Authors: Manan Abdul , Puspitafuri Cindy , Chahyani Rani , Irawati  , Pertiwi Imanuela Indah
Published: April 2024

This research was conducted to determine the possible impact of an earthquake on the mainland of Wangi-Wangi Island based on the presence of shear strain on the surface ground (γ). The size of γ is obtained by multiplying the ground susceptibility index and the acceleration of basement ground or PGA using Nakamura’s technique. The data used are microtremor data and earthquake data from 1920 to 2020 sourced from the USGS. Microtremor data are obtained from the results of filtering ground vibration signals using a Band Pass Filter in the frequency range between 0.5 to 25 Hz. Ground vibration signals were recorded at 47 measurement points spread over the surface of Wangi-Wangi Island within 29.25 to 48.16 minutes. Furthermore, the microtremor data were processed using the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) method. The use of earthquake data must meet the requirements for a surface magnitude (MS) ≥ 5.0 SR and an earthquake epicenter depth (h) ≤ 45 km. The results obtained are the γ sizes of Wangi-Wangi Island in the order of 10-06 to 10-03. Based on the size distribution, it is known that the majority of the Wangi-Wangi Island area has the potential to experience cracks and land subsidence due to settlements if an earthquake occurs, and only a portion of the area is vibrating. In addition, it is also known that the mainland of Wangi-Wangi Island is not prone to landslides and liquefaction because γ<10-2.

Published: April 2024

The residential areas of North Padang Cermin are mainly located near the coastal area with a high level of groundwater use. Continuous groundwater use could potentially raise saltwater intrusion and lead to a decrease in groundwater quality. The research is conducted to identify the saltwater intrusion spread based on groundwater quality data. Geological observations were carried out to determine the geological conditions of the research area, followed by qualitative and quantitative hydrogeological observations by measuring TDS (Total Dissolved Solid), EC (Electrical Conductivity), pH, temperature, color, and taste. The Herzberg method was used to identify freshwater thickness against seawater intrusion.
Hydrogeologically, the research area has four aquifer systems: aquifers with fissure and intergranular flow, aquifers with intergranular flow and wide-distribution productivity, aquifers with fissure and intergranular flow and local distribution, and aquifers with rare groundwater. Groundwater flow has a radial pattern with the most extensive hydraulic gradient with a value of 0.16 m towards the eastern part of the research area.
The indications of seawater intrusion were found in the water samples measurement located on the east of the research area with water type of brackish–salty with a TDS value of 1,443 – 3,790 ppm and an EC of 3,000 – 7,580 (μS). Based on the Herzberg method, the distribution of seawater intrusion is estimated to occur at a depth of 36.8 m.

On May 7-9, 2015 the eruptive activity of Mount Karangetang released pyroclastic flows towards the Batuawang River for 3.6 km and hit Kora kora village which is located south of the Main Crater. This pyroclastic flow originated from lava flows during the effusive eruption period. MODIS satellite image hotspot data shows the lava flow extrusion rate and total volume at the peak began to increase since April 2015 and continued to show an increase until December 2015, with the estimated volume and lava extrusion rate on  April 22, 2015 reaching 4.16x106 m3 and 0.53 m3/s, respectively, and on December 9, 2015 the volume reached 1.67x107 m3 with a lava extrusion rate of 1.97 m3/s. The results of field checks show that this pyroclastic flow is dominated by block and ash, and by using numerical simulations show the deflection of pyroclastic flow in accordance with the flow field of the Batuawang river, and the splash of pyroclastic flow towards Kora kora village in addition to the location adjacent to the river flow and also controlled by the narrowing of the river channel due to the accumulation of material in the flow field. A total of 8 numerical simulation cases have been carried out, and in our opinion with an input volume of 500 x103 m3 and a flow material friction of 0.5 is a case that corresponds to a flow event that reaches a distance of 3.6 km from the Main Crater.  Taking into account the current activity conditions we used the same parameters to estimate the area that could be affected by pyroclastic flows in the future. Numerical simulation show that the pyroclastic flow traveled 5 km in a south-southwest direction from the top of the main crater.

Ethiopia has the 2nd largest human population in Africa and the largest livestock population on the continent. The country is mainly vulnerable to zoonotic diseases because its economy is primarily dependent on agriculture. Anthrax is a potentially fatal naturally occurring infectious disease of warm-blooded animals that primarily affects herbivorous mammals. Humans become infected incidentally through contact with diseased animals or contaminated animal products. The objective of this study aims to assess the animal and human health professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards anthrax diseases in Kellem Wollega Zone starting from July to September, 2022. A cross-sectional study design using questionnaires were used to evaluate the animal and human health professionals of the study area on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices on anthrax starting from July to September, 2022. A total of 390 respondents participated in the questionnaire survey. Of these, 190 were animal health professionals while 200 were human health professionals working in government institutions. The overall knowledge of human health professional 59% (62%, 60.5% attitude and 56.4%) practice. The overall knowledge of Veterinarians 71% (77.8%, 67.7% attitude and 67.5%). In general, in some districts they considered anthrax as a forgotten disease. The KAP of the human health professional participants towards anthrax was lower than veterinarians. Moreover, there was no consistent understanding of the disease among the participants.

Order–Disorder–Order Mesophase Transitions in Self-Assembled Mesoporous Alumina for Enhanced CO2 Adsorption
Authors: Seah Geok Leng , Corcoran Edward , Usadi Adam , McConnachie Jonathan , Tan Kwan W.
Published: April 2024

The addition of a hydrophobic micelle pore expander to self-assembling mesostructured hybrid materials enables access to new combinations with differently ordered mesophases and enhanced structural properties. Here we detail our investigations into the influence of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB) on the self-assembly behaviors of an F127 Pluronic triblock copolymer with an aluminum oxide sol additive. By varying the chemical mixing sequence, the TMB-to-F127 mass ratio and the acid-to-metal molar ratio, we observed that TMB exhibits dual roles, functioning both as a hydrophobic swelling agent and as a low dielectric co-solvent. This induces a mesophase transition from an ordered p6mm lattice to a disordered state and subsequently back to the ordered p6mm phase. We propose a structure formation mechanism based on the DLVO theory to describe the thermodynamics and kinetic mobility of the hybrid micelles during the order-disorder and ensuing disorder-order mesophase transitions. The resulting ordered mesoporous alumina structures, with considerable pore sizes (up to 12 nm), high surface areas (up to 314 m2/g) and pore volumes (up to 0.74 cm3/g), organized pore geometry and variable inorganic wall thicknesses, have shown excellent CO2 adsorption capacities and are appealing for various applications, including stable high temperature catalyst supports, separation and sensing.

Published: April 2024

Developing data-driven models has found successful applications in varying engineering problems. In capacitive devices like deionization and supercapacitors, there exists a potential to apply this data-driven machine learning (ML) model in optimizing it potential use in energy efficient separations or energy generation. However, these models are faced with limited datasets and even in large quantity, the datasets are incomplete, limiting their potential use for successful data-driven modeling. Here, the success of transfer learning in resolving the challenges with limited dataset was exploited. A two-step data-driven ML modeling framework named ImputeNet involving training with ML-imputed datasets and then with clean dataset was explored. Through data imputation and transfer learning, it is possible to develop data-driven model with acceptable metrics mirroring experimental measurement. Using the model, optimization studies using genetic algorithm were implemented to analyze the solution in the pareto optimal. This early insight can be used at an initial stage of experimental measurements to rapidly identify experimental conditions worthy of further investigation.
Investigation of the Free-Base Zr-Porphyrin MOFs as Humidity Sensors for an Indoor Setting
Authors: Prasetya Nicholaus , Okur Salih
Published: April 2024

Maintaining optimal relative humidity is paramount for human comfort. Therefore, the utilization of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as a humidity sensor platform holds significant promise due to its cost-effectiveness and high sensitivity. This study explores the efficacy of three free-base Zr porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) - namely MOF-525, MOF-545, and NU-902 - as sensitive materials for QCM-based humidity sensors. Our extended experimental findings reveal that these materials exhibit notable sensitivity, particularly within relative humidity ranges of 40% to 100%. However, we observe potential irreversible adsorption sites within the MOF-545 framework, hindering its ability to revert to its initial state after prolonged exposure. In light of this observation, we conduct periodic cycling experiments at relative humidity levels of 40-70% to evaluate the measurement repeatability and feasibility of these sensors for indoor applications. Interestingly, the periodic cycling study demonstrates that MOF-545 shows promising repeatability, positioning it as a strong contender for indoor humidity sensing. In contrast, MOF-525 may necessitate extended desorption time, and NU-902 displays diminished sensitivity at low relative humidity levels. Nevertheless, a preliminary treatment of the MOF-545 QCM sensor may be necessary to address irreversible adsorption sites and uphold measurement repeatability, as only reversible adsorption sites are currently accessible. This study underscores the potential of MOF-based QCM sensors for effective humidity monitoring in indoor environments, thus facilitating improved comfort and environmental control.

Glycopolymers Prepared by Alternating Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization Provide Access to Distinct, Multivalent Structures for the Probing of Biological Activity
Authors: Mendez Luz , Boadi Francis , Kennedy Mitchell , Bhatia Surita , Sampson Nicole
Published: April 2024

A myriad of biological processes are facilitated by ligand-receptor interactions. The low affinities of these interactions are typically enhanced by multivalent engagements to promote binding. However, each biological interaction requires a unique display and orientation of ligands. Therefore, the availability and diversity of synthetic multivalent probes are invaluable to the investigation of ligand-receptor binding interactions. Here, we report glycopolymers prepared from bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-6-ene-7-carboxamide and 4,7-dihydro-1,3-dioxepin or cyclohexene. These glycopolymers, synthesized by alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization, display precise ligand spacing as well as the option of a hydrophobic or acetal-functionalized polymer backbone. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data analysis revealed that these [4.2.0] glycopolymers adopted distinct conformations in solution. In aqueous media, [4.2.0]-dioxepin glycopolymers formed swollen polymer chains with rod-like, flexible structures while [4.2.0]-cyclohexene glycopolymers assumed compact, globular structures. To illustrate how these glycopolymers could aid in the exploration of ligand-receptor interactions, we incorporated the [4.2.0] glycopolymers into a biological assay to assess their potential as activators of acrosomal exocytosis (AE) in mouse sperm. The results of the biological assay confirmed that the differing structures of the [4.2.0] glycopolymers would evoke distinct biological responses; [4.2.0]-cyclohexene glycopolymers induced AE in mouse sperm while [4.2.0]-dioxepin glycopolymers did not. Herein, we provide two options for glycopolymers with low to moderate molecular weight dispersities and low cytotoxicity that can be implemented into biological assays based on the desired hydrophobicity, rigidity, and structural conformation of the polymer probe.

The purpose of this article is to consider the features of the international political situation in the modern conditions of the changing world order and the new role of the Russian Federation in it. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to look at the established model of international relations existing in the modern geopolitical space, highlight the problems of the modern world order, focus on the destructive nature of the interactions of existing military and political actors, analyze the systemic problems of the concept of globalization, from the point of view of the formation of foreign policy blocs. The article examines the main challenges faced by the modern world and ways to overcome them, as well as the search for new value orientations to ensure stability and progress, the impact of measures taken by Russia to protect its vital interests in the context of military-political confrontation with the collective West on the international system based on the hegemony of the United States and its allies. The idea of dismantling the current international order and deforming the model of international relations based on globalization is actualized, the need to search for common values that bring states closer together is analyzed against the background of the search for value determinants of the content of foreign policy. The aspects of a specific axiological complex of societies and countries that can become barriers to the development of constructive dialogue are highlighted. The conclusion is made about the need to preserve and strengthen the basic traditional national values in order to ensure the unity of society and the successful activity of the state both in domestic political activity and in the international arena. Periodical materials are used, as well as special literature on the problem.

Early disease detection of black gram plant leaf using cloud computing based YOLO V8 model
Authors: Motru Vijaya Raju , P. Krishna Subbarao , A. Sudhir Babu
Published: April 2024

Plant diseases pose a major threat to agricultural productivity and economies dependent on it. Monitoring plant growth and phenotypes is vital for early disease detection. In Indian agriculture, black-gram (Vigna mungo) is an important pulse crop afflicted by viral infections like Urdbean Leaf Crinkle Virus (ULCV), causing stunted growth and crinkled leaves. Such viral epidemics lead to massive crop losses and financial distress for farmers. According to the FAO, plant diseases cost countries $220 billion annually. Hence, there is a need for quick and accurate diagnosis of crop diseases like ULCV. Recent advances in computer vision and image processing provide promising techniques for automated non-invasive disease detection using leaf images. The key steps involve image pre-processing, segmentation, informative feature extraction, and training machine learning models for reliable classification. In this work, an automated ULCV detection system is developed using black gram leaf images. The Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) technique extracts discriminative features from leaves. Subsequently, a deep convolutional neural network called YOLO (You Only Look Once) is leveraged to accurately diagnose ULCV based on the extracted features. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the GLCM-YOLO pipeline in identifying ULCV-infected leaves with high precision. Such automated diagnosis can aid farmers by providing early disease alerts, thereby reducing crop losses due to viral epidemics.

Civil engineering education is a discipline that endeavors to find the best way through various pedagogical methods to teach civil engineering to prospective civil engineers. Civil engineering education is in the spotlight along with developments in construction technology and its application in learning. Thus, civil engineering education offers a broad field of research in the context of education and construction sciences. Therefore, investigating the evolution of educational research and technology trends in civil engineering education is of interest. In this context, we performed a bibliometric analysis of 545 Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) global publications in the field of civil engineering education published during the period 1967 to 2022. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was conducted using the R language-based software Biblioshiny. The research results show that, first, research trends in civil engineering education in the 55-year period were divided into 6 themes, namely: engineering education, civil engineering education or construction education, fields of civil engineering, technology in engineering education, global and social aspects, and other. Second, the United States is a leader in civil engineering education research, as most authors and journals are from this country. Third, the evolution of educational technology in civil engineering education can be described in five eras: 1) simple software era (1976–1990); 2) geographic information systems (GIS) and virtual reality (VR) era (1991–2000); 3) multimedia and e-learning era (2001–2010); 4) building information modeling (BIM) era (2011–2022); and 5) the forthcoming era (2023−future). Using computers as analysis and visualization tools became increasingly accurate and real, such as the integration of VR technology and incorporation of BIM technology. These findings might help researchers regarding the future direction of research and educational technology in civil engineering.

There is a growing interest in exploring the structure of student academic writing across different disciplinary backgrounds, including the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) field. However, despite the availability of relevant literature on STEM student writing, research on the structure of STEM students’ research introductions, particularly within the secondary education context, remains essentially scant. Consequently, STEM student research writers should be redirected towards a genre-based academic writing practice to meet the rhetorical demands of their discourse community. Drawing on this research gap, this qualitative genre analytic study was conducted to explore the structure of STEM students’ research introductions, with an emphasis on the macrostructures and the move/step occurrences. Ten research introductions submitted as preliminary examination papers by the Grade 11 STEM students in an online research writing course at a private Philippine university were collected and further screened via Turnitin, ensuring their authenticity. Following Biber et al.’s (2007) top-down corpus-based discourse analytic framework, moves and steps in the research introductions were carefully analyzed, with Swales’ (1990, 2004) Creating A Research Space (CARS) model as basis for move/step identification. The findings indicated variations in the move structure of students’ research introductions, with the majority deviating from Swales’ (1990, 2004) model. While the students employed all three moves by Swales (1990, 2004), they hardly established a niche in writing a research introduction. The study highlights important implications for pedagogy, curriculum, and teacher professional development in the context of STEM research writing.
