Knowledge-Based Performance Management Framework for Small Public Health Facility: A Case Study of Clinic T in City B, Indonesia

/in /by

The healthcare service system in Indonesia is divided into two levels, first-level healthcare services, and advanced-level healthcare services. One of the first-level healthcare services is the small public health facility or clinics. The healthcare system in Indonesia requires patients to seek treatment at a first-level health care system first and prohibits seeking treatment at an advanced-level healthcare system unless emergency or necessary. However, research on the performance management system for clinics is still very minimal. This research is intended to design a performance management framework using Clinic T in City B, Indonesia, as a case study. The flow of research methodology in this study is started with problem identification, continued with framework selection analysis. The selected framework in this study is the Knowledge-Based Performance Management System (KBPMS). Performance framework for Clinic T and the performance indicators are presented, along with the linkage between performance variables and one of the simple ways to show the clinic’s performance for easier evaluation. The proposed framework is expected to be suitable for other clinics in Indonesia and can be used as a foundation for other clinics in designing their own performance management framework.

Peer-reviewed articles/ studies were referred to ascertain the available screening tests, preventive measures, hygiene, neuro-ophthalmic manifestation and management options for HIV patients. Some authors suggest that ocular posterior segment & neuro-ophthalmic manifestation due to HIV infection is not recovered, but few authors suggest that it can be recovered with the help of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in combination with some preventive measures and hygiene.
The Eye-care professional’s responsibility is to spread awareness about the complications related to the eye and their management or preventive measures. Ocular complications are very diverse and relatively frequent in the case of HIV infection. Commonly it is associated with a concurrent diagnosis of depression, anxiety, panic, attack and psychiatric disorders, etc. There are various management or preventive measures like regular eye examinations, follow-up of the HIV patients, following the preventive measures strategies, taking therapy properly, preventing to spread of the infection, etc.

The present experiment “Integrated Nutrient Management in Bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol) Standl.] variety Kashi Ganga under Malwa condition of Madhya Pradesh” was carried out during Kharif season of 2019 -2020 at the Horticulture Experimental Field, College of Agriculture, RVSKVV, Indore (M.P.). The objective of the trial is to study efficacy of soil amendment on growth, yield and quality traits. The experiment consist of 15 treatments and three replication under randomized block design. The treatment T10 (50% NPK+25% Vermicompost +25% Compost) was found significantly superior as compared to other of treatments in following characters like vine length(cm), length of internode /vine (cm), no of primary branches. Treatment T0 (No application of INM control) observed minimum as compares to other of treatments. The treatment T10 (50%NPK+25%Vermicompost+25%Compost) was found significantly good result in phenological characters like no of node /vine up to first male and female flowers, days to first appearance of male and female flower, Treatment T0 ( No application of INM control) observed minimum as compares to other of treatments. The results regarding the yield parameters like days to first picking , avg. fruit weight at every picking (g) ,fruit length (cm) , fruit diameter (cm) , fruit yield /plot (kg), fruit yield (q/ha) number of seeds per pod, pod yield per plant(g) and pod yield (q/ha) were significantly affected by the application of different combination of integrated nutrient management. The maximum result was noted in treatment T10 (50% NPK + 25% Vermicompost + 25% Compost) However, minimum result was noted in T0 (No application of INM control).

Job Description Development in Fulfillment of the Competence of Village Government Apparatus (A Study in Banyumas Regency)

/in /by

A job description is a document containing the functions, duties, responsibilities, authorities, working conditions, and work implementation mechanism. The job description is quite important both for leader and employee, since with this document, they may clearly identify the competence they must meet for their position, with which employee’s professionalism will eventually be built. The result of previous research in Banyumas Regency shows a gap between the competence of the village government apparatus and their position’s standard competence. One of the reasons is an ineffective job description, which means there is no job description arranged entirely and in detail. Local Regulation of Banyumas Regency Number 1 the Year 2016 on the Structure and Working Procedure of Village Government only regulates the main duties and functions, not the job description. This Local Regulation actually mandates the village government to arrange the job description, but in reality, the village government has not performed it. Meanwhile, the village government’s workload gets bigger and more varied since assignments are given by the ministry, provincial government, and regency government. Consequently, the village government apparatuses in Banyumas Regency do not know exactly what competencies they must have to implement their duties and position well. Therefore, this research aims at developing an effective job description for the positions of village government apparatus in Banyumas Regency. This survey research aims at describing the duties of village government apparatus positions comprehensively. The research successfully develops the job description of village government apparatus positions, covering the village head with 25 duties, village secretary with 16 duties, administrative and general coordinator with 14 duties, a financial coordinator with 9 duties, planning coordinator with 9 duties, governance section head with 11 duties, welfare section head with 10 duties, service section head with 9 duties and sub-village head with 5 duties.

Assessment of the Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) Status of Oyese Wetland Ogume Delta State for Cage Aquaculture in Secondary Schools as a Tool for Regiging Education in Nigeria

/in /by

This is an ex-post facto research that investigated the OCPs content of Oyese wetlands. The study answered 4 research questions and tested a hypothesis. To achieve these objectives, Oyese wetland was mapped out into 5 research cells and from each of the research cells, water samples were collected from 10 spots bulked and composites drawn and stored in ice cooled boxes for analysis. The analytical standards adopted were CEAM and ASTM and the instrument deployed for determination of the OCPs was Agilent GC 7890A and Agilent GC 8081. The mean results obtained are; DDT 1.65 µg/l, DDD; 1.72 µg/l; DDE 1.36 µg/l, endrin; 1.72 µg/l and diedrin 0.87 µg/l. The result of the OCPs investigated were subjected to test of significance with ANOVA using SPSS model 21 at 0.05. The p-value is 0.41 thus rejecting Ho. The study recommends that cage aquaculture should not be implemented in Oyese wetland, the pollution source should be identified and plugged, decontamination and remediation should be mandated, this will allow for the deployment of cage aquaculture for pollution free fish product for the produce to meet local and international consumer standards.
