Abstract

Triazole-derived compounds are known to exhibit a variety of favourable biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. Research on the potential of these compounds as antioxidant compounds was carried out theoretically through analysis of global reactivity parameters and measurement of antioxidant activity. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method was used to study the molecular structure, global reactivity parameters, and hydrogen-atom release mechanism by calculating BDE, IP, PDE, PA, and ETE values. Antioxidant activity was expressed as the Inhibition Concentration 50% (IC50) values obtained from multilinear regression-based Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis. Validation was performed by comparing theoretical IC50 values with experimental values. The results show that molecule A is the most reactive, followed by molecules B, D, and C, which have the same theoretical IC50 value as the experiment. The interaction of the compounds with ROS and RNS radicals exhibited spontaneous reactions with negative ?G, reinforcing their potential antioxidant activity. This study confirmed that triazole-derived compounds have the potential to be further developed as effective antioxidants.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 2 – Zero HungerSDG 3 – Good Health and Well-BeingSDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

Project implementation delays (schedule slips) not only affect project completion time but may also influence the adequacy of the project’s cost reserve (management reserve). This study aims to analyze the relationship between schedule slip and management reserve using the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) approach through the Estimate at Completion (EAC) and Variance at Completion (VAC) parameters. The study utilized planned S-curves, weekly progress reports, and the project contract value as the Budget at Completion (BAC) from a steel truss bridge construction project with a planned duration of 35 weeks and an actual completion time of 36 weeks. EVA parameters were evaluated at each reporting period. The Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) was determined using the Project Implementation Budget (Rencana Anggaran Pelaksanaan/RAP) approach at 90% of the contract value, while the management reserve was established at 10% of the BAC. The results demonstrate that schedule slip is directly associated with an increase in the EAC value, leading to a reduction in the VAC value toward the management reserve threshold. Conversely, improvements in schedule performance increased the VAC value above the management reserve limit, indicating that the project’s cost reserve remained secure. Although the project experienced a one-week delay at completion, the VAC value remained within the management reserve threshold, confirming that the management reserve was still adequate. These findings indicate that project delays significantly affect the dynamics of management reserve conditions through changes in the estimated final project cost.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the construction industry has increased the complexity of project implementation; however, in practice, cost overruns still frequently occur due to the suboptimal application of constructability during the planning and execution phases of projects. This situation results in a discrepancy between the planned budget and actual on-site expenditures. This study aims to identify the constructability factors that influence the implementation of the budget plan, analyze. The importance and performance levels of each factor, and evaluate the gaps as a basis for determining improvement priorities. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to contractors, followed by analysis using the Importance-Performance Analysis method. The results indicate that the average importance level of 3.737 is higher than the performance level of 3.368, suggesting that the implementation of constructability factors has not fully met the expected level of importance. A total of 16 variables had a conformity level below 100%, thus falling into the improvement priority category, while several other variables demonstrated performance that met or exceeded their importance levels. The contribution of this study lies in the integration of constructability analysis with the evaluation of the efficiency of the implementation budget plan using the IPA method to determine priorities for improving the performance of constructability factors Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) cellulose and sweet corn cob (Zea mays) starch on the characteristics of bioplastics. The increasing environmental issues caused by non-biodegradable plastics have encouraged the development of eco-friendly alternatives such as bioplastics derived from renewable biomass. There are two JIS standards referred to in this study. First, JIS K7113 is used to measure the tensile strength and elongation of bioplastics. Second, JIS K7209 is used to measure water absorption. By meeting both standards, bioplastics made from water hyacinth and sweet corn cob are proven to have quality equivalent to conventional plastics according to Japanese industrial standards. .In this research, bioplastics were prepared using varying cellulose-to-starch ratios (0.2–1.0 g) and glycerol as a plasticizer (0.5–1.5 mL). The films were produced through gelatinization at 70°C followed by drying. The resulting bioplastics were evaluated based on tensile strength, elongation, and water absorption. The results showed that increasing cellulose content improved tensile strength, reaching a maximum of 9.51 MPa at a 1:1 ratio with 0.5 mL glycerol. Although the exact value is not stated in the abstract, based on similar research data, the maximum water absorption value can reach approximately 54.93%. This highest value occurs in the composition with the highest glycerol content (1.5 mL) because glycerol is hydrophilic (easily attracts water). The higher the glycerol concentration, the greater the bioplastic's ability to absorb water. Conversely, higher glycerol concentrations decreased tensile strength but increased elongation, with the highest elongation value reaching 50.09%. Water absorption increased with higher glycerol content due to its hydrophilic nature. Overall, the produced bioplastics met the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) requirements, indicating their potential as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastics.

Abstract

Darsono guava (Syzygium malaccense) is a local fruit rich in fiber and bioactive compounds; however, its utilization remains limited. The development of mellorine as a low-fat imitation ice cream represents an alternative approach to diversifying local fruit-based products. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding virgin coconut oil (VCO) and inulin on the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of prebiotic darsono guava mellorine, as well as to identify the best treatment that produces optimal characteristics and is preferred by consumers. The study was conducted using variations in the addition of VCO and inulin. The observed parameters included physicochemical properties, namely protein content, fat content, total sugar, dietary fiber, viscosity, overrun, total soluble solids, and melting time, as well as organoleptic properties including color, aroma, taste, and texture. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by post hoc tests and decision analysis to determine the best treatment. The best treatment was obtained with the addition of 14% VCO and 4% inulin, resulting in mellorine with fat content of 7.23%, dietary fiber of 5.05%, total soluble solids of 30.25%, overrun of 50.33%, viscosity of 1621 mPa·s, and melting time of 31 minutes. The product also exhibited antioxidant activity of 60.70%, vitamin C content of 14.09 mg, protein content of 2.95%, and total sugar of 22.51%. Organoleptic evaluation showed scores of 3.56 (slightly liked) for taste, 3.48 (slightly liked) for aroma, 3.96 (liked) for color, and 3.52 (slightly liked) for texture. Overall, the selected treatment produced mellorine with good physicochemical characteristics and a relatively high level of consumer acceptance, indicating its potential to be developed as a functional food product based on local fruit.

Abstract

The high volume of agricultural waste in Indonesia, particularly Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB), presents a significant opportunity for the development of sustainable, high-value materials. While Titanium Dioxide (TiO?) is widely recognized for its photocatalytic efficiency, its practical application is often hindered by particle agglomeration, which reduces its effective surface area. This research aims to overcome these limitations by synthesizing and characterizing a green hybrid material using Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC) derived from OPEFB as a renewable support matrix. The methodology involved the isolation of NCC through sequential delignification and acid hydrolysis, followed by the synthesis of the NCC/TiO? nanocomposite via the wet impregnation method. The research utilized Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to optimize the synthesis process. The process variables investigated included the NCC-to-TiO? ratio (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% w/w) and stirring time (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 minutes), with the final nanocomposite mass serving as the primary response. The results showed that the NCC yield from OPEFB was 43.78%. The optimum condition was achieved at an NCC ratio of 50% and a stirring time of 100 minutes, yielding a nanocomposite mass of 8.8975 grams. Characterization results that the high surface area of the NCC successfully stabilized the TiO? particles with particles measuring 27.52 nm. This study demonstrates that the integration of RSM with green material synthesis provides a highly effective and sustainable approach to valorising palm oil waste into functional photocatalytic hybrid materials.

Abstract

The growth of population and motorized vehicles in Sidoarjo Regency has led to an increase in traffic volume, which impacts the performance of intersections, particularly unsignalized intersections. This study aims to analyze the performance of the unsignalized intersection at Jalan Imam Bonjol – Taman – Waru based on the Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (PKJI) 2023 and to propose improvement strategies. The research method involves field surveys using manual traffic counting conducted over three days during peak hours, including data on traffic volume, intersection geometry, and vehicle characteristics. The analysis covers traffic volume, intersection capacity, and degree of saturation (DS). The results show that the existing condition has a DS value of 0.86 with an average delay of 14.71 seconds/pcu, indicating that the intersection is operating under saturated conditions and does not meet the acceptable standard (DS < 0.85). Therefore, an improvement strategy is proposed by converting the intersection into a signalized intersection with a three-phase system. The results indicate a significant improvement, with the DS decreasing to 0.61, resulting in a more stable, efficient, and controlled traffic condition. Thus, the implementation of traffic signals is recommended to improve performance, traffic flow, and safety at the study location.

Abstract

Payus fish crackers (Elops hawaiensis) are a popular fishery-based snack in Surabaya, with sensory characteristics varying among producers due to differences in formulation and processing. This study aimed to identify the sensory profile of payus fish crackers, determine consumer preferences, and analyze the relationship between sensory attributes and consumer liking of products from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Surabaya. Sensory evaluation was conducted using the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method with consumer panelists. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) identified 17 sensory attributes covering color, aroma, texture, taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. RATA analysis showed significant differences in sensory intensity among the five samples, influenced by ingredient composition and processing methods. Preference mapping indicated that sample 928 was the most preferred, characterized by distinct fish taste and aroma, crunchy texture, and fish aftertaste. Sample 501 was also highly preferred due to its fried aroma, yellow color, salty and sweet taste, grainy mouthfeel, and crispy texture. In contrast, sample 836 was less preferred because of its oily mouthfeel and greasy aftertaste, while sample 342 was less favored due to its dominant white color.

Abstract

Yellow tofu is a traditional food product that is highly perishable due to its high moisture Yellow tofu has a high moisture content (86%) and moderate protein content (8–12%), resulting in a short shelf life of only 1–2 days at room temperature. These characteristics may encourage the misuse of hazardous additives such as formaldehyde, borax, and metanil yellow to preserve texture, color, and shelf life. This study aimed to detect borax, formaldehyde, and metanil yellow, analyze Total Plate Count (TPC), and examine the relationship between sanitation hygiene practices and TPC in yellow tofu produced in Kediri, a major center of tahu takwa production. Samples from 13 producers were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that borax and metanil yellow were not detected in any samples. Although 76.92% of samples tested positive for formaldehyde qualitatively, quantitative analysis indicated levels below the detection limit. TPC analysis revealed that 61.5% of samples exceeded the SNI limit of 1×10? CFU/g, with an average of 1.15×10? CFU/g. A significant relationship was found between sanitation hygiene and microbial count (p = 0.002), indicating that proper hygiene practices are essential for maintaining yellow tofu safety.
