) and polypectomy cases (33.59±12.47) (p value < 0.005). Out of 925 cervical specimens (cervical biopsy and polypectomy), colposcopy and hysteroscopy were performed in 18.2% and 12.7%, respectively. Out of 1173 hysterectomies, there were 110 cases (9.4%) of malignancies and cervical cancer was the most common (67, 60.9%). The mean age of cervical cancer patients was 52.87±11.94 years. Cervical cancer detected in age group of 40 – 59 years was significantly high (p value < 0.005). Incidence of cervical cancer was lowest in Brahmin/Chhetris (2.4%) compared to Newars (3.4%) and other Janajatis (12.8%) and the difference was statistically significant (p value < 0.005). The findings of this study is useful in updating the histopathological pattern of cervical biopsies.

Abstract –In building a computer network it takes precision in choosing a network scheme so that it can be used effectively and efficiently. Such as the selection of network topology, the type of network and network devices to be used. The security system is also an important part of a computer network that has inernet access to existing local networks to stay safe from outside threats. Here the authors do research in IT Telkom Purwokerto with the result that is, the topology used is the star and the type of client-server network. The server used is linux debian. The security system in IT Telkom purwokerto when analyzed is using authentication server system and using Virtual Private Network (VPN).Authentication server problems when there is no power, here the authors propose the procurement of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for more stable electricity. As for the security system itself is more effective if added a firewall that is demiliterized zone (DMZ) so that there is a wall separation between public network and local network so that the security system will be more effective.
