AbstrakKeberadaan Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah di Provinsi Bengkulu memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam upaya mitigasi bencana dikarenakan Bengkulu merupakan wilayah rentan terjadi bencana. Salah satu potensi bencana yang menjadi perhatian besar di provinsi Bengkulu yakni banjir. Oleh karena itu penelitian terkait pola komunikasi bencana yang dilakukan terhadap masyarkat di sekitar daerah aliran sungai Lemau yang mana merupakan wilayah rentan terdampak banjir perlu untuk dianalisis dan dievaluasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode observasi dan wawancara. Observasi yang dilakukan yakni berupa pengamatan terhadap media komunikasi yang digunakan Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah Provinsi Bengkulu yakni media sosial (facebook dan instagram). Wawancara dilakukan kepada Kepala Bidang Pra-Bencana BPBD Provinsi Bengkulu. Temuan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pola komunikasi yang dilakukan Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah Provinsi Bengkulu dalam hal mitigasi bencana berupa koordinasi antar satuan kerja pemerintah daerah. Sedangkan komunikasi dengan memanfaatkan media sosial belum terfokus pada upaya mitigasi bencana melainkan kegiatan ceremonial instansi tersebut. AbstractThe existence of the Bengkulu Province Regional Disaster Management Agency has a very important role in disaster mitigation efforts because Bengkulu is a disaster-prone area. One of the potential disasters that is of great concern in Bengkulu province is flooding. Therefore, research related to disaster communication patterns carried out on the community around the Lemau river basin, which is a vulnerable area affected by floods, needs to be analyzed and evaluated. This research was conducted by observation and interview methods. The observations made were in the form of observations on the communication media used by the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bengkulu Province, namely social media (Facebook and Instagram). The interview was conducted with the Head of the Pre-Disaster Division of BPBD Bengkulu Province. The findings in this study showed that the communication pattern carried out by the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bengkulu Province in terms of disaster mitigation in the form of coordination between local government work units. At the same time, communication by utilizing social media has not been focused on disaster mitigation efforts but rather on ceremonial activities of the agency

High-intensity interval training versus moderate-intensity continuous training within cardiac rehabilitation:a systematic review and meta-analysis

Aerobic capacity has been shown to be inversely proportionate to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and there is growing evidence that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) appears to be more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in improving cardiorespiratory fitness within the cardiac population. Previously published systematic reviews in cardiovascular disease have neither investigated the effect that the number of weeks of intervention has on cardiorespiratory fitness changes, nor have adverse events been collated.We aimed to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) within the cardiac population that investigated cardiorespiratory fitness changes resulting from HIIT versus MICT and to collate adverse events.A critical narrative synthesis and meta-analysis was conducted after systematically searching relevant databases up to July 2017. We searched for RCTs that compared cardiorespiratory fitness changes resulting from HIIT versus MICT interventions within the cardiac population.Seventeen studies, involving 953 participants (465 for HIIT and 488 for MICT) were included in the analysis. HIIT was significantly superior to MICT in improving cardiorespiratory fitness overall (SMD 0.34 mL/kg/min; 95% confidence interval [CI; 0.2-0.48]; p6-week duration. Programs of 7-12 weeks' duration resulted in the largest improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness for patients with coronary artery disease. HIIT appears to be as safe as MICT for CR participants

Analysis of Race and Sex Bias in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2)

Importance: There are long-standing disparities in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across race and sex. Surprisingly, few studies have examined whether these disparities arise partially out of systematic biases in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), the reference standard measure of ASD. Objective: To examine differential item functioning (DIF) of ADOS-2 items across sex and race. Design, Setting, and Participants: This is a cross-sectional study of children who were evaluated for ASD between 2014 and 2020 at a specialty outpatient clinic located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to February 2022. Exposures: Child race (Black/African American vs White) and sex (female vs male). Main Outcomes and Measures: Item-level biases across ADOS-2 harmonized algorithm items, including social affect (SA; 10 items) and repetitive/restricted behaviors (RRBs; 4 items), were evaluated across 3 modules. Measurement bias was identified by examining DIF and differential test functioning (DTF), within a graded response, item response theory framework. Statistical significance was determined by a likelihood ratio χ2 test, and a series of metrics was used to examine the magnitude of DIF and DTF. Results: A total of 6269 children (mean [SD] age, 6.77 [3.27] years; 1619 Black/African American [25.9%], 3151 White [50.3%], and 4970 male [79.4%]), were included in this study. Overall, 16 of 140 ADOS-2 diagnostic items (11%) had a significant DIF. For race, 8 items had a significant DIF, 6 of which involved SA. No single item showed DIF consistently across all modules. Most items with DIF had greater difficulty and poorer discrimination in Black/African American children compared with White children. For sex, 5 items showed significant DIF. DIF was split across SA and RRB. However, hand mannerisms evidenced DIF across all 5 algorithms, with generally greater difficulty. The magnitude of DIF was only moderate to large for 2 items: hand mannerisms (among female children) and repetitive interests (among Black/African American children). The overall estimated effect of DIF on total DTF was not large. Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest that the ADOS-2 does not have widespread systematic measurement bias across race or sex. However, the findings raise some concerns around underdetection that warrant further research

Profiles and Correlates of Language and Social Communication Differences Among Young Autistic Children

Delays in early language development are characteristic of young autistic children, and one of the most recognizable first concerns that motivate parents to seek a diagnostic evaluation for their child. Although early language abilities are one of the strongest predictors of long-term outcomes, there is still much to be understood about the role of language impairment in the heterogeneous phenotypic presentation of autism. Using a personcentered, Latent Profile Analysis, we first aimed to identify distinct patterns of language and social communication ability in a clinic-based sample of 498 autistic children, ranging in age from 18 to 60 months (M = 33 mo, SD = 12 mo). Next, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was implemented to examine sociodemographic and child-based developmental differences among the identified language and social communication profiles. Three clinically meaningful profiles were identified from parent-rated and clinician-administered measures: Profile 1 (48% of the sample) “Relatively Low Language and Social Communication Abilities,” Profile 2 (34% of the sample) “Relatively Elevated Language and Social Communication Abilities,” and Profile 3 (18% of the sample) “Informant Discrepant Language and Relatively Elevated Social Communication Abilities.” Overall, young autistic children from the lowest-resource households exhibited the lowest language and social communication abilities, and the lowest non-verbal problem-solving and fine-motor skills, along with more features of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and atypical auditory processing. These findings highlight the need for effective community-based implementation strategies for young autistic children from low-resource households and underrepresented communities to improve access to individualized quality care
