Authors: Ferreira Emanuelle Geórgia Amaral , ´´Ávila Araújo Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo é um recorte das reflexões suscitadas pela tese intitulada "A Nova Biblioteconomia de Lankes no contexto brasileiro" e tem por finalidade apresentar algumas perspectivas contemporâneas que tem transformado a maneira como teorizamos e praticamos a Biblioteconomia contemporânea. Configura-se como uma pesquisa de cunho exploratório e qualitativo e utiliza a identificação de textos sobre a Biblioteconomia contemporânea na base de dados BRAPCI para a constituição do presente texto. Assinalamos que a Biblioteconomia vem passando por constantes transformações em conformidade com a evolução social e tecnológica. Assim, podemos delinear três momentos que marcam as transformações da área: 1) de início, numa perspectiva que pode ser denominada como tradicional, marcada pelo viés tecnicista, pelo acúmulo de grandes coleções e pelo edifício; 2) num segundo momento, temos uma Biblioteconomia voltada ao acesso, disponibilização e compartilhamento da informação; e, 3) o terceiro momento, marca a contemporaneidade, que privilegia a utilização do espaço da biblioteca para além do suporte informacional, buscando uma atuação mais participativa, colaborativa e voltada à aprendizagem e a construção do conhecimento pelas comunidades. As bibliotecas no cenário atual mais do que nunca devem ocupar o seu lugar secular de promotoras da aprendizagem e da construção coletiva do conhecimento.

A Biblioteca Professor Mello Cançado (BPMC) desempenha um papel fundamental na preservação da memória da Faculdade de Pará de Minas (FAPAM) e na disseminação do conhecimento. Desde sua cessão pela Prefeitura de Pará de Minas à FAPAM em 1970, a BPMC tem sido essencial no apoio aos alunos e na conservação do acervo da faculdade. Em 1974, para atender à crescente demanda por acesso ao conhecimento, a Câmara Municipal de Pará de Minas autorizou a criação de um Departamento da Biblioteca no prédio da Faculdade de Ciências Humanas da Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais. Essa medida foi formalizada pela lei nº 1501, que permitiu o remanejamento de livros para o novo departamento, enfatizando obras úteis para consulta por estudantes de cursos superiores. Dois anos depois, em 1976, o Departamento foi oficialmente transformado na Biblioteca Professor Mello Cançado, consolidando seu status como uma entidade reconhecida e regulamentada. Ao longo dos anos, a BPMC tem se dedicado não apenas a fornecer acesso à informação, mas também a apoiar a produção científica dos pesquisadores da FAPAM e a promover a democratização do conhecimento nas áreas dos cursos oferecidos pela instituição. Sua evolução reflete o compromisso contínuo da FAPAM e das autoridades locais com a melhoria dos recursos educacionais disponíveis para os alunos.

Middle to Late Jurassic pelagites and gravity mass flow deposits of a displaced Neotethyan margin: Microfacies and biostratigraphical studies in Northeast Hungary
Authors: Haas János , Fodor László , Djeric Nevenka , Szives Ottilia , Ozsvárt Péter , Fialowski Melinda , Kövér Szilvia
Published: November 2024

Microfacies, depositional age and sedimentary environment were characterised for two Jurassic successions, which were deposited on the Adriatic microcontinental margin of the Neotethys Ocean. Investigations were carried out mostly on cores drilled in the Mesozoic basement of the eastern part of the M?tra Mountains (Recsk area) and the westernmost part of the B?kk Mountains, NE Hungary. This area represents the continuation of the Inner Dinaric nappesystem, and was displaced along the Mid?Hungarian Shear Zone during the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene. The pre?Cenozoic basement of the area is characterised by three juxtaposed units: the lowermost Recsk Succession, the Tarna Olistostrome and the topmost Darn?hegy M?lange nappe. The Recsk Succession is made up of Upper Triassic, cherty carbonates of pelagic basin development that are overlain by pelagic limestones of Early to early Middle Jurassic age. The carbonate sedimentation changed gradually into shale?domi nated one during the late Bathonian to the early Callovian. In the Bajocian to early Callovian interval the Recsk area was located at the toe of a coeval carbo nate platform, which provided gravitational mass flows reaching the investigated area. The external margin of this platform drowned and got covered by the pelagic shale in the late Bajocian. The Tarna Olistostrome is built up by a Tithonian pelagic mixed carbonatic and siliciclastic succession with breccia/olistostrome horizons. The clasts derived from the Upper Permian? Lower Jurassic succession of a distal Adriatic margin. The Darn?hegy M?lange is a typical sub?ophiolitic m?lange comprising scrapped off blocks and slices from the lower plate and gravitationally redeposited / tectonically sheared blocks from the overriding ophiolite nappe. The age of the m?lange is Callovian?Oxfordian. These inferences may serve as a base for new geodynamic evaluations of the studied region.

Published: November 2024

For the mass use of genotyping by sequencing in sheep of the Russian Meat
Merino breed, it is necessary to determine the loci of the genome with a
sufficient frequency of occurrence in the population. To identify them,
genotyping of Russian Meat Merino sheep was carried out using Ovine Infinium
HD BeadChip 600K. As a result of polymorphism evaluation of 606,000 loci,
555 SNPs were selected with a frequency of occurrence of both homozygous
variants in the range of 0.2850-0.3149. After excluding substitutions
located closer than 1cM, a list of 387 polymorphisms was obtained. The
selected substitutions were located on all 26 autosomes. The greatest number
of polymorphisms were on the 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 22 chromosomes. The least
substitutions were found on chromosomes 4, 8, 11 and 19. Only one
substitution with the required frequency of occurrence was identified on the
X chromosome. The average distance between SNPs was 4,000 to 7,000 kbp. The
list of polymorphisms we have chosen can be used to confirm the reliability
of the origin in the molecular genetic examination of sheep of the Russian
Meat Merino breed.
Diabetes Associated With Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD): From Pathogenic Variant to Phenotype
Authors: Chanoine Jean-Pierre , Thompson David M. , Lehman Anna
Published: November 2024

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a monogenic mitochondrial disorder caused by a pathogenic variant in the MT-TL1 gene encoding a leucine transfer RNA. We propose a new hypothesis that explains how the MT-TL1 variant causes impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes in MIDD. We suggest that diabetes in MIDD primarily depends on a variable combination of insulin resistance and impaired β-cell function that seems more likely to occur in the presence of high skeletal muscle heteroplasmy and moderate β-cell heteroplasmy for m.3243A>G. The underlying genetic defect generates oxidative stress and disrupts the tricarboxylic acid cycle, leading to mTORC1 hyperactivity and modifying mitochondrial retrograde signaling. mTORC1 hyperactivity contributes to insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction and to an increased load of the m.3243A>G phenotypic variant. Abnormal mitochondrial signaling affects the nuclear epigenome and influences MIDD phenotype. We highlight evidence that, despite being an apparent pathogenic factor, heteroplasmy in the blood and in tissues does not fully explain the phenotypic variability of this condition and that other factors, including mtDNA copy number, additional nuclear or mitochondrial variants, environmental factors, and metabolic characteristics of the patient, may contribute. A better understanding of the mechanisms leading to MIDD will help inform novel management strategies for this form of diabetes.

Article Highlights

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a mitochondrial disorder characterized primarily by hearing impairment and diabetes. m.3243A>G, the most common phenotypic variant, causes a complex rewiring of the cell with discontinuous remodeling of both mitochondrial and nuclear genome expressions. We propose that MIDD depends on a combination of insulin resistance and impaired β-cell function that occurs in the presence of high skeletal muscle heteroplasmy (approximately ≥60%) and more moderate cell heteroplasmy (∼25%–72%) for m.3243A>G. Understanding the complex mechanisms of MIDD is necessary to develop disease-specific management guidelines that are presently lacking.
Low Velocity Bird-Like Impact Behavior on Honeycomb Composite Structure
Authors: Öztürk Okan , Elaldı Faruk
Published: November 2024

Composite materials are widely used in primary aerospace structures such as wing components and fuselage panels; however, their major disadvantage is their vulnerability to transverse impact loads that can lead to internal delamination and fibre/matrix separation.

In this study, the effect of a low-velocity impact which simulates bird impact on a honeycomb sandwich composite plates produced by a co-curing technique for a typical unmanned air vehicle (UAV) was studied both experimentally and numerically. The surface plates of the composite samples were produced from carbon fibre/epoxy prepreg material. Nomex honeycomb core material was used to make the composite sandwich structure via an autoclave process. For the bird-like impact test, the tip of the impactor was coated with thick, tough rubber to simulate a bird strike; the diameter of the impactor was 25 mm to ensure similarity with a bird called Pica nuttalli (magpie), which has a mass of 155 g and is the closest bird body to the simulations. Three different predetermined impact scenarios with kinetic energy 380 Joule, 276 Joule, and 224 Joule were applied to the samples with rubber impactors of similar density, to simulate bird impact events with different impact directions.

The impact behaviour was characterised by velocity-time, force-time, and displacement-time graphs. Different levels of damage were observed in the composite samples, but none of the sandwich test samples were perforated, and it could therefore be concluded that the unmanned air vehicle could land without risk to flight safety. This low-velocity bird-like impact was also modelled and analysed using a numerical program to verify the results, and it was concluded that the verified model could also be used for the preliminary design verification of dynamic bird-impact tests within the 10% sensitivity range.
Influence of intensity distributions on the process dynamics during laser deep penetration welding of pure nickel with a flexible ring mode laser source
Authors: Möbus Marcel , Pordzik Ronald , Seefeld Thomas
Published: November 2024

Current research results demonstrate the potential of spatter reduction in laser deep penetration welding by using adapted laser beam intensity distributions between a ring and a core intensity. The spatter-reducing effect, resulting from the additional ring intensity, is often attributed to an enlarged keyhole opening. However, it remains a matter of debate how exactly an additional ring intensity influences the process. This study, therefore, investigates the effect of an increasing ring intensity on process dynamics and the spatter formation regime. Laser beam welding experiments were carried out on 2.4068 nickel hidden T-joints at different welding speeds of up to 16 m/min, as well as different intensity distributions, while maintaining a constant weld depth. The tests were evaluated by using two high-speed cameras from different angles to analyze spatter and their formation mechanisms as well as the keyhole opening. Metallographic analyses and x-ray images were used to determine influences on the seam shape and porosity. It was shown that a change in intensity distribution has a significant influence on the melt flow, the resulting amount of spatter, and the porosity, which is comparable across the investigated welding speeds. While a core-based power distribution leads to spatter formation on the rear of the keyhole opening, it was shown that a ring-based power distribution leads to spatter formation on both sides of the keyhole. With an optimal power distribution, spatter formation could be largely prevented. Based on these findings, the single wave regime, a stabilized regime, and a lateral spatter regime were identified.

Published: November 2024

We discuss the direct fabrication of embedded, graphitized features within high-purity, synthetic single-crystal diamond through ultrafast laser micromachining for the purpose of developing diamond-based capacitive structures. As an incorporating substrate, carbon in the form of highly pure synthetic diamond offers numerous advantageous physicochemical properties, including hardness, durability, optical transparency, and extremely high electrical resistance. On the other hand, graphitic carbon can exhibit exceptionally low electrical resistance. A simple sandwich structure of a thin sheet of diamond between two sheets of graphite could, therefore, form a simple plate-type capacitive structure. For a single structure consisting of 1 μm thick plates with areal dimensions of 5 × 1 mm2 and 1 μm gaps between plates, we estimate a capacitance of 240 pF, with a 3 kV/μm breakdown voltage in diamond. ∼2500 plates thus fabricated in a ∼5 × 5 × 1 mm3 diamond chip could, therefore, store ∼300 mJ of energy. To realize this kind of structure, we employ ultrafast laser micromachining with high numerical aperture focusing and precise positioning control to disrupt the crystalline matrix of a well-confined volume within single-crystal synthetic diamond, forming embedded graphitic features. Graphitized plate regions 1 μm thick with 1 μm separations can be fabricated in this manner, and empirical I–V measurements indicate resistances in the plates as low as ∼kΩ. We also address challenges involved with fabricating closely parallel, embedded graphitic plates in thick diamond substrates, including aberration, machining time, and cracking.

Authors: OS Job , JD Bala , AN Abubakar , A Mustapha , OM Innocent , NN Friday
Published: November 2024

Evaluation of water quality is critical for assuring the safety of drinking water, especially with the increasing incidence of microbiological pollutants. Traditional microbial detection and control methods, while successful, are time-consuming and may lack the sensitivity needed to detect infections at low concentrations. Nanotechnology has emerged as a significant tool in this field, providing novel approaches to quick pathogen identification and efficient disinfection. This review provides an overview of the latest developments in nanotechnology for assessing water quality, with a focus on nanosensors and nanomaterials. Nanosensors, such as gold nanoparticles, quantum dots, and magnetic nanoparticles, detect pathogens with great sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, nanoparticle-based disinfection systems that use materials such as silver, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles have shown high antibacterial activity. Nanocomposite membranes loaded with nanoparticles improve water filtration by both eliminating and inactivating microorganisms. Despite the potential of these technologies, issues including cost, scalability, and environmental safety must be addressed. This review indicates that nanotechnology has the potential to transform water quality monitoring and treatment by making it more efficient and accessible, especially in areas where clean water is rare.

Published: November 2024

Leptospirosis is a neglected tropical zoonotic disease of public health importance causing significant mortalities among animals and humans. Due to negligence, rapid, unplanned urbanization, and poor sanitation, leptospirosis emerges as a leading cause of acute febrile illness in many developing countries. Yet, an understanding of the epidemiology of leptospirosis in animals remains a knot to untie hence more scientific evidence is required on the disease epidemiology. The literature search was conducted to select and compile peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and international organization proceedings on the epidemiology, control, and impacts of leptospirosis. In the majority of the cases reported, the infections are asymptomatic. Although recreational exposure is also known to occur, occupational exposure to rodents and other animals is the primary method of transmission. Those who are at risk include healthcare professionals, animal handlers, farmers and agricultural workers, sanitary workers, fishermen, hunters, and sewage workers. The clinical signs range from flu to acute kidney injury/failure, icterus, pneumonia, and pulmonary haemorrhage with many rare clinical manifestations being reported and documented worldwide. Leptospirosis poses a significant threat to both animal and human health globally. The intricate interplay between transmission dynamics, reservoir hosts, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and preventive strategies highlights the complexity of this zoonotic disease.

A Rússia na agenda da Administração Biden
Authors: Freire Maria Raquel
Published: November 2024

The international context in which the relationship between the United States and the Russian Federation has evolved has been marked by dissension and withdrawal, especially so since the war in Ukraine in 2014. The role of the osce has been hampered as far as its capacity for decision-making and acting is concerned. The eu has also been the cause of discontent in Russia, and nato has been described by Russia as a threat to Russian security. As such, the Biden Administration takes office in a very difficult moment, even though the stance of former president Donald Trump was erratic and ambivalent regarding Moscow’s actions.

Do We Need A Quality Assessment for Note-Taking Technologies in Technology-Assisted Interpreting? A Descriptive Study
Authors: Nugrahani Dyah - , Purnomo SF Luthfie Arguby
Published: November 2024

Technology-assisted interpreting (TAI) signifies a binary concern encompassing not only the interpreting process but also the technology used. One of the technologies playing crucial roles in signifying the quality of interpreting is note-taking technology. Thereby we argue that note-taking technologies used in TAI require a specific quality assessment since they influence the process and result of interpreting. We propose a conceptual framework for a quality assessment specifically designed for note-taking technologies used in TAI by taking Aarseth’s textonomy theory (1997), Costa, Pastor, and Muňes’s technology aid based interpreting classification theory (2014), O’Brien and Toms’s user engagement theory (2008), Venkatesh and Davis’s technology acceptance model (2000), and Friedman’s immersion theory (2014). We propose that the note-taking technology quality assessment has to address three primary considerations. They are functional parameters, user’s function considerations, and  interpreting types. Functional parameters, which assess the interaction between users and note-taking technologies, consist of engagement, acceptance, and immersion. User’s functions, comprising of interpretive, explorative, and configurative functions, assist the assessors in comprehending the characteristics of particular note-taking technologies. Interpreting types, classified based on the technology dominantly used in the interpreting process, helps the assessors indicate which technology fits what interpreting types.

Authors: Zulfadhli Zulfadhli , WS Hasanuddin , Ramadhan Syahrul
Published: November 2024

As a popular novel genre, Indonesian metro pop novels are claimed to represent a cultural phenomenon of urban communities who live and settle in big cities. This cultural phenomenon is closely related to the behavior and lifestyle of the urban community. The study of urbanism is assumed to attempt to understand the patterns, attitudes, and lifestyles of urban people reflected in various aspects and activities of life. The results of this study indicate that people who live in metropolitan cities and urban communities featured in Indonesian metro pop novels are described as people who have a luxurious lifestyle, hedonic, instant, consumptive, well-established profession, and have a pragmatic approach. In addition, the lifestyle of the urban community in the metro pop novel is also reflected in the model of clothing (fashion) used, the food and beverages consumed, the language used, ways of communicating, use of various devices, forms of art and entertainment, and habit of social media.
How to Influence Others? Synthetic Personalization and Social Semiotic Analysis of Genders
Authors: Firdausi Annisa Nurul , Andriyanti Erna , Ashadi Ashadi
Published: November 2024

Within the last 20 years, TED has become an influential platform that provides knowledge and education by directing speakers on giving motivational speeches. This paper aims to analyze gender attitudes while delivering the speech and how they influence the audience. This study applied a descriptive qualitative method by using Synthetic Personalization by Fairclough (2001) and a Social-semiotic approach by Van Leeuwen (2008) to the selected TED videos to analyze the data and corpus linguistics, namely AntConc, as the tool to analyze the vocabularies, first-person and second-person concordances presented. The findings show 1.101 vocabularies used by men and 1.156 vocabularies that denote synthetic personalization used by women. Although the strategies they used are different, men’s and women’s speeches have successfully influenced the audience by immersing synthetic personalization to bring intimate, engagement, and personal relationships towards the mass audience by bringing up the feeling of ‘similarity’. The social-semiotic covers social distance and social interaction between men and women toward the audiences. Women are more socially considerate while men are more direct in their speech. The distance and interactions are subjected as a form of representation of closeness.
Feeling the Pain Down Memory Lane: On-going Trauma in Octavia E. Buttler’s Kindred
Authors: Rarastesa Zita
Published: November 2024

This paper attempts to discuss the ongoing Trauma of slavery as the collective Trauma for African American people in the US. It not only investigates the memory of Trauma experienced by the main character, Dana, in the novel Kindred but also describes how the author recalls the memory of the traumatic event and expresses it in the novel through a series of events the main character encountered. Although the traumatic event itself has long gone in the past, the memory of it still haunts the African American people through what Dana is going through. The narrative technique Butler uses in the novel is intriguing that she tells the story as some time machine where the main character can go back and forth from the setting of time, the 1970s, to the 19th-century slavery era. Furthermore, Dana experienced a physical injury that was incomprehensible for people in the 1970s to see as a result of the event that happened in the 19th-century slavery era. This can be seen as a reflection of the way African American people feel about slavery and the aftermath of it in the present. The traumatic event has passed, but the pain stays the same because ongoing racism against African American people remains.
The Representation of Liberal Feminism in the Picture Book Mary Wears What She Wants by Keith Negley
Authors: Malau Theophanie Clarissa , Kusumayanti Dina Dyah , Supiastutik Supiastutik
Published: November 2024

This research aims to show that women can dominate the story as seen in Negley’s picture book (2019) Mary Wears What She Wants. The theory used in this research is the theory of representation by Stuart Hall (1997). Besides, Barthes’ semiotic  theory (1957, 1968) is utilized to reveal the meaning of verbal and visual data in Negley’s picture book. This research is qualitative in its nature in which the data are the verbal as well as the visual texts of the picture book under study.  The finding of this research shows that the picture book under scrutiny represents inequality of gender rather than equality which highlight the inequality of women and men in the Victorian society. Another finding reveals that liberal feminism is represented through the main character, Mary. Mary dares to take risks to choose and decide the best for women, as she thinks that women have the rights to do anything they want without hesitation and with no limitation. This research also reveals that Mary uses her power to voice and to make changes impacting to women in her time. Because of her strive and determination, to date women have the bravery and power to do anything they want.

One of Indonesia’s main characteristics of tourism development is maritime tourism, which is synonymous with archipelagic countries. The diversity of maritime tourism offered by Indonesia will never end, so it needs to be considered more carefully and used relevantly to create sustainable tourism in Indonesia that provides broad benefits for the country. Many maritime tourism locations in Indonesia are beautiful but require more active promotion. The level of security and terrorism issues are a requirement that the government must consider. The novelty of this research describes the potential ecotourism development in the town of Makassar that stakeholders should consider in the formation of tourism policy. The research locations are in Makassar City, Samalona Island, Langkai Island, and Lanjukang Island. Ecotourism developed in the coastal areas of Makassar City, especially in Samalona, Lanjukang, and Langkai Islands, produces superior objects that collaborate elements of nature and society as the main attraction in the long term. Therefore, local governments need to strengthen monitoring of regional geopolitical developments in order to avoid security and terrorism problems that might cause inconvenience to tourists.
Relationships between springs yield dynamics and hydrological drought development
Authors: Tomaszewski Edmund , Kozek-Połomska Malwina
Published: November 2024

This paper presents results of the identification and assessment of relationships between river discharge dynamics and spring yield during severe hydrological drought. The study covered a weekly yield series of eight springs and the daily discharge series of river gauging stations closing catchments including these springs. The investigated area was located in the mountainous, upper reaches of the Dunajec River basin (southern Poland) and the study covered the period 1989–2018. It was assumed that river low-flow is a good indicator of hydrological drought development. Severe streamflow droughts were estimated on the basis of the threshold level method (TLM) at a truncation level of 95% on the flow duration curve (FDC). Spring yield droughts were identified in the same way, however, there were three variants of truncation criteria. Synchronicity between both types of droughts was assessed on the basis of a co- occurrence ratio. To achieve the best fit criteria analysis, time shift steps of the spring yield series in relation to the river discharge series were conducted both for individual springs and for the whole investigated group. The best results of drought co-occurrence were achieved for the spring threshold at a multiannual average yield value, especially in backward and zero time shifts for fissure springs placed in relatively small catchments. Analysis of the course of relative spring drought intensity in following time shifts allowed an indication of the typical behaviours of the aquifer spring regime in relation to hydrological drought development.

Rabies is a fatal encephalitic disease affecting all mammals. This report describes identification of raccoon rabies virus variant isolated from a stray kitten in an urban Midwestern city that is nonendemic for this virus variant. The kitten originally presented with nonspecific neurologic abnormalities. Astute veterinary, wildlife, and public health professionals played a critical role in the identification of this fatal zoonotic disease and the extensive public health and wildlife management response that ensued. This case serves as an important reminder of the risk of rabies in unvaccinated animals or those without known vaccination status, including stray animals.

Published: November 2024

Motivation plays a crucial role in the student learning process, especially in the context of learning English. Students' success in acquiring language skills is directly influenced by their level of motivation. Low learning motivation can result from monotonous learning techniques that are less effective in stimulating students' enthusiasm for learning, negatively impacting their academic achievement. This research focuses on increasing student learning motivation and outcomes using QuizWhizzer as a gamification tool. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the gamification of learning activities with QuizWhizzer influences students' motivation and learning outcomes in English classes. Using a pretest-posttest design with one group, this research is classified as pre-experimental. High school students from SMKN 15 Samarinda were selected as research subjects using purposive sampling. Questionnaires and tests were employed to collect data on learning motivation and outcomes. The QuizWhizzer program was integrated into learning activities after the pre-test, followed by a post-test and a questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase in both motivation and learning outcomes. The average pretest score increased from 48.12 to 79.62 in the post-test, with an N-Gain of 0.61 classified as medium. The students' learning motivation was also categorized as very high, with an average score of 85.23%. This study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of gamified learning activities in enhancing students' motivation and academic performance in English.

The islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan are some of the famous tourist destinations in Bali. The growth of tourism in the area has increased the demand for electrical energy. PLN is committed to improving infrastructure by building a solar power plant and BESS in Nusa Penida. This research aims to analyze the impact of implementing PLTS and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) on the frequency of the electricity system in Nusa Penida. This research uses a simulation with two scenarios in three different conditions. Scenario 1 is simulated by releasing the Cogindo generating unit from the Nusa Penida electricity system with three conditions, namely an electricity system without PLTS and BESS, an electricity system with PLTS, and an electricity system with PLTS and BESS. Scenario 2 is simulated by removing the Ceningan feeder from the Nusa Penida electricity system with the same three conditions. Simulations were carried out to determine the effect of PLTS and BESS on frequency changes. The simulation results show that frequency changes are still within the limits regulated by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 20 of 2020.
