Customer knowledge is a valuable asset, and gathering, managing, and sharing customer knowledge can be a useful competitive activity for organizations. Successful knowledge partnerships with essential and valuable customers can strengthen business performance and create an absolute competitive advantage that is difficult for competitors to emulate. In consumer knowledge management, companies often experience significant obstacles or constraints so that sometimes many companies prevent them from managing consumer knowledge. The company or organization depends on consumers who do not need to understand the industrial field of the company or organization. This paper discusses the comparison of the application of customer knowledge management in various industries. Research findings that all organizations must apply the three essential components of customer-related knowledge within the underlying conceptual framework. Three basic components of customer-related knowledge within a basic conceptual framework: knowledge for customers, knowledge of customers, and customer knowledge, cannot be eliminated. This proves the compatibility with previous studies. In fact, to succeed, they must be applied so that it is of value to the company. Implementation of the framework can present a great opportunity for the organization or company to make new products so that this will improve the performance of the company or organization and maintain the continuity of the company or organization.

The teaching and learning process is a process that involves participants and educators. The teaching and learning process will be successful if there is interaction between the two parties. Along with the development of information technology, especially the internet in information systems, the teaching and learning process has utilized information technology both from elementary, secondary and higher education levels. Especially for higher education which requires students to be more independent and active in the learning process, information technology is considered very helpful for students. As one of the information technology-based universities, STIKOM Bali utilizes e-learning to support the learning process. Lecturers and students are required to use and utilize e-learning as a means to share information related to lecture materials, assignments, quizzes, discussion forums and others. One of the goals of implementing e-learning in lectures is to increase student learning motivation so that learning achievement will be better. It is also hoped that students will be more interested in the lecture process. One of the things that affect student learning motivation is learning media. The learning media referred to in this study is e-learning learning media. The long and stable application of e-learning at STIKOM Bali is thought to be one of the drivers of student learning motivation. The research method used in this research is problem definition, data collection, data analysis and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of hypothesis testing with H1 hypothesis regression with a significance value of 0.000 and a t-count of 4.015 proven, so that it is concluded that according to STIKOM Bali students e-learning affects student learning motivation.

Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is an offshore platform structure used for deep-sea oil and gas exploration. The main structure of the TLP consists of a deck, pontoon, mooring system, and foundation. TLP operates in a balance of buoyancy, structural weight, and mooring tension. The problem is the construction of TLP in the deep sea, where sometimes extreme waves appear could damage the TLP structure. This paper proposes a new model of TLP that is more stable to extreme waves. The method is to separate the mass of the deck and the mass of the pontoon into two flexible parts, which are connected by a cantilever spring system. Thus the TLP motion becomes two degrees of freedom (TLP 2-DOF). Using the dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) method, the ratio of the deck mass, pontoon mass, and spring stiffness are adjusted so that the primary mass movement is minimal. Furthermore, the ratio of the amplitude of the deck movement as the primary mass to the wave amplitude is analyzed, which is known as the operator response amplitude (RAO). The results showed that the TLP 2-DOF model was more stable. As an illustration, at resonance conditions, this model can reduce RAO to about 67%.

BACKGROUND: Globally, the number of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 confirmation cases shows an exponential increase. In South Sumatera province, Indonesia, reported positive confirm cases in March 2020 as many as 5 cases, and within 2 months there was an increase to 196 times (982 cases) confirmation cases in May 2020. Transmission prevention practice is essential to inhibit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the number of cases. Based on past studies, COVID-19 transmission prevention practice is affected by community characteristics, level of knowledge and attitudes, but there is no study conducted in Indonesia. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of knowledge and attitudes toward COVID-19 transmission prevention practice. METHODS: The study was conducted with cross-sectional study approach. The sample is the people lived in South Sumatra who filled out the questionnaire through the Google form application, total 1187 people. Data were collected by snowball method during the period of April 18–30th 2020. Data were analyzed statistically using multiple logistic regression tests. RESULTS: The result of this study found that four variables significantly affected COVID-19 transmission prevention practice. They were occupation (odds ratio [OR]: 1.128; p < 0.01), gender (OR: 1.309; p < 0.05), knowledge (OR: 1.782; p < 0.01), and attitude (OR: 2.059; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The dominant factor affecting COVID-19 transmission prevention practice is attitude and knowledge. Hence, it is necessary to increase community knowledge about COVID-19 better to change people’s attitudes toward COVID-19 transmission prevention so they can implement good COVID-19 transmission prevention practice.

Purpose Prediabetes can affect the central nervous system and lead to changes including impaired cognition and spatial memory. Isoflavones, especially genistein and daidzein, can increase spatial memory. Tempeh is a soy product with high levels of genistein and daidzein. The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of tempeh on spatial memory of prediabetic Wistar rat. Design/methodology/approach A pre-and post-test randomised control group design was used. In total, 15 male Wistar rats were divided into three equal groups, Treatment 1 (T1), Treatment 2 (T2) and Treatment 3 (T3). All rats were injected with alloxan (120 mg/Kg body weight) to induce prediabetes. T1 was maintained on a diet of standard food for 14 days. T2 and T3 were given 9 g/200 g body weight and 18 g/200 g body weight of tempeh, respectively, for 14 days. The Morris water maze (MWM) test was used to test spatial memory. Findings While there were no statistically significant differences between the treatment groups, there was a difference with the tempeh-treated rats improving their spatial memory following tempeh ingestion with a decrease in the travel time to negotiate the MWM [T1(−8.36), T2 (−5.48) and T3 (3.66)]. Differences of travel time of the three groups was not significant (p = 0.677). Originality/value The result of the study indicates that tempeh may act as a functional food in reducing cognitive impairment associated with prediabetes and diabetes. However, as the result is not statistically significant, further research using animal models and human studies is warranted.

Human resource management is the key component for every organization. The empowerment of human resource is a strategic decision which in return affects the organizational productivity. The purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of HR empowerment through information technology, cultural dimensions and organizational knowledge with their impact on Muhammadiyah higher education productivity in Indonesia. To address this objective, a questionnaire was developed as a core instrument to collect primary data from the employees of Muhammadiyah higher education. A final sample of 138 respondents was collected for applying the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach with the factor analyses. Additionally, validity of the questionnaire was observed through three measures; namely Cronbach’s alpha, average variance extracted and composite reliability. Findings through structural equation modelling approach specify that all three dimensions of HR empowerment have shown their positive and significant influences on Muhammadiyah higher education productivity. However, this study is limited by various perspective. First, data is collected from Indonesia through employees of Muhammadiyah higher education only with limited generalizability of the findings. Second, the study has not discussed the combine effects of human resource empowerment on the overall productivity of Muhammadiyah higher education but with individual dimensions like cultural, information technology and knowledge factors. The findings can be meaningful to boost the performance and productivity of higher education while understanding its structural relationship between human resource development.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to look at the correlation between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) with an increase in metabolic syndrome scores in obese female adolescents. Methodology: This research was founded by The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education 2019. A cross-sectional study, which used simple random sampling technique when selecting subjects, involving 80 female university students aged 18-21 years old at Universitas Diponegoro with waist circumference >80cm. The data studied were components of the metabolic syndrome, weight, height, and index-ring finger length. Anthropometric profiles were obtained using direct measurement. Fasting blood glucose, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol were measured using enzymatic colorimetric techniques. Metabolic syndrome data was converted to metabolic syndrome score (cMetS). Data analysis using Rank Spearman and Pearson correlation test. Results: High WHtR of 95%, high 2D:4D of the right hand of 21.3% and left hand of 33.8%. Most subjects had pre-metabolic syndrome (80%) while the rest had metabolic syndrome. Bivariate test results showed that WHtR was positively correlated with cMetS, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The right and left hand digit ratios did not correlate with cMetS nor with the components of the metabolic syndrome. Applications/Originality/Value: This study contributes to anthropometric references to detect metabolic syndrome.
