Thermal injury healing in the context of neocollagenogenesis induction: preclinical randomized experimental study
Authors: Mogilnaya G. M. , Fomicheva E. V. , Melkonian K. I.
Published: December 2022

Background. The healing of skin wounds having various etiologies is known to involve a multistep process characterized by certain intercellular interactions affecting dermal cells, their attachment, migration, and differentiation. Here, recovery is interpreted as the return of dermis to its original state. The fact is, however, that the dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) is structurally impaired, which suppresses the regulatory and repository functions of the dermis, leading to the formation of a scar that inhibits several biological functions in the affected area and causes aesthetic problems associated with mobility.

Objectives. To evaluate the structural features of dermis during wound healing using a calcium-containing biodegradable implant.

Methods. The study used 60 rats that were inflicted with a third-degree burn injury (partially damaged dermis). The selected animals were divided into two groups: experimental and control. On post-burn day 14, a calcium-containing biodegradable implant was administered to rats from the experimental group, while a sterile saline solution was used in the control group. Material was sampled at two months (74 days) and four months (134 days). In order to assess the morphological state of the burn area, its sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, according to Mallory and Van-Gieson. For the selective detection of collagens, immunohistochemical tests using antibodies to collagen types I and III (Abcam, England) were employed. To characterize dermal cells, the authors used antibodies to vimentin (LabVision, USA), as well as to СD-68 (cluster of differentiation 68), α-SMA (alpha-smooth muscle actin), CD-105 (cluster of differentiation 105), and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) receptors (Abcam, England). The obtained results were processed using the Statistica 6 software (StatSoft, USA).

Results. The administration of a calcium-containing biodegradable filler during the burn healing process was found to ensure local fibroblast activation with the formation of collagen types I and III. When the implant residence time was prolonged up to four months, an increase in the number of macrophages expressing CD-68 receptors was observed. Of note is that these cells retained their localization, while α-SMA-expressing cells were localized in both the superficial and deep dermal compartments. The number of cells expressing CD-105 and VEGF rose as well.

Conclusion. The use of the biodegradable filler is found to be promising in terms of post-burn dermal regeneration, as well as providing a dermal ECM, whose collagen network composition and assembly are similar to the original. Here, macrophages act as the primary synthesis regulators of the dermal ECM and stimulate fibroblasts, which ensures re-epithelialization and angiogenesis of the inflicted area.

Authors: Surmach K. M. , Balabanovich T. I. , Malkin M. R.
Published: December 2022

Background. Comorbid patients with a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) often have thrombosis or bleeding in different periods of the disease. Early diagnosis of these complications and adequate therapy of these patients are complicated due to the peculiarities of the disease in comorbidity. Anticoagulation regimens in patients with COVID-19 are still unclear. The protocol of efficacy and safety the intermediate or therapeutic dose of low-molecular-weight heparins  is not clear and complete. It is very important to organize an individual approach for correction of the anticoagulants doses, taking into account the coagulation tests and the activity of inflammatory markers.

Clinical case description. We report a 71-year-old white male with COVID-19 pneumonia. Acute respiratory distress syndrome and atrial fibrillation were diagnosed in ten days of the disease. Therapeutic anticoagulation was started upon the admission. As early as in the 20th day of the disease a gluteal hematoma developed. Hence, prophylactic regimen of anticoagulation was started, but the worsening of dyspnea at rest, decreasing in SpO2 values to 82% according to pulse oximetry, and thrombelastographic hypercoagulability were observed after two days of such anticoagulation treatment. The patient has been receiving daily low-molecular-weight heparins injections in therapeutic doses for the following two weeks, and then the doctors have switched him to new oral anticoagulants. Patient was discharged to continue ambulatory anticoagulant’s treatment.

Conclusion. It is clear that the optimal choice of anticoagulation strategy in comorbid patients with concomitant COVID-19 remains challenging and requires randomized trials. Until the guidelines develop the effective anticoagulation strategy for various phenotypes of COVID-19 patients, the clinicians’ knowledge, experience and creative thinking will be apply to choose effective anticoagulant’s treatment on individual basis.

Authors: Davydchuk Serhii
Published: December 2022

In the modern conditions of transformation of entrepreneurship in rural areas, management of financial and economic activities of enterprises is a dynamic process that requires the use of modern methods and concepts that could increase competitiveness and efficiency of activity, as well as neutralize possible negative consequences of the influence of external environmental factors. The lack of their clear classification makes it difficult to choose the appropriate methods, taking into account the needs and goals of a particular enterprise. Based on the literature review and the implementation of the method of decomposition, the article defines the nature of the term «management methods for the enterprises’ financial and economic activities in rural areas». It also describes the management methods for an enterprise and the financial and economic activities of business entities. Taking into account the methods of comparative assessment, a set of management methods has been created. Business entities located in rural areas of Ukraine can use it to manage their financial and economic activities. The article has focused on the comparative assessment of special methods (change management methods) in the context of their implementation to manage the enterprises’ financial and economic activities in rural areas of the country. It is clarified that the set of concepts presented in the article should be aimed at optimizing business processes and improving the quality of production activities and form separate cycles of improving the mechanism of managing the financial and economic activities of the enterprise, as a result, the improvement process itself becomes permanent.
CONSUMER LOYALTY AS AN INSURANCE BUSINESS EFFICIENCY MARKER IN THE CONDITIONS OF INSURANCE MARKET DIGITALIZATION
Authors: Tkachenko Nataliia
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The deep dissemination of information technologies into all spheres of social life, including economic life, was caused by fundamental changes in the marketing environment due to the introduction of the latest tools and approaches in the formation of relationships with customers. Insurance companies are no exception in this matter, and they consider, first of all, the use of digitization processes in most business processes as a driver of their development, in particular, when maintaining the client portfolio. By the way, the latter has always been in the center of attention of insurers, and not only in conditions of widespread digitalization of the company's business processes. The purpose. The purpose of the article is to research the development of digital insurance services and identify the set of business processes of an insurance company to ensure consumer loyalty in the conditions of digitalization of the insurance business. Results. The article examines the current level of Internet use and the latest communication channels and proves that the digitalization of the main sectors of the economy will lead to the transformation of the business model of the functioning of insurance companies. Differences between digital insurance services and traditional ones are systematized based on: time availability; service format; service provision environment; level of confidentiality; office interaction; operating costs. It is well-founded that digital insurance services and the growing individualization of customer preferences will form a loyal consumer. A set of business processes of the insurance company (sales and after-sales service; settlement of losses; marketing and marketing communications; data analysis; IT support; legal and organizational support) was formed within the framework of the consumer loyalty program in order to ensure the efficiency of the insurance business. The main directions of increasing consumer loyalty in the conditions of digitalization of the insurance market are proposed. Conclusions. So, the latest technological solutions and the modern world are mutually complementary components, therefore those insurers who actively implement innovative solutions to increase the efficiency of their activities and maximize income will have rapid and sustainable development. Continuous improvement is the life philosophy of any insurance company that seeks to function successfully in a risky environment. In this aspect, consumer loyalty in the conditions of insurance market digitalization is characterized by greater significance compared to the traditional format of the organization of the insurance business. At the same time, the loyalty of the existing client base is a powerful competitive advantage and a guarantee of the effectiveness of the insurance business.

The article examines the availability and use of digital tools to improve the reputation management of a tourist destination. Today, the tourism industry is undergoing a transformation in terms of changing the service, its implementation and consumption in connection with the integration of the latest technologies and changes in society's perception of the understanding of travel in modern conditions of rapidly changing economic processes. The concept of «digitalization of a tourist destination» was directly proposed by the author and revealed within the article. The process of changes in the tourism industry in the world, and in particular in Ukraine, is considered in detail, using the example of the availability and use of digital products to influence the formation of the reputation management of a tourist destinations. These include virtual tours, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, gamification, etc. It is noted that the latest products for Ukraine are quests with gamification elements, selfie parks, etc. But NFT technology aimed at virtualization deserves special attention during the war. With the help of virtual and augmented reality technologies, the tourism industry becomes interesting, popular and in demand. Having planned a visit to a location, you can review and get even more inspired and visit or recommend a specific destination, museum, park, etc.; you can explore rarely accessible interior elements; to revive historical facts, events, etc. In the course of research, it was determined that the transformation of the tourism industry during the war directly affects the formation and improvement of the reputation of the tourist destination, and accordingly, the formation of the tourist flow and economic income to the destination after the end of the war. The digital transformation of the industry is now giving birth to new ones, many traditional tourist destinations are experiencing their second birth or new meanings and modern approaches to the visualization and realization of the service within the tourist destination.

Bu araştırmanın amacı; üniversite oyunlarına katılan futbolcuların spor yaralanması kaygı düzeyleri ile çok alanlı kararlılıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yılı Antalya ve İstanbul illerinde düzenlenen üniversitelerarası 2. Lig müsabakalarına katılan futbol takımlarından 197’si erkek, 93’ü kadın 290 futbolcu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama Araçları olarak Caz ve diğerleri (2018) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan Spor Yaralanması Kaygı Ölçeği ve Sarı (2010) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlaması yapılan Çok Alanlı Kararlılık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde iki bağımsız grup kıyaslamasında bağımsız örneklemler t testi, ikiden fazla bağımsız grupların kıyaslanmasında ise Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi çoklu karşılaştırma testi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin spor yaralanması kaygıları ile çok alanlı kararlılıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için ise Pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, futbolcuların spor yapma amacı değişkenine göre spor yaralanma kaygı puanları arasında, yeteneğini kaybetme, acı çekme ve sosyal desteği kaybetme kaygısı alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir (p>0,05). Çok alanlı kararlılık puanlarında ise bölüm değişkenine göre, sosyal ilişki seçiminde kolaylık alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (p>0,05). Futbolcuların spor yaralanması kaygı düzeyi alt boyutlarından hayal kırıklığına uğratma (p<.05; r=0.139) ve yeniden yaralanma (p<.05; r=0.119) alt boyutu ile çok alanlı kararlılıkları arasında pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu durumun, futbolcularda yaralanma kaygısının verdiği his ile ileriye yönelik oluşabilecek hayal kırıklığına uğratma ve yeniden yaralanma düşünceleri, oyun alanı içinde ve yakın çevrelerine karşı sergiledikleri kararlı tutumlarını sürdürmeye devam edeceklerinin göstergesi olduğu söylenebilir. Bu sebeple futbolcuların yaralanma kaygısında karşı gelişen kararlılık hissini artırmaya yönelik spor psikologlarından destek alması doğru olabilir.
Selective removal of sulfate from water by precipitation with a rigid bis-amidinium compound
Authors: Tzioumis Nikki , Cullen Duncan , Jolliffe Katrina , White Nicholas
Published: December 2022

A simple, readily-prepared biphenyl bis-amidinium compound (1∙Cl2) is able to selectively precipitate sulfate from water. The precipitant is effective at concentrations as low as 1 mM and shows complete selectivity against monovalent anions, and high selectivity even against CO32– and HPO42–. It is highly effective (> 90% sulfate removed) in both seawater and highly acidic conditions relevant to mining waste-streams. X-ray crystallography reveals that 1∙SO4 forms a tightly packed, anhydrous, structure where each sulfate anion receives eight hydrogen bonds from amidinium N–H hydrogen bond donors.

Published: December 2022

The formation of C-S bonds is an important step in the synthesis of pharmaceutical, biological, and chemical products. A very attractive green route to C-S bond containing species would be one driven through electrocatalysis using abundant small molecule precursors but examples within this context are largely absent from the literature. To this end, this work demonstrates the use of CO2 and SO32- as cheap building blocks that couple on the surface Cu-based heterogeneous catalysts to form hydroxymethanesulfonate, sulfoacetate and methane sulfonate for the first time, with Faradaic efficiencies of up to 9.5%. A combination of operando measurements and computational modelling reveal that *CHOH formed on metallic Cu is a key electrophilic intermediate that is nucleophilically attacked by SO32- in the principal C-S bond forming step. In all, the proof-of-concept for electrocatalytic C-S bond formation and mechanistic insights gained stand to substantially broaden the scope of the emerging field of electrosynthesis.

Published: December 2022

In today's businesses, change is inevitable; hence it is crucial to research how change management and change variables impact organizational performance. This study's main objective is to examine change management and how it affects contemporary organizational effectiveness. A qualitative research method was used in this study, the primary source of information on the subject under consideration was previously published literature and contextual analysis was employed. The dynamics of change management and how it may be used to boost contemporary organizational effectiveness were examined in this study. The study also considered the function and actions of change-facilitating leaders. The study concludes that if certain conditions existed in organizations such as a strategic plan for implementing change, communication of change plans for employee buy-in, strategic change agents, implementation costs and maintenance of change tools, among others, change management would be successful. This study makes several recommendations, one of which is that organizations should convey the necessity of change because majority of people see change as disturbing and harmful. People tend to resist change if they don't have a feeling of urgency. Making existing conditions seem more needless than the desired changes is important to encourage an organization's acceptance of change.

Exploring the Relation Between Aerobic Exercise, BDNF and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Research Protocol
Authors: Mahmood Ramsha
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that impacts the aging population by causing severe cognitive decline. Although there is no cure for AD, studies have shown that lifestyle changes may contribute to preventing AD. The purpose of this study is to investigate how regular exercise can influence a positive change in the cognitive decline that is associated with AD in rats, through a rise in BDNF levels.
Methods: The study would be performed through a series of procedures and tests. Rats would be surgically induced with AD and separated into groups exposed to different aerobic exercise regiments. Then, they would either complete a novel object recognition test, to assess behavioural components, or magnetic resonance imaging, to assess structural components. Finally, they would have their brains extracted to measure protein levels.
Results: The rats who would have been surgically induced with AD and exposed to regular exercise, are anticipated to have performed better on the novel object recognition test, than the rats surgically induced with AD, but not exposed to regular exercise. The rats who would have been surgically induced with AD and exposed to regular exercise, are anticipated to have shown greater gray matter and hippocampal volume on the magnetic resonance imaging, exhibit greater levels of BDNF, and show decreased levels of Aβ peptides and p-tau during the protein level measurement, than the rats induced with AD but not exposed to regular exercise.
Discussion: The study would anticipate finding that the increased release of BDNF that occurs through regular exercise, decreases Aβ peptide and p-tau levels. Through decreasing Aβ peptide and p-tau levels, BDNF can be used as a form of neuroprotection in slowing down the cognitive decline that is associated with AD.
Conclusion: The measures applied when researching ways in which the cognitive decline brought on by AD in rats can be reduced, could potentially be translated to further studying therapeutic treatments for AD in humans. These results could lead to similar preventative measures for other neurodegenerative diseases. Future directions may include informing the public of the importance that lifestyle changes may have on neurological health.
Inside Paremoremo
Authors: McCarthy Christine
Published: December 2022

The idea of imprisonment, which substantially dates from the mid-eighteenth-century, is both integral to many societies today and fervently challenged, as criminological research has unquestionably demonstrated that prisons do not effectively achieve aims of protecting society, nor reform or rehabilitation. Over the last 50 years, the history of our prison architecture is bracketed by the building of Paremoremo (in the aftermath of the 1965 Mt Eden prison riot) and the more recent adoption of the American-derived New Generation prisons (e.g. Auckland Central Remand (2000), Mt Eden Corrections Facility (2011), and Kohuora (Auckland South Corrections Facility), Wiri (2015)). Paremoremo (1963-1969; archt: J.R.B. Blake-Kelly), was, at the time, "arguably the most modern and technologically sophisticated gaol in the world." It was influenced by the designs of: Blundeston prison, Suffolk, England (1961-63); Kumla prison, Sweden (1965); and Marion prison, Illinois (1963). The New Generation prisons interiorised the thinking behind 1960s campus-style prisons that displaced the cell to primarily nocturnal habitation. This paper will consider the historical consequences of 1960s prison design and Paremoremo on New Zealand prison architecture.
Simplicity of Form: a tale of two cathedrals and interiors lost?: Hamilton Founders Memorial Theatre (1962) and St Joseph's Catholic Church Morrinsville (1964)
Authors: Kellaway Laura
Published: December 2022

St Joseph's Catholic Church, Morrinsville, was designed in 1958-62 by Doug Angus of Angus, Flood & Griffiths of Hamilton. Built in 1964-65, the design was radical, had simplicity in form both externally and internally. The simple external upturned parabola defied the level of innovation and detailing, creating both the exterior and interior form with the use of pre-stressed concrete ribs, and pre-cast panels between. The parabolic form was 49' 6" in height, designed by engineer Thomas Flood. The 8,000 sqft church accommodated 600 people. It was said to be New Zealand's largest single-pour concrete roof of the time. The Modernist interior was of a grand scale with the specially-designed fittings - only seen by parishioners. And this was part of its demise. The scale was for a cathedral not small-town New Zealand. Regionally significant in terms of architecture and engineering technology, an iconic Waikato church, and the work of an important Modernist architect and engineer, yet it was demolished in 2014. In the Waikato, at the same time as the church was being designed, the new regional theatre and "town hall" was on the drawing board of architect Aubrey de Lisle, of White, de Lisle and Jenkins of Hamilton. The Founders Memorial Theatre opened in November 1962, inspired by Coventry's Belgrade Theatre, which was the first civic theatre built in Great Britain after World War Two. The 1,249-seat theatre, built a decade before Christchurch Town Hall, has hosted international performers of note to local theatre and music productions within its "gently sloping wood panelled confines." Jazz great Louis Armstrong arrived for shows on 20 March 1963, but due to payment issues he almost didn't play at all. From Louis Armstrong to Cilla Black in 1965, to the home of the Finns, the theatre for over 60 years has been the focus of many from the new teenagers of the 1960s to classical music and the performance of the young ballet students. Closed in 2016 from lack of maintenance and ongoing strengthening, with the Hotere mural removed for the new Waikato Theatre, the interior now only used in the dark for police exercises as its fate awaits. Two very different cultural interiors – a cathedral for faith and a "cathedral" for performance – a church and a theatre.
Broken Narratives: A Critical Analysis of Māori Reconnection To Their Culture Through Tabletop Roleplaying Games
Authors:   , Kingi Elijah
Published: December 2022

This thesis aims to create narrative structures and experiences for Māori who are disconnected from their culture to reforge that connection to their heritage through playing TTRPGs (Tabletop Roleplaying Games). Research on the modern Māori way of life and identity, as well as analysis of the current political landscape Māori live within in Aotearoa and the world will be a primary focus of this thesis and creative output. The many ways Māori identify in Aotearoa are and will continue to change. The ability to navigate those changes to seek and find belonging through the playing of TTRPGs is the main aim of this thesis. There are many types of TTRPGs, the emergent narratives of imaginative and collaborative storytelling create meaningful moments for players to live out scenarios they may not be able to in real life. The creative output of this thesis is a game that aims to create moments for Māori who identify on across the spectrum of connection to their culture to play out moments in their fictional character’s life, giving them agency in a fictional world where in the real world they may have none. The imagined moments shared in these stories live on in the minds of their players and affect them in meaningful ways throughout their lives. Qualitative research was gathered that highlighted the many identities of Māori across a spectrum of connection. Interviews and playthroughs conducted following the Kaupapa Kōrero conversation methodology guide the research. This thesis emulates through gameplay the conversations Māori have in their journey to reconnect to their culture. This thesis concludes that TTRPGs are an invaluable tool to help navigate the conversations one has when reconnecting with one’s culture

A RELAÇÃO ENTRE VIAGEM, EDUCAÇÃO E IDENTIDADE PARA MÁRIO DE ANDRADE
Authors: DE ALMEIDA MAGALHÃES RICARDO ELIA
Published: December 2022

Este trabalho investiga a relação estabelecida entre viagem e educação no livro “O Turista Aprendiz”, de Mário de Andrade, escrito na década de 1920, e em seu projeto educacional “Parques Infantis”, implementado na cidade de São Paulo na década de 1930. A pesquisa investiga a forma como Mário de Andrade concebeu suas viagens de uma perspectiva educacional e como em seu projeto educacional, o intelectual colocou em prática elementos assimilados durante as suas viagens. No fim da década de 1920, o autor fez duas viagens, uma para o Norte passando pelo Nordeste e outra para o Nordeste no Brasil. As suas impressões, concebidas como um diário de viagem e publicadas na década de 1970 com o título “O Turista Aprendiz”, buscam apreender a identidade brasileira, em suas múltiplas faces, através dos costumes e especificidades de cada local visitado. Na década de 1930, no período em que foi diretor do Departamento de Cultura da Prefeitura de São Paulo, Mário de Andrade pôs em prática um projeto de educação infantil denominado “Parques Infantis”, no qual crianças realizavam atividades artísticas ao ar livre inspiradas em diversas manifestações culturais do Brasil. Assim, este trabalho tem importância pela atualidade do tema; busca ampliar o conhecimento acerca da História da Educação no Brasil; e nos permite refletir sobre assuntos de grande relevância para os dias de hoje referente às mobilidades, trocas culturais, identidade, diversidade, imaginação e projetos educacionais.

Graphology as a Linguistic Level of Analysis: Definition, Theoretical Background and Proposals for Categorization
Authors: Gómez-Jiménez Eva
Published: December 2022

The present paper aims at presenting some fundamental ideas that clarify the concept of graphology as a linguistic level of analysis. Departing from the lack of a theoretical apparatus at this level, this article explains what graphology means, what has been previously published on this matter and how this can be categorized into different sub-levels of study according to Levenston (1992) and Lennard (2005). This paper takes for granted Firth’s (1957) belief that all branches of linguistics are concerned with meaning; and that graphology should therefore receive due attention from linguists as all the other linguistic levels (i.e. lexis, grammar or phonology) have. The results of this research indicate that graphology as a system has been neglected both in theoretical and in practical terms. Further work in this field is therefore needed in order to facilitate the analysis of visual elements in literary and non-literary texts.

Abstark: Pisang merupakan salah satu komoditas tanaman buah dengan tingkat permintaan yang tinggi karena memiliki banyak manfaat. Kebutuhan masyarakat untuk pasar lokal dalam negeri maupun luar negeri akan buah pisang juga dipengaruhi dengan tuntutan terhadap kualitas pisang yang terjamin. Tingkat kematangan buah pisang merupakan salah satu faktor penentu kualitas. Proses pemilahan pisang berdasarkan grade warna umumnya bergantung pada persepsi manusia terhadap faktor komposisi warna citra yang dimiliki oleh buah tersebut. Namun pengamatan yang dilakukan secara manual oleh mata manusia memiliki kelemahan yaitu adanya kesalahan manusia seperti salah lihat, gangguan penglihatan, dan mengantuk. Oleh karena itu kami mengusulkan klasifikasi tingkat kematangan buah pisang dalam ruang warna RGB menggunakan jaringan syaraf tiruan (JST). Dengan menggunakan matode yang kami usulkan pada 120 sampel buah pisang dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok, 30 sampel pisang matang, 30 sampel pisang mengkal, 30 sampel pisang mentah dan 30 sampel pisang busuk. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode yang kami usulkan dapat mengklasifikasikan tingkat kematangan buah pisang. Pengujian yang dilakukan dengan 120 sampel buah pisang menunjukkan tingkat akurasi sebesar 98,3%. yang dinilai telah mampu melakukan identifikasi tingkat kematangan pada buah pisang.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan algoritma gerak robot hexapod dan meningkatkan kecepatan optimal robot dengan menggunakan logika fuzzy. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen kemudian hasil penelitian berupa pengembangan robot. Metode yang telah diterapkan pada robot sebelumnya menggunakan algoritma wall following. Namun, diperlukan algoritma tambahan untuk mengembangkan kemampuan gerak robot hexapod, yaitu dengan menerapkan metode logika fuzzy. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan kemampuan pergerakan robot hexapod menggunakan logika fuzzy yang dibangun menggunakan mikrokontroler Arduino dan ESP-32S sebagai sistem kontrolnya. Implementasi Fuzzy Logic dirancang sedemikian rupa sehingga dapat digunakan pada robot hexapod untuk melewati rintangan. Hasil uji gerak robot hexapod diperoleh dari pembacaan jarak sensor ultrasonik US-100. Hasil pembacaan sensor ultrasonik US-100 sebagai input dikirim ke ESP 32S sebagai tempat proses logika fuzzy. Data jarak dari sensor digunakan sebagai penentuan himpunan fuzzy dan dasar pembuatan rule base. Keluaran akhir dari proses fuzzy adalah nilai pusat gravitasi yang terbagi menjadi beberapa rangkaian keluaran yaitu maju, maju kanan, maju kiri, belok kanan, dan belok kiri. Kecepatan optimal robot diperoleh dengan mengatur kecepatan dan delay sebesar 50 ms. Kemampuan memilih gerakan berdasarkan lingkungan sekitar robot sangat baik dengan tingkat keberhasilan tindakan sebesar 100% dari beberapa percobaan yang telah dilakukan. Robot dapat memasuki ruangan dengan waktu tempuh rata-rata 21,8 detik dengan jarak kurang lebih 2 meter dari posisi awal robot untuk memasuki ruangan.Kata kunci: Robot Hexapod, Fuzzy Logic, Arduino, ESP 32S dan US-100
