Web-Based Geographic Information System Development of Hotspots Distribution for Monitoring Forest and Land Fires Using Leaflet JavaScript Library (Case Study: Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatera)
Authors: Sukojo Bangun Muljo , Lisakiyanto Diya Rochima
Published: December 2021

Forest and land fires are a disaster that occurs almost every year on Sumatra Island. Ogan Komering Ilir is one of the regencies in South Sumatra Province with a high number of hotspots causing forest and land fires every year. Prevention efforts are important to reduce the impact caused by forest and land fires on various aspects of life. One of them is by building a web-based Geographic Information System (WebGIS) for the distribution of hotspots as a form of early warning and detection system by utilizing VIIRS Nightfire (VNF) data from the remote sensing technology of the Suomi-NPP satellite which has Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) active sensors which have been processed with the Nightfire algorithm. The Leaflet JavaScript library plays an important role in adding to the functionality of WebGIS with a wide selection of available plugins and easy-to-read source code to make web-based spatial information more interactive. The prototype of WebGIS with the name OKIApi has been successfully developed and has several key features such as displaying information on the distribution of hotspots that have been classified by temperature; the priority level of firefighting areas and the vulnerability level of flammable areas based on the type of land cover; route to the hotspot or the fire department locations; a chart of the estimated burned area from the source footprint of hotspot; and a chart of the number of hotspots per day that have been classified by temperature. The percentage value of the web feasibility for the functionality test to 13 WebGIS features is 100% with a very good predicate, the usability test is 91.5% with a very good predicate, and the portability test on 18 web browsers applications is 100% with a very good predicate.

Published: December 2021

The Lembang Fault is a major fault located at the northern Bandung. This fault has a high disaster risk, including ground shaking, surface rupture, and possible landslides or liquefaction. This fault can cause earthquakes of 6.5-7 magnitude, making 8 million people in four Regencies and Cities around West Bandung Regency, Cimahi City, Bandung City and Bandung Regency exposed to major disaster risk. This research focuses on assessing the Perception of Disaster Proneness of the Lembang Fault in the District of Cisarua, West Java, Indonesia. This research was conducted using a case study and deductive-qualitative approach. In addition, this research was carried out by combining engineering and social research methodologies. The survey location point is determined based on hazard data (Peak Ground Acceleration data), vulnerability data (covering building density, slope, curvature, soil character, distance from faults, etc.) and population density data. This study indicates that the public’s perception of the disaster in the Lembang Fault is very subjective. How they act is based on experience or based on their beliefs. Therefore, an essential part of this research is assessing and measuring the community’s perception of the Lembang Fault towards disasters that may arise. The government must make serious efforts to convey that the disaster in the Lembang fault is much bigger and can happen at any time. Therefore, building resilient communities that genuinely understand the dangers of living in disaster-prone areas is essential.

Landslide susceptibility mapping is an initial measure in the landslide hazard mitigation. This study aims to evaluate landslide susceptibility in the Cisangkuy Sub-watershed, a part of Bandung Basin. Twenty-seven landslide variables were involved in this modeling derived from various data sources. As a target, 25 landslide polygons obtained through a visual interpretation of Google Earth timeseries images and 33 landslide points obtained from a field survey and an official landslide report, were used as landslide inventory data. All spatial data were prepared in the same cell size referring to the highest spatial resolution of data involved in this modeling, i.e., 8.34 m. Fifty-eight (58) landslide locations covering an area of 0.87 Ha are equivalent to 1040 cells in the raster format. In total, 2040 samples consisting of landslides and non-landslides with the same ratio, were trained using random forest algorithm. Non-landslides were sampled randomly from landslide-free cells. This modeling was executed using R environment. In this study, the result was two labels, susceptible and non-susceptible. This model provided an excellent performance, its accuracy reached 98.56%. This research needs an improvement to provide a probability that has a range of 0 to 1 to show the level of landslide susceptibility.

PT. Hutama Karya (Persero), according to Presidential Regulation No. 100 of 2014 and No. 117 of 2015, obtained an assignment to construct and operate 24 sections of Trans Sumatera Toll Road along 2,789 km, including Padang - Pekanbaru Toll Road, where almost all of the segments are located in fault areas and in areas with diverse rock formation. In terms of the number of fault locations, the toll road has a greater risk of earthquakes. Whereas in terms of varying rock formations, construction planning and improper structure determination will cause a highly cost-enhancing effect. In the planning stage, the selection of route is one of the mitigations to minimize the risks and impacts of the earthquake disaster. Toll road trajectories are designed optimally by considering the movement of the earth’s plates based on fault data on these locations and data on rock formations for the construction and structure plan of the Toll Road. Input data needed is Geological Secondary Data and Topographic Data containing information on fault areas and rock formations. Therefore, planning with Quantm Trimble software is the right solution. Determining the route with Quantm Trimble software is one of the effective and efficient methods. The main key in determining routes by Quantm Trimble is the software algorithm which can determine the route quickly by considering the main constraints such as avoiding fault areas, avoiding an area with certain rock formations also determining the construction methods on certain rock formation areas. Quantm Trimble software is able to generate several alternative routes based on user-defined constraints, including accommodating the automatic selected smoothing process according to the specified road geometry standard. The software greatly accommodates the determination of the plan by considering risk and disaster management, as well as being able to manage costs well by determining the construction method plan quickly and accurately.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the geographical shape of the earth’s face with the 472319 Hahslm patterns in geomorphology. Earth undergoes the process of forming water and soil so that it becomes a continent and an archipelago. The composition of the sea and land is 7:3. The object of this study is the shape of the sea and land on earth and the Quran 13.31. This research was conducted by studying literature from books, journals, electronic media, and earth globes, and world atlases. The methodology used is descriptive-analytical. The method used is reflexivity, similarity, and dynivity with the formula 472319 Hahslm. The result obtained is the process of changing the shape of the earth’s surface towards a pattern of worship by the meaning of the holy book in the form of cutting the earth according to the meaning of the Quran. The Quran formula 13.31 forms an arrangement of 444 in the form of letter number 13, namely 1+3=4, and from 31, namely 3+1=4. The third pattern 4 is obtained from the number of letters hijaiyaj in the word for cutting the earth as many as 13 letters meaning 1 + 3 = 4. The geomorphological reflectivity of the earth resembles the pattern of 444. With the composition of the oceans and lands of 7:3 which has a difference of four from 7-3=4. In the formula, 472319 Hahslm derived from the Quran 15.87 means the Quran in the form of 6438 verses. The second meaning of 4 is obtained from the multiplication of 7 and 2, namely 7x2=14 by taking the first four words of the fourteenth phrase. And the third meaning of 4 from addition is 3+1+9=13 where the root of digit 13 is 1+3=4. The second geography of the earth is at number 4 from the geomorphology of the continents of Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia which forms a hand pattern of 319. With the tips of small fingers located in parts of countries that have islands located in the eastern to southeastern Asian continents such as parts of Russia, Japan, Korea, China, and the Philippines.

Published: December 2021

Data containing information on the terrain elevation model is necessary for several uses related to human activities, such as development planning, spatial planning, disaster modeling, disaster mitigation planning, land productivity estimation, etc. Information about the ground elevation can be presented in a 3-dimensional topographical model such as Digital Terrain Model (DTM). There are several technologies used to form DTM data, including by using LiDAR and radar satellites (Sentinel-1). The hydro enforcement method is used to process DTM with LiDAR data by modifying the elevation value of LiDAR data in water areas during data processing. The height of this feature is modified digitally to achieve hydrological connectivity. This method aims to produce a DTM according to the principles of hydro enforcement and hydro flatten. While for processing DTM radar data, the InSAR method is used. InSAR is a remote sensing technique to extract three-dimensional information from the earth’s surface with the phase of radar waves. Additional data of morphological information and break lines were added to provide more representative information on the actual situation. The result of this research is the value of vertical geometry accuracy (LE90) of DTM to RBI data with a scale of 1:25,000. In this research, 5 kinds of DTM have been successfully formed with LE90 vertical accuracy values are as follows: LiDAR DTM with LE90 of 4.614 m; InSAR DTM with LE90 of 9.583 m; InSAR breakline with LE90 of 9.433 m; InSAR RBI assimilation with LE90 of 2.532 m; and InSAR DTM-LiDAR assimilation with LE90 of 4.077 m. DTM with the highest accuracy based on Topographic Map (RBI) 1:25,000 is InSAR DTM RBI assimilation and the lowest accuracy is DTM InSAR without breakline and assimilation data.

Published: December 2021

Land use planning in an area will refer to the regulations that have been established by the City Planning Office of each region. This is because each region has the authority to plan spatial plans in their respective regions. The border area is an area whose land use can be influenced by two different regional regulations. This is because the border area is a special area located on the border between two regions, each of which has spatial planning regulations. Gayungan District is one of the sub-districts included in the Border Area between Surabaya City and Sidoarjo Regency. To prevent overlapping spatial regulations that may occur in Gayungan District, it is necessary to monitor the suitability of land use using geographic information system technology and remote sensing. The data used in this study are the 2019 Gayungan District RDTRK Map and very high resolution satellite imagery of Pleiades Surabaya City 2019. The method used is the Object Based Image Analysis (OBIA) method. The result of this research is the suitability of land use in Gayungan District. A land use can be said to be suitable if the existing land use is in accordance with the land use in the plan. Meanwhile, land use is said to be inappropriate if the existing land use is different from the planned spatial use. All land use classes in Gayungan District in 2019 had a higher percentage of unsuitable land than the percentage of suitable land. Each percentage of land is not suitable for each land use class, namely: water body class by 92.593%, road class by 78.035%, industrial class by 77.838%, defense class by 76.706%, green open space class by 69.736%, and residential class by 52,27%. So it can be said that the land use in Gayungan District in 2019 was not in accordance with the plans in the City Spatial Detail Plan Map for 2018-2038, but the land use could be appropriate in its designation for the future, because there is a possibility of development for residential class, industrial class, and defense class on open land that is still widely available.

Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) is a government agency engaged in the field of Geospatial Information (IG). BIG provides several services that can be accessed by the general public and related to IG. One of the services provided by BIG is the Indonesia Continuously Operating Reference System (InaCORS). InaCORS is divided into various services, as Rinex data services, Online Post-Processing, RTK NTrip, and Mobile InaCORS. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and accuracy of InaCORS services for GNSS surveys using the Rapid Static method and Network RTK. The rapid static survey data is processed using online post-processing services and Network RTK (iMax, Max, and Nearest) will use InaCORS points as a base reference. This study also uses the results of the Total Station tool as comparison data. The results showed that the average value of the difference between the rapid static coordinates and the TS observations was dN = 0.353 m dE = 0.180 m and dZ = 0.233 m, while the Network RTK and TS coordinates were dN = 0.408 m dE = 0.184 m and dZ = 0.176 m.

Authors: Utama Widya , Indriani Rista Fitri
Published: December 2021

This study aims to determine the effect of physiography based on slope and land cover for water control in Kali Lamong watershed. The data used in this research are DEM data and Landsat 8 imagery data. The process of processing slope data is through conversion coordinates system, DEM clip, create slope, reclassify, dissolve shapefile, and slope classification analysis. Landsat 8 data processing goes through a process through conversion coordinates system, composite band, crop composite, extent shapefile, sharpen band, unsupervised classification, and land cover classification analysis. Slope classification maps and land cover classification maps are used for flow coefficient classification for physiographic analysis based on slope and land cover for water control in Kali Lamong watershed. On the land cover classification map, five land classifications were obtained, namely agriculture (158413000 m2), settlements (72701400 m2), industrial land (11571600 m2), plantations (46017800 m2), and waters (15268500 m2). On the slope classification map obtained 5 classifications, as flat with a slope of 0-8% (288469544 m2), as slope with a slope of 8-15% (7656738 m2), as rather steep with a slope of 15-25% (1905360 m2), as steep with a slope of 25-45 (526614 m2), and as very steep with a slope of more than 45% (32148 m2). From the combination of Landsat 8 image data and slope data, flow coefficient analysis was carried out. The flow coefficient is influenced by land cover and slope. From this research, the classification of low flow coefficient is less than 0.25, medium flow coefficient is 0.25-0.5, and high flow coefficient is more than 0.75. The average flow coefficient of Kali Lamong watershed is 0.49 with a moderate flow coefficient classification value. This shows that 49% of the runoff water is in Kali Lamong watershed. The higher the flow coefficient value, the water runs off the surface. So that it can be used as an initial study for the technical planning of Kali Lamong hydrology and the development, improvement, utilization, and control of water flow in Kali Lamong.
Global Geopotential Model Evaluations and Local Geoid in Indonesia: A Review
Authors: Aminah Hamidatul , Anjasmara Ira Mutiara
Published: December 2021

Geoid model was chosen as a vertical reference in Indonesia based on the Head of the Geospatial Information Agency Regulation (Perka BIG) No. 15 of 2013 concerning the Indonesian Geospatial Reference System (SRGI2013). Therefore, the development of local geoid models continues to be carried out to obtain good accuracy. The geoid is formed through three main components: long wave, short wave, and medium wave. One of the longwave components is the global geopotential model obtained from topographic, terrestrial, altimetry, and gravity satellite data. Along with the development of technology and gravity observation methods, the global model has many variations, so it is necessary to determine the global model that is most suitable for the geographical conditions in Indonesia. EGM2008 is often used in local geoid modeling in Indonesia based on research that compares several global models. Still, it does not rule out the possibility of a new global model that is more suitable for Indonesia.

Published: December 2021

Landsat 8 Satellite Imagery (Landsat Data Continuity Mission, LDCM) is a satellite product made by Orbital Science Corporation, which launched with The Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments as the latest features. One of the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments is called Band 10, that provide temperature information on the earth’s surface. As many research conduct the temperature comparison between satellite imagery analysis and land cover temperature has been come with positive correlation for both of the variable. As to prove the temperature relationship, it is necessary to validate the actual temperature values on the earth’s surface by conduct the temperature survey in the area using the temperature measurement tools. One of the tools is DJI Mavic Enterprise Dual Thermal camera as the camera that capable to take samples data of particular objects categories that included urban areas, waters, vegetation, open land, settlements, and industrial factories. Using the satellite imagery’s temperature data and the land cover temperature data survey, comparing and accuration assessment are needed to see how close the value of both variable. The data processing carried out that both of the data have a positive correlation as the relationship, which have a Pearson correlation value of 0.892 and sig. (2-tailed) at the number 0.000000068. This correlation value showed that the relationship between both data is acceptable as the both data can represent each other to conduct any research. However, as the satellite imagery contains 29,85% of cloud cover, the temperature obtained lower in the Landsat 8 satellite image rather than the actual temperature on the earth’s surface.
A Long-term Spatial and Temporal Analysis of NDVI Changes in Java Island Using Google Earth Engine
Authors: Benedict  , Jaelani Lalu Muhamad
Published: December 2021

Java is Indonesia’s and the world’s most populous island. The increase in population on the island of Java reduces the area of forest and other vegetation covers. Landslides, floods, and other natural disasters are caused by reduced vegetation cover. Furthermore, it has the potential to lead to the extinction of flora and fauna. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be used to monitor the vegetation cover. This study analyzes the NDVI changes value from 2005 to 2020 using Terra and Aqua MODIS image data processed using Google Earth Engine. Processing was carried out in some stages: down-setting, performing NDVI processing, calculating monthly average NDVI, calculating annual average NDVI, and analyzing. From the study results, the NDVI value of Terra and Aqua MODIS data has a solid but imperfect correlation coefficient due to differences in orbital time which causes differences in solar zenith angle, sensor viewing angle, and azimuth angle. Then from this study, it was found that overall, changes in vegetation density cover on the island of Java decreased, which was indicated by the NDVI decline rate of -0.00047/year. The most significant decrease in NDVI value occurred in the period 2015–2016, covering an area of 13994.630 km2, and the most significant increase in NDVI occurred in the period 2010–2011, covering an area of 2256.101 km2.

Authors: Matondang J S , Sanjaya H , Arifandri R
Published: December 2021

Tropical peatlands make up almost ten percent of the land surface in Indonesia, making peat fires detrimental not only for global atmospheric carbon levels, but also to public health and socioeconomic activities in the region. Indonesian Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS) was developed based on the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System (CFFWIS), using three different fuel codes and three indices representing fire behaviour. Daily Fire Weather Index (FWI) calculation is done by the Meteorological Climatological and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) with data from its synoptic weather stations network. Distribution of such weather stations are sparse, therefore this paper reports on the development of Fire Weather Index calculator on Google Earth Engine, using high resolution weather data, provided by weather model and remote-sensing open datasets. The resulting application is capable of generating daily maps of FWI components to be used by the Indonesian Fire Danger Rating System.
Displacement Velocity and Strain Analysis of Opak Fault Monitoring Stations
Authors: Widjajanti Nurrohmat , Nata Bayu , Parseno
Published: December 2021

The Opak Fault is an active fault that can potentially cause earthquakes in Yogyakarta. Periodic monitoring of the Opak Fault activity was previously used more GNSS observation data from the measurement campaign by the Geodesi Geometri dan Geodesi Fisis (GGGF) Laboratory Team, Geodetic Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada. However, there are several CORS BIG stations located in Yogyakarta. The CORS BIG data is used to increase the precision of the Opak Fault monitoring station. Therefore, the addition of the CORS is evaluated to obtain a displacement in the monitoring station. The computation of the displacement velocity value of the Opak Fault monitoring station has been done before using the Linear Least Square Collocation and grid search methods. The other method, namely the kriging method, needs to be evaluated for producing a more precise displacement velocity value. The research data includes GNSS campaign and CORS BIG data for six years, 2013 to 2020. The CORS stations around DIY are JOGS and CBTL. The GNNS data were processed to determine the solution for the daily coordinate, displacement, and standard deviation values for each Opak Fault monitoring station. The displacement velocity value is generated by the Linear Least Square method then reduced from the influence of the Sunda Block. The velocity value is used in the strain value estimation around the Opak Fault area at each station using the kriging method combined with the gaussian sequential simulation technique. The estimated displacement velocities are examined for statistical significance compared to the research of Adam (2019) and Pinasti (2019). This research generates the value of the displacement velocity in the east and north components of 12.39 to 30.99 mm/year and 1.96 to -14.11 mm/year, respectively. The displacement direction of all monitoring stations is dominant to the southeast. The Sunda Block reduced the displacement velocity. The east and north components are -2.32 to 2.28 mm/year and -0.52 to 4.2 mm/year, respectively. The displacement direction is towards the northwest. The strain estimation using the kriging method combined with the gaussian sequential simulation technique obtained an average strain value of 0.05 microstrain/year. The result of the data processing at each station has different arrow lengths, meaning that each location has a different strain value.

Investigation of short-channel design on performance optimization effect of Hall thruster with large height–radius ratio
Authors: FAN Haotian , DING Yongjie , MO Chunjin , WEI Liqiu , LI Hong , YU Daren
Published: December 2021

In this study, the neutral gas distribution and steady-state discharge under different discharge channel lengths were studied via numerical simulations. The results show that the channel with a length of 22 mm has the advantage of comprehensive discharge performance. At this time, the magnetic field intensity at the anode surface is 10% of the peak magnetic field intensity. Further analysis shows that the high-gas-density zone moves outward due to the shortening of the channel length, which optimizes the matching between the gas flow field and the magnetic field, and thus increases the ionization rate. The outward movement of the main ionization zone also reduces the ion loss on the wall surface. Thus, the propellant utilization efficiency can reach a maximum of 96.8%. Moreover, the plasma potential in the main ionization zone will decrease with the shortening of the channel. The excessively short-channel will greatly reduce the voltage utilization efficiency. The thrust is reduced to a minimum of 46.1 mN. Meanwhile, because the anode surface is excessively close to the main ionization zone, the discharge reliability is also difficult to guarantee. It was proved that the performance of Hall thrusters can be optimized by shortening the discharge channel appropriately, and the specific design scheme of short-channel of HEP-1350PM was defined, which serves as a reference for the optimization design of Hall thruster with large height–radius ratio. The short-channel design also helps to reduce the thruster axial dimension, further consolidating the advantages of lightweight and large thrust-to-weight ratio of the Hall thruster with large height–radius ratio.
The oxidative cost of helping and its minimization in a cooperative breeder

Published: December 2021

Cooperative actions are beneficial to the group, but presumably costly to the individual co-operators. In cooperatively breeding species, helping to raise young is thought to involve important energetic costs, which could lead to elevated exposure to reactive oxygen species, resulting in oxidative stress. However, identifying such costs can be difficult if individuals adjust their investment in helping in relation to environmental conditions or their own physiological condition. Experimental approaches are therefore required to quantify the costs of helping but, to date, these have been infrequent. Here, we combined correlational and experimental data to investigate the oxidative cost of helping-at-the-nest and how this affects helping decisions in wild sociable weavers Philetairus socius, a colonial cooperatively breeding bird. At the correlational level, we found that the probability of helping was influenced by the interaction of an individual’s oxidative state and age: compared to younger birds, older individuals were more likely to help when they had higher oxidative damage, and the opposite trend was found for younger individuals. After experimentally increasing the energetic cost of flight, manipulated helpers in breeding colonies decreased nestling feeding rates and incurred an increase in oxidative damage, which was not present in manipulated helpers in non-breeding colonies. This indicates that individuals decreased their helping behavior to minimize the associated costs. These results suggest that oxidative stress can influence helping decisions and underlie a trade-off between cooperation and self-maintenance, which is central to understanding when helping might take place in this and other species.

Providers of therapeutic services to children and families have, in recent times, been subject to pressure to supplement traditional service output measures with evidence-based measures, which capture outcomes for service users. In this article, we report on the near decade long establishment of a range of standardised measures within an Irish non-governmental agency providing therapeutic help to children and families across two settings, family centres and early childhood development services. We describe the organisational conditions necessary for the introduction of standardised outcome measures and provide an illustrative overview of participant characteristics and some examples of key findings across both services as they relate to the important outcome domains of child and parent functioning. We further propose a model for the introduction and sustainability of outcome measures as a necessary and enduring feature of therapeutically orientated organisations providing services to children and families. Lastly, we identify organisational commitment to the development of outcome data, plans to ensure sustainable arrangements for ongoing data analysis, and conceptual linkage between evidence informed practice and the values of an organisation as key considerations.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and anxiety disorders (ANX) are common neurodevelopmental conditions with several overlapping symptoms. Notably, many children and adolescents with ASD also have an ANX diagnosis, suggesting shared pathological mechanisms. Here, we leveraged structural imaging and phenotypic data from 112 youth (33 ASD, 37 ANX, 42 typically developing controls) to assess shared and distinct cortical thickness patterns of the disorders. ANX was associated with widespread increases in cortical thickness, while ASD related to a mixed pattern of subtle increases and decreases across the cortical mantle. Despite the qualitative difference in the case–control contrasts, the statistical maps from the ANX-vs-controls and ASD-vs-controls analyses were significantly correlated when correcting for spatial autocorrelation. Dimensional analysis, regressing trait anxiety and social responsiveness against cortical thickness measures, partially recapitulated diagnosis-based findings. Collectively, our findings provide evidence for a common axis of neurodevelopmental disturbances as well as distinct effects of ASD and ANX on cortical thickness.

In this article, we present two new concepts related to subgraph counting where the focus is not on the number of subgraphs that are isomorphic to some fixed graph $H$, but on the frequency with which a vertex or an edge belongs to such subgraphs. In particular, we are interested in the case where $H$ is a complete graph. These new concepts are termed vertex participation and edge participation, respectively. We combine these concepts with that of the rich-club to identify what we call a Super rich-club and rich edge-club. We show that the concept of vertex participation is a generalization of the rich-club. We present experimental results on randomized Erdös–Rényi and Watts–Strogatz small-world networks. We further demonstrate both concepts on a complex brain network and compare our results to the rich-club of the brain.
Constructing the Classical Past: the Role of Landscape in Christopher Wordsworth’s Greece
Authors: Hollis Dawn L
Published: December 2021

This article examines the works of Christopher Wordsworth (1807–85), who has hitherto been neglected as an important and intriguing figure in the history of travel writing on Greece. His texts, which invite readers to ‘view’ the country from mountain-tops and to imagine its caves and quarries filled with ancient figures, highlight the importance of landscape as a frame for studying classical reception. Wordsworth ‘received’ ancient Greece through its visible, modern landscape in three ways: through a sense of the landscape as a container for memory, through the use of specific landscapes as springboard for ‘flights of fancy’ enabling a vivid engagement with the classical past, and as a tool for better interpreting and understanding the history and literature of the ancient Mediterranean. Christopher Wordsworth constructed a vision of ancient Greece for his readers through his description of the nineteenth-century landscape. As such he offers an important reminder to consider the role played by the embodied experience of space and place in analysing acts of classical reception.

Background and Aims

Subcutaneous [SC] vedolizumab presents the opportunity for inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] patients to manage their treatment at home. There are currently no data on the process of transitioning patients established on intravenous [IV] to SC vedolizumab as part of routine clinical care. The aim of this programme is to evaluate the clinical and biochemical outcomes of switching a cohort of IBD patients established on IV vedolizumab to SC, at 12 weeks following the transition.

Methods

In all, 178 adult patients were offered the opportunity to transition to SC vedolizumab. Patients who agreed were reviewed prior to switching and at Week 12 [W12] after their first SC dose. Evaluation outcomes included disease activity scores, the IBD-Control Patient-Reported Outcome Measures [PROMs], and faecal calprotectin [FCP]. Reasons for patients declining or accepting transitioning, pharmacokinetics, adverse drug reactions, and risk factors for a poor outcome in SARS-CoV-2 infection were also assessed.

Results

A total of 124 patients agreed to transition, of whom 106 patients had been on IV vedolizumab for at least 4 months. There were no statistically significant differences in disease activity scores or IBD-Control PROMs between baseline and W12. A statistically significant increase in FCP was observed [31 µg/g vs. 47 µg/g; p = 0.008], although this was unlikely to be clinically relevant. The most common adverse drug reaction reported was injection site reactions [15%]. Based on this cohort of patients, an expected reduction of £572,000 per annum is likely to be achieved.

Conclusions

Transitioning patients established on IV vedolizumab to SC appears to be safe and effective, with high patient satisfaction and multiple benefits for the health service.

On the relationship between research parasites and fairness in machine learning: challenges and opportunities

Published: December 2021

Machine learning systems influence our daily lives in many different ways. Hence, it is crucial to ensure that the decisions and recommendations made by these systems are fair, equitable, and free of unintended biases. Over the past few years, the field of fairness in machine learning has grown rapidly, investigating how, when, and why these models capture, and even potentiate, biases that are deeply rooted not only in the training data but also in our society. In this Commentary, we discuss challenges and opportunities for rigorous posterior analyses of publicly available data to build fair and equitable machine learning systems, focusing on the importance of training data, model construction, and diversity in the team of developers. The thoughts presented here have grown out of the work we did, which resulted in our winning the annual Research Parasite Award that GigaSciencesponsors.
Effect of fault discretization on geodetic source inversion and usefulness of the trans-dimensional inversion approach
Authors: Kubo Hisahiko , Suzuki Wataru , Noda Akemi
Published: December 2021

Earthquake source inversion, which estimates the heterogeneous slip distribution on fault from geophysical data, is a fundamental technique for estimating earthquake rupture process and obtaining information about the physics of fault rupture. Source inversion requires the spatial discretization of fault, which can be performed uniformly and non-uniformly. Uniform fault discretization is a conventional approach that requires smoothing and/or non-negative constraints of slips as prior information to obtain a stable and reliable solution; however, the combination of uniform discretization and these prior constraints may distort a source-inversion solution. As a non-uniform discretization approach, source inversion using a trans-dimensional inversion approach has recently attracted attention. To study the effect of fault discretization on geodetic source inversion, through the analysis of geodetic data on the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal, earthquake and synthetic tests, we investigated what kind of solution the conventional source inversion with uniform discretization and the trans-dimensional source inversion provide and what kind of uncertainty their solutions have. We found that the combination of uniform discretization and non-negative constraint led to excessively smooth solutions with poor data fit. Even without using the non-negative constraint, the conventional inversion with uniform discretization provided distorted and sometimes overfitted solutions, which could not be identified based on uncertainty information. In contrast, the trans-dimensional source inversion provided reasonable solutions composed only of meaningful slips, which were required to explain the data. We also found that uncertainty information depends on the source-inversion method; consequently, the evaluation of method-induced uncertainty is difficult. This suggests that we look at earthquake ruptures through the lens of source inversion with inherent method-dependent bias.
Exact and inexact Douglas–Rachford splitting methods for solving large-scale sparse absolute value equations
Authors: Chen Cairong , Yu Dongmei , Han Deren
Published: December 2021

Exact and inexact Douglas–Rachford splitting methods are developed to solve the large-scale sparse absolute value equation (AVE) $Ax - |x| =b$, where $A\in \mathbb {R}^{n\times n}$ and $b\in \mathbb {R}^n$. The inexact method adopts a relative error tolerance and, therefore, in the inner iterative processes, the LSQR method is employed to find a qualified approximate solution of each subproblem, resulting in a lower cost for each iteration. When $\|A^{-1}\|\le 1$ and the solution set of the AVE is nonempty, the algorithms are globally and linearly convergent. When $\|A^{-1}\|= 1$ and the solution set of the AVE is empty, the sequence generated by the exact algorithm diverges to infinity on a trivial example. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the viability and robustness of the proposed methods.

Background

Whether serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA associates with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients has not been fully elucidated.

Methods

We enrolled 2974 patients receiving nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) from a prospective, observational CHB cohort to investigate the effect of serum HBV RNA, measured at study entry (baseline), on HCC development, using Cox regression analyses.

Results

During median follow-up of 4.4 years, 90 patients developed HCC. Patients with detectable baseline HBV RNA (n = 2072) exhibited significantly higher HCC risk than those with undetectable level (5-year HCC incidence estimated by Kaplan-Meier method: 4.1% versus 1.8%, P = .009; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 2.21, P = .005). HBV RNA levels of 609–99 999 and ≥100 000 copies/mL were associated with incrementally increasing HCC risk (aHR = 2.15 and 3.05, respectively; P for trend = .003), compared to undetectable level (<609 copies/mL). Moreover, patients with single-detectable either HBV DNA or RNA and double-detectable DNA and RNA had 1.57- and 4.02-fold higher HCC risk, respectively, than those with double-undetectable DNA and RNA (P for trend = .001).

Conclusions

High-level HBV RNA is associated with increased HCC risk in NAs-treated patients. Achieving undetectable HBV RNA may contribute to better clinical outcomes, indicating it could be a valuable endpoint of anti-HBV treatment.
