“…The first hypothesis is straightforward as hospital treatment should reduce the probability of dying from influenza (Hobday and Cason, 2009). For the second hypothesis, we argue that shocks reveal hidden public infrastructure 1 Previous studies have also examined effects on development of specific forms of infrastructure such as roads (Baum-Snow et al, 2020;Marein, 2022), railroads (Heblich et al, 2020), airports (Czernich et al, 2011;Doerr et al, 2020), broadband internet (Czernich et al, 2011;Doerr et al, 2020), or educational institutions (Freier et al, 2021;Berlingieri et al, 2022). Healthcare infrastructure has not been a focus so far.…”

The extraction of pavement damage information is one of the major difficulties in the application research of mobile laser scanning point cloud data. To address the problem of inaccurate detection results by using only relative distance to detect potholes, this paper proposes a novel pothole detection method that combines directed distance and skewed distribution. Firstly, the rapid positioning of the pothole is realized by the directed distance, which is calculated from the points and the local fitted plane. And monomerization and denoising of potential potholes are achieved by density clustering. Then, the new accurate plane is fitted by the surrounding pavement points of the potential pothole to obtain accurate directed distances. The negative skewed distribution of the directed distance histogram and the skewness coefficient are used for the accurate determination of the pothole. Finally, the three-dimensional geometric features of the pothole are extracted. Experiments were carried out on a road with poor road conditions. The experimental results validated the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method. It can achieve automatic detection of potholes with different shapes and deformation degrees, and has effectively improved the efficiency of automatic road inspection.

“…The location of infrastructure influences the spatial distribution of the economy as well. For example, roads and railroads foster regional economic growth quickly, & the advantages may last over the long term Even after the initial benefits the value of the investments or the infrastructure itself has dwindled (Marein, 2022).…”

One of the regencies on Madura Island, namely Sumenep, will be the regency with the lowest gini ratio in East Java Province in 2022. This research was conducted to analyze: 1) the effects of health, education, open unemployment rate, and poverty rate partially on the Gini ratio; 2) the effects of health, education, open unemployment rate, and poverty rate simultaneously on the Gini ratio in Madura Island. The research method was carried out using panel data regression. The results obtained using the CEM: 1) health, education, and poverty levels have a negative and not significant effect; 2) the open unemployment rate influences positively and significantly; 3) all independent variables simultaneously have a significant positive effect. The government can issue policies to reduce income inequality in the form of providing free health services, education and compulsory education scholarships, periodic job fairs, skills training for workers, and distribution of social assistance that is right on target.
