Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of financial distress in infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020–2024 using survival analysis with the Cox proportional hazard model. The analysis focuses on five firm-level indicators: leverage, profitability, firm size, free cash flow, and sales growth. Survival time until financial distress and event status were constructed to enable longitudinal modeling. Descriptive statistics, Kaplan–Meier estimation, and log-rank tests were employed to explore group differences in survival probabilities, followed by Cox regression to identify key predictors. The results demonstrate that leverage and free cash flow are the most significant determinants of financial distress. A one-standard-deviation increase in leverage raises the hazard by more than twenty-five times, while higher free cash flow reduces the hazard to about 39% of its baseline. Profitability, firm size, and sales growth do not exhibit statistically significant effects. These findings emphasize the dual role of debt burden and liquidity as critical drivers of financial resilience in capital-intensive infrastructure firms. The study provides practical implications for different stakeholders. For managers, it highlights the need to strengthen liquidity management and avoid excessive debt dependence. For investors, leverage and free cash flow indicators serve as reliable early warning signals of potential distress. For regulators, the results underline the importance of monitoring firm-level liquidity and leverage alongside traditional solvency measures to safeguard sectoral stability.

Abstract

This design consists of a practical module for controlling both forward and reverse rotational direction, utilizing a combination of a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The VSD regulates the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor, while the PLC serves as the logic control center, receiving input from the control buttons and sending instructions to the VSD. Testing was conducted on an unloaded motor to ensure optimal system operation. Rotational direction change testing was performed on an unloaded motor with speed variations of 10 Hz, 20 Hz, and 30 Hz and ACC/DEC values of 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0 seconds. The higher the motor speed frequency, the greater the time difference between the ACC and DEC values set on the inverter for 3, 5, and 7 seconds and the actual time for each setting. The higher the ACC value, the longer the stabilization time required for the motor to achieve stability at each frequency range.

Abstract

This research examines the utilization of Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (PEFB), a byproduct of the palm oil sector, as a sustainable feedstock for bioplastic manufacturing. Bioplastics, derived from natural substances like cellulose, starch, and vegetable oils, offer a sustainable substitute for traditional petroleum-based plastics, which substantially contribute to environmental degradation. This research examines the processes of cellulose extraction, delignification, and the diverse pre-treatment techniques employed to transform PEFB into bioplastics. The findings indicate that PEFB is abundant in cellulose, rendering it a viable material for bioplastic manufacturing. Moreover, the inclusion of plasticizers such glycerol and chitosan enhance mechanical qualities, including tensile strength and flexibility, while preserving biodegradability. The study also emphasizes the influence of various processing conditions and additives on the ultimate attributes of the bioplastic, such as water resistance and mechanical performance. The results indicate that bioplastics sourced from PEFB may aid in diminishing plastic waste and fostering sustainable materials in sectors like packaging. The analysis continues by underscoring the necessity for more research to enhance production techniques and evaluate the scalability of PEFB-based bioplastics in practical applications.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of a Diethanolamine (DEA) promoted potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) solution for capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from flue gas generated by the carbonization of coconut shells. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of absorption column packing height and absorbent flow rate on CO₂ removal efficiency. The absorption process was conducted in a counter-current packed column using a solution composed of 30% wt K₂CO₃ and 3% wt DEA. Key process variables included packing heights of 10, 20, 30, and 40 cm, and absorbent flow rates of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 L/m. The results demonstrated that the combined DEA and K₂CO₃ solution is highly effective, achieving a maximum CO₂ removal efficiency of 97.81% at a packing height of 40 cm and a flow rate of 1.5 L/m. Analysis of the absorbent solution revealed a corresponding decrease in carbonate (CO₃²⁻) concentration and an increase in bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) concentration, confirming the chemical absorption of CO₂. The process kinetics were found to align with a pseudo-second-order model. This study concludes that a packed column absorption system with a DEA-promoted K₂CO₃ solution presents an effective and viable method for mitigating CO₂ emissions from biomass processing.

Abstract

This paper examines the role and implementation of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in business communication within the context of Indonesian vocational education. As Indonesia integrates into the global economy and the ASEAN Economic Community, there is a growing demand for vocational graduates who possess industry-specific language competence alongside technical skills. The study synthesizes literature and current practices to highlight the shift from General English to Business English, which aims to equip students with practical skills for workplace interactions such as correspondence, presentations, and negotiations. However, the review identifies significant challenges hindering effective implementation, including insufficient teacher training in ESP methodologies, a lack of authentic and localized teaching materials, and varying levels of motivation and proficiency. Furthermore, misalignments between national curriculum standards and specific industry need often to constrain innovation in the classroom. The paper concludes by outlining key implications for improvement, recommending the adoption of rigorous needs analysis, specialized professional development for teachers, and stronger collaboration between vocational institutions and industry partners to develop relevant curricula and resources. These strategies are essential for ensuring that vocational education in Indonesia produces graduates who are competitive in the modern workforce.

Abstract

A Steam Power Plant is a system that converts thermal energy into electrical energy through the process of water evaporation and the utilization of a steam turbine. In this report, a mini 12V DC steam power plant is designed using an impulse turbine as the main driver of the generator. The system consists of an LPG-fired boiler that produces pressurized steam to rotate the turbine, enabling the generator rotor to generate electricity. Test results show a maximum output voltage of 12.5 V DC at a rotational speed of 991.5 RPM, with steam input power of 244 watts. Although the theoretical relationship between RPM and generated EMF is linear, the measured output voltage exhibits a non-linear trend due to the integrated voltage regulator. In the load test, the system maintained stable operation, although efficiency naturally decreased under full-load conditions due to the higher current draw. Pressure testing indicates a gradual increase up to 2 bar within 21 minutes, demonstrating stable boiler performance. The system successfully powered several 12V loads, including LED lights, a fan, a buzzer, and a USB charger. This mini steam power plant prototype validates the working principles of a small-scale steam power system and serves as an effective educational tool.

Abstract

The Politeknik Negeri Pontianak Student Dormitory consists of four floors with a capacity of 345 people, which is dependent on water supply from the Regional Water Company (PDAM). Water availability is often disrupted, especially in the morning.  Therefore, this study aims to design a plumbing system that integrates rainwater harvesting (RWH) as an alternative water source, along with clean water and wastewater systems that comply with national standards.  The methodology used includes water demand analysis based on the number of residents, evaluation of rainwater harvesting potential from the roof, reservoir capacity calculations, pump specifications, and piping networks up to the septic tank based on Indonesian National Standards (SNI) and other standards.  Additionally, the designed piping system considers distribution efficiency, adequate water pressure, and safe sanitation. Based on the calculation in this planning, the use of a rainwater harvesting system can minimize PDAM usage by 11.18%. This plan is expected to provide a sustainable solution for clean water supply in the campus environment, particularly at the Pontianak State Polytechnic Student Dormitory.

Abstract

The construction of apartments on the banks of the Kapuas River in Pontianak City has become an urgent necessity due to high urbanization rates and limited land availability. The design of this steel structure uses the LRFD method based on SNI 1729:2020, SNI 7860:2020, SNI 1726:2019, and SNI 2847-2019 with a Regular Moment Resisting Frame System. The four-story building, measuring 40x30 meters and made of BJ37 steel, uses composite floor slabs, with steel profiles consisting of main beams. The design uses a Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) system to withstand lateral loads on soft soil in Pontianak. The analysis results show a maximum inter-story drift of 26.7 mm, still far below the 80 mm limit according to SNI 1726:2019. This study confirms that the use of BJ37 steel with composite plates significantly reduces dead loads compared to conventional concrete, making it a viable solution for the area. Structural connections at the intersections of beams and columns use high-quality A325 bolts.

Abstract

The Miftahul Ulum Islamic Boarding School (Pondok Pesantren), located in Rasau Jaya District, Kubu Raya Regency, faced problems related to limited facilities and suboptimal spatial arrangement. This condition caused discomfort for students (santri) in their daily activities, including aspects of accommodation, learning, and worship. This research aimed to plan and arrange the pesantren area in an integrated manner by developing a site plan, planning supporting infrastructure, and calculating the estimated budget for the construction of the male dormitory. The research method included a literature review, a field survey, and an analysis of space requirements based on applicable technical standards. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to illustrate the existing conditions, followed by zoning planning for the area using the reference standard SNI 03-1733-2004, and budget calculation based on unit price analysis appropriate to local conditions. The results of the study proposed the division of the area into three zones: public, semi-private, and private, supported by educational, worship, accommodation, and ancillary facilities. The Bill of Quantity (BOQ) calculation showed the estimated cost needed for the construction of the student dormitory, which can serve as a guide for implementation. In conclusion, this research suggests that integrated planning and arrangement of the pesantren area are capable of creating a more organized, comfortable, and sustainable learning environment.
