Published: February 2024

Abstract
The development of the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate (KIT Batang) is predicted to affect the performance of the surrounding roads. This study aims to analyze roads performance around industrial estate by referring to the Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual 1997 using a “modified four-step model” (overriding the mode choice stage). The result shows that in 2024, the presence of KIT Batang will not have a significant impact on the surrounding roads network. However in 2029, there will be a significant changes, indicated by worsening road performance—in this case referring to travel speed, service level, and volume-capacity ratio—where toll roads have shown an average level of service F. The do-something scenario is carried out by widening the toll and arterial roads in 2029. Analysis of simulation results shows improved performance on toll roads with an average service level from F to C and on arterial roads from C to B.

Abstract
The movement of vehicles is one form of fulfilling community needs. High vehicle movement can cause transportation problems, one of which is congestion. To overcome this problem, planning a transportation system is essential. Using the EMME/4 program, we analyzed the distribution of movements in the Origin Destination Matrix (MAT) using a gravity model. Using the User’s Equilibrium method, the study aims to determine the parameter β, data validity value (R2), and movement patterns. The research study area was carried out in Solo Agglomeration with 19 zones. The results indicate a β value of 0.0796 (R2 = 0.817), with an estimated Solo Agglomeration movement of 34428 passenger-car-units per hour in 2023. The most extensive distribution of movements occurred within internal movements, making up 62.85%, while the smallest were external-external movements, accounting only for 4.01%.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe previous studies showed an inconsistent result for the effect of sign type on sign comprehension in different sign display. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the effect of sign display (symbol+text or symbol-only) and sign type (warning sign, regulatory sign, or command sign) on traffic sign comprehension. A mixed experimental design was conducted on 100 young adult motorcyclists in the Jabodetabek area with two years of riding experience. In each sign, participants were measured their reaction time to comprehend the sign (sign comprehension time) and the accuracy of the meaning of the sign (sign comprehension level). The result showed that the effect of sign display depends on the type of traffic signs both in sign comprehension time and comprehension level. Based on the results, it can be inferred that further training and socialization are needed to increase riders’ comprehension of all types of traffic signs.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Public transportation is one of the means of transport people use to move from one city to another. This makes the integration of transportation in an urban area very necessary. This study discusses the concept of developing an integrated transportation area. This research was conducted in Ketapang Village, Kalipuro District, and Banyuwangi Regency. This area is very strategic if developed into a transportation integration area. This is because this area has a train station and port crossing, and a type A terminal will be built there. However, considering the current condition of the area, this potential has not been appropriately developed. This study aims to determine the suitability of the existing conditions with the concept of transit-oriented development and to determine development priorities that can be applied in this area using an analytical hierarchy process analysis (AHP) involving relevant agencies and stakeholders. The results of this study are the suitability of the existing field conditions with the concept of transit-oriented development and the arrangement of development priorities that can be applied to this area following the concept of transit-oriented development.

Abstract
The City government of Semarang has a plan to build a tram way in Semarang Old City Area as a public transportation mode to accommodate tourism activities. The existence of tram way can impact the performance of existing road network due to being built on existing roads side by side with other vehicles. Street network performances discussed in this paper are on the vehicle-kilometres travelled (VKT), and vehicle-hours travelled (VHT), to determine the aforementioned changes, traffic simulation was done with PTV VISSIM software. Vehicle-kilometres travelled decreased by 12,76%, vehicle-hours travelled increased by 10,54%. To minimize the impacts, two mitigation scenarios are simulated, mitigation 1 which is one-way system and mitigation 2 the combination of one-way system and signal optimizations. In mitigation scenario 1 the value of VKT decreased by 13,12%, VHT decreased by 0,65% compared to existing conditions. In mitigation scenario 2 the value of VKT decreased by 17,54%, VHT decreased by 4,93%.
Study of Integration of Greater Bandung BRT Service in Bandung City

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The Trans Metro Pasundan (BRT) requires a comprehensive review for network integration with existing modes like angkot, Damri Bus, Trans Metro Bandung (TMB), and commuter trains (KRD). This study aims to employ a GIS model to assess BRT integration in Bandung City through spatial and trip analysis. Key network integration indicators include: (1) overlap level; (2) area coverage within catchment areas; (3) the number of transfers between corridors; and (4) route availability. Analysis shows that the unclear intermodal hierarchy has caused high overlap level and low coverage areas. Low intermodal connectivity also leads to high number of transfers. These issues do not meet the concept of equity set out in the regulations. BRT overlap exceeds 60% with angkot and 90% with Damri, failing to enhance coverage in certain areas, particularly four eastward sub-districts, with catchment ratios of just 13% - 27%. Utilizing ArcGIS, 26 out of 900 trips between sub-districts, originating at BRT stops, require more than the regulation’s designated two corridor transfers. Route availability is measured by the walking distance needed to access a stop between routes, which remains below the 500-meter regulatory limit.
Addressing the occupancy problem of Soekarno-Hatta Airport rail link during its first five years of operation
Authors: Syarif A T , Syabri I 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Airport rail links have long been acknowledged as a crucial component of the modern transportation system. Their attractiveness among air travellers stems from their convenience, speed, and environmental benefits. Despite their advantages, these services often face several occupancy problems that hinder their effectiveness and efficiency. Soekarno-Hatta airport rail link’s operation in 2018-2022 has been marked by low occupancy. This study aims to assess the realisations of several critical attributes of a successful airport rail link service according to TRB studies in the context of the Soekarno-Hatta airport rail link. In this context, it was shown that only four of the seven key attributes have met the minimal level to attain such goals. Despite numerous strategies undertaken during the period, which coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic, most fall under the operating or service adjustments category. The minimal realisations of the seven key attributes confirm the low occupancy levels, yet efforts to increase the ridership were limited during the pandemic. These findings provide avenues for a more successful transfer of operations from PT Railink to PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia with the clear intention of boosting the rail link’s ridership. Alongside several expansion plans by the Directorate General of Railways, the findings shall help public policymakers promote a modal shift and pave the way towards a broader integration with other modes of public transportation in the Jabodetabek region.

Abstract
With the current trend of exploring walkability measures using objective approach, it is essential not to overlook subjective perspectives. Intersectionality examines how heterogenous members of a specific group might have different experiences depending on several aspects of their identities, including gender, age, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and other social factors. This study explores the influence of age on walkability perceptions, revealing that senior citizens have distinct perspectives on this matter compared to the average population. The study involved 392 senior citizens who rated various variables affecting their walkability. These ratings were then analyzed using Random Forest Classifier to identify key variables that predict their willingness to walk. The findings indicate that walkability is positively associated with senior citizens’ willingness to walk when certain variables are present, such as adequate lighting, evenness of pedestrian walks, short travel time to recreational facilities, availability of benches or resting spaces, the presence of family or friends during walks, the presence of security officers, availability of pedestrian walks, and the availability of social activities and gatherings. This study contributes to the understanding of intersectional equity in pedestrian facilities and provides considerations to its future development by including the perspective of senior age individuals.
Identifying heterogeneity in university students’ transport mode choice
Authors: Kriswardhana Willy , Esztergár-Kiss Domokos 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
College students are argued to have some interest in adopting alternative mobility solutions. Even though previous works have examined the transport mode choice of college students, the inclusion of shared mobility services is scarcely found. Thus, this study aims to examine the transport mode choice of university students by revealing the heterogeneity in transport mode usage frequency incorporating socio-demographic and travel characteristics as covariates in the latent class cluster analysis (LCCA) framework. The analysis results in four clusters. Clusters of public transport users and walkers are mostly characterized by lower-income students who can reach the university in less than 11 minutes. Private car users mostly fall into a cluster where students generally come from higher-income families. Policies supporting sustainable transportation among college students are discussed, including the mobility points around the university and public transport stops.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The road pavement structure is the most important part of the design and manufacture of highways, so there is a need for innovation in designing pavement to get a type of pavement that has good quality and is efficient in its design. At this time, many road pavements have suffered damage caused by poor quality. Gilsonite is a natural asphalt that has a relatively high asphalt content compared to other additives, which is 70.9%. In addition, Gilsonite has a maltene content of 27% and 2% oil, then has a nitrogen content of 3.2%. After that, to carry out this test, a test object was made with the addition of Gilsonite Resin using 3 variations of the addition, namely 6%, 7%, and 8%, and compared to the mixture without Gilsonite. The mixture using the addition of Gilsonite (6%, 7%, 8%) an increase in the stability value of the mixture using the addition of Gilsonite, but the flow becomes increased so the properties of the mixture have large deformations. From all the tests that have been carried out, the optimum Gilsonite content is 8%

The role of the coupling matrix elements in time-dependent density functional theory on the simulation of core-level spectra of transition metal complexes
Authors: Pak Sarah , Nascimento Daniel R 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) stands out as an efficient tool for computing core-level spectra in large molecules, particularly transition metal complexes. However, despite their relatively moderate computational demands, TD-DFT methods can still pose challenges for typical computations involving transition metal complexes with over a thousand basis functions. In this study, we investigate the role of the Coulomb, Hartree–Fock exchange, and exchange-correlation kernel contributions to the TD-DFT coupling matrix elements when simulating core-level spectra in transition metal complexes. Our observations reveal that the exchange-correlation kernel contribution, responsible for more than 50% of the computational time in a hybrid TD-DFT calculation, surprisingly has no discernible impact on the qualitative aspects of the calculated spectra. While the Coulomb term plays a crucial role in describing

edges. In contrast, the scaled Hartree–Fock exchange is demonstrated to be the most influential term, underscoring the necessity for hybrid density functional approximations in accurately simulating core-level spectra. These trends hold irrespective of the chosen basis set and exchange-correlation functional, providing valuable insights for the development of approximate methods for incorporating two-electron interactions within the realm of core-level spectroscopies.
Equivalence between the Fitness-Complexity and the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithms
Authors: Mazzilli D , Mariani M S , Morone F , Patelli A 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
We uncover the connection between the Fitness-Complexity algorithm, developed in the economic complexity field, and the Sinkhorn–Knopp algorithm, widely used in diverse domains ranging from computer science and mathematics to economics. Despite minor formal differences between the two methods, both converge to the same fixed-point solution up to normalization. The discovered connection allows us to derive a rigorous interpretation of the Fitness and the Complexity metrics as the potentials of a suitable energy function. Under this interpretation, high-energy products are unfeasible for low-fitness countries, which explains why the algorithm is effective at displaying nested patterns in bipartite networks. We also show that the proposed interpretation reveals the scale invariance of the Fitness-Complexity algorithm, which has practical implications for the algorithm’s implementation in different datasets. Further, analysis of empirical trade data under the new perspective reveals three categories of countries that might benefit from different development strategies.

Abstract
Antibody-based therapeutics (ABTs), including monoclonal/polyclonal antibodies and fragment crystallizable region (Fc)-fusion proteins, are increasingly used in disease treatment, driving the global market growth. Understanding the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of ABTs is crucial for their clinical effectiveness. This study investigated the PK profile and tissue distribution of efineptakin alfa, a long-acting recombinant human interleukin-7 (rhIL-7-hyFc), using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Totally, four rats were injected intramuscularly with 1 mg/kg of rhIL-7-hyFc containing 14C-rhIL-7-hyFc, which was prepared via reductive methylation. Serum total radioactivity (TRA) and serum rhIL-7-hyFc concentrations were quantified using AMS and ELISA, respectively. The TRA concentrations in organs were determined by AMS. Serum TRA peaked at 10 hours with a terminal half-life of 40 hours. The rhIL-7-hyFc exhibited a mean peak concentration at around 17 hours and a rapid elimination with a half-life of 12.3 hours. Peak concentration and area under the curve of TRA were higher than those of rhIL-7-hyFc. Tissue distribution analysis showed an elevated TRA concentrations in lymph nodes, kidneys, and spleen, indicating rhIL-7-hyFc’s affinity for these organs. The study also simulated the positions of 14C labeling in rhIL-7-hyFc, identifying specific residues in the fragment of rhIL-7 portion, and provided the explanation of distinct analytes targeted by each method. Combining ELISA and AMS provided advantages by offering sensitivity and specificity for quantification as well as enabling the identification of analyte forms. The integrated use of ELISA and AMS offers valuable insights for the development and optimization of ABT.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that paternally derived microRNAs play a crucial role in the development of early embryos and are regarded as the key factor in the successful development of somatic cell cloned embryos. In our previous study, bta-miR-301a was found to be highly expressed in bovine sperm and was delivered into oocytes during fertilization. In this study, bioinformatics, dual luciferase reporter assays, rescue experiments, and gain- and loss-of-function experiments indicated that ACVR1 is the target gene of bta-miR-301a in early bovine embryos. By microinjecting bta-miR-301a mimic into embryos of parthenogenetic or somatic cell nuclear transfer, we observed that bta-miR-301a prolonged the first cleavage time of the embryos and increased the blastocyst formation rate. Thus, this study provides preliminary evidence that bta-miR-301a influences remodeling of the microfilament skeleton, prolongs the first cleavage time, and improves the developmental competence of embryos by negatively regulating ACVR1 translation.

Abstract
It is convenient to study complete genome sequences of human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) for ongoing genomic characterization and identification of highly transmissible or pathogenic variants. Whole genome sequencing of hRSV has been challenging from respiratory tract specimens with low viral loads. Herein, we describe an amplicon-based protocol for whole genome sequencing of hRSV subgroup A validated with 24 isolates from nasopharyngeal swabs and infected cell cultures, which showed cycle threshold (Ct) values ranging from 10 to 31, as determined by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. MinION nanopore generated 3200 to 5400 reads per sample to sequence over 93% of the hRSV-A genome. Coverage of each contig ranged from 130× to 200×. Samples with Ct values of 20.9, 25.2, 27.1, 27.7, 28.2, 28.8, and 29.6 led to the sequencing of over 99.0% of the virus genome, indicating high genome coverage even at high Ct values. This protocol enables the identification of hRSV subgroup A genotypes, as primers were designed to target highly conserved regions. Consequently, it holds potential for application in molecular epidemiology and surveillance of this hRSV subgroup.
