IoT-Enabled Dual-Axis Solar Tracking System Using ESP32 and Blynk for Real-Time Monitoring and Energy Optimization
Authors: Mustafa Al-Sheikh
Published: January 2025

This paper presents an IoT-enabled dual-axis solar tracking system that integrates  a Kalman filter and a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller to enhance tracking accuracy, energy efficiency, and operational stability. Addressing the ongoing challenge of maxi- mizing photovoltaic (PV) panel output, the proposed system leverages an ESP32 microcontroller and the Blynk platform to provide real-time monitoring, remote parameter adjustments, and flexible connectivity. Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensors measure sunlight intensity from multiple directions, while MG90S servo motors dynamically adjust the panel’s azimuth and elevation. The Kalman filter refines noisy sensor data to yield precise sun position estimates, enabling the PID controller to respond quickly and accurately to deviations in panel orientation. Through extensive testing conducted over several days, including both clear and partially cloudy conditions, the system achieved an average Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as low as 1.2° under clear skies and maintained RMSE below 2.0° even under partial shading. Compared to a fixed-panel baseline, daily energy harvesting improved by approximately 43%. These results confirm that advanced estimation and control algorithms, when combined with IoT functionali- ties, significantly outperform simpler tracking methods and static installations. Furthermore, the low-cost, compact design and user-friendly interface facilitate practical deployment in a range of scenarios, including small-scale and off-grid installations. By ensuring continuous alignment of the PV panel with the sun, the system not only increases overall energy capture but also reduces maintenance requirements through remote oversight. This research thus offers a robust, scalable approach to improving solar energy utilization in diverse and evolving environmental conditions.

Published: January 2025

Kawasan Tanpa Rokok (KTR) adalah area yang melarang aktivitas merokok, serta kegiatan memproduksi, menjual, mengiklankan, atau mempromosikan berbagai produk tembakau. Salah satu lokasi yang termasuk dalam KTR adalah tempat proses belajar mengajar, seperti perguruan tinggi atau universitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis gambaran terhadap Implementasi Kebijakan Kawasan Tanpa Rokok Menurut Peraturan Daerah Surabaya Nomor 2 Tahun 2019 (Studi di UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur). Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, dokumentasi, dan observasi. Informan pada penelitian ini adalah Civitas Akademika dan warga lainnya yang berada di lingkungan UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur. Hasil penelitian ini dilihat dengan teori menurut Smith dengan empat indikator yakni : 1) Kebijakan Ideal, kebijakan tersebut belum berjalan dengan semestinya, karena tidak adanya sosialisasi intensif yang dilakukan pihak kampus; 2)  Kelompok Sasaran, sasaran kebijakan KTR belum mengetahui secara menyeluruh terkait kebijakan larangan merokok di kawasan tertentu sehingga masih terdapat pelanggaran kebijakan yang dilakukan; 3) Organisasi Pelaksana, dalam hal ini dapat dilihat dari pelaksanaan kewajiban-kewajiban pimpinan yang masih belum optimal, terutama dalam hal pengawasan, penyediaan tempat merokok, dan penegakan aturan. Akan tetapi, untuk kewajiban berupa pemasangan tanda atau himbauan larangan merokok dan teguran sudah dilaksanakan; 4) Faktor Lingkungan, kurangnya kesadaran sosial dan budaya merokok dari kelompok sasaran juga turut mempengaruhi implementasi kebijakan ini.

Background with Objective
Worldwide Urinary bladder carcinoma (UBC) is one of the most common cancers of genitourinary system. Carcinoma of the urinary bladder is one of the leading causes of death for both men and women. Female-gender patients diagnosed with bladder cancer have a higher risk of recurrence, progression, and cancer-specific mortality compared with their male counterparts. The aim of this study was to focus on the age and sex disparities in bladder carcinoma.
Methods
This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 50 patients presenting with malignant tumor in urinary bladder at Pathology department for histopathology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, from January 2016 to December 2017. Purposive sampling method was followed. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-20.1).
Results
Male patients (80%) were suffering from more malignant tumor in urinary bladder than female patients (20%). Maximum (58.0%) patients were below or equal to 60 years. 36 (72.0%) patients had high grade of urothelial carcinoma (HGUC). High grade tumor is more common in 51-60 years followed by 61-70 years. High grade tumor was more common in female patients (90%). There was no significant difference in tumor marker Her2/neu score and Ki-67 level between two age groups (P>0.05).

Utveckling av forskning kring konstkultur och hälsa från slutet av 70-talet till nu
Authors: Theorell Töres
Published: January 2025

Forskning kring sambandet mellan konstkultur (t ex bildkonst, dans, musik, teater och litteratur) och hälsa har förekommit under tusentals år. Det som hela tiden stått i centrum är utforskandet av hur individer reagerar i samband med ”passivt” och ”aktivt” deltagande i konstkulturella aktiviteter. Detaljerade beskrivningar av individuella förlopp har alltid ingått i sådan verksamhet och har fyllt en viktig funktion i motiverandet av samhälleliga satsningar på konstkultur. Ett berömt exempel från bibeln är Davids harpospel för kung Salomo, vilket skall ha botat kungens depression. Systematiska studier av fysiologiska reaktioner i form av pulsförändringar i samband med musikupplevelser finns rapporterade t ex i tysk vetenskaplig litteratur från 1950-talet. Men i samband med stora framsteg i studiet av hormonreaktioner i basal neuroendokrinologi på 1980-talet och av teknik för ”filmning” av processer i hjärnan ”online” (framförallt fMRI, funktionell magnetresonans-imaging) under aktiva processer har det under den senaste 20-årsperioden blivit möjligt att se vad som händer i kroppen och även i hjärnan i samband med kulturella upplevelser. Dessutom har det blivit möjligt att följa hur hjärnans utveckling hos barn påverkas av konstnärliga aktiviteter. Detta gör att det finns betydligt starkare vetenskapliga argument i debatten om konstkulturens roll i samhället än någonsin tidigare i människans historia. Vi som sysslar med sådan forskning tycker inte att samhället tar till sig den nya kunskapen.

Published: January 2025

Här visar vi att högskolan och omgivande samhälle kan spela en betydelsefull roll för att initiera innovation och hållbar utveckling i situationer där marknaden misslyckas. Vi har visat det experimentellt dels genom att föra samman normalt åtskilda intressenter i sökprocessen efter nya hållbara idéer samt dels genom att stödja alla människor i samhället som ville utvärdera en sådan idé för innovation. Våra resultat kan förklara både negativa externa effekter och den långsamma utvecklingen av hållbara produkter, men också hur marknadsaktörerna själva och samhället kan gå runt problemen för att utveckla bättre produkter. Artikeln är en sammanställning av tidigare preventionsforskning vid Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan och Karolinska Institutet. Forskningen relaterar till FN:s globala mål 3, 8 och 9 för hållbar utveckling genom att främja hållbar innovation för arbetsplatsens hälsa och säkerhet.

The diagnostic value of carotid ultrasound in stroke prevention: Cellular molecular biomechanics-anchored exploration of current applications and future trails
Authors: Zhang Min , Liu Rong
Published: January 2025

Stroke continues to be a major public health concern involving high morbidity and mortality in most parts of the world with far reaching economic impact. About two thirds of these cases are caused by ischemic strokes that are linked to carotid artery disease. Identifying high-risk stroke patients is crucial for initiating appropriate management. At the cellular molecular biomechanics level, the carotid artery’s endothelial cells experience shear stress. Changes in blood flow patterns can disrupt the mechanotransduction pathways within these cells. Ideally, high risk stroke patients should first be identified for proper management to be begins. Carotid artery disease or carotid stenosis and plaque formation is one of the major and modifiable risk factors for ischemic stroke, thereby the importance of accurate diagnostic assessment cannot be overstressed. The current uses, accuracy, and future developments of carotid ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for stroke prevention are discussed in this paper. Carotid ultrasound that is noninvasive and relatively inexpensive is a central tool in evaluating the degree of stenosis and plaque features that are vital in risk of stroke. It can detect alterations in the intima-media thickness, which reflects changes in the cellular and extracellular matrix composition of the artery wall. The biomechanical properties of plaques, such as their stiffness and vulnerability, can also be inferred. In the review, difficulties in stroke risk detection and features of carotid ultrasound that were outlined include its effectiveness in identifying stroke risk, in comparison with other imaging techniques, the incorporation of carotid ultrasound into clinical practice for early strokes detection. New developments such as carotid elastography and imaging with the help of artificial intelligence algorithms are also presented to exemplify the increasing possibilities of enhancing diagnostic accuracy. The primary value of carotid ultrasound is in stroke prevention because it offers a preliminary and precise means of diagnosing carotid artery disease. However, further studies are needed to explore additional applications, enhance diagnostic precision, and develop more effective preventive healthcare strategies, taking into account the cellular molecular biomechanics of the carotid artery and its associated pathologies.

CSA, a pozzolanic material, enhances matrix densification, while CSF provides crack-bridging and toughness improvement. Dynamic mechanical testing under cyclic loading demonstrated that CSA-CSF composites exhibit superior fatigue resistance, retaining 85% of their initial compressive strength after 1000 cycles. Biodegradation studies in simulated body fluid (SBF) and acidic environments revealed that the composites maintain 75% compressive strength in SBF over 28 days, highlighting their potential for bioactive scaffolds. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantitative porosity analysis showed that CSA-derived Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) gel effectively filled voids, while CSF enhanced fiber-matrix bonding, mimicking the hierarchical structure of biological systems. The results emphasize the dual benefits of CSA-CSF composites in dynamic environments and their alignment with sustainable and bio-inspired design principles. This research provides insights into the development of materials for biomechanical applications, including tissue engineering scaffolds and earthquake-resistant structures.

Background: Access to dental care for children covered by public insurance programs . Rural areas face particularly pronounced challenges due to dentist shortages and lower participation in public insurance programs. Previous studies have explored dentist participation in public insurance programs but have not adequately addressed differences between rural and urban areas, or among dental practice types. Methods: This study analyzed data from  Dentists were categorized by location (rural, suburban, or urban), practice type (general, pediatric, or specialist), and public insurance participation . Data were matched and classified using rural-urban commuting area (RUCA) codes. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare participation rates and geographic disparities, with results visualized at city  and county levels. Results: Among the 225,300 dentists analyzed, urban areas had the highest concentration of dentists (84%) but the lowest public insurance participation rates . Rural areas had fewer dentists (5%) but exhibited higher participation rates . Pediatric dentists showed the highest public insurance participation, whereas general dentists and specialists had significantly lower rates. Variability in participation was observed at city  and county levels, with disparities reaching up to 100% in certain counties. Conclusion: Significant disparities in dentist availability and participation , particularly in rural areas and among non-pediatric dentists. City -level policies, such as joint administration, expanded loan forgiveness programs, and school-based dental services, are essential to improve access. Tailored, localized interventions are necessary to address geographic and professional disparities and ensure equitable pediatric dental care access.
The Impact of Online Apps Hotels, Customer Wellbeing and Customer Citizenship Behavior: A Mediating Role of Customer Intimacy
Authors: Hasnin Eman Abdel Hameed
Published: January 2025

This study aims to assess how customer well-being influences customers’ citizenship behavior nowadays, tourism and hotel organizations care about their customers. By studying their behaviors and satisfaction levels, one of these trends is to determine the level of customers’ well-being and build intimate relationships with them. Although there is a wide range of research on customer well-being, the impact of customer well-being, customer intimacy, and customer citizenship behavior has not received enough empirical investigation. This study aims to fill this gap. In addition, we examine the mediating role of customer intimacy. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (Warp-PLS V.7) and SPSS 26.0 were used to analyze data collected from 333 hotel customers in Cairo. The results show that customer well-being has both direct and indirect effects on customers’ citizenship behavior, with customer intimacy acting as a partial mediator. The results of the study provide useful guidelines that can help hotel managers make more efforts to enhance customer relationships, achieve customer well-being, achieve customer citizenship, achieve customer intimacy, and benefit from its mediating role in the relationship.

The research investigates how geopolitical conflicts influence global commodities and financial
markets, aiming to identify effects on oil companies' economic and financial indicators within the
context of financial market synergies. An integrated approach is implemented in the study, combining
traditional statistical methods with advanced machine learning techniques. The results of the
investigation were analyzed at two distinct levels: (1) that of the evolution of global commodity prices
during the conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, and (2) that of the financial performance of 250
companies in the oil industry, summarized in seven key indicators. Eloquent findings indicate that both
conflicts have triggered significant changes in commodity prices, with strong investor reactions to safe
haven assets such as gold and silver. In addition, there are clear manifestations of behavior reflecting
supply-side concerns, as energy prices have risen considerably. Correlation analysis has shown a
significant link between upward oil price movements and changes in some financial indicators (such as
EBITDA) as well as asset increases. By integrating traditional statistical methods and advanced
machine learning techniques, the ability of GARCH-ML hybrid models to accurately predict stock index
volatility in the context of geopolitical tensions is highlighted. The research results highlight the benefits
of the holistic approach in analyzing the complex interconnections between commodity markets, financial markets
and company performance.

The migration of medical specialists leaving Romania to work in more developed countries is a
phenomenon known as the brain drain. Through this research, we studied the migration of practicing
physicians from Romania during the period 2014-2021 by analyzing four variables respectively by
testing four research hypotheses. Based on the results obtained, it was necessary to renounce at the
analysis of two variables that did not present statistical significance, namely the number of graduates
in the medical specialty and the self-reported unmet need for medical examination and care. Thus, in
the research, we concluded that an increase in the variable health care expenditure contributes to an
increase in the number of practicing physicians in Romania. On the other hand, although there were
significant salary increases during the period 2016-2018, these proved to be insufficient, and the
number of practicing physicians continued to decrease.
