Authors: Wu Huifen , Li Pengfei , Guan Jingying , Hong Jiaxuan
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To study the effects of Jade Wind-Barrier Powder on peripheral blood interferon-γ (INF-γ), immunoglobulin and sputum mucin in children with asthma.Methods: Sixty-six children with asthma in remission stage were randomly separated into study and control groups. The control group was treated with budesonide formoterol powder inhaler, while the study group was orally administered Jade Wind-Barrier Powder. The therapeutic effects, and INF-γ, immunoglobulin and mucin levels in sputum, as well as pulmonary function parameters in both groups were determined. The number of acute relapses of asthma and duration of wheezing were counted in the patients. The relative effectiveness of Jade Wind-Barrier Powder in the treatment of asthma in the children was also assessed.Results: The overall response rate (ORR) in the study group was 93.94 %, which was higher than in the control group (75.76 %, p < 0.05). Over the 6-month period of follow-up, the frequency of acute attacks of asthma in the study group was significantly lower while the duration of wheezing during attack was also shorter than in the control group. After treatment, pulmonary function indices in the study group were higher, whereas mucin 5AC (MUC5AC), mucin 5B (MUC5B) and mucin 1 (MUC1) levels in sputum were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Jade Wind-Barrier Powder exerts therapeutic effect in children with asthma. However, further clinical trials across multi-centers are required to validate it its use in clinical practice.

Authors: Rong Qiongwen , Chen Fenglei , Ma Yuanyuan , Cai Yi
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of intraarterial administration of tirofiban for stroke treatment beyond the conventional window period and evaluate its impact on prognosis.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on ninety (90) acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, Haikou, China from July 2021 to October 2022. The patients were divided into Tirofiban group (50) and non-Tirofiban group (40) based on whether the patients received arterial clopidogrel. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel index (BI) scores were used to evaluate adverse drug reactions and its impact on prognosis for patients with symptoms onset within 6 - 24 h.Results: No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of age, gender, medical history, personal history, blood indicators and neurologic function scores (p > 0.05). The median NIHSS score on admission and after 24 h of treatment was 4 in both groups and 3 in both groups after 72 h of treatment. However, after 7 days of treatment, the median NIHSS score was lower in Tirofiban group (2.0) than in non-Tirofiban group (2.5; p > 0.05). Tirofiban group demonstrated higher rates of effective treatment and good prognosis compared to non-Tirofiban group. Importantly, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions between the two groups (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Tirofiban, given via the arteries, improves neurological functions following hyper-acute stroke even beyond the window period and without adverse reactions. It is a safe and effective antiplatelet drug for late-life treatment. For future studies, it will be necessary to broaden the treatment scope and gather more robust and reliable data in order to enhance data quality.

Authors: Sun Biwen , Liu Jinghong , Ge Rongrong , Luo Changxiang , Zhang Chongyang
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To determine the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of camrelizumab when combined with radiotherapy in the management of advanced/metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on clinical information of 115 patients with advanced/metastatic ESCC admitted to Huai'an Cancer Hospital between February 2017 and January 2021. Based on therapeutic modality, patients were distributed into control group (CG, 55 cases, cisplatin + paclitaxel chemotherapy) and study group (SG, 60 cases, camrelizumab + radiotherapy regimen). Clinical efficacy, adverse effects, cost indicators (total cost of treatment, out-of-pocket costs, medical insurance cost), serum tumor marker levels (CEA, CYFRA21-1, SCC-Ag), immune function (IgA, IgG, IgM), and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results: The objective remission rate (ORR) in SG (80 %) was significantly higher than in CG (61.8 %) (p < 0.05). Serum levels of CEA, CYFRA21-1, SCC-Ag in both groups and symptom scores decreased, while serum IgA, IgG, IgM, function, and overall quality of life score increased, but the improvement was greater in SG after 6 weeks of treatment (p < 0.05). Study group had significantly higher out-of-pocket expenses, health insurance costs, total costs, and cost/effectiveness than CG (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Camrelizumab combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of advanced/metastatic ESCC is efficacious, improves immune function, reduces serum tumor marker levels, and prolongs the survival time of patients. Clinical studies using larger population should be carried out to validate the findings of this study.
Dostarlimab: Novel paradigm shift in cancer therapy
Authors: Alquraini Ali
Published: October 2023

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The rising global death from cancer requires novel approaches for treating various types of cancer. Numerous malignancies are now being treated more effectively by immunotherapy. Dostarlimab is an example of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that works by blocking the programmed cell death protein-1 receptor (PD-1). Dostarlimab has shifted the paradigm of treatment of cancer from using conventional therapies to a new, promising approach. This new approach increases the options of therapies and chances to achieve a higher response rate. Dostarlimab is a novel antibody, that prevents the binding of ligands to PD-1 on T-cells. Dostarlimab has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in the treatment of various cancers such as endometrial cancer, rectal cancer, and non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The cure rate with dostarlimab in some types of cancer, such as rectal cancer, is 100 %. This review presents a recent understanding of the use of dostarlimab in clinical trials and opens up the doors for clinicians and investigators about future possibilities of using dostarlimab either alone or combined with other anticancer medications to treat various cancers.
TGF-β promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of liver cancer Huh-7 cells by regulating MiR-182/CADM1
Authors: Wang An , Huang Yucheng , Yang Xiaoping
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism of liver cancer cell tolerance to the antiproliferative effect of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) based on miRNA levels.Methods: MiRNA microarray and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRTPCR) were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in liver cancer Huh-7 cells treated with TGF-β. The effect of these miRNAs on patient survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Plotter. Involvement of Smad2/Smad3 in TGF-β-induced miR-182 expression was determined using shRNA knockdown and qRT-PCR. Dose-dependent effect of TGF-β on miR-182 expression was investigated in Huh-7 cells and mouse primary liver cells using qRT-PCR. The effect of miR-182 on Huh-7 cell proliferation and apoptosis was studied using CFSE and Annexin V/PI assay. Direct targets of miR-182 in Huh-7 cells were identified using a luciferase reporter gene assay, while the influence of Recombinant Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (CADM1) overexpression on Huh-7 cell proliferation and apoptosis treated with miR-182 was examined using lentivirus experiments, and CFSE and Annexin V/PI assays.Results: The expression levels of hsa-miR-181a, hsa-miR-182, hsa-miR-483, and hsa-miR-143 were significantly higher in serum samples from liver cancer patients (p < 0.05). Survival analysis showed that low expression of hsa-miR-182 and high expression of hsa-miR-483 increased the survival rate of liver cancer patients. Furthermore, TGF-β increased miR-182 expression in Huh-7 cells, but not in mouse primary liver cancer cells. The MiR-182 promoted Huh-7 cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. It targeted CADM1 mRNA 3'-UTR, decreasing CADM1 expression. Overexpression of MiR-182 significantly reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in Huh-7 cells with CADM1 overexpression (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) facilitates the proliferation and repression of apoptosis of Huh-7 cells by increasing miR-182 expression and inhibiting CADMI expression.
Linarin attenuates oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain by inhibiting NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway
Authors: Zeng Siyu , Ling Chenming , Chen Hao , Wang Yu
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To assess the therapeutic effects of linarin on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CINP) in rats.Methods: A CINP rat model was established using oxaliplatin. The rats were divided into control, CINP, and two linarin treatment groups (20 mg/kg/day and 40 mg/kg/day). Observations were made at various time points, assessing weight gain, mechanical withdrawal thresholds, cold allodynia response, and thermal pain sensitivity. Additionally, the expression levels of various inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17), proteins related to glial and neuronal activation (IBA-1, GFAP, c-fos), and proteins linked to NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling (ASC, caspase-1, p65, and p-p65) were evaluated in rat spinal cord tissue.Results: Linarin treatment resulted in improved weight gain, mechanical threshold, decreased withdrawal response, and enhanced paw withdrawal latency (p < 0.001) compared to the CINP group. These improvements or mitigations were more pronounced in the 40 mg/kg/day linarin group. Linarin inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 (p < 0.001) but enhanced IL-10 expression (p < 0.001). The activation of microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, as indicated by IBA-1, GFAP, and c-fos (p < 0.001) proteins, was significantly reduced with linarin, especially at the higher dose. Linarin also suppressed the expression of ASC, caspase-1, p65, and p-p65 (p < 0.001) proteins, associated with the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.Conclusion: Our study indicates that linarin may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for managing CINP. The beneficial effects of linarin are likely mediated through its immunomodulatory effects and the inhibition of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in clinical settings.

Authors: Ke WenJie , Yu Chengwei , Liu Wei , Liu Haifeng
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To determine the underlying mechanisms of action of Astragalus membranaceus in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treatment.Methods: This study utilized network pharmacology analysis and STRING database to identify compound targets and visualize PPI network. Furthermore, an LDH model was induced in human nucleus pulposus cells using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and then the vital target genes were evaluated in this model treated with active components of Astragalus membranaceus.Results: Network pharmacology analysis indicates that several key proteins, including vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF A), AKT1, JUN, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) may play essential roles in LDH treated with Astragalus membranaceus. The active components in Astragalus membranaceus suppressed the production of IL-1β and IL-6, and increased the expressions of VEGF A, MMP9 and MMP2 in LPS-induced LDH model.Conclusion: The active components of Astragalus membranaceus effectively inhibits inflammation in LPS-induced LDH model, indicating that Astragalus membranaceus is a potential therapeutic candidate for LDH treatment.
Navigating Nollywood Filmmaking in Covid-19 Pandemic through New Technology
Authors: Ajiwe Uchechukwu Chimezie , Chukwu-Okoronkwo Samuel O.
Published: October 2023

Despite the challenges posed to film production by the lockdown during the pandemic and post-pandemic period, some filmmakers still  explored new technological media to express their creative ideas about the situation in which the nation and world were enmeshed. With  the need for continuity editing in the construction of visual narratives, it appears that the psychological effect of a narrative is dependent  on the mode in which it is constructed to represent the ideologies to be construed. This paper examines the communicative potentials of  shots in Obi Emelonye's Heart 2 Heart (2020) shot within the Pandemic era with the use of phones, coordinated and collated with the  zoom communication application before editing. It highlights the aggressive psychological and emotional impact of the pandemic as  x-rayed in the narrative anchoring on Kipendoff's and Urajav, Begum & Pavadai’s cognitive semiotic theories to explain the communicative impact of the film narrative and technical possibilities in this 21st century brought together through film. It is hoped that  the paper would provoke film scholars and filmmakers to explore new ideas in film and the need for more study on cognitive semiotics.
How Has the Traditional Anthropocentric Traits of Africans Influence Their Time Expressions?
Authors: Nnajiofor Osita
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to establish some salient anthropocentric traits that influence African existential expression of time. This paper arose due  to the preposterous claim that Africans are lousy, indifferent and terrible timekeepers. Many scholars have linked this indifference to  Mbiti’s claim that Africans have a limited idea of the future. I argued in this paper that in traditional African society, Africans were  good managers of time because they manipulated time to their advantage. I however observed that this uneasiness in time management  arrived with the missionaries and the colonialists. Hence, Africa’s inability to conceive their indigenous time and the  contemporary Western time at the same time gave rise to this crisis of time conception in Africa. Despite this crisis, I maintain that time is  like a language spoken differently and understood differently in each tradition. I conclude that to understand African time conception,  one has to understand their pre-colonial anthropocentric traits which inform their existential expression.
Textual Analysis of Acceptance and Declaration Speeches of Selected 2023 Presidential Candidates in Nigeria
Authors: Anyanwu Esther
Published: October 2023

Language remains a great asset to its users; its indispensability in politics is quite remarkable. This study examined how the English language has been utilized by 2023 presidential candidates in Nigeria. The researcher examined the acceptance and declaration speeches  of selected 2023 presidential candidates-Ahmed Tinubu of All Progressive Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP). The study was anchored on the theoretical framework of cohesion. However,  the approach adopted was a comparative study. The researcher compared how the three candidates used the English language in the  presentation of their acceptance and declaration speeches to find out the cohesive devices that were employed to assure the people that  their multifarious problems would be solved. The researcher identified the grammatical, lexical and clausal relations in consonance with  their functions/roles in the political speeches examined. The present research was deemed necessary as the researcher discovered that  nobody (as of the time of this study) has done a textual analysis of the acceptance speeches of these presidential candidates. It was  found that the three candidates used cohesive devices as their campaign tools. The researcher also found out that clausal relations  employed in the texts were internal procedures and interpretations which helped the speakers in achieving both registeral and generic   coherence.
Fictional Reality Environments in Child’s Learning: Evaluating Screen Institution in Harry Potter: The Sorcerer’s Stone and My Kids and I
Authors: Aniukwu Nkemakonam
Published: October 2023

The Nigerian youth’s restiveness and licentious acts have come under the purview of the public interest in recent times. Consequently,  the rise of ritual killings and other social vices amongst the younger generation in the country questions the teaching model and learning  environments designed to impart knowledge to Nigerian children. The objective of this study is to evaluate the aptitudes of  fantastical and realistic film environments in child’s learning and nurturing. The study, through the adoption of the content analysis  approach of qualitative research method, evaluated the impact of the fantasy genre and fictional reality film environments on children  and thus analysed. Harry Potter: The Sorcerer’s Stone (A British Fantasy Film) and My Kids and I (A Nigerian Fictional Reality Film). The study utilised Skolnick Weisberg's theory of Mise-en-place: Setting the Stage and Nkemakonam Aniukwu’s Screen Institution Postulation,  in examining the influence of fantastical and fictional reality film environments in child’s learning. The study discovered that some films  produced in the Nollywood film industry have the capacity of thwarting the child’s mind and this could lead to misconceptions of certain  principles and standards of the society and subsequently change his behaviour towards other members of the public. Parents should also  play a vital role in monitoring and curtailing what the children are watching on their screen interface.

Authors: Kozień Adam
Published: October 2023

„Pomimo istnienia opracowań na temat zarówno ochrony zabytków, jak i kar administracyjnych recenzowana monografia z pewnością zachowuje walor oryginalności. Dla czytelnika szczególnie cenne może być holistyczne opracowanie sytuacji prawnej właściciela zabytku z perspektywy potencjalnej odpowiedzialności za delikty administracyjne. Obejmuje ono bardzo zróżnicowany zakres zagadnień: od kwestii praw i wolności człowieka, poprzez obowiązki właścicieli zabytków i organów ochrony zabytków, aż po bardzo oryginalną, autorską koncepcję społecznej odpowiedzialności za dziedzictwo kulturowe. (…) Wywody zawarte w recenzowanej monografii stanowią ważny wkład do nauki prawa. Ich zastosowanie, także w innych kontekstach badawczych, może przyczynić się do wytworzenia nowych koncepcji teoretycznych w naukach prawnych, w zakresie prawa administracyjnego i postępowania administracyjnego. (…) Książka przeznaczona jest w szczególności dla pracowników wszystkich organów administracji publicznej zajmujących się prowadzeniem postępowań w sprawach nakładania administracyjnych kar pieniężnych. Będzie przydatna również dla profesjonalnych pełnomocników występujących w postępowaniach administracyjnych i sądowych oraz dla sędziów orzekających w przedmiocie kar pieniężnych za delikty administracyjne. Zainteresuje także uczestników magisterskich i doktoranckich studiów prawniczych i administracyjnych”. Z recenzji dr hab. Aldony Piotrowskiej, prof. UEK W monografii pt. Idea wolności jednostki – właściciela zabytku w Unii Europejskiej w kontekście modelu kar administracyjnych w prawie polskim poruszono problematykę relacji właściciela zabytku i jego praw wynikających z prawa własności w stosunku do ochrony zabytku będącego desygnatem dziedzictwa kulturowego. Celem badań naukowych było opracowanie spójnego modelu ochrony praw jednostki będącej właścicielem zabytku w Unii Europejskiej oraz Polsce na poziomie naukowym, jak również propozycji dla Unii Europejskiej oraz polskiego ustawodawcy także w zakresie systemu kar administracyjnych w prawie ochrony dziedzictwa kulturowego. W monografii dokonano analizy idei wolności z perspektywy reprezentatywnych i wybranych nurtów filozoficznych oraz wolności jednostki w demokratycznym państwie prawa, podjęto cywilistyczną problematykę prawa własności jako kluczowego elementu wolności jednostki, dokonano analizy ochrony zabytków jako podstawy ograniczania prawa własności, poruszono problematykę administracyjnych kar pieniężnych jako elementu ochrony zabytków wpływający na sytuację prawną i faktyczną właściciela zabytków, dokonano w przedmiotowym zakresie badań komparatystycznych prawa niemieckiego, austriackiego, francuskiego, włoskiego oraz maltańskiego, a także utworzono model relacji wolności jednostki – właściciela zabytku w kontekście ochrony zabytków w Unii Europejskiej z uwzględnieniem modelu kar administracyjnych o charakterze de lege ferenda.

Finding Cut-Offs in Leaderless Rendez-Vous Protocols is Easy
Authors: Balasubramanian A. R. , Esparza Javier , Raskin Mikhail
Published: October 2023

In rendez-vous protocols an arbitrarily large number of indistinguishable
finite-state agents interact in pairs. The cut-off problem asks if there exists
a number $B$ such that all initial configurations of the protocol with at least
$B$ agents in a given initial state can reach a final configuration with all
agents in a given final state. In a recent paper (Horn and Sangnier, CONCUR
2020), Horn and Sangnier proved that the cut-off problem is decidable (and at
least as hard as the Petri net reachability problem) for protocols with a
leader, and in EXPSPACE for leaderless protocols. Further, for the special
class of symmetric protocols they reduce these bounds to PSPACE and NP,
respectively. The problem of lowering these upper bounds or finding matching
lower bounds was left open. We show that the cut-off problem is P-complete for
leaderless protocols and in NC for leaderless symmetric protocols. Further, we
also consider a variant of the cut-off problem suggested in (Horn and Sangnier,
CONCUR 2020), which we call the bounded-loss cut-off problem and prove that
this problem is P-complete for leaderless protocols and NL-complete for
leaderless symmetric protocols. Finally, by reusing some of the techniques
applied for the analysis of leaderless protocols, we show that the cut-off
problem for symmetric protocols with a leader is NP-complete, thereby improving
upon all the elementary upper bounds of (Horn and Sangnier, CONCUR 2020).

La impactación de un órgano dentario es uno de los motivos estadísticamente más comunes en la práctica diaria y su resolución ortodóncica sigue siendo un reto para el Especialista, donde un canino ocupan el segundo lugar de los dientes impactados más frecuentes con una incidencia que oscila entre el 0,8% y el 5.9%, con una relación de 3:1 para la impactación palatina y vestibular y con una frecuencia 2 veces mayor en mujeres que en hombres. Se realizo una búsqueda en diversas bases de datos digitales como: Pubmed, SciencieDirect, Google Scholar, Scopus, Lilacs, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, Sage, ProQuest, y se restringió a artículos publicados desde el año 2018 hasta el 2023 sin límite de idiomas. Se aplicó la lista de verificación PRISMA, con la cual se obtuvieron y revisaron 30 artículos aptos para esta revisión. Finalmente, la literatura disponible revela que un diagnóstico preciso, una localización cuidadosa del canino impactado, una elección correcta del abordaje quirúrgico, una fijación estable y confiable del accesorio de ortodoncia, la dirección y magnitud correcta de la fuerza aplicada y un manejo conservador de los tejidos blandos conducen directamente al éxito del tratamiento.
Agricultural Waste Potential of Türkiye
Authors: SÖZER Salih
Published: October 2023

In Türkiye, agricultural activities are carried out on an area of 38482000 hectares. In Türkiye, where different climates are seen, animal husbandry is done intensively. Some of the animal and herbal products produced are consumed in the country and some are exported and consumed abroad. Many agricultural wastes are generated during animal and plant production activities. These wastes are fresh manures formed during animal production, wastes formed from grain and industrial plants during plant production, wastes formed during and after production in greenhouses, pruning wastes and wastes formed as a result of evisceration of hard-shelled fruits.

How the Game of Soccer can Foster Creative Research in Natural Sciences
Authors: Uskoković Vuk
Published: October 2023

The systems science approach based on exploration of analogies between distinct fields of inquiry can lead to the creation of new interdisciplinary branches of knowledge. In this essay, a series of such analogies between soccer and natural sciences is elaborated with the objective of recognizing the scientific elements intrinsic to the game of soccer and transcribing them to the creative practice of science. The sources of analogies are multifold, involving the tactical setups of the teamwork, the geometry and cybernetic principles governing the coordination of the players, the kinesthetic intelligence thereof and various psychological factors. The essay also intends to inspire the crafters of academic curricula to consider building courses around the intersections of a sport such as soccer and natural sciences so as to promote sportier and more spirited scientific communities. Along with the humanization of sciences via their cross-fertilization with soccer, the enlightenment of the latter profession may also result from this interdisciplinary marriage, so that the animalistic competitiveness in this sport gets suppressed and its artistic elements accentuated.
Keywords: Academic culture, analogical reasoning, art, association football, science.

There is a lack of reliable information regarding post-exercise rehydration behaviours, particularly with regards to beverage preference and encouragement. Using a random sampling technique, 661 participants from three groups (sports enthusiasts, athletes, and coaches) were chosen randomly to fill out a questionnaire on fluid intake following exercise. Pearson Correlation is used to examine the data and find the connection between exercise modality, frequency, and duration. The study indicated that mineral water, electrolyte drinks, and milk were the three most frequently consumed options for rehydration following exercise. For sports enthusiasts, taste and accessibility are the most important factors in purchasing a beverage, followed by personal preference about the advantages of the beverage's contents. The major aspect for athletes and coaches, however, is knowledge of the components' favorable benefits. In contrast to the majority of participants in this survey, who had reasons to emphasize accessibility, the majority of sports enthusiasts choose mineral water as their preferred beverage. Whilst, athletes and coaches who are aware of the influence that beverages have on performance tend to place a higher priority on the content's performance-enhancing capabilities.
Key words: Consumption behavior, Beverages, Physical Activity.

Salah satu penghematan yang bisa dilakukan oleh manajemen hotel adalah penghematan energi listrik. Penghematan energi listrik tidak hanya sekedar menghemat biaya pengeluaran, tetapi dapat mencegah krisis pasokan listrik dan membantu menyelamatkan bumi dari kerusakan akibat pemanasan global karena pemakaian energi listrik yang berlebihan. Langkah-langkah yang akan dilakukan adalah bagaimana menganalisa penerapan konsep green solar panel dalam upaya penerapan penghematan energi listrik pada industry perhotelan di Bali, khususnya di Bvlgari Hotel and Resort sebagai suatu studi kasus.Pembangkit listrik tenaga surya adalah pembangkit listrik yang memanfaatkan sumber tenaga dari sinar matahari. Pembangkit listrik PLTS menghasilkan arus searah (DC) dari energi sinar matahari yang kemudian dihubungkan ke inverter untuk mengubahnya menjadi arus bolakbalik (AC). PLTS memiliki kelebihan diantaranya ramah lingkungan, tidak menimbulkan kebisingan dan sumber energi dari cahaya matahari yang tidak akan habis. Salah satu teknologi tenaga surya Photovoltaic (PV) yang saat ini tengah dikembangkan yaitu PLTS atap. Sistem PLTS atap merupakan sistem Photovoltaic yang ukurannya lebih kecil daripada sistem PV yang dipasang di atas tanah. Dengan mempertimbangkan  pengukuran profil beban maka dapat ditentukan bahwa sistem PV dengan 319,41 kWp cocok untuk dipasang di lokasi penelitian yaitu Bvlgari Hotel and Resort Bali. Disamping pemasangan solar panel, salah satu cara yang dipakai untuk menurunkan konsumsi energi listrik yaitu dengan cara sosialisai prilaku hemat energi dan penggantian beberapa komponen yang bisa menurunkan konsumsi energi listrik.Dengan penerapan langkah-langkah penghematan energi listrik yang dilakukan di Bvlgari Hotel and Resort dapat diperoleh estimasi penghematan sebesar 11,45 % atau   Rp. 985,684,002.70 dalam setahun dengan perhitungan:  Rp. 8,608,593,910 – (Rp. 8,608,593,910*11,45%)                        = Rp. 985,684,002.70
