Today, learning environments (LEs) are proceeding towards virtual environments (VEs) in which a sense of reality can be presented in three dimensions (3D) and a sense of inclusion can be experienced. A virtual learning environment (VLE) can be presented in a more realistic and visual manner with the use of innovative technologies such as virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality(AR). This paper examines how extended reality (XR) approaches and its applications are transforming virtual learning environments in the context of human education and learning. A systematic literature review from the Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE, ACM and Google Scholar databases was conducted in order to better understand XR's contributions to human education as well as learning.The potential uses of XR technology have been discussed in terms of its structure, past, present, and future directions of XR concerning education.The research conducted in this context has determined that XR is mostly being used in fields of education, learninig and simulating an emergency situation. XR technology can be applied to solve problems without causing harm to people or property, particularly in emergency scenarios and safety training. Finally, this study offer several novel approaches for addressing these challenges, as well as potential directions for future researchers seeking to specialize in using these emerging technologies for human education.

Encapsulation is the packaging of bioactive compounds to isolate and control their release upon applying specific conditions. By using inulin as the wall material for milk protein encapsulation, it can improve the stability and reduce the rate of protein release which can be related to better digestibility. This study aims to find the best encapsulation parameters for milk protein encapsulation using inulin based on the encapsulation efficiency and evaluate the protein release by simulation of intestinal fluid in vitro. Protein encapsulation was prepared under various parameters including inulin concentration, stirring temperature and stirring speed. The encapsulation parameters were analysed by Response Surface Methodology to obtain the highest encapsulation efficiency, which was subsequently used for the analysis of particle size, zeta potential and protein release kinetics. The results showed that inulin concentration was the most significant in determining encapsulation efficiency, and the highest encapsulation efficiency (75.90%) was achieved at 0.47 % w/v of inulin concentration, stirring temperature of 35.17°C and stirring speed of 510.79 rpm. The inulin-encapsulated milk protein produced under the best encapsulation parameters had an average particle size value of 485.8 nm and zeta potential of -10.5 mV. Zero order kinetics model was most suited to describe the encapsulated milk protein release, indicating slow release of protein that may be associated with better digestibility.

The demand for food consumption had increased by 60% due to the increase of human population, resulting in an increasing demand for sheep meat. High cost of imported feed had restricted the growth of the sheep industry. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of feeding total mixed ration (TMR) in the form of creep feed (CF) and growing ration (GR) to Dorper lambs compared to the control (CON) group fed with farm routine diet consisted of Napier grass and commercial pellet. Two (2) experimental phases were conducted, i.e., Phase I (CF) and Phase II (GR), which consisted of twenty (20) Dorper lambs with five (5) lambs in each group. The CF and GR consisted of constant metabolize energy (ME) (11 MJ/kg DM ME). The crude protein (CP) (%) in CF was varied at 14, 16, 18 and 20 for CON 14, CF 16, CF 18 and CF 20 respectively, whereas the CP (%) in GR was varied at 11, 14, 16 and 18 for CON 11, GR 14, GR 16 and GR 18 respectively. The cost of feed/kg gain (RM/kg) of CON 14 (1.63) and CF 18 (1.97) was significantly lowered (p<0.05) than CF 20 (3.35) whereas, GR 16 (8.94) was significantly lowered (p<0.05) than CON 11 (22.92) and GR 18 (23.99). This finding revealed that feeding local feed ingredients in TMR form, resulting in low feeding cost and subsequently higher economic returns. It can be concluded that feeding 18% CP (CF 18) and 16% CP (GR 16) were efficient to enhance the growth performance of pre-and post-weaning Dorper lambs respectively.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis affecting approximately 240 million people globally, with increasing prevalence with age. The knee is the most prevalent joint affected by OA and it causes physical disability and decreased motor function which consequently affects the activity of daily living including mobility. Pain is the main symptom that is characterized in OA, which is measured using self-rated scales or questionnaires to determine several aspects of the pain including the intensity, frequency, and pattern. Quantifying pain is a standard clinical practice to diagnose and monitor symptomatic OA, however, its application for severity assessment is not well explored. To date, the severity assessment of knee OA is only by radiographic severity assessment that does not necessarily reflect the symptomatic OA. In this study, gait analysis was performed on symptomatic knee OA patients. Distinctive gait kinematic features were extracted using principal component analysis (PCA). Pain score and the gait features including spatiotemporal and kinematics were used for clustering analysis. Two clustering algorithms, K-means and K-medoids were conducted to cluster samples with similar features to assess knee OA characterization. The clustering solutions were evaluated based on three measures which are the Davies Bouldin index, Calinzki Harabasz index, and Silhouette index. This study discovered that majority of the datasets which is 5 out of 9 datasets had the best performance (fulfill at least 2 out of 3 performance index criteria) when the number of clusters, k is 4 and using the k-means algorithm. These clustering models can be used in the future as the labeling class of symptomatic knee OA that is based on pain and gait characteristics of knee OA. Future studies are suggested to test other pain assessment scores, include other gait features such as kinetic and muscle activity features, and employ various types of feature selection methods to improve the clustering performance.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a heart related disease and is the top silent killer in worldwide. Frequent electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for patients with CVD is vital to check if arrhythmia occurs. Though there are lots of commercialized portable ECG monitoring device available, many of them are dedicated to professional clinical staff with complex user interface, or only targeted to specific arrhythmia for home monitoring with lack of data management system. In this study, an in-house developed ECG monitoring device was integrated with an Android-based mobile application through Bluetooth wireless communication and implements Google Cloud Technology. The Android-based mobile app supports main features of real-time ECG graph display, automated location detector, data management system and simple arrhythmia detection. The ECG graph displays acquired ECG signal in real-time by in-house ECG acquisition unit through Bluetooth wireless communication and stored as text files in phone’s local memory. Firebase Authentication and Firebase Storage based on Google Cloud technology are implemented for data management system development. This allows users and administrators to upload or access data securely through online Google Cloud Platform. Three types of heart rhythm, namely normal sinus rhythm, bradycardia and tachycardia can be classified based on heart rate analysis. Smartphone’s location service is enabled to allow user shares their location with caretaker in emergency case. The final solution utilizes the Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology to facilitate heart disease management towards telemedicine applications.

COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and quickly became a global outbreak in January 2020. COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which is a human transmission disease. Since it is a human transmission disease, thus mass gathering in public is not allowed to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19. However, the current monitoring technology, such as closed-circuit television (CCTV), only cover a limited area of the public and lack of mobility. Image classification is one of the approaches that can detect crowds in an image and can be done through either machine learning or deep learning approach. Recently, deep learning, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) outperform classical machine learning in image classification and the common approach for modelling CNN is through transfer learning. Thus, this study aims to develop a convolutional neural network that can detect illegal crowd gathering from offline drone view images through image classification using the transfer learning technique. Several models are used to train on the same dataset obtained, and the all-model performance is evaluated through a confusion matrix. Based on performance analysis, it shows that the ResNet50 model outperforms the VGG16 model and InceptionV3 model by achieving 95% test accuracy, 95% precision, 95% recall and 95% F1-score. In conclusion, it can be concluded that the deep learning approach uses a pre-trained convolutional neural network that can be used to classify object images in this study.

Today, the concept of Extended Reality (XR) technologies (XRs), such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), as very promising technological tools for education. The purpose of these technologies is to facilitate human life. In this context, educational technologies create new opportunities for students and teachers every day especially in education field. With various virtual environments (VE) and imaging systems, content that needs to be learned can be presented independently of school and classrooms in a low-cost and safe environment. As a result, teachers can create their own content with various applications, providing them with freedom of flexibility, and creativity. In this context, it is seen that XR has started to be used in various fields in education. When these fields and subjects are examined, it is observed that there is a concentration in the fields of education. The purpose of this narrative review is to describe the accelerators of XR (VR, AR, MR) technology in education settings. This literature review was conducted by conducting a systematic search of relevant articles and literature reviews through the university's online library, Google Scholar, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, and the ACM Digital Library. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the main components of XR technology in the educational process. A comprehensive review of XR technology including education, and learning was provided.

The knee brace is a very popular medical device commonly used for rehabilitation and injury prevention of knees. However, conventional knee braces can be very expensive for patients with limited financial resources. Previous study on low-cost knee braces conducted by Alexander Hendricks (2018) only consisted of braces design for Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) injuries. This paper aims to create a new low-cost knee brace design using 3D printing material that can be used for MCL, LCL and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries. The proposed design was developed and tested using SolidWorks simulation features. The simulated materials were set similar to the materials of three dimensional (3D) printing filaments and the dimensions of the knee braces were based upon an actual patient. The results of this study showed that the new designs have been improved in term of Factor of Safety (FOS), due to its adjustable hinges, while the price is much cheaper than conventional knee braces. In conclusion, the aims for this study have been achieved to develop a low-cost knee brace that can be used for MCL, LCL and ACL injuries.

The idea of bacterial scanning is realistic not only in operating rooms but also everywhere around human because bacteria and viruses grow everywhere. It is the job of individual and the community to keep the environment hygiene at all times. Several devices such as sterilizers, ultraviolet (UV) and autoclave are helpful to clean door handles, toilets, washbasins, railings, keyboards, seats, etc. However, those devices require either physical intact or chemical exposure to disinfect the areas without initial identification whether the bacteria are presence or not. If bacteria can be detected at the earliest time possible, preventive and initiative action can be taken and harmful bacteria can be prevented from infecting towards any personal. Hence, the development of Scan De Microbes is intended to address this situation. This system was developed as a scanning device to indicate the accumulation of bacteria on user’s hand where most interaction between a person and the surrounding is done by hand (i.e. eating, opening door, etc). The developed device is able to capture image of the hand which was illuminated by UV light under dark surrounding. Due to wide range of smart phone camera specification, all captured images were converted to a standard size image that acceptable for the application to process. The captured images later were processed and the orange color spot that appeared on the hand was calculated due to reaction of the bacteria with the hand. Results showed the estimated percentage of the accumulated bacteria on the hand from the processed images. The result page in the developed application was then displayed. This data later on can be saved and share wirelessly using Bluetooth of any apps available on the smartphone. Multiple images with different percentage of accumulated bacteria were tested using the application. The finding is conclusive and can be used as a preliminary accessor tool to investigate or detect any potential bacteria that already accumulate on the user’s hand. This development may assist the user in global warfare with the invisible enemy known to man as germ or bacteria in order to improve the livelihood and well-being of humans.
