Implementation of Efficient FIR Filter Architectures using Distributed Arithmetic Computation for Digital Channelizer of SDR
Authors: Bhadavath Kiran Kumar , Livinsa Z. Mary
Published: June 2022

Always an efficient and low complexity reconfigurable filter architecture is required for the channel filters of digital channelizer in Software Defined Radio (SDR). In this paper, a block-based reconfigurable FIR filter is proposed using Distributed Arithmetic (DA) Technique. The complexity of the conventional multiplier is replaced with the DA multiplication process and the throughput of the entire filter is increased by block processing. Memory reuse is also achieved in the proposed direct form systolic FIR filter architecture due to parallel processing. The different bandwidth filters and the corresponding coefficients are stored in the LUTs concerning different channels of the digital channelizer. The proper channel selection is used to choose an appropriate filter and partial products are generated using Offset Binary Coding (OBC). Next, the multiplication process is done by the proposed decomposed LUT-based DA technique in the processing blocks of the filter. The proposed filter is coded by Verilog and synthesized by ASIC-based tools from Cadence in 45 nm CMOS technology. The performance parameters such as area, delay, power consumption, ADP, and PDP are evaluated and compared with the state-of-the-art works. The ADP and PDP values are saved by 44.1% and 30% by the proposed OBC-DA-based filter architecture than the conventional DA-based filter architecture, respectively.

Published: June 2022

Background
Various tools have previously been introduced to predict the recuperation and mortality of patients in intensive care units and to classify them. That tools have particular advantages and disadvantages compared to each other. The present study compared the power of mortality prediction in SOFA and APACHE IV tools in trauma and non-trauma patients admitted to the ICU.
Methods
In this retrospective cohort study, patients admitted to the ICU of Kowsar Hospital in Sanandaj from the beginning of April 2020 to the end (December) of 2020 were assessed. Data were collected in the form of a questionnaire based on APACHE IV and SOFA criteria and the demographic information questionnaire. All collected data were related to the first 24 hours of patients' hospitalization. Data were also analyzed in SPSS V16 software using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Cox regression and Pearson correlation coefficients.
Results
This study was performed on 404 patients admitted to the ICU, of whom 273 people (67.6%) were male. 208 patients (51.5%) had been hospitalized due to an outcome resulted from trauma and 196 patients (48.5%) had been hospitalized due to a non-traumatic outcome. The mean age of the patients was 54.76 ± 20.77 years and their average inpatient hospital stay was 10.05 ± 8.49 days. In general, the AUC obtained from APACHE IV tool (0.902) was slightly better than that of SOFA tool (0.895). However, in a specific study of traumatic and non-traumatic patients, it was found that APACHE IV and SOFA tools had better performance in predicting death in, respectively, non-trauma and trauma patients based on the accuracy, AUC and sensitivity.
Conclusions
Based on the results of this study, it was found that the difference between APACHE IV and SOFA tools in predicting death in patients admitted to the ICU was very small but if patients were separately examined for being traumatic and non-traumatic, the APACHE IV function in predicting mortality in non-traumatic cases was better while the SOFA function was better in predicting the death in traumatic cases. This fact represents the applicability of these two tools in different subgroups of patients.

Authors: Fadaei Saeid , Mazidi Abbas , Afagh Fred , Langlois Robert G.
Published: June 2022

In this study, flutter of blades in floating horizontal-axis wind turbines is investigated. The blade is modeled as a non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam in bending and torsion, which can experience large deflections. The discretized form of the aeroelastic governing equations of the blade is obtained by combining blade element momentum theory (BEM) and geometrically exact beam theory (GEBT). To emulate the true physical and geometrical properties of the blade, for each property, a mathematical function that has been fit to the series of data points corresponding to the NREL 5 MW turbine blade is constructed and used in the aeroelastic governing equations. Numerical results are compared with the results obtained from the ABAQUS software and good agreement is observed. Results are presented for both parked and operational wind turbine rotors. Results show the significant effect of the turbine tower rotation, due to wave action, on the aeroelastic stability of the blades. Furthermore, it is shown that coupled motion of the platform as a rigid body with rotor angular velocity can lead to flutter instability at low wind speeds.

Published: June 2022

Begomoviruses are important plant viruses, especially in Solanaceous plants. This study aimed to identify begomoviruses in the plants of the family Solanaceae in southern Iran. During 2019–2020, 53 samples were collected from plants with viral symptoms from different regions in Fars, Kerman, and Hormozgan provinces. Begomovirus infections were assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, using universal primers of PCRv181/Primer Bc. The 500-bp amplified DNA fragment was sequenced in seven samples. A specific primer was used to evaluate the presence of Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus (ToLCNDV) in the samples with confirmed Begomovirus infection. The DNA of Begomovirus was detected in 22 out of 53 samples, and an expected DNA fragment of 500bp was amplified. Based on a search conducted by the BLAST software and the sequenced DNA fragments, Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) was found in tomatoes collected from Fars, Kerman, and Hormozgan provinces, Tomato Leaf Curl Palampur Virus (ToLCPMV) from tomato of Hormozgan, peppers from Fars and Hormozgan provinces, and eggplant from Fars province. The obtained results indicated the infection of one pepper sample collected from Hormozgan province to ToLCNDV. The sequences were deposited in the GenBank. According to the results, TYLCV, ToLCPMV, and ToLCNDV were prevalent in the plants of the family Solanaceae in the southern provinces of Iran, and TYLCV was the dominant Begomovirus in this region. Overall, ToLCPMV has a wide host range and is a threat to tomato cultivation. This is the first report of ToLCNDV in pepper from Hormozgan province.

Published: June 2022

Background: Adverse events are ubiquitous in home ventilation and can jeopardise patient safety. Especially the interaction with life-sustaining medical devices such as the ventilator is a source of potential errors. The goal is to know the errors to be able to react adequately to them. With a systematic analysis of hazards and their causes, measures can be taken to prevent damage to patients.Methods: A systematic adverse event analysing process was conducted to identify the causes for adverse events (AE) in intensive home care. The process consisted of three analysis steps. 1) an input phase consisting of an expert interview, and a questionnaire. 2.) an analysing process into a cause-effect diagram that can lead to cause of adverse events and 3.) risk mitigation measures have been derived to avoid adverse events. Results: The nursing staff indicated transport of the patient and suction, de-cannulation as the most causal factors for adverse events. They would like to have support in the form of checklists for care activities and a reminder function for e.g. tube changes. In the cause-effect diagram, many causes are listed that are addressed in risk mitigation. Here, concrete measures such as devices and care competence but also improvements by the providers and manufacturers are demanded. The first step in dealing with adverse events is transparency and an open approach to errors and near misses. A systematic error analysis can prevent patient harm through a preventive approach.

Title: Unburned Rice Husk as an Alternative Additive in the Making of White Soil Brick
 
Top soil structure in Kupang city and regency consist of  white soil which contain 30-65% sand. This kind of soil is very potential as brick-making material. The experiments carried out turned out that white soil bricks  with rice husks additive without going through the combustion process could reach a compressive strength of 100.9 kg/cm² at a ratio of 1 cement: 7 white soil: 1 rice husk. Without being burned to ashes, rice husks can strengthen white soil bricks. In a previous study, bricks without husk additive with a ratio of 1 cement: 7 white soil with a brick size of 24 x 11 x 6 only reached 51.9 kg/cm² (Bebhe et al., 2020). Meanwhile, in another experiment, white soil brick added with rice husk ash with a size of 23 x 11 x 5 cm could reach 114.3 kg/cm² (Bebhe & Daton, 2021). This proves that rice husks as additive material can increase the compressive strength of white soil bricks .The results of this experiment about compressive strength could exceed the compressive strength of grades 1 and 2 based on SNI 03-0349-1989. For loaded and unprotected wall construction, loaded and protected wall construction, and unencumbered and protected wall construction based on SNI 03-6881.1-2002.

Published: June 2022

Tipuana tipu (Benth.) O. Kuntze, árvore conhecida popularmente por tipuana, é uma das principais espécies que caracterizam a arborização urbana do sul do Brasil. O elevado risco de queda dessa espécie na cidade de Curitiba (Paraná), em virtude da incompatibilidade do porte com o meio urbano, é o maior motivo de sua remoção. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar a distribuição espacial de tipuanas que foram cortadas por apresentarem risco de queda nas ruas de Curitiba. Com base nos registros fornecidos pela Prefeitura de Curitiba no período de 2013 a 2016, realizou-se um levantamento das árvores em situação de risco de queda. Das 6.226 árvores removidas no período mencionado, a tipuana foi a mais cortada, representando 15% do total, tendo como principal motivo de corte o conflito com o meio urbano (32%). Verificou-se maior concentração de remoção nos bairros com densidade populacional média a alta. Tal fato indica que a árvore pode estar sendo considerada um empecilho às atividades urbanas.

A busca por mudas de boa qualidade, produzidas de maneira ecologicamente correta, vem crescendo cada vez mais. Com isso, cresce também a necessidade de obter informações sobre substratos adequados para as espécies de grupos sucessionais diferentes. O presente trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o desenvolvimento e a nutrição de mudas de espécies florestais (capixingui, bracatinga, angico-preto, amendoim-bravo e monjoleiro) de diferentes grupos sucessionais com base em substrato orgânico. Para tanto, empregou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos e cinco repetições, compostos de 10 plantas cada um: T1) 100% substrato comercial (100SC) testemunha; T2) 33,3% de solo (S), 33,3% de areia (A) e 33,3% de cama de aviário (CA); T3) 25S25A50CA; T4) 17S:17A:66CA; T5) 100CA. Constatou-se que os melhores resultados, para as variáveis analisadas (emergência, altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do colo, número de folhas, massa seca da raiz e da parte aérea, assim como acúmulo de nutrientes), foram obtidos nos substratos com proporções acima de 50% de CA.

Published: June 2022

A avaliação da qualidade fisiológica das sementes de arroz é obrigatória para possibilitar a comercialização. Por isso, a metodologia utilizada em análises de rotina deve ser eficiente para avaliar lotes com diferentes qualidades. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram constatar a existência de diferenças no desenvolvimento de plântulas e testar combinações de disponibilidade de água e espaçamento no substrato que proporcionem a máxima expressão do potencial fisiológico de sementes de arroz. Para o teste de germinação, utilizou-se o método já padronizado e indicado nas regras para análise de sementes (RAS), porém com três níveis de umedecimento do substrato (duas, 2,5 ou três vezes o peso do papel) e duas quantidades de sementes por rolo de papel (50 ou 100 sementes), em seis lotes de arroz recém-colhidos e armazenados. Adicionalmente, realizaram-se testes de vigor. Os resultados mostraram que o umedecimento do substrato na proporção de três vezes o seu peso seco, conforme recomendado nas RAS, não favoreceu o máximo desempenho de plântulas. Por causa do bom desempenho e das vantagens práticas para uso em análises de rotina, pode ser recomendado o substrato umedecido com 2,5 vezes o seu peso em água com 100 sementes por rolo.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o crescimento em altura, diâmetro e taxa de sobrevivência de mudas de Enterolobium contortisiliquum e Mimosa caesalpiniifolia inoculadas com Azospirillum brasilense e sem inoculação, em área degradada de mineração. O experimento foi implantado no espaçamento de 3x3 m, em uma área minerada por extração de areia e cascalho no município de Itaporanga d’Ajuda (SE), com as espécies E. contortisiliquum (tamboril) e M. caesalpiniifolia (sabiá). Definiram-se quatro tratamentos: TSB – tamboril (Enterolobium contortisiliquum) sem bactéria (Azospirillum brasilense); SSB – sabiá (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia) sem bactéria (Azospirillum brasilense); TCB – tamboril (Enterolobium contortisiliquum) com bactéria (Azospirillum brasilense); SCB – sabiá (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia) com bactéria (Azospirillum brasilense). O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com fatorial 2 x 2 (2 espécies x com e sem inoculação). Doze meses após o plantio, concluiu-se que o uso de Azospirillum brasiliense não promoveu um melhor desenvolvimento de Mimosa caesalpiniifolia e Enterolobium contortisiliquum. A espécie Enterolobium contortisiliquum obteve uma alta sobrevivência, sendo recomendada para recuperação de áreas degradadas por mineração.

Briófitas são pequenos vegetais avasculares, que possuem capacidade de retenção de água nas células, sendo utilizados como aditivos de solo, além de auxiliarem na germinação de sementes. Sementes são resultados do processo reprodutivo sexual das angiospermas, e sua germinação é influenciada por fatores químicos, físicos e biológicos, como nas espécies de Jacaranda mimosifolia e Euterpe edulis. Neste estudo, objetivou-se avaliar a interação ecológica na germinação de sementes e briófitas, com cultivo de 450 sementes por espécie, em 3 repetições por variável, num total de 3 variáveis (solo nu; solo com briófitas: entre briófitas e sobre as briófitas). Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância Anova: um critério. A comparação de médias foi desenvolvida pelo teste Tukey (α = 0,05). A germinação das sementes diferiu com maior abrangência em J. mimosifolia. Observou-se Valor-F 35,12549116 (J. mimosifolia) e 1,957945014 (E. edulis), e valor de p < 0.0001 e < 0.05, respectivamente. Os musgos podem ser considerados como fator estressante na germinação das sementes, todavia sua presença favoreceu o melhor desenvolvimento, sendo, por outro lado, uma barreira seletiva, na qual as melhores sementes conseguiram sobreviver e formar novos vegetais. Fazem-se necessárias mais pesquisas, para avaliar a interação entre os musgos e demais vegetais.
Neuroprotective Potential of Curcuminoids in Modulating
Alzheimer’s Disease via Multiple Signaling Pathways
Authors: Shabbir Anam , Rehman Kanwal , Akbar Moazzama , Akash Muhammad Sajid Hamid
Published: June 2022

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and frequent neurodegenerative disease
in elderly people. In the 21st century, owing to the increasing prevalence of AD,
there is a crucial need for finding better and more effective pharmacotherapeutic approaches.
This review article demonstrated various sources and possible metabolic pathways
of curcuminoids obtained from Curcuma longa herb, to prevent and treat AD, but
the information related to the metabolic fate of curcuminoids is deficient. Different in
vitro and in vivo research studies demonstrating the mechanisms by which curcuminoids
attenuated AD have been summarized. Administration of curcuminoids has been indicated
to inhibit hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, deposition, and oligomerization of amyloid
beta plaques in several AD models. Curcuminoids also inhibit acetylcholinesterase
activity, chelate metals and form complexes, have antioxidant properties, mediate neuroinflammatory
signaling pathways by altering the activity of microglial cells, and modulate
other related signaling pathways such as the heme-oxygenase pathway and the insulin
signaling pathways. Briefly curcuminoids exhibit the capability to be more productive
and efficacious compared to many recent treatments due to their antioxidant, delayed
neuron degeneration, and anti-inflammatory potential. Although their effectiveness as a
curative agent is considered to be reduced due to their low bioavailability, if the issue of
curcuminoids' low bioavailability is resolved then curcuminoid-based medications are
hopefully on the horizon against AD.

Cancer is becoming a global threat as its treatment accounts for many challenges. Hence, newer inventions
prioritize the requirement of developing novel anticancer agents. In this context, kinases have been exclusively investigated
and developed as a promising and novel class of drug targets for anticancer regimen. Indole derivatives have
been found to be most effective for targeting multiple kinases, such as PIM, CDK, TK, AKT, SRC, PI3K, PKD, GSK,
etc., to inhibit cell proliferation for cancer. Recently, a group of researchers have proposed their research outcomes
related to this moiety, such as Zhang et al. described some potent PI3K inhibitors by substitution at the 4th position of
the indole ring. Kassis et al. enumerated several potent CDK5 inhibitors by substituting the 2nd and 6th positions of the
indole ring. In the present review, we have taken the initiative to summarize structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies
of indole derivatives as kinase inhibitors for the development of potential inhibitors.

Evaluation of Dietary Management Using Artificial Intelligence and Human Interventions: Nonrandomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Okaniwa Fusae , Yoshida Hiroshi
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

There has been an increase in personal health records with the increased use of wearable devices and smartphone apps to improve health. Traditional health promotion programs by human professionals have limitations in terms of cost and reach. Due to labor shortages and to save costs, there has been a growing emphasis in the medical field on building health guidance systems using artificial intelligence (AI). AI will replace advanced human tasks to some extent in the future. However, it is difficult to sustain behavioral change through technology alone at present.

OBJECTIVE

This study investigates whether AI alone can effectively encourage healthy behaviors or whether human interventions are needed to achieve and sustain health-related behavioral change. We examined the effectiveness of AI and human interventions to encourage dietary management behaviors. In addition, we elucidated the conditions for maximizing the effect of AI on health improvement. We hypothesized that the combination of AI and human interventions will maximize their effectiveness.

METHODS

We conducted a 3-month experiment by recruiting participants who were users of a smartphone diet management app. We recruited 102 participants and divided them into 3 groups. Treatment group I received text messages using the standard features of the app (AI-based text message intervention). Treatment group II received video messages from a companion, in addition to the text messages (combined text message and human video message intervention by AI). The control group used the app to keep a dietary record, but no feedback was provided (no intervention). We examine the participants’ continuity and the effects on physical indicators.

RESULTS

Combined AI and video messaging (treatment group II) led to a lower dropout rate from the program compared to the control group, and the Cox proportional-hazards model estimate showed a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.078, which was statistically significant at the 5% level. Further, human intervention with AI and video messaging significantly reduced the body fat percentage (BFP) of participants after 3 months compared to the control group, and the rate of reduction was greater in the group with more individualized intervention. The AI-based text messages affected the BMI but had no significant effect on the BFP.

CONCLUSIONS

This experiment shows that it is challenging to sustain participants' healthy behavior with AI intervention alone. The results also suggest that even if the health information conveyed is the same, the information conveyed by humans and AI is more effective in improving health than the information sent by AI alone. The support received from the companion in the form of video messages may have promoted voluntary health behaviors. It is noteworthy that companions were competent, even though they were nonexperts. This means that person-to-person communication is crucial for health interventions.
Handheld computer devices to support clinical decision-making in acute nursing practice: a systematic scoping review (Preprint)
Authors: Glanville David , Khaw Damien , Hutchinson Anastasia
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Nursing care is increasingly supported by computerised information systems and decision-support aids. Since the advent of Handheld Computer Devices (HCDs) there has been limited exploration of their use in nursing practice.

OBJECTIVE

To understand the professional and clinical impacts of nurse use of mobile health applications to assist clinical decision-making in acute care settings. To explore the scope of published research and identify key nomenclature with respect to research into this emerging field within nursing practice.

METHODS

This scoping review involved a tripartite search of electronic databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Google Scholar) using (1) preliminary, (2) broad, and (3) comprehensive search terms. Included studies were hand-searched for additional citations. Two researchers independently screened studies for inclusion and appraised quality using structured critical appraisal tools.

RESULTS

Of the 2,309 unique studies screened, 28 were included in final analyses: randomized controlled trials (n = 3); and quasi-experimental (n = 9), observational (n =10), mixed-methods (n = 2), qualitative-descriptive (n = 2), and diagnostic accuracy (n = 2) studies. Studies investigated the impact of HCDs on nurse decisions (n = 12, 42.9%), the effectiveness, safety, and quality of care (n = 9, 32.1%), and HCD usability, uptake, and acceptance (n = 14, 50%), and were judged to contain moderate-to-high risk of bias. The terminology used to describe HCDs was heterogenous across studies, comprising 24 unique descriptors and 17 individual concepts that reflected three discrete technology platforms (‘PDA technology, ‘Smartphone / tablet technology’, ‘Healthcare-specific technology’). Study findings varied, as did the range of decision-making modalities targeted by HCD interventions. Interventions varied according to the level of clinician versus algorithmic judgment: unstructured clinical judgment; structured clinical judgment; computerised algorithmic judgment.

CONCLUSIONS

The extant literature is varied but suggests that HCDs can be used effectively to support aspects of acute nursing care. However, there is a dearth of high-level evidence into this phenomenon and studies exploring the degree to which HCD implementation may affect acute nursing care delivery workflow. Additional targeted research using rigorous experimental designs is needed in this emerging field to determine their true potential in optimising acute nursing care.

Authors: Polhemus Ashley , Simblett Sara , Dawe-Lane Erin , Gilpin Gina , Elliott Ben , Jilka Sagar , Novak Jan , Nica Raluca , Temesi Gergely , Wykes Til
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Tracking and visualizing health data through mobile health applications (apps) can be an effective self-management tool for mental health conditions. However, little evidence is available to guide the design of health tracking and data visualization mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE

Analyze the content of user reviews of depression self-management apps to guide the design of data tracking and visualization mechanisms in future apps.

METHODS

We systematically reviewed depression self-management apps on the Google Play and iOS app stores. English-language reviews of eligible apps published between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021 were extracted from the app stores, and reviews which referenced health tracking and data visualization were included in sentiment analysis as well as qualitative framework analysis.

RESULTS

Searches identified 130 unique apps, 26 of which were eligible for inclusion. We included 783 reviews in framework analysis. Five themes emerged: “impact of app-based health tracking,” “tracking mental health: data recording and data visualization,” “a larger health ecosystem,” “cost, finance, and paywalls,” and “technical issues.” Reviews that discussed previous experiences with health tracking apps, the responsiveness of the developer, and personalization had higher ratings and more positive sentiment scores, while those which discussed data accuracy, interoperability, limited ability to display multiple data streams, and technical issues had lower ratings and scores.

CONCLUSIONS

App-based health data tracking supports depression self-management when features align with users’ individual needs and goals. Heterogeneous preferences pose a challenge for app developers and further research should prioritize features based on importance and impact to users.

Research Data Management Practices at the University of Namibia: Moving Towards Adoption
Authors: Samupwa Astridah Njala , Kahn Michelle
Published: June 2022

The management of research data in academic institutions is increasing across most disciplines. In Namibia, the requirement to manage research data, making it available for the purposes of sharing, preservation and to support research findings, has not yet been mandated. At the University of Namibia (UNAM) there is no institutional research data management (RDM) culture, yet RDM may nevertheless be practiced among its researchers. The extent to which these practices have been adopted is, however, not known. This study investigated the extent of RDM adoption by researchers at UNAM. It identifies current or potential challenges in managing research data, and proposes solutions to some of these challenges that could aid the university as it attempts to encourage the adoption of RDM practices. The investigation used Rogersâ€™ Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory, with a focus on the innovation-decision process, as a means to establish where UNAM researchers are in the process of adopting RDM practices. The population under study were the UNAM faculty members who conduct research as part of their academic duties. Questionnaires were used to gather quantitative data. The study found that some researchers practice RDM to some extent out of their own free will, but there are many challenges that hinder these practices. Overall, though, there is a lack of interest in RDM as the knowledge of the concept among researchers is relatively low. The study found that most researchers were at the knowledge stage of the innovation-decision process and recommended, among other things, that the university puts effort into creating RDM awareness and encouraging data sharing, and that it moves forward with infrastructure and policy development so that RDM can be fully adopted by the researchers of the institution.

Published: June 2022

Current Transformer (CT) is an important component that functions as a tool to regulate the amount of current that enters the kWh Meter on a 3-phase indirect measurement customer. To ensure the accuracy of measuring instruments, especially CT, it is necessary to check whether the installed CT still meets the standards. Current Transformer error (CT error) is the difference between the measured value on the secondary side and the actual value on the primary side of a CT measurement. This final project aims to design a tool that is able to provide information and record CT error value measurement data in real time and display it on the Cayenne IoT. This final project uses Arduino Mega 2560 with PZEM 004T module as a current sensor, GSM 800L module for Arduino connection with Cayenne IoT. Cayenne IoT is used to visualize the data so that the CT measurement conditions can be monitored. Each PZEM 004T will read current changes and the data will be processed by Arduino Mega 2560 and then sent to Cayenne Iot for display, making monitoring and data retrieval easy. After making and testing the tool, it was found that the design tool was able to send measurement results to the Cayenne IoT and was able to provide real-time information and record CT error value measurement data installed on the customer's electrical panel for evaluation materials with the expected measurement results with direct measurements contained in 0% - 0.3% difference in AMOR CT readings with Ampere Tang.

The PLN Company already has an application called ACMT or more precisely the Centralized Meter Record Application. This application also has the advantage that customers can access their meter data online. However, this application is not fully effective because not all customers have Android or if they already have Android but do not have an internet package because of the difficulty of finding input during this pandemic. Therefore, the appsheet describes the solution to this problem, namely the appsheet application can only be accessed by PLN officers who are carrying out their duties and the data is always updated. The use of this appsheet can make it easier for customers and can also help officers make their job easier

Perkembangan teknologi dalam bidang transportasi yaitu pada kendaraan listrik berkembang cukup pesat karena krisis bahan bakar fosil. Pada kendaraan listrik, terdapat penggerak utama agar kendaraan listrik dapat berjalan yaitu menggunakan motor listrik. Salah satu penggerak yang digunakan pada kendaraan listrik adalah motor DC jenis Permanent Magnet yaitu motor BLDC karena sistem komutasi pada motor BLDC berkomutasi secara elektrik sehingga memiliki efisiensi yang tinggi. Metode yang digunakan dalam pembuatan alat ini yaitu menggunakan mikrokontroler Arduino Uno sebagai kontroler yang mendapat sinyal input atau masukan dari pembacaan Hall Effect Sensor terhadap perubahan medan magnet pada saat motor BLDC berputar yang terjadi di dalam motor BLDC. Jenis motor yang digunakan yaitu motor BLDC 1000 Watt dengan tegangan 48 Volt yang menggunakan Inverter 3 Fasa untuk pengendalian motor BLDC. Pengontrolan kecepatan motor BLDC menggunakan keypad untuk mengatur besaran nilai duty cycle yang mengirimkan data berupa nilai ADC (Analog Digital Converter) ke mikrokontroler kemudian dirubah menjadi sinyal PWM (pulse Width Modulation) melalui inverter. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, kendali kecepatan motor BLDC menggunakan PWM adalah dengan mengendalikan nilai duty cycle,. Penambahan nilai duty cycle dapat mempengaruhi nilai tegangan motor.  Semakin tinggi nilai duty cycle, maka nilai tegangan juga akan meningkat. Ketika nilai tegangan meningkat, maka nilai arus juga akan meningkat. Arus sebanding dengan kecepatan pada motor sehingga kecepatan motor juga akan meningkat. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian menunjukkan tegangan dan arus  berbanding lurus dengan rpm motor.

Behaviors and actions of individuals to achieve a goal to be obtained in principle are largely determined by a desire, needs, and expectations. Individuals in conducting behavior, actions, and actions are always based on factors that are nature coming from within themselves or coming from outside themselves or from the environment. Factors from within the individual can determine behavior, actions and actions, as well as factors from outside the individual can strengthen or reduce the motive of an individual in acting, acting and doing. Motive is a stimulus, encouragement, desire, or desire of individuals to behave, act and act. While motivation refers to the process that encourages individuals to behave, act and act in reacting to each situation, thus the motive is a driving force for behavior, actions and actions. In the competition in every sport the highest level is generally followed by athletes who have great talent, have amazing talents, are persistent, highly disciplined, have a strong and tough mentality, so what distinguishes the champion or who has amazing achievements with ordinary achievements are very difficult to distinguish. At this very high level of achievement, an athlete with small, simple self-motivated techniques that are very well managed can make the athlete successful in his career.

Most of teachers in Aceh have not applied innovative teaching models as suggested in the Curriculum 2013. Generally they teach without using curriculum models suggested in the 2013 curriculum. Teachers are not yet fully informed about the learning models, so teachers are difficulty and rarely apply in the learning process. Based on the problems experienced by these teachers, then the thing done to solve the problem is to provide training and mentoring activities. Subjects in this study teachers SDN Banda Aceh as many as 40 people. This study employed descriptive qualitative method. Training on the learning model based on the 2013 curriculum for two days includes: first day of theoretical training on learning model; The second day, the training to practice the learning model that will be developed. Further assistance in developing and practicing the model of learning in the classroom for four months. In the process of mentoring teachers guided from the process of making learning tools such as RPP, Media and LKS. The results showed that only 30% applied the models suggested in the curriculum 2013. Teachers' efforts in applying these models are demonstrated by the teacher's persistence from the process of making the lesson plan, it seems that the teachers who applied the models were enthusiastic in fixing model-based RPPs, looking at modules, designing the required media, and asking actively when something is poorly understood. Teachers are recommended to apply the 2013 curriculum learning models in order to have innovative classroom activities that can make the students active and enthusiastic.
