PENGEMBANGAN SISTEM PELAYANAN AIR BERSIH DI KELURAHAN GURABUNGA KOTA TIDORE KEPULAUAN

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

Acoustic echo cancellation using adaptive filtering algorithms for quranic accents (Qiraat) identification

Echoed parts of Quranic accent (Qiraat) signals are exposed to reverberation of signals especially if they are listened to in a conference room or the Quranic recordings found in different media such as the web. Quranic verse rules identification/Tajweed are prone to additive noise and may reduce classification results. This research work aims to present our work towards Quranic accents (Qiraat) identification, which emphasizes on acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) of all echoed Quranic signals during the preprocessing phase of the system development. In order to conduct the AEC, three adaptive algorithms known as affine projection (AP), least mean square (LMS), and recursive least squares (RLS) are used during the preprocessing phase. Once clean Quranic signals are produced, they undergo feature extraction and pattern classification phases. The Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients is the most widely used technique for feature extraction and is adopted in this research work, whereas probabilities principal component analysis (PPCA), K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and gaussian mixture model (GMM) are used for pattern classification. In order to verify our methodology, audio files have been collected for Surat Ad-Duhaa for five different Quranic accents (Qiraat), namely: (1) Ad-Duri, (2) Al-Kisaie, (3) Hafs an A’asem, (4) IbnWardan, and (5) Warsh. Based on our experimental results, the AP algorithm achieved 93.9 % accuracy rate against all pattern classification techniques including PPCA, KNN, and GMM. For LMS and RLS, the achieved accuracy rates are different for PPCA, KNN, and GMM, whereby LMS with PPCA and GMM achieved the same accuracy rate of 96.9 %; however, LMS with KNN achieved 84.8 %. In addition, RLS with PPCA and GMM achieved the same accuracy rate of 90.9 %; however, RLS with KNN achieved 78.8 %. Therefore, the AP adaptive algorithm is able to reduce the echo of Quranic accents (Qiraat) signals in a consistent manner against all pattern classification techniques

Decidual killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (kir)2dl1 expression and the onset of preeclampsia, birth weight and placental weight in early and late onset preeclampsia

Introduction Successful remodelling of spiral artery ensures adequate uteroplacental perfusion and sufficient nutrient supply to the fetus. HLA-C interaction with maternal KIR determines the outcome of spiral artery remodelling. Strong inhibitory KIR2DL1 lower the expression of cytokines and angiogenic factors affecting uteroplacental perfusion and nutrient supply. Material and methods We analysed the decidual expression of KIR2DL1 in early and late preeclampsia groups by quantitative immunohistochemistry using anti human-KIR2DL1/CD158a antibody and its correlation with preeclampsia onset, birth weight and placental weight. 35 patients, 14 patients with early onset preeclampsia (EO-PE) and 21 with late preeclampsia (LO-PE) were analysed. Result There was a significant difference between the expression of KIR2DL1 between the EO-PE and LO-PE group (p < 0,001) with a strong negative correlation between decidual expression of KIR2DL1 and preeclampsia onset (p < 0,001, r = −0,723), birth weight (p < 0,001, r = −0,770) and placental weight (p < 0,001, r = −0,770). Conclusion In patients with EO-PE, the higher placental of KIR2DL1 and inhibitory KIR2DL1 contributes to earlier onset of preeclampsia, lower birth weight of the baby and low placental weight. The strong negative correlation might be due to much lower expression of cytokines and angiogenic factors in higher KIR2DL1 expression samples. The different expression of KIR2DL1 between EO-PE and LO-PE is in line with current concepts on different pathophysiologic pathway leading to these different PE phenotypes

Differential modulation of immune response and cytokine profiles in the bursae and spleen of chickens infected with very virulent infectious bursal disease virus

Background: Very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) induces immunosuppression and inflammation in young birds, which subsequently leads to high mortality. In addition, infectious bursal disease (IBD) is one of the leading causes of vaccine failure on farms. Therefore, understanding the immunopathogenesis of IBDV in both the spleen and the bursae could help effective vaccine development. However, previous studies only profiled the differential expression of a limited number of cytokines, in either the spleen or the bursae of Fabricius of IBDV-infected chickens. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo immunoregulatory effects of vvIBDV infection on macrophage-like cells, spleen and bursae of Fabricius. Results: The viral load was increased during the progression of the in vitro infection in the HD11 macrophage cell line and in vivo, but no significant difference was observed between the spleen and the bursae tissue. vvIBDV infection induced the expression of pro-inflammatory and Th1 cytokines, and chemokines from HD11 cells in a time- and dosage-dependent manner. Furthermore, alterations in the lymphocyte populations, cytokine and chemokine expression, were observed in the vvIBDV-infected spleens and bursae. A drastic rise was detected in numbers of macrophages and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in the spleen, as early as 2 days post-infection (dpi). On 4 dpi, macrophage and T lymphocyte infiltration, associated with the peak expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the bursae tissues of infected chickens were observed. The majority of the significantly regulated pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, in vvIBDV-infected spleens and bursae, were also detected in vvIBDV-infected HD11 cells. This cellular infiltration subsequently resulted in a sharp rise in nitric oxide (NO) and lipid peroxidation levels. Conclusion: This study suggests that macrophage may play an important role in regulating the early expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, first in the spleen and then in the bursae, the latter tissue undergoing macrophage infiltration at 4 dpi
