Power is supplied by a custom-built battery pack with 18650 cells and a Battery Management System (BMS) that optimizes performance and ensures safe operation.
By incorporating 3D-printed components and open-source software, CANOE offers an affordable and scalable solution that reduces initial and maintenance costs. This modular and automated platform provides a viable alternative for material handling, addressing the challenges of traditional AGV systems and enabling the adoption of automated transport technologies across various industrial sectors.
Making Sense of Sensemaking in Safety Culture Development: A Romanian Company Experience
Authors: Moraru Roland Iosif 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Safety culture is a topic that has been debated for too little time in Romania. Especially in multinational companies, there are numerous programs implemented in order to develop the safety culture among employees. Since in Romania a framework, a culture, which favors the full understanding of the concept of safety at work is not developed, still, in most companies, the term safety at work is assimilated to the set of cumbersome laws and government decisions, instructions and procedures, inspections, helmet and boots. Romania is at the bottom of the list of countries in terms of the number of occupational accidents with incapacity for work, but it is at the top of the list of countries with the most fatal accidents. A paradox, a reality concealed by economic operators by not reporting work accidents with work incapacity, which means that an investigation of the root causes is not carried out, thus leading to accidents that result in death. Accident reporting shows the maturity of the safety culture. The following article discusses the steps taken by Port Operator CHIMPEX to make the transition from a company based on indicators, systems and profit to a company based on people, in this case during implementing and developing an organizational culture based on leadership.
Sodium Metasilicate-MgO Blend Catalyst for Producing Mono and Diacylglycerol from Palm Kernel Oil Using High Shear Compartment Reactor
Authors: Affandi Arief Rakhman , Millati Ria , Hidayat Chusnul 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Sodium metasilicate (SMS) tended to agglomerate during glycerolysis reactions in high shear compartment reactors (HSCR), hindering triacylglycerol (TAG) conversion. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the SMS-magnesium oxide (MgO) blend as a heterogeneous catalyst for glycerolysis reactions. Various SMS-MgO ratios (ranging from 2.5:1 to 10.0:1) were evaluated. The results demonstrated that increasing MgO in the blend reduced catalyst basicity and minimized O-Si-O groups and catalyst crystallinity, preventing clumping and increasing catalyst surface area. The SMS-MgO 5.0:1 blend exhibited the smallest pore size (<2 nm) with a surface area of 4.22 m2 . g
–1 and basicity of 11.59 ± 0.115 mmol . g–1. This blend achieved the highest TAG conversion of 53.98%, with a MAG content of 16.86 ± 0.528% when it was performed at 120 °C with an agitator speed of 2,000 rpm for 6 h. Thus, the SMS-MgO 5.0:1 blend shows promise as a heterogeneous catalyst in glycerolysis reaction in HSCR, hindering agglomeration and enhancing surface area.

Abstract
The present study was focused on organic small tea plantations of Sittong (a village in Darjeeling) mainly due to their sudden rise in the Indian tea industry with a striking tactic i.e., organic tea cultivation. This cumulative survey and laboratorial experiments-based research focuses on the agricultural conversion in Sittong where farmers started to shift from vegetable and grain cultivation to small tea gardens. Soil physicochemical (pH and electric conductivity; organic carbon; organic matter; and available nitrogen content) and microbiological (determination of microbial cell mass and isolation of consortia; antibiotic and antifungal susceptibility test) characteristics were considered to assess the viability of this shifting agriculture practice and cross-verify the reflections of organic farming practices. The survey revealed that farmers have cultivated and rehabilitated the land in an acceptable manner before planting; they carried out the soil nutrient management practices organically. Survey also revealed economic perspectives including prices of their harvested tea leaves. Further, the moisture content analysis revealed its adequacy in the tea garden soils. Organic matter, organic carbon and available nitrogen were measured that reflected very high results compared to the optimum values suggested by the Tea Board of India. Microbial analysis results, as a cross-verifying tool, affirmed their organic farming practice by revealing microbes’ susceptible nature towards antibiotics and antifungals. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that the small tea growers in Sittong-3 are well-positioned to produce a high-quality of organic tea. Sittong was found to have potential to promote the rural areas of Darjeeling into an ideal place for small-scale organic tea cultivation, while also serving as an inspiration for small tea growers across the country.

Authors: Shroff Kavin Nishith , Shroff Uma Kavin , Gajiwala Uday Ranchhoddas 
Published: December 2024

Objectives:
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant cause of preventable blindness among prematurely born babies. Advances in neonatal care support low-birth-weight babies and premature infants. These infants are more at risk of developing ROP. However, ROP is a preventable and treatable condition if newborns are screened in time. The study aims to identify the prevalence of ROP and assess the factors associated with ROP among newly born children in rural areas of South Gujarat.

Materials and Methods:
This was a hospital-based prospective study for 1 year and 5 months, that is, 2022, September to 2024, February 2024. All the preterm babies falling within inclusion criteria that is, babies born ≤34 weeks and or those with ≤2 kg and/or babies with a history of oxygen support, were included in the study. Bivariate statistics, Chi-square test, and logistic regression models were applied using the STATA version 14 software.

Results:
The study found that 4.8% of newborns had ROP. Extremely preterm adjusted odds ratio (AOR: 11.2, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.0–41.5) and very-low-birth-weight (AOR: 4.6; 95% CI: 1.7–12.5) infants exhibiting the highest risk. Furthermore, extremely low-birth-weight infants (AOR: 9.4; 95% CI: 2.8–31.8) and very-low-birth-weight infants (AOR: 7; 95% CI: 2.8–17.5) have a substantially higher likelihood of developing ROP than low-birth-weight infants. Surat district has having higher risk of developing ROP from south Gujarat.

Conclusion:
A low prevalence rate may be associated with low oxygen usage in rural areas, which needs further studies to confirm the association. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions and improved access to prenatal and neonatal care to mitigate the burden of ROP-related complications.

Published: December 2024

Genetic algorithm (GA) is well-known algorithm to find a feasible path planning which can be defined as global optimum problem. The drawback of GA is the high computation due to random process on each operator. In this research, the new initial population integrating with new crossover operator strategy was proposed. The parameter is the length of distance travelled of the robot. Before employing the crossover operator, generating a c-obstacle have been done. The c-obstacle is used as a filter to reduce unnecessary nodes to decrease time computation. After that, the initial population has been determined. The initial population is divided into two parents which parent’s chromosome contains an initial and goal position. The second parents are fulfilled with nodes from each obstacle. The genes of chromosome will add with c-obstacle nodes. Crossover operator is applied after filtering and c-obstacle of possible hopping is determined. Filtering method is used to remove unnecessary nodes that are part of c-obstacle. Fitness function considers the distance from the last to next position. Optimum value is the shortest distance of path planning which avoids the obstacle in front. The aim of the proposed method is to reduce the random population and random operating in GA. By using a similar data set of previous researches, the modified GA can reduce the total of generation and yield an adaptive generation number. This means that the modified GA converges faster than the other GA methods.

Published: December 2024

Background: Stress has been linked to a number of psychological conditions, including major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Serum serotonin levels and serotonin receptor gene polymorphism were thought to be linked to psychological stress-related illness symptoms.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 60 male patients with psychological stress were divided into 20 groups: those with Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and major depression. Thirty-nine individuals were included as a healthy group. Serum serotonin levels were measured by ELISA, and the results were correlated with the serotonin 1 A receptor (5-HT1A) (rs6296G/C) gene polymorphism.
Results: The findings indicated a statistically significant (p≤0.05) reduction in serotonin levels across all patient groups when compared to the healthy group. Additionally, the serotonin receptor (rs6296G/C) gene polymorphism results demonstrated that the majority of patients with Alzheimer's and schizophrenia had the highest percentage (50%) of 5-HT1A genotype GC when compared to the healthy group.
Conclusion: It was determined that serotonin levels and 5-HT1A gene polymorphism are related in psychological stress disorders, such as depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

Published: December 2024

Kemiskinan ekstrem masih menjadi masalah sosial di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan profil kemiskinan ekstrem rumahtangga buruh di pedesaan Jawa Tengah. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei dengan 35 rumahtangga contoh. Profil kemiskinan ekstrem dapat dideskripsikan dengan 4 gradasi yaitu kemiskinan ekstrem dengan keparahan derajat 1, derajat 2, derajat 3 dan yang paling parah adalah derajat 4. Rumahtangga miskin ekstrem umumnya dikepalai laki-laki berusia lanjut (di atas 59 tahun) dan berusia dewasa (19-44 tahun) yang bekerja sebagai buruh tani. Rumah tangga miskin ekstrem yang paling parah kondisinya masih dapat mempertahankan frekuensi makan dua sampai tiga kali sehari, meskipun sangat sulit memenuhi kebutuhan protein. Pemenuhan pangan mereka didukung oleh hasil pekarangan, bantuan pangan dari pemerintah maupun tetangga. Sekalipun memiliki tempat tinggal sederhana milik sendiri, namun mereka hampir tidak dapat memenuhi kebutuhan sandang, kecuali diberi oleh kerabat dan tetangga. Mereka umumnya telah memperoleh akses pada program asuransi melalui Kartu Indonesia Sehat, namun kenyataannya bila sakit, mereka hanya mengandalkan obat warung. Mereka tidak memiliki tabungan berupa uang, tidak pernah bepergian dengan sengaja untuk berekreasi, tidak memiliki alat komunikasi modern sehingga interaksi/komunikasi dengan sesamanya hanyalah secara tatap muka. Partisipasi mereka pada kegiatan kolektif dalam komunitas tergolong rendah, karena alasan kelangkaan waktu luang.
