PERBANDINGAN METODE PEMERIKSAAN DIAGNOSIS LABORATORIUM PROTOZOA USUS
No full textInfeksi protozoa masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan di Indonesia, terutama Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium sp dan Cyclospora cayetanensis. Diperlukan pemeriksaan laboratorium yang tepat untuk mendiagnosis infeksi protozoa pada usus. Pemeriksaan mikroskop konvensional dan melalui pewarnaan merupakan metode paling umum dilakukan di laboratorium. Metode lainya adalah pemeriksaan serologi dan molekular. Masing-masing memiliki keuntungan dan keterbatasan dalam pelaksanaannya. Dalam tulisan ini akan disampaikan perbandingan beberapa metode untuk mendiagnosis infeksi masing-masing agen protozoa tersebut sebagai pertimbangan saat pemeriksaan laboratorium untuk mendiagnosis infeksi protozoa usus.
Identification and Resistance Testing of Bacteria Causing Nosocomial Infections in Surgery Inpatient Rooms
Full text linkBackground: Nosocomial infections are the most common infections that occur when patients are under medical care in hospitals. The most common pathogenic bacteria that cause nosocomial infections are Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp, and Klebsiella pneumonia. One of the factors causing a nosocomial infection is the environment. The spread of nosocomial infections in dr. Doris Sylvanus can occur in the surgical ward environment. Therefore, it is necessary to study and know the identification of bacteria and knowing the pattern of antibiotic resistance of bacteria that cause nosocomial infections in the surgical inpatient ward of dr. Doris Sylvanus Hospital. Methods: This type of research used an observational method with a descriptive approach. The research at dr Doris Sylvanus Hospital. The population is dahlia room which consisted of floors, sheets, patient beds, tables, and door handles. Results: Bacterial identification was Staphylococcus aureus at 13.4% and Staphylococcus non-coagulase at 10%, also found Gram-negative bacteria suspected Salmonella sp. 3.3% and other bacteria at 73.3% The results of the Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic resistance test on S. aureus bacteria had a sensitivity of 50% and Oxacillin had a sensitivity of 75%, while the Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance test results on S. non-coagulase bacteria had a sensitivity of 66.7% and Oxacillin had a sensitivity of 100%. Conclusion: The Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic resistance test on S. aureus bacteria has moderate sensitivity and the Oxacillin antibiotic has a fairly high sensitivity while on S. non-coagulase bacteria have a fairly high sensitivity and oxacillin antibiotics have high sensitivity
Pengunaan Bilik Swab Pencegah Risiko Penularan Penyakit Infeksius di RS TNI AD Palangka Raya
Full text linkWHO merekomendasikan pengambilan spesimen untuk diagnosis COVID-19 pada dua lokasi, yaitu dari saluran napas atas (swab nasofaring atau orofaring) atau saluran napas bawah [sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, atau aspirat endotrakeal]. Tenaga medis harus memperhatikan keselamatan kerja dengan menggunakan APD (alat pelindung diri) yang tepat karena adanya kontak langsung dengan pasien terduga COVID-19 ketika mengambil sampel yang berisiko tinggi terinfeksi. Kasus COVID-19 di Indonesia meningkat setiap hari dan harga APD melambung tinggi dan terjadi kelangkaan. Mencermati kejadian tersebut maka sebagai wujud implementasi Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, dosen UPR mengambil peran aktif dalam pengabdian masyarakat melalui program dosen pendukung SDM unggul untuk memberikan bilik swab dalam melindungi tenaga medis dari penyebaran infeksi secara langsung. Target dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah RS TNI-AD Palangka Raya. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode serah-terima alat dan demonstrasi pemakaian sebagai solusi kepada mitra yaitu RS TNI-AD Palangka Raya. Kesimpulan dari program pengabdian ini dengan adanya pemanfaatan bilik swab di RS dapat meminimalisir paparan penyebaran infeksi secara langsung ke tenaga medis serta sebagai alternatif saat krisis kelangkaan APD level
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
