Abstract

ABSTRACT Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) clinics play a critical role in HIV/AIDS control by providing counseling, early detection, and referral for treatment services. Understanding the characteristics of HIV/AIDS patients who access VCT services is essential to identify at-risk populations. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of HIV/AIDS patients attending a VCT clinic in East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. This study employed a retrospective descriptive design using medical records of all HIV/AIDS patients who visited the VCT clinic at Dr. R. Soedjono Selong Regional General Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. The variables included age, sex, occupation, referral source, and risk factors. Descriptive data analysis was conducted using Jamovi software. A total of 157 HIV/AIDS patients accessed VCT services during the 2023–2024 period, with 75 patients recorded in 2023 and 82 in 2024. The majority were male (77%), aged 31–40 years (38%), unmarried (59%), self-employed (73%), and men who have sex with men (MSM) (55%). Most patients were referred from primary health centers (69%). Between 2023 and 2024, the proportion of unmarried patients increased from 38.7% to 43.9%, MSM from 49% to 60%, and hospital referrals decreased from 21% to 3%. The proportion of self-employed patients declined from 81.3% to 65.9%. New occupational categories emerged in 2024, including teachers (4%) and students (5%). The majority of HIV/AIDS patients attending the VCT clinic at Dr. R. Soedjono Selong Hospital were males of productive age with high-risk behaviors. These findings highlight the need to strengthen early detection and targeted education, particularly among high-risk groups. Keywords: Characteristics, HIV/AIDS, VCT Clinic, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province.  ABSTRAK Klinik Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) berperan penting dalam upaya penanggulangan HIV/AIDS dengan menyediakan layanan konseling, deteksi dini, dan rujukan pengobatan. Memahami karakteristik pasien HIV/AIDS yang mengakses klinik VCT penting untuk mengidentifikasi populasi berisiko. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik pasien HIV/AIDS pada Klinic VCT di Kabupaten Lombok Timur Nusa Tenggara Barat. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif retrospektif dengan menggunakan rekam medis seluruh pasien HIV/AIDS yang mengunjungi klinik VCT di RSUD Dr. R. Soedjono Selong periode Januari 2023 hingga Desember 2024. Variabel yang digunakan meliputi usia, jenis kelamin, pekerjaan, sumber rujukan, dan faktor risiko.

Agile Software Development Methods: Review and Analysis

Agile - denoting "the quality of being agile, readiness for motion, nimbleness, activity, dexterity in motion" - software development methods are attempting to offer an answer to the eager business community asking for lighter weight along with faster and nimbler software development processes. This is especially the case with the rapidly growing and volatile Internet software industry as well as for the emerging mobile application environment. The new agile methods have evoked substantial amount of literature and debates. However, academic research on the subject is still scarce, as most of existing publications are written by practitioners or consultants. The aim of this publication is to begin filling this gap by systematically reviewing the existing literature on agile software development methodologies. This publication has three purposes. First, it proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches. Second, it analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion. Third, it compares these methods and highlights their similarities and differences. Based on this analysis, future research needs are identified and discussed.

Software development in startup companies: A systematic mapping study

Context: Software startups are newly created companies with no operating history and fast in producing cutting-edge technologies. These companies develop software under highly uncertain conditions, tackling fast-growing markets under severe lack of resources. Therefore, software startups present a unique combination of characteristics which pose several challenges to software development activities. Objective: This study aims to structure and analyze the literature on software development in startup companies, determining thereby the potential for technology transfer and identifying software development work practices reported by practitioners and researchers. Method: We conducted a systematic mapping study, developing a classification schema, ranking the selected primary studies according their rigor and relevance, and analyzing reported software development work practices in startups. Results: A total of 43 primary studies were identified and mapped, synthesizing the available evidence on software development in startups. Only 16 studies are entirely dedicated to software development in startups, of which 10 result in a weak contribution (advice and implications (6); lesson learned (3); tool (1)). Nineteen studies focus on managerial and organizational factors. Moreover, only 9 studies exhibit high scientific rigor and relevance. From the reviewed primary studies, 213 software engineering work practices were extracted, categorized and analyzed. Conclusion: This mapping study provides the first systematic exploration of the state-of-art on software startup research. The existing body of knowledge is limited to a few high quality studies. Furthermore, the results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

What happens when software developers are (un)happy

The growing literature on affect among software developers mostly reports on the linkage between happiness, software quality, and developer productivity. Understanding happiness and unhappiness in all its components -- positive and negative emotions and moods -- is an attractive and important endeavor. Scholars in industrial and organizational psychology have suggested that understanding happiness and unhappiness could lead to cost-effective ways of enhancing working conditions, job performance, and to limiting the occurrence of psychological disorders. Our comprehension of the consequences of (un)happiness among developers is still too shallow, being mainly expressed in terms of development productivity and software quality. In this paper, we study what happens when developers are happy and unhappy while developing software. Qualitative data analysis of responses given by 317 questionnaire participants identified 42 consequences of unhappiness and 32 of happiness. We found consequences of happiness and unhappiness that are beneficial and detrimental for developers' mental well-being, the software development process, and the produced artifacts. Our classification scheme, available as open data enables new happiness research opportunities of cause-effect type, and it can act as a guideline for practitioners for identifying damaging effects of unhappiness and for fostering happiness on the job.

Mobile-D: an agile approach for mobile application development

Mobile phones have been closed environments until recent years. The change brought by open platform technologies such as the Symbian operating system and Java technologies has opened up a significant business opportunity for anyone to develop application software such as games for mobile terminals. However, developing mobile applications is currently a challenging task due to the specific demands and technical constraints of mobile development. Furthermore, at the moment very little is known about the suitability of the different development processes for mobile application development. Due to these issues, we have developed an agile development approach called Mobile-D. The Mobile-D approach is briefly outlined here and the experiences gained from four case studies are discussed.
