Microarrays are a powerful method for the global analysis of gene or protein content and expression, opening up new horizons in molecular and physiological systems. This review focuses on the critical aspects of acquiring meaningful data for analysis following fluorescence-based target hybridisation to arrays. Although microarray technology is adaptable to the analysis of a range of biomolecules (DNA, RNA, protein, carbohydrates and lipids), the scheme presented here is applicable primarily to customised DNA arrays fabricated using long oligomer or cDNA probes. Rather than provide a comprehensive review of microarray technology and analysis techniques, both of which are large and complex areas, the aim of this paper is to provide a restricted overview, highlighting salient features to provide initial guidance in terms of pitfalls in planning and executing array projects. We outline standard operating procedures, which help streamline the analysis of microarray data resulting from a diversity of array formats and biological systems. We hope that this overview will provide practical initial guidance for those embarking on microarray studies.

The purpose of this study was to determine the application of cash and credit sales administration at PT Sun Star Motor Malang in accordance with the existing Standard Operating Procedures. This type of research used in this study is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data analysis techniques by finding and finding data, eliminating or reducing data, processing data, analyzing data, making conclusions and suggestions. The result is that the application of cash sales administration procedures at PT Sun Star Motor Malang is sometimes not in accordance with existing procedures. This is due to the accumulation of tasks performed by sales because of the quite important role of sales for consumers. If it is related to internal control, sales should not be able to accept cash because every sales transaction related to receiving cash is held by the cashier. Every receipt of money, both cash and non-cash from the buyer, will be made proof of receipt, for example receipts

This research titled is “Empowerment of Rattan Industry Craftsmen After Disasters by Department of Trade and Industry in Palu City Central Sulawesi Province”. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the empowerment process, supporting factors and inhibiting factors faced, as well as efforts made by the Department of Trade and Industry to overcome obstacles in the empowerment of rattan industry crafters in the aftermath of a disaster. The research method used by the author in this study is descriptive qualitative.The data collection techniques are interviews, documens and observations. The data analysis techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The result of this research apprenticeship show that empowerment of crafters in managing the rattan industry after disaster has been carried out. But in the implementation, the empowerment process has not been carried out optimally. Because the mindset of craftsmen who are still using old mindset, the absence of Standard Operating Procedures regarding the rattan industry which results in an ineffective upstream and downstream system, Limited funds owned by the government in providing assistance and the independence of the craftsmen in producing raw materials supporting the rattan industry. After disaster, Department of Trade and Industry has made efforts to overcome obstacles with : make a Standard Operating Procedures dan rebuilding the upstream and downstream systems. In addition, Department of Trade and Industry has also allocated funds in accordance with needs and provides socialization in changing the mindset of rattan industry crafters and training to develop rattan industry businesses. The authors suggests to the city government that in the future in making a development and empowerment planning, the city government must fist make Standard Operating Procedures. As well as the process of the rehabilitation and reconstruction stages, the government must better understand its tasks and functions Keyword : Empowerment, Craftsmen, Rattan Industry, Disaster

Standard operating procedures or commonly called SOPs are important things that every company must have and must be a guide in carrying out work activities by all waiters and waiters at In Bloom Restaurant Hotel Ayaartta Malioboro Yogyakarta. This research uses a quantitative approach method, using data from questionnaires and uncovering problems in the form of numerical scores, which are then processed and tested by statistical analysis techniques in an effort to reveal the performance and effectiveness of SOP implementation in carrying out tasks at Bloom's Restaurant.

Abstract Background Although many studies emphasize the importance of using oxygen saturation (SpO2) targets in the NICUs, there is a wide variability in used saturation ranges among centers. Primary aim was to draw a representative picture on how the management of oxygen monitoring is performed in the Italian NICUs. Second aim was to identify healthcare-professionals related factors associated with oxygen targeting in the preterm population. Methods Cross-sectional study with data collection via an electronic survey form. A questionnaire containing pre-piloted and open questions on monitoring and management of the SpO2 was administered to neonatologists across the network of the Italian Society of Neonatology. The questions focused on: the infrastructure, specific training, healthcare professionals and patients-related factors. The results of the survey were anonymously collected, summarized and analyzed. Results Out of 378 questionnaires, 93 were correctly filled. Thirty-six different SpO2 ranges were observed. Centers using written standard operating procedures on oxygen management and SpO2 monitoring maintained a correct average range of SpO2 90–95%, avoided hyperoxia and reconsidered saturation targets in relation to comorbidities. 39.8% of responders disabled alarms during neonatal care. One center used biomarkers for complete monitoring of neonatal oxygenation status. Conclusions There is considerable variation in SpO2 targets for preterm infants in the Italian NICUs. Standard operating procedures and specific training for health care personnel are the main factors playing a role for the correct maintenance of the recommended oxygen targets in preterms.

AbstractObjective:To report the results of our preintervention investigation and subsequent 19-month three-phase intervention study designed to reduce pyrogenic reactions among patients undergoing cardiac catheterization using reprocessed catheters.Design:A case-control study for the preintervention period and a prospective cohort study for the intervention period.Setting:A 400-bed hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.Participants:Any patient undergoing cardiac catheterization in the hospital.Interventions:Three intervention phases were implemented to improve the quality of the water supplied to the cardiac catheter reprocessing laboratory. Standard operating procedures for reprocessing cardiac catheters were established and reprocessing staff were trained and educated.Results:The rate of pyrogenic reactions decreased significantly during the intervention phases, from 12.8% (159 of 1,239) in phase 1 to 5.3% (38 of 712) in phase 2 to 0.5% (4 of 769) in phase 3 (chi-square test for linear trend, 97.5;P< .001).Conclusion:Improving water quality and using standard operating procedures for reprocessing catheters can prevent pyrogenic reactions in hospitalized patients.
