This study evaluated the mechanical strength correlated to the percentage of the total volume of weld and porosities of Co-Cr alloy joints welded with TIG technique. Thirty specimens were perpendicularly sectioned to the long-axis and rejoined by using X30-shaped joint design with TIG welding. They were divided into 3 groups (n=10): the CG1 with a 60-A depth and 90-ms pulse; the CG2 with a 60-A depth and 120-ms pulse and the CG3 with a 60-A depth and 160-ms pulse. The specimens were submitted to nondestructive tests: radiographic inspection, penetrant liquid and Micro- CT (to calculate the percentage of the total volume of welding and the porosities) and then tested with 3-point bending. The fracture surfaces were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The data were statistically analyzed with 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey post hoc test for all the variables which were analyzed: flexural strength, total volume of weld and porosities. Pearson correlation test was also applied (ɑ=.05). The 1-way ANOVA showed that the factors machine parameters were not significant for flexural strength values (P=.231), the total volume of weld (P=.057) and porosities (P=.057). There are no significant relationships between any pair of variables after Pearson correlation test (P >.050). This, suggesting that the three machine regulation can be an option for joining prefabricated Co-Cr rods in this kind of union.

It was researched on the application of Anoda Heel Effect (AHE) with a step wedge on the effect of Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR) on Computed Radiography (CR) has been carried out. This research was conducted on a 21 step wedge with two treatments, namely the application of AHE and without the application of AHE. This measurement is repeated three times on radiographs to obtain a total image of six images (without the application of AHE as many as three images and with the application of AHE as many as three images). The results of taking radiographs using AHE and without AHE were measured using the RadiAnt Dicom Viewer program. The SNR value on the step wedge image without the AHE application has an average of 26.89. The SNR value on the step wedge image using AHE is 60.54. The results of the correlation test (Pearson correlation test) on the SNR showed that there was a significant and very strong effect of the application of AHE on the step wedge on the SNR in CR (p-value <0.001 and the R-value ranging from 0.600 to 0.799).

The general objective of this work is to identify a set of electronic governance practices for the executive power of the Brazilian States and Federal District, to measure and relate them to the economic and social development of the respective States and Federal District. In order to achieve this objective, the authors first used bibliographic research to build the theoretical platform about electronic governance and controllership in public management and the identification of electronic governance practices; next, a measurement and monitoring index of the development of electronic governance – 2013 is proposed. The Pearson correlation test was performed in order to verify the correlation between electronic governance and economic and social development indexes – GDP AND GDP per capita – and HDI and Gini, respectively. Lastly, the 2009 electronic governance index was used for comparison purposes. By comparing the results of the correlation and the percentage of the implemented practices, it was then concluded that the States with the highest GDP, the highest HDI and the lowest Gini are those which have the highest number of implemented electronic governance practices.

Abstract: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are characterized by an acceleration of thrombopoiesis, an increase of platelet turnover, and a decrease of platelet survival time. These conditions affect the platelet count that manifest as an increase of the proportion of large and reactive platelets which are more thrombogenic. This study aimed to obtain the correlation between the platelet count and the platelet aggregation value in T2DM patients. This was an observational analytical study using the Pearson correlation test. Subjects were 30 T2DM outpatients at Endocrine-Metablolic Clinic of Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital Manado. Blood samples of all patients were examined for platelet count and platelet aggregation value. The results showed that most of the subjects were ≥50 tahun (86.7%). Mean thrombocyte count was within normal level. Platelet aggregation values of the ADP 10 µm showed hypoaggregation, meanwhile of the ADP 5 µm showed normoaggregation The Pearson correlation test showed that there was no significant correlation between the platelet count and the platelet aggregation value, either using 10µm ADP (P = 0.22) or using 5µm ADP (P = 0.08). Conclusion:Keywords: platelet count, platelet aggregation, T2DMThere was no significant correlation between the platelet count and the platelet aggregation values in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus at Endocrine-Metabolic Clinic of Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital Manado.   Abstrak: Pada pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DMT2) terjadi percepatan trombopoiesis, peningkatan pergantian trombosit, dan penurunan waktu hidup trombosit.

Rujukan pelayanan kesehatan merupakan salah satu upaya untuk penanganan kasus emergensi yang mengatur pelimpahan tugas dan tanggung jawab pelayanan kesehatan secara timbal balik, baik vertikal maupun horizontal. Memperkuat sistem rujukan merupakan salah satu cara dalam mempercepat penurunan angka kematian ibu. Upaya tersebut tidak terlepas dari penanganan kasus emergensi di fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan melalui peningkatan PONED di puskesmas dan PONEK di rumah sakit. Untuk mendukung pelayanan PONED dan PONEK dibutuhkan pembentukan sistem rujukan yang sesuai standar. Pelaksanaan Rujukan yang terorganisir harus dilakukan dengan syarat dan persiapan yang tepat untuk merujuk kasus kegawatdaruratan ibu dan bayi secara tepat dan cepat.  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis hubungan sumberdaya manusia, sarana prasarana, komunikasi PONED – PONEK, dan standar operasional prosedur dengan syarat dan persiapan rujukan puskesmas PONED.Desain penelitian observasional analitik kuantitatif dengan metode survei, pendekatan waktu cross sectional. Pengukuran data menggunakan pemodelan Rasch dengan mengubah data ordinal menjadi data interval dalam bentuk logit. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah Tim inti PONEDdari 18 Puskesmas PONED di  Wilayah Bagian Utara Provinsi Aceh. Sampel berjumlah 72 orang diambil secara total sampling. Variabel diukur menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis bivariabel menggunakan Pearson Correlation Test sedangkan untuk multivariabel menggunakan Multiple Linear Regression.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa syarat dan persiapan rujukan belum sesuai standar, umpan balik dari RS PONEK ke Puskesmas PONED sangat susah dilaksanakan, sumberdaya manusia tidak memenuhi kualifikasi standar minimal Puskesmas PONED dan belum terlatih, sarana prasarana rujukan yang tersedia untuk di ambulan belum cukup, komunikasi PONED–PONEK masih satu arah dan standar operasional prosedur belum lengkap, dan tidak diletakkan di tempat yang mudah dilihat petugas. Hasil analisis Multiple Linear Regression menunjukkan bahwa variabel yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan syarat dan persiapan rujukan adalah standar operasional prosedur (p<0,001). Simpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah pelaksanaan rujukan puskesmas PONED yang sesuai standar masih belum tercapai, belum semua sumberdaya manusia yang tersedia memenuhi kualifikasi Puskesmas PONED. Diharapkan dukungan dinas kesehatan akan berpengaruh pada kesiapan rujukan Puskesmas PONED yang berkualitas.
