Penerapan Business Continuity Pada Bank Central Asia

Banks are financial institutions that have a major impact on the economic system and can affect people\u27s lives. Hence, regulators concerned in organizing business continuity of the banking industries. PT. Bank Central Asia, Tbk. (BCA) represents businesses in the banking sector that can not escape from the natural and man threats which can interfere the bank\u27s business. This case study presents a glimpse of how the business continuity run in BCA. Moreover, business continuity in banking can not be generalized because each bank has a different strategy. Some disasters have been handled properly for their business continuity plan in BCA are catastrophic floods that hit Jakarta in 2013 and fires at several branch offices of BCA. BCA awares of the business continuity planning as an endless process that need to be refined over time. This case study described the roadmap to the awareness of business continuity planning in BCA and how the business continuity planning methodology is run in BCA

Unraveling the secrets of rhizobacteria signaling in rhizosphere

Signaling among rhizobacteria and other soil microorganisms is an important mechanism to ensure a successful symbiotic relationship with their phytobionts. Quorum-sensing involves signaling molecules that provide essential networks for communication in the rhizosphere. These signaling molecules relay inter-and-intra-species information that coordinates and controls behavior in mixed communities, and the expression of these signaling molecules changes in response to the chemical cues. The diverse signaling molecules released in the rhizospheric zone affect the structural and physical heterogeneity of the soil and the quantity and identity of rhizobacteria. In general, rhizospheric signaling mechanisms can be categorized into three major types (i) plant to microorganisms signaling through low molecular weight molecules secreted by plants; (ii) interspecies and intraspecies microbial signaling, chiefly through quorum-sensing molecules; and (iii) microorganisms to plant signaling by microbially produced compounds. This review presents knowledge on the signaling molecules of the rhizosphere based on the above three mechanisms. The chemical nature of root exudates and their roles in attracting metabolically active rhizobacteria; the chemical properties of autoinducers secreted by rhizobacteria and their functions in intra- and inter-species interactions, including biofilm formation in the rhizosphere; and influence of quorum sensing on the root architecture, plant defense and biotic and abiotic stress responses, and gene expression are examined. The review provides a thorough understanding of rhizobacteria signaling and will help to develop novel strategies for agriculture, such as the novel use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria to enhance crops growth and quorum quenching technique to fight against plant pathogens

Floating Phase in 1D Transverse ANNNI Model

To study the ground state of ANNNI chain under transverse field as a function of frustration parameter $\kappa$ and field strength $\Gamma$, we present here two different perturbative analyses. In one, we consider the (known) ground state at $\kappa=0.5$ and $\Gamma=0$ as the unperturbed state and treat an increase of the field from 0 to $\Gamma$ coupled with an increase of $\kappa$ from 0.5 to $0.5+r\Gamma$ as perturbation. The first order perturbation correction to eigenvalue can be calculated exactly and we could conclude that there are only two phase transition lines emanating from the point $\kappa=0.5$, $\Gamma=0$. In the second perturbation scheme, we consider the number of domains of length 1 as the perturbation and obtain the zero-th order eigenfunction for the perturbed ground state. From the longitudinal spin-spin correlation, we conclude that floating phase exists for small values of transverse field over the entire region intermediate between the ferromagnetic phase and antiphase.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figure

Control of neoclassical tearing modes in large tokamaks

Some self-consistent effects pertaining to feedback control of neoclassical tearing modes in high temperature large tokamaks are investigated. For the ECRH scheme of local electron heating, it is shown that the self-consistent bootstrap currents created by the driven pressure gradients within the island are comparable to those due to the usually considered resistivity change mechanism. Similar self-consistent currents can also arise from pressure gradients created by density and energy deposition from neutral beams, thereby offering a new possibility for neoclassical mode control. The stabilizing current in such an application of neutral beams is estimated. It is further shown that such a feedback scheme can be made even more effective through appropriate modulation of the beam source to match the phase variation arising from the island rotation

Plasma rotation effects on Neoclassical tearing modes

The effect of an equilibrium sheared flow on the nonlinear evolution of a neoclassical tearing mode is investigated by estimating the influence it has on the inner and outer layer dynamics of the mode. Two complementary approaches are adopted. A generalized Rutherford model calculation is carried out to estimate the flow contributions to the polarization current term in the inner layer. For the outer layer,flow induced changes in the stability parameter Δ` are estimated with the help of a 3D initial value reduced MHD code (NEAR). For realistic parameters it is found that the outer layer modification is the dominant one and the scaling of Δ` with the flow shear parameter appears to agree with recent experimental observations

Coherent state triplets and their inner products

It is shown that if H is a Hilbert space for a representation of a group G, then there are triplets of spaces F_H, H, F^H, in which F^H is a space of coherent state or vector coherent state wave functions and F_H is its dual relative to a conveniently defined measure. It is shown also that there is a sequence of maps F_H -> H -> F^H which facilitates the construction of the corresponding inner products. After completion if necessary, the F_H, H, and F^H, become isomorphic Hilbert spaces. It is shown that the inner product for H is often easier to evaluate in F_H than F^H. Thus, we obtain integral expressions for the inner products of coherent state and vector coherent state representations. These expressions are equivalent to the algebraic expressions of K-matrix theory, but they are frequently more efficient to apply. The construction is illustrated by many examples.Comment: 33 pages, RevTex (Latex2.09) This paper is withdrawn because it contained errors that are being correcte

Analisis Prioritas Perbaikan Sistem Kerja Industri Rumah Tangga Dengan Program WISH

The purpose of this paper is to analyze work system improvements of home industries in Yogyakarta City,based on participatory ergonomics approach.

Translocation of heavy metals in medicinally important herbal plants growing on complex organometallic sludge of sugarcane molasses-based distillery waste

This study aimed to assess the heavy-metals accumulation patterns by some native plants such as Achyranthus aspera L., Amaranthus viridis, Basella alba L., Sesbania bispinosa, Pedalium murex L., and Momordica doica, which have been traditionally employed for medicinal and food purposes. The plants were grown on complex distillery waste containing a mixture of organometallic compounds. The results revealed bioaccumulation of Mn, Cd, Fe, Cr, Cu, As, Se, Mo, and Co in their roots, shoots, and leaves in levels higher than the surrounding sludge. A. aspera was noted as root accumulator for Mn (16.95 mg kg−1), Zn (30.12 mg kg−1), Fe (240.4 mg kg−1), Co (3.19 mg kg−1), while Se (4.07 mg kg−1), Mo (4.36 mg kg−1), was accumulated selectively in the shoot of the plant. Similarly, S. bispinosa, P. murex, and M. doica were found as root accumulators for Mn, Fe, and Ni. A. viridis accumulated Cd, Zn, and Cu in the shoot and leaves of the plant. The high bioconcentration factors (BCF) and translocation factors (TF) observed in these native plants (>1) suggested their tendency to hyperaccumulate heavy metals. The findings highlighted that these plants as a potential metal accumulator may pose health hazards and deteriorate the medicinal property if grown on such wastes
