Areca nut husk fibers have the potential to be used as reinforcement in polymer composites as a substitute for synthetic fibres. In the manufacture of fibre composites, one of the important factors in determining the strength is the matrix to fibre ratio. This study aims to determine the effective ratio or fraction between areca nut husk fibre and orthophthalic polyester resin. Before using areca nut husk fibre, it was chemically treated so that only cellulose remained in the fibre. The areca nut husk fibre was processed into sheets. The composite was manufactured using the hand lay-up technique. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties. Based on the results of the tests conducted, there are differences in the mechanical properties of the composites. The tensile test results show that the 40% fibre fraction has the highest tensile strength and modulus values. On the other hand, in the flexure tests, the highest tensile strength and modulus values are found in the 30% fibre fraction.

This qualitative study focuses on occupational safety and health in vocational school machining workshops to identify significant risks related to training practices. Workplace accidents are considered a serious threat to workers and equipment, potentially affecting productivity and environmental safety. Observations at several vocational schools, especially at SMK Negeri 1 Batipuh, showed low student awareness and compliance with OHS regulations, increasing the risk of risky behaviour and accidents. To address this, the research used the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method, which systematically identifies hazards, evaluates risks based on severity and likelihood, and proposes control measures. The research at SMK Negeri 1 Batipuh involved direct observation, interviews, and analysis of SOPs in the workshop, finding significant risk variations in workshop conditions, lathe operations, welding, material handling, hand tool use, and machine protection. The results highlighted the predominance of intermediate risks in all-hazards analyzed, emphasizing the importance of developing more effective risk management strategies. This research aims to reduce accidents and improve student safety during training by addressing existing OHS implementation gaps and implementing appropriate risk controls. In addition to filling a gap in the literature, this study provides practical insights for improving OHS practices in vocational schools.

The mensiang (scirpuss grossus) is a plant that grows on moist and watery land. Mensiang plants are commonly used by the society to produce mats or bags that have a strong and durable texture. This mensiang plant has fibres that can be used as reinforcement in polymer composites as a substitute for synthetic fibres. In composite manufacturing, one of the important factors in determining strength is the fraction between fibre and matrix. This study was conducted to determine the effect of different volume fractions of composites on the tensile strength of mensiang fibre reinforcement. Extraction of fibre from the stem of the mensiang plant was done manually by combing, so that the fibre was obtained. The fibres were then naturally dried by the sun for 2-3 days. The composite manufacturing process was carried out by using the hand lay-up method. Specimens and tensile testing procedures refer to the ASTM D638 standard. Several specimens were made by varying the fibre and matrix fractions. The test results showed that the 12.5% fibre volume fraction had the highest tensile strength. In this study there was no chemical treatment on the fibres before the lamination process, thus, this can be suggested for future researchers to study on the effect of chemical treatment on mensiang fibres on fibre bonding with the matrix.

This study explores the effectiveness of the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model, supported by flashcard media, in enhancing student learning outcomes in Manufacturing Technical Drawing at SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra. A quasi-experimental control group design was employed, where the experimental group used the STAD method integrated with flashcards, and the control group received traditional lecture-based instruction. Post-test results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, achieving a higher mean score of 79.68 compared to 63.84, with an N-Gain score of 50.81%, indicating moderate improvement. The study found that the STAD model, combined with flashcards, boosted academic achievement and promoted more consistent and equitable learning outcomes. Flashcards played a vital role by simplifying complex concepts and enhancing student engagement. This study fills a gap in vocational education by demonstrating the effectiveness of combining cooperative learning and visual aids in technical education. The research offers valuable insights for educators in similar contexts, proposing a cost-effective and scalable instructional method that can be applied across various technical disciplines. However, the study’s limitation lies in its short-term implementation, and further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of this combined learning strategy.
