Authors: Yani R. D. F. , Sumunar D. R. S. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Protection of human life sources is the main goal of disaster management. This paper examines the importance of modeling disasters in a mitigation perspective by tracking and recording flood occurrence. Mitigation is a benchmark for the success of a disaster information. Flood disaster modeling is one form of spatial-based disaster information. This study uses a hydrological approach as a flood analysis, the development of flood analysis in the form of a pool area calculation. The results of the study show that the characteristics of the area that are prone to flood disasters are strongly influenced by the watershed hirological conditions. Hydrological parameters have different influences in an area to form a flood- prone zone. The flood-prone area based on the return period of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 years has different zones. Spatial distribution of flood-prone areas is spread in most Cibeurem watersheds, especially located in Sidareja, Gandrungmangu, Kawunganten and Cipari districts.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Rembang Regency is one of the regencies located in coastal areas which have abundant marine. Rembang Regency is a coastal area that has abundant marine resource potential, besides that there are also threats of coastal abrasion and high erosion, so that efforts are needed to reduce the risk of coastal abrasion. Efforts to reduce abrasion risks carried out are ecosystem-based or Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (EcoDRR) through mangrove conservation. The purpose of this study was to determine mangrove conservation activities as a form of EcoDRR in Rembang Regency. Observation of the mangrove ecosystem is carried out by field observations, as well as secondary data collection. Interviews were conducted with communities, mangrove managers, and local governments to determine the extent to which EcoDRR with mangrove forest conservation had been carried out, as well as benefits and problems. The method used is descriptive explorative. The results showed that the types of abrasion mitigation efforts carried out in Rembang Regency based on natural ecosystems were more effective than artificial ecosystems. Disaster reduction efforts are based on natural ecosystems such as maximizing the presence of mangroves and the ecosystem in them.

Disaster Management Based on Geo-literacy
Authors: Alfi Nurandini B. , Mukminan  
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The large number of casualties and physical and material losses are opaque protests of the bad management of disasters in Indonesia. The impact of natural disasters in Indonesia should have been minimized and avoided considering that Indonesia is a disaster-prone country because it is located at the confluence of the three major plates of the world and is the ring of fire. The community is not familiar with the condition of the environment where they live is a major factor in the many casualties and losses due to disasters. By introducing people to geographic literacy, people can get to know the environment and manage disasters properly. This article will discuss the role of geographic literacy relating to understanding the community’s environment that can help manage disasters in pre-disaster, emergency response, and postdisaster actions in Indonesia.

Abstract
Gastropods communityin the Baburariverat Medan City were collected at Medan Johor and Medan Kota which consisted of 6 species of 96 ind., i.e. (1) Pomacea canaliculata [36 ind.], (2) Filopaludina javanica [5 ind.], (3) Lymnaea rubiginosa [2 ind.], (4) Tarebia granifera [11 ind.], (5) Melanoides tuberculata [35 ind.], and (6) Thiara scraba [7 ind.]. Total abundance was 39.0 ind./m2 in Medan Johor and 43.6 ind./m2 in Medan Kota. Diversity index (H’) was 0.897 in Medan Johor and 0.986 in Medan Kota, classified as low diversity and severe, equitability index (E) was 0.557 in Medan Johor, classified as moderate uniform and 0.711 in Medan Kota, classified as high uniform. Dominance index (C’) was 0.500 in Medan Johor and 0.463 in Medan Kota, both of which are moderately dominant. Gastropods were found to be influenced by physico-chemical parameters of water. The parameters which still supported gastropods life,i.e: temperature, turbidity, depth, pH, DO, and BOD, in contrary to strong velocity, nitrate, and phosphate.Our results then may reflect the preliminary data on gastropods assemblage in Babura river to enrich future data regarding gastropod communities in other study sites.

Industry Derived Occupational Exposure Limits: A Survey of Professionals on the Dutch System of Exposure Guidelines
Authors: Schenk Linda , Visser Maaike J , Palmen Nicole G M 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The Netherlands’ system for occupational exposure limits (OELs) encompasses two kinds of OELs: public and private. Public OELs are set by the government. Private OELs are derived by industry and cover all substances without a public OEL. In parallel, the regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) has introduced an exposure guidance value similar to the OEL, namely the Derived No-Effect Level (DNEL) for workers’ inhalation exposure. This study aimed to investigate issues encountered by occupational health professionals regarding private OELs, and how they perceive the DNELs for workers in relation to private OELs. Towards this aim, we sent out a web-based questionnaire to the members of the Dutch professional organization for occupational hygienists (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Arbeidshygiëne [NVVA], n = 513) and to members of the Dutch professional organization for safety engineers (NVVK, n = 2916). Response rates were 27% (n = 139) and 7% (n = 198), respectively. More occupational hygienists (59%) than safety engineers (17%) reported to derive private OELs themselves. Our respondents reported several challenges with the derivation of private OELs. Fifty-one percent of the occupational hygienists and 20% of the safety engineers stated to see a role of REACH Registrants’ worker DNELs as private OELs. However, more than half of our respondents were undecided or unfamiliar with worker DNELs. In addition, stated opinions on where worker DNELs fit in the hierarchy of private OELs varied considerably. To conclude, both these professional groups derive private OELs and stated that they need more guidance for this. Furthermore, there is a lack of clarity whether worker DNELs may qualify as private OELs, and where they would fit in the hierarchy of private OELs.

Abstract

Purpose
A recent systematic review determined that the physiological effects of concussion may persist beyond clinical recovery. Preclinical models suggest that these physiological effects are accompanied by a window of cerebral vulnerability that is associated with risk for subsequent, more severe injury. This study examined the association between persistent diffusion tensor imaging signal following clinical recovery of sport-related concussion and risk of re-injury.

Methods
Average mean diffusivity (MD) was obtained in a region-of-interest (ROI) in which concussed athletes showed significantly elevated MD acutely after injury (<48 hours), at an asymptomatic timepoint, 7-days post-return to play, and 6 months post-injury relative to controls. The relationship between MD in the identified ROI and risk of sustaining a subsequent concussion over a 1-year period was examined with a binary logistic regression (re-injured, yes/no).

Results
Eleven of 83 concussed athletes suffered a second concussion within a 1-year period. The relationship between MD at 7-days post return to play and risk of sustaining a secondary injury within 1-year showed a non-significant trend (X2(1)=4.17, p=.057, B=0.03, SE=0.017; Nagelkerke R2=0.16). Mean differences in MD between the repeat injury and non-reinjured group at 7-days post return to play produced a large effect, d=.75. MD in the a priori ROI at the other recovery time points did not predict elevated risk of re-injury.

Conclusion
These preliminary findings suggest that a large effect size was present in the relationship between persistent diffusion signal abnormalities and risk for subsequent re-injury. This provides support for a window of cerebral vulnerability following concussion, though further examination is needed.
Sentiment Analysis of Journal Articles and News Articles Pertaining to CTE
Authors: Todd K , Lapointe A P , Broglio S P 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
Past research has called for balance in the media when reporting on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in order to avoid harmful bias on the readers. The call to do no harm in reporting is based on concerns that the media’s representation of CTE has moved far beyond what researchers studying the disease are able to prove. This study aimed to use positive and negative word sentiments to directly compare journal articles with corresponding news articles in order to evaluate these concerns.

Methods
Research articles (n=7) directly associated with CTE that were heavily covered in the media, as well as associated media articles (n=7) from reputable news sites that covered only the associated article, were selected for the sample. The “AFINN” sentiment analysis dictionary rates the emotional valence of each word with an integer between minus three (negative) and plus three (positive). Words not recognized by the dictionary or with a zero weight were omitted from the analyses.

Results
The entire word list from journal articles weighted equally produced a mean sentiment of -1.001, while news articles using the same scale produce a mean of -0.746. However, when the means were weighted against word count, the mean sentiment score for journal articles was -0.135 and for news article -0.137. A paired t-test analysis of the weighted group of articles yielded no significant difference between the two groups before (p= 0.72) and after (p=0.69) the word count weighted analysis.

Conclusion
Despite recent calls for a less biased reporting of CTE in the mainstream media, this analysis indicates equal sentimental weighting between peer-reviewed journal articles and news reports on CTE, which each approached a value of zero (true neutrality).
Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Perform Differently on Pediatric Concussion Assessment

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
In the absence of recent concussion, youth with ADHD endorse many concussion-like symptoms, perform worse on cognitive tests, and are more likely to have balance difficulty, thus complicating the interpretation of concussion assessment results. This study compared uninjured middle school students with ADHD to precisely matched controls without ADHD on the Child Sport Concussion Assessment Tool Fifth Edition (Child SCAT5).

Methods
A cohort of 1,045 middle school athletes (ages 11-14) completed preseason testing. Students with self-reported ADHD were individually matched to students without ADHD based on age, gender, language spoken at home, number of prior concussions, sport, and school they attended. The final sample included 136 students (68 with ADHD and 68 matched controls), 104 (76.5%) boys and 32 (23.5%) girls. They were 12.7 years old on average (SD=0.9). Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to compare students with and without ADHD on the Child SCAT5.

Results
Children with ADHD reported more symptoms (M=11.18, SD=5.94) and greater symptom severity (M=18.01, SD=11.66) compared to children without ADHD (total symptoms: M=6.54, SD=5.15; symptom severity: M=8.84, SD=7.79). Children with ADHD (M=2.88, SD=1.04) performed worse than children without ADHD (M=3.21, SD=0.94) on Digits Backwards (Cohen’s d=-.33). Children with ADHD committed more errors on the tandem stance than children without ADHD (median for both groups=1; d=.45) and children with ADHD (median=4) committed twice as many errors than children without ADHD (median=2) on single leg stance (d=.76).

Conclusion
Children with ADHD endorsed more concussion-like symptoms and performed worse on certain cognitive tasks and balance tests during baseline, preseason Child SCAT5 assessment compared to matched controls without ADHD.
Systematic Review of Pre-Injury Migraine Disorder as a Risk Factor for Worse Outcome Following Sport-Related Concussion
Authors: Terry D P , Gardner A J , Iverson G L 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
This systematic review examined clinical outcomes (i.e., prognosis) following a sport-related concussion in athletes who have a pre-injury history of migraines. Clinical recovery was defined functionally as recovery from symptoms or full return to activities following injury.

Data Selection
All studies published prior to February 2019 that addressed pre-injury migraines as a possible predictor of clinical recovery from concussion were included. Broadly, the search included (i) sport/athlete-related terms, (ii) concussion-related terms, and (iii) diverse predictor/modifier terms. The following databases were utilized: PubMed, PsycINFO®, MEDLINE®, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and Web of Science. After removing duplicates from the 9,372 identified articles, 5,888 abstracts were screened, 358 full-text articles were reviewed, and 15 articles examining pre-injury migraines as a predictor of recovery were included.

Data Synthesis
Most articles examined pre-injury migraines as an exploratory/secondary predictor of concussion outcome. Migraine history was predominantly based on self-report. Studies included minimal other information about this condition (e.g., age of onset, migraine frequency/severity, past treatment). Methodological rigor varied greatly across studies. Most studies did not find pre-injury migraines to be associated with concussion outcome, but several of these studies had small or very small sample sizes. Larger, better-designed studies suggested pre-injury migraines may be a risk factor for worse concussion outcome. Effect sizes were rarely reported or able to be calculated.

Conclusion
There is some evidence to suggest pre-injury migraines may be a vulnerability factor for a prolonged recovery following concussion. Future studies should focus on improving methodological quality when assessing the relationship between pre-injury migraines and concussion outcome.
The Relationship Between the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory in Concussed Athletes
Authors: Stephenson-Brown K , Otwell A , Schatz P , Womble M , Elbin R J 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
To document the relationship between concussion symptoms and state anxiety in concussed adolescent athletes.

Methods
One hundred fifty-three concussed athletes (mean age=16.06, SD=1.62 yrs.) completed the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) at their initial clinical visit within 30 days of injury (M=8.29, SD=6.46 days). Due to violations of normality (Shapiro-Wilk=.95), Spearman’s Rank Order correlations were conducted between STAI state scores and PCSS affective, somatic, cognitive-migraine-fatigue, and sleep clusters and total symptoms. Correlations were also conducted within sub-samples of patients seen within one week (M=3.80, SD=1.72days) and 8 – 30 days post-injury (M=13.91, SD=5.76 days). Statistical significance was set at (p<.05).

Results
In the total sample (n=153), STAI state scores were significantly associated with total symptoms (r=.54), and the affective (r=.53), sleep (r=.44), cognitive-migraine-fatigue (r=.47), and somatic (r=.33) symptom clusters. All significant relationships among STAI state scores and PCSS total symptoms and symptom clusters were retained for patients seen within 1 week as well as patients completing their first clinical visit 8-30 days post-concussion (p<.05).

Conclusion
Post-concussion endorsement of concussion symptoms increases as a function of state anxiety. Although the PCSS affective symptom cluster is not a validated measure to diagnose anxiety; these findings support the utility of the PCSS to evaluate for potentially elevated anxiety in concussed adolescent athletes.
Does Time Since Injury and Time Spent in Physical Therapy Treatment Affect Outcomes for Concussion Patients?
Authors: Moser R , Zebrowski C , Islam S , Lemke H , Schatz P , James M , Vidal P 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
To evaluate the effects of: 1) time between injury and physical therapy treatment and 2) time spent in physical therapy, on concussion symptom resolution.

Methods
Retrospective data was obtained for 202 patients who sustained a concussion and were referred for physical therapy. Subjects were assigned to groups based on type of injury (sport-related or not), time elapsed between concussion and therapy (0-14 days, 15–30, 31–60, 61–120, 121–365), and months spent in treatment (1 thru 4). Pre- and post- treatment scores were compared for the following measures: Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), and Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) using ANOVAs, with a Bonferroni-corrected p-value of p<.005.

Results
There was no significant difference in outcomes for athletes vs. non-athletes on SCAT Symptom (p=.74) or Severity Score (p=.18), CISS (p=.52), DHI (p=.05), or mCTSIB (p=.10); in outcomes for time elapsed since injury on SCAT Symptom Score (p=.80), SCAT Symptom Severity Score (p=.97), CISS (p=.61), DHI (p=.65), mCTSIB (p=.13); or in outcomes for months in treatment on SCAT Symptom Score (p=.23), SCAT Symptom Severity Score (p=.04), CISS (p=.41), DHI (p=.37), mCTSIB (p=.50).

Conclusion
Post-therapeutic improvements were noted for athletes receiving post-concussive physical therapy. Type of injury, time between injury and treatment, and time spent in treatment did not differentiate treatment outcomes for those receiving physical therapy post-concussion.
Reliability and Factors Associated with False Positives on the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) Tool in US Military Personnel
Authors: Kontos A P , Monti K , Thomas E , Holland C , Thomas D , Bitzer H , Mucha A , Collins M W 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Purpose
The US Military recently added the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) to the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation-2 (MACE-2). However, there are no published data on the VOMS in US military personnel. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of the VOMS and factors associated with false positives in healthy US Army Special Operations (USASOC) personnel.

Methods
206 healthy USASOC military personnel aged 18–40 completed VOMS between March 2018 – January 2019. Analyses included internal consistency, false-positive rates, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), chi-square analyses with odds ratios (OR), and independent samples t-tests. VOMS clinical cut-off scores (2+ on any symptom, >5cm for NPC) were used to determine false positives.

Results
Reliability for the VOMS symptom items (Cronbach alpha=.98, ICC=.90) and NPC distance (Cronbach’s alpha=.98, ICC=.93) were high. False positive rates ranged from 10.2% (smooth pursuits) to 16.9% (NPC distance). Concussion history was associated with a 2.5 fold increase for one or more VOMS items above cut-offs (p=.01). Participants with at least one VOMS item above cut-offs were deployed nearly 6 months longer on average than those without (p=.04).

Conclusion
The findings indicate that VOMS is reliable in US military personnel with few false positives. False positives were associated with concussion history and longer deployment history, which should be considered by military medical providers when administering and interpreting VOMS in this population. Moving forward, researchers should examine the stability of VOMS and its ability to identify mTBI in this population.
