Background

Basic health literacy and trust in physicians can influence medication adherence in patients receiving dialysis. However, how high-order health literacy is associated with medication adherence and how trust in physicians mediates this association remain unclear. We assessed the inter-relationships between health literacy, trust in physicians, and medication adherence. We investigated the mediating role of trust in physicians in the relationship between health literacy and medication adherence.

Methods

This multicenter cross-sectional study included Japanese adults receiving outpatient hemodialysis at six dialysis centers. Multidimensional health literacy was measured using the 14-item Functional, Communicative, and Critical Health Literacy scale. Trust in physicians was measured using the five-item Wake Forest Physician Trust scale. Medication adherence was measured using the 12-item Adherence Starts with Knowledge scale. A series of general linear models were created to analyze the associations between health literacy and Adherence Starts Knowledge scores with and without trust in physicians. Mediation analysis was performed to determine whether trust in physicians mediated this association.

Results

In total, 455 patients were analyzed. Higher functional and communicative health literacies were associated with less adherence difficulties (per 1-point higher: −1.79 [95% confidence interval (CI): −2.59 to −0.99] and −2.21 [95% CI: −3.45 to −0.96], respectively), whereas higher critical health literacy was associated with greater adherence difficulties (per 1-point higher: 1.69 [95% CI: 0.44 to 2.94]). After controlling for trust in physicians, the magnitude of the association between health literacies and medication adherence decreased. Trust in physicians partially mediated the association between functional or communicative health literacy and medication adherence (especially beliefs) and completely mediated the association between critical health literacy and medication adherence (especially behaviors).

Conclusions

Functional and communicative health literacies were positively associated with medication adherence, whereas critical health literacy was negatively associated with it. Each association was mediated by trust in physicians.

Published: December 2023

This study evaluated cellulose nanofibers from bolaina blanca wood (Guazuma crinita) obtained at different heights of the longitudinal axis of the shaft of trees from a three-and-a-half-year-old plantation. The wood was subjected to pulping, bleaching and subsequent mechanical milling using a Changsha Samy XYQM-2L planetary ball mill to obtain cellulose nanofibers. The product was characterised using analytical techniques: scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Additionally, the degree of polymerisation was determined. The effect of longitudinal position on cellulose nanofibers characteristics was evaluated by comparing means using ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis statistical tests. The yield of cellulose nanofibers production from the high, middle and basal sections was 32,1 %, 33,6 % and 31 %, respectively. The obtained cellulose nanofibers exhibited a significantly larger diameter for the high zone (84 nm) compared with the middle (75 nm) and basal (69 nm) zones; the length remained above the micrometre range. With respect to degree of polymerisation, a decrease was evidenced with respect to the increase in shaft height; the basal zone exhibited a degree of polymerisation of 300, a significantly higher value than the middle and high zones, which exhibited degree of polymerisation of 249 and 211, respectively. The product showed typical cellulose type I polymorphism and crystallinity indexes of 76 %, 93 % and 96 % for the high, middle and basal sections, respectively. Regarding the thermostability of cellulose nanofibers, the maximum degradation rate of cellulose nanofibers occurred between 335 °C and 341 °C, with cellulose nanofibers from the basal area being the most stable. The adsorption of the methylene blue dye on cellulose nanofibers was evaluated; an efficiency > 60 % was found.
Determining the ability for universal quantum computing: Testing controllability via dimensional expressivity
Authors: Gago-Encinas Fernando , Hartung Tobias , Reich Daniel M. , Jansen Karl , Koch Christiane P.
Published: December 2023

Operator controllability refers to the ability to implement an arbitrary unitary in SU(N) and is a prerequisite for universal quantum computing. Controllability tests can be used in the design of quantum devices to reduce the number of external controls. Their practical use is hampered, however, by the exponential scaling of their numerical effort with the number of qubits. Here, we devise a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm based on a parametrized quantum circuit. We show that controllability is linked to the number of independent parameters, which can be obtained by dimensional expressivity analysis. We exemplify the application of the algorithm to qubit arrays with nearest-neighbour couplings and local controls. Our work provides a systematic approach to the resource-efficient design of quantum chips.
Strategi Pembinaan Aqidah dan Akhlak pada Anak Disabilitas (Tunagrahita) dI SLB Kota Banda Aceh
Authors: Umam Khairul
Published: December 2023

Intellectually disabled children are children who have an intelligence level that is below average and has difficulty in adapting their behavior as they grow. SLB TNCC Banda Aceh is a special education program that aims to support the development and expression of the potential of students with special needs, including developing aqidah and morals. Therefore, the role of school principals and teachers is crucial in developing the faith and morals of children, especially tunagrahita children. The aims of the research are: 1) to find out strategies for fostering aqidah and morals in children with disabilities (Tunagrahita) at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh; 2) to find out the supporting and inhibiting factors for strategies for fostering faith and morals in children with disabilities (Tunagrahita) at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh. The research method used in this study is a descriptive-qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of 7 people, namely: the principal, 2 class teachers and 4 mentally retarded children. Data collection techniques were carried out using observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results found that 1) there are four strategies used by teachers in developing the aqidah and morals of tunagrahita children at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh City, those are through habituation, exemplary strategies, discipline strategies, and through mauidzah (giving advice) strategies. 2) There are several obstacles in the strategy of developing aqidah and morals for mentally retarded children at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh. Tunagrahita children are difficult to talk to because they are not very capable of speaking. Hence, the children prefer to remain silent, and it is also related to the background of the children, who come from a variety of different backgrounds and families, so they often bring behavioral patterns or traditions from the environment before they join the school. The solutions provided are: 1) Holding a meeting with the child's parents; this aims to guide parents on the best way to support their children who have special needs for mental retardation. 2) Implement training and habituation strategies, because with the habituation strategies that are implemented, children continue to repeat or practice the habits they do.

Keywords: Development Strategy, Aqidah and Morals, Tunagrahita Children
Sorrow for books: What did the compilers of 16th-century autobibliographies worry about?
Authors: Sergeev M. L.
Published: December 2023

The article examines a type of “autobiographical sadness” — the author’s feelings associated with the creation and publication of books. Varied manifestations of self-reflection and emotions are found in texts of the autobibliographic genre, which flourished in the era of humanism and early printing. The synthesisof bibliography and biography, which had Greek and Roman prototypes and was characteristic, among others, of humanist handbooks in bibliography, contributed to the explicit expression of the authorial “self” in such seemingly technical, dry and “objective” works. The very structure of these handbooks implied the inclusion of an article about its compiler in the text. In this article, two examples of such texts are analyzed — namely, the autobibliographies by the Swiss polymath Conrad Gessner and by the English clergyman and historian John Bale. Written only three years apart (in 1545 and 1548, respectively), they nevertheless differ significantly, in both the organization of the biographical narrative and in the nature of book presentation. The article shows that the peculiarity of these texts is largely due to differences in the self-identification and self-presentation of their authors. While for Bale the acquisition of the true faith and confessional polemics were of fundamental importance, Gessner, though also a Protestant, places his own formation as a humanist author and interaction with book publishers in the focus of the story.
Mathilde Hollitscher, fashion designer: On the question of obscure pages of Sigmund Freud’s biography and 20th century women’s creative labour
Authors: Lebedeva O. M.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to an analysis of some aspects, pro[1]fessional as well as creative ones, of the biography of Mathilde Hollitscher, Sigmund Freud’s eldest daughter. In this context her life story is presented as a point of convergence of several research trajectories, including the history of the psychoanalytic movement and biographical studies related to the founder of psychoanalysis and his relationship with the world of clothing and textiles. At the same time, this research focuses on the shift of the practices of women’s creative work from the invisible area of domestic labour to the sphere of professional activity implemented in the public space in the 20th century. The article considers the professional life of Freud’s eldest daughter as an illustrative example of such deterritorialization, and also outlines the connections of the Freud family with the world of textiles and clothing. All this opens up new possibilities to elucidate a number of episodes in the history of the psychoanalytic movement, as well as some facts of Sigmund Freud’s biography. The presented materials also create additional perspectives for comprehending the legacy of the founder of psychoanalysis.
“Fed up with the historical homeland”: Re-emigrating from Israel and creating the image of the “Zionist hell”
Authors: Zelenina G. S.
Published: December 2023

Israeli secret analytical reports from the late 1970s expressed anxiety over the growth of neshira — “dropping out” of Jews who left the Soviet Union on Israeli visas but chose to reside in other Western countries. Neshira went hand in hand with another disturbing phenomenon — yerida, the departure of new Soviet immigrants from Israel to Europe or America, or their return to the Soviet Union. The Soviet press kept reporting about “re-emigrants” with a completely different intonation, as did KGB reports. The article examines negative impressions of Israel as transmitted, perhaps in an aggravated form, by Soviet journalists, and as presented in the ego-documents of new immigrants, future re-emigrants included. The stories of the absorption experience related in the egodocuments and therefore deemed trustworthy confirm the relative authenticity of newspaper reports and reveal that the main reason for disappointment were not financial, climatic or other difficulties, but the attitude of the Israeli bureaucracy and fellow citizens perceived as deliberate humiliation of human dignity. When relating their Israeli experience, former Soviet Jews demonstrated their commitment to familiar values, including a preference for the spiritual over the material (e. g., human dignity over prosperity), and social stratification habits, such as differentiation between educated cultural Jews from the big cities and provincial, or shtetl, Jews.

Dissolving distances: Designing close-to-body experiences for remote settings
Authors: Nesli Hazal Oktay
Published: December 2023

I aim to offer embodied intimacy for people who are close by heart but physically apart. Specifically, I explore designing close-to-body experiences at a distance through intimate bio-rings, rings made of natural ingredients. Intimate bio-rings are highly customizable, can be biodegraded, and start dissolving when exposed to humidity e.g.: rain, sweat etc. The idea of creating a non-lasting object to be worn on the body—that required care, that was ambiguous and tangible—was a result of a prior user study of cultural probing and embodied design ideation. I further experimented with intimate bio-rings by making the ring and wearing it in everyday life together with my father, whom I live far away from. In this paper, I showcase a user study with 3 pairs (6 participants) that made intimate bio-rings at their homes while self-reported and self-documented their personal experiences. They then further shared their meaning-makings with me through an interview. Overall, participants found intimate bio-rings to be supporting new understandings about intimacy at a distance. As a result, their experience of "distance" alters slightly or changes completely by i) embarking on a journey, ii) creating time and space to be together, and iii) carrying each other through a tangible object.

DroughtVision -Global Drought Prediction with Computer Vision
Authors: Rahman Mashrekur , Nearing Grey S
Published: December 2023

The escalating impact of climate change underscores the need for precise
and timely forecasts of meteorological phenomena, particularly droughts,
due to their extensive effects on agriculture, water resources, and
ecosystems. Addressing this, we introduce a deep learning framework that
merges Computer Vision with modified Transformer networks, tailored to
predict future drought conditions leveraging historical global climate
data. Our model inputs are stacked monthly global maps of Sea Surface
Temperature, Temperature 2m above ground, and Total Precipitation, each
spanning a year, thus creating a 36-channel input to capture seasonal
variability.This study extends conventional Vision Transformers (ViT) by
adapting them for sequence processing, enabling the model to learn the
intricate temporal dynamics and spatial interdependencies inherent in
climate data. By employing a sliding window approach, the model
assimilates a sequence length of 12 months for each variable, and the
target variables are stacks of Standardized Precipitation &
Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Our modified ViT architecture
successfully integrates the temporal sequencing by adjusting
convolutional patch embeddings and positional embeddings, rendering the
model sensitive to both the chronological progression and spatial
distribution of climatic factors. Preliminary evaluations indicate the
model’s robust capability in forecasting drought conditions on a global
scale. We substantiate these findings with performance metrics that
illustrate the model’s efficacy in interpreting and predicting the
complex, non-linear, and non-stationary patterns of drought phenomena.

APPLICATION OF THE EMOTIONAL INDEX IN THE STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF TELEVISION ADVERTISING ON THE RECIPIENT
Authors: Niemcewicz Piotr
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article was to present cognitive neuroscience techniques (GSR and HR) for the study of emotions and to verify whether there is a correlation with the corresponding stages of models of advertising influence on the viewer. The study was based on the AIDA model. The results of the analyzed advertisement showed that it is possible to assess with a high degree of accuracy whether the advertisement was properly designed (for the adopted model). By analyzing the emotional index EI determined from the GSR and HR studies, it is possible to make appropriate adjustments at the stage of advertising implementation. Referring directly to the analyzed advertisement, it should be noted that positive and negative emotions can appear in different situations, depending on gender. The same scenes can be perceived positively by women and negatively by men, and vice versa. Such insights should be taken into account during design and preliminary testing even before broadcasting.
Mining meaning from online hotel reviews: identification of determinants of (dis-) satisfaction using Latent Dirichlet allocation
Authors: Tepavcevic Jelena , Dubover Denis , Nikolic Gojko
Published: December 2023

User-generated content (UGC) is increasing, so it is critical to clearly
understand what customers think about the positive and negative aspects of
specific goods. Such information is crucial for customers as well as for
businesses. Online reviews are a powerful tool for a deep comprehension of
customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. This research intended to
recognize the sources of satisfaction and dissatisfaction among business
travelers in city hotels in Serbia. A total of 5,596 online reviews from 120
city hotels in Serbia were collected. Keyword-based visualization was used
to display the most frequent words related to the experience during the
hotel stay, reflecting the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of consumers.
Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) was used for grouping positive and
negative reviews into various topics. Results showed that business
travelers' primary satisfaction sources are ?Conference facilities?,
?Atmosphere?, ?Amenities?, ?Accessibility?, and ?Location?. On the other
hand, the sources of dissatisfaction are ?Dirtiness? and ?Internet
Connection?. Based on the obtained results, hotel managers can direct their
activities to improve the spheres that have proven to be the sources of
dissatisfaction for customers.
The effects of servant leadership on employees’ outcomes in the Serbian hotel industry
Authors: Alavuk Djordje , Kholina Veronika , Jovicic-Vukovic Ana , Tomasevic Dragana
Published: December 2023

Modern human resource management involves a series of methods that ensure
employee satisfaction, intending to achieve organizational goals. The
perception of hotel staff as a factor of market success implies the creation
of a working environment within which the performance of employees would be
adequately used for these purposes. Consequently, the need for extensive
research of leaders who will be able to respond to all business and social
challenges arises as a basic prerequisite for achieving enviable business
results. This paper aims to examine the impact of servant leadership on
positive and negative outcomes in the field of hotel business. For the
purposes of the survey, 412 hotel workers, employed in various hierarchical
positions, were surveyed. The results of the research indicate a positive
correlation between servant leadership and job satisfaction and work
engagement, that is, a negative correlation between this leadership style
and turnover intention and burnout. Furthermore, regression analysis
confirmed the direct impact of servant leadership on job satisfaction and
work engagement, as well as turnover intention. This study fills theoretical
gaps in the aspect of choosing purposeful leadership styles in the sphere of
hotel business in Serbia.

Published: December 2023

A tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) composite layer was formed on a stainless-steel type 304 (SS304) substrate using multibeam laser metal deposition (LMD) with blue diode lasers. This paper aims to provide WC–Co layer formation with low porosity and high layer formation efficiency by using the multibeam LMD process. The effects of process parameters such as laser output power and powder feed rate are tied together to explain the geometry of the melt layer as well as the fraction of the laser energy used for melting a material. The experimental results show that the porosity rate and layer formation efficiency were recorded at 0.3% and 0.0042 mm3/J, respectively, at the laser output power of 180 W and a powder feed rate of 75 mg/s. It was revealed that layer formation efficiency was dependent on the laser output power.
Texturing skin-pass rolls by high-speed laser melt injection, laser ablation, and electrolytic etching
Authors: Warneke Philipp , Bohlen Annika , Seefeld Thomas
Published: December 2023

Skin-pass rolls are used for setting the final sheet thickness and surface texture. For sheet metal that is produced for forming, textured skin-pass rolls featuring a high-low structure are used in order to improve the formability and paint adhesion of the sheet. In this paper, new textures for skin-pass rolls generated by high-speed laser melt injection (HSLMI) are presented and characterized. Furthermore, it is studied how the texture of the roll is transferred to steel and aluminum sheets. With HSLMI, metal matrix composite (MMC) layers featuring spherical fused tungsten carbide (SFTC) particles with a high hardness could be produced on skin-pass rolls. For generating an increased high-low structure, laser ablation and electrolytic etching were carried out after HSLMI and grinding of the rolls. An analysis of the topography showed that different protruding heights between SFTC particles and matrix can be set. The textures generated by laser ablation showed a topography featuring two homogeneous height levels, whereas a texture with spherically shaped particles could be generated by electrolytic etching. Furthermore, it was found that all textures were transferred from the roll to both steel and aluminum sheets. The transfer of the textures mainly depended on the protruding height of the SFTC particles and the SFTC particle content of the roll.
Finland som fullt integrert nordisk EU-medlem: Erfaringer fra de siste ti år
Authors: Jokela Juha
Published: December 2023

Denne artikkelen ser på Finlands erfaringer med EU-medlemskap de siste ti årene. Den starter med å analysere erfaringer fra tre sentrale politikkområder i EU: (i) EUs sikkerhets- og forsvarspolitikk; (ii) Den økonomiske og monetære union (EMU); og (iii) EUs grønne omstilling. Deretter drøfter artikkelen hvordan utviklingen i EU har påvirket det parlamentariske demokratiet i Finland. Artikkelens analytiske rammeverk trekker på europeiserings-litteraturen og setter søkelys både på finsk tilpasning til EUs beslutninger og på arbeidet med å fremme finske interesser i EU. Artikkelen viser også hvordan flere alvorlige kriser den siste tiden ytterligere har understreket viktigheten av EU for Finland. Analysen av Finlands involvering i ulike politikkområder viser også hvordan den finske regjeringen og parlamentet arbeider aktivt både for å fremme finske interesser på EU-nivå og med iverksetting (og tilpasninger til) vedtatte EU-beslutninger på nasjonalt nivå. Finland er klar over sin relative innflytelse i EU, men anser seg likevel som en av regelskaperne i unionen ettersom de er så dypt og fullstendig integrert i unionen.
Abstract in English:Finland as a Fully Integrated Nordic EU Member: Experiences During the Past DecadeThis article evaluates Finland’s experiences of EU membership over the past ten years. It does so by focusing on three key EU policy fields: (i) EU security and defence policy; (ii) EMU and the single market; and (iii) EU’s green transition. Subsequently, the article also discusses the implications of EU developments on Finnish parliamentary democracy. The analytical framework of the article draws on Europeanization literature, and the analysis focuses on adaptation pressures stemming from EU decision-making and projection of Finnish priorities to the EU level. The article suggests that several and severe EU crises have re-politized EU affairs in Finland. Amid this, the tightening strategic competition among the great powers in economic terms as well as an aggressive Russia and worsened outlook for international security have underlined the importance of the EU in advancing Finland’s economic and security policy interests in Europe and beyond. The analysis concerning the key policy sectors suggests a deep and broad political involvement of the Finnish government and parliament in projecting Finnish interests to, and adaptation of arrived decisions at, the EU level. Aware of its relative power, Finland however sees itself as one of the rule makers in Europe and beyond due to its full integration into the EU.

One of the wood sources in Indonesia is derived from private forests managed with agroforestry systems. The harvesting operation in these forests will produce harvesting residues. The study aimed to quantify the harvesting residue volume and to construct a prediction model for harvesting residue volume in a private forest managed with an agroforestry system. The study was conducted in a private forest managed with an agroforestry system in Probolinggo, East Java. The method employed for quantifying harvesting residue was a whole-tree method. The harvesting residue was classified into stumps, butt ends, top logs, and branches. Harvesting residues with dbh >= 4 cm were measured after harvesting. The best model was selected based on the Root Mean Squared Error and the adjusted coefficient of determination values.   The number of sample trees was 31 trees, which were chosen by farmers to be felled. The study found that the harvesting residues were 6% of the total harvested volume. The harvesting residue was predominantly the stumps. The best model for estimating harvesting residue volume in agroforestry private forests was V = 0.042VolTot1.248. The study concluded that harvesting operations in private forests managed with agroforestry systems produced a small number of harvesting residues. The harvested volume was the most significant indicator for estimating the harvesting residue volume.

Authors: YOLCU Kadriye
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışma, demokrasi kavramı ve son zamanlarda üzerinde en çok tartışılan demokrasi türlerinden biri olan müzakereci demokrasi üzerine yapılan değerlendirmeleri içerir. En geçerli tanım olarak literatürde yer alan tanım olan; halkın, halk tarafından yönetimini esas alan demokrasi kavramına, zamanla toplumsal grupların ilerleme seviyelerine bağlı olarak çeşitli tanımlamalar yapılmaya başlandığı görülmektedir. Farklı ülkelerde demokrasinin uygulanma şekillerine bağlı olarak da birçok demokrasi türü ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunların içinde günümüzde özellikle batılı devletler tarafından öne sürülen müzakereci demokrasi anlayışı, alternatif bir tür olarak dile getirilmiştir. Müzakereci demokrasi, vatandaşların ve toplum odaklı kuruluşların, alınması gereken kararın oluşumuna dair süreçlerde katılımlarının sağlanması açısından örnek bir model olarak görülmektedir. Günümüz devletlerinin artan nüfusları ve küreselleşme ile birlikte karmaşık hale gelen problemler düşünüldüğünde, bu modelin uygulanması oldukça zordur.

Published: December 2023

Treatment of ureterolithiasis has switched to mini-invasive procedures, such as ESWL and ureteroscopy. The laparoscopic ureterolithotomy method is more helpful for large and hard ureteral stones and minimizes the incidence of sepsis than ESWL or ureteroscopy. This study aims to compare open ureterolithotomy and laparoscopic ureterolithotomy. This retrospective cohort study used 27 samples. The inclusion criteria of this study were patients with proximal ureteral stones, having a stone size >2 cm, confirmed by CT scan findings, and receiving an open ureterolithotomy or retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy. The data collected has demographic characteristics and perioperative and postoperative parameters. Operating time in the laparoscopic group (171.00 + 19.12 minutes) is longer than open ureterolithotomy (83.24 + 7.49 minutes) with p-values of 0.001. Average blood loss (51.30 + 12.04 ml) and analgesic needed (880.00 + 647.73 mg) were better in the laparoscopic group, with each p-value being 0.006 and 0.004. Longer hospital stay was found in the open group with a mean is 2.53 + 0.80 days (p =0.005). Perioperative complications were found in 1 person in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.370) and three postoperative complications in the open group (p = 0.274). Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is effective and safe for proximal urethral stones larger than 2 cm.

The excessive use of wood as a raw material in furniture industries has raised environmental concerns that have attracted the attention of many individuals. Consequently, various innovations have been explored in developing alternative materials for the furniture industry. One promising resource that has the potential to be developed as a raw material for furniture applications is Nipah palm husk. Nipah palm husk is classified as an agricultural waste that is barely used within society and industries. Hence, in this study, Nipah palm husk will be utilized as the primary material to fabricate particle board by involving tapioca as an adhesive. This research aimed to investigate the effect of tapioca concentrations on water absorption, modulus elasticity, modulus of rupture, and screw-holding strength of the produced Nipah palm husk particleboard. The results of this study showed that the particle board produced with a 40% tapioca adhesive concentration exhibited the most favorable physical and mechanical properties with a water absorption rate of 25%, an elastic modulus of 21188.93 kg/cm2, a modulus of rupture of 55.53 kg/cm2, and a screw holding power of 7.53 kg. The findings indicated that Nipah-based particle board has the potential to be developed as an alternative for the furniture industry.

Multi-soil-layering (MSL) is well-known as an emerging technology for wastewater treatment. However, limited studies have been conducted on the crumb rubber industry. Thus, this study aims to reduce the crumb rubber industrial wastewater using MSL system. Four models of MSL conducted it. They are (1) constructed by body size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil and fine charcoal; (2) body size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil, fine charcoal, sawdust, and iron particles; (3) tube size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil and fine charcoal; and (4) tube size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil, fine charcoal and sawdust.  The construction models were installed in the variance of the box and each of them was flowed by the Hydraulic Loading Rate of wastewater. Aeration treatment is given to the maximum hydraulic loading rate. The result showed that MSL systems significantly minimize the crumb rubber industrial wastewater under requirements that cover Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Total Nitrogen (T-N) and Total ammonia (T-NH3). It also significantly neutralizes the power of Hydrogen (pH) up to 6. The highest reduction was obtained by the MSL 3 system (tube size of gravel with a mixture of andosol soil and fine charcoal). The aeration significantly decreased the BOD, COD, TSS, and ammonia from 85% to 99%. Although the aeration process enhanced the performance of MSL system, however, MSL without aeration successfully treated the wastewater to meet the required standard. This study provides new insight into the effectiveness of MSL system in reducing pollutant parameters of crum rubber industrial wastewater.
