OPTIMALISASI BIAYA TRANSPORTASI MENGGUNAKAN METODE STEPPING STONE (SS) DAN MODIFIED DISTRIBUTION (MODI) (Studi Kasus: Perum BULOG Kanwil Bengkulu)
No full textBiaya transportasi merupakan salah satu komponen biaya terbesar dalam rantai
pasok. Ketidakefisienan seperti rute pengiriman yang tidak maksimal atau
pemanfaatan armada yang tidak maksimal dapat menyebabkan lonjakan biaya,
harga jual produk meningkat, serta menurunnya kepuasan pelanggan. Sebagai salah
satu komponen terbesar maka diperlukan optimalisasi biaya transportasi. Salah satu
model yang dapat digunakan untuk optimalisasi biaya transporatsi adalah model
transportasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan biaya transportasi
pendistribusian beras komersial Perum BULOG Kanwil Bengkulu Tahun 2024.
Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode Vogel Approximation
Method (VAM) sebagai solusi awal dan solusi optimal menggunakan metode
Stepping Stone (SS) dan Modified Distribution (MODI). Hasil penerapan metode
SS dan MODI dalam mengoptimalkan biaya transportasi pendistribusian beras
komersial Perum BULOG Kanwil Bengkulu Tahun 2024 tidak menghasilkan
penghematan biaya yang siginifikan dari solusi awal yang didapatkan
menggunakan metode VAM. Biaya transportasi yang dihasilkan memberikan
penghematan sebesar 0,25% dari dari prediksi total biaya transportasi yang
dikeluarkan oleh Perum BULOG Kanwil Bengkulu selama Tahun 2024.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) with optisphere: A prospective study of a new, spherical, resorbable embolic agent
No full textINTRODUCTION: Optisphere (Teleflex, Wayne, PA, USA, currently distributed by Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) is a new, resorbable, calibrated spherical embolic agent. We aimed to evaluate its clinical safety and effectiveness for fibroid embolization through a prospective case series.METHOD: This prospective case series studied patients treated with fibroid embolization using Optisphere between July 2017 and June 2018. The primary outcomes were device-related adverse event assessments and MRI-determined percentage infarct of the dominant fibroid (DF %) and infarct of all fibroids (AF %) at 3 months post-embolization. Secondary outcomes included symptom improvement with the validated Uterine Fibroid Symptom Score and Quality of Life questionnaire (UFS-SS and UFS-QOL) at 3 months and 12 months post-embolization. Statistical analysis was through the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for nonparametric paired data.RESULTS: Twenty-three consecutive patients were treated with Optisphere (median age 44.0, uterine volume 484.0 ml, dominant fibroid volume 167.0 ml). The complete dominant fibroid infarction (DF %) rate was 91.3% (21/23 patients), and the complete all fibroid infarction rate (AF %) was 82.6% (19/23). No adverse device-related safety events were encountered. Significant improvement was demonstrated in 3-month UFS-SS (56 vs 19, p < 0.0001), UFS-QOL (40 vs 88, p = 0.0008), uterine volume (484 ml vs 246 ml, p < 0.0001) and dominant fibroid volume (167 vs 64 ml, p < 0.0001). Symptomatic improvement continued to 12 months (UFS-SS 56 vs 11, p = 0.0008, UFS-QOL 40 vs 98.7, p = 0.0008).CONCLUSION: Optisphere is an effective embolic agent for fibroid embolization with good symptomatic response and percentage fibroid infarct.</p

RIC-HSCT for MF/SS
No full textAdvanced-stage mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome (MF/SS) have a poor prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), particularly using a reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen, is a promising treatment for advanced-stage MF/SS. We performed RIC-HSCT in nine patients with advanced MF/SS. With a median follow-up period of 954days after HSCT, the estimated 3-year overall survival was 85.7% (95% confidence interval, 33.4-97.9%) with no non-relapse mortality. Five patients relapsed after RIC-HSCT; however, in four patients whose relapse was detected only from the skin, persistent complete response was achieved in one patient, and the disease was manageable in other three patients by the tapering of immunosuppressants and donor lymphocyte infusion, suggesting that graft-versus-lymphoma effect and "down-staging" effect from advanced stage to early stage by HSCT improve the prognosis of advanced-stage MF/SS. These results suggest that RIC-HSCT is an effective treatment for advanced MF/SS

That's 'é' not 'þ' '?' or '☐': a user-driven context-aware approach to erroneous metadata in digital libraries
No full textIn this paper we present a novel system for user-driven integration of name variants when interacting with web-based information systems. The growth and diversity of online information means that many users experience disambiguation and collocation errors in their information searching. We approach these issues via a client-side JavaScript browser extension that can reorganise web content and also integrate remote data sources. The system is illustrated through three worked examples using existing digital libraries
SS-Sonderkommando Bełżec. Portret zbiorowy
No full textSS-SONDERKOMMANDO BELZEC. A COLLECTIVE PORTRAIT The subject-matter of this paper’s analysis revolves around the members of SS and German police who, during the 1941–1943 period, belonged to SS-Sonderkommando Belzec or Dienstelle Belzec der Waffen SS — as the extermination camp in Belzec was officially known. It was the first center of “Action Reinhardt,” implemented in the General Government and in Białystok District, in which around four hundred fifty thousand Jews were murdered by the Nazis. In writing of this article its author used documents from German and Polish archives, scholarly and popular literature on the subject and memories. These sources served as a foundation on the basis of which the attempt to create a collective portrait of perpetrators was undertaken. The author of the article, as it is accepted in historiography, based his conclusions on thirty seven members of SS-Sonderkommando Belzec who were at least temporarily employed in the camp — during its building, its operation, the extermination or the erasing of traces. The article analyzes the age of the members of Belzec camp’s personnel, their nationality and birthplace, education, participation in National Socialist organizations, engagement in “T4” action and — in the widest possible terms — participation in the Holocaust. The article describes the process of selection to the SS crew, the principles governing the assignation of functions and duties in the camp, the exchange of members between different centers of “Action Reinhardt,” their future fate and the question of their postwar legal punishment. More attention is paid to two commandants, i.e. Christian Wirth and Gottlieb Hering. The article indicates the similarities and differences between them, their impact on the camp’s operation and their influence over other members of SS-Sonderkommando Belzec.SS-SONDERKOMMANDO BELZEC.
