Implementasi Sistem Pengarsipan Metode Alphabetical, Subject Dan Chronological Filing Untuk Meningkatkan Tata Kelola Arsip PT Tunas Antarnusa Muda Cargo Solo

Archives play an important role in supporting the administrative activities of an agency. Archives include all activities related to company documents. At the expedition agency PT Tunas Antarnusa Muda Cargo Solo, the receipt document filing system is still lacking in structure. This receipt is only archived to the extent that it is entered in an order that is adjusted to the customer's name randomly and unstructured. This makes employees of PT Tunas Antarnusa Muda Cargo Solo, especially the finance division, find it difficult to find receipts so that work management becomes less effective and efficient due to the long search time when receipts are needed. This service aims to improve the filing system at PT Tunas Antarnusa Muda Cargo Solo by using a combination of alphabetical filing, subject filing, and chronological filing methods. This method is applied in alphabetical order of the customer's name, the subject of grouping the customer's names and sorted by the time the receipt was made. In practice, this method aims to manage receipts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the filing system. In addition, structured archives can make it easier for agency employees to find the information needed quickly and simplify the work process

Impact of Geopolitical Risk on International Trade: Evidence from Container Throughputs

It is of great importance for manufacturers and consumers that raw materials and products can be delivered on time without any disruption in the supply chain. The fact that production chains can be located in more than one country in the globalized world makes the smooth operation of the supply chain partially difficult. For this reason, especially suppliers may stop doing business with countries where geopolitical risk is high, and this may change the container traffic of countries. Therefore, this study empirically tests whether geopolitical risks change the container volumes of countries. Our sample includes 15 of the 19 countries in the world for which the geopolitical risk index is calculated because some values of the excluded countries are missing. The countries included are Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, and Türkiye in alphabetical order. The period covered consists of 21 observations annually, covering the years between 2000 and 2020. The asymmetric causality test method was applied to consider the possible asymmetrical consequences of the geopolitical risk on the container trade in the countries. The panel causality test results obtained show that positive shocks in geopolitical risk cause negative shocks in container traffic. These results show that the security and stability of the countries around them are critical for the country's economy, as well as the security and stability of the countries themselves. Countries that want to grow commercially should develop their policies by considering regional security and stability.

Navigating adalimumab biosimilars: an expert opinion.

The patent expiry of Humira® in 2018 opened up the current European market to eight adalimumab biosimilars - (in alphabetical order) Amgevita®, Amsparity®, Hulio®, Hukyndra®, Hyrimoz®, Idacio®, Imraldi®and Yuflyma® - for the treatment of various immune and inflammatory conditions. Amjevita, Hadlima®, Hyrimozand Yuflymahave recently become available in the USA, with others expected to reach this market in 2023 as the US patent protection for Humiraends. Although adalimumab biosimilars demonstrate efficacy, safety and immunogenicity similar to the originator, they may differ in product excipient(s) and preservatives, along with their device type(s). Physicians may find it both difficult and time consuming to navigate their way among the array of available adalimumab biosimilars when they need to make a treatment decision. This article explores the characteristics of various adalimumab biosimilars to help clinicians navigate the various options available across Europe and the USA. In addition to drug selection, effective patient-physician communication is needed to nurture realistic patient expectations and minimise potential nocebo effects when prescribing biosimilars.

Genre Varieties of Modern Kazakh Russian Story

The purpose of this article is to identify and describe the two main genre varieties of the modern Russian Kazakh story. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: theoretical, historical-literary, system-typological approach, poetic-structural analysis of the work. In Russian Kazakh literature, realism and postmodernism are developing in parallel. The story of Nikolai Verevochkin “Singing in the transitions” is a realistic work. Its artistic world contains an image of a system of literary heroes based on determinism, the conditionality of the formation and development of a person’s character by various factors. Determinism contains the strong connection of the structural elements of the story. Verevochkin gradually reveals the characters of the heroes in various situations. The problematics of the story also has a traditional character for the literature of realism. The author demonstrates commitment to humanism, which is the ideological basis of realism. The article also analyzes the work of postmodernism - the story of Asel Omar “Alphabet”. The definition of “story-lexicon”, introduced by the author of the article, reflects the genre and generic features of this work. The story-lexicon Asel Omar consists of micro-novellas, which at the same time are dictionary entries. The peculiarity of these articles is that they are based on a certain storyline. The micronovelas are arranged in alphabetical order, which gave the author of this article reason to call them dictionary entries. Asel Omar’s lexicon story, in contrast to Nikolai Verevochkin’s story, is written in a freer plot form. The application of the essay principle allowed the author to create a reasoning story. The main thing for Assel Omar is to express her thoughts on various topics. The work of Nikolai Verevochkin is a narrative story. Thus, in modern Russian Kazakh prose, two main types of story are presented - realistic and postmodern story. Due to historical and cultural reasons, the realistic story prevails. The work of Asel Omar “Alphabet” is a unique example of a postmodern story-lexicon in modern Kazakh literature.

Differences in the B-mode imaging quality of ultrasound devices in the mid-price segment.

A meaningful sonographic examination is decisively dependent on the B-scan quality of the ultrasound device. When selecting a suitable ultrasound device, B-scan quality should be an important purchase criterion. Although there is no generally accepted method to measure B-scan quality, we tried to evaluate comparable sonography devices from different manufacturers regarding B-scan quality. We systematically assessed the B-scan quality in ultrasound devices of seven different manufacturers from the mid-price segment. All 7 ultrasound units tested had comparable equipment features and the purchase value of approximately $20,000. We recorded video sequences and compared B-mode image quality. We used both physiological sectional images and pathological findings from abdominal ultrasound. We identified three ultrasound units that scored significantly better in measuring the B-scan quality than the other devices. The Canon Xario 200, the General Electric Logiq P7 and the Mindray DC70 (in alphabetical order) were the units that outperformed all others.The differences identified were found to be statistically significant. A subgroup analysis showed that the contrasts in quality were more pronounced in near-field examinations than in examinations with greater penetration depth. There are considerable qualitative discrepancies in B-scan ultrasound devices despite being similar in terms of equipment and price. Our findings show that these differences are statistically detectable and likely clinically relevant.

Sexual dysfunction in women with PCOS: a case control study.

What is the relationship of sex steroid levels with sexual function in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? Women with PCOS reported more sexual dysfunction and more sexual distress compared to those without PCOS, but only few and weak associations between androgen levels and sexual function were observed. The literature shows that women with PCOS report lower levels of sexual function and sexual satisfactionand more sexual distress. Contributing factors seem to be obesity, alopecia, hirsutism, acne, infertility, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. In women with PCOS clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism is common; its relationship with sexualfunction is, however, inconclusive. This observational prospective case control study with 135 women (68 PCOS, 67 control) was conductedfrom March 2017 until March 2020. Heterosexual women with and without PCOS, aged 18-40 years, in a steady relationshipand without any comorbidities, underwent an extensive medical and endocrine screening using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and validated sexual function questionnaires. Women with PCOS reported significantly lower sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) P < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.104), higher levels of sexual distress (Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised P < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.090), and they more often complied with the definition of sexual dysfunction (41.2% vs 11.9%, P < 0.001, Phi V = 0.331) and clinical sexual distress (51.5% vs 19.4%, P < 0.001, Phi V = 0.335). Regression analysis adjusted for confounders showed only few and weak associations between androgen levels and sexual function, with each model explaining a maximum of 15% sexual function. Following significant Group × Hormone interactions, analyses for both groups separately showed no significant associations in the PCOS group. The control group showed only weak negative associations between testosterone and FSFI pain (β = -6.022, P = 0.044, Adj R2 = 0.050), between FAI and FSFI orgasm (β = -3.360, P = 0.023, Adj R2 = 0.049) and between androstenedione and clinical sexual distress (β = -7.293, P = 0.036, exp(β) = 0.001). The focus of the study on sexual functioning potentially creates selection bias. Possibly women with more severe sexual disturbances did or did not choose to participate. Differences between women with PCOS and controls in relationship duration and hormonal contraceptive use might have skewed the sexual function outcomes. Sexual function is impaired in women with PCOS. However, endocrine perturbations seem to have minimal direct impact on sexual function. Addressing sexuality and offering psychosexual counseling is important in the clinical care for women with PCOS. This study was funded by the departments of the participating centers: Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Department of Psychosomatic OBGYN and Sexology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands; and Department of Sexology and Psychosomatic OBGYN, Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. J.S.E.L. received unrestricted research grants from the following companies (in alphabetical order): Ansh Labs, Ferring, Merck Serono and Roche Diagnostics. He also received consultancy fees from Ansh Labs, Ferring, Titus Healthcare and Roche Diagnostics. The other authors have no conflicts of interest.

The utility of the classification tools in National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence's Clinical Knowledge Summaries for primary care.

The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence provides a web-based resource, Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS), whose aim is to give evidence-based guidance for primary care practitioners and students. Included in the information it provides, are tools for the classification of conditions. The objective of this study was to measure the proportion and utility of the classification tools that have implications for management. Each topic on the CKS website was screened in alphabetical order for the presence of a classification tool. The linkage to management and the strength of recommendations were extracted by 2 researchers working independently. Disagreements were resolved through discussion. Classification tools were present for 35 conditions. There were 52 tools in all. A strong recommendation for their use was made in 37% while for a sizeable minority, 46%, the strength of recommendation was uncertain. There was a relation between strength of recommendation and linkage: for the stronger recommendation, 76% had some form of implication for management. Relevance is an important feature of a guideline for general practitioners (GPs). Given that nearly half its tools have no utility in guiding management, CKS may need to consider whether extraneous information should be disposed of or retained.

Experimental and Semiclassical Stark Widths and Shifts for Spectral Lines of Neutral and Ionized Atoms (A Critical Review of Experimental and Semiclassical Data for the Period 2008 Through 2020)

This Review Article compares new experimental and corresponding semiclassical Stark broadened data for non-hydrogenic spectral lines of neutral atoms and positive ions. This Review covers the period 2008 until the end of 2020 and presents the continuation of previous critical reviews from 1976 (two), 1984 (two), 1990, 2002, and one from 2009. This Review reports the Stark broadening parameters of 1665 spectral lines belonging to 35 elements with 61 different atomic and ion species. The data are taken from 60 papers. Experimental data are arranged by elements and spectra, and these are reported in tables in alphabetical and numerical order, respectively. Each experimental Stark broadening parameter is followed with estimated accuracy. The experimental Stark broadening and shift data presented in the tables are compared with the corresponding semiclassical results available in the literature. In addition, for comparison experiments versus semiclassical theoretical Stark broadening parameters, a numerically improved theoretical approach developed based on Griem and co-workers’ theory is used to evaluate Stark widths and shifts of all studied lines whenever required atomic energy levels data and transition probabilities are available. At the end of the text report, for each analyzed neutral or ion species, the information about the location of the same species data in preceding reviews is given.

FAIR Principles and TDWG Standards: The case of morphological description of taxa and specimens

Sharing data is crucial in biodiversity research as well as in all scientific domains. Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) validates and makes available a set of standards to facilitate the sharing of biodiversity data. Of the 23 standards listed in alphabetical order, each has a status, a category, and a short description. But these standards are designed for very different purposes, which we will discuss by linking them to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) . The FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016) focus on the ability of machines to automatically find and use the digital data. It is therefore crucial that software for editing, acquiring and using data, shares defined standards that are made available to all. TDWG has been working in this direction for over 30 years. Pioneers in biodiversity informatics, such as Richard Pankhust (Pankhurst 1970), Mike Dallwitz (Dallwitz 1974, Dallwitz 1980) and Jacques Lebbe (Lebbe et al. 1987) worked specifically on taxon identification with computers and how to represent morphological descriptions of taxa and specimens. Some TDWG standards, such as ABCD (Access to Biological Collection Data; Access to Biological Collections Data Task Group 2005), TCS (Taxonomic Concept Transfer Schema; Taxonomic Names Subgroup 2006) or SDD (Structured Descriptive Data; Structure of Descriptive Data (SDD) Subgroup 2006) are expressed by an XML schema covering a formal data model. Other standards, as Floristic Regions of the World (Takhtajan 1986), or Vocabulary Maintenance Standard (VMS; Vocabulary Maintenance Specification Task Group 2017) concern vocabularies or a collection of standardized terms. The Plant Occurrence and Status Scheme (POSS; World Conservation Monitoring Centre 1995) provides both, a list of accepted terms, and a data model (list of fields). In case of morpho-anatomical data describing taxa or specimens, TDWG offers two standards: DELTA (DEscription Language for TAxonomy, Dallwitz 2006) and SDD (Structured Descriptive Data, Hagedorn 2007). In order to further the discussion on morphological description data sharing, we would like to clarify what is meant by the term standard. We'll be looking at the concepts of guidelines, rules, defined format, referential list of terms, data schema, model, metamodel, protocols, which are all terms linked to this notion of standard and FAIR principles. Perhaps this reflection will lead us to propose criteria for better classifying TDWG standards.

Banish the Bans

As the restriction of books in schools continues to rise in the U.S., the authors of this piece argue that teacher educators have an important and powerful role to play as they empower preservice and inservice teachers to advocate for book access and choice. Four actions for teacher educators to consider are recommended: 1) building background knowledge 2) modeling effective strategies 3) introducing pathways of advocacy 4) providing a community of support. * It should be noted that the authors of the article used alphabetical order as authors and wish to recognize all contributions as equal.

In Quest of Influences of Polish Language Dictionaries on the Oldest Polish Sign Language Dictionary

Abstract The paper examines whether the authors of the very first Polish Sign Language dictionary, Słownik mimiczny dla głuchoniemych i osób z nimi styczność mających ‘A gestural dictionary for deaf and dumb and persons who have contact with them’, published in 1879, may have been influenced by any of the spoken Polish monolingual dictionaries available at that time. As there is no historical documentation about the circumstances in which Słownik mimiczny was compiled, the inquiry necessarily relies exclusively on internal evidence: comparison of headword spelling, alphabetical ordering, direction of cross-references and the content of sample entries. The results indicate that such influence, if any, was only minor, and that the lexicographic strategies applied in Słownik mimiczny most likely resulted from the authors’ knowledge of Polish Sign Language and teaching practice.

Evaluation Of Drug Storage System In A Pharmacy Of Medan City Based On Pharmaceutical Services Standards

Pharmacy is a place where pharmaceutical services are held by pharmacists who are responsible for patients. Pharmaceutical services in pharmacies are related to drugs with the aim of achieving definite results to improve the quality of life of patients. So the management of drugs in pharmacies needs to be done properly and precisely to ensure the availability of sufficient and quality drugs in order to achieve optimal service goals by implementing a storage system that is in accordance with pharmaceutical service standards no.73 of 2016. Therefore the purpose of this research is to evaluate the drug storage system in one of the Medan city pharmacies based on pharmaceutical service standards. This research is descriptive with retrospective data collection. The data obtained were grouped into quantitative data presented in tabular form to see visual comparisons, and qualitative data obtained through observation and interviews with informants. The results showed that in several indicators of drug storage in one of the Medan city pharmacies based on Permenkes No. 73 of 2016 there are still those that have not complied with, namely in the preparation of LASA drugs and writing document numbers on drug stock cards. Meanwhile, the standard drug storage indicators are the columns on the stock card consisting of receipt or dispensing date, receipt or disbursement document number, source of origin of the drug, no. batch/no. Lot, expiry date, receipt and disbursement amount, remaining stock, and officer's initials, as well as suitability for drug storage based on dosage form, alphabetical order, and FEFO and FIFO storage methods. Based on the results of the study it was concluded that the drug storage system carried out in one of the pharmacies in the city of Medan did not meet pharmaceutical service standards based on Permenkes No. 73 of 2016.
