Abstract

Recent advances in tests for the sexually transmitted protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis have increased opportunities for diagnosis and treatment of this important sexually transmitted infection. This review summarizes current available tests, highlighting their performance characteristics, advantages, and limitations. The recent development of molecular tests for the detection of T vaginalis, including rapid antigen detection and nucleic acid amplification tests, has significantly improved the quality of diagnostics for trichomoniasis, particularly in women. In light of the expanded menu of testing options now available, improved recognition and better control of trichomoniasis are in sight, which should enable the eventual reduction of adverse reproductive consequences associated with T vaginalis infection.

Abstract

Inflammation is characterized by interactions between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are generally classified in one or another category: interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), gamma-interferon (IFN-γ), IL-12, IL-18 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, . classified as pro-inflammatory cytokines while IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IFN-α and transforming growth factor-β are anti-inflammatory cytokines. In this review, it is demonstrated that this classification is too simplistic and provides many examples illustrating that certain cytokines can behave as both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. It is true, the amount of cytokines, the nature of the target cells, the nature of the activation signal, the nature of the cytokines produced, the timing, the order of action of the cytokines and even the experimental model are parameters that greatly influence the properties of the cytokines.

Abstract

Attendance is a very important function for the employee payroll process. Calculating attendance according to the number of working days means that the listing of attendance and subsequent filing must be controlled. The Central Depot of Supplies and Transport of the Army or GUPSBEKANGAD is the central bank institution of the Indonesian armed forces headquarters, whose main mission is to provide combat logistics services and military transportation. GUPSBEKANGAD's personnel handling system is still manual, namely using attendance books and signatures. This of course affects the efficiency of data collection, data recovery and calculation of time-consuming attendance reports, so the risk of errors that lead to the loss of attendance data is getting higher. Thus, there is a requirement for an application capable of capturing attendance data and overseeing attendance reports. This research will use a prototype development methodology. It is hoped that this Army Personnel Attendance Web Application will provide convenience in the attendance process, data collection, and attendance tracking, and reduce the risk of loss and errors in listing attendance data at GPUSBEKANGAD.

Abstract

The increasingly advanced development of information technology can be utilized in almost every aspect of life. It is hoped that the very rapid progress of information technology can support the tasks of an organization so that the activities carried out can be well coordinated. This also had an impact on the church to introduce a web-based church information system to the church congregation. As the first indication that an information system can be built at the Huria Kristen Batak Protestant Church (HKBP) Cendana Nauli Resort Tanjung Morawa City, this information system will be used to facilitate the collection of congregation data and church information. Based on the problems above, an information system was built that can assist in web-based data collection on church congregations. Where the website can be accessed anywhere and at any time so it does not specify time and place limits. The information system that has been built uses the PHP language. This website also provides congregation services to view worship schedules, church profiles, and photo galleries of church activities, which can be accessed easily. . By building this information system, it can help the congregation and leaders of the HKBP Cendana Nauli Resort Tanjung Morawa City parhalado more easily, quickly and efficiently in accessing church congregation data collection information and church information.

Abstract

Evidence-based practice (EBP) in midwifery care is an approach that focuses on using the best scientific evidence for decision making in midwifery practice. It is hoped that the implementation of EBP can improve the quality of midwifery care and improve the health outcomes of mothers and babies. The aim of this research is to explore midwives' perceptions about the implementation of EBP-based midwifery care in Indonesia. Methods This research uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 midwives who work in various practice settings in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The research results showed that midwives' perceptions regarding the implementation of EBP-based midwifery care varied. Some midwives demonstrated a good understanding of EBP and its benefits in midwifery practice. However, some midwives still have obstacles in implementing EBP, such as lack of access to sources of scientific evidence, time constraints, and a practice culture that does not support EBP. It can be concluded that midwives' perceptions regarding the implementation of EBP-based midwifery care still vary. Efforts are needed to increase midwives' knowledge and skills about EBP, as well as provide easy access to sources of scientific evidence and create a culture of practice that supports EBP.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women is still a public health problem in Indonesia. One effort to prevent anemia is by administering Fe tablets. However, compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets is still low. It is hoped that educational intervention can increase the compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets. This research aims to determine the effect of educational intervention on the compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets. This research design is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. The sample for this study was 60 pregnant women who were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group (30 people) and the control group (30 people). The intervention group was given education about the benefits of Fe tablets, the correct way to consume them, and side effects. The control group was not given education. Data were analyzed using the t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group in terms of adherence to consuming Fe tablets (p-value = 0.001). In the intervention group, the proportion of pregnant women who adhered to taking Fe tablets increased from 20% to 80% after the educational intervention. In the control group, the proportion of pregnant women who adhered to taking Fe tablets did not change (from 20% to 20%). In conclusion, educational interventions can increase the compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets.

Abstract

Medan, as the capital of North Sumatra, is experiencing rapid growth which increases demand for transportation infrastructure. This condition causes various problems, such as difficulties in spatial planning and transportation problems on main roads. Therefore, research was conducted to evaluate the volume, characteristics and performance of traffic on Jalan Jamin Ginting Km.12, Lau Cih Village to Jalan Jamin Ginting Km. 21 Namoriam Pancur Batu Village. Data collection methods involve direct surveys, including traffic volume, speed, and road capacity. From the survey results, it is clear that during the morning peak hours the traffic volume from the direction of Pancur - Lau Cih is greater than the opposite, in contrast to the non-peak hours of the afternoon and evening peak hours, it is known that the traffic volume from the direction of Pancur - Lau Cih is greater than that from Lau Tch - Pancur and the condition of the 4/2 D road with a capacity value of 5,474 pcu/hour can still accommodate traffic flow in the next 10 years. For peak hours (morning and afternoon) because the DS value is very close to service level category A, namely 0.07 at morning peak hours, and 0.14 at afternoon peak hours so that the road service level is included in category A (DS<0.54) for morning and evening peak hours, category A (DS<0.35) for afternoon non-peak hours. Jalan Jamin Ginting is still able to serve vehicle volumes as evidenced by the results of calculating the degree of saturation, namely 0.633 < 0.75, which is a requirement for the maximum road performance limit. Even though the road is still able to accommodate the volume of vehicles, other problems such as the Pancur Batu market also affect the road's performance.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the comparison of financial performance between BPD DIY and Bank BJB (formerly: BPD Jabar) in the 2019-2022 period. This study used quantitative methods. Quantitative methods are applied to analyze financial ratios where data are presented in numerical form. From the results of the ROA calculation, it is known that BPD DIY banks operate much more efficiently than BPD BJB bank’s because the ROA value obtained is greater so that the bank's ability to generate profits is better. From the LDR calculation, it is known that BJB BPD bank has sufficient liquidity but may have lower income, while DIY BPD does not have enough liquidity to cover customer obligation. From the results of the CAR calculation, it can be seen that both banks have good financial system stability against possible risk of loss, with a minimum guarantee limit of 8%. This research is expected to be a reference for consideration to analyze the comparison of BPD DIY and Bank BJB and other banks in the future.
