The appetite for seeking sustainable energy solutions has now reached a fever pitch and that is where the focus on new ways to tap into renewable energy sources has come to the forefront. Piezoelectric-based energy harvesting is a promising technology for providing electric power to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to extract relevant environmental information. The goal of this study is to maximize the both the mechanical and electomechanical design of such piezoelectric systems to improve their energy harvertsing1. With the help of MATLAB SIMULINK we do research for system response under different condition to understand electric to mechanical responses in an efficient way to arrest energy efficiency. These factors encompass mechanical stability, impedance matching, and efficient energy storage (as in rechargeable batteries). The results offer a general perspective for advancing piezoelectric energy harvesting technologies, and the proposed strategies serve as guidelines for future device design and optimization.

One of the major environmental contaminants that can be found on a global scale is arsenic. Sodium arsenite (NaAsO2) is one of the compounds of arsenic which is considered very toxic. Long term exposure to NaAsO2 can cause chemical complications in various organs of the body such as the liver, kidney, testes and brain tissues. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an antioxidant that can serve as an antitoxic effect. NaAsO2. In this topic, we examined the chemo-protective effect of BHT on NaAsO2 induced hepatotoxicity in male Wistar rats. Wistar rats (n=42, +120g) were randomly grouped into seven treatment groups: of 7 animals each Control 1(corn oil); Control 2(distilled water); NaAsO2 alone (2.5mg/kg). BHT alone (25 mg/kg); BHT only (25mg/kg); BHT+ NaAsO2 (25mg/kg + 2.5/kg), and BHT+ NaAsO2 (2.5g/kg + 50 mg/kg) and treated for 14 days. Markers of liver functions, inflammation, oxidative stress and antioxidant profile of liver were assayed spectrophotometrically. Our results showed that exposure to NaAsO2 resulted in dramatic increase in the levels of AST, ALT and ALP activity Furthermore, NaAsO2 increased the concentration of oxidative stress markers such as xanthine oxidase (XO) and lipid peroxidation (MDA) and inflammatory markers such as myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nitric oxide (NO) with a concomitant decrease in antioxidant markers such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). Glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and catalase. However, the co-exposure of rats to both BHT and NaAsO2 can result in significant decrease the parameters above. In conclusion, exposure of rats to NaAsO2 causes increased inflammatory and oxidative stress signals, but these harmful effects can be ameliorated by administration of antioxidants such as BHT as confirmed by this research.

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of white galangal (Alpinia galanga) on the quality of Nata de Coco and the development of modules as teaching materials for craft and entrepreneurship subjects in high school. The research methods used are experimentation and development. The experimental research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) pattern with 6 treatments and 4 replications. Treatments used white galangal extract with concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and controls using distilled water. The parameters measured include water content, microbial test, and organoleptic test. For organoleptic test uses a hedonic scale. Research on developing teaching modules uses the Research and Development (R&D) method referring to the 4-D Model, namely the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. Limited trial subjects were conducted on 10 class X students and implemented in all class X of SMA Negeri 2 Tolitoli. The results of experimental research show that the use of white galangal affects the quality of Nata de Coco (P<0.05), both in water content, bacterial colonies, and organoleptic properties. The results of research on the development of teaching modules show that the average value of expert validation results is 93.85%, validation the teacher gets a mark of 99.04%, and students got an average score of 91.19%. These results show that the teaching module for making Nata de Coco is very suitable for use in the craft and entrepreneurship learning process.

We provide a brief overview of the work done to date by Indian researchers on the synthesis of luminogenic molecules for the creation and assessment of organic light-emitting devices. Furthermore, our attention has only been on the "next generation" of blue emitters. Since 1987, blue OLED technology has been developed. As a result, we can observe the feathers growing in OLED technology every year. The current state of blue light emitting material design, which includes different emission molecules based on TADF, HLCT, phosphorescence, and fluorescence, is discussed in this work. Numerous research teams in India are focusing on blue-emitting materials to develop the most effective molecules for OLEDs. Here, we tried to cover all the blue light-emitting molecules that have been reported in India thus far by compiling data on the molecular structures of the materials that have already been published.

Meat is animal flesh eaten as food that is safe for consumers when properly prepared and consumed. This study aimed to describe meat safety practice and identify associated factors among butchery workers. Cross-sectional study using stratified random sampling conducted on 293 proportionally allocated butchery workers at Yeka Sub City, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Butchery workers have a 50.2% rate of practicing meat safety. Males were 68% less likely to practice good meat safety (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.13–0.80). Those with only primary education were 85% less likely to practice good meat safety compared to those with education above the secondary level (AOR = 0.15, 95% CI = 0.05–0.17). Workers serving fewer than 100 customers per day were 1.82 times more likely to practice good meat safety (AOR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.06–3.13). Those with satisfactory meat safety knowledge were 2.19 times more likely to practice good meat safety (AOR = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.22–3.94). Workers who had frequent sanitary visits within three months were 2.74 times more likely to practice good meat safety (AOR = 2.74, 95% CI = 1.57–4.77). Compared to other studies, observed a relatively poor practice of meat safety. Frequent sanitary visits were associated with better practices among butchery workers, indicating the need for strengthened education supplemented by visits from the regulatory agency. Additionally, assigning a separate person to handle money in meat retail shops is essential to improve meat safety practices.
肉类是作为食品食用的动物肉，在适当烹制和食用的情况下对消费者是安全的。本研究旨在描述屠宰工人的肉类安全做法并确定相关因素。横断面研究采用分层随机抽样的方法，对埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴耶卡次级城市按比例分配的 293 名屠宰工人进行了调查。屠宰工人的肉类安全操作率为 50.2%。男性从事肉类安全工作的可能性要低 68%（AOR = 0.32，95% CI = 0.13-0.80）。仅受过小学教育的人与受过中学以上教育的人相比，实行良好肉类安全的可能性要低 85%（AOR = 0.15，95% CI = 0.05-0.17）。每天为少于 100 名顾客提供服务的工人采用良好肉类安全做法的可能性要高出 1.82 倍（AOR = 1.82，95% CI = 1.06-3.13）。拥有令人满意的肉类安全知识的工人采用良好肉类安全做法的可能性是其他工人的 2.19 倍（AOR = 2.19，95% CI = 1.22-3.94）。在三个月内经常进行卫生检查的工人采用良好肉类安全措施的可能性要高出 2.74 倍（AOR = 2.74，95% CI = 1.57-4.77）。与其他研究相比，观察到的肉类安全实践相对较差。频繁的卫生检查与屠宰工人的良好操作有关，这表明需要加强教育，并辅以监管机构的检查。此外，在肉类零售店中指派单独的人员处理钱款对于改善肉类安全做法至关重要。

Additionally, assigning a separate person to handle money in meat retail shops is essential to improve meat safety practices.","PeriodicalId":14366,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Research Archive","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils is a relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly technology that is applicable over a large area of contaminated site. The paper is a case study of a successful ex situ bioremediation of a hydrocarbon contaminated site in Ogoni Land, Rivers State. The contaminated soils were excavated, treated in an engineered biocell, and sprinkled with nutrient media to enhance microbial population and biodegradation. The biocell was constructed using laterite material. The floor was lined with High Density Polyethylene material. The treatability study of the contaminated soil was conducted to determine the quantity of nutrient required to boost the microbial population in the affected soil. A PNutrient made up of (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) NPK 20-10-10 and urea at a quantity established by the EnviTech Calculator was used for the treatment. Due to varying depths and concentrations of the contaminant, nutrient adjustments necessary to enhance rapid microbial population and degradation were noted and undertaken. Soil sampling and analysis were conducted at the end of every treatment cycle to establish reduction of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon to an allowable limit. The project has proven to be successful and beneficial in the clean-up and restoration of Ogoni Land.
