Published: May 2023

Abstract
Palembang is a lowland which is dominated by swamp areas.. The problem of flooding in this area stems from a drainage network system that is almost cut off, causing high rainfall and water not flowing properly into the river. This study aims to analyze the drainage network system’s performance based on the channel’s capacity to the channel’s condition in analyzing the hydrology using the probability distribution method. The frequency suitability test was carried out using Smirnov-Kolmogorov and Chi-Square. The results showed that the rainfall was 116.74 mm/hour and the design flood discharge (Qr) at the ten-year return period was 3.684 m3/second. The carrying capacity of the discharge channel (Qs) is smaller than the value of Qr. Indicates that the existing drainage channels cannot accommodate the flood discharge, resulting in flooding. The channel at point 4 leads to the discharge channel; the capacity value of Qs is 4.0296 m3/second, while Qr is 3.684 m3/second. The calculation results can be estimated that the channel discharge capacity is smaller than the planned flood discharge, so the drainage channel capacity cannot accommodate flood flows.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on the usage of public transport, in this case, a decrease in the use of public transport services. The decreased use of public transport was because the government created a new social system called social distance, followed by the Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM). This study aims to perform utility and probability modelling and determine the most significant factor in influencing the preferences of the community in using public transport during the Covid-19 pandemic and the implementation of the PPKM level 3 policy in Padang City. Primary data was collected using online and offline questionnaires. The questionnaire used the expressed preference technique on eight alternatives with three attributes and two levels. The attributes include the difference in travel time, the cost of travel, and health protocols. The best model was Y(AUK-AUO) = 0.656 + (- 0.038) X1 + (- 0.056) X2 + 0.644 X3 with R-Square = 0.174 referring to all characteristics as a whole influence 17.4% of Y. According to the sensitivity test results, the travel cost difference is the most influencing variable in people’s decisions to use traditional public transportation during the covid-19 pandemic and the implementation of the PPKM level 3 policy.

This research uses a quantitative approach method to present numerical data through the normal distribution method to make each accessibility parameter into three classifications namely low, medium, and high, and also uses a qualitative approach that aims to investigate, describe and explain the existing conditions of transportation facilities to tourist zone which is the object of research using primary data. Through a qualitative approach, a detailed description of the condition of the availability of routes and public transportation will be produced which will be analyzed based on the results of mapping in the study area.
Development of Traffic Delay and Queue Metamodel on Landslide Zone Based on Simulation Using VISSIM
Authors: Purnawan  , Alfathira Ridhola 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Landslides occur due to instability in the soil triggered by vibrations, high rainfall and topographical conditions of an area. Landslide is a natural disaster that often occurs in West Sumatra. This landslide certainly has an impact on traffic around the area. Congestion is the impact caused by landslides due to falling chunks of material onto the road. Lack of traffic control during landslides makes travel ineffective and inefficient. Therefore, the traffic control and its impact on possible landslides were tested using a VISSIM microscopic simulation software by setting the queue and delay parameters as the outputs. Based on this output of simulations, the metamodel was developed using regression analysis. This model could be used to predict the queue and delay of traffic because of landslide at road network. Two traffic control conditions that were simulated, open and close lane is used if the width of the landslides covering the road is more than one lane. Two-way traffic control in landslide zone is used when the width of the landslides covering the road is less than one lane.

Authors: Edwin T , Mera M , Komala P S , Zukarnaini  
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate are the main contaminants in agricultural runoff that can harm aquatic organisms if in high concentrations reaches water bodies, for that contamination must be controlled. Polyurethane sponge is a durable material and can be used for filtering those contaminants from wastewater, but studies on the mechanism of adsorption by this material are still rare. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to predict the adsorption capacity, removal efficiency, isotherm, and adsorption kinetics of polyurethane sponge on ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate removal. The results of the study show that polyurethane sponge can remove nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate by adsorption mechanism. The highest maximum adsorption capacity is nitrate in 5-hour mixing time, followed by ammonium in 2- hour mixing time, and the last one is phosphate in 3-hour mixing time. The isotherm that is suitable for presenting the removal of nitrate and ammonium is the Freundlich isotherm, while the Langmuir isotherm is more suitable for the removal of phosphate. The adsorption kinetics which fit to describe the mechanism of nitrate and ammonium adsorption is the intra-particle diffusion model, while the phosphate adsorption kinetics is more suitable to be described by the Pseudo first-order model.

Abstract
In recent years, the leakage of crude oil and the discharge of oily wastewater in industrial production have seriously endangered the water environment and ecological safety. Adsorbent materials with excellent oil-water separation performance play an important role in water purification. In this work, we employed a simple yet effective strategy to prepare highly compressible wood sponges. And with the prepared wood sponge as the substrate, the prepared pH-responsive copolymer was coated on the surface of the wood sponge by spraying method, and the pH-responsive superhydrophobic wood sponge was successfully prepared. The experimental results show that the wood sponge has excellent pH-responsive properties and can complete the transition of surface wettability between superhydrophobicity and hydrophilicity according to the change of pH value. The wood sponge has good oil adsorption capacity (12.72 g g−1), and reusability. Continuous oil-water separation can be carried out under the vacuum pump, and the oil-water separation efficiency in one separation cycle is above 92%. It has great application potential in the treatment of oily wastewater.

Authors: Baradaran Mohammad Saleh , Qazanfari Ramin , Baradaran Sajed 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
As waste production has increased, these materials have been put to their best use to help reduce pollution. Glass bottles account for more than 5% of municipal waste in Mashhad, according to statistics. This study attempted to look into the impact of using glass granule recycled materials on soil parameters. The impact of adding glass granule materials on the properties of weak soil and the need for improvement in the east part of Mashhad was studied. The dominant soil in the east of Mashhad was determined using samples collected from‌ 54‌ different locations. Finally, two experimental relations for determining soil strength parameters were presented. The results show that adding glass granule (GG) lowers the optimum moisture content, and CBR testing on the samples revealed that adding GG by 5% water content increases CBR capacity. Adding GG reduces the CBR in saturated conditions with high densities. According to the obtained results, adding 5% of glass granule is the optimal state that increases CBR and adding more than 5% of additive amounts does not have such an effect. Also, by examining the effect of GG on the shear strength of the soil, it was obtained that the addition of GG increases the internal friction angle of the soil by at least 30% and reduces adhesion by about 40%, as determined by a direct shear test. Adding glass granule in cyclic CBR has no effect in low cycles and has a negative effect in high cycles.

Abstract

Objectives
To improve documentation of blood product administration by assessing the completion status of blood transfusions. In this way, we can ensure compliance with the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies standards and facilitate investigation of potential blood transfusion reactions.

Methods
This before-and-after study includes the implementation of an electronic health record (EHR)–based, standardized protocol for documenting the completion of blood product administration. Twenty-four months of retrospective data (January-December 2021) and prospective data (January-December 2022) were collected. Meetings were held before the intervention. Ongoing daily, weekly, and monthly reports were prepared, and targeted education to deficient areas as well as spot in-person audits by the blood bank residents were conducted.

Results
During 2022, 8,342 blood products were transfused, of which 6,358 blood product administrations were documented. The overall percentage of completed transfusion order documentation improved from 35.54% (units/units) in 2021 to 76.22% (units/units) in 2022.

Conclusions
Interdisciplinary collaborative efforts helped produce quality audits to improve the documentation of blood product transfusion through a standardized and customized EHR-based blood product administration module.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

Background
Accessory auricles are common congenital external ear malformations. However, it remains challenging to treat a complicated accessory auricle and reconstruct the involved tragus.

Objectives
In this study the aim was to present a new classification of accessory auricles and the surgical management of each type.

Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 110 patients who underwent accessory auricle surgery. The accessory auricle was classified by 3 types, according to its morphology and relationship with the tragus: Types I, II, and III. The type III accessory auricle was divided into 3 subtypes: IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc. The surgical techniques utilized varied among the different types.

Results
The total number of accessory auricles in 110 patients was 149. Type I was the most common type (52.3%), followed by types II (31.5%) and III (16.1%). Among the type III subtypes, type IIIa was observed in 12 (8.1%), type IIIb in 3 (2%), and type IIIc in 9 (6%) ears. None of the patients experienced short-term complications. Three patients (4 ears) showed mild hypertrophic scarring. Three patients (3 ears) showed a smaller tragus than the normal side. The average score for aesthetic outcomes was 3.7 points on a 4-point Likert scale.

Conclusions
Classification of accessory auricles provides guidance for surgery. Different surgical techniques were employed based on the type of accessory auricle. The final incision at the edge of the reconstructed tragus provided an aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Communities of Support for Care-Experienced Mothers
Authors: Gill Amy , Page Stacey M , Hairston Melissa 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
A genuinely supportive social network is crucial to health and well-being in motherhood. Feeling supported during challenging times can help to shield the impact of adversity and distress. Mutual support networks resulting from authentic, caring connections with others can be particularly beneficial to people with histories of fractured family relationships and/or out-of-home care (OOHC). As three women with lived experience of OOHC, we describe how we have built communities of support to sustain us as we raise our families, reflect on our childhoods, and strive to provide loving environments for our children. Our narratives highlight the value of informal support during the joys and challenges of motherhood, and the need for strength-based and trauma-informed practices within health and social work. Drawing on the theory of social support, we argue that professionals should aim to support care-experienced young people to empower themselves by building autonomous and authentic social connections to promote their well-being, particularly during life transitions such as exiting care and becoming parents.
When the locals are Othered: hybridized representations of Latin American cultures and identities through nation branding
Authors: Miño Pablo 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This study unveils how Latin American countries present to the eyes of educated, English-speaking audiences in the promotion of exports, tourism, and foreign direct investment offerings through different nation branding campaigns. Their invitations to come make use of strikingly similar strategies: (1) the “adventurous” foreigner venturing to explore a new land; and the (2) proud, local citizen, telling the newcomer what is so special about their nation. The main goal of this study is to introduce the concepts of “hybridization” and “equalization” as powerful constructs to analyze hybridized representations of Latin American cultures and identities through nation branding. This study adds to existing research on cultural nation branding, as well as critical-cultural studies that focuses on analyses of the “Other,” outlining the limitations of branding as a mechanism to promote contested and multifaceted constructs such as countries.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

Background
Neurocognitive impairment (NCI) in people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is common and may result from persistent HIV replication in the central nervous system.

Methods
A5324 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 96-week trial of ART intensification with dolutegravir (DTG) + MVC, DTG + Placebo, or Dual - Placebo in PWH with plasma HIV RNA &lt;50 copies/mL on ART and NCI. The primary outcome was the change on the normalized total z score (ie, the mean of individual NC test z scores) at week 48.

Results
Of 357 screened, 191 enrolled: 71% male, 51% Black race, 22% Hispanic ethnicity; mean age 52 years; mean CD4+ T-cells 681 cells/µL. Most (65%) had symptomatic HIV-associated NC disorder. Study drug was discontinued due to an adverse event in 15 (8%) and did not differ between arms (P = .17). Total z score, depressive symptoms, and daily functioning improved over time in all arms with no significant differences between them at week 48 or later. Adjusting for age, sex, race, study site, efavirenz use, or baseline z score did not alter the results. Body mass index modestly increased over 96 weeks (mean increase 0.32 kg/m2, P = .006) and did not differ between arms (P &gt; .10).

Conclusions
This is the largest, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of ART intensification for NCI in PWH. The findings do not support empiric ART intensification as a treatment for NCI in PWH on suppressive ART. They also do not support that DTG adversely affects cognition, mood, or weight.
