Published: March 2022

Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder are at increased risk of severe outcomes if infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Whether patients with SMI are at increased risk of COVID-19 is, however, sparsely investigated. This important issue must be addressed as the current pandemic could have the potential to increase the existing gap in lifetime mortality between this group of patients and the background population. The objective of this study was to determine whether a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19. A cross-sectional study was performed between January 18th and February 25th, 2021. Of 7071 eligible patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder, 1355 patients from seven psychiatric centres in the Capital Region of Denmark were screened for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies. A total of 1258 unvaccinated patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 40.5 years (SD 14.6), 54.3% were female. Fifty-nine of the 1258 participants had a positive SARS-CoV-2 antibody test, corresponding to a adjusted seroprevalence of 4.96% (95% CI 3.87–6.35). No significant difference in SARS-CoV-2-risk was found between female and male participants (RR = 1.32; 95% CI 0.79–2.20; p = .290). No significant differences in seroprevalences between schizophrenia and bipolar disease were found (RR = 1.12; 95% CI 0.67–1.87; p = .667). Seroprevalence among 6088 unvaccinated blood donors from the same region and period was 12.24% (95% CI 11.41–13.11). SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among included patients with SMI was significantly lower than among blood donors (RR = 0.41; 95% CI 0.31–0.52; p < .001). Differences in seroprevalences remained significant when adjusting for gender and age, except for those aged 60 years or above. The study is registered at ClinicalTrails.gov (NCT04775407). https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04775407?term=NCT04775407&draw=2&rank=1.

This study aimed to identify potential lateralization of bladder function. Electrical stimulation of spinal roots or the pelvic nerve’s anterior vesical branch was performed bilaterally in female dogs. The percent difference between the left and right stimulation-induced increased detrusor pressure was determined. Bladders were considered left or right-sided if differences were greater or less than 25% or 10%. Based on differences of 25%, upon stimulation of spinal roots, bladders were left-sided in 17/44 (38.6%), right-sided in 12/44 (27.2%) and bilateral in 15/44 (34.2%). Using ± 10%, 48% had left side dominance (n = 21/44), 39% had right side dominance (n = 17/44), and 14% were bilateral (n = 6/44). With stimulation of the pelvic nerve’s anterior vesical branch in 19 dogs, bladders were left-sided in 8 (42.1%), right-sided in 6 (31.6%) and bilateral in 5 (26.3%) using 25% differences and left side dominance in 8 (43%), right sided in 7 (37%) and bilateral in 4 (21%) using 10% differences. These data suggest lateralization of innervation of the female dog bladder with left- and right-sided lateralization occurring at similar rates. Lateralization often varied at different spinal cord levels within the same animal.
Typology, network features and damage response in worldwide urban road systems
Authors: Valenzuela Jesus Felix Bayta , Legara Erika Fille Tupas , Monterola Christopher Pineda
Published: March 2022

We survey the network properties and response to damage sustained of road networks of cities worldwide, using OpenStreetMap (OSM) data. We find that our primary damage response variable t 1 . 0 ¯, which is the average shortest time needed to reach all nodes in a road network (which stand in for locations within a metropolitan area) from an initial node (which stands in for the location of a center for disaster relief operations), is strongly linearly–correlated with pd, the fraction of the road network segments damaged. We find that this result, previously reported for a city’s road network as opposed to grid and scale-free idealizations, is widely present across the road networks we have examined regardless of location. Furthermore, we identify three families of road networks according to their damage response, forming a typology by which we can classify city road networks. Using this typology, we identify the family of road networks which may be of most concern from a humanitarian standpoint. We also find that, of the properties of the road networks we examined, the average shortest path length, 〈lmin〉 and the average node degree, 〈k〉, proxies for city road network size and complexity respectively, are very significantly–correlated with damage susceptibility. In addition to forming a damage response typology by which city road networks could be classified, we consider five cities in detail, looking at risks and previous disaster events. Our results offer a generalizable framework in evaluating the feasibility of coursing relief efforts within disaster–affected areas using land–based transportation methods. They also provide, albeit in retrospect, a glimpse of the time difficulties which occurred, and the stakes of life involved in the humanitarian crisis which developed in the Kathmandu area due to the earthquakes of April and May 2015.

Published: March 2022

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of noncoding RNA whose function involved in various biological processes in neuronal maturation and adipocyte cells, such as differentiation, proliferation, development, apoptosis, and metabolism. Herein, miRNA-Seq was used to identify miRNAs in the tail fat tissue of Hu sheep (short-fat-tailed) and Tibetan sheep (short-thin-tailed). In this study, 155 differentially expression miRNAs (DE miRNAs) were identified, including 78 up-regulated and 77 down-regulated. Among these DE miRNAs, 17 miRNAs were reported and related with lipid metabolism. MiRanda and RNAhybrid software were used to predict the target genes of DE miRNAs, obtaining the number of targeting relationships is 38553. Target genes were enriched by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). 742 terms and 302 single pathways are enriched, including lipid metabolic process, response to lipid, cellular lipid catabolic process, lipid catabolic process, cellular lipid metabolic process, inositol lipid-mediated signaling, calcium channel activity, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction, AMPK signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway and TGF-beta signaling pathway. Notably, miR-379-5p was associated with tail fat deposition of sheep. Dual-Luciferase reporter assays showed miR-379-5p and HOXC9 had targeted relationship. The result of RT-qPCR showed that the expression trend of miR-379-5p and HOXC9 was opposite. miR-379-5p was down-regulated and highly expressed in tail adipose tissue of Tibetan sheep. HOXC9 was highly expressed in adipose tissue of Hu sheep. These results could provide a meaningful theoretical basis for studying the molecular mechanisms of sheep tail adipogenesis.
Organizational evil and the responsibility of management and managerial practices
Authors: Lebouc Marie-France
Published: March 2022

How is it that ordinary people decide to take part in genocides? Philosophers and psychologists have attempted to provide explanations of how genocidal organizations (i.e. set-up to conduct executions) bear on the moral judgement of genocide participants. Here, I resituate those findings
within the field of human resource (HR) management. I highlight how basic principles of management and HR management (selection of personnel, division of labour, reinforcement methods and others) can lead ordinary individuals to judge their participation in a genocide as acceptable. Although
initially only designed to increase motivation and productivity, these techniques also affect individuals’ awareness of ethical issues. Consequently, participants shift their judgements in favour of the genocidal organization, forgetting the victims. Management studies have seldom addressed
the topic of genocide, despite clues in the literature that genocides are organizational in nature. By combining the three fields of management, business ethics and genocide studies within an approach based on transdisciplinary analysis, I hope to show that genocides constitute a legitimate
subject for management studies.
Body and nature: Quest for somatic values, East and West
Authors: Fraleigh Sondra
Published: March 2022

This article is informed by autobiography and embodied research. It views somatic values through lenses of philosophy both East and West, particularly eco-phenomenology, virtue ethics and Zen Buddhism. Nature, as embodied, is the theme, a current imperative of phenomenology and a growing ecological concern in somatic studies. The text conceives intrinsic (experiential) values of somatic processes relative to body and nature. As a somatic practice for the reader to do, it scripts a Dance Map on neutral attention, or suchness in nature, which positions nature as a subjective ideal or virtue in somatic contexts. Photographs and dance/music videos illustrate the article.
Practices of reciprocity and witnessing in more-than-human collectivities
Authors: Burns Laura
Published: March 2022

Through a somatic approach to my ongoing encounter with the River Wyre, Lancashire, I consider land – its material presence and immaterial spirit/ancestral relations – as primary collaborator. I explore the capacity for land to witness and propel human ethics and expression through the porous and influx body. This opens a mode of witnessing which both bears witness to historic trauma (the less visible entanglements of ecocide, femicide and epistemicide), and to more-than-human manifestations (in this case river and stone) that guide an ‘otherwise’ possibility to this colonial violence. Vocal sounding with more-than-human collectivities opens the capacity for the body to be ‘in two places at once’ – one of Silvia Federici’s articulations of witchcraft – and troubles colonial-capitalism’s division of Life and Non-life. The practice expands Kelly Oliver’s definition of witnessing as inter-human ‘response-ability and address-ability’, through addressing – and being addressed by – more-than-human existents.
Stitching soft matter
Authors: Whitehead Simon
Published: March 2022

In this practice, I have been examining an ecology of touch through the filter of post-humanism and Karen Barad’s motive concepts of intra-action, re-turn and diffraction. The practice, inevitably affected by COVID-19, has led to a virtual iteration of the process and the continued development of soft matter during the pandemic has allowed me to reflect on the ghostly traces of touch left in materials and sensed in the body. The resulting soft matter objects will be employed as choreographic scores to wear, think through and move within an inherited field of touch, affect and echoes of ghostly matter.

Authors: Costa Soraia Silva , Mania Taiomara Vieira
Published: March 2022

Resumo: Esta pesquisa buscou revisar a literatura acerca da sedação consciente utilizando midazolam via oral como coadjuvante no tratamento odontológico de crianças não cooperativas. A partir da pergunta norteadora: “O midazolam via oral é uma droga eficaz para a sedação consciente no atendimento odontológico de crianças não cooperativas?”, foi realizada a busca nas bases de dados PubMed e Cochrane Library, seguindo estratégia de combinação de palavras-chave, filtrando artigos do tipo ensaio clínico, em inglês. Seis artigos preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade. As pesquisas analisaram 403 crianças, com faixa etária entre 2 e 10 anos. Percebeu-se substancial heterogeneidade quanto ao uso da droga, sendo a dosagem de 0,5 mg/kg de peso corporal via oral mais frequentemente utilizada. Houve divergência quanto a forma de avaliação do efeito da droga sedativa. Conclui-se que apesar das divergências (relacionadas à via de administração, dosagens e associações medicamentosas), a sedação consciente com midazolam via oral na dosagem 0,5 mg/kg de peso corporal parece ser eficaz como recurso coadjuvante no atendimento odontológico de crianças não cooperativas. Abstract: This research aimed to review the literature on oral midazolam conscious sedation as an adjunct in dental treatment of non-cooperative children. Based on the guiding question: “Is oral midazolam an effective drug for conscious sedation in dental care of non-cooperative children?” it was performed in search of PubMed and Cochrane Library databases, following a strategy of combination of keywords, filtering clinical trial articles in English. Six articles met the eligibility criteria. The surveys analyzed 403 children, aged between 2 and 10 years. Substantial heterogeneity was noticed regarding the drug’s, and the oral dosage 0.5 mg/kg of body weight was the most used. There was divergence regarding the way of evaluating the effect of the sedative drug. It is concluded that, despite the differences (related to the route of administration, dosages and drug associations), conscious sedation with oral midazolam using a dosage of 0.5 mg / kg of body weight seems to be effective as a supporting resource in dental care of non-cooperative children.

Hybrid Fictitious Domain-Immersed Boundary Method in CFD-Based Topology Optimization
Authors: Kubíčková Lucie , Isoz Martin
Published: March 2022

Advances in technological development, especially in 3D printing, allow engineers to design components with almost arbitrary shape and connectivity. Consequently, more and more attention is being directed towards a highly-specialized application-driven component design based on topology optimization (TO). In the present work, we propose a methodology enabling TO of components in contact with flowing fluids. In particular, the optimization itself is based on multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) with the component geometry encoded using a binary representation. The optimization criteria are evaluated via computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The main novelty of the proposed TO framework lies in its robustness and effectiveness achieved by utilizing a single computational mesh for all the tested designs and projecting the specific components shapes onto it by the means of an immersed boundary method. The new methodology capabilities are illustrated on a shape optimization of a diffuser equipped as a part of an ejector. The optimization goal was to increase the ejector energy efficiency. The newly proposed methodology was able to identify a design by roughly 9 % more efficient than an alternative one found utilizing a previously published and less general optimization approach.
Effect of Cylinder Roughness on Strouhal Number
Authors: Yanovych V. , Duda D. , Uruba V. , Procházka P. , Antoš P.
Published: March 2022

The main goal of this paper is to establish a better understanding of the relationship between a Strouhal number and surface roughness. Hot-wire anemometry was used to evaluations the characteristics of turbulent flow behind circular cylinders with different relative roughness 0% (smooth surface) 0.83%, 1.67%, 3.33%, and 6.67%. At the experimental investigation, the Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was 5 × 103 < Red < 2 × 104. The obtained data showed that the Strouhal number decreased with increasing roughness. While, the dissipation rate decreases, and the value of the Kolmogorov and Taylor microscales increases. Also, spectral analysis of streamwise velocity fluctuations allowed us to estimate the location of the vortex-shedding frequency which at growing roughness tends to reduce.

Reactivating underpopulated areas through participatory architecture in southern Italy by creating a home for newcomers
Authors: Denicke-Polcher Sandra , Donnellan Caroline
Published: March 2022

Crossing Cultures is a university-based research initiative that is part of London Metropolitan’s Centre for Urban and Built Ecologies (CUBE) which aims to develop a new pedagogical model. The focus is to provide an inclusive learning environment that facilitates intercultural relationships and group learning, equipping students with essential skills for a globally connected world beyond the subject of architecture. We have paired the design studio activities in London with a field experience of live engagement in southern Italy, in a region suffering from depopulation, while simultaneously experiencing the arrival of asylum seekers. The confluence of these opposing developments creates a need to rebuild local communities and presents an exceptional opportunity for our students to become agents of change. The article outlines how, through the creation of an additional teaching and learning platform for multi-disciplinary research outside the boundaries of the university campus, this teaching practice is raising social capital by attracting and integrating students and asylum seekers alike, adding to population and economic growth. The article concludes by highlighting the unique opportunity to scale up this hybrid studio/field study model, which has arisen because of the COVID-19 pandemic. What is proposed is that now, as universities are developing blended learning delivery models, our observations could feed into a new, expansive model for studying architecture as a student-in-residence mode of study.
Retrospectively evidencing research impact using online data mining
Authors: White Chris D. , Phillips Anthony , Sajonia-Coburgo-Gotha Beltran
Published: March 2022

Higher education institutions in the UK and elsewhere are under increasing pressure to measure the impact of their research, which can include how the research has increased scientific engagement among the general public. For various reasons, the need for evidence can arise months, or even years, after a particular research discovery has been made. Furthermore, the right kind of evidence is needed to indicate genuine changes in behaviour, knowledge or attitudes among a given target audience, which can be difficult to obtain after time has passed. In this article, we present a number of strategies for retrospective evidencing of ‘what happened and who cared’, illustrating their use to measure public engagement with example discoveries from up to five years ago.
Musikvermittlung and Its Innovative Potential
Authors: Chaker Sarah , Petri-Preis Axel
Published: March 2022

In their introductory article, Sarah Chaker and Axel Petri-Preis aim to contextualise the volume by providing terminological, historical and current sociological approaches to Musikvermittlung. Among other things, they show that the term Musikvermittlung is deeply rooted in German music education and discuss the problems of finding an adequate English translation for the international scientific community. Furthermore, the authors trace the increasing institutionalisation and professionalisation of practices of Musikvermittung and analyse their current significance from the perspective of cultural policy. Finally, they argue that Musikvermittlung has the inherent innovative potential to function as a social bridge builder: through music, people who otherwise would not have met, due to their different social and cultural backgrounds, are brought together and invited to interact with each other. This is how practitioners of Musikvermittlung are »doing universality« in the sense of Andreas Reckwitz (2020), thereby providing »a counterweight to the omnipresent act of doing singularity« (ibid.: 441) in contemporary societies.
Practical Intelligence and the Limitations of Practitioners
Authors: Zembylas Tasos
Published: March 2022

In his contribution, Tasos Zembylas focuses on the practical dimension of Musikvermittlung. This includes the resources in concrete situations as well as the professional experiences and skills of practitioners. In this context, »knowledge« in its broader meaning plays a pivotal role, since Musikvermittlung as a practice implies both: »knowledge« and »knowing«. It necessarily involves propositional knowledge, e.g. a broad historical and musicological knowledge, but also requires a practical understanding of musical creation and performance, as well as a knowledge of how to stimulate emotions and imagination in order to address, motivate and support interaction between people who participate in activities of Musikvermittlung.
Brokering Development?
Authors: Ires Idil
Published: March 2022

Recent portrayals of the private sector as the engine of poverty alleviation in Africa's agricultural growth corridors have sparked critique by scholars and activists alike. Land acquisitions by investors are the most criticized, but the private sector engages in corridors in other ways, on which research remains scarce. Idil Ires provides a political economy analysis of whether smallholders prosper when they coordinate with input suppliers, banks, and crop buyers through markets and contract farming in the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania. This book will appeal to scholars and practitioners from diverse fields, offering timely insights into a critical debate.

Ich möchte in diesem Aufsatz genauer erkunden, welche Arten von Pädagogik heute denkbar sind. Oder, um es genauer zu sagen: Inwiefern lässt sich Bildung - auf einer metatheoretischen Ebene - in Hinblick auf den potentiellen Gebrauch der entsprechenden Pädagogik theoretisieren? Mein Fokus liegt dabei natürlich auf einer Theoretisierung von Bildung, die man als »postkritisch« bezeichnen könnte. Mein Ziel ist also, eine Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Arten der Theoretisierung von Bildung zu untersuchen, aber dabei hoffe ich zugleich, dem, was wir als »postkritisch« bezeichnet haben, etwas mehr Klarheit und Substanz abzugewinnen. Im Kern besagt diese Erzählung, dass wir zwischen drei Typen von Bildungstheorien - nämlich technischen, kritischen und affirmativen/ performativen - unterscheiden können und dass jede dieser Typen einen unterschiedlichen Zugang zum Pädagogischen nahelegt.

Chancen und Risiken der Digitalisierung für Dorfläden: Corona-Pandemie als Katalysator?
Authors: Eberhardt Winfried , Küpper Patrick , Seel Matthias
Published: March 2022

The Corona crisis offers the window of opportunity to accelerate digitization processes in food retailing. Village shops and rural consumers are traditionally not considered to be digitization pioneers. The research question is: How do the Corona pandemic and digital transformation affect village shops andtheir customers? For answering this question, we present findings of a two-wave household survey in six case study areas as well as results from qualitative interviews with operators of twelve village shops and ten experts. The experiences in theCorona crisis demonstrate the high resilience of the village shops due to increased local demand and flexible adaptation strategies. The contribution of digitization remains limited, even though this transformation is taking place evolutionary in the village shops using trial and error. One danger for village shops is that consumers tend to buy more online due to Corona. Purchasing power outflows in online retail make shop closings more likely, which in turn leads to more online shopping as a coping strategy for consumers when there is no local supply. Thus, we are adding a critical perspective to the discussion on smart villages by not only emphasizing the new digital possibilities, but also by clarifying the risks.

Pelaksanaan penegakan hukum/penertiban pemanfaatan ruang saat ini memiliki kecenderungan berhenti pada temuan adanya indikasi pelanggaran pemanfaatan ruang. Pengenaan sanksi yang merupakan hasil rekomendasi audit tata ruang masih jarang dilaksanakan. Hal tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa penegakan hukum di bidang penataan ruang masih belum optimal. Di sisi lain, muncul tantangan baru pelaksanaan penertiban pemanfaatan ruang pasca penetapan Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja (UUCK) di tahun 2020. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukenali permasalahan pelaksanaan penertiban pemanfaatan ruang untuk kemudian merumuskan strategi penguatan pelaksanaan penertiban pemanfaatan ruang pasca ditetapkannya UUCK. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode desk study yang mengutamakan content analysis. Content analysis dilakukan terhadap regulasi penertiban pemanfaatan ruang dan salah satu laporan hasil audit tata ruang. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data indikasi pelanggaran pemanfaatan ruang dari hasil audit dan pelaksanaan tindaklanjutnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan penertiban pemanfaatan ruang tidak efektif. Ketidakefektifan tersebut disebabkan oleh (a) muatan dalam regulasi belum sepenuhnya bisa operasional; (b) pelaksanaan pengawasan di lapangan terbatas; (c) peran masyarakat dalam pengawasan adanya pelanggaran terhadap tata ruang belum optimal; (d) fungsi koordinasi antar organisasi perangkat daerah dalam peran masing-masing belum maksimal dilakukan; dan (e) kondisi dan status PPNS yang belum kuat. Ketidakefektifan tersebut dapat di atasi dengan strategi kebijakan penertiban pemanfaatan ruang yang berupa penguatan regulasi, penguatan sumberdaya manusia, penataan kelembagaan, dan pengalokasian anggaran yang memadai.

Banyak penelitian telah dilakukan untuk menyelidiki penyebaran pandemi COVID-19. Salah satu fokusnya adalah pengaruh indikator pembangunan pada skala kewilayahan, terhadap jumlah terkonfirmasi COVID-19 maupun tingkat mortalitas. Studi sebelumnya sejauh ini banyak dilakukan di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat, dengan hasil yang bervariasi. Sebagai contoh, masyarakat dengan tingkat sosial ekonomi yang tinggi memiliki jumlah kasus terkonfirmasi yang lebih besar, ataupun sebaliknya.  Sehubungan dengan variasi hasil penelitian sebelumnya dan kurangnya penelitian serupa untuk konteks Indonesia, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi untuk mengungkapkan kondisi empiris hubungan indikator pembangunan pada konteks Indonesia, dengan jumlah terkonfirmasi COVID-19. Studi kasus yang digunakan adalah kota dan kabupaten di Provinsi Jawa Barat dan Provinsi Banten. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan statistik deskriptif yang dikombinasikan dengan regresi berganda sebagai teknik analisis. Regresi berganda dilakukan dengan menggunakan jumlah kasus terkonfirmasi COVID-19 di setiap kota dan kabupaten (y) terhadap dua puluh variabel yang merupakan indikator pembangunan wilayah, yang terkait dengan urbanisasi, struktur demografi, pembangunan dari aspek ekonomi, spasial, dan aspek pembangunan manusia (x). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat ketimpangan pembangunan antar kota dan kabupaten di Provinsi Jawa Barat dan Banten. Secara umum, kota berada pada tingkat pembangunan yang lebih baik. Selanjutnya, jumlah penduduk usia lanjut dan garis kemiskinan wilayah merupakan dua variabel yang berpengaruh pada jumlah kasus terkonfirmasi COVID-19 di kota dan kabupaten dalam wilayah administrasi Provinsi Jawa Barat dan Banten.
OPTIMALISASI PENGELOLAAN RUSUNAWA DI KOTA SEMARANG

Rusunawa merupakah salah satu program untuk mengatasi permasalahan keterbatasan lahan dan ketidakmampuan MBR untuk menjangkau fasilitas hunian. Seiring dengan pembangunan rusunawa saat ini, terdapat beberapa permasalahan pasca pembangunan, salah satunya tentang pengelolaannya. Pengelolaan rusunawa di Kota Semarang secara umum sudah tidak sesuai lagi dengan tujuan penyediaan rusunawa, yaitu memberikan hunian yang layak, sehat, dan terjangkau untuk MBR. Ketidaksesuaian tersebut antara lain kondisi bangunan mulai rusak, kualitas lingkungan menurun dan terdapat pelanggaran terhadap sistem sewa maupun pemanfaatan bangunan. Salah satu faktor terjadinya permasalahan ketidaksesuaian tersebut yaitu belum optimalnya pengelola dalam menjalankan peran dan fungsinya. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis optimalisasi pengelolaan rusunawa di Kota Semarang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis skoring pembobotan. Responden pada penelitian ini berjumlah 28 yang merupakan ketua paguyuban pengelola rusunawa di Kota Semarang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan rusunawa di Kota Semarang masih belum optimal berdasarkan peran dan fungsi masing-masing pengelola. Skor optimalisasi yang diperoleh yaitu Paguyuban (7,7), Disperkim (7,4), dan UPTD (6,4). Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan pengelolaan terhadap penghuni dan hunian rusunawa seperti (1) pemeliharaan dan perbaikan fasilitas, monitoring dan evaluasi target capaian pengelolaan, serta pembinaan dan pengawasan terkait kebersihan lingkungan oleh Disperkim; (2) Melakukan pembinaan terhadap penghuni dan hunian, menjalankan prosedur pengelolaan dan monitoring untuk mengurangi pelanggaran tata tertib oleh UPTD; (3) Melakukan pengorganisasian paguyuban dalam pengoperasionalan rusunawa agar memudahkan koordinasi antarpihak dalam mengatasi permasalahan dan meningkatkan kualitas rusunawa.
barriers analysis of supply chain management during COVID-19 Pandemic in Indian Industries
Authors: Gupta Srikant
Published: March 2022

In today's supply chain, information sharing and accountability for goods is critical, accordingly to the principles of fiscal, environmental and social security, which have been also concentrating on in recent years, prioritize business process openness. The economic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak and prevention strategies incorporate factors such as supply and demand shocks as a result of COVID-19. This paper investigates the sensitivity of the supply chain to the unfolding pandemic crisis by identifying the five main barriers for Indian manufacturing industries in the new COVID-19 time by employing a hierarchical approach, based on multi-criteria analysis. A hierarchical process-based multi-criteria approach has been used to evaluate COVID-19 influence and prioritized by Entropy and TOPSIS technique. The findings shows that local law enforcement obtained the highest weights among all the supply chain barriers operations in the COVID-19 time, and among the industries, airline, hotel, and automobile sectors have been most affected by the global crisis. The obtained findings will provide the strategic outputs for decision-makers to strengthen the supply chain following COVID-19 protocols.
Incidence moments: a simple method to study the memory and short term forecast of the COVID-19 incidence time-series
Authors: Canals L Mauricio , Canals C Andrea , Cuadrado N Cristóbal
Published: March 2022

Objectives

The ability to predict COVID-19 dynamic has been very low, reflected in unexpected changes in the number of cases in different settings. Here the objective was to study the temporal memory of the reported daily incidence time series and propose a simple model for short-term forecast of the incidence.

Methods

We propose a new concept called incidence moments that allows exploring the memory of the reported incidence time series, based on successive products of the incidence and the reproductive number that allow a short term forecast of the future incidence. We studied the correlation between the predictions of and the reported incidence determining the best predictor. We compared the predictions and observed COVID-19 incidences with the mean arctangent absolute percentage error (MAAPE) analyses for the world, 43 countries and for Chile and its regions.

Results

The best predictor was the third moment of incidence, determining a short temporal prediction window of 15 days. After 15 days the absolute percentage error of the prediction increases significantly. The method perform better for larger populations and presents distortions in contexts of abrupt changes in incidence.

Conclusions

The epidemic dynamics of COVID 19 had a very short prediction window, probably associated with an intrinsic chaotic behavior of its dynamics. The incident moment modeling approach could be useful as a tool whose simplicity is appealing, since it allows rapid implementation in different settings, even with limited epidemiological technical capabilities and without requiring a large amount of computational data.

{p>1}

and

p

{p<1}

,

p

{p\neq 0}

, have been covered. Moreover, in the case of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, the refinement has also been proved
and, as a special case, a g-analogue of a geometric-logarithmic-arithmetic inequality has been deduced.

Authors: Fresneda-Portillo Carlos
Published: March 2022

The Robin problem for the diffusion equation in non-homogeneous media partial differential equation is reduced to a system of direct segregated parametrix-based Boundary-Domain Integral Equations (BDIEs). We use a parametrix different from the one applied by Chkadua, Mikhailov, Natroshvili.
in [4].
We prove the equivalence between the original BVP and the corresponding BDIE system. The invertibility and Fredholm properties of the boundary-domain integral operators are also analysed.
