Authors: Cheirmadurai K. , Praveenkumar K. , Uvanarayanan C. , Anand P. Suya Prem , Manivasagam Geetha
Published: May 2024

The selection of suitable biomaterials and implants is the most important
criterion to achieve success in biomedical engineering. Several factors such as high
specific strength, high corrosion resistance, enhanced wear resistance, biodegradability,
and biocompatibility need to be considered before choosing the material for biomedical
applications. The biomaterials are developed from metals, metal alloys, ceramics, and
polymers based on specific applications. In the orthopedic field, inert materials have
been used in earlier times that showed minimal cell-material interaction, and bioinert
materials were preferred to avoid immune rejection and increase the success rate.
Metallic alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V, 316 stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium are
frequently used in the fabrication of bone implants. Metal alloys have problems like
corrosion and are less bioactive. In recent years, the concept of regeneration has been
developed and it is entirely based on cell-material interactions, and the selected
materials need to exert bioactivity. Regenerative materials are prepared from
biodegradable metals, polymers, and ceramics. Numerous techniques have been
developed recently to convert a bioinert material into bioactive or regenerative
material. Smart materials and implants with bioactive surfaces are also getting more
attention in the orthopedic field. This chapter throws light on two fields that have
contributed to bone replacement and regeneration. An overview of the bioinert
implants in the orthopedic industry and the current development of bioinert into
bioactive and immunomodulating materials will be discussed. The future aspects
describe the role of smart materials for bone regeneration in detail.

Authors: Indira Arun Dinesh , Pammi Chakravarthy , Raju Arockia Kumar
Published: May 2024

Smart and intelligent materials provide direct or indirect solutions for many
of the current/existing problems. Studies in this line have been in progress since few
decades developing multifunctional materials, smart systems etc., for specific
applications. Though many smart materials were developed, not much of them are
compatible as implants in human body. One such material that possesses the inherent
requirements attuned with human body is ‘hydrogel’. Like other smart materials, gels
can also be intelligent in their responses to the environments they are exposed to, or on
influence of any induced stimuli. Many such smart gels are explored by various
industries and are used for applications such as drug delivery systems, cancer therapy,
tissue engineering and organ printing, but a comprehensive understanding with
properties, and their mechanisms regarding their functionality and usage are meagre.
This work consolidates and details the classification of gels and elaborates the various
stimuli to which gels respond and the mechanisms involved. This article also explores
the possibilities, prospects of 3D-printing of smart gels in biomedical field and has
listed the possible applications of hydrogels.

Published: May 2024

Strength and ductility of materials at high strain rate of deformation are
important for design engineers working in a wide range of industries, especially in gas
turbine engine blades. Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus is a popular
method of characterizing the high strain rate behaviour of materials. The results from
the split-Hokinson pressure bar tests are further used in mathematical models such as
Johnson-Cook model, Zerelli - Armstrong model and so on for correlation purposes.
Split-Hopkinson pressure bar tests take place in a very short duration of time (less than
a second) but require significant effort in arranging the apparatus (several hours to
days) and replications could be a daunting task. The present review work focuses on
some of the critical test parameters that influence the test results. Specimen
dimensions, its alignment in the split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus and location of
strain gauges are critical parameters to be checked before the test (pre-testing) while
selecting the accurate signal data processing technique (post-testing) to filter the noise
which is critical to get meaningful test results. This review work focuses on the effect
of three pre-testing parameters and signal data processing techniques on the high strain
rate test results and summarizes the salient findings.

Authors: Fiosa Putra  , Aris Nasuha
Published: May 2024

Strawberries are a fruit that is a superior commodity in growing the economy in Indonesia. However, there was a decline in strawberry production from 2017 to 2021. This was due to constraints in the conventional cultivation process and environmental controls that were not yet optimal. This research focuses on designing an automated system for cultivating strawberries in containers using several sensors. The sensors used are the EC sensor to measure hydroponic nutrient levels, the pH sensor to measure water acidity, and the DHT22 sensor to measure temperature and humidity. Sensor data is sent to the server using IoT technology. Data is also visualized through an Android application that can be monitored from anywhere and at any time. The design of the automation system, named Amanda Mini, delivers the right amount of nutrients so that the health and nutrition of strawberry plants are sufficient. Water flow is carried out automatically using water supply pumps, sample pumps, stirrer pumps, and plant pumps. In this way, the Amanda Mini automation system facilitates hydroponic strawberry cultivation activities, which can increase strawberry production.

Authors: Nasrulloh Azhar  , Purno Tri Aji
Published: May 2024

Quadruped is a robot that can move stably and flexibly on various types of surfaces. However, when quadruped encounters an uneven surface, it needs a good navigation system to get through it. The analysis of increasing the performance of the quadruped robot is based on the addition of the CMPS12 sensor for navigation. The CMPS12 sensor is used to measure the direction of the robot's orientation. Tests were carried out on four types of obstacles, namely broken road obstacles, sloping road obstacles, rocky road obstacles, and muddy road obstacles. The results of testing the robot on broken road obstacles obtained a maximum slope for the pitch axis of 13◦ forward, −21◦ to the rear and for the roll axis at a slope of 24◦ to the left and −19◦ to the right. On inclined road obstacles, the robot can pass through obstacles with an average travel time of 8.07 seconds with a maximum slope of 25◦ on the pitch axis. Then, on the rocky road obstacle, the robot can pass the obstacle with an average travel time of 8.13 seconds, with a maximum slope of 9◦ on the pitch axis and 8◦ on the roll axis. Then, on a muddy road obstacle, the robot can pass the obstacle with an average travel time of 11.67 seconds, with a maximum slope of 15◦ on the pitch axis and −6◦ on the roll axis.

Authors: Abid Sahulata Lingga Sakti  , Riswanda Himawan
Published: May 2024

Literary works can depict various phenomena from various sectors, including cultural, social, political, psychological, and religious. Interestingly, in the research of literary works and religion, it is often distinguished between religion and non-religion, even though religion in literary works is universal. Therefore, this study aims to explain the dimensional aspects of religiosity in Abidah El Khalieqy's novels. The type of research is descriptive qualitative, using the religiosity theory approach by Glock and Stark. The data sources of this research are the novels Geni Jora, Mataraisa, Bait-Bait Multazam, and Santri Cengkir. Data collection uses reading and note-taking techniques, while this study uses human interest. Data validity is interrater and interrater techniques. Data analysis uses the method of comparing data, categorizing, presenting data, and making inferences. The results of this study show that religiosity in Abidah El Khalieqy's novels related to the five dimensions of Glock and Stark consists of a belief dimension, a belief practice dimension, a science dimension, an experience dimension, and an experience effect dimension. The conclusion explains that Glock and Stark's multidimensional typology of religiosity dimensions is universal in the treasures of Islamic culture. The problem presented in the novel is the problem between characters in achieving the lost dimension of religiosity, which functions as a human value and transcendence in obtaining the lost dimension in life.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

The risk factors for oropharyngeal gonorrhea have not been examined in sex workers despite the increasing prevalence of gonorrhea infection.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to determine the risk factors for oropharyngeal gonorrhea in female and gender-diverse sex workers (including cisgender and transgender women, nonbinary and gender fluid sex workers, and those with a different identity) and examine kissing, oral sex, and mouthwash practices with clients.

METHODS

This mixed methods case-control study was conducted from 2018 to 2020 at 2 sexual health clinics in Melbourne, Victoria, and Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. We recruited 83 sex workers diagnosed with oropharyngeal gonorrhea (cases) and 581 sex workers without (controls). Semistructured interviews with 19 sex workers from Melbourne were conducted.

RESULTS

In the case-control study, the median age of 664 sex workers was 30 (IQR 25-36) years. Almost 30% of sex workers (192/664, 28.9%) reported performing condomless fellatio on clients. Performing condomless fellatio with clients was the only behavior associated with oropharyngeal gonorrhea (adjusted odds ratio 3.6, 95% CI 1.7-7.6; P=.001). Most participants (521/664, 78.5%) used mouthwash frequently. In the qualitative study, almost all sex workers reported kissing clients due to demand and generally reported following clients’ lead with regard to kissing style and duration. However, they used condoms for fellatio because they considered it a risky practice for contracting sexually transmitted infections, unlike cunnilingus without a dental dam.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study shows that condomless fellatio is a risk factor for oropharyngeal gonorrhea among sex workers despite most sex workers using condoms with their clients for fellatio. Novel interventions, particularly targeting the oropharynx, will be required for oropharyngeal gonorrhea prevention.
Kinetic optimization of angkak – red ginger extraction and its impact on antioxidant activity
Authors: Missy Felesia , Fahrurroji Andhi , Nugraha Fajar , Anastasia Desy Siska
Published: May 2024

A mixture of angkak and red ginger is a Chinese herbal concoction with potential as an antioxidant. This herbal combination can be extracted using the kinetic hot maceration method by optimizing the stirring speed to be more efficient. Previous studies have shown that using 400, 600, and 800 rpm stirring speeds provides the best IC50 and yield. Based on these problems, this research aims to determine the effect of increasing stirring speed on IC50 and % yield in the extraction of angkak and red ginger, as well as prove the benefits of this herbal combination through the IC50 value. The method used is extracting a mixture of angkak and red ginger at kinetic variations of 400, 600, and 800 rpm using a magnetic hotplate stirrer at a temperature of 60ºC for 2 hours; determination of % yield; determining the chromatogram profile using TLC; determination of antioxidant activity using DPPH; as well as data analysis of percentage yield and IC50 using SPSS. Analysis using SPSS shows that the stirring speed significantly affects the % yield, where increasing the moving speed above 400 rpm results in a decrease in the % yield. However, the moving speed does not affect the IC50. The TLC chromatogram profile shows the presence of 6-gingerol compounds in angkak and red and yellow pigment compounds in red ginger, which have potential as antioxidants. The optimization results in this study obtained optimal % yield and IC50 at 400 rpm with average values, respectively, namely 15.933 ± 3.4771% and 103.76 ± 10.032 ppm, and the combination of angkak and red ginger ingredients can work synergistically to increase yield and antioxidant.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: Are you aware that violations of safe driving regulations account for over half of all traffic accidents? However, what if we gave drivers who adhere to those guidelines rewards? It might significantly impact the number of accidents brought on by careless driving. To improve our understanding of how people drive, researchers are also examining how data from automobile cameras may be used. However, the amount of data we collect makes it more difficult to use data science and artificial intelligence to examine it all. In this article, we discuss how we're creating tools to support that analysis and how we might use the data to comprehend the factors that affect people's driving behaviors. We are essentially developing a system that receives video from automobile cameras, interprets it, and then assists us in determining which types of driving pose a risk. To be able to identify dangerous drivers could significantly contribute to making our roads safer for everyone, as driving behavior plays a major role in the majority of crashes. Therefore, improving our understanding of driving behavior could have a revolutionary impact on road safety and the reduction of fatalities and accidents.

Fe modeling of shock waves
Authors: Syla Naim , Dalipi Bashkim , Aliaj Fisnik , Syla Dhurata
Published: May 2024

Among the well-known methods in medicine is the application of mechanical waves, as well as ultrasound and shock wave methods. It is known that the characteristics of mechanical waves are determined by amplitude and frequency. If the frequency of the wave is above 20000Hz, then it cannot be heard by the human ear. These waves are called ultrasounds. The basic principle of ultrasound application in medicine is that different tissues or foreign bodies (eg. stones) reflect ultrasound waves differently. In ultrasonography, reflected ultrasound waves are recorded by transducers and translated into a recorded image. On the other hand, if the mechanical wave propagates through a medium with a speed greater than the speed of sound propagated through that medium, then we have the shock wave. In this case, the waves produce an instantaneous increase in pressure or energy for very short intervals of time. These energetic impulses are usually applied in medicine to break kidney stones or urinary channels stones. The basic principle of the application is to focus the energy impulse of the wave on the places where the stones are found and hit them. During shock, the stones are broken and these can come out through the urinary channels. Such a method is called lithotripsy, while the device is called a lithotripter. In this contribution, we modelled the shock waves according to the FE method, while the simulation was done in the ANSYS application.

Los productos artísticos elaborados fueron un cuento ilustrado y un póster interactivo logrados por medio de talleres participativos donde se exploró la escritura creativa, la ilustración y la composición gráfica empleando la técnica del realismo mágico. Los cambios de conocimiento, conciencia y acción de las audiencias en el ámbito no formal fueron evaluados a través de la prueba de McNemar y en el ámbito informal mediante la medición de la interacción de la audiencia infantil con el material artístico. La prueba estadística demostró resultados altamente significativos, pero además se evidenció que el arte es un buen instrumento educativo porque atrae a las personas, permite una mayor expresión y rompe barreras. Sin embargo, para que el arte sea un instrumento eficaz de la Educación Ambiental requiere la integración de aspectos cognitivos, así como estar orientado a la adquisición de buenas prácticas ambientales.

Authors: Corrales Benavides Natalia Carolina
Published: May 2024

Introducción: Los laboratorios se han constituido en escenarios colaborativos para gestionar soluciones a problemas sociales. Son espacios de sinergia entre distintas disciplinas y stakeholders bajo metodologías de experimentación. Metodología: esta investigación conceptualiza los Laboratorios de Innovación Pública y Social como centros de ideación y creación de soluciones a problemáticas. La metodología usada en esta revisión fue la de Tranfield (Tranfield et al., 2003). Se utilizó el software de codificación de la información NVIVO y se generaron matrices analíticas para sintetizar los hallazgos. Resultados: Los resultados evidencian que tanto los laboratorios públicos y sociales enmarcan sus procesos en el trabajo colaborativo y en la incorporación de metodologías relacionadas a la experimentación. Las limitaciones de esta revisión consisten en una asimetría en la información, se ha investigado más a los Policy labs que a los otros laboratorios del sector público.
ILMU SABUKU, A LOCAL TAREKAT PRACTICED FOR CENTURIES BY THE BANJAR SOCIETY, SOUTHERN KALIMANTAN
Authors: Ahmad
Published: May 2024

Ilmu Sabuku is a spiritually nuanced Sufist from the Banjar community in southern Kalimantan, Indonesia. Ilmu Sabuku has become an integral part of religious practice, playing a role in shaping Banjar Muslim society's beliefs and way of life. Ilmu Sabuku has become a form of local Sufism that emphasises the importance of spiritual purification and achieving inner knowledge. Ilmu Sabuku teachings offer a deep understanding of the relationship between the self and the divine, as well as ways to work towards enlightenment and spiritual growth. Based on an ethnographic approach and data gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and related documents, the result highlights the significant role of  Ilmu Sabuku in the religious, social, and daily life practices of the Banjar community. Even some people consider Ilmu Sabuku a "deviated" practice, but it has survived to this day. Some groups even openly keep teaching through religious meetings, through oral and written learning, as well as through visual audio, while others promote it secretly through traditional medicine and exorcism.
Postpartum haemorrhage and risk of cardiovascular disease in later life: A Scottish population-based record linkage cohort study
Authors: Latt Su Mon , Opondo Charles , Alderdice Fiona , Kurinczuk Jennifer , Rowe Rachel
Published: May 2024

Objective To investigate the association between postpartum
haemorrhage (PPH) and subsequent cardiovascular disease. Design
Population-based retrospective cohort study, using record linkage
between Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal Databank (AMND) and Scottish
healthcare datasets Setting Grampian region, Scotland
Population or Sample 70,904 women who gave birth after 24 weeks
of gestation, 1986-2016 Methods We used extended Cox regression
models to investigate the association between PPH in any first or later
births and subsequent cardiovascular disease, adjusted for
sociodemographic, medical, and pregnancy and birth-related factors.
Main outcome measures Cardiovascular disease identified from
prescription of selected cardiovascular medications, hospital discharge
records or death from cardiovascular disease. Results Compared
with not having a PPH, having at least one PPH was associated with an
increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the first year
after birth [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.96, 95% confidence
interval (CI) 1.51-2.53, p<0.001]. The association was
attenuated over time, but strong evidence of increased risk remained 2-5
years (aHR 1.19, 95% CI 1.11-1.30, p<0.001) and 6-15 years
after giving birth (aHR 1.17, 95% CI 1.05-1.30, p=0.005), with the
direction of association reversed beyond 15 years (aHR 0.64, 95% CI
0.55-0.75, p<0.001). Conclusions Compared with women
who have never had a PPH, women who have had at least one episode of PPH
are twice as likely to develop cardiovascular disease in the first year
after birth and some increased risk persists for up to 15 years.

Objective Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Rhinovirus (RV)
remained notable persistence, maintaining its presence while other
seasonal respiratory viruses were largely suppressed by pandemic
restrictions during national lockdowns. This research explores the
epidemiological dynamics of RV infections among pediatric populations on
Hainan Island, China, specifically focusing on the impact before and
after the zero-COVID policy was lifted. Methods From January
2021 to December 2023, 19,680 samples were collected from pediatric
patients hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infections
(ARTIs) at the Hainan Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The infection
of RV was detected by tNGS. RV species and subtypes were identified in
32 RV-positive samples representing diverse time points by analyzing the
VP4/VP2 partial regions. Results Among the 19,680 pediatric
inpatients with ARTIs analyzed, 21.55% were found to be positive for RV
infection, with notable peaks observed in April 2021 and November 2022.
A gradual annual decline in RV infections was observed, alongside a
seasonal pattern of higher prevalence during the colder months. The
highest proportion of RV infections was observed in the 0-1 year age
group. Phylogenetic analysis revealed 23 distinct RV subtypes, with a
shift in dominance from RV-A to RV-C in 2022, suggesting evolving RV
dynamics. Conclusions The research emphasizes the necessity for
ongoing surveillance and targeted management, particularly for
populations highly susceptible to severe illnesses caused by RV
infections.
The efficiency and effectiveness of health systems in response of the COVID-19 pandemic: Good Governance and Economic Freedom effects
Authors: Gallego Juan Cándido Gómez , Gallego María Gómez
Published: May 2024

The pandemic generated by COVID-19 has affected the way of life of
citizens of all countries of the world and in all areas of society.
Although the health crisis has been global, the different contexts and
the different national responses implemented by governments have had
heterogeneous results. The objective of this work is to find evidence
about the characteristics of the countries associated with a better
performance in the scene of Pandemia, similar to COVID-19. In
particular, we analyze to what extent the economic freedom and good
governance of countries can condition an effective and efficient
management of the pandemic. Results The results show a
significant influence of Economic Freedom on the Outcomes of the
COVID-19: COVID-19 Cases, COVID-19 Deaths, Cases Fataly Ratio and
Efficient Covid-19. Such a linear relationship is moderate by The Good
Government. In countries with high score in Good Governance, higher
economic freedom scores is associated with lower rates of infection by
COVID-19, lower rates of COVID-19 deaths, minor ratios of deaths on a
case case and greater efficiency in the management of pandemic.
Conclusions The present research concludes that economic
freedom has a positive effect on the control of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition, this effect occurs with greater intensity in situations of
high Good Government. Scarce economic freedom and the worst governance
can make the Covid-19 pandemic be controlled and that its effects are
very worse.
