Background: Disturbed postural stability in neck pain (NP) is likely due to abnormal cervical afferent function. Several potential causes requires specific diagnostic tests. The neck torsion (head still body rotated) manoeuvre stimulates cervical but not vestibular receptors and identified abnormal cervical afferent input as the cause in patients with NP compared to healthy controls. Comparison between vestibular and NP subjects is now needed. Aims:To compare individuals with unilateral vestibular loss (UVL), persistent NP and asymptomatic controls. It was hypothesized that neck torsion will increase postural stability in NP compared to both the asymptomatic and UVL groups.Methods: Twenty UVL, 20 persistent NP and 20 asymptomatic control subjects underwent measurement of postural stability on a computerised force plate with eyes closed in comfortable stance under 5 conditions: neutral head, head rotated 45 degrees (left and right) and neck torsion (left and right) . Root mean square (rms) amplitude of sway was measured in the anterior posterior (AP) and medial lateral (ML) directions. Average torsion and torsion difference (average torsionneutral neck) were calculated.Results: NP subjects had significantly greater (p< 0.05) AP sway with average torsion and torsion difference compared to both control and UVL. There were no significant differences between control and UVL and no between group differences for neutral neck, rotation or rotation difference. Conclusion:The results of the study suggest that the torsion manouever may identify cervical afferent causes of disturbed postural stability. This is important for guiding assessment and management of balance disturbances in patients.
Today, the spread of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to impact on world public health and bring about considerable human suffering partly due to government policies on reducing the spread. COVID-19 has significantly affected human health and it has impacted on the occupation of vulnerable groups such as tour guides, drivers and shop assistants. Of these, the present study aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 self-isolation policy on the occupation of vulnerable groups in Semarang City, Indonesia. To achieve this objective, this study uses a qualitative method with an ethnography approach considering a rational or non-rational thinking model. The binary opposition thinking pattern pioneered by Lévi-Strauss was used in the interview process with 25 informants in Semarang City, Indonesia. The data analyzed the response pattern of informants through the taxonomy analysis. Three levels of vulnerability among groups relating to occupation were identified; jobs lost, income decreased, and delayed salary. The result of the analysis found that the group who obeyed self-isolation was categorized as a rational thinking; these groups stay at home, do not go to work, and have no income. Besides that, the group who ignored self-isolation is categorized as non-rational thinking; they work, as usual, get their salary, and believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is a disaster and they pray for their safety to God. In conclusion, COVID-19 brings a significant impact on occupation in the forms of postponing, declining, and missing income besides the health effects among vulnerable groups in Semarang city, Indonesia. In avoiding COVID-19 infection, the circumstances of vulnerable groups are worse when self-isolation is required. Thus, this study suggests that the government needs to assist vulnerable groups by focusing on strategic policies, such as strategies for survival, providing access to basic needs, including health, and offering livelihood plans by providing access to medical services and other source of income.
Fish production has become a roadblock to the development of fish farming, and one of the issues encountered throughout the hatching process is the counting procedure. Previous research has mainly depended on the use of non-machine learning-based and machine learning-based counting methods and so was unable to provide precise results. In this work, we used a robotic eye camera to capture shrimp photos on a shrimp farm to train the model. The image data were classified into three categories based on the density of shrimps: low density, medium density, and high density. We used the parameter calibration strategy to discover the appropriate parameters and provided an improved Mask Regional Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) model. As a result, the enhanced Mask R-CNN model can reach an accuracy rate of up to 97.48%.
This article is a summary of several journals that were rereviewed about the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Marketing Strategy. MSMEs are one of the leading driving forces in economic development and play a significant role in the economy. Economic players such as the owners of MSMEs now not only can produce a product, but also must adapt and implement technological developments into their economic activities. So that the marketing strategies of MSME owners become complex and numerous. The purpose of this study is to identify marketing strategies in the development of MSMEs. The data obtained is from the literature studies of existing journals as secondary data. The results obtained show that there are two strategies in the marketing of MSMEs which become priority strategies, namely: (1) The owner of MSMEs applies e-commerce to become a market leader, (2) The owners of MSMEs provide branding to emerge brand image of their products. Keywords: E-commerce, Brand Image, Strategi Pemasaran, UMKM
The purpose of the research is to find out and analyze the attitude of consumers towards products of honda motor vehicles branded vario on PD. Motor Power Muaro Jambi. The number of samples that will be taken is as much as 100 people respondents. Sample withdrawal technique is done in a non probability of simple random sampling. Analysis tools are used multiple linear regression. Research results from theTest F F values obtained to calculate probability with 41.855 of 0.000. Because F count 42.193 > F 2.47 and the probability Table is much smaller than 0.05 regression models then can be used to predict future purchasing decisions (the dependent variable) or it can be said that all independent variables namely Utilitarian Function, the expression value, maintain the ego and knowledge together effect on the dependentvariable consumer purchasing decisions against the Honda brand Vario. The coefficient of determination (R2) above shows the magnitude of the adjusted R2 is 0.640, this means that 64% of the variations in purchase decisions can be explained by the variation of 4 independent variables. The t-test analysis results above is a value t calculate on variable Utilitarian (X 1). variable expression of the value (X 2) Defending the Ego (X 3), variable knowledge (X 4) significance level of 0.000 significance probability α = < 0.05, then Ho denied and Ha is received. This means the variables x 1, x 2,x 3, X 4 positive and significant effect against the decisionKey word: attitude, consumer, purchase
Tulisan ini mendalami pengaruh tanggal kadaluarsa dan label halal pada kemasan produk makanan terhadap keputusan pembelian masyarakat desa Sungai Terap Kecamatan Kumpeh Ulu Kabupaten Muaro jambi tahun 2018. Metode penelitian adalah kuantitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui angket dan observasi. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 90 orang. Analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu, uji validitas, uji reabilitas, analisis regresi linear berganda, uji T, uji F, dan analisis koefisien determinasi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan persamaan regresi linear berganda untuk pengaruh tanggal kadaluarsa dan label halal adalah Y = 0,292 (X1) + 0,436 (X2) + e. pengaruh tanggal kadaluarsa dan label halal bersama – sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian dikarenakan hasil uji F yang dilakukan menghasilkan nilai F hitung˃ F tabel atau 14,551 > 2,71 dengan nilai signifikan (sig) sebesar 0,000˃ level of signifikan0,05. Nilai koefisien determinasinya adalah 0,578 berarti besarnya pengaruh tanggal kadaluarsa dan label halal bersama-sama berpengaruh terhadap keputusan pembelian dilihat dari R2 yaitu 57,8% sedangkan sisanya 42,2% dipengaruhi faktor lain
