Sources and Degradation of Sedimentary Organic Matter in Coastal	Waters off the Brantas River, Java, Indonesia
Authors: Propp Claudia , Jänen Ingo , Jennerjahn Tim
Published: November 2024

Organic matter (OM) processing in estuaries is crucial in the marine environment as significant quantities of OM are buried or modified in these land-ocean-interaction zones. Southeast Asia is globally important in this regard because of high sediment inputs to the ocean and intense human modifications in the coastal zone, as exemplarily can be observed in the catchment of Java's second largest river, the Brantas. In order to investigate sedimentary OM processing, surface sediments and short sediment cores were sampled in its estuary in the rainy and dry seasons of 2008. δ $^{13}$ C $_{org}$ , δ $^{15}$ N and C/N ratios as well as amino acids and hexosamines were used to determine the sources, transformation and fate of estuarine sedimentary organic matter. Ranges in δ $^{13}$ C $_{org}$ of −24.9 to −20.1‰, in δ $^{15}$ N of 3.5 to 5.4‰ and a C/N ratio of 7.9 to 16.5 in the sediments indicate a mixture of freshly produced marine algae and degraded terrestrial soil organic matter.

The relative contributions of the autochthonous and allochthonous OM in the estuarine sediments differed according to the amount and dispersal of the land-derived material. As the discharge of the two main river arms, the Porong and the Wonokromo River, showed strong differences with upto five-fold higher values in the Porong River in the rainy season, the highest proportion of terrestrial OM was found off the Porong river mouth that received the highest riverine runoff. Also the lowest sedimentary reactivity was detected in this region as displayed by amino acids (AA) and hexosamines (HA). AA+HA ranged between 0.76 and 5.25 mg g $^{-1}$ , amino acid bound carbon between 5.9 and 22.6% and the AA/HA ratio between 4.2 and 13.0. Furthermore, a reduced intensity of OM degradation was observed in front of the Porong River outlet, which has been attributed to the high quantity of deposited material and the low reactivity of the surface sediments. In a global context, the reactivity of sedimentary OM from the Brantas estuary was in the range of degraded sediments from offshore regions or stations at greater water depth. It indicates that severe OM degradation based on a strong tidally induced resuspension of sediments in the turbid and well mixed waters of the shallow Brantas estuary is responsible for burial of refractory carbon.

Published: November 2024

Puri city is situated near Bay of Bengal where there is a balanced interface of sea water and fresh water near the coast line. The city receives water from the groundwater sources and the quality of ground water is being maintained. The main objective of the paper is to assess the quality of ground water using statistical techniques and the suitability of this water for its utility was verified using Indian drinking water standards. Groundwater samples were collected from various specific areas during post and pre- monsoon seasons and analyzed for physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters and compared with standards. The ground water is mainly polluted due to the domestic effluent, which contains detergents, human and animal excreta, industrial waste and cremation of human and animal bodies. The study showed that concentration of quality parameters were more in the city area as compared to the water fields due to the various anthropogenic activities taking place in the city. Based on the spatial and temporal assessment of groundwater quality, various mitigation measures were suggested for improving the groundwater quality of the Puri city.

Authors: Mumba Peter P. , Kambwiri Edgar
Published: November 2024

A study was carried out to assess the water quality of incoming, outgoing and a receiving stream water from a furrow irrigated sugar plantation. pH did not vary significantly at the three sampling points in the rainy season, but differences were observed in the dry season with incoming water having the highest value (p < 0.05) and outgoing water the least. Dissolved solids were highest (p < 0.05) in the incoming water in both seasons while in the rainy season, the lowest value was in the outgoing water. In the rainy season, sulphate and phosphate were higher (p < 0.05) in the incoming water while the amounts in the outgoing water and in the stream did not differ. Water hardness was highest in the outgoing and lowest in the incoming water in both seasons. Chloride was highest (p < 0.05) in the outgoing water in both seasons and the values in the incoming water and in the stream did not differ. Nitrate was higher in outgoing water compared to the incoming and stream water in the rainy season, while in the dry season, the concentration was highest in the stream. Copper was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the incoming water compared to the other points in the two seasons. All the parameters were below the standard limits and this demonstrated that the threat to water quality in the stream was minimal. The scheme may still cause some grave impact in the receiving stream, such that in a few years, serious water quality deterioration could take place.

Published: November 2024

Surface seawater samples collected in Natuna coastal waters were analyzed for 17 parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to get insight their presence for their toxic and carcinogenic impacts. The study was aimed to collect some PAHs preliminary data for baseline data as Natuna coastal waters are susceptible from this contamination possibly arisen from oil spills, shipping activities and mariculture industries. The samples were collected from 10 selected stations along the survey location. The results showed that total PAH concentrations at the sampling sites ranged <0.02–5.84 μg/L. A higher concentration was found in the northwest of Sedanau Islands with PAH compound dominated by acenaphthene at 4.5 μg/L. The value is still acceptable for aquatic resources in seawater. Wind and tidal profiles in the location were also presented in the study to get insights on the PAH migration which varied depending on the direction and speed of each profile. It can be concluded that the PAH profile in Natuna coastal water is still low and feasible for aquatic resources and marine environment.

Published: November 2024

The commercial and economic successes of our country can be attributed to the coal industry to a great extent. Coal continues to be the primary energy source and to meet the energy and other requirements a number of coal-based industries have been established. These industries have the potential of generating and releasing large quantities of pollutants to the environment. Among these, the release of various liquid effluents, which are associated with coal during the carbonization, cleaning and combustion processes are a major concern. The coal-based industries, such as by-product coke-plants, coal washeries and thermal power plants release their liquid effluents, which need urgent attention for the treatment, before they are discharged into the fresh water streams. In the present work, water qualities of three coal-based industries from Odisha viz. National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Angul; Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), Rourkela; and National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Talcher, have been evaluated. Nine stations were selected for collecting water samples and were analyzed for nineteen physico-chemical parameters as per standard procedure. A careful study of the water quality results reveals that one water sample each from Nalco Ash Pond and RSP, Rourkela were comparatively more polluted than the other water samples.

Published: November 2024

In the present study, metallothionein (MT) proteins and cDNA were isolated from Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) livers. Immunochemical protocols (i.e. an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot) were developed for quantification of MT protein levels in Asian sea bass. These were applied to analyze MT protein levels in 15 different feral fish species from two different areas, one urban area Angsila and one industrial area Map Ta Phut in the Gulf of Thailand. An MT protein band was detected in Shrimp scad (Alepes djadaba) and Indian ilisha (Ilisha melastoma) from both areas. Higher MT protein expressions were seen in shrimp scad from cadmium-contaminated areas near shore as well as off shore. These results suggest that induction of hepatic MT immunoreactive proteins in the shrimp scad may be a good early warning signal for heavy metal exposure in environmental monitoring programmes in Thailand waters. Protocol for quantification of MT mRNA levels in Asian sea bass was developed using quantitative PCR. Asian sea bass were exposed in the lab to different doses of CdNO $_3$ and sampled at different times after injection. There appears to be a bi-phasic dose-response pattern with highest MT mRNA levels in fish injected with 4 mg CdNO $_3$ /kg. In these fish, the highest expression was seen after one day and lowest induction after three days. These results suggest that induction of MT mRNA levels in Asian sea bass liver can be used as a sensitive early warning signal for cadmium exposure in tropical waters.

Published: November 2024

The rapid growth of the population, the technological and industrial boom has brought enormous problems and degradation of the environment. Pollution caused by sewage discharged from cities and towns is the primary cause for degradation of water resources. Hence a proper and planned sewage treatment is needed.

Gurgaon city hosts two sewage treatment plants located in Dhanwanpur village. These plants are designed and constructed with an aim to manage wastewater so as to minimize and/or remove organic matter, solids, disease-causing organisms and other pollutants, before disposal. This article evaluates and compares the actual behaviour of full-scale anaerobic and aerobic wastewater treatment plants in operation in Gurgaon, providing information on the performance of the processes in terms of the quality of the generated effluent and the removal efficiency achieved. The observed results of effluent concentrations and removal efficiencies of the constituents TSS, BOD, COD, VSS and BOD/COD ratio have been compared with the typical expected performances as per the standards given by CPCB. The treatment technologies selected for study were anaerobic-UASB and aerobic-ASP plants. The results, confirmed by statistical tests, showed that, in general, the best performance was achieved by ASP, but closely followed by UASB reactor, when operating with any kind of post-treatment. It was revealed from the performance study that efficiency of the two treatment plants was adequate with respect to removal of TSS, BOD, COD and VSS. In UASB, TSS, BOD, COD and VSS removal efficiency was 90.2, 87.4, 86.96 and 86.4% respectively, while in ASP, TSS, BOD, COD and VSS removal efficiency was 88.8, 90.07, 84.15 and 90.5 % respectively. The order of removal efficiency was VSS < COD < BOD < TSS and COD < TSS < BOD < VSS respectively in UASB and ASP STPs. Additionally, the problems associated with the operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment plants is discussed.

Published: November 2024

Plankton diversity and physico-chemical parameters are important criteria for evaluating the suitability of water for irrigation and drinking purposes. In this study, we tried to assess the zooplankton species richness, diversity, and evenness and to predict the state of three selected studied sites of Durgapur industrial town according to physico-chemical parameters. Cyclopoid Copepods, Calonoid Copepods, Cladocera and Rotifers were found among the three studied sites. Copepods were found to be dominant for all the studied sites during the monsoon period. Higher species richness and abundance were recorded in Padmapukur followed by domestic sewage canal and agricultural run-off pond. The water samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, nitrate, phosphate, hardness, dissolved oxygen, TDS, chloride, GPP, CR and NPP. High values of parameters are recorded in summer period and low values are recorded in winter period. The zooplankton population shows positive significant correlation with physico-chemical parameters like humidity and total dissolved solid. From the overall study it can be concluded that Padmapukur wetland is highly productive in terms of zooplankton distribution and abundance and therefore needs prior conservation for its suitable use for drinking and irrigation purpose.

Authors: Sharan Anand M. , Pathak Manabendra
Published: November 2024

In this work, water flow in the Ganga River has been analyzed based on the available data starting from the year 1850 to the average of years 2002 to 2006 at Farakka in West Bengal. The flow has been related with rainfall data in the Ganga basin starting in the year 1980, and the average rainfall data in the years 2002 to 2006. The year 1980 has been chosen based on the fact that after this year the global warming trend has increased (Adhikari and Huybrechts, 2009). The location at Farakka has been chosen to incorporate the contributions of entire Himalayan glaciers in enhancing the flow of Ganga upstream of Farakka. This way, the results have been presented to include the effects of glaciers melting at the source of Ganga and also the contributions of other rivers which are tributaries of Ganga. The result shows that there is significant effect of global warming on melting of Himalayan glaciers and the flow rate of Ganga.

Published: November 2024

The slaughterhouse and meat processing units generate large volumes of wastewater containing high organic and nitrogenous substances (COD, NH $_4^+$ -N), which require considerable degree of treatment before discharge to the water body. In this regard, selecting an effective treatment system is important. Amongst various biological treatment systems sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is comparatively noble bioreactor system for treating waste containing carbon and nitrogen simultaneously. The performance of a 20 L sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treating wastewater discharged from a local small-scale slaughterhouse was examined in the laboratory at ambient temperature. The reactor was operated under three different variations of aerobic-anoxic sequence, viz. 4+4, 5+3 and 3+5 hours of total react period with influent soluble COD (SCOD) and ammonia nitrogen level 1000 ± 50 mg/L & 90 ±; 10 mg/L and 2000 ± 50 mg/L & 180 ± 10 mg/L, respectively. It has been observed that 80 to 96% of SCOD removal would be possible at the end of eight hours of overall reaction period, irrespective of the length of the aerobic react period. In case of 4+4 aerobic-anoxic operating cycle, reasonable degree of nitrification 89.48% and 81.58% corresponding to initial NH $_4^+$ -N value of 87.52 mg/L and 185.24 mg/L respectively, along with 94.07% and 90.23% of organic carbon removal corresponding to initial SCOD value of 1015.24 mg/L and 2028.55 mg/L respectively, have been achieved after eight hours of react period for treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater in SBR.

Authors: Das Rajib , Karmakar Paramita , Nath Susanta
Published: November 2024

The physico-chemical characteristics of Hooghly river water and drain water falling in the same river have been studied. Five sampling stations namely, Bataghat (BATA), Bagkhal (BAGK), Baromandir ghat (BARO), Ghoshpara (GHOS), and Sakherbazar ghat (SAKH) are situated in highly populated as well as industrial belt of West Bengal, India. Sampling was done between November 2009 and June 2010 to measure transparency, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, pH, alkalinity, hardness, calcium, magnesium and salinity. Alkalinity at Bataghat river water and Baghkhal sewage water almost maintained more than desirable limit (IS: 200 mg l $^{-1}$ ) and other places maintained high alkalinity during winter. pH was almost acidic which was not desirable (IS: 6.5 to 8.5). Though dissolved oxygen maintained a desirable limit in river water, but free carbon dioxide was very high almost throughout the study period. Hardness reached upto 360 mg l $^{-1}$ in river water at Bataghat which was more than desirable (IS: 300 mg l $^{-1}$ ). The study indicated that the Hooghly river water is polluting regularly and becoming unsuitable for aquatic animals. People who used to bathe in the river were found affected by different skin diseases and had a serious gastric problem like dysentery due to intake of the water.
Permeability of Sand-bentonite and Sand-fly Ash Mixtures
Authors: Shankara  , Naik Maya , Sivapullaiah P.V.
Published: November 2024

Laboratory hydraulic conductivity (HC) tests have been conducted on mixtures of fine sand with bentonite and fly ash with four fluids with different pH and metal concentrations with a view to assess their suitability for liner constructions for waste containment facilities. HC of sand-bentonite mixtures which was low, due to effective reduction void ratio because of swelling of negatively charged bentonite particles, further reduces with increase in the density and with increase in the pH of the fluid by increase in the cation exchange capacity and fabric of the clay assuming relatively more dispersed structure. The hydraulic conductivity of mixtures of fly ash sand were higher and were in the range of 1 × 10 $^{-5}$ cm/s which however decreases slightly with increase in the density. HC of sand fly ash mixtures with increase in pH of the solution due to increase in the reactivity of fly ash in alkaline medium produces more pozzolanic compounds leading to reduction in the void ratio. It is also found, however, that hydraulic conductivity of fly ash mixtures is not suitable for liner application. The precipitation of metal ions at higher pH in sand fly ash mixtures may reduce the HC depending on the concentration of metal ions. However, bentonite needs to be incorporated to lower the HC range required for liner application. Thus both sand bentonite and sand fly ash-bentonite mixtures can be used for liner application for waste containment facilities.

Authors: Venkatesan G. , Rajagopalan V. , Selvaraj M.
Published: November 2024

Water as a resource, fundamental amenity and universal solvent is shared by inhabitants. The tanning industry is one of the oldest industries in India. The tanning industry is an especially large contributor of pollutants to water resources. Concentration of pollutants more than their permissible limits in potable water leads to health problems, such as water-borne diseases like fluorosis, typhoid, jaundice, cholera, premature baby and other problems, especially in infants. The water samples were taken from the villages Sembattu and Gundur and there are twelve numbers of tanneries working in this area. Various physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, chloride (Cl), total hardness CaCO3 (TH), nitrate (NO3), sulphate (SO4) and alkalinity have been analysed. In the analyses, chloride and hardness content in groundwater were on higher side compared with Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) and World Health Organization (WHO) standards but the level of sulphate was within permissible limit. It is evident that groundwater quality is gradually getting deteriorated and it may deteriorate further with time. The results envisaged that the quality of groundwater around tanneries areas is poor, and is not suitable for drinking purpose and can only be used after proper treatment.

Published: November 2024

The aggregate stability is essential for water infiltration, soil aeration and root penetration resistance, impacting water infiltration, moisture retention, soil aeration and root penetration resistance. Inadequate agricultural practices can limit root growth, cause compaction, reduce water infiltration and increase water erosion. This study evaluated the stability of aggregates of an Ultisol in the Amazon, including different ecosystems: natural forest, natural savannah, forest converted to pasture and savannah converted to pasture. Three soil depths were analyzed at 0.00 to 0.10 m, 0.10 to 0.20 m and 0.20 to 0.40 m. The properties evaluated included aggregate classes, geometric mean diameter, weighted mean diameter, dispersed clay, degree of clay flocculation, sensitivity index and organic matter. The results showed that the conversion of natural environments to pasture did not significantly affect aggregate stability indices, suggesting that proper pasture management can maintain the structural quality of the soil.

Доведено, що його впровадження сприяє підвищенню ефективності використання ресурсів та скороченню операційних витрат, що, в свою чергу, позитивно впливає на фінансові показники підприємств. Обґрунтовано, що компанії, які застосовують принципи сталого розвитку та інтегрують екологічні, соціальні та управлінські (ESG) аспекти, зміцнюють свою репутацію на міжнародній арені та мають кращий доступ до капіталу від інвесторів, що підтримують сталі ініціативи. Водночас доведено, що впровадження гнучких методологій управління проєктами, таких як Agile та Scrum, значно підвищує шанси на успішне завершення проєктів, покращує якість результатів та забезпечує адаптивність у складних умовах зовнішнього середовища. Обґрунтовано, що інтеграція цифрових технологій, зокрема автоматизованих систем управління проєктами (PMS) та аналітичних платформ на основі штучного інтелекту (AI), дозволяє знижувати операційні ризики, скорочувати час на виконання проєктів та підвищувати точність прогнозів. Аргументовано, що управління ризиками є ще одним важливим фактором для українських підприємств, які реалізовують міжнародні проєкти, особливо в умовах геополітичної нестабільності. Доведено, що застосування стратегічного планування для управління ризиками знижує кількість критичних затримок на 20%, що сприяє стабільному виконанню проєктів. Крім того, обґрунтовано, що українські компанії, які інвестують в екологічні та енергозберігаючі технології, не тільки знижують свої операційні витрати, але й підвищують свою конкурентоспроможність на міжнародному рівні. Таким чином, комплексне застосування стратегічного планування, гнучких методологій, управління ризиками та впровадження сталого розвитку є вирішальними факторами успішного управління міжнародними бізнес-проєктами, що сприяє довгостроковому успіху та фінансовій стабільності підприємств.
ЧИННИКИ, ЩО ЗУМОВЛЮЮТЬ ВЧИНЕННЯ КОНТРАБАНДИ
Authors: Сапожник Д. І.
Published: November 2024

Контрабанда як склад злочину є одним із найсерйозніших і найбільш поширених злочинів, вона безпосередньо загрожує не тільки економічній сфері, а й національній безпеці. Ухилення від митних зборів, незаконне переміщення товарів на об’єктах транспорту завдають величезної шкоди економічним інтересам держави. Проблеми протидії контрабанді останнім часом становлять особливу актуальність у плані її нормативно-правового та організаційного забезпечення, що об’єктивно висуває на перший план дослідження причинного комплексу як самої контрабанди, так і відповідних змін у законодавстві. Стаття присвячена розгляду контрабанди як економіко-кримінологічного явища, а також написана з огляду на необхідність вироблення надалі заходів із протидії їй. Завданням дослідження ставилося проаналізувати чинники, які безпосередньо детермінують явище контрабанди. Серед чинників виділено: морально-психологічні, політичні, соціально-економічні, організаційно-управлінські та правові. Зазначено: морально-психологічні чинники є наслідком відсутності державної ідеології, що орієнтує на правомірне вирішення проблем, пов’язаних із набуттям власності. У такій обстановці у свідомість українців впроваджується культ збагачення незаконним шляхом, поширення в житті суспільства традицій, правил та інших атрибутів кримінальної субкультури, тобто відбувається глобальна криміналізація свідомості та поведінки громадян. Розглянуто чинники політичні (наслідком є доволі низька ефективність функціонування системи митного контролю і, як наслідок, контрабанда); соціально-економічні чинники (наслідок поляризації населення за рівнем доходів і низький рівень життя більшої частини населення держави, що призводить до високого рівня соціальної напруги між різними верствами); чинники організації та управління митною та прикордонною інфраструктурами; правові чинники (наслідок недосконалості, неузгодженості і мінливості митного та кримінального законодавства, декриміналізації товарної контрабанди). Зроблено висновок, що визначення основних чинників, які сприяють вчиненню контрабанди, має не тільки теоретичне, а й практичне значення, тому що дає можливість виробити заходи впливу (попередження) на контрабанду з урахуванням особливостей її прояву, як у масштабах усієї країни, так і в окремих її регіонах.
THE INFLUENCE OF CORRUPTION ON THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE STATE: AN ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIORAL FACTORS AND THEIR ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES
Authors:   JSC “Ukrposhta”, Khavanov Artem
Published: November 2024

The article examines corruption as a major threat to economic security. It delves into the behavioral aspects
driving corrupt practices in both public and private sectors, focusing on social norms, institutional constraints, and
personal incentives that foster corrupt behavior. By analyzing these factors, the article seeks to understand how they
contribute to creating an environment where corruption becomes systemic, making its impacts more pervasive and
challenging to combat. The economic consequences of corruption are scrutinized in detail, including reduced investment attractiveness, slower economic growth, and increased inequality. These negative impacts weaken the foundations of economic security, reducing a country’s capacity to compete on the global stage and limiting its potential
for sustainable development. Additionally, corruption undermines public trust in governmental institutions, which
is critical for the stability and functionality of any economic system. The research suggests that as corruption erodes
the effectiveness of institutions and the reliability of public policies, it leads to inefficient allocation of resources,
thus compounding economic vulnerabilities. To address these challenges, the article proposes methods to minimize
corruption risks, including enhancing transparency, strengthening accountability measures, and fostering a strong
anti-corruption culture across various levels of society. This involves not only the implementation of stringent
regulatory frameworks but also behavioral shifts that discourage corrupt activities by promoting ethical standards
and public awareness. The study highlights the necessity for an integrated approach to anti-corruption efforts that
combines both institutional reforms and behavioral changes to secure economic stability. Such a strategy aims to
mitigate the root causes of corruption, ultimately supporting sustainable economic growth and reinforcing economic
security in the face of global challenges. In conclusion, the article emphasizes the critical role of comprehensive
anti-corruption strategies in safeguarding economic security. By integrating behavioral insights with robust policy
measures, nations can fortify their economies against corruption’s detrimental effects, ensuring a resilient foundation for long-term economic and social advancement.

Authors: Gradolph Cadierno Juan Enrique
Published: November 2024

Las empresas deben contar con diversas capacidades y recursos para superar los obstáculos inherentes al proceso de internacionalización. Estas necesidades varían en función de características como su sector de actividad, tamaño o antigüedad. Algunas de estas características también están vinculadas al género de las personas que detentan su propiedad mayoritaria o ejercen su dirección. Es decir, que las lideran.
En este artículo se estudian las necesidades de las empresas de servicios no turísticos internacionalizadas, a partir de los resultados de la Encuesta sobre Estrategias de Internacionalización de Servicios, incorporando la perspectiva de género. El análisis da lugar a conclusiones que pueden resultar útiles para el diseño de políticas de apoyo a la internacionalización que contribuyan a los objetivos transversales de igualdad de género.
Making Decisions in the Era of the Clinical Decision Rule: How Emergency Physicians Use Clinical Decision Rules
Authors: Chan Teresa M. , Mercuri Mathew , Turcotte Michelle , Gardiner Emily , Sherbino Jonathan , Wit Kerstin de
Published: November 2024

Purpose: Physicians are often asked to integrate clinical decision rules (CDRs) with their own cognitive processes to reach a diagnosis. Clinicians, researchers, and educators must understand these cognitive processes to evaluate and improve the diagnostic process. The authors sought to explore emergency physicians' diagnostic processes and to examine how they integrated CDRs into their reasoning using simulated cases (with chest pain or leg pain).

Method: From August 2015 to July 2016, 16 practicing emergency physicians from 3 teaching hospitals associated with McMaster University, Ontario, Canada, were interviewed via a novel "teach aloud" protocol. Six videos of simulated patients with chest pain, breathlessness, or leg discomfort were used as prompts for the physicians to demonstrate their diagnostic thinking. Using a constructivist grounded theory analysis, 3 investigators independently reviewed the interview transcripts, meeting regularly to discuss identified themes and subthemes until sufficiency was reached.

Results: A model to describe how clinicians integrate their own decision making with CDRs was developed, showing that physicians engage in an iterative diagnostic process that repeatedly refines the differential diagnosis list. The steps in the diagnostic process were: refinement of the differential diagnosis, ordering a hierarchy of risk, the decision to test, choosing the tests, and interpreting test results. Physicians applied CDRs when they had already decided to test.

Conclusions: To date, CDRs assume a static, linear model of clinical decision making. Findings demonstrate that participants engaged in iterative and dynamic decision-making processes that changed throughout their patient encounter, contingent on multiple contextual features. Understanding these processes could inform future development of CDRs and educational strategies around these decision aids.

Authors: Zahran Talitha Annora , Rachman R. Ayu Firdausi Novira
Published: November 2024

Indonesia memiliki ragam budaya yang kaya, termasuk budaya suku Dayak. Globalisasi dan kehidupan modern berdampak pada budaya dan adat istiadat suku Dayak, yang lambat laun mulai ditinggalkan. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan dan mempertahankan budaya Nusantara, khususnya budaya Dayak, yang tercermin dalam interior cottage. Seiring dengan meningkatnya jumlah wisatawan dari dalam dan luar negeri, begitu pula dengan kualitas dan kuantitas fasilitas dan infrastruktur, termasuk cottage. Back-to-Nature menjadi konsep untuk mendesain cottage dengan memasukkan unsur budaya Dayak ke dalamnya sehingga wisatawan dapat merasakan ketenangan dan keaslian alam sekaligus mengetahui dan menghormati warisan budaya Dayak. Salah satu cara seorang desainer interior untuk menunjukkan rasa hormat terhadap budaya adalah dengan memasukkan aspek-aspek budaya ke dalam konsep desain interior. Penelitian ini, yang memasukkan cottage sebagai salah satu penginapan wisata, memiliki potensi untuk berkontribusi pada keberlangsungan budaya lokal dan pertumbuhan pariwisata di Indonesia. Metode desain yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif, dengan data yang dikumpulkan dari studi literatur dan sumber internet dan dianalisis secara sistematis, sehingga menghasilkan luaran berupa gambar kerja desain cottage yang sesuai dengan konsep Back-to-Nature dengan pengaruh budaya Dayak.
