This study tries to use the Spatial concept by analyzing the observed spatial patterns and spatial autocorrelation, as well as evaluating the spatial modeling of each region in 60 districts/cities in five Southern Sumatra Provinces. This research used Geoda. Geoda will then provide a spatial description of the condition of the percentage of GRDP presented in the Moran I statistics, LISA and LISA Clusterd Map in 2015-2019. The results of this study are expected to show the spatial relationship of GRDP between 60 regencies/cities in five provinces in Sumbagsel and be able to indicate how the spatial relationship is in the clustered pattern of regions with the same characteristics. Furthermore, the LISA Cluster map is expected to describe the grouping of GRDP in 11 regions. The SAR model was chosen to analyze cases of spatial linkage. This study will further provide an economic analysis of how the percentage of the population and GRDP influence, In addition, this study will examine how the influence of the Development Index and poverty on GRDP. Therefore, this research will be one of the studies that has the latest updates because it uses two approaches; spatial approach and economic approach presented in the results of the discussion and discussion.

Abstract This study examines the way in which French-speaking learners of L2 Chinese construct a type of discourse called static spatial description. It involves the analysis of an oral corpus collected from two groups of native speakers of Chinese and French, and two groups of learners of L2 Chinese at two proficiency levels (low and intermediate). The data collected consist of the description of a poster. The results show that linguistic devices used in Chinese and French to encode the locative phrase and its syntactic functions have an impact on the presence and placement of the locative in utterances encoding spatial localization. These properties in turn influence the way in which the informational content develops across the utterances in the discourse. There is a clear development of proficiency between the two L2 groups. However, intermediate learners are not yet able to organize information on the discourse level like native Chinese speakers do.

This article presents an overview of the projects approved in Porto Alegre between the years 2010 and 2019, through the city’s Special Projects of Urban Impact (PE) development instrument. The concept of “flexible planning” is presented to explain the type of planning practiced today and to describe the PE instrument as outlined in the Porto Alegre Master Plan. In the article, the PE normative framework is presented, followed by a statistical and socio-spatial description of the projects undertaken. The patterns regarding the socioeconomic and urban requirements are presented, as well as the community contributions or benefits that resulted from these projects. The research reveals that, rather than being exceptions, Special Projects have become the norm for large developments in Porto Alegre, resulting in a shock wave of large real estate developments in the city.

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) had still become a health problem that often occurred and not least caused death for Indonesia especially in Sragen, Central Java. Distribution of DHF cases in an area could be described using Spatial analysis with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Objective: This study aimed to provide spatial distribution of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever cases and regional endemicity of DHF in Sragen during 2016-2018 using Geographic Information Systems. Method: Descriptive research design with Cross-Sectional approach using GIS was used to get the description of spatial distribution of dengue and the region endemicity of dengue in Sragen. The sample used was Saturated Sample which was secondary data about the incidence of DHF from District Health Office of Sragen from 2016 to 2018 totaling 1,349 cases. The subjects consisted of geographical areas which consisted of 20 subdistricts with DHF case. The collected data were analyzed descriptively by displaying a frequency distribution table and description of spatial distribution using Geographic Information System. Results: The results showed that the spatial distribution of DHF was spread randomly in all districts in Sragen. The average incidence rate (IR) of DHF during the last 3 years in Sragen was > 50 / 100,000 population. Spatial description showed that 58 villages out of 208 villages in Sragen were DFH endemic areas and generally all subdistricts in Sragen were endemic areas of DHF. Conclusion: Spatial description of DHF in Sragen showed that all subdistricts in Sragen were endemic areas for DHF.

A structure-based view on mesons is given, based upon the concept of an archetype quark, described as a pointlike source producing an energy flux, the spatial description of which is derived from Dirac’s second dipole moment. This enables to conceive the archetype meson (pion) as a structure that behaves as a one-body anharmonic quantum mechanical oscillator. All mesons appear being excitations of the archetype, thereby allowing a calculation of the mass spectrum without the use of empirical parameters for the masses of the quark flavors. This includes a physically comprehensible analysis of the spin-spin interaction between quarks. It also provides a solution for the eta-etaprime puzzle. Next to this, it is shown that quite some particles that are presently regarded as elementary, have a common root and can be traced back to a few archetypes only.

Background: The number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases in Indonesia from January to February 2016 was 8,487 with 108 deaths. DHF is an infectious disease that continues to increase from 2014 until 2016 in Manado city. DHF cases in Talaud Islands Regency from 2014 to 2016 were 143 cases. Regional spatial analysis would simplify the distribution of DHF cases in high-risk areas. To be aware of the DHF outbreak cycle, it is necessary to model spatial risk factors based on geographic information systems (GIS) to tackle and eradicate DHF cases by region.Methods: This study aimed to analyze the spread of DHF in Talaud regency based on age, sex, population density and area height. The design of this research is qualitative analytic by using an ecological study approach. The research scope was 19 districts in Talaud regency. Secondary data are used which consists of case number, age, sex, population density, and area height taken from the Talaud district health office with 66 DHF cases in 2018-2019 and analyzed using the GIS approach through spatial analysis.Results: Based on the number of DHF cases that is most in the age group of 5-11 years. Male gender is more likely to suffer from DHF than female. Spatial description of the condition of the altitude in the Talaud Islands regency at risk of suffering from DHF is>50 meters above sea level. Spatial description of population density with most DHF cases is not densely populated area with less than 1,620 inhabitants per km.Conclusions: The health office of Talaud islands regency needs to actively promote health by providing information about eradicating mosquitoes.

Seeking goals carried out by agents with a level of competency requires an “understanding” of the structure of their world. While abstract formal descriptions of a world structure in terms of geometric axioms can be formulated in principle, it is not likely that this is the representation that is actually employed by biological organisms or that should be used by biologically plausible models. Instead, we operate by the assumption that biological organisms are constrained in their information processing capacities, which in the past has led to a number of insightful hypotheses and models for biologically plausible behaviour generation. Here we use this approach to study various types of spatial categorizations that emerge through such informational constraints imposed on embodied agents. We will see that geometrically-rich spatial representations emerge when agents employ a trade-off between the minimisation of the Shannon information used to describe locations within the environment and the reduction of the location error generated by the resulting approximate spatial description. In addition, agents do not always need to construct these representations from the ground up, but they can obtain them by refining less precise spatial descriptions constructed previously. Importantly, we find that these can be optimal at both steps of refinement, as guaranteed by the successive refinement principle from information theory. Finally, clusters induced by these spatial representations via the information bottleneck method are able to reflect the environment’s topology without relying on an explicit geometric description of the environment’s structure. Our findings suggest that the fundamental geometric notions possessed by natural agents do not need to be part of their a priori knowledge but could emerge as a byproduct of the pressure to process information parsimoniously.
