Seaweed Gracilaria verrucosa is one of the potential marine natural resource commodities in Karawang Regency, Indonesia. The G. verrucosa-enriched bar soap is one of the added value products that can be developed from seaweed since it has a potential antiseptic function for human skin. Also, the seaweed-enriched bar soap sale can give more incomes for the seaweed farmers and coastal community in Karawang Regency. This study aims to produce bar soap with the addition of different seaweed G. verrucosa formulation and to examine the sensory, physicochemical, and bioactivity characteristics of G. verrucosa-enriched bar soap. This study applied five variants: the bar soap with extract of water + 250 ppm of seaweed (W250), extract of water + 500 ppm of seaweed (W500), extract of water + 750 ppm of seaweed (W750), extract of ethanol + 750 ppm of seaweed (E750), and seaweed pulp (SWP). The bar soap of variant W500 has the highest attributes according to the sensory and physicochemical analysis, while the variant SWP has the highest bioactivity parameter. From the results, the bar soap of variant W500 and SWP can be the candidates for further product development.

The potential of abundant natural resources in Gunungsari Village, Serang Regency, is still unable to improve the economic standard of life of the community, this is due to the lack of community skills and the lack of public knowledge in optimizing the potential of these natural resources into economic added value. This method of community economic empowerment through optimization of natural resource potential in Gunungsari Village, Serang Regency uses an environmental communication strategy which includes 1) Material Stage; 2) Energy Phase; 3) Information Stage, and 4) Evaluation Stage. The results of community service concluded that community economic empowerment through optimizing the potential of natural resources received a positive response and enthusiasm from the community, with the success rate of training program indicators being on an interval scale with an average value of 70% or a fairly good category. Thus it can be concluded that encouraging the skills training of the Gunungsari Village community in utilizing the natural resource potential of the papaya fruit is very important to improve the welfare of rural communities.

Innovations are urgently required to transform toward a more circular food system in which the food production and processing is more sustainable and the dietary patterns of consumers are more healthy and sustainable. It is needed to be more innovative in a multidisciplinary and consumer oriented way. Therefore, this paper introduces circular food design model and presents some applications. This paper presents background information regarding relevant models of product development and combines approaches and insights from different disciplines, such as consumer and food science, all present in the food system. In addition, the linkage with design thinking is addressed. Moreover, research questions are presented focused on the identification, development and optimization phase with regard to agricultural production, food storage, processing, retail and consumption. This circular food design model can support a way of thinking that will lead to multidisciplinary and citizen participating in food product development. The added value of circular food design model is; first, the model stimulates a citizen participation approach in a creative way; second, the model supports communication and collaboration among all involved disciplines. The newly developed circular food design model visualizes an iterative approach meant to be a flexible and creative tool to structure the new food development in the different phases to support value creation in the food system in order to support its transition.

Measuring quality in design-driven innovation is part of the larger subject of product design, supply chain management and new product development (NPD). In other words, better design and supply chain integration increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the production development process. In this work, I have studied the role of understanding the needs of customers and design approaches for new products through a combination of customer feedback and participation of designers in the first phase of new product development. Furthermore, I discuss why the incorporation of both designers and customer needs is important to design-driven innovation. In the second phase of this study, I present several case studies in terms of supplier-buyer relationships in order to find a solution that achieves a long-term relationship (the alliance-star model) in new product development, which is a crucial problem in the Blue Ocean Strategy. Finally, by presenting the CDFS (Customer-Designer-Firm-Supplier) strategic model, we show schematically the integrated-comprehensive process approach for creating a new innovative product from the concept phase through to the end of Product life cycle. This model presents the process of new innovation, which can ensure added value during Product life cycle.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emanating from human skin contribute to an individual’s body odour. Understanding the modulation of human odour by a fragrance is of significant importance to the cosmetic sector in the design, development and evaluation of new products. The present research describes an in vivo approach for passive headspace sampling of skin volatile emissions in human participants. A wearable headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method has been employed to investigate baseline endogenous skin volatiles and the subsequent modulation of skin volatile profiles after application of a fragrance to skin. Coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) this method enables characterisation of scent profiles and fragrance longevity in vivo. A total of 51 compounds were identified in participants’ skin, including 19 endogenous and 32 fragrance-derived compounds. The temporal variation in volatile profiles at different times after fragrance application was investigated. Fragrance diffusion from skin varied between participants resulting in diversified scent profiles over time. This non-invasive approach could be employed during cosmetic product development for in vivo evaluation of fragrance profiles and for assessment of the retention of fragrance components in skin to reduce reliance on expert panels during product development.

Abstract Pacific Russia is a region with a unique natural resource and economic potential, where effective socio-economic development is possible due to its favourable economic and geographical location and cross-border cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. An important role in the development of foreign economic cooperation belongs to the sectors of the marine industry. At the same time, it should be noted that the commodity structure of exports from the Pacific region of Russia is dominated by products with low added value, and in the structure of imports, on the contrary, manufacturing products. The current trends in cross-border cooperation are due to the current structure of production in Pacific Russia, the influence of natural resource and transport factors, and the demand of foreign consumers. In Pacific Russia, there are coastal (Pacific) “Northern” and “Southern” socio-economic zones - in the “Northern”, there is the highest share of mining, production and distribution of electricity; in the “Southern” – a high share of fishing and fish farming, manufacturing, services, transport and communications.

Gilgit and Chitral are thought to be most powerless against atmosphere fluctuation including flooding. The recurrence and seriousness of surges in Northern regions in the course of the most recent decade has expanded extensively. Through subjective demonstrating the paper investigates the effect of surges on normal asset subordinate groups in Northern Areas in particular Gilgit and Chitral. The outcomes show that a few attributes of the socio-social condition seem to moderate hazard and diminish defenselessness. In this specific circumstance, the part of informal communities in improving business security is fundamental. The paper reasons that both if there should arise an occurrence of occasional varieties in horticultural yield and surges, people that have successfully expanded their jobs, both occupationally and geologically, are less delicate than people who predominantly accomplish privilege to sustenance by means of product development. In any case, the peoplegetting settlements were likewise in better condition to alleviate the surge related vulnerabilities in the zone.

Abstract Cattle dung fibre is a lignocellulosic material abundant and sustainable non-wood source of polymeric components, which can be converted into high added-value products. Hydrothermal treatment of the fibre obtained from cow dung was explored using four different temperatures (120, 140, 160 and 180 ◦C) and incubation times (0 and 120 minutes) at a fixed material to water ratio (1:10). The present study resulted in the highest yield of 94% (w/w) that gradually decreased with temperature and incubation time. The physicochemical analysis revealed that hydrothermal treatment resulted in high cellulose, low lignin, and ash content (51.6%, 30.93%, and 6.3%, respectively) at 160◦C for 2 hr incubation time and was appropriate for pulp and paper production. The SEM and X-ray crystallography indicates the treatment resulted in separated fibrils and a porous structure. Both FTIR studies and chemical characterisation techniques were used to optimize the temperature and duration of hydrothermal treatment. Overall, the study presents the first report on the extraction of fibres from cow dung and their hydrothermal treatment. In perspective, it is possible to achieve the properties required for its industrial-scale conversion to eco-friendly papers by heating the fibre under controlled conditions.

This study aimed to adopt the perspective of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to explore the intention of sustainable product development in Taiwan, as well as leading to the creation of influential factors that affect corporate sustainable product development intention. In this research, the induction analysis was conducted to understand the implementation of sustainable product development, and this was supplemented with questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews to evaluate developmental intention. In addition, principal component analysis was used for factor analysis and content analysis in the 6 W expression method, leading to the creation of the influential factors. The research results have demonstrated that the factors affecting the intention of corporate sustainable product development include having a sustainable design and a development purpose, a corporate development purpose, sustainable development concepts, a sustainable design value, a sustainability concept, and a manufacturing process quality. For sustainable product development, corporate social responsibility needs to be most concerned with the added value of products, regulation requirements, and accommodation of the industrial chain, costs, and quality.

This paper presents the integrated product development tool Design for Autonomy for reengineering of complex products. The objective is to assure that the product can be designed, produced and operated in Brazil for a defined period of time at a minimum risk of being dependent on export bans or unavailability of components. This tool is a new member of the Design for X family, which aims at integrating the requirements from the autonomy area into the conceptual phase of the product development process. Development guidelines derived from the procedures of the generic Design for X development framework are presented that lead to a balance between functionality and operability. The Design for Autonomy tool contains four steps: (1) Analysis of the product in order to identify critical elements; (2) Preparation of nationalization; (3) Reverse engineering of the original product in order to obtain technological know-how; and (4) Forward engineering for a national product, stimulating improvements and added value. The implementation can be evaluated by qualitative and quantitative performance criteria comparing the national product with the baseline configuration of the original product. The Design for Autonomy tool is being successfully applied and verified on a pilot project in the Brazilian space sector.
