    The journey of underwater communication which began from Leonardo’s era took four and a half centuries to find practical applications for military purposes during World War II. However, over the last three decades, underwater acoustic communications witnessed a massive development due to the advancements in the design of underwater communicating peripherals and their supporting protocols. Successively, doors are opened for a wide range of applications to employ in the underwater environment, such as oceanography, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster prevention, navigation assistance, monitoring, coastal patrol and surveillance. Different applications may have different characteristics and hence, may require different network architectures. For instance, routing protocols designed for unpartitioned multi-hop networks are not suitable for Delay-Tolerant Networks. Furthermore, single-hop networks do not need routing protocols at all. Therefore, before developing a protocol one must study the network architecture properly and design it accordingly. There are several other factors which should also be considered with the network architecture while designing an efficient protocol for underwater networks, such as long propagation delay, limited bandwidth, limited battery power, high bit error rate of the channel and several other adverse properties of the channel, such as, multi-path, fading and refractive behaviors. Moreover, the environment also has an impact on the performance of the protocols designed for underwater networks. Even temperature changes in a single day have an impact on the performance of the protocols. A good protocol designed for any network should consider some or all of these characteristics to achieve better performance. In this thesis, we first discuss the impact of the environment on the performance of MAC and routing protocols. From our investigation, we discover that even temperature changes within a day may affect the sound speed profile and hence, the channel changes and the protocol performance vary. After that we discuss several protocols which are specifically designed for underwater acoustic networks to serve different purposes and for different network architectures. Underwater Selective Repeat (USR) is an error control protocol designed to assure reliable data transmission in the MAC layer. One may suspect that employing an error control technique over a channel which already suffers from long propagation delays is a burden. However, USR utilizes long propagation by transmitting multiple packets in a single RTT using an interlacing technique. After USR, a routing protocol for surveillance networks is discussed where some sensors are laid down at the bottom of the sea and some sinks are placed outside the area. If a sensor detects an asset within its detection range, it announces the presence of intruders by transmitting packets to the sinks. It may happen that the discovered asset is an enemy ship or an enemy submarine which creates noise to jam the network. Therefore, in surveillance networks, it is necessary that the protocols have jamming resistance capabilities. Moreover, since the network supports multiple sinks with similar anycast address, we propose a Jamming Resistance multi-path Multi-Sink Routing Protocol (MSRP) using a source routing technique. However, the problem of source routing is that it suffers from large overhead (every packet includes the whole path information) with respect to other routing techniques, and also suffers from the unidirectional link problem. Therefore, another routing protocol based on a distance vector technique, called Multi-path Routing with Limited Cross-Path Interference (L-CROP) protocol is proposed, which employs a neighbor-aware multi-path discovery algorithm to support low interference multiple paths between each source-destination pair. Following that, another routing protocol is discussed for next generation coastal patrol and surveillance network, called Underwater Delay-Tolerant Network (UDTN) routing where some AUVs carry out the patrolling work of a given area and report to a shore based control-center. Since the area to be patrolled is large, AUVs experience intermittent connectivity. In our proposed protocol, two nodes that understand to be in contact with each other calculate and divide their contact duration equally so that every node gets a fair share of the contact duration to exchange data. Moreover, a probabilistic spray technique is employed to restrict the number of packet transmissions and for error correction a modified version of USR is employed. In the appendix, we discuss a framework which was designed by our research group to realize underwater communication through simulation which is used in most of the simulations in this thesis, called DESERT Underwater (short for DEsign, Simulate, Emulate and Realize Test-beds for Underwater network protocols). It is an underwater extension of the NS-Miracle simulator to support the design and implementation of underwater network protocols. Its creation assists the researchers in to utilizing the same codes designed for the simulator to employ in actual hardware devices and test in the real underwater scenario

    Abstract Abstract. Background: Febrile neutropenia in malignancy children increase the risk of infection, morbidity and mortality. Microbiologically documented infection in pediatric malignancy has not been studied in Saiful Anwar Hospital. Purpose: Determine profile of blood, urine, sputum, and wound bed culture and antimicrobial sensitivities pattern in pediatric malignancy patients with febrile neutropenia. Methods: Pediatric malignancy patients with febrile neutropenia and microbiologically documented infection admitted to dr Saiful Anwar General Hospital Malang, were studied from 2016 to 2019. Bacterial and fungal etiology were identified, along with antimicrobial sensitivities patterns. Results: 53 (17%) of 307 pediatric malignancy patients with febrile neutropenia experienced 75 episodes of microbiologically documented infection. 40 (53,3%) gram-negative and 34 (45,3%) gram-positive isolated from 75 isolated pathogens. The most common gram-negative were Klebsiella pneumonia (n=15) and Escherichia coli (n=8). The most common gram-positive were Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (n=14) and Enterococcus faecalis (n=7). Escherichia coli, Coagulase-negative Staphylococci, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus were 100% sensitive to all tested antimicrobials. Klebsiella pneumonia and Acinetobacter baumanni were 100% sensitive to almost all tested antimicrobials. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found less sensitive (0-80%) to all tested antimicrobials. Conclusion: Investigation of antimicrobial sensitivities of these organisms may guide successful antimicrobial therapy and improve quality of pediatric malignancy care

    Planetary stewardship in an urbanizing world: beyond city limits

    No full text
    Cities are rapidly increasing in importance as a major factor shaping the Earth system, and as such must take corresponding responsibility. With currently over half of the world population, cities are supported by resources originating from primarily rural regions that are often located around the world far distant from the urban loci of use. The multiple and complex environmental and social challenges the world faces require interconnected solutions and a coordinated governance approach to planetary stewardship. There is a new opportunity to conceptualize a key component of planetary stewardship as a global system of cities that develop sustainable processes and policies in concert with its non-urban areas. The potential for cities to cooperate as a system and with rural connectivity could not only increase their capacity to effect change and foster stewardship at the planetary scale but also increase their resource security

    Under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP), Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) was burdened by too many projects. Therefore, financial and time losses sometimes occurred during the process of building procurement until project implementation when managing risks not properly. The aim of this study was to assess the maturity of risk management for construction projects in JKR. In order to achieve this aim, three objectives have been outlined in this study; to establish the relationship between attributes, to identify the high influence indices of risk management attributes for construction projects in JKR and to identify the current overall risk management maturity for construction projects in JKR. In this study, four attributes were chosen for JKR risk management maturity model. The four attributes namely culture/ awareness, experiences, processes and practices. Therefore, in this study had used four levels of maturity namely level 1: Initial, level 2: Established, level 3: Managed and level 4: Optimized. This study was conducted using a questionnaire survey among professional in all JKR branches which cover business sector, management sector, expert sector and JKR state. A total of 133 out of 580 completed questionnaires were returned. This research found a strong and positive relationship between processes attribute and experiences attribute [r=0.781,N=133, p=0.0005]. The high influence indices of risk management attributes for construction projects in JKR was the acceptance of risk management in JKR. The empirical research findings showed that the overall risk management maturity levels for construction projects in the JKR were 2.52. The four (4) attributes to assess risk management maturity for construction projects in JKR namely culture/ awareness, experiences, processes and practices were achieved between level 2 and level 3 or between “managed" and “optimized” based on the JKR Risk Management Maturity Model proposed in this research

    Asupan makanan yang kurang di Rumah sakit akan menyebabkan adanya sisa makanan pada alat saji pasien. Bentuk makanan yang ada di rumah sakit terdiri dari bentuk makanan biasa, lunak, saring dan cair. Pasien yang mendapatkan bentuk makanan modifikasi memiliki sisa makanan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan bentuk makanan biasa. Metode digital imaging adalah sebuah alternatif untuk mengestimasi sisa makanan pada bentuk makanan biasa dan modifikasi apabila dibandingkan dengan metode estimasi visual lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan sisa makanan pada berbagai bentuk makanan (biasa, lunak, saring dan cair) di RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. Studi cross sectional observasional dilakukan dengan melakukan digital imaging pada pre dan post makanan pasien kemudian dilakukan estimasi sisa menggunakan metode comstock 7 poin (utuh, dimakan sesuap, sisa 1/4, sisa 1/2, sisa 3/4, sisa sesuap dan habis). Sampel dipilih dengan metode acak sederhana untuk dibagi dalam 4 kelompok bentuk makanan, yaitu makanan biasa (n = 40), makanan lunak (n = 40), makanan saring (n = 40) dan makanan cair (n = 40). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sisa makanan pada bentuk makanan biasa, lunak, saring dan cair memiliki perbedaan yang bermakna (Kruskal wallis, p &lt;0,05). Perbedaan terjadi pada makanan biasa – cair, makanan lunak – saring dan makanan saring - cair (uji Mann Whitney, p &lt;0,05). Perbedaan sisa makanan dapat terjadi karena perbedaan usia pada responden, kelas perawatan, dan jenis diet yang diberikan kepada pasien. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat perbedaan sisa makanan pada berbagai bentuk makanan di RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, disarankan agar dilakukan inovasi untuk meningkatkan asupan pasien dengan bentuk makanan cair
