Freshwater scarcity is a global crisis due to limited accessible freshwater resources and rising demand. Seawater desalination is a key solution but is energy-intensive and reliant on fossil fuels, leading to high costs and environmental impacts. This study aims to investigate the use of solar thermal energy from an evacuated tube collector for freshwater production via evaporation and condensation. The focus is on analyzing system efficiency by comparing freshwater yield with energy input. The findings may contribute to the development of sustainable desalination technologies suitable for freshwater-scarce regions.

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a byproduct of the coffee brewing process, and their quantity continues to increase due to the growing global coffee consumption. SCG contain beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides, dietary fibers, and antioxidants, which can be utilized in various applications, including prebiotic extraction. This study focuses on extracting prebiotics from SCG using acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis methods to evaluate their potential in promoting the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms. The expected results of this research include adding value to coffee industry waste, reducing organic waste, and providing a sustainable approach to developing prebiotic products for use in the food and health industries. Furthermore, this study aligns with sustainable resource utilization and environmentally friendly practices.

The evaluation of mango yield and consumer behavior reflects an increasing awareness of product origins, with a growing demand for traceability to understand how the produce has been cultivated and managed. This study explores the relationship between mango characteristics and cultivation practices before harvest, using location identification to provide insights into these processes. To achieve this, a model was developed to detect and locate mangoes using 2D images via a Deep Learning approach. The study also investigates techniques to determine the real-world coordinates of mangoes from 2D images. The YOLOv8 model was employed for object detection, integrated with camera calibration and triangulation techniques to estimate the 3D positions of detected mangoes. Experiments involved 125 trials with randomized mango positions and camera placements at varying yaw and pitch angles. Parameters extracted from sequential images were compared to derive the actual 3D positions of the mangoes. The YOLOv8 model demonstrated high performance with prediction metrics of Precision (0.928), Recall (0.901), mAP50 (0.965), mAP50-95 (0.785), and F1-Score (0.914). These results indicate sufficient accuracy for predicting mango positions, with an average positional error of approximately 38 centimeters.
