Abstract

Volcanic soil is a part of interest for physical, chemical, and morphology studies of soil derived from volcanic ash, which is known to be fertile and is one of the most productive soils in the world. They are also known to have a high environmental carrying capacity, as evidenced by the dense population in the area around the volcano. The soil contains many minerals, one of which is magnetic minerals. However, there is no document so far that records the value of the magnetic susceptibility of volcanic soil on the surface of Mount Singgalang. This study aims to determine the abundance of magnetic minerals based on their magnetic susceptibility values. To achieve this goal, the rock magnetism method is applied with the Bartington magnetic susceptibility meter type MS2B sensor instrument. Magnetic susceptibility values can be used as initial characteristics to understand past volcanic processes and explain environmental changes. This method is very effective, inexpensive, sensitive, fast, and non-destructive. The results showed that the value of the magnetic susceptibility of volcanic soils varied with a value range of 93.3 - 352.5 (x10−8 m3/kg). Based on this value, it is assumed that the magnetic mineral properties are antiferromagnetic. The average frequency dependent susceptibility (χfd) (%) ranges from 0.831 - 2.090 %, indicating that the measured volcanic soil contains almost no superparamagnetic grains and is generally dominated by multi-domain grains.

Abstract

Padang city is one of the regions of Indonesia that has potential in the tourism sector, one of which is beach tourism. The tourism sector is one of the largest sectors and the main mainstay for the economy in various countries, including Indonesia. Countries that rely on the tourism sector must pay attention to several factors that attract tourists, one of which is climate comfort. Climate information is a major factor in choosing a tourist trip. This study aims to analyze the level of climate comfort in the coastal tourism area of Padang City using the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) method. HCI uses climate parameters such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and cloud cover. HCI calculation data in the form of observation data obtained from the Meteorology Climatology Geophysics Agency (BMKG) station at Minangkabau International Airport and the Teluk Bayur Maritime Meteorology Station from 2011-2020, direct measurement data from August to September, and questionnaires. The results of the HCI analysis show that the city of Padang is comfortable throughout the year, with the HCI value in the range of 58.6-71.6 which is categorized as acceptable to very good. The results obtained through direct measurements also obtained comfortable results throughout the day with HCI values in the range of 70-80. Perceptions of tourists interviewed also stated that overall tourists felt comfortable with the percentage of respondents as much as 74.1%. HCI can be used as a source of information to determine the value of climate comfort in tourist areas.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the category of comfortable thermal sensation in traveling based on the value of the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) thermal index. The research sites were selected in Padang Beach (PP), Air Manis Beach (PAM) and Nirwana Beach (PN). Calculation of perception of comfort using questionnaire data to visitors. PET calculation data is sourced from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in 2011-2020 and direct measurement data. The results show that the PET thermal sensation category for the Padang City coastal area throughout the year (2011-2020) is included in the "warm" category for tourism activities. Likewise, direct measurements show the "very hot" category with a PET value of 40.3ºC. However, interviews with visitors showed that the overall comfort condition was “neutral” (62%). This is due to environmental conditions that provide a comfortable effect on visitors. The majority of visitors were interviewed under the auspices. Although the measured air temperature is classified as "high", the effects of trees, walking paths and rest areas make visitors feel comfortable.

Abstract

Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is a thermal power plant using one or several nuclear reactors as its heat source. NPP uses radioactive materials such as uranium as the heat source by utilizing fission reactions. The fission reaction produces enormous heat energy. Currently, there are many studies on NPPs, ranging from technological developments to the environmental impact of the NPP itself. This study aims to identify research developments on nuclear power plants from around the world obtained from relevant international journals in 2017-2023. The method used in this study is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The SLR method is used to identify, review, evaluate, and conclude all available research with interesting topic areas, with specific relevant research questions. Data were obtained by searching journals with Harzing's Publish or Perish application from the Scopus journal database. There are 191 journals with the keyword " Nuclear Power Plant " obtained from the Scopus database. Then these journals are filtered by type of article and if the number of citations is more than 32, then 49 articles are obtained which will be reviewed. This SLR method shows the development of research on NPP in several developed countries that have been using this technology for a long time. In addition, research topics such as the Fukushima accident, fault diagnostics, and safety assessment are the most discussed topics in the research so that they can be used as a reference for countries that are developing NPP.

Abstract

Variability in the appearance of sporadic E in the Geminid Meteor Shower. The appearance of sporadic E does not always exist and suddenly appears, so sporadic E appears as a result of the Geminid Meteor Shower. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the variability in the appearance of sporadic E during the Geminid Meteor Shower. This type of research was descriptive analysis research. This research includes data collection, data processing, and data analysis on sporadic E layers. The data was linked to the Geminid Meteor Shower events on December 12, 13, and 14 in 2014, 2019, and 2020. The results of this research show that there were significant differences in the appearance of the Sporadic E layer at the peak of the Geminid Meteor shower. Where it had increased foEs and h'Es as Sporadic E layer parameters. foEs and h'Es before the peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower were known to be normal with foEs values between 2-4.2 MHz and h'Es at an altitude of 102-147 km. When the Geminid Meteor Shower peaked, foEs increased to 11.67 MHz and h'Es at an altitude of 147 km. After the peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower, there was a decline until it returned to normal with foEs ranging between 2-4.4 MHz and h'Es at an altitude of 99-147 km. An increase in foEs and h'Es was associated with the Geminid Meteor Shower phenomenon, so the Geminid Meteor Shower was variability in the appearance of Sporadic E during the Geminid meteor shower

Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas cannot be detected by sight or smell but is highly detectable and is formed from incomplete combustion such as in motor vehicles. Currently monitoring CO gas levels and measurement data at any time cannot be accessed all the time. Therefore, a measuring instrument system with data storage is required. We developed an instrument to measure CO gas levels in the air. The system developed uses the MQ-7 and ESP8266 sensors to produce a CO gas level measurement device with Cloud Storage. This research is a type of engineering research. The measurement technique used is a direct and indirect measurement. The direct measurement technique is done by comparing CO level data from standard tools with measuring instruments. Indirect measurement techniques are carried out by analyzing the data. Based on the research objectives, the specifications of the work tools are the average accuracy percentage of 97.27%, and the precision of 97.31%. Based on these result, the CO gas level measuring tool has a measurement accuracy and precision of close to 100%. So it is concluded that the CO level measuring tool can work properly

Abstract

Rainfall above normal can be categorized as extreme rainfall. Extreme rainfall can be caused by various factors, such as global, local, and regional factors. Some regional factors that influence rainfall are the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Padang City has high rainfall intensity which can result in extreme rainfall. The lack of adequate disaster mitigation results in flood disasters when extreme rainfall occurs. Therefore, this research aims to determine normal rainfall, extreme rainfall trends and the relationship between the MJO and IOD phenomena with the frequency of extreme rainfall in Padang City. This information is needed for future disaster mitigation planning. The method used is the time series method and statistical correlation test. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that Padang City is an area with an equatorial rain type, where the highest rainfall occurs in November with a value of 512 mm and the lowest in May with a value of 268 mm. The trend in extreme rainfall tends to decrease with regression coefficient values ​​of 0.0412 and 0.0708. There is a significant relationship between the number of negative IOD events and the frequency of extreme rainfall with a correlation coefficient of 0.483 and 0.403 which indicates a moderate correlation. There is no significant correlation between the number of strong MJO events in Phases 3 and 4 and the frequency of extreme rainfall, with a correlation coefficient of -0.038 – 0.105.
