Perancangan Aplikasi Sistem Informasi Geotrack Administrasi Surat Berbasis Website

This research was conducted to find out how the management process that covers sending sample letters and follow-up letter dispositions at PT Aneka Tambang Tbk's work unit, Geomin Unit to improve the effectiveness of inter-work unit coordination. This research is also motivated by the problem of an ineffective system that monitors the progress of sample analysis. Because in its development, coordination between the laboratory and the team is carried out not computerized. Coordination is not computerized by contacting the relevant parties via private chat, telephone or email. In designing this application using the Waterfall method. The programming languages are HTML and PHP. For Framework using Bootstrap, and for the database using MySQL. Supporting applications used are XAMPP, Sublime Text, and PhpMyAdmin. The final result of this research is a website-based monitoring and tracking application for mail management. It can be concluded that the design of this application provides many benefits in the process of managing letter data, especially in PT Aneka Tambang Tbk, Geomin Unit.

The Implementation of Singkawang City Tourism Political Policy in Facing the Impact of Covid-19

Before the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, Indonesia's tourism development had a strategic meaning when viewed from multiple aspects. However, in March 2020, the condition has now turned around. Tourism is one of the hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, including tourism in Singkawang City, Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Singkawang City's tourism political policy in dealing with the impact of Covid-19. The type of research used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The researcher collected primary and secondary data through interviews and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out in systematic stages, starting from presenting the data that had been collected, summarizing, and making conclusions. The researcher found that the tourism policy of Singkawang City in dealing with the impact of Covid-19 was implemented through the Regional Representative Council on the new normal economy; refocusing budget reallocation; the implementation of leading tourism events according to health protocols; implementation of cross-unit coordination and application of managerial interpretation; and operations utilizing information technology, digital platforms, and online applications.

Coordinated prefrontal state transition leads extinction of reward-seeking behaviors

ABSTRACTExtinction learning suppresses conditioned reward responses and is thus fundamental to adapt to changing environmental demands and to control excessive reward seeking. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) monitors and controls conditioned reward responses. Using in vivo multiple single-unit recordings of mPFC we studied the relationship between single-unit and population dynamics during different phases of an operant conditioning task. To examine the fine temporal relation between neural activity and behavior, we developed a model-based statistical analysis that captured behavioral idiosyncrasies. We found that single-unit responses to conditioned stimuli changed throughout the course of a session even under stable experimental conditions and consistent behavior. However, when behavioral responses to task contingencies had to be updated during the extinction phase, unit-specific modulations became coordinated across the whole population, pushing the network into a new stable attractor state. These results show that extinction learning is not associated with suppressed mPFC responses to conditioned stimuli, but is driven by single-unit coordination into population-wide transitions of the animal’s internal state.

Occupational stressors among nurses working in urgent and emergency care units

The study aimed to assess occupational stressors among nurses working in urgent and emergency care facilities. It is a descriptive research developed in two public hospitals of different complexity degrees, with 49 nurses. Data were collected from June to September 2011. The Bianchi's Stress Scale, which is composed of six domains: Relationship, Unit functioning, Staff management, Nursing care, Unit coordination, and Work conditions was used to assess occupational stressors based on the regular activities performed by nurses. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney-U test. For the nurses working in the high complexity healthcare facility - hospital A the most stressful domain was Nursing care, while for those professionals working in the medium complexity healthcare facility - hospital B, Staff management was the most stressful domain. The nurses from hospital A perceived care-related activities as more stressful, while for those in hospital B administrative activities were considered more stressful.
