Industrial-Based GSM Water Leakage Detection, Monitoring and Controlling System: A case of North Rift Valley Water Agency in Kenya
Authors: Kipketer Dickson , Mduma Neema , Tarus John
Published: May 2024

The current system for detecting and monitoring water leaks in Kenyan industries is manual and costly. Despite emerging new technological trends, many industries lack automated systems to detect, monitor, and control water leakage due to the high cost of maintenance and installation. This study's objective was to develop an automatic, remote, and real-time detection, monitoring, and, control system for water leaks. The system is made up of two nodes, one at the source and one at the destination or tap. The two nodes are made up of an ESP microcontroller, which is used to control all the connected components. The use of the ESP 32 microcontroller was efficient due to its ability to provide WI-FI. Aside from the solenoid valve, which was used to turn the water flow on or off in the event of leaks, the system also includes the FY-201 water flow sensor, which was used to gauge the amount of water flowing through the pipe. Water leakage is detected when the volume of water passing through the two sensors differs in terms of volume, indicating that a water leakage has just occurred. Thing-Board, an IoT-based platform used to monitor and visualize data from various devices connected, was used for real-time monitoring, visualization, and control. The developed system was tested with different water service providers, and the results showed that the system responds positively to water leakage parameters with capability of monitoring water leakages in a real time.

Bile acids (BAs) are cholesterol-derived compounds that regulate glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism. Despite their significance in glucose homeostasis, the association between specific BA molecular species and their synthetic pathways with diabetes is unclear. Here, we used a recently validated, stable-isotope dilution, high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to quantify a panel of BAs in fasting plasma from 2,145 study participants and explored structural and genetic determinants of BAs linked to diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity. Multiple 12α-hydroxylated BAs were associated with diabetes (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] range, 1.3–1.9; P < 0.05 for all) and insulin resistance (aOR range, 1.3–2.2; P < 0.05 for all). Conversely, multiple 6α-hydroxylated BAs and isolithocholic acid (iso-LCA) were inversely associated with diabetes and obesity (aOR range, 0.3–0.9; P < 0.05 for all). Genome-wide association studies revealed multiple genome-wide significant loci linked with 9 of the 14 diabetes-associated BAs, including a locus for iso-LCA (rs11866815). Mendelian randomization analyses showed genetically elevated deoxycholic acid levels were causally associated with higher BMI, and iso-LCA levels were causally associated with reduced BMI and diabetes risk. In conclusion, comprehensive, large-scale, quantitative mass spectrometry and genetics analyses show circulating levels of multiple structurally specific BAs, especially DCA and iso-LCA, are clinically associated with and genetically linked to obesity and diabetes.

Authors: Ferrillo Martina , Migliario Mario , Curci Claudio , Renò Filippo , Giudice Amerigo , De Sire Alessandro
Published: May 2024

Objectives: This systematic review aimed at evaluating the reliability of dental maturation (DM) according to Demirjian method compared to hand and wrist maturation (HWM) to assess skeletal maturity (SM) in growing subjects, to identify the teeth and the corresponding mineralisation stages related to the pubertal growth spurt (PGS).
Materials and Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched until January 5th, 2024, to identify observational cross-sectional studies that assessed the reliability of Demirjian method compared to the HWM methods (i.e., Grave and Brown and Fishman) in growing subjects. The quality assessment was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist.
Results: Out of 136 papers suitable for title/abstract screening, 19 included studies. Of them, 17 papers showed the reliability of Demirjian DM method compared to HWM Fishman and Grave and Brown methods to assess SM in growing subjects. According to JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist, 12 papers were high-quality studies and 7 papers were medium-quality studies. 
Conclusions: The mandibular second molar might be considered as the best indicator compared to other teeth and that the peak of growth occurs no earlier than stage F in females and stage G in males according to Demirjian method. Also, the mandibular canine might be analysed as indicator of SM in males, and results suggest that the peak of growth occurs no earlier than maturation stage F according to Demirjian method, only in male subjects. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Authors: Huo Bei-Bei
Published: May 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of suture micromarsupialisation on ranula. 
Methods: This is a retrospective comparative clinical study, the clinical data of 106 patients with simple ranula admitted to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital between August 2022 and May 2023 were collected. The patients were divided into the research group (55 patients), who underwent suture micromarsupialisation, and control group (51 patients), who underwent ranula resections. The therapeutic methods were compared regarding cure rate, surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, 24-h postoperative pain score, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and recurrence rate. 
Results: The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (98.18% vs. 96.08%, χ2 = 2.116, p = 0.347). Intraoperative blood loss (4.35 ± 1.19 vs. 26.33 ± 3.19), surgery duration (6.33 ± 1.43 vs. 26.33 ± 3.19) and the postoperative visual analogue scale score (0.32 ± 0.03 vs. 3.81 ± 0.15) in the research group were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence rate of complications in the research group was lower than in the control group (7.27% vs. 25.49%, χ2 = 6.522, p = 0.011). The difference in the postoperative recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (3.63% vs. 9.80%, χ2 = 1.632, p = 0.201). 
Conclusions: Suture micromarsupialisation is a conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula. The cure rate of suture micromarsupialisation is similar to that of traditional surgery. It is recommended to use this technique as a first-line conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula, as it has the advantages of minimal invasion, simple operation, no pain, no need for haemostasis and no complications.

Effect of Crosslinking on the Properties of Membrane Formulated from Quaternized Chitosan
Authors: Shaari N.Z. Kassim
Published: May 2024

Heavy metals are easily absorbed by living things because of their high-water solubility. Adsorption is a popular separation technique that is used to remove heavy metals from water since it is inexpensive, widely available, and ecologically benign. Chitosan's structure includes hydroxyl and amino groups, which make it a popular adsorbent for heavy metals. In this study, quaternization was used to change chitosan and improve its adsorption capacity. As the quaternizing agent, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TMAB) was employed. After blending the quaternized chitosan with polyvinyl alcohol and polysulfone, a membrane was created, and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was used to crosslink it. Tetraethyl orthosilicate loadings of 1, 2, and 4 weight percent were added to the membrane formulation as a crosslinker. The surface morphology and surface charge of the prepared membranes were then described. Antifouling analysis and water permeation were used to test the performances. According to the results, membrane M4 with 4 weight percent TEOS exhibited the best characteristics, especially in terms of surface charge and surface morphology with strong antifouling capabilities. Furthermore, it has the highest water flux attributed to good surface hydrophilicity. The developed membranes may find application in the heavy metal removal phase of water treatment.
Experimental Analysis of Nanofluids in PEMFC Cooling Plate Integrated with Thermoelectric Generator
Authors: Zakaria I.A.
Published: May 2024

A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is considered a feasible option to recover waste heat from a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) into electrical energy. However, its application is limited due to its low efficiency. Meanwhile, nanofluids have emerged as an alternative coolant in heat transfer due to their superior thermal conductivity characteristics. Thus, this study aims to improve the efficiency of the TEG using nanofluids. The experimental study was conducted on a test bench that coupled a PEMFC cooling plate and TEG which was subjected to a 0.5% volume concentration of 𝐴𝑙2𝑂3∶𝑆𝑖𝑂2 hybrid nanofluids at a flow rate of Re 300 to 1000. The mixture ratio of 𝐴𝑙2𝑂3∶𝑆𝑖𝑂2 hybrid nanofluids studied was 10:90 ratio, single nanofluids of 𝐴𝑙2𝑂3 and 𝑆𝑖𝑂2 and also the base fluid of water. Upon completion, the improvement in power output due to an improved temperature difference of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) is observed. The highest TEG performance was shown by hybrid nanofluids of 10:90 (𝐴𝑙2𝑂3∶𝑆𝑖𝑂2) with a 17% improvement as compared to the base fluid of water. This is due to the bigger temperature difference which is caused by better thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluids as compared to the base fluid.

Authors: Tooley Zachary C. , Eaton J. Seth , Grant-Counard Sophia M. , Ilkenhans Shelby M. , Hetzel Scott J. , Bartholomew Kyle J.
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

To compare the efficacy of low-volume (5-mL) locoregional retrobulbar anesthesia (“retrobulbar block”) by use of 3 commercial local anesthetic formulations.

ANIMALS

8 healthy adult mares.

METHODS

A block-randomized, masked, controlled design was used. A single ultrasound-guided retrobulbar block was performed with 2% lidocaine, 2% mepivacaine, or 0.5% bupivacaine (n = 5 eyes/group). Contralateral eyes served as untreated controls. End points performed at baseline and time intervals up to 24 hours postblock included the following: assessment of neurophthalmic reflexes/responses, intraocular pressure, and vertical pupil diameter measurement, corneal and periocular esthesiometry, and observation for adverse effects.

RESULTS

Low-volume block did not result in increased intraocular pressure or other adverse effects at any time point in any treatment group. Statistically significant corneal anesthesia (P < .001) was observed 1 minute after block in all groups, persisting through 4 hours after lidocaine or mepivacaine block and through 24 hours after bupivacaine block. Clinically significant periocular anesthesia was not observed in any group. Significant vertical pupil diameter increase (P < .05) was observed for up to 4 hours after lidocaine or mepivacaine block and 6 hours after bupivacaine block.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Low-volume retrobulbar block with any of the 3 local anesthetic drugs evaluated was not associated with adverse effects. In terms of efficacy, mepivacaine block showed no clinical advantage over lidocaine block. However, bupivacaine block induced comparatively rapid and sustained corneal anesthesia. In comparison to published findings using a larger injection volume, low-volume retrobulbar block with lidocaine produced clinically comparable corneal anesthesia. However, periocular soft tissue anesthesia was not achieved with any local anesthetic drug at low volume.

Authors: Mediaty  , Habbe Abdul Hamid , Sundari Sri , Mas'ud Anis Anshari , Arifin Andi Harmoko
Published: May 2024

Objective: The behaviors of overreaction and underreaction exhibited by public sector budget planners have an impact on the disparity between the initial budget set at the beginning of a period and the actual budget realization at the end of the period. This study aims to examine how budget planners in Indonesia predict budgets for local governments, specifically whether there is a difference in the overreaction or underreaction behavior of public sector budget planners among districts and cities in the South Sulawesi Province of Indonesia.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study aims to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms of representativeness bias and the anchoring-adjustment heuristic, which may impact the behavior of individual budget planners in determining budget amounts for future periods and their reliance on past information.
 
Method: This research employs a quantitative approach with a causal and explanatory study design. In this study, the independent variable is the behavior of public sector budget builders, while the accuracy of their predictions for the future budget of the public sector constitutes the dependent variable. The quantitative approach was selected because it aligns with the research's objective of discerning potential misestimations in the behavior of budgeting teams when determining the budgetary allocations for the upcoming year in various patterns or conditions. The research's respondents are the budgeting teams from various districts and cities in the South Sulawesi Province. To test the research subjects, a heuristic of representativeness and anchoring-adjustment is followed when utilizing patterns of revenue realization from previous years (time series).
 
Results and Discussion: This study found that the average Uncertainty in Budget Planner Predictions for Local Governments in each district and city in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, is consistent and does not exhibit significant differences. This research is highly significant as it can provide a valuable contribution to public sector budget planners in Indonesia when establishing budget amounts for the forthcoming period.
 
Research Implications: This study seeks to contribute to advancing research in the realm of public sector budgeting in South Sulawesi, particularly by providing an overview of the occurrence of overreaction and underreaction behaviors among the planners of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) budgets in South Sulawesi Province.
 
Originality/Value: The novelty of this study lies in the empirical validation of the utilization of the concepts of representativeness and anchoring-adjustment in the behavior of public sector budget planners when determining the budget amounts for the upcoming period.

El teatro de títeres, desde la época medieval hasta nuestros días, se ha nutrido de las culturas populares de los pueblos de los que han surgido. Acogen sus personajes, sus costumbres, sus tradiciones; suelen integrar la sátira, la parodia, el escarnio y el vituperio, casi siempre, a partir de personajes públicos “indeseables” o de aquellos que mueven a la risa y a la carcajada. El teatro de títeres fue un fenómeno carnavalesco que, hasta el siglo XX, se llevó a cabo sobre todo en sitios y plazas públicas, a menudo por actores y artistas callejeros.
Analysis The Integration of The Criminal Justice System in Handling Corruption
Authors: Husin Nabilla Callosa
Published: May 2024

Corruption as a serious crime has detrimental effects on the state and society. One of the solutions to overcome corruption is by implementing an integrated criminal justice system that involves law enforcement agencies, such as the police, prosecutors and judges. Enforcement of the criminal justice system must be based on the KUHAP as the mouthpiece of the law for the Police and Prosecutor, meanwhile, the KPK is not only based on the KUHAP but also on Law Number 19 of 2019 jo. Law Number 30 of 2002 on The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The synergy that is expected in the context of overcoming criminal acts of corruption in the context of the criminal justice system turns out to still contain law enforcement problems in it, such as the substance of the law, overlapping authority, independence, weak coordination, human resources, and the lack of optimality of the special criminal justice system.

Published: May 2024

Penelitian tentang pengaruh esktrak daun binahong sebagai inhibitor korosi baja SS-304 telah dilakukan. Pada penelitian ini, lapisan tembaga dan inhibitor ekstrak daun binahong dilapisi pada permukaan baja menggunakan metode elektrodeposisi. Pelapisan baja dibagi dalam tiga kelompok berdasarkan lama elektrodeposisi yaitu 10 menit, 20 menit, dan 30 menit. Media korosif dibuat dengan melarutkan 14,2 g Na2SO4 ke dalam 100 mL aquades. Pengujian laju korosi sampel dilakukan selama 21 hari pada suhu ruang. Pengukuran laju korosi dilakukan dengan metode weight loss, sementara efisiensi inhibisi diperoleh dari selisih laju korosi tanpa inhibitor dan dengan inhibitor. Laju korosi yang paling rendah didapatkan pada penambahan konsentrasi inhibitor 3% dan lama elektrodeposisi 30 menit yaitu sebesar 0,291 mils per year (mpy) dan efisiensi inhibisi tertinggi diperoleh sebesar 89,20%. Karakterisasi untuk mengamati permukaan baja setelah elektrodeposisi dan perendaman dilakukan menggunakan mikroskop optik dan menganalisis fasa yang terbentuk menggunakan X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Semakin lama elektrodeposisi sampel maka inhibitor teradsorpsi lebih baik dan nilai laju korosi semakin kecil.

Coffee is a plantation crop that has high economic value among other plantation crops and plays an important role as a source of foreign exchange for the country. The decline and low productivity of coffee plants in coffee production centers in Solok City, West Sumatra is one of the causes of plant parasitic nematode attacks. This nematode attack causes disrupted plant growth and reduces the value of crop production both in quantity and quality. This study aims to determine the diversity and population density of parasitic nematodes in the rhizosphere of coffee plants in Solok City, West Sumatra. This research was conducted from March to July 2023 at the Laboratory of Biological Control, Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University. Soil samples were taken in two central areas of coffee plantations in Solok City, West Sumatra. In the rhizosphere of coffee plants in Solok City, four genera of parasitic nematodes were found, namely: the genera Pratylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Meloidogyne, Rotylenchulus, Paratylenchus, and Tylenchorhynchus. The highest frequency of presence of nematodes, namely the genus Rotylenchulus, was 50.99 belonging to the medium category in Jorong Kayu Aro, and 44.80 in the rare category in Jorong Kayu Jao.

Transformations of the family institution: from the pre-modern to the metamodern
Authors: Mukhamedzhanova Nuriya Mansurovna
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the stated topic is due to the modern socio-cultural situation. On the one hand, the family is the most important social institution, the state of which determines the well-being of society. On the other hand, the modern family is experiencing a crisis, which finds its expression in a decrease in fertility rates, a narrowing of family functions, a growing number of divorces, etc. The purpose of the work is to study the relationship of the family as a mechanism for ensuring the translation and reproduction of culture with the processes taking place in society. The problems of the family are considered in the context of modernization processes in the world – in the context of the transition from a traditional society to a modern one, from a pre-modern culture to a meta-modern one. The theoretical basis of the research is the works of Russian and Western authors exploring the problems of the family in a historical context. The interdisciplinary nature of the work determines the combination of socio-philosophical and cultural approaches to the problem of dynamics and possible prospects of the institution of the family. The paper examines the causes of family transformation, the consequences of the family crisis for the development of society and civilization, as well as possible options for the future of the family in connection with the changes taking place in the culture of the early 21st century. The author concludes that the fetishization of personal freedom and the spread of values of self-expression in postmodern culture contradicts the values of self-preservation of society as an integral, unique education. However, the crisis processes in the 21st century undermine the sense of existential security that was inherent in the postmodern era and caused the decline of traditional norms. In the culture of metamodernism, there is a turn towards transcendence and spirituality, which can become a turn towards traditional cultural values, including the family. And this, according to the author, is the positive significance of the modern socio-cultural crisis.
