Sahte Lüks Moda Ürünlerini Satın Alma NiyetineAhlaki Yargı ve Marka Dikkat Çekiciliğinin Etkileri(The Effects of Moral Judgment and Brand Conspicuousness on Purchase Intention of Counterfeit Luxury Fashion Goods)
Authors: Türkdemir Pınar
Published: September 2022

Amaç –Bu çalışma, tekstil ve moda pazarında lüks markaların ürünlerine karşı “değer-dışavurumcu” veya “sosyal-uyarlayıcı” tutumlara sahip müşterilerin sahte lüks moda ürünü satın alma niyetlerine ahlaki yargı ve marka dikkat çekiciliği algılarının aracılık etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Yöntem –Türkiye’deki sosyal medya kullanıcıları arasında kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan katılımcılara çevrimiçi bir anket uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler göre, değer-dışavurumcu veya sosyal-uyarlayıcı tutum sahibi olarak ayrılan müşterilerin sahte lüks moda ürünlerini satın alma niyetleri üzerinde ahlaki yargı ve marka dikkat çekiciliği algılarının aracılık etkileriyle ilgili 14 hipotez Proses Makro 4.0 kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular –Ölçeklerin yapılan keşfedici faktör analizi ve hesaplanan Cronbach’s Alfa katsayılarıyla yapı geçerliliklerinin ve güvenirliliklerinin oldukça yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Örneklemin (n=505) %30,7’sinin değer-dışavurumcu, %65,3’ünün de sosyal-uyarlayıcı tutum sahibi oldukları görülmüştür. Sosyal uyarlayıcı tutum sahiplerinin sahte lüks moda ürünlerini satın alma niyetlerinin değer-dışavurumcu tutum sahiplerinden daha çok yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda, değer-dışavurumcu tutumun ahlaki yargı üzerindeki etkisinin anlamlı olmaması ve ahlaki yargının sahte ürün satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinin anlamlı olması nedeniyle 2 hipotezin desteklenmediği, diğer değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin anlamlı olması nedeniyle 12 hipotezin desteklendiği görülmüştür. Tartışma –Ürün sahteciliği küresel ölçekte olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de ciddi bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. Özellikle, lüks moda markalarının ürünlerindeki yüksek fiyatlar ve marka dikkat çekiciliği gibi nedenlerle sahte lüks moda ürünü satın almanın daha az yadırgandığı bir zamanda sahteciliğin daha yükseleceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Tüketicilerin lüks moda ürünlerinin sahtelerini satın almayla ilgili motivasyonları arasında işlevsel tutumların da etkili olduğu ile ahlaki yargı ve marka dikkat çekiciliğinin görülmüştür.

Authors: Chia Hou Yi , Wu Jianzhao , Wang Xinzhi , Yan Wentao
Published: September 2022

The selection of appropriate process parameters is crucial in metal additive manufacturing (AM) as it directly influences the defect formation and microstructure of the printed part. Over the past decade, research efforts have been devoted to identifying "optimal" processing regimes for different materials to achieve defect-free manufacturing, which mostly involve costly trial-and-error experiments and computationally expensive mechanistic simulations. Hence, it is apropos to critically review the methods used to achieve the optimal process parameters in AM. This work seeks to provide a structured analysis of current methodologies and discuss systematic approaches toward general optimization work in AM and the process parameter optimization of new AM alloys. A brief review of process-induced defects due to process parameter selection is given and the current methods for identifying "optimal processing windows" are summarized. Research works are analyzed under a standard optimization framework, including the design of experiments and characterization, modelling and optimization algorithms. The research gaps that preclude multi-objective optimization in AM are identified and future directions toward optimization work in AM are discussed. With growing capabilities in AM, we should reconsider what the definition of the "optimal processing region".

Published: September 2022

Using XRF, TG-DTA, chemical and sedimentation analysis of the products of processing of magnetite quartzites from the N Ore Processing Plant of Krivorozhye, changes in the phase and chemical composition of samples of four stages of magnetic separation and tailings were traced compared to a sample of the raw ore, and the potential impact of the dispersion process on the environment was revealed. Thermogravimetric studies indicate phase transformations of magnetite to maghemite (250-340 ° C), polymorphic transformations of iron oxides and destruction of rock-forming minerals (430-480 ° C), conversion of alpha quartz to beta-form (564-568 ° C), dehydroxylation of iron and magnesium oxyhydroxides (385 ° C), conversion of beta-quartz to beta-cristobalite (970 ° C). In the process of enrichment, there is an increase in the loss of mass of the samples, which is %: 0.06 (I); 1.46 (II); 1.9 (III), and 2.6 (IV). According to X-ray diffraction, the main ore mineral is magnetite, the rock-forming mineral is quartz. Among the secondary minerals are sulfides, cummingtonite, actinolite, and others. It is shown that at the first stage of enrichment all primary and secondary minerals are present in the samples, at the 2nd stage sulfides disappear from the sample, at the 3rd stage secondary minerals disappear, and at the 4th stage quartz remains in the sample and it forms aggregates with magnetite. The parameter of the crystal lattice of magnetite varies between 8.397-8.403 nm, its coherent scattering region (CSR) is 31.4-35.6 nm. It is found that in the course of ore grinding the destruction of secondary minerals takes place with the removal of destruction products, as evidenced by the occurrence of disperse quartz in the tailings. According to sedimentation analysis data, in the first 20 seconds, more than half of the particles with a size of 24-28 μm were deposited from the pulp, after 3 minutes, particles with a size of 8-9 μm settled, after 6 minutes - particles with a size of 6-7 μm. Within 30 minutes, almost complete precipitation of particles with sizes of 4.5-2.7 μm was observed. Hydraulic classification of the tailings showed the deposition of mainly quartz particles in the first and second chambers of the separator, actinolite and muscovite particles were separated in the third chamber, and cummingtonite, biotite and chlorite in the fourth chamber. Analysis of the chemical composition of the dispersion products indicates that Si, Ca, and Na accumulate in the tailings, whereas Ti is removed, and could potentially enter the environment. It is shown that the tailings and separation products increase the content of Zn, and the tailings accumulate environmentally hazardous As, and Nb. At the same time, the concentrations of other elements remain stable at all stages of processing.
Love, Hope and Despair of Pregnant Women Living in the Slum of Sylhet City Corporation: A Study
Authors: Bhattacharjee Priyanka , Ahmed Samantha
Published: September 2022

Pregnancy is a joyous but stressful phase in every woman’s life as it takes a ten-month-long journey. Support and caring attitude from family members and others, along with regular ante-natal treatment during pregnancy, is essential for every woman because it will protect the health of the unborn baby and future mother. However, in Bangladesh, patriarchal social structure and cultural components bring unequal treatment for women even when they feel sick. So, this qualitative study was conducted to explore the experiences of pregnant women living in the slum area of Sylhet city corporation, Bangladesh. Data were collected purposively from pregnant women during gestational weeks 36–38 who came for treatment at the Urban Primary Health Care Service Delivery Center of Shimantik (NGO). Ten in-depth interviews were conducted through a semi-structured interview schedule, and then collected data were thematically analysed. Data were presented under four themes: role of husband and family members during pregnancy, challenging circumstances within and outside of the family, the reason for the adverse social concern arising and the strategies employed to deal with the hostile condition. This study recommends that there should be a professional counsellor in every maternity health clinic, especially for pregnant women, with whom they can share their personal grief and sufferings.
Environmental and Social Effects of Stone Quarrying in Bangladesh: A Study in the Khasi People Area in Sylhet
Authors: Hoque Mohammad Jahirul , Aktar Hajera
Published: September 2022

This study investigates how the unregulated and unscientific manner of stone quarrying in Bangladesh degrades the environment and affects the life and livelihoods of the local people. The recent countrywide construction boom and infrastructural development kept the GDP growth constant in Bangladesh. This construction boom generates colossal demand for stones, and the Sylhet region is its major supplier. Although there are laws and legal mechanisms to regulate stone quarrying in the country, the miners do not follow these. This study found that the local Khasi people of the stone quarrying area have been experiencing systematic and forcible dispossession due to merging their lands into stone quarrying sites. These people are the victims of different forms of pollution due to unregulated stone quarrying. And the area has been experiencing a social transformation because of the settling of the people of the mainstream Bengali community from the poverty porn areas of the country to sustain their life by managing their livelihoods by working in the stone quarries. The study also explores how the lack of monitoring and corruption of the state and non-state actors in the stone quarrying sectors degraded the environment and transformed society in the last decades.
Political Economy of Local Level Budgeting in Bangladesh: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Hasan Md. Mahmud , Ara Jobayda Gulshan
Published: September 2022

Accompanying the estimation of revenue and expenditure, the local level budget manifests a grassroots area's development plan for a defined period. In Bangladesh, the Union Parishad (UP), the lowest tier of local government, is obliged to prepare its annual budget by ensuring people's participation through various mechanisms and committees following the Local Government (Union Parishad) Act, 2009. With this background, the study explores the UPs' budgeting procedure to identify the influential actors and effectiveness of people's participation from political economy perspectives. Following the qualitative case study approach, this study was conducted on the four Union Parishads in Sylhet, Sunamganj, Cumilla and Narsingdi districts. It follows the in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion techniques to collect primary data from the UP chairman, members, Upazila Nirbahi Officers (UNO), and other members of various UP committees. The finding shows that mechanisms like Ward Committee (WC), Ward Shava (WS), Standing Committee (SC), Planning Committee (PC) and Social Mapping for ensuring people's participation are not working accordingly. In most cases, these committees are confined to the papers. In practice, the budgeting procedure is dominated by the politically and economically empowered groups, e.g. UP chairman and his allies, ruling party members, local elites and bureaucrats, which is hindering the socio-economic development at the grass-root level in Bangladesh.

News media and meteorological bulletins generally report on the ultraviolet index (UVI) to prevent overexposure to the sun. However, this information does not reflect the accumulated damage to the skin induced by the total amount of UVR (ultraviolet radiation) accumulated over time, known as erythemal dose (ED). This study analyzed the UVI and ED measured at ±30 and ±60 minutes around solar noon (SN) in Arica, North of Chile. The results show that SN ED exceeded the Minimum Erythema Dose (MED) for all the skin types. During the summer, shorts exposures to sunlight for up to 1 hour may result in sun exposure up to 10 times greater than the acceptable occupational safe limit for unprotected human skin.
Effect of Nano-Zirconia Addition on Mechanical Properties of Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer

Published: September 2022

Geopolymer is an emerging material alternative to Portland cement and has potential as a refractory material. Adding filler in geopolymer material is a strategy to increase the advantages of its physical and mechanical properties. It has been previously reported that adding nanoparticles can increase the compressive strength value, but there is no reported interaction between nanoparticles and geopolymer during the geopolymerization process. This study aims to study the effect of adding nano-zirconia fillers on the physical and mechanical changes of metakaolin-based geopolymers with nano-zirconia fillers. The geopolymer samples were made with 100 g of metakaolin as the base material and nano-zirconia in amounts of 2 gr, 5 gr, 10 gr, and 15 gr. Further characterization was carried out by XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX. This study showed that the compressive strength of the MZr05 sample increased significantly by 58.7% compared to the control sample. The test results of the structure and functional groups did not lead to any new compounds formed in the geopolymerization reaction. Therefore, the interaction of metakaolin geopolymer with nano-zirconia only creates an interfacial bonding.
The Wheat Aleurone Layer: Optimisation of Its Benefits and Application to Bakery Products
Authors: LEBERT Lucie , BUCHE François , SORIN Arnaud , AUSSENAC Thierry
Published: September 2022

The wheat aleurone layer is, according to millers, the main bran fraction. It is a source of nutritionally valuable compounds, such as dietary fibres, proteins, minerals and vitamins, that may exhibit health benefits. Despite these advantages, the aleurone layer is scarce on the market, probably due to issues related to its extraction. Many processes exist with some patents, but a choice must be made between the quality and quantity of the resulting product. Nonetheless, its potential has been studied mainly in bread and pasta. While the nutritional benefits of aleurone-rich flour addition to bread agree, opposite results have been obtained concerning its effects on end-product characteristics (namely loaf volume and sensory characteristics), thus ensuing different acceptability responses from consumers. However, the observed negative effects of aleurone-rich flour on bread dough could be reduced by subjecting it to pre- or post-extracting treatments meant to either reduce the particle size of the aleurone’s fibres or to change the conformation of its components.
Spatial Decision Support Systems with Automated Machine Learning: A Review
Authors: Wen Richard , Li Songnian
Published: September 2022

Many spatial decision support systems suffer from user adoption issues in practice due to lack of trust, technical expertise, and resources. Automated machine learning has recently allowed non-experts to explore and apply machine learning models in the industry without requiring abundant expert knowledge and resources. This paper reviews recent literature from 136 papers, and proposes a general framework for integrating spatial decision support systems with automated machine learning to lower major user adoption barriers. Challenges of data quality, model interpretability, and practical usefulness were discussed as general considerations for system implementation. Research opportunities related to spatially explicit models in AutoML, and resource-aware, collaborative/connected, and human-centered systems were also discussed to address these challenges. This paper argues that integrating spatial decision support systems with automated machine learning can not only encourage user adoption, but also mutually benefit research in both fields — bridging human-related and technical advancements for fostering future developments in spatial decision support systems and automated machine learning.
Studying the Water Supply System of the Roman Villa of Pisões (Beja, Portugal) Using Ground-Penetrating Radar and Geospatial Methods
Authors: Oliveira Rui Jorge , Trapero Fernández Pedro , Caldeira Bento , Borges José Fernando , Carneiro André
Published: September 2022

The Roman villa of Pisões (Beja, Portugal), was part of the Lusitanian colony of Pax Iulia. This place stands out for the predominance of the water element in several structures of the villa, highlighting the balneum and the large natatio, one of the largest known in Roman Hispania. The records of the initial excavations that took place since 1967 do not allow the establishment of clear functionalities of the villa. The University of Évora, owner of the site, conceived an action plan for the requalification and enhancement of the archaeological site. One of the tasks aims to investigate using Applied Geophysics. This work analyses the landscape directly related to the villa, given that it is in the flooded area of a river, with a Roman containment dam. It is uncertain whether the water supply comes from this structure or other nearby springs. The use of ground-penetrating radar, combined with unnamed aerial vehicles, all integrated in a geographic information system, allows us to know the location of underground water connections and create a topographic model with high resolution. Considering all the information, we propose a model for the water transport inside the villa and estimate the location of the water supply.
Biomimetic Approaches to “Transparent” Photovoltaics: Current and Future Applications
Authors: Pompilio Michele , Ierides Ioannis , Cacialli Franco
Published: September 2022

There has been a surge in the interest for (semi)transparent photovoltaics (sTPVs) in recent years, since the more traditional, opaque, devices are not ideally suited for a variety of innovative appli-cations spanning from smart and self-powered windows for buildings to those for vehicle inte-gration. Additional requirements for these photovoltaic applications are a high conversion effi-ciency (despite the necessary compromise to achieve a degree of transparency) and an aesthetical-ly pleasing design. One potential realm to explore in the attempt to meet such challenges is the bio-logical world, where evolution has led to highly efficient and fascinating light-management structures. In this mini-review, we explore some of the biomimetic approaches that can be used to improve both transparent and semitransparent photovoltaic cells, such as moth-eye inspired structures for improved performance and stability or tuneable, coloured, and semi-transparent devices inspired by beetles’ cuticles. Lastly, we will briefly discuss possible future developments for bio-inspired and potentially bio-compatible sTPVs.

The explosion of COVID-19 infection hit the world in 2020, which prompted the Japanese government to declare a state of emergency and require society to refrain from going outdoors and promote working from home. Although there was a lot of confusion on the side of employees and businesses at the beginning of the introduction of remote work, it gradually took root, there were differences depending on the industry. The introduction of remote work has overturned the common sense of Japanese companies that used to require employees to come to the office to work, and has improved the level of business continuity planning (BCP) measures. This can be said to be the result of changing the BCP measures and strategies, which immediately eliminated the bottlenecks in the priority operations group. It is interesting to note that the external pressure has led to a reconsideration of measures and strategies that had been assumed to be sufficient. This note focuses on cases where measures and strategies that were not selected as earthquake countermeasures were selected as countermeasures to COVID-19 and consequently led to the strengthening of earthquake countermeasures. This fact could be applied to further discuss the relationship between countermeasures and unavailable resources and discuss the need for a shared risk assessment model for multi-stakeholder BCP development such as Area Business Continuity Management (BCM) [1].

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused a major shake-up in the global tourism industry, causing people from all over the world to self-isolate and avoid travel. Indonesia is one of the largest archipelago countries in the world, consisting of five major islands and thousands of small islands, making it a prime global tourism destination. However, due to the pandemic, the tourism industry in the country has been deeply affected, and many of the tourism businesses in Indonesia have had to shut down. This article discusses the COVID-19 impact on tourism in Indonesia through a systematic review of research articles from the ScienceDirect database for 2019–2022. This study aims to explore the pandemic’s impact on various tourism industries throughout Indonesia and the recovery strategy of the affected areas. Accordingly, this study reviewed the literature on this issue, focusing on the post-recovery strategy for the tourism industry and the impact of COVID-19 on various branches of the tourism industry, such as the hotel, geoparks, and halal industries. Connecting the gap between policies and demographic characteristics is a crucial strategy for tourism recovery that can lay a foundation for future studies in similar fields.
Special Issue on NIED Frontier Research on Science and Technology for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience 2022
Authors: Hayashi Haruo , Kamiishi Isao
Published: September 2022

We are very pleased to publish this special issue, dedicated to NIED Frontier Research on Science and Technology for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience 2022. There are four papers, two reviews, and one note in this issue.

In the last year of the NIED’s fourth mid/long term plan period, which began in 2016, natural disasters have occurred every year, including earthquake disasters such as the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake (M7.3) and the 2018 Iburi, Hokkaido earthquake (M7.1). Rainfall disasters include the heavy rainfall in northern Kyushu in July 2017, southwestern Japan in July 2018, northern Kyushu in August 2019, Kanto and Tohoku in October 2019, and Kyushu in July 2020. In the summer of 2022, the heavy rainfall and extreme weather continued over Japan.

The first three papers and one note contain hazard and risk information. Dohi et al. present the development of Japan Tsunami Hazard Information Station (J-THIS), Cui et al. present a study of the estimation of damage based on analysis of SNS Information, Nakamura provides avalanche risk information, and Ise et al. note information linkage by the Shared Information Platform for Disaster Management (SIP4D). Horiuchi et al. review the contribution of the E-Defence shaking table. This special issue also includes two social science works. Nagata et al. present tsunami disaster risk reduction education programs, and Yamazaki-Honda reviews promoting coherence among disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and sustainable development for disaster resilience.

In the first half of the 21st century, a mega disaster such as the Nankai Trough earthquake is expected to occur. Extreme climatic events are also becoming more frequent: typhoons, floods, heavy rains and snows, landslides, and heat waves. We hope this issue provides information useful to all readers who study natural disasters.

To promote effective disaster countermeasures against possible tsunamis in the future, an effective application of tsunami hazard information is important. However, there were insufficient systems available for utilizing and applying various tsunami hazard information. Based on this situation, we developed and have been improving the Japan Tsunami Hazard Information Station (J-THIS), an open Web system available as a public portal for providing tsunami hazard information based on the probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA). It provides tsunami hazard information through the following services: map services, data download services, and Web application programming interface (API) services. Based on the PTHA along the Nankai Trough, the J-THIS provides distributions of exceedance probability of tsunami heights for 30 years, tsunami hazard curves, earthquake fault models, tsunami heights for each earthquake fault model, and bathymetric charts. To illustrate the use of the J-THIS, understanding how existing coastal structures will protect us against tsunamis while enabling the local governments to set investment priorities in disaster risk reduction and resilience is key.

The weak layer of snow formed by snowfall during cyclone passage generates surface avalanches. This type of avalanche can cause significant problems for humans, traffic, and logistics. Visualizing the level of hazard of these surface avalanches can help minimize the damage they cause. The topographic, snow pit, and meteorological characteristics of two surface avalanches caused by snowfall from a cyclone were analyzed. An algorithm for estimating the risk of surface avalanches caused by snowfall in a typical winter monsoon and during a cyclone was developed based on the analysis results. By incorporating the results of our previous study into the algorithm for estimating the risk of surface avalanches due to snowfall from a cyclone, we were able to improve the avalanche potential estimation algorithm such that it can cover surface avalanches generated by snowfall following the typical winter monsoon pattern after a cyclone has passed. In the three cases we verified, a warning was issued because the threshold of danger was exceeded before the surface avalanche occurred.

In this study, we developed a tsunami disaster risk reduction (DRR) education program for children with little or no memory/experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The objective was to strengthen their disaster response capacity and enable them to think and act to protect their lives from tsunami disasters. The development of this program employed the ADDIE model of Instructional Design in learning theory. Based on the GIGA school concept promoted by Japan, information and communications technology (ICT)-based education and DRR education were integrated into the program from a geographical perspective. Using the ICT-based teaching materials, YOU@RISK Tsunami Disaster Edition, empirical learning was introduced. The town of Shichigahama in Miyagi Prefecture, which was devastated by the tsunami during the Great East Japan Earthquake, was selected as the study target. The study implemented and verified the program with local elementary school students to assess its effectiveness.

Post-2015 global agendas; namely the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, the Paris Agreement, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (including Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)), pose a challenge to the coherence among Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and Sustainable Development to achieve the common goal; disaster resilience. These agendas are more outcome-oriented with monitoring mechanisms than previous ones and require a coherent multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral approach across government levels. Above all, the global indicators for monitoring the Sendai Framework have been adopted as SDG indicators in Goals 1, 11, and 13. Interlinkages between DRR, climate change, and sustainable development are observed from the integrated monitoring of agendas, which enhances coordination and coherence. Disaggregated data have revealed that major disaster mortality and economic losses in recent years have been triggered by weather-, climate-, and water-related disasters. More detailed data support evidence-based policymaking and promote coherence. To achieve Target E of the Sendai Framework, countries are developing DRR strategies to promote policy coherence with sustainable development and climate change. Both the number of national DRR strategies and alignment scores have increased over the years. DRR strategies and national adaptation plans (NAPs) should adopt a risk-informed, integrated approach to sustainable development through comprehensive planning and implementation. To achieve disaster resilience, national plans in these domains should be better integrated to maximize the effectiveness of actions toward disaster resilience and passed on to the sub-national level for implementation as place-based policies. Japanese experiences toward disaster resilience highlight interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approaches by various stakeholders with technological innovation, which presents promising progress.
Development of a Scale for Disaster-Prevention Consciousness – Structure of Disaster-Prevention Consciousness of Those Who Lack Expertise in Disaster Prevention

Despite the necessity of improving disaster-prevention consciousness, there are no studies on the definition of disaster-prevention consciousness. Several scales have been developed for the measurement of disaster-prevention consciousness, but some problems are recognized. For example, such scale measures do not consider disaster-prevention consciousness but the knowledge and behavior related to disaster prevention. For this problem, Ozeki et al. specify the operational definition of disaster-prevention consciousness and propose the model of disaster-prevention consciousness based on an interview survey of experts [1]. In this study, the question items are formulated from the concepts extracted based on the results of Ozeki et al., and factor analysis is conducted not by targeting the particular region and attribute, but by using the answers from the monitors of an internet survey company. As a result, 5 factors are extracted, namely “imagination of damage situation,” “sense of crisis to current measures against disaster,” “other-directedness,” “anxiety,” and “indifference to disaster prevention.” These factors are correlated with each scaled score in the previous studies. There remain some problems; however, the first step has been taken for the development of a new scale for disaster-prevention consciousness which ordinary citizens could use regardless of the kind of disaster.

Published: September 2022

Body impedance analysis (BIA) is used to evaluate the human body composition by measuring the resistance and reactance of human tissues with a high-frequency, low-intensity electric current. Nonetheless, the estimation of the body composition is influenced by many factors: body status, environmental conditions, instrumentation, and measurement procedure. This work studies the effect of the connection cables, conductive electrodes, adhesive gel, and BIA device characteristics on the measurement uncertainty. Tests were initially performed on electric circuits with passive elements and on a jelly phantom simulating the body characteristics. Results showed that the cables mainly contribute to increase the error on the resistance measurement, while the electrodes and the adhesive introduce a negligible disturbance on the measurement chain. This paper also proposes a calibration procedure based on a multivariate linear regression to compensate for the systematic error effect of BIA devices.

Lead exposure that occurs from contamination inadvertently brought home from a workplace is known as take-home exposure. Take-home exposures are a public health hazard that adversely affects health equity for families and communities. This article describes coordinated action by agencies in Minnesota to curb lead exposure among children of workers at a facility that produces fishing sinkers and battery terminals.

Detecting New Sources of Childhood Environmental Lead Exposure Using a Statistical Surveillance System, 2015–2019
Authors: Romer Present Paul S. , Berg Kevin , Snow Megan , Richardson Kristy
Published: September 2022

Objectives. To design and implement a statistical surveillance system to prospectively identify potential clusters of elevated blood lead levels (EBLLs) in children younger than 6 years in the Denver, Colorado, metro area.

Methods. We evaluated the ability of 2 independent statistical surveillance methods to detect synthetic clusters of EBLLs in Denver between 2015 and 2019.

Results. Together, the statistical surveillance methods took an average of 9 months to detect the synthetic clusters. This is faster than similar real-world clusters that have been reported in the past. The system was relatively unaffected by changes in the testing rate and to the blood lead reference value.

Conclusions. The adequate design of a statistical surveillance system can help increase the rate at which clusters of EBLLs are detected in Denver, but doing so requires an accurate model of the spatial distribution of EBLLs. Earlier detection of clusters can help guide more effective public health interventions at the local level. (Am J Public Health. 2022;112(S7):S715–S722. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307009 )

Published: September 2022

The lathe process is a machining process that is most widely used and is very commonly used in an industrial field. During the turning process, the lathe will cut the workpiece with the main movement being rotating so that the workpiece can be slowly reduced in diameter. There are several parameters in the turning process such as feed rate, cutting speed and cutting depth. Parameter optimization in the cutting process is very necessary in order to reduce the cutting force during the machining process. If the cutting force is high, it can cause the tool ability to be reduced. In this study using three turning parameters, namely spindle rotation rate, feeding depth, and feed or chisel distance in 1 rotation of the workpiece. This can be seen from the simulation results, the results of simulation-2 and simulation-4 with a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rad with two other different parameters, the value of the depth of tool wear is 0.00487 and 0.00410 mm, then in simulation-1 and simulation -3 with the same feed rate value of 0.2 mm/rad and with two other different parameters, the depth of tool wear is 0.0117 and 0.00932 mm, respectively. With these results, it can be seen that the feed rate has quite an effect on the depth of tool wear during the turning process. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the variation of the parameters that are simulated in the turning process can affect the condition of the tool blade used. When running the machining process with inappropriate parameters, it will cause tool failure or tool blade damage. Therefore, the lathe parameters must be considered.

Infusion is an important part of the process of care and healing of patients who are in the hospital, however, the errors often occur in setting the drip or replacing the infusion that has run out, this can cause the patient to die. From these problems, the researcher has an idea by creating a system that can monitor and control the infusion, so that later it can give warnings to nurses based on Telegram. Several sensors are used for the designed system, including load cell, load cell sends data on the weight of infusion fluids to Arduino, then Arduino sends weight information to Telegram to be monitored, infusion drip control system is carried out using servo and optocoupler sensors. From the tests carried out, the servo and optocoupler systems can adjust the infusion drops according to the patient's needs based on orders from the telegram, with an average error of 1.3%, and the system can provide information to the telegram to identify that the infusion fluid is almost empty. From this study, it is expected that the system can assist nurses in monitoring the availability of infusion fluids in patients and can control infusion drops based on patient needs.
The Adsorption of Iron (Fe) in Dyeing and Washing Waste of Jumputan Fabric Using Active Carbon from Tea Grounds
Authors: Fernianti Dewi , Yuliwati Erna , Nuri Nuri
Published: September 2022

The iron (Fe) contained in the waste dyeing process and the washing process of the jumputan fabric weaving industry is relatively high; this can cause water pollution in the waters around the jumputan fabric weaving industry if the iron content is not adsorbed. One of the methods used to decrease iron content (FE) is adsorption. The adsorbent used for this iron adsorption (Fe) process is activated carbon made from black tea grounds. Before adsorbing iron, making activated carbon from black tea grounds is carried out first, namely by carbonating the tea grounds at the temperature of 500oC for 20 minutes, then using a 4% NaOH solution for 24 hours. The quality results of activated carbon from black tea grounds produced are 19,1635% of volatile matter, 9,1465% of water content, 2,0911% of ash content, 69,5989% of pure activated carbon, and 0.2664 mg/L adsorptions of methyl blue, and these characteristics meet the quality standard of SNI no.06-3730-1995. Activated carbon that is produced and has filled the quality standards is then used to absorb iron (Fe) content in the dyeing and washing process waste of the jumputan weaving industry. The adsorption carried out the process for 72 hours with adsorbent mass variables of 1 g, 2 g, 4 g, 8 g, and 10 g. Then the levels of iron (Fe) were analyzed using AAS. The best condition for adsorption of iron content in the waste dyeing process of jumputan fabric was obtained at a mass of 10 g of adsorbent was 32.437 mg/L with an adsorption efficiency of 99.68%, the same condition for adsorption of iron content in washing waste that was equal to 9.998 mg/L with an adsorption efficiency of 99.68%.
