Additive Manufacturing (AM) encompasses various techniques creating intricate components from digital models. The aim of incorporating 3D printing (3DP) in the healthcare sector is to transform patient care by providing personalized solutions, improving medical procedures, fostering research and development, and ultimately optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery. This review delves into the historical beginnings of AM's 9 integration into medical contexts exploring various categories of AM methodologies and their roles within the medical sector.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on creating hydroxyapatite (HAp) and strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrHAp) from sand lobster shells using a hydrothermal method, which were then incorporated into PVA nanofiber scaffolds via electrospinning with varying concentrations of SrHAp.
  • - Results indicated that including HAp and SrHAp modified the scaffolds' physical and mechanical properties, with higher SrHAp levels causing poor performance due to agglomeration, but the best antibacterial activity was observed in the PVA/SrHAp15 sample.
  • - The PVA/SrHAp10 scaffold demonstrated promising biocompatibility, allowing osteoblast cell growth and adhesion, making

Water saving in rice cultivation has assumed paramount importance, especially in the context of climate change. The introduction of sheet-pipe technology in Indonesia heralded as an innovative subsurface irrigation and drainage system, is poised to revolutionize how to manage this vital resource. Our study was designed with two primary objectives: first, to investigate how rice plants respond when water levels are deliberately reduced using the sheet-pipe technology; and second, to comprehensively analyze water productivity and water use efficiency in comparison to conventional flooded rice cultivation systems.

Physical properties of peat are widely applied to detect the quality of peatland ecosystem. A comprehensive dataset on the peat properties is the foundation for the development tool and model of peat ecosystem, especially in region with frequent wildfire. Here we established a tabular dataset for physical properties of lowland tropical peatland in Indonesia.
