Analisis Debit Banjir Sungai Ranoyapo Menggunakan Metode Hss Gama-i Dan Hss Limantara

Sungai Ranoyapo adalah salah satu sungai di Sulawesi Utara yang rawan terhadap banjir. Daerah aliran sungainya mencakup beberapa daerah yang ada di Kabupaten Minahasa Selatan dengan luas DAS 770,888 km2. Sungai Ranoyapo merupakan sungai terpanjang di Kabupaten Minahasa. Perencanaan pengendalian banjir ataupun perencanaan teknik lain yang berhubungan dengan Sungai Ranoyapo dapat dilakukan dengan baik apabila debit banjir rencana di sungai ini diketahui.Analisis debit banjir rencana menggunakan metode HSS Gama I, HSS Limantara, dan analisis frekuensi. Nilai dari analisis menggunakan metode Hidrograf Satuan Sintetik (HSS) akan dibandingkan dengan metode analisis frekuensi, sehingga dapat diketahui metode HSS mana yang mendekati nilai analisis frekuensi debit langsung di sungai. Dilakukan juga analisis menggunakan metode Rasional, Melchior, Weduwen, dan Haspers.Dari hasil analisis, debit banjir rencana dengan berbagai kala ulang di setiap metode, memberikan hasil yang beragam. Hasil terbesar adalah HSS Gama I dan yang terkecil metode Melchior. Dalam perbandingan nilai debit banjir rencana antara HSS dan analisis frekuensi, maka HSS Limantara paling mendekati nilai debit banjir analisis frekuensi

Trust, Shared Understanding and Locus of Control in Mixed-Initiative Robotic Systems

This paper investigates how trust, shared under-standing between a human operator and a robot, and the Locus of Control (LoC) personality trait, evolve and affect Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in mixed-initiative robotic systems. As such systems become more advanced and able to instigate actions alongside human operators, there is a shift from robots being perceived as a tool to being a team-mate. Hence, the team-oriented human factors investigated in this paper (i.e. trust, shared understanding, and LoC) can play a crucial role in efficient HRI. Here, we present the results from an experiment inspired by a disaster response scenario in which operators remotely controlled a mobile robot in navigation tasks, with either human-initiative or mixed-initiative control, switching dynamically between two different levels of autonomy: teleoperation and autonomous navigation. Evidence suggests that operators trusted and developed an understanding of the robotic systems, especially in mixed-initiative control, where trust and understanding increased over time, as operators became more familiar with the system and more capable of performing the task. Lastly, evidence and insights are presented on how LoC affects HRI

Surgical Experience and Functional Outcomes after Laparoscopic and Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy : Results from a Multi-Institutional Collaboration

In patients treated with partial nephrectomy, prior evidence showed that peri-operative outcomes, such as complications and ischemia time, improved as a function of the surgical experience of the surgeon, but data on functional outcomes after surgery are still scarce. We retrospectively analyzed data of 4011 patients with a single, unilateral cT1a-b renal mass treated with laparoscopic or robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. The operations were performed by 119 surgeons at 22 participating institutions between 1997 and 2022. Multivariable models investigated the association between surgical experience (number of prior operations) and acute kidney injury (AKI) and recovery of at least 90% of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 1 yr after partial nephrectomy. The adjustment for case mix included age, Body Mass Index, preoperative serum creatinine, clinical T stage, PADUA score, warm ischemia time, pathologic tumor size, and year of surgery. A total of 753 (19%) and 3258 (81%) patients underwent laparoscopic and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, respectively. Overall, 37 (31%) and 55 (46%) surgeons contributed only to laparoscopic and robotic learning curves, respectively, whereas 27 (23%) contributed to the learning curves of both approaches. In the laparoscopic group, 8% and 55% of patients developed AKI and recovered at least 90% of their baseline eGFR, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, we did not find evidence of an association between surgical experience and AKI after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (odds ratio [OR]: 0.9992; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.9963, 1.0022; p = 0.6). Similar results were found when 1-year renal function was the outcome of interest (OR: 0.9996; 95% CI: 0.9988, 1.0005; p = 0.5). Among patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, AKI occurred in 11% of patients, whereas 54% recovered at least 90% of their baseline eGFR. On multivariable analyses, the relationship between surgical experience and AKI after surgery was not statistically significant (OR: 1.0015; 95% CI: 0.9992, 1.0037; p = 0.2), with similar results when the outcome of interest was renal function one year after surgery (OR: 1.0001; 95% CI: 0.9980, 1.0022; p = 0.9). Virtually the same findings were found on sensitivity analyses. In patients treated with laparoscopic or robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, our data suggest that the surgical experience of the operating surgeon might not be a key determinant of functional recovery after surgery. This raises questions about the use of serum markers to assess functional recovery in patients with two kidneys and opens the discussion on what are the key steps of the procedure that allowed surgeons to achieve optimal outcomes since their initial cases

Robot-assisted Boari flap and psoas hitch ureteric reimplantation: technique insight and outcomes of a case series with >= 1 year of follow-up

Objective To describe step-by-step surgical techniques and report outcomes of the largest single-centre series of patients with distal ureteric disease exclusively treated with robot-assisted ureteric reimplantation with Boari flap (RABFUR) and psoas hitch (RAPHUR), with a minimum follow-up of 1 year and complete postoperative data.Patients and Methods A total of 37 patients with distal ureteric disease were treated between 2010 and 2018. Of these, 81% and 19% underwent RAPHUR and RABFUR, respectively. Intra-, peri- and postoperative outcomes were assessed. The 90-day postoperative complications were reported according to the standardised methodology proposed by the European Association of Urology Ad Hoc Panel. Functional outcomes (creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) and postoperative symptoms (visual analogue pain scale) were assessed.Results The median operating time and blood loss were 180 min and 100 mL, respectively. There were no conversions to open surgery and no intraoperative transfusions. The median length of stay, bladder catheter indwelling time and stent removal were 4, 7 and 30 days, respectively. The median follow-up was 24 months. Overall, 10 patients (27%) had postoperative complications and of these, eight (22%) and two (5.4%) were Clavien-Dindo Grade I-II and III, respectively. At the last follow-up, the median postoperative creatinine level and eGFR were 0.9 mg/dL and 73.5 mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively. At the last follow-up, five (13.5%) and three (8%) patients had Grade 1 hydronephrosis and mild urinary symptoms, respectively. The study limitations include its retrospective nature.Conclusion In the present study, we present our RABFUR and RAPHUR techniques. We confirm the feasibility and safety profile of both approaches in patients with distal ureteric disease relying on the largest single-centre series with >= 1 year of follow-up.</p

ARL Monopod II

This paper presents the experimental implementation of an energy efficient &quot;Controlled Passive Dynamic Running&quot; strategy (CPDR) on a planar onelegged running robot with hip and leg compliance. The approach was introduced via simulations in [1], and tested via preliminary experiments [2]. The improved version described here permits running speed of up to 4:5km=h with a total mechanical power expenditure of only 48W , which translates into a specific resistance of only 0:22. This is the highest efficiency among all actively controlled legged robots. 1 Introduction Energy autonomy, and thus high energy efficiency is a necessity for virtually any practical mobile robot. This can be particularly challenging in legged robots, since a great deal of energy might be expended for internal motions which do not directly contribute to positive work in the direction of motion, such as maintaining vertical body oscillations or simply swinging the legs. One way to minimize this energy expenditure is..
