Effectiveness of self care intervention electronic based for improving quality of life and health outcomes in patients with heart failure: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Get PDFBackground: Heart failure is a chronic disease with the highest readmission duration. Increased health costs due to heart failure also continues to increase every year. The inability to take care of selfcare and non-adherence to treatment programs are the causes of high readmissions. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of electronic-based self-care on engagement, adherence, readmission, and quality of life and also aims to identify types of self-care intervention and electronic methods or applications used in self-care. Methods: The research method is a systematic review of RCT (randomize control trial) research through systematic searches in 6 English-language databases, which were published from 2019 to 2023. Of the 134 journals identified self-care, engagement, adherence, quality of life and readmission , There are 114 articles were eliminated because they did not match the title, and of the 20 articles whose abstract results were identified as appropriate, there were 8 research references that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, where the articles contained self-care electronic methods that were relevant to the variables in this systematic review. Data sources were taken from six data bases, namely PMC, Pubmed, Scopus, Proquest, ScienceDirect and ResearhGate. Results: The results show that the self-care intervention model electronic based has increased patient engagement (p<0.05), increasing adherence (p < 0.03), improved the quality of life of patients (p<0.05) and reduced readmissions (p<0.03) in heart failure patients. Conclusions: the conclusion is that electronic-based self-care can improve patient engagement, adherence with treatment programs, quality of life and reduce readmissions in heart failure patients
The Level of Influence of the Relationship Between Six Non-Formal Factors and Six IAM Subject Groups in the Implementation of Asset Management in PT PLN Group
Get PDFIntroduction: Many companies, including PT PLN Group, use asset management to help manage their assets to achieve stable, effective, and efficient company performance. In the concept model introduced by IAM, companies are introduced to six subject groups that are important factors in asset management (AM) implementationMethods: This study used the PLS-SEM test to measure the level of influence and relationship of six non-formal factors and six groups of IAM subjects with the implementation of AM.Results: The results obtained were that six non-formal factors significantly impacted the six groups of IAM subjects. Six non-formal factors and six IAM subject groups were proven to influence the implementation of AM significantly and positively. The acceptance of this hypothesis is supported by several field practices that PT PLN Group has carried out to support the success of AM.Conclusions: The analysis results show that the transfer of knowledge and competence of human resources in 6 non-formal factors significantly influence the implementation of AM in PT PLN Group. Organizational culture and life cycle delivery factors of the Company in six IAM subject groups have the most dominant influence on the success of AM in PT PLN Group. The optimal implementation of AM at PT PLN Group can increase the nation\u27s competitiveness by providing comprehensive and equitable electrical energy to the people of Indonesia

Optimization of Fault Prediction by A.I. in Industrial Equipment: analysis of the operating parameters of a Bench Grinder
Get PDFPredictive Maintenance (PM) plays a crucial role in maximizing efficiency and reducing costs associated with equipment and system maintenance in industrial companies. Recent advancements in Machine Learning (ML) have revolutionized PM by offering accurate and efficient fault prediction and maintenance planning capabilities. This research focuses on monitoring a bench grinder and observing sensors for temperature, current, angular velocity, and vibration under normal operating conditions. The objective is to predict failures based on specific variables related to the machine. To develop the system, a prototype bench was designed to subject the machine to several working scenarios, collecting real-time sensor data. Data clusters were generated for each sensor, collecting 3000 samples over 7 consecutive days without faults and another 7 days with modified bench grinder behavior. Sampling was done at a rate of 1 second. The performance of Decision Trees (DT), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), and K-Means + Neural Network (NN) algorithms was compared using the confusion matrix metrics. Each algorithm\u27s performance was evaluated for RPM, current, temperature, and vibrations measures. The SVM algorithm showed the highest error for RPM with 43.5%. In contrast, all algorithms achieved minimal or zero errors for vibrations, indicating excellent performance. These findings demonstrate the potential of ML algorithms in PM for the bench grinder. The results highlight the importance of selecting appropriate algorithms for specific measurements, with vibrations exhibiting the least error across all algorithms and contributes to optimize maintenance activities in industrial settings.
Investigating socioscientific decision-making of high school biology students based on gender and area coverage
Get PDFIntroduction: Socioscientific decision-making involves the process of analysing complex problems, seeking relevant information, building arguments, applying critical thinking skills, and integrating diverse perspectives to arrive at a Solution. This study aims to explore the extent to which gender and geographical location affect students\u27 socioscientific reasoning.Research method: it uses a quantitative research approach with a quantitative ex-post facto design. The research population consisted of all tenth-grade students in West Kalimantan Province. The sample for the study consisted of 912 students selected from public and private high schools. in Pontianak Municipality, Teluk Keramat District, and Paloh District, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Participants were recruited using purposive random sampling. Students are then categorized based on gender and regional coverage. Gender criteria are visualized in men and women, while the criteria for regional coverage are urban (Municipal) and rural (District).The results of the study showed that male students significantly outperformed female students in socioscientific decision-making. This difference is evident in the quality of the arguments and explanations provided by male students in their essay responses, demonstrating a deeper understanding of the issue. Conclusion: that there is a gap in socioscientific decision-making ability between students in urban and rural areas. The study revealed that urban students tend to have stronger socioscientific decision-making skills compared to rural student
The Unseen Burden: Relationship Between Burnout and Gastrointestinal Symptoms among Healthcare Providers, Review Article
Get PDFIntroduction: Burnout, a syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, is highly prevalent among healthcare providers. Concurrently, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, and functional dyspepsia, are frequently reported in this population. Objective: This review article aims to synthesize the existing evidence on the relationship between burnout and GI symptoms among healthcare providers, which help to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being (Goal-3 in SDGs). Results: After a comprehensive search of recent articles, the findings suggest a significant bidirectional relationship between burnout and GI symptoms, with chronic stress and dysregulation of the gut-brain axis playing key roles. Interventions targeting stress reduction and organisational changes may mitigate both burnout and GI symptoms. Further research studies are needed to establish causality and evaluate the effectiveness of targeted interventions. Also, there is a need to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for healthcare providers to maintain wellbeing. Conclusions: The relationship between burnout and GI symptoms among healthcare providers is complex and bidirectional. Chronic stress associated with burnout can lead to the development or exacerbation of GI symptoms, while the presence of GI symptoms can contribute to burnout
