Stability of financial development: Problems of measurement, assessment and regulation
Authors: Gospodarchuk Galina G. , Zeleneva Elena S.
Published: November 2022

Adequate measurement, assessment, and regulation of financial development stability are key components, the formation of effective macroprudential policies, and the coordination of these policies among countries. However, an analysis materials on the subject shows that work in this area is fragmented,. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for diagnosing and regulating the stability of financial development based on a systematic approach. The study used systematic, comparative, and GEO analysis, econometric methods. As a result, new indicators have been developed to diagnose the financial development of countries. The authors also propose criteria, which could be used to signal the need for countercyclical regulation tools. The novelty of the study lies in a systematic approach to the diagnosis and regulation of the stability of financial development. The systemic nature of the study is ensured by the application of the statistical framework of the System of National Accounts. Testing of the developed indicators and criteria was carried out in relation to the OECD+ (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries for the period 2007–2020. As a result of the testing, a rating of countries was built according to the level of stability of financial development. This rating highlighted leading countries as well as countries generating systemic risks. The study also assessed the legal grounds behind the introduction of a countercyclical markup by a number of countries. The new diagnostic and regulatory system has a number of advantage—it is highly representative and objective by nature, and has a wide range of applications. The use of this system will improve the complexity and quality of diagnosing and regulating the stability of financial development at the national and global levels, as well as increase the effectiveness of public decision-making.

Published: November 2022

Inflammatory outcomes, including toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) and infectious endophthalmitis, are potentially painful, blinding complications following cataract surgery. In an in vitro pilot study, commercially available, sterile foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during routine canine cataract surgery, and their packaging fluid were surveyed for the presence of bacterial DNA and/or viable (cultivable) bacteria. Swabs from IOLs and packaging fluid from three different veterinary manufacturers and three different production lots/manufacturer were collected for 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing. Packaging fluid samples were collected for aerobic/capnophilic bacterial culture. Culture yielded one isolate, identified asStaphylococcus epidermidis. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed distinct brand-specific bacterial DNA profiles, conserved between IOLs and packaging fluid of all production lots within each manufacturer. The dominant taxonomy differentiating each manufacturer was annotated asStaphylococcussp, and was a 100% match toS.epidermidis. Distinct mixtures of bacterial DNA are present and consistent in IOLs and packaging fluid depending on the manufacturer, andStaphylococcusis the dominant contributor to the bacterial DNA detected. Caralens products had a significantly lower amount ofStaphylococcus spp. compared to Anvision and Dioptrix products.

Authors: Banu Milsan Getu , Zewdu Geberemedhin Endrias
Published: November 2022

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the foodborne disease-causing bacterial pathogens. A cross-sectional study was conducted in selected towns of the West Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia from December 2020 to April 2021. The objectives of the study were to estimate the occurrence and load of S. aureus in raw cows’ milk, the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the S. aureus isolates, and assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the farmers on factors of antimicrobial resistance. A total of 311 samples from raw cows’ milk (212), milkers’ hands (44), and milking buckets (55) swabs were collected and tested. The disc diffusion method was used to test the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the factors of milk contamination with S. aureus and antimicrobial resistance. The Chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, and logistic regression analysis were used for data analyses. The result indicated that 16.72% (52/311) (95% CI: 12.75–21.34%) of the samples were positive for S. aureus. The occurrence of S. aureus was 22.73%, 16.51%, and 12.73% in milkers’ hand swabs, cow milk, and milking bucket swabs, respectively. The mean count of S. aureus from raw cows’ milk was 4.3± 1.45 log10 CFU/ml. About 88% of S aureus isolates were resistant to ampicillin while 82.9% and 70.7% of the isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime respectively. The majority of the S. aureus isolates (61%) showed multi-drug resistance. The odds of S. aureus isolation from the milk of cows were significantly high in older cows (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]: 5.54; p = 0.001), in late lactation stages (AOR: 3.6; p = 0.012), and in farms where house cleaning was done twice per week (AOR: 8.7; p = 0.001). A high percentage of farmers had insufficient knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about the factors contributing to antimicrobial resistance. In conclusion, the poor milk hygienic practices, high rate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and inadequate KAP of farmers about factors of AMR suggest potential public health risks thus requiring training and surveillance programs.

Published: November 2022

Birth at term comprises a period with heterogeneous neonatal outcomes that tend to be worse for infants born earlier. However, few studies have analyzed this period, in which each day can make a difference. Therefore, we aim to assess neonatal mortality (NM) according to gestational age (GA) at birth measured in days in term liveborn infants born in 2012–2017 in São Paulo, the largest city in Latin America. This population-based cohort study assessed term liveborn infants followed until the end of the neonatal period. We analyzed 7 models for NM according to GA in days: crude NM adjusted for maternal and prenatal variables, NM additionally adjusted for type of birth and type of hospital, and adjusted NM stratified by type of birth (cesarean and vaginal) and by type of hospital (public and private). We included 440,119 live infants born at 259–293 days of gestation. The median GA at birth was 274 days. In all models, NM was higher for infants born early term, decreasing in infants born full term and rising again in infants born late term. In the unadjusted model, hazard ratios of NM changed daily, decreasing from 3.34 to 1.00 on day 278 and increasing again thereafter. In the stratified analysis according to type of hospital, being born in a public hospital was associated with a reduced risk of NM for infants born at 278–283 days of pregnancy. There was a decrease in GA related to obstetric interventions, especially cesarean sections, which increased NM. The loss of days of pregnancy was larger in private hospitals. Increasing the granularity of GA to days is feasible and has the potential to drive public policies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Brazilian study on GA in days using a national live births database.
New multimodal intervention to reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) severity symptoms—Pilot study with a 12 month follow-up
Authors: Hinse Maximilian , Thronicke Anja , Berghöfer Anne , Matthes Harald
Published: November 2022

Introduction

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by patients’ high level of suffering. Up to 60% of patients with IBS have symptoms of anxiety or depression and only little attention has been paid to their specific requirements. Anthroposophical multimodal therapy (AMT) has been shown to significantly improve health-related quality of life of patients with high symptomatic burden.

Objective

The aim of this pilot study was to find out whether AMT meets the needs of IBS patients and the interactions of AMT with IBS, depression and anxiety

Methods

Patients with diagnosed IBS were included in a feasibility study and received 12 sessions of AMT over 8 weeks (drks.de, DRKS00016890). The primary endpoint was the change of the IBS severity score (IBS-SSS) and changes were calculated by linear mixed effects analyses. The secondary endpoints were changes of self-reported PHQ-9 and GAD-7 for mental comorbidity as well as self-valued effectiveness and satisfaction of AMT.

Results

Thirty-six patients, 89% female, were included in the study. AMT was successfully applied to IBS patients (-45 points in the IBS-SSS, p < .05). AMT had a large positive effect (-84 points in IBS-SSS, p < .003) on patients without anxiety or depression. Over time, patients with higher anxiety scores worsened with regard to their IBS compared to patients with depression and without mental comorbidity. The AMT effect was maintained at a 12 month follow up and both mentally affected and unaffected patients, had even lower IBS severity than shortly after AMT. AMT modules were rated by IBS patients as very effective.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that an 8-week program of AMT improves the severity of IBS with an ongoing effect at a 12 month follow-up. Especially for patients without psychological comorbidities, AMT is very successful. Future IBS therapies should incorporate a modified multimodal concept with stronger psychological therapy modules in parallel for patients with depression and anxiety.
SCGG: A deep structure-conditioned graph generative model
Authors: Faez Faezeh , Hashemi Dijujin Negin , Soleymani Baghshah Mahdieh , Rabiee Hamid R.
Published: November 2022

Deep learning-based graph generation approaches have remarkable capacities for graph data modeling, allowing them to solve a wide range of real-world problems. Making these methods able to consider different conditions during the generation procedure even increases their effectiveness by empowering them to generate new graph samples that meet the desired criteria. This paper presents a conditional deep graph generation method called SCGG that considers a particular type of structural conditions. Specifically, our proposed SCGG model takes an initial subgraph and autoregressively generates new nodes and their corresponding edges on top of the given conditioning substructure. The architecture of SCGG consists of a graph representation learning network and an autoregressive generative model, which is trained end-to-end. More precisely, the graph representation learning network is designed to compute continuous representations for each node in a graph, which are not only affected by the features of adjacent nodes, but also by the ones of farther nodes. This network is primarily responsible for providing the generation procedure with the structural condition, while the autoregressive generative model mainly maintains the generation history. Using this model, we can address graph completion, a rampant and inherently difficult problem of recovering missing nodes and their associated edges of partially observed graphs. The computational complexity of the SCGG method is shown to be linear in the number of graph nodes. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method compared with state-of-the-art baselines.
Interneurons of fan-shaped body promote arousal in Drosophila
Authors: Kato Yoshiaki S. , Tomita Jun , Kume Kazuhiko
Published: November 2022

Sleep is required to maintain physiological functions and is widely conserved across species. To understand the sleep-regulatory mechanisms, sleep-regulating genes and neuronal circuits are studied in various animal species. In the sleep-regulatory neuronal circuits in Drosophila melanogaster, the dorsal fan-shaped body (dFB) is a major sleep-promoting region. However, other sleep-regulating neuronal circuits were not well identified. We recently found that arousal-promoting T1 dopamine neurons, interneurons of protocerebral bridge (PB) neurons, and PB neurons innervating the ventral part of the FB form a sleep-regulatory circuit, which we named “the PB-FB pathway”. In the exploration of other sleep-regulatory circuits, we found that activation of FB interneurons, also known as pontine neurons, promoted arousal. We then found that FB interneurons had possible connections with the PB-FB pathway and dFB neurons. Ca2+ imaging revealed that FB interneurons received excitatory signals from the PB-FB pathway. We also demonstrated the possible role of FB interneurons to regulate dFB neurons. These results suggested the role of FB interneurons in sleep regulation.
Comparing sentencing judgments of judges and laypeople: The role of justifications
Authors: Watamura Eiichiro , Ioku Tomohiro
Published: November 2022

There is a lack of understanding concerning the differences between laypeople’s and professional judges’ conceptions of justifications for sentencing. We conducted an online quasi-experimental study with 50 active judges and 200 laypeople. Participants were presented with a vignette describing severe child abuse leading to fatality and were asked to indicate a term of imprisonment for the father and the justification they would consider relevant when deciding on the sentence. A two-factor analysis of variance showed that laypeople disproportionately favored retribution compared to judges. This was reflected in the judges’ higher scores for the other three justifications (incapacitation, general deterrence, rehabilitation). The Likert scales failed to detect any such differences. Furthermore, imprisonment terms given by judges were shorter than those given by laypeople. These results support the hypotheses that judges balance multiple justifications and find a shorter sentence that is appropriate; their lesser bias toward retribution supports the notion that judges should be balanced and fair-minded.
Pilot comparison of outcome measures across chemical and surgical experimental models of chronic osteoarthritis in the rat (Rattus norvegicus)

Published: November 2022

Relatively little work has evaluated both the disease of osteoarthritis (OA) and clinically-relevant pain outcome measures across different OA models in rats. The objective of this study was to compare sensitivity, pain, and histological disease severity across chemical and surgical models of OA in the rat. Stifle OA was induced in Sprague–Dawley rats via intraarticular injection of monoiodoacetate (MIA) or surgical transection of anterior cruciate ligament and/or destabilization of medial meniscus (ACL+DMM or DMM alone). Reflexive (e.g., mechanical and thermal stimuli) measures of sensitivity and non-reflexive assays (e.g., lameness, static hindlimb weight-bearing asymmetry, dynamic gait analysis) of pain were measured over time. Joint degeneration was assessed histologically. Six-weeks post OA-induction, the ACL+DMM animals had significantly greater visually observed lameness than MIA animals; however, both ACL+DMM and MIA animals showed equal pain as measured by limb use during ambulation and standing. The MIA animals showed increased thermal, but not mechanical, sensitivity compared to ACL+DMM animals. Joint degeneration was significantly more severe in the MIA model at 6 weeks. Our pilot data suggest both the ACL+DMM and MIA models are equal in terms of clinically relevant pain behaviors, but the MIA model is associated with more severe histological changes over time potentially making it more suitable for screening disease modifying agents. Future work should further characterize each model in terms of complex pain behaviors and biochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis of the sensory system and joint tissues, which will allow for more informed decisions associated with model selection and investigative outcomes.
Manifesto: Fertilizing mourning – Global South’s offering to a world in flames
Authors: Otta Eliana
Published: November 2022

This manifesto takes the coincidence of Peru’s and Greece’s bicentennials of independence, and their overlap with the COVID-19 pandemic, as a departure point, in order to propose a different understanding of mourning from the Global South. The article is an open invitation to reinforce mourning’s capacity to be a reproductive life force, responding to contemporary experiences of loss in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accelerated processes of extinction, especially in resource extraction zones, like the Amazon. Taking inspiration from ancient Indigenous techniques for soil regeneration, fertilizing mourning is a call to merge traditional knowledge, collective practices and non-anthropocentric world-views that resist individualism and capitalism both in the Global South and in places that defend communal life in the north of the planet. This manifesto proposes that to transform prevalent colonial, modern structures, it is necessary to develop a different relationship with nature, by reconsidering the entanglements between life, death and regeneration.

Retóricas de la memoria en las relaciones de desastres: la erupción del Vesubio de 1631
Authors:   Università di Napoli Federico II, Schiano Gennaro
Published: November 2022

La erupción del Vesubio de 1631 alcanza un eco inusual en los medios de aquel tiempo : se narra en obras heterogéneas que no solo ofrecen interpretaciones y representaciones muy distintas del acontecimiento, sino que también proponen imponer su versión de los hechos, presentándola más creíble que la de los demás, para asegurarse de que sea recordada. La comparación entre las relaciones de Simón de Ayala y Juan de Quiñones puede ser útil para comprender hasta qué punto la legitimidad del testimonio sobre los hechos relatados está conectada con la memoria del evento. Los dos textos permiten hacer hincapié en algunas de las estructuras retóricas y discursivas que construyen la memoria de los acontecimientos en las relaciones de sucesos.
Festividades para el nacimiento del Príncipe Próspero: ¿exaltación de la potencia de la monarquía española o revelación de una situación de crisis profunda?
Authors:   CRES, Jiménez Guillén Francisca
Published: November 2022

En noviembre de 1657 nace Felipe Próspero, el tan deseado heredero de la monarquía española. Numerosas festividades celebran el acontecimiento. Dan cuenta de ello muchas relaciones entre las cuales la redactada por el cronista real, don Rodrigo Méndez Silva, que se propone servir a la corona exaltándola. Durante este periodo de celebraciones, don Jerónimo de Barrionuevo está en la corte y envía cartas con abundantes noticias al deán de la catedral de Sigüenza (donde sigue siendo tesorero). Por su curiosidad y su enfoque peculiar sobre los acontecimientos, transmite a su « amigo del alma » una versión de las celebraciones que dista de la del cronista. A Barrionuevo no se le « queda nada en el tintero, ni bueno ni malo » por lo que pone de realce varias dificultades, y no solo financieras. Así, con las festividades para el nacimiento del Príncipe, ¿ la monarquía justifica su potencia y riqueza o revela que atraviesa una crisis profunda ?
Entre la lealtad y la crítica: ocaso de las Relaciones de fiesta en la Ilustración Goyesca
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla, Montoya Rodríguez María del Carmen
Published: November 2022

Este artículo señala los indicios de decadencia del género relacionero en el reinado de Carlos IV, partiendo del ciclo festivo sevillano de 1789. A lo largo del período se impone un modelo más noticioso que descriptivo, que permita versiones simplificadas y homogéneas de la fiesta. Las limitaciones del género, además, se ponen de manifiesto con la censura de Relaciones oficiales y la proliferación de papeles públicos de carácter crítico-satírico. Por último, el éxito de Relaciones y gacetas burlescas confirma la fortaleza del discurso crítico frente al sistema de representación barroco.

Noticias de China: actualidad desde las antípodas. Relaciones de sucesos militares chinos, 1622-1651
Authors:   Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, CRES-LECEMO, Soulier Eliette
Published: November 2022

Este trabajo reflexiona sobre la escritura del acontecimiento a partir del análisis de cinco relaciones de sucesos militares chinos, impresas entre 1622 y 1651. ¿ Cómo contar la actualidad de las partes más remotas del Imperio hispánico ? Los interrogantes que plantea este corpus son la selección del evento que saldrá a la imprenta : no se imprime sobre cualquier suceso. Luego, la interpretación de este suceso, es decir la manera de contarlo e insertarlo en el contexto socio-histórico de los receptores, muy diferente del contexto en el que ocurrieron los hechos narrados. Esta investigación analiza también la existencia –o no–, por parte de los lectores-oyentes, de una conciencia de la totalidad del imperio, es decir una manera de interpretar la actualidad que relacione las distintas partes del imperio entre ellas.
Discurso y memoria en torno al asedio de La Rochelle en las relaciones de sucesos (1627-1628)
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Álvarez García Beatriz
Published: November 2022

En este artículo se analiza el discurso presente en las relaciones de sucesos sobre el asedio de la ciudad francesa de La Rochelle publicadas durante los años 1627 y 1628. Se estudia cómo la discusión sobre un acontecimiento externo se incorporaba a una explicación global y el discurso se adaptaba al contexto de producción. Su larga duración, el marcado carácter religioso, potenciado además por un contexto internacional favorable para tal discurso, la identificación de un enemigo común y una perspectiva temporal y geográfica amplia son elementos que favorecieron e impulsaron el interés público por el sitio de La Rochelle.

Authors:   Canal Sur Radio, Valverde Robles Antonio Ángel
Published: November 2022

De 2018 a 2020 se han conmemorado los cuatrocientos cincuenta años de la sublevación de los moriscos del reino de Granada, de la guerra de las Alpujarras. En 1571, tras dos años de lucha con milicianos de toda Castilla y con los tercios de Nápoles, de ciento sesenta mil moriscos que habitaban el antiguo reino nazarí, ochenta mil salen deportados. Del resto, la mayoría muere o son esclavizados. Las noticias manuscritas circulan hacia Madrid y Europa, pero sólo tenemos dos relaciones impresas y dos pliegos poéticos. Y referencias de algún impreso informativo más. Inmediatamente después, se multiplicarán las relaciones sobre Lepanto. Las tres grandes crónicas de la sublevación también se editarán después, tras la muerte de Felipe II. La rebelión de los moriscos granadinos, aventuro, se vetó en los impresos coetáneos, se silenció.

Igualdad y coeducación. Retos para las escuelas del siglo XXI
Authors: Morales Romo Noelia
Published: November 2022

El poder socializador de la escuela hace que sea un espacio de construcción social del que se espera mucho. La respuesta para sol­ventar a medio plazo la mayoría de las problemáticas sociales es uní­voca: la clave está en la educación. Es, ciertamente, una demanda justificada y, al mismo tiempo, una responsabilidad ambiciosa. En este marco, este texto pretende contribuir a la educación en igual­dad y la coeducación y, por ello, está dirigido especialmente a futu­ros y futuras docentes de los distintos niveles educativos Que la escuela es un potente y efectivo instrumento reductor de desigualdades no está en tela de juicio, a pesar de las dificultades y deficiencias que puedan existir (y de hecho lo hacen). Cumple, por tanto, funciones sociales que exceden a las meramente académicas y curriculares, y esto implica que en los centros educativos coexis­ten viejas y nuevas funciones, un vaivén entre la reproducción y la transformación social. Considerando la escuela como la piedra angular para lograr una sociedad no sólo más formada, sino también más igualitaria e in­clusiva, este texto se focaliza en su papel en la formación de futuras generaciones en las que la igualdad entre géneros sea efectiva y una realidad a todos los niveles socioeducativos. Se trata de un objeto de estudio complejo con múltiples ingredientes y puntos de vista; por ello su abordaje se ha realizado interdisciplinarmente introduciendo diversos elementos de análisis para ofrecer a quien se acerque a esta obra criterios para una reflexión profunda sobre los retos de las es­cuelas en materia de Coeducación.
Cadena de valor de las exportaciones de maracuyá en Ecuador: diagnóstico 2015-2019

Published: November 2022

Introduction/objective: Strengthening value chains facilitates the productive diversification of economies. In this context, the purpose of this article is to carry out a diagnosis of the passion fruit value chain in Ecuador in the period 2015-2019, following the methodology established by Padilla and Oddone (2016) in the ECLAC Manual for Strengthening Value Chains. Methodology: This exploratory study began with a statistical analysis of the production and marketing of passion fruit and products made it over the period 2015-2019. This was complemented with a qualitative analysis based on information gathered from interviews with producers, processors, and exporters. Results: A mapping and detailed study of the value chain was carried out and the main constraints of each link were identified. It was found that the notorious drop in passion fruit production and exports in the study period has to do with local demand trends, low profit margins, lack of access to credit and agricultural insurance, poor infrastructure, and excessive power of intermediaries. Conclusions: Passion fruit production for export, both as a fruit and as an industrialized product, has considerable potential. However, the restrictions identified have prevented this potential from being exploited. Therefore, joint action by the State, the private sector and academia is essential. This diagnosis is a first step in providing relevant information for the development of public policy to overcome existing bottlenecks.

Planning Theory and Environmental Ethics: Towards the Integration of Biodiversity and Urban Planning
Authors: Umar Fitrawan , Winarso Haryo
Published: November 2022

Planning is a forward-looking and public-interest process, and for that purpose there is a choice of actions to be taken. Communicative rationality is highly recommended in planning related to the environment. However, among the factors that influence environmental planning communication, particularly regarding biodiversity issues, environmental ethics is still rarely discussed. Various environmental ethics need to be understood by a planner as a communicator and translating the desires of interested groups. Attention to environmental ethics also helps planners in selecting appropriate approaches to integrate biodiversity into urban planning. This study aims to examine the relationship between planning theory and environmental ethics that is often overlooked in efforts to integrate biodiversity and urban planning. With the narrative literature review method, the results showed that the approach of cultural ecosystem services is one of the middle paths to bridge the variety of environmental ethics that are understood by the community and government. This approach opens a wide space for motives to conserve biodiversity in urban areas so that aspects of sustainability and human well-being can be achieved together.

Published: November 2022

Semarang is the center of government and the center of economic activity in Central Java. The rapidly developing Semarang economy is characterized by an increasing number of in-migration, employment, the quality of education and infrastructure development. These developments led to an increase in the intensity of human movement, which was reflected in an increase in traffic flow dominated by private vehicles. The increasing use of private vehicles can affect the efficiency of the urban economy. One of the efforts in dealing with these problems is by providing public transportation such as BRT. BRT is a manifestation of the development of a public transportation system that supports the concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). TOD has a development orientation at the transit point and is surrounded by a high-intensity built-up area with a radius of 400 - 800 meters. To be able to find out whether the transit point in Semarang is in accordance with the development objectives that support TOD, a transit point measurement with the TOD concept in Semarang is measured. The research method used is a quantitative approach with scoring, weighting and spatial analysis methods.The measurement results show that 8% of transit points are in accordance with their application in supporting the concept of Transit Oriented Development with a percentage of transit points that are quite appropriate at 61%, which means that transit points are able to support the transportation system with the concept of Transit Oriented Development. Transit points that are still not appropriate in implementing Transit Oriented Development by 31% of transit points so that it needs to be considered in order to be adapted to local policies to be able to support the transportation system with the concept of Transit Oriented Development. Almost all transit points meet the TOD principle with the use of heterogeneous land use, easy access in changing public transportation modes and designs that support pedestrian and bicycle activities. Only two transit points are included in the "appropriate" category, namely the Simpang Lima transit point and the Gajah transit point. To be able to maximize the transit point, the conformity value of all TOD principles must be included in the high category. However, indicators that are difficult to maximize should be adjusted to the policies in Semarang.

The square is known as a landmark for a city. The square also functions as a place for people to socialize and do activities both individually and in groups. Semarang City Square underwent a change in land use in 1969 to become a trading area and losing its function as a public open space. In 2015 after the burning of Johar Market, the Semarang City Government is carrying out a revitalization project to restore Semarang City Square to its original state. Revitalization is an effort to increase the value of land through rebuilding in an area that can improve the function of the previous area. The purpose of this research is to examine the public perception of the revitalization of Semarang City Square as a public open space. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with the analysis technique of presenting data in the form of descriptive. In exploring people's perceptions, it uses aspects of community comfort when doing activities in public spaces, namely comfort, activity, accessibility, and sociability. Based on the findings, Semarang City Square before it became a trading area and after revitalization had fundamental differences in the provision of physical facilities to support the comfort of the community when doing activities in the square. The revitalization of Semarang City Square has a positive impact on society. Apart from being able to restore the cultural heritage that has been lost, the government has also succeeded in restoring the function of the Semarang City Square as a public open space.

Kawasan perkotaan yang tidak terencana menyebabkan adanya jarak antara lokasi hunian dengan lokasi pemenuhan kebutuhan. . Dengan adanya jarak tersebut mempunyai dampak pada pengeluaran biaya transportasi dan hunian yang dikeluarkan oleh masyarakat, seperti Provinsi Jawa Tengah pada Kawasann Aglomerasi Bregasmalang. Berdasarkan data BPS terdapat sebesar 44,2% pengeluaran yang digunakan masyarakat guna memenuhi kebutuhan tempat tinggal sebagai kebutuhan utama. Disampig itu, sebesar 25% masyarakat mengeluarkan biaya transportasi di Jawa Tengah. Hal ini dinilai sebagai salah satu penyebab dari rendahnya tingkat kesejahteraan dan daya beli masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah (MBR) di Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan penyediaan koridor potensial untuk angkutan umum massal berbasis jalan di wilayah aglomerasi Bregasmalang. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan pendekatan kuantitatif menggunakan analisis Network analyst dengan berbasis GIS. Melalui metode tersebut hasil yang diharapkan dalam penelitian ini berupa koridor potensial dan prioritas pembangunan yang sesuai dengan lokasi hunian terjangkau sebagai titik permintaan perjalanan yang dapat menekan pengeluaran transportasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat 4 koridor potensial angkutan umum massal beserta prioritas pembangunannya , yaitu Koridor III Tegal Timur – Bumijawa, Koridor IV Kersana – Slawi. Koridor I Pemalang – Tegal timur , Koridor II Tegal Timur- Losari.

Proper practice of operations and maintenance of water supply system is necessary to ensure the fulfillment of community’s water need while maintaining the continuity of functionality of the water facility. This study aims to explore the practice of operations and maintenance of water facilities in Citalang Village. Data collection is done through deep interviews with operator and beneficiaries of four water facilities in Citalang Village and field observation. This study uses qualitative approach with inductive analysis, referring to the analysis of Miles and Huberman model and Spradley model. Result of the finding shows a degree of how operations and maintenance of water facility conducted in four different locations. The implementation of technical procedures is important to achieve the proper practice of water facility operations, while maintenance need to be carried out through routine and periodic inspection and restoration. Evidence also suggests several factors that hamper the potential sustainability of the water supply system, namely the absence of routine maintenance mechanism and the absence of tariff structure supporting it, the absence of operator rotation, the absence of collective agreement on efficient water consumption, and finally financial limitations of beneficiaries.

The present review summarizes the multifaceted uses and recent findings regarding the phytochemistry, traditional use, pharmacology, and toxicity of the extracts and compounds of Aconitum coreanum Rapaics (Ranunculaceae) for the first time to facilitate further research and exploitation of these types of compounds and the utilization of A. coreanum plants. A. coreanum is one of the most important medicinal Aconitum species and has been traditionally and popularly used in China and other Asian countries for the treatment of headaches and migraines, Bi syndrome induced by wind, cold and dampness, and facial paralysis. Phytochemical studies have led to the isolation of 55 distinct small molecule compounds from A. coreanum, most of which are diterpenoid alkaloids. Related pharmacological studies have focused primarily on the antiarrhythmic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anticancer activities of A. coreanum and its derived drugs. Alkaloids have been demonstrated to be the main active ingredients in this plant. In particular, hetisine-type DAs, mainly Guan-fu base A and its analogues, which possess prominent antiarrhythmic effects, other effects, and hypotoxicity, could be regarded as the representative constituents of A. coreanum. Polysaccharides from A. coreanum also displayed broad bioactivities, demonstrating great potential for further research and exploitation. However, few of the current studies have examined the main active components in A. coreanum from different regions. In addition, most of the pharmacological studies on A. coreanum polysaccharides were carried out using crude or poorly characterized fractions. Finally, reliable analytical methods and deeper studies on the toxicity of the compounds from A. coreanum are needed to ensure the safe usage of these products.

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is considered as predominant welding technique that is used in the manufacturing of modern automobile structure. The automobile structure is made of high strength steel which is preferred by the car industry companies due to its high strength-weight ratio. This work presents an optimization method for RSW of high-strength low-alloy steel DOCOL 500 LA. Tensile test and microstructure analysis for base material (BM) were carried out to get the mechanical properties of BM and to specify the rolling direction. Taguchi method, high efficiency technique, was applied using Minitab19 software to achieve the optimization process. Tensile shear test was carried out to evaluate the strength of welding nugget, absorbed energy and failure mode. The results showed that the optimum parameters were 8,800 A for the current, 30 cycles for the welding time and 2,230 N for the electrode force and two types of failure modes could be observed which were interfacial and full pullout mode.

We investigate the possibility of using Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) to develop models of vertical crustal movements (VCMs). We determined VCM using the DInSAR method in the locations of four Polish GNSS stations: Borowa Góra, Borowiec, Lamkówko, and Józefosław. They are included in the International GNSS service and EUREF permanent GNSS networks. All Sentinel-1A and 1B satellite data were from 2020, and the time intervals of the created interferograms are 12 days, 24 days, and 336 days for each of the orbits: ascending and descending. We verified the calculated results of VCM based on GNSS data recorded by individual stations. We developed reference data with the precise point positioning (PPP) method. We confronted them with the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory service. The GNSS data covered larger time intervals than the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. To calculate daily positions with the PPP method we used GipsyX software. The obtained results of the directions of displacement are convergent between SAR and GNSS data. The values differ from each other, both between the types of orbits and GNSS data. The obtained results allow us to assume that SAR data developed using the DInSAR method may provide additional support in the development of VCM models in the Polish area, but they cannot be the only source of such results.
