Abstract

The rapid population growth in Indonesia is leading to increased energy demands and the depletion of global energy sources. One promising to meet these escalating energy needs in the adoption of renewable energy sources like biogas. This study employs qualitative research methods to measure the response of the Islamic boarding school community in Central Java towards biogas utilization. Data analysis was conducted interactively, narratively describing insights gleaned from questionnaires completed by respondents. The findings reveal a varied response within Central Java Islamic Boarding School Community towards embracing biogas as part of efforts to enhance the national renewable energy mix. However, there is a consensus on certain aspects: respondents generally support biogas utilization as long as it is safe, sourced from clean materials, and developed in suitable locations. The exploration among ten boarding schools suggests that the government’s renewable energy initiatives require further optimization in terms of socialization and engagement with Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

Fossil energy is among the most widely utilized energy sources in Indonesian industry, but its continuous use is leading to its depleted. Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) offers an alternative made from organic and inorganic waste. Durian peel is identified as a promising raw material for RDF due to its high calorific value of 6,274 Kcal/kg. Additionally, Lubricant Treatment Sludge (LTS), which is collected from the oil treatment industry, is used to enhance RDF’s calorific value, as it contains residual oil rich in hydrocarbons. To bind the RDF components, tapioca starch, durian seeds, and rejected papaya were selected as adhesives. The mixture ratios of durian skin, LTS, and adhesive were tested at compositions (90:0:10), (85:5:10), (80:10:10), (75:15:10), and (70:20:10). Subsequent RDF characteristics analyses included tests for moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and calorific value. Based on these evaluations, the most optimal composition was determined to be 90% durian peel, 0% LTS, and 10% tapioca starch adhesive. This composition exhibited a moisture content of 1.6%, volatile matter of 74.6%, ash content of 8.4%, fixed carbon of 15.2%, and a calorific value of 3,516 Kcal/kg. Tapioca starch emerged as preferred adhesive due to its favorable properties and characteristics.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of sustainability awareness among university students, especially focusing on their knowledge, attitudes, and behavior related to sustainability across three main dimensions: environmental, social, and economic. Additionally, the study explores whether these behaviors are influenced by individuals’ beliefs about their ability to effect change. This study employed a quantitative approach involving all active students enrolled in the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Semarang. A samples of 233 respondents was selected using a non-probability sampling method. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square method. The study findings reveal that attitude towards sustainability have stronger influence on behavior than knowledge. Respondents' demonstrated a higher level of understanding of sustainability compared to their attitudes and behaviors towards it. Furthermore, concerns to economic aspects were found to impact sustainability behaviors. Most respondents expressed a belief that events around them are beyond their control. This article is expected to significantly contribute to aligning policies and practices, particularly in fostering sustainability awareness, and serve as a basis for achieving sustainable development initiatives.

Abstract

Limited heavy metal concentrations in drinking water are harmful. The size-exclusion separation process was found to be a technology for removing heavy metals and organic substances. Although promising, a single ultrafiltration process is insufficient for the separation of heavy metals. Therefore, an additional process is required. The combination of coagulation flocculation followed by ultrafiltration was investigated. In this study, water matrix was used to simulate the worst-case scenario by adding 2 mg of copper to the surface water. For the filtration process, a comparison of single ultrafiltration with and without pretreatment using aluminum sulfate was investigated. Filtration was performed in a lab-scale experiment employing a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane with an average pore size of 30 nm operated at constant flux 120 L/m²⋅h and constant pressure of 0.7 bar. Furthermore, TDS retention, copper concentration, and turbidity were observed. Higher Cu removal was found at filtration under constant flux compared to constant pressure (81% and 66%, respectively. In the case of treated water with coagulation (optimum coagulation of 30 mg/L), higher removal of Cu was observed at constant flux operation compared to constant pressure, with 73% and 89% removal, respectively. Additional coagulation resulted in less membrane fouling during the filtration experiment, which explained the better performance almost double that of single ultrafiltration.

Abstract

The study aimed to assess the ecotoxicological risk associated with the indiscriminate disposal of spent engine oil on terrestrial ecosystem using earthworm and microbial assays. Soil samples were collected from a depth of 0-20 cm and subjected to standard analytical protocols for analysis. Earthworms (assessed by mortality rate) and microorganisms (evaluated for inhibitory effects) covered a wide range of short-term lethal and sub-lethal endpoints used for risk characterization, analyzed through Probit analysis. The result of acute toxicity assay revealed that microbial absorbance rated depended on the dose and type of organism, ranking in the order: Acinetobacter > Enterobacter > Bacillus species >Pseudomonas. Aas oil concentratoin increase, mortality among earthworm was observed.  Risk Quotient (RQ) values for Zea mays, Vigna unguiculata, Glycine max and earthworm varied from low to very high risk based on estimated Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC) values. Microorganisms exhibited differing level of biotolerance to spent engine oil exposure as indicated by respective risk quotient values. Exposure to spent engine oil posed minimal risk to Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., and Acinetobacter sp.,  with RQ values below unity (< 1). Conversely, Enterobacter sp. Showed a high risk with values above unity. Earthworms play a pivotal role in agriculture due to their numerous economic benefots. Soil microorganisms are essential for maintening soil quality by performing vital processes. The antimicrobial properties of spent engine oil on soil may distort microbial activities, potentially inhibiting their growth and leading to alterations in ecological functionality of the soil.

Abstract

Ocimum americanum (Basil) encompasses various uses. The plant is valued both as a food additive for its aromatic qualities and in folk medicine for treating various ailments. However, its uses, distribution, and the associated community knowledge have not been properly and systematically documented. Therefore, a survey was conducted to explore the bio-prospecting potential of Ocimum americanum and gather baseline information on its community knowledge. Purposive and proportional samplings were used to select districts, villages, users, and growers who participated in the study. The selected districts - Dembiya, Gonder Zuria, Takusa, Alefa, Bahir Dar city, and Bahir Dar Zuria Districts - were selected based on the plant’s growth potential and user availability. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, group discussions, and field observations. The findings revealed that basil is used for various purposes: ailment treatment (32.67%), food flavoring (26.6%), food preservative (7.7%), and to impart aroma to different foods (8.33%). Specifically, 32.67 % of the respondents used Ocimum americanum for traditional medicine purposes, primarily to treat depression/headaches, stomach aches, and ward off evil spirits. The methods for preparation and administration included concoction (21.05 %), direct application of plant parts (15.79%), grinding (15.79%), melting (5.26%), Fumigation (10.53%), and inhalation (31.58%). Medicinal dosage varied among users depending on the intensity, type, experience, and the severity of the disease. Nine traditional foods spiced, with basil were identified, with the highest fidelity level for basil use being food flavoring (18.33%) followed by preservation (18.33%). The direct matrix analysis indicated that chilli pepper spice was the most preferred local food sweetened by basil, followed by hot-spiced pepper. This study highlights the traditional foods spiced with basil and providesvaluable insights for bio-prospecting companies in the food and pharmacological industries.

Abstract

Food waste is critical issue in developing countries, including Indonesia, affecting both the retail and consumers. In the case of vegetables, food waste frequently arises due to their short shelf life, spoilage, and physical damage. Additionally, the instability of vegetable prices creates challenges for consumers in meeting their needs. In sufficiency in the vegetable supply chain exacerbate the problem leading to leftovers and waste. This research aims to explore the causes of vegetable food and propose effective procurement strategies to mitigate it. A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected through structured interviews involving 127 vegetable traders. The analysis utilized ANOVA to examine the effect of traders’ demographic characteristics on factors contributing to food waste. The results showed that demographics factors, such as age, daily turnover, and market location, significantly influence procurement strategies. Key findings underscore the importance of proper packaging tailored to the specific type of vegetable and the need for supplier intervention, to ensure adequate packaging during delivery, thereby maintaining vegetable quality. Moreover, traders with higher turnover rates are advised to carefully manage their purchasing practices to minimize waste. These insights highlight the critical role of procurement strategies in reducing vegetable food waste and the need for targeted interventions across the supply chain.

Abstract

Urbanization can create uncertainty for biodiversity. Understanding the spatial distribution of trees along urban-rural gradients is crucial for sustainable land management and the conservation of biological diversity. However, limited information is available on the factors influencing the distribution of trees outside forests along urban-rural transition gradients. This paper uses the Preferred Reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to review how distance from urban centers, land use types, socio-economic disparities, and community attitudes and perceptions impact the spatial distribution of trees outside forests along urban-rural gradients. The review indicates that the species composition, diversity, density, and spatial arrangement of trees outside forests vary along the urban-rural gradient. The most commonly cited factors influencing this distribution are respondents' attitudes and perceptions of trees, socio-economic factors, and land use variations. Distance from the urban center was the least cited factor. However, there is significant variation in how different factors impact this distribution from study to study. Therefore, further research is needed to better understand the factors driving changes in the diversity of trees outside forests in various urban-rural contexts and to determine whether variations exist across different settings.

Abstract

Renewable energy sources and pollution have a direct effect on each other. Solar panels development could enhance the adoption of green energy sources and contribute to a cleaner environment. Today's third generation organic photovoltaic panels (OPVs) offer good efficiency, low fabrication costs, and can be produces rapidly using slot-die coating methods. These advantages make OPVs increasingly attractive for broadening solar energy consumption. Therefore, related studies are being conducted to achieve this goal. This study aimed to evaluate real-world performance of OPVs in polluted air by testing a fully slot-die-coating OPV module in Tehran’s polluted environment, specifically at four air quality control stations. The results showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.3% under standard test condition (STC) and maximum power output of 0.189 W in 5×6 cm module, which include ITO/PET, PEI, P3HT-PCBM, PEDOT-PSS, and AGNW layers. Testing in polluted environment revealed a significant dicrease in current and maximum power (Pmax) due to reduced sunlight reaching the module’s surface. Pmax dropped to 0.0229 W at least polluted site in Masodieh Street and to 0.0173 W at the most polluted site in Shahr-e Rey Street.
