NUCLEUS

A Case Report

Fransisca Xaveria Hargiani — 2023-11-15

Frozen shoulder is a very common condition in clinical practice, affecting 2–5% of the general population. Frozen shoulder (FS) rarely occurs before age 40 and typically affects ages 50 to 70. Women are more commonly affected than men. Frozen shoulder is classified into primary and secondary, where primary frozen shoulder is due to the presence of attachments around the joint capsule and secondary frozen shoulder is due to sprains, strains, tendinopathy, tendon tear or bursitis. This study, conducted at Mutiara Sukma Mental Hospital NTB in September-October 2022, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions on a 64-year-old patient with frozen shoulder, mental disorders, and diabetes, using a case study approach. Interventions included Infrared therapy and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for pain reduction and muscle relaxation, as well as Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) for enhanced lymphatic drainage and pain relief. Assisted active movements and free active movements were also applied to maintain and improve joint range of motion and muscle strength. The results showed significant improvements in pain reduction and increased range of motion and shoulder function, with pain evaluation using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) indicating positive progress during therapy sessions. This underscores the benefits of combined physiotherapy interventions in treating frozen shoulder, especially in patients with comorbid mental disorders.

Raw Material Storage Business Process Analysis at Material Control Division

Ridzky Kramanandita — 2023-11-15

The process of storing raw materials in companies is still carried out conventionally, namely by record it using paper forms containing details of raw materials, the amount of incoming raw materials and outgoing raw materials. The next process is to recapitulate the data by typing it into the Microsoft Excel application. As a result, raw material stock calculations are not real time and the results of raw material stock data processing are less accurate. To find out in detail the existing problems, a business process analysis is needed which is outlined in the picture. The method used is field observation, while the tools used are BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation). The result of this research is a model that describes business processes with standard notation that is easy to understand. With this model, it will be able to display the availability of raw materials, both incoming raw materials and outgoing raw materials, as well as overall raw material availability reports. The reports could be used by other related departments such as the Planning and Purchasing Division, thereby increasing efficiency in recapitulating raw material data and minimizing data errors regarding the availability of raw materials.

Differences in Average Student Learning Outcomes in Calculus II Learning Between Offline and Online Classes

Suryani — 2024-02-22

Calculus II is a course that demands a high level of understanding and analysis and is an essential foundation in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Online learning involves the use of computer and internet technology to deliver course material, interact with instructors, and communicate with fellow students. Meanwhile, offline learning involves direct interaction between students and lecturers in a place such as a classroom or lecture hall. The aim of this research is to determine whether there is a difference in the average student scores for offline and online learning in the Calculus II course in the Information Technology Study Program at a private university in Jakarta. This research analyzes descriptive statistical challenges, normality tests, and t hypothesis tests on the average scores of offline and online students. From the calculation results that have been obtained for descriptive statistics, the number of offline students is 45, while the number of online students is 30. The average score for offline students is 66,671, while the average score for online students is 72,248. The standard deviation for offline classes is 5.832, while for online students it is 12.041. The average score for online classes is greater than that for offline classes. But online classes have a larger standard deviation than offline classes. For the normality test, the significance value for the offline class was 0.146 and for the online class it was 0.200, so the data distribution for the average value of offline and online classes is normally distributed. From the results of the t test, it was found that the significance value was 0.00. So, there is a difference in the average student scores for offline and online courses.

The Meaning of News Value in Content Creation with the Snack Video Platform Source

Denny Setiawan Batubara — 2023-11-15

The issue of news value is a big concern in the distribution of news content on social media platforms. One social media platform that encourages content creators to create news content is the Snack Video platform. The management of the Snack Video platform enforces strict rules that all users must comply with to ensure that all content created by content creators has news value. This qualitative research aims to identify the interpretation of this news value rule using Shannon and Weaver's message transmission model. This research uses literature as a data collection technique while applying phenomenological methods to explain how audio-visual content is used to disseminate information through social media. Research findings identify that the use of regulations conveyed through message transmission has been proven to improve the quality of news content on Snack Video through the content creators' understanding of the rules set by Snack Video management. Snack Video management was also found to have made several special requirements for each news content which would be checked manually by the agency team using quality parameters that had been set in detail.

Redesign of the Layout of Aluminum Profile Production Facilities using the BLOCPLAN Algorithm Method and the CORELAP Algorithm at PT XYZ

Zimartani Zimartani — 2023-11-15

PT XYZ is a private company engaged in the processing of aluminum metal which produces various types of aluminum profiles according to the needs or orders of customers located in North Bekasi. The position of the office with an extrusion load area of ??880 tons is in the same area, often causing noise from machines that interferes with the performance of office workers. Another reason is the placement of good facilities will support operator comfort, increase operator performance, and facilitate supervision so that the resulting product will be better in terms of quality. Production facility placements are less efficient because they have an initial layout efficiency value of 79% with an OMH (Material Handling Cost) value of Rp 41,701. Then the proposed layout was improved using the BLOCPLAN Algorithm and the CORELAP Algorithm. The results of the research using the BLOCPLAN Algorithm method obtained an efficiency value of 88% and an OMH value of Rp 21,205. While the results of research using the CORELAP Algorithm obtained an efficiency value of 86% with an OMH value of Rp 22,236. The alternative layout chosen is a layout that is processed using the BLOCPLAN Algorithm method because it produces an efficiency value of 88% and an OMH value of Rp 21,205.

Nuur Afifah Ishmah — 2024-01-29

The postpartum period is a critical time and predisposes women to experience anxiety, as they undergo a role transition into motherhood. If anxiety is left unaddressed, it can lead to postpartum depression and negatively impact cognitive, behavioral, and neurophysiological outcomes for the child. The purpose of this research is to assess the levels of anxiety among spontaneous postpartum mothers at the Ibrahim Adji Community Health Center in Bandung city. This study employs a descriptive method with a cross-sectional research design, involving a sample of 36 spontaneous postpartum mothers. The instrument used is the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (PSAS). The research findings indicate that the majority of postpartum mothers experience mild anxiety at 41.6%, moderate anxiety at 25%, severe anxiety at 16.7%, and 16.7% of postpartum mothers have no anxiety. The conclusion of this study suggests that postpartum mothers tend to experience mild anxiety. It is hoped that healthcare professionals, especially midwives, can provide counseling and psychological support as these are crucial aspects during the postpartum period.
