Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengulas tentang urgensi pengelolaan arsip personal, membahas tahapan pengelolaan berlandaskan records continuum model dan mendiskusikan alternatif pengelolaan arsip personal dengan memanfaatkan aplikasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan objek penelitian pada Rukun Warga (RW) Punukan, Kulon Progo. Data primer didapatkan dari wawancara dan focus grup discussion dengan para informan yakni ibu-ibu anggota Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) yang merupakan penanggung jawab arsip di lingkup keluarga. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa arsip personal perlu dikelola mengingat fungsinya yang krusial dalam menunjukkan perjalanan hidup, memberikan bukti kepemilikan dan menjamin hak seseorang serta membentuk memori kolektif. Berdasarkan records continuum model, penelitian ini menemukan kategori arsip personal yang dihasilkan (created) oleh warga Punukan meliputi identitas, kesehatan, keuangan, asuransi, aset, pendidikan, pekerjaan dan lain-lain. Perekaman (capture) dapat dilakukan melalui alih media dan lahir secara digital (born digital). Kajian ini juga menemukan berbagai kendala yang ditemui warga Punukan dalam pengorganisasian (organize) arsip elektronik. Hambatan disebabkan oleh kerusakan perangkat, tersebarnya arsip pada banyak perangkat serta tidak adanya penamaan file serta klasifikasi. Pemilik arsip personal memiliki alternatif dalam mengelola arsip mereka dengan memanfaatkan aplikasi seperti Arsip Keluarga (AKAR), Aplikasi Elektronik Masyarakat (Emas) dan FamilySearch. Kendati demikian, pengguna disarankan memilih aplikasi dengan sistem keamanan tinggi agar tidak terjadi kebocoran informasi

Backup, Recovery and Archiving of Files in a Multi-Access Computing System

General-purpose multi-access computing systems with files stored on random-access devices require that these files be protected. If the total on-line storage is inadequate there is a need for wellorganized off-line storage. This thesis discusses the management problems involved in handling backup and archive copies of files. In Part I we review what a number of systems, including the Edinburgh Multi-Access System (EMAS), have achieved. We also consider the influences of hardware and other forms of computing system. In Part II we return to EMAS and propose a design and an implementation to provide comprehensive facilities, for backup copies of files and recovery of them, and also for archive storage

Investigating Real-World Benefits of High-Frequency Gain in Bone-Anchored Users with Ecological Momentary Assessment and Real-Time Data Logging

Purpose: To compare listening ability (speech reception thresholds) and real-life listening experience in users with a percutaneous bone conduction device (BCD) with two listening programs differing only in high-frequency gain. In situ real-life experiences were recorded with ecological momentary assessment (EMA) techniques combined with real-time acoustical data logging and standard retrospective questionnaires. Methods: Nineteen experienced BCD users participated in this study. They all used a Ponto 4 BCD from Oticon Medical during a 4-week trial period. Environmental data and device parameters (i.e., device usage and volume control) were logged in real-time on an iPhone via a custom iOS research app. At the end of the trial period, subjects filled in APHAB, SSQ, and preference questionnaires. Listening abilities with the two programs were evaluated with speech reception threshold tests. Results: The APHAB and SSQ questionnaires did not reveal any differences between the two listening programs. The EMAs revealed group-level effects, indicating that in speech and noisy listening environments, subjects preferred the default listening program, and found the program with additional high-frequency gain too loud. This finding was corroborated by the volume log-subjects avoided the higher volume control setting and reacted more to changes in environmental sound pressure levels when using the high-frequency gain program. Finally, day-to-day changes in EMAs revealed acclimatization effects in the listening experience for ratings of "sound quality" and "program suitability" of the BCD, but not for ratings of "loudness perception" and "speech understanding". The acclimatization effect did not differ among the listening programs. Conclusion: Adding custom high-frequency amplification to the BCD target-gain prescription improves speech reception in laboratory tests under quiet conditions, but results in poorer real-life listening experiences due to loudness.</p

ANALISIS KUALITAS DAN FASILITAS SWAARSIP WEB REPOSITORI INSTITUSI LEMBAGA PENELITIAN: PERBANDINGAN LIPI DAN LEMBAGA INTERNASIONAL

Many research organization have been developing institutional repositories (IRs) to increase their researches impact, but in Indonesia there is only one research organization’s IR i.e. Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia/LIPI) Institutional Repository. Therefore, the study of this IRs is very important to encourage research organizations to develop their IRs. This study analyzed the quality and self-archiving facilities of LIPI and world best IRs website based on Webometrics ranking. The method used web analysis on content, features and policies. The result showed that best quality IRs has a mandatory regulations to deposit researcher’s scientific work as well as a clear policy on the type of content, copyrights, and access. These IRs also provide informative features and services to supporting researcher’s self-archiving as well as facilitating public to access the web

PENTINGNYA PERSONAL DIGITAL ARCHIVE DALAM KEHIDUPAN SEHARI – HARI (THE IMPORTANT OF PERSONAL DIGITAL ARCHIVE IN DAILY ACTIVITY)

AbstractPersonal Digital Archive is one of the important things in daily life, as the purpose of preserving private archives that are mostly produced in digital form. However, some people  tend not to consider it so important, sometimes they end up with missing, corrupted, and inaccessible personal files in that digital form. There will be so many benefits of the private archive preservation in the long term. Good personal digital archive management has a very significant impact on a person, even after the death of that person. This may be useful for future research or inheritance for families after the death. This paper discusses views on how important to manage personal digital archiving in daily life, as well as guidance on how to do personal digital archiving  as a good effort of preservation of personal digital archive for long period of time. It is an easy thing to collect personal digital content, but it will take a lot of time to manage it. The average person can collect hundreds of thousands of emails, digital photos, text messages, audio visual recordings, and other digital files in a lifetime. If the file is not properly managed, it will be difficult to find, identify, and access the content in the future. 

Symptomatic androgen deficiency develops only when both total and free testosterone decline in obese men who may have incident biochemical secondary hypogonadism: prospective results from the EMAS

Objective: Limited evidence supports the use of free testosterone (FT) for diagnosing hypogonadism when sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is altered. Low total testosterone (TT) is commonly encountered in obesity where SHBG is typically decreased. We aimed to assess the contribution of FT in improving the diagnosis of symptomatic secondary hypogonadism (SH), identified initially by low total testosterone (TT), and then further differentiated by normal FT (LNSH) or low FT (LLSH). Design: Prospective observational study with a median follow‐up of 4.3 years. Patients: 3369 community‐dwelling men aged 40‐79 years from eight European centres. Measurements: Subjects were categorised according to baseline and follow‐up biochemical status into persistent eugonadal (referent group; n=1880), incident LNSH (eugonadism to LNSH; n=101) and incident LLSH (eugonadism to LLSH; n=38). Predictors and clinical features associated with the transition from eugonadism to LNSH or LLSH were assessed. Results: The cumulative incidence of LNSH and LLSH over 4.3 years was 4.9% and 1.9% respectively. Baseline obesity predicted both LNSH and LLSH but the former occurred more frequently in younger men. LLSH, but not LNSH, was associated with new/worsened sexual symptoms, including low desire [OR= 2.67 (1.27‐5.60)], erectile dysfunction [OR= 4.53 (2.05‐10.01)] and infrequent morning erections [OR= 3.40 (1.48‐7.84)]. Conclusions: These longitudinal data demonstrate the importance of FT in the diagnosis of hypogonadism in obese men with low TT and SHBG. The concurrent fall in TT and FT identifies the minority (27.3%) of men with hypogonadal symptoms, which were not present in the majority developing low TT with normal FT

The influence of motivations and barriers in the benefits. An empirical study of EMAS certified business in Spain

The main objective of this research is to analyze through a structured questionnaire, the influence of the motivations that lead companies to implement Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and the barriers found in the benefits perceived by companies, as well as, the degree of difficulty perceived for the implementation of the different requirements to be fulfilled, which are established in the regulation. An extensive review of the academic literature published on motivations, barriers, difficulties and benefits in environmental standards has been carried out in order to establish the working hypotheses which refer to the relationship between motivations, barriers with the benefits and degree of difficulty in implementing the requirements. The empirical investigation was carried out in a sample of 114 of the 255 companies of the Autonomous Community of Galicia (Spain) that have EMAS certification. The methodology used was the use of the application of a regression analysis to test the hypotheses; previously the measurement scales were validated and an exploratory factorial analysis was applied in order to determine the structure of the different variables considered in the study. The results show that the motivations affect the benefits positively and on the contrary, affect the barriers negatively (reduce them) and it was observed that the greater the barriers, the lower the benefits obtained from the implementation of EMAS (negative influence). The proposed regression models show the joint influence of the motivations and barriers on the benefits considered.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

Performance measurement and evaluation of time-shared operating systems

Time-shared, virtual memory systems are very complex and changes in their performance may be caused by many factors - by variations in the workload as well as changes in system configuration. The evaluation of these systems can thus best be carried out by linking results obtained from a planned programme of measurements, taken on the system, to some model of it. Such a programme of measurements is best carried out under conditions in which all the parameters likely to affect the system's performance are reproducible, and under the control of the experimenter. In order that this be possible the workload used must be simulated and presented to the target system through some form of automatic workload driver. A case study of such a methodology is presented in which the system (in this case the Edinburgh Multi-Access System) is monitored during a controlled experiment (designed and analysed using standard techniques in common use in many other branches of experimental science) and the results so obtained used to calibrate and validate a simple simulation model of the system. This model is then used in further investigation of the effect of certain system parameters upon the system performance. The factors covered by this exercise include the effect of varying: main memory size, process loading algorithm and secondary memory characteristics
