Prevalensi diabetes melitus tipe 2 pada masa pandemi COVID-19 di praktik dokter keluarga Kota Manado

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels. As the 6th leading cause of death in developing countries, type 2 DM (T2DM) accounts for 90% of all DM cases. Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2018 states prevalence of DM in Manado City was 4.51%. This study aims to determine the epidemiological data of T2DM during the COVID-19 pandemic in family doctor practices in Manado City, with the specific aim of knowing its prevalence and pattern of it. This study was a retrospective descriptive study with a cross-sectional study design. Data were from the medical record data of T2DM patients in family doctor practices in Manado City from June 2021 to May 2022. The results showed that the prevalence of T2DM in family doctor practices was 28.64%. Most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were female, and most T2DM patients were over 65 years old. Local health services can carry out counselling efforts to prevent DM disease. Keywords: type 2 diebetes mellitus, prevalence, incidence pattern, age, sex &nbsp

The Importance of Information TECHNOLOGY in Supporting the Teaching Learning Process in Elementary School

Today's technology is the result of the formation and development of science, and occurs in the field of education. Very suitable for education. Education itself is also suitable for the use of technology to assist the implementation of learning. If information technology is not suitable for the implementation of education, it will be difficult to catch up with the increasingly advanced technology today. As the researchers found in one of the schools in Pone Village, West Limboto District, Gorontalo Regency, namely at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Pone. The school does not have adequate information technology, and the incomplete infrastructure at the school prevents students from learning more about increasingly advanced technology. In this study the researcher used a survey method, the type of qualitative descriptive research. Data collection techniques in this study are observation, interviews and documentation. i Technology in education is a system that is used to support learning so that the desired results are achieved. The implementation of technology in education in Indonesia is that technology can be used as learning, administrative tools, and learning resources

Techno-economic analysis of commercial size grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems in Malaysia under the NEM 3.0 scheme

Commercial grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems are widely applied worldwide as part of affordable and clean energy initiatives and viable long-term solutions for energy security. This is particularly true in a crowded city where space is a constraint and at the same time, there are unutilized rooftops. With the recently announced Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0, commercial buildings in Malaysia can apply up to 75% capacity of the maximum demand (MD), which can be connected to the grid. Apart from reducing electricity bills, the owner can offset energy for 10 years. This paper presents a design analysis with the details of the sizing of a rooftop PV system. The PVsyst software tool is used to estimate the energy produced by a 380 kWp system, and this study provides a financial analysis to evaluate the profitability of the system with a particular interest in commercial buildings under the NEM 3.0 policy, which has resulted in 8.4 years return of investment (ROI). PVsyst is a software used to size the PV system and provides technical, financial, and environmental analysis. This in-depth analysis could provide a useful case study for asset owners in deciding the way forward for sustainable energy production, cost saving, and combating the energy security issue, since Malaysia is blessed with an abundance of sunshine throughout the year

A Decade of Transitioning Malaysia toward a High-Solar PV Energy Penetration Nation

In the last 10 years, Malaysia has aggressively moved towards a higher penetration of 20% of renewable energy (RE) in the Malaysian energy mix by 2025. Several incentives and initiatives have taken place with the aim of achieving the goals in terms of installed capacity and catching up with the leading countries in these sectors. Since 2011, Malaysia started the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) before introducing Net Energy Metering (NEM) in 2017, and recently, another initiative known as NEM 3.0 has been introduced. This paper reviews all policies undertaken by the Malaysian government from 2011 to 2021 in spearheading the country to be on par with others, especially those in the Southeast Asian (SEA) region. The effectiveness of each policy on the growth of photovoltaic PV energy installation is highlighted, and the latest update on the NEM 3.0 policy is also discussed. A comparison of each approach in terms of installed capacity and system connection setup to the grid is also considered for the benefit and sharing of knowledge from one of the fastest-developing countries in the region
