Since the pandemic, all countries have implemented Work From Home (WFH) policies, which are new policies that utilize the virtual world. As for the negative effects that can be given from WFH, such as the occurrence of Neck Pain. Neck Pain is pain in the cervical spine from the superior line of the first thoracic spinous nuchal process. Reported cases of neck pain in office workers as much as 15% to 34.4%. Source searches were carried out on the online portal of journal publications as many as 27 sources from Medscape, Google Scholar, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) with the keywords WFH and Neck Pain. Sitting in a chair or bed without a table while working on a computer or laptop can cause neck pain and the upper or lower back area. When fatigue occurs in the neck muscles, it can cause static muscle contractions that last a long time, if this condition occurs continuously there will be pain and discomfort in the neck muscle area which can eventually lead to disability. In this study, the author uses a qualitative method with a literature review research paradigm. Qualitative research methods are carried out in natural conditions and carried out on direct data sources. The purpose of the qualitative method is to gain an understanding of the meaning of the problem to be studied.

Introduction: Recent changes to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirements eliminated minimum standards for protected nonclinical time for core faculty. Faculty perform many nonclinical tasks to maintain family medicine residencies. The objective of this study is to describe the landscape of nonclinical time for family medicine residency faculty. Methods: Program directors at ACGME-accredited family medicine residencies were electronically surveyed in August 2019 to describe nonclinical time of their faculty. Survey information requested included program demographics, the amount of nonclinical time allocated, and the estimated amount of nonclinical time spent per year completing their faculty duties. Results: A total 156 of 635 program directors (24.6%) returned the survey and 58 (9.1%) completed the entire survey for analysis inclusion. An average of 3,394 hours per year, per program were estimated to be spent on nonclinical activities. The greatest amount of time was spent on program administration (39%) and the least amount of time on curriculum development (5%). There was variation in the use of nonphysician faculty to complete these tasks. Allocated faculty time was comparable to estimated time spent performing nonclinical tasks. On average, a 24-resident program devoted 1.9 full-time equivalent faculty salary support to complete nonclinical activities. Conclusions: Family medicine residency faculty spend significant time completing nonclinical tasks required to meet ACGME requirements and need the protected time to complete these necessary tasks. Direct data on the use of faculty nonclinical time is needed to more accurately define its use.

Indonesia is a developing country with various kinds of economic development. Bound by government regulations, the community cannot act arbitrarily and must follow applicable norms. The government in an effort to equalize the welfare of its people creates a forum for community associations to manage their funds or borrow funds to open a business. The purpose of this study is to reveal the legal arrangements for bad loans at KSU Sumber Kasih, Tangeb village and the settlement of bad loans at KSU Sumber Kasih, Tangeb village. This research applies normative research methods. Sources of data used in the form of primary and secondary legal materials. This research was conducted by looking for direct data from the field and through legal science books and connecting with the issues raised and then linking them to the current legislation which was then analyzed systematically. The results of the study reveal that Rural Banks are the government's solution to provide convenience to the community but with terms and conditions in the lending process. Every community who wants to borrow money for certain purposes can be done at BPR, those who want to borrow capital must have collateral which will later be calculated according to the desired loan, but it is not uncommon for bank staff not to think about the amount of collateral used with borrowed funds, this often happens. default

The purpose of this study was to analyze the position and problems faced by the study program in implementing the tri dharma of higher education. The analysis is carried out by conducting direct data reviews, both internally and externally. This study used several respondents consisting of stakeholders of the Master of Economics (MIE) study program. The analytical tools used include the IFE and EFE Matrix, SWOT analysis. The results of the study state that the MIE study program must make improvements in the process of implementing the tri dharma with the carrying capacity of the study programs and institutions. The need for integration in every tri dharma activity so that based on the track record of study program data, development can be carried out according to the approach used.

AbstractRecombinase alleles and transgenes can be used to facilitate spatio-temporal specificity of gene disruption or transgene expression. However, the versatility of this in vivo recombination system relies on having detailed and accurate characterization of recombinase expression and activity to enable selection of the appropriate allele or transgene. The CrePortal (http://www.informatics.jax.org/home/recombinase) leverages the informatics infrastructure of Mouse Genome Informatics to integrate data from the scientific literature, direct data submissions from the scientific community at-large, and from major projects developing new recombinase lines and characterizing recombinase expression and specificity patterns. Searching the CrePortal by recombinase activity or specific recombinase gene driver provides users with a recombinase alleles and transgenes activity tissue summary and matrix comparison of gene expression and recombinase activity with links to generation details, a recombinase activity grid, and associated phenotype annotations. Future improvements will add cell type-based activity annotations. The CrePortal provides a comprehensive presentation of recombinase allele and transgene data to assist researchers in selection of the recombinase allele or transgene based on where and when recombination is desired.

The present paper proposes an experiment that may resolve many controversial issues regarding HIV transmission and prevention: Compare HIV prevalence between mothers of HIV positive and HIV negative women ages 15-19 who attended antenatal clinics in SSA. For example, HIV prevention guidelines contradict each other over whether or not exposure of oral mucosa to HIV contaminated blood is a risk for transmission. The proposed experiment could result in a direct data that allow us know the flaw in our current prevention strategy, and offer insights into why our prevention of HIV has failed.

Reproducibility is integral to science, but difficult to achieve. Previous research has quantified low rates of data availability and results reproducibility across the biological and behavioural sciences. Here, we surveyed 560 empirical publications, published between 1955 and 2018 in the social learning literature, a research topic that spans animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, cultural evolution and evolutionary psychology. Data were recoverable online or through direct data requests for 30% of this sample. Data recovery declines exponentially with time since publication, halving every 6 years, and up to every 9 years for human experimental data. When data for a publication can be recovered, we estimate a high probability of subsequent data usability (87%), analytical clarity (97%) and agreement of published results with reproduced findings (96%). This corresponds to an overall rate of recovering data and reproducing results of 23%, largely driven by the unavailability or incompleteness of data. We thus outline clear measures to improve the reproducibility of research on the ecology and evolution of social behaviour.

PURPOSE State and national cancer registries do not systematically include Veteran data, which hinders analysis of the diagnosis patterns, treatment trajectories, and clinical outcomes of Veterans compared with non-Veteran populations. This study used data matching approaches to compare cases included in the Oncology Domain of the Veterans Affairs (VA) Corporate Data Warehouse and the Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System, using brain tumors as an exemplar. METHODS We used direct data matching, on the basis of protected health information (PHI) common to both databases, to compare primary brain tumors from Veterans and non-Veterans diagnosed from 2000 to 2016. Working with this matched data set, we used six data elements that did not contain PHI, to assess the feasibility of using deterministic data matching to compare Veterans and non-Veterans. RESULTS Between 2000 and 2016, 223 Veterans from Ohio had a primary brain tumor; of those, 55 (25%) were not included in Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System. Direct data matching showed that Veterans experienced a greater proportion of glioblastomas (41%) compared with non-Veterans (21%). Sex did not account for this difference. Deterministic data matching within the matched data set found that 75% (126 of 168) of Veterans had exact matches for at least five of six non-PHI variables common to both databases. CONCLUSION This study indicated that direct and deterministic data matching approaches to compare brain tumors in Veterans and in non-Veterans is feasible. This approach has the potential to promote comparisons of the distribution of tumors, the impact of chemical and environmental exposures, treatment trajectories, and clinical outcomes among Veteran and non-Veteran populations with brain tumors as well as other cancers and rare diseases.

This paper combines system identification, direct data-driven control, and optimization algorithm to design two controllers for one cascade control system, that is, the inner controller and the outer controller. More specifically, when these two controllers in the cascade control system are parameterized by two unknown parameter vectors, respectively, the problem of controller design is changed to parameter identification. To avoid the modeling process for the unknown plants in the cascade control system, a direct data-driven control scheme is proposed to identify those two parameter vectors through minimizing two optimization problems, which do not need any knowledge of the unknown plants. Furthermore, the detailed first-order gradient algorithm is applied to solve our constructed optimization problems, and its convergence property is also analyzed. To extend the above idea to design a nonlinear controller in the cascade control system, a direct data-driven scheme is proposed to get one optimal nonlinear controller, by using some spectral knowledge. Finally, one simulation example of flight simulation is used to prove the efficiency of our proposed direct data-driven control for the cascade control system.
