Published: January 2024

Soil erosion is an important concern due to the steepness of the terrain and the significant elevation differential between the upstream and downstream regions of the basin. Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was integrated with Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) in the current work establish the annual soil erosion map in the Bulango Ulu Reservoir basin. The RUSLE model incorporated soil erosion zonation features such as rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, topographic, vegetation cover, and conservation support practices. The results show that 0 and 110.31 t year−1 are the minimum and maximum soil erosion, with the average rate of soil erosion is 17.30 t year−1 in the present study area. Soil erosion risk regions were divided into five categories: very slight, slight, moderate, severe and extremely severe soil erosion areal extent and area percentages is 229.17 km2 (94.48%), 7.83 km2 (3.23%), 4.25 km2 (1.75%), 1.20 km2 (0.50%), and 0.12 km2 (0.05%), respectively. The Area Under Curve was indicated that RUSLE model had good performance (75.1%). This study demonstrates the utility of GIS and remote sensing for predicting soil erosion, allowing important information to be extracted for implementing soil conservation programs in the Bulango Ulu reservoir basin.

Published: January 2024

Saturation flow rate is a key parameter essential for assessing signalized intersection capacity. The reference often used for signalized intersection planning in Indonesia is Indonesian Highway Capacity Guidelines (PKJI, 2023). In heterogeneous traffic environments, it has been observed that driver characteristics and behaviors exhibit significant variations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevailing saturation flow rate conditions at signalized intersections within Banda Aceh City. This exploration unfolded through two distinct scenarios, namely saturated time with and without initial lost time. For data acquisition, the focus was set on four signalized intersections, namely Jambo Tape, Pocut Baren, AMD Batoh, and Lhong Raya. This extraction procedure aimed to uncover insights into vehicle composition, movement patterns, and field saturation flow rate at these signalized intersections. In the aspect of analysis, a simple linear regression approach was adopted to recalibrate saturation flow rate coefficient of signalized intersections. This recalibration took into account vehicle compositions at the observation locations. The culmination of this analysis showed that in the scenario devoid of lost time under prevailing conditions, flow rate yielded S0 = 352 x Le. Meanwhile, for the scenario entailing lost time, the calculation produced was S0 = 294 x Le.

Published: January 2024

Soil stabilization is a way that is most considered to be cheaper than replacing old, less good soil with better ones with the aim of improving the properties of the original soil which has low bearing capacity, high plasticity index, high swelling and poor gradation, especially for areas that requires soil improvement. One of the stabilizing materials that can be used is lime as an additive which is useful for increasing soil stiffness and strength. The lime used in this research came from Tripe Jaya District, Gayo Lues Regency. This research was carried out by taking soil samples in a quarry which was then added with lime as a stabilizing agent. This soil was tested for physical properties, compaction, and a shear strength test (direct shear). Research was conducted to see the results of soil stabilization with lime on changes in soil strength when receiving the effects of both natural and artificial (remolded) factors. The results of the research can be used to mitigate cases of road or building collapse on the subgrade or infrastructure built on the land. The primary data required in this research was taken from the results of examinations and tests in the laboratory. The tests and inspections carried out are in the form of measuring the physical properties of the soil such as water content, specific gravity, plastic limit, liquid limit, and PSA (Particle Size Analyzer), as well as measuring mechanical properties in the form of soil compaction parameters with a standard proctor on the original soil and soil shear strength using direct shear test to obtain friction angle (ϕ) and cohesion (c). In this research, a comparison of the stabilized shear strength of clay soil with Gayo Lues limestone has been carried out with several other soil sources for landslide analysis. The analysis results show that Gayo Lues limestone has a good ability to increase the strength and stability of clay soil. It is hoped that this research will provide useful information in selecting the right soil stabilization material.

Published: January 2024

Soil is a building material and the foundation of the structure, it must be considered. There are bumpy roads and collapses on Jalan Elak Lhokseumawe. This study’s primary focus is on road subgrade. Because of its high plasticity index and clay minerals that swell when water is added, the soil cannot be used as a subgrade. Volcanic ash from Burni Telong Bener Meriah was used in this study. The combined volcanic ash content ranges between 7.5% and 15%. The goal is to see if the bearing can be stabilized afterward. Based on XRD analysis, this soil has an illite clay mineral content with a WT value of 0.817%. The Atterberg limit test on soil is classified as A-7-5 by AASHTO and MH by USCS. At a percentage of 12.5% volcanic ash, the CBR test results for soaked and unsoaked conditions yielded optimal values of 5.9% and 9.4%, respectively. The swelling value continued to fall at a percentage of 12.5% volcanic ash. UCS test results in soaked and unsoaked conditions at 12.5% volcanic ash percentage yielded optimum values of 1.46 kg/cm2 and 2.18 kg/cm2, respectively. The soil is found to be usable, but it needs to be stabilized.

Authors: Rizalihadi M. , Yulianur A. , Jamil M. , Bermansyah S. , Febrian A.C.
Published: January 2024

Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters that causes loss of lives, properties, and significant resources, repeatedly occurring throughout Aceh, particularly in North Aceh. Given the more frequent floods and their damaging effects, it appears urgent and crucial to enhance the identification and mapping of flood susceptibility. One method that has been developed is the flood susceptibility mapping method. However, this method cannot address the challenges of flood susceptibility zone delineation due to the uncertainty of evaluation processes and the complex nonlinear relationships between indicators and risk levels, given that flood mapping is a multi-criteria spatial decision problem requiring hydrologic and geographic information. The objectives of this research are to assess flood susceptibility using the AHP-MCDM and to integrate using GIS to produce flood susceptibility map in Kr. Keureuto Watershed. Seven criteria from hydrologic and geographic information of the watershed were collected and analyzed using ArcGIS, and the weight of criteria using AHP from 25 expert responders. The results shows that there are four distinct levels of flood susceptibility: very high, high, medium, and low vulnerable. Significantly, the downstream Kr. Keureuto watershed emerges as highly susceptible to flooding, compared to the upstream zone.

Published: January 2024

Assembly of multiple satellites enables to replace the functionality of one large satellite by multiple smaller satellites for many applications and missions such as formation flying, multi robot planetary exploration, and satellites warms. In this paper, a novel decentralized guidance and control (G&C) algorithms is developed for multi-satellite assembly in proximity operations based on Non linear Model Predictive Control (NMPC).The two-body relative motion model is utilized in designing the G&C systems. Decentralization avoids the single point of failure (i.e., the leader satellite), which enhances the robustness of the system. The NMPC is utilized because of itsability to handle the output and the input constraints. Collision avoidance is ensured by defining a quadratic constraint equation. Moreover, the optimal thrust vector is computed while considering the control input saturation. The mission is to assemblemultiple satellites into a cubic configuration, where each satellite approaches a cube vertex. Totes the algorithms’ effectiveness and to increase the level of confidence prior flight, the proposed closed-loop G&C system is demonstrated by using MATLAB andtested for a relative motion model with J2 perturbation. The simulation results showsmooth conversion of all satellites to the target while satisfying the input and outputconstraints.

Published: January 2024

Essential oil of brown color was obtained by hydro-distillation from fresh flowers of horse chestnut. All major components of the corresponding oils were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The microorganisms most sensitive to the studied essential oil of flowers were revealed: Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens, and Bacillus subtilis. Extensive documentation on the antimicrobial properties of essential oils and their constituents has been carried out by several workers. Although the mechanism of action of a few essential oil components has been elucidated in many pioneering works in the past, detailed knowledge of most of the compounds and their mechanism of action is still lacking. This knowledge is particularly important for the determination of the effect of essential oils on different microorganisms, how they work in combination with other antimicrobial compounds, and their interaction with food matrix components. Also, recent studies have demonstrated that nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with essential oils have significant antimicrobial potential against multidrug-resistant pathogens due to an increase in chemical stability and solubility, decreased rapid evaporation and minimized degradation of active essential oil components.

Research on the theme selection of Chinese films in the new environment
Authors: Geng Qinying
Published: January 2024

This selection is important because the film is a good way for the country to show itself to foreign countries. China’s progress can be shown to foreign countries through improvements in film production, and it can also reduce some high-cost low-income films and make the direction of film development clearer. The comparative analysis method is used to analyze the paper more comprehensively and focused. It is found that the film needs to be richer in macro construction and less in narrative and lyrical storytelling. Because science fiction films need to be more well-made for the imagination of the wide world, China is still too conservative and wants to add a sense of home and country to the film, which is sometimes counterproductive. This paper goes from comparing the two films to analyzing the success and failure of similar films to the problems and suggestions encountered in developing science fiction films in China. Hopefully, it can play some role in Chinese films’ development direction and methods.

However, most firms in the park faced bankruptcy within a few years. This paper conducts a qualitative experiential analysis case study from a supply chain perspective. Financial statements and court-issued lists were analyzed to establish the chronological developmental history of motorcycle factories and parts manufacturers in the area. The reasons for bankruptcy were identified and prioritized, with management decision-making, excessive expansion, and high-risk investments being the main causes of motorcycle factory bankruptcy. Unfair competition and financial issues were also contributing factors. For parts manufacturers, bankruptcy primarily resulted from unfair competition’s credit selling practices, followed by funding shortages. Analyzing these reasons serves as a warning and provides potential solutions for similar enterprises facing challenges.
How Group Leaders Build Stable Community Buying Groups: A Perspective Based on the Differential Mode of Association
Authors: Si Xiang
Published: January 2024

Since 2016, community group buying has grown significantly in China, largely driven by its efficient logistics, supply chains, low prices, and convenience. This model has been further popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic due to its effectiveness in meeting daily needs while minimizing human-to-human contact. A key component of this business model are the “group leaders” - influential individuals within a community responsible for managing group buying activities, which include order collection, supplier liaison, and goods distribution. Their primary task is to form and sustain a reliable community group buying consortium, a task that demands excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. This paper examines this phenomenon using the lens of the differential mode of association, a theoretical model explaining interpersonal relationships in traditional Chinese society. The research indicates that group leaders, through regular interaction with consumers, are able to alter their social network position, increase their influence, understand consumer needs, provide satisfying services, and enhance trust, thereby transforming consumers into loyal group buying participants. This transformation not only brings stability to group buying activities but also reinforces the community influence of group leaders, thus fostering the growth of community group buying.

Authors: Bin Zhiyuan , Ge Yunfan , Huang Rui , Xu Haisheng
Published: January 2024

The rise and fall of the Chinese stock market has been the subject of many studies since its inception. However, the recurring uncertainty of the broad market and individual stocks has overturned many people’s perceptions of the financial market. This paper explores the principles of the rise and fall of individual stocks under certain conditions, starting from Samuelson’s phenomenon of backward bending of the price supply curve for oil and labour, and proposes a methodology for stock market investment based on this principle. The results of the study show that the rise of stock prices is often characterized by a rapid jump. An important factor related to this is the interest rate of private lending. The rise and fall of private lending rates affect the expected return on stock market investment funds and has an important impact on stock market investment. Therefore, in the absence of a qualitative change in the stock’s texture, the medium-term rate of increase is the key to judging the stock price’s later trend. The results of this study provide a new direction to think about when judging the short- and medium-term stock price movements.

At the same time, external factors such as information technology and consumer demand have also brought new challenges to catering enterprises, which makes China’s catering industry pay attention to supply chain management. The upgrading and transformation of the catering industry’s supply chain have effectively reduced traditional operating costs and expanded the market share. On the contrary, the market gradually eliminates those catering companies that do not pay attention to upgrading and transforming the supply chain. Those catering enterprises who are committed to upgrading the supply chain have gradually found that the role of standardized management is becoming more and more important. From the perspective of standardized management, this paper discusses the impact of supply chain standardized management on China’s catering industry by comparing domestic and foreign standardization.

Authors: Qiu Haoran
Published: January 2024

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the most successful and popular franchises worldwide due to its continuous development. Therefore, this essay employs content analysis to investigate the worldbuilding and character develop issues in the Marvel Cinematic Universe productions. The findings reveal that the dense interconnections within the productions of the franchise makes it challenging for new audiences to enter. The repetition and declined quality of the plot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s productions after Avengers: Endgame (2019) has also made old fans begin to lose interest. The imbalance between old and new characters leads the franchise to an awkward situation. To address these problems, Marvel can slow down the pace of new releases, so that the new audiences will be given more time to know the fictional world by catching up previous productions. Besides, Marvel Studios can have more time to improve the quality of their works to maintain the attraction to old audiences. Furthermore, they should focus on balancing the development of both old and new characters to better serve different audiences.
