Mobile tools are increasingly available to help individuals monitor their progress toward health behavior goals. Commonly known commercial products for health and fitness self-monitoring include wearable devices such as the Fitbit© and Nike + Pedometer© that work independently or in conjunction with mobile platforms (e.g., smartphones, media players) as well as web-based interfaces. These tools track and graph exercise behavior, provide motivational messages, offer health-related information, and allow users to share their accomplishments via social media. Approximately 2 million software programs or “apps” have been designed for mobile platforms (Pure Oxygen Mobile, 2013), many of which are health-related. The development of mobile health devices and applications is advancing so quickly that the Food and Drug Administration issued a Guidance statement with the purpose of defining mobile medical applications and describing a tailored approach to their regulation.

The purpose of this study wants to examine the effect of System Quality (SysQua) to Service Quality (ServQua), System Quality (SysQua) to Work Performance (WorkPef), and Service Quality (ServQua) to Work Performance (WorkPef). The object in this research is MYOB accounting software. The data gathers with quesionnaires in 2 types, physicals (paper) and online (using Google form).  From 315 questionnaires distributed consisted of 194 respondents through online, and 116 respondents through paper form. All the questionnaires are returned. The obtained data were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The result of data analysis showed that the System Quality (SysQua) have positive significant effect on the Service Quality (ServQua), Service Quality (ServQua) have positive significant effect on Work Performance (WorkPef), and System Quality (SysQua) have positive significant effect on Work Performance (WorkPef). The overall result indicates that MYOB have a good quality and related to user performance. Specifically, the user refers to basic user, which is university student.   Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh hubungan System Quality (SysQua) terhadap Service Quality (ServQua), System Quality (SysQua) terhadap Work Performance (WorkPef) dan Service Quality (ServQua) terhadap Work Performance (WorkPef). Objek pada penelitian ini yaitu software akuntansi MYOB. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Perolehan data dengan kuesioner terdiri dari 2 tipe yaitu fisik (kertas) dan online (menggunakan Google form). Dari 315 kuesioner yang tersebar terdiri dari 194 responden melalui online dan 116 responden melalui kertas. Semua kuesioner telah kembali. Pengelolahan data menggunakan Structural Equation Model. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa System Quality (SysQua) berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap Service Quality (ServQua), Service Quality (ServQua) berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap Work Performance (WorkPef), dan System Quality (SysQua) berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap Work Performance (WorkPef). Hasil keseluruhan menunjukkan bahwa MYOB memiliki kualitas yang baik dan terkait dengan kinerja pengguna. Secara khusus, pengguna mengacu kepada pengguna tingkat dasar, yang merupakan mahasiswa.

The development of e-commerce in Indonesia in the last five years has significantly increased the growth for logistics service companies. The Indonesian Logistics and Forwarders Association (ALFI) has predicted the growth potential of the logistics business in Indonesia to reach more than 30% by 2020. One of the efforts of logistics business companies to improve services in the logistics services business competition is to implement web service technology on mobile platforms, to easy access to services for customers. This research aims to build a web service with a RESTful approach. The REST architecture has limitations in the form of no authentication mechanism, so users can access and modify data. To improve its services, JSON Web Token (JWT) technology is needed in the authentication process and security of access rights. In terms of data storage and transmission security, a cryptographic algorithm is also needed to encrypt and maintain confidentiality in the database. RC4 algorithm is a cryptographic algorithm that is famous for its speed in the encoding process. RC4 encryption results are processed with the Base64 Algorithm so that encrypted messages can be stored in a database. The combination of the RC4 method with the Base64 method has strengthened aspects of database security. This research resulted in a prototype application that was built with a combination of web service methods, JWT and cryptographic techniques. The test results show that the web service application at the logistics service company that was created can run well with relatively fast access time, which is an average of 176 ms. With this access time, the process of managing data and information becomes more efficient because before making this application the process of handling a transaction takes up to 20 minutes.

OBJECTIVEIntraoperative neuromonitoring of the chemical senses (smell and taste) has never been performed. The objective of this study was to determine if olfactory-evoked potentials could be obtained intraoperatively under general anesthesia.METHODSA standard olfactometer was used in the surgical theater with hydrogen sulfide (4 ppm, 200 msec). Olfactory-evoked potentials were recorded in 8 patients who underwent neurosurgery for resection of cerebral lesions. These patients underwent routine target-controlled propofol and sufentanil general anesthesia. Frontal, temporal, and parietal scalp subdermal electrodes were recorded ipsilaterally and contralaterally at the site of the surgery. Evoked potentials were computed if at least 70 epochs (0.5–100 Hz) satisfying the artifact rejection criterion (threshold 45 μV) could be extracted from signals of electrodes.RESULTSContributive recordings were obtained for 5 of 8 patients (3 patients had fewer than 70 epochs with an amplitude < 45 μV). Olfactory-evoked potentials showed N1 responses (mean 442.8 ± 40.0 msec), most readily observed in the patient who underwent midline anterior fossa neurosurgery. No component of later latencies could be recorded consistently.CONCLUSIONSThe study confirms that olfactory-evoked potentials can be measured in response to olfactory stimuli under general anesthesia. This demonstrates the feasibility of recording olfactory function intraoperatively and opens the potential for neuromonitoring of olfactory function during neurosurgery.
