Welcome from the ICESA Conference Chairs
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are honored and delighted to welcome you to the 2019
International Conference on Engineering, Science and Applications (ICESA), held at Osaka
International House Foundation, Osaka, Japan on August 28-30, 2019, which is jointly together with
the International Conference on Education and Learning (ICEL), International Conference on
Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management (HTSM), International Conference on Health, Nutrition,
and Exercise Science (HNES), and International Conference on Industry, Business and Social Sciences
(IBSS). Together these conferences form the 2019 Global Academic-Industrial Cooperation Society
(GAICS) Joint Conference in Osaka, Japan.
These five conferences operate separately but are managed and organized under the Global
Academic-Industrial Cooperation Society (GAICS). The 2019 GAICS Joint Conference in Osaka,
Japan is a prestigious gathering of researchers held to share and strengthen interdisciplinary research
around the world. This event is a great opportunity for all attendees to share new findings and research
results, as well as seek collaborative opportunities across disciplines.
We know that the success of the conference depends ultimately on the many people who have
participated and have worked with us in planning and organizing both the technical program and
supporting social arrangements. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to express our
heartfelt thanks to all committee members, reviewers, session chairs, presenters, and organization staff.
In addition, a special thanks would like to be given to Dr. Yuko Yato and Dr. Yukako Wada for helping
host the conference and to Dr. Kassem A. Saleh and Dr. Masafumi Terada for their keynote speech.
If Kyoto was the city of the courtly nobility and Tokyo was the city of the samurai, then Osaka was
the city of the merchant class. Osakans take pride in shedding the conservatism found elsewhere in
Japan, and this spirited city – Japan's third-largest – is a place where people are a bit brasher and
interactions are peppered with playful jabs. Greater Osaka has an extensive network of railway lines,
comparable to that of Greater Tokyo. Major stations within the city include Umeda, Namba,
Shinsaibashi, Tennōji, Kyōbashi, and Yodoyabashi.
Finally, we hope this conference will be a great success and will be fruitful to all participants in
both academic and social aspects. We also hope that you will enjoy your stay in Osaka.

TOPIC: Risk Management for Successful Projects and Operations - Why and How?
Abstract
Risks are facts of our lives whether personally or at work. Risks can be positive (opportunities) or
negative (threats). They should be managed and treated properly, continuously and systematically
otherwise undesirable situations and outcomes, and missed opportunities may result leading to
business failures, loss of competitiveness and disasters. The proper use of risk management skills is
one of the major requirements for planning and executing successful projects and operations in
enterprises. In this talk, you will be exposed to the systematic processes that need to be performed to
manage risks and deal with them should they become a reality. In particular, we will talk about the
various risk response strategies used to treat positive and negative risks.

reviewed manuscripts in scientific journals and has presented
over 60 abstracts at international, national and regional
scientific meetings.
TOPIC: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Sport Injury Prevention and Management
Abstract
Participation in sports and physical activities has an important role in a healthy lifestyle. However, it
is associated with an inherent risk of musculoskeletal injury. Musculoskeletal injuries represent the
second greatest cause of disability worldwide. With increasing government and society emphasis on
sport and physical activity, the number of musculoskeletal injuries will remain constant or increase as
more individuals participate in physical activities. It is critical to establish a more cost-effective and
efficient method for preventing and managing musculoskeletal injury. Successful sports health care is
interdisciplinary in nature. An interdisciplinary approach plays an integral role in reducing risk of
sustaining of musculoskeletal injuries during sports and physical activities. The interdisciplinary
approach provides the current best evidence regarding the use of translating the novel biomechanics
techniques into clinical practice. Therefore, collaborations within the broader fields of sports medicine
can improve clinical outcomes for patients with a musculoskeletal injury. This talk will feature an
interdisciplinary team that has shown a unique set of skills that enable us to tackle the cutting-edge
approaches of preventing and managing sport injury. At the conclusion of the program, participants
will be able to explain the benefits of a collaborative approach to sport injury prevention and
management.

Guidelines for Presenting Authors and Session Chairs
Presentations are brief discussions of a focused topic delivered to a group of listeners in order to
impart knowledge or to stimulate discussion. Begin your presentation by telling your audience what
your topic is and what you will be covering. A notebook is equipped with an LCD projector for every
session room. Each speaker must bring his/her own USB memory stick for transferring the file(s) to
the notebook setup at each session. No overhead projectors will be provided. Please arrive at your
session early so that you have time to test the connection to the projector and know the session chair
and colleagues going to present at this session. Visual aids (such as maps, photos, film clips, graphs,
diagrams, and charts) can enrich and enhance the effectiveness of a presentation.
During the presentation, the Session Chair’s role is to coordinate the smooth running of the
session. Please begin and end the session on time. The order of presentations are printed in the session
program. If a speaker cancels or does not show up, the original time schedule should be adhered to
rather sliding every talk forward. As a session chair, please check the session program before you start
chairing the session. In case that one of your session’s speakers cancels at the very last minute, you
might have available a short talk of your own to help maintain the continuity of the session. Each
session normally contains 80 minutes, with the time per presentation determined by the number of
papers in the session. Equal time should be given to each paper. A well-prepared Session Chair can
help ensure that the speakers give high quality, trouble-free talks and that the audience appreciates the
entire session.
Finally, thank you for your participation and contribution to the conference.

River Flow Analysis and Implications in Water Resource Management
and Policy Design

Abstract
Several decisions related to public policies in sustainable development depend on engineering analysis
and the fluid mechanics of surface and ground water. Engineering analysis methodologies have a
notable impact on predictions of quantities of water and the timing of its availability, and therefore on
public policy decisions. We direct our attention to seasonal watercourses which are refuges to
ecosystems typically meandering and traversing inhabited rural areas. A mathematical model is
presented for fluid flow parameters proposing a modification to classical open channel methods. The
necessity of this modification is due to frequent river bents extending into weedy catchment basins.
We termed it “hybrid method” because it combines formulation with simplified field measurement to
adjust flow parameters. It is shown that the hybrid method provides improved results that are closer to
real life fluid flow behavior. Simplified cross-sectional shapes can be used for human-made canals but
natural watercourse sections are a complex function of location along the river, and vary in time due
to erosion and sediment transport. The relationship between the present results and policy decisions is
illustrated with a linear regression using data collected from seasonal watercourses in the East
Mediterranean. A dependent variable was formulated in a previous research stage to represent end-
user willingness to engage in sustainable development projects related to local surface water resources.
Four independent variables were defined as the extent to which engineering outcomes serve as a basis
for public policy decision; local surface water could meet household demand; local surface water could
meet irrigation and agricultural demand; and water resource project management entrusted to local
governing bodies. Results showed a statistically significant correlation with the four variables, while
it is positive for the first and third, and negative for the second and fourth. This relationship justifies
future research to extend into a cross-sectional analysis of seasonal watercourses to better harness
surface water resources in rural areas.

Challenges in Marine Environmental Management – A Call for
Scientific Innovation in Fighting Plastic Pollution

Abstract
Marine plastic pollution is increasingly causing concerns related to ecosystems and human health. We
address plastic pollution in the East Mediterranean, discuss the lack of public policies, and provide
recommendations to be implemented hand-in-hand with the private sector. Empirical data collected on
the East Mediterranean shore is used to explore the extent of damage in the marine environment. It is
shown that remedial actions and preventive measures need to be managed in parallel with local
government and local communities. Secondary data show that plastic pollution is a regional problem
because it is transported by waves and currents. A linear regression model was developed to gauge
public attitudes in Lebanon, with dependent variable, Y, representing readiness of local communities
to fight plastic pollution. The independent variables were defined as (X1) the establishment of national
policies specific to plastic littering, (X2) incentives for sorting at the household level, (X3) developing
collaborative treaties at a regional level, and (X4) engineering innovation and advocacy to transition
into a plastic-free end-use. A statistically significant and positive correlation was found with the first
and fourth variables, but a negative correlation with the second. It is important to introduce innovative
products such as bio-degradable substitutes, and innovative processes such as plastic-to-fuel. Pollution
in the Mediterranean is a shared environmental cause that requires cross-border cooperation but
respondents were skeptical about prospects of regional collaboration or long term strategies. It is
recommended to sponsor engineering innovation research, and cross-border communities of experts
and policy-makers to overcome barriers to collaborative environmental preservation.

Abstract
The proper dealing with quality and risks is critical for a executing a successful information system (IS) development project or for the ongoing operation and evolution of an IS. However, both quality and risks are strongly intertwined and have to be considered in tandem. Earlier for example, the word risk did not even appear in the ISO 9001 standard on quality. Only in the recent revision of the standard, an emphasis on risk considerations was added. In a study on the assessment of project management maturity, both quality and risk management in the information systems industry had the lowest maturity scores of, 2.88 and 2.75 out of 5, respectively, among the various project management knowledge areas and among the four industries, including information systems, considered in the study. This shows clearly that there is room for improvements to be made in both the quality and risk domains of information systems project management. We can argue that having low maturity in risk management is a significant contributor to the low maturity in quality management. The improper considerations of risks would definitely affect the quality of the delivered product, in addition to affecting the other three project success criteria related to schedule, budget and scope. In this paper, we show how quality and risks in information system development and evolution are related leading us to develop a quality-based risk taxonomy and risk breakdown structure that can be used as a generic tool to identify risks while developing or managing an information system and its risks.

Abstract
Petri nets are used to model system operations and workflows. They are able to model both sequential
and concurrent behaviors of systems and their associated mathematical formulations are useful to
quantitatively analyze the model. The overall system behavior can be described and analyzed by
generating a reachability graph whose nodes are the steady states that the system goes through. The
basic Petri net model can be used and extended to model and quantitatively analyze various qualities
of a system such as time performance and risks. In this paper, we augment the Petri net-based model
with risk information associated with both places and transitions of the net. This information includes
the risk exposure representing the risk likelihood and risk impact related to the specific place or
transition. The model can then be analyzed to compute the overall system risk exposure and the
exposure at each steady state of the generated system reachability graph.

Abstract
Functional powders can have complicated structures. Important applications of functional powders
include, but not limited to, the pharmaceutical particles such as oral tablets and capsules and inhaled
aerosols through the nose into the lung. Functional powders can be manufactured using spray drying.
The powders in spray drying are formed in a heated reactor where a solution of precursors is atomized
to form droplets. The solvent in the droplet then evaporate and the solutes are left to form the product
powder. Experiments show that the particle structure is influenced by the relative ratio of droplet
evaporation rate and solute diffusion and precipitation rate. The final powder may appear as solid,
hollow spheres, or even bucking and crumpling shells. The droplet evaporation and solute precipitation
is a coupled heat and mass transfer problem. The entire drying process comprises four stages:
temperature adjustment, constant-temperature evaporation, solid crust formation, and solid shell
thickening. Each of the drying stages has been modeled, respectively. However, a comprehensive
model that can describe the whole process from the very beginning of droplet evaporation to the end
of particle formation is still developing. This paper is aimed to develop a fully comprehended model
that can include all of the four different stages using the same set of equations. The formation of solid
and hollow particles from solute precipitation of a liquid droplet was then investigated by a simulative
approach. The simulation model describes the evolution of the solute concentration, temperature
gradient, as well as size change of the droplet. The model also accounts for the vapor concentration
and temperature gradient in the ambient gas. The volume of fluid method (VOF) was adopted to
capture the liquid-gas interface. The entire drying process was analyzed using a sodium chloride
aqueous solution droplet as an example. Influence of ambient temperature on the final structure of the
precipitate particle was studied. Two distinct particle structures have been discussed. The droplet
solidifies into a solid particle when the ambient temperature is low, while a hollow sphere when the
ambient temperature is high. The mechanisms underlying these two particle structures are discussed.

Response Delay Improvement of Following Vehicle Prototype

Abstract
Following vehicles is an emerging technology that can facilitate people to walk without carrying heavy
things in their hands. In our previous work, we have developed a following vehicle prototype using
Robot Operating System, ROS, which is the most popular software framework for the development of
robots, including wheeled robots. The adoption of ROS is for the control of the movement of our
wheeled robot. In addition, the person who is being followed by our prototype has to carry a lightweight
radio transmitter which could be a smartphone or a wearable electronic device. Our prototype estimates
the distance between itself and its user based on the power present in received radio signals from the
radio transmitter. Weak signals mean the user is far away from our prototype so it should move forward.
On the contrary, strong signals cause the prototype to stop for the avoidance of collision. The
preliminary experimental results show that the prototype can correctly follow the movement of its user
in a linear direction but the response delay is obvious.
In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the delay and our software components. First, we
found that the sleeping period between consecutive operations for distance estimation is originally set
as 1000ms. This period enables the user to shut down the following functionality of the proposed
prototype. However, the long idle period leads to unnecessary response delay. Second, the sleeping
period between two consecutive ROS messages sent by our software components is also set as 1000ms.
Without the sleeping period, the underlying ROS can’t deliver any ROS messages between its
processes. Nevertheless, the sleeping period is still too long. As a consequence, both the sleeping
periods are set as 100ms in the current study and the response delay is reduced. It is worth noting that
the response delay sometimes increases a lot. We inferred that the reason may be due to multipath
fading. In the future, we are planning to apply a machine learning algorithm to achieve more accurate
distance estimations.

Abstract
This paper investigates decision-making in a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) under information
asymmetry between SC members, in which the asymmetric information is described by fuzzy sets.
The proposed analysis method is based on Zadeh’s extension principle in fuzzy theory and
optimization theory. The problem is first formulated as a fuzzy optimization model with several fuzzy
parameters. To conserve the fuzziness of the asymmetric information of the supply chain, a pair of
two-level mathematical programs is proposed to identify the lower and upper bounds of the fuzzy
performance at different possibility levels so that the complete membership function can be described.
Notably, this paper devises an analysis method to provide a likely interval of the fuzzy maximal profit
with a known possibility level rather than a singleton. Several example scenarios are solved to
demonstrate the validity of the proposed analysis method. In addition, the managerial implications and
insights are also assessed and discussed via analytical and numerical results for reference by decision-
makers.

Abstract
Photorhabdus luminescens is an entomopathogenic gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium isolated from
luminescent insects that have been infected by the insect nematode of the Heterorhabditidae. It was
was observed to kill insects by secreting high molecular weight toxin complexes. In this study, a third-
instar Plutella xylostella larva was orally administered for bioassay. In the LB medium, the cell
concentration reached the highest at 20 hours, and the cell concentration decreased as the culture time
increased, while the insecticidal activity increased. It was observed that the main insecticidal active
factor, in addition to the bacteria itself, the insecticidal active substance in the supernatant was also
confirmed to be larger than 210 kDa. After 20 hours of incubation with LB, the mortality to P.
xylostella from the fermentation broth with diluted 50 times and the supernatant with 5 times diluted
were 18.89%, and 91.11%, respectively. The 88% mortality was found in the retentates with larger
than 21KDa after UF membrane treatment. It shows that the supernatant of P. luminescens has
insecticidal activity, and the main insecticidal toxin complexes were found with a molecular weight
greater than 210kDa. Using L9(34) Taguchi orthogonal experimental design, the optimal medium for
insecticidal activity was studied factors included nitrogen source (A), carbon source (B), dissolved
oxygen (C), and cultivation time (D). After response analysis, the optimum conditions for the
insecticidal fermentation broth were A3B2C3D2, while the optimum conditions for the insecticidal
supernatant were A2B2C3D2. The mode-predicted insecticidal activity was 84% of the 50-fold diluted
fermentation broth obtained from the A3B2C3D2, and the 5-fold diluted supernatant was 109.6%. The
experimental results of insecticidal activity were improved by using A3B2C3D2, with the 100-fold
diluted fermentation broth being 92.2% and the 10-fold diluted supernatant being 97.8%.

Abstract
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is one of the major enzyme components of animal venom and is
also the first enzyme in the pro-inflammatory pathway. This enzyme is deeply associated with the
inflammatory processes of several conditions like atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory
distress symptom etc. However, the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that
are used for treatment purposes are associated with severe side effects like gastrointestinal ulceration,
cardiovascular complications, bleeding etc. As such selective inhibition of sPLA2 enzyme is an
important criterion for a potent anti-inflammatory drug, which is why, inhibition mediated by bioactive
compound(s) are becoming a lucrative field of research owing to its potential in the drug development
process. In this current study, Acanthus ilicifolius L. (roots) and Lumnitzera racemosa Willd. (leaves),
mangrove plant species were collected, based on literature survey and folkloric use of these plant
extracts (for the treatment of snake, bee and wasp bites), in order to investigate and unravel their
unexplored anti-inflammatory potential. Aqueous plant extracts were prepared and tested for bee
venom sPLA2 inhibition studies by the agarose egg yolk plate method and the leaf extracts were found
to exhibit about 80% inhibition at 1:20 (w/w) ratio of sPLA2 : Plant extract. The UHPLC MS/MS
analysis aided us in identifying and constructing a library of bioactive compounds found in these
extracts. This eventually helped us select, gallic acid [GA] (bio-mining information-based selection)
for inhibition and interaction/binding studies by optical spectrometry and molecular dynamics
simulation. GA at a concentration ratio of 1:20μM exhibited 98% inhibition of sPLA 2. UV-Vis,
fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism studies revealed about the binding and simultaneous
formation of a sPLA2-GA complex. This complex formation is responsible for the secondary and
tertiary structural alterations that ultimately leads to sPLA2 inhibition. Finally, the in silico molecular
docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies further substantiated the results obtained in our in
vitro experiments and provided evidence that GA is capable of efficiently inhibiting sPLA2 (binding
affinity of 5.29kcal/mol and formation of eight hydrogen bonds). Moreover, in the MDS system, the
complex formed showed proper convergence with less deviation from the starting structure (near to
0.35nm) throughout the 25ns simulations after GA binding. These results cumulatively proved that
sPLA2-GA complex remains stable in the dynamic system and efficiently inhibits sPLA2. Hence, GA
holds great potential to serve as a lead molecule for the development of more specific and potent
inhibitor molecules.

Abstract
The visual cryptography scheme (VCS) allows dealer shares a secret image by encrypting it as n shares
and distributes the shares to n different participants. The VCSs are proved a secure method for sharing
secret images. However, the noise-like shares cannot be identified by the participants, such that the
honest participants will suffer collusive cheating from malicious participants. In a (k,n)-VCS, when k
(malicious) participants stacked their shares and got the secret image, the k-1 participants can alter
their shares to cheat an honest participant (i.e., the k+1 participant). As k-1 fake shares and the honest
participant’s share were stacked, a fake secret image is revealed. Previous researches pointed out some
cheating methods that may be fail to cheat the honest participants successfully due to the malicious
participants need to know more details related to the VCS. In this study, we develop a collusive
cheating method that the cheaters don’t need to know the encryption details of the VCS. The proposed
method aims to make cheating in size invariant (k,n)-VCSs (or probabilistic VCSs). In this study, the
basic assumptions about the collusive cheating method include: the blackness level of each share are
equal, images by stacking any r shares (2<=r=k, has the same blackness level (B2) and contrast. The
collusive cheating problem is formulated as a mathematic optimization model subject to obey above-
mentioned conditions B1 and B2. The objective of the model is to maximize the contrast of the fake
secret image. We use an optimizer (i.e., CPLEX) to solve the model. Fig. 1 shows an experimental
result of the proposed method. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can make
cheating successfully.

A Formal Description Method of Asynchronous Event Sequences Using
Shuffle Expressions
Shinya Abe*

*Corresponding Author: [email protected]
Abstract
In system operations testing, it is important to determine whether event sequences generated at runtime
are those intended by the developers. Automated testing is desirable but it requires developers to
formally describe rules for event sequences. Regular expressions are generally used to describe event
sequences because they allow easy descriptions and facilitate analysis using test automation tools.
However, regular expressions are known to have insufficient descriptive ability in systems where
events are asynchronously executed in parallel. For example, describing the operation of a semaphore-
based synchronization mechanism requires maintaining the current state; however, this is difficult
using regular expressions because they cannot store values. Regular expressions can describe
concurrency in an event sequence, but such expressions involve many sums and are thus not concise.
I therefore propose a description method for asynchronous event sequences using shuffle expressions
and provide description examples for typical asynchronous problems. This paper describes our method
and gives an example description for a web system that multiple users can access asynchronously and
concurrently access.

Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) is one of the crucial vital signs for screening cardiovascular activity. In recent
studies, In order to estimate BP all the time from wearable device, photoplethysmography (PPG) and
electrocardiography (ECG) have become widely recognized as a low-cost non-invasive detection
technology for effectively estimating BP which has been recently studied improved by previous studies.
However, there are still some limitation with recording ECG and PPG simultaneously, such as
electrode of ECG connecting to both sides of the body, only awake status and without medical
regulation definition. Instead, all-day monitoring wearable device using only PPG-based wristbands
have been conducted as a convenient tool for healthcare. In order to estimate BP using PPG-based
wristbands for simpler design and more convenient user scenario. More advanced technique should be
implemented for intelligent wearable biosensor. The non-invasive optical blood pressure dynamic
monitor would estimate the characteristic of 15 sec PPG waveform, and using PPG morphology
characteristic, age and sexual to build up a database model, and using exponential Gaussian process
regression (GPR) model which is a kind of machine learning method to manage the long-term trend of
blood pressure. Combing the machine learning model and the personalized calibration method, the
results of the proposed algorithm are met by the Association for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. Also, the dynamic BP variation has been validated as long-term BP
trend for clinical use.

Abstract
With the rapid growth of user equipment for mobile communications and the increase of diverse
multimedia service, heavy demand for mobile network traffic and spectrum resources is getting more
and more urgent. 5G technology is currently developed worldwide, which not only provides high data
transmission rate and excellent QoS but also supports fruitful internet-of-thing applications or
machine-type communications for device-to-device links. Millimeter wave (mmWave) massive
multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) possesses the advantages of significantly increased data
transmission rate, higher spectrum efficiency, and larger spatial freedom, and has been recognized as
a major candidate for the air interface of 5G wireless communications. However, to realize massive
MIMO in mmWave frequencies confronts the rigorous challenges of unaffordable transceiver
complexity and energy consumption due to the requirement of a dedicated high-cost radio-frequency
chain for each antenna. As a remedy, the lens antenna array technique, which transforms the
transmitted signal in the spatial domain into the beamspace to enjoy the channel sparsity, has been
developed. To achieve the performance-complexity optimization, the beam selection is necessary to
determine an optimal set of the dominant beams with strong signal power using the feature of the
sparse beamspace channel. Nevertheless, most of existing schemes suffer from the problems of
prohibitive complexity and a poor trade-off between the sum-rate performance and energy efficiency.
In this paper, a low-complexity beam selection is proposed. The corresponding procedure is
summarized as follows: (1) Find the strongest beam for each user; (2) Determine the surviving beams
with power larger than a given threshold; (3) Perform the interference-aware (IA) beam selection for
the set of surviving beams. Computer simulations have been conducted to demonstrate that the
proposed beam selection can promise performance comparable to that of the optimal full system.
Furthermore, the performance of the proposed scheme is close to that of the conventional IA approach,
which requires a large amount of computational complexity.

Abstract
A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate the translocation and distribution of
PCDD/Fs in maize (Zea mays), vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) and physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) and
the effect of plant root on microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil. The result showed three plants were
able to grow in the highconcentration of PCDD/Fs-contaminated soil. PCDD/Fs were detected in the
root and shoot of three plant after test, but roots took up most of the PCDD/Fs compared with shoots.
Due to the differences of plant species, the distribution of PCDD/Fs in the plant tissue was different.
The root of maize and the shoot of vetiver could absorb the highest concentrations. The root
bioconcentration factors (BAF) of PCDD/Fs was calculated and correlated with log Kow. The log Kow
values express the hydrophilic or hydrophobic of pollutants. PCDD/Fs congeners were taken up by the
roots of plant, and the translocation of PCDD/Fs to the shoot was inversely related to congeners
hydrophobicity. The high log Kow was a main factor that influence the uptake and translocate of
PCDD/Fs by plants. As the numbers of chlorine of PCDD/Fs increases, log BAF of plants were lower.
In our study, the most efficient plant species for the uptake of PCDD/Fs promoted the growth of the
highest number of total bacteria compared to the unplanted.

Abstract
A three-dimensional scaffold enables the formation of realistic tissue architecture and promotes
physiological responses to activate the differentiation of induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) into
pancreatic islets. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), alginate (Alg) and gelatin (Gel) were conjugated with
methacrylic anhydride (MA) and were photo-crosslinked to prepare PVAMA-AlgMA-GelMA
hydrogel scaffolds using a water-in-oil self-assembly method. The swelling ratio, porosity and cell
entrapment in the hydrogel were investigated with various molar percentages of polymer matrix.
PVAMA and AlgMA assisted in improving the water content of the hydrogel, which created high
porosity for the migration of iPSCs, and GelMA enhanced the cell entrapment efficiency. The
selfassembled scaffolds with composition of PVAMA:AlgMA:GelMA = 1:1:2 were grafted with
activin A and bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) to induce iPSCs to definitive endoderm (DE)
lineage, followed by treatment with retinoic acid-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles for controlled release
and guided differentiation of DE cells into insulinproducing cells. Flow cytometry analysis and
immunochemical staining evidenced that the scaffolds with crosslinked BMP4 boosted the role of
surface activin A at activin A:BMP4 = 3:1 in endodermal differentiation of iPSCs to produce the
highest level of insulin after pancreatic induction and glucose stimulation. The iPSC-laden PVAMA-
AlgMAGelMA hydrogel constructs composed of repeated units and modified with activin A and
BMP4 can be promising in generating pancreas-mimetic structure and supporting the functions of
pancreatic islets.

Abstract
An efficacious Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatment modality requires combined pharmaceuticals in
specific drug delivery system. Quercetin (QUE) and rosmarinic acid (ROA) were loaded in
phosphatidic acid (PHA)-liposomes (LP) with surface apolipoprotein E (ApE), followed by covalent
crosslinking to activate biological pathways for penetrating the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and
redeeming the neuronal apoptosis from attack of β-amyloid1-42 (Aβ42) and neurofibrillary tangles.
Thin-film hydration method was utilized to prepare LP, followed by grafting with ApE, and
QUE/ROA-ApEPHA-LP was applied to AD Wistar rat model. The conjugation of LP with PHA
improved QUE and ROA activity against neurotoxicity of Aβ42. The fluorescent images of brain
capillaries revealed that surface modification with ApE improved the permeation ability of QUE/ROA-
ApE-PHA-LP across the BBB. In addition, the highest therapeutic efficacy was obtained in the case
of QUE/ROA-ApE-PHA-LP, compared to other QUE/ROA formulations studied in an in vivo AD
model. The cellular and molecular evidence from AD rats included the decrease in Aβ42 plaque
formation and interleukin-6 secretion, increase in the neuronal count in Nissl staining, and reduction
in the expression of phosphorylated JNK, ERK1/2, p38 kinase, S202 of tau protein and caspase-3. The
use of ApE-PHA-LP as a multiple-targeting formulation enhances QUE and ROA ability to infiltrate
the BBB, docks Aβ42 plaques and can be a potent approach to rescue degenerated neurons from AD.
