Authors:   National Medical Research Center of Otorhinolaryngology, Moscow, 123182, Russia, Khoranova M. Yu.
Published: March 2022

Introduction. Despite advances in modern surgery, the percentage of patients with bilateral paralysis of the larynx is not decreasing. There are many author’s methods of treatment, but there is no single algorithm. This problem remains relevant, especially among people of working age. Research objective: Optimization of surgical treatment of patients with bilateral paralysis of the larynx using a CO2-laser. Materials and methods. For 2014–2018, 143 patients diagnosed with bilateral paralysis of the larynx were treated. The patients underwent a general clinical examination, video endolaryngoscopy, video stroboscopy, spirometry, acoustic voice analysis. For a subjective assessment of the condition, patients filled out the VOICE HANDICAP INDEX (VHI) voice questionnaire, the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) quality of life questionnaire. Depending on the degree of stenosis, age, body mass index, the presence of a tracheostomy, comorbidities, the following operations were performed using a CO2-laser: posterior partial chordotomy, posterior vestibulo-chordotomy, posterior chordotomy with wound defect plasty. Results and discussion: The patients followed up for 6 to 12 months in the postoperative period. A positive outcome achieved in 128 patients (90%). 15 patients needed a second operation. Tracheostomy patients were decannulated on days 3 to 5. Conclusion. Restoration of respiratory function was achieved by expanding the lumen of the glottis in the posterior parts of the larynx, while maintaining a socially adapted voice was achieved due to intact anterior two-thirds of the vocal folds. These methods are among the most effective and minimally invasive methods for the treatment of bilateral paralysis of the larynx.

The aim of this study was to study the relationship between disorders of the ciliary apparatus of the epithelium of the nasal mucosa and the severity of sinonasal pathology in children with chronic rhinosinusitis. 186 children aged 6 to 17 years with a diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis were examined. The severity of sinonasal pathology was assessed by the results of computed tomography in accordance with the Lund–Mackay scale. By the method of videocytomorphometry, such parameters: the proportion of cells with mobile cilia (%), cell survival (min), the beat rate of cilia (BCC) (Hz), the length of cilia (microns) were determined. According to the distribution of data, the lowest values of the studied indicators (Q1) are regarded as pronounced violations, while the highest values (Q4) correspond to minor violations. Children with moderate and mild decrease in the proportion of cells with mobile cilia, as well as BCC, were characterized by 17 and 25%, as well as 25 and 37% lower score on the Lund-Mackay scale compared with patients with severe violations of these parameters, respectively. A marked decrease in cell survival and cilia length was also associated with a significant 25% increase in the total score on the Lund–Mackay scale relative to patients with lower severity of ciliary disorders. The gradation based on two parameters, the BCC and the length of the cilia, led to even more pronounced differences between the groups in the total assessment on the Lund–Mackay scale. The data obtained, on the one hand, confirm the role of disorders of the mucociliary apparatus in the pathogenesis of CRS and its progression, while on the other, expand the arsenal of diagnostic tools and predicting the severity of CRS in children.

Głównym celem metaanalizy przebiegu badania jest propozycja optymalnego połączenia tradycyjnych i nowoczesnych metod badania i analizy danych w złożonych projektach, które pozwoliłoby na wykorzystanie nowych możliwości technologicznych w badaniach społecznych, a jednocześnie – na uniknięcie „pułapek” i ograniczeń z nimi związanych.
„Hańba w Sejmie” – zastosowanie modeli generatywnych do analizy debat parlamentarnych
Authors: Kwiatkowska Agnieszka
Published: March 2022

W ciągu ostatniego dziesięciolecia nastąpił wyraźny wzrost obecności skrajnej retoryki politycznej w debacie parlamentarnej w Polsce. Jednym z aspektów postępującej radykalizacji języka jest nadużywanie słów o wysokim negatywnym natężeniu emocjonalnym w celu opisania zdarzeń występujących w codziennej polityce, co prowadzi do degradacji ich znaczenia. Jak wskazują badania, brutalizacja języka debaty wywołuje negatywne konsekwencje na poziomie elit politycznych i elektoratu, prowadząc do zmniejszonej efektywności działania parlamentu, zaostrzenia konfliktów między partiami i ich zwolennikami oraz do alienacji politycznej obywateli. W artykule przedstawiam możliwości wykorzystania stenogramów parlamentarnych do analizy przemian dyskursu politycznego, w tym wykorzystane algorytmy przeszukiwania korpusów tekstów oraz analizy ukrytych tematów. Jako przykład wykorzystuję zbiór przemówień sejmowych z lat 1991‒2016 odnoszących się do idei hańby, zdrady, niesławy i skandalu. Opieram się głównie na generatywnym modelu tematycznym, wykorzystującym metodę ukrytej alokacji Dirichleta i jej rozszerzeniu – strukturalny model tematyczny, będących nienadzorowanymi metodami ekstrakcji tematów z dużych korpusów tekstów. Wyniki przeprowadzonych analiz potwierdzają wzrost radykalnego słownictwa w czasie, a także określają charakterystyki jego użytkowników oraz najczęściej występujące konteksty (polityka historyczna, kontrola nad mediami, polityka zagraniczna).

Published: March 2022

Accurate estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and dynamics along the soil profile is challenging due to the immense diversity and complexity of soils leading to the spatio-temporal variability of the parameters of interest. It is conducted in a wide range of different frameworks with diverse conceptual and analytical approaches. Our purpose in this chapter is to give a broad overview on methods for monitoring, reporting and verifying SOC stocks and their dynamics. This includes sampling and sensing techniques, SOC stock calculation, as well as SOC fractionation and assessment of SOC turnover along the soil profile using stable isotopes and alternative approaches. It is highlighted that certain key operational challenges need to be overcome for the determination of bulk SOC stocks and changes. Some of these issues, e.g. the depth vs. mass-based comparisons were discussed for several decades, while others have been less addressed so far.

Published: March 2022

Restorative land management has potential to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide and store carbon in stable forms in soils contributing to climate change mitigation, healthier soils and food security supporting Paris Agreement targets and Sustainable Development Goals. We examine the evidence for a multi-disciplinary approach to designing frameworks to foster practices that increase soil carbon based on: (1) sound biophysical evidence linking practices to carbon sequestration in diverse soils and climates; (2) policy options for providing financial incentives for high-quality carbon offsets; (3) measurement systems that appropriately balance cost-effectiveness and accuracy; and (4) integration of economic, social and cultural dimensions that recognise co-benefits and trade-offs, and provide confidence for decision-making. As a policy framework with crediting and purchasing functions for soil carbon sequestration projects, the Australian Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) is reviewed to provide insights into barriers and opportunities for uptake. We also review research needs across biophysical and socio-economic disciplines.

Authors: Lompe Maria
Published: March 2022

Bitcoin and geology of media: The end of the world or the end of capitalism?The article deals with the relation between Nature and capitalism, using the example of bitcoin currency. Based on the Jussi Parikka geology of media and Jason W. Moore theory, analyzes the multiplicity of cryptocurrency entanglements in the capitalist system. Comprehending Earth as a medium and Nature as a historical mother that both constitutes and limits the capitalist system is based on the concept of anthropocene understood in a specific way. The enormous energy consumption of cryptocurrencies reveals the ideological background of the new technology, which reproduces the values carried by the era of late modernity.

Huarango tree monologue: Nazca culture development in the bioarchological perspectivePresented article provides a multi-faceted study of the factors that have led to the emergence, development and disappearance of the well-known early intermediate period Nazca culture. Obtained results clearly indicate that the cause of this complex and long-lasting civilization changes of an evolutionary nature were largely the environmental impact and climate changes at the turn of early intermediate period and middle horizon resulting from both external factors effects of the Super ENSO and human activity, such as the huarango copses deforestation. In this context, it is worth emphasizing the importance of widely understood paleoecological analyzes and bioarchaeological studies that are part of the so-called environmental archaeology — transdisciplinary research conducted in close cooperation with specialists from various scientific disciplines.
Art squats, artistic critique and resistance: Between recuperation and obliteration
Authors: Drake Michael S.
Published: March 2022

Art squats have been a characteristic form of the development and diffusion of counter­culture since the 1960s. Their function is twofold, engaging in both art and social critique, and as a form of direct action in each field, resisting both capitalist property relations and the institutions of the art market. However, those functions may be displaced by others as a result of the effects of art squats themselves, such as neighbourhood gentrification. The changing cultural politics of the embodied critical practice of art squats are traced through three European examples. This paper follows Critical Cultural Studies in reading cultural practice as text to engage critically with Boltanski and Chiapello’s dismissal of artistic critique, and also problematising the alternative autonomist assumption that art squats unify the projects of art and social revolution by showing how their strategies can be subject to recuperation, while linking the strategies developed in art squats to contemporary practices of resistance.
Jaki kształt kary ograniczenia wolności?

Published: March 2022

What form should restriction of liberty take?The paper is analysis of restriction of liberty from the emergence of this remedy till the most recent, very far reaching changes. The concept of a work-based criminal remedy has been known in Polish criminal law for a long time. Successive forms of this remedy have yet to fulfil the expectations associated with it. If so far no form of this remedy, including its probational elements, has convinced the courts to opt for it more often, per­haps the catalogue of criminal remedies listed in Article 32 of the Criminal Code should be expanded to include “community work”. Some steps towards introducing such a pro­posal have already been taken; at the moment the duties of professional probation officers include organisation and control of sentence enforcement.

Hightlight:Clinical conditions, CD4+ cell counts, and the viral copies number in the blood for AIDS/HIV were given antiretroviral therapy.The profile of CD4+ levels and plasma viral load in HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapyThe lower CD4+ cell counts and higher viral loads happen in HIV-infected’s men. Abstract:Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is expected to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) morbidity and mortality. Antiretroviral therapy in HIV patients is given based on clinical conditions, CD4+ cell counts, and the number of viral copies in the blood. This study aimed to determine the profile of CD4+ levels and plasma viral load in HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. This was a cross-sectional study conducted within six months at Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) in Jayawijaya Hospital, Papua, Indonesia. The CD4+ levels were measured using CD4+ counter and viral plasma was checked using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for 90 patients. The results showed more female patients had a CD4+ level <200 cells/mm3, a higher number of copies of the virus in the blood plasma, and stages of disease 3 and 4. Statistically, there was a significant relationship between CD4+ levels and gender with a p-value = 0.00. HIV-infected males were more likely to have lower CD4+ cell counts and higher viral loads than females.

Published: March 2022

Highlight:High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan has advantage for best image reconstruction and informative in interpreting images of the temporal bone.The essential primary aspect in HRCT of the temporal bone scan is technique and protocol. Abstract:The high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan used in the 1980s offers a distinct advantage in interpreting images of the temporal bone. To obtain a right image reconstruction and to provide meaningful information, a certain degree of tilt is required so that radiologists and clinicians can get more real imaging information on structural abnormalities in the temporal bone and its soft tissue constituents. The technique or protocol in HRCT of the temporal bone becomes an essential primary aspect in presenting the analyzed structure, the assessment of the small form of the auditory bones, the soft tissue of the inner ear and the cranial nerves that pass through the temporal bone structure is much easier to analyze, of course with the help of reconstruction according to the HRCT protocol for temporal bone, however, soft tissue evaluation is preferable to MRI. In the end, the standard structure, congenital abnormalities and pathological problems in the temporal bone structure can be identified and informed to the clinician as a step to determine further treatment action.

Hightlight:The effect of orlistat on glycemic control and weight loss in overweight or obese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was determinedHbA1c and FPG level in overweight and obese type 2 diabetes mellitus patient can improved by orlistat as an adjuvant therapy. Abstract:Risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases steadily with increasing overweight and obesity, and these two-health problems are emerging epidemics worldwide. Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor for weight loss drug, is often used in T2DM medication as adjuvant therapy, but effectiveness of the drug for improving glycemic control on T2DM patients is unclear. This study was to determine the effect of orlistat on glycemic control and weight loss in overweight or obese patients with T2DM. Term “Orlistat” AND “(obesity OR overweight)” AND “(HbA1c OR A1C)” AND “diabetes” were systematically searched in Pubmed and Science Direct web databases up to March 2021. Only randomized controlled study (RCT) methods studies were included in this study. Collected final samples were presented in a table with narrative review. There were 9 RCT studies with a total 2,175 subjects that met inclusion criteria. Of the sample, 360 mg/day orlistat as an adjuvant therapy, was administered to overweight or obese T2DM patients together with hypocaloric intake (8 studies) or without hypocaloric intake (1 study) intervention. They were examined for 12-52 weeks. From 2 short-term (12 weeks) studies, one study revealed that orlistat improved HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level significantly, while one study showed no significant effect compared to placebo. Seven other studies (long term observation) had found that orlistat significantly improved HbA1c and FPG level. All studies found that orlistat significantly reduced body weight. As an adjuvant therapy, Orlistat improved HbA1c and FPG level in overweight and obese T2DM patients.

Authors: Purnamasari Indah , Sari Maylita
Published: March 2022

Highlight:Dermoscopy is a practical, non-invasive and accurate method for reducing the number of unnecessary excision of benign skin neoplasms.Knowledge about vascular pattern and description setting can lead to a prompt benign skin neoplasm diagnosis.Abstract:Benign skin neoplasms are commonly found in the population.  It has a well-differentiated and slow growth nature. The patients often come seeking treatment when the tumor has developed into malignancy. This usual delay in diagnosis and therapy frequently happens because early-stage mass has not generated any complaints by the patients. Detection and monitoring of benign skin neoplasms can be carried out earlier and more effectively if the clinician or dermatologist has the knowledge of distinguishing benign from malignant lesions. The histopathological examination can help to establish the diagnosis, but this method is invasive and requires an extended amount of time. Dermoscopy is a practical, non-invasive and accurate method for early detection of skin disorder which reduces the number of unnecessary excisions of benign skin neoplasms. Knowledge of the vascular pattern and arrangement description, combined with the additional dermoscopic feature can lead to the prompt diagnosis of benign skin neoplasms.
The Prognostic Role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in Testicular Germ Cell Tumor (GCT)
Authors: Saputra Haviv Muris , Hakim Lukman
Published: March 2022

Highlights:Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported by several studies for its role as a biomarker in various diseases, however, the role of NLR in testicular GCT is still unclear.The characteristics and responses of testicular GCT patients among Indonesian men show similarity to other reports worldwide.As a parameter, NLR shows promise to be used as a potential biomarker for prognosis in testicular GCT.Abstract:The global incidence of testicular cancer is 1-2% from all cancers. The attempts to maintain high therapeutic rates while decreasing the treatment-related side effects and toxicity have become the current concern. However, the reports regarding testicular germ cell tumors (GCT) in Indonesia are limited. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of testicular GCT patients undergoing bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy, as well as their chemotherapy response and side effects. We reported the data of patients with Testicular Germ Cell Tumor from January 2015 to December 2019. Several data were retrieved, including patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment, and prognosis outcome. A total of 67 patients with testicular germ cell tumors were included in this study. The mean age was 28.9 years old. The chemotherapy regimens used were four cycles of (BEP) in 36 patients (53.7%), followed by three cycles of BEP in 22 patients (32.8%). Patients with seminoma GCT mostly had a complete response (54.1%), whereas most patients with non-seminoma GCT had progressive disease (47.8%). The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that NLR and S staging were independently associated with the patient’s response to chemotherapy (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.22, 3.78, p <0.01,OR 9.43, 95% CI 1.81, 49.14, p < 0.01). The clinical characteristics and response of testicular GCT patients among Indonesian men showed similarity with the current worldwide data. The NLR could be used as a potential biomarker for prognosis.

Highlight:Moderate negative significant correlation between HbA1c and MCV levels in T2DM was yet reported widely.MCV levels could mirror health indicator in adult T2DM patients.Abstract:HbA1c showed the average level of blood sugar in the recent 2-3 months. This parameter can be used to help physicians to diagnose T2DM and to plan appropriate treatment. Meanwhile, the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is established from the erythrocytes levels as one of the blood corpuscles, in which hemoglobin is bound to. We hypothesize that MCV is correlated to the HbA1c levels and could be an indicator of blood sugar levels in adult T2DM patients. A retrospective cross-sectional study based on the medical record of patients admitted to the Outpatient Section of Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Indonesia from January to December 2019 was done. Patients under 18-years old, and incomplete medical record data were excluded. Adult patients diagnosed with T2DM and have been received initial treatment in this section were included (n=1.688). Data was analyzed using correlation test in SPSS 17.0 (USA), p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. We found a significant negative correlation between HbA1c and MCV levels in these patients (r=-0.312; p<0.001). MCV levels showed a paradoxical pattern against the blood glucose levels in T2DM and could serve as the health indicator in these patients.

Highlight:Assessing the survival rate in castration-resistant prostate cancer was descriptived.PSA level between survivor and non survivor was significant but not for PSA nadir level, TTN and TTC.Initial PSA level can predict survival prognosis rate of castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. Abstract:High mortality rates was often found in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Our aim on this research was to assess the PSA level and time to PSA nadir as a prognostic tool for survival in CRPC patients. Several factors are considered to be useful as prognostic marker in CRPC patients. This study was a descriptive study assessing the survival rate in castration-resistant prostate cancer. Evaluation data included sex, age, initial PSA level, final PSA level, time to PSA nadir (TTN), time to CRPC progression (TTC), and survival status. A total of 24 patients with CRPC were evaluated in this study. There was significant difference found of initial PSA level between survivor (445.7 + 165.6 ng/mL) and non-survivor (200.7 + 144.9 ng/mL). There were no significant differences were also found in PSA nadir level, TTN and TTC between survivor and non-survivor groups. This study revealed that there was association between initial PSA level on survival rate of CRPC patients. Initial PSA level could be used to predict survival prognosis in CRPC patients.

Sosialisasi Dan Implementasi Eco paving Block Untuk Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Industri Kecil
Authors: Chairunnisa Nursiah , Nurwidayati Ratni , Khatimi Husnul
Published: March 2022

In South Kalimantan, coconut shell waste is enormous and is not utilized massively by the local community so that it covers river mouths and even fills the bottom of warehouses and people's houses, and waste/used coconut shells have piled up. This condition causes the river mouth to narrow so that it becomes a problem that is quite disturbing to the local community. Currently, most of the shell waste is used and only used as handicrafts and making briquettes. The use of coconut shell waste for paving blocks is one solution to utilize coconut shell waste into construction materials that support eco-green construction by reducing the cement content. Empowerment of local communities to process coconut shell waste as an eco-paving block construction material is useful in the long term for local communities and supports government programs in implementing the eco-green construction concept. Therefore, the initial step taken was socialization and implementation for small industry partners providing paving blocks in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan related to manufacturing coconut shell waste as a building material for eco paving blocks. Furthermore, the results of this eco paving block are expected to be further disseminated to local communities to independently make eco paving blocks that can later be used for the construction of public space facilities and green open spaces

Masjid merupakan tempat beribadah umat islam kepada Allah SWT, baik itu berupa sosial keagamaan maupun sosial kemasyarakatan. Tentunya dengan perubahan yang ada setiap tahunnya, masjid meningkat secara signifikan. Namun jamaahnya berkurang secara signifikan pula. Terlebih hal ini didukung dengan era globalisasi yang sekarang ini menyebar luas di berbagai kalangan. Oleh karena itu, pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk membatasi diri agar tidak terjerumus ke dalam arus globalisasi yang semakin dalam. Salah satunya melalui kegiatan-kegiatan yang diselenggarakan di masjid. Metode yang digunakan berupa wawancara kepada pihak pengelola masyarakat setempat, serta praktik secara langsung kepada masyarakat di Desa Karees Sapuran, Kelurahan Samoja, Kecamatan Batununggal, Kota Bandung. Berbagai program yang telah berhasil dilaksanakan antara lain: mengadakan kegiatan tabligh akbar peringatan Isra Mi’raj, penggandaan Al-Quran dan buku keislaman, mengajarkan santri mengaji, menjadi narasumber dalam kajian rutin, mengadakan pelatihan imam sholat dan khutbah jum’at, menyelenggarakan kegiatan bedah buku, serta membantu menyediakan akomodasi yang memadai di masjid.  Kata Kunci: masjid; globalisasi; sosial keagamaan; sosial kemasyarakatan

Pemanfaatan SIG dan pengindraan jauh dapat meminimalkan dampak bencana. Pengindraan jauh bisa dimanfaatkan untuk memetakan resiko kejadian genangan dan banjir dengan memanfaatkan hasil analisis citra satelit. Kegiatan ini bertujuan memetakan wilayah resiko serta menyusun skala prioritas penanganan peristiwa genangan dan banjir yang terjadi di Kota Banjarbaru. Tingkat resiko genangan dan banjir diidentifikasi menggunakan metode analisis citra satelit pada platform Google Earth Engine untuk mengetahui sebaran probabilitas (hazard) dan tingkat kerawanan (vulnerability) banjir di wilayah Kota Banjarbaru. Parameter tingkat probabilitas banjir yang digunakan meliputi elevasi, slope, dan Gaussian Curvature. Tingkat kerawanan banjir dianalisis menggunakan parameter densitas populasi dan jalan. Genangan banjir didapatkan dari analisis NDWI pada platform Google Earth Engine (GEE). Namun dengan adanya kendala tutupan awan pada saat kejadian banjir/genangan pada bulan Januari 2021, maka untuk meningkatkan akurasi analisi, digunakan citra Sentinel-1 SAR GRD yang menggunakan dual-polarisasi C-band pada 5.405 GHz pita ganda VH.Hasil analisis disajikan dalam bentuk peta resiko dan skala prioritas penanganan banjir/genangan kang dibagi per kecamatan di kota Banjarbaru. Hasil kegiatan disampaikan melalui sosialisasi pada PUPR Banjarbaru yang juga dihadiri beberapa Instansi lain dan Kelurahan di lingkungan pemerintah Banjarbaru. Hal ini juga diharapkan dapat dijadikan masukan bagi pihak dinas PUPR untuk melakukan penataan sistem drainase, sempadan sungai maupun kawasan permukiman.

Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) merupakan suatu wilayah daratan yang menerima, menampung, dan menyimpan air hujan untuk kemudian disalurkan ke laut atau danau melalui sungai utama. DAS sebagai pengatur tata air dapat berfungsi sebagai pengendali banjir alami di musim hujan dan mengurangi kekeringan di musim kemarau, sehingga diperlukan beberapa kegiatan monitoring pengelolaan DAS. Salah satu ciri DAS yang dibentuk oleh faktor alam adalah morfometri. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis karakteristik DAS Maluka dengan menggunakan citra satelit SRTM yang memiliki resolusi 30mx30m. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis SRTM DEM untuk mendapatkan morfometri DAS yang meliputi; luas DAS, keliling DAS, panjang DAS, lebar DAS, bentuk DAS (rasio elongasi dan rasio sirkularitas), kepadatan drainase, urutan dan rasio bifurkasi (Rb), tekstur drainase, pola aliran sungai, dan kemiringan lereng sungai. Hasil analisis morfometri menunjukkan DAS Maluka memiliki luas 82.746,64 ha, pola dendritik, bentuk DAS memanjang sehingga permukaan menuju debit aliran outlet lebih lambat, indeks kepadatan drainase 0,82 km/km2 dan Bifurcation Ratio yaitu 1,003 dengan kemiringan sungai 1,16% (landai atau datar) menyebabkan kenaikan muka air banjir cepat mengalir sedangkan penurunannya lambat, dan kapasitas infiltrasi yang rendah dari tekstur drainase kasar yang bertekstur kasar adalah 2,02. Kata Kunci: DAS Maluka, Morfometri, SRTM

Covid-19 termasuk bencana nonalam yang terjadi di negara maju dan negara berkembang. Negara berkembang yang terkena dampak Covid-19 adalah Indonesia. Proses pembelajaran selama bencana Covid19 dilakukan secara online begitu dalam pembelajaran geografi. Geografi merupakan ilmu spasial (Ruang atau tempat) yang diyakini mampu membekali spatial intelligence, spatial ability kepada peserta didik. Kajian geografi membentang dari obyek/fenomena litosfer, hidrosfer, atmosfer, biosfer, antroposfer. Data geospasial (peta) dalam pengajaran geografi merupakan media belajar yang penting untuk mengembangkan pengertian ruang dan tempat. Geografi menelaah semua substanisnya darisudut pandang spasial sehingga mengharuskan penggunaan peta; baik peta kerja, peta hasil maupun peta rekomendasi. Begitu besar manfaat data geospasial dalam pembelajaran geografi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah bagaimana pemanfaatan data geospasial dalam proses pembelajaran geografi pada kondisi bencana Covid-19. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik analisis menggunakan teknik triangulasi. Hasil yang didapatkan penelitian ini adalah (a) data geospasial (peta) mempunyai kemampuan-kemampuan tertentu yang merupakan ciri khasnya. (b) geografi seringkali overlap dengan bidang ilmu lain, yang membedakan adalah sudut pandang spasial. (c) pemanfaatan data geospasial dalam proses pembelajaran geografi pada kondisi Covid19 sangat memerlukan bantuan teknologi geospasial yang berbasis komputer. Kata Kunci: Data Geospasial, Pembelajaran Geografi, Bencana Covid-19
