Flexible, Sensitive, Multifunctional Rubber-based Sensor with Multiple Responses to Infrared, Temperature, Humidity and Strain

Flexible wearable electronic sensors have attracted immense interest in human motion detection, body temperature monitoring and personal healthcare monitoring. However, most of reported sensors cannot integrate multifunctional applications at the same time though they own excellent single achievement of strain sensing or humidity sensing. Herein, we fabricate a multifunctional rubber-based flexible sensor (MRFS) with responses to infrared, temperature, humidity and strain. The sensor owns a superior strength (5.66 MPa), high stretchability (367%), high temperature coefficient of resistance (2.046%/℃) and high photothermal conversion efficiency (78.6%). For the sensing applications, it shows a rapid sensing of only 0.5 s for the temperature and humidity changes as well as a sensitive response to low-powered near infrared of 0.14 W/cm2, body temperature change from 33.6 to 35.6 ℃, and small amount of moisture on human skin. Moreover, the MRFS shows a considerable strain sensing for human joint motion and an antibacterial property.

Effect of Adaptive Exercise on Body Temperature in Children with Motoric Disorder

Motoric disorder in child increased every year, especially cerebral palsy. Children with motoric disorder which is majority experiencing long immobilization results in their general condition declining. One of this declining appears on body temperature in child, even lead to hypothermia. A simple exercise which applicatively performed at home can be a simple solution to maintain general condition, especially body temperature. The purpose of this study was to determine effect of adaptive exercise on body temperature change in children with motoric disorder. This study was an experimental study of one group pre and posttest. A total of 31 children (11 girls and 20 boys) aged 2-10 years old performed adaptive exercise consist of warming up 5 minutes, core movement 25 minutes, cooling down 5 minutes. Data were analyzed by paired T test. Body temperature in pretest was 36.12 ± 0.53oC, and body temperature in posttest was 36.63 ± 0.6oC, with p = 0.00. Adaptive exercise can increase body temperature but still in normal range.

Utilization of Infrared Thermography in Cattle Production and Its Application Potency in Indonesia

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-invasive remote sensing method to detect temperature. Many studies have shown that temperature in several regions of the body could be representative of core body temperature. Body temperature of cattle can be used to evaluate health status, stress, thermal balance, and feed efficiency. The aim of this article is to review utilization of IRT in cattle production system and its potency to be applied in Indonesia. The ability of IRT to detect even the small change of body surface temperature has made this device is very useful in cattle production industry. Infrared thermography has been used as a tool to detect an early detection of inflammation as sign of some diseases such as mastitis, foot and mouth disease. Infrared thermography can also evaluate feed efficiency through detection of heat production produced by metabolism process. Some important constraints of cattle production in Indonesia such as diseases and low feed efficiency may have strong correlation with body temperature change. Therefore, IRT is very potential to be applied in cattle farms in Indonesia.

THE EFFECT OF KANGAROO CARE METHOD ON THE CHANGE OF BODY TEMPERATURE IN LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS (LBWI)

THE EFFECT OF KANGAROO CARE METHOD ON THE CHANGE OF BODY TEMPERATURE IN LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS (LBWI) Bety Maya Sari1, Dian Fitra Arismawati2, Riska Aprilia Wardani3 Correspondence email : [email protected] Dian Husada Institute of Health Science Mojokerto ABSTRACT Introduction: Low Birth Weight Infants (LBWI) is infants with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams regardless of gestation. Babies with low birth weight (LBW) require proper care in order to avoid harmful things, one of which is Kangaroo Care Method. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of kangaroo care method on changes in body temperature in LBW infants. Methods: The research design used was pre-experimental with design category (One group pretest-Post). Sampling technique used is consecutive sampling technique. Independent variable in this research is kangaroo care method. Variable dependent in this research is body temperature change. The data were collected through observation analysis with Wilcoxon test to determine whether there was any difference between two samples. The Results: The result of measuring body temperature in Low Birth Weight Infants indicates a change of given intervention kangaroo care method in body temperature with body temperature average of 36.30 C and there are 2 infants who had a decrease in body temperature after a given intervention. The result of statistic test showed that there was effect of kangaroo care method with Z value of 3.114 and with significant level of 0.002. Conclusion: The results of the research above proves that kangaroo care method can increase body temperature of in infants who experience LBW, so the kangaroo care method could be a substitute for incubator in overcoming hypothermia in LBW infants. Keywords: Kangaroo care method, body temperature, LBWI
