Turtles are sea-dwelling reptiles. Turtles can cross the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and Southeast Asia on long migrations. The combination of natural factors and human activities that directly or indirectly put the population of turtles in danger puts them in a difficult situation. These creatures are sensitive to light, noise, cleanliness of the environment, and crowds, which frequently disturb turtles that are laying eggs. The decline in turtle populations as a result of human activities—threats from nature in the form of climate change, disease, or the threat of predatory animals—is caused by damage to coastal habitats, deaths as a result of interactions with fishing activities, inadequate management of conservation techniques, and uncontrolled hunting of turtles and their...

"For a communications engineer, nature is full of examples of communication systems. Many of these systems use molecules for signaling, control, and regulation. Molecular communication is a new field that applies communication engineering tools to molecular signaling. Potential applications in medicine include treating neurological disorders, preventing cancerous tumors' growth, and reducing the impact of other diseases arising from ineffective or inadvertent signaling. Other opportunities include advances in environmental monitoring and the design of lab-on-a-chip systems. I will introduce molecular communication and present examples of biophysical problems seen through the lens of communication," said Dr. Adam Noel of the University of Warwick at the 9th International Conference on...

Applying the ecoprint technique to fabrics can produce a pattern of distinctive shapes and colors according to the natural materials used. We can create patterns and textures very similar to the original with the proper methods. The colors that emerge from this coloring process are usually natural and soft. In the long term, the ecoprint technique is claimed to be more environmentally friendly when compared to conventional coloring techniques. This point is what prompted Rohmah Hasanatun Robbani, a student of fashion education at the Faculty of Engineering, UNY, to hold a training on making stylish print ecoprint scarves in Wijirejo village, Bantul Regency.

"I hope this training can increase the interest and talent of the villagers in utilizing the natural materials that are... Read More ...
