Introduction to MYOB Accounting Basics in Accounting Data Processing at SMK 2 BM Swasta Medan Putri

To improve the learning quality of SMK students in the accounting field, various breakthroughs are needed, both in curriculum development, learning innovation, learning media and fulfillment of educational facilities and infrastructure. The use of computers in the learning process is inevitable in today's digital era. The need for computers is increasing rapidly in any field of science, including the field of accounting. Computers can be very helpful in all accounting work which is usually done manually. This can be realized with the help of accounting software, one of which is MYOB Accounting. Today, many students are not very familiar with MYOB as a software that is able to complete work in the accounting field. Students also do not know exactly how to use it. Accounting always contains a count of numbers that are often very large, so they can provide a high error rate when done manually. To find alternative solutions to the problems above, a training on the introduction of MYOB and its benefits in accounting was held. With the aim of training students of SMK 2 BM Swasta Medan Putri to be able to use MYOB and apply it in the accounting field.

RAGAM BAHASA PEDAGANG SAYUR DI PASAR KIDUL DUSUN BLOKAGUNG DALAM RANAH FONOLOGI

The purpose of this study is to be able to describe the results of the utterances of vegetable traders in the kidol market of Blokagung sub-village in the phonological domain and also be able to find out the factors that cause the various languages of the traders. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The method does not require a count of numbers and is used to describe or write down events at the time the research was conducted. Data and data sources needed in this study are in the form of words, phrases, sentences in the utterances of vegetable traders in the kidul market of Blokagung hamlet. The results of the study describe the various languages of the vegetable traders' utterances in terms of phonological studies. There are phoneme changes (so buyers can hear clearly the types of vegetables offered), phoneme removal (to speed up traders delivering speech when offering their vegetables), phonemes additions (for fluent traders in speaking) and phonemes reduction (for fluent traders in speaking). So that the purpose of traders offering vegetables can be done well and accepted by the buyer. From this research, there are three factors that cause a variety of languages, namely the habit factor, attracting the attention of the seller, and the factor of quickly selling.

Role of Cortisol and Testosterone in Risky Decision-Making: Deciphering Male Decision-Making in the Iowa Gambling Task.

Despite the widely observed high risk-taking behaviors in males, studies using the Iowa gambling task (IGT) have suggested that males choose safe long-term rewards over risky short-term rewards. The role of sex and stress hormones in male decision-making is examined in the initial uncertainty and the latter risk phase of the IGT. The task was tested at peak hormone activity, with breath counting to facilitate cortisol regulation and its cognitive benefits. Results from IGT decision-making before and after counting with saliva samples from two all-male groups (breath vs. number counting) indicated that cortisol declined independent of counting. IGT decision-making showed phase-specific malleability: alteration in the uncertainty phase and stability in the risk phase. Working memory showed alteration, whereas inhibition task performance remained stable, potentially aligning with the phase-specific demands of working memory and inhibition. The results of hierarchical regression for the uncertainty and risk trials indicated that testosterone improved the model fit, cortisol was detrimental for decision-making in uncertainty, and decision-making in the risk trials was benefitted by testosterone. Cortisol regulation accentuated hormones’ phase-specific effects on decision-making. Aligned with the dual-hormone hypothesis, sex, and stress hormones might jointly regulate male long-term decision-making in the IGT.

Virtual Care in an Outpatient Subspecialty Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program.

This article reports on the experience of an outpatient adolescent substance use disorder treatment program transitioning to virtual care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We describe the processes used to make the transition, including development of a safety protocol for patients seen virtually, present clinical volume data before and after the transition, and we describe a range of patient experiences through 3 clinical vignettes. Using data from the electronic health record, we generated counts of the total number of scheduled and completed appointments between December 2019 and June 2020. We used simple proportions to calculate the completed visit rate. Both the absolute number of scheduled appointment and the percent of appointments completed increased with the initiation of virtual care, supporting the acceptability of this modality. Several patients experienced clinical improvements in conjunction with greater engagement, though challenges were also noted. Virtual visits are a practical mode of treatment for adolescent substance use disorders, and more evidence is needed to understand the risks and benefits of this treatment modality.

121 Statistical Analysis Method Counts for Sow Count Data Responses

Abstract Several statistical analysis methods are typically employed to analyze sow reproductive count data. The research objective was to compare analysis methods of pig birth counts to determine their robustness in identifying simulated treatment differences. Counts of stillborn (SB), born alive (BA) and sow parity differences were simulated using descriptive statistics from a sow farm. Different scenarios were tested: 1) Effect of a 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 percentage point change in treatment difference in SB and BA and, 2) Replicates of 20 to 200 experimental units (EU) in increments of 20 sows; yielding 40 total scenarios. For each scenario, sow observations were simulated 1000 times over. Random sub-setting was used to create a random effect of parity in each dataset as follows: 20% Parity 1, 50% Parity 2–4, and 30% Parity 5+ sows. Each simulated scenario was analyzed as: 1) General linear model (GLM) with raw counts of number of SB or BA as the response variable, 2) GLM with the ratio of BA or SB to total born as the response variable, and 3) Generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with a binomial distribution of SB or BA as events and total born as trials. Across the EU replicate range, gross performance of models was compared by measuring area under the curve (AUC) with EU as abscissa and the probability of the simulation being P < 0.05 as ordinate. Simulation results are provided in Table 1. The GLMM has elevated probability of detecting true treatment differences over both GLM models for SB and BA. For BA analysis, the GLM Model 1 the probability of detecting true differences is greatly reduced vs. the other two models. This research indicates that deploying GLMM in analyses is a more effective and improved method to detect true differences in sow count data.

Determination of Level of Service and Traffic Flow Characteristics for a Selected Arterial Roads in Bangalore City

L.O.S(Level of Service) is defined as qualitative measure used to relate the quality of motor vehicle traffic service. H.C.M proposes LOS as a letter that designate a range of operating conditions on a particular type of facilities. Traffic Volume Count is counting of number of vehicles passing through a road over a period of time. Traffic count is commonly undertaken either automatically or manually by observer who visually count and record traffic. In manual count method first take down the reading of traffic volume count and find the percentage of individual vehicle. Now we have to find out the spot speed for each and every class of vehicle. These is the simplest and direct method for spot speed determination. The method of collecting data is done by manually. The length of the stretch 50meter is selected for the survey road. In these methods four members are required. Two members at the start point one with stopwatch and another one for recording the time in the note book and at the end point same procedure is followed as done at the starting point. From the known distance and the measured time interval, speed is calculated. Next, we have calculated the mean speed, density and flow in kmph, v/km and v/hr. With these values we have plotted graphs of speed vs density, speed vs flow and flow vs density for 15 min interval time as shown in fig-1. We got the regression (R2) values from the excel. Where regression is known as statical analysis. Next, we have calculated volume capacity ratio for the selected stretch. We got the level of service “F”. And then calculated average free flow speed for speed vs density, speed vs flow and flow vs density are 10.8, 8.6 and 12.6. And some recommendations have been given to improve the free flow speed.

Functional maps of direct electrical stimulation-induced speech arrest and anomia: a multicentre retrospective study.

Direct electrical stimulation, the transient ‘lesional’ method probing brain function, has been utilized in identifying the language cortex and preserving language function during epilepsy and neuro-oncological surgeries for about a century. However, comparison of functional maps of the language cortex across languages/continents based on cortical stimulation remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective multicentre study including four cohorts of direct electrical stimulation mapping from four centres across three continents, where three indigenous languages (English, French and Mandarin) are spoken. All subjects performed the two most common language tasks: number counting and picture naming during stimulation. All language sites were recorded and normalized to the same brain template. Next, Spearman’s correlation analysis was performed to explore the consistency of the distributions of the language cortex across centres, a kernel density estimation to localize the peak coordinates, and a hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to detect the crucial epicenters. A total of 598 subjects with 917 speech arrest sites (complete interruption of ongoing counting) and 423 anomia sites (inability to name or misnaming) were included. Different centres presented highly consistent distribution patterns for speech arrest (Spearman’s coefficient r ranged from 0.60 to 0.85, all pair-wise correlations P < 0.05), and similar patterns for anomia (Spearman’s coefficient r ranged from 0.37 to 0.80). The combinational speech arrest map was divided into four clusters: cluster 1 mainly located in the ventral precentral gyrus and pars opercularis, which contained the peak of speech arrest in the ventral precentral gyrus; cluster 2 in the ventral and dorsal precentral gyrus; cluster 3 in the supplementary motor area; cluster 4 in the posterior superior temporal gyrus and supramarginal gyrus. The anomia map revealed two clusters: one was in the posterior part of the superior and middle temporal gyri, which peaked at the posterior superior temporal gyrus; and the other within the inferior frontal gyrus, peaked at the pars triangularis. This study constitutes the largest series to date of language maps generated from direct electrical stimulation mapping. The consistency of data provides evidence for common language networks across languages, in the context of both speech and naming circuit. Our results not only clinically offer an atlas for language mapping and protection, but also scientifically provide better insight into the functional organization of language networks.

Containment efficiency and control strategies for the corona pandemic costs

The rapid spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) confronts policy makers with the problem of measuring the effectiveness of containment strategies, balancing public health considerations with the economic costs of social distancing measures. We introduce a modified epidemic model that we name the controlled-SIR model, in which the disease reproduction rate evolves dynamically in response to political and societal reactions. An analytic solution is presented. The model reproduces official COVID-19 cases counts of a large number of regions and countries that surpassed the first peak of the outbreak. A single unbiased feedback parameter is extracted from field data and used to formulate an index that measures the efficiency of containment strategies (the CEI index). CEI values for a range of countries are given. For two variants of the controlled-SIR model, detailed estimates of the total medical and socio-economic costs are evaluated over the entire course of the epidemic. Costs comprise medical care cost, the economic cost of social distancing, as well as the economic value of lives saved. Under plausible parameters, strict measures fare better than a hands-off policy. Strategies based on current case numbers lead to substantially higher total costs than strategies based on the overall history of the epidemic.

Habilidades matemáticas tempranas en niños chilenos con Trastorno del Desarrollo del Lenguaje: Un estudio comparativo

En las últimas décadas se ha incrementado el interés de las investigaciones respecto a las dificultades académicas que presentan los niños con Trastorno del Desarrollo del Lenguaje (TDL). No obstante, su relación con las habilidades matemáticas es una de las menos estudiadas. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en determinar si existen diferencias relevantes entre las habilidades matemáticas tempranas de niños con TDL y con desarrollo típico (DT). Participaron 78 niños de 4 a 7 años 11 meses de edad, pertenecientes a colegios con programas de integración escolar de Santiago de Chile. Se conformó un grupo de 44 niños con TDL y un grupo de 34 con DT. Se establecieron comparaciones del rendimiento en tareas matemáticas pertenecientes a la versión en español del Test de Evaluación Matemática Temprana de Utrecht (TEMT-U): subtest relacionales (comparación, clasificación, correspondencia uno a uno y seriación), y subtest numérico (conteo verbal, conteo estructurado, conteo resultante y conocimiento general de los números); hallándose un rendimiento matemático significativamente menor en el grupo con TDL de educación infantil en ambos subtest. Los hallazgos sugieren que las dificultades propias de los niños con TDL impactan el aprendizaje matemático, especialmente en los niños más pequeños, por lo que resulta imperante disminuir las barreras que obstaculizan su proceso de aprendizaje.

The effect of pursed-lip breathing combined with number counting on blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive urgency patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Hypertensive urgency (HT urgency) is an alarming sign of uncontrolled hypertension. It is aggravated by nonadherence to medication, as well as psychosocial stress. Mindfulness is beneficial for reducing stress, while deep and slow breathing is effective for lowering blood pressure (BP). In our study, we aimed to assess BP and heart rate effects in HT urgency patients practicing pursed‐lip breathing and number counting (PLB with NC)—a practice that promotes mindfulness with deep/slow breathing patterns. In a randomized controlled trial, 110 patients were equally allocated to intervention and control groups. The intervention group was trained and encouraged to do PLB with NC during their emergency room admission, while the control group received conventional medical care. The mean systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), and HR of the intervention group in the 3rd hour were significantly lower than the baseline values at −28.2 mm Hg (95%CI;‐23.5 to −32.4), −17.1 mm Hg (95%CI;‐14.2 to −20.0), and −4.9 beats per minute (bpm) (95%CI;‐4.0 to −5.8), respectively. In the control group, both the mean SBP and DBP were also significantly lower in the 3rd hour. However, HR reduction was inconclusive. When the two groups were compared, a greater degree of reduction was found in the intervention group for SBP (9.80 mm Hg, 95%CI; 4.10 to 15.50), DBP (7.69 mm Hg, 95%CI; 3.61 to 11.77), and HR (3.85 bpm, 95%CI; 1.99 to 5.72). In conclusion, PLB with NC was effective for lowering BP and HR. It might be used as a complementary treatment for HT urgency patients.

Detecting human impacts: non-pollen palynomorphs as proxies for human impact on the environment

Abstract Non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) are widely used to detect human activities, in addition to the anthropogenic indicators used in palynology. This paper first tries to determine the best way to approach most probable number (MPN) counting for young scientists. It then looks at the anthropogenic indicators and the different types of human activity that can reveal the studied taxa. Among the different fungal spores, coprophilous fungi are very useful to evidence pastoral activities and grazing pressure. Numerous taxa related to dung are also indicators of decaying organic matter and deserve our attention. Erosion processes due to human activities increase the representation of fungal spores. Development of carbonicolous fungal spores in association with fire and algal assemblages due to eutrophication are also considered. Indeed, studies focusing on modern analogues have greatly improved our understanding of spore taphonomy, and the relationship between spore abundance and local livestock biomass and composition.

Кибервиктимизиция. Исследовательская матрица

The article presents an analysis of the cybervictimization phenomenon. The author justifies the use of an integrative (interdisciplinary) approach to the study of this problem, proposes the definition of the term under study as a process or end result of becoming a crime victim in the sphere of unified computer networks. A theoretical and methodological matrix for the analysis of cybervictimization (PCPPE model) was developed. The model includes five system characteristics of cybervictimization, the comprehensive study of which to a maximum extent will simplify the understanding of the essence of the object of study. These characteristics include: profiling, conditionality, prevalence, predictability and epidemicity. Each of these aspects is explained in detail: the author developed a detailed nomenclature of cybervictimization forms. The problems of identifying its extent, as well as the determinant role of gender, age, behavioral and personal factors are discussed in the article, and a list of key cybervictimization acts is formulated. This meta-analysis includes thirteen global categories and about seventy of its accent forms. Among the global categories the following ones are identified: threats, harassment, illegal interest, infringement, insult, spoofing, disclosure, compulsion, seizure, infecting, access and use. The prevalence rates of cybervictimization on the example of the United States (Internet Crime Report) are also studied, certain aspects of the methodology of cyber victim number counting are considered.

Thyroid hormone plus dual-specificity phosphatase-5 siRNA increases the number of cardiac muscle cells and improves left ventricular contractile function in chronic doxorubicin-injured hearts.

Rationale: Doxorubicin is a widely used anticancer drug. However, its major side effect, cardiotoxicity, results from cardiomyocyte loss that causes left ventricle (LV) wall thinning, chronic LV dysfunction and heart failure. Cardiomyocyte number expansion by thyroid hormone (T3) during preadolescence is suppressed by the developmental induction of an ERK1/2-specific dual specificity phosphatase 5 (DUSP5). Here, we sought to determine if a brief course of combined DUSP5 suppression plus T3 therapy replaces cardiomyocytes lost due to preexisting doxorubicin injury and reverses heart failure.Methods: We used in vivo-jetPEI to deliver DUSP5 or scrambled siRNA to ~5-week-old C57BL6 mice followed by 5 daily injections of T3 (2 ng/µg body weight). Genetic lineage tracing using Myh6-MerCreMer::Rosa26fs-Confetti mice and direct cardiomyocyte number counting, along with cell cycle inhibition (danusertib), was used to test if this treatment leads to de novo cardiomyocyte generation and improves LV contractile function. Three doses of doxorubicin (20 µg/g) given at 2-weekly intervals, starting at 5-weeks of age in C57BL6 mice, caused severe heart failure, as evident by a decrease in LV ejection fraction. Mice with an ~40 percentage point decrease in LVEF post-doxorubicin injury were randomized to receive either DUSP5 siRNA plus T3, or scrambled siRNA plus vehicle for T3. Age-matched mice without doxorubicin injury served as controls.Results: In uninjured adult mice, transient therapy with DUSP5 siRNA and T3 increases cardiomyocyte numbers, which is required for the associated increase in LV contractile function, since both are blocked by danusertib. In mice with chronic doxorubicin injury, DUSP5 siRNA plus T3 therapy rebuilds LV muscle by increasing cardiomyocyte numbers, which reverses LV dysfunction and prevents progressive chamber dilatation.Conclusion: RNA therapies are showing great potential. Importantly, a GMP compliant in vivo-jetPEI system for delivery of siRNA is already in use in humans, as is T3. Given these considerations, our findings provide a potentially highly translatable strategy for addressing doxorubicin cardiomyopathy, a currently untreatable condition.

The Role of Non-symbolic and Symbolic Skills in the Development of Early Numerical Cognition from Preschool to Kindergarten Age

ABSTRACT The development of (early) numerical cognition builds on children’s ability to understand and manipulate quantities and numbers. However, previous research did not find conclusive evidence on the role of symbolic and non-symbolic skills in the development of (early) numerical cognition. The aim of the current study was to clarify the relation between different types of non-symbolic quantity skills, symbolic numerical skills and early numerical cognition. A sample of 43 children was tested at the age of 3.5 years and at the age of 5 years. At 3.5 years, non-symbolic number line estimation, non-symbolic quantity comparison and symbolic enumerating skills were measured. At 5 years, early numerical cognition, defined as symbolic number line estimation and counting, were measured It was found that non-symbolic number line estimation at 3.5 years could predict both symbolic number line estimation and counting at 5 years. Enumerating at 3.5 years could only predict counting at 5 years. This suggests that both non-symbolic and symbolic skills play a role in the development of early numerical cognition, although enumerating skills do not transfer to all types of early numerical cognition. Furthermore, not all non-symbolic skills seem to play an important role in the development of early numerical cognition. The results suggest that non-symbolic quantity comparison does not contribute much to the development of early numerical cognition. Associations between non-symbolic quantities and space, operationalized here as non-symbolic number line estimation, seem central to the development of early math from preschool to kindergarten age.

Validation of the single-platform ISHAGE protocol for enumeration of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood in a Brazilian center

BackgroundThis study aims to validate the single-platform method for enumeration of CD34+ cells, by comparing the performance of two different commercial kits, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of the AccuriTM C6 cytometer in providing direct counts of absolute cell numbers. MethodWe evaluated 20 samples from umbilical cord blood (UCB), comparing the two different methodologies for enumeration of CD34+ cells: single and dual-platform. For the assessment of the single-platform, Procount and SCE kits were used, both of which use fluorescent beads as a counting reference to obtain absolute CD34+ cells numbers. Moreover, after the acquisition of samples in flow cytometer AccuriTM C6, following the protocol established for each kit, the number of CD34+ cells was recalculated, considering the cell count provided by the AccuriTM C6. Main ResultsIn our analysis, the results showed a strong correlation between the number of CD34+ cells/μL (r2=0.77) when comparing the SCE kit and the current dual-platform method. On the other hand, the comparison between Procount kit and dual-platform results showed a moderate correlation for the number of CD34+/μL cells (r2=0.64). ConclusionOur results showed that the AccuriTM C6 flow cytometer can be used safely, applying both the dual and single platform analysis strategy. Considering the ISHAGE protocol-based single-platform approach, as the most appropriate methodology for CD34+ cells enumeration, our results demonstrated that the SCE kit has great potential for national standardization of UCB samples analysis methodology.

Measurement of Erythrocyte Deformability by Automated Image Analysis

We describe here a new method of measuring quantitative parameters of erythrocyte deformability by automated analysis of images obtained using an erythrocyte deformation device, allowing fixation with glutaraldehyde directly within the shear flow. The method for measuring erythrocyte deformability includes capture of images from the device for erythrocyte deformation in shear flow and automatic image analysis, including preprocessing, binarization, identification of objects on images, and counting of the numbers of objects by approximating the objects of interest to ellipses. Processing yielded a coefficient of deformability for each erythrocyte, along with statistical indicators: the distribution function, mean deformability, dispersion, and the coefficient of asymmetry. This method provides assessment of the distribution of erythrocytes by deformability and, thus, additional diagnostic and scientific information; the accuracy of assessments of erythrocyte deformability is increased.

An improved pollen number counting method using a cell counter and mesh columns

BackgroundThe determination of pollen number is important in evolutionary, agricultural, and medical studies. Tree species of the Cupressaceae family cause serious pollinosis worldwide. Although Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is the most important forestry species in Japan, it is also the biggest cause of pollinosis in the country. Japanese cedar trees have been selected for growth speed and superior morphological traits and then cloned. These clones may vary in their pollen production, but there has been little research on how many pollen grains are produced by a single male strobilus (flower). A recently reported method for counting pollen number with a cell counter was applicable to Arabidopsis species and wheat, but was not suitable for Japanese cedar because the strobilus does not open with heating (e.g. 60 °C, overnight).ResultsHere, we report an improved pollen counting method for Japanese cedar using a precise and rapid cell counter in combination with home-made mesh columns. The male strobilus was gently crushed using a pestle. Large and small debris were then removed using 100- and 20-μm mesh columns, respectively. We successfully detected pollen sizes and numbers that differed between two clones using this method.ConclusionsThis improved method is not only suitable for counting pollen from Japanese cedar, but could also be applied to other species of the Cupressaceae family with hard scale tissue covering the pollen. Moreover, this method could be applied to a broader range of plant species, such as wheat, because there is no need to wait for anthesis and debris can be removed efficiently.
