    PT bank SULUTGO is one of the companies who are moving in the banking field. One of the best ways to know every branch of branch from pt bank sulutgo is applying the database loss event that may be able to help the process of walking way with good conditions. Application loss event database (LED) is a web-based application used to help banks in inventory of losses damaged or needed by banks and the potential of bank losses and planning of risk response related to operational risk management. Trusted operations.Data of losses are very important for connecting bank risk estimates to experiences of loss with risk management and control decisions

    Background: Tympanic membrane perforation is a hearing problem that has become a health problem in the society. In Indonesia, there are only a few studies regarding tympanic membrane perforation. This study was aimed to observe the frequency and clinical characteristics of tympanic membrane perforation patients.Methods: This was a descriptive study performed from August to September 2014. The data was taken retrospectively from medical records of tympanic membrane perforation patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from January 2011 to December 2013.Results: Of 579 tympanic perforation patients, there were only 214 medical records met the inclusion criteria. The frequency of tympanic membrane perforation patients increased in 2011 it was 28%, in 2013 it was 37.6%. The number of male patients (53.3%) was higher than female patients’. Most patients were in productive age (83.2%). Most patients came with the chief complaint of discharge from ear (36.4%) and the most common etiology was infection (84.1%). Otological examination showed that most patients had unilateral perforation (73.8%). Based on the size of perforation, central perforation (52.3%) was the most common otological finding. From audiogram, most patients had conductive hearing loss (41.5%) with moderate degree of hearing loss (30.4%). Most patients were treated by medications (64.5%).Conclusions: The frequency of tympanic membrane steadily increases with clinical characteristic mostly in male patients in productive age admitted with chieft complain of discharge of ear. The most common etiology is infection. Majority of patients have unilateral central perforation that cause conductive hearing lost. [AMJ.2016;3(1):43–8] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n1.70

    AbstractBackgroundDifferential diagnostics in dementia is challenging. To date, the basic assessment still includes imaging of the brain and cognitive testing with pen and paper. Web‐based cognitive tests however hold potential for standardized and low‐cost screening in clinical workup. How they perform when combined with imaging of the brain is unknown. We therefore evaluated the accuracy of a new web‐based cognitive battery (Muistikko [1]) detecting different types of dementia, when combined with brain MRI, and compared this to traditional cognitive testing and MRI.MethodWe included 229 subjects from two memory clinic cohorts (PredictND and VPH‐DARE), consisting of 188 controls, 29 patients with Alzheimer's dementia (AD), 7 with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and 5 with vascular dementia (VaD) (Table 1). All patients performed a traditional cognitive test battery (consisting of MMSE, RAVLT, TMT‐A and B, Animal Fluency), web‐based cognitive testing and had MRI of the brain. Although Muistikko is composed of seven subtasks, only global cognitive score (GCS) was used as defined in [1]. From MRI, multiple imaging biomarkers were defined [2]. Disease‐state index classifier was developed from the predictors [2]. Cross‐validation was used to calculate balanced accuracy (BACC; average of sensitivities for each diagnostic group). Given the class imbalance, we also calculated prevalence corrected accuracy (PACC).ResultBACC was 66 % and PACC 64% when using the traditional cognitive test battery + MRI. Both BACC and PAC were 69 % when using the web‐based cognitive testing + MRI (Table 2). Of note, since we compare four diagnostic groups, BACC by guessing would be 25%.ConclusionThis study shows that combining web‐based cognitive tests with MRI data results in high accuracy when separating different types of dementia. The results were comparable with the standard traditional work‐up. Web‐based cognitive testing is therefore a promising tool to support the clinician in the daily challenge of differential diagnostics, especially when combined with MRI data.

    Mathematical analysis of a new sensitive-to-shock automotive crash sensor

    In this study, mathematical analysis of a simple and new mechanical sensitive-to-shock automotive crash sensor is presented. The system includes a cantilever beam with a current-carrying wire. Due to the high acceleration generated in a crash, the beam breaks and cut the electrical circuit off. With cutting off the electricity, secondary activations can occur, including activation of the air bag system, unlocking doors and disabling the alarm system. The proposed system is lightweight, low-cost and seems to have acceptable accuracy. Analysis is based on the mathematical equations particularly the Laplace transform method. The results showed that if a hard plastic cantilever beam with height of 8 cm and cross-sectional area of 30.3 cm2 is selected, the system will work well in accidents with speed greater than 40 km/hr
