Protective effects of Quercus salicina blume leaves aqueous extracts against cadmium-induced oxidative stress and cell cytotoxicity in HK-2 cells
Authors: Kim Yun Jeong , Lee Joo-Won , Om Ae-son
Published: November 2023

Background: Quercus salicina Blume is an evergreen plant growing southern parts of Korea and Japan, and has been used for the treatment of dysentery, dermatitis, and hemorrhage from possible effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-endemic and litholytic activities. We investigated the underlying mechanisms of Quercus salicina Blume leaf extracts (QS) protection against cadmium treatment utilizing human kidney origin HK-2 cells.Methods: To ascertain the functional constituents of the hot water-extracted QS, we conducted analyses to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Subsequently, the antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (ferric ion reducing antioxidant power) methods. After treating HK-2 cells with QS and Cd, we confirmed the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of related proteins through western blotting. This investigation aimed to assess the antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects of QS against cadmium-induced oxidative stress. Results: QS exhibited strong antioxidative potential, since the samples exhibited significantly high DPPH and FRAP values. Upon exposure of HK-2 cells to cadmium, inducing oxidative stress, the application of QS effectively reinstated cellular antioxidative functions, leading to an augmentation in cell viability. Notably, the presence of QS attenuated the heightened expression of oxidative marker enzymes induced by cadmium treatment, including SOD (superoxide dismutase) 1, catalase, Nrf-2, and Heme-oxygenase. The apparent disappearance of the apoptotic bodies indicates a potential apoptosis controlling effect of QS. Furthermore, the considerable increase in sub-G1 phase with the addition of cadmium was diminished under QS treatment indicating the ability of QS to reduce the degree of apoptosis related cell cycle phase. The apoptotic quenching effects of QS were accompanied by the downregulation of pro-apoptotic protein Bax and up-regulation of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2. The examination of cleaved caspase-9 and caspase-3 has provided evidence that the pronounced anti-apoptotic activities observed in cadmium-challenged HK-2 cells significantly diminished in the presence of QS. Conclusions: QS is a highly effective antioxidant and reduces cell cytotoxicity caused by cadmium through antioxidant functions and anti-apoptotic capabilities.Keywords: Quercus salicina Blume leave, cadmium, antioxidant, anti-apoptosis
Economic Activity in the Church – the Penal Dimension. Comments on the Amendment to Canon 1376 CIC
Authors: Świto Lucjan
Published: November 2023

The 1983 Code of Canon Law does not contain any norms regulating the economic activity of ecclesiastical juridic persons. This does not mean, however, that canon law has no regard for that. The ecclesiastical legislator’s concern for the supervision of economic activity is expressed in the regulation of rather complex ways of managing church property, including the special act of its alienation, and determination of penal sanctions for violating the relevant rules.
The penal norm of Canon 1377 that was previously in force, penalizing the alienation of church property without the requisite permission, has now been significantly extended. Pope Francis, reforming Book VI of the Code of Canon Law, expanded the scope and principles of penal liability for economic abuses by redacting Canon 1376 anew. The norm of this provision penalises the offence of misappropriating or preventing the gaining of benefits from church goods (which was previously absent from the Code) and the offence of performing unlawful acts in the administration of church goods (which has been significantly extended). Reflecting on the penal aspect of administration of church property, the article attempts to answer the following questions: What are these offences? What was the legislator’s intention? What is the essence of the penal law reform in the area at hand?
Time-frequency Volatility Spillovers of Conventional Stock Markets: Evidence from Developed, Emerging, and Frontier Markets
Authors: Rehman Moghis Ur , Khursheed Zamrud , Ali Muhammad Kashif
Published: November 2023

This study examines the volatility spillovers and financial connectedness of conventional equity stock markets in developed, emerging, and frontier economies in GCC, SAARC, BRIC, and G7. Diebold and Yilmaz (DY-12) and Baruník and Krehlík (BK-18) spillover methods are used to analyze the daily data for the period 2012-2021. The findings indicate that the coronavirus pandemic significantly affected return and volatilities in conventional stock markets, surpassing any previous economic instability event, such as the 2014-2015 crude oil crisis. The findings also reveal that conventional stock markets are weakly interconnected in terms of overall return, with the US stock market being the top transmitter of returns and volatility. These findings have significant policy implications for investors, regulators, and policymakers.

Authors: Hamid Iqra , Sajid Abdul Nafay , Batool Zahra
Published: November 2023

It is essential for a firm to take advantage of the rising phenomenon of coopetition across multiple firms and marketplaces in today's highly competitive climate to enhance its financial performance. Hence, this study contributes to the existing body of literature by probing the link between coopetition and the success of open innovation initiatives in Pakistani SMEs. The failure of Pakistani SMEs to establish a controlled method of coopetition has had a deleterious effect on financial performance. The current research is conducted to identify the low open innovation problem in Pakistani small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which has a negative effect on financial performance. It aims to investigate the impact of coopetition on financial performance and the mediating function of the firm’s open innovation performance in it. To achieve this objective, a survey employing a cross-sectional research design was conducted. The respondents were selected from SMEs operating in the service sector in the cities of Bahawalpur, Multan, and Lodhran in Pakistan. A total of 155 questionnaires were distributed among managerial employees of the above SMEs. The data collected from the responses to the questionnaires was analyzed through Partial Least Square-Structure Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). It was found that coopetition has a strong role in boosting financial performance. The importance of trust and dependence in crafting an effective coopetition strategy is also emphasized in this research.

Authors: Bashir Iram , Gillani Syeda Shaista , Majeed Fouzia
Published: November 2023

The current study aims to employ an ecologically sustainable method, utilizing a plant-based extract derived from Mimusops elengi as both a reducing and capping agent. Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was done from aqueous leaves and flower extracts of Mimusops elengi. Different spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize these biosynthesized (ZnO NPs) zinc oxide nanoparticles like UV-visible, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX techniques. UV-visible spectroscopy showed the absorption wavelength of ZnO NPs at 353nm (leaves extracts) and 365nm (flowers extracts). FTIR spectra showed the absorption frequency of different functional groups present in plant extract along with ZnO peak at 637cm-1 (leaves extracts) and 643cm-1 (flowers extracts). XRD results revealed the hexagonal structure and crystalline nature of biosynthesized ZnO NPs. The average grain size calculated for ZnO NPs of leaves and flower extracts was 10.37 and 15.52nm, respectively. SEM analysis showed a hexagonal shape. EDX confirmed the formation and purity of ZnO NPs by showing an abundant % of zinc and oxygen atoms. The significant bactericidal efficacy of biosynthesized ZnO NPs was found against pathogens Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. When compared to ZnO nanoparticles from flower extracts and biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles from leaf extract exhibited substantial suppression.  ZnO-NPs synthesized from leaves and flower extracts of Mimusops elengi can be subjugated for biomedical and ecologically sustainable applications.

Aim: to assess the efficacy and safety of combined lipid-lowering therapy including statin and ezetimibe in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are followed up in a short-term study. Patients and Methods: a prospective cohort study involved 50 patients who were divided into 2 groups (25 patients in each group) by sequential inclusion. In group 1, atorvastatin (80 mg) plus ezetimibe (10 mg) were prescribed. In group 2, pitavastatin (4 mg) plus ezetimibe (10 mg) were prescribed. Over a 6-month follow-up period, changes in the clinical signs and parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were evaluated. Results: at baseline, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and glucose levels were similar in the groups. After 1 month, LDL-C <1.4 mmol/L were reported in less than 50%. Meanwhile, a decrease in LDL-C <1.4 mmol/L or a decrease in LDL-C by ≥50% occurred in 17 (68%) patients in each group. After 6 months, glucose levels in group 1 were significantly higher than those in group 2 (p=0.034). Intragroup analysis of blood glucose changes over time revealed a significant increase after 6 months in group 1 (p=0.005) but no significant changes in group 2. Over a 6-month follow-up period, diabetes was newly diagnosed in four patients, with no significant differences between the groups. Conclusion: a comparable clinical lipid-lowering efficacy of both treatment regimens was demonstrated. Significantly higher blood glucose levels were reported in the atorvastatin group than in the pitavastatin group, with no significant differences between the groups in newly diagnosed carbohydrate metabolism disorders. The most significant limitation of this study was the small sample size and relatively short follow-up period. KEYWORDS: diabetes, acute coronary syndrome, atorvastatin, pitavastatin, ezetimibe, lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism.

Using the Socio-ecological Model to Examine Prevalence and Demographic Correlates of Alcoholic Beverage Consumption among Adolescents in Public Schools in Uganda
Authors: Rukundo Aloysius , Kibanja Grace , Mwesigye Adrian
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION: Consumption of alcohol among the youth could be attributable to socio-demographic characteristics. This paper anchors on the socio-ecological model to expound on the prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of alcohol consumption among adolescents in public secondary schools. Specifically, the model was used to explore gender, religious affiliation, form or class of study, social media use, friendships, and involvement in places of entertainment as possible predictors of alcohol consumption.

METHOD: We employed a cross-sectional survey with quantitative methods. The sample comprised 1819 participants, yielding a 91.8% response rate. Males were relatively more numerous (59.3%), and the mean age was 17.3 (SD = 1.9). Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were employed to deduce the association of selected demographics with the consumption of beer, wine, and spirits.

RESULTS: The prevalence of alcohol consumption was generally high. Multivariate logistic regression showed a significant gender difference in the consumption of beer and spirits. Females had lower odds of consuming beer and spirits. Students in the Muslim and Pentecostal dominions were less likely to consume beer, wine, and spirits than their Roman Catholic and Anglican counterparts. Students in the Roman Catholic dominion had higher odds of consuming any type of alcohol compared to other religions. Loving to be in places of entertainment and the use of social media significantly predicted the consumption of beer, wine, and spirits.

CONCLUSION: At the multivariate level, some socio-ecological factors could account for differential alcohol consumption among the students. Individual student-level factors such as gender and the institutional factor of religion could explain alcohol consumption among the students. Specifically, gender and religion were significantly associated with alcohol consumption. It is recommended that ecological differences and “gendered models” are considered as part of the interventions for in-school youth drinking.

Published: November 2023

In this research study, environmentally friendly and biodegradable PU polymer foam was synthesized from starch-containing potato crust to be used as a thermal insulation material by reducing reliance on fossil resources and utilizing biomass resources. Biopolyols were obtained by reacting with active solvents at different reaction times, in the presence of different catalysts and at different catalyst concentrations. The most suitable polyol in terms of biomass content, density, viscosity and acid-hydroxyl number was selected for PU foam synthesis. Reactions for PU synthesis were tried and PU foam was synthesized. The synthesized PU foam was examined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Its morphological structure, thermal degradation properties, sound transmission coefficient and water absorption properties were determined by comparing it with a commercial PU foam.
SEM images showed a heterogeneous pore distribution with closed and open cells, the majority of which were closed. From the TGA results, it was determined that a two-step degradation occurred and incorporating biomass into its structure improved the total thermal degradation properties. The sound transmission rate of starch-containing PU foam, when used as a thermal insulation material, was measured to be lower than the concrete structure, but partially close to and higher than that of commercial PU foam. The water absorption properties of the synthesized PU foam were found to be significantly higher compared to commercial PU foam and and contributed to its usability as a thermal insulation material. Thermal insulation material PU foam is synthesized in terms of its properties.

Background and Objectives In recent years, flavonoids such as quercetin have been considered as new anticancer drugs. The mechanisms of action of quercetin include cell cycle arrest, inhabitation of cell proliferation, and induction of apoptosis. This study aims to reduce quercetin’s side effects by increasing MCF-7 breast cancer cells’ sensitivity to this drug and facilitating the cytotoxic effects of quercetin at lower concentrations. Subjects and Methods In this study, the MTT assay was used to determine the concentration that reduced the cell viability by 50% (i.e. lethal concentration 50 or LC50). Then, the expression of the DNA fragmentation factor-45 (DFF45) and some genes in the apoptosis pathway (caspase3, p53, BAX, BCL-2, AIF), the autophagy pathway (LC3, ATG5, Beclin, DRAM) and the AKT/mTOR pathway (AKT1, mTOR, and PTEN), in cells treated with siRNA, quercetin, and quercetin+siRNA using the real-time PCR. Results According to the results of MTT assay, the LC50 value for quercetin was determined 220 μM. The results indicated the initiation of cell death through autophagy pathways. The combined treatment (quercetin+siRNA) increased the mechanism of cancer cell death more than the quercetin treatment alone. Conclusion One of the regulating pathways of apoptosis is forcing the inhibitory effect of DFF45 on DFF40/CAD nuclease. Down regulation of DFF45, along with quercetin administration, can lead to induction of breast cancer cell death which can be a novel technique for the treatment of breast cancer.

Published: November 2023

The article carried out scientific research and investigated the problem of the correct interpretation of the concept of "credit risk". The norms of the current legislation of Ukraine regarding the definition of the concept of "credit risk (CR)", which is regulated as the amount of expected losses or damages (EL) for an asset as a result of the debtor’s (counterparty’s) default, have been analyzed. The concepts of "default" and "credit loss" are considered, the National Bank of Ukraine’s assessment of the credit portfolio due to the war is disclosed, the losses of which are estimated at the level of 30%, which poses a great threat to the banking sector. Changes to a number of regulatory documents regarding prudential credit risk assessment approaches have been analyzed: banks’ opportunities to apply simplified credit risk assessment procedures have been expanded; established temporary features of credit risk assessment to support banks in providing flexible conditions, socalled credit holidays, to borrowers in a period of uncertainty; an amendment was made to the Instruction on the Procedure for Regulating the Activities of Banks in Ukraine, which reduced the risk weight (RWA) from 150% to 100% for consumer unsecured loans. The restrictions on foreign currency exchange operations related to non-resident banks on the so-called "stop" conditions for the first group of the Foreign Currency Classifier to support the liquidity of banks have been substantiated. Innovations of the International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS (IFRS) were studied, which in the legal and economic context of the essence of credit risks provides for the concept of expected credit losses (which will always be greater than zero), which should reflect probable losses due to the ownership of financial assets. The means of reducing credit risks were analyzed, in particular, diversification: geographical and portfolio. Considering the specifics of credit risks, the specifics of credit transactions are substantiated. The criteria for assessing credit risks based on qualitative and quantitative analysis are revealed. It was concluded that the actual assessment of credit risks in financial terms is under the influence of credit risk on the financial results of business entities and banking institutions and the specifics of credit operations.

Jeffrey Koperski, DIVINE ACTION, DETERMINISM, AND LAWS OF NATURE [Book review]
Authors: Rubio Daniel
Published: November 2023

Jeffrey Koperski offers a philosopher of science’s intervention in the debate over divine action, with the dual purpose of providing a scientifically-historically informed clarification of key concepts such as “determinism” and “law of nature,” as well as proposing and defending his “neoclassical” model of divine action. Koperski frames the debate as between three broad factions: interventionists, who believe not only in ongoing divine activity that sustains creation, but also special divine action that violates the laws of nature; nonviolationists, who believe not only in ongoing divine activity that sustains creation, but also special divine action if it does not violate the laws of nature; and noninterventionists, who believe only in ongoing divine activity that sustains creation, not special divine action. Each of these factions is painted as searching for a way between the Scylla of Deism and the Charybdis of Occasionalism. Koperski’s own view is a novel version of nonviolationism. 
Emerging practices supporting diabetes self-management among food insecure adults and families: A scoping review
Authors: Gucciardi Enza , Yang Adalia , Cohen-Olivenstein Katharine , Parmentier Brittany , Wegener Jessica
Published: November 2023

Background

Food insecurity undermines a patient’s ability to follow diabetes self-management recommendations. Care providers need strategies to direct their support of diabetes management among food insecure patients and families.

Objective

To identify what emerging practices health care providers can relay to patients or operationalize to best support diabetes self-management among food insecure adults and families.

Eligibility criteria

Food insecure populations with diabetes (type 1, type 2, prediabetes, gestational diabetes) and provided diabetes management practices specifically for food insecure populations. Only studies in English were considered. In total, 21 articles were reviewed.

Sources of evidence

Seven databases: Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Medline, ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Database, PsychInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Results

Emerging practices identified through this review include screening for food insecurity as a first step, followed by tailoring nutrition counseling, preventing hypoglycemia through managing medications, referring patients to professional and community resources, building supportive care provider-patient relationships, developing constructive coping strategies, and decreasing tobacco smoking.

Conclusion

Emerging practices identified in our review include screening for food insecurity, nutrition counselling, tailoring management plans through medication adjustments, referring to local resources, improving care provider–patient relationship, promoting healthy coping strategies, and decreasing tobacco use. These strategies can help care providers better support food insecure populations with diabetes. However, some strategies require further evaluation to enhance understanding of their benefits, particularly in food insecure individuals with gestational and prediabetes, as no studies were identified in these populations. A major limitation of this review is the lack of global representation considering no studies outside of North America satisfied our inclusion criteria, due in part to the English language restriction.

Gangwon-do is an area that is greatly affected by natural terrain. Natural disasters were the result of reflecting various characteristics of natural terrain. It was not much different during the Joseon Dynasty. Fires, floods, tsunamis, and infectious diseases were frequent. The fire started in December and lasted until April of the following year. The fire broke out mainly in private houses. The flood damage was clearly divided into the Yeongdong area and the Yeongseo area.
Natural disasters during the Joseon Dynasty were soon linked to farming. Gangwon-do frequently reported the disaster situation to the central government. The government was able to know the results of farming in advance through the disaster report. Through this, it was dealt with in advance. The consequences of intensive natural disasters were linked to a famine. Through this, the government and Gangwon Province had to find a way to avoid the famine as much as possible.
Mermaids and Drag Gueens: A Queer Look at Mermaiding
Authors: Avrami Yuval
Published: November 2023

Mermaiding is the practice of wearing a tail designed to look like that of a fish. In this work I look at this phenomenon from the lens of gender and performance, aiming to understand if mermaiding constitutes a form of drag, by establishing the position of the mermaid symbol in queer and transgender spaces, then comparing testimonies of drag performers and professional and amateur mermaids. I also look at this practice through the lens of post-human theory, determining in which ways the mermaid body constitutes an object of identification for the person wearing a tail. By doing so, I demonstrate the similarities between the phenomena and their meaning, and show that the emergence of this practice affirms posthuman predictions of a future where the connection between human body and identity dissolve and enable new, hybrid identities.

In this article we disrupt extractivist and privileged individualised knowledge production by decentering the human ‘I’ to ‘we’ through storying.  By entangling more-than-human bodies, ‘we’ is  re-configured through a posthuman praxis of an iterative metamorphosing Baglady storying collective. Starting with the provocation of locking and unlocking, we story as a way to make sense of political and ethical affectivities that disrupt and interrupt everyday materialities and spatialities. From here, we speculate with movements of response-ability as “intra-activism” (Renold & Ringrose, 2017, 631). For us, storying puts in motion intra-action, speculation, calls to act, relationality and feminist community building that we frame as intra-storying-activism. Making and re-making stories with intra-storying-activism navigates non-hierarchical post-authorship to re-imagine, speculate-with and trouble the human from extractivist positions. By foregrounding relationality as a multiplying storying, we create playful, dynamic and generative spaces for knowledge making as a collective that both welcomes and provokes calls to act.
Moslund, S.P., Marcussen, M.K., Pedersen, M.K. (Eds.). (2020). How Literature Comes to Matter. Post-Anthropocentric Approaches to Fiction
Authors: Srinivas Vedant
Published: November 2023

How Literature Comes to Matter offers a path-breaking look at how New Materialist/Posthumanist theory might contribute to literary reflections on the entangled relations between humans and more-than-human material realities. By establishing a link between fiction and post-anthropocentric theory, the book attempts to broaden the scope of how such theory(-ies) might be used to interrogate the presence and significance of the objective and the non-human in literature.

CV Manis Maqbul Jaya is a Specialist Interior Design company, Furniture Production, Contractor Consultant and Kitchen Set Design. In the warehousing process carried out by CV Manis Maqbul Jaya, they still use the manual method, namely the process of goods entering the warehouse and the process of goods leaving the warehouse by recording using a book. Warehousing is used for the storage of goods, namely raw materials and finished goods (Production). The recording of manual inventory updates causes the accumulation of transaction data for incoming and outgoing goods, due to delays in delivering information from store clerks and production officers to warehouse officers or vice versa. so that the process of releasing goods is carried out not based on storage or expiration dates, resulting in damaged or expired old goods. These problems can be overcome by creating a warehousing application using the FIFO (First in First Out) method, where the first item that enters means that the item is the first one out. The warehouse application is software that functions to record and monitor all activities of goods leaving the warehouse and entering the warehouse in real-time. This application is made on a web-based basis to assist the process of recording inventory updates, accurate goods data can be used as an evaluation of incoming goods as an inventory report, thus facilitating the process of running calculations in inventory recording by paying attention to the quality of wood and the expiration of goods used in the warehousing process.

Bekisting merupakan cetakan sementara yang mempunyai peranan penting saat pengecoran beton agar hasil cetakan beton sesuai rencana. Perencanaan bekisting tentu tidak lepas dari peranan biaya dan waktu. Ada berbagai jenis bekisting yang biasa dipakai di lapangan, tetapi tidak semua orang mengetahui perbandingan harga antara jenis bekisting, adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan biaya dan waktu antara bekisting kayu  multiflek dengan bekisting bondek untuk plat lantai di  Kabupaten Ciamis. Metode penelitian yang dipakai pada penelitian ini adalah studi komparatif, yaitu membandingkan harga satuan pekerjaan dengan memakai bahan yang berbeda dalam suatu pekerjaan yang sama yaitu pekerjaan bekisting plat lantai dan dak atap antara menggunakan material kayu multiflek dengan material besi galvanis (bondek) untuk kemudian dianalisis dan dicari nilai yang lebih ekonomis dan efisien.

Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan anggaran biaya yang dibutuhkan untuk pekerjaan membuat bekisting pelat lantai menggunakan multiplek pada Renovasi Masjid Al-Badriyah sebesar Rp.116.467.904,00 dengan harga untuk 1 m² nya adalah Rp.371.390,00. Sedangkan untuk pekerjaan bekisting bondek sebesar Rp.96.494.197,33 dengan harga untuk 1 m² nya adalah Rp. 307.698,33. Berdasarkan perbandingan harga terdapat selisih sebesar Rp. 19.973.706,00, sehingga harga bekisting bondek di Kabupaten Ciamis lebih murah dibandingkan dengan bekisting multiplek. Waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan pemasangan bekisting menggunakan multiplek yaitu 34 hari kerja, sedangkan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan pemasangan bekisting menggunakan bondek yaitu 9 hari kerja.

Kelurahan Sukapada yang merupakan bagian dari kecamatan Cibeunying Kidul   penerangan jalan umum (PJU) nya masih minim khususnya di wilayah RT 03 RW 02. Kurangnya penerangan jalan ini dapat menyebabkan meningkatnya kriminalitas dan kecelakaan lalu lintas, membuat area tersebut sangat berisiko baik bagi pengemudi maupun pejalan kaki. Selain itu, lingkungan yang gelap dapat memotivasi seseorang untuk melakukan kejahatan. seperti pencurian dan perilaku asusila. Karena populasi pendatang yang cukup besar , kejahatan dapat dengan mudah terjadi di lingkungan tersebut. Dari uraian terssebut diatas pemasangan lampu penerangan jalan umum dengan memanfaatkan listrik tenaga surya menjadi solusi permasalahan. Energi matahari  ini memungkinkan akses sepanjang hari, yang sangat menguntungkan untuk daerah tropis. Konsumsi energi matahari juga dapat mengurangi biaya pengeluaran. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dilakukan untuk mengatasi masalah lingkungan, dan Tim PKM dari jurusan teknik elektro Universitas Widyatama melakukan pemasangan  lampu penerangan jalan umum tenaga surya untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut.

Good and efficient waste management with incineration technology is the conversion of combustible plastic waste materials into gaseous materials (exhaust gases), as well as hard-tocombustible solids, namely bottom ash and fly ash. One of the waste treatment systems uses open burning, and transporting it to public landfills is a separate problem. Certain types of plastic waste that should be burned to process waste have not been carried out yet because there is no waste combustion system in the form of an incinerator, so further discussion is needed. This research aims to provide enlightenment and gain knowledge about how to design an incinerator system that can be used in processing waste in the Ciamis University campus environment. The research target is the Galuh University campus environment and the community, especially those related to plastic waste decomposition systems. The research method uses CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) systems, namely system design, manufacture, modification, analysis, or design optimization using a computer (workstation) using CAD software. The output of this method is a technical drawing that has been analyzed by CAE.
