Optimasi parameter resistance spot welding pada pengabungan baja electro-galvanized menggunakan metode Taguchi

The present study features analytical and experimental results of optimizing resistance spot welding performed using a pneumatic (electrode) force system (PFS). This optimization was carried out to incorporate the galvanized steel sheet material SECC-AF (JIS G 3313) and SPCC-SD (JIS 3141) sheet plate coated with zinc with a thickness of about 2.5 microns. The zinc coating on the metal surface causes its weldability to decrease. This study aims to obtain the highest tensile shear strength test results from the combination of the specified resistance spot welding parameters. The research method used the Taguchi method using four variables and a combination of experimental tingkats. This study's experimental tingkat is two tingkats in the first parameter and three tingkats in other parameters. Taguchi optimization results show that the highest tensile shear strength test obtained is 5049.64 N. This was achieved at 22 cycles of squeeze time, 25 kA of welding current, and 0,6-second welding-time, and 12 cycles of holding-time. The S / N ratio analysis found that the welding time had the most significant effect, followed by welding current, holding time, and squeeze time. The delta S / N ratio values were 0.62, 0,41, 0.34 and 0.07, respectively

Sociodemographic and behavioural risk factors associated with low awareness of diabetes mellitus medication in Indonesia: Findings from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5)

IntroductionLow awareness of the necessity of taking medication is common among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) due to their lack of understanding of the disease. Therefore, it is essential to determine the underlying risks influencing low awareness to design effective intervention strategies. This study aims to evaluate the association of sociodemographic and behavioural factors with low awareness to take medication among patients with DM in Indonesia.MethodRetrospective data were obtained from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5), a national cross-sectional population-based survey among respondents with DM aged ≥15 years. DM status was confirmed by HbA1c testing, while sociodemographic and other health-related information was obtained from self-reported data. Gender, age, educational level, marital status, economic status, comorbidity, religiosity, residence and health insurance status were considered sociodemographic, whereas blood glucose monitoring status, sleeping problems, depression status, having a general medical check-up, satisfaction with healthcare needs and happiness status were considered behavioural risk factors. Awareness of DM medication was determined by self-reported responses to the question asked by the surveyor. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between sociodemographic and behavioural factors and low awareness of DM medication. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported.ResultMost of the 706 respondents were female (58.8%) and aged 55–65 years (28.8%). Most of them showed low awareness of diabetes medication (87.7%). Irregular blood glucose monitoring (OR: 23.61, 95% CI 11.46–48.65; p < 0.001), without any comorbidity (OR: 2.03, 95% CI 1.05–3.90; p = 0.034), never had any general medical check-up (OR: 2.52, 95% CI 1.12–5.36; p = 0.016), 26–35 years of age (OR: 4.96, 95% CI 1.06–23.19; p = 0.042), 36–45 years of age (OR: 5.04, 95% CI 1.17–21.69; p = 0.030) and having no health insurance coverage (OR: 2.08, 95% CI 1.12–3.87; p = 0.021) were significantly associated with low awareness of diabetes medication.ConclusionHealthcare professionals should regularly evaluate blood glucose level, perform routine medical check-ups, prioritise patient satisfaction by providing appropriate care, involve patients in decision-making by determining their needs and then tailor an intervention to meet the need for, and improve their awareness of, DM medication

Production of urokinase by HT 1080 human kidney cell line

Studies were carried out in T-flasks and bioreactor to produce urokinase enzyme using HT 1080 human kidney cell line. While growing the cell line it has been observed that the lag phase is reduced considerably in the bioreactor as compared to T-flask culture. The HT 1080 cell adhesion rate and urokinase production were observed to be the function of serum concentration in the medium. The maximum urokinase activity of 3.1 x 10-4 unit ml-1 was achieved in the bioreactor at around 65 h of batch culture. Since HT 1080 is an anchorage dependent cell line, therefore, the hydrodynamic effects on the cell line were investigated

Knowledge, acceptance and willingness to pay for Dengue vaccine in Yogyakarta and Jakarta

Despite the fact that Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of diseases with the highest incidence rate in Indonesia, its prevention strategies remain ineffective. One of the most cost-effective strategies to prevent DHF is through vaccination. This study aimed to investigate correlations between the knowledge of DHF, the behavior of DHF prevention and the knowledge of vaccine with the acceptance of dengue vaccine and willingness-to-pay (WTP) of dengue vaccine in Yogyakarta and Jakarta, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting data from people visiting primary healthcare centers (PHCs) through a valid and reliable questionnaire. A purposive sampling was applied, which resulted in 838 respondents among PHCs in Yogyakarta (two selected districts: Bantul and Kulon Progo) and Jakarta (two selected districts: West Jakarta and Central Jakarta). The result showed that the percentage of respondents who had good knowledge of vaccine was estimated to be 67-77% in all districts. The percentage of respondent who had good acceptance of vaccine was estimated to be 68-81%. WTP of dengue vaccine among respondents was estimated to be IDR 10,000-50,000. The result showed that the knowledge of DHF was significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the acceptance of dengue vaccine in districts of West Jakarta, Bantul and Kulon Progo. In particular, the behavior of DHF prevention and the knowledge of dengue vaccine were significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the acceptance of dengue vaccine in all districts. Additionally, the knowledge and acceptance of vaccine were significantly correlated (p<0.05) with WTP in West Jakarta only. It can be concluded that correlation among variables in all districts are not the same. Hence, specific approach is required to be applied in each district

Growth of tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) juvenile from wild and hatchery at different type of feeds

This study aimed to observe the influence of two sources of juvenile tiger grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (Forsskål, 1775) from the sea and the hatchery by several types of food (pellets, tilapia anchovies). Growing Studies were carried out above 9600 juvenile tiger grouper from two sources namely differing from the sea of 4800 juvenile and 4800 juvenile hatchery from hatching. The design of treament were done by 2x3  with four replications. During the 30 day rearing period, each 5 days is taken  sampling total body length (cm) juvenile tiger grouper. The results showed that during the rearing period the value of marine juvenile grouper only high growth in juvenile ate anchovies and tilapia except on day 5 and 30, and could not adapt to the food from the pellet. While in hatchery juvenile tiger grouper had high growth to consume pellets only and could not adapt well to the food of tilapia and except anchovies on day 15th
