Desain Rancang Bangun Inovasi Teknologi Rocket Stove Hemat Energi Dan Turbin Ventilator Sebagai Upaya Optimalisasi Peningkatan Kapasitas Produksi Keripik Ikan Kunir

UD. Farah is a well-known trading business in Situbondo that specializes in producing highly sought-after fresh seafood chips called "Ikan Kunir". However, the production capacity is still low due to the use of traditional equipment in the kitchen. To address this, the development of technology using a Rocket Stove is necessary. The Rocket Stove design allows for high-temperature wood combustion, resulting in complete combustion, increased heat energy, and smoke-free operation. It is also more fuel-efficient compared to open fire, saving up to 50% fuel. Furthermore, the current kitchen conditions lack attention to health and safety aspects, leading to smoke-filled, messy, dirty, and dark environments. To improve air circulation and increase production efficiency, a Turbine Ventilator will be installed in the combustion area. This applied research focuses on designing and innovating energy-efficient Rocket Stove technology and utilizing a Turbine Ventilator to enhance the production efficiency of Ikan Kunir chips in terms of time, cost, and energy. The breakthrough aims to improve user health by achieving complete combustion and reducing smoke emissions. The goal of this activity is to address the business partner's challenges, particularly in increasing product capacity and improving occupational health and safety management.

SWOT Analysis for Center of Technology Development and Industrial Collaboration in the Context of New Normal, Industry 4.0, and Society 5.0

Post-pandemic recovery in the new normal era is one of the challenges industries in 2022. This is in addition to the use of industry 4.0 and society 5.0, labeled as “triple challenge” by industries to determine their direction and business strategies. These factors become an opportunity for the Center of Technology Development and Industrial Collaboration or Pusat Kajian dan Pengembangan Teknologi dan Kolaborasi Industri (PKPTKI) to improve its management to support industries. Three steps were conducted to tackle those challenges. The first is identifying and mapping the industry partner’s challenges. The second is solution mapping to support them while facing the triple challenges, and lastly is formulating the solutions using SWOT analysis and developing a new roadmap for PKPTKI. The outputs are the partner challenges and knowledge mapping, SWOT analysis, and solution strategies with a planned improvement program.

Muslim Women in Interfaith Partnerships in Germany

The number of Muslim-interfaith couples in European countries has become significant due to transnational migration and a growing number of Muslims living in Muslim Minority countries. While the challenges for partners in such unions are complex, this article focuses on the lived experiences of Muslim women in interfaith intimate relationships in Germa ny. Drawing on field interviews with women in mixed-faith relationships, the following questions are central: How do Muslim women conceptualize religious identity and practices? Do they face challenges from different groups (Muslim communities, their families, friends, etc.) and if so, how do these challenges manifest? If respondents create concepts of being Muslim for themselves, how do these evolve in their narratives? How do they question, adapt or discard theological and social demands? Preliminary results illustrate that some respondents would appreciate a Muslim community that accepts their positionality as intermarried Muslim women. Looking at the narration of religious practices and concepts of Muslimness in the interviews, it becomes clear that a classification as haram, or legally forbidden, puts a simple categorical bar in front of a socially and theologically complex context. The inquiry combines interview analysis with situational mapping and is informed by Grounded Theory methodology.

IMPLEMENTASI DIGITALISASI REKAM MEDIS UNTUK MENDUKUNG REKAM MEDIS ELEKTRONIK

The development of the digital era has highlighted the importance of integrating routine and high-quality data as part of the digital transformation process. One crucial data component that needs to be maintained is the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Puskesmas Baloi Permai is currently piloting the implementation of EMR and requires technical assistance in digitizing paper-based medical records into electronic form. Digitization is necessary to ensure the continuity of patients' medical history information. This effort aims to support the successful implementation of EMR at Puskesmas Baloi Permai. Solutions are implemented to address the partner's challenges through training and the transfer of knowledge and technology. Training activities involve counseling and demonstrations. The knowledge and technology transfer in Puskesmas Baloi Permai entails introducing new methods and technologies for digitizing medical records and replacing outdated practices. The activities are divided into two stages: initially, a presentation is given on the procedures for digitizing electronic medical records, followed by discussions on the digitization process. To ensure the success of medical record digitization, demonstrations are conducted, including sorting the medical record forms to be scanned, simulating the scanning process, saving files for easy identification, and importing image files into the EMR system through appropriate media.

Female partner experiences of prostate cancer patients\u2019 engagement with a community-based football intervention: a qualitative study

BackgroundProstate cancer is often labelled a couple’s disease wherein the partner plays an important role in the man’s illness management and related health promotion activities. The aim of this study was to explore partner experiences of prostate cancer patients’ engagement with a community-based football program.MethodsEight audio-visual recorded semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with a total of 39 female partners of men with prostate cancer who participated in a community-based football program as part of the nationwide FC Prostate Community Trial (NCT02430792). Data was managed with the software program Nvivo 11 and analysed inductively to derive thematic findings.ResultsThe four thematic findings were: 1) ‘Hope of a new beginning’ which included stories of hope that football would mitigate the negative effects of men’s prostate cancer treatment [s]; 2) ‘My new partner’ was characterized by attributing connections between physical activity and elevated mood as a by-product of men’s involvement in the program; 3) ‘Football first’ included assertions of the couples mutual commitment to the football program; and 4) ‘Invisible needs’ contrasted insecurity, and unforeseen challenges for partners feeling somewhat neglected. Overall, the results confirm the need for cohesion and flexibility amongst couple-dyads to ensure partners and men with prostate cancer benefit from their involvement in football programs.ConclusionsThis study indicates that partners of prostate cancer survivors’ engaging with community-based football align to idealized gender relations, roles and identities. In many instances, these gendered dimensions aided positive dyadic coping and long-term exercise adherence.

Professionally- and Self-Trained Service Dogs: Benefits and Challenges for Partners With Disabilities.

It has been widely reported that service dogs offer benefits to their human partners, however, it is unclear whether the expanding methods of training and roles of service dogs for their partners with various disabilities also provide similar benefits. This study aimed to investigate the self-reported experience of service dog partners to understand whether three different factors influence the benefits and drawbacks associated with partnering with a service dog: (1) different methods of training service dogs; (2) different severities of human partners' disabilities; (3) different roles of service dogs. Partners of service dogs were recruited to the web survey through service dog facilities and networking groups. Answers from 19 men and 147 women participants (91.8% living in the U.S.) were analyzed in this study. Participants experienced the expected benefits of service dogs, including increased independence, social relationships, self-esteem, and life satisfaction, and decreased anxiety, stress, and loneliness. However, the perceived benefits, concerns, and burdens differed depending on the partners' disabilities and the training history of the dogs. When first living with their service dogs, people who had self-trained their service dogs experienced more burdens than those living with professionally trained service dogs. No major reduction in expenses for assistance after acquiring a dog was reported. Personalized team training based on each person's disabilities and situation is required to optimize the benefits and minimize the burdens and concerns of living with service dogs.

Breast Cancer: When the Woman You Love Has Breast Cancer

For the person with breast cancer, a diagnosis causes her life to suddenly and dramatically change. As treatment progresses, the patient has a multitude of doctor visits, procedures, and often support groups to keep her busy and focused. Her partner's challenges are also significant, but unfortunately they are frequently overlooked. This 4-page fact sheet is the second document in a 12-part series on breast cancer. It provides perspectives and suggestions for persons who are accompanying a woman through breast cancer treatment. Written by Martha C. Monroe, Barbara F. Shea, and Linda B. Bobroff, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, revised April 2018. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fy896

An exploratory investigation of the experiences of partners living with people who have bulimia nervosa

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to explore partners' experiences of living as a couple with someone with bulimia nervosa.MethodTranscripts of eight exploratory interviews with partners were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.ResultsFive superordinate themes emerged: (1) Living with the secrecy and deception; (2) Struggling to understand and find reasons; (3) Discovering your powerlessness; (4) ‘It's like growing to live with it’; (5) Experiencing strengths and strains in the relationship.DiscussionLiving with someone with bulimia presents many challenges for partners. They struggle to understand what is happening, can find the secrecy difficult to live with, and are often left feeling powerless. However, partners also look to find ways of accepting and living with the bulimia. It is suggested that partners could be offered opportunities to access support, and that their perspectives could be a useful resource for therapeutic interventions.

The End of TECs: A Challenge for Partners and Successor Bodies to Maintain Discretionary Activity

This paper examines the scale and form of discretionary activity in Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs). Discretionary activity was a key aspect of TECs. In particular it underpinned their role to be flexible local agents offering leadership and finance to lever partnerships with other agents. The paper examines TEC discretionary activity at the peak of its development in 2000. This amounted to about 200m per annum. Their activity covered fields of economic development, business support, education and training, and workforce development. TECs were abolished from April 2001. The paper examines the challenges faced by successor bodies (the Learning and Skills Council, Regional Development Agencies, and the Small Business Service) in maintaining significant local initiatives. TEC projects chiefly depended on the TEC for both leadership and finance. Without a continuation of both, many local projects will disappear and employer commitment is endangered. Employer commitment is shown chiefly to have involved large national firms, or significant local and regional employers. Their commitments and the need for leadership appear to be the most fragile elements, which are hence most vulnerable.
