Evaluation activity should basically clear and provide context for the improvement ofmanagement processes for the better future . This should be realized by every management withinthe company wherever located . Clarity measurement tools will help achieve the objectives of thecompany later . One of the measuring instruments are applied is BSC (Balance Score Card ).BSC Assist management to evaluate and help correct the exact performance of the company.At first , the BSC is used to improve executive performance measurement system. Early use of theexecutive's performance is measured only in terms of finances. Then developed into a morespacious with four perspectives, which are then used to measure the performance of theorganization as a whole . The four perspectives, namely financial, customer, internal businessprocesses and learning and growth .In the development of the BSC has helped many companies to successfully achieve its goals. BSChas several advantages that are not owned traditional systems management strategy. Theadvantages of the BSC approach in the strategic planning system is able to produce a strategicplan, which has the characteristics : a comprehensive, coherent, balanced and measured .Basin , is an area that needs attention . Governments and communities must work together toachieve clean rivers, healthy, and productive and provide sustainable benefits to the surroundingcommunity. If the indicators are assessed in the score card is identical to the indicators used inthe monitoring and evaluation of the basin, the score card is also a tool for monitoring andevaluation of the river basin

ABSTRACT Introduction: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, with a potential impact in the risk of acceleration of dementia. The potential association between glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cognitive performance was scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate cognitive performance levels across different degrees of kidney function. Methods: We analyzed 240 outpatients in a nephrology service, classified according to eGFR: Advanced (≤ 30ml/min/1.73m2), Moderate (30,1ml/min/1.73m2 to ≤ 60ml/min/1.73m2), and Mild CKD (> 60ml/min/1.73m2). Word list memory, Semantic fluency, Mental State Mini Exam and Trail Making Test (TMT) were applied to evaluate cognitive performance. In the TMT, lower scores are associated with better cognition. In linear regression, cognitive function was considered as dependent variables while groups based on eGFR were considered explanatory variables. The group with eGFR > 60ml/min was the reference and models were adjusted for confounding factors. Results: In our population (n = 240) 64 patients (26.7%) were classified as having advanced, 98(40,8%) moderate, and 78(32,5%) mild. There was no statistical difference among them in MMSE or in the verbal fluency test. However, comparing to mild, patients with advanced CKD presented significantly worse cognitive performance measured by TMTA [50,8s ± 31.1s versus 66,6s ± 35,7s (p = 0.016)] and TMTB [92,7s ± 46,2s versus 162,4s ± 35,7s (p < 0.001)]. Significantly lower TMTB scores (CI95%) 33,0s (4,5-61,6s) were observed in patients with mild compared to advanced CKD in the multivariate analysis adjusting for age, education, sex, diabetes, and alcohol use. Conclusion: Advanced CKD is independently associated with poorer cognitive performance measured by an executive performance test compared to mild CKD.

Adolescent Brain Development

The protracted development of structural and functional brain connectivity within distributed association networks coincides with improvements in higher-order cognitive processes such as executive function. However, it remains unclear how white-matter architecture develops during youth to directly support coordinated neural activity. Here, we characterize the development of structure–function coupling using diffusion-weighted imaging andn-back functional MRI data in a sample of 727 individuals (ages 8 to 23 y). We found that spatial variability in structure–function coupling aligned with cortical hierarchies of functional specialization and evolutionary expansion. Furthermore, hierarchy-dependent age effects on structure–function coupling localized to transmodal cortex in both cross-sectional data and a subset of participants with longitudinal data (n= 294). Moreover, structure–function coupling in rostrolateral prefrontal cortex was associated with executive performance and partially mediated age-related improvements in executive function. Together, these findings delineate a critical dimension of adolescent brain development, whereby the coupling between structural and functional connectivity remodels to support functional specialization and cognition.
