Analisis Mitigasi Risiko Penjualan Kopi Roasted Pada UKM Puntang Coffee Menggunakan Metode House of Risk

Saat ini bisnis penjualan kopi sangrai merupakan salah satu UKM yang berkembang pesat. Hal tersebut menyebabkan persaingan antar industri pengolahan kopi menjadi semakin ketat dengan selalu menyediakan kualitas kopi yang lebih baik. UKM Puntang Coffee adalah salah satu bisnis yang bergerak pada bisnis penjualan Coffee Roasted memiliki proses rantai pasok dan dari setiap proses tersebut memiliki risiko tidak dapat dipungkiri yang dapat merugikan Puntang Coffee dan juga bisa berdampak kualitas kopi. Belum optimalnya proses persediaan dan metode penyimpanan bahan baku menjadi salah satu risiko yang muncul sehingga mengganggu proses bisnis kopi roasted serta menurunkan value dari produk dihasilkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai kejadian risiko dan sumber risiko yang dapat menghambat proses bisnis penjualan kopi roasted pada UKM Puntang Coffee dan merencanakan langkah-langkah yang bisa meminimalkan risiko yang muncul untuk menanggulangi risiko tersebut. Metode house of risk (HOR) akan mmengenali risiko dan penyebabnya dan merancang prosedur penanganannya, serta untuk memetakan risiko tersebut digunakan Model Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR). Risiko yang telah teridentifikasi selanjutnya akan dirangking untuk menentukan nilai risiko dengan prioritas tertinggi, yang akan menjadi fokus upaya pencegahan dan mitigasi. 17 kejadian risiko, 19 agen risiko, dan 10 rencana mitigasi risiko prioritas dianalisis sebagai hasil penelitian

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid in the Eastern United States: What Have We Learned?

Adelges tsugae (Hemlock Woolly Adelgid) is a small piercing-sucking insect that feeds on hemlock trees (Tsuga spp.). Native to Asia and the Pacific Northwest, the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid is invasive in the eastern United States where it attacks Tsuga canadensis (Eastern Hemlock) and T. caroliniana (Carolina Hemlock). It is currently found in 19 eastern states and has caused extensive mortality to hemlock forests. The ecological and economic impacts of this pest are significant, widespread, and often difficult to quantify. As the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid continues to disperse throughout the range of Eastern and Carolina Hemlocks, management techniques aimed at controlling it are being researched, implemented, and assessed. This introductory paper provides an overview of the biology, life cycle, ecology, and history of this pest in the eastern US as a foundation for this special issue

Association of Heterotic Groups with Morphological Relationships and General Combining Ability in Eggplant

[EN] The identification of heterotic groups may provide an important advantage for hybrid eggplant (Solanum melongena) breeding. In this study, we evaluated the combining ability and heterotic patterns of eggplant lines in order to develop improved eggplant cultivars resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae (FOM). A set of 62 inbred lines was evaluated with 32 morphological descriptors and their relationships were analyzed through a multivariate cluster analysis. A subset of 39 inbred lines was selected and, together with 15 sister lines, they were crossed with two testers to investigate their general combining ability (GCA) and to establish heterotic groups. Twenty selected inbred lines with high GCA were intercrossed using a half-diallel mating design. Eighty-two hybrids were obtained and evaluated for yield and yield components. We found no association between morphological distance and membership to specific heterotic groups. However, heterosis for yield was found in hybrids among parents from different heterotic groups or that were included in all heterotic groups. Among the hybrids evaluated, some were found to be highly productive and resistant to FOM, being candidates for the registration of new cultivars with dramatically improved characteristics.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey financially supported this study with Project No: 107G027.

GSWO: A Programming Model for GPU-enabled Parallelization of Sliding Window Operations in Image Processing

Sliding Window Operations (SWOs) are widely used in image processing applications. They often have to be performed repeatedly across the target image, which can demand significant computing resources when processing large images with large windows. In applications in which real-time performance is essential, running these filters on a CPU often fails to deliver results within an acceptable timeframe. The emergence of sophisticated graphic processing units (GPUs) presents an opportunity to address this challenge. However, GPU programming requires a steep learning curve and is error-prone for novices, so the availability of a tool that can produce a GPU implementation automatically from the original CPU source code can provide an attractive means by which the GPU power can be harnessed effectively. This paper presents a GPUenabled programming model, called GSWO, which can assist GPU novices by converting their SWO-based image processing applications from the original C/C++ source code to CUDA code in a highly automated manner. This model includes a new set of simple SWO pragmas to generate GPU kernels and to support effective GPU memory management. We have implemented this programming model based on a CPU-to-GPU translator (C2GPU). Evaluations have been performed on a number of typical SWO image filters and applications. The experimental results show that the GSWO model is capable of efficiently accelerating these applications, with improved applicability and a speed-up of performance compared to several leading CPU-to- GPU source-to-source translators

Collecting data for global surgical indicators: a collaborative approach in the Pacific region

© Article author(s) (or their employer(s) unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017. All rights reserved. In 2015, the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery (LCoGS) recommended six surgical metrics to enable countries to measure their surgical and anaesthesia care delivery. These indicators have subsequently been accepted by the World Bank for inclusion in the World Development Indicators. With support from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Pacific Islands Surgical Association, 14 South Pacific countries collaborated to collect the first four of six LCoGS indicators. Thirteen countries collected all four indicators over a 6-month period from October 2015 to April 2016. Australia and New Zealand exceeded the recommended LCoGS target for all four indicators. Only 5 of 13 countries (38%) achieved 2-hour access for at least 80% of their population, with a range of 20% (Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands) to over 65% (Fiji and Samoa). Five of 13 (38%) countries met the target surgical volume of 5000 procedures per 100 000 population, with six performing less than 1600. Four of 14 (29%) countries had at least 20 surgical, anaesthesia and obstetric providers in their workforce per 100 000 population, with a range of 0.9 (Timor Leste) to 18.5 (Tuvalu). Perioperative mortality rate was reported by 13 of 14 countries, and ranged from 0.11% to 1.0%. We believe it is feasible to collect global surgery indicators across the South Pacific, a diverse geographical region encompassing high-income and low-income countries. Such metrics will allow direct comparison between similar nations, but more importantly provide baseline data that providers and politicians can use in advocacy national health planning

Investigation of Forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) Genotypes for Yield and Yield Components

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability of forage sorghum genotypes and to estimate genotypic, phenotypic, and environmental correlations with path and stability analysis. The experiments were conducted in Antalya and Konya locations of Turkey during 2014-2015 years by using 48 selected forage sorghum lines and 4 sorghum varieties. Experimental design was the randomized complete block, with three replications. Significant variations were recorded for all the characters among the genotypes. The highest plant height has been optained from 355.2 cm and 300.1 cm in Antalya and Konya location respectively. Days to 50% flowering ranged from 64.8-101.3 days in Antalya and 69.0-111.2 days in Konya. The highest forage yield was observed in Line-22 with 99.1 tha-1 in Antalya and in Line-41 with 75.5 tha-1 in Konya. Forage yield was significantly and highly positively correlated with hay yield (r = 0.9851**), plant leaf ratio (r=0.3478*) and stalk yield (r=0.9901**). Path analysis revealed the plant stalk ratio direct positive effect on forage yield. On the other hand, plant stalk yield had negative direct effect through forage yield. According to results of the stability analysis, Line-1, 3, 5, 13, 21,40, 42 and 44 were the most stable varieties
