Central Tendency Data Real-Time Acid Rain Measurement to Evaluate Tool’s Performance Using Statistical Analysis

Increased population growth has implications for increased industrial and transportation activities. This activity increased gas emissions in the form of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), resulting in acid rain. The measuring instrument, a rain gauge, is used to measure acid rain in Greater Bandung at Telkom University, Indonesia, but it is currently unable to measure in real-time. Therefore, this study aims to measure acid rain in real-time by measuring parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity, and precipitation to test the acidity contained in rainwater and evaluate the tool's performance with data for March 2022. The analysis uses various statistical methods: anomaly detection, outlier detection, central tendency, person correlation analysis, Mean Absolute Percentage Error, T-test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Each parameter can be worked out in real-time based on the central tendency and rain dispersion results. If there is only daily rain, then the correlation for each parameter is the highest, namely pH if there is acid rain. The real-time average pH is 6.45; in the laboratory, it is 6.56, so the MAPE value is 5.37 (good category). Even though this tool can work well, it needs to improve the quality of the temperature control in it. Since temperature significantly affects pH, the results show a negative correlation of -0.80 between pH and temperature. In the ANOVA test, the resulting p-value, when compared with data in the laboratory, is >0.05, meaning that the average daily pH does not have a significant difference from the average laboratory test.

Extreme precipitation over complex terrain using multiple remote sensing observation: A case study in the Great Bandung, Indonesia

Intense precipitation events are the main cause triggering hydrometeorological hazards over complex terrain. Two extreme precipitation (EP) events led to major flooding on 23–25 March 2021 and produced a rain-hail mixture (RHM) on 11 April 2021 in the Greater Bandung (GB) basin area, Indonesia. We investigated the spatial and vertical structure of precipitating cloud systems and the plausible mechanism triggering the two case studies with combined multiple remote sensing observations using an X-band polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar (Xpol) and X-band rain scanner radar (RSR) network, supported by rain gauges and satellite observation. The local processes controlling the intense rainfall events over the complex topography were quantified for the first time using an observational campaign in Indonesia. During the first EP event (23–25 March 2021), the modified satellite algorithm successively confirmed that the mesoscale convective system triggered the local anomalous circulation. The RSR network reveals that the EP in eastern GB contributed to the overflow of the Citarum River alongside the basin, coinciding with the eastward propagating convective system that produced oblate-shaped water droplets without hail. Nevertheless, during the second EP event on 11 April 2021, the strengthening of mountain-based convection played a main role in producing RHM, confirmed by a hail differential reflectivity larger than 12 dB and exhibited hail early stage over two height levels in different locations (981 m and 1033 m) in the GB. Our study also found Doppler vorticity-based and rain sizes combination indicators using RSR data networks in capturing such extreme weather events over complex topography with 35 min early times to support the early warning system of hydrometeorological disaster mitigation over GB, Indonesia.

The Influence of Attitudes, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control of Commuter Intentions to Use Public Transportation in Greater Bandung, Indonesia

Abstract. Although public transport provides many benefits, such as a cleaner environment, reduced congestion, and increased sustainable transportation, many people still prefer private transport. This motivates the exploration of users’ intention to choose and use public transportation. This study explores the psychological factors of public transport users based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). TPB assumes behavior built because of the intention. Attitude (ATT) does not determine the intention to influence behavior directly but through a combination of Subjective Norms (SN) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC). Responses from public transport users in Greater Bandung were collected using a questionnaire. The results show that attitude (ATT) is the most vital factor that positively influences user intention, based on standardized estimates of 0.866 (ATT), 0.301 (PBC), and 0.202 (SN). Environmental and climate issues have the most significant influence on user attitudes when compared to quality factors sorted by standardized estimated values such as travel time, safety, and fare. Previous research revealed that the dominant factor was quality, but in this study, it switched to factors of transportation activities that affect the environment. In fact, the factor of ease of use and encouragement of information media is crucial to be considered by stakeholders.

Organizational happiness character and lecturer performance: the mediating effect of organizational citizenship behavior

This study aimed to determine the role of organizational happiness character (OHC) towards lecturer performance with organizational citizenship behaviour as a mediation variable. The study was aimed to lecturers at private universities in Greater Bandung, with a total number of 5,435 lecturers out of 21 Private Universities. Data was collected using a questionnaire with a differential semantic scale in 2021 and 2022. It has met the minimum sample requirement needed for SEM-PLS analysis. The study is devoted to analiysis of the lecturer perception of organizational happiness, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and lecturer performance, testing 4 hypotheses. The measurement scale in this study uses differential semantics which is an effective measurement tool for attitudes. The analysis of the research hypothesis shows a relationship between OHC and performance, and OCB variables affect the improvement of lecturer performance. The relationship between OHC and OCB has also been confirmed and shows a positive and significant relationship. Hence, it can be said that the variable OCB is a mediator for the effect of the variable OHC on employee performance. In this study, organizational citizenship has a partial mediating effect in improving lecturer performance.
