Abstract

Energy-dense, low-nutrient, and ultra-processed diets rich in fat can be a risk factor for fatty liver disease. Fragrant pandan is a plant that grows widely in Indonesia and is widely used as a herbal plant. This study aimed to determine the potential of fragrant pandan leaf ethanol extract (FPLEE) to reduce ALT and AST levels. It is a posttest control group design experiment. A total of 24 Rattus norvegicus specimens. All groups were given high-fat food for two weeks, except for NC. In the next two weeks, S was induced by simvastatin and FPLEE; T1, T2, and T3 were induced by 8, 16, and 32 mg/200 g BW/day, respectively. The One-Way ANOVA test results showed α=0.000 for ALT and α=0.029 for AST. Post-hoc LSD showed that NC was significantly different from T1, T2, and T3 (p<0.05); therefore, FPLEE was unable to reduce ALT levels. For AST levels, NC was significantly different from C+, T1, and T2 (P<0.05). Thus, T3 (32 mg/200 g BW/day of FPLEE) yielded the best results in reducing AST levels (p>0.05). Based on these results, FPLEE has side effects on liver function, as seen in increased blood ALT levels, but it can reduce blood AST levels.

Abstract

Al-Cu alloys are promising material for engineering field due to their good mechanical properties. These characteristics could be obtained by addition of some elements and correct selected processes parameter. The purposes of this current study to investigate the effect of Cu contents and compaction pressure on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the Al-Cu alloy synthesized by powder metallurgy route. High purity Al and Cu elements are used as starting material with composition (21.0, 24.0, 27.0, 30.0, and 33.0) wt.%Cu with 210 MPa of compaction pressure. The varying compaction pressure 160, 180 and 180 MPa were carried for 15 minute holding time. Furthermore, a conventional sintering at 500oC for 1 hour holding time take place. The hardness test resulted that the increases of Cu contents was successfully improved the hardness, which is the maximum hardness 53.2 HV and 71.47 MPa of the compressive strength obtained by 33wt. Cu addition. On the other hand, the varying of compaction pressure resulted the maximum hardness and compressive strength are 25.6 HV and 60.8 MPa respectively for 200 MPa. The microstructure observation shows the increases of Cu promoted more Cu elements dispersed between the aluminum rinh matrix. The increase of compressive strength is encourages finer Al-Cu grain in the microstructure.

Abstract

Alginate is used as an emulsifier in food production. Its non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and hydrophilic properties are very promising for industrial use. Alginate can be obtained from brown seaweed because the alginate content in brown seaweed reaches 40% of its dry weight. The alginate extraction process can be carried out in 5 main stages, 1) extraction process using mineral acids, 2) filtering or centrifugation process, 3) re-soaking of the residue using an alkaline solution, 4) precipitation process, and 5) purification. Emulsifiers are molecules that adsorb on the surface of the droplets formed during the homogenization process and form a protective membrane that keeps the droplets from agglomerating. The use of alginate as an emulsifier in food has been carried out by several researchers. The results indicate that alginate substitution in food products has a significant effect on emulsion stability, where the stability of emulsions using alginate is higher than that of emulsions without alginate substitution. In addition, there was a positive interaction between alginate-substituted food products and food products without alginate substitution (control) on storage time. This research aims to provide an overview of the method or process of extracting alginate from brown seaweed (Phaeophyceae) and utilizing alginate as an emulsifier for food.

Abstract

Biodiesel represents a renewable, environmentally friendly, and locally producible alternative to conventional diesel fuel. This research synthesized biodiesel from kapok seed oil (Ceiba pentandra) via transesterification using a TiO₂ catalyst, with process parameters optimized to maximize yield. Kapok seed oil was extracted using Soxhlet extraction with n-hexane and purified by vacuum column chromatography. The transesterification process involved systematic variation of the oil-to-methanol molar ratio, catalyst mass, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Optimal conditions were established at a 1:10 molar ratio, 0.20 g of catalyst mass, a reaction temperature of 60 °C, and a reaction time of 90 minutes, resulting in a biodiesel yield of 71.58%. Characterization of the biodiesel revealed a density of 0.88 g/mL, viscosity of 3.10 cSt, acid value of 1.89 mg NaOH/g, and saponification value of 231.879 mg KOH/g. GC-MS analysis identified methyl palmitate, methyl linoleate, and methyl oleate as the principal methyl ester components, with methyl oleate as the predominant species. These findings demonstrate that biodiesel derived from kapok seed oil possesses properties suitable for use as an alternative fuel that meets established quality standards.

Abstract

Wire rope is a critical lifting component in Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, whose failure can lead to catastrophic system breakdowns, posing significant safety risks and operational losses. This study investigates the root causes of wire rope failure on a 40-ton capacity STS crane. The methodology integrates Root Cause Analysis (RCA) with a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation using ANSYS Static Structural. The analyzed wire rope has a 28 mm diameter, a 6x36 IWRC configuration, and is made of galvanized high-carbon steel. Simulation results under full operational load revealed a maximum von Mises stress of 681 MPa, exceeding the material's yield strength (≈650 MPa), a total displacement of 16 cm, and a critically low safety factor of 0.53. The failure location was identified on the outer strands at the contact points with sheaves, indicating high-stress concentration zones. Furthermore, the calculated Safe Working Load (SWL) for a standard safety factor of 5 was 82.83 kN, which is drastically lower than the 400 kN operational load per rope, confirming severe overstress conditions. The RCA fishbone diagram identified key contributing factors: material specification mismatch, suboptimal sheave design, inadequate maintenance protocols, and insufficient design-stage analysis. The study concludes that the wire rope is unfit for service under current conditions and recommends immediate replacement, revised preventive maintenance schedules incorporating FEA, design optimization of support components, and implementation of real-time load monitoring systems.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of thermoelectric cooler driven by solar energy in Medan city, Indonesia. This cooler able to use in a remote area where electricity is still not available. The cooler could be used to store beverage that must be stored at low temperatures to maintain the freshness such as drink cup. The solar thermoelectric cooler is based on the principles of a thermoelectric module or Peltier effect to create a hot side and a cold side. The cold side of the thermoelectric module is utilized for cooling purposes to the cooling space. The heat from the hot side of the module is rejected to ambient surroundings by using heat sinks and fans. The solar thermoelectric cooler was experimentally tested for the cooling purpose. Experimental results showed that the solar thermoelectric cooler could reduce the temperature of the drink cup from 26oC to 15oC in approximately 40 min. The maximum COP of the cooling system during the experiment was calculated and found to be about 0.356. The effect of weather conditions on the COP value was about 85.90%.
