Pemanfaatan Data Pengamatan Pilot Ballon untuk Analisis Kondisi Atmosfer sebelum Terjadinya Hujan Lebat di Wilayah Samarinda (Studi Kasus 2015 – 2022)
Authors: Alhadid Bai'at
Published: June 2024

Hujan lebat merupakan salah satu jenis cuaca ekstrim yang umumnya disebabkan oleh awan Cumulonimbus. Kejadian hujan lebat cukup sering terjadi di wilayah Indonesia, khususnya di wilayah Samarinda selama tahun 2015 – 2022. Penelitian mengenai hujan lebat sudah cukup banyak dilakukan. Pendekatan lain yang dapat digunakan untuk penelitian mengenai hujan lebat adalah dengan menggunakan data pengamatan udara atas. Dari data tersebut dapat diketahui gerak udara dan labilitas atmosfer di suatu wilayah. Salah satu instrumen yang digunakan untuk pengamatan udara atas adalah Pilot Balloon (Pibal). Pemanfaatan data pengamatan Pibal belum cukup banyak dilakukan. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini akan dilakukan pemanfaatan data pengamatan Pibal untuk analisis kondisi atmosfer sebelum terjadinya hujan lebat di wilayah Samarinda tahun 2015 – 2022. Data pengamatan Pibal diolah menggunakan aplikasi RAOB 5.7, sehingga dapat diketahui gerak udara dan labilitas atmosfer (kecepatan angin 850 mb, Bulk Richardson Number (BRN) Shear, dan Storm Relative Helicity (SRH)). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebelum terjadinya hujan lebat gerak udara dari lapisan permukaan hingga ketinggian 3 km umumnya bergerak searah jarum jam (clockwise), yang mengindikasikan adanya aktivitas konvektif yang mendukung pembentukan awan dan terjadinya hujan. Namun, nilai labilitas atmosfer yang teramati sebelumnya terjadinya hujan lebat umumnya relatif rendah. Hanya satu kejadian yaitu pada kejadian – 10 (K10) yang menunjukkan labilitas atmosfer cukup tinggi sehingga dapat meningkatkan aktivitas konvektif dan pembentukan awan Cumulonimbus. Pada K10 teramati adanya peningkatan kecepatan angin lapisan 850 mb yang mencapai 32 knot, serta nilai BRN Shear dan SRH yang cukup tinggi yaitu mencapai 26 m2/ s2 dan 226 m2/ s2.

Pemanfaatan Algoritma Decision Tree C4.5 dalam Memprakirakan Hujan di Stasiun Meteorologi Kelas I Sultan Hasanuddin
Authors: Prasetiyo Adi
Published: June 2024

Hujan dapat memberikan berbagai dampak dalam kehidupan manusia, salah satunya adalah dampak terhadap dunia penerbangan. Untuk meminimalisir dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh hujan dalam dunia penerbangan, diperlukan prakiraan hujan untuk melancarkan kegiatan operasional suatu bandara tak terkecuali di Bandara Internasional Sultan Hasanuddin yang merupakan salah satu bandara tersibuk di Indonesia. Dalam memprakirakan hujan, umumnya data yang digunakan adalah data yang mempengaruhi pembentukan hujan seperti data yang berhubungan dengan jumlah uap air (precipitable water) serta angin (relative vorticity dan divergence). Meskipun data yang digunakan dalam memprakirakan hujan berkorelasi terhadap pembentukan hujan, terdapat potensi akurasi prakiraan yang buruk akibat data – data pendukung yang tidak kontinu terhadap kejadian hujan yang diprakirakan karena kondisi atmosfer yang sangat kompleks serta dapat berubah dengan cepat. Untuk meminimalisir prakiraan hujan dengan akurasi yang buruk diperlukan salah satu metode yang dapat mengolah data yang tidak kontinu terhadap kejadian hujan yang akan datang dengan baik, salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan algoritma Decision Tree C4.5. Decision Tree C4.5 adalah algoritma pembelajaran mesin yang melibatkan pemilihan fitur terbaik pada setiap langkah sehingga berpotensi menghasilkan prakiraan yang baik. Pada penelitian ini, hasil prakiraan selama setahun didominasi oleh tidak hujan sebanyak 2590 kejadian, sedangkan jumlah prakiraan hujan didapatkan sebanyak 330 kejadian. Akurasi prakiraan perbulan didapatkan berkisar antara 64,92% hingga 100% dimana jika jumlah prakiraan yang benar dan salah dari masing – masing bulan digabungkan, maka didapatkan akurasi prakiraan selama setahun sebesar 84% dimana akurasi tersebut dapat dikatakan sangat baik.

Salah satu aspek penting dalam mendeteksi perubahan iklim yaitu dengan menganalisis perubahan variabel meteorologi seperti curah hujan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis perubahan iklim secara sederhana di Sentani menggunakan data curah hujan periode 1991 – 2020. Metode yang digunakan yaitu analisis secara kualitatif terkait pergeseran awal musim hujan dan kemarau pada periode 1 (1991 – 2005) dan periode 2 (2006 – 2020) terhadap normal klimatologinya. Kemudian membandingkan perubahan distribusi frekuensi pada masing – masing periode dan dilakukan uji statistik Mann Whitney untuk menguji signifikansi dari rata – rata curah hujan pada setiap periode. Selain itu untuk mendeteksi adanya perubahan kecenderungan digunakan uji Mann Kendall. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi pergeseran pola musim dari normalnya dimana awal musim kemarau cenderung datang lebih awal dan awal musim hujan datang lebih lambat dari kondisi normal. Terjadi peningkatan intensitas curah hujan pada periode 2 dimana berdasarkan distribui frekuensi, curah hujan pada periode 1 memiliki interval maksimum sebesar 250 – 300 mm/dasarian sedangkan pada periode 2 nilai maksimum dari interval curah hujan mencapai 400 – 450 mm/dasarian. Hasil uji statistik Mann whitney dan Mann Kendall mengkonfirmasi perbedaan yang siginifikan rata – rata curah hujan antara dua periode tersebut dan kenaikan curah hujan yang siginifikan selama 30 tahun terakhir.
Microburrows and Coprulus oblongus in Cryptic Cavities of Cryptozoön Stromatolites from Late Cambrian Carbonates of New York, USA
Authors: McMenamin Mark
Published: June 2024

Late Cambrian stromatolites (Cryptozoön; Little Falls Formation, Late Cambrian [ca. 490 Ma], Herkimer County, New York, USA) from the classic Herkimer “diamond” locality host an accumulation of microcoprolites (Coprulus oblongus) in a cryptic cavity between stromatolite columns. The cryptic cavity space is partly delineated by a region of overhanging stromatolitic laminae, a phenomenon known to occur in New York Cryptozoöns. The same rock slab hosts tiny burrows, some of which are partly filled with rounded quartz grains that were introduced into the burrow as backfill sediment. The association of pellet accumulations and microburrows demonstrates that the New York Cryptozoön community had a significant component of small metazoans, comparable to the microburrow nests reported from early Cambrian archaeocyath-calcimicrobe communities. Pervasive burrowing in selected laminae of the New York Cryptozoön communities indicate that these organo-sedimentary structures are best considered as microbial-metazoan constructions or benthic microbial-metazoan communities (BMMC). This result has implications for understanding the origin of animals. Controversial structures in the 890 Ma Little Dal Group, northwestern Canada, are directly comparable to the vermiform structures observed in the New York Cryptozoöns. Coprulus of comparable age (800-900 Ma, Baish Group, Saudia Arabia) was reported in the 1980s. Metazoan may thus date back to the time of Rodinia.
Prevalence of Cannabis Use Disorder: A Meta-Analysis of Population Surveys
Authors: Boness Cassandra L. , Pfund Rory A , Acuff Samuel , Montano-Pilch Martin , Sher Kenneth J.
Published: June 2024

Objective: Epidemiologic surveys aim to estimate the population prevalence of cannabis use and cannabis use disorder. Prevalences estimates are important for understanding trends, such as the impact of policy change. Existing epidemiologic surveys have produced discrepant and potentially unreliable estimates. The current meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42022364818) aims to identify potential sources of unreliability in prevalence estimates of cannabis use and use disorder among the general population (aged 12+). There was no specific hypothesis about overall prevalence estimate, but we expected significant variability (i.e., heterogeneity) in estimates based on factors such as country, year of data collection, and specific methodological factors (e.g., diagnostic instrument). Method: Systematic searches identified manuscripts and reports documenting nationally representative lifetime or past-year cannabis use disorder prevalence estimates. Meta-analysis was used to synthesize prevalence estimates, evaluate heterogeneity, and test moderators. Results: There were 39 manuscripts/reports included in analyses which resulted in 259 unique prevalence estimates spanning 1980-2013 and an aggregated sample size of 973,281 individuals. Past-year and lifetime prevalence estimates for cannabis use were 12.83% (95% CI: 11.15%, 14.71%) and 38.31% (95% CI: 35.92%, 40.76%) and those for cannabis use disorder were 2.59% (95% CI:2.30%, 2.90%) and 6.77% (95% CI: 4.89%, 9.30%), respectively. There was significant heterogeneity in estimates, which was partially explained by factors such as country, year of data collection, and methodological characteristics. Conclusions: The significant heterogeneity in prevalence estimates as a function of methodological characteristics raises concerns about the generalizability of estimates. Recommendations for enhancing validity and reliability of these estimates are offered.

Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) encompasses both worry and rumination and is a transdiagnostic process. A systematic review and meta-analysis were co-produced with individuals with lived experience of anxiety and depression. The objective was to examine the efficacy of RNT-specific psychological interventions. Inclusion criteria were mean age or range 10-24 years, and including a measure of worry, rumination, RNT, anxiety, depression, psychosis, self-harm, or suicide. The Cochrane Risk of Bias measure was used. PsycInfo, Medline/PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases were searched on 24 April 2023. There were 16 studies with 20 RNT interventions, N = 1,183 participants, 79% female, mean pooled age = 20.08 years. There was a small effect of RNT interventions on anxiety symptoms (g = -0.43 to -0.47, 95% CI = -0.23 to -0.70). There were small to medium effects on depressive symptoms (g = -0.40 to -0.52, 95% CI = -0.19 to -0.84), and RNT (g = -0.59 to -0.71, 95% CI = -0.41 to -1.01). Most studies indicated some concerns for risk of bias. Transdiagnostic interventions that target RNT are efficacious in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and RNT in young people. Further research is required to address younger age groups, psychosis, and different cultural contexts.
Systemizing Long-Term Research: Assessing Long-Term Automation Effects and Behaviour Modification
Authors: Mbelekani Naomi Y.
Published: June 2024

Over the past years, numerous studies have paved the way towards a better understanding of human-automation interaction (HAI). However, there is neglect in research that focuses on the long-term effects of automation on user behaviour. The reason behind this has been highly emphasised. As, long-term research is one of the most critically challenging approaches and is quite expensive to conduct, among others. Moreover, many scholars argue that a major source of difficulty is defining how long a period is enough to consider the potential change in user behaviour or behaviour modification. In this discussion, we consider what constitutes long-term research, to prolifically draw knowledge on taxonomies and benchmarks for empirical evaluation strategies on changes in user behaviour. Further, we consider the trade-offs between long-term effects and learning effects. In addition, the reader should note that this paper is a fragment of dualistic parts of knowledge distribution on the topic of constructing a long-term research strategy for assessing learning effects, long-term effects and behaviour modification.

Traffic and Transport Ergonomics on Long Term Multi-Agent Social Interactions: A Road User’s Tale
Authors: Mbelekani Naomi Y.
Published: June 2024

There are public debates concerning the meaning highly automated vehicles (HAVs) will possess in society and on road social interactions, with the topic of autonomy being frequently stressed. The de-contextualised and abstract discussion has influenced the development of the on-road Multi-Agent Social Interaction (MASI) concept. By addressing socially sensitive road users’ co-experiences with HAVs, a range of social situations, and how the social dimensions comes to play in different future scenarios may aid scholars and manufacturers gain insights as well as challenge perceived assumptions. For prolific future mobility research and development, we need to consider long-term automation effects to on-road social interactive behaviours – an under-addressed and often overlooked issue. Thus, we revised ideas that infer social interaction patterns, in hopes to try to interrogate and situate these patterns within the context of MASI. These viewpoints are compared and integrated to formulate a structured and explorative framework, describing MASI in the context of space sharing, as this is important to consider in the early stage of HAV development. This paper aims to situate the experiences of road users within an illustrative urban context, as real-world commuting experiences may include multiple people interacting with HAVs at the same time. Further offers significant contributions, which is a description of “MASI”: in short, as on-road social interaction consisting of different road users (humans and automated vehicles), as agents that socially interact with and react to each other, simultaneously. In essence, a classification of co-experiences that users’ may exhibit in in-group social interactions with HAV and interaction dynamics with automation tailored for different road-user types, and further supports several multimodalities. This framework is helpful in envisioning better-equipped systems, models, theories, human factors requirements for interaction designed strategies, and in-group-out-group humans-automation collaborative research.

Systemic issues of social housing in London: mapping interrelated challenges faced by Housing Associations
Authors: Pagani Anna , Zimmermann Nici , Macmillan Alex , Zhou Koko , Davies Michael
Published: June 2024

The provision of good quality social housing is crucial to address disparities in cities. However, the supply of social homes in London is threatened by numerous political, economic, environmental, and social pressures. Interacting, these pressures generate a complexity hard to navigate, leading to interventions that reinforce rather than alleviate existing issues. This paper seeks to provide a holistic picture of the interconnected challenges faced by the English social housing sector, with the aim of supporting reflection on systemic strategies to address them. We used system dynamics to develop causal loop diagrams (CLDs) displaying the interrelations between critical issues in the sector extracted from the literature. The resulting six CLDs were explored and enriched over a series of participatory activities involving four London-based housing associations and the authors of the selected publications. The CLDs display the dynamics triggered by decades of political instability and the strategies devised in response. In doing so, they make explicit the logics behind controversial approaches such as social mixing or demolition, and how these emerge from partial understandings of the system and the prioritisation of different goals (e.g., viability, housing targets, speculation). These representations support reflections around leverage points in the system of housing provision.

Prescribing Pattern of Antibiotics in Paediatric Inpatients of Bakulahar Ratnanagar Hospital, Chitwan
Authors: Chaurasiya Roshan Kumar , Sah Ajit Kumar
Published: June 2024

INTRODUCTION: The rational use of antibiotics is crucial in paediatric healthcare settings to mitigate the risk of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to assess the prescription patterns of antibiotics among paediatric inpatients at Bakulahar Ratnanagar Hospital, Ratnanagar, Chitwan.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:  A cross-sectional study conducted over a 2-month period in May-June 2023 involved the analysis of 160 patient case sheets from the paediatric inpatient department. Patients with various infections were included, and data were analyzed using SPSS.
RESULTS: The mean age of paediatric patients was 2.83 years. Each encounter involved an average of 3.4 drugs, with 1.86 antibiotics per patient. Pneumonia emerged as the most prevalent disease. Among antibiotics, the Cephalosporin group, particularly Ceftriaxone and Cefotaxime, were frequently prescribed. The combination antibiotic Ceftriaxone plus Tazobactam was widely used.
CONCLUSIONS: Strict adherence to antibiotic prescription policies can significantly curb overuse and reduce antibiotic resistance development.

INTRODUCTION: Teenage pregnancy is a major public health issue these days and is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study was conducted to determine the adverse maternal and fetal outcomes in teenage pregnancy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study. All the teenage pregnant women (15-19 years of age) with a singleton pregnancy coming to antenatal ward of Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital from 22nd December 2022 to 21th December 2023 were enrolled in the study, irrespective of their APGAR score at birth, NICU admission and early neonatal death and intrauterine fetal death were noted after delivery.
RESULTS: The incidence of teenage pregnancy was 1.7%, and the mean age was 18.36±.83 years. Majority (53.3 %) of the women had normal vaginal delivery. The most common maternal complication was preterm labor (26.7%), while the most common fetal complication was low birth weight (38.7%). 29.3% were admitted to NICU, 25.3% had low APGAR score, 2.7% had stillbirth, 1.3% had early neonatal death.
CONCLUSION: Teenage pregnancy was associated with a high rate of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes like premature delivery, anemia, pregnancy induced hypertension, instrumental deliveries, lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), low birth weight, low APGAR score at birth and NICU admission.
