“…3. It consists of the power supply section using a 12V/500mA transformer to supply a 9V DC source through a bridge rectifier (KBL408) and LM7812 voltage regulator (Ewetumo et al, 2019). The main components of the circuit are the microcontroller ATmega 328p and IC 4047 with the Arduino Uno board and the display screen.…”

Good quality restful sleep is indispensable to mental and physical health. However, pressure due to busy life style, work and sometimes physiological factors have placed constraints on adequate and healthy sleep pattern leading to several sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. Sleep disorder affects the quality of life of such patients as it grossly reduces efficiency at work and leads to poor mental and physical health. Available drugs to treat this disorder are addictive with strong adverse effects, while existing devices to provide intervention are very expensive. Hence, the development of an affordable, portable electronic sleep inducer with display unit is presented. It uses geomagnetic property of the earth coupled with electromagnetic wave induction to stimulate sleep. The signal frequency was generated by IC4047 coupled with Arduino Uno and ATmega 328p for device control. The output of this electronic sleep inducer is found to satisfactorily produce 5.89 Hz and 3.58 Hz for theta and delta waves respectively, needed to induce sleep. It consumes less power and it is rechargeable. Keywords— Sleep; Sleep disorder; Insomnia; Geomagnetic wave;

Introduction Mechanical testing plays an important role in evaluating fundamental properties of engineering materials as well as in developing new materials and in controlling the quality of materials for use in design and construction Hashemi (2006). It has been established that any given material has a number of interesting and useful mechanical properties, and that these properties are often interrelated, it follows that we need to be able to measure all of them. It would be nice if one type of test could measure all of them but, unfortunately, no one test can do this. The tensile test, however, which can be used to measure a number of the most commonly used mechanical properties, is a very good place to start Meir (2004) and Huang (2009). Compression testing is a method for assessing the ability of a material to withstand compressive loads. This test is commonly used as a simple measure of workability of material in service. Materials behave differently in compression than they do in tension so it may be important to perform mechanical tests which simulate the condition the material will experience in actual use (Hassan and Bukar, 2009). Because of difficulties in obtaining accurate information from a compression test on ductile material, very little compression testing is done on metal (Bukar 1992). Difficulty arises from two causes, namely compression instability and frictional restraint. The compression test finds greatest use in testing brittle materials such as mortar, concrete brick and ceramic products, whose tensile strengths are low compared with their compressive strengths and which are principally employed to resist compressive forces (Stainslaw et.al., 2012 and Shi and Larkins, 1997). Testing machines are used to develop better information on known materials or to develop new materials and maintain the quality of the materials. There are two classes of testing machines, electromechanical and hydraulic. A hydraulic testing machine uses either a single-or dual acting piston to move the crosshead up or down. In general, the electromechanical machine is capable of a wide range of test speeds and long crosshead displacements, whereas the hydraulic machine is a cost-effective solution for generating high forces and are manually operated. Materials education is a key foundation for engineering. But in this work as electromechanical stress-strain machine was developed using an Arduino microcontroller-based system with logging system.

Health services through the chronic disease management program or Prolanis is a process to determine the health condition of patients with chronic diseases regularly, glucose being one of the parameters of the examination. Glucose levels are influenced by several factors, which are age and body mass index. This study aims to determine the relationship between blood glucose levels with body mass index and age in prolanis patients at Baturraden II Health Center. This type of research is a quantitative study with a cross sectional design using a total sampling technique and the GOD-PAP (Glucose Oxidase Para Amino Peroxidase) examination method on prolanis patients at Baturraden II Health Center. The research was carried out in April 2022 and obtained the results of the examination of blood glucose levels with an average of 133.30 mg/dl, the relationship between age and body mass index respectively to blood glucose levels was p value = 0.701 and p value = 0.211. So it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between blood glucose levels with body mass index and age in prolanis patients at Baturraden II Health Center.
