This study presents the development and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based real-time water quality monitoring system tailored for water treatment plants (WTPs). The system integrates advanced sensor technologies to continuously monitor key water quality parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS), and temperature. Data collected by these sensors is transmitted through a robust communication network to a centralized monitoring platform that utilizes cloud-based storage and analytics.

The aim of this scoping review was to examine the breadth and depth of how educational escape rooms are being used in health professions education, what educational goals are being achieved, and how these objectives are being assessed. Following PRISMA guidelines, a search of six databases using the key terms "escape room" and "health professional" was conducted.

The oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the PA/PE and PE films decreased after heat treatment, while no change was observed for PE/EVOH films. Food contact did not impact the OTR of PA/PE and PE/EVOH films, while the OTR of PE films decreased.
