Background: Abortion was legalized in Nepal in 2002, following advocacy efforts highlighting high maternal mortality from unsafe abortion. We sought to assess whether legalization led to reductions in the most serious maternal health consequences of unsafe

Background: Unsafe abortion has been a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Nepal. Since legalization in 2002, more than 1,200 providers have been trained and 487 sites have been certified for the provision of safe abortion services. Li

Various chemicals are known to impact biological systems disrupting normal homeostasis, especially the endocrine system, called endocrine disrupting chemicals. Endocrine disrupting chemicals are universal in the environment, and a low concentration (µg/L to ng/L) severely impacts human health and wildlife due to transgenerational and multigenerational effects. The present review analyzed original research articles (109), review articles (76), short communication (20), article report (1), monograph (1), and scientific reports (2) via PubChem, science direct, National Center for Biotechnology Information, web of science on the source and fate of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the environment which are a prime concern to public health. A thorough investigation of the fate of these contaminants in environmental matrices such as air, water, soil, and biota is prioritized to form a clear link between the exposure and its effect on humans and biota. Environmental guidelines for these chemicals in environmental matrices and their treatment methods are also discussed in the review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Background The quality of the statistics on causes of death (CoD) does not present consolidated indicators in literature further than the coding group of ill-defined conditions of the International Classification of Diseases. Our objective was to assess the territorial quality of CoD by reliability of the official mortality statistics in Spain over the years 1980–2019. Methods A descriptive epidemiological design of four decades (1980-, 1990-, 2000-, and 2010–2019) by region (18) and sex was implemented. The CoD cases, age-adjusted rates and ratios (to all-cause) were assigned by reliability to unspecific and ill-defined quality categories. The regional mortality rates were contrasted to the Spanish median by decade and sex by the Comparative Mortality Ratio (CMR) in a Bayesian perspective. Statistical significance was considered when the CMR did not contain the value 1 in the 95% credible intervals. Results Unspecific, ill-defined, and all-cause rates by region and sex decreased over 1980–2019, although they scored higher in men than in women. The ratio of ill-defined CoD decreased in both sexes over these decades, but was still prominent in 4 regions. CMR of ill-defined CoD in both sexes exceeded the Spanish median in 3 regions in all decades. In the last decade, women’s CMR significantly exceeded in 5 regions for ill-defined and in 6 regions for unspecific CoD, while men’s CMR exceeded in 4 and 2 of the 18 regions, respectively on quality categories. Conclusions The quality of mortality statistics of causes of death has increased over the 40 years in Spain in both sexes. Quality gaps still remain mostly in Southern regions. Authorities involved might consider to take action and upgrading regional and national death statistics, and developing a systematic medical post-grade training on death certification.

Baterai lithium-ion merupakan salah satu jenis baterai yang banyak digunakan pada kendaraan listrik maupun perangkat elektronik dimasa kini, karena memiliki performa yang baik dengan densitas energi lebih tinggi dan umur pakai panjang. Penelitian ini menggunakan baterai dengan jenis lithium-ion tipe INR 18650 3.7volt 2500mAh dengan bahan lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNiCoAlO2). Jumlah baterai adalah 15 sel, dengan total kapasitas yang terpasang pada BMS sebesar 11.1 volt 12500 mAh. Lama waktu pengisian baterai dari kondisi low voltage (8.8v) sampai kondis high voltage (12.8v) memakan waktu selama 7 jam, dengan tegangan input 12v. Sistem cut off low voltage dan high voltage berhasil dilakukan BMS, dengan sistem proteksi yang memutus aliran pengisian ketika baterai sudah mencapai kondisi high yaitu 4.2v, dan memutus aliran pengurasan ketika baterai berada pada kondisi low yaitu 2.8v. Sistem balancing BMS berhasil melakukan penyeimbangan tegangan pada semua sel baterai ketika dilakukan pengisian, hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan pengukuran menggunakan multimeter kepada 15 sel baterai dalam kondisi penuh yaitu mengasilkan pembacaan tegangan sebesar 4.2v.

The increasing number of flights proves that the public believes air transportation is one of the most desirable. Of course, the operation of the claim baggage conveyor will increase along with the number of existing passenger luggage. For this reason, the operation of the baggage claim conveyor needs to be done with the help of technology. This research was conducted to assist the work of airline porters, including time and energy efficiency through technology. This tool uses the Arduino Uno microcontroller as the program processing centre. This system will work when the Infrared sensor detects baggage after an x-ray, so the conveyor will be activated automatically. After the conveyor runs, another Infrared sensor will see the baggage on the conveyor. The conveyor will stop automatically when the Infrared sensor does not detect any baggage for a particular time. This tool is equipped with a Push Button so that the baggage claim conveyor can be operated manually and an LCD to explain the instrument's condition and the amount of baggage available. The amount of luggage can be monitored periodically via a smartphone using the ESP8266 WiFi module.

Telecommunication technology is currently developing so fast, along with the need for people to communicate. 4G LTE network technology has many positive impacts on service users in communication access. Every provider user wants to have good network quality when used in exchanging information and communications. This study discusses the analysis of the quality of the 4G LTE network in the Purwokerto area by taking a drive test data. Analysis of the drive test is carried out using Map Info software to determine the signal condition in accordance with the range provider and the calculation of the percentage each month with 4G parameters, namely RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) and SINR (Signal to Interference Noise Ratio). The result of this analysis is a comparison of network quality in December 2019 based on the RSRP and SINR parameter values. In December, the RSRP value that met the standard ≥ = -95 dBm reached a percentage of 77.23% and in March it reached a percentage of 81.86%. For the SINR value in December 2019 which met the standard ≥ = 12 dB, it reached a percentage of 36.82% and in March it reached a percentage of 46.08%.

Teknologi jaringan 4G LTE memberikan banyak dampak positif bagi pengguna layanan dalam akses komunikasi. Setiap pengguna provider pasti berkeinginan untuk memiliki kualitas jaringan yang baik saat digunakan dalam bertukar informasi dan komunikasi. Penelitian ini membahas tentang Analisa kualitas jaringan 4G LTE di daerah Purwokerto dengan pengambilan data drive test. Analisa drive test dilakukan menggunakan software Map Info untuk mengetahui kondisi sinyal yang sesuai dengan range provider dan perhitungan persentase setiap bulannya dengan parameter 4G yaitu RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) dan SINR (Signal to Interference Noise Ratio). Hasil dari analisa ini adalah perbandingan kualitas jaringan pada bulan Desember 2019 berdasarkan nilai parameter RSRP dan SINR. Untuk bulan Desember nilai RSRP yang memenuhi standar ≥=-95 dBm mencapai persentase 77.23% dan bulan Maret mencapai persentase 81.86%. Untuk nilai SINR bulan Desember 2019 yang memenuhi standar ≥=12 dB mencapai persentase 36.82% dan bulan Maret mencapai persentase 46.08%.
