    The study was conducted on CV MIK engaged in plastic injection. Payroll system by the company is now less effective, so the process of payroll calculation contains many errors. Activity still contain many false payroll is calculated, both in calculating the bonuses given to employees for overtime performed well over the pieces that are charged to the employee, and the reduction of employee loans are charged to the employee\u27s salary. In addition the company still does not have adequate documentation for the provision of information required. The purpose of this research is to design a computerized payroll system that will be expected to help solve problems facing the company. Given these problems, needed repairs and design a better system. Therefore conducted an analysis of company procedures and conducted an evaluation of the analysis has been performed. Evaluation procedures and flowcharts in the study were divided into five events, namely acceptance and placement of employees, time recording, payroll calculation, payroll, and recordkeeping and reporting. With the designed payroll computer-based information systems, errors of calculation of employee salaries that often occur in a manual system can be reduced or even absent and can generate the required information quickly and accurately, and can result in reports that can be useful for decision making for the management company

    Nonlinear multiplicative dendritic integration in neuron and network models

    Get PDF
    Neurons receive inputs from thousands of synapses distributed across dendritic trees of complex morphology. It is known that dendritic integration of excitatory and inhibitory synapses can be highly non-linear in reality and can heavily depend on the exact location and spatial arrangement of inhibitory and excitatory synapses on the dendrite. Despite this known fact, most neuron models used in artificial neural networks today still only describe the voltage potential of a single somatic compartment and assume a simple linear summation of all individual synaptic inputs. We here suggest a new biophysical motivated derivation of a single compartment model that integrates the non-linear effects of shunting inhibition, where an inhibitory input on the route of an excitatory input to the soma cancels or “shunts” the excitatory potential. In particular, our integration of non-linear dendritic processing into the neuron model follows a simple multiplicative rule, suggested recently by experiments, and allows for strict mathematical treatment of network effects. Using our new formulation, we further devised a spiking network model where inhibitory neurons act as global shunting gates, and show that the network exhibits persistent activity in a low firing regime

    Teaching the History of Women in China and Japan: Challenges and Sources

    Studying the history of Chinese and Japanese women provides American students with a thematic approach to Asian Studies. This paper reflects on the challenges I face in teaching women’s histories in China and Japan. It also discusses the pedagogy and sources I use in teaching the course. The paper argues that teaching the history of women in China and Japan will allow us to move beyond the conventionally regional or national focused approach to Asian Studies and enable us to re-imagine old narratives and to introduce students to new methods of understanding both the universality and diversity within Asian history

    Perceptions of Political Knowledge, Political Participation, and Political Efficacy Among Western Washington University Students

    Get PDF
    The way people view political knowledge, political participation, and political efficacy impacts their interactions with politics. But how exactly do people define political knowledge and participation? Political science scholars are in the midst of discussions on how to broaden these definitions to include traditional forms of both (knowledge of political facts and participation in activities such as voting, campaigning, and protesting) as well as non-traditional forms (experiential knowledge and community activities). This paper examines the results of a survey of 196 university students and 5 student interviews to determine if these broader definitions are held by the general public. Additional information on how students view their own levels of political knowledge, participation, and efficacy was also collected in the study. I find that most students think of the narrow definitions of political knowledge and participation that include only traditional forms of both. There is a clear distinction made in responses between what students believe is community involvement and what is political engagement. I further demonstrate how these narrow definitions among students may negatively affect how they view their own levels of political knowledge, efficacy, and participation. Taken together, these findings suggest that if the broader definitions that exist in the political science literature were more effectively communicated and taught to younger generations, students might exhibit higher levels of political engagement. This might also narrow the gender gap in political knowledge as this study finds that women tend to be more involved in their community while men tend to rate themselves as possessing more political knowledge

    Hexahomoserine as a Competitive Inhibitor for the Incorporation of Lysine into Protein Molecules

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this report is to assemble the known information on hexahomoserine from its beginning as the unknown anemia-causing factor in deaminated casein until the present time. In the literature many names for hexahomoserine are used. Other names found are CX-amino-�-hydroxycaproic acid, 2-amino-6-hydroxycaproic acid, CX-amino-f-hydroxyhexanoic acid, �-hydroxynorleucine and 6-hydroxynorleucine. The materials used in this study are chiefly (1) scientific journal articles and (2) abstracts of articles in foreign languages. An attempt has been made to include all significant references to hexahomoserine. The chemical structure of hexahomoserine was proven when it was synthesized from 6-hydroxyvaleraldehyde. Later, by chromatographic methods hexahomoserine was proven to be the same compound as the anemia-causing factor in deaminated casein. The active form is the L-isomer. It has been shown that hexahomoserine is a lysine antagonist in many organisms, preventing growth and causing anemia. Its probable mode of action is to act as a competitive inhibitor to lysine, preventing lysine's normal incorporation into protein molecules. Lysine administered simultaneously will promote growth without affecting the lowered red cell count caused by hexahomoserine, In many cases after hexahomoserine was removed from the diet and replaced with lysine, the animals returned to normal after a period of time. An interesting property of hexahomoserine is that it exhibits chemotherapeutic properties on cancer in rats. It also demonstrates properties which might make it a successful agent for treating polycythemia vera.Natural Scienc
