Combined use of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data for improving above-ground biomass estimation

Abstract: Above-ground Biomass (AGB) represents the largest amount of biomass found on earth. Passive and active remote sensors have been a useful tool in estimating AGB for this purpose; nevertheless, both ...

Students’ understanding of “Women-Centred Care Philosophy” in midwifery care through Continuity of Care (CoC) learning model: a quasi-experimental study

Abstract: The philosophy of midwifery education is based on the ‘Women-centred care’ model, which provides holistic care to women. Continuity of care (CoC) is integral to the concept of holistic women-centred care and fundamental to midwifery practice. The objective of this study was to determine any differences in students’ understanding of midwifery care philosophy between students who underwent the CoC learning model and those who underwent the fragmented care learning model.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Pengembangan Desa Wisata Dan Implikasinya Terhadap Ketahanan Sosial Budaya Wilayah (Studi Di Desa Wisata Penglipuran Bali)

Abstract: The objective of this research was to understood the process of community empowerment through the development of tourism village in Penglipuran’s Tourism Village and its implications related to the village’s socio-cultural resilience. The research had led to the finding that the process of community empowerment consisted of three stages.The stages were public awareness, giving capacity and empowerment. The form of community empowerment involving public participation starting from planning, implementation and evaluation. Problems of community empowerment relating to maintained culture and customs from modernitation influence,the attitude of society, human resources, accomodation tourist availability and promotion activities.In result, empowerment of communities through the development of tourism village in Penglipuran’s village was giving implemented in socio-cultural resilience such as strengthening and some changes in the social and cultural values and environment ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami berlangsungnya proses pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pengembangan desa wisata di Desa Wisata Penglipuran dan implikasinya terhadap ketahanan sosial budaya wilayah. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa proses pemberdayaan masyarakat di Desa Wisata Penglipuran berlangsung dalam tiga tahap yaitu tahap penyadaran, pengkapasitasan dan pemberian daya. Bentuk-bentuk pemberdayaan masyarakat melibatkan partisipasi masyarakat mulai dari perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasi. Adapun kendala-kendala dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat berkaitan dengan usaha mempertahankan budaya dan adat istiadat dari arus modernisasi, sikap masyarakat, terbatasnya sumber daya manusia dan ketersediaan akomodasi wisata serta kurangnya kegiatan promosi.Pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pengembangan desa wisata memberikan implikasi terhadap ketahanan sosial budaya wilayah berupa penguatan dan beberapa perubahan pada tata nilai sosial, budaya dan lingkungan

The calamity of eruptions, or an eruption of benefits? Mt. Bromo human–volcano system a case study of an open-risk perception

Abstract: . In this paper we investigate the question not of how, but why people actively choose to live with continued exposure to considerable hazard. A field survey of the human–volcano interaction at Bromo Volcano was based on semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The recorded interviews were transcribed and analysed according to recurrent themes in the answers. Findings from field investigation were then confronted with previous existing concepts of human exposure to natural hazards. The result shows that the interaction between humans and the volcanic environment at Bromo volcano is multifaceted and complex. The Tengger people choose – rather than being forced – to live with volcanic hazards. They are not only exposed to its negative consequence, but also enjoy benefits and opportunities of physical, spiritual and socio-cultural nature that arise within the human–volcanic system. Following this perspective, the concept of risk itself must be revisited and expanded from a one-sided focus on hazardous processes to a more holistic view of risk that includes the various positive aspects that pertain to the entire system. The development of a generic human–volcanic system model could provide the basis for the development of an open-risk concept.

Resveratrol Ameliorates Intestinal Barrier Defects and Inflammation in Colitic Mice and Intestinal Cells.

Abstract: This study is aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of resveratrol in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model and intestinal Caco-2 cells, focusing on neutrophil infiltration and tight junction (TJ) barriers. DSS administration caused body weight loss (day8, control 104 ± 1, DSS 72 ± 2%, p < 0.05), shortening of colon length (control 5.1 ± 0.1, DSS 3.8 ± 0.1 cm, p < 0.05), pro-inflammatory cytokines increase-including interleukin (IL)-1β (control 1.0 ± 0.2, DSS 58.5 ± 29.6 arbitrary unit (AU), p < 0.05), IL-6 (control 1.0 ± 0.3, DSS 312 ± 82 AU, p < 0.05), and chemokine motif ligand 2 (CXCL-2, a murine IL-8 homologue, control 1.0 ± 0.4, DSS 696 ± 262 AU, p < 0.05), decreased TJ proteins (e.g., occludin, control 1.0 ± 0.05, DSS 0.11 ± 0.03 AU, p < 0.05), and neutrophil infiltration (control 1.2 ± 0.2, DSS 25.9 ± 1.1 cells, p < 0.05). Supplemental resveratrol (0.1% (w/w) in the diet) partially or totally reversed these symptoms (body weight change 100 ± 1, colon length 4.6 ± 0.1; IL-1β 5.9 ± 1.8, IL-6 10 ± 3, CXCL-2 14 ± 7, occludin 0.76 ± 0.06, neutrophil infiltration 9.3 ± 0.7, p < 0.05). Pretreatment of intestinal Caco-2 cells with resveratrol suppressed the TNF-α-induced production of IL-8 (control 1.00 ± 0.04, TNFα 3.40 ± 0.16, TNFα+Res 1.81 ± 0.28 AU, p < 0.05) and phosphorylation of the inflammatory signaling molecules including NF-κB, extracellular signal-regulated kinase and stress c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase. Collectively, the reduction of TJ barrier defect and IL-8 in intestinal cells, leading to reduced neutrophil infiltration into colonic tissues, appears to be one of the central mechanisms for the resveratrol-mediated effect.
