    Sistem jaringan air bersih adalah suatu sistem suplai air bersih yang meliputi sistem transmisi, dan reservoir serta sistem distribusi atau perpipaan yang dioperasikan sedemikian rupa sehingga mendapat tekanan yang cukup setiap saat pada seluruh bagian sistem perpipaan dan dapat digunakan untuk pemakaian setiap saat. Kelurahan Gurabunga terletak di Kecamatan Tidore Kota Tidore Kepulauan. Saat ini belum ada sistem jaringan untuk kebutuhan air bersih oleh PDAM di kelurahan Gurabunga, disebabkan karena wilayah tersebut berada pada daerah ketinggian yang secara teknis sulit dilayani dari sumber air yang ada, disamping itu wilayah tersebut juga terpisah dari pusat kota,sehingga perlu direncanakan sistem jaringan baru agar pendistribusian air bersih di daerah tersebut dapat terlayani.Sistem jaringan air bersih direncanakan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan air bersih di wilayah studi sampai tahun 2032. Kebutuhan air bersih dihitung berdasarkan proyeksi jumlah penduduk yang pertumbuhannya dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisa eksponensial. Sumber air akan dimanfaatkan melalui sumur milik PDAM yang ada pada dataran rendah, awalnya air akan ditampung terlebih dahulu pada bak penampung 1, yang kemudian dipompa melalui pipa transmisi menuju pada bak penampung 2, selanjutnya air dipompa menuju reservoir, dan melalui pipa distribusi air akan dialiri secara gravitasi menuju ke hidran umum yang tersebar di daerah layanan.Dari hasil perhitungan analisis kebutuhan air bersih di Kelurahan Gurabunga pada tahun 2032 dengan jumlah penduduk 704 jiwa mencapai 0,381 liter/detik. Reservoir bertipe ground reservoir dengan ukuran 3 m x 2,5 m x 2 m. Sistem distribusi menggunakan sistem kombinasi antara sistem pemompaan dan gravitasi, dengan hasil perhitungan diameter pipa transmisi adalah 75 mm dan pipa distribusi bervariasi antara 15 mm – 25 mm. Untuk mendesain sistem penyediaan air bersih digunakan software EPANET 2.0.Kata kunci : Air bersih, Perpipaan, Sistem Penyediaan

    A Dynamic Analysis of the Relationship among Human Development, Exports and Economic Growth in Pakistan.

    This study investigates the econometrically empirical evidence of both the short-run and long-run interrelationships among human development, exports and economic growth in an ARDL framework for Pakistan. This study also examines causal linkages among the said variables by applying the Augmented Granger Causality test of Toda-Yamamoto (1995). By using data on Pakistan’s real GDP, real exports and Human Development Index (HDI) for the period 1970-71 to 2008-09, three models have been estimated. The results show cointegration between economic growth, physical capital, real exports and human development when human development is taken as dependent variables. Furthermore, unidirectional Granger causality running from real GDP to real exports has been found in Bivariate, Trivariate and Tetravariate causality framework. The inclusion of HDI as a measure of human development reduces the physical capital share in real GDP whereas it improves the robustness of the regression model. Real GDP seems to provide resources to improve human development in only the long-run while human capital accumulation does not seem to accelerate real GDP both in the short-run and the long-run. The empirical results of the study do not support ‘export-led growth hypothesis’ and human capital-based endogenous growth theory in case of Pakistan, however, it does support ‘growth-driven exports hypothesis’ in case of Pakistan.

    Applicants\u27 interview experience of family medicine residency match: Reflections from a quality improvement initiative at a community hospital

    Get PDF
    Background and objective: Both family medicine applicants and programs dedicate significant resources to the interview process, a time for both parties to make an impression on the other in an attempt to find their best match. Despite the importance of this process, little research has been completed to ensure the process efficiently addresses applicant preferences on interview day and the surrounding process. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the family medicine applicant preferences regarding the pre-interview, interview, and post-interview ranking process. Methods: The study method was a cross-sectional electronic survey utilizing anonymous questionnaires that assessed demographics, pre-interview, interview, post-interview ranking preference, and applicants\u27 experiences applying to a community-based family medicine residency program after their interview for the 2020 application cycle.Results: Out of the 106 family medicine applicants, 48 responded; 52.08% were males, 52.5% were married, 58.33% applicants were from the osteopathic medical school, 33.33% were from the allopathic Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) non accredited medical school/international medical graduates (IMG\u27s), and 8.33% were from the allopathic LCME accredited medical schools. Free hotel accommodation was not offered from half of the programs to 27.8% of the applicants in the 2020 match cycle (pre-pandemic). Respondents favored electronic means of scheduling interviews with a positive experience with the online self-scheduling Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) calendar. A significantly higher proportion of IMGs applied to a higher number of family medicine programs followed by the osteopathic applicants. There was no statistical difference found between osteopathic and allopathic applicants for the number of programs they got invited to; however, the difference was significant for osteopathic and allopathic LCME accredited applicants who interviewed and ranked programs in the range of 11-20 (62.96%, p=0.0013 and 66.67%, p=0.0018, respectively). The respondents\u27 most important experiences were interviewing the program director, faculty members, and tour the hospital facility. When ranking programs, these family medicine applicants considered the strength of program training, the quality of current residents, and the program\u27s geographic location as the top three most significant factors, with mean importance ratings of 5.08, 5.02, and 4.35, respectively. Applicants also considered how the current residents perceive the program director, prior teaching experience, and program diversity with mean importance ratings of 3.42, 2.89, and 2.09, respectively.Conclusion: Although applicants\u27 preferences for family medicine residency programs are similar to generally reported by The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) surveys, some key differences do exist. The program leadership should consider these preferences from the candidates’ perspective for a successful match in family medicine residency on both sides

    Detecting exosomes specifically: a multiplexed device based on alternating current electrohydrodynamic induced nanoshearing

    Get PDF
    Exosomes show promise as non-invasive biomarkers for cancers, but their effective capture and specific detection is a significant challenge. Herein, we report a multiplexed microfluidic device for highly specific capture and detection of multiple exosome targets using a tuneable alternating current electrohydrodynamic (ac-EHD) methodology - referred to as nanoshearing. In our system, electrical body forces generated by ac-EHD act within nanometers of an electrode surface (i.e., within the electrical layer) to generate nanoscaled fluid flow which enhances the specificity of capture and also reduce nonspecific adsorption of weakly bound molecules from the electrode surface. This approach demonstrates the analysis of exosomes derived from cells expressing human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and prostate specific antigen (PSA), and exhibits a 5-fold detection enhancement compared to hydrodynamic flow based assays. The device was also sensitive enough to detect approximately 2750 exosomes/µL (n = 3) and also capable of specifically isolating exosomes from breast cancer patient samples. We believe this approach can potentially find its relevance as a simple and rapid quantification tool to analyze exosome targets in biological applications
