PREPARATION OF CALCIUM PHOSPHATE BIOCERAMIC POWDERS SYNTHESIZED IN SIMULATED BODY FLUID MEDIA

In this study, calcium phosphate bioceramics powders were synthesized using Ca(NO3)2.4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as the precursor by a biomimetic process. The condition of the synthesizing process is set mimicking the human physiological environment. The synthesized samples then were dried and calcined at several temperatures. The samples were studied after characterized by XRD, FT-IR, EDS and SEM. The process in this study was successful in synthesizing various types of calcium phosphate bioceramics.Keywords: Calcium phosphate bioceramics, biomimetic proces

Mixed messages: assessing communication in architectural education and practice

The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of communication in both the academic and professional architecture communities. The author addressed (a) whether profession-specific communication skills are part of any National Architectural Accrediting Board-accredited U.S. undergraduate architecture program; (b) how architectural educators feel about communication studies; and (c) how registered architects feel about communication skills in their practice. Research findings pointed to a dichotomy in academic and professional perceptions of the importance of communication training in undergraduate architecture education. While only 13.8 percent of academic programs require communication coursework directly related to architectural practice, 94 percent of architects surveyed indicated communication skills are very important to their practice and 73 percent of architects indicated their undergraduate architecture education did not adequately prepare them for professional practice. Implications for educating future architects are discussed

ADAPTATION OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY-LEGAL ENTITY’S EMPLOYEES ON WORK PATTERN CHANGES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The COVID-19 pandemic phenomenon is causing increased stimulus to digital acceleration, and organizational work patterns change, thus creating a new work way for X University employees. Human resources management should keep on striving to retain employees as an essential asset. The purpose of this research is to analyze supporting factors and strategize to improve the adaptability of the education supporting staff of X University in changing situations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of respondents who filled in the online questionnaire and were selected by using a purposive sampling method was 297 respondents. The data analysis tool used in this study is Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The research found that engaging leadership, human resources management practice and job demands had no direct effect on work engagement. Job resources and personal resources had a direct effect on work engagement. Engaging leadership, human resources management practice, job demands, and job resources had no direct effect on performance. Personal resources and work engagement had a direct effect on performance. Work engagement was able to become a mediator for job resources and personal resources towards performance

An Exploratory Investigation of Genetics Health Services in Virginia

Health care efficacy ranges over multiple influential components, not confined only to personal details such as demographics, but also more external variables such as socioeconomic status or area of residence. The impact also influences specified health care services like genetics, creating concern for public health due to the varied impact residents experience because of factors out of their control. This investigation assesses the current state of both general health care services and genetics services for residents within Virginia, a state that contains numerous subpopulations of interest. This study utilized census data and date from the County Health Rankins & Roadmaps to assess the split of urban and rural counties, which have incredibly different needs due to these variables. Analysis of information like area of residence, mean household income, and proportion of residents uninsured can inform providers where mitigation efforts could be best tailored towards. This is only amplified when specified health care recipients can be surveyed about their experiences and perceptions of care, permitting individual-level feedback as was done within this study. County-level data showed that urban residents tend to have higher mean household income and have a higher probability of being insured than their rural counterparts. A survey of Virginia residents regarding genetic services was also developed and distributed. Respondents stated lack of educational resources, long wait times for preliminary appointments, and dissatisfaction with mental/emotional support, showing there are numerous avenues for improvement. Though these trends reflect a bleak status of health services, opportunities within telehealth and family-to-family support networks provide exciting chances to enact change. However, this must be paired with cohesive and coherent effort from health care providers to minimize barriers and help those currently disadvantaged

PENGEMBANGAN PROGRAM FUZZER UNTUK MENGETAHUI VULNERABILITY APLIKASI WINDOWS

Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi yang semakin berkembang dari hari ke hari di bidang teknologi komputer dan jaringan, semakin banyaknya software dan aplikasi yang di ciptakan guna untuk membantu pengguna. Namun terkadang pengguna tidak menyadari jika aplikasi atau software yang digunakan bisa menjadi suatu celah yang membahayakan, dan memungkinkan terjadinya eksploitasi dari celah yang ada. Pada tahap implementasi bagaimana seorang menemukan vulner pada aplikasi kemudian melakukan eksploitasi dan mengontrol sistem, dengan cara melakukan fuzzing dan debugging pada aplikasi kemudian menyisipkan payload pada fuzzer, ketika payload dapat berjalan dengan baik kemudian melakukan telnet. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan adalah bagaimana menemukan vulner pada aplikasi RM-MP3 Converter dan VUPlayer agar dapa tereksploitasi, dengan melakukan debugging dan beberapa proses lainya untuk mengeksploit aplikasi tersebut. Kata kunci : buffer overflow, fuzzing, debugging, vulnerability, payload, telnet
