Analysis and Design of Production Monitoring Information Systems on Label Shoe Manufacturing Companies

Digital technology can be used to solve problems that arise from business activity. One company that has not optimally used digital technology is PT Tiga Tapak Mutiara, which is engaged in manufacturing shoe labels. In its business process, each related division collects data, and the data collection results will be reported to the manager to unify work activities. The production data collection process has not been carried out optimally by the relevant divisions because the conventional recording is still carried out using a spreadsheet application which can slow down the reporting process to be monitored by the leadership. As a result, a slow process can impact not completing production on time. In addition to the problem of data collection, another problem is that the completion of orders received earlier is not compared to the orders received last. The aim and contribution of this research are to integrate business processes to overcome these problems in data collection, monitoring, and order completion activities. It is necessary to design a web-based monitoring information system with the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method and the application of the First In, First Out (FIFO) method so that the ordering process can run according to the time of order. The result of this research is a web-based information system that is useful for integrating business processes to monitor and optimize production activities to be completed on time. This web-based information system has also passed the functionality test using black box testing and is following the company's needs

Rancang Bangun Fitur Chatbot Customer Service Menggunakan Dialogflow

The quality of providing customer service channels is very influential on customer satisfaction. To keep customer satisfaction, it is necessary to have a good interaction from customer service to the customer. In this case, PT Dian Prima Jayaraya is one of the companies that utilize Solo's application product as a medium for customer service. The development of the Solo application makes the application's features more complex and makes it difficult for users to do activities in the application. Customer service has a role in accommodating questions and answering difficulties experienced by users. The number of incoming questions is quite large, so that the existing customer service team cannot answer. Ignored or unanswered questions can lower the level of customer satisfaction. Therefore, we need a system that can help optimize customer service in a Chatbot to minimize unanswered customer questions. A chatbot is a service powered by rules and artificialintelligence, which the user interacts with through a chat interface. The Chatbot will be built on an iOS prototype application and use the NLP (Natural Language Processing) platform, namely Dialogflow. This platform will process and scan every question given by the customer

ANALISIS PENGARUH PEMBANGUNAN WADUK KUWIL-KAWANGKOAN TERHADAP DEBIT BANJIR DI HILIR SUNGAI TONDANO

Salah satu cara untuk mencegah terjadinya banjir adalah dengan membuat rekayasa bangunan air seperti waduk, waduk adalah suatu bangunan air yang berfungsi untuk menampung air sungai yang memilki kelimpahan air di musim penghujan dan menampung air pada musim kemarau, dengan demikian dengan adanya waduk maka pada musim hujan dapat menampung kelebihan air sehingga tidak menyebabkan banjir, melainkan dapat ditampung untuk digunakan pada musim kemarau.Waduk Kuwil Kawangkoan dibangun untuk keperluan pencegahan banjir dan sebagai sumber pembangkit listrik tenaga air. Pada penelitian ini akan dianalisis pengaruh waduk ini terhadap debit banjir di hilir sungai Tondano, dengan kala ulang 25, 50 dan 100 tahun, menggunakan bantuan program HEC-HMS.Data yang diperlukan adalah data curah hujan rerata harian maksimum dari beberapa stasiun, Peta DAS Tondano, Tata Guna Lahan DAS Tondano, kurva hubungan antara elevasi dan luas bendungan, dan data debit AWLR di daerah tinjauan, sedangkan untuk pengolahan hidrolika dibutuhkan data penampang sungai.Hasil analisis menunjukkan debit yang terjadi sebelum adanya bendung untuk kala ulang 25, 50 dan 100 tahun adalah sebesar, 481,3 m3/det, 534,7 m3/det dan 588,2 m3/det, setelah adanya waduk untuk kala ulang 25, 50 dan 100 tahun dengan elevasi air dalam waduk 87,5 m atau dalam keadaan low water level (LWL) debit banjir outflow sebesar 230,8 m3/det, 283,3 m3/det dan 337,3 m3/det sehingga banjir yang tereduksi dari sebelum adanya waduk dengan kala ulang 25,50 dan 100 tahun sebesar 250,5m3/det, 251,4 m3/det dan 250,9 m3/det.Keadaan tinggi air dalam waduk pada elevasi 100 m (Normal Water Level) debit outflow untuk kala ulang 25, 50 dan 100 tahun masing-masing sebesar 439,5 m3/det, 490 m3/det dan 540 m3/det sehingga debit banjir yang tereduksi 41,8 m3/det, 44,7 m3/det dan 48,2 m3/det.

Interactive dance choreography assistance

Creative support for the performing arts is prevalent in many fields, however, for the art of dance, automated tools supporting creativity have been scarce. In this research, we describe ongoing research into (semi)automatic automated creative choreography support. Based on state-of-the-art and a survey among 54 choreographers we establish functionalities and requirements for a choreography assistance tool, including the semantic levels at which it should operate and communicate with the end-users. We describe a user study with a prototype tool which presents choreography alternatives using various simple strategies in three dance styles. The results show that the needs for such a tool vary based on the dance discipline. In a second user study, we investigate various methods of presenting choreography variations. Here, we evaluate four presentation methods: textual descriptions, 2D animations, 3D animations and auditory instructions in two different dance styles. The outcome of the expert survey shows that the tool is effective in communicating the variations to the experts and that they express a preference for 3D animations. Based on these results, we propose a design for an interactive dance choreography assistant tool

Gradient-based estimation of Manning's friction coefficient from noisy data

We study the numerical recovery of Manning's roughness coefficient for the diffusive wave approximation of the shallow water equation. We describe a conjugate gradient method for the numerical inversion. Numerical results for one-dimensional model are presented to illustrate the feasibility of the approach. Also we provide a proof of the differentiability of the weak form with respect to the coefficient as well as the continuity and boundedness of the linearized operator under reasonable assumptions using the maximal parabolic regularity theory.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure

Sazonalidade, taxa de paridade e índices de transmissão de Mansonella ozzardi (Manson) (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) por Cerqueirellum argentiscutum (Shelley & Luna Dias) (Diptera: Simuliidae) em uma comunidade do baixo rio Solimões, Amazonas, Brasil

Mansonella ozzardi is transmitted by two dipterian families, Ceratopogonidae (midges) and Simuliidae (black flies). In Brazil, black flies are vectors for this filariasis until now. In this paper, we determined the seasonality, parity capacity and parasitic infection rate of Cerqueirellum argentiscutum. The work was carried out in the Porto Japão community, Lower Solimões River, Amazonas, Brazil. Results show that the black flies were more abundant during the rainy season (from December to May). The number of parous flies was higher in every sampling during the course of year. Monthly Biting Rate (MBR1 123742.00, MBR2 86701.50) was high, although Parasitic Infection Rate (PIR1 0.06, PIR2 0.08) and Annual Transmission Potential (ATP 7.25) were low in numbers.Mansonella ozzardi é transmitida por dois grupos distintos de insetos, Ceratopogonidae e Simuliidae. No Brasil, os simulídeos são os vetores dessa filariose. Neste trabalho, o objetivo foi determinar a sazonalidade, a paridade e a taxa de infecção parasitária de Cerqueirellum argentiscutum. O experimento foi realizado na comunidade Porto do Japão, Baixo rio Solimões, Amazonas, Brasil. Os simulídeos foram mais abundantes no período de chuva (dezembro a maio). Em todos os meses de coletas o número de paríparas foi maior. A taxa mensal de picada (TMP1 123742.00, TMP2 86701.50) foi elevada, já a taxa de infecção parasitária (TIP1 0.06, TIP2 0.08) e o potencial de transmissão anual (PTA 7.25) foram considerados baixos

TPMS-based membrane lung with locally-modified permeabilities for optimal flow distribution

Membrane lungs consist of thousands of hollow fiber membranes packed together as a bundle. The devices often suffer from complications because of non-uniform flow through the membrane bundle, including regions of both excessively high flow and stagnant flow. Here, we present a proof-of-concept design for a membrane lung containing a membrane module based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). By warping the original TPMS geometries, the local permeability within any region of the module could be raised or lowered, allowing for the tailoring of the blood flow distribution through the device. By creating an iterative optimization scheme for determining the distribution of streamwise permeability inside a computational porous domain, the desired form of a lattice of TPMS elements was determined via simulation. This desired form was translated into a computer-aided design (CAD) model for a prototype device. The device was then produced via additive manufacturing in order to test the novel design against an industry-standard predicate device. Flow distribution was verifiably homogenized and residence time reduced, promising a more efficient performance and increased resistance to thrombosis. This work shows the promising extent to which TPMS can serve as a new building block for exchange processes in medical devices

In vivo antifungal activity of neem oil and aqueous extracts against leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora abelmoschii on okra

The cercospora leaf spot, caused by Cercospora abelmoschi Ellis and Everhart, is quite common in okra  culture. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of aqueous extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss), citronella (Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendle), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis L.), ecolife®, A. indica oil and fungicide cercobin 700 PM® in control of cercospora leaf spot on okra in greenhouse. The extracts and neem oil were tested in concentration 10%, the fungicide cercobin 700PM® in dose 2.5 g.l-1, applied 10 days after pathogen inoculation by leaf spray and the citric biomass extract ecolife® in concentration 5.0 ml.l-1, applied 10 days before pathogen inoculation. All treatments, except ecolife®, were effective in controlling cercospora leaf spot and may be recommended as alternatives in agroecological systems. © JASEMKeywords: Abelmoschus esculentus, aqueous extracts, Cercospora abelmoschi, fungicide cercobin andgreenhouse

Is tDCS an Adjunct Ergogenic Resource for Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance Performance? A Systematic Review

Exercise performance is influenced by many physical factors, such as muscle strength and endurance. Particularly in the physical fitness and sports performance contexts, there are many types of ergogenic aids to improve muscular strength and endurance performance, with non-athletes and even athletes using illegal drugs to reach the top. Thus, the development of innovative methods to aid in exercise performance is of great interest. One such method is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). A systematic search was performed on the following databases, until January 2019; PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Pedro database. Studies on tDCS for muscular strength and endurance performance improvement in non-athletes and athletes adults were included. We compared the effect of anodal-tDCS (a-tDCS) to a sham/control condition on the outcomes muscular strength and endurance performance. We found 26 controlled trials. No trial mentions negative side effects of the intervention. The data show differences between the studies investigating muscle strength and the studies evaluating endurance, with regard to successful use of tDCS. Studies investigating the efficiency of tDCS on improving muscular strength demonstrate positive effects of a-tDCS in 66.7% of parameters tested. In contrast, in studies evaluating the effects of a-tDCS on improving endurance performance the a-tDCS revealed a significant improvement in only 50% of parameters assessed. The majority of the data shows consistently influence of a-tDCS on muscular strength, but not to endurance performance. The results of this systematic review suggest that a-tDCS can improve muscular strength, but not to endurance performance
