ABSTRACT
Background: In the current global COVID-19 pandemic, terminal care in a patient's home has been expanded as a positive choice even for patients suffering from hematological malignancy (HM). Although there are many tools for predicting the prognosis of patients in the terminal phase of solid tumors, there is little information about prognostic factors in patients in the terminal phase of HM, especially patients receiving home medical care (HMC). In comparison to patients with solid tumors, those with HM are more likely to have acute diseases such as acute bleeding and acute infection leading to death. A previous report revealed that HM was a factor associated with aggressive end-of-life care. Because of the various complications associated with HM, it was reported to be difficult to predict the prognosis for patients with HM. Providing patients with accurate information about prognosis is important for them to consider how to spend their remaining life. Aims: In patients in the terminal phase of HM who received HMC, we aimed to validate the usefulness of two prognostic models: Palliative Prognostic Index (PPI), which is an established prognostic model for patients in the terminal phase of a solid tumor, and the prognostic model reported by Kripp et al., which is a prognostic model for patients with HM in a palliative care unit. In addition, we aimed to determine prognostic factors for patients in the terminal phase of HM who received HMC and to develop a more detailed prognostic scoring system. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 136 patients in the terminal phase of HM who were receiving HMC provided by 6 clinics between 2008 and 2022. Medical records relevant to prognosis were collected by a chart review. The effects of possible factors associated with overall survival (OS) were determined by the Kaplan-Meier method and univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. This study was approved by the IRB of Hokkaido University Hospital. Results: Patients characteristics were as follows: male/female, 78/58;age, 25 to 94 years;median age, 79 years;AML, 50 patients;B-NHL, 32;MDS, 24;MM, 13;T-NHL 6;ALL, 5;ATL 2, CMML 2, and PV, 2. According to PPI, there was no significant difference in OS between the intermediate-risk group and the low-risk group (panel A;P = 0.15). By using the prognostic model reported by Kripp et al., we could stratify the patients into 3 risk groups with significantly different survival times (panel B;P < 0.01). However, there was a wide range of survival times in the high-risk group (OS, 0 to 125 days;median OS, 24 days). In our investigation of factors associated with OS, multivariate analyses revealed that there were 7 factors associated with poor OS (panel C). For the development of our prognostic scoring system, each variable was weighed according to the value of the hazard ratio (panel C) and 4 risk groups were shown to clearly discriminate survival (P < 0.01): low-risk group (n = 25, median OS of 434 days), intermediate-low risk group (n = 60, median OS of 112 days), intermediate-high risk group (n = 31, median OS of 31 days), and high-risk group (n = 20, median OS of 9 days). (Figure Presented ) Summary/Conclusion: This is the first investigation of prognostic factors that influence the overall survival of patients in the terminal phase of HM who received home medical care. In comparison to previously reported prognostic models, our scoring system could stratify patients in more detail. Providing patients and medical staff with accurate information about prognosis will lead to a higher quality of life in the terminal phase and better support by medical staff.
ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate people's shopping intentions using e-commerce during the pandemic in Indonesia. The method used in this research is the quantitative method in which the results of the study are used as an assumption and research discussion. Data collection was carried out by questionnaires then measure using t-test. The result can be concluded that the intention to shop using e-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic is influenced using e-commerce features and e-commerce techniques. These results indicate that the intention to shop using e-commerce can increase if the availability of goods in e-commerce is quite complete, the quality of goods sold is very high, normal prices and technical requirement, such as speed, security, and a good e-commerce design system. © 2021 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
According to Covid 19 pandemic every process has to shifting to collaborate with digital technology. One of the field that pushes to shift is Education field. Undergraduate education level, is one of many strategies to improve people competency. In Indonesia, the number of people has steadily increased. However, they have to improve their level of competency to compete with their competitor. According to this condition, many prospective student difficult to find information that their need to decide a place to study. There are many consideration factors that will involved in this decision. Therefore, in this research will build university collaborator system that can support analysis from prospective student perspective to choose education institution. To build this business design this study involve some analysis such as industrial competition will be using Porter Five Force's and supported by Business Model Canvas to define Universia's business model, as well as financial projections for the next seven years. According to the Porter Five Forces model, the information services market around universities still has a lot of room for new entrants. The results of the business model canvas analysis show that, despite being a newcomer to the sector, Universia has a number of value propositions that its competitors do not. Universia's product will be generated in the web based application. The application will be designed using Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) in conjunction with the Extreme Programming approach, which includes steps such as planning, designing, coding, and testing. The result of this study is a system collaborator that can be bridge between prospective student and university, so the prospective student can easily find the information that their need to choose university. © 2021 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Pandemic Covid-19 has change learning process to use online learning platform to limit interaction between participant of learning and reduce the Covid-19. This shifting has a major impact on education. Even though, many things have been done by education institution, lecturers, and students in adapting to online learning. In this study focus to check the effect of online learning on students' ability to understand the learning process. In this research, we use quantitative approach. To collect the data, this study uses a questionnaire method and in data analysis this study uses descriptive methods. In the results of this research can conclude that there is a positive influence from online learning on student's ability to understand the material. Therefore, higher education institution have to consider online learning to be good so that in the future it can continue to be developed or upgrade so that it can make it easier for students to understand the material and learn effectively and efficiently. © 2021 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Pandemic COVID-19 has been giving the impact that large to the entire community in Indonesia because the pandemic of this, many activities are obstructed, and regulations protocol Health implemented by the government make its people must adjust themselves to abide by the rules that exist. Likewise, in the education sector, this pandemic make learning should be done in online. Learning process would be not as same when face-to-face and each university also has a method of learning that is different to improve the quality of learning that is given to the students. Higher education as learning environment also wanted to know the level of effectiveness of learning online are given and the attitude/behavior of students during follow online learning procedure.

ABSTRACT
The virus Covid-19 has caused enough trouble for the whole world for nearly a year, ever since it first emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. All areas of life are affected in a way or more, especially the education sector. Learning process shifting to be online at home, and it is now commonly referred to as online learning. Despite the now regulated way of learning, debates regarding the effectiveness of online learning are widely circulated. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of online learning, and whether it has positively or negatively impacted the students in any way. The result shows that online learning really has significantly positively impacted students' performance. Their learning achievement, self-efficacy, as well as learning motivation have shown to be greatly affected by this way of learning. The sources of impacts come from the way the learning materials are delivered, how the class is held, and the educators themselves. © 2021 University of Michigan. All rights reserved.
