Smartification Furniture Manufacturing: A Furniture Prototype with Thermal-Based Sensors (Visions and Challenges)

Considering the swift advancement of technology paralleling the industrial revolution, Industry 4 and Industry 5 have emerged. The industry's developing focus has shifted beyond merely incorporating technical and interactive components. Concern for human beings and user's well-being has become a fundamental aspect of the furniture industry. This study proposes the manufacturing of an interactive furniture component that can be produced with limited skills. This prototype of smart furniture, utilizing existing materials, enhances safety and improves the security health of the users in the environment. The product is a living room table that produces a light warning when a thermal object, which may pose a risk of external heat to the user and occupants, is detected. This device is designed for consumers requiring continuous assistance, specifically children, the elderly, and the deaf. This will enable them to integrate into family dynamics without the need for a caregiver to alert them to potential hazards. The light warning followed international design guidelines, using red for severe heat and blue for extreme cold. The study provides a strategic design framework that assists the industry in developing interactive furniture production. This methodology also provides a development concept for common pre-manufactured furniture and techniques for incorporating interactive features. The study encountered multiple problems in practical implementation, the foremost being the lack of existing industrial design models. We encountered logistical challenges with the availability of raw materials and the compatibility among the industrial service provider, the furniture designer, and the techie tasked with integrating the interactive component.

Economic influence of prosperity gospel on individual followers in neo-Pentecostal movements in Karingani Ward Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya

The study sought to investigate how prosperity gospel influences the economic aspect of its followers in neo-Pentecostal movements in Karingani Ward Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. In Kenya, Neo-Pentecostal movements are growing and spreading from urban to rural areas, as witnessed in Karingani Ward, Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. There has been an increase in self-founded churches, commonly known as charismatic movements, over the past decade. The Functionalism Theory guided the study in analysing the prosperity gospel's influence on its followers' economic aspect. The theory indicates that religion is a social influencer that leads to changes in behaviour and perception or worldview that are essential to economic growth. The study applied the descriptive survey design. Yamane’s formula was applied to obtain a sample size of 288 respondents. In addition, six pastors were selected from the churches; the total sample was 294 respondents. In the six selected churches, a larger population was between (20-50 years); the majority were women and indicated to be small business owners and employed in the private sector. The research instruments utilised were questionnaires, interviews, and focused group discussions. The study's findings revealed that prosperity teachings in Neo-Pentecostal movements positively influenced its followers. Prosperity teaching with biblical grounding had influenced adherents in these movements to have financial, investment, and entrepreneurial abilities through seminars, idea sharing, and continuous assistance from members, which have impacted their followers to experience social status mobility. This paper recommends a future study on how perceived YouTube or social media incomes can benefit all adherents.

Implementation of Zakat Distribution by BAZNAS of Jambi City

Zakat, a pillar of Islam, serves as a crucial wealth distribution mechanism aimed at reducing socio-economic inequalities. With Indonesia's vast Muslim population, the potential of zakat is significant, yet its impact relies heavily on effective management and distribution. This study explores the implementation of zakat distribution by BAZNAS of Jambi City, focusing on its processes, effectiveness, challenges, and proposed solutions. This research utilizes a qualitative case study approach, involving BAZNAS administrators, field officers, and zakat recipients (mustahik) to gain insights into the zakat distribution in Jambi City. The findings reveal that BAZNAS Jambi City has developed a structured zakat distribution system, encompassing mustahik data collection, verification, and fund allocation. The BAZNAS Jambi City categorizes zakat distribution into consumptive, productive, and special programs, each with specific targets. However, challenges such as limited human resources, budget constraints, and a lack of continuous assistance in productive zakat programs were identified, impacting the long-term benefits for mustahik. Despite these challenges, BAZNAS Jambi City has made efforts to improve the distribution process, including the creation of Zakat Collection Units and seeking the issuance of local regulations to ensure consistent zakat collection. The study concludes that while BAZNAS Jambi City's zakat distribution has made strides in improving community welfare, there is a need for enhanced mentoring and innovation to maximize the impact of productive zakat programs. The research provides valuable recommendations for BAZNAS and other regions to refine their zakat distribution strategies, ultimately contributing to poverty alleviation and economic empowerment.

An “Older Old” Woman with Large Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Nasal Pyramid: Excellent Response to Ultra-Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy

A 98-year-old patient with cognitive impairment and a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal pyramid was referred to the radiation oncology department of our institution’s hospital given that surgery was not recommended. The lesion was sized 6 × 6 cm, ulcerated, and bleeding; was significantly impairing the patient’s health-related quality of life, causing pain; and was not responsive to analgesics, including opioids. The patient experienced deterioration of her general conditions, with a Karnofsky performance status of 40. A single radiotherapy (RT) fraction was delivered on a weekly basis for 3 weeks, up to a total dose of 21 Gy, using a VMAT technique (7 Gy/fraction). The patient was given three fractions of radiotherapy, during which she received continuous assistance due to episodes of mental disorientation and an altered sense of consciousness. One month after the conclusion of the treatment, the patient exhibited a nearly complete clinical response, with full pain relief and an improved health-related quality of life. This favourable clinical outcome was maintained for a period of four months following the conclusion of RT. A brief review was performed on the role of hypofractionated radiation therapy in elderly patients with locally advanced skin cancer of the head and neck region.

Deep learning approaches for recognizing facial emotions on autistic patients

Autistic people need continuous assistance in order to improve their quality of life, and chatbots are one of the technologies that can provide this today. Chatbots can help with this task by providing assistance while accompanying the autist. The chatbot we plan to develop gives to autistic people an immediate personalized recommendation by determining the autist’s state, intervene with him and build a profil of the individual that will assist medical professionals in getting to know their patients better so they can provide an individualized care. We attempted to identify the emotion from the image's face in order to gain an understanding of emotions. Deep learning methods like Convolutional neural networks and Vision Transformers could be compared using the FER2013. After optimization, CNN achieved 74% accuracy, whereas the VIT achieved 69%. Given that there is not a massive dataset of autistic individuals accessible, we combined a dataset of photos of autistic people from two distinct sources and used the CNN model to identify the relevant emotion. Our accuracy rate for identifying emotions on the face is 65%. The model still has some identification limitations, such as misinterpreting some emotions, particularly "neutral," "surprised," and "angry," because these emotions and facial traits are poorly expressed by autistic people, and because the model is trained with imbalanced emotion categories.

Simulation based CPR Training of EMS Staff and its Utility in Managing Remote Patients at Tertiary Care Hospital of Central India

Abstract Introduction: AVBRH is 1500-bedded tertiary care hospital that caters to patients from areas within more than a 50 km radius. Emergency medical services (EMS) are established and frequently on the run. The EMS team has 10 basic life support (BLS) ambulances with 20 drivers and 20 paramedical staff. Daily, 3–5 highly critical patients who are in need of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are transferred to the AVBRH hospital. The optimal medical care while transferring the patient to AVBRH hospital was unmonitored and without any benchmark. A low-risk simulation-based environment to practice can be valuable to maintain a wide array of skills. Effective and prompt delivery of expert instruction and guidance by a telesimulation is approved to be a beneficial approach in this setting. Training of EMS staff helps to improve patient care and satisfaction. Hence, we decided to undertake the simulation-based CPR training of the staff and correlate the outcome with existing mortality data of Medical record department (MRD). Objective: To optimize health care while transferring the patient to a tertiary hospital by BLS training and teleassisting. To see the impact of teaching and assisting on overall patient outcomes at the emergency department. Methodology: Forty EMS participants were enrolled and trained for 2 days. On day 1, they were trained in BLS, while on day 2, training in working as a team through simulation at school of virtual learning was done. They were trained to work as a team through simulated case scenarios with effective telecommunication while transferring the patient to the hospital. After training, these EMS staff were monitored and assisted according to the protocol of BLS by the emergency medicine department through telecommunication on the field for the next 3 months and reassessed again after the completion of 3 months. The following tabulated assessment format is used for EMS staff attending to the patient on the field. The prefield assessment on the same day of training and on postfield assessment after 3 months at school of virtual learning-simulation lab (SVL) was conducted. The data were gathered, tabulated, and analyzed for the percentage. Conclusion and Recommendation: Simulation-based teaching by a facilitator along with effective telesimulation creates an important link and gaps in the bridge between knowledge and technical skills. It has been found that overall patient care and performance of EMS staff was significantly improved; hence, recommendations for continuous assistance while transferring the patients are given. Training of the newly appointed EMS crew and the other available EMS services from the district should be aligned with assisted telecommunication services of AVBRH. Regular audit for quality improvement in EMS performance to be imparted.

Strengthening Financial Governance of Village-Owned Enterprises Sumber Arto Based on Private Entity Financial Accounting Standards

Transparent and accountable reporting of financial information is essential in managing Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). BUMDes Sumber Arto has a capital structure that comes from village funds, community funds, and village assets, so many parties are interested in the transparency of the management of these funds. The lack of competence and capacity of BUMDes directors and administrators in preparing reports causes the financial reports that have been prepared to be rejected by the village government. The accountability and transparency of fund management in BUMDes need to be clarified. This partnership program aims to transfer technology and knowledge regarding understanding accounting and presenting financial reports so that it can provide transparent and accountable information to the village government, management, community, and inspectorates. The approach used is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in counseling, mentoring, and training. The target community is the director and administrators of BUMDes Sumber Arto, Kenteng Village. The service activities were carried out from July to August 2023. The results of the service activities were that the BUMDes Director and BUMDes administrators could identify each business unit's business activities, strengths, and weaknesses. Furthermore, understanding of the accounting side of accounting began to increase, and the successful determination of the chart of accounts proved this. Furthermore, at the transaction input stage, continuous assistance is still needed so that manual notes can be minimized, and we can switch to a spreadsheet system, which is relatively easy to implement.

WEB-Based Empowerment of Individuals to Detect Health Status and Follow-Up Treatment

The high morbidity and mortality rate of the community is due to lack of knowledge in detecting health status and inability to make decisions to overcome health problems, causing delays in treatment. Providing education in the form of simulations and applying patents of a method of increasing independence for detecting health status and following up on appropriate treatment and patents of WEB site-based self-care methods is the application of information and communication technology in nursing services which is one solution to overcome this because it can optimize individual independence so that distance, time, place, and cost are not an obstacle to getting nursing services and achieving SDGs 3; ensuring a healthy life and improving the welfare of the population. Community service uses interview methods, health promotion about upper respiratory tract infections, hypertension, infections, rheumatism, dental caries, skin infections, refractive errors, pulmonary tuberculosis, pulp and pariapical tissue diseases and cataracts.

Home Care for the Elderly: An Integrated Approach to Perception, Quality of Life, and Cognition.

This study investigated the impact of home care, health status, and cognition. A qualitative and quantitative approach was employed through a cross-sectional study with a sample of 60 elderly individuals in need of home care in the municipality of Itatiba, São Paulo, Brazil. The analysis utilized the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DCS), EQ-5D, EQ VAS, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The sample consisted of 40.0% male and 60.0% female individuals. The majority (61.6%) received weekly visits, mainly from community health agents, who were responsible for the majority of the care (45%). Positive considerations were highlighted, with 36.6% emphasizing the contribution to treatment continuity. The EQ VAS assessment indicated a moderately good perception of health. The EQ-5D analysis revealed significant differences between genders in personal care (p = 0.04). There were significant differences between clinical characteristics and EQ-5D dimensions, such as neoplasia and reduced mobility (p = 0.04), and arthritis/osteoarthritis/rheumatism and a limitation in common activities (p = 0.01). The presence of anxiety/depression was significant in cases of neoplasia (p = 0.006), arthritis/osteoarthritis/rheumatism (p = 0.01), and stroke (p = 0.04). The logistic regression analysis showed associations between usual activities and arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism (p = 0.034), pain/malaise and arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism (p = 0.038), and anxiety/depression and stroke (p= 0.028). The average MMSE scores (17.52) suggested a mild cognitive impairment, with no statistical differences between genders. Based on these results, it can be concluded that home care can provide a comprehensive approach and continuous assistance, emphasizing the importance of personalized care based on perceived and clinical differences.

Patients' Experiences With Digitalization in the Health Care System: Qualitative Interview Study.

The digitalization of public and health sectors worldwide is fundamentally changing health systems. With the implementation of digital health services in health institutions, a focus on digital health literacy and the use of digital health services have become more evident. In Denmark, public institutions use digital tools for different purposes, aiming to create a universal public digital sector for everyone. However, this digitalization risks reducing equity in health and further marginalizing citizens who are disadvantaged. Therefore, more knowledge is needed regarding patients' digital practices and experiences with digital health services. This study aims to examine digital practices and experiences with public digital health services and digital tools from the perspective of patients in the neurology field and address the following research questions: (1) How do patients use digital services and digital tools? (2) How do they experience them? We used a qualitative design with a hermeneutic approach. We conducted 31 semistructured interviews with patients who were hospitalized or formerly hospitalized at the department of neurology in a hospital in Denmark. The interviews were audio recorded and subsequently transcribed. The text from each transcribed interview was analyzed using manifest content analysis. The analysis provided insights into 4 different categories regarding digital practices and experiences of using digital tools and services in health care systems: social resources as a digital lifeline, possessing the necessary capabilities, big feelings as facilitators or barriers, and life without digital tools. Our findings show that digital tools were experienced differently, and specific conditions were important for the possibility of engaging in digital practices, including having access to social resources; possessing physical, cognitive, and communicative capabilities; and feeling motivated, secure, and comfortable. These prerequisites were necessary for participants to have positive experiences using digital tools in the health care system. Those who did not have these prerequisites experienced challenges and, in some cases, felt left out. Experiences with digital practices and digital health services are complex and multifaceted. Engagement in digital practices for the examined population requires access to continuous assistance from their social network. If patients do not meet requirements, digital health services can be experienced as exclusionary and a source of concern. Physical, cognitive, and communicative difficulties might make it impossible to use digital tools or create more challenges. To ensure that digitalization does not create inequities in health, it is necessary for developers and institutions to be aware of the differences in digital health literacy, focus on simplifying communication with patients and next of kin, and find flexible solutions for citizens who are disadvantaged.

The Utilization of Hand Soap for Hand Washing and Family Latrine Ownership as Preventive Measures Against Stunting in Infants and Toddlers in the Parigi Moutong District of Central Sulawesi Province

Stunting is a malnutrition condition in children under five, characterized by delayed growth and inappropriate height. Environmental factors, such as nutrition, digestive infections, low birth weight, and poor environmental sanitation, indirectly impact the health of children under five, affecting their nutritional status. This research aims to determine the level of knowledge, ownership of toilets, and hand washing habits as factors for preventing stunting in the working area of the Ampibabo Community Health Center. The study used an analytical observational research with a case-control design, with 70 respondents consisting of mothers of babies and toddlers. The results showed a relationship between knowledge, latrine ownership, and hand washing habits and stunting incidence in babies and toddlers. This suggests that community health centers should provide regular and continuous assistance to cadres in providing education about stunting prevention at all levels of society, especially those without family toilets and without soap-washing habits.

A Review on the Feasibility and Efficacy of Home-Based Cognitive Remediation in People with Multiple Sclerosis.

Cognitive impairment affects 34-65% of People with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS), significantly impacting their quality of life. Clinicians routinely address cognitive deficits with in-clinic neuro-behavioural interventions, but accessibility issues exist. Given these challenges, coupled with the lifelong need for continuous assistance in PwMS, researchers have underscored the advantageous role of telerehabilitation in addressing these requirements. Nonetheless, the feasibility and efficacy of home-based cognitive remediation remain to be firmly established. In this narrative review, we aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of digital telerehabilitation for cognition in PwMS. Thirteen relevant studies were identified and carefully assessed. Regarding the feasibility of cognitive telerehabilitation, evidence shows adherence rates are generally good, although, surprisingly, not all studies reported measures of compliance with the cognitive training explored. Considering the efficacy of rehabilitative techniques on cognitive performance in PwMS, findings are generally inconsistent, with only one study reporting uniformly positive results. A range of methodological limitations are reported as potential factors contributing to the variable results. Future research must address these challenges, as more rigorous studies are required to draw definitive conclusions regarding the efficacy of home-based cognitive remediation in PwMS. Researchers must prioritise identifying optimal intervention approaches and exploring the long-term effects of telerehabilitation.

Meeting the challenges and strategies regarding malaria elimination: qualitative evaluation of perceptions from a local population in Colombia

“One Health” and “Social Determinants of Health” approaches are crucial for implementation of sustainable strategies for the control and elimination of infectious diseases such as malaria. These approaches highlight the importance of the social component in the design of elimination strategies, as well as the communities’ involvement in the implementation of these measures at local levels. Qualitative analysis approaches for malaria research can be useful for assessing population acceptance of intervention measures and for addressing negative perceptions that can threaten the success of control goals by undermining the community’s trust in interventions. In this paper, we explore some observations and interpretations from the qualitative content analysis of two open-ended questions about malaria, from a survey conducted between September and November 2016 in Guapi, a high risk transmission area in the Colombian Pacific Region. Using the spatial transmission unit concept for the analysis of the conditions and factors involved in malaria transmission under the “One Health” and “Social Determinants of Health” approaches, we reveal that responders’ perceptions reflects both the need and requirement for continuous assistance to solve local problems and also a comprehensive problem-solving effort by the government that includes basic sanitation. From the analyses, we present a graphic model that illustrates how to address the problem of malaria control and elimination from the perspectives of the community’s perceptions in Guapi, highlighting the need for joint efforts of community, academy, and government to achieve the goal of controlling and eliminating malaria in the region.

This activity consists of counseling about preventing pulmonary TB disease and providing facilities to improve air circulation in classrooms. The results of the evaluation of student knowledge using a questionnaire showed that there was an increase in student knowledge. Providing facilities in the form of fans increases the availability of facilities to improve room air circulation so that the room air is more comfortable and feels cooler. Counseling with lectures and giving leaflets increases knowledge about pulmonary TB. The increase in the number of sanitation facilities has increased indoor air circulation making it more comfortable. Follow-up: Continuous assistance with broader targets (UKS, teachers, parents).

Student-Based Entrepreneurship Incubation Program for Student Startup Digital Business Development in Efforts to Optimize Sustainable Student Business

The student digital startup business development incubation program is one of the initiatives implemented to support the development of innovative and sustainable student businesses. This program aims to help students realize their competitive and sustainable business potential. Analysis of the entrepreneurial situation at the University of North Sumatra is currently in the process of development, marked by a large number of new young entrepreneurs from various entrepreneurial programs both internal to the university and outside the university, such as the Young Entrepreneurs program (PMW), Student Creativity Program (PKM), it known that in 2022 there will be 12 PKM funding for the entrepreneurship scheme, apart from that there were also three program winning entrepreneurs (P2MW). The problem is that there are limitations in opening up networking opportunities and market access for students just starting a business. There is a need for education from campuses and assistance regarding good business financial management, and there is still a need to improve sustainable entrepreneurship programs for students. There is a lack of qualified mentors or other resources and support. So, every startup from campus that has just started a business immediately loses enthusiasm and motivation because there is no continuous assistance. The method used to resolve this problem is assistance to improve student startup skills in providing competent human resources, financial assistance, and financial management literacy for student startups, providing facilities in the form of booths and business facilities, training and guidance to improve business management skills, and marketing. This program's online and offline results are characterized by opening up valuable opportunities for students to develop digital business ideas and promote sustainable business principles, allowing student businesses to contribute to sustainable growth.
