Automated Data Analysis (ADA) is a powerful, flexible analysis tool for systematically building performance determinants. ADA is designed to assist analysts in assessing the linkage from system processes to outcomes. It allows for or accounts for the varying conditions during performances and permits formation of complex analyses which extract relevant information from multiple variables while ignoring irrelevant data from the data base. In particular, ADA permits: 1. Focus on selected portions of the performance space, 2. Characterization of the system processes and examination of the relationship between system processes and outcomes, 3. Building analysis variables which can be made simple or as complex as necessary as knowledge of the importance of system processes to outcomes is obtained, and 4. Use of powerful prestructured analysis tools.

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to be able to determine the effect of world oil prices on economic growth in Indonesia by applying the exchange rate moderating variable and the BI rate as a connecting variable. Descriptive and associative research is a type of research that is used with data collection techniques through a trusted official agency website that is classified in the quarterly time series secondary data. The data year in this study was from 2006 to 2018. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive and inductive analysis with a Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) data analysis tool accompanied by a classic assumption test and a t test. Estimation results show that there are two research results; firstly, that the exchange rate has an effect on moderating the relationship between world oil prices and economic growth in Indonesia, secondly, that the BI rate has no influence connecting world oil prices and economic growth in Indonesia. Keywords: World oil prices, economic growth, exchange rates, BI rate, Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).

The goal of this study was to assess the perceptions and behaviors of nurses who provide triage with risk assessment to low complexity non-referred patients. The participants of the study were nurses who were performing patients’ triage with risk assessment, and the sample consisted of thirteen participants. The instruments used for the interviews were semi-structured questionnaires related to the characterization of the topic under study. Content analysis, i.e., the method proposed by Bardin, was used for data analysis. For data organization, we used MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2018, a software program that favored the identification between the similarities of the elements and ideas, thus making it possible to reach the cores of meanings. The identified categories were: (a) understanding about the healthcare provided by the emergency/urgency care Network; (b) evaluation of patient triage with risk classification; and (c) difficulties/challenges observed at the institution when providing user assessment with risk classification. It is concluded that nurses’ perceptions regarding the topic under study were linked to the disarticulation of the healthcare Network, the fragility of the relationship between physicians and nurses, and the lack of use of institutional protocols.

Remote sensing and GIS based results from the geometric characterization of braid bar deposits in the Niger Delta are presented in this work. In this study the geometry of 67- braid bar deposits from Landsat images of 1985 and 2015 were documented and compared to determine the relationship that exist between geometric dimensions and the amount of change that has occurred on them. The braid bars identified in this work are all associated with fluvial environment in the Niger Delta. Braid bars in 1985 are observed to be greater in length, width and area than those in 2015. R² values (0.6) indicate that a significant relationship exists between braid bar length and width. R² values also indicate a significant relationship exists between both length and area (0.7) and width and area (0.8) of the braid bars values within the study area. Thus, the utilization of width to predict the length and vice versa of braid bars is reasonable. Hence data from this study provides relevant information on size ranges that can be utilized for the efficient characterization, modelling and development of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between budget participation on job satisfaction and employee performance. This study also to find empirical evidence related to Job relevant information (JRI) as an intervening variable on the relationship between budget participation with job satisfaction and employee performance. The data was collected through questionnaires distributed to the superintendent and manager-level employees at PT. Jaya Readymix. The Respondents in this study are the superintendent and manager-level employees of PT. Jaya Readymix totaling 65 people. Data analysis in this study is a linear regression model. The results showed that (1) budget participation has positive significant effect on job satisfaction and employee performance, (2) job relevant information (JRI) was mediated on the relationship between budget participation and job satisfaction, but not for employee performance.

Mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics has gone through some incredible developments over the last few years. Technological advances in glycopeptide enrichment, fragmentation methods, and data analysis workflows have enabled the transition of glycoproteomics from a niche application, mainly focused on the characterization of isolated glycoproteins, to a mature technology capable of profiling thousands of intact glycopeptides at once. In addition to numerous biological discoveries catalyzed by the technology, we are also observing an increase in studies focusing on global protein glycosylation and the relationship between multiple glycosylation sites on the same protein. It has become apparent that just describing protein glycosylation in terms of micro- and macro-heterogeneity, respectively the variation and occupancy of glycans at a given site, is not sufficient to describe the observed interactions between sites. In this perspective we propose a new term, meta-heterogeneity, to describe a higher level of glycan regulation: the variation in glycosylation across multiple sites of a given protein. We provide literature examples of extensive meta-heterogeneity on relevant proteins such as antibodies, erythropoietin, myeloperoxidase and a number of serum and plasma proteins. Furthermore, we postulate on the possible biological reasons and causes behind the intriguing meta-heterogeneity observed in glycoproteins.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.
