The payroll system is an important function that is the responsibility of Human Resources Management. Its main function is to provide compensation to employees in the form of salary in exchange for their contribution to the organization / agency. Payroll is one of the processes in an organization that is vulnerable to problems. Slow data processing can result in slow presentation of slow report making so that it is also possible to delay payment of salaries to employees. Plus if something goes wrong making salary calculations inaccurate. This makes the payroll system needs to be supported by a good information system. The research methodology used by the author in this research is the System Development Life Sycle (SDLC) Waterfall method. The development of research methodology has several sequential stages, namely: planning (modeling), modeling (modeling), construction (construction), and the delivery of the system to the customers / users (deployment).

Effect of Text-to-Speech Rate on Reading Comprehension by Adults With Aphasia

Purpose Accessing auditory and written material simultaneously benefits people with aphasia; however, the extent of benefit as well as people's preferences and experiences may vary given different auditory presentation rates. This study's purpose was to determine how 3 text-to-speech rates affect comprehension when adults with aphasia access newspaper articles through combined modalities. Secondary aims included exploring time spent reviewing written texts after speech output cessation, rate preference, preference consistency, and participant rationales for preferences. Method Twenty-five adults with aphasia read and listened to passages presented at slow (113 words per minute [wpm]), medium (154 wpm), and fast (200 wpm) rates. Participants answered comprehension questions, selected most and least preferred rates following the 1st and 3rd experimental sessions and after receiving performance feedback, and explained rate preferences and reading and listening strategies. Results Comprehension accuracy did not vary significantly across presentation rates, but reviewing time after cessation of auditory content did. Visual data inspection revealed that, in particular, participants with substantial extra reviewing time took longer given fast than medium or slow presentation. Regardless of exposure amount or receipt of performance feedback, participants most preferred the medium rate and least preferred the fast rate; rationales centered on reading and listening synchronization, benefits to comprehension, and perceived normality of speaking rate. Conclusion As a group, people with aphasia most preferred and were most efficient given a text-to-speech rate around 150 wpm when processing dual modality content; individual differences existed, however, and mandate attention to personal preferences and processing strengths.

Comatose patient with hypothermia, dyspnea, and general edema in the emergency department: a case report

Patients presenting to the emergency department with hypothermia are rare and often require prompt diagnosis and management. Myxedema coma, which may cause severe hypothermia, is a true endocrine emergency requiring early and appropriate treatment. We report on a 47-year-old woman with a history of hyperthyroidism who underwent thyroidectomy 5 years previously, with no regular medication or examinations. She presented to the emergency department with a 1-month history of progressive dyspnea associated with general weakness. She also showed hypothermia, decreased mental status, and general edema. Echocardiography revealed increased pericardial effusion without tamponade. Laboratory examination suggested myxedema coma and hypothyroidism. She received thyroxine, glucocorticoid supplement, and intensive supportive care, after which she gradually improved and was discharged. This case suggests that myxedema coma should be considered in patients with hypothyroidism or a history of thyroidectomy who present with change in consciousness, hypothermia, or other symptoms related to critical or slow presentation in multiple organs. Moreover, long-standing hypothyroidism or precipitating acute events such as sepsis, cerebrovascular accidents, gastrointestinal bleeding, cold exposure, trauma, and some medications may also cause myxedema coma. Myxedema coma is associated with a high mortality, and patients suspected to be suffering from this condition should be treated without delay.

The neural dynamics of somatosensory processing and adaptation across childhood: a high-density electrical mapping study

Young children are often hyperreactive to somatosensory inputs hardly noticed by adults, as exemplified by irritation to seams or labels in clothing. The neurodevelopmental mechanisms underlying changes in sensory reactivity are not well understood. Based on the idea that neurodevelopmental changes in somatosensory processing and/or changes in sensory adaptation might underlie developmental differences in somatosensory reactivity, high-density electroencephalography was used to examine how the nervous system responds and adapts to repeated vibrotactile stimulation over childhood. Participants aged 6–18 yr old were presented with 50-ms vibrotactile stimuli to the right wrist over the median nerve at 5 blocked interstimulus intervals (ranging from ∼7 to ∼1 stimulus per second). Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) revealed three major phases of activation within the first 200 ms, with scalp topographies suggestive of neural generators in contralateral somatosensory cortex. Although overall SEPs were highly similar for younger, middle, and older age groups (6.1–9.8, 10.0–12.9, and 13.0–17.8 yr old), there were significant age-related amplitude differences in initial and later phases of the SEP. In contrast, robust adaptation effects for fast vs. slow presentation rates were observed that did not differ as a function of age. A greater amplitude response in the later portion of the SEP was observed for the youngest group and may be related to developmental changes in responsivity to somatosensory stimuli. These data suggest the protracted development of the somatosensory system over childhood, whereas adaptation, as assayed in this study, is largely in place by ∼7 yr of age.

Effects of Presentation Rate of Stimuli on Response Inhibition in ADHD Children with and without Tics

Presentation rate of stimuli is a crucial factor in Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), that is, especially in ADHD children without tics ( n = 24), the ability to inhibit a response decreases in conditions with fast and slow presentation rates of stimuli.

Children's Free Recall and Clustering Related to List-Task Organization, Instruction to Learn and Presentation Rate

Free recall of 144 fifth grade children given a handwriting orienting task was improved by instruction to learn as opposed to incidental instruction and by slower presentation rate. Active taxonomic categorization surpassed passive writing of the same clustering list, which, in turn, surpassed writing of a nonclusterable list. Interactions were not significant although increased time tended to facilitate intentional more than incidental learning. In Exp. 2 using 72 children in Grades 3 and 6, the categorizing task was superior to blocked presentation, which, in turn, surpassed random presentation of the clusterable list. Clustering data did not parallel recall data, being influenced by list organization rather than by categorization. Clustering increased under slow presentation for incidental but not for intentional learning. The over-all results indicate that school-age children can improve learning under instruction and can benefit from changes in list and task, but that their own organization (clustering) is fortuitous to recall.

The Effect of Presentation Rate on Categorization

Homogeneous experimental (acoustically and semantically related) and control lists were presented to different groups of subjects at either 1 s or 6 s per word. The difference score between these two lists was used as a measure of categorization. Only words in the middle serial positions (representing retrieval from secondary memory) were scored. Clustering was also measured. Slow presentation rate significantly increased categorization of the semantically similar words. This was not true of acoustically similar words. A possible explanation of this is that semantic categorization is time-consuming and acoustic categorization is not. Alternatively, the acoustic similarity effect may be a retrieval effect. The absence of acoustic clustering would seem to fit in with this latter interpretation.
