Designing an analysis system for imaging process from bone scintigraphy as a potential predictor for validation of bone metastases

Cancer is a disease that is the leading cause of death worldwide. In 2012, there were 8.2 million deaths caused by cancer. Cancer suffered by patients can metastasize to other body parts, such as the lungs, liver, brain, and bones. The risk of bone metastases becomes higher after cancer has spread to other body tissues, so it is necessary to do more specific bone examinations. Bone scintigraphy is one of the applications from nuclear medicine that utilizes 99mTc radioactive material as a radio-pharmaceutical for bone scanning examinations. Bone scintigraphy is done to determine the presence of metastases in the bone caused by cancer. This bone scan is an image capture method with high sensitivity but has the disadvantage of not clearly distinguishing the presence of hotspots that appear due to metastases, trauma, or other abnormalities in the bones. This research aims to create an analysis system design based on image processing scripts using MATLAB. Medical physicists and nuclear medicine technicians can later use this system to conduct quantitative analysis as a reliable predictor system that validates visual analysis of hotspots suspected of being metastasis of cancer. Based on the result, prediction of the presence of bone metastasis by quantitative analysis using digital image processing techniques can be made. With a significance level of 5%, a prediction results using the analysis system design are compatible with the results of the diagnosis obtained from the medical record data of the patient of (85.67% ± 12.71%)

Behind The Positive Attitude of The Indonesian Army Academic Staff: A Rasch Model Analysis

The Indonesian National Army is an integral part of the Indonesia Archipelago. As the national component, the Army has the main task of maintaining the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity of the unitary state. Therefore it needs high-quality human resources. The aim of the research was examining the real motivational factors behind the positive attitude of The Indonesian Army Academic Staff. The study applied a Rasch Model method. The Rasch Model Analysis was used to examine the research variable based on its dimensions and indicators. The research results show that team-building development process has been successfully proven, based on the research results. The Rasch Model analysis also shows that team-spirit among The Indonesian National Army members is very solid. It is the most satisfactory factor that creates positive task-attitude among the army academic staff. At the same time, the promotion is the most challenging factor to agree with among them

Respon Kacang Panjang terhadap Pupuk Organik Cair Babandotan (Ageratum conyzoides)

Kacang panjang merupakan tanaman hortikultura yang dimanfaatkan buahnya. Salah satu cara meningkatkan hasil kacang panjang ialah dengan pupuk organik cair (POC), serta pemilihan varietas. Percobaan ini bertujuan untuk menentukan konsentrasi POC yang optimum pada beberapa varietas kacang panjang, serta menentukan pertumbuhan dan hasil kacang panjang terbaik dari tiga varietas kacang panjang yang diuji. Percobaan dilakukan selama 62 hari dan waktu berakhir selama 3 bulan pada kacang panjang. Percobaan dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret hingga Mei 2019 di Rawa Makmur, Kecamatan Muara Bangkahulu Kota Bengkulu. Percobaan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan dua faktor,  faktor pertama adalah berbagai konsentrasi pupuk organik cair dan faktor kedua adalah tiga varietas kacang panjang. Dari kedua faktor diperoleh 12 kombinasi perlakuan dan diulang sebanyak tiga kali.  Pengamatan dilakukan pada seluruh variabel pengamatan meliputi tinggi tanaman, diameter batang, kehijauan daun, muncul berbunga, bobot panen, bobot buah perbuah, bobot buah pertanaman, panjang buah, jumlah buah, bobot segar tajuk, bobot segar akar bobot kering tajuk, bobot kering akar. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis varian (ANAVA) taraf 5%. Uji lanjut dilakukan dengan Polinomial Ortogonal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, konsentrasi POC Babandotan 200ml, 400ml, dan 600ml tidak mempengaruhi pertumbuhan dan hasil kacang panjang kecuali terhadap diameter batang, bobot kering tanaman, umur tanaman berbunga dan panjang buah. Tidak terdapat perbedaan pertumbuhan dan hasil antara kacang panjang varietas Kanton, Borneo dan UBKP kecuali pada umur berbunga tanaman

Water quality monitoring using wireless sensor network and smartphone-based applications: a review

A wireless sensor network (WSN) has a huge potential in water ecology monitoring applications. The integration of WSN to a portable sensing device offers the feasibility of sensing distribution capability, on-site data measurements, and remote sensing abilities. Due to the advancement of WSN technology, unexpected contamination events in water environments can be observed continuously. Local Area Network (LAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Internet web-based are commonly used as a gateway unit for data communication via local base computer using standard Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) or General Packet Radio Services (GPRS). However, WSN construction is costly and a growing static infrastructure increases the energy consumptions. Hence, a growing trend of smartphone-based application in the field of water monitoring is a surrogate approach to engage mobile base stations for in-field analysis that are driven by the expanding adaptation of Bluetooth, ZigBee and standard Wi-Fi routers. Owing to the fact that smartphones are portable and accessible, mobile data collection from WSN in remote locations are achievable. This paper comprehensively reviews the detection of water contaminants using smartphone-based applications in accordance with WSN technologies. In this paper, some recommendations and prospective views on the developments of water quality monitoring will be discussed

Functional Instructor Needs for Application of General Services Agency

We determined the number and strategy of instructors functional needs for now and projections in the next five years in the Politeknik Penerbangan Palembang using the Load Analysis method Work and Comparison Ratio. We obtained the data from documentation of Balai Diklat Penerbangan Palembang and then analyzed using the workload analysis method and comparison ratios to find out the number of instructors’ needs for now and 5 five years later. The results obtained indicate that the number of instructors currently and future is less than the needs and the strategies that can be taken to overcome are mutations, internal and external recruitment, and preparation of Standard Operating Procedure related to the training of instructors. This paper contributed to official management to develop instructors based on the needs

Early detection of pipeline leakage using ultrasonic sensor

Pipelines leakage is the main problem faced by industries. The main causes of leakage on pipelines are corrosion, crack and disaster. This problem must be detected early to ensure that maintenance work can be done quickly to prevent pipe bursts, as well as to minimize operational costs. The objective of this research is to review a method for early detection of leakage on pipeline that affect by the changing water level in the pipeline. The method used in this research is ultrasonic sensor that is implanted on the outer surface pipeline
