IJER No.13 (2016) Issue No. :8 (2016)Small and Medium Enterprises can prove that the downstream industry sector\ud can be the foundation for the national economy compared to the upstream industry that\ud tends to crash. It is proved by the increasing number of SMEs, both in small and medium\ud scales, every year. In the developing countries, SME is a major economic activity that gives revenue contribution and creates great labor absorption rate. This research was conducted in South Sulawesi province by selecting three clusters from the districts considered representative, they are Wajo, Sidrap and Soppeng Districts. It was conducted because these regions are the centers for silk handicraft SMEs. The population of this research is all of silk SMEs, both incorporated and not incorporated, located in South Sulawesi, particularly in the Soppeng, Sidrap and Wajo Districts. 3. The result show (1) Government Policy has significantly direct effect to strategic competitiveness, but not significantly to marketing performance. (2) entreprenurial orientation and marketing strategy has not significantly direcft effect to strategic competitiveness and marketing performance. (3), There is no mediation effect of strategic competitiveness, in relationship between government policy, entrepreneurial orientation and marketing strategi towards marketing performance of small and medium enterprises (SME) in South Sulawesi. It is recommended that the owners and managers of Silk SMEs need to address and take the initiative in order to improve the current system of marketing strategies implemented to be better, so that the strategic competitiveness and marketing performance marketing can be improved in the future

A Wireless ECG Device with Mobile Applications for Android

Electrocardiograph (ECG) is a measuring device that used in hospital to monitor electrical activity of heart. Commonly used ECG device is a Holter monitor, a portable and wired device, which is bulky and not suitable for measuring and recording athlete's heart activity during training. The objective of this study was to design the ECG monitoring system as an Internet of Things (IoT) device, equipped with a temperature detector to detect user's body temperature. The ECG signals and the temperature were transmitted wirelessly using Bluetooth transmission to the mobile applications (apps). Both signals were set to display on mobile apps which was developed using Blynk application. At the end of this project, the signals were shown on the mobile apps and the user could monitor their own ECG signals as well as to share with their caretaker or physician later

A randomized, doubled-blind study comparing multiple doses of Channa striatus supplementation for knee osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of chronic disability at older age. Channa striatus (CS) is a freshwater fish that is traditionally valued for its medicinal properties in promoting wound healing and reducing post-operative pain. This study evaluate the efficacy of different doses of oral Channa striatus extract on primary knee osteoarthritis patients. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 3-arm trial was conducted comparing oral CS extract 1000 mg/day or 500 mg/day and placebo among knee OA patients for a 6-month intervention period. The main outcome measures were Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), analgesic scores and serum cartilage oligomeric matric protein (COMP). Laboratory-based blood tests were used as safety measures. A total of 120 patients were randomized, and 112 patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Significant reductions in WOMAC stiffness and function scores were achieved at month 6 in CS 1000 mg/day and CS 500 mg/day compared to placebo groups (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of analgesic scores, serum COMP and biochemical parameters. No serious adverse events were reported in the study. In conclusion, both doses of CS showed similar efficacy and were more effective than the placebo in treating the symptoms of knee OA

Serological prevalance of leptospiral infection in captive Malayan porcupiness (Hystrix brachyura)

Leptospirosis is recognised as one of the leading zoonotic diseases and rodents have been implicated as one of the natural reservoirs of the disease. The Malayan porcupines (Hystrix brachyura) which are also a rodent could possibly be a carrier of leptospiral organisms. This study was conducted to determine the serological prevalence of leptospiral infection among captive Malayan porcupines and to disclose the possibility of porcupines as a reservoir for leptospiral infection. Fifty serum samples were obtained from the Malayan porcupines kept in captivity at the Wildlife Conservation Centre, Sungai Dusun, Malaysia. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) was performed on the serum samples to detect the presence of agglutinating antibodies to a panel of 16 Leptospira serovars (Australis, Autumnalis, Ballum, Bataviae, Canicola, Celledoni, Djasiman, Hardjobovis, Hardjopratjino, Hebdomadis, Hurstbridge, Icterohaemorrhagiae, Javanica, Pomona, Pyrogenes and Sejroe). From the serological test, 18% (n=9/50) of the Malayan porcupines tested had leptospiral antibodies to serovars Javanica (8%), Hurstbridge (4%), Ballum (2%), Celledoni (2%) and Hardjoprajitno (2%). It is seen that this study disclosed a high prevalence of leptospiral infection in the Malayan porcupines tested and indicated that the Malayan porcupines could possibly be a source of leptospirosis to other animals including humans and that they might play an important role in the epidemiology of leptospiral infection in the country
