Published: January 2022

This study generally aimed to determine the effectiveness of kamias, star fruit, and karamay fruit extracts in removing stains. Previous studies revealed the effectiveness of Kamias as a stain remover, while, this study compared the effectiveness of different fruit extracts as a stain remover and the potential utilization of other fruit extracts from trees that are locally available.  We determined the cost of making stain remover using kamias, karamay, and star fruit extracts, the ability of these fruit extracts as a stain remover in terms of the degree of strain reduction and whitening of the cloth, and ultimately, the significant difference between the various treatments. Results revealed that the use of star fruit extract was the cheapest among the four treatments while the highest cost was incurred using Karamay extract. There was a significant difference observed between treatments. Bleach was the most effective in removing the stains and whitening the fabric, followed by the kamias extract. In terms of removing stains, whitening the cloth, and availability in the neighborhood, the extract was found to have the best results. We, therefore, recommended the use of kamias extract as an alternative organic stain remover for fabrics and be used by the households. Being derived from natural fruit extract and contain no dangerous chemicals, the product is safe for human use and environment-friendly.

Published: January 2022

We present the design of bandpass filter on the frequency of the QZSS satellite, by providing bandwidth at the cut-off frequency equally to the bandwidth of the QZSS L1 with selecting the response characteristic on Butterworth maximally flat amplitude. Bandpass filter design using frequency of the QZSS L1 with bandwidth is 24MHz. The design procedure involves two steps, the first step is to find the required order of the filter, which we use 3rd order, and the second step is to find the scale factor that must be applied to the normalized parameter values. The Band-Pass Butterworth filler is a combination between low pass and high pass. For the Butterworth filter, the value of a resistor that has been used are 50Ω. Then go to find the capacitor and inductor and by using PSpice as the tools for the simulation. The results of the output of bandpass filter at -3dB was between 1563 and 1587MHz. And was bandwidth around 24MHz. The combination of the lowpass filter and high pass filter is to perform as the bandpass filter. Therefore, there are two combinations also in designing bandpass filter. The aim of this combination is to have an influence on the performance of bandpass filter. As a conclusion, this designed filter on the frequency of QZSS L1 is to be useful by using bandpass filter.

Published: January 2022

In the present study, we discussed the best techniques for the clear scan of the spine. For this investigation, it was found that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a better technique as compared to others. It gives proper images and results in the case of hard tissues like the spine compared to X-Ray and computed tomography (CT) scans. It is also better in sense of it has a small radiation risk as compared to X-Ray and CT have some radiation hazards to patient health. Thirteen patients were scanned by MRI technique and the result was evaluated. It is a non-invasive technique and is used for different pathological diseases. It was found that most doctors and surgeons preferred the MRI techniques in the case of the Spinal Cord. Many radiologists exercised X-rays, CT, and MRI methods for viewing clear images of the spine. It was concluded that MRI is the best technique than X-rays and CT scans. MRI is a modality choice for the evaluation of soft tissue changes in the case of Cord. In the case of the Spinal Cord MRI better evaluates changes in spinal cord compression due to its high-resolution property. The CT could not tell us about the soft tissue change in Cord however it more clearly tells us about the fracture of vertebral bodies and posterior elements.

The Integration of the Engineering Design Process in Biology-related STEM Activity: A Review of Thai Secondary Education
Authors: Tipmontiane Krittin , Williams P John
Published: January 2022

STEM education is an effective instructional approach to multidimensionally develop students. Although the engineering discipline (E) in STEM education is ambiguously represented and integrated in the field of biological concepts in secondary education, the engineering design process (EDP) is showing potential to clearly guide educators to incorporate the EDP in biological classes. Thus, this review paper proposes to offer ideas of integrating EDP into biology-related STEM lessons in the context of Thai secondary education. It also outlines benefits and challenges of EDP integration which may assist teachers during designing lessons. The gathered results of prior research suggest that the EDP has potential to provide experiences focused on multidisciplinary real-life circumstances via hands-on activities in order to investigate solutions to problems. The challenges are greater to integrate EDP into biological tasks than other disciplines because of the nature of the content. Due to the ambiguity of integration, professional development programs, the implementation of suitable life-science content, and biological inspiration would assist teachers in conducting high-quality biological STEM activities which incorporate EDP. Moreover, time constraints, teachers’ negative attitudes, and a lack of resources should be addressed as barriers to consider before the implementation.

Published: January 2022

Programming (including coding, data science, and artificial intelligence) is one of the important top skills for chemical engineering undergraduate students, especially in the current era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). Despite its importance, there is almost no dedicated course for programming in the traditional chemical engineering curriculum in many universities. In this article, a future chemical engineering curriculum that includes a programming course is discussed and its integration into traditional courses is also proposed. This study proposes to use three software i.e., Microsoft Excel, GAMS, and Python to make students comfortable to programming so they can learn further by themselves. A representative case of classic logistics problem is presented as a case study. It is expected that this teaching strategy and the proposed example will improve students’ cognition in programming.

Published: January 2022

This study aims to determine how the impact of the COVID pandemic on the education system so that it changes learning patterns in daily life in the form of online and modular learning. How the attitude of parents in dealing with changes in educational normality faced by children as students is the focus of this research. In this study, parents were considered as an integral part of this survey due to their direct contact with learners. The results showed that the variables affected a parent's ability to actively participate in their child's education during the pandemic. The variables were influenced by (1) the parental role construction which is shaped by the beliefs, perception, and experiences of the parent; (2) the socioeconomic status of the parent which influences the skill, knowledge, energy, and time availability of the parent; (3) the invitation of parents by the teachers and schools to be active participants in the education of their children during the pandemic; (4) and the self-efficacy and confidence derived by the parent from being an active participant. We collected data from our respondents in the form of a survey, in which the data, through a Likert scale, were separated based on what form of modality the respondent is undertaking and they were analyzed by finding its mean and difference between the two media of education. The findings revealed that the major concern of the parents was related to children facing the problems due to sudden school closure and a complete lockdown on social gatherings. To address these challenges, schools have played a phenomenal role in flipping the conventional model of teaching and learning. However, phenomena have not been as easy as they may seem. Many teachers had to speedily overcome camera consciousness and be able to deliver 'live' classes. Moreover, parents have adapted quickly to address the learning gap that has emerged in their children’s academic lives in these challenging times. Home learning has emerged as a substitute to the conventional schooling methods, which should be made effective to provide essential learning skills to children at home using the limited available resources. The limitations remain like how parents with different educational backgrounds will follow through the instructions; therefore, online schooling to support home learning can be a go-to strategy where teachers deliver education online. This research provides parents with an overview of how their support has affected their children's academic performance so far, as well as provides them with knowledge about their shortcomings in supporting their children's education during the pandemic.

Fossil energy is still the main contributor in Indonesia. In fact, based on a study it is stated that fossil fuels will only last 50-70 years. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the role of geothermal energy as renewable energy. Geothermal energy is very good if it is developed into a new and renewable energy source because it has a good impact on the environment. Geothermal energy also does not damage the local conditions such as mining activities so that biodiversity is preserved. Then, the operation period of the Geothermal Power Generation (known as PLTP) can be more than 30 years and does not require fuel. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly, and its potential impact on pollution is minimal. Thus, geothermal energy is the right solution to overcome dependence on fossil energy that is not renewable and is expected to run out in the near future.

Published: January 2022

In the world of education, during the COVID-19 pandemic, schools and colleges were not allowed to do face-to-face learning directly or often called offline at schools or campuses. All teaching and learning processes must be carried out online at home. One alternative to this policy is by applying the Distance Learning (PJJ) method where teachers or students cannot meet face to face directly. PJJ currently carried out is online (in a network) through internet-based media. At the senior high school / vocational school / Islamic Senior High School level PJJ is carried out using a Learning Management System (LMS), which is a system that can manage, convey, and monitor students using an internet-based application. Not enough with LMS, WhatsApp social media using the Group feature is also one of the supports in the successful implementation of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on the Effectiveness of Distance Learning (PJJ) using learning media Learning Management System (LMS) and WhatsApp Group was conducted at senior high school 1 Cipeundeuy, Subang, Indonesia.
