STRATEGI KOMPUTASI AWAN: ROADMAP FOR CLOUD COMPUTING ADAPTION (ROCCA) - IDENTIFIKASI RESIKO PADA INSTANSI X

Cloud computing (komputasi awan) merupakan sebuah pengembangan infrastruktur Teknologi Informasi yang dapat memberikan solusi atas keterbatasan kemampuan dari beberapa lembaga pemerintah. Tujuan dilakukan penelitan yaitu untuk mengetahui kemudahan, dan memetakan dalam implementasi peralihan data komputasi awan. Penggabunagn ROCCA – identifikasi resiko pada komputasi jaringan di instansi X dapat membuat tahapan migrasi menjadi terstruktur. Selain metoda ROCCA yang generik, sehingga dapat “dilakukan penyesuaian” modelnya dengan menyisipkan identifikasi resiko. Sebagai jaminan agar data sivitas dapat menggunakan data sebagai bagian dari pekerjaan korporat.Metoda yang digunakan dengan menggabungkan ROCCA Adoption Framework dan identifikasi resiko. Masing-masing tahapan pada ROCCA telah disisipkan identifikasi resiko yang dapat memantau dan melakukan evaluasi pada tiap tahapannya. Hasil dari penelitian ini berupa tahapan dari ROCCA dengan indentifikasi resiko agar pelaksanaan migrasi data ke komputasi awan terencana dengan baik dan berjalan dengan baik. Diperlukan evaluasi pada tiap tahapan terutama pada tahapan migrasi, selain itu singkronisasi dan layanan data untuk sivitas, perlu dievaluasi sesuai dengan identifikasi yang telah dilakukan. Komputasi awan pada intansi X lebih mendekati model implementasi Private Cloud as a service (PaaS) dan layanan Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

KEPUASAN PELANGGAN TERHADAP PELAYANAN JASA PENGUJIAN DI INSTANSI X

Agency X has implemented ISO 9001 with periodic evaluation. The research objective was to determine the quality of testing services. Measurement data for 2015, 2016, and 2017. The methodology used is quantitative descriptive narrative, data collection by a survey, observation, and interviews. Based on internal calculations of agency X, Permenpan number 14 of 2017, and 5 servqual dimensions. Results calculation of customer satisfaction in 2015, 2016, and 2017 have achieved the quality target. Customer dissatisfaction gap by 25% annually, one of the reasons is the duration of testing time that exceeds the provisions, due to additional requests from customers

Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis in Egyptian Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients and Its Relation to Disease Activity

Aim. To detect the frequency of subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients without clinically evident atherosclerosis and to correlate its presence with the disease activity. Patients and Methods. Our study includes 112 RA patients (group 1) and 40 healthy controls (group 11). All patients and controls were subjected to full history taking, clinical examination, and laboratory investigations. Carotid intima media wall thickness (IMT) and carotid plaques were measured in both groups by B-mode ultrasonography; also color duplex Doppler ultrasound of the brachial artery was done to detect endothelial function. Results. There is atherosclerosis in 31.3% of asymptomatic RA patients compared with only 5% in controls P=0.003**. A significant difference was detected in patients with and without atherosclerosis regarding duration of the disease P=0.0001*** and patient’s age P=0.01*. There is highly statistical significant correlation between atherosclerosis and disease activity index. Conclusion. The frequency of subclinical atherosclerosis was high in long-term active RA patients

Human brain structural change related to acute single exposure to sarin

Objective This study aimed to identify persistent morphological changes subsequent to an acute single-time exposure to sarin, a highly poisonous organophosphate, and the neurobiological basis of long-lasting somatic and cognitive symptoms in victims exposed to sarin.Methods Thirty-eight victims of the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack, all of whom had been treated in an emergency department for sarin intoxication, and 76 matched healthy control subjects underwent T1-weighted and diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) in 2000 to 2001. Serum cholinesterase (ChE) levels measured immediately and longitudinally after the exposure and the current severity of chronic reports in the victims were also evaluated.Results The voxel-based morphometry exhibited smaller than normal regional brain volumes in the insular cortex and neighboring white matter, as well as in the hippocampus in the victims. The reduced regional white matter volume correlated with decreased serum cholinesterase levels and with the severity of chronic somatic complaints related to interoceptive awareness. Voxel-based analysis of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging further demonstrated an extensively lower than normal fractional anisotropy in the victims. All these findings were statistically significant (corrected p &lt; 0.05).Interpretation Sarin intoxication might be associated with structural changes in specific regions of the human brain, including those surrounding the insular cortex, which might be related to elevated subjective awareness of internal bodily status in exposed individuals.<br /
