Abstract: Solid State Lighting (SSL) becomes one of the most important products due to their energy efficiency compared to conventional type lighting. Electroluminescence (EL) whether organic EL (also known as OLED) or inorganic EL are becoming increasingly important technology because of their potential applications for display and domestic lighting. Inorganic EL lamp is a capacitor-based electronic device technically known as Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC), while currently well-known LED lamp is a diode-based, where both of them have their own advantages. The advantages of SSL compared to conventional gas discharge lighting are they are very low power consumption, safe (non-toxic material used) and flexible design. The research is focused on development of LEC for domestic lighting purpose, and as an alternative for energy saving solid state lighting. One of its advantage is it can be generated using bi-directional current path such as from AC supply while LED and OLED only have one or unidire

Abstract: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are long-lived toxic organic compounds and are of major threat for human and ecosystem health. Recently, great concerns are raised about POPs mixtures and its potential toxicity even in doses of daily human exposure. Taking in consideration that current scientific consensus states that deficits in energetic metabolism and oxidative stress are common characteristics between neurodegenerative diseases and a large range of POPs is incriminated in the pathogenesis of these diseases, it would be quite interesting to study the effects of exposure to these mixtures on brain. For that, an orally chronic exposure to a representative mixture of POPs composed of Endosulfan (2.6µg), Chlorpyrifos(5.2µg),Naphthalene(0.023µg)andBenzopyrane(0.002µg)/kg, or the same mixture folded by 10 or 100 were tested on the oxidative stress state in different brain regions of adult female rats. Exposed rats have shown an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and an alteratio
