Light Pollution Observations in Indonesia

Light pollution is a growing concern in the world. It affects many walk of lives, including human health, the degradation of nocturnal animal habitat, and the inability of the astronomers to observe dimmer objects. We in Space Science Center of LAPAN (Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space) try to mitigate this through a coordinated observation of light pollution using Sky Quality Meter equipments which are located in several LAPAN’s stations [Agam (West Sumatra), Pontianak (West Kalimantan), Sumedang (West Java), Garut (West Java), Pasuruan (East Java), Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara), and Biak (Papua)]. The observations has been conducted since 2018 in stationary and moving modes, and the results are then sent to a central database which is located in Space Science Center in Bandung (West Java). The results showed that there are some variations of light pollution across Indonesia. In this respect most of the stations have moderate pollution as can be seen from the values of Biak, Agam, Sumedang, and Pontianak (20.0, 19.5, 19.6, and 17.7 mpsas respectively). On the other hand, the stations which are located near or in cities have high light pollution (Bandung and Pasuruan with 17.1 and 18.0 mpsas, respectively). A particular station (Garut) has low light pollution (20.6 mpsas). The data of these observations are presented in a website to be accessed by interested parties

Analysis study of the carbon monoxide sensor for vehicle safety system application

Carbon monoxide sensor is used to detect the presence of carbon monoxide. In this study, carbon monoxide detection system was developed for the purpose of vehicle safety system application. Factors that were investigated in the simulation study includes the design of circuit, carbon monoxide detection performance and the output design that will not affect the driver performance. Buzzer and motors were added in the circuit design and the simulations were done using Proteus and Tinkercad software. Both software showed a good performance in the detection of carbon monoxide. In the case of high carbon monoxide environment, buzzer was activated to alert the people inside the car and motor automatically rolled down the windows to let the outside air into the vehicle and reduce the carbon monoxide

Surgical site infection after gastrointestinal surgery in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: a prospective, international, multicentre cohort study

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common infections associated with health care, but its importance as a global health priority is not fully understood. We quantified the burden of SSI after gastrointestinal surgery in countries in all parts of the world. Methods: This international, prospective, multicentre cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency gastrointestinal resection within 2-week time periods at any health-care facility in any country. Countries with participating centres were stratified into high-income, middle-income, and low-income groups according to the UN's Human Development Index (HDI). Data variables from the GlobalSurg 1 study and other studies that have been found to affect the likelihood of SSI were entered into risk adjustment models. The primary outcome measure was the 30-day SSI incidence (defined by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for superficial and deep incisional SSI). Relationships with explanatory variables were examined using Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02662231. Findings: Between Jan 4, 2016, and July 31, 2016, 13 265 records were submitted for analysis. 12 539 patients from 343 hospitals in 66 countries were included. 7339 (58·5%) patient were from high-HDI countries (193 hospitals in 30 countries), 3918 (31·2%) patients were from middle-HDI countries (82 hospitals in 18 countries), and 1282 (10·2%) patients were from low-HDI countries (68 hospitals in 18 countries). In total, 1538 (12·3%) patients had SSI within 30 days of surgery. The incidence of SSI varied between countries with high (691 [9·4%] of 7339 patients), middle (549 [14·0%] of 3918 patients), and low (298 [23·2%] of 1282) HDI (p < 0·001). The highest SSI incidence in each HDI group was after dirty surgery (102 [17·8%] of 574 patients in high-HDI countries; 74 [31·4%] of 236 patients in middle-HDI countries; 72 [39·8%] of 181 patients in low-HDI countries). Following risk factor adjustment, patients in low-HDI countries were at greatest risk of SSI (adjusted odds ratio 1·60, 95% credible interval 1·05–2·37; p=0·030). 132 (21·6%) of 610 patients with an SSI and a microbiology culture result had an infection that was resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic used. Resistant infections were detected in 49 (16·6%) of 295 patients in high-HDI countries, in 37 (19·8%) of 187 patients in middle-HDI countries, and in 46 (35·9%) of 128 patients in low-HDI countries (p < 0·001). Interpretation: Countries with a low HDI carry a disproportionately greater burden of SSI than countries with a middle or high HDI and might have higher rates of antibiotic resistance. In view of WHO recommendations on SSI prevention that highlight the absence of high-quality interventional research, urgent, pragmatic, randomised trials based in LMICs are needed to assess measures aiming to reduce this preventable complication

Investigation of fluid flow system performance for biosensor application

Electrochemical biosensors are advantageous for in-situ sensing applications measurements because of their low detection limit, good selectivity, minimum calibration requirement, and, most importantly, inexpensive cost. Nevertheless, integrated readout circuits for biosensing applications are typically cumbersome, costly, and not maintenance-free. Numerous studies have been conducted on electrochemical biosensor systems with portable readout circuits, specifically on potentiostat for diverse in-situ sensing applications. High-quality microfluidic packaging is required to build this portable sensor device. Before samples can be measured for biosensing applications, notably loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), they must undergo further treatments and heating. Therefore, in this paper, we have developed a portable biosensor application system consisting of sensor packaging, fluid flow, and a heater that can be used in the field without requiring laboratory or specialist equipment. The sensor packaging is 3D printed, and a fluid leakage test validates its performance. Two types of heaters are utilized for the heating system and compared. This portable biosensor device can be utilized for various in-situ electrochemical biosensing applications, including Covid-19 sensing, ions detection in saltwater, and heavy metals detection in water pollution
