Implementation of Arduino-Based Body Temperature and Olfactory Detector Automatic Door

The serious problem faced by the world now is the pandemic caused by Covid-19. Currently, body temperature and olfactory screening are still important, especially for safety in closed rooms. This study aims to design and build a simple prototype of an automatic door integrated with contactless temperature and olfactory detection devices. This device consists of an MLX 90614 sensor as a temperature detector, an IR FC-51 sensor as a fragrance object detector, an Arduino UNO as a processor, and an LED display that displays instructions and screening results. The door automatically opens if the temperature and smell are normal and vice versa. The implementation results of this prototype provide the best detection distance of up to 2.5 centimeters with 5% error. While the FC-51 sensor is able to detect up to a distance of 5 centimeters. The performance of the MLX 90614 sensor in detecting temperatures is not significantly different from the detection results of the GXGOI thermogun, which is only around 0.17 degrees Celsius. In general, the entire device part works as expected with 100% accuracy. This simple prototype is expected to inspire screening techniques to prevent the spread of Covid19 in closed rooms. © 2022 IEEE.

Infaq during movement lockdown: the perspective from social responsibility theory

Purpose Within a few days, the National Disaster Management Agency's COVID-19 Fund (NADMA) has collected RM 5.5 m in donations from individuals and companies. These data shows that voluminous Malaysians are willing to help although they are in a difficult situation. Grounded in the Social Responsibility theory, this paper aims to examine the factors that motivate infaq (donation) behaviour in Malaysia during Movement Control Order (MCO). Design/methodology/approach The quantitative questionnaire survey method was used to obtain the data. This research's unit analysis was of individuals who had done any help during COVID-19 MCO in Malaysia. The respondents were from all states in Malaysia, 20 years old and above and constituted of all races. Findings Although the religiosity factor did not play a significant role as a moderator, the results of the study found that all factors from the social responsibility theory had a significant positive relationship to Infaq behaviour during an emergency. Practical implications Identifying the vital driving factors that determine the infaq offer makes it possible for fundraisers to entirely focus on developing better approaches that can increase the role that these driving factors can play and possibly improve the impact on those previously unaffected factors. Originality/value From the authors' knowledge, the research paper on helping effort during an emergency is minimal, let alone the research on infaq behaviour. This paper's originality lies in the relationship between infaq behaviour, emergency and social responsibility theory which has never been explored before by other researchers.
