The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Sexually Transmitted Infections
Authors: Bouceiro-Mendes Rita , Borges-da-Costa J.
Published: October 2021

Novel coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted health care in general and has disrupted our routines. Health care services were mostly directed towards the emergency response and containment measures to halt virus spreading have been applied worldwide. It has also indirectly impacted the transmission of other infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STI). For STI, physical distancing measures have the potential to decrease STI transmission whereas the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare resources with interruption of STI diagnosis and treatment drives in the opposite direction. The question is how the counterbalancing impact of these forces will affect the course of STI epidemic. In this article we review the current available data on the COVID-19 impact on sexual behaviours, STI services interruption and reported STI rates, including local data.
Steroid-resistant Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis Mimicking Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Successfully Treated by Methotrexate
Authors: Djawad Khairuddin
Published: October 2021

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a rare drug-induced eruption that is characterized by sterile non-follicular pustules arising on an often edematous diffuse erythematous background. Generalized pustular psoriasis is an acute and severe clinical form of psoriasis presenting as pustular eruption with erythematous base. Differentiating both diseases is often challenging because of their clinical and histopathological similarities. A 62-year-old woman presented with pustular eruption and fever three days after taking propyphenazone. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Histopathological findings revealed a subcorneal spongiform pustule filled with neutrophils and perivascular inflammatory cell infiltration with neutrophils in the dermis. She was initially treated with systemic steroids, however, the lesions showed insignificant improvement. Treatment was then shifted to methotrexate which resulted in a dramatic clinical improvement.

Authors: Rolim Luísa , M. Fernandes Bruno , Carvalho Carolina , Silva António , Calvão Joana , Vieira Ricardo , Borrego Margarida
Published: October 2021

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, with a very low incidence of metastases, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The morpheaform clinical variant is uncommon, presenting an aggressive growth pattern. Early diagnosis and new targeted therapies for metastatic disease are important to improve survival rates. We present the case of a 29-year-old patient with morpheaform basal cell carcinoma in the right genian region. Due to local recurrences, he underwent surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. For extensive metastatic bone involvement, the patient started vismodegib and, later, pembrolizumab, and also performed palliative radiotherapy. Despite several lines of systemic therapy, the disease progressed, and the patient died after 8 years of follow-up. This case shows how crucial it is to identify risk factors for metastatic basal cell carcinoma and highlights the need to improve target therapies and tailor them to the patient’s biological profile.

Debris flow frequently attacks rivers on slopes of Merapi Volcano and causes fatalities and damage of infrastructures. To reduce the risk of debris flow, a warning system has been developed by Sabo Office Center. Critical line and snake line graph are applied in Merapi Volcano to monitor characteristics of rainfall in the upland river basin. However, this warning system cannot predict the arrival time and location of the debris flow occurrence. Numerical simulation seems to be a good tool to improve its performance. This research proposed an idea to combine rainfall-based warning system with the numerical simulation model. This model used slope stability theory to identify debris flow initiation. Results of this research showed that fluctuation of rainfall intensity reflects changes of debris flow initiation area. The more severe rainfall intensity, the larger volume of surface flow, and thus the greater debris flow initiation takes place. When the rainfall monitoring is combined with the debris flow simulation results, there is a tendency of the enlargement of the debris flow area to follow the growth of the hourly rainfall.

Riverbank erosion is a major concern in all parts of the world due to its extensive impacts geomorphologically and economically. This study aims to quantify the rates of riverbank erosion of Pusu River using erosion pins method. Two sections of the river were selected namely site A and site B where site A is a straight section while site B is situated on the outside bend. 21 pins were installed at each site in a grid pattern. Measurement of erosion pins exposure were taken from February 2019 to April 2019. Field observation were made to identify the possible factors influencing the bank erosion. The average rates of bank erosion ranged between 0.05 cm/day to 0.21 cm/day at site A and 0.09 cm/day to 0.51 cm/day at site B. Bank failure occurred at site B towards the end of measurement period due to high flow after heavy rainfall event. Field observations suggest that rates of riverbank erosion were influenced by several factors such as the flow velocity and vegetative cover of the bank.

Investigation of deterioration progress in marine structures without destroying them is crucial as early detection of damage before applying the suitable remedial measures. This study presents a series of non-destructive assessment on a 44-year-old naturally corroded RC structure exposed to marine tidal environments using observation of defective appearances and electrochemical tests. The visual observation was conducted by inspecting the corrosion condition of steel bars, crack patterns, and the spalling of concrete cover. The electrochemical investigations carried out in this research consisted of the half-cell potential mapping, the electrical resistivity of concrete, and the corrosion rate of steel bars. The results revealed that electrochemical test results conducted in this research were in good agreement with the actual deterioration degree checked by defective appearances. The RC structure was categorized as Grade II-1 (first half of the acceleration stage). Based on the deterioration degree, both applications of small direct current to control the potential of steel bars in immunity condition and patch repair method by removing the chloride contaminated concrete were recommended as appropriate repairing strategies, and they could extend the service life the of structure.

The Aceh earthquake suffering Indonesia in 2004, and some big ground motions afterward led the earthquake-resistant building standard provisions to be updated. The rise of ground motions increases the lateral forces, so reevaluating existing buildings is needed, especially for Irregular buildings, which are more vulnerable than the regular ones. This study investigates the increase of earthquake loads and the building response in the high seismicity region due to the updated Indonesian code from SNI 1726:2002 to SNI 1726:2012. Building A in DI Yogyakarta with vertical irregularity on a certain floor is chosen as the object to be studied. There are two types of seismic loads to be simulated, response spectrum and time history analysis. The building is simulated using the numerical program, and four ground motion histories are selected for the dynamic exiting forces. The analysis result shows an increase in the story force either in the response spectrum or the time history. By taking the building's top floor as the reference point, the increase in lateral displacement is also detected in both response spectrum and time history analysis. From the interstory drift ratio examinations, it is also found that there is a weak point located on the setback part that is not identified just by observing the total displacement. This paper compiles the comparison of two versions of the Indonesian seismic code, two types of seismic force, and two points of view in analyzing the building response. Furthermore, the result presented in this paper also beneficial for mitigating the building.

Eutrophication is one of the global concerned due to algae bloom in the natural surface water such as lakes and swamp area. Industrial effluent with incomplete treatment discharged has become one of the main culprits to this phenomenon. Approximately, 0.3 – 13 mg/L of total phosphorus can be found in the final discharge of industrial effluent showing that the existing treatment including an activated carbon filter (ACF) has limitation in polishing the phosphorus. Therefore, this 16 week of study has been designed to study the alternative treatment phosphorus removal at secondary stage to replace the tertiary treatment by using steel manufacturing by-product as filter media for effective phosphorus removal from the textile industry wastewater. Two units of lab-scale vertical steel slag filter (SSF) systems under aerated and unaerated conditions have been developed for this study. The samples were collected and analysed biweekly for selected parameters including pH, alkalinity, DO and TP. The results obtained from this study show that the unaerated steel slag filter has a high efficiency of TP removal which ranged from 46% to 70% compared to the aerated SSF with removal efficiency ranged from 37% to 66%. Besides, the existing ACF removal efficiency was ranged from 36% to 54%. Thus, the use of steel slag in removing phosphorus from textile wastewater is possible with the used of both aerated and unaerated steel slag filter systems. Furthermore, the removal mechanism involved was likely to be precipitation and adsorption.

A green roofs is one of the recommended methods of practice in improving the sustainability of urban areas. Green roofs can be used as a passive technique to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere. This is due to the role of green roof layers which are vegetation and soil to process the photosynthesis activities and to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. The objective of this paper is to quantify and to compare the amount of CO2 sequestration by ten potential green roof plants, in order to estimate the CO2 reduction within the surrounding atmosphere. It is found that, by planting the Alternanthera Paronychioides (Alternanthera P.) on the roof surface could reduce the indoor air temperature as well as the CO2, thus enhance the quality of air. This study also revealed that the Alternanthera P. generates the highest photosynthesis rate or CO2 uptake compared to the other nine plants, as high as 23.59 μmol CO2 m-2s-1. It is predicted that if the Alternanthera P. is to be installed on a 0.64 m2 test bed roof, the CO2 could be reduced almost 0.010 tonnes, annually. This suggested that by planting Alternanthera P. on the roof surfaces may potentially give advantages on mitigating the greenhouse gas emission, particularly CO2, and reducing the impact of global warming.

The modern application of frequency response function (FRF) with artificial neural networks (ANN) has become one of the leading methods in vibration-based damage detection approach. However, since full-size empirically obtained FRF data is used as ANN input, a broad composition ANN input layer series would occur. Consequently, principal component analysis (PCA) is adopted to compress the FRF data magnitude. Despite this, PCA alone is unable to select the important FRF data features effectively, due to the exceedingly FRF data size in addition with existing uncertainties. Therefore, this study proposed the merger of a non-probabilistic analysis and ANN approach with PCA by considering the uncertainties effect and the inefficiency of using empirical FRF data. The empirical FRF data is obtained from a steel truss bridge structure. The results show that the PoDE values above 95% are measured at the particular executed damage locations and the DMI values show the damage severity at the actual damage locations. Overall, the results show that the proposed method is capable in considering the uncertainties effect on the empirical FRF data for structural damage identification.

The timber concrete composite (TCC) deck system is a new technology that consists of timber and concrete composite structures but remains uncommon in Malaysia. TCC is a structural system where timber beams and concrete slabs are combined to form a composite material, resisting tensile stress and compressive stress, respectively. The addition of concrete slabs protects timber beams from direct contact with water, which is crucial to ensure the durability of timber beams. Different types of connectors can be used to provide force exchange between concrete slabs and timber beams. This research was conducted to study the vibration behavior of timber-concrete composite deck systems with or without concrete topping. The deck was constructed using twenty pieces of sawn timber measuring 3.6m x 0.09 m with a concrete topping of 0.065m. Experimental tests were conducted using an electrodynamic shaker with a frequency range of 1 Hz to 200 Hz. The shaker was placed on a laminated deck as vertical force and 15 accelerometers were used as output data collectors. Me´scope and SAP2000 package were used for data analysis. The natural frequency values of the first mode shape with and without concrete topping based on Me´scope analysis are 12.8Hz and 16.9Hz, respectively. Meanwhile, the finite element modeling analysis shows that the frequency of the first mode shape with laminated deck without concrete topping is 11.4 Hz while the one with concrete topping is 16.2 Hz. The natural frequencies obtained from the experimental test and the modal analysis are greater than 8 Hz, thereby concluding that the TCC laminated deck system is suitable and comfortable for building occupants.
Vahiy Esnasında Hissedilen Çınlama Sesi: Salsaletü'l-Ceres

Published: October 2021

Yüce Allah ile peygamberleri arasında gerçekleşen iletişimin genel adı vahiydir. Tarih boyunca insanlara birer elçi olarak gönderilmiş olan peygamberler vahiy hadisesine muhatap olmuşlar, Allah’ın insanlara bildirdiği öğütleri, emirleri, yasakları ve gayb âlemine ait haberleri vahiy yoluyla alarak onlara ulaştırmışlardır. Son peygamber Hz. Muhammmed (s.a.v.) de bir peygamber olarak vahye muhatap olmuş ve yaşadığı bu tecrübenin nasıl gerçekleştiğine dair bazı açıklamalarda bulunmuştur. Buna göre Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v.) birden farklı şekilde vahye muhatap olmuştur. Bu vahiy çeşitlerinden birisi oldukça dikkat çekici ve gizemlidir. İlgili rivayetlerde “salsaletü’l-ceres”e yani “çınlama sesi”ne benzer bir şekilde nitelenen bu vahiy türü, Hz. Peygamberin vahiy esnasında yaşadığı ruhânî tecrübenin bir ifadesi olması bakımından ayrı bir yere sahiptir. Makalede bu vahiy türünün gelişinden söz eden rivayetlere yer verildikten sonra hadis şarihlerinin ve diğer müelliflerin rivayet hakkındaki açıklamaları ve yorumları ele alınıp incelenmiştir.

Mappanretasi (pesta laut) adalah kolaborasi tradisional yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat suku Bugis di desa Pagatan, Tanah Bumbu Kalimantan Selatan. Banyak orang berasumsi bahwa perayaan tradisional Mappanretasi adalah ritual untuk ibadah atas hasil laut, dalam pergeseran makna perayaan itu berarti berterima kasih kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa untuk bersyukur dan berterima kasih atas produksi hasil laut yang sanggat melimpah, waktu Mappanretasi digunakan sebagai makna untuk membangun relasi pertemanan antara berbagai masyarakat yang terdiri dari banyak etnis dengan yang lainnya dalam lingkungan sosial, ini ditafsirkan dalam ritual ibadah laut. Penerapan Mappanretasi masih banyak yangtidak dimengerti oleh banyak orang, memberikan sebuah persepsi negatif atas pesan esensial yang terkandung dalam perayaan tersebut. bahwa perayaan Mappanretasi sebuah pesan moral, setiap orang harus berterima kasih kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa atas karunia, kelimpahan rezeki, dan kesehatan atas sesuatu yang diberikan.

Hak atas pangan merupakan hak dasar yang harus dipenuhi oleh Negara demi menjamin terpenuhinya Hak Asasi Manusia bagi setiap warga negaranya tanpa terkecuali. Terpenuhinya hak atas pangan di masa pandemi covid-19 ini adalah menjadi bagian dari kewajiban HAM Negara. Negara harus memastikan di masa pandemi yang juga melanda ini tidak akan ada masyarakat yang menderita kelaparan atau tidak bisa memenuhi kebutuhan dasarnya akan hak atas pangan sehingga diperlukan langkah-langkah serta kebijakan yang diambil Negara untuk pemenuhan hak atas dasar pangan di masa pandemi covid-19 saat ini. Jika negara gagal maka itu dapat disebut sebagai pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia. Pemerintah Indonesia harus memastikan bahwa di masa pandemi tidak boleh ada masyarakat yang kekurangan makanan, selain itu pemerintah juga harus berkoordiansi mulai dari Pemeriintah Pusat sampai Pemerintah Daerah dalam tingkatan yang paling rendah untuk memastikan bahwa bahan makanan dapat tersedia di seluruh wilayah Indonesia serta dapat diakses dengan mudah bagi warga negara Indonesia tanpa terkecuali. Sangat penting untuk menjaga pola hidup sehat di masa pandemi virus covid-19 antara lain dengan meningkatkan imun tubuh dengan makan-makanan yang bergizi, mencukupi kebutuhan nutrisi, memperbaiki waktu tidur, dan selalu berpikir positif.

Comparing Random Effects Models, Ordinary Least Squares, or Fixed Effects with Cluster Robust Standard Errors for Cross-Classified Data
Authors: Lee Young Ri , Pustejovsky James E
Published: October 2021

Cross-classified random effects modeling (CCREM) is a common approach for analyzing cross-classified data in psychology, education research, and other fields. However, when the focus of a study is on the regression coefficients at level one rather than on the random effects, ordinary least squares regression with cluster robust variance estimators (OLS-CRVE) or fixed effects regression with CRVE (FE-CRVE) could be appropriate approaches. These alternative methods are potentially advantageous because they rely on weaker assumptions than those required by CCREM. We conducted a Monte Carlo Simulation study to compare the performance of CCREM, OLS-CRVE, and FE-CRVE in models, including conditions where homoscedasticity assumptions and exogeneity assumptions held and conditions where they were violated, as well as conditions with unmodeled random slopes. We found that CCREM out-performed the alternative approaches when its assumptions are all met. However, when homoscedasticity assumptions are violated, OLS-CRVE and FE-CRVE provided similar or better performance than CCREM. When the exogeneity assumption is violated, only FE-CRVE provided adequate performance. Further, OLS-CRVE and FE-CRVE provided more accurate inferences than CCREM in the presence of un-modeled random slopes. Thus, we recommend two-way FE-CRVE as a good alternative to CCREM, particularly if the homoscedasticity or exogeneity assumptions of the CCREM might be in doubt.
