Abstract

The laboratory role is huge in determining the quality of education because the laboratory produces proud scientific works, which other institutions cannot make. To get quality universities, laboratories are a priority. The laboratory is an integral part of the academic field. Laboratory management needs to be aligned with educational planning (programs and budgets). This research was carried out at the Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic (PNUP) and the Merchant Marine Polytechnic (PIP) Makassar. This research method is a comparative research type. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The method of analysis was using quantitative descriptive analysis. The results show that the Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic has a laboratory with laboratory management that is very concerned about the curriculum/module/syllabus, which is updated regularly. Comparing management laboratory includes a) understanding and access freely the modules for students, b) online laboratory schedule, c) the ratio of teachers according to the Higher Education standard of 1 : 8. For Laboratory Management at the Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic using the SOP for practicum implementation managed by a laboratory technician who has a certificate for the use of laboratory equipment. Some technicians are always available at the laboratory. The ideal laboratory to consider the ratio between the area of the laboratory room and the number of practitioners, the balance between teachers and students, the proportion of equipment, facilities, room conditions, and the equipment used condition.

Abstract

Indonesia's vast natural gas reserves present a strategic opportunity to decarbonise its maritime sector, particularly in archipelagic regions such as North Kalimantan, where small wooden and fiberglass vessels rely on high-cost, high-emission diesel fuels, posing environmental and economic challenges. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining fuel consumption simulations with stakeholder surveys and interviews to evaluate the technical, economic, and policy feasibility of adopting liquefied natural gas (LNG) for non-conventional inter-island vessels. The technical analysis compared LNG and biodiesel performance on a Mitsubishi 89 kW marine engine regarding thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption (SFC), and operational costs. Simulation results show that LNG-powered engines achieved 46.46% thermal efficiency and an SFC of 0.140 kg/kWh, compared to 33.85% and 0.1847 kg/kWh for biodiesel. An economic feasibility analysis across eight inter-island routes demonstrated fuel cost savings of 51–68% with LNG relative to biodiesel, with an estimated simple payback period of 3.2–4.5 years for dual-fuel engine retrofitting under baseline fuel price assumptions. Stakeholders acknowledged LNG's benefits but raised concerns about infrastructure limitations and regulatory readiness. This study concludes that LNG adoption for non-conventional vessels is economically and environmentally viable, particularly when aligned with Indonesia's broader energy transition strategies, and provides a scalable model for other archipelagic maritime regions seeking to reduce emissions and fuel dependency.

Abstract

Steel generally exhibits poor wear and friction resistance, making it necessary to improve its surface mechanical properties, particularly hardness and microstructure, to enhance performance. Heat treatment is one of the most effective methods for achieving these improvements. This study aimed to optimize the heat treatment parameters of S45C medium-carbon steel to improve hardness and impact strength using response surface methodology (RSM). Experimental trials were conducted at annealing temperatures of 800 °C, 850 °C, and 900 °C with holding times of 30, 60, and 90 minutes, followed by cooling in water, oil, or air. Hardness (HRC) and impact strength (Nm/mm²) were measured, and the data were analyzed using RSM with a central composite design (CCD). Quadratic models were found to be statistically significant for both hardness (Prob > F = 0.0222) and impact strength (Prob > F = 0.0338), confirming their validity. The optimization results indicated that a holding time of 60 minutes within the 850-900 °C range provides the best balance between high hardness (>55 HRC) and adequate impact strength (>0.68 Nm/mm²). These findings not only validate the predictive capability of RSM in heat treatment optimization but also provide practical guidelines for industrial applications of S45C steel in automotive, tooling, and structural components.
