Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the adsorption kinetic model of Cd(II) from aqueous solution using Surfactant Modified Activated Carbon-Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SMAC-SLS). This study began by varying pH, contact time, and adsorbate concentration. The concentration of Cd(II) was measured using a spectrophotometric method. The results of the analysis showed that the optimum pH occurred at pH 5 with an adsorption percentage of 84.58±1.44% and the optimum contact time at 100 minutes with an adsorption percentage of 88.75±1.5%. Furthermore, in the variation of adsorbate concentration, the adsorption percentage decreased with increasing adsorbate concentration. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo second order with an R2 value of 0.9945 with an adsorption capacity of 8.89 mg/g. Thus, the use of SMAC-SLS as a future adsorbent for Cd(II) is highly recommended.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the potential of Rat Island as a marine ecotourism destination as well as a contextualized physics learning environment. Using the descriptive qualitative method and literature review support, data were obtained through field observations and literature analysis related to sediment topography, climate, and physics concepts such as ocean waves and tree height measurements. Previous research stated that Rat Island has marine ecotourism potential that can be used as contextual physics learning material. Observation activities in the natural laboratory of Rat Island by Master of Science Education students succeeded in increasing the enthusiasm for learning and inquiry skills. Physics analysis related to tree height measurement provides a deep understanding of physics concepts that can be applied in everyday life. In addition, the research showed the tidal pattern on Rat Island as a periodic physical phenomenon that can be studied and predicted. The concept of Rat Island as a natural laboratory supports its potential as a place for learning and experimentation while supporting environmental conservation efforts. Overall, Rat Island has great potential as a source of contextual physics learning and a sustainable marine ecotourism destination.Keywords: Rat Island, Physics Learning, Tidal Wave, Natural Laboratory.

Abstract

Research was carried out with the aim of finding out blended learning on the independence and learning outcomes of class XI MAN 1 Makassar City students. A posttest only control design was used in this research, which is a type of quasiexperimental research. Entire class of XI MAN 1 Makassar City, consisting of 12 classes, was used as the population, then selected by random sampling to obtain 4 classes as samples consisting of 3 experimental classes and 1 control class. Implementation of learning in experimental group used an ICT-based MPBK model with blended learning approach, while in the control group used direct instruction learning model with teacher-based learning approach. Data collection on learning independence is non-test instrument in the form of questionnaire and data collection on learning outcomes is test instrument in form of objective and subjective questions. Data results were then analyzed using descriptive statistics followed inferential statistics. Results of the descriptive analysis showed that the experimental group had better independence and learning outcomes than tcontrol group. Results of the inferential analysis used normality tests, homogeneity, hypothesis testing with multivariate analysis of variance tests and further Tukey HSD tests. From hypothesis testing it was found that the significance value was 0.000 < 0.05, so there was influence of blended learning on independence and learning outcomes of class XI MAN 1 Makassar City students. Results of further tests with Tukey HSD for independence and learning outcomes showed that experimental and control groups were in different subset columns so that there were significant differences between groups, which means that statistically blended learning has influence on students' independence and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the clustering results and characteristics of districts or cities in Southeast Sulawesi Province based on infectious disease cases in 2022 using the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm. The analysis used the standard deviation ratio as a cluster validity measure. The clustering process produced five clusters. Cluster 1 consists of Kendari City which is characterized by a very high number of infectious disease cases. Cluster 2 includes Buton, Konawe, Bombana, North Kolaka and Baubau City which are characterized by low case numbers. Cluster 3 consists of Kolaka and South Konawe both of which have high numbers of cases. Cluster 4 includes Wakatobi, North Buton, North Konawe, East Kolaka, Konawe Islands, West Muna, Central Buton and South Buton which are characterized by very low numbers of cases. Cluster 5 consists of Muna District which is characterized by a moderately high number of infectious disease cases. These results indicate that the FCM method performs well in identifying patterns of disease spread across the region.

Abstract

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, with South Sulawesi showing a marked rise in cases from 2022 to 2024. This study aims to estimate and visualize the relative risk of AIDS across 24 districts and municipalities in the province by incorporating population density as a spatial covariate. Data were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office. A Bayesian Localised Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) spatio-temporal framework was applied to account for both spatial dependence and temporal variation. Model selection was guided by the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) and the Watanabe–Akaike Information Criterion (WAIC), with the best-fitting model identified at G = 3 using an Inverse-Gamma (1; 0.01) prior. The analysis revealed that population density had a significant positive association with AIDS incidence. Areas with higher density exhibited elevated relative risk values, particularly Makassar City (RR = 1.95) and Gowa Regency (RR = 1.82), whereas the lowest risks were found in Selayar (RR = 0.41) and East Luwu (RR = 0.45). These findings indicate distinct spatial clustering patterns and underscore the need for geographically focused intervention policies.

Abstract

Diarrhea continues to pose a significant public health challenge in Makassar City, with incidence varying across sub-districts. Mapping diarrhea risk is essential for public health planning, as it helps identify high-risk areas and allocate resources efficiently. Accurate spatial risk assessment supports targeted interventions and informs evidence-based health policies. This study aimed to identify areas with high and low relative risks (RR) of diarrhea cases using Bayesian spatial Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) models, specifically the Besag–York–Mollié (BYM) and Leroux approaches. The analysis was based on case data from 15 sub-districts in Makassar City in 2023. Model performance was assessed using the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) and the Watanabe–Akaike Information Criterion (WAIC). The CAR-Leroux model with an Inverse Gamma (IG) hyperprior (0.5; 0.0005) was identified as the best-fitting model, providing the most reliable estimation of relative risk. Kepulauan Sangkarrang exhibited the highest RR, indicating a markedly elevated risk of diarrhea relative to the city average, while Biringkanaya District showed the lowest RR, reflecting a substantially lower risk compared to the average.Keywords: Bayesian spasial models, CAR BYM, CAR Leroux, Diarrhea, Relative risk.
