A review of the Nigerian seed system
Authors: Uzoma Izuogu , Chukwuebuka Orji , Chiemena Chinaka , Ankrumah Emmanuel , Njoku Joachim
Published: January 2024

Food insecurity is a major challenge to many households in Nigeria. Many of these households depend on farming to meet their nutritional needs. Seed is an essential input in agricultural production. High-quality seed is essential for improved agricultural productivity, amelioration of food insecurity and improvement in the living standard of farming households. This study is a qualitative investigation of the Nigerian seed system. The National Agricultural Seed Council is responsible for seed certification, distribution, quality control and utilization. Access to certified seeds by farmers in Nigeria is very low because of the high cost of improved seed varieties. Notwithstanding the advances made in the production of improved seeds, quality is a serious challenge as a result of an increase in the distribution of adulterated seeds. Farmers' seed preference affects their choice of certified seed variety. Insufficient access to farmers' preferred seed is limiting their choices and invariably limits their ability to be resilient to agricultural production risk. This has also made it difficult for farmers to meet up with the dynamics of market preferences. Among the challenges of the Nigerian seed system are poor distribution channels, lack of infrastructure, lack of trust in the quality of improved seed, and negative perception of the effects of certified seed on health among others. The study recommends that the national seed policy should be updated to combat counterfeit seeds and promote access for smallholder farmers. Farmers' preferences should be considered while developing seed system policy.
Actuality of Life of Gerasim Zelić: Evidence of a time and/or lesson for the future
Authors: Ernaut Miloš
Published: January 2024

Gerasim Zelić (1752-1828), archimandrite of the Krupa Monastery in Dalmatia, was one of the most famous Serbs of his time and a great traveler. The only written trace of his many travels is the autobiography of the Life of Gerasim Zelić. In that work, he describes important political events throughout Europe, the Middle East and Russia. The goals of this research are synchronic and diachronic. In the first case, we will try to present and critically analyze Zelić's perception of the events he describes as their contemporary. At the same time, we will try to determine the current relevance of his insights presented in the aforementioned work. The results of our research indicate that the Life of Gerasim Zelić is a work that transcends the framework of the time in which it was created.

Fracture Mechanics: An Engineering Primer
Authors: Janssen M. , Zuidema J. , Wanhill R.J.H.
Published: January 2024

In this second edition, which is the result of numerous revisions, updates and additions, the authors cover the basic concepts of fracture mechanics for both the linear elastic and elastic-plastic regimes. The fracture mechanics parameters K, G, J and CTOD are treated in a basic manner along with the test methods to determine critical values. The development of failure assessment based on elastic-plastic fracture mechanics is reflected in a comprehensive treatment. Three chapters are devoted to the fracture mechanics characterisation of crack growth. Fatigue crack growth is extensively treated and attention is paid to the important topic of the initiation and growth of short fatigue cracks. Furthermore, sustained load fracture and dynamic crack growth are discussed, including various test techniques, e.g. the determination of the crack arrest toughness. Finally, there are two chapters dealing with mechanisms of fracture and the ways in which actual material behaviour influences the fracture mechanics characterisation of crack growth. This textbook is intended primarily for engineering students. It will be useful to practising engineers as well, since it provides the background to several test and design methods and to criteria for material selection.
The Principles Of Administrative Law

Published: January 2024

One branch of public law that seeks to encourage the proper use of authority is administrative law. In India, the role of supervision is carried out by the judicial system. If a state were to transition from a controlled to a liberalised economy, how would administrative law concerns change? Would the Court’s duty to guarantee the responsible use of power remain unchanged regardless of the State’s economic strategy, or would judicial scrutiny be necessary in the second scenario? When questions arise about presidential policy, must courts use judicial restraint? Because it provides a critical account of the many changes to the Principles of Administrative Law, this book is valuable for both academics and professionals in the field.
Universal Design for Learning in the Geosciences for Access and Equity in Our Classrooms
Authors: Higgins Alanna , Maxwell Aaron
Published: January 2024

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework that has been employed in K-12 environments and generally improves learning outcomes for a variety of learners; however, its use in Higher Education (HE) to date has been much more limited. Studies of HE geosciences curriculum, including human geography, physical geography, geology, and environmental geoscience, suggest that learning barriers exist for many students, highlighting the need for curricular revision and the implementation of UDL. This paper reviews this literature to argue for increased engagement of UDL principles in geoscience education to create accessible and equitable classrooms. The authors then describe two geoscience courses that employed these principles to highlight the value of implementing UDL in the geosciences to effectively educate students with different learning preferences and needs. We highlight the value of UDL in geosciences, describe barriers that hinder its adoption, and describe best practices and make recommendations for its implementation.

Authors: Lachheb Ahmed , Abramenka-Lachheb Victoria , Huber Lesa
Published: January 2024

In this article, we share the opportunities and the challenges in adhering to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to design higher education online courses. We highlight specific instructional design examples to discuss the opportunities and challenges that we have encountered. We conclude by reflecting on UDL as a design tool and ponder the following question: Do design tools guide or serve us? By reflecting on our combined 40 years of design practice experience, we believe we offer valuable design knowledge of the UDL framework to scholars of design, educators, and practitioners.
Viel zu verlieren

Die Enthüllungen des Recherchezentrums CORRECTIV zum „Geheimplan gegen Deutschland“, einem Treffen von Rechtsextremen und AfD-Politikern in Potsdam, lösten eine neue Dynamik in der Diskussion um den richtigen Umgang mit der AfD aus. Die ehemalige Verfassungsrichterin Lübbe-Wolff wies schon im Oktober 2023 in einem Beitrag auf dem Verfassungsblog auf eine zuvor wenig beachtete Möglichkeit hin: die Grundrechtsverwirkung nach Art. 18 GG. Die Auswirkungen eines erfolgreichen Verwirkungsverfahrens dürften jedoch überschätzt, die Risiken hingegen unterschätzt werden.
Cognitive Abilities in Schizoid Personality Disorder with and without Borderline Intellectual Functioning: The Burden in Psychopathology
Authors: Galletta D. , Santoriello C. , Califano A.I. , Lauria I. , Santangelo G.
Published: January 2024

Background: Borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) and schizoid personality disorder (Schizoid PD) are clinical conditions under-researched and poorly understood. The principal aim of this retrospective study was to investigate cognitive abilities in people with BIF and Schizoid PD. Clinical, demographic, and neuropsychological data of forty-seven Schizoid PD participants, with an average age of 35, were analyzed. The sample split into two groups: Schizoid PD with BIF (BIF+: n = 24; intelligence quotient – IQ range: 71-84) and Schizoid PD without BIF (BIF-: n = 23; IQ range: 89-121). A descriptive analysis of the clinical and demographic characteristics of the two groups was performed.

Methods: Neuropsychological measures (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised – WAIS-R IQ, factor index, subtest scores) and cognitive performance deficits in the two groups were compared using parametric and non-parametric tests, as necessary. Correlation coefficients were calculated for relationships between variables. Regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors associated with negative outcomes, such as substance use behavior.

Results: The results revealed that the cognitive profile of BIF+ deviated significantly from that observed in BIF-. Peculiar BIF+ dysfunctions were found in the domains of verbal and perceptual reasoning, attention, memory, processing speed, planning, and problem-solving. The verbal IQ had the highest discriminative value for the presence of BIF in patients with Schizoid PD.

Conclusions: The BIF condition and the verbal comprehension index were the predictors most associated with substance use behavior. Early identification of BIF should be relevant to planning targeted intervention strategies to improve daily life skills and outcomes.

Published: January 2024

This study investigated the impact of motor skill interventions in improving motor proficiency among children with developmental delays following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis “PRISMA” recommendations. The included studies were searched on four databases: Google Scholar, PEDro, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library. Studies published during the year 2012 to 2022 were selected. The data was extracted by defining the publication year, type of study design, targeted population, and type of physical therapy intervention. The outcome measures included four components of motor proficiency: bilateral coordination, balance, speed and agility, and strength. The results revealed statistically significant findings and a large effect size for bilateral coordination (SMD=1.003, CI=95%) and speed and agility (SMD=0.854, CI=95%). However, a smaller effect size with significant findings was observed in the balance domains (SMD=0.333, CI=95%) and strength (SMD=0.337, CI=95%). Despite the promising results of the analyzed interventions, some of the included studies observed a high risk of bias. However, it is evident from the analysis that protocols directed toward advanced approaches have shown more promising results than traditional physical exercise regimens.

Authors: Stankova Margarita , Djalev Lubomir , Kamenski Tsveta , Mihova Polina
Published: January 2024

The aim of this paper is to present the Factor structure of the Bulgarian version of FOCUS on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six. The instrument is based on the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health – Children and Youth (ICF-CY), and it aims at tracing the effect of therapy on the child’s communication and participation in the real world. Our research is focused on the factor structure and reliability of the Parent’s form. The participants formed two samples, the main one consisting of 272 (mostly preschool children), males and females. The age of the subjects varied between 2.17 and 7.25 years, with a mean age of M = 4.91 years and SD = 1.10.

The latent structure of the questionnaire was examined in five phases – 1-test of the assumption of one-dimensionality; 2-exploratory factor analysis was applied to establish the factor model, based on data from an empirical study; 3-three possible factor models with a fixed number of factors were analyzed; 4-the factor models were compared through confirmatory factor analysis. The aim of the analyses was to select the most appropriate final model for the Bulgarian version of the questionnaire. The reliability analysis of the scales in the two-factor model was conducted through testing their internal consistency.

The two-factor model of the FOCUS questionnaire in Bulgarian shows a good orientation towards two specific functions – ‘capacity for communication’, and ‘performance’ or ‘communicative performance’. Due to its stable measurements related to functioning, this tool could be effectively used to practically assess the effect of therapy on children with development disorders.

Clan Culture and Performance Organization
Authors:   Garden City Premier Business School, Port Harcourt-Nigeria, Anya Udochukwu Bose
Published: January 2024

This paper seeks to understand the nature of the relationship that exists between clan culture and organisational performance. While numerous factors contribute to organizational performance, one aspect that holds immense potential is the cultivation of a clan culture. Clan culture, rooted in collaboration, shared values, and a strong sense of community, has proven to be a catalyst for driving organizational performance to new heights. We examined the influence of clan culture on organisational performance, while highlighting the benefits, and proposing ways to create a performance-focused clan culture. Theories such as organizational culture theory, social exchange theory, transformational leadership theory, and social identity theory were all discussed in the course of this research under the theoretical framework. While some authors through their studies revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between clan culture and organizational performance, others do not agree to it. On a different level, some researchers rather see this relationship as causal. After extant empirical and non-empirical reviews, this paper identifies a common ground for various positions and arguments from different authors. This work reveals that clan culture and organizational performance are not mutually exclusive; instead, they complement and reinforce each other. The synergy between clan culture and performance organization paves the way for sustained success, increased productivity, and a thriving organizational culture. Keywords: Clan Culture; Performance Organization; Collaboration; Teamwork
La falta de coordinación como problema de salud
Authors: Fernandez-M Maraver Marina , Dago Ana
Published: January 2024

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 92 años, que sufre un problema de salud agudo y acude a los servicios de urgencias de 2 centros sanitarios. La falta de acceso de los profesionales sanitarios a la historia clínica/farmacológica de la paciente, origina cambios en la medicación y una prescripción en cascada que tiene como consecuencia el deterioro de la salud en una paciente estable.
Cuando un paciente acude a distintos profesionales para resolver un problema de salud, la falta de un sistema común de repositorio de esa información con acceso directo de los profesionales lastra la resolución de los problemas de salud.

Authors: Hernández-Martín Julia , Jofre-Peralta Abrahán , Comet-Bernad Macarena , Pérez-Diez Cristina , Castellote-González Isabel , Compaired-Turlán Vicente
Published: January 2024

Objetivo: el objetivo principal de este trabajo es describir las actividades realizadas para la implantación del programa de atención farmacéutica a la primera residencia sociosanitaria privada vinculada a nuestro servicio de farmacia y detallar los recursos empleados. La iniciativa surgió de la necesidad de cumplimiento del Decreto 92/2019, del Gobierno de Aragón, por el que se regula la atención farmacéutica en los centros sociales de Aragón. El objetivo secundario es analizar el impacto económico y de actividad tras la implantación.
Método: el proceso de implantación se realizó entre junio y diciembre de 2020 en tres fases: análisis de la situación previa, preimplantación e implantación. Los recursos materiales y humanos utilizados fueron mínimos. El proceso farmacoterapéutico implantado contempla la prescripción en un módulo de la historia clínica electrónica que se sincroniza con el módulo de unidosis de Farmatools® del servicio de farmacia, validación farmacéutica y dispensación en dosis unitarias por paciente.
Resultado: el ahorro medio mensual en costes directos de medicamentos frente al modelo anterior fue de 4.080,81 € (48,97%). La aplicación del programa supone un incremento importante de la actividad del servicio (tiempo de validación, preparación y revisión de tratamientos, recepción de pedidos y reenvasado).
Conclusión: la implantación de programas de atención farmacéutica a centros sociosanitarios desde los servicios de farmacia consigue reducir costes directos en medicamentos. Sin embargo, los proyectos deben ir acompañados de presupuesto en personal y material para poder desarrollar una atención farmacéutica de calidad.

En el editorial de agosto del año pasado “Pharm Care Esp se adapta a los nuevos tiempos”, comentaba las mejoras que se estaban implementando en nuestra revista con los objetivos de mejorar la calidad de la misma e incrementar su visibilidad. 

La mejora de las características técnicas y formales, así como la calidad de los contenidos, es lo que permite que una revista científica esté indexada y de este modo pueda ser localizada en las bases de datos.

Son muchos los beneficios para una revista científica indexada, consigue visibilidad a nivel internacional, impulsa la credibilidad científica de los autores y favorece el intercambio de ideas y el desarrollo científico y técnico de su campo.

Hoy podemos decir que los pasos que se están dando van en la buena dirección y ya tenemos resultados. Nuestra revista tiene desde el pasado mes de abril un ISSN asignado a la versión en línea de la publicación (internet) y estamos tramitando el DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

Actualmente Pharm Care Esp está incluida en: Web of Sciencie que incluye revistas con altos niveles de rigor y buenas prácticas, Latindex, DIALNET, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS), MIAR (Matriu d´Informació per a l´ Anàlisi de Revistes), Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS) y Google Académico.

A su vez, hemos solicitado la entrada en REDIB que es una plataforma de contenidos científicos y académicos del ámbito iberoamericano, EBSCO (plataforma de investigación) y en DOAJ (Directory Open Access Journals), una base de datos de revistas de Ciencias Sociales, Medicina, Humanidades etc. con altos estándares de calidad. 

Desde sus inicios en 1999, Pharm Care Esp es una revista en español y así seguirá. Sin embargo, como podéis ver en este número, el comité editorial ha tomado la decisión de publicar algunos artículos en inglés y en español con el propósito de atraer a nuevos autores, aumentar las consultas y la citación de la revista y así alcanzar un mejor posicionamiento. 

Todo esto ha supuesto un esfuerzo por parte del equipo editorial, editores, revisores e investigadores a los que quiero agradecer su confianza en Pharm Care Esp. 

Nos queda mucho trabajo por hacer, pero estos avances nos dan ánimo para seguir trabajando, con el objetivo de hacer de Pharm Care Esp la revista de referencia en Atención Farmacéutica.

Authors: Carpes Hernandez María José , Cerdá Begoña , Ballester Navarro Purificación , Zafrilla Rentero Pilar
Published: January 2024

Introducción: Numerosos estudios demuestran que actualmente la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) está mal controlada e infradiagnosticada en numerosos pacientes debido a la utilización inadecuada de la farmacoterapia. El conocimiento de los pacientes sobre los complejos medicamentos que manejan puede no ser suficiente, y es aquí donde la dispensación activa del farmacéutico comunitario juega un papel esencial. Los objetivos de este artículo son medir la adherencia al tratamiento y el grado de satisfacción con la intervención del farmacéutico de los pacientes que utilizan inhaladores. 
Método: Se ha realizado un estudio observacional transversal en 105 pacientes diagnosticados de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) tratados con inhaladores y que acuden a la farmacia comunitaria. A todos los pacientes se les realizó el test de Morisky-Green de adherencia al tratamiento y un test para valorar el grado de satisfacción de los pacientes que utilizan inhaladores con la intervención del farmacéutico. 
Resultados: Presentan adherencia al tratamiento el 60% de los pacientes. La adherencia al tratamiento es superior en mujeres que en hombres, y mayor en pacientes de edad igual o superior a 65 años. Respecto al grado de satisfacción con el farmacéutico se observa que el 52,4 % de los pacientes considera adecuada la intervención llevada a cabo por el farmacéutico y el 43,8 % totalmente adecuada.
Conclusiones: Los pacientes con EPOC tienen una adherencia al tratamiento bastante mejorable y están satisfechos con la intervención del farmacéutico en la mejora de la utilización de los inhaladores.
Evaluación del consumo de antibióticos en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos desde 2016 a 2020 en un hospital de segundo nivel
Authors: González Furelos Tania , Rodríguez Legazpi Iria , Fraga Bueno Eva , Rodríguez Penín Isaura
Published: January 2024

Objetivo: La monitorización del consumo de antimicrobianos en los hospitales es una medida necesaria para evaluar el uso racional de estos medicamentos. El indicador principal para realizar esta monitorización y conocer la presión o exposición de los antimicrobianos a nivel hospitalario es la dosis diaria definida (DDD) por cada 100 estancias y día (e-d). El objetivo principal es analizar la evolución de la utilización de antibióticos en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) de un hospital de segundo nivel a lo largo de 5 años.
Métodos: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo que analiza el consumo de antibióticos en la UCI, realizando una comparativa con respecto a los datos globales del hospital, utilizando como unidad de medida las DDD/100 e-d.
Resultados: Se incluyeron 28 medicamentos, correspondientes a 25 principios activos. La media de consumo hospitalario global fue de 67,98; ascendiendo a 89,17 en la UCI. Se tiende a reducciones en los consumos hasta 2020, donde despuntan antibióticos como azitromicina o ceftriaxona. En la UCI los más consumidos en 2016 fueron meropenem y amoxicilina/clavulánico, seguidos de ciprofloxacino y piperacilina/tazobactam. Sin embargo, en 2020 meropenem y amoxicilina/clavulánico, aunque con valores más bajos, continúan siendo los más empleados, mientras que ciprofloxacino pasa a ser uno de los menos consumidos.
Conclusiones: El análisis de DDD/100 e-d en la UCI es una herramienta útil para monitorizar el consumo de antimicrobianos y ver las tendencias de consumos, lo que permitirá implementar medidas que promuevan el uso racional y seguro de estos fármacos.
Resultados de Servicio de Indicación Farmacéutica y Servicio de Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico en Farmacia Comunitaria como herramienta de optimización de la farmacoterapia en paciente polimedicado con tos persistente
Authors: Pérez Rodríguez Rafael Omar , Adsuar Meseguer Gonzalo Miguel
Published: January 2024

Se brindó Servicio de Indicación Farmacéutica y Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico (SFT) a una mujer de 61 años, exfumadora, diagnosticada de hipertensión y cáncer de mama, que presentaba tos persistente. Tomaba 4 medicamentos.
Tras revisión de la farmacoterapia y análisis de narrativas extraídas de entrevistas en profundidad, se determinó la presencia de tos como Problema Relacionado con Medicamentos (PRM) derivado del uso de un IECA (Inhibidor de la Enzima Convertidora de Angiotensina). Se realizaron derivaciones al Médico de Atención Primaria (MAP) proponiendo sustitución farmacológica por ARAII (Antagonista de Receptor de Angiotensina II), que fueron declinadas por no existir similitud de criterio clínico.
Durante este periodo la paciente acudió a médicos privados, probando diferentes tratamientos farmacológicos, así como a sesiones de medicina tradicional (acupuntura) sin obtener mejoría.
Tras un año de SFT, se logra aceptación de la propuesta del farmacéutico por el MAP, lo cual derivó en una resolución del PRM, un proceso de desmedicalización y una mejora en salud que permitió a la paciente retomar sus actividades cotidianas.

Published: January 2024

Objective: Oral cancers are one of the most common cancers in India. Tongue and lower gingiva-buccal sulcus are the most common subsites in oral cancers. Good reconstruction after resection of primary is a demanding task and determines quality of life. This study reviews our experience with infrahyoid flap (IHF) in reconstruction of small and medium sized defects after oral cancer resection. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively analyzes all patients of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma who underwent IHF flap by a single surgeon from July 2018 till June 2022 with a median follow‑up of 12 months. Results were analyzed based on characteristics of the patients, site and size of defect, postoperative complications and clinical outcome. Results: Out of 14 patients, 4 patients had skin paddle necrosis (2 total and 2 partial). None of the patient suffered a total flap loss. All cases of partial flap loss resolved with conservative treatment and none of the patient required a revision surgery or developed orocutaneous fistula. The largest flap size was 9 × 4.5 cm. Conclusion: The infrahyoid myocutaneous flap is a fairly reliable and easy to perform flap for small and medium‑sized defects of the oral cavity.
An analysis of problems of coexistence in schools in Catalunya. Suggestions for improvements
Authors: Felip Jacas Nuri , Puiggalí Apelluz Joan , Tesouro Cid Montserrat
Published: January 2024

This article aims to analyse the main conflicts that occur in infant and primary schools (from the ages of 3 to 12) in Catalunya, and the mechanisms schools use to prevent and resolve them.

A 30-question digital questionnaire was sent to school management teams in Catalunya and 481 replies were received.

The results showed a low level of conflict, with minor conflicts attributed to external causes, especially highlighting the inconsistencies between the values imparted in schools and in society. They also showed that proposals for improving coexistence are varied (curricular, organizational, professional and community-based) and that, for them to succeed, the participation of teachers and the motivation, awareness and leadership of management teams are essential.

Finally, the following areas of interest should continue to be studied: the importance of leadership; the need to share valuable school experiences; and the importance of initial teacher training in dealing with conflicts in schools.

En el presente trabajo se pretende analizar los principales conflictos, que tienen lugar en las escuelas de educación infantil y primaria de Cataluña (de 3 a 12 años), y los mecanismos de resolución y de prevención que se proponen desde los centros educativos.

Se aplicó un cuestionario electrónico de 30 preguntas a equipos directivos de Cataluña y se obtuvieron 481 respuestas.

Los resultados muestran un índice de conflictividad bajo, con conflictos leves que se achacan a causas externas, especialmente destacando las incoherencias entre los valores que se transmiten en la escuela y en la sociedad. También indican que las propuestas de mejora de la convivencia son de diversa índole (del ámbito curricular, organizativo, profesional y comunitario) y que, para el éxito de estas, son básicas la participación de los docentes, la motivación, la concienciación y el liderazgo del equipo directivo.

Finalmente se ha constatado la necesidad de continuar estudiando aspectos que se han manifestado de interés: la importancia del liderazgo, la necesidad de compartir las experiencias escolares valiosas y el valor de la formación inicial de los docentes para afrontar la conflictividad escolar.

The latest IAEA Neutron data standards were released in January 2018 (nds.iaea.org/standards/). This meeting was organized by the IAEA Nuclear Data Section to review the status of ongoing work for the development of the next version of the Neutron Data Standards that will be released within a few years. Due to a global pandemic (Covid-19), this meeting was conducted virtually during the week of 12-16 October 2020. There were 34 registered participants. Twenty-three talks were presented that addressed ongoing experimental and evaluation work for most of the Standard Cross Sections and Reference Cross Sections, as well as the development of updated evaluation methodologies, procedures, and codes. Presentations are available at nds.iaea.org/index-meeting-crp/CM-NDS-2020-10/. In the current work, priority is given and efforts are directed toward resolving existing discrepancies, establishing realistic uncertainties and correlations, and exploring the possibility of extending the applicable energy ranges of several important reactions in the suite of Standards and Reference Cross Sections through acquisition of new and/or improved data.

Metode quadrat analysis berupa grid(quadrat) yang digunakan untuk menentukan persebaran data yang dimiliki suatu dataset. Metode ini digunakan untuk mengetahui apakah dataset tersebut bersifat data kelompok (cluster), data tersebar (scattered) atau data acak (random). Hasil penelitian dapat terlihat korelasi pearson didapatkan bahwa hubungan antara event kebakaran dengan variabel rumah sakit, event kebakaran dengan variabel hydrant, dan event kebakaran dengan variabel pos pemadam kebakaran sangat kecil. Lokasi adanya rumah sakit, hydrant, dan pos pemadam yang ada di DKI Jakarta tidak berkaitan dengan lokasi kejadian kebakaran yang ada.
