Metode COPRAS untuk Menentukan Kain Terbaik dalam Pembuatan Pakaian pada Butik Batik Hatta Semarang by Saifur Rohman Cholil, Mohamad Adi Setyawan

“…The decision making process can be minimized so that errors do not occur, it requires accurate observations and several considerations from decision makers in terms of texture, color quality, quality of materials, and others in determining the best fabric for making clothing in a fast time quantitatively. Butik Batik Hatta is still using a manual system in determining the decision to choose the best fabric for making clothes, this is considered to be less efficient and prone to mistakes, so a decision support system (DSS) is needed. …”

Simplifying SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance using an automated FDA EUA assay by Shivaprasad H. Sathyanarayana, Ashlee A. Robins, Diana M. Toledo, Torrey L. Gallagher, Gregory J. Tsongalis, Jacqueline A. Hubbard, Joel A. Lefferts, Isabella W. Martin

“…SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater using an FDA EUA assay on an automated commercial testing platform performed comparably but with more efficient workflow when compared to two LDTs. This sample-to-answer automated method could save time and labor for surveillance testing, but further validation of its ability to quantitate SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA is necessary.IMPORTANCEThis proof-of-principle study evaluates an off-label use of an automated United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) human diagnostic assay for wastewater surveillance. …”
