Abstract

Investigation of the groundwater potential in the Pulau Baai area, Kampung Melayu Sub-district, Bengkulu City, must be carried out in such a way that the activities and needs of the people in the area can be fulfilled and the needs of the population in the area can be met. This study aims to determine the status of groundwater using the Schlumberger configuration geoelectric method. Measurements were made using a resistivity meter, and the results for each configuration depended on changes in resistivity. Measurements for each configuration depend on changes in resistivity at depth, the vertical direction (sounding), and the lateral direction (mapping), so hydrogeological analysis in this activity aims to get the maximum use of groundwater / underground water in aquifers for raw water needs. The dominant rock structures in the study area are clay, alluvium, siltstone, and sandstone, as well as some rocks with suitable porosity and permeability as water carriers, such as sand and gravel. However, what appears to have considerable potential is that groundwater is found at depths of 4-53 meters in VES 1, VES 2, VES 3, VES 5, and VES 10. The results of the analysis show that the location of the Pulau Baai, Kampung Melayu Sub-district, Bengkulu City Priority Utilization Area is within the groundwater storage area, so it can be used to meet the raw water needs of the study area.

Abstract

The study evaluated a variety of material alternatives including wood, bamboo, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), and ceramics for use in high-performance paddleboard. The selection process considers factors such as strength, density, cost, and durability with a focus on the most relevant material criteria for the product. The weighted addition method is used to evaluate and rank several alternative materials that have been selected based on these criteria. Wood and bamboo are chosen for their sustainability, CFRP for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, and ceramics for their resistance to extreme conditions. The study found that CFRP had the highest score of around 85.40 due to its superior strength and lightweight. The framework proposed in this study could provide tools for rowing teams to optimize paddle materials so that they offer the potential for increased speed and performance in the competition.

Abstract

South Sumatra had coal production through PT Bukit Asam Tbk, which had coal production since 1950. Tanjung Enim Steam Power Plant (PLTU) is the largest coal ash producer because coal is the primary fuel. Coal combustion by-products include coal fly ash (CFA) and coal bottom ash (CBA). The current utilization of the CFA Tanjung Enim Steam Power Plant is for a cement mixture of PT Semen Baturaja and planting media. This work attempts to optimize zeolite synthesis from CFA by examining the effects of hydrothermal duration on reducing coal waste. This research studies the effect of hydrothermal time with time variations of 5, 12, and 24 on the morphology and phase of zeolite obtained. CFA from the Tanjung Enim Steam Power Plant contains SiO₂ and Al₂O₃, which account for 47.7% and 28.7% of the total composition, respectively. The SEM characterization result shows that the synthesized zeolite forms aggregates with a particle size of about 8-15 μm. Based on XRD characterization of CFA hydrothermal time of 5 hours, the dominant phase is the gibbsite phase, but there is a sodalite phase. The 12-hour hydrothermal time showed the formation of quartz, gibbsite, and sodalite phases. The 24-hour hydrothermal time shows that the dominant phase is sodalite, but there are gibbsite and quartz phases. The peak of the quartz phase decreases the longer the hydrothermal time. In this study, the duration of the hydrothermal process affects the formation of the zeolite phase.

Abstract

Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition of a high bilirubin level in newborns causing a yellowish color on newborns’ skin and sclera. One of the treatment methods commonly used for hyperbilirubinemia is phototherapy in which newborns are exposed to visible light, especially within the green-blue spectrum. This study aimed to design a prototype of a portable phototherapy unit for newborns with hyperbilirubinemia. The phototherapy unit was designed by using a Surface Mounting Device Light Emitting Diode (SMD LED) with a wavelength of 400-520 nm as a light source which was attached to a fabric inside a box made of acrylic. The SMD LED strips were arranged with a spacing of 5 cm between the SMD LED arrays. The system was equipped with a monitoring system using SHT11 as a temperature and humidity sensor as well as a timer to adjust the duration of exposure and the LCD. The prototype was tested by irradiating various concentrations of artificial bilirubin solutions with a blue light produced by the phototherapy unit. The results show that the system can reduce the concentration of artificial bilirubin solution with an average reduction of 30.8%. The system shows the potential to be used as a portable phototherapy unit, further improvement on the efficacy, safety and comfort of the unit is required.

Abstract

Green synthesis of TiO2 has been successfully carried out using aloe vera. Aloe vera extract was mixed with TiCl4 while heated to obtain TiO2 powder. The FTIR spectrum showed a peak at 487.67 cm-¹ corresponding to the Ti-O-Ti functional group, which indicates the formation of TiO2 particles. The XRD results showed that the TiO2 crystals were in the anatase phase. SEM images show that the particles tend to be spherical in shape as in the anatase phase. With the Scherer equation, the size of the TiO2 crystal yielded was around 2.3 nm in diameter. The UV-vis spectrophotometer results showed the blue shift of absorption peak at 368 nm or band gap energy of 3.37 eV. A thin layer of TiO2 was made by using the slip casting method. These thin films were applied to methylene blue and sasirangan waste samples for photodegradation tests. The exposure times used were 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 minutes. The results showed photodegradation of 38.9 % and 4.5 %, respectively, for methylene blue and sasirangan waste.

Abstract

The expansion of urban areas into rural regions, known as Urban Sprawl, contributes to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, where urban areas exhibit higher temperatures than their rural counterparts. Kolaka Regency is an area with significant potential for Urban Sprawl and subsequent UHI activity. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the impact of Urban Sprawl on UHI in the Kolaka region. This study simulates these changes using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, incorporating land cover data from the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) with four urban schemes: SLUCM, BEM, and the default non-UCM/land cover. The simulation also includes the Kolaka 2042 development map for Urban Sprawl projections. Simulations were conducted over 48 non-rainfall events across 12 months. The results indicated that the WRF BIG-BEM model demonstrated the highest verification accuracy and the lowest errors, with a MAPE of 4.70%, CRMSE of 1.06°C, and a correlation coefficient of 87.62%. Including BIG land cover and the BEM urban scheme enhanced the model's performance, with a MAPE of 17.92%, CRMSE of 10.11%, and a correlation improvement of 3.18%. The UHI effect predominantly ranged from -2.0 to 2.5°C, with the highest values observed in the Pomalaa mining area and central Kolaka Regency. The UHI effect was most pronounced from evening to morning, peaking during the night and early morning hours, with increased intensity during the dry season from July to September. Regression analysis revealed a trend of increasing UHI following Urban Sprawl activity, with a trend rate of 0.91°C. The R-squared value of 96.69% indicates that Urban Sprawl activity accounted for 96.69% of the UHI intensity in Kolaka, while other unexamined variables influenced 3.31%.

Abstract

Modeling subsurface conditions using gravity anomaly data, focusing on density contrasts, provides critical insights into subsurface structures and supports identifying rock types. This study aims to define residual gravity anomalies in the Sumba region and utilize them to develop a three-dimensional subsurface model of Southwest Sumba, characterizing density contrasts and associated rock formations. Gravity data from the TOPEX dataset were employed in this research. The Airy isostasy model was applied to separate regional and residual anomalies, followed by a three-dimensional inversion using the Generalized Cross-Validation (GCV) method. The results reveal residual gravity anomalies range from -170 mGal to 211 mGal, with the Java Trench exhibiting the highest anomaly. The 3D modeling shows a relatively homogeneous density contrast at shallow depths, transitioning to more erratic variations at greater depths, extending to 15 km beneath Southwest Sumba Island. Furthermore, the calculated densities are consistent with the region's known geological background. The Java Trench, located south of Sumba, notably demonstrates a consistently high-density contrast from shallow to deeper depths, highlighting its tectonic complexity.

Abstract

Food waste and microbial contamination have led to an annual increase in foodborne diseases. One potential solution is the application of an edible spray coating (ESC) as a bioplastic, incorporating antibacterial agents. The spray technique is considered most effective due to its ease of application and controllable thickness. This research evaluates carbon black (CB) derived from coconut husk waste as an antibacterial agent in ESC. Coconut husk was selected because it contains up to 54% lignin. The ESC was formulated using a mixture of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), k-carrageenan, water hyacinth cellulose, and glycerol. Additionally, other antibacterial agents such as silver and chitosan were included as positive controls. The CB was produced through pyrolysis of coconut husk at 700 °C, with nitrogen gas added at a heating rate of 5 °C/min. The water hyacinth cellulose was extracted using a chemical method. In this study, ten ESC formulations were tested with varying concentrations of silver, chitosan, and CB. The resulting ESC viscosities ranged from 16.8 to 46.9 cP. Antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus demonstrated that ESC with 1.5% w/v CB exhibited antibacterial activity with inhibition zones of (2.2±0.3) mm and (32±3) mm, respectively. The application of ESC on cherry tomatoes and strawberries showed that samples containing CB experienced a lower weight loss over time. This indicates the potential of CB in preventing microbial contamination.

Abstract

Changes in rainfall patterns have a significant impact on agriculture and water management in arid regions such as Nusa Tenggara. Water availability in this region is highly dependent on rainfall, which is influenced by global climate phenomena such as El-Niño and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). This study aims to analyze the characteristics of rainfall patterns and analyze the relationship between rainfall and the El-Niño and IOD phenomena. Daily rainfall data from three BMKG observation stations in West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara during the period 1983-2022 were used in the analysis. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method is used to identify periodic cycles, while the Pearson correlation test is used to determine the relationship of rainfall with El-Niño and IOD. The analysis shows that the Nusa Tenggara region is characterized by a monsoonal rainfall pattern with an annual cycle (12 months). Peak rainfall occurs in January and December, while the dry season lasts from July to September. The correlation of rainfall with El-Niño shows a weak negative relationship, while the influence of IOD is very small and varies between locations. The analysis shows that the rainfall pattern in the Nusa Tenggara region is monsoonal with an annual cycle (12 months) and semi-annual cycle (6 months). The peak of rainfall occurs from December to January, while the dry season lasts from July to September. The relationship between rainfall and El-Niño shows a weak negative correlation, so that when El-Niño increases, rainfall tends to decrease, and vice versa. The influence of IOD on rainfall is very small and varies between locations. Overall, while both El-Niño and IOD affect rainfall, their impact in the region is weak and more significant when both phenomena occur together.
