Maternal and infant health is a global healthcare problem affecting developing and developed countries alike. Pregnancy complications increase the risk of maternal and infant death, and are associated with adverse outcomes such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and preterm birth. Women going through high-risk pregnancies may require complex care involving lifestyle modifications, pharmacological and technical support and even hospitalization. Recent advances in wearable sensor technologies offer new opportunities to accurately monitor the high risk pregnancy cases as the demand for wearable and remote patient monitoring systems is increasing worldwide. In this paper, extensive literature review was carried out related to the monitoring of high risk pregnancy and use of wearable sensors related to childbirth. This enables authors to close the information gap regarding feasibility of using wearable sensors for monitoring mother and child health to ensure a safe delivery. Further based on the information collected and collated a theoretical framework is proposed for the use of wearable sensors in remote monitoring of high risk pregnancy. Thus the integrated system enables healthcare worker to do continuous monitoring of vital parameters of pregnant women through wearable sensors. This will improve timely communication between relevant stakeholders and help in reducing maternal mortality occurring due to lack of timely help.

This study was intended to determine whether organic fertilizers affect the presence of soil microorganisms after coal mining. The study location was the ex-coal mining area of PT Graha Benua Etam, in Saliki Village, Samarinda, East Kalimantan. This study used 4 kinds of organic fertilizer on the soil planted with Jabon seedlings, namely market waste vegetable fertilizer (WV), chicken manure (CM), cow dung (CD) and goat manure (GM). The results of this study indicated that before fertilizing 2 fungal genera were found in soil samples, namely Aspergillus and Trichoderma. At 3 months after fertilizing the soil with WV, 3 fungal genera were found, namely Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Trichoderma. At 3 months after fertilizing the soil with CM, CD, and GM found 3 genera of fungi the same with WV. At 6 months after fertilizing the soil with WV 3 genera of fungi were found that were same with 3 months, plus two other genera, namely Mucor and Rhizopus. At 6 months after fertilizing the soil with CM, CD, and GM the same 3 fungal genera as WV were found. Before fertilizing there was found 3 families of bacteria, namely Azotobacteraceae, Bacillaceae, and Microccaceae. At 3 and 6 months after fertilizing the soil with the four organic fertilizers, the same 3 families as before fertilizing were found. Nematodes were not found in soil samples before fertilizing, but 3 months after fertilizing with the four organic fertilizers there was found 3 genera, namely Dorylaimus, Rhabditis and Rotylenchullus. At 6 months after fertilizing, 5 genera of nematodes were found in the soil fertilized with WV and CM, namely Aphelenchus, Dorylaimus, Rhabditis, Rotylenchullus, and Hoplolaimus. In the soil fertilized with CD, only 3 genera of nematodes were found, namely Dorylaimus, Rhabditis, and Rotylenchullus. In the soil fertilized with GM, 4 genera of nematodes were found, namely Dorylaimus, Rhabditis, Rotylenchullus, and Hoplolaimus.

Passive cooling techniques and their application have become more dependable and are frequently used in regions with hot climate conditions. The foremost techniques adopted are building orientation which helps with spatial organisation of the building based on function, external environment and weather factors and the other is the use of shading devices integrated through design to the building or its immediate environment. The building under study holds a set of lecture rooms, offices and a commercial space is located in a tropical savannah climate region. This papers evaluates the effects of the passive cooling techniques adopted in the building on indoor thermal quality as perceived by the students and other users of the building, considering the high temperature in the region. The research identified how the orientation of the building reduced the surface of the building heated as a result of solar radiation and also how the longer sides of the building have windows facing the direction of the prevailing winds capturing the breeze for cross ventilation which in turn reduces the indoor temperature. Shading devices and trees are used to cover the longer sides of the building to deflect direct solar radiation hence reducing the glare and reflections that may disrupt activities in the lecture rooms. Questionnaires that were distributed and a physical survey of the building site are the main source for the research findings. It is imperative for more research work to be done in areas like this to reduce the energy use in buildings located in hot regions used for cooling. This would also encourage the reduction of green house gases coming from mechanized cooling devices which cost significantly high to run in these regions.

A common problem in dense settlements is the problems related to the environment both physically and non-physically. An environment with a high population is not in accordance with the amount of sufficient land for the construction of adequate houses. As a result of limited land that causes a minimum area of houses that can be built by the community in the neighborhood. In addition, this very small house is occupied by 5-9 people, which depends on the social conditions of the residents. The prototype design of houses is very easy to make for the purpose of using space that meets the standard zoning space by using a system suitable for the design of buildings with a 'split level' system. The types of houses in this study are type 18, type 21 and type 27 which discuss broad land not in area buildings. 'Split level' house design in buildings built on construction techniques to create space by changing altitude from one another. Very simple house buildings using a split level consisting of 3 floors with reinforced concrete structures using concrete construction rules for buildings (SNI 03-2847-2013) and planning procedures for earthquake repairs for structures of buildings and non-buildings (03-1726-2012).
