The existence of good corporate governance is expected to minimize the occurrence of earnings management practices when the company is in financial distress condition. This research aims to provide empirical evidence on the influence of financial distress on earnings management practices as well as the existence of good corporate governance projected by the proportion of independent commissioners and the proportion of audit committees in weakening the influence of financial distress on earnings management practices. The population of this study is property, real estate, and building construction sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2015-2019. Sampling techniques used are purposive sampling techniques and obtained samples as many as 185 samples. The earnings management tool used in this study was classification shifting. The data analysis techniques in this study used Eviews 10. The results of the analysis provide evidence that financial distress affects earnings management practices, while the proportion of independent commissioners is unable to moderate, and the audit committee strengthens the influence of financial distress on earnings management practices.

The attitude of disaster response to disaster-affected communities in general is an urgent priority to be given so that the community becomes resilient. So far, people are accustomed to relying on government assistance and are not able to provide an appropriate first response. This is because the community does not understand how to act appropriately when a disaster occurs in the area where they live. Law No. 24 of 2007 on Disaster Management. The subjects in this study were 110 Advanced Coaches, the Surabaya Kwarcab Helping Brigade, the Surabaya Kwarcab Care Scouts, the Surabaya Kwartir Branch Work Council using a knowledge scale on disaster response and psychoeducation related to Psychological First Aids. The results of the calculation of the t test (Paired Sample Test) obtained the results of t = 6.473 at p = 0.000. This means that between the pre-test and post-test of there is a very significant difference the experimental group in the knowledge of disaster response. The pre-test of the experimental group (Mean = 96.2553) was higher than the post-test of the experimental group (Mean = 88.5745), this indicates that PFA psychoeducation can increase knowledge about disaster response, thus indicating a significant relationship between psychoeducational independent variables. PFA with the dependent variable is knowledge about disaster response. The implication of this research is that it is expected to become an extension program so that it can increase knowledge related to disaster mitigation so that in the future members of the Rescue Brigadier can become the vanguard of disaster mitigation.

Background. Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease for which effective therapy has been long since invented. Thus, the morbidity has been decreased as technology has advanced, but the permanent disability has continuously generated stigma for centuries. The stigma causes the emergence of a poor psychological impact on people with leprosy (PwL). These impacts make new PwL reluctant to get appropriate therapy for their initial symptoms and are, thus, troublesome in accomplishing the goals of the leprosy elimination program. The aim of this review is to provide the history of psychological impact amongst PwL in countries across the globe. Methods. This is a literature review study. A keyword-based search was conducted in digital libraries. Articles reporting on PwL’s psychology and related issues, such as quality of life, opportunity of building a marriage, and getting hired, were included. The data were presented based on a leprosy history timeline with cutoff points, namely, the invention of promin (1941) and multidrug treatment (1970). Results. In total, 38 studies were included in this review. These studies showed that PwL’s knowledge towards leprosy has been increasing; nevertheless, their attitude is still lacking. The emotional response was described by various negative feelings that had persistently occurred. These poor psychological impacts were followed by poor treatment-seeking behavior and resulted in low quality of life. Conclusions. From year to year, the PwL’s knowledge about leprosy has been getting better; nevertheless, their attitude towards the disease is still poor. The emotional response, social participation, and quality of life of PwL are persistently poor due to the persistent stigma.

Hadith is the second source of reference for Islamic law after the Qur'an, which explains the sentences in the Qur'an which are still global by referring to the provisions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Classification of text documents can also be used to overcome the problem of interrelation between the Qur'an and hadith. The problem of interrelation between books of hadith needs to be done because some hadiths in certain hadith books have the same meaning as other hadith books. This study aims to analyze the development of text representation and classification methods suitable to overcome similarity meaning problems in detecting interrelationships between hadith books. The research method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) sourced from Google Scholar, Science Direct, and IEEE. There are 42 pieces of literature that have been studied successfully. The results showed that contextual embedding as the newest text representation method considered word context and sentence meaning better than static embedding. As a classification method, the ensemble method has better performance in classifying text documents than using only a single classifier model. Thus, future research can consider using a combination of contextual embedding and ensemble methods to detect interrelationships between books of hadith., Hadis merupakan sumber rujukan hukum Islam kedua sesudah Al-Qur’an, yang menjelaskan kalimat dalam Al-Qur’an yang masih bersifat global dengan mengacu pada ketetapan Nabi Muhammad SAW. Untuk memudahkan seorang muslim mempelajari Al-Qur’an maupun hadis dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan klasifikasi dokumen teks. Klasifikasi dokumen teks juga dapat digunakan untuk mengatasi permasalahan interelasi antara Al-Qur’an dan hadis. Namun, sejauh ini belum ada penelitian yang melakukan interelasi antar kitab hadis. Permasalahan interelasi antar kitab hadis perlu dilakukan karena pada beberapa hadis dalam kitab hadis tertentu memiliki kesamaan makna dengan kitab hadis lain sehingga perlu dikelompokkan sesuai dengan topiknya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perkembangan metode representasi teks dan metode klasifikasi supaya dapat ditemukan metode yang cocok untuk mengatasi permasalahan kesamaan makna pada pendeteksian interelasi antar kitab hadis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) yang bersumber dari Google Scholar, Science Direct dan IEEE. Setelah melalui proses penilaian kualitas literatur, terdapat 42 literatur yang berhasil dikaji. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan permasalahan kesamaan makna dapat diatasi dengan menggunakan contextual embedding. Contextual embedding merupakan metode representasi teks terbaru, yang mampu mempertimbangkan konteks kata dan makna kalimat lebih baik daripada static embedding. Dalam hal pendeteksian interelasi antar kitab hadis, ditemukan metode yang cocok digunakan sebagai metode klasifikasi adalah metode ensemble. Metode ensemble memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam mengelompokkan dokumen teks, daripada hanya menggunakan single classifier model saja. Dengan demikian, pada penelitian selanjutnya dapat dipertimbangkan penggunaan kombinasi contextual embedding dan metode ensemble untuk deteksi interelasi antar kitab hadis.

Background Gaming disorder is one of the mental disorders when someone does his spare time activity by playing the game and is addicted to playing online games. This condition is more common in adolescents and eventually could harm their health. Hence, the researchers interested to study the teenagers' profiles and intentions to identify their efforts and obstacles in restricting online games. Objective This study aimed to explore the profile and addiction scales of teenagers with online gaming disorder and to identify their intentions, plans, and obstacles in reducing their addictions. Method The study employed qualitative research with a phenomenology approach. The research included six online gamer participants. The researcher selected the participants by using a purposive sampling technique. They were game-addicted teenagers according to the scale of gaming addiction. The researchers collected the data with a guided interview and an observation list. They analyzed the data using phenomenology analysis. Results The scale of addiction data showed that all informants were in a high category of addiction. This scale of addiction was in line with their profiles of playing games at least five hours a day because they perceived playing games as an urgent activity to relieve stress or as entertainment. When they played online games, they held back hunger and skipped their meals, even though they were hungry and often held back urinating. Besides, being actively playing at night made them sleep in the daytime. In addition, the data showed that four of the informants stated that they had some intentions and plans to reduce or quit playing, but they did not have specific plans. They had not followed up on their readiness and had not known when to reduce or stop playing online games. Some obstacles cause them to have no intentions. Conclusion The profiles of the teenagers with gaming disorders showed a high category of addiction scale. They played online games as stress-relieving entertainment. When playing, they often held hunger, thirsty, urinating, and did not sleep at night. There were some teenagers with gaming disorders who had no intention of reducing or stopping the games. Meanwhile, some others were willing to reduce and quit the game, but they did not have any alternative activities and did not know when they will stop playing online games. Friends' invitation, the fun of playing games, problems of self-control/habits, the temptation of watching other gamers playing, boredom, and the new trend of the electronic game sport were the obstacles for the addictive teenagers to control their online gaming.

Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. In fact, diabetes is a disease that can occur due to genetic factors. The longer you have diabetes, the worse your quality of life will be. Interventions that can be used to improve the quality of life of patients by conducting genetic counseling. However, this intervention is still rarely implemented. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of genetic counseling on the quality of life in people with diabetes mellitus. This study used a Quasi-Experimental Without Control Group design with a pretest and posttest design. The sample used was 38 people, data collection was done by filling out a quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). A paired-Sample T-Test was used to test the hypothesis. Genetic counseling has an influence on the participants' quality of life (p < 0.05). This treatment needs to be carried out in daily nursing practice because there are benefits to the quality of life of diabetic patients.

Background: Retinal artery caliber (RAC) is narrower in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients beginning antiretroviral therapy (ART). We aimed to assess associations between variations in genes encoding inflammatory mediators and natural killer receptors and retinal artery caliber (RAC) in HIV patients beginning ART. Materials and Methods: Seventy-nine HIV positive patients beginning ART with less than 200 cluster of differentiation (CD) 4 T-cells/μL were recruited. Examinations were performed before ART (V0) and at months 3, 6 and 12 (V3, V6, V12). The study was approved by ethics committees and informed consent was obtained from each subject. Results: Right and left RAC of the HIV patients were narrower than healthy controls ( p =0.016 for right RAC) and narrowed further on ART, but demographic associations with the right and left RAC were not identical. Here we show that polymorphisms in genes encoding NK receptors or TNF activity had no significant impact, but right RAC was associated with carriage of allele 2 at IL1A+4845 ( p =0.037 after 12 months on ART). Conclusion: Overall the paradoxical reduction in the RAC in HIV patients responding to ART was not modified by genotypes known to affect NK cell function or TNF responses, but IL1A genotype may modify the decline in the right RAC. Keywords: anti-retroviral therapy, CMV, HIV, IL1A , retinal artery caliber

Background: Under normal conditions, the heart obtains ATP through the oxidation of fatty acids, glucose, and ketones. While fatty acids are the main source of energy in the heart, under certain conditions, the main source of energy shifts to glucose where pyruvate converts into lactate, to meet the energy demand. The Warburg effect is the energy shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis in the presence of oxygen. This effect is observed in tumors as well as in diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. If glycolysis is more dominant than glucose oxidation, the two pathways uncouple, contributing to the severity of the heart condition. Recently, several studies have documented changes in metabolism in several cardiovascular diseases; however, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: This literature review was conducted by an electronic database of Pub Med, Google Scholar, and Scopus published until 2020. Relevant papers are selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: A total of 162 potentially relevant articles after the title and abstract screening were screened for full-text. Finally, 135 papers were included for the review article. Discussion: This review discusses the effects of alterations in glucose metabolism, particularly the Warburg effect, on cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and cardiac hypertrophy. Conclusion: Reversing the Warburg effect could become a potential treatment option for cardiovascular diseases.

Yoga was a therapy that combined breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques and stretching exercises. The benefits of yoga in general could increase strength, flexibility, train balance, reduce pain, train breathing, smooth organ function, inner calm and improve quality of life. Several differences in the results of studies can influence the decisions of patients and health providers in planning appropriate interventions for breast cancer patients. This literature review aimed to explain the effectiveness of yoga on the quality of life of patients with breast cancer. The research data were identified from five journal databases including PubMed, JSTOR, Willey Online Library, Sage Journal and Taylor Francis Online by using the PIOS (Participant, Intervention, Outcomes and Study Design) method and MeSH term on the advanced search engine. Articles that became research data were articles published in 2007 to 2020 in the English version, open access and full text in the form of original articles or research articles. Of the 1,645 articles found, a screening process was carried out using PRISMA flowchart to eliminate articles that did not meet the criteria. In this literature review study, 9 articles were found that prove that the use of yoga interventions could improve the quality of life of patients. This study reinforced the findings of previous research which showed that yoga could be used effectively in the process of treating patients with breast cancer.

Cancer is a chronic disease that reduces the quality of life of the sufferer. High stressors and low coping due to disease prognosis, therapy management, and minimal social support, have an impact on poor psychological conditions. Therefore, we need complementary therapies such as yoga that is easy, cheap, and can be done independently. Yoga practice increases oxygen supply and relaxes muscles and joints which can increase hormonal work which is beneficial for the body physically and psychologically for cancer patients. Objective: This study aims to explain the effectiveness of yoga on increasing QoL (Quality of Life) in cancer patients. Research data were identified from 5 journal databases including PubMed, JSTOR (Journal Storage), Wiley Online Library, Sage Journal, and Taylor & Francis Online using the PIOS (Participant, Intervention, Outcomes and Study Design) method and MeSH term on advanced search engines. Articles that become research data are articles published in 2006-2020 in the English version, open access, and in full text in the original research article form. A total of 3050 articles were found, a screening process was carried out using the Prisma Protocol to eliminate articles that did not meet the criteria. This literature review study found 16 articles that prove that the use of yoga interventions can improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Cancer patients are advised to do self-care in the form of Yoga to improve their quality of life. Advanced research will need to compare the feasibility between yoga and different intervention.

A fraudulent financial statement is an issue that continues to be discussed as a form of deviation from corporate governance. Covid-19 pandemic has also demanded management to uphold the company's performance to have a good public image. Thus, the present study sets out to scrutinize the fraud pentagon theory on fraudulent financial statements. Each element is not able to be tested directly. However, there are proxies. The pressure element is proxied as a personal financial need. The opportunity is becoming the nature of industry. Each of the qualities of the external auditors as well as the change of directors propose rationalization and competence. The frequent number of CEO’s appearances in photos is a proxy of arrogance. The testing was carried out on the registered pharmaceutical companies of the Indonesian stock exchange in the span of the 2015-2019 period. The samples were selected by the means of sampling technique which is purposive. Data are scrutinized by the means of panel data regression. The analysis results show that the characteristics of the industry positively affects financial reports which are fraudulent. Changing top management positions such as directors can be an indication of financial reports which are fraudulent. The personal financial need variables, the caliber of external auditors and the quantity of CEO’s appearance in photos pose no effects on the fraudulent financial statements of the Indonesian's pharmaceutical companies.

This study aims to describe and analyze in-depth the restructuring of civic education as a step in facing the era of disruption. The presence of an era of increasingly massive disruption has prompted an overhaul of the concept of citizenship education learning in Indonesia, so that the delivery of civic education material remains relevant and the values and character of the nation are not eroded. Restructuring is one of the measures to rearrange and improve the civic education learning curriculum so that it is compatible with the increasingly rapid developments and advances in technology. The discussion on the new paradigm of civic education which contains three main dimensions of civic knowledge, civic skills, and civic deposition also needs to be reformulated, in order to answer problems related to the current development of the era of disruption. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with critical discourse analysis methods and literature reviews from several comprehensive literature and journals. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the presence of an era of disruption that has begun to erode the values and identity of the Indonesian nation needs to be overcome by increasing the understanding of nationality to citizens. One of them is by restructuring civic education. The restructuring is a process of rearranging or improving the formulation of a new paradigm that already exists in civic education by adapting these concepts to a wider area. It is hoped that with the restructuring of the content of citizenship education, the moral values of the nation will not be easily eroded by the presence of the era of disruption and instead become a reference for answering global problems.

The rapid development of the world must be balanced with strengthening the character of the Nation so that the younger generation does not lose the direction. Social problems caused by changes in cultural values among adolescents is one indicator of the declining character of the Indonesian nation. This condition is an alarm to improve the character of Indonesia from an early age. Through the Ministry of Education and Culture, the government has launched a program for Strengthening Character Education which was implemented early. Religious character becomes the main character that is proclaimed by the government to strengthen the character of the younger generation. Religious character has an important role as a director, guide, and balancer of other characters in students, so this character needs to be improved early on. The purpose of this study is to describe the role of religious characters in supporting the identity of the Indonesian nation's character. The method used is literature review. The results of this study will provide an overview of strategic steps to strengthen the religious character of senior highschool students.

Managerial performance may reflect organizational performance. The achievement of organizational goals closely related to managerial performance, but many researchers only look in terms of workforce performance, whereas managerial roles as leaders of organizations have a huge influence in making decisions. A leader also needs emotional intelligence related to how to make the right decisions according to the organization's goals. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of emotional intelligence on managerial performance directly and indirectly through decision making. The sample in this study amounted to 44 regional device organizations leaders in Bungo Regency. Data analysis method using path analysis. The results of the study note that emotional intelligence and decision making simultaneously affect managerial performance, but partially decision making has a more dominant influence. The indirect effect of emotional intelligence on managerial performance through decision making is greater than the direct influence of emotional intelligence on managerial performance, thus decision making is able to be an intermediary variable for the influence of emotional intelligence on managerial performance. The implication of the study is that if a managerial has good emotional intelligence it will be able to produce the right decision, so that it will have an impact on managerial performance.

Galang Island region's potential development into a tourism area depends on the physical potential, diversity of flora and fauna and activities that support the economic sector for residents around Galang Island. There are two types of ecotourism development recommendations, one concerning conservation which aims to preserve ecosystems and the second is the use of natural beauty as tourism background and facilities that support the surrounding resident's economy. The problem is how the two tourism recommendations can work together and what kind of synergy the recommendations are like. Through identification stages of the flora and fauna types and analysis of the economic activities of residents around Galang Island, produce a mapping of the potential that can be developed into a tourism area. In the ideation stage, the potential analysis can be realized by functional zone, namely conservation zones, recreation zones and their relationship to regional boundaries and the synergy relationship formed through the circulation concept. By the zones and circulation concept, the visualization phase will be more detailed explaining by the atmosphere that was formed as a synergy form in the Galang Island region design

In many countries where natural disasters often occur, such as Indonesia, information about the area affected by the disaster is very important. As in the transportation sector, road users must avoid affected areas and roads. To overcome this problem, in this paper we propose a Geographic Information System (GIS) to identify areas affected by natural disasters within a certain radius. We use a web-based and mobile platform to present an open access system. In addition, we utilize OpenStreetMap map data as a source of spatial database that is open, wide-scale, and complete. In the initial stage, polygon-shaped road data will be split in-to shorter line segments and stored in PostGIS Spatial DBMS. Furthermore, this system will automatically detect road segments that included within the radius of a natural disaster event. Displays of road segments affected by disasters will be accessible to users through web and mobile applications. In addition, we also test and evaluate our system in case studies in certain areas in Indonesia.

Coastal areas have been growing massively worldwide. The fast growth also affects the land value in either a positive or a negative way. Many scholars have studied land value and the factors that affect it in areas prone to sudden-onset disasters. In contrast, studies on urbanized coastal areas that suffer from slow-onset disasters are still lacking. Using a case study from Semarang City in Indonesia, this research aims at ameliorating this limitation. To comprehensively understand the aim, two research questions are addressed: (1) What is the distribution of land value in urbanized coastal areas? (2) How do the different distribution factors determine the land value? Based on in-depth interviews with key persons, map analyses, and desk studies, this research discovers that land value is distributed randomly among coastal areas. The dynamics of land value are determined by road access, distance, and accessibility to the city center and CBD, public facilities, transportation facilities, population composition, physical environment, and disasters. Surprisingly, the coastal areas in Semarang that experience combined disasters showed that disasters could not decrease the land value, the value in some areas is constant or even increasing. This shows the different impacts of disasters on land value for slow-onset disasters and sudden-onset disasters.

Recently, Android-based smartphones have become the market leader for mobile devices. Thus, the need for Android application developers has increased significantly. Following this trend, many schools and universities set up Android application programming to become the mandatory subject for IT students. In Android applications, utilizing data is necessary to make dynamic and interactive applications. Based on previous studies, the Android Programming Learning Assistance System (APLAS) has been applied as a self-learning platform for Android programming studies. In this paper, we implement the Basic Data Storage learning topic in APLAS as the first topic in the Content Provider stage (second stage). It offers learning materials and assignments for the Model-View-Viewmodel (MVVM) architecture with data binding, the utilization of Shared Preferences, and storing data in internal storage. The results of evaluation through 50 students of an IT department showed that all students have solved all assignments successfully. With the domination of positive comments from them, the effectiveness of this learning topic to support Android programming learning was confirmed.

According to the popularity of Android smartphone devices, the demand for Android application programmers has been increasing rapidly. Due to this fact, the subject of mobile application programming based on Android smartphones has become one of the important subjects in software development fields. In Android applications, the user interface takes an important role to make it interactive. Based on previous studies, the Android Programming Learning Assistance System (APLAS) has been used as a self-learning platform for Android programming studies. In this paper, we propose a web-based platform in APLAS for learning user interface design interactively using XML code. The 15 learning topics as learning materials cover the learning of UI layout and application resources. Students will get an assignment to be solved in each topic and the answer can be validated automatically on the server. To evaluate the effectiveness of this platform, we asked 40 students in an IT department in Indonesia to solve all topics. As the result, all students have successfully solved the 15 provided topics on schedule. Also, they gave positive comments regarding the ease of the learning process, which has confirmed the feasibility of our proposal to support learning UI design using XML.

The fisheries sector in Indonesia is one of the gross domestic products that has tremendous potential both for domestic and foreign (export). One of the most popular types of aquaculture sector is catfish cultivation. Catfish has an advantage over other animal products, namely that it contains high levels of leucine and lysine. This is an opportunity for the Indonesian people to take the opportunity to become catfish cultivators. Opportunity is also to become a seller of processed catfish products, or as a buyer of catfish. All these opportunities open the potential of a system that regulates catfish farming. One such system is called "Panen-Panen". "Panen-Panen" is an application where catfish sellers, support sellers, and buyers, even suppliers, gather. The application involves a lot of sociopreneurship mobilization between harvesters. Therefore, various problems arise ranging from standard costs, consistency of feeding, recording of daily catfish cultivation information, determination of raw materials and transportation costs, and feed suppliers. These various problems require the creation of a special supply chain management system for "Panen-Panen" catfish as a solution. The "Panen-Panen" catfish feed supply chain management system will be designed and built mobile-based rapid application development.

The business landscape in the courier services industry has a very significant change as a result of its high and rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia.

HIV-associated sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN) is a debilitating neurological complication of HIV infection potentiated by the antiretroviral drug stavudine. While stavudine is no longer used, HIV-SN now affects around 15% of HIV+ Indonesians. Here, we investigate whether polymorphisms within the P2X-block (P2X4R, P2X7R, CAMKK2) and/or ANAPC5 mark susceptibility to HIV-SN in this setting. As polymorphisms in these genes associated with HIV-SN in African HIV patients receiving stavudine, the comparison can identify mechanisms independent of stavudine. HIV patients who had never used stavudine (n = 202) attending clinics in Jakarta were screened for neuropathy using the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Brief Peripheral Neuropathy Screen. Open-array technology was used to type 48 polymorphisms spanning the four genes. Haplotypes were derived for each gene using fastPHASE. Haplogroups were constructed with median-joining methods. Multivariable models optimally predicting HIV-SN were based on factors achieving p

HIV patients responding to antiretroviral therapy (ART) have a high burden of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and display accelerated cardiovascular change assessed systemically. We assessed the effects of HIV, ART and CMV on retinal artery calibers (RAC), as a non-invasive measure of vasculopathy in HIV patients beginning ART. We analysed 79 HIV patients beginning ART in Jakarta, Indonesia, with a median (range) age of 31 (19-48) years. RAC was assessed using Image J software from fundus photos of both eyes, before ART (V0) and after 3-12 months (V3-V12). CMV DNA and antibodies were assessed. Systemic vascular pathology was assessed by carotid intima media thickness (cIMT). Multivariable models assessed which variables best predicted RAC values at V12. HIV patients had narrower retinal arteries and higher levels of CMV antibodies than healthy controls. RAC decreased over 12 months of ART (

The position of Indonesia which is located at the confluence of three plates (Eurasia, Indies Australia, and the Pacific) causes the formation of a series of volcanoes in some parts of the country and causes the formation of geothermal energy sources around the volcano. Geothermal energy is the energy of natural resources in the form of hot water or steam formed in a reservoir inside the earth through heating of subsurface water by igneous rocks (Team Pertamina, 2010). This geothermal energy can be used directly for drying agricultural production, tourism, and household needs or indirectly as a driver of electricity-generating turbines. In this study focused in East Java, the author discusses geothermal potential by using geoelectric methods in the never-ending area of fire to contribute manifestation information as one of the answers to the community and government which is expected to provide an idea of how large geothermal potential is using the geoelectric method in the fire area has never been extinguished by Pamekasan Madura. the distance between the 5-meter electrode. The long-term goal of this research is to obtain petroleum fuel energy in the pamekasan area. Geothermal research has been carried out on fire tours. This research uses the dipole-dipole configuration geoelectric method with the help of Delphi program. The results of this program are suitable for time-efficient calculations for geoelectric data processing. This program is equipped with Wenner, Schlumberger, dipole-dipole and pole-pole configuration options so that we can choose the configuration we need. the results of this study are Line1 stretching from North to South.

The teaching and learning process on campus is always supervised by paying attention to attendance. Some campuses use this attendance as a condition for taking the exam. However, the attendance system is still manual, which is by using a signature on the attendance sheet. This system has several weaknesses which include the occurrence of fraudulent attendance, difficulty in monitoring attendance, and data that cannot be presented quickly. The study proposes an attendance system using fingerprints connected to wireless networks that are already available on campus. Wireless networks are used as a medium of communication between attendance tools and database servers. The use of wireless networks aims to facilitate equipment used in classrooms during the lecture process. Attendance tool designed on a single Raspberry Pi computer board that is equipped with fingerprint sensors, power banks and LCD screens. While wireless LAN devices are integrated in the Raspberry Pi boar. The attendance system begins with an enroll process to save the lecturer and student fingerprint templates. Each template is given an ID to be stored on the database server using TCP wireless and protocol networks. The enroll process observations require an average time of 4 seconds which consists of: transmission time and time identification of fingerprint characteristics to the creation of fingerprint templates. The attendance process in lecture activities begins with the absence of lecturers and is followed by students. The average time needed to do attendance is 4 seconds. During the data attendance process can transmit between the attendance device (client) and server. Through a fingerprint-based attendance device based on the available wireless network infrastructure in the campus, it can improve the efficiency of attendance monitoring in real time.

A virtual laboratory with a network emulator environment using NetKit is one of series of basic network laboratories on basic computer network competencies where students are given practical trial opportunities at low costs and little effort in their implementation. Teaching computer network subjects to be easily understood by students needs an instructional media as a tool in delivering material. This media uses computer virtualization technology, i.e. creating a virtual laboratory, as a means of students in conducting experiments from the material that has been obtained. In virtual laboratories it is possible to implement network topology designs based on actual network topologies. This implementation is used as a testing tool before the network topology is implemented on the actual network. Therefore, errors can be identified first without disturbing the system that is already running. For testing, the students are given training using a basic network design consisting of the implementation of routing tests, firewalls, ftp server implementation and web server. This paper is aimed at describing ways to develop a virtual laboratory with a network emulator environment using NetKit. Moreover, several exercises on network topology implementation that are applied directly to the real world with NetKit are introduced, such as describing laboratory settings, describing the main parts of the lab, illustrating lab instructions, and reporting lab feeds.

Safeguarding motorized vehicleswith arm vibrators using ultrasonic sensorsand Bluetooth is an innovation in safetysystems on motorized vehicles (Motorbikes).This tool uses a proximity sensor and armvibrator, which this tool will work if themotor vehicle (motorcycle) is too close to theobject in front of it. When the sensor hasdetected an object, the vibrator willautomatically vibrate the arm. When thevibrator vibrates, that will be a sign that thedriver is too close to the vehicle in front ofhim, so the driver will maintain a safedistance from other vehicles in front. Theobjectives of this research activity includeknowing the concept of developing a safetysystem on motorized vehicles that can preventaccidents, when motorists are negligent incontrolling the speed of their vehicles on thehighway.

We obtained 28 patients with asthma bronchiole in this study. The presumptive diagnosis of allergy was made on the basis of history and physical examination. The positive result of the skin test to inhalant extracts and positive history of inhalant allergy add a confirmatory evidence in the diagnosis of inhalant allergy. The diagnosis of food allergy was judged by positive result in the provocation test. This study provided 15 patients with food allergy and 13 patients with food and inhalant allergy. House dust a1Jd mites were the most prevalent positive result in the skin test. While in the provocation test, egg ·and milk were found as the most prevalent food causing symptoms of allergy. The skin test predicted the atopy with an efficiency of 53.5%, While Phadiatop Paediatric predicted the atopy with an efficiency of 82.1 %. We concluded, as a screening procedure in allergy, the Phadiatop Paediatric is better than the skin test. Nevertheless the skin test has its superiority in the development of logical environmental controls and as a guide to immunotherapy in inhalant allergy.

This research aims to see how is access to maternal services in the pandemic era. Maternal patients with COVID-19 without symptoms (co-incidence) can only access a limited number of health facilities and make it more challenging to access healthcare services. Whereas previously, with the integrated referral system, it was easier for patients to access healthcare services. All childbirth during the pandemic takes place in a Healthcare Facility. Pregnant women with suspected, probable, and confirmed COVID-19 would have childbirth at a COVID-19 referral hospital. Based on our study results, as the conclusion, patients with an integrated referral system will be easy to get access to healthcare services. Maternal patients with confirmed COVID-19 without any symptoms have limited access to the health facilities, making access to healthcare services is not easy as before. Easy access to healthcare services is a patient’s right, including a pregnant women’s right with confirmed COVID-19. Therefore, the government needs to increase the number of COVID-19 Referral Hospital. To provide healthcare services, the Specialized Hospital for Mother and Child can handle the normal childbirth of COVID-19 patients. It is necessary to make regulations on the childbirth of COVID-19 patients at the Specialized Hospital for Mother and Child.

However, based on linear regression analysis, student learning outcomes are influenced by student perception factors and students' visual learning styles (P

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common chronic disease in children. Allergic symptomsaffect daily activities and increase risk of psychosocial emotion and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). Immunotherapy has been proven in improving AR symptomsObjective: To identify prevalence of the risk of psychosocial emotion disorder and ADHD and its relationwith immunotherapy duration in AR children.Methods: A cross-sectional study was held in AR children aged 4-18 years at Allergy Immunology OutpatientClinic, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, during March 2017. Immunotherapy duration categorized into 0-6 months, 6months-1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years. Psychosocial emotion disorder risk assessed using Pediatric SymptomsChecklist 17 (PSC-17), scored into four different subscales: Internalizing, Externalizing, Attention, andTotal Score. ADHD risk was assessed using Abbreviated Conner’s Rating Scale (ACRS). Statistical analysisusing One-Way ANOVA and Eta test, with a value of p< 0.05 considered as significant.Results: Total of 37 children included. Based on immunotherapy duration 0-6 months, 6 months-1 year, 1-2years, and 2-3 years, prevalence risk of ADHD are 20.6%, 15.4%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, and prevalence ofpsychosocial emotion disorder risk are only in immunotherapy duration 6 months-1 year 12.5%. There wereno correlation between immunotherapy duration with risk of psychosocial emotion disorder (p = 0.945) andsignificantly correlated to ADHD (p = 0.049, r = 0.326).Conclusion: Prevalence risk of ADHD decrease as the immunotherapy duration increase and immunotherapyduration weakly correlated with risk of ADHD.

Financial technology has been growing significantly over the last few years all around the world. In this chapter, we study the impact of financial technology on the risk and performance of commercial banks as the incumbent in the industry. The authors combine a cross-country dataset resulting in 336 country-year observations. The authors find that financial technology, more particular the growing of adoption in mobile money, has been considered to increase the risk of banks. However, the authors do not find any evidence that the performance of commercial banks has significantly eroded by the presence of financial technology.

ObjectivesAccelerated atherosclerosis in older HIV-infected patients has been attributed to persistent immune activation and high burden cytomegalovirus (CMV), as demonstrated in transplant recipients and the general population. Here we assess CMV and inflammatory markers linked with vascular health in young adult patients treated in Indonesia.Study designHIV-infected adults (n = 32) were examined when they began antiretroviral therapy (ART) with MethodsFlow Mediated Dilatation (FMD) was assessed by ultrasound on brachial arteries at V60 and in HC. Plasma markers of immune activation and endothelial activation, and CMV antibodies (lysate, gB, IE-1) were assessed in all samples. Results were assessed using bivariate (non-parametric) and multivariable analyses.ResultsLevels of inflammatory biomarkers and CMV antibodies declined on ART, but the antibodies remained higher than in HC. FMD values were similar in patients and HC at V60. In HIV patients, levels of CMV lysate antibody correlated inversely (r = − 0.37) with FMD. The optimal model predicting lower FMD values (adjusted R2 = 0.214, p = 0.012) included CMV lysate antibodies and chondroitin sulphate. In HC, levels of sTNFR correlated inversely with FMD (r = − 0.41) and remained as a risk factor in the optimal multivariable model, with CMV glycoprotein-B (gB) antibody predicting a healthier FMD (adjusted R2 = 0.248, p = 0.013).ConclusionsHigher levels CMV antibodies optimally predict vascular health measured by FMD in HIV patients. However in healthy controls, sTNFR marks risk and CMV gB antibody may be protective.

Objective: socializing hearing loss examination and early detection to patients and their families in deaf type B schools. Methods: A community service program in the form of socialization was performed to the family of patients with hearing loss in deaf school type B, Surabaya, Indonesia. Pretest and posttest were conducted to determine the initial understanding and post socialization knowledge of these people. We also asked the participants to fill on a questionnaire regarding the possible causes of the hearing loss (family history, drug use, history of disease, and history of head trauma). Results: Based on the summary of pretest and posttest from the participants, an increase in participants’ knowledge of hearing lost was found. This activity was attended by 90 family members of 37 patients with hearing loss. Pre and post test results. The results of the questionnaire showed that 94.59% of the patients came from Javanese ethnicity. As many as 21.62% of patients had a family history of hearing loss, and even 2 patients had a father, mother, and sibling with hearing loss. A total of 18.92% had a history of using ototoxic drugs, 16.22% had a history of maternal Rubella infection during pregnancy, and 2.7% had a history of head trauma. Conclusion: Socialization program was effective to increase knowledge of congenital hearing loss for family of deaf schoolchildren. The result of the questionnaire showed that deaf schoolchildren had several risk factors for the occurrence of hearing loss. Similar program can be performed in communities in other areas to increase prevention and early detection of hearing loss in Indonesia.

In this research, we show a development process of engagement sub-systems in a blended-learning management system and evaluate the impact of student interaction in the whole system. We develop special sub-systems for engagement purposes via forum, course rating, and class assignment modules. During the system development process, we employ continuous improvement methodology which helps to shorten the software delivery time without disturbing the overall operation. We evaluate the impact of engagement processes in terms of behavioral, emotional and cognitive aspects. Our evaluation results show that by employing the engagement sub-systems we have increased a 0.30 satisfaction point on average (1-5 Likert scale) for 11 evaluation survey questions distributed to 305 students during 2 times evaluation period. Another interesting finding from the surveys is that behavioral (discussion forum and attendance list sub-system) and cognitive (course rating sub-system) aspects have great influences for the students’ activities (class assignment sub-system) which finally has a great impact on their cognitive performances.
