Intel·ligència artificial i tecnoètica
Authors: Angulo Bahón Cecilio , Véliz Carissa
Published: July 2023

L'entrada de la intel·ligència artificial a múltiples facetes de les nostres vides, des del diagnòstic mèdic o l'educació, fins a la seguretat ciutadana o el control epidemiològic planteja seriosos dilemes ètics i morals. Carissa Véliz i Cecilio Angulo han esmolat la ploma per desentranyar, de manera amena i divulgativa, els conflictes que suscita la irrupció de la intel·ligència artificial en els aspectes més recòndits de la nostra quotidianitat.

La tecnoètica ha emergit recentment com a part de l'ètica encarregada de tractar la relació que hi ha entre l'ésser humà i els artefactes tecnològics. Després de definir alguns conceptes bàsics, Angulo i Véliz estableixen un diàleg humanista que despertarà la reflexió, sembrarà el dubte, i no deixarà indiferent el lector. S'abordaran, entre d'altres, els conflictes relacionats amb la privadesa, la digitalització, la vigilància i els riscos que el progrés tecnològic cec pot comportar a la societat. Què hem de fer i com cal actuar davant la irremeiable i ubiqua presència de la intel·ligència artificial?
Transición energética : ¿qué es urgente? ¿qué es importante?
Authors: Reventós Puigjaner Francesc Josep
Published: July 2023

La problemática energética está sobre la mesa y la necesidad de una aproximación multidisciplinar que permita abordarla teniendo en cuenta su dimensión mundial, es cada día más acuciante. Para hablar de energía, además de conocer la tecnología, debemos tener muy presente a la ciudadanía, hacer un esfuerzo humano y científico para entender lo que nos pide y actuar en consecuencia. Para producir pensamiento energético necesitamos expertos en economía, gestión, climatología, sociología, sostenibilidad... y ¡también en tecnología energética! El entramado de las interacciones entre expertos de especialidad diversa en general ya es complejo y, en este caso tal vez más aún. Las dificultades que aparecen en estas interacciones suelen hacernos globalmente poco eficaces. ¡No interaccionamos de forma óptima! Así, y a pesar de los esfuerzos de muchos, el diálogo en temas de sostenibilidad energética o global entre expertos diversos es dificultoso. Estamos ante un tema con un encuadre complejo. La transversalidad debe ser gestionada y uno de los propósitos que tenemos es intentar aportar un poco de luz al esclarecimiento de la situación.
Recursos energètics i crisi : la fi de 200 anys irrepetibles
Authors: Riba Romeva Carles
Published: July 2023

Els recursos de la natura són finits, especialment les energies no renovables, un fet que no sembla que tinguin en compte molts dels responsables polítics i empresarials. L'autor es pregunta si serà possible mantenir el sistema de desenvolupament industrial iniciat ara fa 200 anys, amb l'explotació del carbó i, més tard, del petroli, del gas natural i de l'urani.
Aquesta anàlisi es basa en dades de les grans agències de l'energia (l'Energy Information Administration, EIA, del Govern dels Estats Units, i l'Agència Internacional de l'Energia, IEA-AIE, de l'OCDE), com també en altres fonts estadístiques reconegudes a escala internacional, convenientment contrastades i reelaborades.
Els resultats contradiuen moltes argumentacions oficials. Mostren que la crisi energètica serà profunda i que es manifestarà ja en la dècada actual: els recursos no s'acabaran immediatament, però l'escassetat de l'oferta davant de l'augment de la demanda qüestionarà el paradigma del creixement continu. Se suggereix que la crisi financera n'ha estat un preludi.
La reducció energètica començarà amb el petroli, fet que comportarà la crisi del transport, el fre de les produccions globalitzades i, en darrera instància, la crisi alimentària (també als països desenvolupats!). El canvi climàtic -imparable, segons les tendències analitzades- serà una dificultat afegida a les readaptacions necessàries.
Quin paper podria fer Europa en el futur, amb els recursos energètics ja exhaurits?
After the project : updating mass housing estates = actualització de polígons residencials
Authors: Brossa Marc , Sotoca García Adolfo
Published: July 2023

It is often argued that the future city will be that one built on the already urbanized territory. This statement asks for a new approach to Urban Planning, more attentive to regenerating existing urban fabrics than extending them.
Within this context, Mass Housing Estates and their renovation become an issue of great relevance. Being one of the 20th century's genuine forms of urban growth, their accelerated and very explicit obsolescence demands profound reflection on strategies and interventions.
This book shows some descriptions, thoughts and tentative designs on this particular urban form. Opened to an international scope, most of the presented materials and writings are referred to Barcelona and its MHE, since it is an exceptional case study in this matter, as it is in many other fields related to urbanism. The large number and diversity of housing estates that were developed throughout the last century set the framework for the analysis of three challenges that MHE renewal will face in the future: guarantee of basic living conditions; urbanity provision and metropolitan integration.

"The relevance of MHEs was the opportunity to build residential neighbourhoods with a much greater po-tential than traditional ones. Some specific cases have shown us how to design residential environments and others show us precisely the opposite, how not to.
MHE shouldn't have been located in isolated sites with an excessive insistence on a certain type of architec-ture. Today the centre of our metropolitan reality continues to be Barcelona: it is a key element, extremely important. But let us look with a renewed attention at the metropolitan context. The baricentre of this metro-politan Barcelona is certainly not located in Ciutadella, but somewhere in Collserola. It is in this change of scale, it is in understanding the real city, that we will find the key to redefine MHE as an integral part of a much broader and more complex system than the former periphery where they were once built.
Now we have the capacity and sufficient perspective to discern what was a mistake from the positive assets we can recover from these territories"

La mesura del peu medieval a Santa Maria de Poblet : la mesura dels carreus medievals = The measure of the medieval foot in Saint Mary of Poblet : the measure of medieval ashlar
Authors: Lloveras Montserrat Joaquín
Published: July 2023

Un únic sistema de mesura medieval que conté, entre altres unitats, el Peu.
L’objectiu d’aquest document és exposar com, a la Capella de Sant Esteve de Poblet, es pot verificar l’afirmació de que a l’edat medieval es va usar, a l’Europa cristiana, un únic sistema de mesures per a la construcció dels edificis religiosos. També constatar la idea que el conjunt de les mesures emprades pels constructors medievals son, senzillament, les que tenen els
carreus tallats pels picapedrers. Una de les Principals Mesures emprades a l’Època medieval fou el Peu, a Santa Maria de Poblet també. El podem trobar, com més endavant veurem, a les Mesures dels seus carreus. Les altres unitats del sistema únic de mesura medieval, també.

A single medieval measurement system formed, among other units, by the Foot.
The purpose of this document is to explain how, in the Chapel of Saint Stephen of Poblet, we can verify the afirmation that in the Middle Ages was used, in Christian Europe, a single system of measure for the construction of religious buildings. Also verify the idea that the whole of measures used by medieval builders are, simply, those that have the stones cut by masons. One of the main measures used in the Middle Ages was the Foot, in
Saint Mary of Poblet too. We may find the Foot, as we will see below, in the measurements of their cut stones. The other units of system of measurement medieval, too.
L'arquitectura i la vida : sobre Gaudí i altres escrits
Authors: Tous Carbó Enric
Published: July 2023

El llibre que ara es presenta és un recull dels escrits de l’arquitecte Enric Tous, la majoria dels quals estan dedicats a la passió de la seva vida: l’arquitecte Antoni Gaudí. Aquest llibre possiblement sorprengui a la comunitat dels arquitectes catalans. Tots recorden els excel·lents edificis i les botigues que Tous, amb el seu soci Josep Maria Fargas, van edificar a diferents llocs d’Espanya i Catalunya. Tots van ser publicats i difosos per la premsa especialitzada i van presentar els dos autors com a un equip d’arquitectura que apostava per la modernitat amb un component tecnològic acusat. I això els hi va guanyar el menyspreu del lobby cultural que defensava l’arquitectura modernista des del camí de la imitació, la cita i el respecte per les pre-existències ambientals, els materials “atrassats” i la distància amb la tecnologia. El treball de Tous i Fragas era molt més gaudinià: buscar en els orígens, fugir de la mimesi. Ara podem entendre què es portaven entre mans. L’estudi de Gaudí no era un camí per arribar a la imitació consoladora o al homenatge interessat, si no una manera de repensar la història, d’insistir en la crítica i la transversalitat i de mirar diferent. És de tot això del que parlen els escrits d’Enric Tous i que ens permeten obrir de nou la mirada vers una arquitectura per seguir aprenent: l’anàlisi és inacabable.

Intersecciones : cultura urbana, arte y arquitectura en los siglos XIX y XX
Authors: Pizza de Nanno Antonio
Published: July 2023

En este trazado panorámico de la Historia del Arte y de la Arquitectura durante los siglos XIX y XX, el lugar de la interpretación se configura como una intersección de motivos dispares: una verdadera red en la que las posibles historias se multiplican, sin poder jamás alcanzar una síntesis totalizadora: la historia como “problema” deviene así un recorrido crítico. El espacio histórico se configura como una red de significados interactivos; la nuestra es, pues, una de las múltiples narraciones posibles, no más cierta que otras, en absoluto exclusiva y menos aún superior. Solamente una hipótesis de trabajo, que deberá encontrar en su seno las justificaciones de su estructura para proponerse como creíble comentario crítico del mundo de los hechos físicos al que remite. Por otro lado, resaltar el fenómeno de la “ciudad” como lugar de reflexión ha significado distinguir un ámbito de experiencias pluridisciplinarias en torno al cual se van articulando las diversas opciones de distintos intérpretes. Estos “intérpretes” no son entonces únicamente los arquitectos o urbanistas, sino también los literatos, los artistas, los sociólogos, los filósofos, etc.; los inevitables cruces entre tales lecturas constituyen el espesor conceptual de una dimensión histórica fijada, además, a partir de la preeminencia otorgada al aspecto teórico. Han resultado operativos, en el mecanismo de elección de los argumentos, ciertos factores preferenciales: se han tomado en consideración cuantos (autores, movimientos, grupos, etc.) han participado activamente en el plural debate crítico surgido durante estos dos siglos alrededor del fenómeno “metrópoli”, implicándose mediante el uso de las potencialidades de cada una de las formas representativas y desarrollando una comprometida actitud reflexiva.
La millora de les condicions d'habitabilitat en els grans conjunts residencials de l'Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona
Authors: Ravetllat Mira Pere Joan , Díaz Gómez César , Cornadó Bardón Còssima , Vima Grau Sara
Published: July 2023

Els grans conjunts residencials, construïts a Europa en gran part durant les dècades de 1950, 1960 i 1970, formen part dels temes que han emmarcat la docència, investigació i pràctica professional dels membres del Grup de Recerca REARQ - Rehabilitació i Restauració Arquitectònica, centrat en les tasques referents a la millora de l’habitatge i l’edificació existent, així com en la seva relació amb la ciutat. Sens dubte, el pas del temps i les transformacions en el context sociopolític, socioeconòmic i urbà, juntament amb les intervencions desenvolupades per les diferents administracions i per les pròpies persones residents, han bastit una realitat contemporània que resulta cada vegada més complexa, fent necessària una mirada multi-escalar i multi-disciplinària. Aquest fet, ens remet a la conveniència d’observar i comprendre rigorosament la complexitat existent, amb la finalitat de poder plantejar la millora i conservació dels grans conjunts residencials sense renunciar als seus genuïns valors arquitectònics i socials d’origen, sovint amagats o desbaratats amb el pas del temps. El coneixement de les problemàtiques complexes que comparteixen bona part dels grans conjunts residencials europeus, si be són molt variables segons cada país, cada ciutat i cada barri, demostra que les mesures de tipus arquitectònic i urbanístic, majoritàriament aplicades fins a dia d’avui resulten insuficients en quantia i en abast disciplinar i escalar. El present estudi d’investigació parteix de la voluntat de posar de manifest que els grans conjunts residencials no han arribat al seu límit d’ús i existència, i que en conseqüència hi ha molt a fer per tal de prevenir, frenar i erradicar els processos de degradació iniciats i consolidats en alguns casos extrems, tant des d’un punt de vista físic de l’edificació existent i de l’entorn urbà com social de la població resident. Els reptes que planteja la realitat contemporània dels grans conjunts residencials, justifiquen l’interès d’obrir els camps de diagnosi i d’actuació incorporant qüestions de caire sociològic a les qüestions estrictament tecnològiques, de tal manera que es considerin simultàniament les característiques específiques de la població resident i de l’entorn físic, urbà i arquitectònic. Així mateix, des d’un punt de vista escalar, es planteja la necessitat de tenir en compte de manera simultània l’habitatge, la comunitat de veïns, l’edifici, l’entorn urbà immediat així com la totalitat del barri.

La abstracción del territorio = The abstraction of the territory
Authors: Barba Casanovas Rosa
Published: July 2023

Rosa Barba es la gran impulsora de los estudios de paisajismo en Barcelona y la defensora de una nueva manera de afrontar el paisajismo como un problema de proyecto que ultrapasa a la pura observación y satisfacción del medio y el territorio. El proyecto científico y académico de Rosa Barba culmina en la década de los noventa, pero se inicia y madura en la década anterior, en los trabajos profesionales, la docencia universitaria y los estudios y reflexiones teóricas que lleva a cabo. En este recorrido, la tesis es un primer hito en el que no solo explica como ha descubierto el paisaje sino que subraya el carácter proyectual del debate. Para reivindicar su obra, en este libro se publica la traducción de su tesis al castellano y al inglés y se acompaña de diferentes textos: Estanislau Roca, Oriol Nel·lo, João Ferreira Nunes y Ricard Pié enmarcan la publicación y los cuatro epílogos de Jordi Bellmunt, Maria Goula, Anna Zahonero y Josep Maria Vilanova, ponen el acento en los aspectos más significativos.

Rosa Barba was the greatest driving force behind landscape studies in Barcelona and a strong advocate of taking a new approach to the landscape project by viewing it as a problem that surpasses pure observation and pleasure in the environment and territory. Rosa Barba’s scientific and academic projects culminated in the 1990s, but they began and matured in the previous decade during her professional work, university teaching, and throughout her studies and theoretical considerations. On this journey, her thesis marks the first milestone in which she not only explains how she discovered the landscape but also highlights the nature of design in the debate on landscape. In order to reclaim and to disseminate her work, this publication is both in Spanish and English. The book includes a number of additional texts edited by different authors and scholars. The contributions by Estanislau Roca, Oriol Nel·lo, João Ferreira Nunes and Ricard Pié aim to define the book framework, while the four epilogues by Jordi Bellmunt Chiva, Maria Goula, Anna Zahonero and Josep Maria Vilanova Claret, emphasize its most significant aspects.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the style of communication used by community leaders in Sayur Matinggi Village, Ujung Padang District, Simalungun Regency and also to determine the obstacles and responses given in the application of communication styles in overcoming juvenile delinquency. In addition to knowing whether the communication style is in accordance with Islamic religious principles or not. This research method uses qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. The informants in this study were three community leaders and 2 teenagers to become data sources. Data collection techniques carried out in this study used interview techniques, observation, and documentation related to research. The results of the research conducted are that the communication styles used by community leaders have been effective in overcoming juvenile delinquency, it's just that there are several communication styles that are not used because they have risks in use because they are threatening and aggressive. Obstacles in the application of communication styles in overcoming juvenile delinquency come from the surrounding environment which is less supportive for having a good personality. The language used by community leaders is also an obstacle in implementation because it uses regional languages and also many teenagers ignore orders given or ignore advice given. However, the response given by adolescents was quite positive, this can be seen in the development of knowledge insight in adolescents, being able to control emotions, and having a good personality. the style of communication used by community leaders is also in accordance with the principles of the Islamic religion and there is no visible deviation.

Authors:   Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia, Nešić Tomašević Ana
Published: July 2023

Technological advancements and changes in the labor market require workers to continuously enhance their skills. Lifelong learning becomes a necessity in reality, and proposals in developed countries for returning to college after graduation open up new opportunities for acquiring new knowledge. Digital literacy, communication skills with both humans and robots, and understanding complex problems may become key skills for the 21st century. Jobs in the fields of medicine and technological innovation are expected to be in high demand. Furthermore, the digitization of society requires an increase in digital competences. These competences encompass not only computer literacy but also readiness for collaboration, quick problem-solving, and understanding of social relationships in a digital context. The paper “Lifelong Learning and Digital Competences in the Era of Industry 5.0: Keys to Success in the Future of Work” highlights the importance of continuous education and the development of skills necessary in the modern work environment, which is increasingly shifting towards Industry 5.0 and digital transformation.
NANOINFORMATICS, COMPUTER APPLICATIONS FOR NANOMEDICINE
Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Environmental Protection, Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia, Đorđević Aleksandar
Published: July 2023

Nanoinformatics emerged in the early 21st century as a response to the need for computer applications at the nano level. While nanomaterials offer the potential for developing new devices in various industrial and scientific fields, they also provide revolutionary perspectives in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in humans. This review paper analyzes different aspects of nanoinformatics with a special focus on nanomedicine. Another important aspect is the use of informatics in further advancing the biological and clinical applications of basic research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoinformatics can accelerate the development of the emerging field of nanomedicine, similar to what happened with the Human Genome and other -omics projects, through the exchange of modeling and simulation methods and tools, linking toxicity information with clinical and personal databases, or developing new approaches for scientific studies.
Training on Therapeutic Communication and Patient Safety to Improve the Quality Indicator of Nursing Care at the Government Hospital in Bukittinggi, West Sumatera

Published: July 2023

Hospitals as one of the agencies that have a role in providing health services to the community are required to improve the quality of performance or quality of service in meeting needs and expectations so as to provide satisfaction to the community. One indicator of the quality service needed is an increase in the quality of services provided. As an effort to improve service quality, there are two quality indicators (communication and patient safety) that have not been optimally implemented in the hospitals. This Community Service (PKM) aims to provide training and increase knowledge through socialization and outreach to the nurses in one of the government hospitals in Bukittinggi, West Sumatera. The method that has been used in this PKM includes counseling related to the therapeutic communication between nurse-patient and socialization of hand washing with six steps and five moments. The results of this PKM obtained an increase in the knowledge and competence of nurses as well as the procedural for implementing hand washing and five moments in the treatment room.

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the foeto-maternal outcome of trial of labour after previous one lower segment caesarean section in spontaneous and induced labour and to ascertain the success rate of VBAC.(Vaginal birth after cesarean section) Methods It was a prospective study conducted from May2019-November2020.The pregnant women admitted in BPSGMC (BPS Government Medical College), labour ward who had previous one caesarean section undergoing trial of labour after either spontaneous onset or induction of labour, were included in the study. Results Total patients were 130, [65 each, in group I(spontaneous) and group II (induced)]. Successful TOLAC (Trial of labour after cesarean section) happened in 80% in spontaneous labour (gp I) patients and 66.2 % women in induced patients (group II), (p value-0.075). There was no significant difference in age, parity and gestational age (p value >0.05), APGAR score and NICU (Neonatal intensive care unit) admissions in both spontaneous labour(gp I) and induced patients (gp II). There incidence of fetal distress was not statistically significant in spontaneous (group I) and induced patients (group II), (p value-0.744). Indication of primary LSCS (Lower segment cesarean section) showed no significant effect on outcome of TOLAC in spontaneous and induced group patients. History of prior vaginal delivery had more chances of VBAC. Hospital stay and PPH was more in induced patients(group II). The dfference of scar dehiscence in group I(spontaneous) and II (induced) were not statistically significant (p value=0.721). There were no cases of scar rupture in both the groups. Conclusion Induction of labour and spontaneous labour both have almost similar VBAC success rates. Also with fewer scar dehiscence and no rupture, IOL (Induction of labour) is a good option in previous one cesarean patients.

Güvenli olmayan bir ağ ortamında verileri gizlemek ve transferini sağlamak için şifreleme kripto sistemleri kullanılır. Asimetrik şifreleme kriptosistemlerinde verinin güvenle saklanması ve iletişimin güvenli gerçekleşmesi için kullanılan algoritmaların gücü, anahtar gizliliği, cebirsel fonksiyonlar kadar kullanılan asal sayılar da etkilidir. Asal sayılar, insanlar veya bilgisayarlar arasında güvenli veri göndermeye yardımcı olurken şifrelenmiş veriyi de güvende tutar. Kriptosistemin güvenliği aynı zamanda saldırılara dayanabilme kapasitesiyle ilişkilidir. Asimetrik şifreleme algoritmalarından biri olan RSA şifreleme algoritması saldırılara karşı gücünü çarpma işleminden almaktadır ve temeli asal sayılara dayanmaktadır. Çok büyük sayıların çarpanlara ayrılması zorluğu RSA’nın gücüne güç katmaktadır ki bu da şifreleme dünyasında tercih edilirliğini arttırdığı sonucunu beraberinde getirmektedir. Çarpma işlemi ve çarpanlara ayırmada kullanılan sayıların oldukça küçük olması ufacık bir çocuk için eğlenceli bir oyuna dönüşen matematiksel becerilerin; sayılar gitgide büyüdüğünde teknolojik aygıtlar için bile belirli sürelerde neredeyse imkansıza yaklaşmasına neden olmaktadır. Sayılar teorisi ve kriptografi için önemi tartışılmaz, hem matematikçiler hem de bilgisayar bilimciler çarpanlara ayırma problemi üzerinde uzun yıllar çalışmalar gerçekleştirmişlerdir. RSA’da modN’i oluşturan (N=p.q) p ve q asal çarpan değerlerinin çok küçük ve birbirine yakın olması sistemin güvensizliği sorunu doğurmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında önerilen RSA algoritma uygulamasıyla bu güvensizlik sorunu incelenmiş ve () adet asal sayı kullanılarak RSA şifreleme yapılmış Normal RSA ile karşılaştırma yapılmıştır.
Optimization of Interplanetary Trajectory for Direct Fusion Drive Spacecraft

Published: July 2023

The Direct Fusion Drive (DFD) technology, which is being developed at present, will allow fast and affordable interplanetary travel. This is a result of the very high specific impulse and the low specific mass of DFD thrusters which outperform more conventional Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP), with which it shares the ability of providing a low (albeit higher than in the case of NEP) continuous thrust. It is well known that, to optimize the payload fraction, the thruster should operate in Variable Exhaust Velocity (VEV) mode and that the lower is the specific mass, the higher should be the maximum specific impulse the thruster can produce. A low thrust interplanetary travel, from the orbit around the starting planet to the orbit around the destination planet, can be considered as made of three parts: a first planetocentric phase, a second heliocentric phase and finally a third planetocentric phase; in all of them the trajectory is a sort of a spiral, but while in the first and third the spacecraft makes several (or even a large number) turns about the two planets, the second consists of a fraction of a turn about the Sun. In the first and last one the optimal specific impulse is not much variable and should remain quite low, while in the second one it must go through large variations, reaching a very high value at roughly midway between the planets. To show the potentialities of DFD, three typical fast missions are studied: to the Moon, to Mars and to Titan, showing that this propulsion device will allow humans to reach practically the whole solar system in a reasonable time.

The term "biotechnology" refers to the use of living organisms in man-made systems. Effluent treatment and fermentation both benefit from the employment of microorganisms. The widespread use of these methods could have a significant economic influence in fields including the development of novel pharmaceuticals, foods, and chemicals, the enhancement of agricultural goods, and the degradation of toxic wastes in substantial quantities. When it comes to cleaning the air in factories and cities of unpleasant odors and harmful chemicals, biotechnology provides the most cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. The environment and human health are both negatively impacted by the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic odorants. Odor-causing substances in the environment include ammonia, amines, hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide. The need for air pollution control systems to provide peaceful, breathing air is developing as a result of rising population density and the construction of new residential areas and industrial units. This article offers a survey of the several biotechnological strategies now in use for reducing air pollution and unpleasant odors. Legal restrictions necessitate the elimination of odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to public complaints about poor air quality on-site and emission monitoring by enforcement agencies. Keywords- volatile organic compound (VOC), biotechnology, air pollution control.

The prototype of a magnetic separator was initiated and manufactured for handling undersized products of Pierce Smith Converter which has been channeled to a temporary shelter called a matte pond. It was dredged three to four times a year and it’s costly. This expenditure can be minimized by the manufacture of magnetic separators that are used to attract undersized nickel products. The manufacture of this prototype uses a scale of 1:20.000 for the volume of water and nickel matte, while for chute and magnetic drums with a scale of 1:4 from the conditions in the field. This research aims to determine whether magnetic separators are relevant for installation in the nickel processing industry, with the slope angle of the chute and magnetic power as the main parameters. Thus the matte pond can be minimized and undersized products can be directly processed and distributed to consumers. The material used in the manufacture of this prototype is aluminum sheet 1/16 which is rolled for magnetic drums, aluminum sheet 1/8 in for chute, copper wire 0.5 mm and mild steel, lathe for rods and axis, and bending for magnetic holders. The result of this magnetic separator prototype is 24.48% nickel can be attracted.
