“…Corrugator and zygomatic EMG reflect emotional facial actions of brow lowering and lip corner pulling, respectively (Dimberg, 1990). In previous studies, subjective valence ratings showed linear negative and positive associations with cEMG and zEMG activity, respectively (Greenwald et al, 1989;Lang et al, 1993;Bradley and Lang, 2000;Larsen et al, 2003;Tan et al, 2012;Sato et al, 2013Sato et al, , 2020Sato and Kochiyama, 2022). SCR reflects eccrine sweat gland activity, which is controlled by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (Boucsein, 2011).…”

Touch care has clinically positive effects on older adults. Touch can be delivered using robots, addressing the lack of caregivers. A recent study of younger participants showed that stroke touch delivered via robot produced subjective and physiologically positive emotional responses similar to those evoked by human touch. However, whether robotic touch can elicit similar responses in older adults remains unknown. We investigated this topic by assessing subjective rating (valence and arousal) and physiological signals [corrugator and zygomatic electromyography (EMG) and skin conductance response (SCR)] to gentle stroking motions delivered to the backs of older participants by robot and human agents at two different speeds: 2.6 and 8.5 cm/s. Following the recent study, the participants were informed that only the robot strokes them. We compared the difference between the younger (their data from the previous study) and the older participants in their responses when the two agents (a robot and a human) stroked them. Subjectively, data from both younger and older participants showed that 8.5 cm/s stroking was more positive and arousing than 2.6 cm/s stroking for both human and robot agents. Physiologically, data from both younger and older participants showed that 8.5 cm/s stroking induced weaker corrugator EMG activity and stronger SCR activity than the 2.6 cm/s stroking for both agents. These results demonstrate that the overall patterns of the older groups responses were similar to those of the younger group, and suggest that robot-delivered stroke touch can elicit pleasant emotional responses in older adults.

“…The number of universities increases yearly, but this condition is not balanced with the amount of staff needed. [4] found that a green campus can be achieved starting from toplevel strategy design, such as processing departments at universities to relevant national ministers, as well as some long-term support to achieve the green campus.…”

Global warming is caused by several factors, one of them being the uncontrolled construction sector that impacts the environment. The concept of green construction and green building is a solution to reduce global warming within the scope of civil engineering buildings. This study determined the criteria and predicate of the results of implementing green buildings according to the Greenship certification by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) in Binus Syahdan Jakarta. The research method used green building analysis based on the existing greenship building version 1.1. The result is the silver predicate, with the lowest value being Material Resource and Cycle (MRC) and the highest being Energy Efficiency Conservation (EEC). After improvisation, a maximum point was obtained (95) with a platinum predicate. Based on the analysis of the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) calculation for the next 15-20 years, the BINUS Syahdan campus building can save costs of Rp. 7,515,719,282.

“…3,4 Improvements in nebulizer designs and reduction of the inner capillary size has led to the development of micro-ow nebulizers. [5][6][7] These systems have made it common practice to introduce liquid samples at rates on the order of tens of microliters per min, which allows for the analysis of small volume samples. Nebulization at low ow rates is also necessary for the coupling of ICP-MS to separation methods such as capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to match the liquid ow rates and preserve the resolution of the separation approaches.…”
