Flood is a catalysm that occurs due to various factors. Factors causing floods in urban areas that we know in general are lack of water absorption, poor urban planning systems, water delivery from other areas, the amount of garbage in the drainage channels and high rainfall. Lots of losses caused by floods, ranging from disruption of the activities of surrounding residents to damage to public and private facilities. Tanjung Duren Utara Village has been flooded three times during January 2020. This journal aims to find out the factors that cause floods in North Tanjung Duren Village so that solutions can be found. For that there are a number of things that need to be analyzed which is rainfall, drainage capacity and condition of existing drainage. Topography of the area is a sunken lowland so has flood potential. After all the analyzes have been done it can be concluded that the flooding in Tanjung Tanjung Duren Utara Village was caused by the lack of existing canals capacity, topography, garbage, and the sediment at the bottom of the channel.ABSTRAKBanjir merupakan bencana alam yang terjadi karena berbagai faktor. Faktor penyebab banjir di wilayah perkotaan yang kita ketahui secara umum adalah kurangnya resapan air, sistem tata ruang yang kurang baik, kiriman air dari wilayah lain, banyaknya sampah di saluran drainase dan curah hujan tinggi. Banyak sekali kerugian yang ditimbulkan akibat banjir, mulai dari terganggunya aktivitas warga sekitar hingga kerusakan pada fasilitas umum maupun pribadi. Di wilayah Kelurahan Tanjung Duren Utara tercatat sudah tiga kali mengalami banjir selama bulan Januari 2020. Jurnal ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya banjir di daerah Tanjung Duren Utara sehingga bisa dicari solusinya. Untuk itu ada beberapa hal yang perlu dianalisis yaitu curah hujan, kapasitas saluran dan keadaan saluran eksisting. Kontur daerah yang ditinjau merupakan dataran rendah yang berbentuk cekung sehingga memiliki potensi banjir. Setelah semua analisis dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa banjir di kawasan Tanjung Duren Utara disebabkan oleh kurangnya kapasitas saluran eksisting, kontur wilayah, sampah dan sedimen di dasar saluran.

Cannabis use does not show homogeneous patterns in a country. In particular, urbanization appears to influence prevalence rates, with higher rates in urban areas. A hierarchical linear model (HLM) was employed to analyze these structural influences on individuals in Switzerland. Data for this analysis were taken from the Switzerland survey of Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) Study, the most recent survey to assess drug use in a nationally representative sample of 3473 15-year-olds. A total of 1487 male and 1620 female students indicated their cannabis use and their attributions of drug use to friends. As second level variables we included address density in the 26 Swiss Cantons as an indicator of urbanization and officially recorded offences of cannabis use in the Cantons as an indicator of repressive policy. Attribution of drug use to friends is highly correlated with cannabis use. The correlation is even more pronounced in urban Cantons. However, no association between recorded offences and cannabis use was found. The results suggest that structural variables influence individuals. Living in an urban area effects the attribution of drug use to friends. On the other hand repressive policy does not affect individual use.

Insight Into

Objective: The present epidemiological study was conducted with the objectives of providing an insight into the current use of antidiabetic medications to diabetics and hypertensive diabetics in urban areas and determining how the patient factors influence the prescribing of antidiabetic medications. Methodology: Data of patients of past two years were collected from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The details were entered in the structured patient profile form. Data were statistically analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2007 software. Result: A total of 958 patient’s data were collected and analyzed of which 632 (65.97 %) were males and 326 (34.03 %) were females. These patients were further categorized based on their age. 330 patients (34.45 %) belonged to the age group 20 – 44 years, 504 (52.61 %) to the age group 45 – 65 years and 124 (12.94 %) to the age group 65 – 80 years. 684 (71.4%) patients out of the 958 patients studied were suffering from coexisting hypertension. Co-existing hypertension was found to be more prevalent in the age group 45 – 65 years (67.69%) and was found more in females (84.04%). Conclusion: Metformin was the oral hypoglycemic which was the highest prescribed. In hypertensive diabetics Metformin and Pioglitazone were most frequently prescribed drugs. Biguanides and Insulin were the most commonly prescribed antidiabetics. A combination of two or more drugs of different classes was prescribed to hypertensive diabetics. It is necessary to have an improved understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of diabetes to focus on research efforts appropriately.
