Introduction and purpose: High Flow Nasal Therapy is quite new respiratory support method, although recently it became more popular – especially during COVID-19 pandemic. Physiological mechanisms as well as main applications were observed and described in several randomized controlled trias and metaanalisys. The purpose of this review is to present fundamental studies and indicate applications of this method.

Brief description of the state of knowladge: Breathing mixture with a maximum flow 60l/min needs to be heated and humidified to protect the airways from dryness. Optimal humidity improves mucocilary clearance, reduces inflammation of the airways and energy expenditure, especially in acute respiratory failure. High flow nasal therapy may imrpove the mechanics of breathing also by washout of nasopharyngeal dead space and generating positive airway pressure during exhalation, which keeps airways open and prevents the alveoli from collapsing. High flow therapy can be use in many different applications but at Intensive Care Unit the most important are: acute hypoxemia, during extubation or rest breaks from NIV. It is important to monitor the patient and predict the need for intubation on time. There are physiological states that we shoud focus on: respiratory rate, dyspnea or work of breathing, but it is good to know ROX index which can be helpful to assess the success of the therapy.

Summary (conlcusions): High flow nasal therapy is a simple and safety respiratory support method that can be applicable at Intensive Care Units. It can lower the intubation numbers and help during NIV rest breaks. High flow nasal therapy is a very promising method for all patients with respiratory failure but it is important to monitor the patient and not delay the intubation.

Obesity has become the global pandemic of the world. The epidemiological rise has only happened in recent decades. Unfortunately, the disease affects people of all ages. The most prominent characteristics of the disorder are excessive fat accumulation, body mass index exceeding the number of 30, and general lowering of the quality of life. The consequences are observed in the whole organism. The disruptions affect one’s overall homeostasis. Certain diseases are specifically associated with excessive fat mass. When not properly managed, obesity leads to chronic illnesses and severe comorbidities, the most morbid one being death. Thus, effective therapeutic approaches are needed. Focus on education and physical activity are the best way to tackle this problem. The aim of this study is to check the factors and changes necessary to lose weight in obese patients in Poland. The main question regarded the role of sport and proper education in maintaining or losing weight in the Polish society. In order to analyse the issue, an Internet survey was prepared and disseminated in March and April 2023. Over half of the respondents have ever used a diet. Over 8 out of ten of them achieved the success in the set task. When asked about physical activity, the most respondents chose option 30-60 minutes per day. The preferred type of physical activity was most commonly walking. When asked if sport enabled the respondents to lose or maintain weight – 63,5% confirmed. 72% of respondents experienced education regarding healthy lifestyle, most commonly at home. Over 60% of respondents believed they were well informed about recommended behaviours. Over 50% of them confirmed their education is sufficient to lose weight. Maintaining healthy regimes is key to a healthy life. However, not all people are properly educated how to do that. In fact, there is a tendency of overestimation of one’s education in those topics. All in all, proper experience and routines are necessary.
A dessacralização no Auto da Compadecida: uma análise do teatro suassuniano e do filme de Guel Arraes
Authors: Andrade Alysson Jorge Alves de , Pereira Andrea Cristina Martins
Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a dessacralização no Auto da Compadecida, de Ariano Suassuna e no filme homônimo de Guel Arraes, discorrendo um pouco a respeito de originalidade e adaptação, temas importantes na construção do auto. A metodologia utilizada é de natureza bibliográfica crítica-teórica e videográfica e, como principais fundamentos, baseamo-nos em estudos de Mircea Eliade (2001), Margot Berthold (2004), José Carlos Avellar (2007) e Ariano Suassuna (2008). As análises constataram que a figura do Palhaço é muito importante para a realização do processo de dessacralização no auto; e por não estar presente na representação fílmica, devido à escolha do diretor Guel Arraes, faz com que o personagem João Grilo, no filme, tenha um papel de dessacralizar por meio de piadas com as figuras místicas e sagradas.

Direct oral anticoagulants in general practice
Authors: Gee Emma
Published: August 2023

Nurses prescribing these medications, used for stoke prevention in atrial fibrillation in general practice, must understand the risks surrounding them. This article outlines indications, side effects and monitoring.

Four direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are available in the UK and appear in National guidance as first line treatment for VTE and stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. They provide a more practical option than warfarin, with similar efficacy and safety profiles, with the additional advantage of significantly reduced risk of intracranial haemorrhage (Raschi et al 2016). DOACs are not suitable for patients with mechanical heart valves, antiphospholipid syndrome or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. DOACs work by inhibiting a single clotting factor, meaning their effects are more predictable than warfarin which works on several clotting factors. Bleeding is the main side effect and safety consideration of DOACs, with major bleeding occurring in around 1-4% of people taking DOACs ( Hellenbart et al 2017 ). Careful risk assessment, patient counselling and at least annual review of patients on DOACs can help to reduce their associated risks.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized under different pH and reaction time using the Garcinia cowa aqueous leaf extract. The formation, crystal structure and morphology of synthesized AgNPs were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The UV-Vis result indicated that the AgNPs were synthesized using Garcinia cowa aqueous leaf extract at all pH conditions within 10 min. The synthesis of AgNPs was signifi cantly affected by pH condition which was shown by the TEM micrographs. The particle sizes of AgNPs were in a nano-sized range; 6.30 ± 3.52 nm for pH 4, 3.87 ± 2.51 nm for pH 7 and 13.97 ± 11.84 nm for pH 10. Furthermore, the AgNPs prepared in pH 4, pH 7 and pH 10 (120 min reaction time) at different concentrations were assessed for their antifungal activity against durian dieback pathogen. It was found that the 800 mL/L of AgNPs prepared at pH 7, the smallest particle size and good dispersion, showed the highest inhibition mycelial growth at 47.33%, whereas the larger nanoparticles prepared at pH 4 and pH 10 conditions showed lower inhibition of mycelial growth at 43.22% and 32.55%, respectively.

The symptoms of “shot hole leaves” and “excess bud growth” in Arabica coffee have signifi cantly increased in northern Thailand since 2017, resulting in the death of shoots and reduced fl owering, ultimately leading to yield loss. This study investigates whether the “shot hole leaves” symptom is caused by the tea mosquito bug (Helopeltis theivora Waterhouse) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) by rearing tea mosquito bugs with coffee and reproducing the same symptoms under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, we examine whether the “shot hole leaves” symptom is associated with the “excess bud growth” symptom in the fi eld. Our results show that H. theivora can complete their life cycle on Arabica coffee trees. Female bugs lay an average of 87.60±41.82 eggs underneath the soft tissue near young leaves on coffee branches, with a hatching rate of 73.97±6.69%, and an average incubation period of 8.20±0.97 days. The longevity of the fi rst to fi fth nymphal stages was 4.02±1.58, 3.36±0.93, 3.27±0.74, 3.23±0.96, and 3.83±1.18 days, respectively. The adult bugs had a lifespan ranging from 2 to 24 days, with an average of 11.61±7.89 days. The “shot hole leaves” symptom appear approximately 14 days after H. theivora begin feeding on young coffee shoots. We found that the bud number is signifi cantly higher on twigs with the symptom, indicating that both symptoms are caused by H. theivora. The study concludes by discussing control practices of H. theivora on coffee trees.

Published: August 2023

Antenatal care (ANC) provides a platform for important health care during pregnancy, including health promotion, screening, diagnosis and disease prevention. Timely and appropriate utilization of antenatal care can prevent complications as well as ensure optimal maternal and newborn health care. This study assessed the effectiveness of interactive (two way communication) mobile health technologies during antenatal period to improve maternal and newborn service utilization in Dodoma region, Tanzania. Using quasi-experimental design, participants were randomly selected to achieve a sample size of 450 pregnant women (Intervention = 150 and Control = 300) in Dodoma city from January to November, 2018. Interventions were matched to controls by gravidity, education level and gestational age at a ratio of 1 to 2. The intervention group received health education messages through their mobile phones, while the control group continued with standard antenatal care services offered in local clinics. Pregnant women were followed from their initial visit to the point of delivery. The Chi-square test was used to establish the association and regression analysis were used to test the effect of the intervention. The median age of participants was found to be 25 years that ranged from 16 to 41 years. Generally, 77.3 percent of participants in the intervention group utilized adequate (i. ANC care provided by skilled health personnel, ii. Sufficient number of ANC visits (4 or more visits during pregnancy), iii. Appropriate ANC contents provided (visits included at least 13 out of 15 of the recommended basic care procedures or contents) ANC services compared to 57.7 percent in the control group. Interactive mobile health technology system was observed to be effective on improving antenatal care service utilization (AOR = 2.164, P<0.05, 95% CI = 1.351–3.466) compared to conventional antenatal care health education given in local health facilities. Use of interactive mobile health technologies during antenatal period has the potential of improving access to information and antenatal care service utilization in the study setting.

Background

Adequate knowledge and proper practices coupled with knowledge of the burden of disease are necessary for the eradication of Schistosoma infection. This study assessed knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) as well as health outcomes related to Schistosoma haematobium infection at Kwahu Afram Plains North District (KAPND).

Methods

A cross-sectional survey using a structured questionnaire was carried out among 140 participants from four local communities in KAPND in August 2021. From these participants, 10ml of urine was collected for determination of the presence of S. haematobium and urine routine examination. In addition, 4ml of blood was collected and used for haematological examination. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis using IBM SPSS were used to describe and represent the data collected.

Results

The study reports a gap in knowledge about schistosomiasis in the study area with the majority indicating that they have not heard of schistosomiasis (60.7%), do not know the mode of transmission (49.3%), and do not know how the disease could be spread (51.5%). The overall prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis was 52.9%. This was associated with age, occupation, perceived mode of Schistosoma transmission, knowledge of Schistosoma prevention, awareness that schistosomiasis can be treated, frequency of visits to water bodies, and water usage patterns. In multivariate analysis, factors that remained significantly associated with S. haematobium infection were age 21–40 (OR  =  0.21, 95% CI: 0.06–0.76), 41–60 (OR  =  0.01, 95% CI: 0.01–0.52) and ≥ 60 (OR  =  0.02, 95% CI: 0.02–0.87), informal employment (OR  =  0.01, 95% CI: 0.01–0.69) and awareness of transmission by drinking water from river body (OR  =  0.03, 95% CI: 0.03–0.92). In Schistosoma infection, reduced haemoglobin, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, lymphocytes and eosinophils were observed. White blood cells, neutrophils, and monocytes were significantly elevated in infected states. Urine analysis revealed high pus cells and red blood cells counts among Schistosoma-positive participants.

Conclusion

Schistosoma infection is endemic among inhabitants in KAPND, and is associated with a gap in knowledge, awareness, and practice possibly due to inadequate education in the area. Poor clinical outcomes associated with Schistosoma infection have been demonstrated in the area. A well-structured public education, nutritional intervention, and mass drug administration will be necessary to eradicate this menace.

Published: August 2023

Carlsberg subtilisin from Bacillus licheniformis PB1 was investigated as a potential feed supplement, through immobilizing on bentonite for improving the growth rate of broilers. Initially, the pre-optimized and partially-purified protease was extracted and characterized using SDS-PAGE with MW 27.0 KDa. The MALDI-TOF-MS/MS spectrum confirmed a tryptic peptide peak with m/z 1108.496 referring to the Carlsberg subtilisin as a protein-digesting enzyme with alkaline nature. The highest free enzyme activity (30 U/mg) was observed at 50°C, 1 M potassium phosphate, and pH 8.0. the enhanced stability was observed when the enzyme was adsorbed to an inert solid support with 86.39 ± 4.36% activity retention under 20 optimized conditions. Additionally, the dried immobilized enzyme exhibited only a 5% activity loss after two-week storage at room temperature. Structural modeling (Docking) revealed that hydrophobic interactions between bentonite and amino acids surrounding the catalytic triad keep the enzyme structure intact upon drying at RT. The prominent hygroscopic nature of bentonite facilitated protein structure retention upon drying. During a 46-days study, supplementation of boilers’ feed with the subtilisin–bentonite complex promoted significant weight gain i.e. 15.03% in contrast to positive control (p = 0.001).
Overall maternal morbidity during pregnancy using the WHO-WOICE tools
Authors: Hababa Hanane , Assarag Bouchra
Published: August 2023

Introduction

The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of nonsevere maternal morbidities (including overall health, domestic and sexual violence, functionality, and mental health) in women during antenatal care in rural versus urban areas. This study aimed to describe the factors that affect women’s health during pregnancy by administration of the WHO’s WOICE 2.0 instrument.

Methods

This was a cross sectional study conducted at perinatal care health centers in Morocco (5 in rural and 5 in urban). We recruited n = 257 women in the third trimester of their pregnancy using a questionnaire developed by the WHO to assess maternal morbidity, which includes various instruments that measure different aspects of maternal health. This tool evaluates the functionality and ability to perform daily tasks includes a tool that evaluates mental health, the General Anxiety Disorder 7-item test (GAD-7), and the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), to assess depression. Data on health conditions and socio-demographic characteristics were collected through structured interview, medical record review, and clinical examination. This paper presents descriptive data on the distribution of functioning status among antepartum women.

Results

In all, 257 women at a mean age of 30 years were included, and the majority had a partner (98%) and primary education (68.48%). Over one third of the population cannot read. Exposure to violence occurred in 12.23%. Sexual dissatisfaction was reported by 28.20% of antepartum women. Overall, women reported very good and good health (39.69%), and more than third had a medical condition (39.69%). There was an overall rate of anxiety in 83.65%, depression in 43.57%. Based on the χ2 test, Fisher exact test, or Kruskal-Wallis test, there was a significant relationship between the distribution of depression (p<0.001) and sexual satisfaction (p<0.01) between urban and rural women.

Conclusion

Considering these results, antepartum depression and anxiety were highly prevalent in our sample and contributed substantially to perceived disability. These serious threats to health must be further investigated and more data are needed to comprehensively quantify the problem in Morocco.

Authors: Sheikh Naveen Siddique , Touseef Mumtaz , Sultan Riddah , Cheema Kanwal Hassan , Cheema Sidra Shafiq , Sarwar Afia , Siddique Haniya Zainab
Published: August 2023

Background and objectives

Vaccine hesitancy is a big obstacle for vaccination programs, as is anticipated for the COVID-19 vaccination program, resulting in low uptake of vaccines thereby hindering the process of reaching herd immunity. Bearing this in mind the current study was aimed to explore the determinants of vaccine hesitancy amongst the Pakistani population.

Methodology

A cross-sectional study was carried out from November 2020 to March 2021. The conceptual framework of the study was based on the 3Cs (Confidence, Convenience, Complacency) model. The google-forms-based questionnaire was disseminated amongst the general population. Data collected were entered into SPSS version 26 and analyzed.

Results

Of the 421 participants, 68.4% were women. Non-healthcare workers were 55.8% of respondents. Of vaccine-hesitant individuals, 26.13% reported they were very unlikely to get vaccinated. Perception of COVID-19 vaccine was explored, which revealed 12.6% of individuals agreed the vaccine was not safe as it came out too fast, 50.6% were worried about experiencing side-effects, 18% believed the vaccine will not offer protection and 5.9% believed the vaccine would cause death. Low Practice of standard operating procedure (SOP) in non-Healthcare workers was the strongest contributor to vaccine hesitancy (OR: 5.338, p = 0.040, 95% CI: 1.082–26.330) followed by High complacency (p = 0.026) and Moderate Complacency (OR: 0.212, p = 0.007, 95% CI: 0.069–0.654) towards COVID-19 vaccination. In Healthcare workers the strongest contributor to vaccine hesitancy was having a Moderate Confidence (OR: 0.323, p = 0.042, 95% CI: 0.109–0.958) in the vaccine followed by Moderate Convenience (OR: 0.304, p = 0.049, 95% CI: 0.093–0.993) for vaccination.

Conclusion

Campaigning and communication strategies to reaffirm confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine and educating the general population about the vaccine could lead to increased perception of vaccine safety and effectiveness thereby restoring confidence in vaccine and decreasing vaccine hesitancy. Likewise, working to increase vaccine convenience and decreasing complacency towards the COVID-19 vaccine would translate into high vaccine uptake.

MeSH words

Vaccine hesitancy; vaccination intention, COVID-19 vaccine, vaccine confidence, complacency, convenience.
A deep dive into the use of local positioning system in professional handball: Automatic detection of players’ orientation, position and game phases to analyse specific physical demands

Published: August 2023

The objective of this study is to automate and analyse the quantification of external load during an elite men’s handball match. This study was carried out using data from a local positioning system and inertial measurement units. The literature review leads us to assume that physical demands are different depending on position, player specialty and phases of the game. In order to do this analysis, raw data was used from professional competitors of a Spanish club during National and European competition matches. First, a game phase algorithm was designed to automate phase recognition. Then, a descriptive evaluation of the means and standard deviation was performed with the following variables: total distance, total time, total Accel’Rate, the percentages of distance and time per speed and displacement direction. A Kruskal Wallis test was applied to normalized distance and normalized Accel’Rate. Defensive play showed the highest values on covered distance (930.6 ± 395.0 m). However, normalized distance showed significant differences (p<0.05) across all phases with defensive play (558.8 ± 53.9 m/10min) lower than offensive play (870.3 ± 145.7 m/10min), offensive transition (1671.3 ± 242.0 m/10min) or defensive transition (1604.5 ± 242.0 m/10min). Regarding position, wing players covered the most distance (2925.8 ± 998.8 m) at the second highest intensity (911.4 ± 63.3 m/10min) after offensive back players (1105.0 ± 84.9 m/10min). Significant difference in normalized requirements were found between each playing position: goalkeepers, wings, versatile backs, versatile line players, offensive backs and defensive backs (p<0.05), so a separation between offensive or defensive specialists is plausible and necessary. In conclusion, as physical demands differ for each game phase, activity profile among players is modulated by their playing position and their specialty (offense, defense or none). This study may help to create individual training programs according to precise on-court demands.

Published: August 2023

Background & aims

Studies have determined that people with genetically defined lactase non-persistence have lower dairy intake that may lead to an increase risk of various non-communicable diseases. Furthermore, lactase non-persistence itself has been associated with insulin resistance. However, data on lactase non-persistence status and dairy intake in developing countries are sparse. We therefore aimed to define 1) the prevalence of lactase non-persistence among individuals with diabetes and non-diabetes in Thai population and 2) the links between lactase non-persistence, milk consumption, and risk of diabetes mellitus.

Methods

We conducted a case-control study from participants of the National Health Examination Survey. DNA was isolated from the blood for LCT −13910C>T (rs4988235) polymorphism and processed using the Bio-rad c1000 touch thermal cycler and MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry MassARRAY Typer v4.0 (Agena Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) at the Center for Medical Genomics, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital. Cases were participants with previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus or fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL (n = 1,756) vs. the controls (n = 2,380).

Results

We included 4,136 participants, 62% female, and 98.8% were > 30 years old. Homozygous CC genotype (i.e., lactase non-persistence) was noted in 98.6% and only 1.4% carried heterozygous CT. Most (76%) consumed milk <1 portion/month. Participants with either CC or CT genotype had comparable milk consumption and the risk of diabetes mellitus. Males, older adults, and lower education had a lower chance of consuming milk at least one portion per month. Besides various baseline variables, we found that higher milk consumption was associated with a lower DM risk (P = .01).

Conclusion

The prevalence of lactase non-persistence in Thai population is very high. A significant difference in milk consumption frequency in relation to the lactase non-persistence status was not found. However, higher milk consumption is associated with a lower risk of diabetes mellitus.

Culturas indígenas na escola: desafios e (re) descobertas para uma educação antirracista
Authors: Verástegui Cinthya
Published: August 2023

As questões raciais no Brasil explicitam as relações históricas de dominação e lutas dos povos africanos e indígenas, duas das vertentes a partir das quais se formou o povo brasileiro. Ao atuar em sala de aula, observou-se a presença de relações preconceituosas e estereotipadas sobre as culturas indígenas pelas crianças, o que motivou o desenvolvimento do presente trabalho. Este ocorreu de maneira qualitativa, por meio da construção compartilhada do conhecimento, desenvolvido entre pesquisas e momentos de práticas culturais. É possível perceber que as visões estereotipadas sobre os povos indígenas, bem como as relações de preconceito, derivam do desconhecimento da ancestralidade das próprias crianças e suas famílias, e da necessidade da formação continuada dos professores que já atuam nas redes de ensino.
As escrevivências de jovens escritoras oriundas do Ensino Médio: um olhar sobre as práticas de letramento em um contexto de escola pública

O relato de experiência foi registrado durante a pandemia, a partir das reflexões de uma educadora entusiasmada com o reencontro de sua própria semente criança. Inspirada nos últimos quarenta anos da minha existência e nas inúmeras possibilidades por vir, escolhi aproximar a escrita do ciclo de uma árvore. Sementes, raízes, tronco, florescer, voar. A ideia disparadora de um voo metafórico. Enraizada, ao mesmo tempo que em permanente movimento. É sobre algo que vive em nós quando nascemos e acompanha toda a nossa trajetória. Até a morte. Para depois voltar à terra e ser semente de outra vida. Quais são as oportunidades que mantém pulsante a nossa condição inicial, de semente criança?
Cultura digital e os desafios no currículo: tecnologia e criatividade no ensino fundamental 1
Authors: MARTINS RICARDO DIAS PACHECO
Published: August 2023

A Cultura Digital trouxe o mundo para a palma da mão, mas milhares de dúvidas às cabeças. O mundo laboral se transformou; a família percebeu alterações no modo de se relacionar e a escola ainda patina em relação ao assunto. Se faltava uma posição do Ministério da Educação, foi lançado em 2017 e atualizada para versão final em 2018, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular, que se mostra favorável ao uso das mídias digitais por parte da escola. De quem é a culpa agora então? Este artigo mostra como o gestor pode aproveitar ao máximo os aparatos tecnológicos para um currículo atrativo e que cause participação. Para chegar a esse ponto, a discussão começou com o levantamento sobre o papel da escola, com base em pesquisa que buscou os termos currículo, cultura e tecnologia.  Mostrou-se que à escola cabe preparar o ser para assumir seu papel no mundo, o que não significa exclusivamente qual profissão exercerá. O trabalho conclui que a criatividade alia os gestores aos demais pesquisadores da área da tecnologia, ou seja, deixando linha para prosseguir nesse estudo.Palavras-chave: ensino criativo; gestão escolar.

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma reflexão emtópicos, com abordagem de tonalidade filosófica, queaponta na direção de entender as práticas antirracistascomo desdobramentos de elementos maiores nas relaçõesde ensino-aprendizagem: a intencionalidade antirracista eo propósito antirracista. Esses conceitos são atrelados ao“método de cartografias” apresentado sob a ótica da artistaeducadora Sumaya Mattar, com o intuito de desvelar taisentendimentos pelo modo como propõe essa autora. E porfim rascunha uma proposta de diferenciação entre as ideiasde “combate” e “resistência”, que podem ser entendidas notermo “antirracista”, afirmando que a segunda, tendo porbase o pensamento de Gilles Deleuze, é uma forma em devirde prática antirracista, e por isso dotada de uma potência deato criador.

Teknologi robotik telah mengalami kemajuan pesat terutama pada bidang tangan robot yang kini digunakan secara luas di berbagai industri seperti medis, manufaktur, farmasi, dan logistik. Tangan robot hadir dalam berbagai jenis dan model yang dirancang khusus untuk aplikasi tertentu. Tangan robot diharapkan dapat meniru bahkan melampaui fungsi tangan manusia. Semakin kompleks tugas yang dapat dilakukan oleh tangan robot, semakin kompleks pula perancangan sistem kendalinya terutama dalam pemrogramannya. Salah satu fungsi penting dari tangan robot adalah pengendalian gaya cengkeraman. Kompleksitas desain sistem kendali tangan robot disebabkan oleh perbedaan aktuator dan sensor yang digunakan serta spesifikasi setiap komponen. Pemrograman tangan robot dengan banyak variabel memakan waktu yang lama dan rentan terhadap konflik. Tantangan utama adalah menentukan posisi optimal robot saat memiliki cengkeraman yang tepat pada benda kerja. Solusi yang diusulkan adalah sistem pembelajaran kontrol genggaman menggunakan Reinforcement Learning. Penggunaan episode selama pelatihan mempengaruhi konvergensi atau pendekatan ke nilai optimal untuk menggenggam benda kerja. Peningkatan jumlah episode menghasilkan konvergensi yang lebih baik namun waktu pelatihan robot yang lebih lama. Hasil uji validasi menunjukkan tingkat keberhasilan 10 dari 10 percobaan dengan 2 di antaranya tidak stabil.
