Drying and sortation are the most important steps to improve green coffee beans and cup quality. However, farmers very often neglect these steps. Therefore, a simple technique and soft approach are required to encourage farmers to implement drying and sortation technology. The study aim is to assess suitable drying and sortation technology to improve green coffee beans and cup quality to local culture in Jayawijaya Regency, Papua. The study was conducted using 2 factors; a. Combination of drying floor using a tarp and without sortation (DFWTS), b. Combination of drying tables and with sortation (DTWS). Drying tables were designed as two separate parts. The first part was the permanent tables, and the second part was removable boxes in dimension 80 x 80 cm located on top of the permanent tables. Descriptive analysis was conducted based on SNI 01-2907-2008 by the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute. The results show DTWS produce green coffee beans in compliance with SNI 01-2907-2008 at 4a grade, compared to DFWTS is rejected. Green coffee beans quality is likely to affect cup quality. DTWS obtain cup quality score 83.0 compare to DFWTS is 81.25. In conclusion, DTWS improve green coffee beans and cup quality.

This paper presents a simple technique for improving the quality of the halftoning-based block truncation coding (H-BTC) decoded image. The H-BTC is an image compression technique inspired from typical block truncation coding (BTC). The H-BTC yields a better decoded image compared to that of the classical BTC scheme under human visual observation. However, the impulsive noise commonly appears on the H-BTC decoded image. It induces an unpleasant feeling while one observes this decoded image. Thus, the proposed method presented in this paper aims to suppress the occurring impulsive noise by exploiting a deep learning approach. This process can be regarded as an ill-posed inverse imaging problem, in which the solution candidates of a given problem can be extremely huge and undetermined. The proposed method utilizes the convolutional neural networks (CNN) and residual learning frameworks to solve the aforementioned problem. These frameworks effectively reduce the impulsive noise occurrence, and at the same time, it improves the quality of H-BTC decoded images. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of subjective and objective measurements.

This case describes the treatment of severe involuntary movements in a 10-year-old boy suffering from cerebral palsy. Needling GB34 and ST36 bilaterally for 25 minutes resulted in immediate temporary cessation of involuntary extension contractions of the erector spinae muscles for the duration of the treatment, resulting in increased functionality in the patient. This response occurred regularly on repeated treatment, but was not maintained between treatments. Involuntary movements are a major disabling feature of cerebral palsy, which impair quality of life and often prove difficult to treat successfully. This case is reported with the hope that this simple technique may provide relief for other patients suffering similar symptoms.

Autotransplantation with or without endodontic therapy is regarded as an alternative treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth. A primary responsibility of a maxillofacial surgeon is to reverse any malpractice to promote successful outcomes and improve the patient’s quality of life. This paper presents a malpractice case of incorrect extraction of the lower second molar instead of the impacted third molar. A simple technique of transplanting the impacted third molar to the site of the extracted second molar is introduced by a maxillofacial specialist in Ghana. By making an intentional root socket and fixation without using additional appliances, a novel second molar was achieved with complete recovery. This patient was followed after transplant for a four-year period with the best satisfaction.Funding: A grant of the Korean Health Technology R&D Project, Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea.
