Enhancing Ergonomics in University Environments: Identifying, Addressing, and Mitigating Hazards for Optimal Health and Productivity
This paper contains ergonomic hazards and risks affecting both university staff and students by conducting a comprehensive case study within a university premise. The study employs a systematic approach, direct observations, and assessments of workspace design, furniture, and equipment usage. The focus is understanding posture-related discomfort and musculoskeletal issues in the university environment. The findings …
An overview of raw materials to produce eco-friendly and biodegradable polyurethanes
This review highlights a critical concern in the manufacturing of polyurethane, which traditionally relies on substantial quantities of petroleum-derived materials. With the increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and the need for materials that minimize harm to the environment, researchers have been exploring bio-based raw materials as alternatives for synthesizing polyurethane. The focus on bio-based raw …

Occurrence and partial characterization of serine protease inhibitors in the bark extract of some medicinal plants in Sri Lanka
Protease inhibitors play a vital role concerning proteases. Serine proteases are responsible for a variety of physiological processes and pathological conditions. Therefore, recently interest in protease inhibitors has increased, especially from natural sources such as plants. This study aimed at the identification of a potential candidate plant, the development of an assay procedure to detect …
Development of Indian-Almond and Jackfruit Flour-Based Biscuit and Analysis of Proximate, Sensory, and Shelf-Life
Indian almond (Terminalia catappa) and jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) are widely grown fruits in Sri Lanka, yet the market lacks value-added products incorporating these. This research aims to address this gap by developing biscuit formulations using Indian almond and jackfruit flour. Six biscuit samples were prepared using varying ratios of Indian almond flour, jackfruit flour, and …
Optimization of Sample Preparation Techniques for the Quantifications of Metal Ions by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Sample preparation is a crucial analytical tool that significantly contributes to the accuracy of analytical methods such as flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS), electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Therefore, analytical chemists focus on developing sample preparation methods to enhance the sensitivity of these technique measurements. To achieve this, …
