Herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) is the leading cause of back pain in old age, occurring as a result of tearing of the fibrous annulus and the nucleus pulposus exiting through the tear. To optimize pathology, fat suppression techniques are needed to suppress fat and fluid. Fat Suppression techniques include Dixon and SPAIR. The use of Dixon is relatively longer but can produce four images at once, while SPIR has the advantage of being more resistant to inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference between T2WI SPIR and T2WI diagnostic image information Dixon Sagital Cut Lumbar MRI with Hernia Nucleus Pulposus (HNP) cases as well as find out which one is better between the two techniques. The type of research used is quantitative research with an experimental approach that uses prospective data aimed at determining the difference in diagnostic image information T2WI SPIR and T2WI Dixon MRI examination of Sagital Cuts. The study population is patients who perform Lumbar MRI examinations with HNP cases at the Radiology Installation of NTB Provincial Hospital for the period May-July 2023. This study applied total sampling, using a research sample of 17 patients. The results showed a difference in image information between the T2WI SPIR and T2WI Dixon sequences on Lumbar MRI examination of Sagital Cut with a p-velue value smaller than α (<0.05), namely in the anatomy of the Spinal Cord with a p-value (0.021), and the anatomy of the Corpus Vertebraewith value p-value (0.001). The T2 Spir sequence is more optimal in showing anatomical information on the Sagittal Cut lumbar MRI examination compared to the T2 Dixon sequence.  due to the more homogeneous emphasis of fat on the anatomy of the Spinal Cord and Corpus Vertebrae

Working from home in response to the global pandemic has brought major changes to the world of work. This research aims to see how working from home is implemented and how it affects employee performance. This study shows that employee performance is significantly affected when working from home. One of the perceived benefits is the flexibility of working from home schedules, which allows employees to adjust work schedules to their individual needs.

If you do not include a photocopy of the BPJS Health Card, the land title transfer document will be held until you submit the requirement.

This study aims to analyze the effect of inflation, financing to deposit ratio (FDR), and operational efficiency on return on assets (ROA) in the financial sector. ROA is an important performance indicator for financial companies, because it reflects the level of profitability of the assets owned. The research method used is regression analysis with annual data from various financial companies during the study period. Inflation is measured using the consumer price index (CPI), FDR describes the ratio between loans provided by banks and deposits received from customers, and operational efficiency is measured by the ratio of operating costs to operating income. The results of this study provide useful insights for the management of financial companies in facing challenges from economic and operational factors. To increase ROA, companies need to consider effective inflation risk management strategies and optimize the FDR ratio, while still focusing on improving their operational efficiency.

Data mining is a technology that plays an important role in supporting data-driven decision making, especially in complex and dynamic higher education environments. In the context of education management, the ability to predict student graduation is an essential aspect because it can help institutions plan strategic steps, intervene earlier, and optimize academic resources.

This study aims to explore and analyze the implementation of the STEAM Learning Model (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in increasing the creativity of students at RA Al-Manshuriyah. The STEAM learning model is an interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in learning. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and used the case study method as the research design. The results showed that the implementation of the STEAM Learning Model at RA Al-Manshuriyah succeeded in increasing the creativity of students. In this context, creativity is measured through indicators such as the fluency of ideas, the ability to think creatively, the flexibility of thinking, and respect for works of art and innovation. The STEAM model provides students with opportunities to develop creative thinking skills through interdisciplinary learning experiences and complex problem solving. In addition, this learning model also stimulates collaboration between students in team projects that allow them to share ideas and collaborate in creating innovative solutions. The implementation of STEAM also increases student adaptation to change and fosters appreciation for art and innovation. The STEAM Learning Model has proven its success in increasing the creativity of students at RA Al-Manshuriyah. These results illustrate the importance of an interdisciplinary educational approach to fostering student creativity in diverse educational settings.
