Abstract

This study investigates the behavior of engine oil modeled as a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid using the Power-Law equation under high operational conditions. The computational domain represents the lubricating oil film between the piston and cylinder wall. The governing equations include incompressible continuity and Navier–Stokes equa- tions coupled with a shear-rate-dependent viscosity model. Results show that shear rate con- centrates near the piston surface, reaching the order of 107 s−1 due to strong velocity gradients. As a consequence, effective viscosity decreases significantly in high shear regions, confirming shear-thinning behavior. The viscosity reduction directly affects the hydrodynamic pressure distribution while maintaining stable lubrication performance. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating shear-dependent viscosity to accurately predict lubrication characteristics in piston–cylinder systems operating at elevated shear conditions.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to empower members of the 015-016 Scout Group at SMP Swasta Dolok Ilir, Indonesia, through digital screen-printing training to foster creative entrepreneurship. The program was implemented using a participatory and experiential learning approach, integrating digital graphic design training, hands-on practice with Direct-to-Film (DTF) screen-printing technology, product production, and basic entrepreneurial orientation. Training activities were supported by international collaboration with lecturers from Malaysia as part of strengthening Indonesia–Malaysia cooperation in education and community engagement. The results showed a clear improvement in participants’ digital skills, creativity, and practical production abilities. Most participants were able to independently design and produce screen-printed products with acceptable quality standards. The provision of modern screen-printing equipment and the establishment of a Creative Entrepreneurial Corner within the school further supported program sustainability by enabling continuous practice and school-based entrepreneurial activities. Furthermore, participants learned how to package and brand their products while exploring e-commerce platforms to access broader markets. The establishment of a school-based Creative Entrepreneurial Corner under the Scout Group further strengthened program continuity, serving as a platform for ongoing practice and business development. Overall, this initiative demonstrates that integrating digital skills with entrepreneurial training can significantly enhance the self-reliance, creativity, and economic potential of rural youth, offering a replicable model for community development in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and measure environmental performance efficiency in residential areas in Medan City using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method combined with a fuzzy approach. Environmental performance is measured based on relevant inputs and outputs, where the data used are secondary data obtained from previous research reports. Fuzzification is applied to address uncertainty in the data by converting input and output values into Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN). The results of the study show that out of the 4 Decision Making Units (DMUs) studied without using the fuzzy approach, only the Helvetia housing complex achieved 100% efficiency. Meanwhile, the efficiency values for Tuntungan, Martubung, and Johor housing estates were 85.92%, 88.69%, and 94.87%, respectively. When the fuzzy approach was applied, the efficiency values of the Johor and Helvetia housing estates reached 100% efficiency, while the Tuntungan and Martubung housing estates had an efficiency of 78.22%, indicating inefficiency. This inefficiency is caused by excessive use of drainage inputs, indicating that these housing complexes are unable to produce environmental outputs commensurate with the inputs used. This study recommends improving the quality and quantity of environmental management and cleanliness, as well as the availability and quality of green spaces, to enhance environmental efficiency in housing. The findings of this study provide important insights into the efficiency of environmental performance measurement and highlight opportunities for improvement in environmental management within housing.

Abstract

Budidaya lebah kelulut (Heterotrigona itama) di kawasan pesisir tropis merupakan peluang ekonomi yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh masyarakat Desa Bagan Kuala, Serdang Bedagai. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Desa Binaan Universitas Sumatera Utara bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan mangrove, budidaya lebah kelulut, dan identifikasi hama serta pengelolaan habitat mangrove secara berkelanjutan. Program melibatkan 12 peserta lokal dan dilaksanakan melalui survei, sosialisasi, focus group discussion, pelatihan, praktik lapangan, pendampingan, dan evaluasi pada Agustus–September 2023. Peserta memperoleh tiga stup lebah kelulut beserta peralatan pendukung budidaya, sedangkan perangkap warna digunakan untuk mendukung pemantauan serangga pada kawasan mangrove. Program juga mendukung kegiatan penanaman 5.000 bibit mangrove. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman peserta dari 40% sebelum program menjadi 90% setelah kegiatan. Integrasi konservasi mangrove dan budidaya lebah kelulut diharapkan dapat memperkuat peluang mata pencaharian yang ramah lingkungan dan berkontribusi terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat pesisir di Desa Bagan Kuala, Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai, Sumatera Utara.
