Impact of Coastal Flood on Building, Infrastructure, and Community Adaptation in Bukit Bestari Tanjungpinang

Coastal flood in Indonesia, namely as banjir rob, is a phenomenon that increases seawater to inundate around the tidal area. In Tanjungpinang, cases of coastal floods become a serious problem for people living in this area. This research aims to model the coastal flood inundation by modeling water inundation with a maximum level increase scenario. Its model was used to estimate coastal floods' impact on houses, buildings, and infrastructures with scenario 2 meters of sea-level rise. On the other hand, the budget loss for restoration was estimated to study the effort of community adaptations with the ECLAC RAB method and observation to understand community adaptation. It was found that the spatial model succeeded in zoning inundation areas, which had a significant impact on houses, buildings, worship places, schools, and industrial at many 4112 units. From this case, the budget loss for the restoration of the physical environment was estimated at around 61994014.75 USD. In addition, the survey revealed the existing condition before and after the coastal flood. Several community efforts for adaptation were developing houses on stilt and hoarding the lowest land on-site location for build houses.

The Difference

Exposure of blood plasma/serum (P/S) to thawed conditions (> −30 °C) can produce biomolecular changes that skew measurements of biomarkers within archived patient samples, potentially rendering them unfit for molecular analysis. Because freeze-thaw histories are often poorly documented, objective methods for assessing molecular fitness before analysis are needed. We report a 10-μl, dilute-and-shoot, intact-protein mass spectrometric assay of albumin proteoforms called “ΔS-Cys-Albumin” that quantifies cumulative exposure of archived P/S samples to thawed conditions. The relative abundance of S-cysteinylated (oxidized) albumin in P/S increases inexorably but to a maximum value under 100% when samples are exposed to temperatures > −30 °C. The difference in the relative abundance of S-cysteinylated albumin (S-Cys-Alb) before and after an intentional incubation period that drives this proteoform to its maximum level is denoted as ΔS-Cys-Albumin. ΔS-Cys-Albumin in fully expired samples is zero. The range (mean ± 95% CI) observed for ΔS-Cys-Albumin in fresh cardiac patient P/S (n = 97) was, for plasma 12–29% (20.9 ± 0.75%) and for serum 10–24% (15.5 ± 0.64%). The multireaction rate law that governs S-Cys-Alb formation in P/S was determined and shown to predict the rate of formation of S-Cys-Alb in plasma and serum samples—a step that enables back-calculation of the time at which unknown P/S specimens have been exposed to room temperature. A blind challenge demonstrated that ΔS-Cys-Albumin can detect exposure of groups (n = 6 each) of P/S samples to 23 °C for 2 h, 4 °C for 16 h, or −20 °C for 24 h—and exposure of individual specimens for modestly increased times. An unplanned case study of nominally pristine serum samples collected under NIH-sponsorship demonstrated that empirical evidence is required to ensure accurate knowledge of archived P/S biospecimen storage history.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore the potential positive effects of the design of a physical organisational environment on the emergence of an organisational culture conducive to organisational creativity. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on an in-depth, longitudinal case study, the aim being to enhance understanding of how a change in physical space, including location, spatial organisation and architectonic details, supports cultural change. Findings – It is suggested that physical space plays an implicit yet significant role in the emergence of a culture conducive to organisational creativity. It appears from the case analysis that there are three aspects of culture in particular, equality, openness and collectivity, that may be positively affected by the design of an organisation’s physical environment. Practical implications – The careful choice, planning and design of an organisation’s physical location, layout and style can advance the appearance of an organisational culture conducive to creativity. Originality/value – The paper describes a longitudinal study comparing a case organisation before and after a change in its physical environment. The longitudinal data illustrates how a change in the spatial environment contributes to the emergence of a culture conducive to organisational creativity.

El objeto de este estudio de caso fue evaluar las habilidades psicológicas de jugadoras de hockey hierba, y, por otro lado, la eficacia de la participación en un programa de entrenamiento psicológico en las características psicológicas relacionadas con el rendimiento deportivo. Participaron 10 jugadoras de hockey de 16 a 26 años de la selección de hockey hierba femenino de categoría senior. La intervención psicológica se realizó en Montevideo-Uruguay, durante 16 sesiones a través de trabajo individualizado (voluntario) y trabajo grupal (obligatorio) con un enfoque cognitivo-conductual. La intervención estuvo formada por técnicas y estrategias como la reestructuración cognitiva; la autocaracterización; la técnica de la Rejilla de concentración y Stroop; habilidades de comunicación y de autoconocimiento; auto-registros conductuales; observaciones-confrontaciones e interpretaciones; y técnicas de relajación y visualización. Se administró el Cuestionario de Características Psicológicas relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo en jugadores de fútbol (CPRD-f, Olmedilla, García y Martínez, 2007) antes y después de la intervención de 4 meses de duración. Los resultados indican que las habilidades psicológicas en estas deportistas son caracterizadas por niveles altos de autoconfianza; impermeabilidad a la evaluación del rendimiento; manejo de la ansiedad competitiva y de la atención-concentración. Aparecen diferencias significativas tras la intervención que favorecen la calma ante las diferentes situaciones relacionadas con la competición, con un aumento del manejo de la ansiedad competitiva. Se plantea la necesidad de transferir esta información a psicólogos del deporte que intervengan a jugadoras de hockey, facilitando la selección y ajuste de estrategias psicológicas específicas en los planes de entrenamiento con el objetivo de mantener y fortalecer sus habilidades psicológicas llegando a conseguir que se manifiesten al máximo nivel.

The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the psychological skills of grass hockey players, and, on the other hand, the effectiveness of participation in a psychological training program on psychological characteristics related to athletic performance. Ten hockey players from 16 to 26 years old participated in the senior women's field hockey team. The psychological intervention was carried out during 16 sessions through individualized work (voluntary) and group The intervention consisted of techniques and strategies such as cognitive restructuring; self-characterization; the technique of the concentration grid and Stroop; communication and self-knowledge skills; behavioral self-records; observations-confrontations and interpretations; and relaxation and visualization techniques. The CPRD-f (Olmedilla, García and Martínez, 2007) was administered before and after the 4-month intervention. The results indicate that the psychological skills in these athletes are characterized by high levels of self-confidence; impermeability to performance evaluation; management of competitive anxiety and attention-concentration. Significant differences appear after the intervention that favor calm against the different situations related to the competition. The need arises to transfer this information to sports psychologists who intervene hockey players, facilitating the selection and adjustment of specific psychological strategies in training plans with the aim of maintaining and strengthening their psychological skills, getting them to manifest themselves to the maximum level.

Tropical cyclones are incredibly destructive and deadly, inflicting immense losses to coastal properties and infrastructure. Hurricane-induced coastal floods are often the biggest threat to life and the coastal environment. A quick and accurate estimation of coastal flood extent is urgently required for disaster rescue and emergency response. In this study, a combined Digital Elevation Model (DEM) based water fraction (DWF) method was implemented to simulate coastal floods during Hurricane Harvey on the South Texas coast. Water fraction values were calculated to create a 15 km flood map from multiple channels of the Advanced Technology Microwave Sound dataset. Based on hydrological inundation mechanism and topographic information, the coarse-resolution flood map derived from water fraction values was then downscaled to a high spatial resolution of 10 m. To evaluate the DWF result, Storm Surge Hindcast product and flood-reported high-water-mark observations were used. The results indicated a high overlapping area between the DWF map and buffered flood-reported high-water-marks (HWMs), with a percentage of more than 85%. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient between the DWF map and CERA SSH product was 0.91, which demonstrates a strong linear relationship between these two maps. The DWF model has a promising capacity to create high-resolution flood maps over large areas that can aid in emergency response. The result generated here can also be useful for flood risk management, especially through risk communication.

Transport Effects

Pigs are usually transported during the course of their life and various behavioural and physiological effects of the transportation process have been reported (e.g. Bradshaw et al., 1995)., Most research has been directed to examining the effects of the physical environment (e.g. Randall, 1993), simple behavioural time budgets (e.g. Bradshaw et al., 1995) and levels of 'stress' hormones in the blood before and after a journey (e.g. Geers et al., 1994). Two situations are described in this paper. The first investigated behavioural and salivary Cortisol responses of pigs to road transport when loaded in small familiar social groups or when loaded and mixed with other unfamiliar pigs. The second used catheterised animals to examine the hormonal response (Cortisol, beta-endorphin and lysine vasopressin) of pigs sampled during a long distance (8 h) road journey.

AbstractAlthough moving from institutional to home-like long-term care (LTC) settings can promote and sustain the health and wellbeing of older adults, there has been little research examining how home is perceived by older adults when moving between care settings. A qualitative study was conducted over a two-year period during the relocation of residents and staff from an institutional LTC home to a purpose-built LTC home in Western Canada. The study explored perceptions of home amongst residents, family members and staff. Accordingly, 210 semi-structured interviews were conducted at five time-points with 35 residents, 23 family members and 81 staff. Thematic analyses generated four superordinate themes that are suggestive of how to create and enhance a sense of home in LTC settings: (a) physical environment features; (b) privacy and personalisation; (c) autonomy, choice and flexibility; and (d) connectedness and togetherness. The findings reveal that the physical environment features are foundational for the emergence of social and personal meanings associated with a sense of home, and highlight the impact of care practices on the sense of home when the workplace becomes a home. In addition, tension that arises between providing care and creating a home-like environment in LTC settings is discussed.

Использование суспензий бентонитовых глин при обработке виноматериалов в процессе их осветления и стабилизации оказывает влияние на минеральный состав вин. Виноматериалы могут обогащаться катионами металлов, оказывающими разнонаправленное влияние на качество и розливостойкость вина. Исследованы изменения элементного состава виноматериалов в результате их обработки 32 образцами бентонитовых глин различных торговых марок. Объектами исследования были образцы виноматериалов из винограда сортов Каберне-Совиньон, Мерло и Молдова, собранного на территории Краснодарского края в 2019 г. Методами ИСП-АЭС и ИСП-МС определен элементный состав виноматериалов до обработки суспензиями бентонитовых глин и после нее. Установлено, что обработка бентонитовыми глинами привела к изменению концентраций практически всех определяемых элементов в образцах виноматериалов. Во всех образцах виноматериалов после обработки снизились концентрации B, Cu, Zn и увеличились концентрации Ag, Al, Cd, Ni, Na, Sb, Sn, Pb, Ti, Fe. As и Hg не были обнаружены ни в исходных, ни в обработанных образцах виноматериалов. Концентрации As, Cd, Hg, Pb, которые регламентируются в Российской Федерации, во всех обработанных образцах виноматериалов были существенно ниже установленного максимального уровня. Концентрации других элементов – Ag, B, Cu, Na, Zn, Ni, нормируемых в документах ЕС и МОВВ, в исследованных обработанных образцах виноматериалов оказались также значительно ниже нормативов. Таким образом, все исследованные бентонитовые глины могут быть рекомендованы к использованию при производстве вин. The use of suspensions of bentonite clays in the processing of wines in order to clarify and stabilize them has a significant effect on the mineral composition of wines. In this case, wines can be enriched with metals cations, which have a different effect on the quality and persistence of wine. Changes in the elemental composition of wine materials as a result of their treatment with 32 samples of bentonite clays of various brands were studied. The objects of the study were samples of wine materials from grapes of the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Moldova, collected on the territory of the Krasnodar region in 2019. The methods of ICP-NPP and ICP-MS were used to determine the elemental composition of wine materials before and after treatment with bentonite clay suspensions. It was found that the treatment with bentonite clays led to a change in the concentrations of almost all detectable elements in the samples of wine materials. In all samples of wine materials after treatment, the concentrations of B, Cu, Zn decreased and the concentrations of Ag, Al, Cd, Ni, Na, Sb, Sn, Pb, Ti, Fe. As and Hg were not detected in either the initial or treated samples of wine materials. The concentrations of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, which are regulated in the Russian Federation, in all processed samples of wine materials were significantly lower than the established maximum level. The concentrations of other elements – Ag, B, Cu, Na, Zn, Ni, normalized in the EU and the International Organization of Vine and Wine documents, in the studied processed samples of wine materials were also significantly lower than the standards. Thus, all the studied bentonite clays can be recommended for use in the production of wines.

In 2011, Sitio Pariahan in the northern part of Metro Manila, the Philippines’ capital region, was submerged after Typhoon Nesat hit the country. In fact, Sitio Pariahan is not the only one. Many parts of Manila Bay have slowly been sinking, causing the populations to be prone to coastal floods. According to the existing studies, coastal floods in Manila Bay areas are caused by climate-induced sea-level rise and land subsidence due to the excessive groundwater extraction and rapid urban development. However, it appears that the policies implemented by the government tend to be infrastructural, for example, dike construction, which could provide immediate protection but do not really solve the problem. This case study, therefore, presents a detailed account of coastal flooding in Manila Bay, particularly on its causes and policy options to address it. More specifically, it introduces the application of social contract to understand how the terms and conditions governing the state-citizens relations in the Philippines affect government’s rationale in choosing policy options to solve the coastal flood problem.
