ASPECT AFFECTS VEGETATION SUCCESSION AFTER TREE CLEARANCE IN A GRASSY WOODLAND IN TASMANIA
Authors: Roberts L , Kirkpatrick James
Published: November 2024

Old field succession is the process of vegetation recolonisation of abandoned sites in a passive method of restoration. Slope aspect could be expected to affect the nature of succession after clearance. We investigated variation in paired cleared and uncleared plots between three aspects in grassy woodland in northeastern Tasmania. PERMANOVA was used to assess relationship of species composition to clearance status, site aspect, their interaction, soil depth, litter cover, bare ground cover, rock cover and wood cover. Ordination was used to visualise similarities between combined aspect and clearance classes. Chi-squared was used to test for deviation of frequency of species between the aspect and clearance classes. Basal area of trees was tested for differences between clearance and aspect combinations. It was found that aspect, clearance, woody debris and rocks all affected species composition. An interaction between aspect and clearance class indicated that responses to clearance were influenced by aspect. Vegetation was most similar between clearance classes on the northwest aspect, where Acacia mearnsii was abundant, but limited on other aspects. Because the cleared area was not ploughed or fertilised, native grass and herb species persisted well on all aspects, making the cleared area as valuable for nature conservation as the uncleared area.

Authors: Himmah Faiqotul , Dipa Dharmaputra Dwi Satria Dipa , Ismail
Published: November 2024

This remaining life assessment assessed the thickness and corrosion rate characteristics of A516 Grade 70 carbon steel, a material widely used in the fabrication of pressure vessels and boilers, including spherical tanks. The material was evaluated through ultrasonic non-destructive testing, with the aim of determining the minimum thickness and corrosion rate, based on field data collected by the inspector. The data was then analyzed to determine the minimum allowable thickness and estimate the remaining life of the pressure vessel based on API 510 standard. The study results showed that all components examined were within safe limits for use, above the required thickness (actual thickness > required thickness). The calculation of the highest corrosion rate is on the Top Head Plate 7 component, which is 0.067 mm/year, so this component has the shortest remaining life, which is 54.06 years. This study also calculates the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) value which is a reference to ensure the safety of pressure vessels when operated. The working pressure when operated must not exceed the calculated MAWP value. The calculated MAWP value is in the range of 6.99 to 8.12 psi.

Acute Stress Effect on Delay Discounting and Cannabis Demand among Individuals Endorsing High-frequency Cannabis Use
Authors: Chang Yi-Chun , Rubey Robin , Ladd Benjamin
Published: November 2024

Objective: Limited research examines the effect of stress on behavioral economic constructs among individuals using cannabis. This study examined whether the effects of acute stress on delay discounting differed in terms of cannabis use status and whether cannabis demand changed after stress induction. Method: Participants were two groups (n = 39 endorsing high-frequency cannabis use and n = 48 not endorsing cannabis use) of young adults (75.86% female, 67.82% White, Mage = 21.64 years). During an online Zoom session, participants completed a prestress assessment, the Trier Mental Challenge Test (TMCT) stress induction, and then a poststress assessment. Results: Subjective stress increased significantly across groups after stress induction (p < .001, ƞp2 = .23); no group X time interaction was observed. There were no differences in delay discounting across time or groups. For the use group only, cannabis demand intensity (p = .006, d = .50), but not other demand indices, significantly increased following the acute stress induction. Coping motives did not moderate the association between the change in subjective stress and the change in delay discounting or the change in any cannabis demand indices among the use group. Conclusions: Cannabis demand might exert a more influential role than delay discounting in shaping decisions related to cannabis use while experiencing acute stress. However, the practical implications of this finding warrant further research due to the relatively small difference in hypothetical cannabis use observed. Study design limitations that could impact the findings or lead to null results are discussed to inform future research.
The poetics of form in digimodernist prose
Authors: Zozulia Dmytro
Published: November 2024

Nowadays, in the era of rapid development of digital technologies, which the British researcher A. Kirby calls digimodernism, literature is undergoing significant changes, first of all, at the level of form. Traditional paper editions are being transformed, and completely new phenomena are emerging in the electronic space, the existence of which was impossible before the advent of computers, the Internet, social networks, etc.

In particular, in recent decades, new prose forms have emerged and developed significantly, and the need for a detailed analysis of these forms makes this study relevant. The purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the peculiarities of the poetics of the prose form in the era of digitalism, to determine what features of digital textuality are inherent in them. The subject of this study is ergodic, network (in particular, Facebook novel) and interactive literature, hypertext novel as an example of proto-digital prose, LitRPG, fanfiction, visual novel and generative prose. The study uses intermedial, comparative, and structuralist methods of analysis.

As a result of the study, it was found that in the era of digimodernism, traditional paper publications can be changed by adding textography (computer code and Internet correspondence) and QR codes, thus combining with the virtual space. Using examples from world and Ukrainian literature, we have examined the hypertext novel as an example of proto-digimodernist literature, and found that prose forms in the literature of the digital age are mostly interactive and multimedia, represent multilevel artistic phenomena and require the reader to interact with the text on a deeper level. The novelty of the study is that we have determined that prose forms of the digital age are characterized by such features of digital textuality as onwardness, haphazardness, evanescence, reformulation and intermediation of textual roles, anonymous, multiple and social authorship, the ﬂuid-bounded text, and the nature of electronic-digitality.

Prospects for further research are related to the need to analyze and classify poetic forms of digimodernist literature.
“I love to love everything…” Hryhorii Falkovych’s poetry for children
Authors: Maryna Kovinko Maryna
Published: November 2024

Hryhorii Falkovych is one of the most famous and unique children’s poets of our time. His work successfully combines Ukrainian and Jewish cultures, touches on important moral issues, presents them in an interesting and accessible form for children, and demonstrates a number of idiosyncratic features. Despite the wide popularity of the author and the high artistic value of his lyrics, it remains little researched. A comprehensive study of the poet’s work is of great importance for literary science, since Falkovych’s poems vividly represent children’s literature of the 21st century, and without understanding this artistic work, it is impossible to form a complete picture of modern poetry for the youngest readers. The article is aimed at researching the themes and poetics of the writer’s lyrical works. The scientific novelty is that for the first time the key images and artistic means of Falkovich’s lyrics are analyzed in detail. The work on the material of specific poems shows how the author skillfully uses a subtle sense of children’s psychology. The lines of the considered poems prove that the author not only entertains his audience, but also unobtrusively educates them, and in his approach aesthetics always prevail over ethics. Falkovych’s poetry focuses on important moral and philosophical issues: finding oneself and choosing a life goal, generosity and friendliness, kindness and selflessness, family relationships, attitudes toward animals, the culture of one’s own people, and universal human values. The pedagogy of the artist’s lyrics for children lacks direct didactics and is full of humor and good-natured irony. The reader’s attention is also drawn to the author’s occasionalisms, play with words and sounds, interesting images and unexpected situations that arise on the contrast between a child’s and an adult’s perception of the world. Great importance is attached to children’s fantasy, which is laid in the basis of the trope of amazement, which is most often used by the writer and with the help of which he imitates the view of the world through children’s eyes. The study concludes that the peculiarity of Falkovych’s lyrics for children lies primarily in the fact that the author does not resort to superior mentoring and prefers play at all levels of the text, including phonetic, word-forming, lexical, figurative and plot.
Models of structuring English news texts
Authors: Talavira Nataliia
Published: November 2024

The relevance of the article is determined by the attention of modern linguists to the study of texts of various genres and their impact on the target audience. The object of the research is news texts, which resort to convincing the addressee of the truthfulness of the events described, influencing their perception, judgment and worldview. There arises a problem of how news texts guide their readers in forming a particular view on the event. The persuasive nature of news texts has made it possible to study them with the help of rhetorical modes of persuasion: ethos, logos, and pathos. The purpose of the research is to establish models of structuring news texts at the level of their composition and linguistic ornamentation. The novelty of the work consists in the application of the constructionist approach, based on morphosyntactic constructions as pairings of form, meaning and functions, stored at the mental level. Constructs as speech realization of constructions represent various relations of the surrounding world. During the research, the method of continuous sampling, component, contextual and rhetorical analyses were applied. The research material comprises 150 news texts on the English website BBC News.

The results of the study. Models of structuring news texts reflect their impact on the target audience. Depending on the type of construct and its placement in the headline, lead, post-lead and the main text of the news, three models are distinguished: descriptive, authorizing and emotive. According to the descriptive model, news texts appeal to logos via arguments, judgments, and facts and are characterized by focusing, that is, the repetition of identical or synonymous agentive constructs in successive paragraphs. The authorizing model of news texts structuring is based on ethos, that is, appeal to famous personalities, experts and witnesses of the event as a mode of persuasion and a source of information. This model is embodied by predicative constructs indicating speech process in the headline or lead. The emotive model of arranging news texts appeals to pathos and is represented by emotive predicative constructs or evaluative pairings. Further research foresees considering news reports about the speeches of famous personalities and politicians and narratives using the constructionist approach.
Biographical factors of pseudonyms of the Ukrainian writers in DP camps
Authors: Prosalova Vira
Published: November 2024

The article focuses on the pseudonyms of those Ukrainian writers who, after Stalinist repression and concentration camps, were imprisoned in DP camps in the postwar period. The label of an ‘enemy of the people’ forced them to make every effort to avoid repatriation. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the biographical factors that influenced the pseudonymy of expatriate authors.

The study focuses on the biographical information, personal traits, family circumstances, and often the place of imprisonment, which determined the range of authorial reflections in the postwar period and found explicit or implicit expression in the fictitious names. In order to achieve this goal, the author uses historical, comparative and biographical research methods, which allow, on the one hand, to reconstruct the biographical conflicts of each individual author, and, on the other, to consider non-returnees as a rather diverse community united by similar desires and goals.

The study found that the writers created pseudonyms from the names of Ukrainian ethnic regions, cities, villages, rivers, islands, plants or animals, and their own or their fathers’ names. The authors hid behind their mothers’ maiden names, as well as the names of famous literary characters. To avoid repatriation, they used pseudo-andronyms (Kateryna Perelisna — Klym Pyshchyk, Olha Petyk — Volodymyr Olhovych) and pseudo-hybrids (Volodymyr Kulish — Seraphyma Husochka). However, they rarely used anagrams to create pseudonyms.

The novelty of the study includes the identification of the functional load of the removed names, which served not only for the conspiracy of expatriates, but also for their self-presentation in the foreign-speaking world, and often turned out to be a sign of the emergence of a new author’s role.
INNOVATIVE TRENDS IN VOCATIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION: A CAREER COUNSELOR FOR THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL
Authors: Khoruzha Liudmyla , Bratko Mariia , Hrynevych Liliya
Published: November 2024

The article considers the problem of training career counselors for the New Ukrainian School as a modern innovative trend. It is updated in the context of the introduction of three-year specialized education in Ukraine. A career counselor performs the function of a mediator between a person and his or her possible choice of profession, helps him or her identify and use his or her talents and abilities to achieve significant goals. A content analysis of scientific sources on the problem are carried out, which originates at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Modern foreign scientific researchers are highlighted, for example, the theory of vocational choice, as well as other theories of career development. The analysis and systematization of research on career development made it possible for scientists to systematize five groups of theories: substantive, procedural, substantive-procedural, constructivist, and broad explanation theories. It is considered the development of Ukrainian scientists on the issues of career guidance and career counseling: a scientific thesaurus on the problem is formulated, and relevant scientific research is carried out. However, theoretical generalizations have not been implemented in practice: Ukrainian higher education institutions do not provide comprehensive systematic professional training for career specialists. The authors of the article outline some prospects for the professional training of relevant specialists; define the range of potential job responsibilities of a career counselor; present a model framework of competencies of a career counselor working in a Ukrainian general secondary education institution; and present the content of innovative educational disciplines necessary for the professional and pedagogical training of future career counselors in the New Ukrainian School.
Poligami Dalam Prespektif Al-Qur`An Dan Hadis
Authors: Aulia Naja Tsabita , Ulum M Wildanul , Rohmah Siti Solikhatul
Published: November 2024

The practice of polygamy existed long before Islam and became a permitted habit. Unfortunately, many people think that polygamy is a practice that only became known after the advent of Islam. Ironically, Islam is considered to have a monopoly and legalizes polygamy. In reality, Islam came to limit the movement towards polygamous marriages with certain limits. Justice in polygamy is an obligation that must receive special attention, because the word "fair" is very easy to say but difficult to implement. In this research the author focuses on verses from the Koran and hadith related to polygamy, namely; Surah An-Nisa' verse 3 and several authentic hadiths related to polygamy. This type of research is completely library research (library research) taking data from literature that is related to the research theme. The analysis technique in this writing uses a content analysis model by exploring and analyzing the thoughts or views of scholars regarding verses of the Koran and hadith related to polygamy.
Konsep Kafaah Pernikahan Islam Dalam Adat Jawa
Authors: Ulum Wildanul
Published: November 2024

The concept of kafaah in Islamic marriage refers to equality or equality between the prospective bride and groom in various aspects such as religion, social status, economics and moral values. In the Javanese traditional context, this concept has a unique adaptation because marriage is not only seen as an individual bond, but also as a union between families and communities. In Javanese tradition, aspects of family harmony and harmony between social groups have a significant role. Kafaah in traditional Javanese weddings does not only focus on religious compatibility or socio-economic status, but also includes cultural values ​​such as courtesy, etiquette and respect for ancestors. Even so, there is a meeting point between the principle of kafaah in Islam and Javanese custom, namely emphasizing the importance of harmony to maintain harmony and sustainability of relationships in the household and community. This research aims to understand how the concept of kafaah is applied in Javanese traditional marriages and how these two values ​​interact with each other in social practice.

Authors: Dadashev A. Sh. , Kafarov E. S. , Zenin O. K. , Miltykh I. S.
Published: November 2024

Background. The study using numerical modeling of functional properties (conductive, distributive, pillar) of digital models of 4 types of bifurcations of the intraorgan arterial vasculature is a valuable tool to find its morphometric reference and subsequently the criterion of normality.

Aim: To establish the functional properties of different types of splenic arterial bifurcations through their numerical modeling based on morphometry results.

Material and Methods. Modelling was carried out on the basis of previously obtained morphometric characteristics of different types of splenic arterial bifurcations: type 1, the diameter of the parent (proximal) segment (D) is not equal to the diameters of the larger (dmax) and smaller (dmin) subsidiary branches (distal segments) D ≠ dmax ≠ dmin; type 2, D = dmax, D ≠ dmin; type 3, D ≠ dmax, dmin = dmax; type 4, D = dmax = dmin. The ANSYS Student computer software was used to calculate the values of splenic arterial bifurcation indices characterizing the conductive and support functions, and the Vasculograph computer software was used to calculate the distribution function.

Results. It was found that the value of the bifurcation parameter of splenic arterial bifurcations of different types characterizing: 1) conductive function decreases in the order of type 1 complete asymmetry, type 2 lateral asymmetry, type 4 complete symmetry and type 3 unilateral symmetry; 2) the distributive function decreases in the direction of type 1 complete asymmetry, type 2 lateral asymmetry, type 3 unilateral symmetry, and type 4 complete symmetry 3) the pilar function decreases in the direction of type 1 complete asymmetry, type 2 lateral asymmetry, type 3 unilateral symmetry, and type 4 complete symmetry.

Conclusion. The obtained results indicate that different types of splenic arterial bifurcations are oriented to fulfil heterogeneous functions. This should be taken into account when seeking a reference and subsequently a morphometric criterion of splenic vasculature norm, which can be used for radial diagnostics.
GAMIFICATION IN EDUCATION: BOOSTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
Authors: Qudsi Harim
Published: November 2024

Gamification in education has emerged as a transformative approach to enhancing student engagement and improving learning outcomes. By integrating game design elements into educational environments, educators can create dynamic and interactive experiences that motivate learners to participate actively in their studies. This study explores the theoretical foundations of gamification, highlighting its psychological underpinnings, such as intrinsic motivation and the flow state, which contribute to enhanced engagement. The paper examines various gamification strategies, including point systems, leaderboards, and badges, and their impact on student motivation, collaboration, and retention of knowledge.
Furthermore, this study analyzes the effectiveness of gamification across different educational settings and age groups, illustrating how these techniques can be tailored to diverse learning contexts. Empirical evidence is presented, showcasing significant improvements in student performance and engagement levels when gamified elements are incorporated into traditional curricula. Challenges associated with implementing gamification, such as the potential for fostering unhealthy competition and the need for careful design to align with educational goals, are also discussed.
Ultimately, this paper posits that gamification is not merely a trend but a fundamental shift in pedagogical practice that harnesses the motivational power of games to foster deeper learning. By creating a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment, educators can leverage gamification to meet the diverse needs of students, encouraging them to take ownership of their learning journey. The findings underscore the importance of ongoing research to refine gamification strategies and explore their long-term impacts on educational outcomes.

Authors: Chowdhury Suvashree Roy
Published: November 2024

Blended learning is a novel concept that supports both the offline and online learning.  This system of learning amalgamates the traditional method and ICT (Information and Communication) teaching and learning.  This mode of teaching and learning espouses both the chalk and blackboard method of disbursing knowledge as well as computers and virtual platforms. Blended learning is a well-established and versatile educational approach. This mode of learning and teaching combines traditional in-person learning with online components. It includes both face-to-face classroom sessions and supplements these with online learning materials. This combination enhances learner engagement across a spectrum of learning styles (Claned, 2023). This present study targets to find out undergraduates’ approach towards blended learning. Some demographics have also been undertaken. Objective: The study objectives was to find out significant differences among undergraduates in relation to certain demographic aspects. Hypotheses: as per the objective Null hypotheses were prepared. Research Design: The study followed a descriptive survey research design. Statistics: As per suitability both inferential and descriptive statistics were applied. Result: A gender difference was noticed in terms of approach towards blended learning. However, result outcome also revealed other aspects of approach towards blended learning. Inferences could be drawn about the attitude of the undergraduates from other statistical result outcome in this study.

Published: November 2024

The rice productivity in Gondel Village, Kedungtuban District, Blora Regency, Central Java, has declined. Factors such as attacks by plant pests and diseases (OPT), climate change (DPI) impact, and decreasing soil quality are the leading causes of crop failure. This training aims to enhance the understanding and skills of Gondel Village farmers in making biofertilizers and introducing environmentally friendly pest and disease control methods. The activity involved 40 farmers from 8 farmer groups (Gemah Ripah, Margo Mulyo, Ngudi Makmur, Sido Dadi, Sido Makmur, Tambah Makmur, Tambah Rizki, and Sri Mulyo), with each group represented by five farmers. The training methods included analysis of soil chemicals, socialization, practical propagation of Trichoderma sp. on rice media, and biofertilizer production. Pre-test and post-tests were conducted to assess the improvement in farmers' knowledge. Trichoderma biofertilizer was formulated using carriers such as a) Manure and b) Compost, zeolite, and humic acid. The results of the soil chemical properties analysis showed that farmers' use of chemical fertilizers was very intensive, resulting in very high levels of phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) and high levels of potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and cation exchange capacity (KTK). Evaluation results indicated that the training significantly improved the farmers' knowledge of biofertilizer production in theory and practice. However, some farmers still need further guidance on the propagation of the biological agent Trichoderma sp.

Revegetation based on the ornamental landscape is one of the efforts to reduce the surface of urban heat islands (SUHI), the intensity of which is always influenced by land surface temperature (LST). The focus of the PBM scheme community service program in the scope of PKM is disaster mitigation due to climate change, significantly reducing the risk of disasters due to LST. The program aims to reduce SUHI through vegetation modification using edible and ornamental plants as elements forming the landscape with a public education approach and revegetation actions. The results of PBM-PKM in public education activities show the high enthusiasm of the community in participating in activities and show that the level of partner understanding of the concept of revegetation has reached 100%. As a result of revegetation activities, as many as 342 edible plants and ornamental plant seeds invested in the community were successfully planted in the Asy-Syifaa Mosque, Kendari City landscape. The achievement of increasing the level of community empowerment shows a significant increase in understanding regarding the importance of creating vegetation in the yard landscape to reduce the risk of disasters due to rising LST through vegetation, which has been understood 100% by target partners. The results of monitoring and evaluating the growth of edible plants and ornamental plants as landscape-forming elements were able to grow well in the Asy-Syifaa Mosque area.

Sumedang still struggles with a stunting problem; based on the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), the percentage of stunted children in Sumedang is the highest among all cities in West Java. Health Cadres have a very potential role in stunting prevention from an early age, providing education about the importance and selection of healthy and balanced nutrition food during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the utilization of alternative food ingredients to improve the quality of nutrition in family food when conducting activities carried out at the Posyandu. This activity aims to enhance health cadres' knowledge through nutrition and stunting education and encourage the utilization of eggshell flour in creating family food innovations to prevent stunting from an early age. This activity uses pre-test and post-test questionnaires for measuring cadres’ knowledge about balanced nutrition and stunting prevention and a food creation competition based on eggshell flour, which is evaluated based on five criteria: creativity, nutritional facts, taste, texture, and presentation/serving. This activity effectively enhanced the knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and stunting prevention, as indicated by a significant increase in the average score before and after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.005. Furthermore, the food creation competition demonstrated the substantial potential of eggshell flour in preparing a diverse range of nutritious family food, including both savory and sweet dishes/snacks. This activity improved health cadres' knowledge and expanded the variety of healthy food through the innovative utilization of eggshell flour.

Published: November 2024

Using the isoniazid in antituberculosis therapy can lead to mutations in the KatG and inhA genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, resulting in the development of resistance and necessitating modifications to the isoniazid compound. This study aims to assess the potential and level of toxicity of modified compounds, namely 4-pyridine carboxylic acid, pyridine aldehyde, and methyl pyridine, on the mycolic acid receptor through a molecular docking approach. PyRx was employed for the docking process using a protocol with an exhaustiveness of 106 and a center grid box at X=42.424, Y=22.4321, and Z=46.6391. Additionally, the ProTox-II website was used to determine the toxicity level of the test compounds. The results obtained from this research consist of the respective affinity values of the test compounds: -6, -5.4, and -5.2 kcal/mol. The toxicity levels of the test compounds are as follows: class 5, class 4, and class 4. All test compounds interact with amino acids on the target protein, specifically with residue numbers Histidine (HIS A:8), Phenylalanine (PHE A:142) through hydrogen bonding, Leucine (LEU A:95) through pi-Sigma (π) bonding, and Valine (VAL A:12) through pi-Alkyl (π) bonding. In conclusion, the 4-pyridine carboxylic acid compound exhibits potential as a promising drug candidate but comes with a high level of toxicity

This study aims to analyze the development of Islamic character education through the Naqsyabandiyah Qadiriyah Order among the Sasak Wetu Telu community. As part of the local Islamic tradition, the Wetu Telu community has a unique approach to religious practice and social life. The approach of this order is not only aimed at strengthening spiritual understanding, but also at shaping the moral character of the community through Islamic values, such as honesty, patience, and discipline. The study used a qualitative approach with a field study method involving observation and in-depth interviews with order leaders and the local community. The results of the study indicate that the teachings of the Naqsyabandiyah Qadiriyah Order play a significant role in shaping adaptive Islamic character among the Sasak Wetu Telu such as strengthening Islamic identity, impacts on personal and social life, the role of exemplary tarekat figures, character formation through spiritual discipline, integration of Islam with local culture especially in terms of developing spirituality integrated with local socio-cultural values. These findings confirm that the integration between the order and character education can be a contextual and relevant model of Islamic character development for communities with local Islamic traditions.

This study explores the linguistic barriers faced by street vendors in Kuta Mandalika, a popular tourist destination in Indonesia, and their impact on communication, job performance, and customer satisfaction. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, the research subject is 13 street vendors who has an ability to communicate with foreign customer, the research involved semi-structured interviews and observations of street vendors who interact regularly with international tourists, the data analysis will be conducting thematic analysis to analyze the data. The findings highlight several major challenges, including difficulties in understanding foreign accents, limited English vocabulary, pronunciation issues, and reliance on non-verbal communication. The noisy environment where vendors operate further complicates these communication barriers. These linguistic challenges lead to frequent misunderstandings, incorrect orders, and customer dissatisfaction, significantly affecting the vendors' business performance and customer relations. This research is rarely talked by researcher as in the previous study the researcher is focusing on semantic area but that’s quite too deep to learn by street vendors and an English beginner, this approach will contribute to the overall economic vitality of the Mandalika region, benefiting both vendors and the local community.

Experimental corrosion tests and theoretical calculation were conduct to investigate the corrosion inhibition mechanism of black cumin seed extract for copper in 1 M H2SO4 solution. Electrochemical testing using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) method showed that BCS adsorbed to form a protective layer on the copper surface with high inhibition efficiency at 500 ppm concentration (73,35%). Increasing the BCS concentration up to 500 ppm causes the charge transfer resistance increase in the EIS measurement, while the corrosion current density measured by PDP decreases. The values of charge transfer resistance and corrosion current density at 500 ppm BCS are respectively 3687 .cm2 and 2.86 μA.cm-2. The BCS is a mixed inhibitor (anodic and cathodic) that adsorbs physically on the copper surface and obey the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model. Quantum chemical calculation and molecular dynamic simulation show that the studied BCS molecules adsorb strongly on the copper surface with parallel orientation mode. The methyl linoleate (MLIN) molecules from BCS produce the most stable adsorption energy of the other studied compound molecules as a result of molecular dynamic simulation.
