PENGARUH DISIPLIN KERJA DAN INSENTIF TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN PADA PT BPR DANA CENTRAL MULIA
The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of work discipline and incentive variables on employee performance at PT BPR Dana Central Mulia. The research method used is quantitative approach, data analysis using SPSS version 25 software program. Collection techniques the data was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 112 respondents. The results showed partially good as well as simultaneously variables of work discipline and incentives affect the performance of employees of PT BPR Dana Central Mulia. The implication of the results of this study is that to improve performance employees of PT BPR Dana Central Mulia can be done by increasing discipline and better incentives
Early versus delayed rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Objective: To determine how the timing of rehabilitation, early versus delayed, affects clinical results and tendon healing rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Design: Systematic literature review. Methods: Searches were done in PubMed, utilizing the terms arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, rehabilitation, early, and delayed. In PubMed the following filters and terms were used: published in the last 10 years, humans, randomized controlled trial, free full-text articles, and English. Results: The Keener et al study was included because it evaluated clinical results and tendon healing rates after arthroscopic repair using two distinct rehabilitation protocols, early versus delayed ROM. The Cuff et al study was included because it evaluated patient outcomes and rotator cuff healing after arthroscopic repair using two different physical therapy protocols: early passive motion versus delayed. The Kim et al. study was included because it compared clinical results of two rehabilitation protocols, early passive motion exercises versus delayed motion, in post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair patients for functional outcome and tendon healing. Lastly, all three studies included subjective and objective data. Conclusion: The implementation of early versus delayed rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair yielded no significant difference in clinical results and tendon healing
A variational constitutive model for slip-twinning interactions in hcp metals: application to single- and polycrystalline magnesium
We present a constitutive model for hcp metals which is based on variational constitutive updates of plastic slips and twin volume fractions and accounts for the related lattice reorientation mechanisms. The model is applied to single- and polycrystalline pure magnesium. We outline the finite-deformation plasticity model combining basal, pyramidal, and prismatic dislocation activity as well as a convexification-based approach for deformation twinning. A comparison with experimental data from single-crystal tension-compression experiments validates the model and serves for parameter identification. The extension to polycrystals via both Taylor-type modeling and finite element simulations shows a characteristic stress-strain response that agrees well with experimental observations for polycrystalline magnesium. The presented continuum model does not aim to represent the full details of individual twin-dislocation interactions; yet, it is sufficiently efficient to allow for finite element simulations while qualitatively capturing the underlying microstructural deformation mechanisms
FFTPL: An Analytic Placement Algorithm Using Fast Fourier Transform for Density Equalization
We propose a flat nonlinear placement algorithm FFTPL using fast Fourier
transform for density equalization. The placement instance is modeled as an
electrostatic system with the analogy of density cost to the potential energy.
A well-defined Poisson's equation is proposed for gradient and cost
computation. Our placer outperforms state-of-the-art placers with better
solution quality and efficiency
Three-dimensional Magnetic Restructuring in Two Homologous Solar Flares in the Seismically Active NOAA AR 11283
We carry out a comprehensive investigation comparing the three-dimensional
magnetic field restructuring, flare energy release, and the helioseismic
response, of two homologous flares, the 2011 September 6 X2.1 (FL1) and
September 7 X1.8 (FL2) flares in NOAA AR 11283. In our analysis, (1) a twisted
flux rope (FR) collapses onto the surface at a speed of 1.5 km/s after a
partial eruption in FL1. The FR then gradually grows to reach a higher altitude
and collapses again at 3 km/s after a fuller eruption in FL2. Also, FL2 shows a
larger decrease of the flux-weighted centroid separation of opposite magnetic
polarities and a greater change of the horizontal field on the surface. These
imply a more violent coronal implosion with corresponding more intense surface
signatures in FL2. (2) The FR is inclined northward, and together with the
ambient fields, it undergoes a southward turning after both events. This agrees
with the asymmetric decay of the penumbra observed in the peripheral regions.
(3) The amounts of free magnetic energy and nonthermal electron energy released
during FL1 are comparable to those of FL2 within the uncertainties of the
measurements. (4) No sunquake was detected in FL1; in contrast, FL2 produced
two seismic emission sources S1 and S2 both lying in the penumbral regions.
Interestingly, S1 and S2 are connected by magnetic loops, and the stronger
source S2 has weaker vertical magnetic field. We discuss these results in
relation to the implosion process in the low corona and the sunquake
generation.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, accepted to the Astrophysical Journa
The Differential Impacts of Federally Assisted Housing Programs on Nearby Property Values: A Philadelphia Case Study
Prior research has found negative impacts of public housing on neighborhood quality. Few studies have examined the impact of public and other assisted housing programs on real estate prices, particularly differential impact by program type. In this study, federally assisted housing units by program type are aggregated by 1/8- or 1/4-mile radii around individual property sales and regressed on sales prices from 1989 through 1991, controlling for area demographic, housing, and amenity variables.
Results show that public housing developments exert a modest negative impact on property values. Scattered-site public housing and units rented with Section 8 certificates and vouchers have slight negative impacts. Federal Housing Administration–assisted units, public housing homeownership program units, and Section 8 New Construction and Rehabilitation units have modest positive impacts. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit sites have a slight negative effect. Results suggest that homeownership programs and new construction/rehabilitation programs have a more positive impact on property values
