Published: October 2023

This study assessed the food security status of the households and examined factors influencing food security within the surveyed households. A total of 240 samples were gathered from Lalitpur and Jhansi districts in the Bundelkhand region using a multistage random sampling technique during the period of August to September 2022. The Indicator approach and Binary Logistic Regression methods were used to analyze the data. The results show households belonging to the Jhansi district had a substantially higher level of food security in comparison to the Lalitpur district. The findings show that Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of surveyed households have a significant role in determining the level of food security. Hence, the development of an appropriate policy to protect households from the adverse effects of natural disaster like drought and health- hazards like COVID-19 are suggested.

Published: October 2023

This study was to determine the causes of visual impairment and to identify the low vision prescribing pattern among Low Vision Clinic (LVC) patients in the Sibu Hospital. This study was conducted retrospectively among 41 patients attending the LVC, Sibu Hospital. Patients’ demographic characteristics, causes of low vision and blindness, and types of low vision devices prescribed were recorded and analysed for 21 (52.5%) males and 19 (47.5%) females. The mean age was 39.38 ± 17.98 years. The main causes of visual impairment were retinal dystrophies in 12 cases (30.0%) followed by neurological causes in 9 cases (22.5%), glaucoma in 8 cases (20.0%), and acquired macular disorders in 4 cases (10.0%). A total of 27 low vision devices were dispensed, 85.2% (n = 23) were near devices and 14.8% (n = 4) were distance devices. The most frequently prescribed low vision devices (LVD) were video magnifiers (37.0%), followed by hand magnifiers (22.2%), spectacle magnifiers (14.8%), telescopes (14.8%) and stand magnifiers (11.1%). The main leading causes of visual impairment in LVC Sibu Hospital were retinal dystrophies. Video magnifiers were the most common type of low-vision device prescribed. A prompt comprehensive screening is urged for family members with retinal dystrophies to detect the diseases early and hence timely exposure to low vision care and rehabilitation. Familial counselling on inherited retinal diseases and better screening by primary eye care providers are required. Low vision services should be an integral part of the eye care systems in Malaysia.

Na segunda metade do século XX, especialmente a partir de 1980, houve um aumento significativo em casos de tuberculose no mundo. A ampliação da miséria, a urbanização descontrolada e a disseminação do vírus HIV podem ser fatores causais importantes para esse aumento epidemiológico. Desde então diversas organizações nacionais e mundiais se engajaram a fim de encontrar critérios para tratar esses pacientes da maneira mais humana possível. Pesquisas acerca do agente etiológico da doença somados a investimento na indústria farmacêutica impediram que a crescente de mortalidade tivesse uma curva ainda mais exponencial ao decorrer dos anos. No entanto, os riscos de adoecimento do paciente portador desta infecção vão desde características individuais até cultura domiciliar e comunitária. Nesta perspectiva, a equipe de saúde deve estar preparada para acolher e guiar o paciente ao longo do tratamento. Logo, esta revisão narrativa de literatura reuniu artigos das principais bases de dados objetivando apontar o perfil dos pacientes portadores de tuberculose que podem ser tratados na atenção primária, além de elucidar os pilares estabelecidos pelas estratégias de erradicação da doença.

Improved rain event detection in Commercial Microwave Link time series via combination with MSG SEVIRI data

Published: October 2023

Abstract. The most reliable areal precipitation estimation is usually generated via combinations of different measurements and devices by merging their individual advantages. Path-averaged rain rate can be derived from Commercial Microwave Links (CML), where attenuation of the emitted radiation is strongly related with rainfall rate. CMLs can be combined with data from other rainfall measurements or used individually. They are available almost worldwide and often represent the only opportunity of ground-based measurement in data scarce regions. Deriving rainfall estimates from CML data requires extensive data processing, though. The separation of the attenuation time series in rainy and dry periods (rain event detection) is the most important step in this processing and largely determines the quality of the resulting rainfall estimates. In this study, we investigate the suitability of Meteosat Second Generation Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (MSG SEVIRI) satellite data as an auxiliary-data-based (ADB) rain event detection method. We compare this method with two time-series-based (TSB) rain event detection methods. The investigation uses data from 3901 CMLs in Germany for four months in summer 2021 and is carried out for the two SEVIRI-derived products PC and PC-Ph. We analyse all rain event detection methods for different precipitation intensity, differences between day and night, as well as their influence on the performance of rainfall estimates from individual CMLs. The radar product RADKLIM-YW is used for validation. The results show that both SEVIRI products are promising candidates for ADB rainfall detection methods and led to at least equivalent results as the TSB methods. The main uncertainty of all methods was found for light rain. Slightly better results were obtained during the day than at night, which is caused by dew formation on CML antennas and the reduced availability of SEVIRI channels at night. In general, the ADB methods lead to improvements for CMLs performing comparatively weakly using TSB methods. Based on these results, combinations of ADB and TSB methods were developed by emphasizing their specific advantages. Compared to basic and advanced TSB methods, these combinations were able to improve the Matthews Correlation Coefficient of the rain event detection from 0.53 (0.57 resp.) to 0.62 during the day and from 0.47 (0.55 resp.) to 0.6 during the night. Our results show that utilising MSG SEVIRI data in CML data processing significantly increases the quality of the rain event detection step, in particular for CMLs which are challenging to process with TSB methods.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Termites play an essential role in decomposing dead plant
material in tropical ecosystems and are thus major sources of gaseous C
emissions in many environments. In African savannas, fungus-growing termites
are among the ecologically most influential termite species. We studied the
gas exchange from mounds of two closely related fungus-growing species
(Macrotermes subhyalinus and M. michaelseni, respectively) in two habitats representing different vegetation types
(grassland, bushland) together with soil fluxes around the mounds. The
fluxes from active termite mounds varied from 120 to 2100 mg CO2–C m−2 h−1 for carbon dioxide (CO2) and from 0.06 to 3.7 mg CH4–C m−2 h−1 for methane (CH4) fluxes. Mound CO2 fluxes varied
seasonally with a 64 % decrease and 41 % increase in the fluxes from
the dry to wet season at the grassland and bushland sites, respectively. During
the wet season, the CO2 fluxes were significantly correlated with
termite mound volume. The diurnal measurements from two M. michaelseni mounds suggest that
the gas fluxes peak during the daytime, possibly reflecting changes in mound
internal air circulation. Soil fluxes of both CO2 and CH4 were
enhanced at up to 2 m distance from the mounds compared to the local soil
respiration, indicating that, in addition to mound ventilation structures, a
small proportion of the metabolic gases produced also leave the nest via
surrounding soils.
Structural complexity and benthic metabolism: resolving the links between carbon cycling and biodiversity in restored seagrass meadows

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Due to large losses of seagrass meadows worldwide, restoration is proposed as a key strategy for increasing coastal resilience and recovery. The emergence of a seagrass meadow is anticipated to substantially increase biodiversity and enhance benthic metabolism through increased primary productivity and respiration. Yet, open questions remain regarding the metabolic balance of aging seagrass meadows and the roles benthic communities of the seagrass ecosystem play in overall metabolism. To address these questions, we investigated a chronosequence of bare sediments, adjacent Zostera marina meadows of three and seven years since restoration and a natural meadow located within a high-temperate marine embayment in Gåsö, Sweden. We combined continuous measurements of O2 fluxes using underwater eddy covariance with dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and O2 fluxes from benthic chambers during the productive season (July). Based on the ratio between O2 and DIC, we obtained site-specific photosynthetic and respiratory quotients from which we could convert eddy covariance fluxes to DIC. We assessed benthic diversity parameters as potential drivers of metabolic flux variability. We observed high rates of gross primary productivity (GPP) spanning −18–−82 mmol DIC m−2 d−1 which increased progressively with meadow age. Community respiration (CR) mirrored the GPP trend, and all meadows were net heterotrophic (GPP < |CR|), ranging from 16–28 mmol DIC m−2 d−1. While autotrophic biomass did not increase with meadow age, macrophyte diversity did, elucidating potential effects of niche complementarity on community metabolism. These observations provide insights into how community composition and meadow development relate to ecosystem functioning and highlight potential tradeoffs between carbon uptake and biodiversity.
Spatial spin-up of precipitation in limited-area convection-permitting simulations over North America
Authors: Roberge François , Di Luca Alejandro , Laprise René , Lucas-Picher Philippe , Thériault Julie
Published: October 2023

Abstract. A fundamental issue associated with the dynamical downscaling technique using limited-area models is related to the presence of a “spatial spin-up” belt close to the lateral boundaries where small-scale features are only partially developed. Here, we introduce a method to identify the distance from the border that is affected by the spatial spin-up (I.e., the spatial spin-up distance) of the precipitation field in convection-permitting model (CPM) simulations. Using a domain over eastern North America, this new method is applied to several simulations that differ on the nesting approach (single or double nesting) and the 3-D variables used to drive the CPM simulation. Our findings highlight three key points. Firstly, when using a single nesting approach, the spin-up distance from lateral boundaries can extend up to 300 km (around 120 CPM grid points), varying across seasons, boundaries, and driving variables. Secondly, the greatest spin-up distances occur in winter at the western and southern boundaries, likely due to strong atmospheric inflow during these seasons. Thirdly, employing a double nesting approach with a comprehensive set of microphysical variables to drive CPM simulations offers clear advantages. The computational gains from reducing spatial spin-up outweigh the costs associated with the more demanding intermediate simulation of the double nesting. These results have practical implications for optimizing CPM simulation configurations, encompassing domain selection and driving strategies.
Changing effects of external forcing on Atlantic-Pacific interactions

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Recent studies have highlighted the increasingly dominant role of external forcing in driving Atlantic and Pacific Ocean variability during the second half of the 20th century. This paper provides insights into the underlying mechanisms driving interactions between modes of variability over the two basins. We define a set of possible drivers of these interactions and apply causal discovery to reanalysis data, an ensemble of pacemaker simulations where the observed El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is prescribed, and a pre-industrial control simulation. We also utilize large ensemble means of historical simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to quantify the effect of external forcing and improve the understanding of its impact. By conducting a causal analysis of the historical time series, a regime switch is identified in the interactions between major modes of Atlantic and Pacific climate variability. Causal networks derived from pacemaker simulations support this finding and further demonstrate that the effect of external forcing could favor an Atlantic-driven regime between 1985 and 2014 where warming tropical North Atlantic sea surface temperatures induce a La Niña-like cooling in the equatorial Pacific during the following season through a strengthening of the Pacific Walker Circulation. This negative sign effect was not detected when the historical external forcing signal is removed in the pacemaker ensemble. The analysis of the pre-industrial control run further supports the notion that the Atlantic and Pacific modes of natural climate variability exert contrasting impacts on each other even in the absence of external forcing. We show that causal discovery can quantify previously unknown connections and thus provides important potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving changes in regional and global climate variability.
Sea-ice thermodynamics can determine waterbelt scenarios for Snowball Earth
Authors: Hörner Johannes , Voigt Aiko
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Snowball Earth refers to multiple periods in the Neoproterozoic during which geological evidence indicates that Earth was largely covered in ice. A Snowball Earth results from a runaway ice-albedo feedback, but there is an ongoing debate about how the feedback stopped: with fully ice-covered oceans or with a narrow strip of open water around the equator. The latter states are called waterbelt states and are an attractive explanation for Snowball Earth events because they provide a refugium for the survival of photosynthetic aquatic life, while still explaining Neoproterozoic geology. Waterbelt states can be stabilized by bare sea ice in the subtropical desert regions, which lowers the surface albedo and stops the runaway ice-albedo feedback. However, the choice of sea-ice model in climate simulations significantly impacts snow cover on ice and, consequently, surface albedo. Here, we investigate the robustness of waterbelt states with respect to the thermodynamical representation of sea ice. We compare two thermodynamical sea-ice models, an idealized 0-layer Semtner model, in which sea ice is always in equilibrium with the atmosphere and ocean, and a 3-layer Winton model that is more sophisticated and takes into account the heat capacity of ice. We deploy the global climate model ICON-A in an idealized aquaplanet setup and calculate a comprehensive set of simulations to determine the extent of the waterbelt hysteresis. We find that the thermodynamic representation of sea ice strongly influences snow cover on sea ice over the range of all simulated climate states. Including heat capacity by using the 3-layer Winton model increases snow cover and enhances the ice-albedo feedback. The waterbelt hysteresis found for the 0-layer model disappears in the 3-layer model and no stable waterbelt states are found. This questions the relevance of a subtropical bare sea-ice region for waterbelt states and might help explain drastically varying model results on waterbelt states in the literature.
Micro business participation in collective flood adaptation. Lessons from scenario-based analysis in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Although research on the impacts of climate change on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their adaptation to climate change risks has recently received more attention, the focus on micro and household businesses is still very limited. Micro and household businesses are adversely affected by compound flooding events - a situation that will become more acute in the future – but there is little attention in the scientific literature on their adaptation options and actual implementation. Against this background, the paper analyzes the following research questions How are micro-businesses already responding to flooding? Are micro-businesses willing to collectively invest in future proactive adaptation efforts in their neighborhood? What are the key drivers and barriers to adaptation? Based on scenario-based field experiments in Ho-Chi-Minh City, our results show that micro-businesses could play a much larger role in collective adaptation. Often overlooked in adaptation research, their willingness to engage in collective action under severe constraints is surprising. The conceptual framework presented in this paper helps us to understand the key drivers and barriers of micro-businesses' willingness to participate in collective adaptation activities. The most important key barriers for micro-businesses are limited financial capacity and lack of support from local authorities. However, micro-businesses are willing to contribute depending on the concrete adaptation measure and financing options. If no financial contribution is expected, almost 70 % are willing to participate in awareness raising campaigns. And although their financial capacity is very limited, 39 % of micro-businesses would contribute financially if the costs were shared with other businesses in their neighborhood and with local authorities. In this context, micro-businesses should be much more involved in adaptation plans and measures. Through their local embeddedness, they can be important multipliers in strengthening adaptive capacity at the local level.
Advancing the estimation of future climate impacts within the United States

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Evidence of the physical and economic impacts of climate change is a
critical input to policy development and decision-making. In addition to the
magnitude of potential impacts, detailed estimates of where, when, and to
whom those damages may occur; the types of impacts that will be most
damaging; uncertainties in these damages; and the ability of adaptation to
reduce potential risks are all interconnected and important considerations.
This study utilizes the reduced-complexity model, the Framework for
Evaluating Damages and Impacts (FrEDI), to rapidly project economic and
physical impacts of climate change across 10 000 future scenarios for
multiple impact sectors, regions, and populations within the contiguous
United States (US). Results from FrEDI show that net national damages
increase overtime, with mean climate-driven damages estimated to reach
USD 2.9 trillion (95 % confidence interval (CI): USD 510 billion to USD 12 trillion)
annually by 2090. Detailed FrEDI results show that for the analyzed sectors
the majority of annual long-term (e.g., 2090) damages are associated with
climate change impacts to human health, including mortality attributable to
climate-driven changes in temperature and air pollution (O3 and
PM2.5) exposure. Regional results also show that annual long-term
climate-driven damages vary geographically. The Southeast (all regions are as defined in Fig. 5) is projected to
experience the largest annual damages per capita (mean: USD 9300 per person
annually; 95 % CI: USD 1800–USD 37 000 per person annually), whereas the
smallest damages per capita are expected in the Southwest (mean: USD 6300
per person annually; 95 % CI: USD 840–USD 27 000 per person annually).
Climate change impacts may also broaden existing societal inequalities,
with, for example, Black or African Americans being disproportionately affected by
additional premature mortality from changes in air quality. Lastly, FrEDI
projections are extended through 2300 to estimate the net present
climate-driven damages within US borders from marginal changes in
greenhouse gas emissions. Combined, this analysis provides the most detailed
illustration to date of the distribution of climate change impacts within
US borders.
Infrastructuring environmental (in)justice: green hydrogen, Indigenous sovereignty and the political geographies of energy technologies
Authors: Fladvad Benno
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Against the backdrop of ongoing planetary crises, this paper discusses the ambivalent relationship between large-scale material infrastructure, particularly energy technologies, and environmental justice. Inspired by relational and practice-oriented understandings of infrastructure, it develops a conceptual approach for energy-related environmental justice research, which is exemplarily applied to the emerging issue of green hydrogen, drawing on brief insights from the hydrogen frontrunner countries Colombia and Canada and associated struggles over Indigenous sovereignty. This “infrastructural lens”, based on three epistemological shifts – from infrastructure to “infrastructuring”, from social imaginaries to “sociotechnical imaginaries” and from human infrastructuring to “planetary infrastructuring” – provides deeper insights into how patterns of justice and injustice are practically infrastructured and what kinds of imaginaries they evoke or are entangled with. Moreover, it makes tangible how practices of infrastructuring can themselves become part of a broader political ontology, that is, of struggles over ways of being and ways of relating to planet Earth.

Early Communication Indicator: An analysis with three Portuguese toddlers
Authors: Ferreira Sandra , Cruz-Santos Anabela , S. Almeida Leandro
Published: October 2023

Professionals need efficient tools in early childhood communication development to identify infants and toddlers who are at risk of communication disorders or language delays. In Portugal, this project was carried out to respond to these needs due to a lack of these resources and a high prevalence of children at risk for communication problems at early ages. This paper describes the first steps to adapt the Early Communication Indicator (ECI) for the Portuguese population. The ECI is a play-based expressive communication measure for infants and toddlers aged 6 to 42 months. The ECI was originally developed in the U.S. and was designed for use by service providers to provide information about growth in communication, to help in intervention decision making, and to be administered in any language. This paper analyzes the ECI results of three Portuguese children in relation to their communication progression, based on a one-year longitudinal study. The ECI was administered when children were 17, 24, and 30 months of age. The ECI results showed that two of the children follow the typical progression of communication acquisition, with acquisition of earlier prelinguistic skills preceding growth in spoken language. The ECI results for the other child showed a very different and slower progression in the communication skills. The data obtained provided just an initial demonstration of the use of the ECI with Portuguese children. More research is needed into the development of the ECI in the Portuguese context, such as the development of a nationally representative, normative sample. Therefore, a discussion of what is needed in research and practice to advance this project is provided.
Cemal Süreya’da Apollinaire Etkisi
Authors: Sarhuş Burcu Narda
Published: October 2023

Influence is a common situation in the literary field in every period. Authors were influenced by the authors and literary works of previous periods and rewrote similar ones or provided a rich source for their own original texts. Cemal Süreya, one of the most important poets of contemporary Turkish literature, was also influenced by the famous French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who is considered the founder of Surrealism; He even avoided being influenced and became a creative poet who could write "new" and "other". This study is an impact study. In the study, the influence of the French poet Apollnaire on the Turkish poet Cemal Süreya will be examined and the traces of Apollinaire will be tried to be traced in Cemal Süreya's poetics. The influence among the poets will be revealed with a text-based comparative method. An eclectic attitude will be displayed in the study, as the data of hermeneutics, stylistics, psychoanalysis and archetypal criticism theories will be used. Key Words: Apollinaire, Cemal Süreya, Comparative Literature, Poetics, Influence-influence
Outlier and Time-Dependent Covariate in Survival Analysis, A Simulation Based Study
Authors: Ahmad Nauman , Urooj Amena
Published: October 2023

The Cox regression model is widely used in Survival Analysis, also related to medical fields. The Cox regression model is further extended to tackle problems such as non-proportionality and time-dependent covariates. This paper focuses on the behavior of the Cox proportional hazard model in the presence of outliers and time-dependent covariates. To compare the performance of widely used existing time-to-event models in the presence of Outliers and time-dependent covariates and propose a modified Cox model in case of outliers and time-dependent covariates. The algorithm used in the Cox and time-dependent Cox model is extended to tackle the problem of outlier and time-dependent covariates jointly in a model. The estimated model's betas, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE, were compared among the different models. The study concluded that the modified Cox model outperformed the existing time-to-event methodology if the model simultaneously has an Outlier and time-dependent covariates problem.

Актуальной проблемой в современной технике является трение между металлическими поверхностями в различных механизмах. Трение приводит к износу трущихся деталей. Для уменьшения коэффициента трения предлагается проводить обработку поверхностей трущихся деталей суспензией с высоким (более 20%) содержанием ультрадисперсного детонационного наноалмаза. В процессе обработки частицы наноалмаза проникают в обрабатываемое вещество, создавая тонкий поверхностный слой (до 1000 нм, в зависимости от степени обработки деталей), который приводит к сглаживанию эффекта микроскольжения, за счет чего и происходит уменьшение коэффициента трения. Полученный поверхностный слой состоит из металлической матрицы и внедренной в нее наночастицами алмаза. В работе показаны исследования поверхности стальной детали с использованием оптического и рентгеноструктурного метода, и приведены сведения об изменении коэффициента трения стальных деталей.

An urgent problem in modern technology is the friction between metal surfaces in various mechanisms. Friction leads to wear of rubbing parts. To reduce the friction coefficient, it is proposed to treat the surfaces of rubbing parts with a suspension with a high (more than 20%) content of ultrafine detonation nanodiamond. During processing, nanodiamond particles penetrate into the treated substance, creating a thin surface layer (up to 1000 nm, depending on the degree of processing of parts) which leads to a smoothing of the micro-slip effect, due to which the friction coefficient decreases. The resulting surface layer consists of a metal matrix and diamond nanoparticles embedded in it. The paper shows the study of the surface of a steel part using the optical and X-ray diffraction methods, and provides information on the change in the coefficient of friction of steel parts.

Провели холодную продольную прокатку полос из стали Ст3 на стане «400 СКМЗ» по двум маршрутам: с толщины 8 мм на толщину 2 мм и с толщины 6 мм на толщину 1,5 мм. Процесс прокатки проводили при равных диаметрах валков, равных частотах вращения и окружных скоростях (симметричная прокатка) и при разных диаметрах валков, разных частотах вращения и одинаковых окружных скоростях (асимметричная прокатка). По окончании прокаток исследовали микроструктуру и измеряли твердость материала прокатанных полос на установившейся стадии прокатки: у верхней и нижней поверхности полос по их краям и в середине по ширине (всего шесть областей для каждой полосы). По результатам исследований определили отличия в формируемой микроструктуре и значениях твердости полос после симметричной и асимметричной холодной прокатки. Ключевые слова: холодная продольная прокатка, симметричная прокатка, асимметричная прокатка, микроструктура, твердость, установившаяся стадия прокатки

Cold rolling of A57036 steel strip using “400 SKMZ” rolling mill was carried out according to two routes: (1) from 8 mm thickness to 2 mm thickness; (2) from 6 mm thickness to 1,5 mm thickness. Rolling was done by rolls of equal diameter and at equal angular velocity of rolls (symmetric rolling), and by rolls of different diameters, different angular velocity of rolls but equal circumferential speed of rolls (asymmetric rolling). The strips’ microstructure and hardness were measured after rolling at the stationary stage: the measurements were done near the edges and in the middle of the upper and lower surfaces of the strips (6 points for each strip totally). Difference in the strips’ hardness values and microstructure after symmetric and asymmetric rolling were evaluated as a result of the conducted research.

Di Indonesia, total sampah mencapai 19,14 juta ton pada tahun 2022. Mayoritas sampah tersebut berupa sisa makanan. Data global menunjukkan bahwa sampah buah dan sayuran adalah penyumbang terbesar limbah makanan dunia. Ternyata sampah organik juga, memiliki dampak lingkungan jika tidak dikelola dengan baik, seperti menghasilkan gas berbahaya seperti gas metana. Kejadian ledakan di Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA) Leuwigajah pada 2023 adalah contoh buruk dari pengelolaan sampah organik dan menghasilkan gas metana. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, umumnya sampah organik diolah  menjadi kompos, tetapi kurang diketahui bahwa sampah organik, terutama buah dan sayuran, dapat digunakan sebagai penyembuh luka alami melalui eco enzyme. Oleh karena itu, tim pengabdian mendampingi ibu-ibu rumah tangga di Semarang dalam mengolah sampah organik menjadi eco enzyme yang bisa membantu penyembuhan luka, termasuk pada penderita diabetes. Kegiatan ini dilakukan selama 6 bulan, melibatkan persiapan, pengadaan bahan, pendampingan pembuatan eco enzyme, monitoring, sosialisasi, dan evaluasi. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa peserta mampu mengolah sampah organik menjadi eco enzyme yang berguna sebagai penyembuh luka alami, yang dapat membantu penderita diabetes. Ini adalah langkah positif dalam pengelolaan sampah yang berkelanjutan sambil membantu mereka yang membutuhkan penyembuhan luka yang lebih baik.
