Abstract
Coffee husk is one of the main sources of lignocellulose biomass, mainly containing 59.32% cellulose, 7.62% hemicellulose, 3.39% lignin, and others. Due to its composition, the cellulose-based coffee husk can be utilized as an alternative sustainable material for various industrial applications. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate cellulose content in the robusta coffee husk waste through extraction by delignification and bleaching methods. The yield of cellulose from coffee husk ranged from 8.58 to 10.33%, or an average of 9.25%. There was an increase in cellulose content after the delignification (42.69%), compared to the previous without delignification (17.31%), as well as a decrease in lignin content (18.65%). Further characterization using FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of a hydroxyl group (O-H) bound by a hydrogen bond at 3330.68 cm−1, indicating the main characteristics of cellulose. This research revealed the potency of robusta coffee husk waste as an alternative material source, offering dual benefits: mitigating waste management issues while providing added value to this often-overlooked byproduct. These findings could significantly contribute to the broader scope of sustainable materials and highlight the potential of agricultural waste as a critical player in the circular economy.
Are households willing to contribute financially to hazard mitigation? A lesson landslide-prone areas
Authors: Saptutyningsih Endah , Keswara Shalsabilla 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examines household readiness to make financial contributions to reduce the risk of landslides, with a particular focus on Bantul, Indonesia, a location that frequently experiences these kinds of disasters. The average willingness to contribute (WTP) towards mitigating landslides was determined by analysing data from 358 homes using the Contingent Valuation approach. The results showed that households are willing to provide IDR 27,026 (USD 1.68) on average for this reason. WTP was found to be influenced by a number of sociodemographic factors. Factors such as age, gender, family size, income, and education level were all important. Furthermore, there was a correlation found between WTP levels and social capital elements including trust and involvement in community activities. Household willingness to make financial contributions was also influenced by where they lived in landslide-prone areas and how frequently landslides happened in the past. Policymakers and stakeholders in Bantul and other similar locations are advised to adopt a number of activities in light of these findings. Initially, it is important to create focused marketing and educational initiatives to increase public knowledge of the risks associated with landslides and the value of mitigating measures. Second, since social capital, trust, and community involvement all have a favorable effect on WTP, these programs ought to be given top priority. To guarantee ongoing household support, it is also essential to put in place equitable and open procedures for gathering and applying donations for landslide mitigation initiatives.
The use of RSCS and XRD to volcanic residual soil characterization concerning the environment and sustainable development. Case Study: West Lampung Transect Road, Sumatra, Indonesia
Authors: Iqbal Prahara , Puswanto Eko 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In Indonesia, residual soils, particularly volcanic residual soil, cover more than half of the land area. In general, this soil serves as a growth medium for numerous plants and infrastructure foundations. According to the researchers, numerous engineering difficulties, such as erosion, cracked soil, land subsidence, and landslides, are common in this type of soil. The West Lampung volcanic residual soil was characterized to learn about its physical and engineering features in terms of the environment and sustainable development. The examination of the fine-grained Revised Soil Classification System and X-ray Diffraction was employed in this investigation. The findings of the RSCS and XRD analyses show that there is variability in the volcanic residual soil. The rocks in the study area are volcanic breccias with tuff and glass volcanic components embedded in the tuff, sand, and clay matrix. The rock is deposited in hydrothermal alteration environment. There is evidence of hydrothermal alteration in the existence of geothermal manifestations around the study area, namely in Mt. Seminung, Suoh region, and Mt. Sekincau. Later, the volcanic residual soils are formed from the weathering of those rocks with a thickness of up to 20m. The soil in the study region is one of the salt-affected soils with dispersive features. The soil is low to high in plasticity and electrical sensitivity, and it comprises clay minerals with swelling-shrink capabilities. It may be inferred that the soils in the studied region require specific care if they are to be used for agriculture, plantations, or other purposes.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Limited rice field area is not a dead end that makes Indonesia surrender to the condition. In addition to harvest area and rice production data, planting index of rice (PIR) can assist the policymakers in food security planning. Rice fields with high PIR can be a guide, while rice fields with low PIR can be an object to develop. The classifier model with geo-biophysics parameters (EVI, NDWI, NDBI) is an advanced classification technique that can be used to generate PIR information from optical time series images. During land preparation, the rice fields typically show low EVI, high NDWI, and low NDBI. Rice EVI values continues to increase until the last vegetative stage or 60 days after planting. After that, rice fields will revert to low EVI, low NDWI and high NDBI. The start, end, middle, max, min, range and max position value are variables that represent patterns of EVI, NDWI and NDBI time series. The inclusion of Landsat 9 has significantly improved accuracy, resulting in 84%, whereas without Landsat 9, the accuracy remains at 64%. Furthermore, accuracy can be assessed by comparing the harvest area data from PIR conversion with the reported data from BPS. The comparisons are 8% for 2022, 7.9% for 2021 and 9.5% for 2020. Besides, both the BPS-reported data and this research indicate that the rice harvest area in Serang Regency had the highest figure in 2022 and the lowest figure in 2021. So it can be concluded, this research has yielded good results.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This preliminary study examines the willingness of tourists to contribute financially to forest fire prevention in Bromo, Indonesia, a region frequently affected by forest fires that pose a risk to both its ecological health and tourism-driven economy. Employing the contingent valuation method, the research gathered data from 480 visitors regarding their willingness to pay (WTP) for implementing effective fire management strategies. The analysis explored how demographic factors such as gender, income, and type of tourist, along with perceptions about the effectiveness of current forest fire prevention measures, influence their WTP. Logistic regression was utilized to analyze the data, identifying key predictors of WTP and their implications. Results highlighted that higher income levels and a strong perception of the effectiveness of early warning systems significantly influenced WTP. In contrast, factors like gender and perceived importance of green area development showed lesser impact. These insights provide valuable guidance for crafting targeted approaches to increase public funding for forest fire management, crucial for sustainable tourism and environmental preservation in Bromo.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The development of a significant amount of economically and technically efficient storage infrastructure to enable the integration of non-programmable renewable energy sources into the electricity grid is essential to address challenges such as load balancing, frequency regulation and the need for flexible generation of energy reserves. Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) plants, a long tradition in Italy, can be a promising solution if new plants suitable for this purpose were to be built (traditional PHES and Seawater PHES plants). To investigate which possible actions can be concretely implemented a Geographic Information System (GIS) procedure was developed and applied across the entire Italian territory. This procedure was further refined using advanced GIS object-based image analysis software to pinpoint areas with ideal topographical features for constructing new reservoirs. An innovative method was used to consider the impacts of the present reservoir silting, which forms part of the potential PHES taking into account the average erodibility of the soils and the sediment contributions from the reservoir basin. All costs were estimated to propose a future plant economic indicator, which also considered siltation conditions. Finally, the most promising plants, identified using this indicator, were proposed. Following an initial screening of 574 currently existing reservoirs, 29 potential PHES were identified deemed suitable, based on considerations of cost/power ratio and siltation incidence. The total Italian potential installable power amounts to approximately 10 GW, with Sardinia emerging as a key region with 4 GW of potential capacity distributed across 11 selected sites. Concerning the Seawater PHES an enormous seawater pumped potential of approximately 20 GW, with 39 possible configurations with and specific cost value per unit of power lower than 2,5 M€/MW could be realized.
Unlocking Hydropower’s Potential: Retrofitting Infrastructure and Harnessing Unconventional Sources for Clean Energy Transitions

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Hydropower holds a pivotal role within the water-energy nexus for facilitating the clean energy transition, particularly in unconventional and retrofit opportunities. As a renewable energy source, hydropower contributes to decarbonizing the energy sector while simultaneously supporting water management objectives. By integrating hydropower generation into existing infrastructure such as water supply systems, weirs, irrigation networks, and wastewater treatment facilities, synergies can be leveraged to optimize resource utilization and enhance system resilience. This further offers some options for diversifying the electricity mix and speeding up the clean energy transition. However, the complex interaction between water availability and energy production necessitates careful planning and adaptive strategies to mitigate risks associated with climate variability and changing demand patterns. Unlocking the potential of hydropower through these unconventional and retrofitting opportunities is thus instrumental in advancing sustainability goals and ensuring the success of clean energy transitions in the face of various challenges. By leveraging existing infrastructure and exploring innovative solutions, countries stand to significantly enhance its energy resilience and reduce its carbon footprint. Moreover, such initiatives align with broader international objectives, including the Paris Agreement’s vision of transitioning to a zero-emission society by 2050 and the European Union’s FIT for 55 targets. Under these considerations, this paper seeks to explore the potential of retrofitting existing infrastructure and harnessing unconventional hydropower sources with examples in Czechia, South Africa and Türkiye to address electricity shortages, mitigate carbon emissions, and contribute to the broader clean energy transition agenda. The insights gained from this analysis can inform policy frameworks, investment strategies, and technological innovations aimed at fostering sustainable energy practices.
Methods to prevent or mitigate total dissolved gas supersaturation in the waterways downstream hydropower plants
Authors: Kuhn W. Ludwig , Solemslie Bjørn Winther , Hihn Jean-Yves , Dahlhaug Ole Gunnar 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Downstream hydropower plants, a change in water chemistry can lead to the occurrence of a widely unknown problem: total dissolved gas (TDG) supersaturation. It takes place when air is entrained in a water body and exposed to high pressures, which leads to gas dissolution in the water. Re-exposure to atmospheric pressure downstream the power plant results in TDG supersaturation. This is a potential danger for the aquatic environment living in these waters, as the increased saturation poses the risk of experiencing gas bubble disease (GBD). Studies about TDG supersaturation are found in North America (USA and Canada), China, Brazil, and Norway (minor studies include Austria, Germany, and Sweden). Yet, knowledge about the risk of the problem is not widespread, which leads to the repetition of mistakes. Moreover, shifting precipitation patterns induced by climate change are expected to lead to an increase in TDG supersaturation occurrences, as those are associated with flooding. An overview of methods to either prevent or mitigate the problem of TDG supersaturation downstream hydropower plants is presented and recent study results are disseminated. These include civil engineering, operational, and technical methods. Where hydropower plants are in a planning phase, this can contribute to preventing the occurrence of TDG supersaturation in the first place, while existing hydropower plants can implement different measures to reduce the risk of producing TDG supersaturation in the downstream waterways. This helps maintain the aquatic environment as well as local habitat for fish and invertebrates, and therefore counts towards hydropower taxonomy and increases social acceptance of hydropower.
Full fine-tuning strategy for endoscopic foundation models with expanded learnable offset parameters

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In the medical field, endoscopic video analysis is crucial for disease diagnosis and minimally invasive surgery. The Endoscopic Foundation Models (Endo-FM) utilize large-scale self-supervised pre-training on endoscopic video data and leverage video transformer models to capture long-range spatiotemporal dependencies. However, detecting complex lesions such as gastrointestinal metaplasia (GIM) in endoscopic videos remains challenging due to unclear boundaries and indistinct features, and Endo-FM has not demonstrated good performance. To this end, we propose a fully fine-tuning strategy with an Extended Learnable Offset Parameter (ELOP), which improves model performance by introducing learnable offset parameters in the input space. Specifically, we propose a novel loss function that combines cross-entropy loss and focal loss through a weighted sum, enabling the model to better focus on hard-to-classify samples during training. We validated ELOP on a private GIM dataset from a local grade-A tertiary hospital and a public polyp detection dataset. Experimental results show that ELOP significantly improves the detection accuracy, achieving accuracy improvements of 6.25 % and 3.75%respectively compared to the original Endo-FM. In summary, ELOP provides an excellent solution for detecting complex lesions in endoscopic videos, achieving more precise diagnoses.

Authors: Li Chun-Tse , Cheng Hao-Chung 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Quantum data loading plays a central role in quantum algorithms and quantum information processing. Many quantum algorithms hinge on the ability to prepare arbitrary superposition states as a subroutine, with claims of exponential speedups often predicated on access to an efficient data-loading oracle. In practice, constructing a circuit to prepare a generic n-qubit quantum state typically demands computational efforts scaling as

, posing a significant challenge for quantum algorithms to outperform their classical counterparts. To address this critical issue, various hybrid quantum–classical approaches have been proposed. However, many of these solutions favor simplistic circuit architectures, which are susceptible to substantial optimization challenges. In this study, we harness quantum circuits as Born machines to generate probability distributions. Drawing inspiration from methods used to investigate electronic structures in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics, we propose a framework called Adaptive Circuit Learning of Born Machine, which dynamically expands the ansatz circuit. Our algorithm is designed to selectively integrate two-qubit entangled gates that best capture the intricate entanglement present within the target state. Empirical experiments underscore the efficacy of our approach in encoding real-world data through amplitude embedding, demonstrating not only compliance with but also enhancement over the performance benchmarks set by prior research.
Drivers and challenges for wood-based construction in urban areas
Authors: Iliescu Oana , Amiri Ali , Junnila Seppo 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Wood-based construction (WBC) has gained prominence as a sustainable alternative to traditional construction, offering significant environmental benefits such as carbon storage and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Its importance lies in its potential to contribute to climate change mitigation while supporting economic growth and innovation in the construction industry. Therefore, understanding the drivers and challenges of WBC is essential for its future development. This study, at the first stage, conducted a literature review to identify the key drivers and challenges associated with WBC, categorizing them into environmental, technical, economic, and perception and policy aspects. Then, based on these findings, we conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with WBC experts from Finland in the construction industry, public administration and academia to compare theoretical perspectives with practical insights. Results revealed that literature often focuses on matters such as life-cycle assessments, policy development, and renewable resource management. On the other hand, interviewees emphasize practical concerns like technical feasibility, economic viability, and client perceptions. Climate considerations are acknowledged by interview participants as important but are often viewed as external expectations rather than core business drivers. This study highlights the gap between academic research and industry practice.
Mechanisms of nitrogen and phosphorus release from heavily polluted coastal sediments and identification of influencing factor
Authors: Hu Nana , Sheng Yanqing , Tang Qi , Liu Xiaozhu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The release of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from coastal sediments is vital to the evolution of coastal water quality. In this study, the release of N and P from coastal sediments in a heavily polluted river was studied using single-factor experiments and sequential extraction of N and P from sediments. The experimental results showed that N and P from the coastal river sediments reached the release-absorption equilibrium after the 42nd and 14th day, respectively. The release of N and P from heavily polluted river sediments in coastal zones is affected by resuspension, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. The results showed that resuspension had the greatest impact on the release of N and P from heavily contaminated coastal river sediments into the overlying water. In addition, the release of P, NO3
− and NO2
− from sediments is most sensitive to changes in temperature, while the release of total N and NH4
+ is most sensitive to changes in salinity. Unlike in lake sediments, high dissolved oxygen concentrations inhibit the release of NH4
+ from extensively contaminated coastal sediments. Ion-exchangeable forms of N and inorganic P are the most susceptible to release from external environmental factors. These findings will aid in the management and control of heavily polluted coastal rivers.
Guiding Principles for Conducting Research with a Health Equity Lens
Authors: Hudson Darrell 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Centering equity in research means that research teams must consider equity at each stage of the research process, applying principles of health equity from ideation and question formation to developing the specific research process and investigative team to the intentional disseminate of research findings. The goal of this chapter is to translate the guiding principles around power and privilege by providing actionable steps population health researchers can undertake at each phase of the research process, with attention to principles of equity and intersections by race, gender, class, age, sexuality, ability, and other factors. Therefore, this chapter emphasizes the importance of using community-engaged approaches, ones in which authentic relationships that are intentionally developed, to center people’s lived experiences in the development of solutions to health inequities. The chapter also encourages scholars to use a theoretical framework that prioritizes equity in order to guide their research approach. Two frameworks are underscored in this chapter, Critical Race Theory and Fundamental Cause Theory. Finally, the chapter describes ways to center equity in the implementation and dissemination process, especially if the objective is to develop best practices that can address health inequities. Taken together, this chapter provides theoretical and procedural guideposts to integrate principles of health equity throughout the research process.
Why Racial Capitalism and Scientific Racism Threaten Promoting Antiracism and Health Equity in Public Health
Authors: Gilbert Keon L , Gee Gilbert 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Our existing theories have led to blind spots in assessing power and racial privilege. This chapter explores how individual-level theories have pointed us towards a limited view of health promotion in the U.S. Health equity has not been advanced because of a lack of focus on theories and indicators of racial privilege and how that has stymied our ability to conduct fully antiracist science and health promotion practice. To advance the science, practice, and evidence base of public health requires theories that center the lived experiences of racialized groups, the political constraints of these communities, and the assets that can be enhanced to promote equitable health outcomes.
