According to WHO estimates, there is a growing population of over 1 billion people aged above 60 years of age. There has been an increasing shortage of caregivers for the aging populations. This has opened a market of USD 7 billion dollars in senior care alone. In a struggle to care for our elderly and capitalize from this industry in efficiency, this paper presents an empathetic robot that can make day-to-day activities hassle free. It is a voice assistant that can detect the emotion of the speaker and reply with contextual awareness to bridge the superstitious gap between the elderly and technology. It achieves this with multi-modal classification of emotion using audio and text. i) Machine learning model using Librosa to engineer features and Support vector classifier (SVC) , ii) BERT based model using transfer learning to categorize text. The robot can also set reminders for appointments and medicine intake to help with forgetfulness. The robot is customizable by a caregiver or loved one through the web application where details of any messages, reminders, descriptions of prescriptions could be entered. The robot comes with a pill dispenser that can rotate and dispense pills at the correct time and also notify the senior through the speaker. A raspberry pi is used to convert the speech to text and vice versa. The design of this robot paves the path to providing a realistic, care-giving experience to the elderly.

Authors: Nginya Charles Kamunya , Muli Jedidah
Published: June 2022

Employees are assets in any organization; the importance of an employee in institution is more significant because the industry is by nature manpower intensive. Most of the employee activity and behavior in the teaching sector involves direct contact with the students. Employee performance encompasses the activities related to a job and how well these activities are executed by employees. Every employee behavior or activity does not result in performance but their reactions to external environment. There is a need to ensure every employee is motivated and encouraged to get better performance. Accordingly, the project undertook to inquire on effects of total reward on employee’s performance in technical institutions in Kenya, focusing on the Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology situated in the County of Kiambu, Kenya. Specifically, the project’s focus was effects of financial rewards, non-financial incentives, work-life balance, and career development on employees’ performance in technical institutions. The study is grounded on five theoretical underpinnings: Expectancy theory, Two Factor Theory, Work-family Enrichment Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and the Social Exchange Theory. Descriptive research design was used in the study to assert how total reward influences the performance of employees in technical institutions. Target population comprised 362 employees at Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology in Kiambu County, Kenya. The tool used for collection of data was pre-tested for validity and reliability through a pilot study on five respondents drawn from the sample. Purposive and stratified purposeful sampling was employed to select study samples. The researcher applied Yamane’s formula to generate the required sample size. Both closed and open-ended Questionnaires were used to elicit responses from the respondents. The research used SPSS computer software in undertaking analysis of the data. The research study found that total reward system had weak positive correlation with performance of employees (r=0,021, N= 155, p < 0.05). The study concludes that total rewards are essential for improved performance of employees as results of this project showed. These findings were important to the technical institutions in Kenya, if implemented could help in motivating the employees hence enhanced performance, the study suggest that studies to be done around work-life balance in rural and per-urban technical institutions.

Authors: Nastiti Heni , Argo Jenji Gunaedi , Sembiring Rosali
Published: June 2022

Quality is a factor to increase the competitiveness of a product. By increasing quality, the production costs will be reduced, thus it will eventually reduce waste. The failure of a product can be caused by the availability of raw materials, machines, equipment, human resources, and environmental factors during the production process. Quality control is a method used to keep the product needed by the market to be within controlled limits. This study aims to determine the quality of Tempe SS products at the Sirajussa’adah Islamic Boarding School in Limo Depok. It is carried out to see whether the quality is still within control limits or not by using the Six Sigma method with several stages of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) implementation. In this research, calculations are carried out using the checksheet, flow chart, histogram, Pareto Hart, control, scatter diagram and fishbone diagram methods of production. Based on the results, it can be concluded that for 25 times the study, it is obtained the value of the center line (CL) of 0.0036, the value of the upper control limit (UCL) of 0.0050, and the value of the lower control limit (LCL) of 0. It is also found that there are a number of variations in the process that are outside the control limit (out of control) and within the control limit (in control) in the production process of Tempe SS at the Sirajussa Islamic Boarding School in Limo Depok. However, this is still inadequate for the fermentation process infrastructure, equipment for packaging is still manual and environmental factors determine the cause of the number of defective products.

Authors: Hossain Mohammad Kamal , Md Abdus Salam  , Sheikh Sakib Jawad
Published: June 2022

Prior studies in Bangladesh examined how several non-demographic factors influenced consumers' online buying behavior. However, no specific research has been conducted to examine an association between consumers' demographic factors and the online shopping behavior of Bangladeshi buyers. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between online shopping behavior and the demographic characteristics of Bangladeshi buyers. The association between six consumers' demographic variables, such as age, gender, income, education, occupation, and marital status, and online shopping behavior, proxied by the frequency of online shopping, was examined. Primary data through a structured questionnaire was collected from the 547 respondents in urban and rural areas of seven divisions in Bangladesh through offline and online surveys. The chi-square test was used to examine the association between consumers' demographic characteristics and online shopping behavior. The study found that male and married consumers with a higher level of education and higher-category jobs have a higher propensity to shop online. However, consumers' age and income level do not significantly impact their online shopping behavior. The study's outcomes are expected to provide online retailers and merchants with critical information about buyer behavior.
Keywords: Association, online shopping behavior, demographic characteristics, chi-square test, Cramér’s V, e-commerce.

Authors: ALPTEKİN Ertan , ŞANLI Hüseyin , CANAKCI Mustafa
Published: June 2022

In this study, four different biodiesel fuels obtained from corn oil, safflower-rapeseed oil mixture (50%-50% v/v), waste chicken fat, and waste fleshing oil were tested in a six-cylinder, water-cooled, TDI diesel engine. Vegetable oil and waste animal fat origin biodiesel fuels’ effects on the performance, injection, combustion and emission characteristics of test engine were compared with each other and petroleum-based diesel fuel as reference fuel. Biodiesel fuels (regardless of their feedstock) increased in-cylinder gas pressure, brake specific fuel consumption, and NOx emissions while decreased THC and CO emissions compared to pure diesel fuel. In comparison to petro-diesel, the start of fuel injection timing advanced but the end of fuel injection timing retarded with biodiesels. In addition, comparatively higher fuel injection pressure values were attained with all biodiesel fuels. Waste animal fat and vegetable oil origin biodiesel fuels showed similar in-cylinder gas pressures, fuel injection characteristics and brake specific fuel consumption values. However, CO emissions of vegetable oil-based biodiesel fuels were lower and NOx emissions were higher than those of waste animal fat-based biodiesels.

Published: June 2022

There is need for the investigation into heavy metals and microbial loads in edible aquatic organisms, to evaluate their safety and compliance with standards approved by international regulatory bodies’ which regulates food and water quality. The heavy metals and total heterotrophic bacterial (THB) concentrations in catfish, surface water bodies and sediments collected from the wetlands of Isoko region of Delta State, Nigeria were determined in accordance to standard approved methods. The laboratory results revealed that the lead, cadmium, zinc and THB concentrations in the fish body parts (gills and muscle) sampled were lower, compared with those obtained from sediments samples. The lead concentration was 1.13 mg/kg and 28.01 mg/kg for the water and sediment samples respectively. Cadmium concentration of 0.19 mg/kg and 1.64 mg/kg was recorded for the water and sediment samples respectively. Then the zinc concentration was 0.39 mg/kg in the water sample and 87.17 mg/kg in the sediment samples. In terms of the fish body parts, the results revealed that the zinc, lead, cadmium and THB concentrations in the fish gills were higher, compared to the values recorded in the fish muscle. It was observed that the cadmium concentration in the fish gills and muscle was higher than the maximum allowable limit of 0.17 mg/kg approved by the FAO; while the lead and zinc concentrations in the fish gills and muscle were lower than the maximum allowable limit of 0.5 mg/kg and 67.1 mg/kg respectively, approved by the FAO for edible fish. Finding from this study will be helpful in taking appropriate measures to prevent bioaccumulation of toxic heavy metals and microbes in aquatic organisms, to levels above the maximum allowable limits approved by FAO or other regulatory bodies.

Published: June 2022

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a condition where kidney has declining its function. It can cause a loss of physical capacity characterized by decreased body fitness, muscle strength and muscle endurance. Exercise programs to overcome the problem are still not common in dialysis clinics but there are several studies on exercise programs that have a positive effect on hemodialysis patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to review aerobic and anaerobic exercise to enhance physical fitness for chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis.

Design: The study design used was systematic review with using The Center for Review and Dissemination for writing guideline and the Joanna Briggs Institute Guideline for assessing the quality of summarized studies.

Data Sources: Search for articles accessed through database, such as ProQuest, Scopus, Science Direct, SAGE, and PubMed with keywords: Chronic kidney disease, aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, physical function and hemodialysis. The literature was published 2015-2021.

Review Methods: Joanna Briggs Institute Guidelines was used to assess the quality of the summarized studies. The presentation of the data will be done using descriptive techniques.

Results: The result of this systematic review shows that both aerobic and anaerobic exercise have a significant result for chronic kidney disease patient who undergo hemodialysis therapy. But aerobic exercise had a long-term impact for patients than anaerobic exercise. Combination of aerobic (ergometer cycle) and anaerobic exercise (resistance training exercise) also show a significant effect for physical fitness. The mechanism for enhancing physical fitness is done by strengthen the body muscle. The side effect of exercise is found minimum in most of study.

Conclusion: The combination of cycle ergometer exercise and resistance training exercise is one of the best exercises. The exercise could enhance the physical fitness by strengthen the muscle. The exercise could be done home based or intradialytic, but some articles state that intradialytic exercise is better than home based exercise.

Syndrome de détresse respiratoire aiguë (SDRA) : quel est le devenir à long terme de ces patients ?
Authors: Chommeloux Juliette , Matthieu Schmidt
Published: June 2022

In the last decades, improvements in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management decreased in-hospital mortality. Most of the time, these young patients with ARDS suffer from post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) after discharge. The special features of PICS after ARDS include a similar global recovery for the most severe patients with ECMO, a good pulmonary function recovery but a high prevalence of physical and psychological dysfunction. Physical impairment concerns fatigue and fatigability. Half of the patients had cognitive impairment at one year and a third suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression during the first year. These symptoms persist later, associated with a reduced quality of life. As a witness to global dysfunction, only 50 % of patients return to their original work at one year. Being aware of the long-term impact of ARDS is crucial for intensivists to set up a multi-disciplinary and individual follow-up after intensive care unit discharge.

Real-time Implementation of a Single Phase Asynchronous Motor Drive, Feeding within an Open Energy Source
Authors: Ebrahim Essamudin A. , Sweelem Emad A.
Published: June 2022

A modified nanogrid (MnG) is a very small scalable grid with a low power single-input multi-output (SIMO) inverter. This inverter simultaneously produces both AC and DC currents, such as the switched boost inverter (SBI) and the z-source inverter. These inverters are suitable for low-power loads such as home appliances that use fractional horse-power motors as single-phase asynchronous drives. Thus, this article proposes a single-phase induction motor powered from a modified nanogrid that involves multiple types of inverters such as a SBI and a ZS inverter. The modified nanogrid is mainly dependent on photovoltaic (PV) as a renewable resource. Thus, this manuscript involves a full design for this proposed grid with its maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and the mathematical models for motor drive with both a SBI and a ZSI. Time-varying speed trajectories are proposed to test the robustness of the proposed drives relative to the fluctuation of PV-parameters like its irradiance. Test results are obtained using the Matlab/ Simulink software package and a comparison with the traditional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) inverter as a single-input single-output inverter (SISOI). The results indicate that the proposed single-input multi-output inverters are suitable for driving these motors through start-up and operation, although the DC-link voltage is minimized. Furthermore, the proposed system is experimentally implemented with OPAL RT-4510v real-time hardware in the loop (HIL), rapid control prototyping, and OP-8660 HIL controller and data acquisition platform.
Minimization of the Cost of Energy of Wind Turbine through Various Power Models
Authors: P. S Divya , M Lydia , G. Manoj
Published: June 2022

Wind energy is the world’s free form of energy, besides that it has expenses, because of the wind turbine construction and maintenance. The Cost of Energy (CoE) of the wind turbine is used to estimate the amount of time it takes to recover the cost of an investment by the wind farm owners. Hence optimization of the wind turbine CoE will make wind a very competent source of energy. In this article, the wind speed is modified using three alternative distributions in order to reduce the wind turbine CoE, and the turbine Annual Energy Production (AEP) is evaluated. Mathematical functions such as linear, quadratic and cubic have been used to model the wind power. This study enables us to figure out the minimum turbine CoE among the mathematical distributions, along with the optimum mathematical function for wind power modelling and to optimize the rotor radius of turbine.
