Abstract

The development of sustainable and cost-effective biomaterials is a primary focus in modern biomedical engineering. Addressing the critical need for circular economy solutions, this study introduces a novel ternary hydrogel composite integrating cellulose extracted from rice husk waste into a Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and Guar Gum (GG) matrix. Cellulose was successfully extracted through alkalization and bleaching processes, with FTIR analysis confirming the removal of lignin and hemicellulose. The optimization of the hydrogel matrix demonstrated that a composition of 12.5% PVA and 1% Guar Gum (F2) exhibited superior mechanical properties, achieving a Tensile Strength (TS) of 10.49 MPa and Elongation at Break (EB) of 271.17%. However, the incorporation of rice husk cellulose (F3) unexpectedly resulted in a significant reduction in mechanical integrity, with TS dropping to 5.48 MPa. Uniquely, this research elucidates the mechanistic origin of this trade-off: SEM analysis provided definitive evidence that the failure was attributed to severe cellulose agglomeration and poor interfacial adhesion, which acted as structural defects. Furthermore, the study reveals a critical artifact where structural failure correlated with an increased Swelling Ratio (245.8%), proving that the observed high-water uptake was driven by passive void filling rather than true network hydrophilicity. The study concludes that while rice husk is a viable source of cellulose, simple solution blending is insufficient for reinforcement. Future research must prioritize high-energy dispersion techniques to overcome agglomeration and realize the material's potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola konsumsi dan motivasi Generasi Z (Gen Z) di Indonesia dalam menonton televisi linear di era konvergensi digital, dengan menggunakan data Nielsen Audience Measurement (NAM). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan metode campuran (mixed-methods) dengan desain sekuensial eksplanatoris. Data kuantitatif dari Nielsen NAM (2023) dianalisis secara deskriptif, sementara data kualitatif dikumpulkan melalui Diskusi Kelompok Terarah (FGD) dengan 24 responden Gen Z (usia 18-24 tahun). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penontonan TV Gen Z terkonsentrasi pada waktu utama (prime time, 19.00-22.00 WIB) dengan rating rata-rata 4,2, didominasi oleh genre hiburan (variety show, kompetisi realitas) dan olahraga sebagai tontonan yang ditunggu (appointment viewing). Durasi menonton rata-rata adalah 78 menit per hari, mengindikasikan perilaku snacking konten. Empat motivasi utama teridentifikasi: motif sosial-ritual (menonton bersama keluarga), keseruan momen (eventfulness - mengalami acara langsung), kemudahan (effortlessness - menghindari kelelahan memutuskan), dan latar audio-visual. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa TV linear telah mengalami refungsionalisasi bagi Gen Z -- dari sumber informasi utama menjadi media pelengkap untuk kebutuhan sosial dan situasional yang spesifik. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan teori Uses and Gratifications di era konvergensi dan memberikan wawasan praktis bagi industri penyiaran.
