Abstract

The freight forwarding business, namely transportation services from various modes of transportation (carrier) and arranging a series of shipments from several senders is growing rapidly during the pandemic and post Covid-19 pandemic. However, this business development is not without problems. Security disturbances during the cargo delivery process are a major problem, and this often happens in Indonesia. For this reason, this research will build a cargo delivery security system using automation technology and based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The system is a Smart Lock installed on the cargo. This smart lock can be monitored remotely, such as opening or closing the lock and the condition of the cargo in the field. Only the cargo owner can open or close the cargo lock. In addition, this system is also equipped with temperature and vibration sensors to maintain the quality of the goods in the cargo. The results of this research will be useful for the security system and convenience of the cargo delivery process and the digitization process will be easier to do in the future.

Abstract

Currently, Medan City is developing a public streetlight project along the highways of Medan City. The Medan city government has spent billions to fix this. The construction of these public streetlights also consumes the city's electricity resources. Efficiency measures are needed to reduce the use of electricity for public streetlights. We propose this research using smart lighting technology. This device will detect human and vehicle movements, time settings, and step dimming that allows dynamic lighting and dimming. This technology also allows for communication from one device to another, such as if a pedestrian or car is detected, then the surrounding streetlights will turn on. This device will be equipped with PIR sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and light sensors. With the development of Internet of Things technology currently, it is expected to help control remotely and have an integrated system. The control and monitoring system is connected via the internet. The parameters to be controlled are the presence of humans, vehicles, and lighting, and all these parameters can be monitored with web-based and Android applications. Based on the above studies, this research will design a public streetlight system using a Data Control Unit (DCU) to facilitate the control system, and this device will be integrated with sensors such as human sensors (PIR), light sensors, and ultrasonic sensors. The system is in the form of smart lighting that can be monitored remotely, such as whether lights will be bright or dim if there are road users and vehicles, and each streetlamp will be connected to each other wirelessly.

Abstract

Indonesia has various types of vegetation which are used as natural coagulants or biocoagulants. Coagulants can be divided into chemical coagulants and natural coagulants (biocoagulants). Biocoagulants are more environmentally friendly and can be obtained from natural ingredients, both animals and plants, one of which is Moringa seeds. Moringa seeds or with the Latin name Moringa oleifera are a type of plant from the Moringaceae family. From several previous studies, Moringa seeds were used as a more economical and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment method. Moringa seed biocoagulant in powder form is made from ripe and old moringa seeds and contains less than 10% water. Moringa seed biocoagulant contains 4αL-rhamnosyloxy-benzylisothiocyanate and is a determinant of coagulation effectiveness. This active substance is able to absorb pollutants in waste water. This research aims to treat tofu waste with moringa seed biocoagulant in reducing pollutant parameters, namely TSS (Total Suspended Solid) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand). Results of the removal of pollutants from moringa seed powder biocoagulant in tofu waste water the efficiency value obtained for each TSS parameter, and the COD for the TSS parameter is 54.4%. and for the COD parameter of 14.6%, it can be concluded that the efficiency value for each parameter still does not meet the effectiveness value.

Abstract

The study aimed to present the profile of the agricultural loan clients of RBDI, describe the loan assessment process, describe the loan monitoring process in RBDI, identify the determinants of loan repayment performance of RBDI agricultural loan clients and to recommend courses of action to improve loan application assessment, loan monitoring, and loan collection activities of RBDI. The study used the Logit Regression Analysis and the model Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + β4X4 + . . . . . . . βnXn + e was developed. The binary response is non-payment (default) and payment (non-default). The determinants were the socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the agricultural loan clients, as well as the loan application and monitoring activities of the bank. The profile of the agricultural loan clients of RBDI showed commonalities of the clients in terms of age (63% are above 45 years old), most of them were not able to finish college (53% secondary level) and most are married (77%) with more than 3 dependents (73%).  Age was determined as a statistically significant factor affecting the non-payment or loan default. The increase in family size and schooling dependents also raises the probability of default. The result that higher educational level and increase in dependents reduces the probability of default has to be further verified. As the size of land increases and the farming experience increases, the probability of loan default decreases.

Abstract

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) is a synthetic polymer with cavities that are specific for target molecules. Cavities are obtained as a result of template removal, where the function of these cavities is to recognize molecules with the same size, structure and physicochemical properties as them. The polymer produced from the MIP technique is applied to the surface of the sensor material as an endosulfan detection and analyzing instrument. The advantage of MIP is that it is a sensor system that is able to provide analysis results for contamination quickly, easily and in low concentrations (ppm). The aim of this research is to make MIP endosulfan as a contamination sensor and potentiometrically test its performance. The research results showed that the optimum conditions for making Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) endosulfan were obtained with a composition of 6.02 mL of chloroform; endosulfan 0.025 g; 0.9 mL methacrylic acid (MAA); 1.57 mL ethylene glycol methacrylic acid (EGMA); 0.07 g benzoyl peroxide (BPO) with a heating time of 150 minutes at a temperature of 70 oC. The sensor performance test was carried out potentiometrically and it was found that the endosulfan MIP sensor had sensitivity and stability in the concentration range of 0.01-1.0x10-6 ppm with a detection limit of 0.01x10-6 ppm and a service life of 90 days.

Abstract

The current energy demand is very large, while the use of energy, which mostly uses petroleum and coal, is not matched by the availability of energy sources. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct research on alternative energy in order to provide energy security in the future. One alternative energy is water energy, which uses water turbines. This study aims to determine the optimum conditions for design parameters for static pressure and magnitude speed in crossflow water turbine design. The testing was done using finite element method simulation, namely Autodesk CFD. Taguchi methodology analysis is used as an optimization method. The number of blades, blade angle, and water direction angle were set as design parameters with constant water discharge parameters. The resulting static pressure and magnitude velocity were observed as design criteria. The results of the Taguchi method analysis in this study show that the optimum static pressure received from the water turbine is at the number of blades, with 10 blades, a blade angle of 22°, and a water direction angle of 60°. While the optimum velocity of the water turbine is at the number of blades of 6, the blade angle is 20°, and the water direction angle is 60°.

Abstract

Many dead coral reefs found on the coast have not been treated optimally and currently their use is still limited as decoration in aquariums. Coral reefs contain calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, sodium oxide, magnesium peroxide, and Iron (III) oxide, with a calcium carbonate content of around 73.76%. Because of its high calcium carbonate content, it can be used as a raw material for making PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) which is widely used in the industrial, health and food sectors. The aim of this research is to obtain the optimal temperature and time for CaO levels, as well as the effect of nitric acid solution concentration on the yield with a high level of purity in PCC products using the carbonization method. The fixed variables are: coral reef mass, independent variables: temperature, calcination time and nitric acid concentration and dependent variables: CaO yield and CaCO3 levels. The calcination temperature used was 700℃, 750℃, 800℃, 850℃, 900℃ and HNO3 concentration 1.50M, 2.00M, 2.50 M, 3.00M, 3.50M with Ca analysis using AAS and PCC morphology and content using SEM-EDX. Optimal conditions are the results of calcination at a temperature of 900℃ with an HNO3 concentration of 3.50 M resulting in a yield of 76% with a purity of 98.58%, pH 8, white with a Ca concentration (ppm) of 1,962,630 and the crystal form obtained at 3.00 M HNO3 is calcite and 3.50 M HNO3 is vaterite.

Abstract

Solar panels in PLTS convert photon energy into electrical energy, where sunlight, which produces light intensity, plays a very important role. In this case, environmental conditions that continue to change can affect the output power of the solar panels. Apart from light intensity, solar panel environmental conditions such as temperature and wind speed greatly affect the efficiency of solar panels. This research looks at the extent of the influence of temperature and wind on the efficiency of solar panels. From the test results and calculations, it was found that the sample temperature of the monocrystalline panel measured on Friday, June 16, 2023, was 31.5°C, and the temperature of the polycrystalline panel was 31°C. From various aspects of the calculations carried out, we can see that the efficiency of monocrystalline panels is 18.07%, while the efficiency of polycrystalline panels is 16.04%. From the calculation results, we can conclude that the efficiency of monocrystalline modules increases significantly.
