Video Conference Service Quality Analysis on 802.11g Wlan Network Jaringan Using Quality Of Service (Qos). (Case Study: Zoom App)

Video Conference is an interactive telecommunication technology or system utilizing the internet network so that it is able to interact with audio video with two or more people without considering the distance or different locations, but video conference requires a stable internet network in accordance with the parameters set by Telecommunications and Internet Protocol Harmonization Over Networks (TIPHON) and to determine the quality of video conference can use Quality of Service (QoS). The purpose of this study is to determine delay, throughput, jitter, and packet loss and if someone is doing video conference services on the network, their use can be further enhanced through QoS than other users who only do ordinary internet services (browsing, chatting, etc.) on the network the same network. Here the author uses the Quality of Service (QoS) method as a regulator of internet bandwidth to maximize the use of video conferencing services so that they can run stably when the flow of internet traffic is quite dense. The results of this study are based on the standard TIPHON calculation using the QoS method in testing more or less affect the quality of the video conference service with the evidence in the packet loss recorded at the time of upload and download, mostly touching the 0% figure compared to without using QoS. That way using the help of the QoS method can increase the level of quality and effectiveness in conducting video conference services.

Intercontinental Multidisciplinary Oncology Videoconferencing for Rare and Complex Cancer: An Alternative to Systematic Transfer

PURPOSE: To report our experience of intercontinental multidisciplinary oncology videoconferencing between the French mainland and South Pacific to discuss rare and/or complex cancer cases. METHODS: On the first and third Friday of each month, all participants connected between 6:30 am and 8:00 am GMT to discuss using a web conference service. RESULTS: Between November 2019 and April 2020, 99 cases concerning 78 patients were discussed. Oncology subspecialties required were sarcoma (n = 36), digestive (n = 29), dermatology (n = 5), gynecology (n = 5), breast (n = 5), urology (n = 5), hematology (n = 5), ENT (n = 3), thoracic (n = 3), thyroid (n = 2), and pediatric (n = 1). Median patient age was 58 years, 41 were female (53%), 37 were male (47%), and 43 had a metastatic disease (55%). Following discussion, 16 patients (21%) were transferred to the French mainland. Reasons for transfer were requirement for complex surgery (n = 11) and need for specialized diagnostic biopsy (n = 5). Fifty-six patients were treated locally, with systemic chemotherapy (n = 36), surveillance (n = 8), surgery (n = 8), radiotherapy (n = 3), or endoscopy (n = 1). Direct benefits for patients treated in their local facility included strategy changes (surveillance or surgery contraindication, n = 9), targeted therapy decision (n = 14), immunotherapy decision (n = 9), and diagnostic or metastatic status corrections (n = 4). Six patients are still awaiting decision. CONCLUSION: Using real-time intercontinental multidisciplinary oncology videoconferencing to discuss complex or rare cancer cases is reliable and effective for decision making. This concept helped to limit to 21% the need for transfers to the mainland.

Conference facilities as a key factor in the competitiveness of urban hotels: A case study of Łódź (Poland)

The article aims to assess the competitiveness of hotels in Łódź on the meeting tourism (MICE) market based on an analysis of their conference facilities. The data was obtained from GUS statistics, reports on MICE tourism in Poland and as a result of own field research carried out in 2019. Exploratory data analysis was used in their development. The development of modern hotels in Łódź of higher categories with obligatory conference rooms has contributed to the diversification of the possibilities of organising MICE tourism by city hotels. The hotel’s possession of conference facilities has become an important factor in building its competitive advantage. The analysis of hotel equipment with conference facilities, using the conference service capacity (CSC) index, turned out to be a sufficiently correct measure to illustrate the diversity of hotels’ ability to compete in the MICE urban tourism market.
