Abstract

The high level of rice consumption in Indonesia is due to the belief that people have not eaten if they have not consumed white rice. Based on data from the BPS (2023), Indonesian people's rice consumption reached 31.54 million tons. The biggest content of white rice is carbohydrate content. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose when they enter the body. White rice has higher glucose levels than brown rice, namely 25.40 per 100 grams (Diyah et al., 2018). According to Susanti & Bistara (2018), most diabetes mellitus sufferers experience hyperglycemia because they tend to consume foods with high glucose. Factors that influence white rice glucose levels are storage temperature, storage time, rice variety and cooking method. The aim of this research is to examine articles regarding factors that influence white rice glucose levels. The research method used is a literature review which examines articles from 2013-2023 of Google Scholar, Garuda, PubMed, Science Direct and Semantic Scholar with indexes Sinta 1-5 or Scopus Q1-Q4. Key words used are kadar glukosa, suhu penyimpanan, waktu penyimpanan, metode pemasakan, rice cooker, magicom, kukus, panggang, bakar, varietas beras putih, nasi putih, storage temperature, storage time, cooking method, steamed roasted, roasted grilled, white rice varieties, glucose content and white rice. Articles were selected using the PRISMA method. From the results of the literature review, it shows there is an influence of storage temperature (50%), storage time (25%), rice variety (50%) and cooking method (67%) on white rice glucose levels.

Abstract

Mining activities, which play a vital role in fulfilling Indonesia's mineral resource needs, are expected to contribute to the improvement of community welfare. According to Law No. 3 of 2020, the management of mineral and coal resources is aimed, among other objectives, at increasing the income of local communities, regional governments, and the state, as well as creating job opportunities through the implementation of Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) programs. However, in practice, the involvement of mining companies in Semarang Regency remains limited and tends to focus on short-term economic interests that lack sustainability. This study employs a descriptive quantitative method to evaluate the impact of andesite mining activities on the environmental, social, and economic conditions of communities in the ring I area, specifically in Karangjati Subdistrict, Bergas District, Semarang Regency. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 44 respondents and analyzed using the Likert scale. The research findings indicated that the average scores for the environmental, economic, and social aspects were 3.29, 3.21, and 3.14, respectively. These results suggest that community perceptions of the impacts of mining activities fall within a moderate category. It can be concluded that the community does not perceive significant negative environmental impacts from mining activities, reflecting that the company has carried out environmental management and monitoring (UKL-UPL) optimally, in accordance with environmental quality standards and applicable regulations. In terms of the social aspect, the community tends not to experience noticeable changes as a result of mining operations.

Abstract

South Sumatra Province has abundant natural resources that support the economy, but uncontrolled development triggers environmental degradation and disaster risks. Sustainable management is needed in accordance with Law No. 32/2009 and PP No. 22/2021. Water regulation environmental services play an important role in maintaining hydrological and ecosystem balance. GIS-based spatial mapping of landscapes, natural vegetation, and land cover is important as a basis for sustainable environmental policies. The research was conducted in South Sumatra Province using secondary data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and related agencies. Spatial analysis was carried out based on GIS with an overlay approach to three parameters: land cover (weight 60%), landscape (28%), and natural vegetation (12%). The assessment used the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method and produced the Environmental Services Performance Index (IKJLH), which was classified into five categories: very low to very high. The results are visualized in a colored thematic map to show the differences in water regulation performance in each region. The results of the 2023 spatial analysis show that most areas in South Sumatra Province have good water regulation environmental services performance, with a dominance of medium (55%) and high (33%) categories. Ogan Komering Ilir (60.93%), Banyuasin (53.24%), and North Musi Rawas (26.19% very high) are among the best performing areas. In contrast, Palembang City (52.05% low), Empat Lawang, Lahat, and Lubuk Linggau show ecological pressure due to urbanization and land use changes. This condition emphasizes the importance of sustainable environmental management to maintain water regulatory functions in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an environmentally friendly crystal salt packaging design using the House of Sustainability (HoS) approach at PT Baruna Energi Solusindo Teknik. The methods used include observation, questionnaire distribution, and literature study to identify consumer needs through Voice of Customer (VoC), as well as mapping sustainability attributes with Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The analysis showed that the use of HDPE plastic in packaging results in high carbon emissions and energy consumption. Based on VoC, the most prioritized attributes for consumers are environmental health, safety, and product price. The most influential technical responses in packaging design are the type of eco-friendly material, product durability, and pollution control. The proposed alternative packaging uses kraft paper material with a size of 33 cm × 33.5 cm and a transparent window to display the product contents. This design is considered to fulfill the overall technical, aesthetic, and sustainability aspects. In conclusion, the implementation of the House of Sustainability is effective in supporting environmentally friendly packaging design and strengthening green supply chain management in the company.

Abstract

Krendet, gill nets, and traps are fishing gear commonly used to catch lobsters (Panulirus spp) by Indonesian fishermen, but there are many issues related to the use of non-selective and environmentally unfriendly fishing gear. This laboratory research aims to develop selective and effective lobster capture technology, in line with the implementation of PERMEN KP No. 27 of 2024 regarding lobster management. The data obtained were analyzed using the Independent Sample t-Test to evaluate the differences in selectivity and effectiveness between the HDPE multilevel wall traps and the standard foldable traps in capturing legal-sized lobsters. The analysis results showed that the multilevel wall traps performed better, with a total of 56 lobsters captured, all of which were legal-sized (≥ 200 grams), while the foldable traps only captured 26 legal lobsters and 20 illegal ones, accounting for approximately 43.48% of illegal catches. This shows that the tiered wall trap is more selective and environmentally friendly. In terms of the proportion of legal catches, the use of multilevel wall traps increased the number of legal catches by 77.8% compared to foldable traps, which is highly significant for the sustainability of lobster resources. Statistical tests also show that the average weight of lobsters caught by tiered wall traps is significantly higher, with a mean difference of 173.02 grams (p 0.000) and a 95% confidence interval between 126.99 and 219.04 grams.

Abstract

The cocoa industry is undergoing complex market dynamics driven by increasing global awareness of sustainability issues. Sustainable entrepreneurship has emerged as a strategic approach to balancing economic performance, environmental protection, and social equity. This study aims to examine the key factors influencing the sustainability of the cocoa industry from a sustainable entrepreneurship perspective and to analyze its impact on economic, social, and environmental outcomes. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, with data analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that all measurement indicators exhibit outer loading values exceeding 0.70, confirming acceptable convergent validity. Sustainable entrepreneurship demonstrates a strong and statistically significant effect on the overall sustainability of the cocoa sector. Specifically, its application leads to enhanced business efficiency, improved social welfare, and greater adoption of environmentally responsible practices. Moreover, the high R² values for the sustainability constructs suggest that sustainable entrepreneurship serves as a major explanatory variable for performance across all three dimensions. These findings highlight the strategic role of sustainable entrepreneurship in fostering a resilient and sustainable cocoa industry. The implications provide valuable insights for policymakers, industry actors, and stakeholders in developing sustainability oriented cocoa agribusiness models.

Abstract

The Sebuku River has an important role for the life of flora, fauna, and local communities in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan Province. Mining activities in this area raise concerns about potential water pollution. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mining activities on the water quality of the Sebuku River. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling at five observation stations between ST-1 and ST-5 based on predetermined coordinate points. The parameters tested included temperature, TSS, pH, DO, BOD, COD, NO₃, PO₄, CN⁻, and fecal coliform. The analysis method referred to SNI and the results are compared with class II river water quality standards in Appendix VI of Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2021. The results of the analysis showed that the TSS level of all stations exceeded the quality standard as the majority of respondents who stated that it was cloudy, but the level tended to decrease downstream. The highest COD parameters were detected in ST-2. This is supported by the value of the Pollution Index (PI) that indicated it as the primary pollution source from mining activities. The rest of the parameters are still within the permissible limits. Overall, the water quality of the Sebuku River is still classified as moderate based on the value of the Water Quality Index (WQI).

Abstract

The ever-increasing demand for electrical energy demands alternative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable energy sources. Conventional batteries generally rely on synthetic chemicals that have the potential to pollute the environment. One solution that is beginning to be developed is the use of organic waste as an electrolyte source in bio-batteries. This review article discusses the potential of orange peel, fruit, and vegetable waste as a natural electrolyte containing organic acid compounds, particularly citric acid (C₆H₈O₇), as well as mineral acids that can decompose into ions in solution, thus conducting electricity. Various research results show that the acid and water content of organic waste can produce a potential difference when paired with dissimilar metal electrodes, thus generating an electric current. In addition, the pH characteristics and natural electrolyte content of the waste indicate its suitability as a substitute for hazardous chemicals in batteries. Thus, the use of orange peel, fruit, and vegetable waste has the potential to become an environmentally friendly bio-battery innovation that can support efforts to reduce dependence on conventional batteries while contributing to sustainable organic waste management.
