This article presents an analysis of the mathematical description of the process of film condensation of vapors from vapor-gas mixtures. Taking into account the considerable variety of effects that occur during the flow of films in processes in which phase transformations occur, the complexity of the mathematical description of the flow of condensate films becomes obvious. This complexity of describing the process is aggravated by the combination of heat and mass transfer, non- isothermic, and changes in such properties as surface tension, viscosity, and density. To describe the flow rate and film thickness during film condensation, a fundamental system of equations is used, and the equations of dynamics and continuity in the long-wave approximation are also taken into account. The estimation of the propagation length of nonlinear waves in condensate films with varying flow rates showed that with an increase in the condensation intensity, the role of the proposed corrections increases, but within the limits of the validity of the thin-film approximation does not become decisive and significant. During the description of the process of film condensation of vapors from steam-gas mixtures, it was found that when the basic conditions are met, the influence of undulation manifests itself mainly through an increase in the heat exchange surface, and the contribution of surface forces to the intensification of the process, i.e., an increase in condensate consumption, is no more than 10-12%

Published: September 2022

Mesoporous carbon (MC) has been successfully synthesized via the soft template method and further impregnated with monometallic Ni and bimetallic Ni-Co to give Ni-modified MC (Ni/MC) and NiCo/MC, respectively. The modified MC materials were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDX, SAA, and TEM. The results of the TEM analysis showed that the metal was homogeneously distributed on MC with the average particle sizes of Ni and bimetallic NiCo being 23.1 and 10.4 nm, respectively. The results of BET analysis show that the materials have a high surface area of 304, 289, and 313 m2 /g for MC, Ni/MC, and NiCo/MC, respectively. Both Ni/MC and bimetallic NiCo/MC were then used as catalysts in phenylacetylene hydrogenation under atmospheric hydrogen pressure.

Published: September 2022

Experimental and theoretical studies on the phenolic degradation of graphene (CTAB)/TiO2/Fe3O4 have been conducted. The addition of surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant (CTAB) on graphene can improve the performance and dispersion of TiO2 on the graphene surface and prevent electron recombination. Magnetic materials such as Fe3O4 will help the composite separation process, but will also have an effect on its photodegradation performance. The effect of Fe3O4 composition on composites was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope, X-Ray Diffraction, FT-IR Spectra, Brunaeuer Emmett Teller-BJH, UV-Vis DRS, and UV-vis Spectrophotometer analysis. Furthermore, the photodegradation of phenol was carried out under visible light irradiation to investigate the photocatalytic activity. TiO2 nanoparticles doped with graphene (CTAB) have a large enough synergistic effect, besides that graphene nanocatalyst (CTAB)/TiO2/Fe3O4 is more efficient because it is easy to separate

Published: September 2022

Malaria is a deadly disease that still occurs in some tropical countries. Medicines derived from plant parts have long been used as herbal medicines to treat malaria as part of Indonesian traditional medicine practice. Miana has been used as one of the antimalarial herbs by the South Sulawesi community. This study describes the in-silico study by tethering the secondary metabolite compound molecule of miana leaf (Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R.Br.) To the Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PDB ID code: 1CET) as the first-line test to determine the antimalarial activity of Miana leaves. The results showed that the free energy binding value of 4 secondary metabolites of miana leaves, namely Scutellarioidone A (-6.32 kcal/mol), Scutellarioidone D (-6.06 kcal/mol), Coleon O (-6.07 kcal/mol), Fredericone B (-6.13 kcal/mol), was better than its natural ligands, Chloroquine (-5.89 kcal/mol). From the visualization of the docking results, all compounds have hydrogen bonds with different amino acid residues. Based on the results of predictions of pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and Lipinski's rule of five, all secondary metabolites from Miana leaves meet the criteria as a promising drug. However, some compounds can pose a safety risk. From the overall computational analysis, it can be predicted that the Scutellarioidone D can be used as a candidate for antimalarial drugs.

Authors: S. Megantara  , I. Musfiroh  , D. Lestari
Published: September 2022

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a type of cytokine that is most often produced when there is inflammation of the respiratory system. Andrographolide, a diterpenoid lactone has been shown to inhibit the amount of IL-6 by binding to IL-6 receptors on human cells. This research was conducted to determine the other potential of diterpenoid lactones from Andrographis paniculate in inhibiting IL-6 with a computational chemistry approach method. The hexameric human IL-6 complex (1P9M) crystal structure was downloaded from the Protein Data Bank. The test compounds were built using MarvinSketch of ChemAxon and were subjected to energy minimization using the MMFF94 force field partial charges in the LigandScout software. Molecular Docking and Pharmacophore Modeling was carried out on an autodock algorithm that was embedded in Ligand Scout. The result showed that andrographolide has the best interaction with the IL-6 receptor with a binding affinity (Ei = -8.05 kcal/mol) and inhibition constant (Ki = 1.26 μM). Pharmacophore modeling of andrographolide in the IL-6 active site was validated against the training set of active ligands and decoys. The Pharmacophore features show the hydroxyl group on the C-14 atom acts as a hydrogen bond donor with Asn136 and hydrogen bond acceptor with Lys66. The hydroxyl group on the C-19 atom acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor with Leu57 and Ala58. Hydrophobic functional groups interact with Ala56, Leu62, Leu64, and Leu165. From the results of the study, it was concluded that andrographolide interacts well with the active site of IL-6, and has the potential to act as an IL-6 inhibitor that can prevent the release of cytokines that may be useful in the treatment of COVID-19.

Thecurrent research investigates the quality of ten different surface water sites in and around Jodhpur using water quality ratings. This paper gives insight into water pollution's qualitative and quantitative extent. The water quality index (WQI)is usedfor assessing and comparing water quality. In each study region, a five-point grading scale was adopted to classify water quality as a single understandable value. Twelveparameters were employed for determining the WQI of different sites: turbidity, TSS, TDS, conductivity, alkalinity, hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, fluoride, and nitrate. Multivariate analysis of the samplesrevealed that most of the individual parameters are not in harmony with the standard values prescribed by the regulating authorities. According to the study, seasonal fluctuations play a significant effect in the hydrochemistry of surface water, indicating a change in WQI. Thesamples showed less pollution in the pre-monsoonseason as compared to post-monsoon. Overall, this paper lays forth a strategy for proper utilization and protection, as well as assesses the quality of surface water to determine its suitability for various uses and its impact on groundwater quality.

Ecological and economic models in the mineral and resource sector of Russia: Formation of investment policy based on public-private partnership
Authors: Глазырина Ирина
Published: September 2022

The article proposes a mathematical model for the elaboration of a program for the development of the mineral resource industries. It explicitly formalizes the mechanism of public-private partnership and takes into account the negative impact of mining technologies on the environment. The model is based on the Stackelberg game and the tools of bi-level mathematical programming. This makes it possible to take into account the peculiarities of the hierarchy of interaction between the government bodies and the private investor in the mineral resource sector and to build a practical methodology for the formation of a "green" program for the natural resources’ use. The model database is built on the basis of special predictive models that describe in detail the processes of implementing various types of projects. The proposed approach has been tested on real data describing a fragment of the mineral resource base of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The goal of the numerical experiment is to assess the correlation of the investment policy effectiveness formed in the model on the quality of the investment climate, the scale of costs for environmental protection measures and the cost assessment of the environmental damage generated by the applied mining technologies. The simulation results allow us to formulate a number of conclusions for the development of strategic plans for the construction of industrial infrastructure, attracting a private investor who is ready to work in line with the ideas of “green” economy.
Socio-economic determinants of altruistic behavior
Authors: Mikitchuk Marina
Published: September 2022

The problem of identifying the factors of individual altruism in the socio-cultural context and at the intercountry level is posed and solved for the first time. Econometric analysis of panel data on 34 countries for 2010–2019 confirmed the results, obtained in local screenings for particular regions and population groups. Namely, such factors as social welfare, happiness and civic engagement showed statistical significance in the regression analysis of the sample under study. Furthermore, there are reasons to assume that some relations may be parabolic in nature and, thus, indicate the nonlinear development of the altruism phenomenon. In addition, the previously overlooked socio-economic determinants stipulated by the philosophy of collaboration were tested on empirical level. Through the inclusion of new variables, it was possible to identify the special role of the culture of tolerance in the generation of altruistic behavior. Also, econometric calculations revealed that the nature of some factors’ impact depends on the level of economic development of a certain country. According to the results, primary positive determinants of altruism for developed countries are happiness and political activity, while for developing countries — social well-being. Hierarchical cluster analysis made it possible to identify and further study a subgroup of developed countries with a higher culture of tolerance. The findings showed the importance of determining the phenomenon of happiness, complexity of which presets the principle differentiation of altruism factors for different groups of countries. The results of this work can be used for further study of collaborative mechanisms, in particular, the study of motivation and effectiveness of international development assistance.
Market static model for software development based on a transport problem with quadratic cost additions
Authors: Lesik Ilya
Published: September 2022

The authors propose to formulate a market continuous static model for software development based on the transport problem with quadratic cost additions. In contrast to the existing transport problem with fixed cost surcharges, the authors propose a statement that minimizes the sum of transportation costs, which may contain non-fixed additions proportional to the squares of the volumes of appointments. Thus, a quadratic formulation of the transport problem with non-fixed additions is proposed. It is shown that transport problem with quadratic additions can be reduced to a convex programming problem, which can be solved numerically by the subgradient method, or by the conjugate gradient method for the dual problem. The authors describe the interpretation of transport problem with quadratic additions as an assignment problem with non-fixed price discounts, taking into account the difference between the wholesale and retail prices. This makes possible to apply the set task to build digital platforms in the software development market for loading assignments to performers.
Calculation of the convexity adjustment to the forward rate in the Vasicek model for the forward exotic contracts
Authors: Kulikov Aleksandr
Published: September 2022

В данной статье мы рассмотрели оценку форвардных контрактов, которые являются популярными финансовыми инструментами для покупки или продажи каких-либо активов в заданный момент времени в будущем по указанной фиксированной цене. Условия таких контрактов могут устанавливаться в зависимости от потребностей покупателей или продавцов, а торговля ими происходит на внебиржевом рынке. Это отличает их от фьючерсов, которые торгуются на бирже на стандартизированных условиях. Фокусом нашего исследования являются форвардные контракты на процентную ставку с выплатой в момент фиксации плавающей ставки (in-arrearsforwardrateagreement, или in-arrearsFRA). Они отличаются от обычных форвардных контрактов на ставку тем, что плавающая процентная ставка выплачивается в момент фиксации. Мы рассчитали выпуклую поправку к плавающей процентной ставке, возникающую в таких контрактах, при различных конфигурациях времени выплат в однофакторной стохастической модели Васичека. С помощью принципа безарбитражности мы показали, что поправка будет неотрицательной в случае, когда выплаты происходят до конца периода начисления, и отрицательной в случае, когда выплаты происходят после. Мы также изучили in-arrears форвардные и опционные контракты, в которых ставка и номинал, на который начисляется эта ставка, относятся к разным валютам quanto in-arrears FRA и quanto in-arrears опционы). Мы убедились, что quanto in-arrears FRA равен обычному in-arrears FRA в случае, когда валюты совпадают, и что quanto in-arrears опционы дороже обычных.

The Effects of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) Feedback on Students’ English Writing Quality: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Fan Ning , Ma Yingying
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this review is to examine the effects of automated writing evaluation (AWE) feedback on students’ English writing performance. We systematically reviewed studies that have empirically focused on this purpose. This review uses several combinations of key words to search in the databases of JSTOR, SSCI, and ERIC for peer-reviewed articles published from 2005 to April 2020. The systematic review produced 22 eligible studies categorized as within-group and between group studies based on Stevenson and Phakiti’s (2014) categorization. The results indicated that AWE feedback might be helpful for student writing under certain conditions. Specifically, the feedback was helpful when it was provided for one single group of students. The feedback was also helpful when the writing performance of a group of students receiving the feedback was compared to the writing performance of the other group of students receiving no such feedback. Moreover, AWE feedback should be continuously offered to help students benefit most from it. This review is an update about the effects of AWE feedback on student writing and may serve as a guide for researchers and instructional practitioners through informing them of the latest research on AWE feedback.
Abstracting Minds: Computational Theory of Mind for Human-Agent Collaboration
Authors: Erdogan Emre , Dignum Frank , Verbrugge Rineke , Yolum Pınar
Published: September 2022

Theory of mind refers to the human ability to reason about mental content of other people such as beliefs, desires, and goals. In everyday life, people rely on their theory of mind to understand, explain, and predict the behaviour of others. Having a theory of mind is especially useful when people collaborate, since individuals can then reason on what the other individual knows as well as what reasoning they might do. Realization of hybrid intelligence, where an agent collaborates with a human, will require the agent to be able to do similar reasoning through computational theory of mind. Accordingly, this paper provides a mechanism for computational theory of mind based on abstractions of single beliefs into higher-level concepts. These concepts can correspond to social norms, roles, as well as values. Their use in decision making serves as a heuristic to choose among interactions, thus facilitating collaboration on decisions. Using examples from the medical domain, we demonstrate how having such a theory of mind enables an agent to interact with humans efficiently and can increase the quality of the decisions humans make.
An Empirical Investigation of Reliance on AI-Assistance in a Noisy-Image Classification Task
Authors: Tejeda Lemus Heliodoro , Kumar Aakriti , Steyvers Mark
Published: September 2022

Humans use AI-assistance in a wide variety of high- and low-stakes decision-making tasks today. However, human reliance on the AI’s assistance is often sub-optimal — with people exhibiting under- or over-reliance on the AI. We present an empirical investigation of human-AI assisted decision-making in a noisy image classification task. We analyze the participants’ reliance on AI assistance and the accuracy of human-AI assistance as compared to the human or AI working independently. We demonstrate that participants do not show automation bias which is a widely reported behavior displayed by humans when assisted by AI. In this specific instance of AI-assisted decision-making, people are able to correctly override the AI’s decision when needed and achieve close to the theoretical upper bound on combined performance. We suggest that the reason for this discrepancy from previous research findings is because 1) people are experts at classifying everyday images and have a good understanding of their ability in performing the task, 2) people engage in the metacognitive act of deliberation when asked to indicate confidence in their decision, and 3) people were able to build a good mental model of the AI by incorporating feedback that was provided after each trial. These findings should inform future experiment design.

Published: September 2022

How can we observe how people respond to consequential errors by an artificial agent in a realistic yet highly controllable environment? We created a threat-detection house-search task in virtual reality in which participants form a Human-Agent Team (HAT) with an autonomous drone. By simulating risk, we amplify the feeling of reliance and the importance of trust in the agent. This paradigm allows for ecologically valid research that provides more insight into crucial human-agent team dynamics such as trust and situational awareness.
SpellInk: Interactive Correction of Spelling Mistakes in Handwritten Text
Authors: Kuznetsov Konstantin , Barz Michael , Sonntag Daniel
Published: September 2022

Despite the current dominance of typed text, writing by hand remains the most natural mean of written communication and information keeping. Still, digital pen input provides limited user experience and lacks flexibility, as most of the manipulations are performed on a digitalized version of the text. In this paper, we present our prototype that enables spellchecking for handwritten text: it allows users to interactively correct misspellings directly in a handwritten script. We plan to study the usability of the proposed user interface and its acceptance by users. Also, we aim to investigate how user feedback can be used to incrementally improve the underlying recognition models.
Global universities’ COVID-19 scientific knowledge production: Collaborative sense-making during a crisis
Authors: Ghosh Sowmya , DeMartino Linsay
Published: September 2022

As the world grapples with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the role universities play in advancing COVID knowledge and long term management of this global crisis is largely unknown.  In this study, we document from a comparative perspective the ways in which members from universities in the US, New Zealand, Italy, South Korea and China engage in activities to respond to the pandemic. We apply the sense-making knowledge management model (Choo, 1998) and boundary spanning theory (Tushman, & Scanlan, 1981; Birkinshaw, Ambos & Bouquet, 2017) to identify strategies that university members employ by engaging with members from their university, local government and regional universities to generate scientific knowledge that enhances our global understanding of the evolving pandemic. In analyzing COVID related content via university websites, our findings reveal that response to the pandemic varies by university stratification, specifically by size and research capacity. We identified three distinct lenses by which university members position their leadership and research on COVID. We find universities from China, regardless of status-based characteristics, currently utilize a post-pandemic approach. Whereas universities in the US, Italy, New Zealand and South Korea approach their COVID research activities using an evolving-pandemic anticipatory lens and focus on scientific knowledge creating on current and future-pandemics by engaging in a range of collaborative activities with members of regional universities. Further, we find the role of boundary-spanners (Author & Author, 2018) particularly prominent in enhancing efforts to develop inter-university generated knowledge on COVID-19. Findings also provide policy implications for university-led response to global health challenges.
When Experts Become Novices: A Mixed-Methods Exploration of International Scholars’ Experiences at a US University
Authors: Krsmanovic Masha
Published: September 2022

The experiences of international scholars in the United States who are part of short-term or exchange programs remain vastly under-investigated compared to their full-time, tenure-track, and tenured peers. Gauded by Blau’s (1964) social exchange theory, this study investigated professional and social experiences of exchange scholars at a large public research university in the southeast. Mixed-method exploration was conducted through surveys and individual interviews with international scholars who participated in the exchange program in spring 2020. The results revealed that exchange scholars were most satisfied with work conditions and research experience, but least satisfied with professional development opportunities and cultural exchange. Further, participants’ research experience was significantly correlated with their cultural exchange, while their professional development was significantly correlated with work conditions and support. Additional implications and recommendations were drawn from the results revealing the unmet needs of program participants regarding the different areas of their exchange experiences.

Authors: Lee Tony , Cheng Ruby
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of China recruiters during the pandemic, particularly with their job stress and sense of job security. The study also explored the new norms of Chinese students’ recruitment post-pandemic crisis. Using qualitative analysis, we found that China recruiters experienced different stressors during the pandemic regardless of their working location. The participants recognized the importance of communication and seeking institutional support to help overcome their stress during the pandemic. They suggested that higher education administrators should be sensitive to the needs of their international recruiters. The participants also suggested several new norms for future recruitment, such as using the hybrid recruitment model, promoting university collaboration, initiating joint programs between US and Chinese institutions, and hiring domestic recruiters. Implications for practice are discussed.
Introduction
Authors: Raby Rosalind Latiner
Published: September 2022

In the Introduction to the JCIHE Winter Special Issue 2020, when the world was at the height of crisis, I wrote that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were unforgiving, that the human toll was staggering, and that the long-term effects will be felt for years to come. Two years later, JCIHE is honored to host this Summer Special Issue 14(3A) that examines what has happened, two years later. International and Comparative Impact of COVID-19 on Institutions of Education, edited by Sowmya Ghosh and Linsay A. DeMartino have compiled a range of articles with authors from around the world to show the timeliness of this topic. The widespread interest of authors to publish in this issue resulted in the creation of two parts that are published separately. The articles in both of these issues reflect the immediate and longer-term effects of COVID-19 on higher education using a comparative and global perspective.

Authors: Komarov I. A. , Krasilnikova E. Yu. , Aleksandrova O. Yu.
Published: September 2022

This article analyzes the ratio of expenditures on drug provision for patients with rare life-threatening diseases to the total amount of expenses of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on preferential drug provision. The share of expenditures on rare life-threatening diseases in the structure of regional expenditures on drug provision in 2019 and 2020 is presented. The dynamics of the budget for rare life-threatening diseases in monetary terms and the dynamics of regional spending on drug provision were also analyzed in comparison with 2019 and 2020. Finally, results were obtained regarding the share of expenditures on rare life-threatening diseases in the structure of regional expenditures on drug provision in the planned year 2021. Consistent federalization of drug provision for patients with certain rare life-threatening diseases, first of all, has transferred the drug provision of pediatric patients with such nosologies to the federal level. In order to further harmonize the system and equalize the availability of drug provision for adults and children with rare life-threatening diseases, it is necessary to think about the federalization of the most “costly” diseases for regions with a predominantly adult cohort of patients.

Também versa sobre a existência de um eixo central no macro universo, que impulsiona a partir de si, vibrações em tipos e categorias que a nós parecem acontecer em tempo zero, ou temporalmente retroativo, superiores as ondas retrógradas (HFR), talvez devido a utilizar dobras de outras dimensões. Essas “informações” recebidas instantaneamente por todas as galáxias, penetram nos corpos até o núcleo do maior sol ou buraco cósmico, liberando informações que são então ruminadas e regurgitadas dos núcleos dos corpos voltando a superfície destes astros como um eco repetitivo e modificado, com tempos diferentes de subida, conforme as Super Fluidas Ondas-Híbridas. A composição desse eco interfere nas forças ou energias que esses astros têm, pois, força e temporalidade sempre estão afetando tudo que existe, dentro, sobre ou ao redor desses corpos celestes, mudando o que a inteligência chama de vida. Nesse contexto, objetiva-se relatar a correlação entre o entrelaçamento quântico e a física clássica nas questões de transferência de informação e energia entre eixo central universo, galáxias, sol e terra, bem como demonstrar a influência dessa transferência nas formas de vida e formação do clima e do planeta. A metodologia empregada é compilação de estudos geológicos, geomagnéticos da terra, ondas retrógradas (HFR), dados astronômicos e astrofísicos, física e observações, a fim de levantar a questão de energias cósmicas que mexem em tudo, de modo a tomarmos consciência e nos prepararmos antecipada para os desdobramentos vindouros, já atuantes, que resultam no prolongamento e adaptação das anomalias. Por fim, este ensaio teórico vincula os movimentos de tudo que existe com o tempo, gravidade e vida, também estabelece, baseado em estudos temporais galácticos, que o universo procura criar vidas adaptativas às suas alterações, modificando o que na terra, convenientemente, chamamos de clima.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento popular e automedicação com plantas medicinais em gestantes do município de Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória com abordagem quali-quantitativa. As informações foram coletadas por meio de um questionário semiestruturado e um grupo focal de gestantes. Em relação ao conhecimento e uso de plantas de medicinais, afirma-se que as gestantes utilizam plantas medicinais. Na análise dos riscos, todas plantas relatadas apresentavam toxicidade fetal, com exceção da cebola branca. Nota-se que as gestantes utilizam plantas medicinais por influência da cultura familiar. As gestantes acreditam que as plantas medicinais ingeridas na gestação não causam efeitos nocivos por serem de origem natural, o que contribui para a automedicação. Destaca-se a importância do diálogo entre o saber popular e o conhecimento científico na construção de uma educação terapêutica que previna problemas relacionados ao uso de produtos terapêuticos na gestação.

Highly volatile requirements of mobile applications require adaptive software development methods. Several attempts to address challenges in mobile software engineering have found agile methodology to be appropriate for mobile application development. This project report provides a detailed analysis on various challenges involved in mobile software development which are addressed using Agile-SCRUM methodologies. An efficient mobile software development concept derived from Agile-Scrum methodology is designed in this project. A light-weight Android application for secure and incremental backup has been developed using the proposed methodology. An in-depth illustration of the practical experience in developing the application has been discussed. Unlike other prominent languages like  Java, the use of Python for Android platform has emerged recently. Hence developing the secure-backup application in Python was a challenge, which has been dealt in this report. We believe our proposed methodology has a potential to help developers deliver improved quality of mobile applications in short time.

AbstrakProvinsi Jawa Timur merupakan provinsi yang mempunyai jumlah kasus kematian yang tinggi dibanding dengan provinsi lain di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian adalah melakukan pemodelan kematian akibat Covid-19 di Provinsi Jawa Timur pada tahun 2020, menggunakan analisis Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Analisis GWR merupakan pengembangan dari regresi linier dengan parameter model yang berbeda di setiap pengamatan (wilayah).Â  Data yang dianalisis adalah data sekunder dari Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Jawa Timur dan Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Provinsi Jawa Timur. Jumlah kematian akibat covid-19 di Jawa Timur mencapai 84.152 jiwa sampai dengan bulan Desember 2020. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang mempengaruhi kematian akibat Covid-19 di sebagian besar wilayah Provinsi Jawa Timur adalah jumlah dokter umum di Rumah Sakit dan jumlah pelayanan kesehatan penyakit Diabetes Melitus, sedangkan variable lainnya yang berpengaruh signifikan adalah pelayanan kesehatan penderita Hipertensi danÂ  jumlah Rumah Sakit Umum. Analisis GWR menghasilkanÂ  pemodelan jumlahÂ  kematian akibat Covid-19 di Jawa TimurÂ  dengan koefisien determinasi yang lebih tinggi dibanding pemodelan secara global. Pemodelan secara geografis menghasilkan 5 kelompok kabupaten/kota, dengan variabel jumlah dokter umum di Rumah Sakit dan pelayanan kesehatan Diabetes Melitus yang cukup berpengaruh di sebagian besar kabupaten/kota di Jawa Timur.Kata kunci: Covid-19, Jawa Timur, Geographically Weighted RegressionAbstractEast Java Province was a province that had a high number of deaths compared to other provinces in Indonesia. Using Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) analysis, the study's goal was to predict the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 in the East Java Province in 2020. With various model parameters in each observation, GWR analysis was a progression of linear regression (region). Secondary data from the East Java Province's Statistics Agency and Health Agency were used in the analysis. As of December 2020, 84.152 individuals had perished in East Java as a result of COVID-19. The analysis's findings indicate that the number of public hospitals and the availability of healthcare for people with diabetes mellitus were the two health factors that had the greatest impact on Covid-19 deaths in the majority of East Java Province. Other factors that had a significant impact included the number of public hospitals and the availability of healthcare for people with hypertension.The analysis of the GWR model on the number of deaths due to Covid-19 in East Java resulted in a higher coefficient of determination than linear regression modeling. Geographical modeling resulted in 5 groups of districts/cities, with the variable number of general doctors in hospitals and diabetes mellitus health services being quite influential in most districts/cities in East Java.Keyword: Covid-19, East Java Provinces, Geographically Weighted Regression

AbstrakAsfiksia masih menjadi salah satu penyebab kematian neonatal tertinggi di Indonesia. Diantara berbagai faktor penyebab, pre-eklampsia pada ibu hamil maupun bersalin diduga menjadi salah satu penyebab asfiksia neonatorum. Kajian faktor risiko dan karakteristik ibu pre-eklampsia terus diteliti untuk mengetahui akibatnya terhadap luaran perinatal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis korelasi antara faktor Indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dan kadar Hb pada ibu bersalin dengan pre-eklampsia terhadap asfiksia neonatorum. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik retrospektif. Populasi yaitu ibu bersalin dengan pre-eklampsia dan bayinya di RS Bunda Surabaya. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan total sampel dan didapatkan sebanyak 30 responden pada bulan April-Mei 2022. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa IMT dan kadar Hb memiliki nilai p-value masing-masing p=0,326 dan p=0,006. Artinya faktor kadar Hb pada ibu bersalin dengan pre-eklampsia menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan terhadap kejadian asfiksia neonatorum, sedangkan faktor IMT tidak menunjukkan adanya korelasi.Kata kunci:Â Â Â Â Â  IMT, Hb, pre-eklamsia, asfiksiaAbstractAsphyxia is still one of the highest neonatal causes of death in Indonesia. Among the various causative factors, pre-eclampsia in pregnant and maternity women is suspected to be one of the causes of neonatal asphyxia. The study of risk factors and characteristics of pre-eclampsia mothers continues to be studied to determine their consequences on perinatal outcome. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between body mass index (BMI) factors and Hb levels in maternity mothers with pre-eclampsia to neonatal asphyxia. This research used analytical design with a retrospective approach. The population was maternity mothers with pre-eclampsia and their babies at Bunda Hospital Surabaya. Sampling was carried out with a total sample and obtained as many as 30 respondents in April-May 2022. The data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results of this study showed that BMI and Hb levels had p-values of p= 0.326 and p = 0.006, respectively. This means that the Hb level factor in maternity mothers with pre-eclampsia shows a significant correlation to the incidence of neonatal asphyxia, while the BMI factor does not show any correlation.Keywords:Â Â Â Â Â Â  BMI, Hb, pre-eclampsia, asphyxia
