Abstract

The decreasing availability of fossil fuels and their contribution to environmental degradation and emissions of harmful gases has encouraged a shift to renewable energy sources. This change aims to produce electricity without using fossil fuels. Banyak Islands, a new tourist destination in Aceh Singkil, Indonesia, is experiencing an increase in visitors, increasing electricity demand currently supplied by diesel power plants. Therefore, this research aims to examine the possibilities of wind and solar power plants and assess their energy output. The four factors used to determine the potential of renewable energy are technology, economics, environment, and social politics, with 13 sub-criteria. Analytical hierarchy process techniques prioritize potential alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power facilities. Research findings show that environmental criteria have a higher value (0.3455) than financial criteria (0.2861), next is technological criteria (0.1734), then socio-political criteria (0.1603). Based on the results of the requirements and sub-requirements, wind power generation is the most effective and efficient alternative energy used in the Banyak Islands region (0.549), followed by solar power generation (0.451). This data shows that the area is prone to medium to high wind speeds, specifically in geographic locations facing the Indian Ocean which is located offshore.

Abstract

Understanding employee readiness towards adopting online marketing platforms is paramount in today’s digital economy, as it directly influences the effectiveness and competitiveness of businesses. This study investigates the relationship between employee technological readiness (ETR) and the business performance of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in developing economies, focusing on data from Yemen. Drawing on the resource-based view theory, the study examined how adopting social media marketing (SMM) mediates this relationship. Data was collected from 362 managers/owners of MSEs in Yemen. The relationship between ETR, SMM, and business performance was examined using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results show that ETR significantly influences SMM adoption, which impacts the business performance of MSEs. In addition, the study reveals that the relationship between ETR and business performance is partially mediated by SMM adoption. This finding highlights the critical role of employees’ readiness for technological advancements in facilitating effective SMM adoption, thereby contributing to the sustainability and success of MSEs.

Abstract

The world's swift digitization has profoundly transformed how farmers and extension workers operate, learn, and communicate. This study explores how information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption transforms agricultural extension practices in North Maluku, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, the study gathered and analyzed data from fifteen extension workers through interviews, observation, documentation, and focus group discussions from November 2022 to March 2023. The findings reveal ICT adoption has transformed the extension workers’ strategies in five areas: i) coordination and collaboration, ii) digital learning, iii) virtual group dynamics, iv) promotion and mobilization, and v) online consultation and monitoring. However, ICT adoption has not replaced traditional extension methods, such as demonstration plots, field schools, and field trips. The use of ICT is not always in line with the deterministic view that technology automatically changes society. In contrast, recursive patterns in practice adaptation create complex dynamics in which extension workers' decisions continue to play a key role in the evolution of agricultural extension. These findings enrich practical and policy debates regarding harnessing ICT potential for enhanced agricultural extension in Indonesia. Additionally, they advance theoretical discussions on the merits of the technological determinism perspective in analyzing ICT utilization.

Abstract

Naphthol Yellow S, a textile dye waste, poses environmental pollution due to its degradable chromophore and auxochrome groups, necessitating processing. The aim was to analyze the adsorption kinetics of banana peel and corncob bioadsorbents to reduce the dye Naphthol Yellow S in wastewater. This research was a true experiment and the object used was an artificial Naphthol Yellow S solution with an initial concentration of 80 ppm applied to the adsorbent mass of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 grams and contact time of 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours. Dye levels were measured before and after treatment using a spectrophotometer. The best adsorption test occurred on the banana peel bioadsorbent with an adsorbent mass of 0.3 grams and a stirring time of 3 hours. The adsorption study of banana peel and corncob bioadsorbents showed that the entire adsorption process of Naphthol Yellow S dye followed the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model with R2 coefficients of 0.9953 and 0.999, respectively, and maximum adsorption capacities of 4.6516 and 5.2825 mg/g, respectively. The activated carbon adsorption kinetics followed the second order, with R2 values of 0.9737 and 0.9152, respectively. This study concluded that the bioadsorbent of banana peels and corncob was able to reduce the dye Naphthol Yellow S.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to assess a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) system's performance. To enhance its performance, a fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller was employed, necessitating the tuning of independent control parameters. For this purpose, a sine-cosine algorithm (SCA) was introduced to optimize these parameters. The FOPID controller, tuned using the SCA, provides a powerful combination that addresses the complexities of the CSTR system. The fractional-order nature of the FOPID controller allows for superior tuning and robustness, offering enhanced flexibility in adjusting the system’s response characteristics and improving overall control performance. The SCA, known for its effective exploration of the search space through sine and cosine functions, ensures that the controller parameters are optimally selected to enhance the system’s performance by achieving an optimal fitness function. To showcase the effectiveness of the proposed SCA-tuned FOPID controller, comparisons were drawn with other optimization techniques designed for the CSTR system. The study presents time-domain characteristics and frequency responses of the proposed controller. The simulation results demonstrated that the SCA-FOPID controller significantly outperforms the other designed controllers, achieving a 54.07% reduction in the integral of time absolute error (ITAE) compared to genetic algorithm (GA), an 18.64% reduction compared to grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and a 34.79% reduction compared to differential evolution (DE). These significant reductions in ITAE underscore the effectiveness of this approach, highlighting the superior performance and robustness of the SCA-tuned FOPID controller in optimizing the CSTR system.

Abstract

Skin cancer is a prevalent and deadly cancer, and early detection is crucial for improving treatment success. Intelligent technologies are currently being used to classify skin lesions. The fundamental goal of this experimental research is to investigate biomedical skin cancer datasets to develop an effective approach for determining whether a cancer is malignant or benign. Well-known deep learning classification models (convolutional neural network (CNN) (sequential), ResNet50, InceptionV3, and Xception) are employed to train and categorize the dataset images. Two large and balanced datasets are collected and employed in this research. One is used to compare the performance of the employed model algorithms. Next, the selected model(s) are again trained on the second dataset for validation and generalization purposes. It turns out that the performance of the Xception model is superior and can be generalized. The performance results obtained from various simulations are tabulated and graphed. Comparative results are also presented.
