Digitalization of Judicial Electronic Archives using the Rational Unified Process Method with An Application Development Framework Using CodeIgniter (Case Study of Pengadilan Tinggi Agama Palembang)

The archiving process at the Pengadilan Tinggi Agama Palembang was still manual, where archive officers must prepare storage areas, sort and classify archives, put files into folders, and create archival data. The increasing number of archives and piling up in storage space makes searching for archives difficult and takes a long time in the process of searching for the required archives. The purpose of this research is to improve the existing system by designing a web-based archiving digitization application. In this research, the system development stage uses the Rational Unified Process (RUP) method with an application development framework using CodeIgniter. Based on the test results using the blackbox testing method, the system can display information on the decision archives graphically, the archive search process quickly, downloads the decision archive documents digitally, digital documents that have been separated by archive type and archive year, so it can be concluded that the archival information system with the application of information technology can facilitate work in processing, storing, reporting to obtain information and can then be used for decision making.

A GEODATABASE FOR MULTISOURCE DATA APPLIED TO CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE CASE STUDY OF VILLA REVEDIN BOLASCO

Abstract. In this paper we present the results of the development of a Web-based archiving and documenting system aimed to the management of multisource and multitemporal data related to cultural heritage. As case study we selected the building complex of Villa Revedin Bolasco in Castefranco Veneto (Treviso, Italy) and its park. Buildings and park were built in XIX century after several restorations of the original XIV century area. The data management system relies on a geodatabase framework, in which different kinds of datasets were stored. More specifically, the geodatabase elements consist of historical information, documents, descriptions of artistic characteristics of the building and the park, in the form of text and images. In addition, we used also floorplans, sections and views of the outer facades of the building extracted by a TLS-based 3D model of the whole Villa. In order to manage and explore these rich dataset, we developed a geodatabase using PostgreSQL and PostGIS as spatial plugin. The Web-GIS platform, based on HTML5 and PHP programming languages, implements the NASA Web World Wind virtual globe, a 3D virtual globe we used to enable the navigation and interactive exploration of the park. Furthermore, through a specific timeline function, the user can explore the historical evolution of the building complex.

Strategies To Teach Physiology in An Era of Declining Lecture Attendance

Lecture simulcasts and web‐based archiving have reduced class attendance among preclinical medical students, even as labs and demos decline. Thus while the basic science years of MD education have historically been the primary arena for physiology instruction, its content experts increasingly face empty seats. In 16 years of running a Respiratory Module for MD‐2 students (175/yr), we have resisted this trend via a menu of opportunities to engage students. Of these, four draw more students than the 30‐40% at lectures. By attendance and student evaluations, the most popular are two where groups of <18 perform: 1) a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) for basic spirometry and plethysmography and then join pulmonologists to discuss new PFT cases (>95% attend); 2) a 7‐stage Human Patient Simulation (HPS) to diagnose and treat a ‘penetrating chest wound of unknown etiology’ (>90% attend). While voluntary, many students attend twice; enthusiastic evaluations lead later classes to arrive with positive expectations. Then all lectures, labs, PFT, and HPS are revisited at weekly Structured Speed Reviews (SSR) summarizing each hour of content in 10 min and are recorded like lectures by Tegrity; >65% attend. Finally, we hold 2‐3 Facilitated Peer‐to‐Peer (FPTP) lunch hours per week. Attended by 15‐20% of students, FPTPs are guided by faculty but students identify concepts to review, complete practice problems, and explore tangential topics of mutual interest. Costs (personnel, facilities, time) and benefits of the PFT, HPS, SSR, and FPTP are evaluated yearly.

Systems Development for Records Archiving and Digital Documents Repository: A Case Study

The presence of vast communication and information nowadays necessitates the need for a system to readily access and transfer data. The study aimed to develop records archiving and document repository to overcome the barrier of server client method of deploying the documents from one place to another and easier data access to its stakeholders. The Sorsogon State College in the Philippines has four campuses which are located strategically in four municipalities of Sorsogon province. Their distance from each other sometimes causes a problem particularly along communication and real time updates. General User Interface (GUI) of the application has been built on top of all web-enabled computers and even to the mobile devices, so it requires only installed web browsers to render the GUI onto their devices regardless of its platform and specifications. The installation of web-based archiving and repository on its main campus enables satellite campuses to connect to the college private server in a cost-effective manner through virtual private network that connects on top of the Internet service provider. This study overcomes the vulnerability of security by means of allowing user credentials to login at the private server using a 1024 bit Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) private/public key exchange and 256-bit Advance Encryption System (AES) encryption through its virtual private network. Contents of the uploaded files were being encrypted at 128-bit to prevent intranet users from sneaking the file contents.

ANKOS Publisher Application System and Its Impact on the e-Resource Evaluation Process

The Publisher Application System (PAS) is a Web-based archiving and online evaluation system developed by the Database Evaluation Group (DEG), one of the working groups formed within the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS). The DEG was formed in 2008 to inquire and evaluate e-resources suited to the needs of the consortium; to follow up similar consortial activities worldwide as well as developments in connection with the scientific publishing industry; and to determine, implement, and improve pricing models in accordance with the prevailing economic, legal, and academic system. Development of the PAS was essential to ensure standardization and sustainability towards a more detailed and effective analysis of e-resources qualifying for evaluation by ANKOS. The PAS played an important part not only in establishing and defining the workflow of the DEG, but also in creating an archive of both the e-resources submitted to the consortium and the applicant publishers/agents submitting these resources. This article outlines the process that started with the foundation of the DEG through the formation of the PAS as well as the present setup of the system. It is also hoped that this case study will have a positive contribution to the processes being followed by the persons and the groups engaged in similar activities.

The Panel Study of Income Dynamics: overview, recent innovations, and potential for life course research

Spanning over four decades, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is the world's longest running household panel survey. The resulting data archive presents research opportunities for breakthroughs in understanding the connections between economic status, health and well-being across generations and over the life course. The long panel, genealogical design, and broad content of the data represent a unique opportunity for a multi-perspective study of life course evolution and change within families over multiple generations. Based on relational data structures and advanced web-based archiving and delivery tools, the PSID has a publicly available web-based facility for users worldwide to create customized data extracts and codebooks based on nearly 70,000 variables from over 70,000 individuals over 44 years. This paper provides an overview of the PSID and its supplemental studies, the Disability and Use of Time Supplement, the Child Development Supplement, and the Transition into Adulthood study, and describes features and recent enhancements that have increased the potential of the archive for studying life course development.

Retrospective web-based multicenter evaluation of 18F-FDG-PET and CT derived predictive factors

Summary Aim: Although predictive factors (PF) for conventional lymphoma therapy are established and frequently used in clinical practice and medical research, the PF for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) have not been fully defined until now. The aim of this multicenter evaluation is to prove the feasibility of the multicenter web-based data collection and to preliminary explore imaging findings and prediction of therapy response in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) following radioimmuno therapy (RIT) with 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan. Patients, methods: We retrospectively analyzed and correlated clinical and imaging data (CT and FDG-PET) before and after RIT as documented by the RIT-Network. Evaluation of treatment response was done on both patient and lesion basis. Every measurable lesion was analyzed in terms of standardized uptake value (SUV), volume (CT and PET) and response. PF were identified using a uni- and multivariate model. A web-based system was used for the documentation and evaluation of clinical and imaging data. Results: 16 patients with at least one PET before and after RIT were eligible for analysis. Concerning response three months postRIT, 5 patients achieved a CR, 6 patients a PR and 4 patients remained with NC. A total of 159 lesions were measured (mean 10 ± 8). In the multivariate model the log lesion volume (p < 0.0001), the total (p = 0.03) and maximum lesion volume (p = 0.05) were predictors for response (CR + PR). Concerning the lesional CR initial small lesion volume (p = 0.009) and its high metabolic activity (p = 0.01) were identified as predictors. The web-based system showed no major disturbances allowing secure data transfer and central image interpretation in a reasonable time. Conclusion: The use of a web-based multicenter archiving system for clinical and imaging data is technically feasible in a multicenter setting and allows a central analysis. This preliminary analysis suggests that FDG-PET may predict the likelihood of response to RIT.

PACS

The goal of the study was to evaluate the acceptance of a web-based picture archiving and communication system (PACS) by orthopedic surgeons 1 year after implementation. One year after the implementation of a web-based PACS all physicians were surveyed with a standardized questionnaire. Questions included: speed of PACS, quality of clinicoradiological meetings, quality of monitors, PACS training, and performance. Data were evaluated separately for the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and the reference group of all other physicians. Among the respondents, 92% of the orthopedic surgeons stated there was a reduction of time required to receive images, and 64% concluded that patient care was faster. Archived images were received in less than 5 min in 82% after PACS and in 8% before PACS. The clinicoradiological meetings improved with PACS in 100% due to beamer presentation. All would recommend a PACS. The equipment to view images in the operating theater was assessed as being good or very good by 83%; monitor quality was judged better for the outpatient clinics (100% good or very good). Conventional radiograms were missed at the ward rounds by 56%. Training for PACS was considered sufficient by 67%, and 15% asked for refresher courses. In the reference group 60% asked for refresher courses. In the comparison of orthopedic surgeons with the reference group PACS was judged better especially concerning the viewing software and quality of monitors. There is an over all acceptance of PACS by physicians outside the radiology department. The availability of images was not only facilitated it was faster as well. However, the quality of monitors in the operating theater should be improved. To achieve sustained success of PACS consistent training on PACS and its features is necessary. Conventional radiograms were often missed at the ward rounds.

A model for digital archiving of radiographs into a searchable database

Digital images are routinely used in orthodontic practices today. Many systems and formats are available for producing, storing, retrieving, viewing, and sharing these images. The digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) standard is designed to ensure that these systems and formats are compatible, so that an image produced in a small private practice today can be viewed next year in a large hospital. The purpose of this article is to describe a method for laser scanning and digitization of analog (film) radiographs that meets DICOM standards and allows for web-based archiving, searching, and retrieval.

Cautious but Decisive

The Universidad Francisco Marroquín (UFM), a private university, was founded in Guatemala City in 1971. UFM follows a “cautious but decisive” strategy for information services development: a promising and potentially disruptive technology is researched and experimented with on a small scale before campus-wide adoption. The library has provided an ideal testing ground for Ethernet wiring, wireless access, CD-ROMs, multimedia, Internet, and web-based application development. In addition, two spinoff projects have blossomed: UFM's integrated library system is supplied by glifos.com to regional libraries, and the New Media department works with indexed streaming video for web-based learning and local resource archiving.

Development of a web-based picture archiving and communication system using satellite data communication.

Using the JAVA language we have developed a Web-based picture archiving and communication system (PACS) which allows a remote hospital to access medical images. An asymmetric satellite data communication system (ASDCS) provided a receive-only link for data delivery and a conventional terrestrial link (which could be the conventional telephone network) allowed data transmission. The satellite communication link was 10-30 times faster than the conventional terrestrial link. To increase image transmission speeds over the Internet connection, JPEG and wavelet compression methods were used. The resulting images were evaluated quantitatively by measuring the peak signal:noise ratio and qualitatively by radiologists. Compression ratios of 10:1 or less were deemed acceptable for diagnostic purposes. The system appears to be suitable for teleradiology and telemedicine.
