Grid Satellite Rainfall Products Potential Application for Developing I-D and E-D Thresholds for Landslide Early Alert System over Bali Island
Authors: Aryastana Putu
Published: May 2023

Bali has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia. However, on the other hand, Bali has a high risk of natural disaster vulnerability. The number of landslides in Bali took the first position compared to other natural disasters. Currently, remote sensing platforms can present Grid Satellite Rainfall Products (GSRPs), which provide rainfall information that can identify rainfall conditions for landslide events. This study aims to analyze the potential GSRPs application of Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information Using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN), the Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG), and Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) in determining the mean rainfall intensities and duration (I-D); accumulated rainfall and duration (E-D) thresholds for landslide occurrences over Bali Island. The method used to develop I-D and E-D thresholds is the power-law equation and frequentist sampling method in various probability levels (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%). The result shows that I-D and E-D thresholds established by GSRPs are generally lower than the threshold defined by rain gauge observations. Among the three GSRPs, IMERG is performing the best in establishing the I-D and E-D thresholds for landslide phenomena. The level of potential that IMERG can use in developing the I-D and E-D thresholds is 59.16% and 84.06%, respectively. The E-D threshold derived from the IMERG product can be used to establish the landslide early alert system over Bali Island because it has a high spatial-temporal resolution, word-wide coverage, and near-real-time observation.
Base Course Stabilization Performance Using Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers and Their Effect on Water Quality Standards
Authors: Widarto Rustam , Suparma Latif Budi , Siswosukarto Suprapto
Published: May 2023

The road is the main gateway to human life and links essential access points. Some structure pavement failures happened due to the base layer's instability. Fly ash has been used in several parts of pavement structures to increase stability. One significant concern with using fly ash in base course stabilization is its proportion and potential impact on water quality standards. This research aimed to evaluate base course stabilization performance using fly ash-based geopolymers, as well as assess their impact on water quality standards. Materials in this study consisted of aggregate, fly ash, water, and alkaline reagent solutions. The variation of mix considered with a variety of alkaline reagents, namely without alkaline reagents, 3 mol, 6 mol, 9 mol, and 12 mol of NaOH. The ratio between NaOH and Na2SiO3 is 1:2. The use of fly ash in the class A aggregate base course layer has not been able to meet specifications. However, by providing 9 mol of alkaline reagent, the strength of the mixture increases so that the CBR value meets the specifications due to geopolymer bonding. When the alkaline reagent solution becomes more concentrated, the optimum water content decreases, and the bond between aggregates strengthens. The effect of alkaline reagents on water quality standards increases the acidity (pH) value, while other parameters such as BOD, COD, and TSS still meet the standards. This research point to another practical approach that is effective in the field to increase the stability of the base course layer and is environmentally friendly.

Euthanasia of Neonatal Rats and Mice using Carbon Monoxide
Authors: Hickman Debra L
Published: May 2023

Minimization of potential pain and distress of rodents undergoing euthanasia is a touchstone of veterinary clinical medicine. Evaluation of this issue in postweanling rodents has supported revisions to the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) Guidelines on Euthanasia in 2020.
However, relatively little information is available on humane aspects of anesthesia and euthanasia in neonatal mice and rats. These neonates are not reliably euthanized by exposure to commonly used inhalant anesthetic agents due to their physiologic adaptations to hypercapnic environments.
Therefore, options such as prolonged inhalant anesthetic gas exposure, decapitation, or use of injectable anesthetics are recommended for neonates. All of these recommended methods have operational implications, ranging from reported job dissatisfaction by animal care staff to rigorous reporting
requirements associated with the use of controlled substances. This lack of a euthanasia method that does not entail operational issues hampers the ability of veterinary professionals to provide appropriate guidance to scientists working with neonates. This study was designed to assess the
effectiveness of carbon monoxide (CO) as an alternative euthanasia agent for mouse and rat pups on postnatal days (PND) 0 to 12. The study demonstrates that CO may be a potential alternative for preweanling mice and rats at PND6 or older but is not appropriate for neonates at PND5 or younger.
The Effect of Stunting on Children's Cognitive Development : Systematic Review
Authors: Rambe Nova Linda , Hutabarat Eva Nirwana , Hafifah Rizki
Published: May 2023

The term stunting refers to an intellectual disorder characterized by mental abilities that reflect past nutritional status and a decline in development in children caused by chronic malnutrition. This can lead to stunted growth in children. Which can have a negative impact on the physical and mental development of children and subsequent learning abilities. Stunting is caused by various interacting factors, including poor sanitation and various other factors related to health, but the main cause is inadequate diet (total calories and essential nutrients), especially in the first 1,000 days. Malnutrition is an important determinant of maternal and child health, with significant negative effects on children's brain and cognitive development. This criterion uses original articles published in English and Indonesian. Articles published within the last 10 years. The review method uses a systematic review using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis) with Systematic Review obtained from the Pubmed database, Scient direct, Wiley. This study went through four stages, namely identification, screening, feasibility and results received. This is so that the problem of stunting in children's cognitive development can be solved.

Published: May 2023

В настоящее время определены морфофункциональные, клеточные и молекулярно-генетические механизмы регенерации, при этом местное лечение ран различной этиологии продолжает оставаться проблемной областью здравоохранения, что определяет актуальность поиска лекарственных средств для стимуляции процессов регенерации (репарации) тканей. Молекулярный механизм действия тиреоидных гормонов относительно недавно был дополнен негеномными эффектами, заключающимися в воздействии йодотиронинов на интегрин ανβ3 (CD51/CD61), что приводит к активации митоген-активируемой протеинкиназы, фосфатидилинозитол-3-киназы и Src-киназы. Мембрано-инициируемые эффекты тиреоидных гормонов активируют клеточную пролиферацию, ангиогенез и миграцию клеток, включая мезенхимальные стволовые клетки, что имеет ключевое значение для репаративной регенерации. Гормоны щитовидной железы также оказывают влияние на физиологию эпидермиса и волосяных фолликулов, пигментацию, экспрессию кератина. Местная гормональная терапия йодтиронинами и/или синтетическими лигандами ядерных или мембранных рецепторов тиреоидных гормонов имеет широкий потенциал для клинического применения. В настоящем обзоре представлены экспериментальные данные о лечении ран йодтиронинами, что заслуживает дальнейшего доклинического и клинического изучения для использования в качестве недорогого, эффективного и широко доступного лекарственного средства.
Makan sebagai sarana pengasuhan, persekutuan, dan hospitalitas: Sebuah konstruksi Teologi Makan dengan lensa trinitarian
Authors: Winarjo Hendra
Published: May 2023

This article raises the issue of eating, which is rarely discussed theologically, while the issue of eating has been widely discussed in various other disciplines. This article aims to construct a theology of eating through the lens of Trinitarian theology of eating. Using the doctrine of the Trinity as a lens to re-understand the theological meaning of eating, I argue that the theological meaning of eating is a means of nurturing, communion, and hospitality. This article uses a constructive theology method with a qualitative approach that examines various kinds of literature that discuss the doctrine of the Trinity and eating and the relationship between the two variables to construct a Trinitarian theology of eating. The results of this study indicate that the meaning of eating should not be reduced to merely satisfying hunger because eating is a means through which God nurtures human life and establish communion and hospitality between individuals and even with God himself. AbstrakArtikel ini mengangkat masalah makan yang jarang dibahas secara teologis, sedangkan masalah makan telah banyak dibahas di berbagai disiplin ilmu yang lain. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk mengkonstruksi sebuah teologi makan dengan lensa teologi makan Trinitarian. Dengan menggunakan doktrin Trinitas sebagai lensa untuk memahami kembali makna makan secara teologis, saya berargumen bahwa makna teologis dari makan adalah sebagai sarana pengasuhan, persekutuan, dan keramahtamahan. Artikel ini menggunakan metode berteologi konstruktif dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang mengkaji berbagai literatur yang membahas tentang doktrin Trinitas dan makan, dan juga hubungan antara kedua variabel tersebut dalam rangka mengkonstruksi sebuah teologi makan Trinitarian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa makna makan tidak boleh direduksi sekadar memuaskan rasa lapar karena makan adalah sarana yang melaluinya Allah mengasuh kehidupan manusia, dan menjalin persekutuan serta keramahan antar pribadi dan bahkan dengan Allah sendiri.

Published: May 2023

Project-based learning gives young learners an opportunity to combine the literacy of words, grammar, numbers, into productive speech and writing. In implementing a 21st century approach to developing literacy through the project-based learning, teachers need to create a learning situation which has curiosity and gives the young learners a real creative reason to learn. To do this, learning activity was set up in creative interesting projects a round. Each project has several set of creation that the young learners are led to practice with, so that they can find out more about literacy creatively by themselves. They collaborated with other learners to compare, contrast and share their learning experiences and discoveries. Finally, they made the projects creatively, displayed and presented them in groups. So, they have to be creative and innovative in creating and setting the projects through projects learning as well as to analyze and evaluate young learners’ literacy competence. Through Project-Based Learning, teachers of young learners at Kindergarten of TK Asa’adah Limo-Cinere can develop their ability to produce and communicate their literacy competence which is later can be implemented for their young learners there. They worked to define and organize ideas, inspire new topics, imagine the stories to tell, they are able to manage conceptual-problems better than those taught in common learning of literacy as well. In this case, they can write workbook or handbook for their young learners. The training of train teachers by implementing ‘21st century skills’ into the lesson of literacy, ideas, such as collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication are becoming effective and extraordinary purpose for the lesson itself.

In Online learning carried out today due to the Covid 19 Pandemic is an obstacle for students and teachers in practicum activities. Practicum activities that are usually carried out face-to-face in the laboratory become stopped and cannot be done. Therefore, a solution is needed to keep the practical activities of physics running. One of them is by using a physics practicum with crocodile physics. Raising the above issues, then our PKM-PM Team conducted community service activities in the form of Virtual Experiment Physics Training using Crocodile Physics which was carried out at Sma Negeri 3 Jakarta school. The implementation methods used are socialization, training and mentoring. The result of this training is to create a simulation of the physics practicum itself using Crocodile Physics.  This activity gets a positive response based on knowledge needs. By using this virtual practicum has been able to provide knowledge benefits to the physics learning process. This training becomes a reference for trainees to carry out practicum activities virtually in online learning today.

Reducing bias in secondary data analysis via an Explore and Confirm Analysis Workflow (ECAW): A proposal and survey of observational researchers
Authors: Thibault Robert T. , Kovacs Marton , Hardwicke Tom Elis , Sarafoglou Alexandra , Ioannidis John P.A. , Munafo Marcus Robert
Published: May 2023

Background. Although preregistration can reduce researcher bias and increase transparency in primary research settings, it is less applicable to secondary data analysis. An alternative method that affords additional protection from researcher bias, which cannot be gained from conventional forms of preregistration alone, is an Explore and Confirm Analysis Workflow (ECAW). In this workflow, a data management organization initially provides access to only a subset of their dataset to researchers who request it. The researchers then prepare an analysis script based on the subset of data, upload the analysis script to a registry, and then receive access to the full dataset. ECAWs aim to achieve similar goals as preregistration, but make access to the full dataset contingent on compliance. The present survey aimed to garner information from the research community where ECAWs could be applied—employing the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) as a case example. Methods. We emailed a web-based survey to researchers who had previously applied for access to ALSPAC’s transgenerational observational dataset.Results. We received 103 responses, for a 9% response rate. The results suggest that—at least among our sample of respondents—ECAWs hold the potential to serve their intended purpose and appear relatively acceptable. For example, only 10% of respondents disagreed that ALSPAC should run a study on ECAWs (versus 55% who agreed). However, as many as 26% of respondents agreed that they would be less willing to use ALSPAC data if they were required to use an ECAW (versus 45% who disagreed). Conclusion. Our data and findings provide information for organizations and individuals interested in implementing ECAWs and related interventions.
Spatial optimality and temporal variability in Australia's wind resource
Authors: Gunn Andrew , Dargaville Roger , Jakob Christian , McGregor Shayne
Published: May 2023

To meet electricity demand using renewable energy supply, wind farm locations should be chosen to minimise variability in output, especially at night when solar photovoltaics cannot be relied upon. Wind farm location must balance grid-proximity, resource potential, and wind correlation between farms. A top-down planning approach for farm locations can mitigate demand unmet by wind supply, yet the present Australian wind energy market has bottom-up short-term planning. Here we show a computationally tractable method for optimising farm locations to maximise total supply. We find that Australia’s currently operational and planned wind farms produce less power with more variability than a hypothetical optimal set of farms with equivalent capacity within 100 km of the AEMO grid. Regardless of the superior output, this hypothetical set is still subject to variability due to large-scale weather correlated with climate modes (i.e., El Niño). We study multiple scenarios and highlight several internationally transferable planning implications.
Internalized Racism and Psychological Distress in a Racially Diverse Sample: Collective Self-Esteem as a Moderator
Authors: Sanders Steven Michael , Williams Tiffany R. , Berry April T. , Mitchell Jazlyn M. , Martin Reniece , Jones Paigean
Published: May 2023

Internalized racism is a phenomenon that racial minorities experience when they accept racist ideologies, or myths informed by colonization, about their ethnic or racial group membership. The internalization of beliefs about racism and colonization contribute to the acceptance of negative messaging or stereotypical misrepresentations that inform perceptions about worth and ability. Internalized racism is associated with psychological distress racially diverse people. Collective self-esteem is a potential protective factor that can serve as a moderator in reducing distress and facilitating psychological well-being. The sample for this study consisted of 526 participants who self-identified as African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Latinx American, or American of Arab or Middle Eastern Descent. The researchers used structural equation modeling to investigate the potential moderating properties of collective self-esteem on the relationship between internalized racism and psychological distress in a racially diverse sample. The findings indicated that specific domains of collective self-esteem moderated the internalized racism - psychological distress relationship. Our study is one of the first to examine the relationships between internalized racism and psychological distress for people who self-identify as Arab/MENA and adds to a growing body of research that investigates the psychological impacts of internalized racism and the protective effects of collective self-esteem for people who self-identify as African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and Latinx.
The Rescorla-Wagner model, prediction error, and fear learning
Authors: McNally Gavan P. , Yau Joanna Oi-Yue
Published: May 2023

The Rescorla-Wagner model remains one of the most important and influential theoretical accounts of the conditions under which Pavlovian learning occurs. Moreover, the experimental approaches that inspired the model continue to provide powerful behavioral tools to advance mechanistic understanding of how we and other animals learn to fear and learn to reduce fear. Here we consider key features of the Rescorla-Wagner model as applied to study of fear learning. We review evidence for key insights of the model. First, learning to fear and learning to reduce fear are governed by a common, signed prediction error. Second, this error drives variations in effectiveness of the shock US that are causal to whether and how much fear is learned or lost during a conditioning trial. We also consider behavioral and neural findings inconsistent with the model and which will be essential to understand and advance understanding of fear learning.
Testing the Theory of Good Thinking and Deciding in Organizational Setting: Many Benefits of Leader’s Actively Open-minded Thinking
Authors: Erceg Nikola , Galic Zvonimir , Šiber Anđela Buljan
Published: May 2023

The aim of this work was to test the theory of good thinking and deciding in organizational context by examining the relationships between leaders’ actively open-minded thinking (AOT) and different employee level outcomes. Across two studies in which we surveyed managers and their subordinates, we have shown that manager’s AOT positively correlated with subordinate-rated decision-making quality and intellectual humility of their superiors, as well as with subordinates’ ratings of their teams’ psychological safety and their own job satisfaction and feeling of organizational support. We conclude that AOT is the disposition that predisposes some managers to patterns of thinking and behavior that are observable and highly valued by their subordinates, resulting in a range of beneficial outcomes for employees, and that it might be worthwhile to investigate how we can teach managers to think in more an actively open-minded way.
Disentangling Effort from Probability of Success: Theta Oscillatory Dynamics Reveal the Role of Medial Prefrontal Cortex in Effort-Based Reward
Authors: Lopez-Gamundi Paula , Marco-Pallares Josep , Herrero Ernest Mas
Published: May 2023

The ability to weigh a reward against the cost of acquiring it is critical for decision-making. While the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been implicated in tracking both mental effort demands and net value of rewards, these findings primarily come from choice paradigms that confound increased task difficulty with decreased reward probability. To resolve this issue, we designed novel tasks that kept probability of success – and therefore probability of reward – constant between levels of effort demand. In two experiments, participants completed a novel effort-based reward task that manipulated effort demand and either reward magnitude or probability of success. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data was recorded to compare an electrophysiological index of mPFC function (frontal midline theta (FMT)) to an index of incentive salience (component P3) at both cue evaluation and feedback phases. We found no evidence that FMT tracked effort demands or net value during cue evaluation. At feedback, however, FMT power was enhanced for high compared to low effort trials, but not modulated by reward magnitude or probability. Conversely, P3 was sensitive to reward magnitude and probability at both cue and feedback phases and only integrated expended effort costs at feedback, such that P3 amplitudes continued to scale with reward magnitude and probability but were also increased for high compared to low effort reward feedback. These findings suggest that, in the absence of option comparison and unequal likelihood of success, the mPFC does not track net value of prospective effort-based rewards. Instead, expended cognitive effort potentiates FMT power and enhances the saliency of rewards at feedback.

Resultados: Se evidenció que las patologías cardiovasculares más frecuentes que coexisten en pacientes con DE (disfunción eréctil) son: en un 62% infarto agudo de miocardio, 44% asociada a eventos cardiovasculares, 39% accidentes cerebrovasculares y aumento de la mortalidad en el 25%. El tiempo de aparición de enfermedad cardiovascular luego de presentar una disfunción eréctil en hombres es alrededor de 3 a 5 años (con una media de 4 años) lo que favorece un período crucial para la identificación de esta patología y la prevención de enfermedades con alta mortalidad.
Conclusiones: Existe buena evidencia con respecto a la disfunción eréctil como indicador de enfermedad cardiovascular por lo que se considera a la disfunción eréctil como un factor independiente de predecir un evento cardiovascular a posterior de la presentación clínica y viceversa, asociándose como una entidad clínica con gran valor en la actualidad, favoreciendo a la prevención inmediata luego de dicho hallazgo por lo que es importante concientizar el valor de acudir tempranamente a consulta.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar a influência de princípios de escritório enxuto (Lean Office) em investigações criminais no formato de operações especiais. A pesquisa possui caráter descritivo-exploratório, abordagem quantitativa e método Survey, cuja coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário on-line. A amostra válida foi composta de 139 respostas de policiais que trabalham em investigações criminais. A análise de dados foi realizada por meio da análise fatorial exploratória e regressão linear múltipla. O processo de operações especiais vêm sendo melhorado continuamente desde a década de 1980. Os resultados sugerem que a eficiência nesse tipo de processo, é influenciada positivamente pela adoção da produção autorizada em equipes com maior poder e responsabilidade, menor interferência da supervisão, e pela identificação e eliminação de desperdícios, ou atividades que não agregam valor ao usuário final. O tamanho da equipe, a organização física do escritório e a rotação de liderança não influenciam significativamente a eficiência. Portanto, as organizações de investigação criminal podem melhorar seus processos buscando a investigação policial enxuta.
Criptomoedas como moeda paralela: apontamentos entre a liberdade financeira e o (des)controle estatal no combate e repressão à lavagem de dinheiro
Authors: Horchel Claudia Garcia
Published: May 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma compreensão dinâmica da utilização de criptomoedas, notadamente o Bitcoin e o seu sistema Blockchain, como ferramenta na prática do crime de lavagem de dinheiro. Ao mesmo tempo, pretende-se relativizar a noção, de certa forma predominante, de que a moeda virtual seria uma facilitadora da prática do delito de lavagem de ativos. É evidente que a falta de regulamentação – ou (des)controle – governamental no uso de moedas digitais pode ser um importante fator de estímulo à expansão desse grave delito transnacional. Entretanto, ainda não existe um consenso sobre o tema e muito menos o reconhecimento estatal e a classificação jurídica do ativo em análise. Para tal, o estudo utiliza, como metodologia principal, a pesquisa descritiva e a análise das últimas investigações feitas por especialistas. Tem o propósito nuclear de instigar a reflexão do leitor trazendo uma informação organizada. Revela que as regulações Estatais e Internacionais são insuficientes para o rastreamento eficaz do delito em comento. Evidencia ainda que as moedas digitais não são o melhor atrativo para a criminalidade organizada branquear seus ativos, não existindo dados que apontem a expansão do delito com o uso de Bitcoins. Portanto, requer repensar as falhas da regulação legal e investigação criminal sem suprimir essa nova cibereconomia, respeitando a liberdade financeira da sociedade civil e os novos contributos trazidos pelas criptomoedas e pela tecnologia de segurança do Blockchain.
