Abstract

This study investigates the fatigue behavior of sugar palm fibre (SPF)-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites with varying fibre contents (10 wt%, 20 wt%, and 30 wt%). The composites were fabricated using extrusion followed by hot press moulding. Tensile tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM D638 to determine the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and fatigue tests were performed under stress levels of 80%, 70%, 60%, and 50% of the UTS, following ASTM D7791. The results indicate that an increase in fibre content leads to a reduction in both tensile strength and fatigue life, likely due to poor interfacial bonding and fibre agglomeration. Fatigue life was found to be significantly higher at lower stress levels across all fibre contents. These findings provide valuable information about the potential and limitations of SPF/TPU composites for applications involving cyclic loading, particularly in lightweight and sustainable material applications

Abstract

Coastal public spaces play a strategic role in supporting social interaction, recreational activities, and urban environmental quality. However, the quality of public space is not solely determined by physical aspects, but also by the compatibility of spatial layout with users’ perceptions and behaviors. This study aims to evaluate the performance of public building spatial layout in the coastal open space of Ulee Lheue Beach, Banda Aceh City, based on users’ perceptions and behaviors. The research employed a qualitative evaluative approach through behavioral observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that Ulee Lheue Beach has strong visual and physical potential as a coastal public space, particularly in terms of openness and natural scenery. Nevertheless, the spatial layout has not fully responded to users’ activity patterns and needs, as reflected by limited spatial connectivity, unclear zoning, and the emergence of adaptive user behaviors in utilizing space informally. The study concludes that the performance of the public space layout at Ulee Lheue Beach remains suboptimal and requires reconfiguration that prioritizes user experience, perception, and behavior to create a functional, inclusive, and sustainable coastal public space.

Abstract

The depiction of conflicts among individuals and social groups related to economic conditions, political interests, and changing social values in Putu Wijaya’s novel JPRUT provides the basis for this study, while the previous studies cited have not specifically examined the novel through Lewis A. Coser’s theory of social conflict. This study aims to describe the forms, causal factors, and impacts of social conflict in JPRUT from Coser’s perspective. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method, using the novel JPRUT, published by Basabasi in 2017 and comprising 184 pages, as its data source. Data consisting of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences related to social conflict were collected through close reading, note-taking, and library research, and then analyzed through identification, classification, and interpretation. The results identified 23 data units, comprising 8 units on forms of social conflict, 7 units on causal factors, and 8 units on the impacts of conflict. The forms of conflict included intragroup and intergroup conflict. The causal factors included differences among individuals, differences in social class, differences in interests, and social change. The impacts of conflict included the breakdown of group unity, changes in personality, and the destruction of social values and norms. This study concludes that social conflict in JPRUT is represented as dynamics associated with personal interests, social status, economic pressures, and changing values in society. These findings provide an understanding of the relationships among the forms, causes, and impacts of social conflict in literary works through Lewis A. Coser’s perspective.
