Proper functioning of the hand is centered on the use of the thumb, which is the only opposable finger among the five. Assessment of the thenar muscles that is essential for thumb movement is important in not only medical field as to look for any pathology, but also crucial in the engineering field. Assessment of these muscles can be applied to dev

Human hand functions range from precise-minute handling to heavy and robust movements. Developing an artificial thumb which can mimic the actions of a real thumb precisely is a major achievement. Despite many efforts dedicated to this area of research, control of artificial thumb movements in resemblance to our natural movement, still poses as a ch

Introduction: Overweight adolescents have been reported to struggle in losing weight. However, their intention to engage in weight loss practice remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative study was to understand the factors that lead to the intention of weight loss practice among overweight adolescents using the Theory of Planned Behav

Introduction: Lung cancer has been reported as one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Current cancer treatments like chemotherapy do not result in a complete cure and are known to cause side effects in the patients. Therefore, alternative treatment strategies are being explored, one of which is to investigate the potential of the local h

Introduction: Infected non-union of proximal humerus after fixation is devastating consequence and remains challenging. Methods: The staged oncologic approach consists of wide resection and reconstruction ensures remissions of the infection. Results: We report a case of two-stage oncologic approach in a patient with infected non-union proximal hume

Heritage study is a sign of not only the potentials of creating symbols in a city, but also is a testament to the potentialities of adaptive reuse of valuable old structures. The Great Masjid of Hohot, also known as the Qingchen Dasi, symbolises not only the capacities of the heritage structures to be adapted but also symbolises significances of Mu

Subak is a local organization that formalizes the Balinese traditional ecological knowledge and wisdom in managing and distributing water for agricultural purposes. This organization combines cosmology, spirituality, science, ecology, and engineering dimensions of knowledge. As the current development of Bali Island as one of the international tour

The modern era epitomizes a period of profound transformation across diverse spheres including science, technology, politics, and warfare, characterized by discovery, innovation, and globalization. European powers and their colonies spearheaded a comprehensive colonization endeavor encompassing politics, economics, and culture, shaping what we reco

Free Space Optical FSO is a promising optical technology that has a great chance of complementing the traditional wireless communication. It offers unlicensed, higher speed, broader, unlimited bandwidth and excellent security. However, the quality of FSO links is greatly affected by weather conditions and link distance. In the tropical regions, the

An essential component of the Internet Protocol Suite is Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In this article, the effectiveness of three distinct TCP congestion control algorithms, namely Reno, NewReno, and Cubic, in the context of wired lines has been examined. In a series of simulations, we changed the congestion control technique while maintain
