USE AND UTILIZATION OF VILLAGE INFORMATION SYSTEM TO MAXIMIZE POPULATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE DATABASES IN PLOSOBUDEN VILLAGE LAMONGAN REGENCY

Weak archiving systems, correspondence related to services to village communities and the lack of village government regarding population and population data, so this service has the goal of developing Plosobuden Village a village website to facilitate archiving and population administration. The method carried out in the service process is carried out in several stages, namely location surveys, maturation of concepts in the internal service team, asking for input and criticism of village web creations to village officials, finalizing village web concepts and contents internally for the service team, training and assistance in village web operations. to village officials and evaluation. The results of the service show that village officials are very enthusiastic about the village web to facilitate archiving in terms of correspondence and population data archiving. The results of the evaluation are the lack of basic population input data so that the use of the village web cannot be maximized

DETEKSI PELAT NOMOR KENDARAAN DI INDONESIA MENGGUNAKAN METODE OCR DAN COLOUR FEATURE

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pelat nomor kendaraan pada kumpulan data terpisah guna evaluasi laporan dan memberikan sanksi yang sesuai. Sistem deteksi pelat kendaraan dikembangkan dengan menggunakan citra pelat nomor dan model warna RGB. Algoritma yang digunakan meminimalkan penggunaan perulangan untuk menghindari keterlambatan dalam proses identifikasi. Tahapan utama meliputi deteksi pelat nomor, deteksi warna pelat, deteksi karakter menggunakan OCR (Optical Character Recognition), dan hasilnya diekspor ke format Excel. Proses analisis data digital yang dikenal sebagai pengenalan citra digunakan dengan berbagai jenis data yang tersedia. Informasi nomor kendaraan, jenis kendaraan, dan asal kendaraan tersedia dalam format Microsoft Excel. Terdapat potensi peningkatan akurasi sistem berdasarkan nilai Mean Squared Error yang diperoleh, dengan MSE saat ini sebesar 0.15. Meskipun tidak ada standar baku untuk menentukan kebaikan atau keburukan nilai MSE, dalam konteks aplikasi deteksi pelat nomor, semakin mendekati nol nilai MSE, semakin baik performasi sistem deteksi tersebut. Pemeliharaan dan pengenalan pelat kendaraan menjadi faktor penting dalam menjaga umur panjang dan keamanan kendaraan, terutama mengingat meningkatnya ancaman yang ada saat ini. Dengan penggunaan sistem deteksi pelat kendaraan yang lebih luas, sistem ini dapat membantu dalam analisis pelat nomor pada data terpisah, evaluasi laporan, serta memberikan sanksi yang sesuai. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan sistem deteksi motor yang efisien dan dapat meningkatkan akurasi melalui analisis citra dan pengenalan karakter pada pelat nomor kendaraan

Scaling up proven public health interventions through a locally owned and sustained leadership development programme in rural Upper Egypt

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>In 2002, the Egypt Ministry of Health and Population faced the challenge of improving access to and quality of services in rural Upper Egypt in the face of low morale among health workers and managers.</p> <p>From 1992 to 2000, the Ministry, with donor support, had succeeded in reducing the nationwide maternal mortality rate by 52%. Nevertheless, a gap remained between urban and rural areas.</p> <p>Case description</p> <p>In 2002, the Ministry, with funding from the United States Agency for International Development and assistance from Management Sciences for Health, introduced a Leadership Development Programme (LDP) in Aswan Governorate. The programme aimed to improve health services in three districts by increasing managers' ability to create high performing teams and lead them to achieve results.</p> <p>The programme introduced leadership and management practices and a methodology for identifying and addressing service delivery challenges. Ten teams of health workers participated.</p> <p>Discussion and evaluation</p> <p>In 2003, after participation in the LDP, the districts of Aswan, Daraw and Kom Ombo increased the number of new family planning visits by 36%, 68% and 20%, respectively. The number of prenatal and postpartum visits also rose.</p> <p>After the United States funding ended, local doctors and nurses scaled up the programme to 184 health care facilities (training more than 1000 health workers). From 2005 to 2007, the Leadership Development Programme participants in Aswan Governorate focused on reducing the maternal mortality rate as their annual goal. They reduced it from 85.0 per 100,000 live births to 35.5 per 100,000. The reduction in maternal mortality rate was much greater than in similar governorates in Egypt. Managers and teams across Aswan demonstrated their ability to scale up effective public health interventions though their increased commitment and ownership of service challenges.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>When teams learn and apply empowering leadership and management practices, they can transform the way they work together and develop their own solutions to complex public health challenges. Committed health teams can use local resources to scale up effective public health interventions.</p

An Analysis of Location of Needle Entry Point and Palpated PSIS in S1 Nerve Root Block

BACKGROUND: The first sacral nerve root block (S1NRB) is a common procedure in pain clinic for patients complaining of low back pain with radiating pain. It can be performed in the office based setting without C-arm. The previously suggested method of locating the needle entry point begins with identifying the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). Then a line is drawn between two points, one of which is 1.5 cm medial to the PSIS, and the other of which is 1.5 cm lateral and cephalad to the ipsilateral cornu. After that, one point on the line, which is 1.5 cm cephalad to the level of the PSIS, is considered as the needle entry point. The purpose of this study was to analyze the location of needle entry point and palpated PSIS in S1NRB. METHODS: Fifty patients undergoing C-arm guided S1NRB in the prone position were examined. The surface anatomical relationships between the palpated PSIS and the needle entry point were assessed. RESULTS: The analysis revealed that the transverse and vertical distance between the needle entry point and PSIS were 28.7 ± 8.8 mm medially and 3.5 ± 14.0 mm caudally, respectively. The transverse distance was 27.8 ± 8.3 mm medially for male and 29.5 ± 9.3 mm medially for female. The vertical distance was 1.0 ± 14.1 mm cranially for male and 8.1 ± 12.7 mm caudally for female. CONCLUSIONS: The needle entry point in S1NRB is located on the same line or in the caudal direction from the PSIS in a considerable number of cases. Therefore previous recommended methods cannot be applied to many cases.ope

Creating, moving and merging Dirac points with a Fermi gas in a tunable honeycomb lattice

Dirac points lie at the heart of many fascinating phenomena in condensed matter physics, from massless electrons in graphene to the emergence of conducting edge states in topological insulators [1, 2]. At a Dirac point, two energy bands intersect linearly and the particles behave as relativistic Dirac fermions. In solids, the rigid structure of the material sets the mass and velocity of the particles, as well as their interactions. A different, highly flexible approach is to create model systems using fermionic atoms trapped in the periodic potential of interfering laser beams, a method which so far has only been applied to explore simple lattice structures [3, 4]. Here we report on the creation of Dirac points with adjustable properties in a tunable honeycomb optical lattice. Using momentum-resolved interband transitions, we observe a minimum band gap inside the Brillouin zone at the position of the Dirac points. We exploit the unique tunability of our lattice potential to adjust the effective mass of the Dirac fermions by breaking inversion symmetry. Moreover, changing the lattice anisotropy allows us to move the position of the Dirac points inside the Brillouin zone. When increasing the anisotropy beyond a critical limit, the two Dirac points merge and annihilate each other - a situation which has recently attracted considerable theoretical interest [5-9], but seems extremely challenging to observe in solids [10]. We map out this topological transition in lattice parameter space and find excellent agreement with ab initio calculations. Our results not only pave the way to model materials where the topology of the band structure plays a crucial role, but also provide an avenue to explore many-body phases resulting from the interplay of complex lattice geometries with interactions [11, 12]
