SME’s Enterprise Resource Planning Implementation, Competitive Advantage, and Marketing Performance

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integrated application software for widespread use in the organization. The aim of this study is to determine factors that affect the successful implementation of ERP in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Central Java in order to build competitive ad-vantage and increase marketing performance. To test the 9 hypothesis, this study utilized data from 107 SMEs in Central Java. The results revealed that variable hardware and software selection have the greatest influence toward the successful implementation in Small and Medium Enterprises. It is suggested that SMEs should gain knowledge and solidify its business process reengineering before implementing ERP. Research paper Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Raharjo, S.

RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF DYSHORMONGENETIC GOITRE

Dyshormonogenetic goitre is a rare thyroid entity which occurs due to enzymatic deficiency in the physiological process of thyroxin synthesis resulting in goitre formation. This has to be differentiated from iodine deficiency goitres for their similarity in clinical presentation, hormonal profile and on scintigraphy studies. This differentiation is vital for the reason that Dyshormonogenetic goitre (DHGG) needs to be treated with thyroxin while Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) requires simple dietary iodine supplementation. 

On social function: new language for discussing technology for social action

Designers of technology for social action can often become embroiled in issues of platform and technical functionality at a very early stage in the development process, before the precise social value of an approach has been explored. The loyalty of designers to particular technologies and to ways of working can divide activist communities and, arguably, has weakened the social action world’s performance in exploiting technology with maximum usefulness and usability. In this paper, we present a lexicon for discussing technology and social action by reference to the intention and relationship to use, rather than to detailed functionality. In short, we offer a language to support discussions of social function, and thus to avoid premature commitment or argument about architecture or implementation details.</p

Circular 35

Revised April 1991 by Grant E.M. Matheke, Patricia J. Wagner, and Patricia S. Holloway; Reprinted by Cooperative Extension Service, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and U.S.D.A. Cooperating. Publication 300C-00235A technique for growing high-yielding, everbearing strawberries with clear polyethylene (plastic) mulch and row covers has been developed at the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station at Fairbanks. This technique eliminates the long delay from planting to fruiting that occurs with other culture systems and it has created an interest in commercial production and an increased home-garden effort in Alaska. The production system involves planting nursery plants each season as early as possible through clear polyethylene mulch, using row covers for the early part o f the season. Using this technique, harvest begins about July 15 and extends until freeze-up, com pared to a production season from about July 10 to July 28 for hardy types o f strawberries such as Toklat or Pioneer. This system produces clean fruit, easy to pick and relatively free from fruit rot. The harvest season can be extended in the fall by again using the row covers for frost protection

Comparisonal Evalulation of Clinical and paraclinical characteristics of Bronchial Asthma with Asthma and Rhinosinustis.

Introduction: Asthma is the chronic inflammatory disease of lower airway that manifesting clinically as cough, dyspnea and wheeze. According to studies, asthma is frequently associated with rhinosinusitis and r/s can be a predisposing and exacerbating factor for asthma. Regarding the direct role of R/S in Severity and control of asthma, we decided to assess and compare clinical and paraclinical characteristics of asthma base on the presence or absence of r/s in patients. Material & Methods: This cross sectional study was done from 1 Azar 1386 to 31 Tir 1387 on asthmatic Patients that refer to Ardabil Imam khomeini Hospital. 90 asthmatic patients were contributed in this study. The patients information consist of: 1. The severity of asthma symptoms and r/s history 2. Clinical findings (respiratory status, cyanosis and paradoxical pulse) 3. Paraclinic findings (CXR, PNS – XR, spirometry, WBC count and eosinophilia). In this study, comorbidity of asthma and r/s and influence of r/s on severity of asthma was evaluated. The data of patients were analyzed utilizing SPSS Soft ware and T- test and chi- Squares. Results: Among 90 asthmatic patients, 66 (73%) patients had evidencs of R/S. 40 (60%) patients had the history of sinonasal symptoms. The most common symptom was nasal congestion (39.4%) and on PNS- XR the most common involved sinus was bilateral maxillary sinus (72. 7%) There was no meaningful difference in severity of symptoms between asthmatic patients with and without r/s , but most of asthmatic patients with r/s had moderate persistent symptoms and most of patients without r/s had mild intermittent and mild persistent symptoms. There was meaningful difference between asthma severity as measured by lung function test. (FEV= 83.13 in asthmatics without r/s versus 70.52, P < 0.05). In comparing the staging of asthma, the most of asthmatics with r/s were in Stage 3 (42.4%) but the most of patients without r/s were in stage 1 (%48.7) that was meaningful difference. (p= 0.002) In addition to, using of pharmacologic therapy, oral and injectional steroid, history of admission in hospital, signs of severe disease (Cyanosis and paradoxical pulse) in asthmatics with r/s were more than in patients without r/s. There was no meaningful difference in WBC count and eosinophilia in two groups of patients. Conclusion: Rhinosinusitis is frequently comorbid with asthma that may contribute to more severity and poor control of asthma and affect asthmatic severity as measured by lung function test
