The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture launched a new e-procurement system for schools, known as SIPLah, in June 2019. This paper introduces a dataset comprising responses from middle school principals to a questionnaire focusing on the quality dimensions of the newly implemented e-procurement system and their acceptance of this technology. The dataset encompasses responses from 3110 middle schools, representing nearly all Indonesian provinces, and offers valuable indicators for assessing the system's quality dimensions and acceptance.

Objective: Nonadherence to tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) medication poses a serious threat to the increase in new cases, prevention of transmission, and control of pulmonary TB. The health behavior of patients with pulmonary TB regarding medication adherence is an extremely important issue to investigate. This review aimed to identify the available literature on professional interventions and important determinants for improving adherence to pulmonary TB medication based on a health belief model (HBM).

Since introduced from West Africa at 40 years ago, Faust. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is still the main pollinator agent of oil palm plantation in Indonesia until now. Unfortunately, the success rate of pollination in various regions in Indonesia is relatively different, for example in Sumatra and Kalimantan.

The case of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a global crisis. In addition, more variants of the virus have been discovered with easier transmission and more harmful effects. Thus, understanding the risk factors associated with the susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 is critical for disease control.

State borders are the areas that are vulnerable to the degradation of national identity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes and the behavior of language use among the multi-ethnic Indonesian of predominantly Dayak, Malay, and Chinese who resided on the Indonesia-Malaysia border. The present research applied a qualitative ethnographic approach to document and to describe how a group of multi-ethnic communities participated in building their awareness, attitudes and practices of language as a national identity.

Aim: To explore the added value of diabetes-related genetic risk scores (GRSs) to readily available clinical variables in the prediction of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels after initiation of glucose-regulating drugs.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cohort study in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) from the Groningen Initiative to Analyse Type 2 Diabetes Treatment (GIANTT) database who initiated metformin (MET) or sulphonylurea derivatives (SUs) and for whom blood samples were genotyped. The primary outcome was HbA1c level at 6 months, adjusted for baseline HbA1c.

Objective: The aim was to assess demographic and clinical factors as predictors of short (6 months) and long term (18 months) HbA1c levels in diabetes patients initiating metformin treatment.

Research Design And Methods: We conducted a cohort study including type 2 diabetes patients who received their first metformin prescription between 2007 and 2013 in the Groningen Initiative to Analyze Type 2 Diabetes Treatment (GIANTT) database. The primary outcome was HbA1c level at follow-up adjusted for baseline HbA1c; the secondary outcome was failing to achieve the target HbA1c level of 53 mmol/mol.

Aim: To provide an overview of factors predicting metformin and sulphonylurea treatment response.

Background: A large variability between individuals in treatment response to metformin and sulphonylurea derivatives exists. Understanding which factors determine response to these drugs may pave the way for more individualized therapy.

A 90-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pre-post trial was conducted in four groups of Indonesian children aged 12-24 months: placebo, probiotic, zinc, and a combination of probiotic and zinc (n=12 per group). Microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum IS-10506 of dadih origin was supplemented at a dose of 10(10)CFU/day as a probiotic. Zinc was supplemented as 20mg zinc sulfate monohydrate (8mg zinc elemental).

Geobacillus kaustophilus strain GBlys was isolated along with the bacteriophage OH2, which infects G. kaustophilus NBRC 102445(T). Here we present a draft sequence of this strain's genome, which consists of 216 contigs for a total of 3,541,481 bp, 3,679 predicted coding sequences, and a G+C content of 52.

Alloy formation and chemisorption at bimetallic surfaces formed by vapor-depositing Zn on a Pt(111) single crystal were investigated primarily by using X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), low-energy alkali ion scattering spectroscopy (ALISS), low electron energy diffraction (LEED), and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). A wide range of conditions were investigated to explore whether deposition and annealing of Zn films could produce well-defined, ordered alloy surfaces, similar to those encountered for Sn/Pt(111) surface alloys. These attempts were unsuccessful, although weak, diffuse (2 × 2) spots were observed under special conditions.

The pathways for the reaction of ethanol on model catalysts consisting of Co and CoO films and particles supported on single crystal ZnO(0001) surfaces were studied using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD). On supported metallic Co films and particles ethanol was found to primarily undergo decarbonylation forming CO, H(2), and adsorbed methyl groups. In contrast, supported CoO particles were found to be largely unreactive toward ethanol.

We have developed and evaluated a high-frequency, real-time pulsed Doppler and physiological signal acquisition and analysis system specifically for use in mice. The system was designed to provide sampling rates up to 125 kilosamples/s (ksps) with software controlled data acquisition and analysis in real-time. Complex fast Fourier transforms are performed every 0.

The utilization of ternary sugar solid dispersion systems and the incorporation of these systems into tablet dosage forms were investigated. The dispersion systems were prepared by the fusion method using 50% sucrose-50% mannitol and 50% sorbitol-50% mannitol. Other systems investigated utilized sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol 6000 for comparison.
