Abstract

The high application of Poly(styrene-maleic acid) (PSMA) in an aqueous environment, such as biomedical purposes, makes the interaction between PSMA and water molecules interesting to be investigated. This study evaluated the conformation, the hydrogen bond network, and the stabilities of all the possible intermolecular interactions between PSMA with water (PSMA−(H2O)n, n = 1–5). All calculations were executed using the density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP functional and the 6–311G** basis set. The energy interaction of PSMA–(H2O)5 complex was –56.66 kcal/mol, which is classified as high hydrogen bond interaction. The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) – Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy gap decreased with the rise in the number of H2O molecules, representing a more reactive complex. The strongest hydrogen bonding in PSMA–(H2O)5 wasformed through the interaction on O72···O17–H49 with stabilizing energy of 50.32 kcal/mol, that analyzed by natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. The quantum theory atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis showed that the hydrogen bonding (EHB) value on O72···O17–H49 was –14.95 kcal/mol. All computational data revealed that PSMA had moderate to high interaction with water molecules that indicated the water molecules were easily transported and kept in the PSMA matrix.

Abstract

Amylum is one of the polysaccharides developed into biodegradable plastic bags. However, amylum-based plastics are easily damaged due to their low mechanical strength and hydrophilic properties. Cellulose is used as a support material in amylum-based plastics to increase strength and reduce water damage. This study investigated the molecular interactions between amylum and cellulose computationally. The minimum interaction energy of amylum and cellulose was calculated using in silico modeling using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. The B3LYP function and the basis set 6-31++g** were used in the calculations. Simultaneously, D3 Grimme dispersion correction was used as the effect of water solvent in the measures. The results obtained from this study were the interaction energy of amylum and cellulose of –29.8 kcal/mol. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the cellulose-amylum complex was lower than cellulose, indicating that the cellulose-amylum complex was more reactive and bonded to each other. Analysis of Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), Quantum Theory Atom in Molecule (QTAIM), Reduced Density Gradient (RDG), Non-covalent Interaction Index (NCI), and Intrinsic Bond Strength Index (IBSI) showed that the cellulose-amylum complex had weak to medium intermolecular bonds. The hydrogen bond at O61···H48 was the strongest in the complex. All data show that cellulose and amylum could interact through non-covalent bonds.

Abstract

COVID-19, a source of distress in most countries, has encouraged world leaders to issue necessary policies to resolve this global pandemic. An alarming rate of infections in the community has pushed the Indonesian government to come up with the Large-Scale Social Restriction (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar/PSBB). The faculty of Biotechnology of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia has since initiated a community service to halt the spread of COVID-19 by supplying simple hand washing facilities around Pasar Genteng Traditional market in Suradita, Cisauk. Prior to the installations, the traditional market lacked proper sanitizing facilities. Clean water sources such as taps are commonly situated far away from the marketplace. Traders and visitors crowd these areas each day, exponentially increasing the risk of spreading COVID-19. The crowded populations of the traditional market are a motivating factor for this community service, which aims to increase the public awareness in the prevention of COVID-19. Activities of this community service includes installations of hand washing facilities along with educational infographics of proper sanitizing procedures. A total of 21 participants attended the community service while maintaining physical distancing conditions and were encouraged to use the hand wash facilities at the end of the service. The community service was successful, providing impactful benefits towards the traders and visitors, with a raised community awareness of the importance of personal hygiene. The facilities are well maintained after 4 weeks and exemplary community awareness is displayed from their initiative that showed from the monitoring and evaluation results.  ABSTRAK:COVID-19, yang merupakan sumber penyebab keresahan berbagai negara di dunia telah menyebabkan pemerintah dunia mengeluarkan kebijakan untuk mengatasi pandemi yang terjadi secara global ini.

Abstract

Minyak jelantah adalah minyak bekas yang diperoleh dari hasil menggoreng makanan. Penggunaan minyak jelantah berulang menyebabkan penurunan kualitas lingkungan dan manusia. Minyak jelantah mengandung zat polifenol dan akrilamida yang meningkatkan risiko kanker dan penyakit lainnya. Selain itu, minyak jelantah juga mempengaruhi kualitas makanan, menyebabkan perubahan rasa dan tekstur makanan. Pembuangan minyak jelantah sembarangan menyebabkan penumpukan pada saluran air dan tempat pembuangan sampah, berdampak negatif pada ekosistem dan organisme di perairan dan tanah. Namun demikian, minyak jelantah masih dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi produk yang lebih bermanfaat. Melihat hal ini, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya (Unika Atma Jaya) Bersama dengan PT Ubah Limbah Indonesia bekerja sama untuk mengedukasi pedagang di kantin Atma Jaya sebagai salah satu bagian masyarakat yang sering menggunakan minyak goreng. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan pedagang mengenai minyak jelantah serta bagaimana cara mengolahnya menjadi produk lain seperti lilin aromatik. Penyampaian materi dari empat pembicara menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dari pedagang mengenai minyak jelantah, dilihat dari hasil pre-test dan post-test serta analisis Wilcoxon Rank Test. Secara keseluruhan, upaya kolaboratif antara Unika Atma Jaya dan PT Ubah Limbah Indonesia untuk memberikan edukasi kepada pedagang kantin telah berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan pedagang mengenai potensi dan pengolahan minyak jelantah.   Socialisation of the implications of used cooking oil to the canteen vendors at the BSD Campus of Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya   Abstract: Used cooking oil is the residual oil obtained from frying food. Repeated use of used cooking oil leads to a decline in environmental and human quality. Used cooking oil contains polyphenols and acrylamide compounds that elevate cancer risk and other diseases. Furthermore, used cooking oil affects the quality of food, inducing alterations in taste and texture. Improper disposal of used cooking oil results in accumulation within waterways and waste disposal sites, adversely impacting ecosystems and aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Nevertheless, there is potential to repurpose used cooking oil into more beneficial products. Recognizing this, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia (Unika Atma Jaya), in collaboration with PT Ubah Limbah Indonesia, endeavors to educate vendors at the Atma Jaya canteen, a segment of society that frequently employs cooking oil. This initiative aims to enhance vendors' understanding of used cooking oil and its transformation into alternative products such as scented candles. Delivery of content by four presenters demonstrates an improvement in vendors' comprehension of used cooking oil, evident from pre-test and post-test results and Wilcoxon Rank Test analysis. Overall, the collaborative effort between Unika Atma Jaya and PT Ubah Limbah Indonesia to educate canteen vendors has effectively elevated their knowledge regarding the potential and processing of used cooking oil.
