Authors: Hartono Widi , Handayani Dewi
Published: May 2022

Kontraktor di Indonesia dibagi menjadi 3 klasifikasi kontraktor besar, menengan dan kecil. Kontraktor menangan ke bawah terutama kontraktor kecil memiliki banyak keterbatasan yaitu masalah dana, peralatan, teknologi, dan sumber daya manusia. Keterbatasan sumber daya sering ditemui pada kontraktor kecil terutama yang berkaitan dengan keahlian dan ketrampilan. Banyak kontraktor kecil melakukan perekrutan tidak didasarkan pada tenaga kerja yang memiliki keahlian bidang sipil. Hal ini berkaitan dengan keterbatan dana yang digunakan untuk menggaji tenaga kerja. Keahlian dan ketrampilan tenaga yang dimiliki sering kali diberikan langsung saat mengerjakan proyek, sehingga sering kali ditermui permasalah di lapangan karena keterbatasan keahlian. Masalah yang sering muncul adalah masalah pembuatan jadwal pekerjaan yang tidak dilakukan dengan baik. Urutan pekerjaan sering kali hanya mengandalkan intuisi dari seniornya sehingga para yunior tidak begitu memahami apabila ada masalah. PT Insan Pesona Group merupakan salah satu kontraktor yang memiliki klasifikasi usaha kecil sampai menengah juga dihadapkan pada permasalahan tersebut. Untuk itu maka akan direncanakan untuk melakukan pembinaan terhadap perusahaan ini melalui berbagai cara yaitu melakukan pelatihan penjadwalan pada staff atau pegawai dan melakukan pendampingan apabila terdapat permasalahan pada saat membuat penjadwalan. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan pre test terhadap semua karyawan PT Insan Pesona menunjukkan hasil yang tidak bagus. Seleksi peserta pelatihan diperlukan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pelatihan. Jumlah peserta yang banyak akan menambah energi instruktur untuk menyampaikan dan menjelaskan materi Ms Project. Selain itu latar belakang pendidikan yang tidak sesuai juga menambah kesulitan dalam proses pelatihan. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan hasil yang baik dimana ada peningkatan pemahaman dan pengetahui dari karyawan terhadap penjadwalan dan Ms Project. Peningkatan yang paling tinggi terletak pada karyawan yang memiliki latar belakang Pendidikan Teknik Sipil.

Tanaman obat keluarga (disingkat TOGA) adalah tanaman hasil budidaya rumahan yang berkhasiat sebagai obat. Tanaman  lokal  dilengkapi  dengan  senyawa  bioaktif,  kandungan  polifenol  dan aktivitas antioksidan yang bervariasi. Adanya penurunan kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya menyediakan  tanaman  obat  dipekarangan  rumah  mulai  menurun. Pengetahuan akan tanaman  obat  pada  masyarakat  juga  terbatas.  Maka  dari  itu  perlu  adanya  revitalisasi tanaman obat keluarga untuk menyadarkan kembali pentingnya menyediakan tanaman obat  di  lingkungan  rumah  atau  apotek  hidup  yang  bisa  digunakan  untuk  menjaga kesehatan.  Maka  dari  itu  pengabdian  ini  bertujuan  untuk  meningkatkan  kesadaran masyarakat dalam meningkatkan sistem kekebalan tubuh agar terhindar dari virus SARS- CoV-2 melalui revitalisasi tanaman obat keluarga. Berdasarkan hasil survey seluruh kelompok tani sering menggunakan tanaman obat, akan tetapi masih kesulitan untuk mengenali jenis tanaman obat yang bermanfaat bagi tubuh. Pengetahuan masyarakat kelompok tani 73% didapatkan dari nenek moyang/turun menurun. Melalui kegiatan ini juga ditekankan untuk tidak sembarangan dalam mengkonsumsi obat herbal, terutama  jika  tujuannya  untuk  pengobatan.  Tujuan  pengobatan, masyarakat  disarankan tetap  pergi  ke  dokter  untuk  mendapatkan  diagnosa  dan pengobatan dengan dosis yang tepat.

Taking a systems perspective, we ask how the experience and lessons of a specific event at one place and one time, such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, can be systematically and proactively expanded to other places and maintained into future decades, in order that actors anywhere in the world can access and draw on the intense realities of far distant or long past disasters in their own disaster risk reduction efforts. The idea of “memorial,” defined in the broad sense as something “to preserve remembrance,” provides a conceptual basis to underpin such a systematic expansion. The concept of “memorialization” can thus apply not only to physical monuments but also museums, archives, local markers, media tools, myths, anniversaries, conferences, international mechanisms, and legal and institutional tools. This paper briefly examines the role of each of these for supporting disaster risk reduction efforts.

Literature exists on business continuity; however, little exists on the complied experience, especially flood risk. The research also does not cover industrial complex areas using integrated perspectives. Most studies on major business continuity disasters focus on event impacts and the short-term responses and recovery process of enterprises. Some evaluate the underlying causes of vulnerability, but few follow up to evaluate the consequences of the business continuity process because of restrictions on information disclosure regarding these activities. The objective of this study is to improve understanding of the influence that business continuity narratives have had on how decisions and actions are undertaken to continue business after a flood disaster, and what long-term influence this has had, in turn, on the industrial complex area from integrated perspectives, especially applying the lessons learned. This research drew on insights from in-depth studies of Japanese enterprises to maximize the findings based on abundant field data: (1) disaster responses in the flood risk situation; (2) the challenges faced by enterprises in the area before, during and following the 2011 floods; and (3) lessons that led to new consideration for the flood risk in the areas following the 2011 flood. This study identified alternative narratives on the purpose and means of business continuity with implications for flood risk by constructing scenarios for practical use. The findings of this study provide new insights and will improve the performance of business continuity management, both existing and planned, and, ultimately, support more climate-resilient development in this area.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of betel nut extract on the macroscopically and microscopically quality of spermatozoa. Materials and methods were used for 16 male Ettawa goats at the age of 2 years. The preparation of betel nut extract and macroscopic observations of spermatozoa via the use of odors, colors, and volumes, as well as microscopic observations of spermatozoa through the use of mass motion, mass motility, and individual motility. The betel nut extract was administered orally for 15 days. The treatments in this study were T0 (without the provision of betel nut extract), T1 (provision of betel nut extract (90 mg/goat/day)), T2 (provision of betel nut extract (180 mg/goat/day)), T3 (provision of betel nut extract (270 mg/goat/day)). The results showed that the addition of betel nut extract was significantly different than without extracts (P<0.05). The goats without betel nut extract had the lowest quality of spermatozoa, whereas the goats treated with a betel nut extract (270 mg/goat/day) had the highest quality of spermatozoa of all the treatments. There was an increase in spermatozoa in the 10th data collection, including smell, colour, volume, mass motility, and individual motility. Furthermore, male goats were given betel nut extract at a dose of 270 mg/goat/day, which improved spermatozoa quality both macroscopically and microscopically. Subsequently, we assumed that betel nut extract could improve reproductive quality in male goats.

The local native forage sources in Kupang Regency have their own specifications due to different management. This research is aimed at describing socio- cultural characteristics of farmers and the types of plant cultivated on local native forage sources planted in the farms in Kupang Regency. It was conducted in Oeletsala Village, Taebenu Sub-District, Kupang Regency from August 2015 to April 2017. The research method was survey, direct observation and measurement in the field as well as secondary data collection. The data were analyzed descriptively in the form of averages, tables and graphs. The results showed that amarasi farm were more widely distributed than dry mamar and selobua. Most of the farmers were at their productive age, have elementary school education, and 1-4 family members. The background of farming and the reasons for choosing the type of farms were varied. Likewise, the types of plants were also varied. Utilization of the types of plants have experienced a shift from conservation goals to multi-function. In amarasi, dry mamar and selobua farm were found 62, 77 and 53 types of plants. Forage which is commonly used at the farmer level were 13 species dominated by Leucaena leucocephala. While, 23 other commodities were not forage and they were harvested in certain seasons and for household needs. In conclusion, the farmers were at their productive age, with low education, and small family size. The background of establishing the farms and the reasons for choosing the type of farms varied. The types of plants have been shifted from conservation goals to being multi-purposes. The types of plants that were widely developed other than forage are dominated by food crops and horticulture. The three types farms can have a positive impact on feed and food security, source of farmer’s income and land conservation

The Indonesian Navy's Frog Troop Command Soldiers are special personnel designed to deal with difficult situations and special naval warfare missions. The dynamics of forming as a candidate for Kopaska personnel and the pressure of education at the Frog Troop Command School were so heavy that some students were unable to adapt well, stressed and lacked confidence, so they were unable to continue their education. Resilience is the ability of each individual to cope and adapt to problems that occur in life. Resilience is needed by students to be able to survive while carrying out education at the Frog Troop Command School. Several studies have found that resilience can be increased by using a Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the CBT intervention on increasing resilience in the Frog Troop Command School students. The use of the CBT method is expected to be able to increase the resilience of students when under pressure during education at the Frog Troop Command School. Therefore, in order to increase the readiness of students to face the heavy educational pressures and stress that arises during their education at the Frog Troop Command School, it is necessary to know how the use of this CBT method and its effect on them.

Rapid Multiplication of Sugarcane Seedlings of PSJT 941 Variety from Tissue Culture Using Ethephon and Paclobutrazol
Authors: Puspitasari Arinta Rury , Dewi Aprilia Mutia , Winarsih Sri
Published: May 2022

Indonesia's sugar self-sufficiency was targeted since 2014 but the target has not been reached yet. One of the major constraints is the limited healthy seedlings available for new sugarcane area expansion. The mass production of healthy sugarcane seedlings may be achieved by rapid multiplication of tissue culture-derived seedlings using plant growth regulators (PGR) applied in the nursery house. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ethephon and pacloburazol (PBZ) on the growth and seedling multiplication of sugarcane PSJT 941 variety. The research was carried out in the nursery house at Pasuruan Experimental Station, Indonesian Sugarcane Research Center. This study was arranged using a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments included (a) 3.5 ml/l ethephon, (b) 7.0 ml/l ethephon, (c) 1.5 ml/l PBZ, (d) 3.0 ml/l PBZ, and (e) control (without application of neither ethephon nor PBZ). The results showed that the highest number of shoots per clump was obtained from 3.0 ml/l PBZ treatment (8.7 shoots/clump) after 3 months of application. In the contrary, PBZ reduced the plant height compared with control and ethephon. Ethephon and PBZ treatments improved seed multiplication 8–52 times, much higher than the control that produced seed multiplication value six times. Further study is necessary to obtain optimal PBZ concentration for better stem height by decreasing the PBZ inhibition effect on stem growth.
ICHNOLOGY OF MUDDY SHALLOW-WATER CONTOURITES FROM THE UPPER JURASSIC–LOWER CRETACEOUS VACA MUERTA FORMATION, ARGENTINA: IMPLICATIONS FOR TRACE-FOSSIL MODELS

Contourites are increasingly being recognized in ancient fine-grained depositional environments. However, detailed ichnologic analyses focusing on shallow-water examples of these deposits are scarce. The Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous Vaca Muerta Formation from Argentina constitutes an important unconventional reservoir that displays dm- to m-thick, laminated, rippled and bioturbated, crinoidal mudstone and fine to coarse mudstone deposited by wind- and thermohaline-driven contour currents. Four ichnofabrics were recognized in three facies associations. The Palaeophycus heberti ichnofabric is dominant in facies association 1, forming highly bioturbated intervals. The Palaeophycus heberti, Nereites isp., and Phycosiphon incertum ichnofabrics are present in facies association 2, displaying highly, moderately and sparsely bioturbated intervals, respectively. This association is locally characterized by m-thick successions comprising an upward decrease and then increase in bioturbation index, which may have a similar origin to bigradational sequences. The Equilibrichnia-Fugichnia ichnofabric mostly occurs in facies association 3 and less commonly in 2, forming distinctive bioturbated intervals within sparsely bioturbated successions. Benthic activity was controlled by food distribution, oxygenation, hydrodynamic energy, and water turbidity. Food was delivered to the surface or in suspension by currents, promoting deposit- or suspension-feeding strategies in the infauna, respectively. Oxygen levels increased during contour current activity yet remained relatively low (upper dysoxic). Hydrodynamic energy controlled bioturbation intensity, resulting in lower degrees of bioturbation during higher energy events. Suspension-feeding strategies suggest that water turbidity was relatively low during current transport. The herein example increases our understanding of environmental controls of shallow-water contour currents, supporting the fact that high bioturbation levels are typical of contourite deposits and providing an example of muddy contourites showing high preservation of sedimentary structures due to oxygen deficiency in bottom waters.
DYNAMICS OF DEPOSITION AND FOSSIL PRESERVATION AT THE EARLY EOCENE OKANAGAN HIGHLANDS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA: INSIGHTS FROM ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY

Published: May 2022

The early Eocene Okanagan Highland fossil sites of Washington (USA) and British Columbia (Canada) contain exquisitely preserved plant and insect fossils that showcase a critical time and place in the evolution of the Northern Hemisphere temperate deciduous biome. A comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of fossil deposition and preservation at these sites is not fully resolved but is critical for reliable reconstructions of these ancient forests. To expand on previous interpretations (e.g., deep, stratified, anoxic lake bottoms) and address uncertainties about the environment of deposition (e.g., distance to shore, influence of diatoms), we analyzed sediment samples from three Okanagan Highland fossil sites—McAbee, Falkland, and Driftwood Canyon—for organic biomarkers, their stable carbon isotopic compositions, and glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs; at McAbee only). Terpenoids suggest relative trends in gymnosperm abundance between sites that agree with prior macrofossil evidence, though absolute values may overestimate local gymnosperm abundance. A combination of biomarker evidence indicates a predominantly autochthonous aquatic source (e.g., diatoms) for organic matter in shale and mudstone samples, even contributing to long chain n-alkanes and likely to branched GDGTs, which are often assumed to be terrestrially sourced. In combination with biomarker evidence for anoxia and stratification, fossiliferous shales are interpreted to have been deposited offshore in deep and mesotrophic lakes that were thermally stratified with an anoxic hypolimnion, away from in-flowing tributaries, while a coal horizon at Driftwood Canyon was deposited in a shallower, eutrophic, anoxic wetland. Anoxic conditions likely minimized some degradation-based biases and promoted high quality fossil preservation. Deposition of sediment and fossil remains offshore and away from inflowing tributaries suggest fossil plants were locally sourced but highlights the need for careful consideration of transport-induced biases.
New Grain Size and Petromagnetic Records from Lacustrine Sediments in the South of Southwestern East Siberia: Application for the Reconstruction of the Regional Environment in the Late Glacial and Holocene

Published: May 2022

—Bottom sediments of lakes are regarded as one of the most informative continental facies used to reconstruct environmental changes in lake catchments. They usually contain a high-resolution and continuous record of geologic events, the knowledge of which is important for understanding the evolution of sedimentary processes and landscapes under the influence of climatic changes and the impact of short-lived catastrophic processes. The southwestern Baikal region (the Tunka rift and its East Sayan mountain framing) is replete with lakes of different geneses and morphologies. Recent fieldworks have allowed a multiproxy study of the lacustrine sediments of several lakes of the Oka and Tunka regions. The results demonstrate that there were no glaciers in the foothill plain of the Tunka rift valley earlier than 14,800 cal yr BP. On the Oka plateau, within the East Sayan high-mountain zone, deglaciation started somewhat earlier than 13,800 cal yr BP. The grain size, petromagnetic, and physical properties of the lacustrine sediments point to a general weak hydrodynamics throughout the 13,800 yr sedimentation history in Lake Khikushka. However, a gradual reduction in fine fractions from base to top of the lake section suggests a gradual drawdown of the water level following the change of the water source from glacial melt waters to atmospheric precipitation. Biogenic silt accumulation in Lake Khikushka started parallel with the onset of the Holocene ~11,700 yr BP, suggesting a quick response of the natural environment of the lake basin to major global climatic changes. The short-term episodes of enhanced hydrodynamics in Lake Khikushka ~9000, 8200, 6500, and 2000 yr BP confirm the high sensitivity of the lake geosystem to climatic changes, not only on a millennial but also on a shorter-time scale. The characteristics of the sediments of Lake Engarginskoe are evident of lacustrine-alluvial sedimentation in the reservoir in the Early and Middle Holocene. New data on the grain size and petromagnetic parameters of the lacustrine sediments from two lakes located within different climatic belts of East Sayan show their high potential for a wide range of paleoecological reconstructions.

AbstractThis Malay customary law contains a set of rules or behavioral norms that have consequences if violated. This illustrates that customary law has big consequences if it is violated and opposed by the community. The implementation of the law is generally reflected in the dispute over the disputed land which ends with a fine, as happened in the customary law of Pati Nyawa Cross Ethnic Malay Islam and Dayak. This paper discusses the customary law tradition of Pati Nyawa Cross Ethnic Kapuas Hulu Regency. This paper aims to determine the purpose of the establishment of the Pati Nyawa customary law across ethnic Malay Islam and Dayak Kapuas Hulu Regency. This research uses descriptive-analytical method. The results of the analysis show that in customary law this symbolizes the symbol of maintaining village peace and community comfort as well as the laws described in various villages through customary law documents. The customary law covering the sub-district is about the customary law of politeness that must be obeyed by local people and immigrants who want to visit the place as well as a chapter on marriage which explains how the marriage process is, the conditions specified in marriage to be able to comply with village customs and regulations local.  AbstrakHukum adat Melayu ini memuat seperangkat aturan atau norma berprilaku yang punya konsekuensi apabila dilanggar. Hal ini menggambarkan bahwasanya hukum adat mempunyai konsekuensi yang besar jika dilanggar dan ditentang oleh masyarakat. Pelaksanaan hukum tersebut secara umum tercermin dalam perebutan tanah sengketa yang diakhiri dengan denda sebagaimana yang terjadi pada hukum adat Pati Nyawa Lintas Etnis Melayu Islam dan Dayak. Makalah ini membahas tradisi hukum adat Pati Nyawa Lintas Etnis Kabupaten Kapuas Hulu. Tulisan ini bertujuan mengetahui maksud dibentuknya hukum adat Pati Nyawa Lintas Etnis Melayu Islam dan Dayak Kabupaten Kapuas Hulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis. Hasil analisis menunjukkan dalam hukum adat ini melambangkan simbol menjaga ketentraman desa dan kenyamanan bermasyarakat dan juga hukum-hukum yang dijelaskan dalam berbagai desa melalui dokumen-dokumen hukum adat. Hukum adat yang meliputi Kecamatan tersebut tentang hukum adat kesopanan yang harus dipatuhi oleh orang setempat dan orang pendatang yang ingin berkunjung ke tempat tersebut serta bab tentang perkawinan yang menjelaskan tentang bagaimana proses perkawinan, syarat-syarat yang ditentukan dalam perkawinan untuk dapat mematuhi adat dan peraturan desa setempat.

Background
Microorganisms distribute and proliferate both inside and outside the body, which are the main mediators of decomposition after death. However, limited information is available on the postmortem microbiota changes of extraintestinal body sites in the early decomposition stage of mammalian corpses.
Results
This study investigated microbial composition variations among different organs and the relationship between microbial communities and time since death over 1 day of decomposition in male C57BL/6J mice by 16S rRNA sequencing. During 1 day of decomposition, Agrobacterium, Prevotella, Bacillus, and Turicibacter were regarded as time-relevant genera in internal organs at different timepoints. Pathways associated with lipid, amino acid, carbohydrate and terpenoid and polyketide metabolism were significantly enriched at 8 hours than that at 0.5 or 4 hours. The microbiome compositions and postmortem metabolic pathways differed by time since death, and more importantly, these alterations were organ specific.
Conclusion
The dominant microbes differed by organ, while they tended toward similarity as decomposition progressed. The observed thanatomicrobiome variation by body site provides new knowledge into decomposition ecology and forensic microbiology. Additionally, the microbes detected at 0.5 hours in internal organs may inform a new direction for organ transplantation.

Many places have common physical, biological, and chemical hazards and heavy metals contamination in drinking water is very important to study especially near industrial areas and mining sources. Application of microbes along with other physicochemical techniques can prove to be the suitable remediation technology for the removal of metals from water. This study aimed to remove iron and hexavalent chromium from water using slow sand filters inoculated with iron-oxidizing bacteria Acidothiobacillus ferrooxidans. An experiment was performed for 37 days under controlled conditions, a water sample was prepared synthetically and another sample was collected from water filtration plant from Abbottabad city in KP Province- Pakistan and influents and effluents were tested for different parameters like pH, turbidity, hardness, total plate count, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity and analysis of iron and hexavalent chromium in water. Acidothiobacillus ferrooxidans culture was isolated from soil using the differential iron media i.e. 9K medium and was inoculated into sand filters. At the end of the experiment, the removal efficiency of ferrous iron was about 52% and that of hexavalent chromium was 60.2%. In simultaneous treatment, it was observed that removal efficiency of iron was about 68% while that of hexavalent chromium was about 93% suggesting that slow sand filters were more effective for the removal of hexavalent chromium than iron. Hence, the designed slow sand filters were able to reduce the concentration of hexavalent chromium more efficiently than ferrous iron. And it was observed that slow sand filters can effectively remove ferrous iron and hexavalent chromium from water if they are inoculated with respective bacteria.

ObjectivesIn our study, we aimed to reveal the frequency and determinants of adverse events in patients with diabetes mellitus, who presented to the emergency department for any reason, had uncomplicated hyperglycemia, but were decided to be treated as an outpatient.ResultsAs the patient group with a plasma glucose level of 200 mg/dl and above and normoglycemic diabetic patients were evaluated, no significant difference was found in terms of re-admission to the emergency department and the frequency of hospitalization. (Respectively, within seven days p=0.738, 0.805, within thirty days p=0.130, 0.697). In the patient group with plasma glucose level of 200 mg/dl and above, waiting times in the emergency department (p= 0.012) and average fluid replacement were higher (p=0.002). As the factors affecting re-admission were evaluated, it was found significant that the patient had insulin-dependent diabetes. (Within in seven days OR:2.20, %95 GA 1,.26-3.84, p = 0.005; within thirty days OR:2.48, %95 GA 1.39-4.41, p = 0.002). Other factors such as gender, age, admission glucose level and diabetes type were not found to be effective.ConclusionsThe high blood glucose level of diabetic non-complicated hyperglycemia cases admitted to the emergency department was not found to have an effect on recurrent admissions and hospitalizations for any reason in the first seven and thirty days. Treatment and follow-up planning should be done carefully in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with a high probability of re-admission and hospitalization in this group

Purpose: Considering the complex difficulties in accessing treatment, and the positive results of patient navigation (PN) in high income countries, it was decided to evaluate this tool to improve radiotherapy (RT) access in the public system in Brazil. Patients and methods: This pilot study was carried out in a public school hospital, with a historical cohort as the control arm.The primary endpoint was the time from histologic diagnosis and RT initiation among cancer patients receiving RT with curative intent in a PN program. The secondary objectives were the following time frames: referral to first consultation by RT team; first consultation up to RT beginning ; RT beginning to RT end; and identifying and describing the main obstacles to the treatment; and assessing patient satisfaction with PN program. Results: 124 patients were included in the retrospective arm and 73 in the navigation arm. Most had loco-regionally advanced disease from esophagus, head/ neck, and rectum. PN decreased the median time from biopsy result to the beginning of RT from 108 to 74 days (p < 0.001). PN also decreased the time between biopsy results and referral to RT (53 to 40.5 days, p = 0.011); between the referral and the first consultation in the RT (25 to 13 days, p < 0.001) and between the referral and the end of the RT (98 to 78 days, p < 0.003).Conclusions: Proper identification of barriers involved in treatment, especially in a low resource setting is mandatory in order to guide PN programs in LMICs. In an oncological context of socioeconomic vulnerability, PN is a financially viable and efficient tool to optimize access to timely RT.

Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) studies in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with freezing of gait (FOG) have implicated dysfunctional connectivity over multiple resting-state networks. While these findings provided information related to the aberrant or altered regional functional connectivity, whether these alterations have any effect on topological reorganization in PD-FOG patients is incompletely understood. In this study, we use rs-fMRI data and graph theoretical approaches to explore the reorganization of resting-state network topology in PD-FOG when compared to those without FOG (PD-nFOG). We found that the PD-FOG patients showed global topological reorganization accompanied by a reduction in efficiency and network strength. There was also a noticeable reorganization of ‘hub’ regions and significantly reduced rich-club connectivity in PD-FOG. Overall our findings demonstrate a widespread topological reorganization in PD-FOG which may further assist in improving our understanding of functional network disturbances associated with PD-FOG.
