The Impact of Mobility Patterns on the Spread of the COVID-19 in Indonesia

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been spreading rapidly across the world and infected millions of people, many of whom died. As part of the response plans, many countries have been attempting to restrict people’s mobility by launching social distancing protocol, including in Indonesia. It is then necessary to identify the campaign’s impact and analyze the influence of mobility patterns on the pandemic’s transmission rate. Objective: Using mobility data from Google and Apple, this research discovers that COVID-19 daily new cases in Indonesia are mostly related to the mobility trends in the previous eight days. Methods: We generate ten-day predictions of COVID-19 daily new cases and Indonesians’ mobility by using Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm to provide insight for future implementation of social distancing policies. Results: We found that all eight-mobility categories result in the highest accumulation correlation values between COVID-19 daily new cases and the mobility eight days before. We forecast of the pandemic daily new cases in Indonesia, DKI Jakarta and worldwide (with error on MAPE 6.2% - 9.4%) as well as the mobility trends in Indonesia and DKI Jakarta (with error on MAPE 6.4 - 287.3%). Conclusion: We discover that the driver behind the rapid transmission in Indonesia is the number of visits to retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, and parks. In contrast, the mobility to the workplaces negatively correlates with the pandemic spread rate.
C-Band SAR Winds for Tropical Cyclone Monitoring and Forecast in the South-West Indian Ocean

Tropical cyclone (TC) monitoring and forecast in the South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) basin remain challenging, notably because of the lack of direct observations. During the 2018–2019 cyclone season, S-1 Sentinel SAR images were acquired, as part of the ReNovRisk-Cyclone research program, giving access to unprecedented detailed TC wind structure description without wind speed limitation. This paper assesses the quality of these data and the impact of their assimilation for TC forecasts. SAR observations are compared with analyses from a convection-permitting, limited area model AROME OI 3D-Var and with wind products used for operational TC monitoring. Their bias depends on the angle of incidence of the radar and the observation error is larger for extreme wind speed. The impact of SAR assimilation in AROME OI 3D-Var is assessed through two case studies. In the TC GELENA case, it leads to a better TC positioning and an improved representation of inner and outer vortex structures. The TC intensity reduction in the analysis propagates through subsequent analyses and it has an impact on forecasts for around 12 h. In the TC IDAI case, the 3D-Var does not manage to reproduce TC intensity captured by SAR. In both cases, the modification of the initial conditions has little influence on the intensification rate of the model forecasts. Sensitivity tests show that these results are robust to different observation errors and thinning.
Using Absolute Humidity and Radiochemical Analyses of Water Vapor Samples to Correct Underestimated Atmospheric Tritium Concentrations

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) emits a wide variety of radioactive air contaminants. An extensive ambient air monitoring network, known as AIRNET, is operated on-site and in surrounding communities to estimate radioactive doses to the public. As part of this monitoring network, water vapor is sampled continuously at more than 50 sites. These water vapor samples are collected every two weeks by absorbing the water vapor in the sampled air with silica gel and then radiochemically analyzing the water for tritium. The data have consistently indicated that LANL emissions cause a small, but measurable impact on local concentrations of tritium. In early 1998, while trying to independently verify the presumed 100% water vapor collection efficiency, the author found that this efficiency was normally lower and reached a minimum of 10 to 20% in the middle of summer. This inefficient collection was discovered by comparing absolute humidity (g/m{sup 3}) calculated from relative humidity and temperature to the amount of water vapor collected by the silica gel per cubic meter of air sampled. Subsequent experiments confirmed that the elevated temperature inside the louvered housing was high enough to reduce the capacity of the silica gel by more than half. In addition, their experiments also demonstrated that, even under optimal conditions, there is not enough silica gel present in the sampling canister to absorb all of the moisture during the higher humidity periods. However, there is a solution to this problem. Ambient tritium concentrations have been recalculated by using the absolute humidity values and the tritium analyses. These recalculated tritium concentrations were two to three times higher than previously reported. Future tritium concentrations will also be determined in the same manner. Finally, the water vapor collection process will be changed by relocating the sampling canister outside the housing to increase collection efficiency and, therefore, comparability to the true ambient concentrations of tritium.
AGNs in small galaxy systems: comparing the main properties of active objects in pairs, triplets, and groups

We perform a comparative study of AGNs in pairs, triplets and groups. To this end we use the Duplancic et al. catalogue of small galaxy systems and consider BPT and WHAN diagnostic diagrams to select optical AGNs. Also we identify mid-IR AGNs by using WISE data. We performed a comparison between the different AGN classification methodologies and study the AGN fraction in pairs, triplets, and groups with four to six members. We also analyse the main properties of Optical and mid-IR AGN hosts and the influence of environment on the active nuclei phenomena in these small galaxy systems. Our results show that, regardless the specifically adopted classification scheme, the fraction of AGN in pairs and triplets is always higher than the corresponding fraction in groups. Moreover, the fraction of powerful AGNs in pair and triplets is about twice the fraction of regular AGNs. We also find a remarkable difference between Optical and mid-IR AGNs in groups, where host galaxies of WISE AGNs are less massive and concentrated, with young stellar populations and blue colours. Also all WISE AGNs in groups have a very close companions and reside in an intermediate global density environment. Galaxy triplets show a larger AGN fraction for galaxies with a close nearest neighbours, while pairs present a nearly constant AGN fraction regardless the distance to the nearest companion. Our studies highlight the important role of interactions, besides the global environment dependence, in the activation of the AGN phenomenon in small galaxy systems.
Young chinese children's remote peer interactions and social competence development during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way young children engage in peer communication. The aim of this study was to explore how young children engaged in peer interaction remotely by examining young children's multimodal interactions during the pandemic. Visual and audio data posted to Douyin (China's most popular live-streaming site) between January 23, 2020 and May 6, 2020 were collected and analyzed. Mediated discourse analysis was used to explore young children's remote interactions as captured on video recordings. Results support the critical role of play materials and tangible tools in mediating young children's peer interactions and participation in remote environments.
Surface temperature‐related variations in the East Asian summer monsoon during three warming stages

The global mean surface temperature has experienced different warming stages, but there is less work on discussion of the regional climate changes under the background of different global warming rates. This study investigated the surface temperature (ST)‐related trends in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and underlying mechanisms during three warming stages, with a view to develop a new understanding of the responses of the EASM to global warming. Based on the statistical method of piecewise linear regression (PLR) to ST anomaly time series, the ST variation process from 1958 to 2014 has been divided into three stages with different linear trends: 1958–1975 (hiatus), 1976–1997 (acceleration) and 1998–2014 (slowdown). During the first stage, accompanied by two anomalous lower‐level cyclones, a weakening trend of the southerly winds over eastern China is observed. The enhanced cyclone over the Yellow Sea, with local ST cooling, is associated with the CGT‐like (circumglobal teleconnection) pattern, while the other one over the Philippines can be attributed to the local sea surface temperature (SST) warming. The ST‐related anomalous EASM circulation exhibits an enhanced lower‐level anticyclone over the northern Philippine Sea during the second stage. The warming around Lake Baikal and the phase change of the East Atlantic/Western Russia (EAWR) pattern can weaken upper‐level East Asian jet stream (EAJS) and then provide a favourable condition for the descent related to the lower‐level anticyclonic anomaly. As for the third stage, the anomalous ST and related EASM circulation both display a dipole pattern. Through influencing the meridional thermal contrast and distribution of convergence over East Asia (EA), the interaction between anomalous ST and EASM circulation may be the major mechanism that results in the increased (decreased) ST and enhanced barotropic anticyclone (cyclone) over southern (northern) EA.
Description of the Phosphorus Sorption and Desorption Processes in Coarse Calcareous Sandy Soils

Abstract In order to understand and predict the behavior of phosphorus (P) in calcareous sandy soils, sorption and desorption studies were carried out. Two main processes were distinguished: a fast, reversible phosphate reaction (within 1 day), which can be described by the Langmuir equation, and a precipitation reaction, which can be described by a time-dependent Freundlich equation. The maximum phosphate sorption capacity in the top 50 cm of the soil ranged from 3 to 6 t P2O5 · ha−1. About 85% to 95% of the maximum amount of P bound was poorly soluble; the remaining portion of bound P determines the ortho-P concentration in soil solution under desorption conditions. The breakthrough curves of the two column experiments were described reasonably well by the proposed process description and the associated parameters, which were derived from batch experiments.
Applying Interactive Teaching Experience and Technology Action Puzzles in Disaster Prevention Education

This study incorporated technology action puzzle and obstacle challenge activities in the course design. Using the 921 Earthquake in Taiwan as the theme, this study integrated the content of various subjects and course modules and applied information technology to present the humanistic care elements. The subjects of this study were Grade 9 students of a public middle school in central Taiwan. After the interactive operation introduction and theme film viewing, the students were divided into groups to participate in the technology action puzzle and obstacle challenge activities. Students’ learning performance using smart technological tools and overall course feedback were evaluated from the aspects of building structure safety knowledge, disaster prevention and mitigation, integrated interdisciplinary thinking, and problem-solving abilities through the course planning and quasi-experimental design. The results show that (1) in terms of the learning achievement scale, the pre-test and post-test of paired samples reached statistical significance; (2) in terms of the learning response scale, the mean of the Likert five-point scale reached above 4.0; (3) the results of mediating regression analysis show that, compared with the traditional classroom teaching mode, the interactive teaching experience and technology action puzzle have a mediating effect on learning performance and overall course feedback.
Representations of ‘Other’ Immigrants in the Agendas of Politicians of Immigrant Background: A Content Analysis on the Case of the Netherlands

A growing literature in Western Europe investigates the role of immigrant minority politicians in representing voters with whom they share similar backgrounds. However, not much has been said on the possible contributions of those minority representatives in framing other sorts of immigrants. This research examines how Members of the Parliament (MPs) of immigrant minority origin frame asylum related and other kinds of immigration in their parliamentary work. This is a significant research question as it sheds light upon immigration related policy perspectives constructed by those who themselves have immigrant backgrounds. To answer this question, the researcher conducted a content analysis on parliamentary questions posted by MPs with migratory backgrounds. The paper particularly focuses on differences between representatives with migratory backgrounds by considering party ideology, gender and ethnic identity starting from early 2000’s. The qualitative nature of the research allows space to reveal unforeseen (intersections of) explanatory factors. The Dutch case has been particularly selected for its tradition of group representation under the notion of multiculturalism.
English Hyphenated Compounds

Hyphenated compounds are common in English. But compound hyphenation has seldom been thoroughly addressed in the literature on English compounding. This article provides a detailed examination of a corpus of 1,561 English hyphenated compounds collected by the author. Various patterns of English hyphenated compounds and their morphosyntactic behavior are discussed in terms of several existing claims or assumptions about English compounding. The results are that the vast majority of English hyphenated compounds are adjectival rather than nominal, that nouns are the most active class of component stems of English hyphenated compounds, that most English hyphenated compounds are right-headed, that 3-or-more-stem hyphenated compounds, derived from phrases, follow the sequence of the corresponding phrase structure constituents, that hyphenation is not necessarily transitional in the evolution of an English compound, and that English neologistic and nonce compounds display a very strong tendency toward hyphenation.
Effect of Restoration Actions on Organic Carbon Pools in the Lagoon—Delta Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Colombian Caribbean

Mangroves provide multiple ecosystem services and are essential for mitigating global warming owing to their capacity to store large carbon (C) stocks. Due to widespread mangrove degradation, actions have been implemented to restore them worldwide. An important representative case in Colombia is the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta’s restoration plan. This management intervention focused on restoring the natural hydrological functioning after massive mangrove mortality (~25,000 ha) due to soil hyper-salinization after river water input from the Magdalena River was eliminated. A partial recovery occurred during subsequent years, and hydrological management is still being implemented today. To understand how the degradation and subsequent management have affected mangrove C stocks, we compared C stocks in stands with different intervention levels reflected in their current forest structure. We found that the total C stock (398–1160 Mg C ha−1) was within the range measured in other neotropical mangroves without vegetation deterioration. The aboveground C was significantly higher in the stands where hydraulic connectivity was restored. By contrast, the belowground C was higher in the stands with low hydraulic connectivity due to channel clogging and a lack of sufficient maintenance. Our results show that hydrological management measures influenced above- and belowground C stocks, even at a 2 m depth. In addition, a strong indirect relationship useful for estimating carbon content from organic matter content was found.
Constructing fatherhood in the North and South: Paid parental leave, work and care in Iceland and Spain

While Iceland and Spain historically belong to two different welfare regimes, both countries have enacted fathers’ quotas to their systems of paid parental leave. From the year 2000, Iceland has provided fathers with a three-month-long quota, and Spain introduced a 13-day fathers’ quota in 2007. Using survey data, the article applies structural equation modelling to learn of the interconnection between parents’ leave use, their working hours and fathers’ participation in care of their children. Fathers’ leave use was found to be associated with their involvement in care in both countries, both directly and indirectly, through the reduction in working hours. Icelandic fathers were more engaged in childcare than fathers in Spain, which could be explained by the longer period of paid leave available for fathers in Iceland.
Pandemic and Partisan Polarisation: Voter Evaluation of UK Government Handling During Covid‐19

Abstract What is the effect of pandemics on partisan perceptions of government competence? Taking the case of Covid‐19 in the UK, we explore how voters’ assessments of the government’s handling of the economy and health were affected by four events: the first UK Covid‐19 death; the national lockdown; Boris Johnson’s hospitalisation; and Cummings’ scandal. Using a large representative weekly survey in the last year totalling over around 30’000 respondents, our results show that Labour voters had the worst assessments of government handling. The first death deteriorated perceptions of government handling of health among both Labour and Conservative voters, while Boris Johnson’s hospitalisation improved perceptions among most voters. Lockdown improved the perception of health handling but at the cost of more negative perceptions of its handling of the economy. The Cummings scandal had a negative effect on perceptions of government handling of economy but surprisingly improved perceptions of its handling of health.
Rapid setup and management of medical device design and manufacturing consortia: experiences from the COVID‐19 crisis in the UK

The COVID‐19 pandemic caused severe ventilator shortages in many healthcare systems worldwide. The UK government reacted to this with a three‐pronged approach of importing, up‐scaling existing production and supporting new design projects. The latter two parts – labelled the UK Ventilator Challenge – included over 50 companies from various sectors including the automotive and aerospace industries. Nine multi‐partner consortia and five single‐company projects were initiated with varying approaches. This study explores lessons learned during the setup and management of these medical device designs and manufacturing consortia. A qualitative survey methodology was employed, and 32 semi‐structured stakeholder interviews were conducted. The primary data was triangulated through the collection of 42 secondary data sources such as webinars and radio interviews. Transcription and a three‐step data analysis process of thematic coding identified six lessons learned. The analysis of the data showed that a strong, appealing common goal can enable employee motivation and trust as well as align priorities across all companies involved. This facilitates the involvement and fruitful collaboration of companies with varying sizes and fields of expertise. Furthermore, selecting the most suitable employees with specialist knowledge for high‐priority projects and empowering them to make decisions can have a positive effect on project performance. The findings from the study complement existing literature on new product development and crisis management processes. In addition, the results uncover potential long‐term effects such as more openness for cross‐sector collaborations, which can serve as interesting sources for further research.
Effects of Neurofeedback Training on Anxiety Symptoms Among University Students

Previous studies reported that university students are a population at risk of that mental health problems. The most common intervention for anxiety disorders are pharmacological and/or nonpharmacological strategies such as psychotherapies. Besides that, there is a growing interest neurofeedback training for various mental health conditions including depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), stress and anxiety. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of neurofeedback training in reducing symptoms of anxiety. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was employed in this study. Thirty eight students (M= 22.47 years, SD= .69 years) with moderate and severe anxiety symptoms based on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) were randomly assigned to either neurofeedback training or waiting list. The neurofeedback group undergone a total of 20 neurofeedback training (3 sessions per week). The post test results indicated that neurofeedback training significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety in the neurofeedback group than those of in the waiting list group in both BAI and the GAD-7 instruments with effect size ranged from . 49 to . 62. Wilcoxon signed–rank test was conducted to assess the statistical differences between the pre-scores and post-scores of BAI and GAD-7 measurements within the NFT group. Significant differences within the NFT group was found between the pre-test and post-test scores in the BAI and GAD-7 measurements. In general, the current study suggest that neurofeedback was an effective treatment for anxiety symptoms among university students.
The Effectiveness of Online Group Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy on Self-Esteem and Forgiveness in Young Adult Women after Romantic Relationship Break Up

The end of a romantic relationship may impact an individual, one of which is low self-esteem that causes the individual to feel difficult, hesitant, and reluctant to start another relationship with a new partner. It also can affect the psychological well-being of the individual. Self-esteem is one crucial aspect of human development, in this case, in having a romantic relationship. Therefore, this study aims to develop an intervention program to help young adults improve their self-esteem and their ability to forgive after a breakup from a romantic relationship. This intervention was implemented online, once a week for eight weeks, to 8 participants, all-females with low self-esteem and difficulty forgiving after a romantic relationship break. The age was ranging between 20-25 years old. This study developed intervention based on Fennel's self-esteem intervention module and Worthington's forgiveness intervention module. Based on the results of Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Questionnaire (RSEQ) and Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) scores, there are differences in scores among the participants before and after participating in group intervention sessions (the mean RSEQ increased by 8.5 points and mean HFS increased by 13.25 points). Besides, there are no significant differences in scores among the participants in the control group. It shows that this online group intervention with a CBT approach effectively helps the young female adults to improve self-esteem and the ability to forgive after a breakup from a romantic relationship. Furthermore, it works effectively during pandemic conditions when face-to-face meeting is not permitted.
