    This paper will discuss the importance of detailed design decisions in the long term sustainability of any infrastructure system. It presents the concept of Universal Composition, first introduced by UCL’s new Universal Composition Laboratory (‘UCL-squared’) and emerging from the need to design in space and time for multiple senses towards the creation of more accessible, understandable and meaningful environments. It thus presents infrastructure design from the point of view of human perception, and argues the need to design for the senses in order to encourage sustainable behaviours concerning human mobility, transport and locational choice. After first explaining people-environment interactions, it discusses how the design of our urban infrastructure systems and environments can help stimulate our senses and thus behavioural change. Through two examples concerning bus stops implemented in London, it will explain how the role of both low and high tech technologies can help enhance interaction, improve accessibility and encourage usage. Thus, this paper aims to show that seemingly small details have a big role to play in the creation of infrastructure systems which enable, rather than inhibit, long term sustainable developmen

    This work-in-progress introduces a proposal to incorporate sound in the passenger navigation system of the London Bus. First, we present the problems of accessibility concerning Londonï¾’s complex bus system. Then, we introduce our proposal of using sound and sonification in particular to aid in the navigation of Londonï¾’s bus system. We explain our sonification strategy and describe a recent preliminary trial of our sonification prototype, implemented as an installation during an accessibility event held by Transport for London at the ExCel centre in London on 19 March 2019. We discuss the feedback obtained from this trial and conclude with proposed future work in terms of both the development of our sonification strategy as well as its implementation in Londonï¾’s public transport system

    Guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) is a plant that grows in Indonesia, which contains tannin which can be efficacious as an antibacterial and can be used to treat burns. This study aimed to determine the effect of variations in concentrations of guava leaf extract against physical and chemical stability of cream preparation M / A and the effectiveness of treating burns in mice. Cream of guava leaf extract was made in cream type M/A with the addition of extract concentration variations. Cream tested physical and chemical stability which included organoleptic test, homogeneity, pH and viscosity. And tested the effectiveness of treating burns. The data obtained were compared with the requirements in the literature. In addition, data were analyzed using two way ANOVA with 95% confidence level. The results showed that the variation of the cream with the addition of the extract produces physical and chemical stability is good. Testing the effectiveness of treating burns cream guava leaf extract is known that the higher the concentration of guava leaf extract, the better treat burns. With a 7% concentration of the extract cream can treat burns by 60%. Keywords: Guava leaf, cream, burns, effectiveness Daun jambu biji (Psidium guajava L.) merupakan tanaman yang banyak tumbuh di Indonesia yang mengandung senyawa yang dapat berkhasiat sebagai antibakteri dan dapat digunakan untuk mengobati luka bakar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi penambahan konsentrasi ekstrak daun jambu biji terhadap stabilitas fisik dan kimia sediaan krim M/A dan efektifitas mengobati luka bakar pada mencit. Krim ekstrak daun jambu biji dibuat dalam tipe krim M/A dengan variasi penambahan konsentrasi ekstrak. Krim diuji stabilitas fisik dan kimia yang meliputi uji organoleptis, homogenitas, pH dan viskositas. Serta diuji efektifitas mengobati luka bakar. Data yang diperoleh dibandingkan dengan persyaratan pada literatur. Selain itu data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan two way Anova dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa variasi penambahan konsentrasi ekstrak menghasilkan krim dengan stabilitas fisik dan kimia yang baik. Pengujian terhadap efektifitas mengobati luka bakar krim ekstrak daun jambu biji diketahui bahwa semakin tinggi konsentrasi ekstrak daun jambu biji maka akan semakin baik mengobati luka bakarnya. Dengan konsentrasi ekstrak 7% krim dapat mengobati luka bakar sebesar 60%. Kata kunci : Daun jambu biji, krim, luka bakar, efektifita
