Published: March 2023

Power system stability is one of the most crucial issues which deals with the response of the system to the errors such as: Sudden load change, Short circuit, Prime mover failure, Excitation failure etc. To maintain the stability and the damping oscillation of power system. Recently, FACTS controllers have been proposed to enhance the transient or dynamic stability of the power systems, e.g.: SVC, TCSC, STATCOM. In this a fuzzy logic controller is proposed to apply a suitable control signal to STATCOM. To improve the fault clearing time and transient stability improvement within a particular duration. It is found that the fault clearing times of 0.10sec for generator (G1) under test are self-stable with respect to simulation time. Proposed method is implemented in a single machine infinite bus system and the results are compared with conventional energy function-based controllers.

Published: March 2023

Introducción. Durante el desarrollo embrionario normal, se espera que el denominado uraco o ligamento umbilical mediano se oblitere a las 32 semanas de gestación. Ante una obliteración incompleta surgen las diferentes anomalías, siendo las más frecuentes el quiste y la fístula urinaria umbilical. El objetivo de este artículo fue presentar el caso de una paciente joven, sin comorbilidades, con quiste de uraco.
Caso clínico. Mujer indígena de 19 años que consultó por dolor leve en hipogastrio, asociado a síntomas urinarios y distensión abdominal. Se sospechó en primera instancia cólico renal, pero ante hallazgos ecográficos de masa infraumbilical y reactantes de fase aguda elevados, la impresión diagnóstica cambió a sepsis secundaria a absceso intraabdominal. Posterior a tomografía y cistoscopía con calibración uretral se identificó pequeño divertículo en cúpula vesical, que sugirió el diagnóstico de uraco persistente, por lo que la paciente fue llevada a intervención quirúrgica para su resección, con evolución favorable.
Discusión. El quiste de uraco es una anormalidad infrecuente, en su mayoría asintomática y generalmente de hallazgo incidental en la población anciana, por lo que se requiere de imágenes y manejo multidisciplinar para su correcto diagnóstico y abordaje.
Conclusión. Son pocos los casos de uraco persistente reportados, y mucho menos en el sexo femenino. Dada la posibilidad de complicaciones tardías es importante el seguimiento para su manejo. Este caso se ha controlado de manera ambulatoria por 2 años.

La información se obtuvo del registro de historias clínicas. Las variables analizadas se clasificaron según las características sociodemográficas de los pacientes, clínicas y quirúrgicas. Se hizo una caracterización de acuerdo con los resultados encontrados.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 51 pacientes con hernia lateral, 29 de ellos mujeres, con un promedio de edad de 59 años y de índice de masa corporal de 28 kg/m2 . El 60 % tenía comorbilidades de base, siendo la hipertensión arterial la más frecuente. La mayoría se clasificaron como ASA II. En cuanto a la localización, la L3 fue la más común (37,2 %). Se presentaron complicaciones postquirúrgicas en el 27,4 % de los pacientes, siendo las más frecuentes seromas, hematomas e infecciones de sitio operatorio. Ningún paciente requirió reintervención para el manejo de las complicaciones.
Conclusión. Conocer la población y determinar cuáles son las principales complicaciones postquirúrgicas de un procedimiento permite tomar medidas para disminuir su frecuencia, pero en este caso, se necesitan estudios adicionales para determinar cuáles son los mayores factores asociados a las complicaciones.
Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) Disorders: Lessons Learned from the Introduction of Different Management Strategies in an Australian Tertiary Hospital. Retrospective Study (2004 to 2020)
Authors: Caldas Rita , Parr Alexander , Adno Alan , Borok Nira , Smoleniec John , Rahimpanah Farhad
Published: March 2023

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder refers to pathologic adherence of the placenta and presents multiple perinatal challenges, accounting for between 30–50% of emergency peripartum hysterectomies. Accurate prenatal diagnosis allows multidisciplinary management and delivery at centres with experience and has been shown to improve perinatal outcomes. This study aims to analyse the results of implementing different strategies across the years on the diagnosis and management of PAS in a tertiary Australian hospital (Liverpool Hospital) including: the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the benefits of the use of iliac artery balloons and ureteric stents. Secondary objectives include analysis of the risk factors and outcomes. Methods: Retrospective case series of 34 pregnancies complicated by PAS disorders, diagnosed between 2004 and 2020, and delivered at Liverpool Hospital. Descriptive and analytic study (with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05), approved by the Research Ethics and Governance Information System. Results: The incidence of PAS was 0.6 per 1000 deliveries. The typical risk factors (previous uterine surgeries and placenta praevia) were present in 79% of the cases. MRI was used in 39% of the cases (when ultrasound was inconclusive or placenta posterior) and was only inconclusive in 1 case. In total, 32% required emergency delivery due to haemorrhage or preterm labor. The overall complications rate was 32%. Ureteric stents were used in 44% of the cases and there were no ureteric injuries. The use of iliac balloons reduced the total blood loss (2.5 L compared to 2.8 L), however this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.21). Conclusions: The prenatal diagnosis of PAS is essential to allow optimal perinatal management of these cases. The use of MRI appears helpful when ultrasound is inconclusive. In our study, the use of iliac balloons reduced blood loss, although this was not statistically significant, and ureteric stents appeared useful to avoid ureteric injury in the most complex cases, although the sample is very small. We hope that our study will help us improving our clinical practice.

Patients with acromegaly carry a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In fact, CVD is the leading cause of mortality among this group of patients. The most frequent cardiovascular complications are heart failure (HF), valvular disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease (CAD). The pathophysiology centers on the family of growth hormone (GH). These hormones are involved in normal cardiac development and function; however, excess of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), the principally active hormone, can also cause negative effects on the cardiovascular system. HF in acromegaly usually presents with biventricular enlargement and diastolic dysfunction and is strongly associated with the duration of GH excess rather than the degree of hormone elevation. There is a high prevalence of valvular disease affecting aortic and mitral valves among patients with longer disease duration. The development of hypertension in acromegaly may be attributed to the effects of chronic GH/IGF-1 excess on different organ systems, which act via several mechanisms. The aspect of arrhythmia and CAD complicating acromegaly are currently not fully understood.

Penafsiran dan Pelaksanaan Pancasila pada masa Orde Lama tidak terlepas dari situasi politik pada masa itu. Sebagai negara yang baru lahir, Pancasila sudah langsung mengalami introdusir secara keliru oleh rezim yang berkuasa. Penyimpangan banyak terjadi selama masa Orde Lama yang dinahkodai oleh Presiden Soekarno. Diantaranya pada tanggal 5 Juli 1959 Presiden Soekarno mendekritkan kembali UUD 1945. Pada masa itu Presiden Soekarno menyampaikan konsep yang disebut Demokrasi Terpimpin yang berlandaskan pada UUD 1945 dan dijiwai Pancasila ini menjanjikan ia seorang yang otoriter. Senada yang dikatakan Bung Karno “buang abunya, ambil apinya”. Nilai itu terdapat pada sosok Soekarno sendiri yang merupakan tokoh dengan berjuta polemik, di tahun 1945 ia adalah seorang pejuang tetapi di tahun 1950an keatas ia malah termakan oleh kekuasaan. Tapi patut diteladani sebagai nasionalisme Indonesia. Tak dipungkiri lagi, Soekarno merupakan manusia yang kompleks, unik dan brilian dalam ide gagasannya. Bapak Bangsa yang sulit ditebak jalan pikirannya, penuh dengan sinkretisme ideologi, tetapi dibalik itu semua beliau hanya mengingankan Persatuan dan kesatuan Bangsanya. Dan Pancasila, merupakan salah satu dari sumbangsihnya untuk bangsa Indonesia tercinta.

Published: March 2023

Social networks play a crucial role in promoting healthy aging, yet the intricate mechanisms connecting social capital to health present a complex challenge. Additionally, the majority of social network analysis studies focusing on older adults typically concentrate on the participants' individual relationships, often overlooking the interconnections between these relationships. In this study, we went further than current ego-centered network studies by determining global social network metrics and the structure of relationships among older adult participants of the RECORD Cohort using the Veritas-Social questionnaire. The aim of this study is to identify key dimensions of social networks of older adults, and to evaluate how these dimensions relate to depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, and well-being. Using Principal Component Analyses (PCA), we identified four social network dimensions with psychological meanings. Dimension 1 (homophily) was positively linked with perceived accessibility to services in one’s residential neighborhood but this same dimension was negatively linked with the level of study (i.e., Bachelor, Master, PhD, etc.). Dimension 2 (social integration) and Dimension 3 (social support) were only linked to the number of people living (being in the same residence) with ego (i.e. the interviewed participant). Dimension 4 was linked with perceived accessibility to local services. Finally, and rather surprisingly, we found that none of the four network dimensions, even the degree, were linked to the three health status metrics.
A NEAR REAL-TIME TEPHRA FALLOUT RATE MODEL BY A SMALL-COMPACT X-BAND MULTI-PARAMETER RADAR
Authors: syarifuddin magfira
Published: March 2023

Real-time monitoring of volcanic tephra fallout rate is an important factor to predict ash plume dispersion and to mitigate risk to air traffic. Ground-based weather radar has been one of the fundamental instruments to detect the plume and derive eruptive source parameters, such as the tephra fallout rate. The current work presents the use of two small and compact X-band Multi-Parameter (X-MP) radars for a new tephra fallout rate model development and the technical aspects of the system in Sinabung and Merapi Volcanoes. The new model estimates the tephra fallout rate using two radar parameters: the specific differential phase shift parameter and the reflectivity intensity factor. Total cumulated mass estimated from the radar-based tephra fallout rate model from the radar is compared with the plume height model and an empirical radar-based model. A volcanic eruptive index (VEI)-2 of Sinabung generated a plume exceeding 15 km, resulting in a maximum tephra fallout rate of 0.58 kg m-2 h-1 and a total tephra mass of 51 106 kg. The VEI 1 of Sinabung caused a plume height of 2.5 km, resulting in a maximum tephra fallout rate of 0.3 kg m-2 h-1 and a total cumulated tephra of 9 106 kg. In the last case, a VEI 1 eruption of Mt. Merapi produces a 6 km plume, resulting in a maximum tephra fallout rate of 0.28 kg m-2 h-1 and a total cumulated tephra of 35 106 kg. The sector range height indicator scan-mode strategy in the VEI 2 eruption of Mt. Sinabung ran at six degrees azimuth angles capturing only a partial volume of the plume. Thus, the total mass was only 22 % of the result from the empirical plume height model, even though the plume height was assumed to be equally the same with the maximum height scanned of radar at 7 km. In contrast, the volumetric scan by a plan position indicator strategy gave a total cumulated tephra mass, that matches better to the result of the empirical plume height model at 65-92%. Based on these results and the ability of the X-MP radar to capture the volcanic plume at the same reported onset time, we can confirm the importance of an X-MP radar for real-time tephra fallout monitoring during an eruption.

Solving Big Data Based on Takeaways from Experiences with Small Data
Authors: Kotha Sathvika
Published: March 2023

With the rapid growth of digital technologies, the amount of data being generated and collected has increased dramatically, leading to the development of the concept of Big Data. Businesses must undergo a digital transformation and equip themselves to extract the maximum value from this data. Techniques for data analytics can be applied to improve strategic decision-making. Although the general goal of data analytics is largely invariant, the data itself can be found in many different forms and be categorized in a variety of circumstances. In this article, we investigate concepts like ”small” and ”big” data, analyze their characteristics, and consider how they can be valuable. The study specifically looks into the issue of ”How can we solve Big Data now if we couldn’t solve small data in the past?”. The paper highlights the advantages of taking a systematic approach to data analysis and the importance of considering the context and structure of the data when developing big data solutions. Based on the findings, this paper posits that firms may still benefit from big data with the correct technology and corporate strategy, regardless of how small data may have been used.

Warm air intrusions over Arctic sea ice can rapidly change the snow and ice surfaceconditions and can alter sea ice concentration (SIC) estimates derived from satellite-based microwave radiometry without altering the true SIC.Here we focus on two warm moist air intrusions that produced surface glazing duringthe Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC)expedition that reached the research vessel Polarstern in mid-April 2020. After theevents, we observe increased SIC deviations between different satellite products,including climate data records, and especially an underestimation of SIC for algorithmsbased on polarization difference.To examine the causes of this underestimation, we use the extensive MOSAiC snowand ice measurements to computationally model the brightness temperatures of thesurface on a local scale. We further investigate the brightness temperatures observedby ground-based radiometers at frequencies 6.9 GHz, 19 GHz and 89 GHz.We show that the drop in the retrieved sea ice concentration of some satellite productscan be attributed to large-scale surface glazing, i.e., the formation of a thin ice crust atthe top of the snowpack, caused by the warming events.Another mechanism affecting satellite products which are mainly based on gradientratios of brightness temperatures, is the interplay of the changed temperature gradientin the snow and snow metamorphism.From the two analyzed climate data record products, one is less affected by thewarming events.The low frequency channels at 6.9 GHz were less sensitive to these snow surfacechanges, which could be exploited in future retrievals of sea ice concentration.
Measuring Electoral Democracy with Observables

Most crossnational indices of democracy rely centrally on coder judgments, which are susceptible to personal bias and error, and also require expensive and time-consuming coding by experts. The few measures based exclusively on observable indicators are either dichotomous or rely on a few rather crude proxies. This project lays out an approach to measurement based on observables that aims to preserve the nuanced quality of subjectively coded democracy indices. First, we gather data for a wide range of observable indicators, X´, that capture different aspects of the democratic process. Next, we use supervised random forest machine learning to predict Z using factual indicators, X´, creating an observable-to-subjective score mapping (OSM). The mapping that provides the best cross-validated fit to the outcome serves as an alternate index, Z´, for that conceptualization of democracy.Information loss from Z to Z´ is minimal for indices centered on an electoral conception of democracy and this loss may be advantageous for some purposes. It is free of idiosyncratic coder errors arising from misinformation, slack, or biases for or against a regime. It is also less susceptible to systematic bias that may arise from coders’ inferences about a country’s regime status, e.g., from the ideology of the current ruler. The data collection procedure and mode of analysis is fully transparent and replicable, and the procedure is cheap to produce, easy to update, and offers coverage for all polities with sovereign or semisovereign status, surpassing the sample of any existing index. We show that this expansive coverage makes a big difference to our understanding of some causal questions.
