Abstract

The art of touch therapy has been around for centuries and has evolved into various models and styles throughout the years. In addition to reducing muscle pain, relieving stress, and providing relaxation, this therapy has worked and has been useful for many people. Methods such as touch or pressure stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which plays a role in a person's emotional well-being. Knowing its effects, the interaction between therapeutic devices used on the body needs to be studied further. The contact area provided by the deep touch pressure (DTP) tool will also play an important role in the therapeutic outcome. In addition, levels of comfort in pressure treatment should also be explored further to ensure compliance. This paper describes in extensive the potential of DTP in providing a comfort effect from a contact mechanics perspective. Interactions of various DTP types and pressure distribution on body area have been further investigated to minimize the contact mechanics research gap in DTP and provide the bridge between sensory therapy and the mechanical engineering domain.

Abstract

Individu dengan kondisi kesehatan tertentu, seperti gangguan integrasi sensorik/sensory integration disorder (SID) dan spektrum gangguan autisme/autism spectrum disorder (ASD) sering mengalami pengalaman yang menantang seperti kewalahan terhadap situasi baru, jika dipicu dapat berubah menjadi hiperarousal dan kecemasan. Deep pressure telah digunakan sebagai metode terapeutik untuk mengurangi masalah tersebut. Studi ini mencari potensi keuntungan dari terapi deep pressure dengan tujuan menerapkan pendekatan baru untuk menilai efek menenangkan dari terapi rompi deep pressure yang dapat diinflasi menggunakan EEG untuk mengukur aktivitas otak. Studi awal ini melibatkan 5 anak laki-laki dari sekolah dasar. Rompi yang dapat mengembung (inflatable) dan rompi yang diberi beban digunakan untuk mendapatkan efek menenangkan, dan elektroensefalogram (EEG) digunakan untuk mengukur aktivitas otak yang diperoleh dalam tiga fase yang berbeda: 1 menit sebelum (pret-est), 3 menit selama (on-test), dan 1 menit setelah eksperimen (post-test) pada 5 subjek. Sinyal EEG direkam menggunakan Muse Headband dan dianalisis menggunakan EEGLAB. Tiga gelombang otak seperti theta, alpha, dan beta relative band energies dipertimbangkan. Nilai-nilai ini sangat penting dalam menentukan apakah ada penurunan yang signifikan dalam tingkat stres atau kecemasan untuk setiap perlakuan dibandingkan dengan yang lain. Hasil statistik mengilustrasikan, posttest dari sub-gelombang energi relatif alpha meningkat sementara sub-gelombang energi beta dan theta relatif menurun dibandingkan dengan pretest. Studi ini menunjukkan peningkatan efek menenangkan di antara siswa. Secara keseluruhan, temuan kami menunjukkan potensi rompi yang dapat diinflasi dan rompi berat bervibrasi sebagai alat berharga untuk terapi deep pressure.

Abstract

Electric road sweepers often face damage to wire broom components due to manual operation errors, particularly when navigating obstacles like speed bumps. To mitigate this, an automatic arm lifting system using proximity sensors was developed to enhance efficiency and extend broom lifespan. This study focused on designing the wiring, determining optimal sensor detection distances, and assessing sensor angle inclinations for an electric road sweeper prototype. Functional testing determined that Sensor A should be placed 60 cm from the wire broom with a tilt angle of 42.2Ëš, a distance of 2936 mm to the ground, and 2800 mm to the object for lifting commands. For Sensor B, the lowering command requires a tilt angle of 49.4Ëš, a distance of 20 cm from the wire broom, 2692 mm to the ground, and 2200 mm to the object. These settings ensure the system effectively lifts the sweeper arm over obstacles, enhancing both efficiency and durability. The findings demonstrate the potential for advanced sensor technology to improve urban cleaning equipment and support sustainable city maintenance practices.

Abstract

Geothermal energy offers significant potential as an environmentally friendly renewable resource; however, large-scale deployment remains constrained by high drilling and infrastructure costs. Repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells as geothermal heat exchanger systems has emerged as a promising alternative, yet research on the application of nanofluids in such systems remains limited and fragmented. This review employs a narrative synthesis approach to analyze more than 80 peer-reviewed studies related to wellbore geothermal heat exchangers, working fluids, and nanofluid thermal enhancement mechanisms. The review identifies a clear knowledge gap regarding the integration of nanofluids into geothermal heat extraction processes in deep coaxial and U-tube systems, particularly with respect to long-term stability, pressure drop, and techno-economic feasibility. Findings indicate that nanofluids, especially metal-oxide and hybrid formulations, can substantially enhance thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance, with TiO₂- and CuO-based nanofluids showing the most promising results. However, challenges remain in optimizing concentration, ensuring stability, and mitigating increased pumping power. Overall, this review provides a consolidated understanding of existing research and highlights key directions for future development to improve heat extraction efficiency in geothermal systems utilizing abandoned wells.
