The study examines how business conditions, demand conditions and the role of government can influence the development of batik clusters in Pekalongan. This research is expected to be able to provide recommendations for both employers and local governments in order to help in optimizing the development of batik clusters. The research applied a quantitative research by engaging multiple regression analysis as an effort to understand the effect of the relationship between independent and dependent variables. In addition, this research was conducted in three largest batik clusters in Pekalongan, Indonesia namely batik cluster of Pasindon, Kauman, and Jenggot. These results indicate that business conditions positively affect the batik clusters development. It implies that the greater both business conditions in a cluster will lead the better the development. Indeed, the demand conditions also have an impact on the cluster development. This finding remarked that demand conditions are variable that need to be considered to development of batik cluster. Lastly, Government’s role is confirmed that positively related to the Development of Batik Clusters. It implies that the more active the government’s role in a cluster will have a good impact on the development of the cluster in certain area.

This research aims to determine the direct and indirect effects of digital literacy, economic literacy, and entrepreneurial skills on the performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in garment clusters in the Bulak tourism industry Depok. Carrying out quantitative research with survey methods, data collection is using a questionnaire technique with 90 respondents, via saturation sampling. This research data analysis uses SPSS software version 25.0. Path analysis is used to determine the direct and indirect effects between variables. The results showed digital literacy, economic literacy, and entrepreneurial skills significantly and positively affect the performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises. The main finding in this study is that digital literacy has the greatest influence on the performance of SME entrepreneurs, both directly and indirectly. The results of the study provide input on performance development strategies for SME entrepreneurs through digital literacy, including digital business relationships, online facilities, and networks. The findings are also complementary to the factors shaping the performance of SME entrepreneurs in the digital age. The research results show that digital literacy has the greatest direct and indirect influence on the performance of SME entrepreneurs; this shows the essential contribution of digital literacy in developing business and marketing networks.

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the timeliness of cooperative financial reporting. The methods of measurement and accountability of financial statements must be timely, as it is critical information for making decision. Factors related to accounting information system problems such as timeliness of financial reporting, accounting information systems, teamwork, and internal control were identified in the study as a model. The method in this research is quantitative by taking survey data. The data were processed using SPSS 25, with a model test and partial test to produce a study to analyze the factors that affect the timeliness of cooperative financial reporting. The samples consisted of 60 cooperatives from the city of Tangerang, in Indonesia. The correspondents have published financial reports for each period of the current year and were a legal entity. Furthermore, primary data were collected by a questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed by multiple linear regression. The results showed that the Accounting Information System, Teamwork, and Internal Control had a positive and significant effect on the Timeliness of Financial Report Submission. Therefore, the cooperative that prepares financial reports in a timely manner has applied the principles of accountability and transparency.

A statistical framework with stiffness proportional damage sensitive features for structural health monitoring

Luciana Balsamo,Suparno Mukhopadhyay,Raimondo Betti 국제구조공학회 2015 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.15 No.3

A modal parameter based damage sensitive feature (DSF) is defined to mimic the relativechange in any diagonal element of the stiffness matrix of a model of a structure. The damage assessment isperformed in a statistical pattern recognition framework using empirical complementary cumulativedistribution functions (ECCDFs) of the DSFs extracted from measured operational vibration response data. Methods are discussed to perform probabilistic structural health assessment with respect to the followingquestions: (a) “Is there a change in the current state of the structure compared to the baseline state?”, (b)“Does the change indicate a localized stiffness reduction or increase?”, with the latter representing asituation of retrofitting operations, and (c) “What is the severity of the change in a probabilistic sense?”. Toidentify a range of normal structural variations due to environmental and operational conditions, lower andupper bound ECCDFs are used to define the baseline structural state. Such an approach attempts to decouple“non-damage” related variations from damage induced changes, and account for the unknownenvironmental/operational conditions of the current state. The damage assessment procedure is discussedusing numerical simulations of ambient vibration testing of a bridge deck system, as well as shake tableexperimental data from a 4-story steel frame.

Optimizing Manufacturing Supplier Selection and Order Allocation Processes using Fuzzy-QFD and Goal Programming: A Case Study in Indonesian Chemical Industry

Suhartini,Anindya Rachma Dwicahyani,Suparno,Hari Supriyanto 대한산업공학회 2020 Industrial Engineeering & Management Systems Vol.19 No.2

This empirical study aims to implement an optimal methodology of a supplier selection process by integrating Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (FQFD) and Goal Programming (GP). We apply the method to a company engaged in chemical industry, under multi item, multi supplier, and multi period environments. Problems encountered in this study are how to select suppliers and determine the optimal order allocation in accordance with company require-ments. We use FQFD and GP to evaluate and allocate orders to suppliers. Four objectives are incorporated, including maximization of good products, on time delivery, and supplier scoring, along with minimization of material purchas-ing cost. We seek to find an optimal solution considering several constraints, such as material requirement and cost estimation, supplier and warehouse capacity, and safety stock. Our results provide insights that the most and the least important technical responses in chemical supplier selection are “supplier experience” and “response to customer or-der”, respectively. Whereas, the most important criteria are “product quality”, “product price”, and “delivery perfor-mance”, while the least important criteria are “return & repair service” and “documents”. The result also shows that the proposed method can achieve better solution compared to the past decision, in term of cost and supplier scoring

Venous Anastomosis with Dorsal Veins Using Additional Incisions after Wound Closure in Metacarpophalangeal Joint Level Replantation

Cho, Sang Hyun,Bahar-Moni, Ahmed Suparno,Whang, Jong Ick,Seo, Hyeung Gyo,Park, Hyun Sik,Kim, Ji Sup,Park, Hyun Chul The Korean Society for Microsurgery 2016 Archives of reconstructive microsurgery Vol.25 No.1

In cases of replantation, accurate closure of all structures, including bone, tendons, arteries, nerves, and veins is essential. Among these, the vein is a weaker structure and is damaged severely in most amputation cases. After fixation of bone, repair of tendons, nerves, and arteries, surgeons often experience difficulty in performing venous anastomoses. We found that in such cases, venous anastomosis is easy to perform using an additional incision after closure of the original wound. In a 33-year-old male patient with amputation of all four fingers at the metacarpophalangeal joint level, venous anastomoses were performed with dorsal veins using additional incisions after completion of the fixation of bones and repair of all other structures and closure of the skin due to surgical site tension.
