Kualitas Pelayanan Perpustakaan Digital Berdasarkan In-deks Kepuasan Masyarakat

Perpustakaan merupakan salah satu pusat sumber belajar yang dapat digunakan oleh pemakai dalam hal ini mahasiswa, dosen, maupun masyarakat dalam upaya mengembangkan kemampuan dan kecakapannya.Semakin baik kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan, semakin tinggi tingkat kepuasan dan kepercayaan mahasiswa terhadap perpustakaan digital maka dilakukan penelitian tentang Kualitas Pelayanan Perpustakaan Digital Berdasarkan Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat di perpustakaan Notohamidjojo Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana Salatiga, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas pelayanan perpustakaan digital berdasarkan indeks kepuasan mahasiswa dan metode yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini adalah analisis statistik deskriptif, data kuantitatif yang diperoleh pada penelitian ini yaitu melalui kuesioner. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, analisis Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat (IKM) terhadap layanan perpustakaan digital di Perpustakaan O. Notohamidjojo Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana Salatiga menunjukkan kategori baik (B). Unsur pelayanan yang memperoleh nilai tertinggi adalah kemampuan petugas dalam memberikan pelayanan, sedangkan unsur dengan nilai terendah adalah persyaratan pelayanan

Evaluation of pre-processing methods for tear fluid proteomics using proximity extension assays

Tear fluid forms a potential source for biomarker identification, and can be minimal invasively collected via Schirmer strips. The lack of knowledge on the processing of Schirmer strips however complicates the analysis and between-study comparisons. We studied two different pre-processing methods, specifically the use of punches of the strip versus elution of the strip in a buffer. Tear fluid filled Schirmer strips were collected from 5 healthy participants, and divided into two halves over the length of the strip. In either part, punches or eluates were obtained from 4 different locations, from the first part touching the eye (head) to the end, to assess the protein distribution along the strips. The levels of 92 inflammatory proteins were measured in the punches/eluates using proximity extension assays. The punch method yielded higher protein detectability compared to the elution method (76% vs 66%; p ≤ 0.001). Protein expression level was found to be slightly higher in the head of the strip, however, 3 out of 5 punches from the head failed quality control. Protein expression levels over the remaining parts of the strips were similar. Our study showed beneficial use of punches of any part of the strip except the head in future biomarker research

Many Labs 5: Testing Pre-Data-Collection Peer Review as an Intervention to Increase Replicability

Replication studies in psychological science sometimes fail to reproduce prior findings. If these studies use methods that are unfaithful to the original study or ineffective in eliciting the phenomenon of interest, then a failure to replicate may be a failure of the protocol rather than a challenge to the original finding. Formal pre-data-collection peer review by experts may address shortcomings and increase replicability rates. We selected 10 replication studies from the Reproducibility Project: Psychology (RP:P; Open Science Collaboration, 2015) for which the original authors had expressed concerns about the replication designs before data collection; only one of these studies had yielded a statistically significant effect (p lt .05). Commenters suggested that lack of adherence to expert review and low-powered tests were the reasons that most of these RP:P studies failed to replicate the original effects. We revised the replication protocols and received formal peer review prior to conducting new replication studies. We administered the RP:P and revised protocols in multiple laboratories (median number of laboratories per original study = 6.5, range = 3–9; median total sample = 1,279.5, range = 276–3,512) for high-powered tests of each original finding with both protocols. Overall, following the preregistered analysis plan, we found that the revised protocols produced effect sizes similar to those of the RP:P protocols (Δr =.002 or.014, depending on analytic approach). The median effect size for the revised protocols (r =.05) was similar to that of the RP:P protocols (r =.04) and the original RP:P replications (r =.11), and smaller than that of the original studies (r =.37). Analysis of the cumulative evidence across the original studies and the corresponding three replication attempts provided very precise estimates of the 10 tested effects and indicated that their effect sizes (median r =.07, range =.00–.15) were 78% smaller, on average, than the original effect sizes (median r =.37, range =.19–.50)
