Currently, robots can be used for additional purposes, people trying to perform difficult tasks. These robots also have the potential to become more powerful and use sensors not available to humans, giving supernatural abilities to guards that they may not have. Robotic arms are widely used for industry, hospitals, and education. The main function of the robotic arm is to control movement. The robotic arm is operated manually by humans. Since being attacked by this covid 19 epidemic, robotic learning has been difficult to implement where students are forced to go through online learning. Therefore, the research is allowing the students to implement robotic arms through online learning. The purpose of this study is to implement a robotic arm using the Internet of Things (IoT). The robotic arm has been developed with four Degrees of Freedom (DOF). The robotic arm can operate and be controlled by Blynk applications. By using the esp8266 Wi-Fi module, the robot arm can directly connect to the internet. In this study, the most important is to determine to move robotic arms using IoT. Thus, experiments for robotic arms using IoT were carried out.

Research on the characterization of gold ore from Babakan Loa sub-district and studies of leaching in cyanide solution has been carried out. This research was conducted to determine the characteristics of gold ore from Babakan Loa and the leaching behavior in cyanide solution. The preparations carried out were crushing and grinding to obtain several size fractions. The ore characterization was carried out through XRD, XRF, SEM-EDX, and wet chemical analysis. XRD analysis results show that the main mineral phases are quartz, hematite, goethite, kaolinite, montmorillonite, and berlinite. The main constituents of the ore were Si (60.96%), Fe (10.71%), K (5.47%), and Al (19.53%). The Au content was 7.8 ppm, and the results of SEM-EDX analysis show that the gold grain size is smaller than 10µm. The leaching process showed that the highest percent gold extraction data of 92.7% was obtained in experiments with 1000 ppm sodium cyanide concentration, 10% solids percent, and 104-149µm grain size. Increasing the percentage of solids and the reduction in grain size led to a decrease in the percentage of gold extraction. The clay content was suspected to be the cause of the ineffectiveness of the leaching process in this study.

Colorectal cancer may be maintained by cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) that express the cell surface marker CD133. CSCs (CD133+cells) exhibits greater resistance to the chemotherapy and this resistance may be mediated in part by an autocrine response to IL4. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of anti-IL4 antibody alone or in combination with chemotherapy on the CD133 expression andthe tumor growth. We used Caco cell line in our experiments and the samples were as the following; untreated colorectal cell line, cells treated by chemotherapy, cells treated by anti-IL4 antibody in 3doses (2.5, 5, 10μg/ml), cells treatedby combination of chemotherapy and anti-IL4 antibody in 3 doses. Results of our in vitro studies demonstrated that anti-IL4 inhibited growth of Caco cell line in a dose-dependent manner revealing a 32.11% inhibition at the highest concentration (10µg/ml). There was further significant inhibition by combination of anti IL4 and chemotherapy in a dose response manner when compared to group treated by chemotherapy only. These effects were associated with decreased expression of CD133 in tumor cells also. Lastly, anti-IL4 antibody stimulated apoptosis. Our study suggested that neutralizing of IL4 by anti IL4 antibody affect the CD133+ cells may be by increasing their apoptosis. The effects of anti IL4 antibody either, alone or in combination with chemotherapy, inhibited the tumor growth and decreased the viable tumor cells. Furthermore, neutralizing of IL4 increased the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment.

International audience; Short telomere length (TL) is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) and other age-related diseases. It is unclear whether these associations originate from having inherently short TL or a faster TL attrition before or during disease development. We proposed the blood-and-muscle model to assess TL dynamics throughout life course. Our objective was to measure TL in leukocytes (LTL) and in skeletal muscle (MTL), which served as a proxy of TL at birth. The delta (MTL-LTL) represented life-long telomere attrition. Blood draws and skeletal muscle biopsies were performed on 35 Lebanese individuals undergoing surgery. Following DNA extraction, LTL and MTL were measured by Southern blot. In every individual aged between 30 and 85 years, MTL was longer than LTL. With age, MTL and LTL decreased, but the delta (MTL-LTL) increased by 14 bp/year. We validated the blood-and-muscle model that allowed us to identify TL, TL at birth, and lifelong TL attrition in a cross-sectional study. This model can be used in larger cross-sectional studies to evaluate the association of telomere dynamics with age-related diseases onset and progression.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Ca soap of palm oil fatty acids (CSFA), as a protected fat, on milk composition and the performance of both ewes and lambs. Thirty-three crossbred ewes aged 2-3 years and weighed 41-44 kg were allocated in three unequal groups for A, B &C (10, 12 &11 ewes, respectively). Group A was fed a diet free from protected fat and kept as a control. Group B was fed a diet containing 4 % fat and group C was given a diet containing 8 % fat. The ewes were in the last month of pregnancy and the experiment extended till the end of late lactation (4.5 months). Milk composition was tested, and body change in ewes and nursing lambs was traced. Moreover, the effect of fat addition on dry matter intake of ewes was analyzed. Results revealed a decrease in dry matter intake in the late gestation and an increase in early lactation, with no significant differences in the late lactation. The effect followed the amount of fat added. There was no effect on ewe’s body weight change or lamb’s growth rate from birth to weaning. On milk composition, there was an increase in fat %, higher in group B and total solids%, while percentage of protein was decreased. Concerning fat supplementation, no effect on lactose, urea milk nitrogen, and somatic cell counts was detected. There was a decreased level of solids-not-fat in group B, while group C showed no detectable alterations. In conclusion CSFA supplementation was effective to increase the fat % and yield in milk of sheep especially at the rate of 4% of addition.

Character education is an education-focused in implementing moral values, ethics and citizenship education. This is an approach to developing good character and developing the school as a caring community. The youngest generation nowadays, which primarily targeted by character education was born facing already-advanced ICT (Information and Communication Technology), so it recommended using an ICT's benefit like AR. An AR (Augmented Reality is a system that supplements the real world with virtual objects that appear to coexist in the same space as the real world. Augmented Reality offers an immersive virtual learning experience; as a result, an education that was giving more than standard audio-visual material. In this research, the developing an ICT based application for character education using Augmented Reality as the main feature, and will be discussed explicitly about an augmented reality that running on the mobile device that will be using specifically for the character education. The program will be developed throughout the following methodology: Literature Review, to provide information and knowledge how to build and to apply an AR-based application and finding the right sampling method, Building the Apps, using Unity integrated with Vuforia Engine. Unity is a game engine capable of developing computer, console or mobile game. Vuforia is a platform for developing Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality, Application Testing, test the AR system in the real world environment. The Result is an android app that could capture the "marker" and make the AR appearing in the smartphone device. This result used to help teachers to educate the young students that still need a character education to build their good character stronger.

In this paper, we propose a quadratic programming model to determine the optimal decision for integrated supplier selection and inventory control. The corresponding optimization is solved by using constrained quadratic optimization method i.e. Karush-Kuhn-Tucker Method performed in LINGO 17.0 to determine the optimal joint decisions which are the optimal supplier and the optimal inventory. A numerical experiment was performed to analyze the model with a multi-product, multi-supplier, multi-carrier and multi-period inventory system. From the results we have found, we can find the optimal supplier for each product and each period.

The density of Aedes sp in a region has critical influence on the high incidence of dengue. This aims of study was to determine the effect of modification of ovitrap and attractant substances on the density of Aedes sp mosquitoes in endemic areas of Makassar. The research type was experimental with pretest-posttest Randomized Control Design. Samples are eggs and larvae present in the household who was arrested with ovitrap and attractants. The results of the study reported that mosquito density using ovitrap index in highly endemic areas in the water immersion straw 10% 131 eggs per ovitrap, shrimp soaking water 103 eggs per ovitrap and rainwater result 23 eggs per ovitrap, whereas in endemic areas of low density of Aedes sp trapped using straw soaking water 10% 81 eggs per ovitrap, shrimp soaking water 10% 67 eggs per ovitrap and rainwater 18 eggs per ovitrap. Bivariate analysis results indicated that there were significant difference in reduction of larvae density before the intervention and after intervention using water immersion hay 10% and 10% water shrimp marinade. Where in highly endemic areas the average number of larvae pretest = 17 and postest =7 whereas the low endemic areas the average number of larvae pretest = 6 and postest = 2 with significant value for both sites, namely p = 0.000. The use of lethal ovitrap containing hay immersion water 10% and water shrimp marinade 10% could be applied for controlling the Aedes mosquito.

The incidence and mortality rate from cervical cancer ranks to top second only to breast cancer in the world. Meanwhile, in developing countries it still tops the list as a cause of cancer deaths in the reproductive age. Every day in Indonesia, there are 40 women diagnosed and 20 women die from cervical cancer. This study aims to identify the most dominant factors influence the incidence of cervical cancer and its impact on patient???s quality life. The study was a cross-sectional study with 97 respondents in Fatimah and Labuang Baji Hospitals, Makassar. Laboratory method used is a pap smear. Results then tested using a logistic regression. Of the 12 independent variables it was found that the most dominant factor in influencing the occurrence of cervical cancer is early sex (married at age ??? 20 years), whereas the unpaired t test found that the quality of life in patients with cervical cancer is lower than those non-sufferers of cervical cancer. This study concludes that there is an effect of age on the incidence of cervical cancer, which ???35 years of age is a risk factor of cancer. Then, effect of age of first marriage / early sex on the incidence of cervical cancer, which ??? 20 years of age is a risk factor for cervical cancer. It is suggested that needs more information to socialize on the maturation age of marriage in society, fertile couples (EFA)> 35 years and evaluation of hormonal contraception.

In liquefied natural gas (LNG) process production, one of the important units is heavy hydrocarbon removal unit to prevent freezing during liquefaction. For small scale of LNG plant, this unit is usually integrated with main heat exchanger. Feed is obtained from main heat exchanger then flows to separator to separate liquid from gas. The separator operating condition is called as Midpoint condition. Selecting Midpoint conditions have impact to light hydrocarbon losses, Specific Brake Horse Power (SBHP) process, and heating value of LNG. Hence understanding of selecting this condition and its effect to light hydrocarbon losses, SBHP process, and HHV of LNG will help to design more efficient LNG plant. According to study, the lower of Mid-Point temperature will result in lower SBHP, lower of light hydrocarbon losses, and increase LNG of HHV value. Meanwhile, the higher Mid-Point pressure will result in lower SBHP, higher light hydrocarbon losses, and lower LNG of HHV value. The change of Mid-Point pressures have more impact to light hydrocarbon losses than SBHP process.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomes 4 and 14q in early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: A total of 70, largely microsatellite stable, tumours and their corresponding normal mucosa were subjected to microdissection and analysed for LOH at chromosomes 4 and 14q by using 13 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. LOH was correlated with the survival of the patients, using univariate, multivariate and Kaplan–Meier’s survival curves. Result: LOH at D4S2935, D4S1579 and D4S1595 on chromosome 4 was significantly associated with metastatic recurrence of early-stage CRC. For chromosome arm 14q, two minimal regions of deletion were associated with metastatic recurrence and mapped to neighbouring markers D14S275/D14S49 at 14q12–13 and D14S65/D14S250 at 14q32. High-level loss (loss of five to eight of the informative microsatellite markers) on both chromosomes 4 and 14q, to be an independent prognostic indicator in early-stage CRC was shown by multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Determining the LOH of chromosomes 4 and 14q and their extent in primary tumours of patients with early-stage CRC may constitute a molecular signature of metastatic recurrence. This may be achieved if new finding sheds light on the treatment of this subgroup of patients that have been largely ignored.

Isolated primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the frontal sinus is rare. We describe the case of a middle-aged man who came to us with signs of orbital cellulitis complicating an acute infected frontal mucocele. His condition was initially controlled with medical therapy and subsequent endoscopic sinus surgery, but his symptoms eventually returned. We were able to diagnose the lymphoma only by approaching the sinus externally to obtain a biopsy. This case highlights the importance of making a full visual inspection of the involved sinus in order to avoid missing an unexpected, albeit a rarely encountered, pathology.

Two hundred and seventy schizophrenia patients were interviewed using the Present State Examination to elicit the phenomenological symptoms of the illness. Cultural factors and ethnicity were found to be significant variables associated with the symptoms. Higher prevalence of religious and other subculturally related delusions were common in Kelantan patients. Our general belief that Malaysian culture influences symptomatology of mental illness seems to be proven.

The quality of rendered leaf fat from mature breeder fowl which contained varying amounts of tocopherol due to in vivo dietary supplementation or due to direct in vitro addition was investigated. Treatments were dietary supplementation with d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate at levels of 0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.100% (0 to 1360 I.U./kg. feed) for 3 weeks pre-slaughter and in vitro d-alpha-tocopherol addition of 0, 10.74, 21.48, 32.22 and 42.96 μg./ml. of rendered fat (0 to 6.4 I.U./100 ml. fat) of fowl fed 3 weeks on a diet containing no tocopherol supplementation. Parameters used to estimate fat quality included AOM stability time, free fatty acid content, initial peroxide value, and moisture and volatile matter content. Tocopherol content of the rendered fat was also determined. Fat tocopherol content was found to be significantly related to AOM stability time (r = 0.93, P

A new method for the chemical labelling of nucleic acid with biotin to produce non-radioactive probes has been developed. NN'-Bis-(3-aminopropyl)butane-1,4-diamine (spermine) and long-chain diamino compounds (diaminohexane, diaminodecane and diaminododecane) were linked covalently to biotin and the resultant conjugates were attached to nucleic acid by using a cross-linking reagent (glutaraldehyde or diepoxyoctane). Iodoacetylation and biotinylation of the long-chain diamino compounds produced modified biotinylated conjugates that can be linked to DNA without the use of a cross-linking reagent. These types of probes attach one biotin molecule to each linker arm of spermine, diamino and iodoacetylated amino derivatives. Such probes have long linker arms separating the biotin moiety from the hybridization sites of the nucleic acid. These probes can detect 10 pg of target DNA by dot-blot hybridization.
