Abstract

PT Telkom facing a business issue where their new user and ARPU (average revenue per user) target for Flexi in 2011 was not achieved and despite having the biggest market share among CDMA operators, but in fact, Flexi’s brand value was below its main competitor. There are several factors that cause this issue; one of them is marketing communication that became the focus of this final project. Researcher used the theory of integrated marketing communication (IMC), particularly regarding the effectiveness of an integrated marketing communication, evaluation of the integration of all marketing communications components, and marketing communications planning. The data were collected through a survey of Flexi users and non-users as well as interviews with Flexi sales manager assistant. The results showed that the cause of the issue is ineffective marketing communication integration due to ineffective marketing communication channels and inefficient marketing budget allocations. The solutions of the problem are new marketing communication that integrated with marketing objectives, customer behaviors, and marketing communication’s budget allocation.  Therefore, the researcher recommends Flexi to use direct from Telkom, TV and internet to provide information about Flexi’s features. Utilize TV, outdoor advertising, and print to increase the purchase intention. Make a new MC budget allocation plan by increasing the budget for internet, print, TV, outdoor advertising and bank channels and decreasing the budget allocation for radio, outlet, sales agency, trade showbooth, and event sponsorship channels. Keywords: Integrated Marketing Communication, Marketing Communication Effectiveness, Marketing Communication Budgeting, IMC Planning

Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by the formation of open and closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of AV. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), especially lipid peroxides (LPO), plays a role in mediating acne inflammation. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is one of the byproducts of LPO commonly used as a biomarker of cell damage.Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study consisted of sixty patients with AV. The samples were taken from the blood plasma of AV subjects. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) examination was performed. The normality of data distribution was determined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the differences of plasma MDA levels based on the severity of AV were determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test. P valueResults: Acne vulgaris was predominantly found in women (70%), age group of 18 – 25 years old (73,33%), and patients with family history of AV (61,67%). Higher plasma MDA levels were found in women [5,5 (2,53 – 77,6) nmol/mL], age group of 26 – 35 years [5,66 (2,73 – 25) nmol/mL], and subjects with family history of AV [5,49 (2,53 – 77,6) nmol/mL]. Based on the severity of AV, the severe AV group had highest plasma MDA [13,85 (2,69 – 77,6) nmol/mL], followed by moderate AV group [4,46 (2,53-14,3) nmol/mL] and mild AV [3,78 (2,47-6,88) nmol/mL]. There were differences in plasma MDA level based on the severity of AV (p<0,001).Conclusion: There were differences in plasma MDA levels based on the severity of AV.

Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin tumor and is derived from pluripotent cells in the basal layer of the epidermis. One of the BCC management options is surgery followed by a skin flap to close the wound defect. Case Illustration: We present a 43-year-old woman with a major complaint of non-healing sores on the left zygomatic region, close to the medial canthus, with frequent episodes of bleeding and itching since one year before admission. The lesion was excised and followed by histopathological examination, which revealed the BCC diagnosis with tumor-free edges. Closure of the defect with a rotation advancement flap was performed with good results. Discussion: The diagnosis of BCC in this patient was based on history taking, dermatological and histopathological examination. According to the dermatological examination, the patient presented with superficial ulcers with hyperpigmented bases, irregular margins and raised edges, partly covered by crust in the left zygomatic region, consistent with typical clinical manifestation of BCC. Histopathological findings of BCC may vary according to the subtype. However, most cases of BCCs usually have similar histological characteristics. Conclusion: The functional and cosmetic result of BCC following excision and defect closure with rotation advancement flap yielded good results with a shorter healing time.
