Aim: Obesity and co-existing metabolic comorbidities are associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality risks, generally clustered to risk factors such as dyslipidemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile changes in subjects with severe obesity undergoing different procedures of bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in a real-world, clinical setting. Methods: A single-center, retrospective, observational clinical study was performed enrolling patients undergoing BMS. The primary outcome was the change in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Results: In total, 123 patients were enrolled (males 25.2% and females 74.8%) with a mean age of 48.2 ± 7.9 years and a mean BMI of 47.0 ± 9.1 kg/m2. All patients were evaluated until 16.9 ± 8.1 months after surgery. Total and HDL cholesterol did not change after surgery, while a significant reduction in triglyceride levels was recorded. Moreover, a rapid decline of both LDL and non-HDL cholesterol among follow-up visits was observed. In particular, significant inverse correlations were found between total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides and the number of months elapsed after bariatric surgery. Similarly, a direct correlation was found considering HDL cholesterol. Moreover, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides significantly changed among visits after RYGB, while no changes were observed in the SG group. Finally, considering lipid-lowering therapies, the improvement in lipid asset was detected only in non-treated patients. Conclusion: This study corroborates the knowledge of the improvement in lipid profile with BMS in clinical practice. Together with sustained weight loss, the BMS approach efficiently corrects dyslipidemia, contributing to decreasing the CV risk.

Published: September 2022

An increase in the intensity of diffusion-controlled processes during granulation is provided by apparatuses with non-homogeneous fluidization, the hydrodynamics of which significantly depends on the structural features of the granulator chamber and the gas distributing device (GDD). The main problem is the formation of stagnant zones on the working surface of GDD, which, when supplying a coolant with temperature that exceeds the melting point of granules, leads to the melting of solids and the termination of the process.

In this work, the simulation of hydrodynamics in the granulator chamber was carried out using SolidWorks 2022 SP2 for 4 types of gas distribution devices (GDD) of different configurations with different values ​​of the cross-section coefficient of GDD.

The analysis of the simulation results shows that the most significant influence on the hydrodynamic activity index near the surface of GDD iha has the cross-section coefficient of GDD φ, since even an insignificant increase in the value of φ from 3.0 to 3.5% leads to a significant decrease in the hydrodynamic activity index iha by at least 1.4 times for all considered types of GDD. The simulation of hydrodynamics was carried out without taking into account the presence of solid granular material in the granulator chamber and near the surface of GDD plate.
Spatial Changes In The Rantau Ulayat Area Case Study Tarok Nagari Kepala Hilalang

Published: September 2022

The spatial changes of a traditional area, especially at Tarok Nagari, Kepala Hilalang, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra, which is called rantau, found problems related to differences in the definition of the area, boundaries, location settings, and development of patterns that were formed far from the control of the Mamak Pusako (the head of a tribe) to collective inheritance. With the changes in spatial planning that occur, it is necessary to study spatial changes to optimize the potential for spatial planning, especially in traditional areas that are hereditary. The method used is a normative approach to customary inheritance through qualitative and quantitative analysis for mapping inheritance patterns with behavior-mapping techniques. Strengthening data from informants regarding the description of regional development is carried out with the support of Design Guidance Structure theory, land use triangle theory, regulations, and related literature. Space syntax theory is used to analyze patterns that occur before the study is carried out. Temporal data based on the period before and after the land inheritance process were obtained through interviews with indigenous peoples' leaders and resource persons as well as literature studies on related Tanah Adat. The research results on inheritance land spatial planning based on the customary law approach (ulayat) provide ambiguity in the spatial and setting arrangements. Meanwhile, the Space Syntax theoretical approach shows the existence of a network from the development of functions and the potential for access. Where Mamak Pusako cannot see this process, it raises the issue of lack of spatial control and development.
Sustainable Development Goals and Social Service Programs in Bangladesh: An Analysis
Authors: Paul Krittebas
Published: September 2022

Inspired by the success of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), like other member states of the United Nations (UN), Bangladesh has committed to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 for eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity. As the Ministry of Social Welfare (MoSW) in Bangladesh is mandated to render social services to the country’s people, the ministry identifies its relevance to the SDGs and tries to connect programs to achieve the respective Goals. This study aims to analyse how social service programs are relevant to achieving the SDGs and the problems and challenges faced while implementing the Goals. The study collects data from secondary sources, including journal articles, government reports, reports of national and international organisations, etc., and is based on qualitative content analysis. The study deploys thematic analysis to analyse the data. The findings suggest that though social service programs are linked to the Goals and targets of the SDGs, the programs are not appropriately designed in line with the SDGs. The programs also encounter many challenges, such as identifying beneficiaries, inadequate funds, limited coverage, leakage of funds, etc. Even the nature of the services remains unchanged since the SDGs were adopted. For example, the MoSW identifies itself as the leading ministry to achieve Goal 5, but they are implementing programs designed and adopted long before the SDGs. The study emphasises designing programs focusing on the targets of the SDGs by including social service experts, as well as graduate social workers. It is expected that the study results will help policymakers and social service agencies introduce or redesign social service programs consistent with Agenda 2030.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) has been widely used to determine the pathogenesis of the disease and evaluate new treatment strategies for MS. Therefore, we investigated the efficacy of oral administration of a Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) in the treatment of EAE. Female C57BL/6 mice were utilized in three groups (Control group: received PBS orally; prevention group: oral administration of MOG35-55 two weeks before EAE induction; treatment group: oral administration of MOG35-55 after EAE induction. MOG administration, both as prevention and treatment, significantly controlled clinical score, weight loss, CNS inflammation, and demyelination, mainly through the modulation of T cell proliferation, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and transcription factors, including TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-17, T-bet, and ROR-γt. MOG administration, both as prevention and treatment, also induced anti-inflammatory cytokines and transcription factors, including IL-4, TGF-β, GATA-3, and Foxp3. The results showed that oral administration of MOG, both as prevention and treatment, could efficiently control EAE development. Immunomodulatory mechanisms include the induction of Th2 and Treg cells and the suppression of pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 cells.
Special Issue on SATREPS Area-BCM Part 2
Authors: Watanabe Kenji , Leelawat Natt
Published: September 2022

This special issue includes works related to the ongoing project “Regional Resilience Enhancement through Establishment of Area-BCM at Industry Complexes in Thailand.” This special issue can be considered evidence that the research and development of this project follows and supports the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Let’s imagine we are taking a tour of Area-Business Continuity Management (Area-BCM) and SDGs together.

As a starter, the baseline concept of our Area-BCM is discussed (Kodaka et al.) followed by the papers focusing on the specific SDGs.

Toward SDG Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities

We can start the tour with this goal, as it is the project’s primary focus. In order to have sustainable cities and communities, the concept of Area-BCM can be considered. Related to it, there is a study that reviews and suggests the critical success factors (Meechang and Watanabe). Moreover, we can see the possibility of extending the concept of business continuity to other service sectors, such as tourism during COVID-19 (Yudha et al.).

Toward SDG Goal 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth

Let’s move to the next goal. There is a study exploring the well-being of working people and its likelihood among the local people in the community (Duangkaew et al.). People can be considered human resources in the Area-BCM. Accordingly, learning how people fared during a disaster allows us to design the suitable Area-BCM strategies for organizations. With sustainable employment aspects, inundation model for industrial park-scale is proposed for decision making regarding business continuity (Kakinuma et al.). And a practical model for shared risk assessment within multi-stakeholder is discussed for decision as a community (Ono).

Toward SDG Goal 13 Climate Action

Regarding the third goal, it is necessary to know the outcome of hazard analysis for us to understand the risks. Thus, an approach to flood hazard mapping using the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation model is presented (Sriariyawat et al.). Through various techniques, flood inundation models are developed. Furthermore, detailed flood inundation model with different return period is proposed for more flexible and feasible decision making (P. C. et al.).

There is still on a way to go. Nevertheless, we hope that these current findings will guide the future research and development of Area-BCM.

To carry out natural disaster response, restoration, and reconstruction, it is important to efficiently and quickly assess the damage caused by the natural disaster. The existing evidence demonstrates that when a natural disaster occurs, social networking services (SNS) information is amplified significantly, compared to normal times. Specifically, the damage caused by a natural disaster tends to cover a wide area and have a large scale. Additionally, it may vary considerably depending on the municipality. Thus, this study investigates whether the utilization of this amplified SNS information can offer an effective approach for real-time evaluation and monitoring of the damage caused by a natural disaster in municipal units. To this end, focusing on time-series changes in SNS information, we propose a general-purpose analysis method of SNS information for evaluating the damage caused by a natural disaster in real time in municipal units. Using real-world data twitter data, we investigate the case of Kumamoto Prefecture, which experienced heavy rain in July 2020 and July 2021, to verify the proposed analysis method.

Published: September 2022

This paper introduces a system designed to support conducting experiments of subjects when the situation does not allow experimenter and subject to be in the same place such as the COVID19 pandemic where everyone relied on video conference applications which has its limitation. Due to the difficulty of directing with a video conferencing system using solely video and voice.

The system we developed allows an experimenter to actively watch and interact with the subject. Even if you're operating from a distant area, it is still possible to conduct experiments. Another important aspect this study will focus on is the case of when there are several subjects required and the experimenter must be able to guide both subjects equally well. The system proposed uses a 6 DoF robotic arm with a camera and a laser pointer attached to it on the subject side. The experimenter uses a head-mounted display to control it and it moves corresponding to the head movement allowing for easy instruction and intervention to the subject side. Comparison with other similar research is also covered. The study will focus mainly on which viewing method is the easiest for the experimenter to use, and if teaching one subject at the time gives better results than teaching two subjects simultaneously.

Authors: Zobayed Irfan , Miles Drew , Tadesse Yonas
Published: September 2022

Various wearable robotic hands, prosthetic hands, and orthotic exoskeletons developed in the last decade aim to rehabilitate patients whose daily quality of life is affected from hand impairments – however, a majority of these devices are controlled by bulky, expensive, noisy, and uncomfortable actuators. Twisted and coiled polymer (TCP) muscles are novel smart actuators that address these key drawbacks. They have been utilized in soft robotics, hand orthosis exoskeletons, and powered hand orthotic devices; they are also light- weight, high-performance, and inexpensive to manufacture. Previously, TCP muscles have been controlled via power supplies with mechanical switches that are not portable, hence making it unfeasible for long term applications. In this work, a portable control system for TCP muscles via electromyography (EMG) signals that are captured through electrodes placed on the arm of the user and processed through a channel of electrical components to actuate 4-ply TCP muscles, which is demonstrated on a 3D-Printed soft orthotic hand. With portable EMG control, orthotic devices can become more independently accessible to the user, making these devices novel instruments for measuring, aiding, and expediting the progress of hand impairment rehabilitation.

Education is undoubtedly one of the most important elements for the development levels of countries and societies. It is also one of the essential requirements in today's world. Education is a key element of an individual’s initial and later social development, therefore development across countries. Today, in most developed countries, the state spends a large amount of fund for education. Households, as well as governments, spend a lot on education. In this study, the expenses for the education of households in Turkey were discussed, and the effect of socio-demographic and economic factors on these expenditures was examined. For this purpose, the data set obtained from the 2019 Household Budget Survey published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) was analyzed with the Heckman sample selection model. According to the analysis results, the fact that the head of the household is male in a family, his age, and being married had a negative effect on education expenditures. Education expenses were positively affected by household income, population, the number of technological devices, and the employment of the head of the family. In addition, the structure of the household, the presence of individuals who smoke, go to the cinema, and do sports also affected household education expenditures.

. A good facility layout will affect sustaining the smoothness of the production process. initial observation on a current CV. NTY is still not good to apply because it does not take into account the degree of proximity. This can be seen from machine laying as well as workstations that look distanced as well as the flow of intersecting material resulting in backtrackings, such as the blowing department towards the cutting department its material removal distance of 23.2 m and having to go through the packing department and plong department with too much distance and intersect caused the production time to become longer. The methods that production facility layout design uses on the CV. NTY is Systematic Layout Planning and Blocplan methods. This method was chosen because it conforms to the company's characteristics and can minimize the distance between production stations as well as no more intersecting production process flow. This study was conducted to find out and obtain improved material distance efficiency in handling the preliminary layout with the proposed layout. The results of the study show the blocplan method has a total decrease in the displacement distance smaller by 60.73 m with an efficiency increase of 42 % as well as improving the flow of the production process in the initial layout.

Published: September 2022

Refrigerant leaks have a major impact on system operating performance, increasing power consumption, damage to components, and worse, global warming. This study aims to use a monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to track Chloro Fluro Carbon gas in the air conditioning system. Using NodeMCU as a microcontroller-based control tool that has been assisted by a Wi-Fi module. The sensitivity level of refrigerant leakage is very high based on the sensitivity of the sensor used, namely MQ135. In experimenting, the refrigerant leak starts with the closest distance to the inaccessibility of the sensor readings to determine the acceleration of the sensor in detecting leaks. The voltage required for the MQ135 sensor is 5 Volt DC. This system uses an android application, namely blynk which has features for monitoring and warning users that the AC unit has detected a leak. The results of measuring the sensitivity level of the sensor are very high for alcohol, benzene, and NH3 gases. It can detect small leaks at a distance of 20 cm, at a moderate level of leakage it can detect further at 80 cm, and at a maximum detection level at a distance of 160 cm in closed rooms or low winds. Because the leakage distance is quite far, it will be affected by the wind, the sensor reading will be hampered because the refrigerant cannot hit the sensor.

Published: September 2022

One of the most important and expensive power lines in the distribution method is the low line voltage. In case of overload or short circuit current, it protects the electrical installation. MCB is an important component in electrical installations. The formation of sparks due to a short circuit can eventually cause a fire which has the  potential to cause a fire, which is an unwanted MCB nuisance. This MCB can be used as a direct current breaker with a load, either manually or automatically. When the MCB is switched from "ON" to "OFF", the mechanical part in the MCB cuts off the electric current. The manual method involves turning off the toggle switch in front of the MCB (usually blue or black). The finished tool is then tested to see how well components such as AC MCB, DC MCB, Volt meter, LED lamps, Outlets, and lamp fittings perform. The function of the analysis of the characteristics of the use of DC MCBs for the use of DC loads works to compare the use of DC MCBs on AC loads and which ones are the most effective and the circuit is given a load until the MCB trips and amperes and volts are measured in the circuit.

Xanthe Original distributions have quite a number of buyers or members, in this case, the main focus that will be evaluated is how to process online and offline sales of original Xanthe products. Online sales of original Xanthe products are still required to contact the original Xanthe distribution via WhatsApp to ask for stock, product details, product prices, and product delivery costs, so members or buyers must wait first until the distribution party replies to the WhatsApp chat, while in offline sales Xanthe products originals are required to come to the original Xanthe distro, and the problem that often occurs when buyers come directly to the distribution is that the product they want to buy is out of stock. The purpose of designing this application is to produce an effective and efficient sales application on the Xanthe Original distribution. The research used in completing this sales application is observation, interviews, and documentation carried out at the Xanthe Original Distro Sidoarjo. This sales application is made using the PHP Native programming language and MySQL as the database. The results of the research on this sales application are that the distribution party can manage goods data, category data, expedition data, member data, and computerized sales data. This application is expected to make it easier for members to buy original Xanthe products because product orders and product payments are made online, and there is no need to come to the store.

Without Trichoderma sp. and with 20ml Trichoderma sp. These 8 combinations of treatment, repeated 3 times. The observed variable is the height of the plant, the number of the leaves, diameter of the stem, the number of the shoots, the weight of the leaf and length of the plant roots. The results showed that between the treatment of growing media composition and Trichoderma sp. there is no real impact on all observation variables. The treatment of growing media composition has a noticeable effect on the height, number of leaves and number of shoots of the Javanese Ginseng plant. The treatment of composition between soil and sand produces the highest plants with the heaviest leaves. While the treatment of giving Trichoderma sp. has an unreal effect on all variables

Dust Cleaning System on Panel Injection Machine BM500 PET preforms. The clean machine panel is essential so that performance and safety are maintained. Dust that sticks to electrical components such as contactors, servo drives, solid-state relays, PLCs, and several other components causes overheating. Dust attached to the conductors of electrical components will burn and become carbon which bridges the emergence of sparks. To reduce the risk of damage to electrical equipment on the injection machine, an automatic dust cleaning system is designed. This system uses a GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor, a DHT 22 sensor to detect temperature and humidity, Arduino Uno microcontroller, 16x2 LCD, L298N driver, DC motor, fan, solenoid valve and utilizes high-pressure air to spray dust inside the panel which is then sucked in with a fan and collected in a dust bag. From the results of the trial installation of this system with 10 times of data collection for 4 hours 30 minutes with an interval of 30 minutes, it can be seen that the dust cleaning process runs 2 times. After the cleaning process is running the data shows that the dust density can drop to 0.16 mg/m³. Likewise, the temperature inside the engine panel, after the air circulation process runs well in the first or second conditions, the temperature inside the panel can drop below 40°C. From the test results, it can be seen that the system can work well.
