Abstract

Graphite is a carbon-based material potentially utilized in numerous applications, such as electrodes for supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, and absorbers for water treatment. Biomass graphite is a beneficial candidate for low-cost yet valuable graphite. In this work, coconut shells, the abundant materials with high carbon contents, were successfully transformed into valuable coconut shell graphite (CSG) using metal catalytic graphitization with nickel as a catalyst at low-temperature conditions of ~1200 °C. Nickel concentration varied between 2 mmol, 3 mmol, and 5 mmol per gram of carbon. The samples were further examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The high graphitization degree of ~ 72 % was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. That was further supported by the high-ordered stacking carbon layer that appeared in HR-TEM images. Meanwhile, Raman spectroscopy confirms that nickel impregnation diminished the structural defect of samples and increased the sp2-carbon bond indicated by its rise of IG/ID. The IG/ID values of CGS and CGS-Ni5mmol are 0.86 and 0.92, respectively.

Abstract

As lithium battery technology improves, it becomes more important to have solid polymer electrolyte dividers that work better. The objective of this study is to enhance the efficiency of solid polymer electrolyte separators in lithium batteries. This research aims to expand the limits of innovation in hybrid separator development by utilizing empty palm fruit bunches (OPFEB) as a plentiful source of cellulose acetate. This approach enhances ion transfer by increasing the number of pores in the separator. However, there are challenges to achieving the desired levels of optimal ionic conductivity. In order to address these constraints, this study presents a novel Al2O3-PAA inert ceramic oxide coating treatment that is applied to the separator by a spin coating technique. An electron microscope was utilized to observe the pore structure of the separator. Additionally, the separator underwent physical, mechanical, thermal, and cyclic voltammetry tests. The findings of this research indicate a significant increase in the physical properties, particularly the porosity and mechanical strength. The thermal shrinkage of the Al2O3-PAA coated separator is below 10% when exposed to a temperature of 140 oC for 30 minutes. The Cyclic Voltammetry test results demonstrate a pronounced loop curve, indicating an improvement in the ionic conductivity of the Al2O3-PAA coated separator. The findings of this study provide a method to enhance the efficiency of  separator performance at high temperatures while maintaining safety and long battery life.

Abstract

Sabang City has grown in term of city’s population as well as the tourism activity. The development also meant there are more area that has been used when compared to the time before the 2004 tsunami. This research was developed to re-identify tsunami-prone zones with the current land cover condition in Sabang City and to provide recommended safe locations, alternative evacuation routes, and additional evacuation sites. We used Cornell Multi-grid Coupled Tsunami Model (COMCOT) to carried out the tsunami simulation added with updated land cover to provide more accurate simulation model. The simulation pointed out several tsunami hazard zones in Sabang City, such as Balohan, Kuta Ateuh, and Iboih with expected tsunami heights to be more than 3 meters and arrival time less than 60 minutes. Those areas then surveyed to develop recommendations for tsunami risk reductions. The recommendations included nine additional evacuation buildings are proposed, three sites in each zone. Another recommendation is in form of evacuation routes in each zone to complement existing routes stated in RTRW document.

Abstract

ZnO nanostructures show a wide range of applications as active materials in optoelectronic devices. The unique structures in 1-dimensional (1D) in combination with other potential materials (such as graphene-based) can increase several device performances. This research aims to observe the influence of an additional electric field (induced by different voltages of ±1 kV) during the growing process of the zinc oxide (ZnO): graphene oxide (GO) crystal. The ZnO:GO layers were prepared via the self-assembly method in 2 steps; the first was seed layer preparation by dip coating technique using Zn (CH3COO)2.2H2O and 0.5 (wt%) of AlCl3 as precursor and dopant, respectively. Secondly, growing ZnO rods using Zn (NO3)2·6H2O as precursor, 0.5 (wt%) GO (dispersed in water) as dopant materials, and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as complexing agent. Applying an external field during self-assembly accelerated the ZnO hexagonal wurtzite crystal formation in a vertical growth direction, increasing the aspect ratio (L/d) of ZnO:GO rods. The direction of the applied external field affected the structure and morphology of the ZnO rods, which relates to ions and seed layer surface polarity during the synthesis process. The addition of an external field during the growing process induced the orderly alignment of ZnO rods, controlling growth perpendicular to the basal plane. This research has a significant scientific impact, elucidating the methods to control the 1D morphology of the ZnO growing process, which is closely related to the surface polarity properties of a material.

Abstract

Landslides in Bone Bolango Regency have increasingly impacted the population, with data showing a rise in affected areas from 2020 to 2021. To mitigate these risks, mapping areas with potential landslides is crucial for providing early warnings, although such efforts remain incomplete. Therefore, this research aims to determine the potential for landslides in Bone Bolango Regency, especially in Suka Damai Village. The geophysical method used in this research is the geomagnetic method because it utilizes the magnetic properties of rocks below the surface and can interpret subsurface structures in areas with the potential for landslides. Based on the research results, it was identified that the research location is dominated by diorite and granodiorite igneous rocks, where diorite rocks dominate from the surface to a depth of 40 meters with a susceptibility contrast value of 3 – (2.5) SI. Meanwhile, granodiorite rocks are found at a 20 – 110 m depth with a susceptibility value of 1.5 – 3 SI. Based on 3D visualization, it was found that diorite rock acted as landslide material, and granodiorite rock acted as sliding rock. Besides that, material movement forms slopes caused by shear failure that occurs along one or more landslide planes. This research confirms that the research area is a potential landslide area with a level of stability in category D, which means it is less stable.

Abstract

Refractive vision disorders, such as myopia, can significantly influence an individual's cognitive performance, particularly their ability to perceive and interpret visual stimuli. Myopia, a common refractive error affecting children and adults, can be assessed using various methods, including electroencephalography (EEG). The primary objective of this investigation was to identify distinctive brain signals associated with myopia. This study delves into analyzing brain signals in myopic individuals by employing EEG data and spectral entropy analysis through MNE-Python. EEG data were collected from five myopic participants during a 10-minute session, both with and without their corrective glasses. The collected data underwent preprocessing and power spectral density calculations. Subsequently, spectral entropy analysis was employed to assess the complexity and distribution skewness of EEG frequency patterns. The results of this study revealed notable differences in brain activity, particularly in the occipital region, between individuals wearing glasses and those without them. This variance could be attributed to the enhanced visual clarity experienced by individuals wearing glasses, enabling them to perceive better and process the visual stimuli presented in the study videos. Specifically, spectral entropy values were lower in children without glasses (averaging 1.0) than those with glasses (averaging 3.5), indicating a higher degree of irregularity in the brain activity of myopic children who do not wear corrective eyewear. In conclusion, this study indicates an increase in brain activity irregularities among children without glasses. The findings suggest that specific factors, such as blinking and hand movements, play a role in exacerbating this irregularity. These findings reveal how myopia affects brainwave patterns and indicate that EEG and spectral entropy analysis can enhance our understanding of refractive vision disorders.

Abstract

Physics is a science that teaches about physical phenomena. To make it easier for students to learn physics in the Merdeka curriculum, appropriate media for learning. "Profil Pelajar Pancasila" in the Merdeka curriculum is Indonesia's response to the 21st-century education paradigm to increase students' critical thinking. This research aimed to determine the effect of contextual learning media in bulletins and PowerPoint on contextual critical thinking ability in terms of curiosity. The research instruments were formative assessment, curiosity questionnaire, contextual teaching module, bulletin, and PowerPoint. The research used an experimental method, which was held in classes of 10 senior high schools; one control class used PowerPoint, and another class used a bulletin as an experiment class. Before the study was done, those instruments were tested in different schools. Data that were taken for this research were critical thinking using assessment and curiosity using questionnaires, but the researcher also documented the study through videos. The data was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics and Microsoft Excel, including questions on validity and reliability, normality, homogeneity, two-tailed t-tests, two-way analysis of variance, effect size, and Scheffe. Based on research, using contextual bulletin has a better effect on critical thinking than using learning media, which teachers, namely PowerPoint, always use. The student's results can be improved through innovative media, and this study proves that it effectively increases students' critical thinking by using bulletins as media. This study can become a reference for Merdeka curriculum learning, and the teacher can use it in the school to enrich and enhance the media references that will be used.

Abstract

Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-based optical waveguide is a good candidate for a simple and low-cost waveguide. However, the thermal properties have not been investigated. In this work, thermal durability characterization of PMMA-based waveguide was carried out. Waveguide fabrication process was done in three stages, which are patterning the PMMA cladding, core material synthetization and core material application to the cladding. Core pattern with cross section area of 1×1 mm2 was engraved on the 4 cm long PMMA sheet. Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) was used as a core material. Characterizations were conducted for temperature dependent loss (TDL), temperature working range, and long exposure durability. For TDL characterization, the temperature varied from 30°C to 75°C. Meanwhile, for temperature working range, the waveguide was exposed to cycled heating. The thermal durability characterization was done by immersing the waveguide in distilled water at temperature of 40 °C for 288 hours. The results showed that a little change of output intensity occurred due to temperature variation with TDL of 0.0235 dB/°C. The maximum limit of the temperature is 70°C. For long exposure to temperature of 40oC, the results showed that the waveguide has a good performance.

Abstract

In pursuing innovative educational strategies, this study investigates the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) with blended learning to enhance students' conceptual understanding of magnetism. Utilizing AR as a significant educational tool provides an immersive experience that aids in comprehending complex concepts. At the same time, blended learning combines traditional classroom methods with online resources for a more effective approach. This research employs an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group involving 60 students from the Islamic University of Raden Intan Lampung enrolled in a physics course on magnetism. The experimental group experienced AR-enhanced blended learning, while the control group received traditional blended learning without AR. Quantitative data analysis included descriptive statistics and the N-Gain test to measure the intervention's effectiveness, with ANOVA used to examine differences in conceptual understanding between the groups. Qualitative data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to identify common themes and patterns. The results indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group's understanding of magnetism compared to the control group, highlighting AR's effectiveness in enhancing interactivity and engagement, facilitating the visualization of abstract concepts, and reinforcing the linkage between theory and practical application. These findings offer educators and curriculum developers valuable insights, laying a foundation for future interdisciplinary educational research.

Abstract

Applying rainfall data for each month from Princeton University from January 1948 to December 2016, the impact of the Pacific El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which is focused in the Indian Ocean, on rainfall in Indonesia was examined. IOD occurrences are significantly correlated with rainfall, as seen by the simultaneous association of seasonal rainfall anomalies during the peak of the rainy season (NDJ) in Indonesia's dry, wet, and neutral years, as well as other climatic indices in both climates. Rainfall has occurred in parts of South Sumatra, Java, South Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, and East Papua. Meanwhile, ENSO events significantly correlate with rainfall in the southern regions of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. El Niño is associated with low sea surface temperature anomalies in the Indonesian Sea and southeast Indian Ocean. The low SST anomaly lowers the mean sea surface level (MSL). It reduces the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, suppressing atmospheric convection in Indonesia and leading to a very sharp decrease in rainfall. Based on the forecasting and exploration of rainfall patterns in Indonesia described in this study, this research can be used as a reference for the government to prepare preventive measures against extreme global climate change events and to predict hydrometeorological disasters in disaster-prone areas.
