A web-based blood donation system with identification card for blood donor using QR code / Nur Amalia Nainun

Currently, the registration for blood donation is done manually which donor have to fill the same registration form every time they make donation. This process discourage lots of possible donor. Beside, this manual system has obvious weaknesses, that it gives load of paper works, manual filing works and data redundancy, apart from requiring lots of space and time to manage the files. The record for blood donation is save in the blood donation record books. Donor face difficulties when they have to bring the record book when they want to make donation. In contrast with the Web Based Blood Donation System for Blood Donor Using QR Code, which is an embedded system that combines a web-based type of system with an identification card function. The card features include the donor details like donor’s name, NRIC blood type, and QR Code. This QR code is printed on the card to store the details of the donor. The QR code is generate from the donor’s NRIC. The purpose of this study is to design and develop a web-based blood donation system with QR Code by using rule-based technique. The method that has been used in this study is incremental model. The language used to design this system is PHP, whilst the language used for the interface is HTML and CSS. phpMyAdmin is used as the database in this system. In the preliminary stage, questionnaires are designed to elicit information to help further research in the study. From this questionnaire the public feedback about the blood donation service are recorded. Based on the questionnaire conducted, it is found that most of the donor prefer to use blood donation card instead of blood donation record book. Beside, computerized system give a clear advantage over a manual system. This system is seen to be able to overcome the problems arising from use of the blood donation record book and manual system. For future work, computerize blood donor qualification questionnaire, donor health record, available donating date notification to donor after three month of previous donation and calendar in donor page will enhance the use of the system

LOCATION BASED SERVICE PADA PEMETAAN GEOGRAFIS MOBIL UNIT DONOR DARAH

The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) is a national association organization engaged in social humanity. In meeting the need for blood, PMI created a special unit, namely the Blood Donor Unit or abbreviated as UDD. UDD PMI Semarang City has a program called Car Unit. The Mobile Unit is a blood donation activity that will be carried out if there is a request from a group/agency that proposes cooperation with UDD PMI Semarang City. Currently, to get information on the location of the blood donor activity carried out by PMI Semarang City, donors can view it via social media, but the information disseminated only contains addresses, and donors do not know which location is closest to their location. In addition, based on the results of interviews with PMI, groups/agencies that have not collaborated with PMI when submitting requests for blood donation activities must come to PMI Semarang City. So, to answer this problem the Geographic Mapping Application of the Blood Donor Unit Car is deemed necessary as a navigational information medium for blood donor locations around the city of Semarang. With the prototype system development method and built using Leaflet JS, which is a java script library that is useful for building web-based interactive maps using the Location Based Service (LBS) method, this system functions to manage car unit activities and find the location of the car unit closest to potential blood donors where produces a percentage of test results 92% of users are helped. It is hoped that this system can be accessed by the entire community and accepted by the PMI Semarang Constitution as a means of navigating potential blood donors.Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) merupakan organisasi perhimpunan nasional yang bergerak di bidang sosial kemanusiaan. Dalam memenuhi kebutuhan darah, PMI membuat suatu unit khusus yaitu Unit Donor Darah atau disingkat UDD. UDD PMI Kota Semarang mempunyai program yang disebut Mobil Unit. Mobil Unit adalah kegiatan donor darah yang akan dilaksanakan jika terdapat permintaan dari kelompok/instansi yang mengajukan kerjasama kepada UDD PMI Kota Semarang. Saat ini untuk mendapatkan informasi lokasi kegiatan donor darah yang dilaksanakan oleh PMI Kota Semarang, pendonor bisa melihat melalui media sosial, tetapi informasi yang disebarluaskan hanya berisi alamat, dan pendonor tidak mengetahui lokasi mana yang terdekat dengan lokasinya. Selain itu berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan pihak PMI, kelompok/instansi yang belum menjalin kerjasama dengan PMI saat mengajukan permintaan kegiatan donor darah harus datang ke PMI Kota Semarang. Maka untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut Aplikasi Pemetaan Geografis Mobil Unit Donor Darah dirasa perlu sebagai media informasi navigasi tempat donor darah di sekitar kota Semarang. Dengan metode pengembangan sistem prototype serta dibangun menggunakan LeafletJS yaitu library java script yang berguna untuk membangun peta interaktif berbasis web dengan metode Location Based Service (LBS), sistem ini berfungsi untuk mengelola kegiatan mobil unit dan mencari lokasi mobil unit terdekat dengan calon pendonor darah dimana menghasilkan presentase hasil uji 92% pengguna terbantu. Sistem ini diharapkan dapat diakses oleh seluruh masyarakat dan diterima UDD PMI Kota Semarang sebagai sarana navigasi calon pendonor darah

Paired and altruistic kidney donation in the UK: Algorithms and experimentation

We study the computational problem of identifying optimal sets of kidney exchanges in the UK. We show how to expand an integer programming-based formulation due to Roth et al. [2007] in order to model the criteria that constitute the UK definition of optimality. The software arising from this work has been used by the National Health Service Blood and Transplant to find optimal sets of kidney exchanges for their National Living Donor Kidney Sharing Schemes since July 2008. We report on the characteristics of the solutions that have been obtained in matching runs of the scheme since this time. We then present empirical results arising from experiments on the real datasets that stem from these matching runs, with the aim of establishing the extent to which the particular optimality criteria that are present in the UK influence the structure of the solutions that are ultimately computed. A key observation is that allowing four-way exchanges would be likely to lead to a moderate number of additional transplants

Sunny Samaritans and Egomaniacs: Price-Fixing in the Gamete Market

Krawiec compares the egg market to sperm market to illustrate the extent to which public-interest rhetoric enables private wealth transfers in the egg market. She also illuminates why such rhetoric is so effective, playing on deeply held societal norms. In addition, she provides an overview of the oocyte business, highlighting issues relating to recruitment, compensation, controversy, retrieval, and risk. She does the same for the sperm business. Furthermore, she discusses the anticompetitive behavior in the egg market and argues that the horizontal price-fixing embodied in the American Society for Reproductive Medicine\u27s pricing guidelines violates the Sherman Act. Lastly, she concludes that market forces, rather than collusive industry agreement, must be allowed to determine the proper mix of altruism and monetary payment that ultimately constitutes total egg donor compensation
