These limitations increase the risks of post implant complications. In this thesis we develop a robotic needle guide to improve prostate brachytherapy needle placement accuracy and trajectory option as well as a pre-operative to intra-operative prostate volume registration algorithm to address the issue of prostate motion and deformation. Our four degrees of freedom robot provides X-Y axes translational accuracy of 0.12 and 0.1 mm compared to the 5 mm accuracy of the standard needle guide. The robot also provides yaw and pitch angulations with 0.050 accuracy which can be used to reach prostate regions blocked by pubic arch interference. The robot is adaptable to conventional brachytherapy apparatus without adding the clinical procedure time and can be used manua...

Method: This case study involved 10 posyandu cadres through indepth interviews and focus group discussions. Results: Cadres serve as health motivators and educators. Caders are able to identify needs, barriers and coordination in providing health services.Conclusion: Posyandu cadres have a high social spirit from a combination of internal and external motivation, resources and potential and experience. With a social spirit it inspires, mengantusiasi, activate, stimulate, move and motivate the community.

Methods: This study used a qualitative method with a case study design and purposive sampling technique, with the cadres of posyandu. Data collection was done by in-depth interviews and focus group discussion (FGD), with triangulation of sources and methods. Results: The role of cadres are as a health motivator, with the extension officers of the health and medical services as well as cadres being able to identify the needs, barriers and help to coordinate in providing health services. Conclusion: Posyandu cadres have high social spirit created by the combination of internal and external motivation, resources and potential as well as experience developing ability, with the social spirit capable of inspiring, activating, stimulating, mobilizing and motivating people.
