Abstract

The study conducted a profound exploration on the potential impacts of a blended learning-based flipped classroom method on students' reading comprehension and their perception towards it. The methodology used a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with purposive sampling in a state senior high school in Palembang. The process of collecting data involved the utilization of questionnaires, post-tests, and pre-tests. Either experimental and control class has 25 students. The test's reliability and validity were thoroughly examined through the employment of the Split-Half technique as well as the Aiken formula. Furthermore, in an effort to establish dependability for the questionnaire, Pearson Correlation testing methods were utilized. A comprehensive data analysis covered broad statistical areas including application of Shapiro-Wilk procedure, Levene Statistics test evaluating homogeneity characteristics, deployment of independent samples t-test and incorporation of Cohen's d in hypothesis validation procedures. Post intervention results from experimental group significantly indicated marked improvements in reading comprehension following hypothesis assessment. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) was thereby substantiated, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). Additionally, students perceive the blended learning-based flipped classroom as an enjoyable teaching approach that enhances their engagement in the learning process and aids improvement in areas that require attention. These findings imply that implementing the blended learning-based flipped classroom could be a valuable resource for English teachers, offering advantages to students such as improved accessibility and readiness for reading comprehension learning.

Abstract

Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, is rich in silica, alumina, and other minerals, making it a valuable resource for extracting high-purity silicon. The synthesis of silicon nanoparticles from coal fly ash involves several critical steps, including the extraction of silica (SiO2) via the sol-gel method, reduction of silica to silicon using the metallothermic method, and subsequent ultrasonication to achieve nanoscale particles. Studies have shown that fly ash can contain up to 49.21% silica, which can be further purified to 93.52% via chemical extraction methods such as acid leaching and alkali dissolution. The reduction of silica to silicon is carried out using the metallothermic method, which involves the use of magnesium-reducing agents to convert SiO2 to elemental silicon. This process produces silicon with a purity of about 61.3%, which can be further increased through ultrasonication. Ultrasonication is a technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to break particles into smaller sizes, resulting in more uniform and homogeneous nanoparticles. In this study, ultrasonication for 60 and 120 min reduced the average particle size of silicon from 208.94 nm to 58.87 nm and 20.13 nm, respectively, and increased the silicon content to 74.6% and 72.7%. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and distribution particle analyses confirmed the particle size reduction and homogeneity of silicon nanoparticles, indicating the effectiveness of ultrasonication in producing high-quality silicon nanoparticles. The synthesized silicon nanoparticles have significant potential applications, particularly as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, due to their increased surface area and improved electrochemical properties. Furthermore, the use of fly ash as a raw material for the synthesis of silicon nanoparticles not only provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional silica sources but also helps in reducing the environmental impact of fly ash disposal. The integration of the methods and findings of this study underscores the feasibility and benefits of using coal fly ash for the sustainable production of silicon nanoparticles, which can be utilized in energy storage as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract

Global environmental concerns requiring excellent air quality have prompted the development of a variety of eco-friendly energy sources. Hydrogen gas is an environmentally friendly option that may be created using an electrolysis device that converts water into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). In this study, a dry cell electrolyzer with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane was used as a separator between two stainless steel 316 electrodes to generate a high hydrogen yield. The hydrogen gas production from the dry cell electrolyzer was determined using gas chromatography. The results showed that using a KOH electrolyte and a PVA membrane considerably enhanced the hydrogen gas composition. Hydrogen gas compositions after electrolysis using a dry cell electrolyzer without a PVA membrane and KOH electrolyte concentrations of 0 M, 0.04 M, 0.07 M, and 0.11 M being 13.70%, 25.10%, 32.50%, and 15.60%, respectively. With a PVA membrane, the hydrogen compositions were 71.50%, 89.10%, 80.50%, and 84.60%, respectively. The results of these experiments show that the most hydrogen gas was produced utilizing a dry cell electrolyzer with a PVA membrane and a 0.04 M KOH electrolyte concentration. When a PVA membrane and a KOH electrolyte are utilized in electrolysis, the hydrogen gas composition improves significantly compared to when either is utilized.

Abstract

Dye Sensitized-Solar Cells (DSSC) represent a third-generation solar cell technology based on photoelectrochemical principles. This study explores the use of Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea) extract as an organic dye for DSSCs, focusing on its ability to absorb sunlight effectively. Excitation of electrons triggered by light in photocatalysis is strongly influenced by the position of the band gap. To be effective as a photocatalyst, the material must have a conduction band with a high positive potential compared to the electron accepting potential. Doping metal oxides such as CuO, MgO, Fe2O3, and ZnO into TiO2 can change the band edge properties or surface states which can increase light absorption. This research presents the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles as photoanodes doped using metal oxides to evaluate characteristic that can influence DSSC performance. TiO2 nanoparticles doped with metal oxide were synthesized using the solvothermal method and characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and UV-Vis. Comprehensive analysis of samples doped with metal oxides significantly affects the crystal structure, morphology, elemental composition, and optical properties of the material. The results showed that Cu-doped TiO2 samples allowed for the most significant performance improvement in DSSC, followed by Fe-doped TiO2, Mg-doped TiO2, and Zn-doped TiO2, with pure TiO2 having the lowest performance potential. These results provide important insights into material optimization to improve DSSC efficiency.

Abstract

PT Kimia Farma Trading and Distribution (KFTD) is a company engaged in the distribution and trading services of Indonesian health products, on a national scale. In 2022, the company aims to increase sales to be awarded as one of the top 3 national pharmaceutical product distributors by 2024. Their current strategy is to provide customers with delayed payment permission and integrated complaint services. However, the offers and services are the same for all customers which does not consider customer track record hence it is not cost-effective. One way to increase sales is by enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty by implementing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) strategies. Several strategies can be carried out, namely analysis of associations related to pharmaceutical products, and analysis of customer segmentation and clustering of products. The method used in this study was the K-means clustering algorithm combined with the Recency Frequency Monetary (RFM) model. Experiments showed that the optimal clustering results are 4 therefore they are categorized into 4 customer segments, namely Superstar, Golden, Typical, and Occasional Customers.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on renewable energy, particularly solar power, necessitates accurate models for predicting energy output to optimize storage and distribution systems. Traditional methods such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) offer unique strengths in forecasting photovoltaic (PV) system outputs. LSTM excels in capturing temporal dependencies in time-series data, while ANNs effectively model nonlinear relationships between variables. This study aims to develop and evaluate a hybrid LSTM-ANN model for improving the accuracy of PV energy output predictions, focusing on voltage, power, and irradiance. Using data collected from a solar-powered greenhouse in Talang Kemang, Indonesia, the model was trained and validated. The hybrid model demonstrated significant improvements in prediction accuracy. For voltage, the model achieved a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.1016 and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.1417, while irradiance predictions resulted in an MAE of 0.0895 and RMSE of 0.1149. Power predictions also yielded strong results, with an MAE of 0.1506 and RMSE of 0.1954. These results highlight the hybrid LSTM-ANN model's effectiveness in combining temporal and nonlinear data processing capabilities, leading to superior accuracy in predicting PV system outputs. This approach can enhance the reliability of energy forecasting models, enabling better integration of solar power into electrical grids. The model holds promise for broader applications in renewable energy systems, improving their efficiency and sustainability
