Optimization of Low Site Density Area for 4G Network in Urban City

The development of telecommunications is currently growing rapidly, especially in urban areas. To obtain optimal data services for users, the performances of 4G network services must continue to be optimized. It is known that many users are scattered in urban areas, but sometimes it is not balanced with an even distribution of the site in this area. This condition occurs because the distribution of the site is not evenly optimal distributed, either due to licensing constraints, limited land access for site development, or in terms of plans that have not been made. Balanced with the requirement of a 4G network, which is required, this "empty space" condition or low site density condition must find a solution or optimize it. Many optimization methods can optimize the area with low site density possibility. This study will optimize the area by adding a new site proposal based on coverage planning. We need to analyze Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) coverage signal distribution using Atoll Planning Software. After optimization, the RSRP level below or equal -80 dBm increased from 75.195% to 94.08%. Furthermore, the percentage calculation for inadequate coverage (below -80 dBm) decreased from 24.816% to 5.931%. This RSRP signal level also shows that the condition after optimization with a new site can improve the signal level condition from areas with low site density possibility.

Clinical Considerations in Orthodontically Forced Eruption for Restorative Purposes

For restorations on teeth involving invasion of the supracrestal tissue attachment (biological width), as well as for lack of ferrule effect, crown lengthening is required for long-term periodontal health and success of the restoration. In the same fashion, site development is often necessary prior to implant placement in order to provide optimal peri-implant soft and hard tissue architecture conducive to future esthetics and function. Orthodontic extrusion, also known as forced eruption, has been developed and employed clinically to serve the purposes of increasing the clinical crown length, correcting the periodontal defect, and developing the implant site. In order to provide comprehensive guidance on the clinical usage of this technique and maximize the outcome for patients who receive the dental restoration, the currently available literatures were summarized and discussed in the current review. Compared to traditional crown lengthening surgery, forced eruption holds advantages of preserving supporting bone, providing improved esthetics, limiting the involvement of adjacent teeth, and decreasing the negative impact on crown-to-root ratio compared to the traditional resective approach. As a non-invasive and natural technique capable of increasing the available volume of bone and soft tissue, forced eruption is also an attractive and promising option for implant site development. Both fixed and removable appliances can be used to achieve the desired extrusion, but patient compliance is a primary limiting factor for the utilization of removable appliances. In summary, forced eruption is a valuable treatment adjunct for patients requiring crown lengthening or implant restorations. Nonetheless, comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning are required for appropriate case selection based upon the known indications and contraindications for each purpose; major contraindications include inflammation, ankylosis, hypercementosis, vertical root fracture, and root proximity. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the long-term stability of orthodontically extruded teeth and the supporting bone and soft tissue that followed them.

Many older adults have a cognitive impairment (CI), which negatively impacts on their quality of life and threatens their independence. In this presentation, we provide an overview of the conceptual framework, structure, and processes of our multi-site Center, ENHANCE, which is focused on developing technology support for aging adults with a CI. ENHANCE has two cross-site research projects, two cross-site development projects, training, and dissemination components. A core battery of measures is collected across all projects. We also discuss the Supportive Technology Resources through Usability & Machine-learning Methods (STRUMM) research project, which focuses on an innovative intelligent adaptive software package aimed at providing cognitive and social support, and support for resource access to aging adults with a CI. STRUMM is designed to meet the user’s varying cognitive needs. Finally, we present preliminary data regarding the perceived usability and value of STRUMM from our clinical partners and potential user groups.

Design of Male Student Dormitory Medan State University with Appropriate Site Development Concept (Green Architecture)

Student dormitories are the residential neighborhood as student residences during their lectures. The dorms are increasing as students access different regions to study at a university. Medan city has several dorms which one is of Medan State University. This student dormitory is a special dormitory for male students of Medan State University who come from areas in North Sumatra. The condition of the dormitories is considered inadequate as a Student dormitories capacity is less than required. The existing student dormitory facilities are not complete for student dormitory facilities. It is necessary to design the male student dormitory of Medan State University. In this design, the Medan State University male student dormitory requires additional supporting facilities around the student dormitory and good building conditions. The location of the building is in the educational Area on Jalan William Iskandar Pasar V, New Memories, Percut Sei Tuan. The Male Student Dormitories applies green architecture with a basic concept approach to land use which is considered to respect every criterion contained in the land, made as comfortable as possible, responsive to the factors evaluated at the construction site.

Appropriate Site Development in the Application of the Green Building Concept: An Evaluation of the Planning of Gianyar Public Market

<p class="Abstract"><em>Appropriate Site Development is one of the Greenship criteria for maintaining or expanding urban greenery in order to improve microclimate quality, decrease CO2 and other pollutants, avoid soil erosion, reduce drainage system loads, and keep the balance between clean water and groundwater systems. </em><em>The GREENSHIP concept is a solution to the decline of the green spaces of Gianyar regency, which has been due to the construction of hotels and villas for tourism</em><em>. The Government of Gianyar Regency in Bali Province is committed to applying the concept by planning Gianyar Public Market as the first public facility that uses the idea. This study evaluated whether the application of the Green Building concept, particularly the one in the category of Appropriate Site Development, will be beneficial for the users and the surrounding environment. The evaluation used mixed-methods, which incorporated a case study approach</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Two key persons were interviewed. The collected interview data combined with the secondary data were processed with the GREENSHIP rating tools</em><em>. Results of the evaluation show that, in the category of Appropriate Site Development, the planning of Gianyar Public Market obtains 41.18% points. It means that the planning has not yet adequately fulfilled the criteria. Therefore, some efforts and improvements need to be taken and made to fulfill the criteria of the categories in which the planning has not yet obtained maximum points. One of such categories is technology application.</em><em></em></p>

Landscape design of Ciliwung Riverbank based on ecological aspect in Pejaten Timur Settlement Area, South Jakarta

Jakarta is a city that has a reasonably dense population and continues to grow every year. The rapid increase in the number of residents has caused a lack of harmony between the need of land for housing and existing land availability. This condition has led to a change in the function of riverbank in the area of settlements which happened in Pejaten Timur, South Jakarta. The existing settlements area on the riverbank caused environmental problems such as river width change and pollution. These conditions caused this area is often flooded every rainy season. Therefore, this research was conducted to design the Ciliwung Riverbank and restoring the function of its riverbank which was supposed to be a green open space. Green open space is designed in the form of an urban community park that can be used as a water catchment area, improving the ecological function of the riverbanks, and as a place to relax for the citizens around the site. The design of the park is carried out by the design process method, these design process included preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and site design. In the analysis section, the writer determines the potential and site constraints, and then some appropriate site development plans can be produced. The applied concept is called “Eco-relaxing riverside park”, which is an urban park on the riverbank that is environmentally friendly and has the primary function of a place to relax for visitors. The result of the urban community park design is expected to increase the aesthetic and functional value of the Ciliwung Riverbank in Pejaten Timur, South Jakarta. The final result of this research is the site plan, overall perspective, spot perspective, visible section images, detailed drawings, and explanations of the images.

Comparison of Clinical Parameters in Dental Implant Therapy between Implant Site Development Using Porcine- and Bovine-Derived Xenografts

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of two xenografts, i.e., porcine- and bovine-derived xenografts, on dental implant therapy after implant site development. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study involved adults who underwent dental implantation between January 2012 and December 2020. Various patient and implant-site characteristics were collected from the patient records. The implant-surgery clinical parameters of the porcine- and bovine-derived xenografts used for implant site development were analyzed and compared. Results: A total of 116 subjects with 168 dental implants were included in this study. There was less soft bone in the porcine bone group of the maxilla. However, there was less soft bone and a greater percentage of “primary stability ≥35 N” in the bovine bone group of the mandible. However, no significant differences in regrafting rate, post-operative infection rate, or implant survival rate were found between the bovine and porcine bone groups. Conclusion: The effects of implant site development using bovine- and porcine-origin xenografts are comparable in terms of the implant-therapy clinical parameters, including the regrafting rate and implant survival rate. Thus, the choice of xenografts could be made according to the patient’s religious requirements. However, the reported results should be used with caution, considering the limitations of this retrospective study.
