Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the world. The risk of coronary heart disease can be reduced or even prevented by early detection. Early detection of CHD has been widely developed using machine learning, but the machine learning algorithms used sometimes have low interpretability. Low interpretability makes it difficult for users to understand the cause of the decision. Referring to this, this research aims to propose an early detection model using machine learning interpretability, which is implemented using the C5.0 algorithm and interpreted using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). This research method is divided into 3 stages, namely preprocessing, interpretable machine learning, and performance evaluation. This study used 215 patient data from Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital. Testing the resulting model using the k-folds cross-validation method. The test results show that the risk factors that make a high contribution to the output of the coronary heart disease detection model are systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and employment level, with the resulting accuracy performance of 84.64%. The proposed model can be an alternative for early prediction of coronary heart disease which can explain the influence of each selected risk factor on the model output.

Abstract

Despite the absence of recent research, Mapanuepe Lake in the Philippines has been a significant environmental concern due to potential heavy metal contamination. Hence, the study assessed the heavy metal concentration of water and surface sediments and identified the other physicochemical properties of Mapanuepe Lake in San Marcelino, Zambales, Philippines. This descriptive research employed physical profiling and physicochemical characterization of water and surface sediments of the lake. Six sampling stations in the lake were selected based on their current land use and nearness to the point source of heavy metal pollution. The study found that the Mapanuepe Lake is a thriving place for algae and zooplankton. The heavy metal concentration of the lake water and sediment sample is within the standard limit. The water conductivity is considered to be within the standards. In terms of pH level, the sampling sites obtained a pH level within the acceptable limit. The concentration of heavy metals in the lake water and sediments is generally within the standard limit. Other physicochemical properties are also in the acceptable range. The community people and local government must collaborate to implement the crafted strategic environmental sustainability plan, which includes biodiversity conservation and ecotourism promotion. Likewise, the study provides updated and comprehensive data on the status of the lake's heavy metal concentration for policy formulation and further research.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of solar charge controller (SCC) type on battery charging in solar-powered electric scooters (e-scooters). The research compared maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers by monitoring average output power, current, and voltage every 10 minutes. Results showed that under stationary conditions, MPPT controllers delivered higher efficiency, generating 5.87 W of power compared to PWM's 5.05 W. This advantage persisted even during scooter operation, with MPPT controllers producing 4.91 W versus PWM's 4.31 W. Overall, the findings demonstrate that MPPT SCCs offer a more efficient solution for charging e-scooter batteries.

Abstract

In recent years, the building sector's energy consumption in Morocco has been steadily increasing, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable building practices. Optimizing building parameters and the development of new insulation materials have become critical areas of research due to the significant energy losses associated with traditional insulation materials. Insulation materials can be a simple and cost-effective way to improve building energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Unfortunately, not all of these materials exhibit favorable thermal characteristics such as conductivity or heat capacity. Some involve complex production processes, while others are prohibitively expensive or toxic. At this juncture, the strategy of integrating ecological materials with insulation materials to enhance thermal performance holds considerable promise. This paper investigates the impact of the integration of poncebloc and hemp wool in inside temperature and annual consumption of a building construction numerically under a transient simulation program (TRNSYS). The results show that by using these two materials along with double-glazed windows, energy savings ranging from 50-55% can be achieved.

Abstract

This study focuses on neural machine translation (NMT) for low-resource languages (LRLs) pair, Batak Toba-Indonesian (bbc↔ind). The Batak Toba language is a critically endangered dialect of an Indonesian ethnic group, Batak. Recent advances in machine translation offer potential solutions, with transfer learning emerging as a promising approach for this language pair. We used a publicly available bbc↔ind parallel corpora from the Hugging Face datasets hub and employed the NLLB-200's distilled 600M variant model as the baseline model. Our models achieved sacreBLEU scores as follows: i) for bbc→ind, it achieved a score of 37.10 (+25.67, up from 11.43) and ii) for ind→bbc, it achieved a score of 30.84 (+25.82, up from 5.02). These results outperform all previous works in the task bbc↔ind machine translation and prove the validity of our approach.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effect of the composition ratio of oil from coconut fiber waste biomass and rice husks as well as polypropylene (PP) plastic which is not optimally utilized and can be used as an alternative fuel processed through the pyrolysis process. This research was conducted by mixing biomass of coconut fiber and rice husk with PP plastic in the form of refuse-derived fuel (RDF)-3 with compositional variations of 100:0%, 75:25%, 50:50%, 75:25%, and 0:100% for 60 minutes. The pyrolysis product in the form of oil was then distilled to separate the compounds contained in it and produce pure oil. Next, quantity (volume of pyrolysis oil and distilled oil) and quality (yield, density, viscosity, visual, and color) tests were carried out. The results of the study showed that there is an influence of the variation in the composition ratio of the mixture of biomass of coconut fiber and rice husk and PP plastic on its quantity and quality. The highest quantity was obtained from the 100% PP ratio and the best quality was obtained from the 100% PP ratio, which leads to the specifications of solar fuel oil.

Abstract

Java Island is an island with a high earthquake vulnerability. Therefore, earthquake mitigation measures are needed to reduce the impact of earthquakes. Earthquake mitigation is done by knowing the zones with a high risk of earthquakes and high levels of rock stress. The methods used to map earthquake-prone zones are K-means clustering and B-value. The K-means clustering method can provide earthquake clusters based on their characteristics and the B-value can produce rock stress conditions in the area. The results of this study are that the K-means clustering method produces 7 earthquake clusters with 5 classifications of very low, low, medium, high, and very high. In contrast, the B-value process has a high B-value with a value of 1.2-1.5 in West Java and a low B-value with a value of 0.9-1.2 in the central to the eastern part of Java.

Abstract

Membrane technology is a technique in water and wastewater treatment that has many advantages. This study focuses on the manufacture and characterization of cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) membranes using the phase inversion method. The CAP is preferable since it is a biopolymer that is environmentally friendly and cheap. The production of CAP membrane was carried out using phase inversion method, and varied in 3 different concentrations of CAP i.e., 13, 14, and 15% wt., with additional material of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis to determine its morphology, pores, and functional groups. The results show that the membrane containing 13% wt. CAP exhibits higher porosity with more macropores than a membrane with 14 and 15% wt. CAP. However, membranes with higher concentrations of CAP show more uniform pores and fewer macropores. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups in the membrane such as C-O, -CH3, C=O, C-H, and –OH. It is also found that there is a shift in Wavenumber due to the increase in the concentration of CAP in each membrane.
