Authors: Conde-Cardona Giancarlos , Polo Martínez Michelle , Torres-Madrid Carlos , Benitez-Cardona Juana , Romero-Ortiz Mireya , Ramirez-Charris Natalia
Published: August 2023

Introducción: la enfermedad de Pompe es una enfermedad genética multisistémica y rápidamente progresiva, que causa compromiso muscular (esquelético, cardíaco y liso), severa hipotonía y dificultad en la deglución. Debido a la naturaleza de la enfermedad, la calidad de vida de las personas que la padecen puede verse más afectada con respecto a la población general.
Método: se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se diseñó un instrumento tipo encuesta con preguntas de caracterización sociodemográfica y referentes a la enfermedad. Para medir la calidad de vida se aplicó el Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) Questionnaire. Se hizo una comparación entre grupos, con nivel de significancia de 0,05.
Resultados: se obtuvieron encuestas de 27 pacientes de seis países. La edad media fue de 40,52 años, el 59?% fueron mujeres, el 51?% casados, el 63?% activos laboralmente, con edad media de diagnóstico de 30,3 años (SD = 15,557). La dimensión con menor media fue el rol físico (10,2; IC 95?% = 1,5-21,9), mientras que la de mayor media fue la salud mental (65,5; IC 95?% = 56,9-74,0). El 29,7?% (IC 95?% = 11,2-48,0) de los encuestados consideró sentirse en peores condiciones de salud que el año anterior.
Discusión: se evidencia una baja calidad de vida en pacientes con EP, en comparación con la población general, si se tienen en cuenta otros estudios que utilizan el mismo cuestionario.
Conclusiones: se evidencia una baja calidad de vida en los pacientes con enfermedad de Pompe participantes; las dimensiones asociadas con parámetros físicos fueron las de menores puntuaciones.

Background: The introduction of primary HPV cervical cancer
screening requires the implementation of an appropriate triage strategy
that will be effective in detecting high-grade cervical disease without
losing diagnostic specificity. Methods: From the 30.066
screening tests results, a total of 1086 with available high-risk human
papillomavirus (HRHPV) with limited genotyping, cytology and p16/Ki67
dual-stain were selected. Two triage strategies for primary HPV
screening were analyzed retrospectively based on the study group.
Performance characteristics for p16/Ki67 and cytology triage in
detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+)
and grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) were calculated, detected in colposcopic
biopsy. Results: In HPV16/18-positive cases, primary HPV with
p16/Ki67 triage was significantly more specific than cytology
(53.1%/16.8% for CIN2+; p<0.0001; 45.9%/17.0% for CIN3+;
p<0.0001), with yielded sensitivity (95.7%/84.8% for CIN2+;
p=0.0955; 100.0%/87.5% for CIN3+; p=0.0832). In other HRHPV-positive
cases (N16/N18), p16/Ki67 triage was also significantly higher specific
(51.3%/15.3% for CIN2+; p<0.0001; 44.5%/16.5% for CIN3+;
p<0.0001), with sensitivity (92.3%/74.4% for CIN2+;
p=0.0522; 90.9%/81.8% for CIN3+; p=0.5637). Diagnostic predictive
values were significantly higher for p16/Ki67 triage with the highest
PPV in HPV16/18-positive cases for CIN2+ (45.4%; 95% CI: 35.2-55.8;
p<0.0001) and very high NPV in all HPV-positive cases
regardless of detected genotype (96.3%-100.0%). The risk (1-NPV) for
CIN3+ in HRHPV16/18-positive/p16/Ki67-negative women was 0.0%.
Conclusions: Superior diagnostic performance compared to
cytology for detecting cervical cancer precursors indicates that
p16/Ki67 dual-immunostain may be a highly effective tool of triage in
primary HPV screening with limited HPV 16/18 genotyping in the secondary
cervical cancer prevention.
Design of a phage-displayed Camelidae nanobody library using a simple bioinformatics method: Application of binders in immunoaffinity purification of recombinant coagulation factor VII
Authors: Rahimian Aliasghar , Nabati Ali , Askari Hooman , Saffarioun Mohammad , Aminian Mahdi
Published: August 2023

Background: Rational design of synthetic phage-displayed libraries
requires the identification of the most appropriate positions for
randomization using the best-fitting amino acid set to recapitulate the
natural occurrence. To this end, the present study uses
position-specific scoring matrixes (PSSMs) for identifying and
randomizing Camelidae nanobody (VHH) CDRs. The functionality of a
synthetic VHH repertoire designed by this method was tested against
recombinant coagulation factor VII (rfVII). This study investigates the
applicability of anti-rfVII VHH binders isolated from a PSSM-based
library as immunoaffinity purification ligands. Methods: Based on PSSM
analysis, the CDR3 of cAbBCII10 VHH framework was identified, and a set
of amino acids for the substitution of each PSSM-CDR position was
defined. Using the Rosetta design SwiftLib tool, the final repertoire
was back-translated to a degenerate nucleotide sequence. This library
was screened against recombinant coagulation factor VII, and the
isolated VHH binders being coupled with Sepharose CL-4B beads were
tested for rfVII purification. Results: A synthetic phage-displayed VHH
library with 108 variants was constructed. Three VHH binders were
isolated from this library with affinity constants (KAff)) of 108,
1.7x107, and 3.8x106. We could develop an immunoaffinity chromatography
resin from one of the isolated binders. This resin showed acceptable
specificity and stability with a capacity of 2.3 mg rfVII per ml of the
resin. Conclusion: PSSM analysis is a simple and efficient way to design
synthetic phage-displayed libraries. VHH binders discovered through this
method can be effectively exploited in developing immunoaffinity
chromatography resins.
Analysis of MHD hybrid nanofluid through an exponential stretching sheet with dissipation and radiation effects
Authors: Basit Abdul , Zahid Muhammad , Liśkiewicz Grzegorz
Published: August 2023

The hybrid nanofluids are effective in terms of cooling where the range
of temperature is high and includes a significant range of thermal
applications, such as cooling electrical equipment, heat exchangers,
automotive industry, heat pipes, manufacturing industry, and solar
energy. As a result of these facts, this particular research emphasizes
on the silver- titanium oxide /water hybrid nanofuid flow through an
exponentially stretching sheet. The impacts such as viscous dissipation,
magneto hydrodynamics, porosity, thermal radiation and heat generation
have been also taken into account. By utilizing non-dimensional
quantities and similarity functions, the flow model is transformed and
simplified to a system of ordinary differential equations. With the help
of the numerical method Runge-Kutta with shooting technique in Matlab
script, the desired system is solved. It has been discovered that
stronger the porosity parameter raises the temperature while diminishing
the velocity. It additionally emphasizes that augmentations in the
magnetic parameter, Eckert number, radiation parameter, and volume
percentage of T i O 2 and A g nanoparticles proportional to the
temperature profile. The results demonstrate satisfactory congruence’s
when compared to the current literature.
Standardized cross-linking determination methods applied to POE encapsulants in lamination recipe development
Authors: Pliquet Margot Landa - , Béjat Timea , Sérasset Marion , Descormes Axel , Mofakhami Eeva , Voroshazi Eszter
Published: August 2023

Ethylene vinyl acetate is the most common encapsulation material in
photovoltaic panels. Due to gradual engineering, it ensures to meet
performance requirements of standard cells, it is low-cost and has well
understood cross-linking behaviour, both physically and chemically.
Nowadays polyolefin elastomers (POE) have been entering the PV industry
to meet the requirements of advanced cells concepts and/or novel
degradation phenomena noticed on bifacial modules. POE exhibits several
advantages based on its intrinsic high volume resistivity, low
permeation, processability and most importantly, the absence of harmful
by-products (such as acetic acid) generated upon humidity exposure.
However, this new materials family may behave differently from EVA
during crosslinking, thus it is necessary to verify and adapt standard
measurement methods. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to
investigate the cross-linking behaviour of POEs with the final goal of
exploring the process window of the lamination. The characterization
methods like differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Soxhlet
extraction have been used to determine crosslinking rate and chemical
structure of several POE encapsulants. Similar to EVAs, cross-linking
rate of POEs measured by Soxhlet extraction increases with lamination
duration until approaching a horizontal asymptote. The indirect
cross-linking rate measurement by DSC analysis is usually favoured
through its simple and fast implementation, absence of toxic chemicals
handling when compared to Soxhlet extraction. In the case of highly
engineered materials, clear deviations are recorded, highlighting
validity limits of direct correlation between Soxhlet and DSC methods.
Nevertheless, we obtained remarkable correlations between these two
techniques for two commercially available POEs, allowing the extension
of the IEC standard to new encapsulants.

Published: August 2023

Background Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is the most
common type of extrapelvic endometriosis in women of reproductive age,
and several studies have compared high-intensity focused ultrasound
(HIFU) ablation with surgical resection in the management of AWE;
however, the results are controversial. Objective To compare
the efficiency and safety of HIFU ablation with surgery in the treatment
of AWE. Search strategy Literature on surgery versus HIFU
ablation for treating AWE was identified using the PubMed, Embase, Web
of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WANFANG Database
and the Cochrane Library databases. Selection Criteria
Full-text manuscripts comparing HIFU ablation and surgery for treating
AWE were included. Data collection and analysis Two independent
reviewers reviewed and extracted data from the articles, and the risk of
bias was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic
Reviews of Interventions. Data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.
Main results We included 7 studies involving 405 patients.
Compared with the surgery group, the immediate posttreatment visual
analogue scale (VAS) score was lower in the HIFU group (mean difference
[MD] -1.58, 95% CI -2.56 to -0.59), the length of hospitalization
was shorter in the HIFU group (MD -1.95 days, 95% CI −2.43 to −1.48),
and the incidence of adverse events was lower in the HIFU group
(relative risk 0.32, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.65). There was no significant
difference in the symptom recurrence rate, VAS score at the 3-, 6- and
12-month follow-ups, or treatment time between the two groups.
Conclusions Compared with surgery, immediate postoperative VAS
scores were lower, hospitalization times were shorter, and the risk of
adverse events were lower in patients receiving HIFU ablation treatment
for AWE.

Published: August 2023

Aims: to systematically review the prevalence of DCD in individuals born
preterm; explore this prevalence according to gestational age and
different assessments cut-offs; and compare to full-term peers. Methods:
The eligibility criteria was observational and experimental studies
reporting the prevalence of DCD in preterm individuals. A systematic
search was performed in databases from inception until March 2022. The
selection was performed by two independent reviewers. Study quality
assessment was performed using the checklists from Joanna Briggs
Institute (JBI). Data analysis were performed on Excel and Review
Manager Software 5.4. Results: Among the 1774 studies identified, 32
matched the eligibility criteria. The pooled estimates of DCD rate in
preterm was 21% (95% CI 17.8–24.3). The estimate rates were higher as
gestational age decreased, and preterm children are two times more
likely to have DCD than their full-term peers RR 2.2 (95% IC
1.77–2.79). Interpretation: The limitation was high heterogeneity
between studies: the assessment tools and cut-off points, as well as the
age at assessment, were diverse. This study provided evidence that
preterm children are at higher risk for DCD than full-term children, and
the risks increased as gestational age decreased.
Design And Implementation of a Computer Vision-based Autopilot In a Simulation Environment
Authors: Yousif Mohammed Yahya , Salih Omer , Amein Magdi B M
Published: August 2023

Autonomous cars are complex automotive systems with multiple subsystems working together in harmony to produce the desired result. The autopilot then works as the brain that governs the behavior of the car when the self-driving mode is switched on. In this work 1 , the design of a computer vision-based self-driving car autopilot was conducted in a simulation environment using an End-to-End approach, where a single neural network model maps the images from the environment directly to some sort of action. The NVIDIA End-to-End model was chosen, because it takes the input picture, does end-to-end processing, and gives an output of a steering angle. This is done without any human intervention. Two models influenced by NVIDIA’s model were developed. The first one is based on VGG architecture while the second is based on the ResNet architecture. Unlike their baseline model, each of our models is supposed to not only determine the steering angle but also control the acceleration and the break. The two models were compared using different matrices.

We explored longitudinal changes associated with switching to hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin delivery systems in adults with type 1 diabetes and elevated HbA1c levels despite the use of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) and insulin pump therapy. 

Research Design and Methods

We undertook a pragmatic, pre-planned observational study of participants included in the NHS England closed-loop pilot. Adults using isCGM and insulin pump across 31 diabetes centers in England with a HbA1c ≥8.5%, who were willing to commence HCL therapy were included. Outcomes included change in HbA1c; sensor glucometrics; Diabetes Distress Score; Gold Score (hypoglycemia awareness); acute event rates and user opinion of HCL. 

Results

In total, 570 HCL users were included; median age 40 (IQR 29-50) years, 67% female, and 85% White. Baseline HbA1c was 9.4±0.9% [78.9±9.1mmol/mol] with a median follow-up of 5.1 (IQR 3.9-6.6) months. Of 520 users continuing HCL at follow-up, mean adjusted HbA1c reduced by 1.7% (95% CI 1.5, 1.8, P<0.0001) [18.1mmol/mol; 95%CI 16.6, 19.6; P<0.0001]. Time in range (70-180mg/dL) increased from 34.2% to 61.9% (P<0.001). Individuals with HbA1c of ≤58mmol/mol rose from 0% to 39.4% (P<0.0001) and those achieving ≥70% glucose time in range and <4% time below range increased from 0.8% to 28.2% (P<0.0001). Almost all participants rated HCL therapy as having a positive impact on quality of life (94.7%, 540/570).

Conclusions
Use of HCL is associated with improvements in HbA1c, time in range, hypoglycemia and diabetes-related distress and quality of life in people with type 1 diabetes in the real-world.

Published: August 2023

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) in mountain regions are cultivated on small-scale farms, which are characterized by a great diversity of MAPs grown on a relatively small area and by a high degree of habitat complexity. Non-crop elements (e.g., dry-stone walls, hedges, etc.) are widely present in the cultivated areas and, together with the high plant diversity, may provide ideal foraging and breeding habitats for several animal groups. Here we surveyed small-scale MAP fields from a multi-taxonomic perspective considering flower-visiting arthropods, butterflies, grasshoppers, ground-dwelling arthropods, birds, and bats. A total of three MAP fields were surveyed, however not every taxon was surveyed in each MAP field. Pan traps were used in all MAP fields to assess flower-visiting arthropods with special attention to wild bees. In one of the selected fields a Malaise trap was used, and the other taxa were surveyed according to the protocol of the Biodiversity Monitoring South Tyrol. An exception was the bird surveys, which were conducted in two MAP fields. Our results indicate MAP fields to be a valuable habitat for several taxa, especially wild bees, as reflected in the positive correlation of wild bee species richness and flower coverage. Next to beneficial arthropods, potential pests, such as aphids were also highly abundant. However, natural enemies (e.g., hymenopteran parasitoids, ground-dwelling predators, etc.) possibly counteracting pests were also numerous. The butterfly and grasshopper fauna were represented by common and generalist species, while the observed vertebrate communities were relatively diverse in their habitat requirements, most likely using MAP fields for foraging. Overall, we conclude that MAP cultivation may act as resource-rich oases for several animal groups, thereby promoting biodiversity also on a broader scale.

In the paper we are going to introduce an operator that is involved in the inverse problem of the continuous-in-time financial model. This framework is designed to be used in the finance for any organization and, in particular, for local communities. It allows to set out annual and multiyear budgets, with describing loan, reimbursement and interest payment schemes. We discuss this inverse problem in the space of integrable functions over R having a compact support. The concept of ill-posedness is examined in this space in order to obtain interesting and useful solutions. Then, we will give some remarks for not functionality of the model for a given Repayment Pattern Density γ, when this operator is not invertible in the space. Additionally, this inverse problem is illustrated in order to prove its ability to be used in a financial strategy.
Geração automatizada multicritério: estudo de caso em casas unifamiliares de interesse social
Authors: Pizzetti Mariano Pedro Oscar , Vaz Carlos Eduardo Verzola
Published: August 2023

A pesquisa visa desenvolver e aplicar um processo de projeto automatizado multicritério na formação de casas de interesse social no Brasil. A criação do algoritmo foi executada em um software de modelagem e programação, utilizando como estratégia processos de programação visual e de script. Para tanto, o algoritmo foi estruturado em quatro etapas: inicialmente, são construídas as dimensões do terreno; na sequência, é organizada uma composição a partir de regras; após, são adicionadas características arquitetônicas (janelas, portas); e por fim, a composição passa por um conjunto de simulações, visualizações e coleta de dados sensíveis, a saber: orçamento — por meio do CUB e CUG — e distribuição da luz do dia e radiação incidente nas fachadas. Ao final, o processo torna-se possível criar de forma autônoma um anteprojeto diferente para cada momento em que a programação é acionada. As características e dados quantitativos do partido são salvos, permitindo assim, a comparação entre os diferentes resultados.  Para validar a programação, buscou-se utilizá-la na construção de uma casa de interesse social para um concurso de arquitetura no Brasil. Além da experiência de solucionar um problema real de arquitetura com a programação, foi possível abordar como o uso de tecnologias e sistemas automatizados podem ser aplicados nas práticas contemporâneas do projeto. Demonstra-se assim, como a utilização da programação possibilita não só expandir a imaginação por meio da visualização de composições não planejadas, mas também permite a tomada de decisões de modo mais assertivo. Considerando também as avaliações do concurso pode-se trazer a discussão sob a ótica de quais aspectos e critérios relevantes uma arquitetura pode ser julgada, considerando as ponderações da banca de arquitetos avaliadores do concurso.

O presente estudo objetiva discutir as relações entre propostas de design e a comunicação de sentidos específicos via objetos projetados. Para tanto, é descrita uma iniciativa específica denominada Projeto DIN, onde projetou-se quatro modelos distintos para a carenagem de um mesmo equipamento, um dispositivo individual de notificações, que tem a função de alertar moradores de zonas de risco de alagamento em caso de rompimento de barragens em duas cidades do interior do estado de Minas Gerais, Piau e Carmo do Cajurú. A iniciativa implica na instalação de uma rede de comunicação e sensoriamento de barragens para a qual o dispositivo em questão foi criado. Durante o processo de projetação das quatro propostas desenvolvidas, foram manuseados elementos formais carregados de significados diferentes, em especial o uso de arquétipos objetuais, a fim de provocar diferentes sensações, todas pertinentes à comunicação da ideia de segurança em relação ao equipamento. Então, protótipos do aparelho foram produzidos e expostos às comunidades atendidas pela iniciativa, resultando em expressões que foram interpretadas e analisadas, gerando os resultados apresentados neste documento. Os principais pontos se referem à percepção de segurança comunicada através de características relativas à sensação de familiaridade produzidas por meio de formas que remetem à estética retrô; bem como de percepção de performance confiável através de formatos assimilados à austeridade e imbuídas de seriedade. Esses dois recursos figuram, na pesquisa, como os mais eficientes na comunicação de confiabilidade em relação ao equipamento e à própria rede tecnológica à qual o mesmo serve de interface para os usuários. Foram, ainda, postas à prova diferentes maneiras de se manusear recursos estéticos e arquetípicos na comunicação de sentidos em design de objetos, apresentando diferentes resultados para cada um dos quatro modelos DIN desenvolvidos.

Authors: Pivetta Viero Ivi
Published: August 2023

A globalização e a tecnologia na contemporaneidade alteraram, em muitos aspectos, o comportamento, as ações e hábitos humanos. Hoje, no mundo em que se inserem, os seres humanos vivem acelerados e com pressa, tendo que realizar inúmeras atividades em seu dia a dia e, muitas vezes, sem se aperceberem delas. Pessoas, atualmente, confiam à internet muitas das suas escolhas, sendo que a Netflix indica os filmes e séries que vão assistir em seguida, o Google Maps decide qual é a rota ideal que devem tomar, o Spotify sugere as músicas que devem ouvir. A interferência de fatores externos na vida contemporânea é contínua: informações e poluição sonora, visual e tátil. Diante desse contexto, no âmbito do Mestrado em Design de Produto da (omitido para revisão cega), deu-se o desenvolvimento do trabalho final intitulado “(omitido para revisão cega)”, cujo o objetivo era o de projetar peças contemporâneas que possibilitassem um auxílio, funcionando como ferramentas, permitindo ao usuário envolver-se mais ativamente com as questões do dia a dia. O trabalho fez do comum da vida diária a oportunidade para a joalheria incorporar novamente seu papel ativo de funcionalidade. Esse artigo tem como objetivo relatar, sistematizar e documentar os processos utilizados e os resultados alcançados para tanto, afim de poder guiar novos processos futuros a serem desenvolvidos. O projeto se deu nas seguintes etapas: realização de pesquisas bibliográficas sobre o estado da arte da joalheria e questões sobre joalheria contemporânea; fundamentação sobre função prática, estética e simbólica de um produto; exploração de novos conceitos na joalheria; desenvolvimento de peças de joalheria que possibilitaram validar os conceitos apresentados; registro e relato do processo de fabricação das peças.

Informações da qualidade do ambiente nas rotas dos aplicativos de navegação digital para pedestres: estudo de caso em Florianópolis
Authors: De Camargo Barros Aline , Botelho Mager Gabriela
Published: August 2023

As informações sobre o ambiente construído cumprem um papel comunicativo aos pedestres nas cidades, conformando a experiência de percurso tanto no alcance do destino desejado como na maneira em que o trajeto é realizado, podendo oferecer maior confiança, segurança e conforto no caminhar. Dentre as diversas informações disponíveis na microescala urbana, os sistemas de informação visual são considerados importantes mecanismos de suporte para orientação do pedestre. Se antes esses sistemas encontravam-se exclusivamente em meios analógicos e fixos na cidade, atualmente, eles também se inserem nas ferramentas digitais, como nos aplicativos de navegação digital. Em paralelo, através do desenvolvimento de tecnologias inteligentes que monitoram, captam e alimentam banco de dados, outras camadas de informação tendem a ser introduzidas nos sistemas digitais e híbridos, além daquelas já existentes de tempo e distância dos trajetos. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo investiga a relevância de novas camadas de informação nas rotas dos aplicativos de navegação digital para pedestres, referentes à qualidade do ambiente construído, associadas ao conceito de caminhabilidade. Através de um questionário online e um experimento com residentes e visitantes de Florianópolis, constatou-se que a maioria dos participantes utiliza o celular como ferramenta na orientação espacial nas cidades, porém, há uma demanda por informações de rotas mais qualificadas, principalmente no fator de segurança. As informações baseadas na caminhabilidade mostraram-se relevantes, ao mesmo tempo em que as informações de distância e tempo não foram indispensáveis. Os indicadores de caminhabilidade que mais se destacaram são relacionados à qualidade da calçada, segurança pública e viária. Como resultado, são propostas diretrizes de camadas de informação relacionadas à caminhabilidade, a fim de contribuir com o avanço das tecnologias de navegação, aprimorando as ferramentas digitais na oferta de rotas mais seguras e confortáveis de acordo com as preferências e necessidades dos pedestres, incentivando também o caminhar e a mobilidade ativa nos centros urbanos.

Published: August 2023

Vespas sociais (Hymenoptera) desempenham importantes papéis nos ecossistemas terrestres, incluindo relações tróficas, nas quais são predadoras de diferentes táxons, entretanto, não há informações sobre alimentação de muitas espécies. Nesse aspecto, o objetivo deste estudo é relatar a predação de um Mantodea adulto pela vespa social Polistes cinerascens, registrado no Parque Estadual da Serra do Papagaio, uma unidade de conservação da Mata Atlântica, ao acaso em 13 de outubro de 2014 no sudeste brasileiro. O comportamento descrito é similar ao de outras espécies de Polistes quando predam presas grandes, às vezes até maiores que a vespa social. Considerando que vespas sociais são vistas como predadoras generalistas, e pelo fato da maioria dos estudos de predação focarem em áreas agrícolas, o evento aqui apresentado pode ser frequente em ambientes naturais.

Server security is an important thing that must be considered so that the server can work well and serve users. Attacks on servers can threaten server performance and data security in it. According to the National Cyber and Crypto Agency 2020 report, ports 22 and 80 were the top ports with the most attacks. One of the attacks on port 22 is brute force and an attack on port 80 is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). To solve this problem, a study was conducted to implement fail2ban IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) to increase server security. The attacks tested focused on brute force attacks on port 22 and DDoS attacks on port 80 using the TCP protocol. The fail2ban system is equipped with a website interface and notifications via telegram. The test results show that DDoS attacks have more impact on CPU performance with the highest increase in CPU being 92%, while brute force attacks have more impact on server memory performance with the highest increase in memory by 100%. The increase in server performance results in slowed server performance. The system managed to prevent DDoS attacks with an average speed of 0.5 seconds while brute force attacks were 6.1 seconds. The system managed to prevent DDoS attacks with a total of 88 attacks and brute force attacks with a total of 864 attacks.

Water quality is an important factor for fish koi cultivation. Poor water quality such as inappropriate temperature, pH, and turbidity can disrupt metabolic processes, inhibit growth and cause death in koi fish. Apart from that, feeding and checking water quality are still done manually. Because of this, we need a system that can monitor and control the feeding, temperature, and water quality according to the living environment of koi fish. In this study the system was built on an Android-based mobile application using the flutter framework. In addition, the system has a notification to provide information on changes in sensor readings in real time to users. The notifications are changes in temperature, pH, turbidity, water level, feed level and changes in control device modes. Testing the water temperature readings obtained a relative error value of 0,66%, water turbidity readings obtained an error value of 8,79%, water pH readings obtained a relative error value of 2,45%, water level readings obtained an error relative value of 1,57% and feed availability readings obtained an error value of 3,1%.

With these problems, routing is added for network security by designing a pc router firewall from pfSense, the pc router itself uses computer assets that are is no longer used but has sufficient specifications. Using the action research method, carrying out diagnoses, planning actions, following up, conducting evaluations, and learning materials. By designing a pc router firewall using pfSense it is hoped that the results will be quite good, because it uses the router firewall feature using pfSense to block attacks. Using pfSense as network security will certainly be safer because pfSense still regularly updates or improves its security and has an active forum community to date so that information can be exchanged.
