ABSTRACT
Resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which requires mankind to practice social distancing, companies and government agencies do not have any options but to send their workers home and practice remote working. With very limited guidance, workers are required to work remotely by utilizing various software facilitated by Internet. The increased dependence on the cyberspace opens up the organization to become highly vulnerable to cyber threats/crimes, which may affect their performance. Hence, organizations need to manage their cyber risk by ensuring that they are capable to manage software security. Motivated from these problems, we have developed a prototype tool, called SSRIDEX tool (Software Security Readiness Index tool) to measure the level of software security readiness index among workers working remotely. This SSRINDEX tool which runs in mobile is usable to measure of the level of software security readiness in organization especially during this COVID-19 pandemic where most workers are working remotely. © 2022 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of human life today, especially in education. It requires all elements of education to adapt and continue learning in the following semester. The application of technology in education improves the ability of teachers to deliver material to students, makes it easier for students to understand the material presented and makes time more effective and efficient. Technology has a significant role in the field of education. The purpose of this study is to provide choices about the effectiveness of learning using telegram, learning technology media devices during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative method, international articles, and similar sources related to learning solutions during a pandemic using telegram media. Online learning using telegram media is an effective alternative to activate classes even though schools have been closed considering that time and place are at risk during the current pandemic. However, it is essential to evaluate this learning technique according to local conditions considering that the distribution of facilities and the ability of parents to provide different online learning facilities to students in Indonesia is still minimal. © 2022 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
Various innovations have emerged since the Covid-19 Pandemic. Innovations that arise are mainly to reduce the rate of disease spread. Studies on the development of robots are still rare when viewed from various studies. This study enriches the conceptual research related to designing a patient care robot that can be controlled remotely. The technology developed is based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This robot can deliver patient needs and communicate with patients through the LCD screen available on the robot. With the design of this Covid-19 patient service robot, patient care can be carried out remotely. This technology has the potential to be developed and optimized according to the needs in the field.
ABSTRACT
Crisis management is one of the government’s primary responsibilities, and it therefore needs to be properly administered. The purpose of this research is to analyze the ability of local government to handle crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study also determines the numerous risks that interfered with crisis management in response to handling COVID-19. The coordination of provincial government was carried out with various stakeholders – local government, the army, the police, and universities – to properly manage the crisis. These results show that the strongest aspects of local government regulation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were control and surveillance, while the weakest element was auditing. © 2021 Mykolas Riomeris University.

ABSTRACT
Background: In Padang city there are a wide variety professional that involved in tuberculosis care. Unfortunately, not all those follow the internationally recommended protocols described in the global Stop TB strategy. These condition lead to difficulty for National TB Program (NTP) to achieve the target so that we need strategy that involve collaboration of variety professionals in term of Public-private mix (PPM) for tuberculosis (TB) care. The aim of this study was to find out the impact of PPM program in Padang City. Methods: This is operational research for tuberculosis care in regard of observation in implementation of PPM program. Result: This program had been driven by cooperation of ten Professional Organizations of health care with financial aid from KNCV Foundation of Indonesia from 2019 to 2020. The activities included meeting, mentoring, supervising, workshop, active case finding and case sweeping in hospital. There were increasing of private clinics that had memorandum of understanding with public health office to merge to DOTS network from 10 in 2018 to 56 in 2020. In regard of notification 31 of them had reported cases. There were also increasing in Private hospital from 11 in 2018 to 17 in 2020 and all of them had reported cases. In 2019 the notification case increased about 384 cases with 271 (75%) had been recorded of receiving treatment. This achievement in notification could not be maintained due to the impact Covid-19 pandemic which decreased notification about 38%. Conclusion: Collaboration of professional organization in PPM activities had positive impact in involving health care provider in DOTS network. This involvement could lead in achievement of NTP target, in other hand Covid-19 pandemic had negative major impact that need to be addressed seriously.
