Authors: Prasetio Fransiscus Bryan , Wellem Theophilus
Published: August 2022

Android-based applications have been widely used to do daily activities such as online shopping, playing games, video streaming, and watching sports matches. One of the most commonly used applications is applications that assist people for flight or train ticket reservations, hotel bookings, and other recreation purposes. Some tourism companies in Indonesia also develop Android-based applications to provide information and services for their business. Nevertheless, with many tourism destinations in Indonesia, not all tourist attractions have services through Android-based applications published on the Google Play Store. This study aims to design and implement Android-based applications for tourism information services in two tourist attractions as the case study, namely Tay Kak Sie Temple in Semarang City and Beach tourism in Bangka Island, to help tourists obtaining information about both tourist attractions. Both applications are implemented using Compro Mobile App Builder. The testing results using the black box method demonstrate that the implementation of the two applications can run according to the specified specifications.

Introduction

A low concentration of ketamine is used to cause an anti-depressive effect. The mechanism of ketamine's action in depression is believed to result, among others, from its anti-inflammatory activity. Despite the fact that only high concentrations of ketamine inhibit bacterial growth, it is clear that even a sub-inhibitory concentration of chemicals may change bacterial properties. Considering the above, in the current study we aimed to evaluate the in vitro influence of ketamine on proliferation of enterococci and their interactions with monocytes.

Materials and Methods

The studied strains were isolated as etiological agents of infection at Medical University of Gdansk. The proliferation and metabolic activity were determined using the FACSVerse flow cytometer after addition of CFDA-SE to bacterial suspension. For the determination of phagocytosis resistance, THP-1 human monocytes cell line was used. Suspension of monocytes which engulfed CFDA-SE–stained bacteria was then stained with propidium iodide to evaluate cytotoxicity of enterococci.

Results

The result of the study showed unexpected response of bacterial cells to ketamine at an early stage of culture. In 57.7% of strains, both proliferation rate and metabolic activity were boosted. This group of strains was also less susceptible to phagocytosis than in culture without ketamine. Different response of isolates to ketamine was also visible in changes of proteins’ profile determined by MALDI-TOF.

Conclusions

The analysis of bacteria at an early stage in the growth curve demonstrated the bacterial diversity in response to ketamine and let us set the hypothesis that microbiome susceptibility to ketamine may be one of the elements which should be taken into consideration when planning the successful pharmacotherapy of depression
How important are remittances to savings? Evidence from the Latin America and the Caribbean Countries
Authors: Nnyanzi John Bosco , Kilimani Nicholas , Oryema John Bosco
Published: August 2022

This paper investigates the direct and the indirect roles of migrant transfers in the saving behaviors of the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) countries during the period 1997–2018. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) panel estimation technique, the results based on the Pooled Mean Group approach provide strong evidence of the importance of inward remittances to savings. On average, an increase in inward remittances by 1% leads to about 0.10% increase in savings ceteris paribus, but the effect is quantitatively larger in the short-run than in the long-run, albeit more significant in the latter case. Quite outstanding here is the observation of the detrimental role of remittances on savings in the long-run once governance quality in aggregate and disaggregated forms are controlled for, suggesting possible adverse effects of remittances for economic development in the long-run. Nevertheless, macroeconomic stability as well as institutional quality, foreign direct investment (FDI), and foreign aid were found to be important moderators of the remittances–savings linkage. For the latter two variables, emphasis is on complementarity rather than substitutability between remittances, aid, and FDI. While in the short-run remittances appear to perform better in enhancing savings in countries where an improvement in corruption control is visible, political rights and civil liberties compliment migrant transfers in propelling savings in the long- and short-runs, respectively. Moreover, remittances are found to play a major role in ameliorating the adverse effects of the financial crisis on savings, just as they are observed to function as a lifeline to savings in countries with increasing macroeconomic instability in form of inflation, in the long-run. The findings are robust to the use of alternative estimation techniques. Policy recommendations are suggested.

The use of herbal medicines as antioxidants has increased recently. One of them is gaharu leaf (Gyrinops versteegii). Gaharu plants have been widely used by people to treat various types of diseases. Papuan people have used the roots, bark and leaves of gaharu as malaria medicine and skin treatment. This research intended to ascertain the total content of flavonoids and antioxidant capacity of the n-hexane fraction in gaharu leaves’ extract. A total amount of 100 g dry powders of gaharu leaves, with water content of 8.59%, macerated with 96% ethanol, resulted in 10 g of concentrated extract obtained by evaporation using vacuum rotary evaporator. This extract then proceeded to the fractionation stage using solvents such as n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate. The results obtained were 5.66 g of n-hexane, 2.23 g of chloroform, 0.85 g of ethyl acetate and 1.14 g of the remaining water extract. Phytochemical screening showed that the n-hexane extract positively contained flavonoids with the highest total flavonoid contents of 1557.66 mg QE/100 g. In-vitro test for the antioxidant activity of the n-hexane fraction utilizing the procedure of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) showed the IC50 value of 126.76 ppm. These results indicate that the n-Hexane fraction of gaharu leaves’ extract has a high total flavonoid contents and consists of active antioxidant compounds with medium capacity.

Keywords: oxidative stress, flavonoids, fraction n-Hexane, DPPH and antioxidant

Lead (Pb) is a common pollutant found in agricultural soils and often contaminates the plants growing on the soil. One way to reduce the content of heavy metal contamination such as Pb in agricultural soil is through phytoremediation. The purpose of this study was to reduce the content of Pb in agricultural soils. The method used was remediation by planting gumitir (Tagetes erecta L.) plants on the soil added with various concentrations of Pb2+. The results showed that before planting with gumitir, the soil A, B, C added with Pb of 100; 200; and 400 mg Pb/kg soil, respectively, having the concentration of 108,97±2,25; 214,18±5,47; and 447,04±4.89 mg/kg, respectively, while on the harvesting time the concentration of Pb was 100,52±1,66; 170,04±2,88; and 397,98±2,24 mg/kg, respectively. The part of the plant that absorbed the highest Pb was the root, which was 47,01±4,52 mg/kg. The effectiveness of Pb absorption by gumitir plants in A, B, and C soils were <50% with TF and BCF values ??< 1, so the mechanism in accumulating lead metal is less effective or called phytostabilization.

Published: August 2022

One way to reduce phosphate levels in water is by adsorption. Adsorption is considered as the best wastewater treatment method because the main material, namely adsorbent, is abundant and easy to use. This research was conducted to determine the ability of zeolite combined with bentonite to adsorb phosphate in water, the optimum time, the pattern of adsorption isotherms and the adsorption capacity. The studies included the characterization of the adsorbent as well as its application to adsorb phosphate with various contact times and concentrations. The surface area of the adsorbents was characterized by the methylene blue adsorption method and the active site by acid-base titration. The specific surface area of ??each adsorbent had almost the same value, but the largest was the combination of zeolite: bentonite (1:1) which was 45.9637 m2/g. The largest active site of the adsorbent was the combination of zeolite: bentonite (1:1) adsorbent, which is 1.2842×1024 sites/g adsorbent. All the zeolite : bentonite combination adsorbents had the same optimum contact time of 24 hours. The zeolite: bentonite (5:0) followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm pattern, while the zeolite : bentonite (1:1) followed the Freundlich isotherm pattern. Zeolite : bentonite (5:0), (1:1), and (0:5) had the optimum adsorption capacity at the concentration of 100 ppm with the percentage of phosphate adsorbed of 96.66; 97.67; 97.02%, respectively, so it showed that the zeolite : bentonite (1:1) adsorbed the most phosphate.

Keywords: adsorption, bentonite, phosphate, zeolite.

Amaç: Diyabet metabolik bir hastalıktır ve gebeliğin en sık görülen komplikasyonudur. Retrospektif olarak yaptığımız bu çalışmada, gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus saptanan gebelerde, HbA1c düzeyleri ile perinatal sonuçlar arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız, Ocak 2010 ile Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında, Doğu Anadolu’da referans merkez olan Atatürk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi kadın hastalıkları ve doğum polikliniğine başvuran, 22 hafta ve üzerinde gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus tanısı alan, doğumu kliniğimizde gerçekleştirilmiş çalışma grubunun (93 vaka) verilerini, diyabetik olmayan kontrol grubunun (208 vaka) verilerini ve yenidoğan yoğun bakıma yatış verilerini kapsamaktadır.Bulgular: Gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus olan grup; HbA1c düzeyi %6.5 ve üzerinde (37 hasta) ve %6.5’un altında (56 hasta) olan iki alt gruba ayrılarak kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus olan ve olmayan gruplar arasında sırasıyla; yaş, abortus sayısı, ölü doğum sayısı, doğum şekli ve 1. dakika APGAR skoru açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görülmedi (p>0.05). Gravida, parite ve yaşayan sayısı yönünden anlamlı fark olup (p=0.005, p=0.003), bu farkın nedeni kontrol grubuna göre HbA1c <%6.5 olan gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus grubunun gravida ve paritesinin daha düşük olmasıydı (sırayla p=0.004, p=0.005 ve p=0.020, p=0.007 ve p=0.038). Gebelik haftalarına bakılarak olguların dağılımları incelendiğinde, kontrol grubuna göre HbA1c ≥%6.5 olan gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus grubunda term oranı istatistiksel olarak daha düşük, geç preterm oranı ise daha yüksekti (p<0.001 ve p=0.008). HbA1c <%6.5 olan gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus grubunda bebek doğum ağırlığı daha yüksek (p<0.001), her iki alt grupta makrozomi görülme sıklığı daha yüksek bulundu (p=0.023 ve p=0.005). HbA1c ≥%6.5 olan gestasyonel diyabetes mellitus grubunda yenidoğan yoğun bakım gereksinimi daha fazlaydı (p<0.001).Sonuç: Diyabetik gebelerdeki HbA1c değerleri ile yenidoğan yoğun bakım yatış oranları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, maternal HbA1c seviyesinin yenidoğan yoğun bakıma yatış açısından bir risk faktörü olarak kullanılabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

Objective: Our aim was to determine and compare the demographic and histopathological features of eyelid and periocular tumors.Material and Methods: The medical records of the patients who had eyelid and periocular tumor surgery were retrospectively analyzed at the ophthalmology clinic. The data included age, gender, tumor location and histopathological outcomes and comparative study was performed between the benign, malignant and premalignant tumors. Detailed site of the tumor was described as right and left or bilateral, upper and lower. Medial and lateral canthal tumors and eyebrow tumors were described as periocular tumors. SPSS computer statistical software (version Chicago) was used for statistical analysis. Chi-square test was used for the significant differences.Results: A total of 190 patients with histopathologic confirmation were evaluated; 160 were (84.2%) eyelid lesions and 30 (15.8%) were periocular lesions. One hundred and forty (87.5%) of the eyelid lesions were benign, 17 (10.6%) of eyelid lesions were malignant and 3 (1.8%) of lesions were premalignant. Twenty (66.7%) of the periocular lesions were benign, 9 (30%) malignant and 1 (3.3%) was premalignant. Benign tumors were found to occur at younger ages compared to malignant (p=0.03) and premalignant lesions (p=0.038). One hundred and ten (68.7%) of benign tumors were seen in women and 50 (31.3%) in men. In contrast to benign tumors, malignant and premalignant tumors were more common in males (p=0.003). Malignant tumors were found to be significantly higher in the right eyes. There was a statistically significant difference in malignancy between periocular and eyelid tumors (χ(2)=8.488, p=0.014). Malignant tumors were found to be significantly higher in periocular lesions. Epidermal cyst (17.5%) was the most common benign tumor. Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent malignant type (73.1%).Conclusion: Gender of male, lower lid location and senility are the risk factors that should be concerned in eyelid and periocular tumors.

Authors: YÜCEL Semih Murat , ÇALIŞKAN Fatih
Published: August 2022

Objective: Cardiac trauma has a high mortality rate and requires emergency diagnosis and surgical treatment. This retrospective study was planned to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent urgent surgical treatment for cardiac trauma using valuable injury scoring systems.Material and Methods: All traumatic patients who applied to our emergency service and performed surgical operations due to cardiac trauma between January 1985 and November 2021 by cardiovascular surgeons, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients with iatrogenic cardiac trauma after the percutaneous intervention were also included in the study population. Cardiac injury scales such as physiological index (PI), penetrating cardiac trauma index (PCTI), penetrating thoracic trauma index (PTTI), and American Association for the Surgery of Trauma/Organ Injury Scale (AAST/OIS), were calculated in all patients for clinical severity.Results: In this study, 39 patients were enrolled. 24 patients (61.6%) had penetrating, 13 (33.3%) iatrogenic, 2 (5.1%) blunt cardiac injuries. 15 patients (38.5%) had penetrating stab wounds, and 9 (23.1%) had gunshot wounds. The mean age of the patients was 48.3±19.0 (min: 6-max: 87) years, and 79.6% were male. The most frequently injured cardiac chambers were right ventricle (RV) (46.2%), left ventricle (LV) (25.6%), right atrium (RA) (10.3%), and coronary arteries (10.3%), respectively. While the number of patients with cardiac tamponade was 25 (64.1%), additional abdominal injuries were detected in 6 (15.4%) patients. 80% of the patients with cardiac tamponade survived (p=0.006). The mortality rate was 35% for penetrating injuries in this study.Conclusion: This study, which included patients with cardiac trauma from a single-center, draws attention in terms of showing the negative effect of cardiac tamponade on mortality. Our study outcomes also do not support the old dictum that left ventricular injuries have higher mortality.

Published: August 2022

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of radiological femoral arterial calcification (FAC) and mortality in patients over 65 years of age with intertrochanteric femur fracture (ITFC).Material and Methods: Between 2014 and 2019, 303 patients diagnosed with ITFC who were operated on using a short proximal femoral nail (PFN) were evaluated retrospectively. Research data were obtained from preoperative anesthesia records and patient medical records using the electronic patient record system. Death records were obtained from the national population management system. Patients with FAC detected in roentgenography formed the study group, and patients in whom it could not be detected constituted the control group. Age, gender, ASA score, waiting time until surgery, need for postoperative intensive care, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and the first 30 days, first-year and general mortality rates were evaluated.Results: While FAC was detected in 117 (38.6%) patients, FAC was not detected in 186 (61.4%) patients. The patients in the study group were older (p<0.05), and the male population was more prominent (p<0.001). A statistically significant difference was found between the ASA scores compared between the groups (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding waiting time until surgery, need for postoperative intensive care, and length of stay in the intensive care unit (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was found when the presence of FAC was compared in terms of overall mortality and postoperative first-month mortality (p<0.05). In patients with FAC, the overall mortality risk increased 1.63 times, the risk of mortality in the first one month increased 1.99 times and the risk of mortality in the first one year increased 1.57 times.Conclusion: Our study showed that the presence of FAC could be evaluated as a predictor of mortality in elderly patients with ITFC who underwent osteosynthesis with short PFN.

Siyanür, mitokondriyal bozulmayla organları etkiler. Son zamanlarda, zehirlenmelerde hayati organ fonksiyonunu korumak ve antidot tedavisi için zaman kazanmak için ekstrakorporeal membran oksijenizasyonu (EKMO) kullanılmaktadır. Siyanür zehirlenmesinde, EKMO uygulanan ve beyin ölümü gerçekleşen olguyu sunduk. Yirmi sekiz yaşında hasta, 30 dakika önce ağızdan siyanür alımıyla getirildi. Hipotansif, taşikardik ve komadaydı. Laktik asidozu mevcuttu. Ekokardiyografide kalpte global hipokinezi izlendi. Perfüzyonun devamlılığı için venoarteriyel EKMO planlandı. EKMO uygulamasına hazırlanırken ventriküler fibrilasyon gelişti, defibrilasyon uygulandı ve ritm atriyal fibrilasyona döndü. EKMO uygulamasından önce, siyanür alımının 4. saatinde hidroksikobalamin verildi. Antidottan sonra kan basıncı yükseldi. Kan basıncı düzelse de yüksek laktat düzeyleri ve malign aritmi nedeniyle perfüzyonun tekrar bozulabileceği öngörülerek 4. saatte venoarteriyel EKMO uygulandı. İkinci gün beyin ölümü tanısı kondu. Organ nakli komitesi siyanürle ilgili komplikasyonlardan endişe duyduğu için organ naklini iptal edildi. Hasta üçüncü gün öldü. Siyanürün intrasellüler metabolizmayı bozduğu ve perfüzyondan bağımsız olarak beyin hasarına neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle, EKMO’nun siyanür zehirlenmesinde kalıcı beyin hasarını önleyememiştir.

The median age of the patients was 45 days (min: 15 days, max: 150 days), and the median day of discharge was 6 days (min: 3 days, max: 9 days). Wound infection occurred in eight (15.3%) patients, and postoperative recurrent vomiting occured in eight (15.3%) patients. While two patients with vomiting were operated for the second time, it was observed that the complaints of vomiting in six patients improved on the third postoperative day. Postoperatively, 4 (7.69%) of our patients were followed up in the neonatal intensive care unit. There was no death in the cases we operated on.Conclusion: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis with non-bilious vomiting is a common condition in infants in Somalia and must be excluded in patients with recurrent non-bilious vomiting. Although the patients were admitted lately, no case of mortality has been observed in this study cohort where surgery conditions and postoperative care standards were below average.

Poxviridae ailesine ait zoonotik bir hastalık olan maymun çiçeği 1958 yılında maymunlardan izole edilmiştir. İnsanlarda çiçek hastalığına benzer bir klinik oluşturur. Enfekte hayvan ısırığı, vücut sıvıları ile temas ve damlacık yoluyla bulaş tipiktir. 2003 ve sonrasında özellikle ithalat ve turizm nedenli seyahat ile birçok ülkede salgınlara neden olmuştur. 2022 yılında görülen salgında ise bulaşın cinsel aktivite ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çiçek aşısı ile bağışıklanmamış bireyler hastalık açısından risk grubunu oluşturmaktadır. İnkübasyon süresinin ortalama 6-13 gün olduğu kabul edilir. Ateş, lenfadenopati ve miyalji varlığı diğer döküntülü hastalıklardan ayırt edicidir. Ayırıcı tanıda numunelerin referans laboratuvara gönderilerek doğrulamasının yapılması şarttır. Şüphelenilen vakalar hakkında yerel halk sağlığı yetkililerine bilgi verilmesi gerekir. Destek tedavisi esastır. Özel hasta grupları için tekovirimat, brinsidofovir veya sidofovir gibi antiviral tedaviler halk sağlığı yetkilileri onayı ile başlanabilir. Ayırıcı tanı olarak düşünüldüğü her durumda tanı dışlanana kadar temas, damlacık ve solunum izolasyon önlemleri de uygulanmalıdır. Temas öncesi veya temas sonrası profilaksi için yine yerel halk sağlığı yetkilileri onayı ile çiçek aşısı uygulanabilir.

Published: August 2022

Objective: Small-bowel obstruction is a common emergency worldwide. Oleaster-leafed pear (Pyrus elaeagnifolia Pall.) is an endemic wild pear species in Anatolia. The wild pear fruits are consumed for the treatment of diarrhea in traditional medicine. Here, we describe adhesive small-bowel obstruction following consumption of wild pear.Material and Methods: The medical records of patients who were followed with a diagnosis of adhesion-related small-bowel obstruction between May 2018 and September 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups as wild pear-related small-bowel obstruction (Group 1) and patients with not wild pear-related small-bowel obstruction (Group 2). Patient characteristics, blood parameters and clinical features were compared between groups.Results: A total of 74 patients including 16 in Group 1 and 58 in Group 2 were included. The median age in Group 1 and Group 2 was 55 and 60.5, respectively. Increased levels of leukocyte, C-reactive protein, blood urea nitrogen were significantly more frequent in Group 2 (all p<0.05). Group 1 was associated with a shorter duration of complaints and faster recovery (all p<0.05). Surgical intervention was required in only Group 2.Conclusion: The potential adverse effects of over-consumed traditional medicines should be kept in mind. Questioning the last food consumed before the complaints started may be a clue for food-induced small-bowel obstruction.

TOD adalah solusi untuk mengatasi masalah kemacetan di Jakarta, terutama kawasan Blok A. Pengembangan kawasan ini berorientasi transit. Sementara, walkablity sebagai fondasi berdirinya TOD.  Walkability merupakan ukuran seberapa baik membentuk lingkungan yang menyemarakkan berjalan kaki (Riley et al., 2013, Grasser et al., 2013). Maka, peneliti bermaksud untuk mengidentifikasi desain walkability eksisting.Tahapan pengukuran penelitian ini, yaitu: pertama, pola pergerakan pejalan kaki dilakukan dengan plotting pergerakan pejalan kak. Kedua, pengukuran indeks walkability menggunakan alat Clean Air Initiative for Asia Cities. Ketiga, pengukuran preferensi pejalan kaki menggunakan survei wawancara Global WaIkability Index. Keempat, redesain walkability disesuaikan dari penelitian Marchiano (2019) yang menyediakan integrasi moda. Redesain walkability sesuai kriteria Pedoman Perencanaan Teknis Fasilitas  Pejalan Kaki Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat dengan mempertimbangkan Rencana Detail Tata Ruang Jakarta Selatan. Keempat, Pola Pejalan Kaki yang ada, preferensi pejalan kaki, dan indeks walkability adalah tiga faktor untuk menyusun pola pergerakan setelah redesain walkability. Output yang diperoleh ialah indeks walkability setelah redesain.Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan indeks walkability eksisting sebesar 55.657 yang diklasifikasikan sebagai "sedikit walkable". Hasil preferensi pejalan kaki konsisten dengan hasil indeks walkability, walkability relatif buruk. Redesain walkability terbatas pada jalur pejalan kaki. Setelah redesain, indeks walkability meningkat menjadi 73.535 yang digolongkan "sangat walkable"

Moda kereta api merupakan primadona bagi sebagian masyarakat Indonesia hal ini disebabkan oleh harga yang terjangkau untuk semua kalangan, memiliki kapasitas angkut penumpang yang cukup besar serta sebagai transportasi yang bebas macet dari masa ke masa. Untuk itu diperlukan integrasi antarmoda yang dimulai dari integrasi fisik, pelayanan dan operasional dan pembayaran. Penelitian bertujuan menyusun desain keterpaduan koridor penghubung dan fasilitas pendukung di Stasiun Tanjung Karang dengan halte Trans Lampung dan angkutan lanjutan Damri dalam rangka peningkatan keterpaduan pelayanan transportasi. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis kesenjangan (gap), analisis Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). Hasil dari kajian ini, dimensi kesetaraan mempunyai nilai gap yang paling tinggi sehingga harus mendapatkan prioritas perbaikan layanan. Untuk nilai CSI terhadap pelayanan Stasiun Tanjung Karang sebesar 61,45%,hal ini menunjukkan nilai interpretasi CSI masih sangat buruk. Kondisi fasilitas alih moda masih kurang baik, dan untuk pengembangan desain dibuat berdasarkan hasil analisa yang menunjukkan bahwa akses jalan dari stasiun menuju angkutan lanjutan merupakan hal yang penting bagi pengguna stasiun, sebaiknya selasar penghubung berkanopi, agar para pengguna (penumpang) lebih nyaman terlindung dari panas maupun hujan dan meningkatkan aksesibilitas menuju ke angkutan lanjutan.

Pandemi COVID-19 membuat masyarakat mengurangi aktivitas ekonomi, seperti berbelanja kebutuhan tersier atau berlibur. Penerapan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) di DKI Jakarta yang sudah berjalan dan disambut positif oleh masyarakat, dimana bidang logistik merupakan salah satu sektor yang dikecualikan dalam aturan PSBB sehingga dapat dengan leluasa melakukan distribusi dengan tetap mengikuti protokol COVID-19. Walaupun sektor logistik mendapat pengecualian pada masa PSBB ini, dari sisi arus pengiriman barang dalam negeri maupun skala ekspor sayangnya mengalami tren penurunan. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini mencoba melihat bagaimana dampak COVID-19 dan pengaruhnya terhadap angkutan logistik. Penelitian ini juga ingin melihat apakah angkutan logistik yang dikecualikan dalam PSBB memiliki pengaruh pada meluasnya penyebaran COVID-19. Data-data dari Badan Pusat Statistika dan wawancara beberapa pelaku logistik dipergunakan untuk melihat pengaruhnya terhadap keberlangsungan bisnis selama pandemik. Sedangkan, metode regresi linear dipergunakan untuk fokus pada tujuan kedua dari penelitian ini. Berdasarkan analisa yang dilakukan maka diketahui bahwa sektor lapangan usaha transportasi dan pergudangan menunjukkan tanda-tanda pemulihan di kuartal III 2020. Sedangkan berdasarkan regresi linier menunjukan bahwa pergerakan logistik tidak berpengaruh terhadap lonjakan kasus COVID-19.

Simpul transportasi perkotaan Yogyakarta (Bandara Adisucipto, Terminal Giwangan, Terminal Jombor) belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh pengguna angkutan umum. Infrastruktur yang telah terbangun perlu dilakukan evaluasi bagaimana kondisi integrasi antar moda dalam simpul tersebut mampu memberikan layanan yang menerus (seamless) bagi masyarakat dalam memanfaatkan angkutan umum. Metode evaluasi dilakukan dengan melakukan survei lapangan dan penilaian pada 6 (enam) aspek yang terdiri dari: kedekatan, konektivitas, kenyamanan, keamanan dan daya tarik. Hasil penilaian menunjukkan secara umum Simpul Transportasi di Perkotaan Yogyakarta telah terintegrasi secara fisik dengan baik, namun perlu beberapa peningkatan aspek signage di terminal Giwangan dan Jombor dan aspek keselamatan bagi pengguna untuk berpindah moda pada saat menyeberang, dan aspek keamanan dengan keberadaan CCTV di Adisutjipto dan Jombor. Rencana pengembangan kawasan (pembangunan berorientasi transit, mix use area, park and ride), harus melibatkan kearifan lokal sehingga dapat memberikan manfaat bagi masyarakat sekitar, meningkatkan pergerakan dan aktifitas simpul, sehingga mampu meningkatkan kegiatan perekonomian daerah.
