Analisis Peringkat Lokasi Potensial Taman Kota Depok Di Tingkat Kecamatan Menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografis Dan Topsis, Revi Hernina, Yusuf Abdurrohim, Arif Wicaksono

Jurnal Pendidikan Geografi: Kajian, Teori, dan Praktek dalam Bidang Pendidikan dan Ilmu Geografi

Artikel ini menyajikan alternatif peringkat dari 113 lokasi potensial taman Kota Depok di tingkat kecamatan. Lokasi potensial ini dipilih karena memiliki luas ≥24.000 m2 dan <144.000 m2 berdasarkan klasifikasi taman kecamatan. Tiga kriteria spasial berbentuk data vektor, yaitu panjang jalan, wilayah potensial ruang terbuka hijau (RTH), dan luas lokasi diproses dengan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) kemudian diberi bobot menggunakan metode peringkat. Dalam setiap kolom atribut spasial, 3 kriteria tersebut diproses dengan metode Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) untuk menghasilkan solusi ideal positif (r+) and ideal negatif (r -). Nilai solusi ini dikomputasi menjadi nilai relative closeness (ci+) untuk setiap lokasi taman. Kriteria panjang jalan dan wilayah RTH potensial diklasifikasikan sebagai benefit indices sedangkan luas lokasi taman sebagai cost indices. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa lokasi taman kecamatan potensial dengan peringkat pertama memiliki nilai ci+ 0,83, sementara peringkat terakhir memiliki nilai ci+ 0,039. Untuk menganalisis kinerja lokasi taman potensial yang dihasilkan TOPSIS terhadap target kebutuhan taman, maka dilakukan prediksi kebutuhan jumlah unit dan luas taman kecamatan berdasarkan proyeksi penduduk tahun 2030 dan 2040. Selanjutnya simulasi prosentase pembangunan taman kecamatan hasil metode TOPSIS diklasifikasi menjadi 3 skenario yaitu skenario I (100%), skenario II (50%), dan skenario III (10%). Dapat disimpulkan untuk penerapan skenario I, hasil studi ini diprediksikan mampu melayani kebutuhan luas taman kecamatan di Kota Depok sampai tahun 2040. Sedangkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan unit taman kecamatan sampai tahun 2040, skenario I masih bisa diaplikasikan pada 8 kecamatan atau 72,72% dari seluruh kecamatan di Kota Depok.

Bunching In Real-Estate Markets: Regulated Building Heights In New York City, Jan K. Brueckner, David Leather, Michael Zerecero

Business Faculty Articles and Research

This paper presents a real-estate application of the bunching methodology widely used in other areas of applied microeconomics. The focus is on regulated building heights in New York City, where developers can exceed a parcel’s regulated height by incurring additional costs. Using the bunching methodology, we estimate the magnitude of these extra costs, with the results showing a modest increase in the marginal cost of floor space beyond the regulated building height. We use these estimates to predict the additional floor space that would be created by complete removal of building-height regulation in NYC. While this last exercise is circumscribed …

Unpacking The Science Of Reading Research, Greta Rollo, Kellie Picker

Literacy and numeracy

The science of reading (SoR) is a term used for a body of evidence encompassing multi-disciplinary research from education, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience. This evidence points to six key constructs that contribute to proficient reading: oral language, phonological awareness including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension. Research around these constructs provides researchers and teachers with an evidence base of the knowledge, skills and strategies involved in competent reading and describes how reading develops in both typical and atypical readers. This paper synthesises evidence reviews conducted by ACER researchers that unpack the science of reading. The aim of …

Predicting Homelessness: Housing Risk Insights From Latent Class Analysis, Katherine E. Marcal, Nicholas Barr

Social Work Faculty Research

Millions of families with children in the U.S. struggle to afford adequate housing. Housing cost burden places families at risk for homelessness, and prevention efforts are hindered by limited understanding of insecure housing experiences at the margins. The present study investigated variation in housing insecurity experiences in a sample of mothers, as well as which risk profiles were most strongly associated with subsequent homelessness. Latent class analysis identified four distinct subgroups of housing insecurity: “Stable,” “Unstable,” “Rent-Focused,” and “Strategic Bill-Paying.” Classes differed on whether they made rent or utility payments on time, experienced utility shutoffs, or were evicted. Mothers who …

Cell-Specific Single Viral Vector Crispr/Cas9 Editing And Genetically Encoded Tool Delivery In The Central And Peripheral Nervous Systems, Jamie C Moffa, India N Bland, Jessica R Tooley, Vani Kalyanaraman, Monique Heitmeier, Meaghan C Creed, Bryan A Copits

2020-Current year OA Pubs

CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing represents an exciting avenue to study genes of unknown function and can be combined with genetically encoded tools such as fluorescent proteins, channelrhodopsins, DREADDs, and various biosensors to more deeply probe the function of these genes in different cell types. However, current strategies to also manipulate or visualize edited cells are challenging due to the large size of Cas9 proteins and the limited packaging capacity of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs). To overcome these constraints, we developed an alternative gene editing strategy using a single AAV vector and mouse lines that express Cre-dependent Cas9 to achieve efficient cell-type specific …

A Biobehavioral Observational Study To Understand The Multilevel Determinants Of Cardiovascular Health In Black Women: The Bloom Study Protocol, Yue Liao, R. Matthew Brothers, Kyrah K. Brown, Rebecca E. Lee

Open Initiatives Grant Funded Publications-Archive

Background The racial/ethnic and gender disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality in the United States are evident. Across nearly every metric, non-Hispanic Black women have poorer overall cardiovascular health. Emerging evidence shows a disproportionately high burden of increased CVD risk factors in Black women of childbearing age, which has a far-reaching impact on both maternal and child outcomes, resulting in premature onset of CVD and further widens the racial disparities in CVD. There is growing recognition that the fundamental driver of persistent racial/ethnic disparities in CVD, as well as disparities in behavioral risk factors such as physical activity …

Malposition Of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (Peg) Tube Through The Transverse Colon: A Novel Approach To Conservative Management, Joel Calafell

All Publications

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common technique for enteral nutrition support. Complications range from skin injuries and leakage to more severe intraabdominal pathologies. This case report describes a patient with invasive right lateral pharyngeal wall squamous cell carcinoma who developed a gastrocolocutaneous fistula following PEG tube malpositioning in the transverse colon performed at an outside institution. Based on the patient's comorbidities and the associated high-risk nature of the surgery, a transverse colectomy and partial gastrectomy to resect the malpositioned tube followed by a new PEG tube was deemed invasive and would likely have a poor clinical outcome. Instead, the …

Transcriptional Precision In Photoreceptor Development And Diseases - Lessons From The Retinal Transcription Factor Crx, Yiqiao Zheng

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Precise gene expression programs are foundational to organism development and homeostasis. Transcription factors play a central role in establishing and maintaining these programs. Large-scale transcriptomic studies have generated parts lists of transcription factors. However, these descriptive works rarely formulate a cohesive model of how these transcription factors work together to support a functional organism. Mutations that affect transcription factor functions can lead to a broad range of human diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the principles that transcription factors achieve spatial, temporal, and quantitative precision in their regulated gene expression programs. I have investigated transcriptional regulation in rod and …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

It is important to address the concept of parental involvement in school-based mental health counseling in order to address the presence of mental health issues in students. In school-based mental health services, enlisting parent engagement in adolescent interventions can be difficult and can, therefore, inhibit positive adolescent mental health outcomes. This case study examined an educational organization in the southwestern United States to identify barriers inhibiting parent involvement in adolescent school-based mental health and to explore strategies to encourage parent engagement. The Baldrige performance excellence framework was utilized as a guide to inform an understanding of the organization’s mission, strategic …

Dissociation Of Reading And Naming In Ventral Occipitotemporal Cortex, Oscar Woolnough, Nitin Tandon

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Lesions in the language-dominant ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) can result in selective impairment of either reading or naming, resulting in alexia or anomia. Yet, functional imaging studies that show differential activation for naming and reading do not reveal activity exclusively tuned to one of these inputs. To resolve this dissonance in the functional architecture of the vOTC, we used focused stimulation to the vOTC in 49 adult patients during reading and naming, and generated a population-level, probabilistic map to evaluate if reading and naming are clearly dissociable within individuals. Language mapping (50 Hz, 2829 stimulations) was performed during passage reading …

Understanding and treating human diseases require valid animal models. Leveraging the genetic diversity in rhesus macaque populations across eight primate centers in the United States, we conduct targeted-sequencing on 1845 individuals for 374 genes linked to inherited human retinal and neurodevelopmental diseases. We identify over 47,000 single nucleotide variants, a substantial proportion of which are shared with human populations. By combining rhesus and human allele frequencies with established variant prediction methods, we develop a machine learning-based score that outperforms established methods in predicting missense variant pathogenicity. Remarkably, we find a marked number of loss-of-function variants and putative deleterious variants, which …
