IMPLEMENTATION BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY ON THE MEDICAL SUPPORTING DEVICE

Non-compliance from a patient is a serious problem, with a big consequence in case of health and costs. ECCT B.V. tries to develop some supporting devices expected to help patients to report their compliance. One of these supporting devices is a dispenser. These devices record data about time and other clinically relevant information. The electronic circuit also contains RFID technology, it is possible for Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled mobile telephone or a NFC reader to take the stored data. If we compare Bluetooth with NFC, Bluetooth has an advantage in range, Bluetooth has wider range than NFC. When the dispenser starts using BLE, there is no need for us to make the dispenser close to BLE enabled mobile phone or reader, we can separate it in some distance. The antenna design was done by using CST Microwave Studio 2009, provided by Fontys Hogescholen. In this project, author uses printed Inverted F Antenna as the antenna. Inverted F Antenna has some advantages and also fulfills the requirements for transmitting and receiving data. From the simulation we can find out there is 7 parameters affected on the antenna performance. Length is one of the parameters affected to the antenna resonant frequency. From the measurement result, Bluetooth Low Energy for “Firefly” can reach 10 meters range and can stand for 3 years using coin cell battery. In the future, the “Firefly” should be developed in thinner PCB, 0.5mm PCB thickness, because dispenser requires 0.5 mm PCB thickness for the perfect final product.

Psychological Distance Terhadap Wise Reasoning Pada Mahasiswa

Keberadaan kebijaksanaan pada individu merupakan kualitas individu yang secara khas muncul dari hubungan integratif antara sejumlah karakter yang ada. Salah satu teori yang digunakan dalam menilai kebijaksanaan adalah wise reasoning. Wise Reasoning memiliki enam aspek yang dianalisis dari respon partisipan terhadap dilema sosial. Komponen-komponen tersebut adalah, perspektif, Perubahan, fleksibel, ketidak-pastian atau batas-batas pengetahuan, kompromi dan resolusi konflik. Wise reasoning dapat dipengaruhi oleh psychological distance (immersed and distance) Rumusan masalah penelitian ini adalah; (1) Apakah terdapat perbedaan wise reasoning pada individu yang melakukan self immersed dan individu yang menggunakan self distance? (2) Apakah terdapat perbedaan wise reasoning pada individu yang pernah mengalami kasus atau yang belum pernah mengalami kasus yang sama? dan (3) Apakah terdapat perbedaan wise reasoning pada individu dengan kasus yang dialami dan belum pernah dialami dengan menggunakan self immersed dan self distance? Subjek penelitian ini sebanyak 60 mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Makassar. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah true experimental (eksperimen murni) dengan desain penelitian randomized posttest only control group design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa psychological distance (immersed and distance) tidak memberikan hasil yang signifikan terhadap wise reasoning

Questionnaires were distributed to 100 samples of Business Administration's students batch 2016. This research used variable such as: friends attending college, influence of parents, influence of friends, influence of other individuals, location, academic program, academic reputation, educational facilities, costs, available of financial aid, employment opportunities, advertising, HEI's representative and visit campus.Based on analysis, it was found 5 new factors such as college's image, college promotion, influence of parents, influence of friends and college's location. College's image factor has the biggest variances value such as 29,15% in forming choise decision of Telkom University Prodi S1 Business Administration as a private college

A Study on the Ability of the Second Year Students of SMPN 1 Pekanbaru in Comprehending Short Functional Texts

This descriptive research was aimed at finding out the ability of the second year students of SMPN 1 Pekanbaru in comprehending short functional texts. This research focuses on students' comprehending three kinds of short functional text in terms of advertisement, invitation card and short message text. The data were collected by usingreading comprehensiontest with multiple choice types. The test contained 36 items. The population were the second year students of SMPN 1 Pekanbaru in academic year 2016/2017.The sample size was 40 students out of the population, chosen by using cluster random sampling technique.Based on the data analysis, each type of short functional texts is in the good level with the mean score of 60.98, advertisement, 62.68 is in the good level, invitation card, 58.31is in mediocre level and short message text, 63.10 is in good level.As a conclusion, the highest score obtained by the students is in comprehending short message text with the mean score of 63.10 which is categorized into good level. The lowest score among three types of short functional text is in comprehending invitation card, with the mean score of 58.31 which is categorized into mediocre level. The implication of the findings is that the students need to learn more seriously about short functional text, particularly about invitation card

Vitamin D and Its Effects on Glucose Homeostasis, Cardiovascular Function and Immune Function

In recent years there has been increasing interest in the non-skeletal effects of vitamin D. It has been suggested that vitamin D deficiency may influence the development of diabetes, cardiovascular dysfunction and autoimmune diseases. This review focuses on the current knowledge of the effects of vitamin D and its deficiency on cardiovascular function, glucose homeostasis and immune function, with a particular focus on children. Although, there is good evidence to show that there is an association between vitamin D deficiency and an abnormality of the above systems, there is little evidence to show that vitamin D supplementation leads to an improvement in function, especially in childhood
