Background. Non-contrast head CT scans utilizing X-rays are considered the gold standard in emergency units for patients with clinical head injuries. Rotation time is a parameter that influences the radiation dose received by patients. This study aims to evaluate the impact of rotation time on patient radiation doses, emphasizing the ALARA principle. The research findings can assist in optimizing CT scan settings to reduce radiation doses without compromising image quality.. Methods: This quantitative research employs an experimental approach to investigate the influence of rotation time variations on CTDI (CT dose index) and DLP (dose leght product) in non-contrast head CT scans. Results: Calculation of CTDI and DLP values to assess the impact of rotation time variations, using two variations, 1 s and 1.5 s, yielded the following results: CTDI and DLP for 1 s were 20.30 mGy and 239.54 mGycm, respectively, while CTDI and DLP for 1.5 s were 20.43 mGy and 249.26 mGycm. Conclusion: Rotation time variations affect CTDI and DLP values in non-contrast head CT scans, although both values tend to remain stabel. A rotation time of 1 s is considered optimal for CTDI and DLP in non-contrast head CT scans at the Radiology Department of Sunset Vet Kuta Animal Hospital.

Competition between commercial banks is increasingly rapid and complex, causing changes in regulations that are binding on commercial banks. One of the regulatory changes is the application of PSAK 71 which replaces PSAK 55 concerning Financial Instruments. A previous study conducted by Suroso in 2017 simulated the impact of implementing PSAK 71 on bank performance as measured by the capital ratio, namely the Capital Adequacy Ratio. The results of this study stated that there was a decrease in the CAR ratio due to an increase in CKPN which was caused by a change in the CKPN calculation method. This research will measure the comparative influence of CKPN, ROA, and Size as control variables on the CAR ratio at BUKU "2" Commercial Banks. As well as analyzing whether there is a difference in the CAR of commercial banks between before and after the implementation of PSAK 71. The results of the study show that the CKPN, ROA, and Size of the CAR of banks when implementing PSAK 55 has a value of 19.4%. This result is better than the implementation of PSAK 71 which amounted to 14.3%. Apart from that, there is a significant difference in the CAR ratio between before and after the implementation of PSAK 71. This difference is due to the high CKPN and the Covid-19 pandemic forcing banks to hold back credit distribution. So the risk of the bank's RWA has decreased, causing the bank's CAR to increase even though the CKPN has increased, and the bank's ROA has decreased.
