Analisis Faktor Penyebab Cacat Produk Pelumas Kemasan Lithos Dengan Menggunakan Metode Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Pada PT. X

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang usaha pelumas. Perusahaan ini memproduksi dan mendistribusikan produk pelumas baik di dalam negeri maupun di luar negeri. Penelitian ini meneliti pada filling station kemasan lithos. Pada Filling station kemasan lithos terdiri dari 6 filling line (FL), yaitu FL-1, FL-2, FL-3, FL-4, FL-5, dan FL-6. Pada tiap filling line ditemukan beberapa material reject yang jumlahnya tidak sedikit setiap harinya, seperti pada material botol, kardus, capper, dan label yang menyebabkan proses produksi tidak maksimal dan produk yang dihasilkan tidak sesuai dengan spesifikasi yang ditentukan oleh perusahaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu melakukan analisis untuk menemukan faktor penyebab cacat produk pelumas kemasan lithos yang paling kritis selama proses produksi berlangsung dengan menggunakan failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) berdasarkan risk priority number (RPN). Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh hasil bahwa material reject yang paling banyak terdapat pada material capper yaitu sebesar 51,2% kemudian material label sebesar 21%, material botol sebesar 14,7% dan material kardus sebesar 13,1%. Berdasarkan perhitungan nilai resiko prioritas pada metode FMEA, didapatkan nilai RPN tertinggi sebesar 294 untuk material reject capper. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka usulan perbaikan yang diberikan adalah melakukan visual inspection dan melakukan pergantian vendor material capper untuk mendapatkan kualitas yang lebih baik

MFV Reductions of MSSM Parameter Space

The 100+ free parameters of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) make it computationally difficult to compare systematically with data, motivating the study of specific parameter reductions such as the cMSSM and pMSSM. Here we instead study the reductions of parameter space implied by using minimal flavour violation (MFV) to organise the R-parity conserving MSSM, with a view towards systematically building in constraints on flavour-violating physics. Within this framework the space of parameters is reduced by expanding soft supersymmetry-breaking terms in powers of the Cabibbo angle, leading to a 24-, 30- or 42-parameter framework (which we call MSSM-24, MSSM-30, and MSSM-42 respectively), depending on the order kept in the expansion. We provide a Bayesian global fit to data of the MSSM-30 parameter set to show that this is manageable with current tools. We compare the MFV reductions to the 19-parameter pMSSM choice and show that the pMSSM is not contained as a subset. The MSSM-30 analysis favours a relatively lighter TeV-scale pseudoscalar Higgs boson and $\tan \beta \sim 10$ with multi-TeV sparticles.Comment: 2nd version, minor comments and references added, accepted for publication in JHE

The Notion of the Soul in al-Kindi: Building the Epistemological Foundation of Early Islamic Psychology

The discourse surrounding the nature of the soul, a central theme in the field of psychology, has endured through centuries of scholarly inquiry. Within the rich tapestry of Islamic intellectual heritage, the systematic examination of this topic found its early champion in al-Kindi, a prominent Muslim philosopher. His contributions, as explored in this article, have left an indelible mark on the Islamic and Western traditions of soul study. Employing a library research methodology, this work draws from an array of data sources, including books, articles, pamphlets, and various other printed and non-printed materials. A documentary approach is employed to methodically gather data from these diverse sources, which is subsequently subjected to descriptive analytical scrutiny. This examination yields several key findings. Al-Kindi’s exploration of the soul is wide-ranging, encompassing its definition, its intricate relationship with the human body, its state when separated from the corporeal vessel, and its manifold powers. Of particular significance is the unique role played by the rational faculty, a power intrinsic to humanity that facilitates the generation of knowledge. Furthermore, al-Kindi’s classification of knowledge is both notable and comprehensive, contributing significantly to the development of the nascent field of Islamic psychology. In summation, al-Kindi’s profound insights have laid a robust foundation for the epistemological framework of early Islamic psychology, shaping its trajectory in enduring ways

ANALISIS HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP PANDANGAN TOKOH NU DAN LDII TENTANG PROGRAM KELUARGA BERENCANA (KB)

ABSTRAK Salah satu tujuan perkawinan adalah untuk memelihara berlakunya hubungan sosiologis antara pria dan wanita dalam rangka mengembangkan keturunan yang suci. Perkawinan suatu cara yang dipilih Allah sebagai jalan bagi hidup manusia untuk berkembang biak dalam kelestarian hidupnya, setelah masing-masing pasangan siap melakukan peranannya yang positif dalam mewujudkan tujuan perkawinan. Setiap keluarga mempunyai cita-cita menjadi keluarga yang sejahtera, ajaran Islam memberi perhatian besar terhadap penataan keluarga, perhatian besar dalam ajaran Islam terhadap penataan keluarga itu salah satunya berupa keluarga berencana atau biasa dikenal dengan sebutan KB. Keluarga Berencana merupakan program pemerintah yang bertujuan untuk membatasi lajunya pertumbuhan penduduk yang sangat pesat karena semakin tingginya jumlah penduduk menyebabkan sulitnya mencari kebutuhan ekonomi dalam keluarga. Bagaimana pandangan Tokoh NU dan LDII tentang program Keluarga Berencana dan Bagaimana analisis hukum Islam terhadap pandangan Tokoh NU dan LDII tentang program Keluarga Berencana ? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pendapat tokoh NU dan LDII tentang program KB sebagai upaya menekan angka kelahiran ditinjau dari aspek hukum Islam. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam jenis penelitian lapangan (field research) yaitu pengumpulan data yang dilakukan di lapangan, sifat penelitiannya adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Sumber data yang digunakan adalah data primer yaitu data dari lapangan dan sekunder adalah yang berasal dari buku tentang Keluarga Berencana. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode interview atau wawancara langsung oleh narasumber yaitu tokoh NU dan LDII Kota Bandar Lampung. Pengolahan data melalui pemeriksaan, penandaan, rekonstruksi dan sistematisasi data. Kemudian dianalisis dalam kerangka berfikir deduktif. Pandangan NU tentang program KB adalah membolehkan selama mengandung unsur kemashlahatan. Sementara menurut pandangan LDII membolehkan KB karena mengikuti program pemerintah selama tidak bertentangan dengan syariat. Melaksanakan program KB boleh dilakukan apabila bertujuan untuk menjarangkan jarak kehamilan supaya orang tua lebih konsentrasi untuk masa depan anaknya. Melaksanakan program KB atau tidak melaksanakan program KB semuanya baik selama didalamnya mengandung unsur kemaslahatan, apabila melaksanakan program KB tetapi yang didapatkan malah kemudharatan maka tidak diperbolehkan untuk ber-KB. Sesuai dengan kaidah fiqh yang berbunyi “mencegah kemudharatan lebih utama daripada mengambil kemashlahatan”. Apabila melakukan KB dengan alasan karena takut miskin maka tidak dibenarkan karena semua makhluk yang berada dimuka bumi telah Allah Swt. atur rezekinya masing-masing. Kesimpulannya bahwa tokoh NU dan LDII sama-sama membolehkan adanya program KB selama terdapat unsur kemaslahatan didalamnya

Fitting the Phenomenological MSSM

We perform a global Bayesian fit of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM) to current indirect collider and dark matter data. The pMSSM contains the most relevant 25 weak-scale MSSM parameters, which are simultaneously fit using `nested sampling' Monte Carlo techniques in more than 15 years of CPU time. We calculate the Bayesian evidence for the pMSSM and constrain its parameters and observables in the context of two widely different, but reasonable, priors to determine which inferences are robust. We make inferences about sparticle masses, the sign of the $\mu$ parameter, the amount of fine tuning, dark matter properties and the prospects for direct dark matter detection without assuming a restrictive high-scale supersymmetry breaking model. We find the inferred lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass as an example of an approximately prior independent observable. This analysis constitutes the first statistically convergent pMSSM global fit to all current data.Comment: Added references, paragraph on fine-tunin

Bayesian Selection of sign(mu) within mSUGRA in Global Fits Including WMAP5 Results

We study the properties of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (mSUGRA) by performing fits to updated indirect data, including the relic density of dark matter inferred from WMAP5. In order to find the extent to which mu 0, we compare the Bayesian evidence values for these models, which we obtain straightforwardly and with good precision from the recently developed multi-modal nested sampling ('MultiNest') technique. We find weak to moderate evidence for the mu > 0 branch of mSUGRA over mu < 0 and estimate the ratio of probabilities to be P(mu > 0)/P(mu < 0) = 6-61 depending on the prior measure and range used. There is thus positive (but not overwhelming) evidence that mu > 0 in mSUGRA. The MultiNest technique also delivers probability distributions of parameters and other relevant quantities such as superpartner masses. We explore the dependence of our results on the choice of the prior measure used. We also use the Bayesian evidence to quantify the consistency between the mSUGRA parameter inferences coming from the constraints that have the largest effects: (g-2)_mu, BR(b -> s gamma) and cold dark matter (DM) relic density Omega_{DM}h^2.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures, minor revision, accepted for publication in JHE

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Residents

Objectives: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders in Saudi Arabia are not often reported in the literature. This study aimed to identify musculoskeletal symptoms among otorhinolaryngology residents in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted in May 2018 and included residents registered in the Saudi Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Board Training programme, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to assess musculoskeletal symptoms in addition to demographic and occupational factors, including operating position and the average number of operating hours. Results: A total of 45 residents (response rate: 68.2%) completed the survey, including 33 males (73.3%) and 12 females (26.7%). Most residents (91.1%) reported at least one musculoskeletal symptom. The most commonly reported musculoskeletal over the previous 12 months were shoulder complaints (64.4%) followed by neck complaints (60%). In the short term (i.e. within seven days preceding the survey), neck complaints were more common than shoulder complaints (28.9% versus 20%). Lower back complaints were the most common cause of activity limitation (24.4%) followed by shoulder complaints (13.3%), while those with neck complaints reported it as a cause for visiting a physician (8.9%). Hip and thigh complaints were significantly more frequent among residents with operation times of eight hours or more compared to those who operating for less than eight hours (42.9% versus 5.9%; P = 0.021). Conclusion: A high incidence of shoulder, neck and lower back complaints was found in this study. Residency is an ideal time in an otorhinolaryngologist’s career to implement programmes in ergonomic best practices before bad habits are developed.Keywords: Otorhinolaryngology; Musculoskeletal Abnormalities; Symptoms and Signs; Workplace; Ergonomics; Saudi Arabia
