Abstract

Radionuclides are widely used in nuclear medicine for diagnosis and therapy, but precise measurement of radiation dose is essential to keep patients and medical personnel safe. Dosimeters play a key role in measuring and evaluating radiation dose. This article discusses various types of dosimeters that are often used, such as Thermoluminescent Detectors (TLD), Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSLD), and Radiochromic films (Gafchromic EBT3). The discussion covers how each device works, advantages, disadvantages, and performance. The review shows that each dosimeter has certain advantages: TLD is suitable for personal dose measurement, OSLD is effective for monitoring exposure in the work environment, and Gafchromic EBT3 helps visualise dose distribution in radiation therapy. The article also emphasises the need for innovation in dosimetry technology to improve accuracy, efficiency and safety. This review is expected to serve as a guide for researchers and practitioners in choosing the right dosimeter, while encouraging the development of better technologies to support safe and effective nuclear medicine.

Abstract

In general, organic materials have been studied to have many benefits. One of the benefits of organic materials is that they can be used as the main ingredient for making sunscreen or sun protection, active ingredients in semiconductors, bioreductors, natural coloring materials and others. The Ultra Violet and Visible Light Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) technique is a technique that has been widely used in research, especially in knowing the potential utilization of organic materials. The purpose of this research is to review various studies that discuss the characterization of organic materials using the Ultra Violet and Visible Light Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) method to determine the benefits of organic materials by analyzing absorbance values and wavelengths. The method used was a literature study from October 30, 2024 to December 4, 2024. The variables studied in this research are absorbance properties, wavelength and the benefits of organic materials. The results showed that organic materials such as kalakai sprouts and roots have potential as sunscreen, coffee beans have the highest caffeine content, and breadfruit leaves and moringa leaves function as semiconductor active ingredients. Avocado peels produce high flavonoid levels, and coconut shells are effective as a base material for water filters. Water hyacinth and binahong leaves were used in bioreductors and optical property studies of C-dots, while turmeric, moss, pineapple shells and red cabbage were effective as natural colorants. Chili peppers, cacao pods, kalamansi citrus leaves, and soursop leaves were extracted to determine the levels of active compounds

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the analysis of radiation exposure around the CT-Scan room of Radiology Installation of Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda Hospital. This study aims to determine the level of radiation exposure in the surrounding area and evaluate the level of exposure according to BAPETEN's safe limits. In addition, this thesis tries to identify areas with radiation potential that exceeds the safe limit and find out the cause. The research method includes data collection by direct measurement using a surveymeter. The results obtained show significant variations in exposure levels at each location. In the operator's room, the dose rate of 1.62 mSv/h exceeded the permissible limit for radiation workers, which was likely due to proximity to radiation sources and suboptimal protection. In the ultrasound room, the dose rate was 0.497 mSv/hour. This value is still below the controlled area limit but above the public safety limit of 0.1 mSv/hour. In the hallway, the measured dose rate was 0.462 mSv/hr which also exceeded the public limit, requiring access restrictions for the public. The garden area showed a dose rate of 0.604 mSv/hour, with high exposure for areas that may be accessed by the public. Therefore, practical recommendations include the addition of shielding, access restrictions, and installation of warning signs to reduce exposure in areas frequently accessed by the public.

Abstract

This study presents a rigorous assessment of wind energy potential in Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia, through statistical modeling utilizing the two-parameter Weibull distribution applied to hourly wind speed data from 2022 to 2024 across three geographic zones and three elevation levels (50 m, 80 m, 100 m). The model exhibited strong statistical agreement with observed data, evidenced by high variation (R² > 0.9869) and low RMSE values (< 0.011), confirming its robustness in capturing wind behavior. Mean wind speeds, along with key Weibull-derived metrics—most probable wind speed (vmp) and wind speed for maximum energy contribution (vme)—showed a positive correlation with altitude, where zone 1 recorded the highest vme at 7.45 m/s at 100 m. Derived power density values indicated that Zones 1 and 3 fall within the "acceptable" classification (130.52 W/m² and 115.58 W/m², respectively), validating their technical viability. Simulated performance of the Goldwind GW 140/3.4 wind turbine revealed that Zone 1 yielded the highest annual energy output (Eout) of 10.34 GWh with a corresponding capacity factor (Cf) of 11.56%, followed by zones 3 and 2, which, while exhibiting lower outputs, maintained operational feasibility for decentralized small-to-medium scale deployment. Wind rose analysis confirmed predominant southeast and southern wind flows across all zones, offering critical input for optimizing turbine orientation. Collectively, the findings substantiate that zones 1 and 3 present favorable wind regimes for sustainable wind energy development, offering a data-driven foundation for future investment and regional energy planning.

Abstract

Carbon dots (CDs) are photoluminescent nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm with excellent optical properties, including high photostability, UV and visible light absorption, water solubility, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility. These features make them attractive for biomedical, optoelectronic, and catalytic applications. Curcumin, a polyphenol from turmeric, possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticancer, and antiviral properties, but its poor water solubility limits its biomedical use. In this study, CDs were synthesized from curcumin and urea via a solvothermal method at 140 °C for 180 minutes to improve curcumin's solubility. The effect of pH on the optical properties of CDs was investigated by adjusting acidity with citric acid and alkalinity with NaOH. UV-Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy revealed that the optical properties of CDs are strongly influenced by pH, likely due to the presence of keto-enol tautomerism in curcumin. The pH sensitivity of these curcumin-derived CDs highlights their potential for biomedical applications such as photothermal therapy, bioimaging, drug delivery, and antiviral agents.

Abstract

The research entitled "Geographic Information System (GIS) Application for Landslide Prone Level Mapping in Bandar Lampung City" is motivated by data obtained from BPBD in 2018, there are at least 15 sub-districts in Bandar Lampung which are indicated as landslide-prone areas because they have hills and valleys that are quite dangerous. For this reason, it is necessary to create a landslide prone zone map to produce information about the position related to the level of landslide vulnerability in the city of Semarang. This map can be used as a reference material in decision making to prevent landslides in vulnerable areas, thus reducing the number of casualties and material as well as planning in the development of facilities and infrastructure. This research uses remote sensing image data and GIS (Geographic Information System) by weighting the parameters that affect landslide occurrence, namely: slope, land cover, soil type, and rainfall. The result of this research is a landslide vulnerability map divided into 4 vulnerability classes, namely: low, medium, high, and very high. And the information obtained from the 4 factors, the potential for landslides in Bandar Lampung City is divided into 4 characteristics of landslide prone zones, namely low level zones in 7 sub-districts, medium level in 9 sub-districts, high level in 5 sub-districts, and very high level in 7 sub-districts.

Abstract

This research was conducted in the Tempuran geothermal manifestation area, Magelang, Central Java, specifically in a location with indications of fault structure. The study aims to identify the subsurface structural conditions associated with the fault through the distribution pattern of gravity anomalies. This research used gravity method, with the data are gravity disturbance from GGMplus with a resolution of approximately 220 meters. The gravity disturbance data were processed to obtain Complete Bouguer Anomaly (CBA) data, which were then subjected to upward continuation and forward modeling. The CBA results reveal a high anomaly in the southern part of the study area, extending southwestward, which correlates with the Menoreh Mountains. A low anomaly is found in the northeastern part of the area, corresponding to a lowland region. The 2D modeling results indicate that the study area is composed of rocks with densities ranging from 1.00 g/cm³ to 1.60 g/cm³, interpreted as alluvium; 1.75 g/cm³ to 2.73 g/cm³, interpreted as the Kebobutak Formation; and 2.50 g/cm³, interpreted as deposits from theyoung Sumbing Volcano. Additionally, rocks with densities ranging from 2.40 g/cm³ to 2.77 g/cm³ are interpreted as andesitic intrusions, while rocks with a density of 2.83 g/cm³ are interpreted as dacitic intrusions. The presence of a normal fault is identified within the Kebobutak Formation and the andesitic intrusion, overlain by alluvial deposits.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the subsurface structure of the geothermal system in the Pacitan area, East Java, using gravity methods based on GGMPlus data. The analysis procedures include terrain correction to obtain the Complete Bouguer Anomaly (CBA), separation of regional and local anomalies through upward continuation, as well as two-dimensional (2D) modeling and Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) analysis to identify fault structure. The CBA values in the study area range from 107 to 115.5 mGal, where high anomalies correlate with volcanic breccia rocks and highlands, while low anomalies indicate the presence of sandstone in lowland areas. Geothermal manifestations in the form of hot springs exhibit gravity anomalies of approximately 110.5–111.5 mGal and are situated in the north of the fault in a northwest–southeast direction. The 2D modeling results reveal the presence of reservoir rocks consisting of sandstone and clay with densities ranging from 1.79 to 2.20 g/cm³, and lava rocks with densities of 2.80–2.90 g/cm³ acting as cap rocks. SVD analysis indicates the existence of a normal fault directly associated with geothermal fluid pathways. This study demonstrates that the GGMPlus gravity method is effective for preliminary exploration of geothermal systems in potential areas such as Pacitan.
