PENGGUNAAN PEN TABLET DENGAN APLIKASI GOOGLE MEET UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA SMK

This Best Practice is implemented to improve mathematics learning outcomes of vocational through the use of a Pen Tablet with the Google Meet application. The subjects of this study were 155 students of SMKN 5 Kota Serang class XII OTKP and XII TKJ who were conducted in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year with the material: Three Dimensional Geometry, Statistics and Probability. This Best Practice describes the learning process using media in the form of a Pen Tablet with the Google Meet application. Quantitative data were obtained from daily test scores with written test techniques in the form of descriptions, while qualitative data were obtained from observations of student activity. After students were taught mathematics using Pen Tablet with the Google Meet application, learning outcomes increased by 24.6% from the average chapter 1 material of 62,00 which continued to increase in chapter 3 material to 77.25. The implementation of Best Practice shows that the use of the Pen Tablet with the Google Meet application can improve the mathematics learning outcomes of SMK students, especially students of class XII OTKP and XII TKJ SMKN 5 Kota Serang in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year.

Pelaksanaan Best Practice menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Pen Tablet dengan aplikasi Google Meet dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar matematika siswa SMK terutama siswa kelas XII OTKP dan XII TKJ SMKN 5 Kota Serang semester ganjil tahun ajaran 2021/2022.

ARCHES DUNHUANG: HERITAGE INVENTORY SYSTEM FOR CONSERVATION OF GROTTO RESOURCES ON THE GANSU SECTION OF THE SILK ROAD IN CHINA

The cultural heritage of the Buddhist grottoes on the Gansu section of the Silk Road in China has important historical, cultural and artistic values. In order to better protect these precious cultural sites including through facilitating ongoing assessment of their condition, the Dunhuang Academy has created a pilot inventory based on the Arches open-source software platform. This paper first briefly introduces the most important grottoes and the representative caves in Gansu province. It then, in view of the diversity of the grotto architecture layout, describes the Arches semantic graph data modelling technology and how the flexibility of Arches Designer was used to design the resource models, which not only meet data management needs, but also ensure data interoperability and longevity through incorporation of the CIDOC-CRM ontology. In addition, through design of the grottoes map plugin and resource components within Arches, the simple interaction and intuitive visualization of grottoes information was achieved. The Dunhuang Academy’s deployment of Arches will serve the need for grottoes data management and provide support for the establishment of a more scientific and effective protection and management system for the grottoes on the Silk Road in Gansu province. It is hoped that this project will demonstrate the suitability of the Arches platform to support the management of other grotto sites outside of Gansu province, as well as for heritage management elsewhere in China.

Forensic Engineering Analysis of Video Screens for a Dispute Over Requirements and Specifications

This case was about LCD video screens intended to become components of medical equipment requiring an ultra-wide viewing angle. The seller was a wholesaler of various types of video screens from multiple manufacturers. The buyer was a distributor of multiple electrical components for various industries. The OEM, not involved in the case, was a manufacturer of medical instruments and equipment. Claiming that multiple units did not meet the requirements specified in the purchase agreement, the OEM refused a shipment of 1,000 LCD video screens. The buyer had already paid the seller, who refused to take back the shipment and issue a refund or credit. As a result, the buyer sued seller, and the author investigated and submitted expert opinions regarding the following questions: Did performance differ between examined samples? Did each sample meet data sheet specification for viewing angle? And was each sample adequate for its intended application as advertised in the datasheet (that is, for industrial settings requiring ultra-wide viewing angle)?

The Emergency Medicine Facing the Challenge of Open Science

(1) Background: The availability of research datasets can strengthen and facilitate research processes. This is specifically relevant in the emergency medicine field due to the importance of providing immediate care in critical situations as the very current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic is showing to the scientific community. This work aims to show which Emergency Medicine journals indexed in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) currently meet data sharing criteria. (2) Methods: This study analyzes the editorial policies regarding the data deposit of the journals in the emergency medicine category of the JCR and evaluates the Supplementary material of the articles published in these journals that have been deposited in the PubMed Central repository. (3) Results: It has been observed that 19 out of the 24 journals contained in the emergency medicine category of Journal Citation Reports are also located in PubMed Central (PMC), yielding a total of 5983 articles. Out of these, only 9.4% of the articles contain supplemental material. Although second quartile journals of JCR emergency medicine category have quantitatively more articles in PMC, the main journals involved in the deposit of supplemental material belong to the first quartile, of which the most used format in the articles is pdf, followed by text documents. (4) Conclusion: This study reveals that data sharing remains an incipient practice in the emergency medicine field, as there are still barriers between researchers to participate in data sharing. Therefore, it is necessary to promote dynamics to improve this practice both qualitatively (the quality and format of datasets) and quantitatively (the quantity of datasets in absolute terms) in research.

Data integrity in regulated bioanalysis: a summary from the European Bioanalysis Forum Workshop in collaboration with the MHRA

In this conference report, we summarize the main findings and messages from a workshop on ‘Data Integrity’. The workshop was held at the 11th European Bioanalysis Forum Open (EBF) Symposium in Barcelona (21–23 November 2018), in collaboration with the Medicines and Health products Regulatory Agency to provide insight and understanding of regulatory data integrity expectations. The workshop highlighted the importance of engaging with software developers to address the gap between industry’s data integrity needs and current system software capabilities. Delegates were also made aware of the importance of implementing additional procedural controls to mitigate the risk associated with using systems that do not fully meet data integrity requirements.
