Abstract

The increasing demand for renewable energy necessitates sustainable alternatives such as biochar briquettes derived from agricultural waste. This study aims to optimize the production process and evaluate the physical, mechanical, and combustion properties of biochar briquettes made from corn residues, rice husks, and coconut shells. The methodology includes biomass carbonization, binder ratio optimization, and systematic testing of key quality parameters such as moisture content, density, ash content, and calorific value. Results indicate that an optimal biomass-to-binder ratio yields a high calorific value (7,192 kcal/kg) and low ash content (3.57%), enhancing combustion efficiency. Maintaining moisture content below 10% enhances ignition and prolongs burning time. These findings highlight biochar briquettes' role in carbon sequestration, biomass conversion, and sustainable waste management, supporting the circular economy and reducing environmental pollution. Biochar briquettes offer a clean, accessible energy solution, contributing to global energy security and climate change mitigation.

Abstract

Clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals are confronted with the challenge of efficiently extracting relevant knowledge from vast amounts of textual data. Medical text summarization emerges as a crucial tool to address this challenge by condensing lengthy medical documents into concise, informative summaries. A comprehensive hybrid approach is proposed to address the challenges in medical text summarization by combining both extractive and abstractive methods, by integrating Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM of Large Language Model. The performance this proposed approach is compared with existing methods such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Text Rank, K-means, face book BART-Large-CNN, GPT2 using ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-L metrics. The experimental results show that hybrid approach is outperforming other existing methods. Medical text summarization helps extract important information from large medical documents. This work combines two methods, TF-IDF and AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, to create better summaries, performing better than existing techniques like BERT and GPT-2 based on ROUGE scores.

Abstract

The growing issue of disposable baby diaper waste requires an effective collection model to support sustainable waste management. This study designs a community-based collection model using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to identify the most effective approach. Three models are evaluated: Model 1 (Community-Based Diaper Bank), Model 2 (Scheduled Diaper Pick-Up Program), and Model 3 (Diaper Collection Points at Public Facilities). Results show Model 1 is the most effective, with the highest Global Priority score of 0.415, due to its contributions to reducing environmental impact, raising public awareness, and incentivizing participation. Model 2 and Model 3 follow with scores of 0.353 and 0.261. The environmental criterion holds the highest weight (0.504), emphasizing its importance. These findings suggest that community-based models can enhance waste collection efficiency and support sustainability. The results can inform policy development and help guide future research on sustainable waste management practices.

Abstract

Climate change poses a significant threat to transportation infrastructure, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) City, Indonesia, which faces increased risks of flooding and the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. However, limited research has assessed the combined impacts of climate and land use changes on infrastructure resilience. This study addresses this gap by integrating remote sensing analysis, climatological data, field observations, and stakeholder interviews to identify key vulnerabilities. The results highlight that low-lying and high-impermeability areas, such as the BSD highway and Central Business District (CBD), are highly susceptible to flooding and UHI effects. To enhance resilience, the study proposes structural, nature-based, and technology-driven adaptation strategies, including improved drainage, sponge city concepts, and IoT-based climate monitoring. These findings provide essential insights for urban planners and policymakers, emphasizing the need for climate-adaptive infrastructure planning and sustainable urban development policies.

Abstract

Industrial areas in Indonesia are increasing every year with a total of 136 industrial estates in 2024, of which 61.76% are in Java, such as Kendal Industrial Estate (KIE) with an increase in built-up land of 289.52 hectares (2015-2017). The problem is that the development was carried out by converting vegetation cover. The purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of the increase in built-up land on the environmental quality index around Kendal Industrial Estate. Research method with supervised classification Random Forest method and spectral transformation Risk Screening Enviromental Indicators with indicators of greenness index, humidity Index, dryness Index and heat index with Principal Component Analysis technique. The results showed that built-up land around KIE increased by 894.17 hectares which resulted in a decrease in vegetation cover of 184.71 hectares (2015-2024), this phenomenon had an impact on increasing low-level RSEI by around 2,028.31 hectares (2015-2024). The regression results show that the increase in built-up land and the reduction of vegetation cover have an impact on the decline in environmental quality in the study area. The contribution of the research results can be used as a database for regulation of land use change restrictions.

Abstract

Runway construction on soft soil presents significant engineering challenges due to excessive settlement, which can affect structural stability and long-term performance of transportation infrastructure. This study investigates the settlement of a runway in Sumbawa, Indonesia using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in Plaxis 2D. The Hardening Soil Model was applied to realistically capture nonlinear soil behavior. Input parameters were derived from a series of N-SPT data and laboratory test results. The findings indicate that during the operational phase, the maximum and minimum settlement were 307.1 mm and 2.491x10-3 mm, respectively. Meanwhile, consolidation-induced settlement reached a maximum of 357.97 mm and a minimum of 10.6 mm. The distribution of total settlement along the runway varied depending on soil characteristics. Sections with predominantly clayey soil exhibited greater settlement, whereas areas with sandy soil experienced significantly lower settlement.

Abstract

Groundwater subsidence during dewatering work can be a serious challenge if soil conditions are unstable, potentially disrupting the stability of supporting structures such as soil retaining walls. This research analyzed the stability of soldier pile type soil retaining walls  during the dewatering process in hospital construction projects in the BSD area. The data used included the results of Standard Penetration Test (N-SPT), monitoring of dewatering work, inclinometer readings, and stability analysis using a 2D-based finite element software. The simulation results showed that the decrease in the groundwater level caused a change in lateral pressure on the retaining wall, with the maximum deformation reaching 2 m and the safety factor dropping from SF = 2.5 to SF = 2.2. If the analysis indicates a critical impact on stability (SF < 1.5 or deformation exceeding tolerances), then mitigation measures such as the installation of additional struts or dewatering system optimization are required. These findings provide technical guidance to minimize the risk of structural failure during the dewatering process on softsoils.

Abstract

The advantage of biolubricant compared to mineral oil is that biolubricant can ensure environmental sustainability. This research aims to investigate sustainable biolubricants of virgin coconut oil (VCO) and olive oil on wear behaviours with different fatty acid compositions and surface roughnesses in the mixed lubrication regimes. Tests were carried out on pin-on-disc equipment at a speed of 500 rpm with loads of 50 and 100 N. We used two types of biolubricants and surface roughness of the disks (0.8 and 6.3 µm). The research results show that the lauric acid content in VCO could reduce the wear rate of the disk. The surface roughness of the disc had a significant influence on the wear rate for both biolubricants; the smoother the surface of the disc, the more wear rate will decrease. The effect of surface roughness of the disc with both biolubricants could reduce the scar width of the disc and the scar diameter of the pin. The scar width of the disk was higher when compared to the scar diameter of the pin; by using VCO, there was a decrease of percentage in scar width of 32% by using smooth surface. VCO could be a promising sustainable bio-based lubricant in the future, especially in the mixed lubrication regimes
