Abstract

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)  is a psychiatric and neurological disorder characterized by repeating experiences, avoidance, and hyperarousal. Brainspotting therapy (BSP) is a new body and brain treatment that claims to be effective in treating trauma and  providing access to the brain. However, limited trials using neuroimaging have been done. A single-subject pretest-posttest design was applied in this study with two subjects (n = 1 PTSD; n = 1 Healthy Control; HC). Thirty sessions with online BSP were given to the PTSD subjects. 18FDG PET measurements and clinical assessment using HAM-A, DASS, and PCL-5 were taken for both subjects before and after treatment. The SDMAC value of brain 18FDG PET derived from NeuroQTMsoftware was used quantitatively between the PTSD and HC subjects to evaluate the glucose metabolism level of the mid-frontal cortex (MFC) and medial temporal cortex(MTC), which is associated with PTSD. Measurements taken post-treatment for clinical assessment exhibited a reduction in PTSD symptoms while PET scans demonstrated varied results. The findings of this study indicate that online BSP is effective for improving PTSD symptoms and has various effects on brain glucose metabolism. The limitations and suggestions of the study are discussed for further research.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to test relationship between work discipline and work environment with employee performance at PT Makmur Dekorindo Lestari Medan. The population in this study were 99 employees and all of them became the total sample in this study as many as 99 respondents. The employee performance scale represents assessments on task performance, work behavior, and counter-productive behavior. The work discipline scale represents assessments on time observance, job responsibility, and understanding regulations. The work environment scale represents assessments on physical work environment and non-physical work environment. The research method used was quantitative research with correlational approach using multiple linear regression equations. The hypothesis put forward that good work discipline and work environment can predict the possibility of a significant relationship in the realization of good employee performance simultaneously considered acceptable by proving the calculated Fcount of 66,653 Ftable of 3,091. The invention in this study reveals that work discipline and work environment have a strong relationship (r=0,762) with employee performance simultaneously. Employee performance is only half of the probability (57,2%) predicted by work discipline and work environment. Employees who can display good work discipline and can perceive good work environment have implication for better employee performance. Other interesting invention in this study amidst development of intergenerational issues reveals that the older the employee, the more contribution of work discipline and work environment in predicting employee performance.Keywords: Employee performance; work discipline; work environment
