Published: January 2024

Background:
Traffic congestion is a worldwide challenge that poses significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. Countries worldwide, especially in urban areas, are confronted with the pressing challenge of managing traffic congestion.

Methods:
Traffic simulation can help create a model of the current situation of the state of the traffic and subsequently, simulate alternatives based on the current demand. To address this problem, this study aims to assess the traffic flow at a critical four-legged intersection (Sector G/11) in Islamabad, Pakistan, as a case study. It proposes a solution to alleviate traffic congestion using microsimulations. By utilizing software as a tool, we have created a model of the current state of the intersection, and, subsequently, proposed changes to the intersection's geometric features by designing an optimal solution for it.

Results:
The resulting modifications led to improved traffic flow, and reduced emissions and fuel consumption by 47%, minimized delays to 40%, resulting in an overall enhancement of the Level of Service from ‘E’ to ‘B’.

Conclusion:
Overall, this study demonstrates the potential benefits of using microsimulations in traffic management and underscores the need for innovative and sustainable solutions to address the complex issue of traffic congestion. The novelty of this paper lies in its pioneering approach of employing microsimulation techniques to analyze the intricacies of traffic conditions within a country like Pakistan, characterized by a multitude of factors contributing to congestion.

Authors: Bullock Garrett , Stocks Joanne , Feakins Benjamin , Alizadeh Zahra , Arundale Amelia , Kluzek Stefan 
Published: January 2024

Background
There is substantial evidence exploring the reliability of running distance self-reporting and GPS wearable technology, but there are currently no studies investigating the reliability of participant self-reporting in comparison to GPS wearable technology. There is also a critical sports science and medical research gap due to a paucity of reliability studies assessing self-reported running pace.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of weekly self-reported running distance and pace compared to a commercial GPS fitness watch, stratified by sex and age. These data will give clinicians and sports researchers insights into the reliability of runners’ self-reported pace, which may improve training designs and rehabilitation prescriptions.

Methods
A prospective study of recreational runners was performed. Weekly running distance and average running pace were captured through self-report and a fitness watch. Baseline characteristics collected included age and sex. Intraclass correlational coefficients were calculated for weekly running distance and running pace for self-report and watch data. Bland-Altman plots assessed any systemic measurement error. Analyses were then stratified by sex and age.

Results
Younger runners reported improved weekly distance reliability (median 0.93, IQR 0.92-0.94). All ages demonstrated similar running pace reliability. Results exhibited no discernable systematic bias.

Conclusions
Weekly self-report demonstrated good reliability for running distance and moderate reliability for running pace in comparison to the watch data. Similar reliability was observed for male and female participants. Younger runners demonstrated improved running distance reliability, but all age groups exhibited similar pace reliability. Running pace potentially should be monitored through technological means to increase precision.

Published: January 2024

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) was rapidly identified as the critical functional receptor for SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 is well-known as a counter-regulator of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and plays a key role in the cardiovascular system. Given that ACE-2 functions as both a SARS-CoV-2 receptor and a RAS modulator, the treatment for Covid-19 presents a dilemma of how to limit virus entry but protect ACE-2 physiological functions. These will contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms of underlying the relationship between the virus, ACE-2, and severity of disease provide guidance for virus intervention strategies.
Aim: To study the effect of Covid-19 on the levels of some biomarker such as liver enzyme, ferritin, LDH, CRP and ACE-2 activity levels, and their relations with the severity of Covid-19 and the activity levels of angiotensin converting enzyme-2.
Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 176 male subjects who diagnosed by physician and were divided into three groups: 59 of them were infected with severe covid-19, 54 of them were infected with moderate covid-19 and 63 of them were checked and obtained as apparently healthy control. Severe and moderate patients were collected from Al-Hayat tertiary center at Al-Hussein Medical City, Kerbala Health Directorates, Kerbala – Iraq during April, 2020- June, 2021 with matched age ranged between (23-88) years. In this study, the levels of ACE-2 was measured through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in sera from healthy volunteers as a control group, and patients with moderate Covid-19, patients with severe Covid-19. Anthropometric, biochemical data were analyzed and then measuring the levels of some biomarker such as liver enzyme, ferritin, LDH, and CRP activity levels.
Results: The levels of ACE-2 were differing significantly among groups. However, the level of CRP, Ferritin and LDH were significantly higher in moderate Covid-19 and severe cases of Covid-19 groups compared to control indicating it to be an dependent predictor in the coronavirus disease and prognosis of disease. In contrast the severe infection was correlated with the age and chronic diseases such as pretention and T2DM.

Published: January 2024

Due to their low topography and flat terrain, Semarang's northern coastal areas are vulnerable to tidal flooding. This paper explains the concept of Green Waterfront City for northern coastal areas of Semarang. The concepts include: the design of mangrove forest areas on Semarang's North Coast as a natural, eco-friendly barrier that withstands sea abrasion; the concept of an artificial embankment made of natural materials that collects sediment and turns into a dike to reduce sea abrasion; and amphibious housing, which is a versatile, light-colored, eco-friendly residential area. Should the concept be put into practice, it would create advantages in some aspects such as: a) Socially, people affected by the tidal floods on the north coast of Semarang will be provided with appropriate housing and permitted to go back to where they previously lived; b) Economy: Communities affected by tidal floods on Semarang's north coast will see an increase in their economic worth in the fishing and tourism industries through the introduction of Silvofishery; c) Environment: The development of Green Waterfront City for northern coastal areas of Semarang can mitigate the negative environmental effects of tidal flooding and sea abrasion.
