In urban area, modern role of bridges is to connect two or more locations. In that area, it is often to construct long span road crossing curved integral bridges consisting of several spans. In this study, the same type of bridge which is located at the intersection of an existing road and an elevated toll road in Jakarta showed cracks at one of the piers during construction of bridge segments. Construction time started from the beginning of 2016 until the end of 2018. Observations were done after the occurrence of cracks by installing strain gauge sensor at the lower part of the pier. Strain from the strain gauge is not only influenced by the construction activities but it is also influenced by the temperature of the surrounding environment. Construction staging analysis using MIDAS Civil software was conducted to evaluate the cracks. Numerical strain evaluation was done by considering the temperature effect taken from the measurement. Both stress which is calculated from the strain obtained by the measurement and construction staging analysis are in good concordance. Using the allowable stress limit for both obtained stress, the actual condition at the pier were verified.

Shrimp farming is an aquaculture activity with complex environmental and social issues that must be solved in cooperation with relevant stakeholders. This study aims to review the concept of multi-stakeholder partnership in the context of shrimp farming. In this study, a qualitative literature review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyse (PRISMA) framework within the scientific literature. Based on the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 4 of 17 studies published between 2010 and 2020 were selected to review further, referring to the concept of multi-stakeholder partnership in aquaculture, taking into account social-ecological system framework management. Our review revealed that multi-stakeholder partnerships allegedly become the problem solver since the complex problem can be neither understood nor addressed by only a single organization or actor involved in shrimp farming. Multi-stakeholder partnership, in which government – business – public (including farmers) are involved, will have an essential meaning in solving complex problems in shrimp farming through sharing in planning, decision making, and activities goals among them.

The purpose of the study is to determine the performance of the control system of the floater glider to a predetermined location. The method used was a combination between software simulation and an experimental free-running test. The Floater control system is equipped with GPS as input and output sensors to determine coordinates or waypoints. The microcontroller mounted was Pixhawk 2.4.8 based on ARM cortex M4 – 32 bits. The floater was driven by two Brushless DC motors and servo motors to drive the Z-Peller steering to the desired trajectory. The floater system applies the default application software from Pixhawk, namely mission planner to plan and also monitor the actual trajectory. To have a proper procedure for testing the designed control system, the three stages of the test were conducted, firstly numerical tuning test using step function on MATLAB simulation, then trajectory simulation test of waypoint using mission planner, and finally the field test in the ILH pond. From the three stages of the test, it was found that the selection of PID gain values Kp = 0.2, Ki = 0.3, and Kd = 0.02, indicating the performance of the floater glider control system to the planned location has a good fit between the trajectory simulation results and the waypoint testing in the pond. These results can be used as a reference in conducting further research so that the navigation accuracy of the control system will be improved.

Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of uric acid and superoxide radicals from purine bases: hypoxanthine and xanthine and is also expressed in respiratory epithelial cells. Uric acid, which is also considered a danger associated molecule pattern (DAMP), could trigger a series of inflammatory responses by activating the inflammasome complex path and NF-κB within the endothelial cells and by inducing proinflammatory cytokine release. Concurrently, XO also converts the superoxide radicals into hydroxyl radicals that further induce inflammatory responses. These conditions will ultimately sum up a hyperinflammation condition commonly dubbed as cytokine storm syndrome (CSS). The expression of proinflammatory cytokines and neutrophil chemokines may be reduced by XO inhibitor, as observed in human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV)-infected A549 cells. Our review emphasizes that XO may have an essential role as an anti-inflammation therapy for respiratory viral infection, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Background: Breast cancer screening techniques have been developing rapidly in the field of imaging systems. One of these techniques is thermography, which is an alternative modality for mammography to detect breast lesions. Thermography utilization has been progressively developing as various models and methods of object processing improvement. Currently, the Fluke TIS20 infrared camera, with a resolution of 320 × 240, has not been used to measure precisely small objects such as early breast cancer lesions. Retrieval and processing of single images lead into imprecise object measurements and false positive results. Objective: Problems have been arisen due to the limitations of the camera resolution, object retrieval techniques and suboptimal image processing. The aim of this study was to detect accurately breast cancer lesions in rats, which were induced by carcinogenic compounds. Material and Methods: In this experimental study, development of models was conducted based on increasing image by optimizing the ability of low-resolution infrared (IR) cameras to identify s mall objects precisely. Image pixel density increased by adjusting the distance of the objects from the camera and multiple images of objects gradually shifting were used to measure object dimensions precisely. Results: The results showed that cancerous lesions as small as 1.27 mm could be detected. This method of lesion detection had a sensitivity and specificity of 93% and 77 % respectively. Conclusion: Small objects (cancerous lesions) were measured by increasing image resolution through splitting pixels into subpixels and combining several images using Partitioned Iterated Function Systems (PIFS).

Applyng the same technique, data collection for prospective analysis involving local university scientests. The results of MDS analysis showed that 11 districts and cities demonstrated readiness indexes categorized as ‘fairly prepared to very prepared’ for the ecological, economic and social dimensions. Challenges are found in the institutional and infrastructure dimensions, where there are a number of districts and cities indexed ‘less prepared’ or even ‘unprepared’. The research concluded with the result of prospective analysis, which then become policy implication of this research; in this case, it is recommended that a number of attributes should receive attention to improve the readiness indexes of participating districts and cities. These attributes are: ‘market opportunity’, ‘business competitiveness’, ‘participation of entrepreneurs’, ‘financial institutions’, ‘information infrastructure’

This study aims to develop an android-based application to calculate the amount of fuel adjusted to the distance and speed of the ship based on the trajectory (way point). The calculation of distance in this application uses the concept of a spherical triangle which is used in voyage navigation. This development adopts the Waterfall model with the stages of Requirement Engineering, Design and implementation, Testing, Release and Maintenance. At the product review stage, it involves software experts (to provide criticism and suggestions for improvement), then testing is carried out by comparing the results of calculations using applications with manual calculations and ECDIS (electronic Chart Display Information System). The test results show that there is no significant difference between the results of calculations using the application with manual calculations and ECDIS. Thus, this application can be used to calculate the amount of fuel needed according to the distance traveled and the speed of the ship based on the selected trajectory.

The surimi industry in Indonesia, especially located on the North Coast Java, has an important role in boosting both regional and national economy. In the last 5 years, the surimi industry has been affected by the policy of prohibiting the use of destructive seine and trawl nets, known locally as cantrang. Most of the surimi industry in Indonesia use bycatches and discards of cantrang as raw material. On the other hand, the policy drives the opportunity to use the aquaculture fishes and non cantrang catches as a raw materials substitution of the surimi. Many laboratory scale observations have shown that aquaculture and small pelagic fish can be used as the raw material for surimi. However, the information around using several species of fish (multi-species) as raw material of surimi is not well provided. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to generate the recommendations regarding the use of multi-species fish as an alternative raw material for the surimi industry to replace the bycatches of cantrang. The information will allow industry both small and medium size to have a better option that suits their need to be able to fulfill the market demand.

The use of different material quality and amount can affect formwork performance at the beginning of casting. Practical easy to install formwork such as woven polyethylene with wire mesh reinforcement makes field work easier. Sensitivity analysis on the elastic modulus and the thermal coefficient variables of woven polyethylene, fresh concrete temperature during casting and fresh concrete load model are the objectives of this research. The research is performed by comparing experimental data and the numerical modeling of woven polyethylene formwork using Finite Element Method. The formwork span and width dimension are 1 m x 0.3 m, with a variety of heights namely 0.6 m, 0.45 m, and 0.3 m. The sensitivity value for each variable will be evaluated based on Pearson coefficient or R. The sensitivity analysis of thermal coefficient showed no correlation to changes in formwork deformation. The sensitivity analysis of elastic modulus and fresh concrete temperature showed perfect correlation to changes in formwork deformation although the changes are small (around 0.0003 cm to 0.0006 cm). The fresh concrete load model showed perfect correlation to formwork deformation as well as becoming the determining variable of the changes in the formwork deformation values.
