Singing is a work of art that can not be separated from human life. It then makes a research about develop the art of singing by technology will brings a useful impact for such a wide aspect of human life. This research is trying to synthesize singing voice with TTS (text-to-speech) technology, as it capability to produce sound with certain pronunciation at certain frequency of sound. Inputs that used in the system are texts of song in TXT format that contain the information of numbered musical notation and lyrics in Indonesian. These inputs will converted to a phonetic transcription, for then synthesize of song voice can done based on the transcription. In general, the system made successfully synthesize song voices with some feature that based on the convention of numbered musical notation. Based on 30 people of respondents, the song voice synthesized has 81.71% of accuracy with 6.24% of deviation standard. The syntax of song text also reputed as a user-friendly convention with only up to 3 times re-compilation done to synthesize 8 bar of song text by each of respondents without any error.

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in patients with infection. Procalcitonin is one of the laboratory parameters that is used to differentiate between thesystemic inflammatory responses caused by pathogens and non-pathogens. Neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) is one of the simple laboratory parameters used. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between NLCR and procalcitonin for sepsis and septic shock patients. A cross-sectional prospective correlational analysis study was perfromed on 36 sepsis and septic shock patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung General Hospital during September 2017-May 2018. Statistical analysis was performed using Rank Spearman's and Mann Whitney test. Both procalcitonin and NLCR increased in sepsis and septic shock patients. Procalcitonin level was significantly different in sepsis and septic shock groups (p<0.05), albeit insignificant difference in NLCR (p>0.05). NLCR was significantly higher in gram positive bacteria patient group (p<0.05); however, the difference was not seen for procalcitonin level (p>0.05). Correlation test found a significant positive correlation between SOFA score and procalcitonin (r=0.557 and p<0.01) and no correlation between SOFA score and NLCR (r=0.117 and p>0.05). There was no correlation between NLCR and procalcitonin for sepsis and septic shock patients (r=0.122 and p>0.05). Therefore, no correlation was found between NLCR and procalcitonin for sepsis and septic shock patients.

The research examined the role of financial structure, business drive, and business environment that resulted in external audit service adoption in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within ASEAN countries. Source of data were from the 2015 and 2016 World Bank Enterprise Survey. The research discovers that external audit service adoption is significantly influenced by financial structure, business motivation, and business environment. Additionally, we take into account a number of control variables, including sales, ownership structure, industry sector, and country of origin. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between sales, ownership structure (partnership vs. sole proprietorship), and external audit adoption for SMEs. From a country-of-origin perspective, it is concluded that audit adoption is significantly higher in Malaysia and the Philippines than in Vietnam. However, audit adoption in Indonesia is significantly lower than in Vietnam, both in terms of awareness and implementation. Other points of interest can be seen in the interaction regression between countries, which indicates the degree of complexity associated with audit adoption when country of origin is taken into account. One significant policy implication is that SMEs can leverage external auditor services to support their growth and, in turn, the economy of the corresponding country.

Industri 4.0 ditandai meningkatnya penggunaan teknologi informasi. Toko yang berdiri sejak 1950 ini belum memanfaatkan teknologi informasi dalam promosinya. Tugas akhir ini bertujuan merancang media promosi dengan media sosial Instagram karena pertumbuhan penggunanya tinggi dan media cetak. Penggunaan Instagram dan media cetak bertujuan mempromosikan Toko Sido Mukti untuk dapat bersaing di era industri 4.0. Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan suatu obyek. Teknik perancangan diawali dengan pengambilan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Dari observasi didapatkam data keadaan toko dan lingkungannya. Dari wawancara didapatkan sejarah toko, perkembangan toko, dan keunggulan produk. Data tersebut didokumentasikan dengan rekaman suara, foto, serta video. Tema desain yang digunakan adalah vintage serta ilustrasi cross-hatching. Keluaran akhirnya berupa desain Instagram dan media cetak pendukung lainnya. Kesimpulannya adalah segala jenis usaha sebaiknya mengikuti perkembangan yang ada agar mampu bersaing tanpa meninggalkan keunggulan yang telah ditawarkan. Perancang selanjutnya diharapkan agar mampu mengeksplorasi keunggulan Toko Sido Mukti yang belum dimunculkan.
