Relative Odds of Neck Pain to Helmet Use Among Motorcyclists: a Case-Control Study

Background: Neck pain is a widespread problem among motorcyclists, which is often neglected. There is limited research on the motorcycle's ergonomics, particularly in the context of the interaction between the riders and motorcycle. Motorcycle helmets have proven to increase the weight on the neck, thus causing more burdens which can lead to neck pain. Methodology: Case-Control study design was opted to measure the relative odds of neck pain in relation to the helmet use as an exposure. A total of 260 (mean age of 22.58 ± S.D. 1.95 years) undergraduate students were selected using purposive sampling. The case to control ratio was 1:4 (54 Cases and 206 Controls) where cases were defined as the motorcyclists having neck pain with a riding experience of more than one year. The neck pain and disability scale were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used to calculate the significant relationship and odds of neck pain amongst motorcyclists with and without helmet use. Results: The study results showed that out of 260 motorcyclists, 190 (73.1%) were helmet users, and 54 (20.8%) had neck pain, 70 (27.9%) helmet users had a neck pain prevalence of 11 (4.2%). The relative odd to have neck pain was 2.13 times more amongst the motorcyclists using the helmet as compared to that of non-helmet users. The logistic regression results showed significant results (P < 0.05) with regards to the BMI, helmet weight and duration of helmet use but did not show a significant relation with average motorcycle use per day unless it exceeded 70 kilometres. Conclusion: Use of helmet can be a potential cause of neck pain amongst motorcyclist users but the odds to have neck pain enhance with the increase in motorcycle use per day. The protective benefits are multi-fold for helmet use which outreaches the negative impact, including neck pain amongst motorcyclists

Konsep Integrasi antara Islam dan Ilmu Telaah Pemikiran Kuntowijoyo

Kuntowijoyo adalah seorang cendekiawan muslim yang mempunyai gagasan tentang integrasi anatara Islam dan Ilmu. Terdapat permasalahan antara Islam dan Ilmu yang tidak bisa berjalan beiringan karna pemisah yang disebut dengan sekularisme, budaya sekularisme ini lah yang mencoba memisahkan antara Islam dan Ilmu sehingga ilmu hanya berjalan sendiri tanpa adanya agama atau Islam, disinilah letak permasalahan yang di hadapi oleh umat muslim sehingga Kuntowijoyo mencoba menyelesaikan permasalahaan ini dengan gagasan pengilmuan Islamnya. Gagasan Kuntowijoyo perihal Islamisasi ilmu Pengetahuan memiliki keterkaitan yang kuat dengan ijtihad dari para intelektual muslim sebelumnya yang berangkat dari keprihatinannya atas sifat reaktif dari gagasan “Islamisasi Pengetahuan”. Kuntowijoyo menawarkan suatu penyikapan yang baru dalam melihat hubungan antara agama (Islam) dan ilmu yaitu dengan Pengilmuan Islam. Bagaimana konsep Pengilmuan Islam ini mengcounter budaya sekularisme yang masuk pada Ilmu pengetahuan?. Konsep integrasi antara Islam dan Ilmu yang di maksud Kuntowijoyo adalah gerakan intelektual Islam yang bergerak dari teks menuju konteks, pengilmuan Islam sebagai proses keilmuan yang bergerak dari teks Al-Qur’an menuju konteks sosial dan ekologis manusia. Pengilmuan Islam mengakui ilmu pengetahuan yang bersifat objektif , konsep pengilmuan Islam ini mempunyai metodologi yaitu dengan integralisasi dan Objektifikasi. konsep ini mempunyai misi atau tujuan yaitu mengakrabkan antara Islam dan ilmu selain agar tidak terkontaminasi oleh budaya sekularisme

Decision Support System for Single Tuition Scholarship Awardees in Higher Education Using Mamdani Fuzzy Inference

Universitas Madura implements the Single Tuition Fee (UKT) scholarship program in the Informatics department. The current UKT scholarship selection system uses a traditional model that is still not effective, causing obstacles such as inflexibility in registration time. The print-out documents are vulnerable to damage or loss and difficulty searching when it required. The criteria in the current system consisted of a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3, a letter of family condition, and also student status in semesters 3 to 7. The three criteria are not enough to determine a scholarship candidate. The recruitment process involves only the Head of the Study Program (Kaprodi). The Informatics study program still has many candidates applying for scholarships reaching around 280%. This research proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) using Fuzzy Mamdani with six criteria, including GPA, Achievement, Parents' Income, Parents' Dependents, Semester, and History of not receiving scholarships with the aim of overcoming these problems. The results show that the performance of the proposed SPK is very good, it is shown by the MAPE value of less than 10% and more efficient time than the current system. This system has also been in accordance with the required functions through the black test

PENGELOLAAN KELAS DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BELAJAR SISWA

Abstract: Classroom management can be divided into two kinds of physical management and student management. Harmonious relationships of student and teacher have an effect on classroom management. Teacher who are apathetic to student make the students away. Many students reject the presence of teachers. Envy is ingrained in students that cause unacceptable learning materials by students. The tendencies of students’ negative attitudes are more dominant. This hypocritical attitude created a gap between teachers and students. As with the teachers who always pay attention to students is always open, always responsive to student complaints, always listen to students' learning difficulties, always willing to listen to suggestions and criticism from students are the teachers who is liked by student. Students will miss his presence and advice was given. The classroom management strategies to improve students' learning ability is creating an atmosphere or condition of the optimal class, trying to stop the deviant behavior of students, creating a classroom discipline, creating harmony between teachers and students. Therefore, the task manager as a classroom teacher to always strive for dynamic conditioning class that supports the process of educational interaction achieving learning objectives
