Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Administrasi Pengelolaan Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat (Studi Kasus Institut Bisnis dan Informatika STIKOM Surabaya)

Institute for Business and Information Technology, hereinafter referred Stikom Surabaya is one of the private universities. To support the Tri Dharma College Stikom Surabaya has a Research and Community Service (PPM). Constraints existing at the time of submission of the proposal that still use hardcopy, so it takes at the time of assessment because the operator must distribute the proposal which led to the reviewer can not immediately make an assessment. Announcement of the results of the assessment and the schedule operator exposure is done through email one by one from the registration file for support, so the announcement process takes time. Making the report was done by looking at the file registration and assessment unprocessed. Those problems can be solved by the creation of applications that can simplify the submission of proposals to the final report, as well as help improve service to the proposer, reviewer and leadership in conducting administrative activities PPM management. After testing it can be concluded that the applications made to assist and accelerate the process of administrative activities PPM. In addition computerized registration is done so as to reduce the use of paper (paperless) and pelayanaan registration and assessment can be accessed anywhere and anytime. This application provides information about the activity of the faculty in conducting research and community service

The Unusual Radio Afterglow of the Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 130925A

GRB 130925A is one of the recent additions to the growing family of ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; T90 ≳1000 s). While the X-ray emission of ultra-long GRBs have been studied extensively in the past, no comprehensive radio data set has been obtained so far. We report here the early discovery of an unusual radio afterglow associated with the ultra-long GRB 130925A. The radio emission peaks at low-frequencies (∼7 GHz) at early times, only 2.2 days after the burst occurred. More notably, the radio spectrum at frequencies above 10 GHz exhibits a rather steep cut-off, compared to other long GRB radio afterglows. This cut-off can be explained if the emitting electrons are either mono-energetic or originate from a rather steep, dN/dE ∝ E-4, power-law energy distribution. An alternative electron acceleration mechanism may be required to produce such an electron energy distribution. Furthermore, the radio spectrum exhibits a secondary underlying and slowly varying component. This may hint that the radio emission we observed is comprised of emission from both a reverse and a forward shock. We discuss our results in comparison with previous works that studied the unusual X-ray spectrum of this event and discuss the implications of our findings on progenitor scenarios. © 2015.

Rationality Value In Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World

The purpose of this study is to find the rationality value as seen in Sophie Amundsen's character and to know how that rationality value defines her character. This study is categorized as a descriptive qualitative design. The source of data is taken from the Sophie's World novel by Jostein Gaarder. This study used rationality theory from the rationalist such as Socrates, Plato, and Descartes, with the addition from Suwardi Endraswara and Ranjabar. The result of this research showed that the rationality values found in Sophie's World novel are reasoning, doubting, and finding the agreement. The most appear rationality value is Sophie's reasoning. When Sophie accept her lesson about philosophy, she shows her reasoning in case of receive her philosophical lesson. From her reasoning, Sophie's character changed. Philosophy taught her about thinking rationally, logically, systematic, and critical. Thus, we can see that Sophie Amundsen is a dynamic character. From those three rationality values, Sophie Amundsen becomes thoughtful, skeptic, and has an understanding to others opinion that make her become wiser

Student Traveler : Let’s Explore Indonesia

Learning English is a must-have skill, particularly for the millennial generation, which will compete globally with people from all over the world. Mastering English is no longer a choice; it is an unavoidable must. Language, particularly English, serves as a portal to the rest of the world. Reading and writing are essential skills for all students, especially as they strive to become more insightful students who will be fully useful and knowledgeable human beings in the future. As a result, students will have the insight and knowledge necessary to construct and govern this country as future leaders. Writing, in addition to reading, is a requirement for demonstrating students’ linguistic competence. Writing is one of our methods for ensuring the survival and continuance of our information. This book chapter includes information that will help everyone to travel either all around Indonesia or the world

Associations of circulating very-long-chain saturated fatty acids and incident type 2 diabetes: a pooled analysis of prospective cohort studies.

BACKGROUND: Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) of different chain lengths have unique metabolic and biological effects, and a small number of recent studies suggest that higher circulating concentrations of the very-long-chain SFAs (VLSFAs) arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0), and lignoceric acid (24:0) are associated with a lower risk of diabetes. Confirmation of these findings in a large and diverse population is needed. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the associations of circulating VLSFAs 20:0, 22:0, and 24:0 with incident type 2 diabetes in prospective studies. METHODS: Twelve studies that are part of the Fatty Acids and Outcomes Research Consortium participated in the analysis. Using Cox or logistic regression within studies and an inverse-variance-weighted meta-analysis across studies, we examined the associations of VLSFAs 20:0, 22:0, and 24:0 with incident diabetes among 51,431 participants. RESULTS: There were 14,276 cases of incident diabetes across participating studies. Higher circulating concentrations of 20:0, 22:0, and 24:0 were each associated with a lower risk of incident diabetes. Pooling across cohorts, the RR (95% CI) for incident diabetes comparing the 90th percentile to the 10th percentile was 0.78 (0.70, 0.87) for 20:0, 0.84 (0.77, 0.91) for 22:0, and 0.75 (0.69, 0.83) for 24:0 after adjustment for demographic, lifestyle, adiposity, and other health factors. Results were fully attenuated in exploratory models that adjusted for circulating 16:0 and triglycerides. CONCLUSIONS: Results from this pooled analysis indicate that higher concentrations of circulating VLSFAs 20:0, 22:0, and 24:0 are each associated with a lower risk of diabetes.NJW, NGF, and FI were funded by MRC Epidemiology Unit (MC_UU_12015/1, MC_UU_12015/5); NGF, AK, NJW, funded by National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre Cambridge (IS-BRC-1215-20014); and AK, funded by MRC Elsie Widdowson Laboratory MC_UD99999906 and Cambridge Lipidomics Biomarker Research Initiative G0800783

Pancreatic surgery outcomes: multicentre prospective snapshot study in 67 countries

Background: Pancreatic surgery remains associated with high morbidity rates. Although postoperative mortality appears to have improved with specialization, the outcomes reported in the literature reflect the activity of highly specialized centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes following pancreatic surgery worldwide.Methods: This was an international, prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional snapshot study of consecutive patients undergoing pancreatic operations worldwide in a 3-month interval in 2021. The primary outcome was postoperative mortality within 90 days of surgery. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore relationships with Human Development Index (HDI) and other parameters.Results: A total of 4223 patients from 67 countries were analysed. A complication of any severity was detected in 68.7 percent of patients (2901 of 4223). Major complication rates (Clavien-Dindo grade at least IIIa) were 24, 18, and 27 percent, and mortality rates were 10, 5, and 5 per cent in low-to-middle-, high-, and very high-HDI countries respectively. The 90-day postoperative mortality rate was 5.4 per cent (229 of 4223) overall, but was significantly higher in the low-to-middle-HDI group (adjusted OR 2.88, 95 per cent c.i. 1.80 to 4.48). The overall failure-to-rescue rate was 21 percent; however, it was 41 per cent in low-to-middle-compared with 19 per cent in very high-HDI countries.Conclusion: Excess mortality in low-to-middle-HDI countries could be attributable to failure to rescue of patients from severe complications. The authors call for a collaborative response from international and regional associations of pancreatic surgeons to address management related to death from postoperative complications to tackle the global disparities in the outcomes of pancreatic surgery (NCT04652271; ISRCTN95140761)
