The Impact

This research is a non-parametric statistical measurement form which use the Mann Whitney Test. The aim is to determine whether or not there are differences in the impact of the implementation of the PSBB as a result of Covid-19 pandemic in the Surabaya, Gresik and Sidoarjo areas through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews, a sample of 134 people who were distributed in the 3 regions obtained. From the results of repeated simulations, measurements and testing to answer existing hypotheses, it can be seen that there are 3 things that are the conclusions of this study. The first conclusion, that there is no difference in the impact of the PSBB implementation in the Sidoarjo and Surabaya areas, which use α = 5%, the value obtained Zcount = -0.65745 is higher than Ztabel = +/- 1.96. It is in the receiving area which means H0 or the hypothesis that there is no difference in the impact of the PSBB implementation between Sidoarjo and Surabaya areas cannot be rejected. The second conclusion, that there are differences in the impact of the PSBB implementation in the Surabaya and Gresik areas with the result that the value of Zcount = -2.28792 is lower than Ztable. The same thing happened in the third test, there was a significant difference in the impact of the PSBB implementation in Sidoarjo and Gresik areas. Furthermore, in the descriptive analysis, there are several factors were found which effect the three tests result, as follows: geographic, demographic, social, cultural and employment factors.

The Impact

Tropical forests store vast quantities of carbon, account for one-third of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis, and are a major sink in the global carbon cycle. Recent evidence suggests that competition between lianas (woody vines) and trees may reduce forest-wide carbon uptake; however, estimates of the impact of lianas on carbon dynamics of tropical forests are crucially lacking. Here we used a large-scale liana removal experiment and found that, at 3 y after liana removal, lianas reduced net above-ground carbon uptake (growth and recruitment minus mortality) by ∼76% per year, mostly by reducing tree growth. The loss of carbon uptake due to liana-induced mortality was four times greater in the control plots in which lianas were present, but high variation among plots prevented a significant difference among the treatments. Lianas altered how aboveground carbon was stored. In forests where lianas were present, the partitioning of forest aboveground net primary production was dominated by leaves (53.2%, compared with 39.2% in liana-free forests) at the expense of woody stems (from 28.9%, compared with 43.9%), resulting in a more rapid return of fixed carbon to the atmosphere. After 3 y of experimental liana removal, our results clearly demonstrate large differences in carbon cycling between forests with and without lianas. Combined with the recently reported increases in liana abundance, these results indicate that lianas are an important and increasing agent of change in the carbon dynamics of tropical forests.

Purpose Building information modeling (BIM) inclusion in education pedagogy is crucial in preparing skilled graduates for employment in the construction industry. Against this backdrop, studies on BIM education abound in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) programmes in higher education institutions (HEIs). However, there are limited empirical studies on BIM potentials in the quantity surveying (QS) profession in HEIs, particularly in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to identify and assess the BIM drivers and benefits as important to the QS profession using an empirical approach. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify the BIM drivers and benefits in relation to the QS profession, which was used to design a questionnaire. To capture a broad perception, a questionnaire survey was carried out which targeted the academia and final year undergraduate students from two selected universities offering QS honour degree programmes in Nigeria. Data collected were analysed using mean score, standard deviation and Mann–Whitney test. Findings The study identified 12 BIM drivers in relation to the QS profession and the analysis of the ranking revealed that almost all the identified BIM drivers are considered by respondents as important. The study further identified 14 BIM benefits and the analysis of the ranking indicated that all the identified BIM benefits are considered as important. The results of the Mann–Whitney test indicated a slight statistically significant difference, particularly in one of the selected universities on the ranking of the BIM drivers and benefits as important to the QS profession. Practical implication The findings of the study provide empirical evidence on the current perceptions of the drivers and benefits of BIM to QS academia and students as they explore the concept for the advancement of QS profession. Originality/value This study would provide practical insights to use BIM for QS practice. Also, this study would contribute to improving the QS graduates and professional quantity surveyors understanding of the BIM knowledge applicable to QS profession.

This study evaluated the use of hydrogel on the development of Rapanea ferruginea under water restriction through Vibrational Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR-UATR). Seedlings of approximately 30 cm height were transferred in pots with 3 L of soil. The group of seedlings was separated into 5 different triplicate treatments according to the amount of hydrogel, as follows: H1 (25%), H2 (20%), H3 (15%), H4 (10%) and S (control without hydrogel). The applied hydrogel was mixed homogeneously with the soil. All treatments were irrigated with 40 mL of water. FTIR spectra were obtained from fresh leaves collected during 13 months of monitoring. The correlation of the hydroxyl (water) band with the main biomolecules between treatments with the control was evaluated using the Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05). The biomolecule bands were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). The results indicate a significant correlation of the water band with the lipid, hemicellulose, cell wall and starch components in the species. The use of hydrogel resulted in a significant difference in the water absorption band in relation to the control group through the Mann-Whitney test and in biomolecules as the HCA and PCA analysis suggested. The best development was observed in groups H4 (10%), H2 (20%) and H3 (15%). The use of hydrogel positively influences the biomolecular development of the Rapanea ferruginea and monitoring is viable by FTIR.

Abstract Abstract 4406 Methods of quantification of foetal red cell in maternal blood samples are important to ensure the correct administration of prophylactic anti-D to prevent sensitisation of the mother which may result in haemolytic disease of the newborn and foetus in subsequent pregnancies. We aimed to assess the accuracy of 3 methods: a gel card technique using anti-D and 2 acid-elution techniques, foetal cell detection kit (FCD, Inverclyde Biologicals Lanarkshire, Scotland) and a kit from Clin-Tech Limited (Guildford, England) based on the Kleihauer-Betke foetal stain technique (KBT), to quantifiy foetal red cells in maternal samples. The sensitivity of the gel method was also assessed. A total of 63 maternal blood samples and 30 man-made control blood samples were analysed, with only 57 maternal samples confirmed to be Rh D negative. Rh D positive samples were excluded. All samples were run concurrently with the 3 methods, according to manufacturers’ instructions. Mann Whitney test was used to compare the results. The gel technique was recorded in terms of grading of agglutination while the acid-elution kits were recorded by degree of FMH (mL). Column agglutination was also used to assess sensitivity. Results showed only 3 maternal samples were positive for FMH using the acid-elution method but not the gel technique. Statistically there was no significant difference between the techniques (Mann-Whitney test). Sensitivity of the gel method showed that it has the ability to detected FMH of more than 3mL whilst the 2 kits were able to detect FMH of 1mL. The study showed that gel technique required little skill to perform but it was not considered suitable for accurate quantification of FMH and consequently for the correct administration of prophylactic anti-D. The foetal cell detection kit (Inverclyde Biologicals) showed a similar ability to detect and quantify FMH when compared to the Kleihauer –Betke kit (Clin-Tech) with better overall staining intensity. The Kleihauer-Betke test from Clin-Tech and the foetal cell detection kit from Inverclyde Biologicals showed no significant difference (p = 0.98), thus there is no statistical significant difference between the 2 methods. However, the sensitivity of the column agglutination method was lower, as significant agglutination could only be observed with FMH of more than 3mL. The expected values were plotted based on Gomez-Arbones et al (2002), who cited significant agglutination seen when FMH is 0.1% or about 2.5mL. Sensitivity was found to be less than expected as a higher amount of bleed is required to observed significant agglutination. The FMH sample representing 1–6mL was repeated and similar findings were recorded, as significant agglutination was only observed when FMH was 4mL. The column agglutination method is not suitable as a quantitative measurement of FMH as it only allows qualitative analysis, thus if it is incorporated into a clinical setting, it must be accompanied by a quantitative test. The foetal cell detection kit has similar staining capabilities to detect foetal cells and compared to Clin-Tech was easier to use as there is no need to prepare eluting solution unlike the latter. However, fixing solution was not provided and hence need to be prepared. Results showed that only 3 maternal samples were positive for the presence of FMH and thus using a semi-quatitative acid-elution technique should be sufficient in FMH quantification unless FMH using the acid-elution technique exceeds 2mL, as recommende,d by the BCSH guidelines (2009), then the sample should be analysed using flow cytometry.

Objective: To achieve the excellent levels of athletic performance, professional athletes need to do continuous exercises and strengthen special muscles of the body and have to spend a lot of time training in that sport. As a result, depending on the prevailing condition of each sport, the physical orientation and the degree of abnormalities of the athletes in that sport are affected. Methods: The current study is descriptive and cross-sectional. The statistical population was 12-14 years old boys in middle and high school. The statistical sample of this study included 30 people (13 volleyball players and 17 basketball players) with a targeted training rate of at least three sessions per week. The Chippaux Smirak Index (CSI) method was used to evaluate the arch of the foot and to determine the angles and degrees of kyphosis and lordosis in radiographs. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the variables of motor skills and posture by SPSS V. 18 at a significant level of 0.05. Results: The results of independent t-test to compare the variables of motor skills in the two groups of volleyball and basketball show that there is a significant difference between the two groups in the Sargent test and 4mX9m (P=0.000) (P≥0.05). The results were different in strength test (P=0.41) and Sit-up (P=0.75) so that there was no significant difference between the two groups (P≥0.05). The results of Mann-Whitney test to compare posture-related variables showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in any of the parameters of varus, valgus, pronation, supination, lordosis, kyphosis, foot flat (P≥0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that volleyball players have more impressive and explosive power than basketball players, but in terms of muscle strength and endurance, there is not much difference between these two groups, which is probably due to the nature and specific characteristics of their sports. Therefore, it seems necessary to pay more attention to athletes’ training programs to improve their motor skills and physical condition. In this study, the behavior and common habits of the subjects in interaction with the environment and hereditary characteristics have not been studied, so more research is needed in the etiology of musculoskeletal abnormalities.
