Published: September 2020

Abstract
One factor that influences the water balance on earth is the presence of the rain factors. The Hydrological cycle is a process of water that is evaporated and if the atmosphere allows, water will fall as rain. Interception is an important factor in the hydrological cycle. With the process of interception, rain water that reaches the ground surface becomes reduced. The amount of interception is influenced by land use in a sub-watershed. This research was conducted in the Krueng Jreu sub-watershed, located in Aceh Besar District with an area of 23,189.53 Ha. Land use at this location is generally intended for plantations, wetland agriculture, protected forests, and rural settlements. Most of the citizen around the research location, work as farmers, such as farmers of rice, corn, peanuts, oil palm, and others. In comparison to all types of plants, corn is one of the dominant plants developed in this area. The purpose of this research is to find out the value of interception in maize plants. The value of interception in maize plants aged 1-3 months was analyzed by making a Mini Hydrological Watershed model to obtain a regression equation, where this equation is used to see the interception of maize intercepts on rainwater rainfall observations of 19 variants of observational data from 3 months of research. The amount of interception in maize plants obtained based on the Mini Hydrology Watershed model with logarithmatic regression is 17.62 mm from 205.950 mm of total rainfall.

Abstract
West Sumatera Province has been known as one of the high seismic-prone areas in Indonesia. In this area, peoples commonly use the brick masonry as infill in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame structures. Field investigation after the earthquake informed that there were many bricks masonry infill collapsed caused by the earthquake motion. In this study, a simple and safe brick masonry infill construction in the RC frame structure is proposed for applying in the high seismic-prone area such as West Sumatera. The proposed construction method was defined based on the experimental works of the three 1/4 reduced-scale singe-bay and single-story RC frame specimens. The specimens include one specimen of RC frame infilled with brick masonry, one specimen of RC frame infilled with strengthened brick masonry by using chicken wire mesh, and one specimen of RC frame infilled with brick masonry infill and anchored to the columns with plain steel rebars. The wire mesh was sewn on both sides of the diagonal area of the brick masonry infill. All the specimens have subjected to lateral static reversed loading. The structural test results have shown that the strengthening using the chicken wire mesh increase the lateral strength of the RC frame about 22.%, while the use of the plain rebars anchor decreases the lateral strength about 1.8% and both methods can delay the failure of the brick masonry infill.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Disaster preparedness from the builder is crucial due to the increase of earthquake vulnerability in Padang City. To ensure that the house is built following the concept of an earthquake-resistant non-engineered house must be followed in building the house to secure and minimizes the risk of casualties and losses caused by the earthquake. Previous experience shows that technical factors are not enough to increase the awareness of the builders. It requires non-technical factors that may play a significant role in disaster reduction in the community. That is why this study intends to identify builder perception about indicators of earthquake-resistant non-engineered house development and its implementation in the field. Questionnaires are used to gather the data to 30 housing projects in Padang City. In general, all statements about the concept of earthquake-resistant houses are strongly considered by the builders. However, it does not implement in the field run smoothly. Many construction practices found did not meet the principles. Government and stakeholder participation are needed to enhance the competency and knowledge of the homeowners and builders.
The effect of fishbone fiber and rice husk ash additive on the mechanical properties of normal concrete
Authors: Damayanti S , Aulia T B , Hayati Y 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Concrete is a material that strong in holding compression force but weak in holding tension force so reinforcement is needed to prevent cracks in the pull region. Tuna bone fibers work as reinforcement, which is expected to overcome the problem of brittle concrete and produce ductile concrete. To improve concrete performance, fibers and additives are used. Tuna bone fibers and rice husk ash additives were selected to be able to utilize local natural materials. The purpose of this study is to examine the mechanical properties of normal concrete, which include compressive strength and tensile strength, by adding fiber and ash additives. The percentage of fibers added is 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of volume of concrete, and the percentage of additives is 0%, 10%, and 15% of weight of cement. Compression tests were performed to a total of 90 pieces of objects at 7, 28, and 56 days of age. Split tensile tests were performed to a total of 60 pieces of objects at the 28 and 56 days of age. The maximum compressive strength at 7, 28, and 56 days of age are 31.45 MPa, 36.81 MPa, and 41.16 MPa, respectively which were produced by variation BNS1 (BN+fiber 0.5%). The maximum tensile strength at 28 and 56 days of age are 4.08 MPa and 4.12 MPa; respectively which were produced by variation of BNS2 (BN+fiber 1%). All specimens at 7, 28, and 56 days of age produce concrete compressive strength on average 20 MPa of concrete above so that it is categorized into structural concrete.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
The conversion of lowland area into special economic zones at Tanjung Api-Api will trigger environmental degradations, one of which is land subsidence. Land subsidence potential is caused by several natural environmental factors, which are soil type, soft soil thickness, topography, geological conditions, and rainfall, and non-natural factors, which are caused by land use or land cover, groundwater extraction, building density and others. Multicriteria analysis was conducted to obtain the weight of each factor, then the factor was overlayed to determine the level of land subsidence based on land use or land cover. Spatial analysis has been done to many factors causing land subsidence. The results showed that industrial estates and housing areas have a high potential for land subsidence. Mitigation efforts must be carried out to reduce severe land subsidence at the built-up area.
MOSAIC: a joint modeling methodology for combined circadian and non-circadian analysis of multi-omics data
Authors: De los Santos Hannah , Bennett Kristin P , Hurley Jennifer M 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Motivation
Circadian rhythms are approximately 24-h endogenous cycles that control many biological functions. To identify these rhythms, biological samples are taken over circadian time and analyzed using a single omics type, such as transcriptomics or proteomics. By comparing data from these single omics approaches, it has been shown that transcriptional rhythms are not necessarily conserved at the protein level, implying extensive circadian post-transcriptional regulation. However, as proteomics methods are known to be noisier than transcriptomic methods, this suggests that previously identified arrhythmic proteins with rhythmic transcripts could have been missed due to noise and may not be due to post-transcriptional regulation.

Results
To determine if one can use information from less-noisy transcriptomic data to inform rhythms in more-noisy proteomic data, and thus more accurately identify rhythms in the proteome, we have created the Multi-Omics Selection with Amplitude Independent Criteria (MOSAIC) application. MOSAIC combines model selection and joint modeling of multiple omics types to recover significant circadian and non-circadian trends. Using both synthetic data and proteomic data from Neurospora crassa, we showed that MOSAIC accurately recovers circadian rhythms at higher rates in not only the proteome but the transcriptome as well, outperforming existing methods for rhythm identification. In addition, by quantifying non-circadian trends in addition to circadian trends in data, our methodology allowed for the recognition of the diversity of circadian regulation as compared to non-circadian regulation.

The effects of terrorist incidents on public worry of future attacks, views of the police and social cohesion
Authors: Fenn Liam , Brunton-Smith Ian 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Despite a growing body of research examining the psychological effects of terrorist incidents, there remains comparatively little empirical assessment of their impacts on citizens’ worry about further attacks, perceptions of the police or social cohesion. Drawing on interviews with nearly 100,000 London residents, we find higher levels of worry following most domestic attacks. Improvements in overall ratings of the police are tempered by more negative assessments of their ability to handle future threats. We also find that far-right incidents are less closely linked to changes in public ratings of the police and concerns about future attacks compared to Islamic terror attacks. Effects on social cohesion are less predictable. We find reductions in cohesion following some attacks but increases following others.
The Micro–Macro Nexus: Rethinking the Relationship between Social Work, Social Policy and Wider Policy in a Changing World
Authors: Lombard Antoinette , Viviers André 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
To remain relevant in a rapidly changing society, social work must ensure that policies respond timeously and justly to mitigate the impact of continuous change on individuals, families, communities and the wider society. This requires rethinking social work’s role in shaping policy in a broader context to address a new order, going beyond social welfare and social policy. In this conceptual article, the authors argue that to be relevant in the twenty-first century, social work has to adopt a transformative social policy approach, including policy advocacy. Furthermore, social work should contribute to policy transformation at the micro–macro nexus, where social justice can be promoted at the local and global, the personal and political levels. Policy transformation for just societies promotes economic prosperity and environmental sustainability; hence, social work must embrace a developmental approach embedded in a human rights-based framework that contributes to sustainable development. Social work education plays a critical role in preparing graduates to transform policy through advocacy practice and critical pedagogy. The article concludes that social work needs to expand its role from predominantly focusing on social policy to a wider policy scope that embraces social, economic and environmental justice which contributes to sustainable development.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
In preoperative planning for neurosurgery, both anatomical (diffusion imaging tractography) and functional tools (MR-navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation) are increasingly used to identify and preserve eloquent language structures specific to individuals. Using these tools in healthy adults shows that speech production errors occur mainly in perisylvian cortical sites that correspond to subject-specific terminations of the major language pathway, the arcuate fasciculus. It is not clear whether this correspondence remains in oncological patients with altered tissue. We studied a heterogeneous cohort of 30 patients (fourteen male, mean age 44), undergoing a first or second surgery for a left hemisphere brain tumour in a language-eloquent region, to test whether speech production errors induced by preoperative transcranial magnetic stimulation had consistent anatomical correspondence to the arcuate fasciculus. We used navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation during picture naming and recorded different perisylvian sites where transient interference to speech production occurred. Spherical deconvolution diffusion imaging tractography was performed to map the direct fronto-temporal and indirect (fronto-parietal and parieto-temporal) segments of the arcuate fasciculus in each patient. Speech production errors were reported in all patients when stimulating the frontal lobe, and in over 90% of patients in the parietal lobe. Errors were less frequent in the temporal lobe (54%). In all patients, at least one error site corresponded to a termination of the arcuate fasciculus, particularly in the frontal and parietal lobes, despite distorted anatomy due to a lesion and/or previous resection. Our results indicate that there is strong correspondence between terminations of the arcuate fasciculus and speech errors. This indicates that white matter anatomy may be a robust marker for identifying functionally eloquent cortex, particularly in the frontal and parietal lobe. This knowledge may improve targets for preoperative mapping of language in the neurosurgical setting.

Abstract

Background
Establishment and improvement of glomerular filtration rate estimating equations requires accurate and precise laboratory measurement procedures (MPs) for filtration markers. The Advanced Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (ARDL) at the University of Minnesota, which has served as the central laboratory for the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration since 2009, has implemented several quality assurance measures to monitor the accuracy and stability of filtration marker assays over time.

Methods
To assess longitudinal stability for filtration marker assays, a 40-sample calibration panel was created using pooled serum, divided into multiple frozen aliquots stored at −80 °C. ARDL monitored 4 markers—creatinine, cystatin C, beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) and beta-trace protein—measuring 15 calibration panel aliquots from 2009 to 2019. Initial target values were established using the mean of the first 3 measurements performed in 2009–10, and differences from target were monitored over time. New MPs for cystatin C and B2M were added in 2012, with target values established using the first measurement.

Results
The mean percentage difference from mean target values across time was &lt;2% for all original MPs (−0.59% for creatinine; −0.94% for cystatin C; −0.82% for B2M; 1.24% for beta-trace protein).

Conclusions
Close monitoring of filtration marker trends with a calibration panel at ARDL demonstrates remarkable long-term stability of the MPs. Routine use of a calibration panel for both research studies and clinical care is recommended for filtration markers where longitudinal monitoring is important to detect analytical biases, which can mask or confound true clinical trends in patients.

Abstract

Background
The aim of this study was to define clusters of activity in a population-based cohort during the first 5 years after diagnosis in children with ulcerative colitis [UC] and to identify early prognostic risk factors.

Methods
All UC patients from the SIGENP IBD registry with a complete follow-up of at least 5 years were included. Active disease was defined every 6 months in the presence of at least one of the following: clinical activity [Paediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index ≥ 35]; endoscopic activity [Mayo score ≥ 1]; faecal calprotectin &gt; 250 µg/g; hospitalization; surgery; or treatment escalation. Formula-based clusters were generated based on four published questionnaire-based activity patterns in adults, plus one additional cluster.

Results
In total, 226 patients were identified. Forty-two [19%] had moderate–severe chronically active disease, 31 [14%] chronic–intermittent, 75 [33%] quiescent, 54 [24%] active disease in the first 2 years after the diagnosis, then sustained remission, and 24 [11%] a remission in the first 2 years then an active disease. Mild disease onset along with a lower clinical severity not requiring the use of corticosteroids at 6 months were related to a quiescent disease course at the next follow-up (logistic model area under the curve 0.86 [95% confidence interval 0.78–0.94]; positive predictive value 67%; negative predictive value 70%). Eight per cent of patients needed surgery, none in the quiescent group [p = 0.04].

Conclusions
More than one-third of children with UC present with a chronically active or intermittent course during the first 5 years of follow-up. A significant group of patients has active disease in the first 2 years and then sustained remission. Interestingly, after initial treatment, one-third of patients have well-controlled disease throughout.

Abstract
Members of the predatory Myxococcales (myxobacteria) possess large genomes, undergo multicellular development, and produce diverse secondary metabolites, which are being actively prospected for novel drug discovery. To direct such efforts, it is important to understand the relationships between myxobacterial ecology, evolution, taxonomy, and genomic variation.
This study investigated the genomes and pan-genomes of organisms within the Myxococcaceae, including the genera Myxococcus and Corallococcus, the most abundant myxobacteria isolated from soils. Previously, ten species of Corallococcus were known, whereas six species of Myxococcus phylogenetically surrounded a third genus (Pyxidicoccus) composed of a single species. Here, we describe draft genome sequences of five novel species within the Myxococcaceae (Myxococcus eversor, Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis, Myxococcus vastator, Pyxidicoccus caerfyrddinensis, and Pyxidicoccus trucidator) and for the Pyxidicoccus type species strain, Pyxidicoccus fallax DSM 14698T. Genomic and physiological comparisons demonstrated clear differences between the five novel species and every other Myxococcus or Pyxidicoccus spp. type strain.
Subsequent analyses of type strain genomes showed that both the Corallococcus pan-genome and the combined Myxococcus and Pyxidicoccus (Myxococcus/Pyxidicoccus) pan-genome are large and open, but with clear differences. Genomes of Corallococcus spp. are generally smaller than those of Myxococcus/Pyxidicoccus spp. but have core genomes three times larger. Myxococcus/Pyxidicoccus spp. genomes are more variable in size, with larger and more unique sets of accessory genes than those of Corallococcus species. In both genera, biosynthetic gene clusters are relatively enriched in the shell pan-genomes, implying they grant a greater evolutionary benefit than other shell genes, presumably by conferring selective advantages during predation.

Published: September 2020

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesLoneliness is prevalent among older adults and known to be detrimental to mental health. The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Chinese 6-item De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in the older native and diasporic Chinese community.Research Design and MethodsParticipants were recruited from a local community in urban Tianjin, China and urban Chinese communities of older adults in the Netherlands. Scale properties, including reliability, were calculated with Cronbach’s alpha and multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis to examine the 2-dimensional structure of the scale and the cross-cultural equivalence between both countries. Item response analysis was employed to plot the relationships between the item response and expected total scale score.ResultsA total of 193 older adults from China and 135 older adults from the Netherlands were included. The Cronbach’s alphas were 0.68 (China) and 0.71 (the Netherlands). The DJGLS’s 2-dimensional structure was validated by the goodness of fit and the factor loadings. Cross-cultural equivalence was demonstrated with the multiple-group confirmatory analysis. In addition, sufficient discriminative power of the individual items was demonstrated by item response analysis in both countries.Discussion and ImplicationsThis study is the first to provide a detailed item behavior analysis with an item response analysis of the DJGLS. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that the DJGLS has an adequate and similar item and scalar equivalence for use in Chinese populations.
