Abstract

Chicken eggs are a widely consumed animal food commodity, along with other products such as chicken meat, beef, and milk. Chicken eggs are produced by laying hens, scientifically known as Gallus gallus domesticus. Manual grading of chicken eggs in West Sumatra relies on subjective sensory assessment, resulting in inconsistent classification outcomes. The development of a chicken egg grading application using Android-based digital images is a solution to this problem. This study presents the development and validation of an Android-based digital image processing system for automated mass-based grading of chicken eggs using the five-grade local classification system in Payakumbuh (pelor, bujang, remban, super, and jumbo). The image processing pipeline employed Otsu thresholding for segmentation, mean filtering for noise removal, and eccentricity-based shape determination to calculate egg volume, which was subsequently converted to Mass using a density constant of 1.0801 g/cm³. A total of 100 eggs were tested: 67 for correlation analysis and 33 for validation. The system achieved a mass correlation coefficient of r = 0.9986, a volume correlation of r = 0.9976, a mass RMSE of 0.4486 g, and a volume RMSE of 0.3972 ml. Out of 67 tested samples, 64 were correctly classified (95.5% accuracy). These results confirm that the developed application can reliably replace manual grading for small-scale poultry farmers, providing a practical and measurable digital innovation for the agricultural sector. These results indicate that Android-based image processing applications exhibit small errors, enabling the designed application to be implemented.

Abstract

Indonesia’s rapid growth in nickel processing has led to a significant increase in nickel slag from pyrometallurgical operations. While slag buildup creates environmental and land-use problems, using it in downstream production by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has not been studied much. This study examines the technical and financial feasibility of producing paving blocks from nickel slag in a semi-mechanical SME production system. The process uses 85% slag, 10% fly ash, and 5% cement, with a planned capacity of 1,800,000 units per year. The technical review covers material processing steps, equipment details, and steady-state operating capacity. Financial analysis is done over 10 years with a 10% discount rate and standard capital budgeting methods. The total investment needed is IDR 2.16 billion. Results show strong financial performance, with a Net Present Value (NPV) of IDR 4.13 billion, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 25.40%, a Benefit–Cost ratio of 2.91, and a payback period of 30.84 months. The break-even point is 279,886 units, or 21.53% of capacity, showing the system can handle moderate market stress. These results show that the use of SME-based slag is both technically feasible and economically sound, supporting small-scale industrial cooperation and offering a practical way to promote circular integration in Indonesia’s nickel industry.

Abstract

The rapid development of the construction industry in Indonesia, reflected in the increasing volume of projects, growing design complexity, and higher demands for efficiency, requires effective project planning and control to ensure that implementation proceeds efficiently and sustainably, supporting better construction production performance. However, schedule delays and cost overruns remain two major issues frequently encountered in construction projects, particularly when planning, execution, and control processes are not optimally integrated. This study aims to implement Building Information Modelling (BIM) 5D as a tool for monitoring project time and cost, in combination with the earned value management method, during the construction of the Ambengan Batu Multipurpose Building. The project’s 3D model was developed in Autodesk Revit and subsequently linked to scheduling and cost data via visual programming in Dynamo. EVM values including Planned Value, Earned Value, and Actual Cost were calculated to obtain performance indicators such as Schedule Variance, Cost Variance, Schedule Performance Index, and Cost Performance Index. All analytical results were then visualized using a color-coding system applied to the BIM model elements, enabling project performance conditions to be quickly and effectively interpreted. The findings of this study are expected to demonstrate that integrating BIM 5D with EVM provides more accurate, transparent, and easily evaluated monitoring of project time and cost than conventional methods. This approach has been shown to enhance the effectiveness of project control, support sustainable construction practices, improve project production efficiency, and offers significant visual support for decision-making.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 evaluated the effect of carrot puree concentration on the final ?-carotene content of snakehead fish (Channa striata) pempek subjected to integrated freezing–thermal–vacuum processing. Four formulations were prepared with varying carrot concentrations (0 g, 150 g, 300 g, and 500 g). ?-Carotene was quantified using a validated HPLC-PDA method with a C18 column and detection at 450 nm. The calibration curve showed excellent linearity (R² = 0.9986), with calculated limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.13 mg/L and 0.40 mg/L, respectively. The measured ?-carotene concentrations ranged from 0.27 to 0.67 mg/kg, with the highest value observed in the 500 g carrot formulation. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant effect of carrot concentration on ?-carotene content (p < 0.05), demonstrating a clear dose-dependent relationship. These findings support the application of carrot puree as a functional fortification ingredient in traditional fish-based products. Future studies may investigate optimized thermal conditions or protective strategies to further improve carotenoid stability during processing.

Abstract

The Taliwang chicken dish has been one of the most popular dishes on Lombok Island since the Selaparang Kingdom. This study aims to determine the effect of the length of time chicken carcasses are frozen on the chemical composition, antioxidant levels, and organoleptic value of Taliwang chicken dishes. The materials used were the carcasses of 20 superior Balitbangtan native chickens aged 6 weeks, as well as several natural spices and chemicals, to test the chemical characteristics, antioxidant levels, and organoleptic properties of Taliwang chicken dishes. The research was conducted using an experimental method based on a completely randomised design with a one-way pattern, with four treatments of frozen storage time (days): L0 = no storage; L1 = 2 days; L2 = 4 days; and L3 = 6 days, with five replications. The research variables, such as chemical composition, were analysed using the proximate method; antioxidant levels were analysed using the DPPH method; and organoleptic evaluation was analysed using the sensory test method. The research data were analysed using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's test, in SPSS version 25. The results showed that the length of frozen storage had a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on the antioxidant content and organoleptic value of Taliwang chicken dishes, but no significant effect (P > 0.05) on the protein, fat, or water content. The protein content of Taliwang chicken dishes, based on the length of frozen storage, ranged from 27.25% to 28.57%; the antioxidant content ranged from 64.62% to 95.75%; and the dishes were classified as having a delicious aroma, taste, and texture. The optimal storage period for chicken carcasses before processing is 4 days, yielding an antioxidant content of 95.75%. The nutritional content and organoleptic properties indicate that Taliwang chicken dishes remain suitable for consumption.

Abstract

Rendang, a traditional Indonesian meat dish with significant cultural and economic value, faces distribution challenges due to its short shelf life. This study evaluated static retort thermal processing to improve rendang’s physicochemical properties, microbiological safety, and consumer acceptance. Rendang samples were sterilized at 125 °C for 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes, then analyzed for composition, Total Plate Count (TPC), and sensory properties. Sterilization affected product composition, with moisture, ash, and protein showing biphasic trends, while fat content increased steadily with increasing processing time. Microbiological analysis showed that TPC dropped from 70 CFU/g in untreated samples to 15 CFU/g or below-detectable levels (<10 CFU/g) after retort processing, confirming effective sterilization. Sensory evaluation found that all treatments maintained acceptable colour, aroma, and flavour. Consumer acceptance was high for up to six months of storage, but declined for longer shelf lives, suggesting psychological factors may influence acceptability. Overall, static retort processing at 125 °C for 10–15 minutes offers an optimal balance of safety and quality, making it suitable for extending rendang’s shelf life.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of fortification with functional plant ingredients—butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea), roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), and ginger (Zingiber officinale)—on the physicochemical, antioxidant, textural, colour, and sensory properties of extruded rice crackers. A Completely Randomized Design consisting of four treatments (P1: control, P2:butterfly pea flower, P3:roselle, and P4:ginger addition) with triplicate experiments was applied. Results demonstrated that plant-based fortification significantly influenced proximate composition, bioactive compounds, and product quality attributes (p < 0.05). Roselle fortification produced the highest anthocyanin content and the strongest antioxidant activity, with values of 2.602 ppm and 16,059 ppm (IC50), respectively. Butterfly pea flower enhanced flavonoid content to 0.010% and achieved the highest overall sensory acceptance (score 5.00). Ginger addition significantly improved textural characteristics, particularly hardness and crispiness, with values of 63.19 N and 1.96 N, respectively, contributing to a desirable snack structure. Colour parameters were strongly affected by natural pigments derived from functional plants, enabling clean-label visual differentiation of products. Overall, butterfly pea flower (P2) was identified as the optimal formulation, providing the best balance between functional enhancement and sensory acceptance. This study introduces functional rice crackers made from broken rice with improved antioxidant capabilities, diversifying the product from rice-based raw materials.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how Social Subjects shaped students’ perspectives and behaviors toward foreign cultures at the Muslim Santitham Foundation School in Southern Thailand. The research also identifies factors that challenge students in engaging with foreign cultures and explains the role of Social Subjects as a space for cross-cultural interaction. Data were collected using a qualitative approach through participatory observation and interviews over a one-month period. The results show that the students do not intentionally reject foreign cultures. Instead, their cautious behaviors are formed by long-term social habits through a homogeneous environment where the values of local culture are strongly rooted, limited interaction with foreign actors causes low confidence in using foreign languages, and less interactive teaching methods influence their ways of thinking and acting. However, the presence of foreign assistant teachers from Indonesia in Social Subjects created a new social arena that encouraged active participation, direct and meaningful interaction. It helped students to understand things that were previously seen as distant in their daily lives. This study highlights the importance of Social Subjects not only as a subject for theoretical knowledge, but also as a learning space for developing students’ social openness, while still maintaining their original cultural identity.

Abstract

This research aimed to synthesise sustainable silica–carbon composites derived from coconut coir and dicalite diatomite using an ion-exchange-assisted sol–gel method and to evaluate the effects of gel-forming pH and carbonisation temperature on the resulting composite characteristics. The investigated parameters included gel formation pH 5 and carbonization temperature (400–800 °C). FTIR, XRD, and SEM–EDX analyses were applied to determine functional groups, phase structure, elemental composition, and surface morphology. The results revealed that the composite synthesised at pH 5 and carbonised at 800 °C exhibited the optimal structural properties. This condition produced a homogeneous morphology, balanced silica–carbon integration, reduced sodium residue, and a stable amorphous phase without crystalline formation. Higher carbonization temperatures enhanced siloxane network condensation and improved interfacial bonding between silica and carbon phases. The synthesis guidelines for silica-carbon composite fabrication should therefore emphasise controlled acidic gel formation and high-temperature carbonisation to produce structurally stable, well-integrated materials suitable for adsorption and environmental applications.

Abstract

The increase in waste production, along with population growth, is filling landfills. Organic waste leachate formation. Leachate management is crucial because it can pollute soil, surface water, and groundwater. Waste is the solid remains of human activities and natural processes. Waste will be processed at the final processing site. Waste produces leachate due to decomposition and rainwater infiltration. Leachate testing requires laboratory analysis. Analysis can be done by measuring the physical and chemical parameters contained in leachate. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a statistical method for analysing data. This study determines the correlation between the main pollutant parameters, Temperature, pH, total suspended solids (TSS), and COD at the final treatment site. Data were collected from several sampling points over a period, and statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation and regression, were used to assess the relationship. The results showed a significant positive correlation with COD. The COD coefficient of determination (R-squared) of 66.74% was found to be quite high for all functional relationships, and mathematical models have been obtained.
