Abstract

The land requirement for Putri Betung Sub District in Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) area kept increasing along with the population growth. The population density in the Putri Betung Sub-district was driven by the need for cultivation and residential area along the GLNP conservation boundary. This study aims to analyze the space adequacy for Putri Betung Sub-District in the GLNP area based on the population pressure prediction for 20 years. The research method was conducted by field survey using remote sensing, interviewed the residents, and analyzed the population pressure index using the Soemarwoto formula. ThePopulation Pressure Index (PPI)forthe cultivation area was determined from 13 villages in Putri Betung Subdistrict and shows that 12 villages had a PPI 1 value (population pressure was over the land carrying capacity limits). Only one village had PPI 1 (population pressure less than the land carrying capacity. Based on data surveys obtained, the cultivation area set in the Putri Betung area was no longer sufficient for population, resultingfrom the expansion in the GLNP area of 4,776.97 ha. Meanwhile, predictive analysis on space adequacy for people living decently in Putri Betung Sub District for 20 upcoming years is 6117.15 ha. In conclusion, 12 out of 13 villages in the Putri Betung SubDistrict havePPI 1 value, which is inversely proportional to the land carrying capacity. The PPI values could result in other pressures on the ecology and biodiversity conservation in National Park. It is suggested that the government need to surpassthe pressure by making new policy on peoples resettlement, expanding the cultivation area, or shifting people's livelihoods.

Abstract

Mesoporous silica is a versatile material characterized by its highly ordered nanoporous structure with pore diameters ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. This unique structure provides a large surface area and volume, making mesoporous silica an excellent candidate for various applications in adsorption, drug delivery, catalysis, and environmental remediation. Mesoporous silica can be synthesized using commercial or natural silica precursors such as mineral clay and other natural sources. Promising alternative sources of silica for synthesizing mesoporous materials encompass a range of materials, including various clay minerals such as kaolin, rectorite, halloysite, montmorillonite, sepiolite, hectorite, bentonite, talc, muscovite, paragonite, palygorskite, and chlorite. Other natural sources like beach sand, geothermal sludge, and sepiolite also show significant potential for mesoporous material synthesis. However, these sources have not been extensively explored and warrant further investigation in the field. The mesoporous silica from natural sources has been widely used as a catalyst for biofuel production via hydrocracking, catalytic cracking, and deoxygenation reactions

Abstract

Currently, there are two types of brake linings in the market: asbestos brake lining and asbestos-free brake linings. The asbestos Brake lining was widely used due to durability, heat resistance and friction properties. In terms of price, asbestos brake linings are indeed cheaper than asbestos-free brake linings, However, they have negative impact on the environment and human health. In high enough concentrations, asbestos dust can cause Mesothelioma, a malignant tumor in the lining of the lungs). Therefore, it is necessary to find a substitute material for asbestos that is affordable but possesses similar characteristics to asbestos brake linings. While, the high production of salak in Indonesia has a side effect, i.e.: the large volume of waste in the form of peel and seeds of salak. If not utilized, of course this will become waste. Meanwhile, glass waste is an inorganic waste material that is very difficult to decompose and pollutes the environment. Meanwhile, glass waste is one of the inorganic waste materials that is very difficult to decompose and pollutes the environment. The aim of this study was to characterize composite resin materials reinforced with glass waste powder, Snake Fruit Peel Powder and teak wood sawdust as alternative brake lining materialsThe research was conducted through laboratory experiments, beginning with the manufacture of sample specimens, followed by measuring their density, hardness, and friction coefficient testing then compared to brake lining on the market and also based on the SNI 09-0143-1987 standard. The result showed, some of the investigated samples in this study meet the reqirement of SNI 09-143-1987, where the lowest Brinell Hardness number of the sample 120.33. There are 5 specimens of friction coefficient of the specimens are also fullfill the requirement.

Abstract

Global trends in electric vehicle adoption have been increasing significantly in recent years. In Indonesia, the government has issued various policies to encourage the use of electric cars. However, anticipation of the environmental impact of this program has not yet received serious attention. Current regulations regarding battery waste management still refer to existing regulations governing hazardous and toxic waste. This study aims to forecast the potential of battery waste from electric cars in the future and provide policy recommendations to establish a sustainable electric car program. The methods of analysis employed include material flow analysis and policy content analysis. Based on three scenarios (low, medium, and high adoption scenarios), the analysis results show a significant increase in battery waste in all scenarios from 2025 to 2040. The increase in active materials, aluminum, and copper waste could exceed 50 times during this period. Electrolyte, plastic, and steel waste also increase substantially, with growth reaching 3050 times. Although relatively small in volume, rare earth metals are projected to rise 19 times. By 2040, the potential of battery waste is estimated to reach 1,998,911 tons in a low adoption scenario, 2,600,540 tons in a medium adoption scenario, and 3,170,517 tons in a high adoption scenario. The result of policy content analysis of the electric vehicle regulations issued by the Indonesian government since 2019 demonstrates that efforts to enhance electric vehicle adoption will become the main focus for the government in the coming years. A thematic mapping of policies related to 20 electric vehicle regulations published during this period reveals that only three regulations address environmental issues. This study indicates the need for policy improvements by formulating specific derivative regulations that govern electric car battery waste management.

Abstract

Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) is a structural system that is advised to be built in seismically active areas since they are characterized by good stiffness and ductility. A large and stable hysteretic curve, which corresponds to good seismic performance, is produced by the combination of improved stiffness and ductility in EBF. The diagonal component of EBF, known as a brace, contributes to its stiffness. Meanwhile, the short beam, also known as the link element, provides ductility in EBF. One element that is essential as an energy dissipator in EBF is a link element. By displaying a sizable and steady hysteretic curve, a prior study found that EBF with a flexural link could effectively dissipate the seismic energy. But to achieve a higher EBF, the seismic performance still needs to be enhanced. An analysis of various EBF models in Inverted V configurations was conducted in this paper. Each model was prepared with different shear link characteristics. Installing web stiffeners in the link to improve its seismic performance was also taken into consideration in this study. To obtain seismic performance, the cyclic loads were employed to each model under conditions of yield displacement control. Analysis of the data resulted in the load-displacement hysteretic curve. Next, using the hysteretic curve, the three seismic performance parameters, i.e., strength, stiffness, and dissipation energy were further developed. The investigation showed that compared to earlier studies, the EBF with shear links showed a bigger and more stable hysteretic curve which means better dissipated energy. Additionally, adding web stiffeners significantly increases the EBF's seismic capability. Therefore, because of the improved seismic characteristics, it is advised to establish the EBF using a shear link reinforced by web stiffeners in an earthquake-hazard area.

Abstract

Deep Learning (DL) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used for a plethora number of researches lately. Deep Learning works by representing data in layers of learning layers so that the representation becomes more meaningful, and Support Vector Machine tries to find the hyperplane that maximizes the margin between the hyperplane and the closest data points from each class so that the classification becomes more accurate. Both algorithms have proven to be powerful tools for any classification problem specially to classify or identify image patterns. However, the performance of machine learning algorithms can be affected by any factor, thus sometimes we found several algorithms that are generally known to be powerful, even showing unsatisfactory results. The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of classification methods Deep Learning and Support Vector Machine to detect face mask. Face mask detection has gained significant attention and importance in the context of public health and safety, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study revealed that Deep Learning algorithm performed better than the Support Vector Machine Algorithm and showed excellent performance in all four metrics. In particular, the Deep Learning algorithm achieved an average Sensitivity/Recall rate of 92%, a Specificity rate of 95.44%, a Precision rate of 95.28%, and an Accuracy rate of 93.72%.

Abstract

Gunung Badak Complex is located in Ciletuh Palabuhanratu UNESCO Global Geopark, which preserves significant records of tectonic evolution in Southern West Java. This research aims to characterize igneous rocks and interpret tectonic implications. The methodology includes petrographic analysis, major element geochemical characterization using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), and trace elements and Rare Earth Element (REE) analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) from 8 selected samples. The results identify three distinct rock groups consisting of diorite (SiO 51.5-52.48%), basalt (SiO 50.69-52.52%), and serpentinized peridotite (SiO 40.59%, MgO 34.63%). Diorite and basalt exhibit tholeiitic affinity with low KO (0.25-0.69%), Mg# 49.67-58.13, indicating early-stage island arc magmatism. Serpentinized peridotite exhibits residual harzburgite characteristics with Mg# 89.29. Trace element geochemistry shows enrichment of LILE (Cs, Ba, Pb, Sr) relative to HFSE (Nb, Zr), with negative Nb-Ta anomalies and La/Nb ratios of 2.21-3.75 typical of subduction environments. Diorite-basalt displays moderate LREE enrichment ((La/Yb)N 1.40-2.63), while serpentinized peridotite shows LREE depletion ((La/Yb)N 0.54). Dy/Yb ratios (1.20-1.91) indicate magma sources from partial melting of spinel peridotite at depths 50 km. The geodynamic model indicates that serpentinized peridotite originated from lithospheric mantle in a supra-subduction zone (SSZ) environment during Eocene subduction initiation, while diorite and basalt formed during early Miocene island arc magmatism (~22 Ma).

Abstract

In recent years, forest areas in Aceh Province, especially in West Aceh Regency, have experienced a significant decline in forest cover. This can negatively impact biodiversity, community quality of life, and natural disaster risk, exacerbating global climate change. The fact that West Aceh is one of the regencies with the highest number of gold and coal mining companies in Aceh is a significant concern when assessing whether mining activities impact forest cover loss. This study aims to monitor and quantify forest cover change and the impact of mining activities in Aceh Barat from 2019 to 2024. The research methodology included the use of Google Earth Engine (GEE) for Sentinel-2 satellite image analysis by calculating the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI); NDVI values above 0.7 were classified as forest, values below 0.7 as non-forest, and negative values as water bodies. The analysis showed that forest cover loss in West Aceh reached 13030.84 ha over the last five years at an average rate of 2606.17 ha/year. Illegal gold mining activities contributed 12.8%, legal coal mining 10.2%, and legal gold mining 7.3% to forest cover loss, while non-mining factors caused 69.7%. This study presents a cost-effective forest monitoring method that supports biodiversity protection and improved forest management policies in mining areas.
