Abstract

The increasing reliance on energy-intensive active cooling systems in modern tropical architecture presents a significant challenge to sustainable development. Traditional, vernacular design strategies, such as the Islamic Mashrabiya (ornate latticework screens), offer time-tested principles for passive climate mitigation that are largely underexplored in contemporary building science. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of integrating Mashrabiya-inspired building facades as a passive cooling strategy to reduce solar heat gain and enhance thermal comfort in modern tropical buildings. A quantitative, simulation-based methodology was employed. Using building performance simulation software (EnergyPlus), a prototypical contemporary office building in a hot-humid tropical climate was modeled. Several facade designs incorporating different Mashrabiya patterns, porosities, and materials were simulated and compared against a conventional glazed curtain wall baseline. Key performance indicators included indoor operative temperature, solar radiation transmittance, and annual cooling energy demand. The findings demonstrate that facades with optimized Mashrabiya-inspired designs significantly improved building performance. The best-performing screen designs reduced direct solar heat gain by up to 55% and lowered the annual cooling energy consumption by over 25% compared to the baseline, while still maintaining sufficient daylight levels.  The application of Mashrabiya principles is a highly effective and viable passive design strategy for modern tropical architecture. This research confirms that reinterpreting traditional architectural elements offers a culturally resonant and sustainable pathway to creating energy-efficient and comfortable buildings.

Abstract

The microbial communities play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem functions by driving various biological processes, including nutrient cycling, energy flow, and species interactions. Despite extensive studies on individual species, the holistic role of microbial communities within ecosystems, particularly from a zoological and ecological perspective, remains underexplored. This study aims to analyze the interrelationship between microbial communities and ecosystem functions, emphasizing their impact on animal health, productivity, and biodiversity. The research employs a combination of field observations, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to investigate microbial diversity across different habitats. Field samples were collected from diverse ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, and aquatic environments, to assess microbial composition and its association with local fauna. Results indicate significant correlations between microbial diversity and ecosystem productivity, with specific microbial taxa contributing to enhanced nutrient availability and animal health. Moreover, the findings reveal that changes in microbial communities due to environmental stressors, such as climate change and habitat fragmentation, can negatively affect ecosystem resilience. In conclusion, this study highlights the pivotal role of microbial communities in supporting ecosystem functions, providing a basis for conservation strategies that integrate microbial management to enhance ecological balance and sustainability.

Abstract

Bone tissue engineering seeks to develop biomaterial scaffolds that can replicate the complex hierarchical structure and biological functionality of native bone extracellular matrix. Conventional bone substitutes often fail to simultaneously achieve sufficient mechanical strength, osteoconductivity, and biological integration, limiting their effectiveness in repairing critical-sized bone defects. This study aims to develop a collagen–nanofiber composite scaffold functionalized through biomimetic mineralization of hydroxyapatite to enhance its suitability for bone tissue engineering applications. An experimental biomaterials approach was employed, involving fabrication of collagen nanofiber scaffolds followed by controlled biomimetic mineralization in simulated physiological conditions. The resulting scaffolds were characterized for morphology, mineral composition, crystallinity, and mechanical properties, and subsequently evaluated in vitro using osteogenic cell models to assess cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and matrix mineralization. The mineralized scaffolds exhibited uniform nanoscale hydroxyapatite deposition, physiologically relevant Ca/P ratios, and significantly enhanced mechanical stiffness compared to non-mineralized controls. Biological assays demonstrated improved osteogenic cell attachment, elevated alkaline phosphatase activity, and increased calcium deposition on mineralized scaffolds. These findings indicate that biomimetic mineralization effectively integrates inorganic and organic phases to produce a scaffold that closely mimics native bone structure and function. In conclusion, collagen–nanofiber scaffolds mineralized with hydroxyapatite using a biomimetic approach represent a promising platform for bone tissue engineering and warrant further in vivo investigation.

Abstract

The rise of startups in Indonesia has created a growing demand for innovative financing models that align with Shariah principles. Shariah-compliant venture capital (SCVC) offers a unique opportunity to support startups while adhering to Islamic ethical standards, such as the prohibition of riba (interest) and gharar (uncertainty). This study explores the potential of SCVC as a financing model for startups in Indonesia, focusing on its alignment with Shariah principles, its impact on startup growth, and the challenges faced by stakeholders. The research aims to identify effective strategies for implementing SCVC and propose recommendations for enhancing its role in fostering ethical and sustainable entrepreneurship. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative analysis of startup financing data with qualitative interviews with venture capitalists, Shariah scholars, and startup founders. Data were analyzed to assess the compatibility of SCVC with Shariah principles, its financial performance, and its contribution to startup success. The findings reveal that SCVC can effectively support startups while adhering to Islamic ethics, but challenges such as limited awareness, regulatory gaps, and risk-sharing complexities hinder its widespread adoption. The study concludes that promoting SCVC in Indonesia requires targeted strategies, including education, regulatory reforms, and capacity-building for stakeholders.

Abstract

Background. The role of reward and punishment systems in shaping student discipline has long been a subject of interest in educational psychology. Schools often rely on these systems to promote desirable behaviors and deter misconduct, yet the effectiveness of these strategies remains debated. Purpose. This study explores the influence of reward and punishment systems on student discipline in secondary schools, focusing on how these strategies affect student behavior and academic performance. Method. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys to assess student perceptions and qualitative interviews with teachers and school administrators. Results. The results reveal that both reward and punishment systems have a significant impact on student discipline, but the nature of the influence depends on the consistency, clarity, and fairness of their implementation. Reward systems were found to be more effective in fostering positive behaviors and improving academic performance, while punishment systems were more effective in deterring misconduct when applied consistently. However, excessive reliance on punishment led to negative emotional outcomes for students. Conclusion. The study concludes that a balanced approach, where rewards are used to encourage positive behaviors and punishments are applied sparingly and fairly, is the most effective strategy for promoting student discipline.
