Abstract
This research talks about the role of patron-client relations in inclusive urban design. The research also talks about the role of patron-client relations in helping cultural communities access various city facilities to improve the quality of life and its sustainability. This research is important because cultural communities in urban life without patron assistance often find it difficult to access the city’s physical and social facilities. In addition, patron-client relations have only discussed matters related to economic and political paradigms. For this reason, this study tries to state that patron-client relations also have an important role in advancing cultural communities and advocating inclusive urban design. This research uses qualitative methods and makes Miss Tjitjih (MT) cultural groups as research subjects. This research uses a case study approach to obtain opinions from MT cultural communities under the care of city authorities. The opinions of MT group members led the research to uncover the patron-client relationship model as one of the essential elements in inclusive urban design. The study found that patron-client relationships connect cultural communities with the city’s physical and social facilities. The study also found that patron-client relationships influence the sustainability and quality of life of cultural communities under patron protection.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Inclusive public space is mandatory to confirm that our public spaces are wide-ranging for all so that everyone has impartial access to the free valuable resources provided by shared spaces. In Kampung Bustaman Semarang, street alleys, as the representative of public space, become the dynamic hidden structure. Bustaman, a culinary centre for goat processing, is one of the historic old kampungs in Semarang City’s centre, founded in colonial times. This goat processing-based economic activity uses outdoor space in its production process This research explores the spatial pattern of inclusiveness based on goat processing in this area. This research uses qualitative methods, with direct observation and interviews with community leaders, the butcher, the goat head cleaner, and the goat curry cooker in July 2023. This qualitative method captures inclusive economic spatial patterns based on goat processing activities. The research results show that the inclusive space for goat-based economic activities is located in the central alley which is used for processing and production activities. The analysis found that although this goat-based activity is polluting and impacts environmental and visual degradation, the community has accepted the existence of economic activities and feels inclusive in the outdoor space due to the local wisdom and being part of a family in Kampung Bustaman.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The ship follows the trade, meaning that transportation (ship) follows the development of trade, which is an appropriate term for current urban practices. The conservative arrangement of the city structure might no longer be feasible to define the actual urban planning practice in the digital platform era. The premier corridor within the city has always been privileged for economic activity thanks to its high accessibility. This research discusses how digital platforms have given a new meaning to urban practices and their environmental impact. The digital mobility platform enabled the less favorable urban hierarchy to take economic advantage thanks to the omnipresence virtue of the platforms to interconnect customers and producers. This research employed quantitative analysis using a multitemporal Land use map combined with a series of questionnaires conducted within the educational area of Diponegoro University and its surrounding area. The findings provided a new statement on urban practices that corroborate with the behavior transformation led by Digital Platforms. Thus, the transformation toward urban digital platform services has significantly impacted the concept of the new urban structure.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
One of the consequences of urbanization is the need for a well-connected public transport system to ensure effective movement of citizens in urban areas. Modern public transportation systems in lower to lower middle income countries are still in their infancy compared to other major cities around the world. Providing reliable and affordable intermodal transportation is a significant challenge in Indonesia, especially in developing cities like Semarang. The high volume of traffic in the city causes critical congestion due to the imbalance between transportation facilities, mobility management, and travel behavior. The concept of Bus Rapid Transit was adopted as a transportation policy for mobility sustainability and introduced in Semarang to reduce congestion and car dependency. However, there is still a lack of integration between the intermodal transportation system and passenger facilities, which may affect the willingness to use public transport. This study aims to explore the intermodal transportation system in relation to public transport facilities in Semarang. This study uses a quantitative approach in the form of descriptive analysis in the form of both descriptive statistics and descriptive spatial. The research revealed that an intermodal transportation system that integrates modes such as airports, ports, and railway stations with BRT public transport can improve travel efficiency and enhance the bus transit experience. Integration can be implemented in the form of physical integration, information integration, and fare integration. The purpose of this research is to see the extent to which intermodal integration of public transportation occurs in Semarang to see the sustainability of mobility. The result of this study is that Semarang must improve to create intermodal integration by improving pedestrian ways, information integration, and fare integration.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) emerges as a viable solution to combat traffic congestion by prioritising pedestrian movement over motorised vehicles. Focusing on enhancing walking comfort and promoting the use of public transport, alongside fostering urban diversity and livability, is crucial for developing transit-oriented areas. Walkability, denoting the pedestrian-friendly nature of spaces, comprises physical walkability and perceived walkability influenced by behaviour, culture, and local context. In Jayapura City, characterised by mountainous terrain and limited urban space, mobility challenges persist, driving the reliance on walking for commuting due to inadequate motorised vehicle access. Despite steep terrain, a culture of walking thrives, surpassing standard physical walkability criteria. The research conducted in the Mesran Terminal area of Jayapura City employs a rationalistic deductive approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to assess physical and perceived walkability. Findings indicate a disparity between perception and physical conditions, highlighting the necessity of aligning transit-oriented development strategies with local context and walking lifestyle. Synchronising perceived and physical walkability forms the basis for effective urban planning, particularly in areas like the Mesran Terminal, to enhance mobility and urban quality of life.

Authors: Nguyen Duyen Thuy T. , Khanh Nguyen Linh 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves of different ages grown in Binh Phuoc, Vietnam were harvested for methanol extraction, total polyphenol content (TPC) and biological activity determination. Three groups of age were collected for research including leaves 5-10 days-old (L1), 25-30 days-old (L2) and 45-50 days-old (L3). The TPC determined (mg GAE/g crude extract) in leaf methanolic extract (LME) was 64.43 ± 2.57; 47.75 ± 3.11 and 24.8 4 ± 1.72 for L1, L2, L3 respectively. Anti-bacterial activity of 5-10 days old leaf extracts (100 mg/mL) showed the significant results against Escherichia coli (15.67 ± 1.58 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (12.67 ± 1.76 mm) compared to extracts from other ages. This group extract also revealed anticoagulant activity with longer Prothrombin time (PT) lasting for 26.153 ± 1.6(s). As a result, 5-10 days-old leaf extract was conducted for antibacterial serum formulation. After 14 days of preservation in different conditions, serum preserved in cold temperature 2-8°C (NT1) showed S. aureus resistant activity (15.23 ± 0.76 mm) more slightly effective than the one in room temperature 30-32°C (NT2) as 11.17 ± 0.62 mm, which initially stated the significance of temperature on antibacterial activity of final serum product during preservation.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Fusarium oxysporum is the causal agent of wilt in tomato, which is one of the most destructive fungal diseases. This fungal disease strain is an important mycotoxin producer that causes several negative effects on animal and human health. Bacteria, which are found in various natural environments including the rhizosphere soil displayed fungicidal activity against fungal phytopathogens. In our study, we investigated the antifungal activity of isolated bacteria which inhibited the growth of the plant pathogen F. oxysporum causing wilt disease in tomatoes. In total of 48 isolated bacterial strains, 9 strains showed antifungal activity against F. oxysporum using co-culture method. Two bacterial strains T1-4 and T10-1 exhibited strong antagonistic activity against fungal pathogen with control values of 50.8 and 48.6%, respectively. Furthermore, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of these two strains also inhibited the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum. In the 96-well plate assay, the culture filtrate of T1-4 showed the strongest antifungal activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.25%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, T1-4 was identified as Bacillus sp.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) present promising technology for sustainable wastewater treatment and energy generation. In this study, we operated an algae-MFC system to investigate its performance in terms of electricity generation and wastewater treatment capacity. The MFC reactor, with the support of a separate algae vessel providing oxygen-rich water to the cathode chamber, was continuously operated with varying organic loading rates to the anode with the synthetic wastewater. Results showed that the algae-MFC achieved a stable electricity generation, reaching a maximum power density of 840 mW m−3 at the highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rate (0.30 kg m−3 h−1). Furthermore, the system could remove 75% of COD at a short HRT of 4 h. Coulombic efficiency was unexpectedly low, from 0.35% to 0.70%, indicating the need of energy recovery improvement from wastewater. A challenge of internal resistance increase over time was identified and discussed. Future prospects were discussed including the algae integrating directly into the cathode chamber to enhance the nitrogen removal and to explore the co-cultivation possibility of microalgae and autotrophic bacteria for a simultaneous removal of organic substances and nutrients. Overall, this study demonstrated the application potential of algae-MFC systems for sustainable wastewater treatment and energy production.
Impact of Electron Radiation on Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel Development on Dragon Fruit
Authors: Thi Thanh Thao Pham , Sy Minh Tuan Hoang 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Maintaining the quality and safety of agricultural products for export is paramount, especially in the face of pest threats. Electron beam irradiation effectively controls Bactrocera dorsalis (B. dorsalis) infestation in dragon fruit, particularly when combined with hot water treatment (46.5°C for 40 minutes). This combined approach maintains fruit morphology and significantly reduces B. dorsalis hatching, pupation, and adult emergence rates. A radiation dose of 1 kGy, aligned with international phytosanitary standards, minimally impacts total soluble solids (TSS) and total acidity (TA) while preserving vitamin C content. However, ascorbic acid content gradually decreases during storage, necessitating a balance between preservation efficacy and nutritional quality. This study elucidates the potential of electron beam irradiation as a safe and effective phytosanitary treatment for dragon fruit, ensuring compliance with international export standards while minimizing adverse effects on fruit quality.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Noni fruit is widely distributed in Vietnam, and it needs support for broader utilization due to its diverse health benefits. This study aimed to assess representative noni samples from different species and geographic locations in Vietnam. Variations in nutritional composition, mineral, and bioactive content among these samples were analytically investigated. Noni fruits from the sampling regions and their total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total saponin content, and vitamin C were analyzed. Additionally, the impacts of ripeness and storage duration on bioactive changes were evaluated. Harvest time combined with storage of approximately 110 days of maturation from flowering yielded fully ripe noni fruits. The highest bioactive contents (p < 0.05) were exhibited on such the matured fruits that should be suitable for subsequent processing. Optimal harvest timing, coupled with appropriate storage, ensures the delivery of bioactive-rich noni fruits. The research findings contribute to the development of functional food products. Further studies are warranted to explore scalability and applications. The feasibility of preliminary noni powder production was also discussed, which emphasizes the need for further research.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Facial paralysis (FP) is a condition characterized by the inability to move some or all of the muscles on one or both sides of the face. Diagnosing FP presents challenges due to the limitations of traditional methods, which are time-consuming, uncomfortable for patients, and require specialized clinicians. Additionally, more advanced tools are often uncommonly available to all healthcare providers. Early and accurate detection of FP is crucial, as timely intervention can prevent long-term complications and improve patient outcomes. To address these challenges, our research introduces Facia-Fix, a mobile application for Bell’s palsy diagnosis, integrating computer vision and deep learning techniques to provide real-time analysis of facial landmarks. The classification algorithms are trained on the publicly available YouTube FP (YFP) dataset, which is labeled using the House-Brackmann (HB) method, a standardized system for assessing the severity of FP. Different deep learning models were employed to classify the FP severity, such as MobileNet, CNN, MLP, VGG16, and Vision Transformer. The MobileNet model which uses transfer learning, achieved the highest performance (Accuracy: 0.9812, Precision: 0.9753, Recall: 0.9727, F1 Score: 0.974), establishing it as the optimal choice among the evaluated models. The innovation of this approach lies in its use of advanced deep learning models to provide accurate, objective, non-invasive and real-time comprehensive quantitative assessment of FP severity. Preliminary results highlight the potential of Facia-Fix to significantly improve the diagnostic and follow-up experiences for both clinicians and patients.
Finite element analysis and optimization studies on tibia implant of SS 316L steel and Ti6Al4V alloy
Authors: Sathone Ishan R , Potdar Umesh G 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Tibial fractures account for approximately 15% of all fractures, typically resulting from high-energy trauma. A critical surgical approach to treat these fractures involves the fixation of the tibia using a plate with minimally invasive osteosynthesis. The selection and fixation of the implant plate are vital for stabilizing the fracture. This selection is highly dependent on the plate’s stability, which is influenced by factors like the stresses generated in the plate due to the load on the bone, as well as the plate’s length, thickness, and number of screw holes. Minimizing these stresses is essential to reduce the risk of implant failure, ensuring optimal stress distribution and promoting faster, more effective bone healing. In the present work, the finite element and statistical approach was used to optimize the geometrical parameters of the implant plate made of SS 316L steel and Ti6Al4V alloy. A 3D finite element model was developed for analyzing the stresses and deformation, and implant plates were manufactured to validate the results with the help of an experiment conducted on the universal testing machine. A strong correlation was observed between the experimental and predicted results, with an average error of 8.6% and 8.55% for SS316L and Ti6Al4V alloy, respectively. Further, using the signal-to-noise ratio for the minimum stress condition was applied to identify the optimum parameters of the plate. Finally, regression models were developed to predict the stresses generated in SS316L and Ti6Al4V alloy plates with different input conditions. The statistical model helps us to develop the relation between different geometrical parameters of the Tibia implant plate. As determined by the present work, the parameter most influencing is implant plate length. This outcome will be used to select the implant for a specific patient, resulting in a reduction in implant failure post-surgery.
