Teknologi pada kenyataannya tidak hanya tumbuh dan berkembang pada aspek teknologi itu sendiri, melainkan sudah merambah pada berbagai aspek kehidupan. Teknologi melahirkan bahasa baru tentang digitalisasi, dimana digitalisasi merupakan sebuah usaha dalam mengimplementasikan berbagai aspek kedalam dunia digital (data base). Dari sekian banyak aspek kehidupan yang dipengaruhi oleh teknologi, AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) Industry menjadi salah satu bidang yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh teknologi digital dalam perkembangannya. Pemanfaatan teknologi digital pada AEC Industry melahirkan salah satu metode pemodelan berbasis digital yaitu BIM (Building Information Modeling). BIM dalam pengertian sederhana merupakan sebuah proses pembuatan model yang secara holistik menghasilkan model yang dilengkapi dengan berbagai informasi. Pada sisi lain seiring perkembangan teknologi digital, seringkali kita dihadapkan dengan permasalahan manajemen data bangunan yang pada prosesnya dibuat dengan cara konvensional. Kehilangan data rancangan dan juga sulitnya mentracking data rancangan sangat sering terjadi, sehingga pada saat bangunan akan dilakukan tahap peremajaan, akses terhadap gambar as-built drawing sangat sulit. Tulisan ini mencoba melihat fenomena yang sering terjadi didekati dengan pemanfaatan teknologi digital. Metode yang digunakan di dalam tulisan ini adalah literatur review dan juga simulasi modeling sebagai bahan pembahasan. Tujuannya adalah untuk melihat sejauh mana peran teknologi digital dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan menejemen data di dalam bidang menejemen bangunan. Hasil dari tulisan ini adalah berupa pemanfaatan produk rancangan berbasis BIM dalam menejemen data dengan menggunakan platform website.
STUDI PERBANDINGAN KEBIJAKAN SERTIFIKAT LAIK FUNGSI BANGUNAN GEDUNG
Authors: Wiharti Wiwik , As’ad Sholihin , Sri Handayani Fajar
Published: December 2023

Permen PUPR No. 27 Tahun 2018 tentang Sertifikat Laik Fungsi Bangunan Gedung menjelaskan bahwa setiap bangunan gedung harus memiliki sertifikat laik fungsi sebagai syarat untuk dimanfaatkan. Sertifikat laik fungsi menyatakan suatu kondisi bangunan gedung memenuhi persyaratan administratif dan persyaratan teknis sesuai dengan fungsi bangunan gedung yang ditetapkan. Sedangkan persyaratan laik fungsi meliputi tata bangunan, persyaratan keselamatan, kesehatan, kenyamanan dan kemudahan. Kebijakan ini tidak hanya diberlakukan di Indonesia namun juga diberlakukan di berbagai negara dengan istilah dokumen atau sertifikat yang berbeda-beda. Di Malaysia dikenal dengan Certificate of Compliance and Completion (CCC), sedangkan di India dikenal dengan Completion Certificate (CC) dan Occupancy Certificate (OC). Pada penelitian ini akan membandingkan sertifikat kelaikan bangunan gedung dari masing-masing negara yaitu, Indonesia, Malaysia dan India. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji masing-masing kebijakan sehingga diharapkan dapat menambah wawasan serta saran untuk pertimbangan kebijakan yang lebih baik di masa mendatang. Dari hasil kajian menunjukkan peraturan di Negara India cukup tegas pada sanksi-sanksi terhadap pelanggaran yang dilakukan, namun untuk kategori bangunan tidak dibedakan terkait dengan masa berlaku sertifikat kelaikan bangunan. Hal yang sama juga diberlakukan di Negara Malaysia. Berbeda dengan Negara Indonesia, di Indonesia dibedakan menjadi 3 (tiga) kategori dengan masa berlaku yang berbeda-beda, namun untuk sanksi pelanggaran masih belum diterapkan secara penuh. Hal ini bisa jadi disebabkan karena masih belum meratanya pengetahuan terkait sertifikat laik fungsi bangunan gedung

Biochar adalah hasil pembakaran bahan organik dengan oksigen terbatas sehingga kaya akan kandungan karbon. Biochar merupakan salah satu bentuk material penangkap CO2. Biochar meimiliki potensi aplikasi yang sangat luas antara lain sebagai material revitalisasi tanah, komposit untuk bahan bangunan, material adsorben, dan lain sebagainya. Salah satu limbah yang bisa dikonversi menjadi biochar adalah limbah tempurung kelapa. Limbah tempurung kelapa dapat dikarbonisasi dengan suhu tinggi menjadi biochar yang nantinya akan digunakan sebagai material komposit. Tempurung kelapa memiliki kandungan selulosa, hemiselulosa, dan lignin yang tinggi sehingga memiliki persentasi kadar karbon yang tinggi. Selain itu, material karbon yang dihasilkan akan memiliki pori dengan ukuran bervariasi baik itu mesopori maupun makropori. Nantinya karakter karbon berpori yang dihasilkan oleh proses karbonisasi dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menciptakan paving berpori yang mudah menyerap air sehingga meminimalisir adanya genangan dan banjir saat hujan turun. Dalam penelitian ini, limbah tempurung kelapa terlebih dahulu dikarbonisasi menjadi biochar pada suhu optimum untuk menghasilkan struktur pori yang maksimal dalam penyerapan air. Uji karakteristik biochar dilakukan untuk mengetahui keterkaitan suhu dan pori yang dihasilkan. Biochar dengan pori terbaik dicapai pada proses karbonisasi 500o C dengan luas permukaan 32,565 m2/g.

EXPLORING GREEN PRODUCT ENDORSEMENTS: A COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION
Authors: B Biju. , Satheesh Ghargee
Published: December 2023

The modern world has seen a growing emphasis on
environmental consciousness because of its signicant
impact on people's health and well-being. Greendex 2012
survey revealed that Indian consumers were actively trying to
buy eco-friendly products, and the marketing of green
products in India has been on the rise. However, many
manufacturers of green products were found to be exploiting
consumers' positive attitudes by not genuinely adhering to
environmental responsibility. This has led to consumer
scepticism about the validity of green product claims, as there
often isn't enough evidence to support them. As a result,
consumers are demanding proper endorsement and
validation of these claims to make informed choices when
purchasing green products (Geographic, 2012, Bhattacharya,
2007, Jain & Kaur, 2004 & Motak & Roy, 2014).

Published: December 2023

Kachchh district falls under the Arid Bio-geographic Zone of the country having distinct oristic and
faunal composition due to its distinct climatic condition. Now in recent decades, the changing climatic
conditions and several anthropogenic activities have led to the unknowingly loss of several plant species. Climbers are one
among the unique oristic compositions of the dryland habitat of Kachchh which are distributed in all types of habitats. With the
loss of many of the host species in their natural habitat, climbers are facing threats to their survival at present. Therefore, the
study has been carried out to assess various threats on climbers, to mitigate and conserve the native climbers' species of this
landscape. Threats on climber's species were made using the rapid threat assessment (RTA) technique.
The survey observed different types of threats on climbers, including; habitat loss, intensive resource use, harvesting for food
and medicine, infra-structure development, invasion, etc. Among the climber species of the district; Corallocarpus epigaeus,
Ipomoea muricata, Tinospora cordifolia as the highest risk, while Bougainvillea spectabilis, Merremia aegyptia, Ipomoea pescaprae has the lowest risk.
The study concluded that climbers are an ecologically important ora distributed in all habitats of the district and the intensity
of threats was found to vary from species to species and also among the habitats of its distribution. Therefore, suitable
conservation measures need to be adopted preferably for the species and habitats which are comparatively facing more
threats.

being part of the latter ofcial sponsorship programs. Ambush marketing rst appeared during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic
Games and continued throughout the whole Olympic history, despite legal measures taken by event organizers and ofcial
sponsors so as to protect their exclusive rights and trademarks. Although the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has
introduced various regulations and enforcement mechanisms to deter non-ofcial sponsors from capitalizing on the Games'

Published: December 2023

Long Head of Biceps tendon (LHBT) tenodesis is a widely accepted modality that produces satisfactory
outcomes, low revision rates and low complication rates in the treatment of pathologies affecting the
LHBT[1,2]. The latter is recognized as a common source of shoulder pain and disability [1], often found in association with other
lesions in the shoulder. Arthroscopic LHBT tenodesis is therefore an appealing minimally invasive procedure that can be
combined with other arthroscopic interventions during the same sitting to address coexisting shoulder pathologies[3]. Various
techniques have been described and in the absence of an undisputed superior technique, we present, in this article, a novel
method of performing an all arthroscopic suprapectoral LHBT tenodesis with a double row repair maintaining its inherent
length-tension relationship. In this particular technique, two all-suture anchors are used to secure the tendon cinch sutures for
better apposition of the tendon over the bone bed. Performing the tenodesis prior to the tenotomy enables us to maintain the
native length of the LHBT, preserving the length-tension relationship. Furthermore, securing the proximal intra-articular
segment of the LHBT initially during diagnostic arthroscopy facilitates its retrieval after dividing the LHBT following the
tenodesis.

Introduction: The presence of supernumerary teeth is a relatively uncommon dental anomaly. It is even rarer to
encounter patients with distomolar teeth, commonly referred to as fourth molars. The occurrence of supernumerary
teeth is indeed an unusual dental anomaly, and it is a rarity for patients to have impacted fourth molars in all quadrants.
The gemination or fusion of maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth is even more infrequent. There are few reports of
gemination and fusion involving third or fourth molars. This article describes the clinical, Case Series Presentation:
radiological, and surgical approaches used to address the cases of nine patients who presented with maxillary and
mandibular fourth molars diagnosed via panoramic x-ray. Routine radiographic examinations revealed impacted lower
third molars in addition to the fourth molars. It was decided to extract the impacted teeth causing the patients'
complaints. The impacted third and fourth molars were extracted under local anesthesia. One of these extracted teeth
exhibited fusion, while the other exhibited gemination. This study aims to describe the fourth molar Aim: teeth found in
nine patients who visited our clinic due to pain and/or orthodontic discomfort, as well as the fusion and gemination of
these teeth, along with the surgical treatments administered. Accurate diagnosis can help prevent Conclusion:
postsurgical complications and streamline the endodontic, prosthodontic, periodontal, orthodontic, and clinical
management of such cases. Tooth extraction surgery was the chosen clinical procedure to address the impacted teeth.

The purpose of study was to find out the effects of low Intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training on explosive power of school kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty school kabaddi players in, Alagappa Fitness foundation, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu were selected as subject at random and their age group range between 13 to 15 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which thirty subject were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1(n=10, LI-PT) underwent low intensity plyometric Training. The experimental group-2 (n=10, LI- PT-AT) underwent low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG) did not undergo any specific training. In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variable, i.e., low intensity plyometric training, and low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training. The explosive power was selected as dependent variables, it was tested by vertical jump test. The selected two treatment groups were performed three days in a week for the period of eight weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The selected performance parameters were collected before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups with respect to each parameter. The scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups with respect to each parameter. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study. The results proved that the selected both training produce significant improvement on explosive power rather than the control group. However, plyometric training combined with aerobic training have produced greater improvement on explosive power than the plyometric training alone.

Background: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes covid-19 disease. The disease is a multisystem and mosaic disorder that demonstrates extra pulmonary manifestations involving liver and other organs. Elevated blood bilirubin levels have been associated with poor covid-19 disease outcome. However, discrepancies prevail in these findings. The study aimed to evaluate the association between serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels and clinical outcome of covid-19 infection. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. Data was obtained from medical records of patients admitted at Mount Kenya Hospital, Nyeri which was the designated county facility for diagnosis, treatment and management of covid -19 disease in Nyeri, Kenya. Data was obtained from patients’ files admitted between 01/04/2021-30/09/2021. Inclusion criteria: Positive covid -19 patients tested with real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test (rqRTPCR) and patients with serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels done at admission. Exclusion criteria: Positive rqRTPCR covid-19 patients with incomplete medical records, positive covid-19 patients tested using rapid antigen test, patients with comorbidities, and pregnant women. Categorization of liver injury based on bilirubin levels: severe liver injury >5× ULN, moderate liver injury 3–5x ULN and mild liver injury 1–2x ULN. Categorical data were presented as frequencies and the chi-square test was applied to test for associations. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There was no statistical significance between serum levels of total bilirubin (P=0.390), direct bilirubin (P=0.272) and covid-19 clinical outcome (survival or non-survival) and severity. Conclusion and Recommendations: Serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels has no significant association with covid-19 disease outcome and severity and thus are not reliable prognostic markers in our setting and in patients without preexisting comorbidities. The role of serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin in prognosis of covid-19 be studied further to evaluate more mechanistic explanation.

Most of the molecular targets are genes involved in carbohydrate and sugar metabolism. The jasmonic acid signaling regulation controls a range of plant developmental processes and responses to biotic and abiotic stressors; this regulation most likely involves the photosynthetic apparatus. Proteases and peptidases that are specialized to certain compartments, their number, location, and turnover, protein interactors, and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, nitrosylation, and carbonylation are among these activities. The adding pure natural components and plant extracts to food may help prevent botulism. Furthermore, given the lack of apparent pharmacological treatment, whole foods high in polyphenols and the bioactive substances contain have to be assessed for potential medical benefits. The food chain is seriously endangered by fusarium species and other fungal species that infect food, particularly grain. Mycotoxins' harmful effects on people are limited by the highest amounts that are allowed in food. Several nations have placed restrictions on the number of mycotoxins that can be found in food items.

Published: December 2023

Objective: (1) To identify and characterize bacterial isolates causing blood stream infection in children. (2) To determine the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of isolates obtained. Materials And Methods: Study design: Descriptive study. Study population: Blood samples collected from pediatric patients aged upto 12 years who are admitted in Government Medical College Kottayam, with clinical features of blood stream infection. Sampling methodology: The sample size of suspected blood stream infection is 345. All pediatric patients with clinical features suggestive of blood stream infection in the study period satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. The identification of bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done by conventional and automated methods like VITEK system. Results: Out of 345 study sample population, 46 were culture positive, of which 21(45.7%) were Gram negative isolates and 20(43.4%) were Gram positive. Major isolates obtained were Klebsiella spp (15%), Methicillin Resistant Coagulase negative Staphylococci (15%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (13%), Coagulase negative Staphylococci (8%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (8%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to most of the antibiotics tested except meropenem. All isolates of Coagulase negative Staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus were susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid. Conclusion: Gram negative organisms were predominant pathogens in blood stream infections. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Coagulase negative Staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus were the most commonly isolated pathogens. Amikacin along with the third generation cephalosporins should be used for empirical treatment of Gram negative sepsis. Vancomycin and linezolid can be used for Gram positive pathogens.
