Authors: Yud Patmono Yazid 
Published: February 2017

Menurut Anthony (1992: 6) pengendalian manajemen adalah suatu proses dengan mana para manajer menjamin bahwa sumber-sumber yang diperoleh dan digunakan dengan efektif dan efisien dalam rangka pencapaian tujuan organisasi. Pemerintah merupakan suatu organisasi yang melayani kepada masyarakat. Dalam rangka melaksanakan kegiatan-kegiatannya perlu adanya pengawasan. Pengawasan adalah salah satu fimgsi dari manajemen. Tujuan pengawasan adalah untuk mengetahui dan menilai kenyataan yang sebenar-benarnya tentang obyek yang diawasi, apakah sesuai dengan semestinya atau tidak. Dalam pelakwnaan pengawasan timbul berbagai permasalahan seperti penyelewengan keuangan, penyalahgunaan wewenang, dan kejahatan-kejahatan lain misalnya: penyuapan, kolusi, penggelapan, nepotisme, pungutan liar. Langkah-langkah yang diperlukan untuk pengawasan guna menanggulangi dan atau menghilangkan permasalahan tersebut antara lain: penyelengaraan pengawasan yang efektif peningkatan pembinaan kepegawaian berdasarkan sistem karir dan prestasi kerja, peningkatan terjalinnya koordinasi aparat-aparat pengawasan, mengusahakan terjalinnya sating pengertian antara pengawas dan yang diawasi tertib administrasi, dan meningkatkan kesadaran perlunya pengawasan.

This research was a case study that evaluated of Katzen activity, in welding process and utilization of man hour. The observation was located in PT PAL Indonesia, Ujung, Surabaya.This research contains of four observations, these are: evaluating the length of stator fram e product, welding process between rib and web plate, welding process between web plate and web plate, and utilization of man hour. Thefirst observation was using X Bar & R control chart, while the second observation using u control chart. The third observation using design of experiment, with independent variable to be analyze was welder, welding object, and interaction between welder and welding object, with dependent variable was spatter defect. Thefourth observation was doing to evaluated the succedeed of implementation kaizen in utilization of man hour, with t-test.The yield of calculation has been obtained with using Minitab 11.12 and SPSS 9.0 software, and the significant rate ex:: 0,05, was showed that: First, the process was in statistically control, but the process capability should be rised because the process capability less than 1 (C = 0.53, Cpk = CPL = 0.37). Second, although the welding process was in statistically control, the process capability also need to be increased, because the spatter defect that produced is 53 %. Third, analysis of varians shows that from the design of experiment, all of three independent variables, was influences significantly on welding of defect. The biggest one was welder factor. Fourth, the utilization of man hour for repair work (defect work ratio) on the first sampling, have higher significantly than the second sampling. This means that on the second sampling (latest sampling), repair work rate could be decreased.
Mountain goat resource selection in relation to mining‐related disturbance
Authors: White Kevin S. , Gregovich David P. 
Published: February 2017

Industrial development can have important direct and indirect effects on wildlife populations. Resource selection function (RSF) modeling provides a powerful tool for assessing the effects of industrial development on spatial use patterns of wildlife. Among North American large mammal species, mountain goats Oreamnos americanus are particularly sensitive to human disturbance. In this study mountain goat seasonal resource selection patterns were examined using GPS radio collar (n = 79 individuals) and remote sensing data in a GIS framework across a 491 km2 regional mountain range in southeast Alaska, 2005–2015. The resulting global RSF model was then applied across a limited spatial extent centered on an industrial mining site in order to assess whether mining activity altered expected spatial use patterns at different distances from the mine. Using a quasi treatment—control experimental framework we examined the occurrence of spatially explicit mine disturbance thresholds. In general, resource selection modeling indicated that mountain goats selected for steep, rugged terrain in close proximity to cliffs in areas with high solar exposure; and they selected for lower elevations in winter than in summer. Mountain goat selection for rugged terrain and proximity to cliffs was stronger in winter than summer. RSF model applications indicated that mountain goat use of predicted habitat in close proximity to the mine was lower than expected at distances up to 1800 m in winter and 1000 m in summer. Because lower elevation winter habitat is closer to mining activity than summer habitat, a greater percentage (42%) of winter habitat within the analysis area was affected by mining activity. The resulting net loss of functional winter habitat carrying capacity is likely to have long‐term negative implications for the local mountain goat population. In places where mining is proposed, development should avoid areas within 1800 m of mountain goat winter habitat. In places where mining is already occurring within disturbance thresholds (such as this study), long‐term monitoring and more detailed field studies should be conducted to more fully understand population‐level consequences of disturbance and identify practicable mitigation measures that have a high probability of success.

Published: February 2017

AbstractPhysical inactivity has reached epidemic proportions in modern society. Abundant evidence points to a causal link between physical inactivity and increased risk for numerous noncommunicable diseases, such as some types of cancer and heart disease, as well as premature mortality. Yet, despite this overwhelming evidence, many individuals do not meet the recommended amount of physical activity required to achieve maximum health benefits. Because primary care physicians’ advice is highly regarded, clinicians have the unique opportunity to play an important role in enabling patients to modify their behavior at the point of care with the goal of guiding patients to adopt and maintain an active lifestyle. In the current study, the authors evaluate pertinent literature from the fields of medicine/public health and economics/psychology to suggest a comprehensive approach to physical activity counseling at the primary care level. They first examine the public health approach to physical activity counseling, and then proceed to offer insights from behavioral economics, an emerging field that combines principles from psychology and economics. The application of key behavioral economics tools (eg, precommitment contracts, framing) to physical activity counseling in primary care is elaborated.

ALLOIMMUNIZATION IN PATIENTS WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE AND THALASSAEMIA: EXPERIENCE OF SINGLE CENTRE FROM OMAN
Authors: Pathare Anil , Alkindi Salam 
Published: February 2017

Background: Blood transfusion is an integral part of the supportive care for patients with sickle cell anemia and thalassaemia. The hazard of red cell alloimmunization, however, is one of the main complications of this therapy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of red cell alloimmunization in Omani patients with sickle cell anemia and thalassaemia. Methods: This study included 262 patients whose historical transfusion records were available. One hundred and twenty-nine patients with thalassaemia who were attending the day care unit for regular transfusions, and 133 sickle cell anemia patients admitted at our hospital were included in this study. The Diamed gel system was used for the screening and identification of atypical antibodies. Results: The rate of alloimmunization in sickle cell anemia patients was 31% (n=41), whereas in thalassaemia patients it was 20% (n=26). Antibodies to E, e, C, c, D, K, S, Fyª, Kpª, Jkª and Cw were observed. Among the two groups, 8 developed nonspecific antibodies, and 12 developed more than one antibody; however, 85% of patients were also immunized to Rh and Kell antigens. Conclusions: Red cell transfusions are associated with a significant risk of alloimmunization. It is, therefore, imperative to perform an initial extended red cell phenotyping for both donors and recipients, and carefully select ABO, Rh and Kell matched donors.

Published: February 2017

SummaryBackground: There is a need for health information technology evaluation that goes beyond randomized controlled trials to include consideration of usability, cognition, feedback from representative users, and impact on efficiency, data quality, and clinical workflow. This article presents an evaluation illustrating one approach to this need using the Decision-Centered Design framework. Objective: To evaluate, through a Decision-Centered Design framework, the ability of the Screening and Surveillance App to support primary care clinicians in tracking and managing colorectal cancer testing.Methods: We leveraged two evaluation formats, online and in-person, to obtain feedback from a range primary care clinicians and obtain comparative data. Both the online and in-person evaluations used mock patient data to simulate challenging patient scenarios. Primary care clinicians responded to a series of colorectal cancer-related questions about each patient and made recommendations for screening. We collected data on performance, perceived workload, and usability. Key elements of Decision-Centered Design include evaluation in the context of realistic, challenging scenarios and measures designed to explore impact on cognitive performance.Results: Comparison of means revealed increases in accuracy, efficiency, and usability and decreases in perceived mental effort and workload when using the Screening and Surveillance App. Conclusion: The results speak to the benefits of using the Decision-Centered Design approach in the analysis, design, and evaluation of Health Information Technology. Furthermore, the Screening and Surveillance App shows promise for filling decision support gaps in current electronic health records.
Intraocular Pressure Spikes following Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser Capsulotomy: Current Prevalence and Management in Israel
Authors: Achiron Asaf 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT

Aim
The current treatment for posterior capsular opacification (PCO), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy, may lead to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Our aim was to survey routines in the management of IOP spikes and to identify the rate of IOP spikes following prophylactic apraclonidine treatment.

Materials and methods
A survey questionnaire among ophthalmologists and a retrospective registry review was used. Patients were administered apraclonidine 0.5% prior to capsulotomy. The IOP was measured before and 1 hour postprocedure.

Results
A total of 71% of responders (n = 45) routinely prescribe topical IOP-lowering medication and 82% routinely measure IOP before or after capsulotomy. The registry analysis included 87 eyes of 75 patients. Mean IOP decreased by 0.9 ± 3.3 mm Hg (p = 0.01, range: −6 to 10) following capsulotomy. No patient reached IOP values above 21 mm Hg following the procedure, with 3.4 and 1.1% of patients demonstrating an IOP elevation of more than 3 and 5 mm Hg respectively. No association was found between number of laser shots, mean laser power, or comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or glaucoma status with posttreatment IOP.

Conclusion
Most ophthalmologists surveyed routinely prescribe prophylactic IOP-lowering medication and measure IOP before or after capsulotomy. Mean IOP remained clinically stable following capsulotomy with prophylactic apraclonidine instillation, and no patient reached IOP values above 21 mm Hg. Differences in laser delivery or comorbid conditions were not associated with posttreatment IOP. Considering that no patient demonstrated a clinically significant IOP spike following prophylactic apraclonidine instillation, perhaps routine measurement of IOP following primary Nd:YAG laser may be reserved for high-risk patients only.

Clinical significance
In this work, we showed the prophylactic effect of apraclonidine 0.5% and suggest that measuring IOP after the procedure is necessary only in certain high-risk cases, possibly helping to reduce workload and patient waiting time and improving quality of service.

Long-term Follow-up of Patients receiving Intraocular Pressure-lowering Medications as Cataract Surgery Candidates: A Case—control Study
Authors: Bontzos Georgios , Agiorgiotakis Michail , Detorakis Efstathios T 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT
Aim
In this study, we reviewed demographics and biometric characteristics among patients receiving chronic β-blockers and prostaglandins (PGs) for primary open-angle glaucoma. We compared the age at the time of cataract surgery in different patient groups and in a control group which was not under any medication.

Materials and methods
Retrospective chart review of glaucomatous patients who underwent cataract extraction at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, between January 1998 and December 2016 was done. Age at cataract surgery, axial length (AL), and preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were recorded. A cohort of patients without glaucoma who were operated for cataract extraction was also evaluated.

Results
In all, 320 patients were reviewed. There were significant results in mean age difference between the beta-antagonist and the PG group [3.05 years, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54-4.57] and between the beta-antagonist group with the patients receiving a combined therapy (3.02 years, 95% CI 1.14-4.91). No significant difference was found between the PG and the combination group. All the three treated groups had a significant lower mean age than the control group at the time of cataract surgery.

Conclusion
Based on our study, we concluded that there might be a possible association between chronic treatment with beta-antagonist agents and earlier cataract surgical time in the treated eye.

Clinical significance
Intraocular pressure control is often usually achieved using ophthalmic agents. Their topical and systemic effects should be monitored precisely. Earlier cataract formation might be an important side effect which the physician has to keep in mind before choosing the suitable medication.

Improving mental health in families with autistic children: benefits of using video feedback in parent counselling sessions offered alongside music therapy
Authors: K. Blauth Laura 
Published: February 2017

<b>Background</b><br />
This paper explores benefits of parent counselling offered alongside music therapy with children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Research studies have shown that the stress levels of primary caregivers of children with ASD are not only higher than in the general population but also higher than in parents of children with other developmental disabilities. It is therefore recommended that music therapists working with children with ASD also engage and support their parents.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
In the international randomised controlled trial TIME-A, which investigates the effects of music therapy on the social communicative skills of autistic children, participating families are offered three parent counselling sessions. For this paper, 68 counselling sessions with 25 families were evaluated; 14 sessions were transcribed and subjected to a content analysis. Case examples illustrate the impact of concomitant parent counselling sessions on the families.<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
The analysis generated emerging themes that were grouped into two categories: 1) Non-music therapy specific themes, and 2) Music therapy specific themes. The first category comprised four sub-groups: Exchange of information, Experiences with professionals/friends/society, Worries about the future, Personal/matrimonial problems. Music therapy specific themes were subdivided into the following groups: Working in a partnership, Empowering parents, Celebrating strengths, Rejoicing in child’s enjoyment. Challenges caused by the dual roles of music therapist and parent counsellor were outweighed by the benefits. In addition to the therapeutic effect of counselling, video material from the music therapy sessions helped carers to see their children’s strengths, to gain new ideas, and to develop a more positive outlook.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</B><br />
The findings support the provision of parent counselling sessions alongside music therapy for children with ASD. This study highlights that extending the role of the music therapist and using video feedback offers encouraging possibilities to further support the wellbeing of the whole family.
KAMUTHE video microanalysis system for use in Brazil: translation, cross-cultural adaptation and evidence of validity and reliability
Authors: Gattino Gustavo Schulz , Silva Alexandre Mauat da , Figueiredo Felipe Grahl , Schüler-Faccini Lavinia 
Published: February 2017

<b>Background</b><br />
KAMUTHE is a video microanalysis system which observes preverbal communication within the music therapy setting. This system is indicated for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or multiple disabilities. The purpose of this study was to translate, adapt to Brazilian Portuguese language and analyze some psychometric properties (reliability and validity evidence) of KAMUTHE administration in Brazil for individuals with ASD.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
Translation, back translation, analysis by judges, and pilot application were performed to obtain evidence of content and face validity. The second part of this study was to administer KAMUTHE in 39 consecutive children with ASD. An individual session of improvisational music therapy was applied to assess the different behaviors included in KAMUTHE. The intra-rater reliability, concurrent validity and convergent validity were analyzed.<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
Translation and cross-cultural adaptation were followed and some cultural adaptations were needed. Inter-rater reliability was very good (ICCs 0.95-0.99) for the three child’s behaviors analyzed. Criteria validity with a moderate negative association was found (r = –.38, p = .017) comparing the behavior “Gazes at therapist” and the level of ASD along with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Convergent validity was established between the behavior “Gazes at therapist” and the two nonlinguistic communication scales (social interaction and interests) of the Children’s Communication Checklist (CCC) with a moderate correlation (r = –.43, p = .005).<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
The administration of the KAMUTHE video microanalysis system showed positive results in children with ASD. Further studies are needed to improve the reliability and validity of the instrument in Brazil.

Abstract. A study was conducted on the effect of separated manure as bedding material on milk quality as manifested in the somatic cell count. Cows were maintained in a loose barn in cubicles bedded with fresh separated cattle manure (SCM) with 40 % solids content. Analyses were conducted on 242 primiparous Polish Black and White Holstein-Friesian cows in the course of a 305-day lactation. Mean milk yield in that period amounted to over 9000 kg per cow. Somatic cell counts, daily milk yields and chemical composition of milk were analysed. Data were obtained from analyses of 2324 milk samples. It was found that 93.3 % of samples contained less than 400 000 somatic cells per 1 mL milk. Approximately 4.3 % of milk samples contained the number of somatic cells indicating subclinical mastitis (200 000 cells mL−1), while in 2.4 % it was clinical mastitis (> 800 000 cells mL−1). The incidence rate for both forms of mastitis was similar in the beginning and at the end of lactation. Mean daily milk yield of cows producing milk classified according to quality (SCC) grades 1 (< 25 000 cells mL−1) and 2 (< 25 000; 50 000 > cells mL−1) was statistically significantly greater than the yields of other cows. For analysed milk constituents a relationship was found between SCC classes and contents of milk fat and solids. Conducted analyses showed that SCM as bedding in cow cubicles had no effect on somatic cell counts in milk of primiparous cows. The study was conducted in a single holding, in one lactation, on cows calving in 2014.
