Perancangan Tata Letak Fasilitas Pada Mpc (Mail Post Center) PT Pos Indonesia, Semarang Menggunakan Activity Relationship Chart

Design of the facility layout is a very important issue because of the layout greatly affect the efficiency of the operations and affect the existing costs. It also presents in the services industry. One of them is PT. Pos Indonesia Semarang MPC division. The layout of the building can reduce the cost of moving the material (material handling). PT. Pos Indonesia has set for the layout of the facility that will be used by the Division of MPC Semarang. This design is made to adjust the demand for employees will need during the process of working on MPC Division. The purpose of this study is to optimize the design layout of the facility in accordance with document delivery services and packages of local, domestic, and foreign as the main service products to rearrange working process flow. The method used is the Relationship Activity Chart (ARC). To be able to design the facilities required input data that needed by working space and process, needs support space. In addition to the main data, the benchmark study is based also on the basic rules of building class PT.Pos Indonesia to prior Division. The results of this study are to their new design layout, PT POS Indonesia received various benefits, such as to have a more comfortable process chamber, the separation of product and services mail and packages, maximize use of space, and more efficience management area

Childbearing and Economic Work: The Health Balance of Women in Accra, Ghana

Objectives: This study aims to investigate (1) whether the health of working women with young children differs from that of working women without young children, and (2) which social factors mediate the relationship between economic and maternal role performance and health among mothers with young children. Methods: The analyses uses panel data from 697 women present in both waves of the Women's Health Study for Accra (WHSA-I and WHSA-II); a community based study of women aged 18 years and older in the Accra Metropolitan Area of Ghana conducted in 2003 and 2008-2009. Change in physical and mental health between the survey waves is compared between women with a biological child alive at WHSA-II and born since WHSA-I and women without a living biological child at WHSA-II born in the interval. To account for attrition between the two survey waves selection models were used with unconditional change score models being used as the outcome model. Results: We found in our sample of working women that those who had a child born between WHSA-I and WHSA-II who was still alive at WHSA-II did not experience a change in mental or physical health different from other women. Among working women with young children, educational status, relationship to the household head and household demography were associated with change in mental health at the 5 % level, whilst migration status and household demography was associated with change in physical health scores. Conclusion: The results suggest there are no health penalties of combining work and childbearing among women with young children in Accra, Ghana

Developing criteria for Cesarean Section using the RAND appropriateness method

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cesarean section rates are increasing worldwide, and a rapid increase has been observed in Iran. Disagreement exists between clinicians about when to use cesarean section. We aimed to identify the appropriateness criteria for the use of cesarean section in Iran.</p> <p>Method</p> <p>A consensus development study using a modified version of the RAND Appropriateness Method (RAM). We generated scenarios from valid clinical guidelines and expert opinions. A panel of experts participated in consensus development: first round via mail (12 members), second round face-to-face (9 members). We followed the RAM recommendations for the development of the scenario lists, rating scales, and statistical analyses.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>294 scenarios relevant to cesarean section were identified. 191 scenarios were considered appropriate, of which 125 scenarios were agreed upon. The panel found cesarean inappropriate for 21% of scenarios, and 'equivocal' for 14% of scenarios.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>RAM is useful for identifying stakeholder views in settings with limited resources. The participants' views on appropriateness of certain indications differed with available evidence. A large number of scenarios without agreement may partly explain why it has been difficult to curb the growth in cesarean section rate.</p

Current trend in control of artificial intelligence for health robotic manipulator

The increasing utilization of artificial intelligence and robots in various services in healthcare makes robots as preferred intelligent agent model. Robotic evolution produces the optimal robotic innovation in the robotic system or its subsystems, morphology, kinematics, and control. An intelligent algorithm is programmed into the control of the robotic manipulator. This paper aims to identify the control of artificial intelligence and identify comparisons of artificial intelligence algorithms control for healthcare robotic manipulators. This study uses a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review (PRISMA). The potential for further articles is explored related to the theme of the research carried out. The conclusion obtained many studies have been carried out to optimize the work and tasks of the robotic arm manipulator, specifically developing various types of manipulator control (algorithms) combined with neural networks to get the right and appropriate algorithm

Phosphoric acid doped composite proton exchange membrane for hydrogen production in medium-temperature copper chloride electrolysis

A copper chloride (CuCl) electrolyzer that constitutes of composite proton exchange membrane (PEM) that functions at medium-temperature (>100 °C) is beneficial for rapid electrochemical kinetics, and better in handling fuel pollutants. A synthesized polybenzimidazole (PBI) composite membrane from the addition of ZrO2 followed with phosphoric acid (PA) is suggested to overcome the main issues in CuCl electrolysis, including the copper diffusion and proton conductivity. PBI/ZrP properties improved significantly with enhanced proton conductivity (3 fold of pristine PBI, 50% of Nafion 117), superior thermal stability (>600 °C), good mechanical strength (85.17 MPa), reasonable Cu permeability (7.9 × 10−7) and high ionic exchange capacity (3.2 × 10−3 mol g−1). Hydrogen produced at 0.5 A cm−2 (115 °C) for PBI/ZrP and Nafion 117 was 3.27 cm3 min−1 and 1.85 cm3 min−1, respectively. The CuCl electrolyzer efficiency was ranging from 91 to 97%, thus proven that the hybrid PBI/ZrP membrane can be a promising and cheaper alternative to Nafion membrane
