Abstract

Agricultural waste has great potential to be used as biomaterial raw materials that can be used in medical applications, especially for bone tissue regeneration. Nanocellulose, which is produced from natural cellulose, offers good mechanical properties and high biocompatibility. This research aims to develop nanocellulose-based biomaterials from agricultural waste for bone regeneration applications. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of agricultural waste, such as rice straw, peanut husks, and corn leaves, in producing high-quality nanocellulose that can be used for applications in the field of bone tissue regeneration. This study uses an experimental design with a laboratory approach. Agricultural waste is treated through nanocellulose extraction using certain chemical techniques. Material characterization was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as biocompatibility tests using osteoblast cell cultures. The results show that rice straw produces nanocellulose with the highest cellulose content (65%) and has optimal tensile strength and degradation time for bone tissue applications. Peanut husks and corn leaves also show good results, although not as good as rice straw. Agricultural waste, especially rice straw, has great potential to be used as a raw material for nanocellulose that can be used in bone tissue regeneration applications. This research opens up opportunities to develop more sustainable and affordable biomaterials for medical applications.

Abstract

Background. Mathematics learning among at-risk students is frequently constrained by heterogeneous learning gaps, low engagement, and limited access to individualized instruction. Conventional teaching approaches often fail to accommodate these differences, leading to persistent disparities in academic achievement. Purpose. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of adaptive learning systems in personalizing mathematics instruction and improving learning outcomes for at-risk students, as well as to explore the role of student engagement in this process. Method. A quasi-experimental mixed-methods design was employed involving 112 students assigned to experimental (adaptive learning system) and control (traditional instruction) groups. Data were collected through pretest–posttest assessments to measure achievement, engagement questionnaires to assess behavioral and emotional involvement, and system-generated learning analytics to track progress and interaction patterns. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative insights were derived through thematic analysis. Results. The findings indicate that adaptive learning systems significantly improve mathematics achievement and student engagement compared to conventional instructional methods. Personalized learning pathways, immediate feedback, and continuous progress monitoring contribute to enhanced performance and reduced variability among learners. Engagement is identified as a mediating factor that strengthens the relationship between adaptive instruction and academic achievement. Conclusion. Adaptive learning systems offer an effective and scalable solution for supporting at-risk students in mathematics education. The results underscore the importance of integrating personalization and engagement-focused strategies to promote equitable learning outcomes. Educators and institutions are encouraged to adopt adaptive technologies to create more responsive and inclusive instructional environments.

Abstract

This study quantifies the extreme vulnerability of the integrated potato supply chain at PT Fujitake Shouten, Nagasaki, Japan, amidst intersecting macroeconomic, demographic, and climate crises. By integrating the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model with a Likelihood-Impact matrix, this research systematically prioritized 40 operational risk events validated through stakeholder consensus to assess the systemic fragility of fresh produce logistics. Empirical results reveal a dominant concentration of threats within the “High” and “Very High” risk categories, confirming an operational environment with a near-zero margin of error. The analysis identified a critical domino effect where rural labor shortages necessitate rough mechanical harvesting, causing physical tuber damage that accelerates metabolic respiration and spoilage during cold storage, ultimately disrupting financial liquidity and downstream retail performance. To mitigate these cascading failures, the study provides a data-driven framework where specific interventions notably precision cold-chain temperature management and visual quality controls are directly linked to risk reduction. These findings offer an actionable strategy for agribusiness entities to transition from reactive measures to proactive resilience, effectively stabilizing cash-to-cash cycles in vertically integrated supply chains.

Abstract

Dissimilar steel joints are increasingly employed in demanding engineering structures, yet repeated thermal cycles during multi-pass welding can generate complex microstructural heterogeneity and localized mechanical-property gradients that affect structural integrity. This study investigates the relationship between cumulative welding thermal history, microstructural evolution, local property variation, and tensile fracture behavior in multi-pass dissimilar steel joints. An experimental laboratory design integrated controlled multi-pass welding, metallographic characterization, microhardness mapping, transverse tensile testing, fracture-location analysis, and fractographic examination to establish process–structure–property relationships. The results revealed pronounced microstructural and hardness variations across the weld metal, fusion boundaries, heat-affected zones, and base materials due to unequal thermal histories and repeated reheating. Tensile fracture occurred preferentially within or adjacent to mechanically heterogeneous transition regions rather than consistently within the weld centerline or maximum-hardness zone, demonstrating the critical influence of local strength–ductility mismatch and deformation compatibility. The study concludes that tensile performance cannot be adequately explained by average strength or peak hardness alone. An integrated pathway linking thermal history, microstructural evolution, property gradients, strain localization, and fracture behavior provides a stronger mechanistic framework for evaluating joint integrity and optimizing multi-pass welding procedures for reliable dissimilar steel structures under demanding industrial service conditions.
