Prinsip Kehadiran Terdakwa pada Persidangan Pidana Elektronik di Masa Pandemi Covid-19: Perbandingan Indonesia dan Belanda
Authors: Ligasetiawan Edwin , Nelson Febby Mutiara
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes to the criminal justice system in many countries in the world, one of which is the trial methods using electronic devices such as videoconferencing. This change has an impact on the fulfillment of the defendant’s right of presence before the court as regulated in the Indonesia Criminal Procedure Code. The presence of the defendant is one of the basic rights in a trial, which also ensures the implementation of a fair trial because it is related to the evidentiary process. In this article, the principle of the defendant’s presence in electronic criminal trials is discussed by comparing Indonesian and Dutch laws. This study demonstrates that electronic criminal trials in Indonesia are only regulated in a Supreme Court Regulation and they are in conflict with the Indonesia Criminal Procedure Code; whereas in the Netherlands, despite its regulation in the Dutch Criminal Procedure Code, the use of videoconferencing is considered a violation of the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. This article argues that an electronic criminal trial requires the defendant’s agreement or provision that guarantees the rights of the defendant, because this trial overrides the defendant’s right of presence before the court.

Abstrak

Pandemi covid-19 turut memengaruhi perubahan sistem peradilan pidana pada berbagai negara di dunia, salah satunya adalah metode persidangan bersaranakan alat elektronik seperti videoconference. Perubahan ini berdampak pada hak terdakwa untuk hadir di muka pengadilan, yang di Indonesia diatur dalam KUHAP. Kehadiran terdakwa ini merupakan salah satu hak dasar terdakwa dalam suatu persidangan, yang turut menjamin pelaksanaan peradilan yang adil (fair trial) karena berkaitan dengan proses pembuktian. Dalam artikel ini prinsip kehadiran terdakwa dalam persidangan pidana elektronik dibahas melalui perbandingan hukum Indonesia dan Belanda. Hasil kajian menunjukkan, sidang pidana elektronik di Indonesia hanya diatur dalam Peraturan Mahkamah Agung dan ini berbenturan dengan KUHAP; sedangkan di Belanda, sekalipun telah dituangkan dalam KUHAP, penggunaan videoconference dianggap melanggar ketentuan European Convention on Human Rights. Artikel ini berpendapat, persidangan pidana secara elektronik memerlukan persetujuan terdakwa atau ketentuan yang menjamin seluruh hak-hak terdakwa dapat dipenuhi, sebab persidangan demikian itu mengenyampingkan hak terdakwa untuk hadir di muka sidang.

Authors: YILMAZ Ufuk
Published: December 2022

In this study, using the multi-criteria decision-making mechanism PROMETHEE method, a decision-making mechanism is created for the most suitable paper selection according to some optical and physical properties of the papers. Within the scope of the study, 80 g/m2 high grade papers obtained from 5 different companies are used. The optical and physical properties of these papers are measured in the laboratory environment and the most suitable paper is selected by using the multi-criteria decision-making method. By using this method, the situations where the decision makers are undecided in the selection of paper became meaningful. By using this method, the most suitable paper can be selected in cases where there is uncertainty in both the paper and printing sector, and this method can be used by all companies that appeal to this sector. This study, which may attract the attention of many companies for the paper industry, has the potential to shed light on the studies in the field of decision making.

Published: December 2022

Miliary tuberculosis (MTB) is a rare, disseminated, and active form of
tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli. It is mostly
seen in immune-compromised patients but is sometimes reported in
immune-competent hosts. We reported a 40-year-old immune-competent
patient who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin.
Three types of hotspots- weak, moderate and strong in protein-protein and protein-peptide interactions
Authors: A. Kiran Kumar , Rathore R.S.
Published: December 2022

Protein-protein and protein-peptide interactions (PPIs and PPepI) belong
to a similar category of interactions yet seemingly subtle differences
exist among them. To characterize differences between protein-protein
(PPI) and protein-peptide interactions (PPepI), we have focussed on two
important class of residues- hotspot and anchor residues. Using implicit
solvation-based free-energy calculations, a very large-scale alanine
scanning has been performed on benchmarking dataset, consisting of over
5500 interface residues. The differences in the two categories are more
pronounced, if the hotspot data is divided into three distinct types,
namely - weak hotspots (having binding free energy loss upon Ala
mutation, ΔΔG, 2-10 kcal/mol), moderate hotspots (ΔΔG, 10-20 kcal/mol)
and strong hotspots (ΔΔG ≥ 20 kcal/mol). The analysis suggests that for
PPI, weak hotspots are predominantly populated by polar and hydrophobic
residues. The distribution shifts towards charged and polar residues for
moderate hotspot and charged residues (principally Arg) are
overwhelmingly present in the strong hotspot. In contrast, in the PPepI
dataset, the distribution shifts from predominantly hydrophobic and
polar (in the weak type) to almost similar preference for polar,
hydrophobic and charged residues (in moderate type) and finally the
charged residue (Arg) and Trp are mostly occupied in the strong type. In
anchor residue class of both categories, the preferred residues are Arg,
Tyr and Leu, possesing bulky side chaing and which also strike a
delicate balance between side chain flexibility and rigidity. The
present knowledge should aid in effective design of biologics, when
augmentation or disruption of PPI are substituted with the peptide-based
mimics.

Published: December 2022

Background and Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects up to half
of the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which
exerts deleterious impact on health outcomes and survivability. Vascular
endothelial dysfunction marks the onset of cardiovascular disease. The
present study examined the effect of a potent NADPH Oxidase (NOX)
inhibitor and free-radical scavenger, apocynin, on COPD-related CVD.
Experimental Approach: Male BALB/c mice were exposed to either room air
(Sham) or cigarette smoke (CS) generated from 9 cigarettes per day, 5
days a week for up to 24 weeks with or without apocynin treatment (5
mg·kg-1·day-1, intraperitoneal injection). Key Results: Eight-weeks of
apocynin treatment reduced airway neutrophil infiltration (by 42%) and
completely preserved endothelial function and endothelial nitric oxide
synthase (eNOS) activity against the oxidative insults of CS exposure.
These preservative effects were maintained up until the 24-week time
point. 24-week of apocynin treatment exhibited marked benefits on airway
inflammation (reduced infiltration of macrophage, neutrophil and
lymphocyte) and lung function decline (hyperinflation), and prevented
airway collagen deposition by CS exposure. Conclusion and Implications:
Limiting NOX activity may slow COPD progression and lower CVD risk,
particularly when signs of oxidative stress become evident.
Multi-Resonance Dual-Polarised Symmetrically Cross-Slotted Square Patch Antenna for 5G Millimeter-Wave Broadband Applications
Authors: Wu Qi , Yu Haipeng , Yu Yiming , Gao Songtao , Yu Chen , Wang Haiming
Published: December 2022

A dual-polarized symmetrically cross-slotted square patch (SCSSP)
antenna with multimode resonance is proposed for 5G millimeter-wave
broadband applications. A symmetrical cross-slot is etched on the square
patch surface to change the original E-field distribution where a whole
square patch is cut into four disconnected equal parts. For both
polarizations, this etching also tunes the resonance frequencies of the
two modes to be sufficiently close to each other. Therefore, the antenna
can realize good impedance performance within the wide designated
bandwidth. Dual-polarized radiation of the SCSSP is vertically excited
by three bow-tie-shaped slots and fed by two orthogonal substrate
integrated coaxial lines. Simulated and measured results show that the
fabricated prototype achieves a broad overlapped impedance bandwidth of
50.0% (24-40 GHz), isolation higher than 30 dB between the two input
ports, stable radiation pattern, and low cross-polarization over the
operating band. Moreover, the proposed SCSSP antenna with compact size,
planar shape, and simple vertical feeding is very well-suited for
two-dimensional array design.
The relationships of breeding stage to daytime singing behaviour and song perch height in Bermuda White-eyed Vireos (Vireo griseus bermudianus)
Authors: Mejias Miguel , Wilson David
Published: December 2022

Bird song is crucial for attracting mates and defending territories, but
different types of song or different singing behaviours may be involved
in acquiring or maintaining each resource. Furthermore, male songbirds
may adjust when and where they sing throughout the breeding season,
depending on their breeding stage. However, such relationships remain
untested in several avian taxa. Here, we studied male Bermuda White-eyed
Vireos (Vireo griseus bermudianus), a passerine with two distinct song
types (discrete and rambling), to test the mate attraction, territory
defence, and nesting stage hypotheses. We compare song rate and song
perch height among different stages of the breeding season and during
the non-breeding season. We show that male vireos produce both song
types during the breeding and non-breeding seasons, suggesting dual
roles in mate choice and territorial defence. Singing rate did not
differ between the two seasons, but, within the breeding season, males
without nesting duties had significantly higher song rates than males
with nesting duties. Song rate was lowest during the nestling stage,
which coincided with the highest rate of nest predation. Song perch
height was higher during the breeding season versus non-breeding season,
among males without nesting duties compared to males with nesting
duties, and when males produced discrete versus rambling songs. Our
findings suggest that male vireos increase their conspicuousness to
prospecting females by increasing singing rate and song perch height,
and that they sing during the breeding and non-breeding seasons to
defend year-round territories. Collectively, our study supports the mate
attraction and territory defence hypotheses of bird song and suggests
that Bermuda White-eyed Vireos adjust their singing rate in response to
nest predation risk.
Hard life for sons in the nest? Sex-dependent offspring mortality in great tits in relation to breeding habitat and age
Authors: Ágh Nóra , Dalvári Henrietta , Szabó Krisztián , Pipoly Ivett , Liker Andras
Published: December 2022

Sex-biased mortality can occur in birds during development, for example
due to sexual differences in energy requirement and/or environmental
sensitivity, or the effects of sex hormones or sex differences in
expression of mutations linked to sex chromosomes. Urban habitats often
provide poorer conditions for nestling development resulting in higher
offspring mortality compared to natural habitats, which may accelerate
sex differences in offspring mortality in cities. To test this
hypothesis, we examined sex-specific offspring mortality in great tits
(Parus major), using 660 samples of dead offspring collected in two
urban and two forest sites between 2013-2019. Overall, the sex ratio of
dead offspring was significantly male-biased (56.80%). When habitats
and age groups were analysed separately, the sex ratio of dead offspring
was significantly male-biased in urban habitat (57.60%) and in young
nestlings (58.62%), and non-significantly in the forest habitat
(56.58%) and in unhatched embryos (54.11%) or in old nestlings
(54.55%). However, these estimates were associated with wide confidence
intervals, thus sex ratios of dead offspring did not differ
significantly among study sites and between age groups when these were
analysed together. 70.30% of unhatched eggs was not fertilized, and
their proportion did not differ between urban and forest habitats. These
results suggest male-biased offspring mortality in great tits, and
highlight the need of large datasets to detect subtle differences
between habitats and developmental stages.
Molecular simulation of confined ethaline-based deep eutectic solvents for separations of carbon dioxide from methane
Authors: Xu Jiaming , Hung Francisco
Published: December 2022

Classical molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the
separation of carbon dioxide from methane by three formulations of the
deep eutectic solvent (DES) ethaline (choline chloride: ethylene glycol
at 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 molar ratios), in the bulk and confined inside
carbon and titania slit pores of two different pore widths, 2 nm and 5
nm. The highest permselectivities (~20) are observed for
1:2 ethaline in a 5 nm carbon pore, followed by the 1:4 DES in a 5 nm
graphite pore, 1:2 ethaline in a 2 nm carbon pore and the 1:8 bulk DES.
Our results indicate that variations in the ratio of ethylene glycol,
which in turn affect the interactions of all DES species with the gas
molecules and the different pore walls, plus confinement effects
resulting from varying the pore sizes, can affect the gas separation
performance of these systems in complex ways.
The revision of Quaternary stratigraphy of the Zrenjanin artesian well borehole profile (Banat, Vojvodina, Serbia)
Authors: Gaudenyi Tivadar , Nenadic Drazenko , Jovanovic Mladjen , Stejic Petar
Published: December 2022

The geological analysis of artesian borehole material from Sombor, Subotica, and Zrenjanin, was in the first campaign of detailed stratigraphic studies of Vojvodina in 1892-1895. The results of Quaternary stratigraphy from Zrenjanin were published by HalaVaTS more than a decade later (1914). The significance of the Zrenjanin, Sombor, and Subotica artesian well profiles for more than a century is considered the representative local profiles for the Quaternary stratigraphy of Vojvodina recognized by Serbian (Yugoslavian) and Hungarian geologists. Significant changes were after the taxonomical revision of molluscan material and its stratigraphic context, which was done through the excellent work of Krolopp in the 1970-ies. Unfortunately, the mentioned changes were not applied in the studies during the geological surveying of former Yugoslavia. The developments in Quaternary geology, changes in the Quaternary chronostratigraphic scale, and the results shown by this paper enable the lower Pleistocene fluvial deposits to be defined as the Pleistocene Corbicula beds, the Viviparus boeckhi Horizon. The lower Pleistocene at Zrenjanin was documented from 234.54 to 58.36 m depth. The interval between 234.54 and 208.50 m comprises the Upper Paludina ? Viviparus vucotinovici zone, while the Viviparus boeckhi Horizons were identified between 135.18 m and 58.36 m. The interval between 58.36 m and 37.75 m is defined as Pleistocene (lower- and Middle Pleistocene) based on sedimentological and the molluscan record. The interval from 37.75 m to 21.67 m depth was identified as Middle Pleistocene, according to its lithology and the paleontological material. The fluvial sediments? 21.69 m and 7.31 m depths cannot be determined according to the faunistic data; we can only consider them as Pleistocene age. The Holocene sediment and soil horizons ascend to a 2.90 m depth.
First record of fossil fish (Enchodontoidei, Actinopterygii) in the Struganik quarry in Western Serbia
Authors: Bradic-Milinovic Katarina , Djuric Dragana , Djeric Nevenka , Petrovic Ivana , Krstekanic Nemanja , Stojadinovic Uros
Published: December 2022

This paper presents the first Upper Cretaceous remains of fish in Serbia, discovered near the village of Struganik. This is also the first described find of Mesozoic fish in Serbia. A stone slab with visible contours of an almost complete fish, with a total body length of about 20 cm, was excavated from the Struganik quarry. Most bones are preserved as imprints. The number of vertebrae, the shape and position of the cranial bones, the type of teeth, and the position of the first dorsal fin all indicate that the studied specimen belongs to the genus Enchodus known from several Upper Cretaceous localities in the Tethys domain.

Published: December 2022

The aim of this work was to establish a temperature of finish rolling stage
of Nb/Ti microalloyed steel containing 0.06 wt.% C, 0.77 wt.% Mn, 0.039 wt.%
Nb and 0.015 wt.% Ti, using physical simulation. Samples were subjected to
laboratory simulation at a twist plastometer at high temperatures, i.e.
between 825 and 950?C. Five pass deformation and interpass times were
selected in accordance with a processing parameters at five stand finishing
hot strip mill. Restoration (recovery and/or recrystallization) behavior was
evaluated by calculation of Fraction Softening (FS) and Area Softening
Parameter (ASP) values. At 950?C all individual pass stress-strain curves,
FS and ASP show full recrystallization in all interpass intervals. On the
other hand, with a decrease in temperature to the interval of 875-825?C,
the extent of restoration is decreasing, leading to recovery as a sole
softening mechanism at 825?C, which was confirmed by the stress-strain
curve shape, and values of FS and ASP. It is assumed that, due to high
supersaturation, strain-induced precipitation promoted pinning of grain and
subgrain boundaries and suppressed recrystallization. Therefore, the
critical temperature for finish rolling was estimated to be 825?C.
Urban chemistry as a new discipline exploring chemical and chemico-biological aspects of urban environment
Authors: Gladkov Evgeny Aleksandrovich , Gladkova Olga
Published: December 2022

Urban sciences can be divided into three directions: Natural, Humanities and
Engineering. Within the fields of urban natural and urban engineering
(technical) sciences, chemical and chemico-biological research take an
important place. We propose using the new term "urban chemistry" (i.e.
chemistry of the urban environment) focusing on the chemical aspects of the
atmosphere, water bodies, and soil of cities. Urban chemistry is
interconnected with urban ecology, toxicology and urban biology, and among
the biological disciplines, it is particularly related to urban botany.
Urban chemistry can be seen as a separate direction of urban natural
sciences, which will significantly contribute to sustainable development of
cities.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the impact of modern glucose-monitoring strategies on glycemic and patient-related outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and recent myocardial infarction (MI) and assess cost effectiveness.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

LIBERATES was a multicenter two-arm randomized trial comparing self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) with intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM), also known as flash CGM, in individuals with T2D and recent MI, treated with insulin and/or a sulphonylurea before hospital admission. The primary outcome measure was time in range (TIR) (glucose 3.9–10 mmol/L/day) on days 76–90 post-randomization. Secondary and exploratory outcomes included time in hypoglycemia, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), clinical outcome, quality of life (QOL), and cost effectiveness.

RESULTS

Of 141 participants randomly assigned (median age 63 years; interquartile range 53, 70), 73% of whom were men, isCGM was associated with increased TIR by 17 min/day (95% credible interval −105 to +153 min/day), with 59% probability of benefit. Users of isCGM showed lower hypoglycemic exposure (<3.9 mmol/L) at days 76–90 (−80 min/day; 95% CI −118, −43), also evident at days 16–30 (−28 min/day; 95% CI −92, 2). Compared with baseline, HbA1c showed similar reductions of 7 mmol/mol at 3 months in both study arms. Combined glycemic emergencies and mortality occurred in four isCGM and seven SMBG study participants. QOL measures marginally favored isCGM, and the intervention proved to be cost effective.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with SMBG, isCGM in T2D individuals with MI marginally increases TIR and significantly reduces hypoglycemic exposure while equally improving HbA1c, explaining its cost effectiveness. Studies are required to understand whether these glycemic differences translate into longer-term clinical benefit.
Associations of Mid- and Late-Life Severe Hypoglycemic Episodes With Incident Dementia Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Authors: Alkabbani Wajd , Maxwell Colleen J. , Marrie Ruth Ann , Tyas Suzanne L. , Lega Iliana C. , Gamble John-Michael
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Severe hypoglycemia is associated with an increased risk of dementia. We examined if the association is consistently present in mid- and late-life hypoglycemia.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using health care data from Population Data BC, we created a base cohort of patients age ≥40 years with incident type 2 diabetes. Exposure was the first occurrence of severe hypoglycemia (hospitalization or physician visit). We assessed exposure versus no exposure in mid- (age 45–64 years) and late-life (age 65–84 years) cohorts. Index date was the later of the 45th birthday (midlife cohort), 65th birthday (late-life cohort), or diabetes diagnosis. Those with hypoglycemia or dementia before the index date were excluded. Patients were followed from index date until dementia diagnosis, death, emigration, or 31 December 2018. Exposure was modeled as time dependent. We adjusted for confounding using propensity score weighting. Dementia risk was estimated using cause-specific hazards models with death as a competing risk.

RESULTS

Of 221,683 patients in the midlife cohort, 1,793 experienced their first severe hypoglycemic event. Over a median of 9.14 years, 3,117 dementia outcomes occurred (32 among exposed). Of 223,940 patients in the late-life cohort, 2,466 experienced their first severe hypoglycemic event. Over a median of 6.7 years, 15,997 dementia outcomes occurred (158 among exposed). The rate of dementia was higher for those with (vs. without) hypoglycemia in both the mid- (hazard ratio 2.85; 95% CI 1.72–4.72) and late-life (2.38; 1.83–3.11) cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS

Both mid- and late-life hypoglycemia were associated with approximately double the risk of dementia, indicating the need for prevention throughout the life course of those with diabetes.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

From 2008 to 2010, we enrolled 15,105 adults, aged 35–74 years, who were employees from six public education and research institutions to assemble the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). We used a food frequency questionnaire to assess UPF consumption (measured in grams per day) at baseline. We then assessed the outcomes of those returning to visits between 2012 and 2014 and between 2017 and 2019. We defined incident MetS by the presence of at least three of the following five abnormalities: high fasting glucose level, high triglyceride level, low HDL cholesterol level, high blood pressure, and abdominal obesity, after excluding those meeting such criteria at baseline. We also excluded those who had missing data or an implausible energy intake, leaving 8,065 participants in the study.

RESULTS

The median age was 49 years, 59% of participants were women, and the median consumption of UPFs was 366 g/day. After 8 years, there were 2,508 new cases of MetS. In robust Poisson regression, adjusting for sociodemographics, behavioral factors, and energy intake, we found a 7% (relative risk [RR] 1.07; 95% CI 1.05–1.08) higher risk of incident MetS for an increase of 150 g/day in UPF consumption. Similarly, those in the fourth quartile (compared with the first quartile) had a 33% increased risk (RR 1.33; 95% CI 1.20–1.47). Further adjustment for BMI attenuated these associations (for 150 g/day increases in UPF consumption and for the fourth quartile compared to the first one, respectively, RR = 1.04, 95% CI 1.02–1.06; RR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.07–1.32).

CONCLUSIONS

Greater consumption of UPFs is associated with an increased risk of MetS. These findings have important implications for diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevention and management.
Urine Leucine-Rich α-2 Glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) Predicts the Risk of Progression to End-Stage Kidney Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) was recently identified as an amplifier of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)–induced kidney fibrosis in animal models. We aimed to study whether urine LRG1 is associated with risk of progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A total of 1,837 participants with type 2 diabetes and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >30 mL/min/1.73 m2 were recruited from a regional hospital and a primary care facility. Association of urine LRG1 with risk of ESKD (progression to sustained eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2, dialysis, or death resulting from renal causes) was assessed by survival analyses.

RESULTS

During a median follow-up of 8.6 (interquartile range 5.8–9.6) years, 134 incident ESKD events were identified. Compared with those in the lowest tertile, participants with baseline urine LRG1 in the highest tertile had a 1.91-fold (95% CI 1.04–3.50) increased risk of progression to ESKD, after adjustment for cardiorenal risk factors, including eGFR and albuminuria. As a continuous variable, 1 SD increment in urine LRG1 was associated with a 1.53-fold (95% CI 1.19–1.98) adjusted risk of ESKD. Of note, the association of urine LRG1 with ESKD was independent of plasma LRG1. Moreover, urine LRG1 was associated with rapid kidney function decline and progression to macroalbuminuria, two common pathways leading to ESKD.

CONCLUSIONS

Urine LRG1, a TGF-β signaling modulator, predicts risk of progression to ESKD independently of clinical risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting that it may be a novel factor involved in the pathophysiological pathway leading to kidney disease progression.

A self-evaluation tool for services has been developed to support the Policy for Open Scholarship, which takes into account the recommendations of all previous national policies on open science. The purpose of the tool is to assist research organisations in the self-evaluation and development of services and making them available. The organisation may produce the services alone, in cooperation with other organisations or utilise services at the national and international level. Measures promoting the openness of evaluation, learning, research data and publishing, which are also included in the Policy for Open Scholarship currently being prepared, are made concrete with minimum and ideal criteria. These criteria facilitate different target levels for different types of research organisations at different starting levels. The measures and criteria of the self-evaluation tool are also used in the national monitoring model for open science. The tool is intended for the self-assessment of organisations and the development of services, while the monitoring model makes it possible to assess the maturity level of the entire open science field.

A DC motor speed control system with Arduino-based PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technique has been realized for centrifugation applications. Tool design consists of hardware and software. The hardware used is Arduino Uno, brushless DC motor, ESC (electronic speed control), optocoupler, 4x4 keypad, and seven-segment, and the software used is Arduino IDE. The working principle of this tool is that Arduino will process input from the keypad and provide a signal to the ESC (electronic speed control) to drive a brushless DC motor. The optocoupler sensor will detect motor rotation, and the data obtained will be displayed on the seven segments. This tool works with a speed range of 4,000 to 7,000 RPM. Rotational speed testing has been carried out using the DT-2234C+ tachometer. The test results show the highest error occurs at a speed of 5,000 RPM which is 3.62% and the lowest error occurs at a speed of 6,000 RPM at 1.01%.
