Published: August 2021

Abstract
The biggest part of the energy consumption of buildings is for thermal comfort. Awareness on climate change and concerns about the depletion of natural resources made the necessity to use renewable energy sources in buildings evident. In this context, microalgae have high surface efficiency and consume inorganic carbon, thus enabling carbon-neutral operation. They can be integrated into building façades with photobioreactors to reduce energy demands. This paper aims to clarify and discuss the role of microalgal technologies in energy-efficient architecture. The thermal performance and energy generation properties of microalgae façades are comprehensively reviewed. The results show that microalgae provide dynamic shading and thermal insulation, thus have the potential to significantly reduce the thermal load and energy demands of buildings and increase the building performance. Consequently, besides the thermal performance of microalgae façades, evaluation of daylight, lighting, environmental and cost performance, technical applicability and aesthetics are necessary.

Authors: Ye Meng , Zhang Ruichao 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The ecological problems brought by the rapid development of the economy and society have threatened humanity’s sustainable development. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, China is still at a critical stage of industrialization, and it is urgent to solve the problem of how to realize the low-carbon circular development of the economy. This paper constructed the evaluation index system of regional low carbon development from the three dimensions of development, low carbon, and ecology. Based on the entropy weight-TOPSIS model, the index was quantitatively analyzed with the data of 30 provinces in China in 2018. According to the measurement results, 30 provinces, were clustered into low-carbon development zones, relatively low-carbon development zones, relatively high-carbon development zones, and high-carbon development zones according to the low-carbon ecological development level. The results show that China’s overall low-carbon economic development level is not high in 2018, with the south being superior to the north, and the eastern coastal areas of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhejiang being significantly prime to other regions. Finally, suggestions are given for different types of low-carbon development areas.

Abstract
The study was carried out to validate the effect of different flush induction protocol on carabao mango which was conducted in Alion, Mariveles, Bataan, Philippines with the following treatments: no intervention (T1), pruning only (T2), pruning with urea applied in soil (T3), pruning with urea spray (T4), pruning with irrigation (T5), and complete flush induction protocol (T6). Results revealed that providing water hasten the flush induction of mango. The complete flush induction protocol (T6) significantly had the highest flushing percentage and the longest flushing duration. In terms of leaf produced per flush, pruning alone (T2) and pruning with urea spray (T4) equally produced the highest number of leaves per flush having 16 leaves. On the other hand, different flush induction protocols have no direct effect on flush and stem length, stem diameter, flush dry weight, and in the amount of nutrients in the flushes except for total amount of iron.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Production of high quality product gas via biomass steam gasification is a promising technology. However, impurities in the product gas, namely tars, cause problems in the downstream gas processing operations and thus they need to be removed efficiently. Oil scrubbing is an effective solution for tar removal due to its non-polar characteristic which is similar to tar nature. In this research, solubility values of five simulated tar compounds were experimentally investigated for selecting the new scrubbing solvent. The simulated tar compounds investigated represent those found in the dual fluidized bed steam gasification of wood biomass, which are: naphthalene, biphenyl, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene. The scrubbing solvents tested in this research are classified into biodiesels, vegetable oils, and diesel. Biodiesel used are rapeseed methyl ester (RME) and 2 different palm methyl esters (denoted as PME1 and PME2). Vegetable oils are sunflower oil, refined palm oil, Thai rice bran oil, and crude palm oil. All of the solubility tests were performed in the laboratory-scale test-rig at 30, 50, 70, and 80°C. Biodiesels are found to be the effective solvent in dissolving the tar compounds. PME1 shows the similar tar removal performance to RME but is more readily available; therefore, PME1 is chosen to be used as a scrubbing solvent at the Thailand 1 MWel prototype DFB gasifier at Nong Bua district in Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
with the development of economy and the reform of cities, the bridge engineering in China has entered a period of rapid development. By 2009, the number of highway bridges in China has exceeded that of the rest of the world. According to the statistics of 2014, the number of roads and bridges in China is 757100, and its extension meters reach 42.5789 million. The emergence of BIM technology has brought a new experience to China’s construction industry. Compared with the traditional CAD, the most significant change in BIM technology is to change building information from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. At the same time, BIM visualization, synergy and automation help building participants to do a lot of work better and more conveniently. Because of the continuous expansion of bridge engineering in China, bridge engineering has gradually become more complex and diverse, which has also brought problems to many industries. The research on BIM in our country is still in some surface stages. There are deeper things worth digging into.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
This paper presents the development of new concrete mixtures, which constitutes prefabricated elements for building constructions in tropical conditions in Gabon (Africa). The Client from Gabon required prefabricated buildings fabricated overseas (in Serbia) and assembled at the site (Okolassi, Gabon). The main problem was to achieve sufficient strength and resistance of finishing material, with small weight. New material was developed in order to satisfy the following conditions: low unit weight, high compressive/tensile strength, low shrinkage, reduced spalling, resistance to high temperatures and moisture. The main need for development of these new concrete mixtures lies in characteristics of designed prefabricated concrete elements, with the following main properties: a) concrete panels, with dimensions 240-360 cm (length), 110 cm (height), and 20 cm (width); b) panels should weigh up to 100 kg/pc, but sound and robust, so surface must be casted of ultra-high-performance concrete, while the inner part of the element should have smaller unit weight. New concrete mixtures with the required properties were designed on the basis of the extensive laboratory analysis. Concrete specimens were prepared using the materials available at the market and tested. Testing results were further analysed in order to derive convenient mathematical models for the target concrete properties. The results of this analysis were new concrete mixtures, prepared according to the derived models, to be used for construction of prefabricated concrete panels.

Abstract
Lao PDR faces the challenges of raising the standard of living because of a rapidly expanding population, and one way is to increase the fishery sector roles. Women also involved in fishery activities, however, information on the roles and functions of women of capture fishery and aquaculture activities, fish processing, and marketing is still completely limited. The field survey was conducted in 2016-2019 in Lao PDR (Nam Xouang Reservoir, Nam Ngum Reservoir, and Nam Houm Reservoir). The study was carried out by collecting the primary data and secondary data. The primary data was obtained by interviewing the women who practiced fishery activities, while the secondary data was from the statistical data. The data was arranged in tabulation and descriptive, as well as analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the participation status of the women who live surrounding the reservoir is satisfactory. Nevertheless, it needs to improve the women’s consciousness of modern techniques for capturing, culturing, processing the fish, and marketing. It is expected that the finding of this research will help policymakers to take a useful initiative to improve the women’s roles in participating in increase their family welfare and as the actor in the fishery community.

The changes occured on the biophysical, ecology, area management, and social aspects. The development of HTI has caused not only positive impacts, but also land-based conflicts and issues related to access to forest resource. This research aims to analyze the existing condition of the forest and the social and economic problems faced by the local community living around the concession area. The research was conducted in the vicinity of PT Sentosa Bahagia Bersama’s using qualitative approach and data extracting through in-depth interviews with predetermined key informants. This study finds that the shape of forests in the HTI concession area could be defined based on its cultivation patterns, age and growth of plants, land clearing and area accessibility, forest management organization, ecology and productivity of the area.
The Implementation of Character Building to Improve Resident Participation in Waste Management
Authors: Zebua R S Y , Sunarti  
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Household waste commonly dominates the municipal waste composition, indicating a vital role of residents’ participation in solving waste problems. Various efforts have been made to encourage resident’s participation. However, many approaches implemented cannot keep participation sustainable. Previous studies showed that educating residents through nurturing moral values is influential in improving waste management behaviour. Meanwhile, the moral value becomes the core of character building, implying that character building could have a role in resident-based education to enhance waste management behaviour. In fact, character building can change individual behaviour sustainably. Thus, this study aimed to figure out the possibility of implementing character building to nurture sustainable waste management behaviour and investigate how character-building was implemented. Using a case study approach, we explored a resident-based education in Neglasari, Bandung, Indonesia, that implemented moral value as the educational strategy. This study found that some primary activities were conducted to transfer moral value. The learning activities were focused on nurturing moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action as central components of character building. However, implementing character building seemed to take time and required iteration to get a sustainable change in the behaviour. Nevertheless, it is worth to continue to gain significant benefits.
Science of Climate Change in Agricultural Courses
Authors: Handayani I P 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Climate change adaptation is required knowledge for students and graduates from colleges of agriculture since recent crop production and food security are influenced by climate change. Thus, understanding the dynamics of climate change is important to support farmers to adapt to future conditions. However, not all students and graduates understand the concept and application of climate change with regard to the dynamics of food production and future food security. While agriculture faces the challenge of climate change adaptation, agricultural courses have not kept pace by incorporating climate change science into the curricula. To address this issue, eleven syllabi in selected agricultural courses from 100 to 700 levels were reviewed in the year of 2018 and 2019 to observe the integration of climate change science into the syllabi. The results suggest that educators, instructors or course designers should consider the following before creating the courses: (1) the specific interests and needs of students; (2) linking global climate change to local problem in agriculture, (3) applying lessons across disciplines, and (4) encouraging active student participation. In addition, the syllabi should meet the needs of a specific course level, such as the topical interests and learning needs with lesson updates on a regular basis. By applying these components to future syllabi, the integration of climate change science into agricultural courses will better facilitate climate change adaptation concepts, curricula and applications for all students, graduates and crop producers.

Abstract
The development of biomaterials from herbs needs to be done as a chemopreventive compound to inhibit cervical cancer. Curcuma xanthorrhiza (CX) contains curcumin and xanthorrhizol, which are the main active substances for inhibiting carcinogenesis. Experimental research was carried out on cervical cancer cells from ethanol extracts of CX/EECX. Testing for proapoptosis potential by observing p53 gene expression in the HeLa cell was conducted by the flow cytometry method. Cytotoxic tests were carried out to obtained IC50, the results of 36.12 ± 6.66μg ml-1. The IC50 value is then made into three concentrations, namely, ½ IC50, IC50, 2xIC50. The ICC test results showed an increase in the p53 gene expression index in the 1/2IC50 and IC50 concentration groups. The expression of p53 in the IC50 concentration group was higher than that in the 1/2IC50 group. There were no living cells in the 2xIC50 concentration group, so p53 expression could not be seen. EECX has potential as a chemopreventive biomaterial to prevent cervical cancer because it increases apoptotic activity in HeLa cells. The possibility of cell apoptosis, which is influenced by EECX with the optimal concentration that can be used, is IC50, which is 36.12 ± 6.66 μg ml-1.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
In this paper, we synthesized WO3 thick films on a rough and smooth glass substrate by hydrothermal method and then heated to a temperature of 400-degree Celcius. Characteristic techniques such as XRD and SEM analysis were sequenced to determine the crystallite size and grain composition of the finished samples, respectively. We have discussed the results of the Rietveld refinement made using MAUD to determine useful information regarding the atomic sites, mesh parameters, and micro-stresses in the sample. Subsequently, FTIR analysis has been performed to note the critical bond vibrations associated with the material. AFM studies have also been included to determine the pore sizes and understand the surface-level differences between WO3 films on rough and smooth substrates. The room temperature gas sensing mechanism was then discussed in the presence of humidity with methanol, ethanol, and benzene along with most of the targeted gases with different selective parameters at atmospheric pressure. We have tried to develop a theory incorporating the anomalous observation for the methanol gas sensing experiment and explained the future scope of this work.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Pure and Cu doped anatase/rutile mixed TiO2 nanomaterials were fabricated through sol-gel method. The obtained photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, PL and DRS, and the influences of Cu doping on the structure and photocatalytic property were studied. The results show that when the molar ratios of Cu/Ti are 1% and 2%, Cu doping promotes anatase → rutile phase transformation. When the molar ratio of Cu/Ti is 4%, the phase transformation is inhibited. Cu element coexists in the form of Cu+ and Cu2+, and Cu doping facilitates the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. TEM image shows that copper oxides are dispersed on TiO2 particles surface, which significantly reduces the optical absorption of ultraviolet region. The photocatalytic experiment results show that the photocatalytic activity of Cu–TiO2 is lower than pure TiO2, and the higher doping concentration, the lower photocatalytic activity.

Abstract

Objectives
Our institution was affected by a multi-institution, systemwide cyberattack that led to a complete shutdown of major patient care, operational, and communication systems. The attack affected our electronic health record (EHR) system, including all department-specific modules, the laboratory information system (LIS), pharmacy, scheduling, billing and coding, imaging software, internet access, and payroll. Downtime for the EHR lasted 25 days, while other systems were nonfunctional for more than 40 days, causing disruptions to patient care and significantly affecting our laboratories. As more institutions transition to network EHR systems, laboratories are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattack. This article focuses on the approaches we developed in the anatomic pathology (AP) laboratory to continue operations, consequences of the prolonged downtime, and strategies for the future.

Methods
Our AP laboratory developed manual processes for surgical and cytopathology processing, redeployed staff, and used resources within the department and of nearby facilities to regain and maintain operations.

Results
During the downtime, our AP laboratory processed 1,362 surgical pathology and consult cases as well as 299 cytology specimens and outsourced 1,308 surgical pathology and 1,250 cytology cases.

Conclusions
Our laboratory successfully transitioned to downtime processes during a 25-day complete network outage. The crisis allowed for innovative approaches in managing resources.
