Abstract

Vehicle inspection services are essential for maintaining transportation safety and regulatory compliance. However, daily inspection volumes in developing regions exhibit high stochastic fluctuations due to operational closures and reporting inconsistencies, making direct daily forecasting unreliable. This study proposes a weekly vehicle inspection forecasting framework using ensemble machine learning with temporal signal processing. Accurate forecasting is critical for resource allocation, staffing, and service management. The dataset covers January 2020 to December 2024 from Malang Regency, Indonesia, aggregated into 258 weekly observations. Weekly aggregation acts as a low-pass filter (ω_c = 1/7 day⁻¹) to reduce high-frequency noise while preserving seasonal dynamics. Four regression models were evaluated: Random Forest (R² = 0.6198, MAE = 69.85), XGBoost (R² = 0.7198, MAE = 55.68), Gradient Boosting (R² = 0.7373, MAE = 46.41), and a weighted ensemble (R² = 0.7164, MAE = 55.89). Conventional regression methods including Linear Regression, Ridge, and Lasso were also tested as baselines. Gradient Boosting achieved the best performance. The findings indicate that tree-based ensemble models capture non-linear temporal dynamics more effectively than conventional approaches. This study demonstrates that ensemble machine learning with signal processing provides practical forecasting tools for transportation service planning.

Abstract

All state-owned enterprises are obligated to implement risk management effectively. Risk management implementation can be assessed using the Risk Maturity Index (RMI). The 2024 RMI assessment at one of the state-owned energy subsidiaries indicated that the Company is at the "Developing" stage (score 2.9 out of 5). Critical weaknesses occurred because the company had not conducted a comprehensive risk capacity calculation. Risk capacity constitutes a key component of an organization's risk threshold and serves as the basis for determining risk appetite, risk tolerance, and risk limits. This study aims to identify an appropriate method for calculating the risk threshold value and to apply the selected approach for the year 2026. Risk capacity is calculated based on the Company's financial statements from 2019 to 2024 using a Modified Altman Z-Score approach is proposed to determine the financial distress point as a measure of risk capacity. The resulting risk capacity was estimated at IDR 1.42 trillion and subsequently validated using the Value at Risk (VaR) method. The findings of this study are expected to provide a quantitative basis for the Company in formulating its 2026 risk strategy, while also contributing to the improvement of its RMI score.

Abstract

Corrosion frequently affects steel. Although it is an unavoidable natural process, its progression can be managed and its rate reduced. One strategy for mitigating corrosion is the use of corrosion inhibitors. Inhibitors derived from organic sources are widely employed because of their high inhibition efficiency. Sap extract from Merkubung (Macaranga gigantea) can function as a corrosion inhibitor due to the presence of secondary metabolites such as tannins. Tannins are promising corrosion inhibitors since their –OH groups enable them to form complexes with metal surfaces. This study evaluates the performance of a nanoemulsion containing Merkubung sap extract as a steel corrosion inhibitor. The methodology includes extraction, nanoemulsion formulation, and assessment of corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency at various concentrations and temperatures. In this work, nanoemulsion‑based inhibitors were applied to improve corrosion protection of steel. The nanoemulsion demonstrated the lowest corrosion rate (0.902 mg cm⁻² h⁻¹) and the highest inhibition efficiency (66.05 %) at 500 ppm and 30 °C. These results show that the nanoemulsion enhances inhibition performance, making it an effective corrosion inhibitor.

Abstract

Neglected tropical diseases are still part of the health problems faced by the world. One of the neglected tropical diseases that has not yet reached 100% elimination is leprosy. Mycobacterium leprae is the pathogen responsible for leprosy, a chronic infectious disease that affects the skin and peripheral nerves and can lead to significant disability if left untreated. Currently, the gold standard for diagnosis is detecting acid-fast bacilli (AFB) with Ziehl-Neelsen staining; however, this method cannot distinguish between living and dead bacteria, complicating treatment assessment, relapse detection, and resistance tracking. Therefore, more accurate diagnostic instruments that can differentiate bacterial viability are needed. Since M.leprae cannot be cultured in artificial media, molecular-based assays are promising tools for rapid diagnosis. This study aims to identify recent assays for assessing bacterial viability in leprosy. Articles used are limited to the publication year between 2019 until 2024 from databases such as PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus and Google Scholar, using PRISMA methods. After filtration, from 143 articles we found 5 articles that discussed the viability of leprosy-causing bacteria. The selected studies showed that molecular assays to determine bacterial viability can be used and explored to strengthen the existing gold standard for monitoring treatment of leprosy patients

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health problem that often leads to systemic complications beyond neurological damage, notably gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. The mechanisms linking TBI to GI complications remain inconclusive. We conducted a systematic review using current clinical evidence on the pathophysiological processes underlying post-TBI GI dysfunction, focusing on two principal mechanisms: inflammatory-oxidative processes and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis alterations. A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus to identify eligible studies. Evidence indicates that surges of proinflammatory mediators and chemokines, along with reduced anti-inflammatory mediators, drive systemic immune imbalance. Moreover, iNOS upregulation and gut microbiota dysbiosis contribute to mucosal injury. Concurrently, HPA axis dysregulation exerts a bidirectional impact. Elevated ACTH and cortisol reflect an intact stress response that may stabilise metabolism if combined with early enteral nutrition, whereas critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) and hypergastrinemia are strongly associated with gastrointestinal bleeding and mortality. Together, these findings underscore the synergistic role of inflammatory and endocrine disturbances in driving gastrointestinal vulnerability after TBI. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing biomarker-based monitoring and targeted interventions to improve prognosis and reduce GI-related complications in TBI patients.

Abstract

Karst regions exhibit unique geological characteristics due to the dissolution of carbonate rocks, lending to the formation of complex underground aquifer systems. This study was conducted in BayemharjoVillage, Giritontro Sub-district, Wonogiri Regency part of the Sewu Karst Zone to identify aquifer potential using the dipole dipole electrical resistivity method. The survey was carried out along three measurement lines ranging from 216 to 710 meters in length, utilizing 72 electrodes with 10 meter spacing. The research involved data acquisition, processing, and interpretation using specialized resistivity software. Interpretation result revealed rock layers with potential as aquifers, particulary those with porous and permeable lithologies such as sandy limestone. Additionally, the presence of aquitard and aquiclude layers was identified, acting as barriers or flow paths for groundwater movement. The resistivity patterns and geological structures indicate the existence of groundwater pockets at various depths, which are crucial for managing clean water resources in this drought-prone region. The resistivity method prove to be effective in delineating aquifers zone within the complex karst environment.

Abstract

Flood disasters frequently occur in West Sumatra and cause multidimensional impacts on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Beyond physical and economic damage, MSMEs face serious administrative and legal challenges, particularly in restoring trademark legality due to lost documents, disrupted archives, and limited access to legal services. These conditions weaken legal protection and reduce business competitiveness during post-disaster recovery. This study aims to engineer a Smart Law application, a digital portal integrated with artificial intelligence (AI), designed to support post-disaster trademark legality recovery for MSMEs in Sumatra. The research employed a research and development (R&D) approach consisting of needs assessment, system design, prototype development, and limited user testing. Data were collected through literature review, regulatory analysis, interviews with disaster-affected MSMEs, and field observations, and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The results indicate that the Smart Law application is capable of delivering structured legal information, contextual guidance, and AI-based preliminary recommendations tailored to MSME conditions. The application functions as an initial legal assistance tool that improves accessibility, efficiency, and understanding of trademark recovery procedures in post-disaster contexts. This study contributes to the development of AI-assisted legal services and digital solutions for MSME resilience in disaster-prone regions.
