Abstract

This study aims atexamining the condition of chitosan/alginate scaffold processing for tissue engineering applications. Chitosan 90.2% DD and Ca-alginate were both dissolved in 1% acetic acid and varied by volume ratios (v/v) (80:20, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, 20:80) . The scaffold is printed to a glass mold, allowed to stand at room temperature for 24 hours, and thenheated in an oven at a temperature of 40oC for 48 hours. The outcome of this research product was in form of non-transparent thin sheets. FTIR test results revealed a number of peaks which indicated a certain level ofinteraction between chitosan, and Ca-alginate. The thermal degradation test established that there is a reduction in the melting point of the scaffold when there is a higher concentration in the material. It also indicated that there is an increase in the decomposition point in line with an increase in chitosan. Scaffold samples are physically superior as regards the easy handling of wet conditions (fixed shape and not easily torn), and providesunexpected results in aspects of biocompatibility.

Abstract

Aceh Province has 23 active faults in land which very devastating and destruvtive. It makes Aceh very vulnerable to earthquake, same like in one of major cities in Aceh Province, Lhoksumawe, which has an active fault that passes through inside its territory. Lhoksumawe fault is located in the Northen part of Aceh, very close to Lhoksumawe city as the mother city in there. According to BMKG earthquake information, there was a moderate earthquake with M4.7 at June 19th 2016. The hypocenter is located in the sea and suspected by Lhoksumawe fault. So far, some reference about Lhoksumawe fault can't describe exactly this fault, whether it's down to the sea or not. We must concern and know the activity of this fault, because the fault is still active even has small slip rate just 1 mm/year, but can generate the earthquake until M 6.5. We make the seismicity map and some scenarios to calculate and analyze the slip direction, displacement and stress model. We assume the earthquake has strike-slip mechanism with right-lateral movement at 10 km depth and located in the center of this fault. With M6.5, slip until 5 m and fault dimension 40 x 15 km, we can get good model and scenarios. The results show us, if the vertical displacement has positive value until 0.5 m and horizontal until 1 m, which following the double couple pattern. For stress, we use the effective stress which very simple to knowing the stress rate, the highest value until 1 MPa. This results is very important to know how the earthquake activity with strikeslip mechanism occurred Lhoksumawe Fault, because, Lhoksumawe city has large population and highly developed economic growth, natural disasters such as earthquakes must really be a concern in this region.
