Landslide Rapid Impact Assessment at Hydro Dam via THyCAS and UAS

The TNB Hydro Catchment Area Surveillance (THyCAS) is a web-based geographic information system (GIS) used to monitor hydropower dam catchment areas in Peninsular Malaysia. It can also be used for landslide rapid impact assessment by monitoring the surrounding landslide area. However, during the rainy season, satellite images are unable to provide the information required by users due to full cloud cover. Therefore, an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is used to provide the data required by THyCAS by mapping the surrounding area affected by landslides and uploading the processed data in THyCAS. Thus, the user can get the required information regarding the landslide incident. Furthermore, with UAS Full Motion Video (FMV) data, the location of the collapsed power transmission towers can be acquired. In addition, any information on land changes that could jeopardise the surrounding dam area is gathered. Therefore, with the information from the rapid impact assessment provided by THyCAS and UAS data, a preliminary risk assessment plan can be established and implemented by the relevant parties. The results obtained from the rapid assessment can also be used as additional information to find out the actual cause of landslides in the area.

Analisis Pengembangan Sistem Layanan Masyarakat Untuk Pengelolaan Iuran Warga Secara Terintegrasi

Neighborhood Association (RT) is the smallest governance system in Indonesia that plays a vital role in population administration and conveying community aspirations to the government. However, the limitations of time and the availability of the RT Chairman often result in administrative services being slow, inefficient, and less responsive to the needs of the residents. Therefore, innovation in the management of administration at the RT level is needed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of services. This research aims to design and develop a web-based information system that can assist the RT Chairman in managing population data and resident fee payments in a more systematic and organized manner. Currently, fee payments are done manually, with information conveyed through WhatsApp groups, which often causes confusion and difficulties in monitoring payment status. With this information system, residents can independently and transparently monitor their fee payment status and quickly access relevant information. The development of this system uses the Prototyping method, and testing is conducted through white box testing on three main functionalities. The test results show that all paths can be navigated well, although there are warnings when accessed through older browser versions. With this system, it is hoped that RT services will be more efficient, transparent, and easily accessible to residents. This system helps the neighborhood association manage finances and contributions efficiently.

Education and Communication on the Topic of Osteonecrosis of the Jaw When Taking Bone-Stabilizing Drugs.

The aim of this study was to analyze the communication between doctors and patients who were taking bone-stabilizing medication and in rare cases developed osteonecrosis of the jaw as a result. A standardized questionnaire recorded deficits based on patient experiences. These data were used to develop solution strategies for improving doctor-patient communication and the benefit-risk assessment of medication use. Most patients were satisfied with the information provided by their doctor; however, one in three (29.8%) were not informed about possible side effects, and a quarter (24.6%) only found out about osteonecrosis of the jaw through their own research. Only half (45.7%) were asked about risk factors, and most information materials were rated poorly. The diagnosis took an average of 18.7 months, with many (47.8%) consulting a doctor only when they experienced pain. Quality of life was severely impaired, with daily pain, physical limitations, and negative effects on mental health. About a third (35.3%) reported that their quality of life had deteriorated significantly. Further research into patient education is necessary. Web-based information brochures, improved follow-up care, and close cooperation with dentists are required. The use of a running sheet, such as the AGSMO running sheet, for individual risk assessment of osteonecrosis of the jaw is recommended. Patients undergoing treatment with bone-stabilizing medication should be monitored closely. Education about osteonecrosis of the jaw must be continued, and the medical profession must be confronted with it.

PENGEMBANGAN WEB SERVICE MENGGUNAKAN FRAMEWORK FASTAPI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMUDAHAN INTEGRASI SISTEM INFORMASI AKADEMIK MULTIPLATFORM

Academic activities at Dian Nuswantoro University are managed using a web-based and mobile-based (Android and IOS) academic information system for students, lecturers, educators, and parents (guardians). The data retrieval process used by the academic information system is currently in each system itself so that it is prone to errors. Therefore, a back-end service is needed in the form of a web service that acts as a portal for the data retrieval process that can be used by the multiplatform academic information system. In addition to helping to avoid data retrieval errors, the web service that is built also provides complete and easy-to-understand documentation of web service usage. The average time required for the web service to provide a response when accessed by 1000 users is 6198ms (minimum 17ms and maximum 10017ms), meaning that the web service has good performance under high loads. The Extreme Programming method was chosen for the development of the web service in this study. This method consists of four stages, namely planning (analysis of what the system needs), design (visualization with Use Case diagrams), coding (using FastAPI Framework), and the last is testing (using BlackBox and JMeter for testing functions and security). The simplicity of this method can support the achievement of the desired results, namely a back-end service in the form of a web service, which can be used by a multi-platform academic information system to exchange data easily and accurately so that errors can be avoided, especially inconsistencies in presenting academic data.

The Effect of the "Safety in Dementia" Online Tool to Assist Decision Making for Caregivers of Persons With Dementia and Access to Firearms : A Randomized Trial.

Caregivers face challenges (including competing desires to prevent injury, respect autonomy, and avoid conflict) when addressing firearm access by community-dwelling persons with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD). To test the effect of the online Safety in Dementia (SiD) decision aid on caregivers' decision making about firearm access for people with ADRD. Prospective 2-group randomized trial with longitudinal follow-up. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05173922). United States. English- or Spanish-speaking caregivers (aged ≥18 years) of community-dwelling adults with ADRD and firearm access. SiD versus a web-based information control. The primary outcome was preparation for decision making about firearm access. The secondary outcome at follow-up was self-reported action to reduce access. Among 500 participants enrolled between June 2022 and February 2024, the mean age was 47 years, 69% identified as female, half were the adult child or stepchild of the person with ADRD, and 99% chose study participation in English. Participant characteristics were similar by study group. For the primary outcome, SiD significantly increased preparation for decision making versus the control (69.8 vs. 64.8 out of 100; mean difference, 4.80 [95% CI, 0.53 to 9.07]; P = 0.024). There was no significant effect on actions to reduce firearm access at 2 weeks or 2 months. The results may not be generalizable to non-English-speaking populations. The online SiD decision aid increased preparation for decision making about firearm access in this sample of ADRD caregivers in the United States. Use of such resources in clinical or community settings may support caregivers and people with ADRD in avoiding firearm injury or death. National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health.

Geographic information system for reporting damage and road grouping based on website using waterfall method and k-means method

Roads are a vital land transportation infrastructure and transportation route. One of the functions of roads is as a driving factor in the development process and equitable distribution of development in a region. Road damage that occurs disrupts the activities and routines of residents. Lhokseumawe City as the center of economic and social development in its region requires an efficient system for the management and maintenance of road infrastructure. The reason is that many road damages occur in Lhokseumawe City that have not been repaired due to limited damage information so reports are needed from residents to find out the location of the road damage so that it is easier for the Lhokseumawe City government to follow up on the report. With these problems, a geographic information system for reporting road damage is created. It is hoped that the government can follow up on the report and prioritize damage with the highest group, which groups road damage using the clustering method. This web-based information system is designed using the UML (Unified Modeling Language) model with the PHP programming language and uses MySQL as its database. With this system, the government can receive reports of existing damage and group the damage into three levels to determine the priority of road repairs to be carried out.

Selling Misleading "Cancer Cure" Books on Amazon: Systematic Search on Amazon.com and Thematic Analysis.

While the evidence base on web-based cancer misinformation continues to develop, relatively little is known about the extent of such information on the world's largest e-commerce website, Amazon. Multiple media reports indicate that Amazon may host on its platform questionable cancer-related products for sale, such as books on purported cancer cures. This context suggests an urgent need to evaluate Amazon.com for cancer misinformation. This study sought to (1) examine to what extent are misleading cancer cure books for sale on Amazon.com and (2) determine how cancer cure books on Amazon.com provide misleading cancer information. We searched "cancer cure" on Amazon.com and retrieved the top 1000 English-language book search results. We reviewed the books' descriptions and titles to determine whether the books provided misleading cancer cure or treatment information. We considered a book to be misleading if it suggested scientifically unsupported cancer treatment approaches to cure or meaningfully treat cancer. Among books coded as misleading, we conducted an inductive latent thematic analysis to determine the informational value the books sought to offer. Nearly half (494/1000, 49.4%) of the sampled "cancer cure" books for sale on Amazon.com appeared to contain misleading cancer treatment and cure information. Overall, 17 (51.5%) out of 33 Amazon.com results pages had 50% or more of the books coded as misleading. The first search result page had the highest percentage of misleading books (23/33, 69.7%). Misleading books (n=494) contained eight themes: (1) claims of efficacious cancer cure strategies (n=451, 91.3%), (2) oversimplifying cancer and cancer treatment (n=194, 39.3%), (3) falsely justifying ineffective treatments as science based (n=189, 38.3%), (4) discrediting conventional cancer treatments (n=169, 34.2%), (5) finding the true cause of cancer (n=133, 26.9%), (6) homogenizing cancer (n=132, 26.7%), (7) discovery of new cancer treatments (n=119, 24.1%), and (8) cancer cure suppression (n=82, 16.6%). The results demonstrate that misleading cancer cure books are for sale, visible, and prevalent on Amazon.com, with prominence in initial search hits. These misleading books for sale on Amazon can be conceived of as forming part of a wider, cross-platform, web-based information environment in which misleading cancer cures are often given prominence. Our results suggest that greater enforcement is needed from Amazon and that cancer-focused organizations should engage in preemptive misinformation debunking.

SIMPONIS: A Web-Based Student Violation Point Information System for Enhanced Efficiency and Transparency with an Early Warning Feature

Readability Level of Spanish Language Online Health Information: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Because there is limited online health information in Spanish and it is critical to raise health literacy among Spanish-speaking people, it is essential to assess the readability level of Spanish material. Method: This systematic review included all articles published up to January 3, 2024, and used the CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases. The objective was to include the body of knowledge on published articles on the readability levels of Spanish-language, web-based health information intended for lay audiences. Results: There were 27 articles in the final review. Within these articles, 11 tools were used in the Spanish language text. Of the tools, INFLESZ was the most frequently used and the FRY formula, Flesch-Szigriszt Index, and Flesch Formula Index were least used. Most materials (85.2%) reported readability levels of online Spanish information above the 8th grade reading level. Conclusions: The findings show the lack of internet-based Spanish language health information and materials at a recommended (e.g., 5th to 8th grade) reading level. More research is needed to determine which readability tests are more accurate for calculating the readability of Spanish web health information.
