Authors: Zahratun  , Isa Muhammad , Sugiyanto Didik
Published: September 2024

The Lam Teuba Formation is one of the local fault areas of the Seulimuem segment located in the Grand Mosque sub-district of Aceh Besar regency. The Lam Teuba Formation has several types of rocks such as basaltic andesite lava, pyrolastic flows, pyroclastic falls, and sedimentary rocks, namely claystone, limestone sandstone, agglomerate, limestone. Rocks have physical characteristics, namely density and porosity which have different values in each rock. This difference can be caused by the minerals contained in the rock. The method used to calculate the density and porosity values used the Archimedes method, and the identification of mineral types using the infrared spectroscopy method. The results of data processing obtained the highest original density value at location 1 sample 1 with a value of 3.42 and the lowest value at location 5 sample 2. The highest dry density value was in location 1 of sample 1 with a value of 3.33 and the lowest value was in location 5 of sample 2. The highest saturation density value was in location 1 of sample 1 with a value of 3.43, the lowest value was in location 5 of sample 2 with a value of 2.07. The average porosity value was the highest with a value of 5.41 in the poor quality category in sample 4, while the lowest value was 4.62 in the very bad category in sample 1. The types of minerals found in the Lam Teuba formation are illite, montmorillonite, kaolinite minerals with a mixture of smectite which is a clay mineral group and siderite minerals which are carbonate mineral groups.

Authors: Fadillah Rakhmad , Tjahjono Boedi , Dwiyanti Fifi Gus
Published: September 2024

Sumedang Regency has a hilly landscape, making it one of the 13 cities/regencies in West Java Province that are prone to landslides. A total of 80 landslide incidents were recorded from 2019 to 2023. These landslides resulted in 45 fatalities, 53 injuries, and damage to 317 infrastructure units. This situation indicates the importance of conducting an analysis of landslide hazard distribution. The landslide hazard distribution analysis is carried out using a weighting and scoring method on the parameters used, which include: slope gradient, rainfall, actual land cover, landform, lithology, and soil type. Based on these parameters, four landslide hazard classes were identified in Sumedang Regency: low, medium, high, and very high hazard classes. Proportions of these hazard are as follows: high hazard class (42.24%), medium hazard class (40.38%), low hazard class (13.90%), and very high hazard class (3.49%). The low hazard class is mainly found in the northern part of Sumedang Regency, the medium hazard class is widespread in sloping areas, and the high to very high hazard classes are primarily found in the Tampomas mountains and areas with hilly landforms. Slope gradient and rainfall are the factors that most influence landslide hazards, making it necessary to design appropriate mitigation.

Authors: Bidjaksono Muhammad Brilliant , Sodri Ahyahudin , Chalid Dony Abdul
Published: September 2024

Biomass utilization is believed to bring environmental and socio-economic benefits—PT X coal in a steam boiler. The research method used is a mix of quantitative and qualitative. The concentration of particulates that coal produces is higher than that of sugar cane bagasse. The NOx parameter values produced by bagasse and coal showed insignificant results. Meanwhile, coal boilers with higher temperatures produced higher NOx than NOx from biomass. The distribution concentration of SOx in bagasse biomass is higher than coal SOx emissions. A total of 26 communities agreed to change the use of coal to bagasse biomass. Utilization of bagasse biomass provides income of up to 94,000,000,000. Using bagasse as steam boiler fuel has a more positive impact than coal.

Published: September 2024

Science is a combination of Natural Sciences (IPA) and Social Sciences (IPS) which is now a new subject in the Independent Curriculum. Science and Technology began to be taught in elementary schools to develop students' basic abilities in natural sciences and social sciences. In science and science subjects, teachers are still monotonous or too often rely on student books and teacher books. As we know, elementary school students are still children, so if the teacher is always monotonous teaching will be boring. This research aims to determine the effect of the Facilitator and Explain learning model on the science learning outcomes of class IV students at SDN Cibiru 6 KCKB. This type of research is experimental research. The sampling technique uses Purposive Sampling. The instrument in this research is a test of student learning outcomes, while the data analysis technique uses the t-test. Based on the results of the research, the average value of the experimental class was 83.00 and 73.40 in the control class. It can be seen from the results of the data analysis that has been carried out that t count (3.29) > t table (1.68), so the hypothesis is accepted. From the research results it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Facilitator and Explaining model on students' science learning outcomes. For this reason, it is recommended that teachers who teach science subjects apply the Facilitator and Explaining model in the learning process.

Authors: Rakhmawati Adiyatma , Wijaya Atika
Published: September 2024

Community participation is essential in developing tourism villages because the potential of social and cultural diversity resources in the community is the primary driving force behind the activities in the tourism village. This research aims to analyze the stages and obstacles of community participation in the development of Warloka Pesisir Tourism Village. This research uses qualitative research with descriptive research type. Data were gathered using observation, interviews, focus group discussion impacts (FGDs), and documentation. The concept used to analyze the data is the concept of participation from Cohen and Uphoff. The results showed that based on the four types of participation, the Warloka Pesisir community has not yet reached an optimal level of participation in developing a tourism village. Participation in decision-making and benefit-taking shows that the community is passive in decision-making and tends only to follow the final decision. This has an impact on the community's lack of maximum benefits from the development of tourist villages. Some existing obstacles hinder participation and tourism development, so more attention must be paid to supporting community participation by updating infrastructure and developing skills with empowerment.

Energy and environment are closely related and important issues in the present all over world. Present industrial and others organization thought the unique of energy utilization and diverse source reviles such as coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydropower, solar, wind and biofuel. The Non-renewable energy sources are being limited in this world and energy conservation is one of growing need nowadays. The major issues in the world’s energy consumption are getting used in boilers. Thus, this energy used has to be wisely consumed with great efficiency in industries. Boilers are considered as an important and an expensive property in many industries. In addition to initial cost, boilers have high operational and maintenance cost in order to secure production in safe and acceptable working conditions. In this study concerned with an energy saving, economic and environmental analysis of the fire tube boiler in ASMARA BREWERY. In this project, we concentrated on the improvement of boiler efficiency by recovering a portion of heat content of the flue gas. This is possible due to the most dominant device which is the economizer. The preexisting boiler was designed without an economizer. The present modification involved about the design of economizer in the boiler to reduce fuel consumption and thermal shock. Furthermore, in this type of boiler attain higher efficiency and little enhancement in the efficiency of the boiler will save an outsized amount of fuel and also help to reduce CO2 emission.

Published: September 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical framework for evaluating the effectiveness of green infrastructure in urban stormwater management. Sustainable stormwater management practices are essential as cities face increasing challenges from climate change; population growth; and urbanization. Green infrastructure; which includes solutions like green roofs; permeable pavements; and bioswales; offers significant environmental; economic; and social benefits. However; existing evaluation methods often fail to account for the full range of these benefits; particularly in diverse urban settings. The proposed framework integrates environmental; economic; and social dimensions to provide a holistic assessment of green infrastructure projects. By incorporating criteria such as runoff reduction; cost efficiency; social equity; and community engagement; the framework supports more informed decision-making for urban planners and policymakers. The adaptability of this framework to different urban environments; from densely populated cities to suburban areas and varied climatic regions; ensures its broad applicability. The paper also highlights the need for future research to empirically validate the framework's components and refine its metrics to enhance its utility for sustainable urban development.

Published: September 2024

Okra is currently a highly profitable crop for the farming community because of its high consumption potential across rural and urban areas. Thus, it is important to evaluate the yield of various morphotypes of the three species grown in Benin. Assessing the production yield will enable efficient selection of the best morphotypes for the benefit of the population. A total of 53 morphotypes, characterized from okra species cultivated in Benin, were sown in a field at the University of Abomey-Calavi. For each morphotype, 5 plants were selected, and data were collected from germination until the fruits reached total senescence. Among the three species of okra cultivated in Benin, A. moschatus has the longest vegetative phase (68 ± 3 days). The average flowering time ranges from 51 days in A. caillei to 71 days in A. moschatus. The longest average fruiting time was also observed in A. moschatus (48 days). The analysis of variance showed that the duration of fruit set varied significantly among the species (p = 0.003). In terms of production yield, A. esculentus is the most productive species, yielding 10.50 tonnes of fruit per hectare. It is followed by A. moschatus and A. caillei, which yield 5.9 tonnes and 5 tonnes of fruit per hectare, respectively. Morphotype M25 of A. esculentus is the most profitable among the 53 morphotypes of the three species, producing 520.23 grams per stem, or 20.8 tonnes of fruit per hectare. Through this study, an annual sowing calendar was developed, enabling producers to plan okra cultivation for the entire year.

Published: September 2024

Objectives: To analyze cases of spinal deviations in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) department at Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech, with a focus on the role of rehabilitation in their management. Methods and Patients: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational descriptive study over a six-month period involving 52 patients with spinal deviations, treated in the PMR department. Data were meticulously collected using a questionnaire completed during consultations with patients selected according to specific criteria. Results: The study revealed that the average age of the patients was 21.25 years, with a predominance of females (68%). Among the spinal deviations, scoliosis was the most common (68%), followed by scoliotic posture (18%), hyperkyphosis (11%), and compensatory lumbar hyperlordosis (3%). The primary reason for consultation was aesthetic concern (56%), with the most frequent symptoms being gibbus deformity (54%) and shoulder asymmetry (35%). Rehabilitation was prescribed for all patients, sometimes as the sole treatment or in combination with bracing. Orthoses were used to correct foot deformities and leg length discrepancies. Only one patient underwent surgical intervention. The outcome was positive for 63% of patients, with improvement in the Cobb angle and pain reduction. However, a 5° worsening was observed in one patient (2% of the sample), while the others remained stable. Conclusion: In conclusion, the therapeutic approaches employed in our sample demonstrated their effectiveness in managing spinal deviations. Rehabilitation proved to be particularly essential as an adjunct treatment, enhancing the outcomes of other therapies and contributing to the relief of back pain, which had a positive impact on patients' quality of life.

Published: September 2024

This study focuses on the compilation of bathymetric data for the Bay of Bengal domain, specifically for the area between 15°N to 23°N latitudes and 85°E to 95°E longitudes, to ensure compatibility with the Finite Element Method (FEM). A high-resolution color map of the region was generated using ArcGIS software, which served as the basis for discretizing the domain into a triangular mesh. Bathymetric data for the Bay of Bengal, including the Meghna River, was then compiled using a combination of recent data from the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) and generated data, which were interpolated using a two-way cubic spline interpolation method. The Modified Inverse Distance Weighted Interpolation (MIDWI) method was employed to map this bathymetric data to the nodal points of the triangular mesh, ensuring accurate representation of the seafloor’s varying depths. This work is essential for developing a reliable storm surge prediction model for the Bay of Bengal using FEM, as it provides the necessary geometric and bathymetric details required for precise numerical modeling.

The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanism by which Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) treated Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using network pharmacology and molecular docking. Initially, a screening process identified 98 target compounds and 628 related component targets within CRP. Additionally, 2483 AD targets were retrieved from disease databases. Subsequently, an overlapping targets map was constructed, integrating CRP and AD targets, followed by the creation of a protein-protein interaction network map to identify 66 targets closely associated with the treatment of AD using CRP. These targets were identified through topological attribute analysis. To gain further insights, GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were conducted on the 66 identified targets. The results revealed enrichment in various biological pathways, including the relaxin signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and IL-17 signaling pathway. Finally, molecular docking verification was performed on the targets and active components of CRP. Active components, such as flavanone, tangeretin, flavonol, carvacrol, and perillaldehyde, were found to form hydrogen bonds with targets, with binding energies below 0 kg/mol. This study utilized network pharmacology and molecular docking methods to systematically elucidate the mechanism by which CRP treats AD. The findings provided a theoretical foundation for future research and clinical investigations

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common pediatric illness mostly caused by Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and Human Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71). HFMD has grown significantly over the last 20 years, and it has drawn a lot of attention. To better understand of the epidemiology of HFMD, this study aims to investigate the use of Getis-Ord’s 𝐺𝑖 ∗ statistic in the identification of hotspots and coldspots of HFMD in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Methods: Getis-Ord’s 𝐺𝑖 ∗ statistic was first applied to identify hotspots and coldspots of HFMD incidence including highhigh, low-low spatial clusters. HFMD cases and infection rates collected in Ho Chi Minh were then used to explore the spatial clusters of HFMD Finally, the main findings will be discussed and summarised. Results: It was found that the large number of hand, foot and mouth disease cases were mainly concentrated in the western area of Ho Chi Minh City. A total of 04 hotspot clusters and 05 coldspots of HFMD infection rate were detected in the 29th week of 2024 in the west, center and north of Ho Chi Minh City, respectively. Whereas, 06 hotspots and 04 coldspots of HFMD infection rate were detected in the 30th week of 2024 in the west, south and center of Ho Chi Minh City, respectively. Conclusions: The results of this investigation confirm the value of Getis-Ord's 𝐺𝑖 ∗ statistic in the detection of hotspots and coldspots associated with confirmed cases of HFMD.

Antimicrobial resistance has grown to be a problem that affects not just the health of people and animals but also the economy and society. Because there are little preventative and control measures against antibiotic strains of bacterial infections, the Iraq area is most affected. There are two ways in which microbes might become resistant to drugs: either from other bacteria or from inside. Researching these resistance mechanisms is essential to creating effective illness therapies.

Masa klimakterium merupakan suatu masa peralihan dari mentruasi menjadi tidak mengalami
Menstruasi. Wanita yang telah memasuki masa klimakterium kemungkinan akan mengalami kemunduran kesehatan terutama perubahan secara fisik. Hot flush, vagina menjadi kering, kulit kendur dan keriput adalah contoh dari perubahan fisik. Perubahan fisik akibat dari masa klimakterium tersebut dapat mempengaruhi kondisi psikologis wanita saat masa klimakterium seperti mudah tersinggung, cemas, stress dan depresi. Pemanfaat bahan alami sangat dibutuhkan sebagai salah satu alternatif pengganti TSH, salah satunya fitoestrogen yang dimana adanya kumpulan senyawa alami dari tanaman jenis kacang-kacangan salah satunya kacang kedelai. Kedelai memiliki senyawa fitoestrogen yang banyak salah satunya isoflavon. Isoflavon sangat berkaitan dengan reseptor estrogen. Kandungan estrogen pada wanita masa klimakterium mengalami penyusutan yang signifikan. Isoflavon dapat mengikat sel-sel reseptor estrogen, sehingga tubuh tidak merasakan pengurangan yang dramatis. Mengkonsumsi susu kedelai dapat mengembalikan suplai hormon estrogen sehingga dapat mengurangi gejala yang disebabkan terjadinya penurunan fungsi ovarium dan produksi hormon estrogen yang dikarenakan isoflavon merupakan sejenis senyawa yang mengandung fitoestrogen yakni senyawa estrogen alami. Dari uraian tersebut, maka dilakukan pengabdian masyarakat dengan tujuan Upaya Peningkatan Kualitas Kesehatan Wanita Menopause melalui kegiatan penyuluhan tentang gejala dan tanda tanda perubahan pada masa klimakterum dengan mengkonsumsi susu kedelai di Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Gresik. Sasaran dengan optimalisasi peran kader kesehatan perempuan dan warga masyarakat yaitu wanita usia masa klimakterium. Dari hasil kegiatan yang dilakukan didapatkan peningkatan pengetahuan ibu masa klimakterium sebelum diberikan penyuluhan dan sesudah diberikan penyuluhan. Didapatkan bahwa rata-rata pengetahuan sebelum penyuluhan adalah 48 dan sesudah penyuluhan meningkat menjadi 84. Hasil uji paired sample t-test didapatkan p value 0,000 artinya ada pengaruh penyuluhan terhadap pengetahuan wanita masa klimakterium.

The use of gill nets in fishing is a well-established practice among fishermen due to several factors including ease of material acquisition, simple operational techniques, relatively affordable costs, and high selectivity in catching fish of specific sizes. This study aims to describe the design of fishing gill nets in Inner Ambon Bay. The research was conducted at the Ambon Fisheries Training and Extension Center (BP) in April and May of 2024. The design and construction of surface gillnets for mackerel scad consist of mesh size (inches), fish body circumference, net length, hanging ratio, weights, and distance between floats and weights. The design of the surface gill net with a 2-inch mesh size and a 45% hanging ratio has proven to be effective in catching mackerel scad (Decapterus sp) ranging from 17 cm to 26 cm in length. The use of polyamide (PA) material for the net body provides the necessary strength and flexibility, while the float made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and lead weights ensures balanced distribution for optimal functioning in the water. A 45% hanging ratio provides an ideal balance between net length and fish trapping ability, avoiding nets that are too curved or stiff, which can reduce fishing effectiveness.
