Abstract

The hydroponic pilot project in the Batam State Polytechnic area was motivated by problems with economic conditions and declining health conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic. This project is expected to support the “growing your own food movement” in an effort to reduce unemployment, increase food security and a healthy lifestyle. The hydroponic method was chosen because it is very easy to do and does not require a large area of ​​land. In this community service activity, a hydroponic plant building framework will be made as a prototype of an efficient and efficient hydroponic building so that it can be used by the wider community. This activity is also useful for applying design knowledge as one of the PbL activities carried out by CAD, CNC, CAM, and Fabrication Engineering courses in the Mechanical Engineering Department, so that it can become an arena for higher education participation to support people's lives. The method of implementing this community service activity is to make observations to find a suitable area to build a hydroponic plant house, then the results of the observations are poured in the form of a design by utilizing software so that the materials needed and the shape of the framework that is built can be known. The last activity is making a hydroponic plant place. This activity is planned to be carried out from April to November 2021. Based on the results of the evaluation of the service program questionnaire for product distribution, it is known that the majority of respondents are satisfied with the products produced.

Abstract

The decrease in capability is caused by work fatigue and the level of error in work will increase. The increase in errors in work will cause the opportunity for work accidents in the industry which is the cause and effect of a work accident. This study aimed to determine solutions to eliminate mental workload from a safety climate based on NOSACQ-50 using the NASA-TLX method at PT. X part of The Batam City field in 2021. This quantitative study uses an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach between NOSACQ-50 to determine safety climate and NASA-TLX Method to determine mental workload based on the safety climate. The objects of this research are all workers of PT. X in 2021, with a sample size of 30 respondents. Statistical analysis used chi-square test. The results of this study show that Mental Workload in PT.X mostly was in moderate Level (73,3%) with the highest workload score was in the physical needs. NASA-TLX shows that Empowerment of Work Safety from Management was the significant factor causing mental stress. It was concluded that mental stress is caused by poor work arrangements. Suggestions for companies is to rotate work in each group of workers, especially riggers so that the workload is evenly distributed, and top management participates and is committed to carrying out OHS programs by directly demonstrating the programs that have been set.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) in optimizing welding preparation for the back gouging of boom structures in hydraulic mining shovels. The primary objective is to evaluate MPI's efficiency in detecting surface and near-surface defects during the pre-welding stage, thereby improving the overall welding quality of boom structures, which play a critical role in supporting heavy loads. MPI is utilized as an initial inspection method prior to Ultrasonic Testing (UT), enabling early detection of potential defects and reducing the likelihood of failures during subsequent UT evaluations. The study reveals the presence of linear and rounded discontinuities that may compromise weld integrity. By applying MPI early in the process, the need for rework during UT is minimized, resulting in cost and time savings. Furthermore, the findings of this study contribute to supporting two key organizational initiatives—People, Quality, Velocity, Cost (PQVC) and Built-in Quality (BIQ)—which aim to enhance both the efficiency and reliability of the welding process.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the ideal heat input to remain within the constraints set in the preliminary Welding Procedure Specification (pWPS). Heat input greatly influences weld quality, mechanical properties, and residual stresses, yet accurate determination during Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) trials remains challenging. This research involved field data collection during PQR testing using two coupon specimens made of ASTM B564 UNS-N06625 and ASTM B444 UNS-N06625 Grade 1 materials, each with dimensions of 11.07 mm in thickness and 60.3 mm in diameter. The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process was applied in the 6G position. The acceptable heat input ranges in the pWPS are: Root (1.0–2.5 kJ/mm), Hot (1.0–2.6), Filler (0.69–1.39), and Cap (0.6–1.1). In coupon test 1, two passes failed: Pass 3 (1.51) and Pass 5 (1.43). In coupon test 2, three passes exceeded limits: Pass 4 (1.64–1.97), Pass 5 (1.42–1.72), and Pass 8 (1.19). To ensure compliance, recommended heat input parameters were formulated. For the root pass, use 97–103 A, 9–10 V, over 4 min 40 sec (2.04–2.41 kJ/mm). For the hot pass, use 98–106 A, 9–10 V, for 4 min 48 sec (1.85–2.23). The filler pass should use 79–97 A, 9–10 V, for 3 min 39 sec (1.01–1.37), and the cap pass 81–90 A, 9–10 V, for 3 min 17 sec (0.64–0.79). These parameters aim to achieve high-quality welds in line with pWPS specifications.

Abstract

This paper discusses in depth the implementation of the Village Community Empowerment Program (P2MD) carried out on Jemare Island. The main focus of this program is the application of appropriate technology, which includes public street lighting and a water pump system, both powered by solar panels. The main objective of this initiative is to improve the quality of lighting and the provision of clean water on the island, two important aspects that are greatly needed by the local residents. Through a series of intensive observations and discussions with the local residents, the community service team was able to identify and solve various problems faced by the residents. As a result of these efforts, four street lights have been successfully installed and operated, and the water pump system has been successfully connected to the water pump machine and water storage tank. It is hoped that this initiative can have a significant positive impact on the quality of life of the residents of Jemare Island, support their business activities and economy, and provide a solution to the uneven distribution of electricity by the state electricity company (PLN). This solution is practical because it utilizes renewable energy in the form of sunlight, which is abundantly available on Jemare Island.

Abstract

Introduction: The use of synthetic preservatives such as formalin in food products, especially tofu, has raised serious health concerns, including the risk of cancer. Objective: As a solution, this study aims to evaluate the potential combination of bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) and garlic (Allium sativum) as a natural preservative to replace synthetic preservatives in tofu. Method: The study was conducted using a completely randomized block design (RCBD) with variations in extract concentration and tofu storage duration, as well as testing of physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics. Results and Discussion: The results showed that bay leaf extract produced a dark green color with a strong aroma, while garlic extract maintained a white color with a distinctive aroma without changes in texture. The combination of both extracts gave a complex aroma but showed black spots and mold growth on the 6th day of storage. Microbiologically, the combination of bay leaf and garlic extracts effectively reduced the number of Escherichia coli to below the detection limit, but slightly increased the total coliform count. Conclusion: The conclusion of the results is there the combination of bay leaf and garlic extracts can improve the sensory quality of tofu and reduce pathogenic bacteria, but further management is needed to ensure the microbiological safety of the product.
