Bolus is a material that has properties similar to body tissues and is used to maximize the absorbed dose on the skin surface. The purpose of this research was to determine the most optimal treatment to kill fibrosarcoma on the patient’s skin surface by comparing the isodose curve and the value of the radiation absorption dose on the physical bolus (from CT-Scan) and model bolus (TPS). This study used data in the form of bolus images (with a bolus thickness of 0 cm, 0.5 cm and 1.0 cm) and phantom image. Then the data was processed with Treatment Planning System (TPS) and given energy variations in the form of electrons (10 MeV, 12 MeV, dan 15 MeV) and photons (6 MV and 10 MV). The result of this research was an isodosis curve that describes the distribution of the dose and the value of the absorbed dose of radiation received by the skin surface. The conclusion of this research is a bolus thickness of 0,5 cm and an electron energy of 15 MeV, has more even isodose curve (covering the entire tumor) and the maximum absorption dose value were 5720 cGy for physical bolus and 5710 cGy for TPS bolus.
The activity of lifting weights has many risks that can lead to complaints and work accidents such as mistakes in lifting excessive loads, overly bent postures, and other complaints that result in uncomfortable working conditions. This research was conducted to determine the risk level of work posture using the REBA method and biomechanics in lifting weights with different lifting variables. The research were took documentation data, angle and distance measurements by using the Kinovea application, and the data analyzed by using the REBA Assessment Worksheet and biomechanical equations. Based on the results obtained, the activity of lifting burdens on workers from the aspect of the REBA method mostly has a high level of risk category and only 1 worker has a moderate level of risk category. Meanwhile, from the biomechanics aspect, most of them have a risk level in the careful category, 1 worker has a risk level in the safe category, and 1 worker who has lifted a load of 50 kg has a risk level in the dangerous category.
The ground motion velocity of an earthquake can cause material damage and loss. The purpose of this study was to analyze the maximum ground motion velocity caused by an earthquake. The data used were secondary data for earthquakes that occurred in the Lombok area of West Nusa Tenggara on August 5 2018 at 06:46:37 p.m indonesian middle time zone, with the observation areas of Labuan Bajo (East Nusa Tenggara), Waingapu (East Nusa Tenggara), and Maumere (Nusa Tenggara). East Southeast). The data of this research include the coordinates of the earthquake area, the coordinates of the observation stations, the magnitude of the earthquake, and the acceleration value of ground motion as a comparison. Those data furthermore calculated the epicenter distance, the earthquake intensity value, and the ground motion velocity value was analyzed then compared with the ground acceleration value after which it was connected to the MMI scale. The results showed that the ground velocity value of the Labuan Bajo observation area was 3.66 cm / s, Waingapu 0.99 cm / s and the Maumere area 0.98 cm / s with a damage effect according to the MMI category II scale.
The research on the determining machine factor (k) of Shimadzu digital radiograph X-ray machine have been done at the RSUD Dr. Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan. Machine factor should be required in the calculation of radiation exposure which produced by the X-ray machine. Measurement data that have been used as independent variables were current-time, focus distance to the detector and tube voltage variations of 80 kV to 100 kV, while the dependent variable was the S value. Determination of the k value was conducted by weighted linear regression between V2 and using the results of research by Seibert and Morin (2011) for the condition of calibrated X-ray machine. Thus, the reseach has obtained the machine factor of the Shimadzu digital radiograph X-ray machine at the RSUD Dr. Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan.
The aim of this study is to measure the UV intensity received by the welders during working time and compare the results of measured radiation intensity which is obtained with the NAB in Regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 05 of 2018 that is 0,0008 mW/cm2. The reason for using this NAB is for compare value while welding process with the value were allowed from Regulation of the Minister of Manpower. This study has been done in some workshops using the UV Meter and focused on the welders’ eye, elbow and calf area with 10 repetitions in each area. The results for eye area were 0.0749 mW/cm2, for elbow area were 0.0843 mW/cm2and for calf area were 0.0934 mW/cm2and all the results obtained exceed the NAB. The high value is caused by the environmental conditions is open and also affected by indeterminate sunlight, the risks received the welders in watery eye and headache because of the welder are disobey in using PPE while welding process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
