Authors: Hartmannová Lucie , Mach Radomír , Záruba Roman , Pavlovský Michal
Published: March 2021

The work deals with atypical conjunctival infection of Czech patient with Oestrus ovis larvae. Ophthalmomyiasis is infestation of mammalian eyes by the larvae or worms of some flies. The most common cause of human myiasis is the Sheep. Shepherds are infected in habitats, but human eye disease outside the areas of abundant hamsters is rare. We describe a case of eye disease in a middle-aged man from the Czech Republic who spent a summer holiday seven weeks before examination in the north of Greece. During the first examination he was completely treated and no further problems were reported. Ophthalmomyiasis externa should be considered as a possible infection of travelers to the southern endemic regions when returning with an acute causeless onset of a one-sided foreign body sensation in the eye.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Alcohol use and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are two leading causes of liver disease. Alcohol use is prevalent among the HCV-infected population and accelerates the progression of HCV-related liver disease. Despite barriers to care faced by HCV-infected patients who use alcohol, few studies have analyzed uptake of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment. OBJECTIVE: We compared rates of treatment uptake and sustained virological response (SVR) between patients with and without alcohol use. METHODS: Prospective data were obtained from the Canadian Network Undertaking against Hepatitis C (CANUHC) cohort. Consenting patients assessed for DAA treatment between January 2016 and December 2019 were included. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between patients with and without alcohol use by means of t-tests, χ2 tests, and Fisher’s Exact Tests. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine predictors of SVR and treatment initiation. RESULTS: Current alcohol use was reported for 217 of 725 (30%) patients. The proportion of patients initiating DAA treatment did not vary by alcohol use status (82% versus 83%; p = 0.99). SVR rate was similar between patients with alcohol use and patients without alcohol use (92% versus 94%; p = 0.45). Univariate and multivariate analysis found no association between alcohol use and SVR or treatment initiation. CONCLUSION: Patients engaged in HCV treatment have highly favourable treatment uptake and outcomes regardless of alcohol use. Public health interventions should be directed toward facilitating access to care for all patients irrespective of alcohol use. Research into high-level alcohol use and DAA outcomes is needed.

Published: March 2021

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP) can be combined under the term "idiopathic fibrotic lung disease". It has a number of characteristic clinical and morphological features, which depend on the course of the disease (acute, subacute, or chronic) and are never identical in the early and end stages. Combining all types of IIP, other than unclassified interstitial pneumonias and cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, under the term "idiopathic fibrotic lung disease" will make it possible to move away from the ambiguous concept of so-called early diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, establish criteria of disease activity, and identify clear indications for systemic corticosteroids and new antifibrotic agents in patients with IIP. Keywords: idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, early diagnosis, principles of treatment.

Authors: Laarakker Avra
Published: March 2021

Objective: We report a case of self inserted needle into the left ventricle of the heart and a description of our surgical intervention in a psychiatric patient without decision-making capacity. We discuss issues regarding obtaining consent in this patient with a sub-acute presentation, report our operative approach, and summarize a treatment approach based on a review of current literature. Methods: A PubMed search using terms “needle, “heart”, “insertion”, “intracardiac foreign object”, yielded 69 relevant papers. 67 of these were case reports yielding 72 individual cases. Age, gender, cause of the needle entry (Accidental Plus (A+), Intravenous Drug User [IVDU], Self-inflicted (SI)), type of needle, location in heart, neuropsychiatric history, treatment, and outcome were documented. Results: Within the SI category, there were a total of 28 cases, 89.3% had a neuropsychiatric history whereas only there were only 2 such patients in both the IVDU and A+ group. The location of the needle in the heart in all 72 cases was as follows: right ventricle 40.3%, other 20.8%, left ventricle 19.4 %, ventricle and interventricular septum 16.7% and the right and left atrium were each 1.4 %. In all three groups (n=72), 77.8% of patients underwent surgery, with 92.9% having a stable outcome. Conclusion: Our case and review demonstrates that management of such cases, particularly when active mental health issues are present, requires a case-by-case evaluation and treatment as a specific standard of care has not been established. Surgical intervention appears to be the preferred management regardless of presentation with good outcomes. Running Title: Intracardiac Self Insertion of a Darning Needle in a Psychiatric Patient

Authors: Enrique Suen
Published: March 2021

Aims: According to the World Health Organization, between 1980 and 2014 the total number of people with diabetes in the world increased from 108 million to 422 million and by the end of 2020, the total number was approximately 463 million. The most frequent complication in this type of patient is diabetic foot ulcer, where conventional treatments generally fail to solve the problem and in many cases the condition ends with amputation. In 1998, an electrical stimulator was developed, called Stimul W, whose application in the healing of pressure and venous ulcers has yielded satisfactory results, allowing not only to obtain the Medical Registry by health entities in Cuba and other countries and even patent the mentioned equipment, but it has been achieved, in more than two decades of work, the healing of 1,191 ulcers of both types, with 94.5% effectiveness, a healing time that ranges between 21 and 42 days , according to the characteristics of the ulcer and without recurrence in any case treated. Starting in 2015, the application of this technique began in diabetic foot ulcers with the objectives of measuring the effectiveness and achieving an alternative treatment for this type of injury. In the present work a brief compilation of the results achieved in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer using electrical stimulation is shown. Statistical Model: 31 diabetic patients, over 40 years old, with a total of 38 diabetic foot ulcers (some patients had more than one lesion) were treated, with times with the ulcer ranging between 1 and 6 months. The treatment consisted of a daily application for 30 minutes, using the Stimul W electrical stimulator, through the use of self-adhesive electrodes, conveniently placed around the affected area and on healthy skin, with current values ​​corresponding to scale 8 of the stimulator, approximately 1.5 mA and using the two stimulation channels Results: Results: In 27 of the 31 patients treated, the ulcer was healed with an effectiveness of 87%. In relation to ulcers, 33 ulcers healed in total, for 86.8% effectiveness. Average healing times were between 30 and 42 days, considering a daily session. Conclusion: Acceleration of healing was achieved with respect to conventional treatments, reducing healing times, and not producing adverse events during and after the application of the treatment.

Least-Square Models with Structural Breaks for Price-Demand Relationship of Prevention-Commodities to Covid-19 Disease: Evidence from Pooled Weekly Data of Hand Sanitizers, Face-Masks and Vitamin-C Supplements
Authors: Ahmed Aziz , Gul Nagina , Shakeel Muhammad
Published: March 2021

The present study employs log-log models and comparatively estimates the price-demand relationship of hand sanitizers, face-masks and vitamin-c supplements as COVID-19 prevention-commodities both before and after the exponential spread of the current pandemic. A novel weekly data is collected and generated by a two-stage stratified sampling technique in a field survey from five capital and most populous cities of Pakistan. The least-square methods with structural breaks are employed for city-wise assessment, while fully modified ordinary least square methods are employed for the pooled panel of Pakistan. The structural breaks are assessed using a priori information via graphical analysis as well as employing the global information criterion of structural breaks. The findings suggest demands and prices structurally surged exponentially after the spread of COVID-19 disease in Pakistan. Thus, implying; i) immediate policy check to stabilize the prices of COVID- 19 prevention-commodities for the poor and lower-income groups of people and ii) importing the commodities to fill the existing demand-supply gap to mitigate the spread of the current pandemic as per the World Health Organization benchmark for public prepared-ness to combat COVID-19 disease.

BACKGROUND Echocardiography and electrocardiogram may prove useful in the care of COVID-19 patients but there is limited data postulating their usefulness in this disease. OBJECTIVE To determine electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings among COVID-19 patients in Makati Medical Center. METHODS A retrospective single center analytical study involving adult Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed COVID-19 positive patients admitted in Makati Medical Center from March to April 16, 2020. These patients had more than one electrocardiogram (ECG) result and a 2D echocardiography done during their admission. The initial and repeat ECGs during the course of hospital stay were obtained to determine if there were changes in ECG. On the other hand, echocardiographic investigations were confined to studies of left and right ventricular systolic function. RESULTS In the initial ECG findings, the most common abnormalities observed were QT prolongation (39.39%), ischemic changes (15.15%), and fascicular blocks (12.12%). During the course of admission, the most common were still QT prolongation (39.39%) and ischemic changes (13.64%), with the additional observation of further prolongation in QT from baseline (24.24%). For the echocardiographic findings, the right and left systolic functions were preserved in majority of the patients. No significant difference was noted in the electrogram and echocardiographic findings between survivor and non-survivors. CONCLUSION Majority of patients had abnormal ECG at baseline with further worsening during the course of confinement. Almost all abnormalities were related to QT prolongation. Though most patients had elevated cardiac biomarkers, only few patients had notable abnormalities in left and right ventricular function. Keywords COVID 19, Electrocardiogram, 2D Echocardiography

The outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery are determined by numerous factors. This study aimed to analyze the factors contributing to short-term outcomes of patients undergoing isolated CABG. This retrospective analysis enrolled all adult patients undergoing isolated CABG at our center between January 2013 and December 2016. Clinical characteristics and postoperative events were recorded and analyzed. Overall, 242 patients (mean age, 59.7 ± 9.5 years) were included. The majority of the patients (88.4%) were men. The median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 50% ± 15%, with 38% patients having an LVEF lower than 40% and 9.1% having an LVEF lower than 25%. The mean preoperative creatinine level was 1.25 ± 0.73, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate was 68.55 ± 23 ml/min/1.73 m2. The intensive cardiac care unit stay and total in-hospital stay were 70 ± 59 h and 8 ± 4 days, respectively. The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.1%. The most common major adverse events were new-onset atrial fibrillation (31.8%) and significant worsening of renal function (21.5%). Stroke occurred in 3.7% patients, for which preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dyslipidemia were strong predictors (P < 0.05; area under the curve [AUC], 87.7%). Advanced age and hypertension were considered significant risk factors for developing new-onset atrial fibrillation (P < 0.05; AUC 65%). Worsening renal function and new-onset atrial fibrillation were the most frequent complications that occurred during hospitalization following CABG. Preexisting CKD and dyslipidemia were the major risk factors for developing acute stroke post surgery.

Being In-between: Poetry for Children and Its Formal Method
Authors:   Princeton University, Oushakine Serguei Alex.
Published: March 2021

This introduction to the archive bloсk on poetry for children as a critical object attempts to place the development of poetic literature aimed for children within a larger context of literary debates that were taking place at the same time. Throughout the 1920s, such formalist scholars as Yuri Tynianov and Boris Eikhenbaum persistently emphasized in their work that literature should be seen (and judged) as an autonomous field of creative activity. A similar trend could be easily traced in the field of poetic literature for children, too. In this case, the claim to artistic sovereignty was realized as a desire to develop a distinctive set of literary tools, specific for children’s poetry. As many critics maintained at the time, poetry for children should be distinguished not by its themes, but by the ways it organizes the poetic material. New, purposefully created methods of structuring the word mass were perceived as the key feature which could distinguish poetry for children from the rest of the Soviet literature. As a result, by the middle of the 1930s, the Soviet poetry for children gradually developed its own characteristic features: this poetry was playful, lyrical, and humorous. Poems created by K. Chukovsky and S. Marshak delineated the lyric-and-ludic pole of Soviet poetry for children, while poems by V. Mayakovsky and A. Barto would become the classical examples of the “didactic” poetry, in which satire and scorns would function as pedagogical tools. Consequently, the [position of the poet for children would evolve, too: lonely outsiders (like Chukovsky) would be overshadowed by “revolutionary poets” (like Mayakovsky), systemic “fellow-travelers” (like Marshak) and “class-conscious” Soviet children’s writers (like Barto).
“Pictures for Consolation”: Graphic design of collections of riddles created by soviet poets of the 1920s-30s
Authors:   Russian State Library (RSL), Russian Academy of Arts, Fomin Dmitriy
Published: March 2021

In this article the authorized collections of poetic riddles published in Russian on the territory of the USSR in the period of the 1920s-the first half of the 1930s are reviewed and analyzed. The characteristic features of their graphic design are at the core of the investigation. Methodologically, such a study requires a broad range of sources, from book examination to the exploration of art, philological analyses, and research of various sources. This present research was based on the materials of the Russian State Library collections. The authors of riddles, as a rule, worked in line with the folklore tradition. Illustrators mostly ignored the experience of their predecessors. Often, artists compulsively suggested the answer to the reader, depriving the child of the opportunity to find it on her/his own. As a result, fascinating exercises for “mental gymnastics” turned into a banal album of visual aids, in which images of objects for some reason were accompanied by their allegorical rhymed description. Special attention is given to the works of artists who managed to avoid this mistake and inventively use the powerful game that was potentially inherent in the genre of riddles. Such list of artists include B. M. Kustodiev, V. M. Konashevich, N. A. Ushakova, L. V. Popova, M. M. Sinyakova, P. V. Williams, E. G. Dorfman, B. F. Tatarinov, L. A. Yudin,N. V. Gegello, T. N.

Increasing the creolization: W. Busch’s “Plish And Plum” translated by D. Kharms
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, Brykova Aleksandra
Published: March 2021

The article discusses the free translations of W. Busch’s rhymed story “Plish and Plum” (written in 1882) made by D. Kharms in 1936 and 1937. The analyzed story is a variant of creolized texts where the verbal and the visual parts maintain a complex relationship. Kharms preferred to realize the informational function of the text and almost neutralize the deictic one as well as to increase the narrative dynamics. He rejected extra verbal and visual detailing and long reflections. Kharms also rejected the verbal marking of polysubject situations and some plot-determined details that increased the importance of the visual part of the story. Choosing another type of narrator (neutralizing the elements of an implicit adult actor) and changing the ending of the story allowed Kharm not only to make that story part of new soviet cultural and educational tradition but also employ it as a part of the absurdist literature traditions. This was achieved through the usage of more complicated ways of verbal and visual reference.

PENERAPAN SANKSI ADAT DALAM PENYELESAIAN TINDAK PIDANA PERJUDIAN DI KABUPATEN PESISIR SELATAN (STUDI KASUS PADA SATRESKRIM POLRES PESISIR SELATAN)
Authors: Muhardi Muhardi
Published: March 2021

The practice of gambling is growing day by day in various levels of society, from the lower classes to the upper classes. This was proven when the Pesisir Selatan Criminal Investigation Unit (Sat Reskrim) arrested 7 (seven) mothers who played playing card gambling in Kampung Samudera, Kenagarian Surantih, Sutera District, Pesisir Selatan on October 21, 2017. But before taking the route criminal law in general, this case has been resolved by customary law in Pesisir Selatan by receiving customary sanctions. This research is a descriptive analytical study. The approach used in this study is a normative juridical approach supported by an empirical juridical approach. From the results of the research it can be explained that: First, the application of customary sanctions in the settlement of gambling crimes in Pesisir Selatan Regency, is by considering local rules and discretion made by the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Pesisir Selatan Police. Where deliberation leaders, traditional, religious and family leaders hold a meeting, the results of the deliberation are conveyed to the police so that the suspects will be given customary sanctions, in the form of requiring them to walk from the location of arrest to one of the mosques, and vowing not to repeat the act again. Second, the obstacles to the application of customary sanctions in solving gambling crimes in Pesisir Selatan Regency are internal obstacles to the police and external obstacles to the police. There are settlement steps that can be taken in overcoming the obstacles that occur in overcoming gambling with preventive and repressive measures.
PENERAPAN ILMU KRIMINALISTIK PADA PENYIDIKAN TINDAK PIDANA CABUL DENGAN KORBAN TUNA WICARA
Authors: Fajri Agnes
Published: March 2021

The application of criminalism in investigating obscene crimes against speech impaired victims by the PPA Unit of the Satreskrim Polres Agam is a science to help strategies in making light of cases. Criminal science is used to obtain information from victims as crown witnesses or victim witnesses, which is rather difficult to do. This is because the daily conditions of the victim cannot hear (deaf), do not speak (mute), so they cannot communicate properly like normal people, and never go to school. In this regard, investigators use criminalistic science with forensic psychology aids, forensic medicine aids and body language or sign science for the deaf. In forensic medicine, it is used by doing visum et repertum as evidence of violence against the reproductive organs. Forensic Psychology is used to examine the victim's psyche and his honesty about what he is going through. During the investigation into the investigation, the victim was also accompanied by a teacher from the Lubuk Basung Special Elementary School (SDLB). Victims are also examined using props or pictures to make it easier for victims to remember what happened to them, because the victim's memory as a person with a mute disability has limitations.
(Un)gleiche Zugänge zu frühkindlichen Bildungs- und Betreuungsangeboten? Ergebnisse zur Bedeutung kommunaler Steuerung aus qualitativen Fallstudien in Deutschland, Kanada und Schweden
Authors: Menzel Britta , Scholz Antonia
Published: March 2021

Der Zugang zu frühkindlicher Bildung, Betreuung und Erziehung bildet seit mehreren Jahren Ausgangspunkt unterschiedlicher (sozial)politischer Maßnahmen, um gesellschaftlichen Ungleichheitsverhältnissen entgegenzutreten. In den vergangenen Jahren rückte dabei die lokale Steuerungsebene als zentraler Akteur in der Gestaltung frühkindlicher Bildungsangebote zunehmend in den Blick der Forschung. Der vorliegende Beitrag schließt hier an und fragt in einer international vergleichend angelegten Studie danach, ob und wie lokales Steuerungsgeschehen in dezentral organisierten Betreuungssystemen (un)gleiche Zugangsbedingungen hervorbringt. Ausgehend von einer governance-analytischen Perspektive bilden die Grundlage der Studie qualitative Interviews aus Fallstudien in drei Kommunen in Deutschland, Kanada und Schweden, die inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Handlungsspielräume der Kommunalverwaltungen durch vorgegebene Regelungen und strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen definiert werden. In der Angebotsausgestaltung vor Ort setzen die Kommunen allerdings unterschiedliche Prioritäten, die jeweils ungleiche Zugänge fördern (können).

Forschung zu einrichtungsbezogener Segregation im Elementarbereich stellt einerseits eine Lücke dar. Andererseits werden Themen wie Ungleichheit und Segregation seitens der Fachöffentlichkeit immer wieder mit der Vergabe von Kindertagesplätzen in Verbindung gebracht. Anhand zweier strittiger Fälle von Platzvergaben sowie eigenen empirischen Datenmaterials wird im Beitrag Kitaplatzvergabe grundsätzlich problematisiert. Dabei stellt sich Platzvergabe als ein komplexes Geschehen dar, das eine Herausforderung für administrative Ebenen ebenso wie für Kitaleitungspersonal darstellt und zugleich das Potenzial hat, als ‚site of doing de-segregation and social justice‘ anerkannt und genutzt zu werden.
Die Akteurschaft von Kindern in Tür- und Angelgesprächen. Ergebnisse einer ethnographischen Studie im frühpädagogischen Setting
Authors: Menzel Britta
Published: March 2021

In den vergangenen Jahren hat das Verhältnis zwischen Familie und Kindertageseinrichtung im politischen, fachpraktischen und -wissenschaftlichen Diskurs an Bedeutung gewonnen und wird insbesondere mit Bezug auf die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Familie und Kindertageseinrichtung verhandelt. Im pädagogischen Alltag bildet der Kontakt zwischen Eltern und Fachkräften ein zentrales Moment der Zusammenarbeit. Ausgangspunkt des Kontaktes sind häufig die Kinder, welche auch – zumindest theoretisch – als Teil des Verhältnisses zwischen Familie und Kindertageseinrichtung konzipiert werden. Bislang ist jedoch wenig darüber bekannt, inwiefern Kinder dieses Verhältnis (mit)gestalten (können). Im Rahmen eines kindheitstheoretischen Forschungsprojekts wurde mittels ethnographischen Beobachtungen die Akteurschaft von Kindern (3 bis 6 Jahre) im täglichen Austausch von Eltern und Fachkräften am Beispiel von Tür- und Angelgesprächen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinder als Akteur_innen in vielfältiger Weise an der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Familie und Kindertageseinrichtung beteiligt sind, indem sie etwa als Expert_innen sowohl für Zuhause als auch für die Einrichtung agieren oder Erwachsene als Sprachrohr für eigene Interessen nutzen.

Authors:   Classical private university of Zaporizhzhia, Scriabin Olexiy
Published: March 2021

The article presents theoretical approaches to the definition of the concept of «psychological training» and the views of modern scientists on the use of training technologies in the training of law enforcement officers. Today, it is relevant and necessary to use modern psychological trainings for the development of personal and professional qualities of law enforcement officers. Psychological trainings include various methods of work: role plays, discussions, group problem solving, situation modeling, methods of feedback and reflection. The main advantages of the training are: development of a holistic system of such skills and abilities as the organization of positive interpersonal interaction in the community; acquisition of new knowledge about the future profession, development of skills and abilities to perform various types of communicative activities in standard and non-standard professional situations; instilling the ability to think critically and creatively in solving professional problems; analysis and selection of actions in professional situations; formation of personal judgments, assessments of the future profession; as well as teamwork skills.

It is analysed the problematic aspects of providing gender equality in labor relations in the article, as one of the key areas of ensuring Ukraine's democratic progress on the basis of European integration values is the introduction of gender equality in all spheres of public life. Women's rights and gender equality belong to the fundamental human rights guaranteed in numerous international contracts, resolutions, declarations, platforms and action programs in the field of human rights. The purpose of research is to study the world experience in assessing gender inequality, analysis and systematization of existing theoretical and methodological approaches to gender audit of labor legislation, and generalization of the main regulations aimed at implementing gender audit to provide gender balance in the implementation of the right to work. Gender audit is a new tool in promoting gender equality policy. It allows to analyze how the principles of gender equality are reflected in the activities of the organization, how gender components are integrated into strategic, program documents, documents on current activities, in the relationship in the staff. The article presents the main methodological tools for gender audit developed by the ILO and used recently: gender development index, gender inequality index. It was noted that there is a need for the rapid introduction of a methodology for measuring gender inequality, which will be able to cover all areas of human life as widely as possible and provide the most objective assessments of gender imbalance. The above regulations allow us to conclude that gender audit launches a process of systematic self-analysis in the field of both organizational capacity and program activities. The participation in the audit enhances the gender competencies of the participants and provides specific tools and methods of work on gender equality issues. The development of action plans based on the results of the gender audit makes it possible to strengthen the gender competencies of employees and introduce new modern methods of work to increase organizational capacity and improve the quality of working conditions for women and men. The key to the successful implementation of the outlined tasks is the legislative consolidation of these guarantees in the current legislation.

A History of the Architects Board of Western Australia, 1921 – 2021
Authors: Burns-Dans Elizabeth , Wallis Alexandra , Gare Deborah
Published: March 2021

An economic and population boom in the 1890s created opportunities for architects to find work and fame in Western Australia. Architecture, therefore, became a viable profession for the first time, and the number of practicing architects in the colony (and then state) quickly grew. Associations such as the Western Australian Institute of Architects were established to organise the profession, but as the number of architects grew and Western Australian society matured, it became evident that a role for government was required to ensure practice standards and consumer protection. In 1921, therefore, the Architects Act was passed, and, in the following year, the Architects Board of Western Australia was launched. This report traces the evolution and transformation of professional architectural practice since then, and evaluates the role and impact of the Board in its first century.

Published: March 2021

Air quality is very important to ensure the health of humans, plants, and even animals. The tragedy of chemical waste disposal in the Kim Kim river has resulted in air pollution in the surrounding area. Therefore, this innovation has been developed to produce a mobile device that has a low cost, detection of the gas in real-time, and overcome the problems faced due to chemical waste pollution such as shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting. Portable air quality detection is an innovation used to detected and measured the connections between software and hardware that are required for analysis purposes. The outputs detected are carbon dioxide, benzene, alcohol, ammonia, nitrogen oxide, and smoke. Data analysis was done by making a comparison between the output values in LCD and Favoriot and Blynk. This project also can measure the value of temperature and humidity. The sensor used to detect gas readings is MQ135 gas sensor and for temperature and humidity sensor is DHT22 sensor. The value of gas, temperature, and humidity in the environment will be displayed on the website as well as on the phone applications. This innovation used two types of platforms to display the data, Favoriot in website platform and Blynk used on smartphones. In addition, this value will be recorded and stored on the website for future use by the users. The users will also be able to compare readings before and after to ensure that the air in the environment is in good condition. In addition, this project can warn users if the reading is at danger level. The buzzer will sound and users will be notified by email. For future recommendations, the A3OZ sensor can be used to achieve high precision values for O3 and NO2 readings with a detection range of 0-10 ppm and detection accuracy of 20 ppb
