These strategies should focus on controlling pest populations using naturally occurring substances, such as plant and animal extracts, microorganisms, parasitic nematodes and insects, and specific minerals. The overuse and misuse of chemical pesticides have resulted in pest resistance, the destruction of beneficial organisms, and increased residual problems, posing significant threats to both the environment and human health. This has led the scientific community to explore the potential of biopesticides. Currently, viruses, fungi, parasitic nematodes, and certain strains of Bacillus thuringiensis are available for commercial use. Utilizing biopesticides as biocontrol agents presents a promising alternative, particularly if challenges related to phytopathogens and environmental issues caused by synthetic pesticides can be effectively managed. This review highlights current practices and advancements in the use of biopesticides on both regional and global levels.

Non-contact thermometers provide a safe way to measure temperature without direct contact, reducing the risk of spreading disease. However, measurement accuracy and consistency require proper calibration tools. This study developed a prototype of a non-contact thermometer calibrator using the Mamdani fuzzy logic control system. This tool is designed to improve the efficiency and flexibility of the calibration process compared to conventional methods that heat water. Mamdani fuzzy logic control is applied to the Positive Temperature Coefficient component to regulate temperature through fuzzification, rule base, and defuzzification stages. The results showed that the calibrator tool with the Mamdani fuzzy logic control system can calibrate a clinical non-contact thermometer with an accuracy of ±0.5°C over a temperature range of 35°C, 39°C, and 42°C. This system proved effective in controlling temperature during the calibration process, achieving the research objective of applying the Mamdani fuzzy logic method in a temperature control system to obtain a stable temperature.

The results show that there is a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental regulation, industrial SO 2 and industrial soot. Population size, secondary industry structure and energy consumption have significant promoting effects on the discharge of the three industrial pollutants. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is beneficial to reduce industrial SO 2 and industrial soot discharge, but has no significant effect on industrial wastewater emission reduction. Technological innovation has a significant effect on the emission reduction of three industrial pollutants. Education level can significantly reduce the emission of SO 2 and industrial waste water, but it has no significant effect on the emission of industrial soot. Based on the research results, the government and enterprises should formulate reasonable environmental regulation intensity to promote the development of green and innovative technologies, increase investment in energy conservation and emission reduction technologies, and attract high-quality FDI, so as to reduce the emission of industrial pollutants.
