Authors: ÖZTÜRK BİRİM Şule
Published: June 2022

Çevrimiçi moda sektörü son yıllarda hızlı bir şekilde büyümektedir. Bu sektörde yer alan moda ürünü görselleri miktarı da sürekli artış göstermektedir. Ürünleri tanımlama ve sınıflandırma yeteneğine sahip bir sistem, görsellere otomatik etiket eklenmesini sağlayarak hızlı erişime olanak verdiği gibi çalışanların iş yükünü de hafifletebilir. Ayrıca moda sınıflandırma sistemi müşterilerin beğenisine dayalı ürünler sunmada kullanılabilir. Büyük miktarlardaki görseli işleyebilmek için ise yüksek performanslı algoritmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Son yıllarda derin öğrenme uygulamalarından Evrişimsel Sinir Ağları (CNN) görüntü analizinde başarısı ile ön plana çıkmaktadır. Literatürde bir çok CNN mimarisi yer almakla birlikte, sınıflandırma doğruluğunu arttıracak yeni CNN mimarilerine olan ihtiyaç artan görsel verisi ile birlikte devam etmektedir. Bu çalışma, 10 sınıfa ayrılmış moda ürünü görselleri içeren Fashion-MNIST veri setini kullanarak farklı CNN mimarileri önermektedir. Önerilen mimarilerle amaç L2 ve Dropout düzenleyici yöntemlerin tahmin başarısına olan etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu sayede, verileri daha iyi sınıflandıran CNN modeli araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada önerilen mimariler; temel CNN, L2 düzenleyici ile CNN, Dropout düzenleyici ile CNN ve son olarak her iki düzenleyiciyi içeren CNN modelleridir. Her iki düzenleyici yöntem de ağ ezberlemeyi azaltmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Dropout içeren CNN mimarisi %94.3 doğruluk (accuracy) değeri ile en iyi performansı sunan model olmuştur.

PrObjective This study aimed to explore the potential mechanism of Gegen Qinlian Decoction in the treatment of radiation enteritis by means of network pharmacology. Methods The Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform was used to search the active ingredients and targets of Gegen Qinlian Decoction, and the relevant targets of radiation enteritis were searched online through the GeneCards and OMIM databases. Cytoscape 3.7.0 software was used to construct the interaction network of “Gegen Qinlian Decoction-active ingredient-radiation enteritis-target,” and the PPI visualization network diagram of the interaction between target and protein was drawn through STRING database analysis. R language was used to analyze the intersection of drug targets and disease targets to enrich the GO and KEGG pathways of core target genes. Results The search results obtained 146 effective active ingredients of Gegen Qinlian Decoction, including formononetin, β-sitosterol, 3'-methoxydaidzein, acacetin, 5,8,2'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone, berberine, epiberberine, isorhamnetin, formononetin, kaempferol, and naringenin. The PPI network contained 101 nodes and 399 edges. The biological functions involved in GO enrichment analysis included nuclear receptor activity, ligand-activated transcription factor activity, ubiquitin-like protein ligase binding, DNA binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II specific signaling, steroid hormone receptor activity, ubiquitin protein ligase binding, and activation transcription factor binding. The biological pathways and processes involved in KEGG included lipids and atherosclerosis, chemical carcinogenesis-receptor activation, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes virus infection, and apoptosis, TNF signaling pathway, and IL-17 signaling pathway. Conclusion The effective active ingredients in Gegen Qinlian Decoction treat radiation enteritis through multiple targets and pathways. This work provides a theoretical basis for further research on the effect and mechanism of Gegen Qinlian Decoction on radiation enteritis.
The Effect of Azimuth Thruster on the Manoeuvring Ability of a Stern Trawler in Rough Weather Conditions
Authors: SARIÖZ Kadir , GÖREN Ömer , KINACI Ömer Kemal , SULUS Aydin
Published: June 2022

The results of computational analyses on the manoeuvring performance of a stern trawler with an azimuth thruster located in the forward part of the vessel are presented. The initial design of the vessel with a single shaft, propeller and rudder is considered to have insufficient manoeuvring performance with a trawl pull load of 40 tons in moderate environmental conditions with a forward speed of 3 knots. The modified design is equipped with an azimuth thruster located in the forward part of the vessel that can rotate 360 degrees to produce additional thrust. In order to assess and simulate the manoeuvring performance of the vessel, the surge, sway and yaw equations are set and solved in the time domain. The hydrodynamic forces due to surge and sway motions and the yaw moment are represented by a nonlinear modular mathematical model. The manoeuvring coefficients of the mathematical model employed are estimated by two distinct approaches; the first one is based on semi-empirical methods and the other is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The external forces due to wind, current and waves are mathematically represented by proven semi-empirical methods based on the results of scaled model tests and full-scale measurements. A comprehensive computational test matrix is established and extensive computational analyses and manoeuvring simulations were carried out to indicate that an azimuth thruster with sufficient thrust located in the forward part of a stern trawler could significantly improve the manoeuvring performance of the vessel despite adverse environmental conditions.

Published: June 2022

The paper deals with the possibilities of using the Memsource system as the main component of a cloud-based learning environment for training translators. The main advantages of Memsource in the educational process are identified: accessibility through the offer of a demo and an academic programme, easy for mastering, the user-friendly interface, a wide functional range. Experimental training of students in groups for translation projects with mastery of the tasks of team members of different statuses was carried out. Students' evaluation of the functionality of the Memsource system was analysed in terms of learning effectiveness and application in their future professional life. It is proved that the cloud environment formed through the Memsource platform helps future translators to master the tools and resources needed to systematically carry out the full range of translation project operations. The feasibility of basing a cloud-based learning environment for translators on the Memsource system has been established. It has been experimentally proven that the creation of a cloud environment will optimise the structure and components of translation projects in the training process of higher education institutions that train translators.

Published: June 2022

Probiotic use is one major approach to eliminating waste accumulation in shrimp farming. This study investigated the effects of probiotic use on the abundance and diversity of phytoplankton at the farm level. The results revealed 4 divisions for 12 genera of phytoplankton, consisting of Cyanophyta (Oscillatoria sp., Pseudanabaena sp., Planktolyngbya sp. and Merismopedia sp.), Chlorophyta (Scenedesmus sp. and Monorapidium sp.), Bacillariophyceae (Nitzschia sp., Pleurosigma/Gyrosigma sp. and Navicula sp.) and Pyrrophyta (Protoperidinium sp., Ceratium sp. and Prorocentrum sp.). Pyrrophyta exhibited the highest density, followed by Cyanophyta, Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta. The cell density of 4 divisions was high at the start rearing e.g., Pyrrophyta 47,991 cells/L (85%), Cyanophyta 3,141 cells/L (5%), Bacillariophyta 3,530 cells/L (6%), and Chlorophyta 1,965 cells/L (3%). However, the density drastically changed at the end of the study in 19 days, especially in Pyrrophyta, for which cell density dropped to 4,705 cells/L (48%). The density of Cyanophyta increased towards day 7 and decreased at the end of the study (2,126 cells/L, 22%). The density of Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophyta were reduced in the initial cultivation from day 1 to day 10 but increased again before the end of the study for 1,176 cells/L (12%) and 1,698 cells/L (18%). The research indicates that adding probiotics to shrimp ponds can affect the abundance of the phytoplankton community. Probiotics can reduce an abundance of Pyrrophyta and Cyanophyta (biotoxin producing group.), while they show a trend to increase an abundance of Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta.

Published: June 2022

Cup lumps are raw materials used in block rubber production and commonly contain adulterants among the chemicals used for rubber coagulation. This study aimed to identify the composition and concentration of components in commercial coagulants for producing cup lumps in the Northeastern and Northern regions of Thailand. A further goal was to study the impact of using these cup lumps to make block rubber. Detection of coagulant concentration by ion chromatography found that 25% of the samples were composed of formate ions and 50% of the samples were composed of sulfate ions ranging from 17.89 to 93.46% and 36.17 to 97.74% by weight, respectively. Among the adulterated coagulants, they were mixed with formate ions and chloride ions in 18.75% of the samples and sulfate ions mixed with chloride ions in 6.25% of the samples. Additionally, block rubber containing adulterants had Po, PRI, and Mooney viscosity values that meet the lower grade STR 20 standard. Block rubber made from cup lumps coagulated using formic acid showed physical properties that met the STR 5 standard.

Authors: Maneelok Supandee , S. Attidekou Pierrot
Published: June 2022

Nickel-antimony doped tin oxide (NATO) catalyst has greatly considered its capability to treat high organic matter and eliminate colour in wastewater as palm oil mill wastewater with electrochemical ozone generation. This study presents the optimal Ni content of NATO and its properties to enhance ozone generation. The NATO anodes were fabricated by dip-coating, varying the Ni content between 0.5% and 5%. The key findings show that all anodes showed a single phase of rutile structure with the cracked mud on the surface. The binding energies of the Sb3d3/2 peak at 540.48 eV and 541.58 eV agree with Sb3+ and Sb5+, respectively. The optimal ozone current efficiency of 37% at the current density of ca. 0.22 A cm-2 in   0.5 M H2SO4 at 2.7V was obtained on the NATO anode with 2% Ni content calcined at 700 oC. The palm oil mill wastewater treatment result showed that decolourisation TOC and COD removal efficiency increased with increasing electrolysis time. The colour removal efficiency achieved was more than 85% for a reaction time of 15 min. The efficiency of TOC and COD removal was reached ca. 80% in 20 min. The overall results appeared that NATO with electrochemical ozone generation could be employed to treat palm oil mill wastewater with high efficiency due to •OH and O3.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge level of nursing students on the practices of hand hygiene in light of the increasing rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and to form the basis of the training program planned to be conducted about hand hygiene. Methods: The research was carried out in the Department of Nursing of a School of Health. A questionnaire consisting of 45 questions was used to collect the data. The questionnaire form consisted of two parts: the “Participant Information Form” and “Hand Hygiene Knowledge Evaluation Form”. The “questionnaire form included questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the students and their hand hygiene knowledge. Results: A total of 195 volunteers, whose mean age was 20.21±2.81 years and 150 (76.9%) of whom were female, participated in the study. Of the participants 98.5% stated that they heard about the concept of hand hygiene, 79% received hand hygiene training, and 73.8% stated that they received this training at school. It was determined that 96.9% preferred water and soap for hand hygiene. The proposition that the participants answered incorrectly at the highest rate was the question "Hand hygiene should be provided before putting on gloves". This question was seen to be answered incorrectly by 39.5% of the participants. "Wearing gloves replaces hand hygiene" was the second most frequently incorrectly answered proposition. Among the reasons why the participants did not /could not provide hand hygiene, the most common reason was found to be insufficient number of sinks and the fact that antiseptic soaps/hand disinfectants cause irritation. Conclusion: Nursing students can be given training on effective hand hygiene before they start the profession.

Değerler, içinde yaşanılan toplumun maddi manevi kültürel olgularını kapsayan ve toplumu ideal olana yönlendiren niteliklerdir. Toplumsal kültürün esasını oluşturan bu nitelikler adeta toplumda sosyal kontrolü sağlamakla görevli kılınmışlardır. Birlik ve beraberlik içerisinde sürekliliğini sağlamak isteyen toplumlar barındırdıkları bu değerleri gelecek nesillere aktarmak durumundadırlar. Böylece toplumdaki değerler mekanizmasının işlerliği kazandırılarak toplumun daha yaşanabilir bir hale getirilmesi ilk hedeftir. Bu toplumsal aktarımda ve hedefte Türk halk edebiyatının mahsullerinden olan efsaneye büyük rol düşmektedir. Efsanelerin gerek gerçeklikle olan ilişkisi gerekse eğitsel ileti yönü efsaneleri geçmişten günümüze kültür taşıyıcısı konumuna getirmektedir. Nitekim efsaneler toplumun aynası, bizi biz yapan değerlerin yansıtıcısıdır. Tarihsel süreç içerisinde toplum hafızasına kazınan efsaneleşmiş hikâyeler, değerleri içselleştirerek toplumun uzantıları haline gelmişlerdir. Türk toplum eğitiminin devamlılığını ve işlevselliğini sürdürmek için kısa ve yoğun öğretilere sahip değerli bir kaynak olan efsanelerimize gereken önemi vermek gerekmektedir. Günümüz Türkiye’sinde de bu değerlerin eksikliği hissedilmeye başlanmıştır. Biz de bu çalışmamızda Isparta yöresinden derlenen efsaneleri eğitsel iletiler ve değerler eğitimi açısından incelemeye çalıştık.

Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer in higher plants
Authors: Roy Subhas Chandra
Published: June 2022

The genetic engineering of plants actually started with the discovery of a pathogenic bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, causing a disease known as crown gall (tumor). The bacterium transfers a set of genes from its plasmid into infected plant cells, where the transferred genes are expressed and produced gall at the junction of root and stem (i.e., crown region of the plant). This discovery has revolutionized the plant transformation method through which any gene can be introduced into plant genome to change their genetic make-up for commercial benefits, spaning from disease resistance to the production of pharmaceutically important proteins.

Classification and categorization of water basins is essential in sustainable growth, planning and management. Implementing the modern strategic techniques over a wider area needs huge resources and proper planning. Hence, morphometric analysis can be used as necessary tool for prioritizing sub- watersheds in the present study. The study area encompasses 265 sq. km, which is divided into nine sub-basins, specifically Bannur (W-1), Conimarur (W-2), Hampapura (W-3), Harohalli (W-4), Kaneyar (W-6), Konanuru (W-7), Saraguru (W-8), and Torenuru (W-9) ranging from 8 to 64 km2. The Survey of Indian toposheets and Digital Terrain Model are utilized to explain the drainage characteristics. The study reveals dendritic stream arrangement of fourth to fifth order. The density of drainage ranged between 1.03 to 1.32 km/km2, suggesting that the drainage texture was coarse to moderate, but low infiltration and high runoff. The change in stream length ratio over time implies that geomorphological progress is approaching its end. The bifurcation ratios range from 0.5 to 2.58, indicating that the region has good lithological control over the stream system and whole sub-watersheds are classified as "normal”. The form factor and circulatory ratio suggest elongated to circular sub-watersheds. Thus, the results of this analysis would be useful for the basin management planning and groundwater development.

The Mauranipur region is situated along the central part of the Bundelkhand Craton (BuC) in the northern Indian shield, which consists of garnet- biotite gneisses with various deformational structures in the form of folding, faulting, augen and tail structures. These deformation structures are tectonic imprints that reveal the tectonic nature of the garnet-biotite gneisses. The groundmass of Grt-Bt gneisses is characterized by presence of garnet, biotite, plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz, and ilmenite. The phase equilibrium modelling and geochemical attributes depict the tectonic activity and metamorphic evolution of the studied rocks. The P-T pseudosection has been calculated in the NCKFMASHT system, which revealed that the peak mineral assemblage stabilized in the P-T range of 6.35–6.75 kbar and 755–780ºC, and it further goes to retrograde metamorphism under P-T condition ranging from 4.80–5.28 kbar and 718–735ºC. These gneisses represent a calc-alkaline to high-K calc-alkaline series of protolithic origin. The negative anomaly of Nb and Ti for all samples indicates that a subduction tectonic setting has occurred in the BuC. The (La/Lu)N ratio and differences in the trace elements indicate heterogeneous sources and large variation in the degree of partial melting. The Y vs Nb and (Y+Nb) vs Rb tectonic discrimination diagrams indicate that the Grt-Bt gneisses have an affinity towards the volcanic arc granite and developed during subduction setting. The geochemical interpretation provides significant evidence that protoliths of Grt-Bt gneisses were further metamorphosed by the continent-continent collision.

The Sargur Group of rocks belonging to the Kalyadi Schist Belt (KSB) in the Western Dharwar Craton (WDC) occur as large linear enclaves within younger peninsular gneisses. This belt is known for copper mineralization and exploited good amount of copper for many years. Recent studies have shown significant concentration of cobalt up to 2000 ppm associated with copper in this belt. Earlier studies have indicated pyrite containing cobalt in its crystal lattice. In the present study an attempt has been made to understand the genesis of cobalt mineralization in this belt through detailed petrography, fluid inclusion studies along with chlorite chemistry. Two distinct ore mineral assemblages and fluid sources are proposed based on ore petrography, mineral chemistry and fluid inclusion studies. In the initial stage chalcopyrite1 is associated with cobalt bearing pyrite and magnetite and in the later stage chalcopyrite2 is associated with arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and safflorite [(Co, As) As2]. The initial stage fluids are characterized by low saline (~ 5 wt % NaCl equivalent) and slightly higher temperature (268° to 300° C with pressure ranging from 1.9 to 2.3 Kb), which are almost similar to temperatures obtained from the chlorite i.e. 202.8° to 322.43° C, this indicates that the fluids are related to regional low grade greenschist facies metamorphism. On the contrary, the late stage fluids are characterized by high density and high saline nature and show temperature range varying from162° to 224° C with pressure values ranging from 1.4 to 1.9 Kb and in addition native Bi association suggest their derivation from the granitic or felsic magmatic source associated with emplacement of the Desani Granite in the study area. Presence of safflorite mineral associated with the second stage fluids and mineral assemblage suggest that the remobilization Co from the crystal lattice of pyrite and chalcopyrite has occurred.

Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques have been shown to be effective tools for geohazard mapping. The Western Ghats of southern India are a classic terrain with a variety of geohazards such as landslides and soil erosion. The current study employs RUSLE methodology in conjunction with remote sensing and GIS to estimate annual soil loss and identify zones of high erosion potential in one of southern India's major tropical river basins, the Chalakkudy River Basin. The resulting map elaborates on the area's annual soil erosion to the tune of 14.7008 t ha1 year1. The map also divides the terrain into zones based on the likelihood of soil erosion. According to the study, approximately 4.70 percent of the total area (67.13 km2) is prone to severe soil erosion, while the remaining 67.13 percent (972.32 km2) is prone to high erosion. Soil erosion prognosis analysis assists decision-makers in developing a proper conservation planning programme to reduce soil erosion. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to identify critical soil erosion- prone areas by integrating geo-environmental variables such as land use/land cover, geomorphology, lithology, drainage density, lineament density, slope, aspect, elevation, LS factor, rainfall, soil texture, and soil depth after determining their relative contribution in conditioning the terrain susceptible to soil erosion. Only 4.70% of the total area is highly prone to soil erosion. Keywords: Remote Sensing, GIS, RUSLE, Soil Erosion, AHP, Chalakkudy

Published: June 2022

The present study focuses on understanding the depositional environment of Jurassic beds of Bela Island, Rann of Kachchh, Gujarat, India which is deduced mainly based on evidence furnished by ostracode fauna. Based on the distribution of 57 ostracode species in Jurassic beds of Bela Island, three biozones, in ascending order, Cytheropteron micropunctata Range Zone (early-middle Bathonian), Progonocythere laeviscula Range Zone (late Bathonian- early Callovian) and Habocythere mouwanaensis Range Zone (early-middle Callovian), have been established. The beds of lowermost Zone were deposited in shallow brackish water environment in the initial phase of marine transgression; the beds of middle zone were deposited at moderate rate of sedimentation in shallow sublittoral environment during the transgressive phase of sedimentary cycle; and the beds of uppermost zone were deposited in the shallow and brackish water condition in regressive phase of sedimentary cycle.

Groundwater is valuable source of drinking water. Groundwater potential in consolidated and unconsolidated sediments varies due to variation in hydraulic parameters of an aquifer. In present study aquifer parameters were assessed by pumping test. Groundwater occurrence and movement in the area is mainly through the Deccan Basalt and/or alluvium. The Deccan Basalt is hydrogeologically very complex, and it may or may not be useful everywhere to tap groundwater. The fractured and weathered basalt behaves as a good aquifer whereas massive basalt doesn't. In the present study, aquifer parameters like Specific Capacity (C), Coefficient of Transmissivity (T) and Storage Coefficient (S) are calculated by conducting pumping test. Majority of the basaltic areas of the watershed is characterized by good to moderate and moderate to poor groundwater potential. Alluvium is representing excellent to good groundwater potential.

E-PARTICIPATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF TOBACCO EXCISE PRODUCTION SHARING FUNDS: AN INITIATION TO STRENGTHEN THE PRINCIPLES OF DECENTRALIZATION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Reny Yemimalina Sinaga Wirawan, Retno Saraswati, Nabitatus Sa’dah,
Published: June 2022

The implementation of the Tobacco Excise Production Sharing Fund (Dana Bagi Hasil Cukai Hasil Tembakau/DBHCHT) still leaves a disharmony between justice and public benefit, considering that even though the revenue from tobacco excise revenue has increased, the allocation has not been able to cover losses in several impovitalas of the state, such as the field of community welfare, law enforcement, and health on the justification for the less control of cigarettes in society on behalf of excise levies on tobacco products. Two main conclusions were drawn based on a normative juridical study with a focusing principle of decentralization. First, there are still several obstacles and challenges in the management of DBHCHT in Indonesia due to the inadequate participation of the stakeholders involved in the implementation of DBHCHT. Second, e-participation, which includes e-information, e-consultation, and e-cooperation, is needed so that the performance of DBHCHT management in Indonesia can run ideally based on the principle of decentralization. Even though the private industry holds the cigarette trade, it is compulsory to transfer the actual CHT as the mandate of decentralization principle in the 1945 Constitution due to the DBHCHT that local governments must accept in carrying out their functions and duties to develop their regions. It is recommended that the central government build an online DBHCHT system, including a website, to accommodate the running of e-participation so that decentralization in the implementation of DBHCHT produces the expected outputs and outcomes.
PUBLIC TEACHER RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION IN INDONESIA: A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE

Published: June 2022

The existence of Law No. 14 of 2005 and some thoughts that take is-sue with the low quality of teachers, one of the causes of which cannot be separated from the impact of the recruitment process and inadequate selection. It is necessary and urgent to conduct normative juridical studies to construct how the process of recruitment and selection of state teachers in Indonesia so that recruitment reconstruction and selection of ideal state teachers are produced in Indonesia. Two conclusions were made based on the knife analysis in the form of agency theory that emphasizes the contractual relationship between the principal and the agent that must reflect the efficient organization. First, the recruitment and selection of prospective state teachers have only been carried out en masse and almost simultaneously. The selection test is carried out by working on multiple-choice questions in which various types of questions are widely sold and can be learned or learned, even traced patterns of the problem. Thus, the correct answer to a question does not correlate with the ability of prospective teachers to carry out their duties and responsibilities later as a teacher who is loved and respected by students and colleagues Second; it is necessary to update the rules related to the recruitment process and selection of prospective state teachers, including by maximizing information technology in knowing the behavior of future teachers in using social media and so on.

Introduction: induction is the knowledge that the person entering should acquire regarding the history of the organization, its structure, marketing and commercial scheme; company policies regarding personnel, hygiene and safety, environment; occupational health programs, quality, culture, mission, values. Objective: to describe the perception of induction in the use of the oncohematologic electronic health record (EHR) for the safe administration of antineoplastic chemotherapy. Methods: descriptive, cross-sectional research; the sample consisted of 55 units of analysis. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as an instrument. Results: there is a statistically significant difference in the perception of organizational culture (p=0,040) and between seniority in the institution with the induction of EHR training (p=0,012), with professional nurses of 1,26±0,44 and for Licensed 1,06±0,24, seniority in the institution ranged in groups of 1-4 years and 5 to 9 years. Cytostatic preparation and seniority in the institution (p=0,020). The group with more than 25 years of seniority in the institution have the responsibility for the preparation of cytostatics 4,90±0,30 (p<0,05). Conclusions: It is not homogeneous how the organizational culture is perceived by the different professional levels. In relation to seniority, the majority are female, graduates and young adults. EHR induction is perceived by professionals as an institutional strategy for patient safety culture. Likewise, EHR practices show that it is used by qualified personnel in the administration of cytostatics

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of climate change (temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and rainy days) on environmental-based diseases (DHF and ARI) in Palu City in 2015-2020. This study uses a quantitative method with an ecological study design. The sampling technique used total sampling where the samples were all cases of DHF and ARI from the Palu City Health Office and climate data from the Mutiara Palu Meteorological Station from 2015-2020. Data analysis using multiple linear regression test. The results of the study for the incidence of DHF showed, partially temperature (0.384 > 0.05), wind speed (0.873 > 0.05), rainfall (0.868 > 0.05). 0.05) and rainy days (0.608 > 0.05) had no effect on the incidence of DHF because the significance value was greater than 0.05. Simultaneously the test results obtained are (0.628 > 0.05), meaning that there is no significant effect between climate change and the incidence of DHF in Palu City because the F test results show a significance value greater than 0.05. The incidence of ARI shows that part there is a significant effect of temperature and humidity on the incidence of ARI with the same significant value (0.00 < 0.05) and positive (+) pattern, and there is a significant effect of wind speed and rainfall on the incidence of ARI with the same significant value (0.00 < 0.05) but with a negative pattern. The conclusion is that there is a significant effect of climate change on the incidence of ARI.

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is one of the contributors to the high morbidity and mortality rates of a toddler. ARIs are mostly suffered by the toddler in developing countries such as Indonesia, where the incidence is always high every year. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between environmental factors and nutritional status with the incidence of ARI in children under five in the Donggala Community Health Center working area. This type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this research was 32,694 toddlers using the Slovin formula and obtained a sample of 100 toddlers. The sampling used was the Probability Sampling technique. The analysis used was Chi-Square. The variables that are significantly related to the incidence of ARI are nutritional status, smoking behavior, house ventilation, and residential density with a p-value < 0.05. Most of the respondents were malnourished, namely, 58%, had a high risk of exposure to cigarette smoke, which was 64%, and the house ventilation area which was included in the not good category was 57% and the residential density was included in the not eligible category at 59%. Prevention efforts to reduce the incidence of ARI in toddlers are by consuming nutritious food, education about house ventilation, and residential density, and increasing awareness of smoking behavior among parents.
