Abstract

Abstract Natural disasters often occur on this earth, especially in Indonesia. There are several types of disasters that occur, namely: geological disasters, hydrometeorological disasters and others. This natural disaster caused quite a lot of casualties and not a few material. Good post-natural disaster management is necessary to minimize the number of victims of a disaster. One form of handling this natural disaster is by providing electrical energy that can be used to provide lighting and communication systems. The provision of electrical energy consists of several integrated systems to form a compact, simple and efficient unit. This tool consists of a Solar Power Generation system, GenSet system, inverter system, Change Over Switch system and Global Positioning System system. This tool is named SUNPO which stands for Sun Power or Solar Power. With this SUNPO, it can function as a power supply to power direct current loads and alternating current loads. If the solar power is not enough to charge the battery then the system can be operated with a GenSet. Meanwhile, to find out the position of SUNPO, a Global Positioning System is also installed. Highlights: Effective Disaster Response: Efficient post-disaster management is crucial to minimize casualties and damage caused by natural disasters, especially in Indonesia. SUNPO Tool Integration: The SUNPO (Sun Power) tool integrates solar power generation, GenSet backup, inverter, changeover switch, and GPS systems to provide a reliable and compact solution for electricity supply in disaster-stricken areas. Dual Power Source: SUNPO offers dual power sources - solar energy and GenSet - ensuring continuous electricity supply for both direct and alternating current loads, enhancing communication and lighting systems for affected communities. Keywords: Natural disasters, Post-disaster management, SUNPO, Solar Power, Global Positioning System.

Abstract

Alkali treatment of natural fibers has a role in removing hemicellulose and lignin layers. This layer prevents the matrix from bonding with the natural fiber cellulose structure. The use of an inappropriate type of alkali will reduce its effectiveness and can even damage the cellulose layer. This study compared the effectiveness of alkaline NaOH, CaOH and KOH in removing lignin and hemicellulose and their ability to maintain cellulose content. The use of the immersion method in alkaline solutions is well controlled. The FTIR characterization test was used to detect functional group changes, the TGV test to detect heat resistance ability, the XRD test to detect structural changes in crystalline and amorphous properties of sansevieria natural fibers. Furthermore, the tensile test to determine the effect of alkaline treatment on changes in mechanical strength Tensile strength. From the test results it was found that the alkaline NaOH gave the best characteristics by detecting the presence of cellulose, tensile strength and the nature of the crystalline atomic structure. Highlights: Effectiveness of Alkali Types: Comparison of NaOH, CaOH, and KOH effectiveness in removing lignin and hemicellulose while preserving cellulose content. Characterization Techniques: FTIR, TGA, and XRD tests used for functional group changes, heat resistance, and structural properties evaluation. NaOH Superiority: Alkaline NaOH treatment demonstrated best results in maintaining cellulose, enhancing tensile strength, and influencing atomic structure. Keywords: Alkali treatment, Natural fibers, Lignin removal, Cellulose preservation, Tensile strength.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by a prolonged lack of sufficient nutrient intake, resulting in impaired growth and shorter stature (dwarfism) in children compared to age standards. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting remains high according to WHO standards, mainly due to the limited information available on stunting, particularly regarding preventive measures. In the era of Industry 4.0, rapid technological advancements, especially in the field of healthcare, have provided enhanced access to information and early disease diagnosis through expert system-based applications. The objective of this research is to design an application that assists the community in early detection of stunting in children, enabling timely intervention. The chosen approach involves forward chaining inference machine, testing input symptoms to draw conclusions based on the knowledge rules stored in the knowledge base. The outcome of this research is an application that facilitates parents and integrated service posts in preventing stunting disorders in children. Highlight: Intervensi Tepat Waktu: Aplikasi ini memungkinkan deteksi dini stunting, memungkinkan intervensi tepat waktu untuk mencegah gangguan pertumbuhan pada anak. Pendekatan Sistem Pakar: Memanfaatkan inferensi rantai maju, aplikasi menggunakan pengetahuan Integrasi Teknologi dan Layanan Kesehatan: Memanfaatkan kemajuan Industri 4.0, aplikasi ini menjembatani kesenjangan antara teknologi dan layanan kesehatan, memberdayakan masyarakat dan pos layanan terpadu untuk memerangi stunting secara efektif. Kata kunci: Stunting, Sistem pakar, Deteksi dini, Pelayanan kesehatan terpadu, Industri 4

Abstract

Natural food color are now widely used in food products because they have no side effects that are harmful to the health of the human body. Red dragon skin is one of the sources of natural food coloring. Red dragon skin contains betasianin pigment which produces red-violet. Research aims to determine the effect of the type of solvent and extraction temperature on the characteristics of the Betasianin pigment extract. Betasianin pigment is extracted using the decox method. The parameters measured are colors (L, a, b), pH, and betasianin pigment content. Research uses a randomized group design. Betacyanin pigment from red dragon fruit skin can be extracted using the water bath assisted solvent extraction method. An effective solvent used for the extraction of betacyanin pigment is distilled water and NaCl. Betacyanin pigment can be a natural colorant in food products. Highlights: Optimal Solvent Selection: Distilled water and NaCl are effective solvents for betacyanin pigment extraction, enhancing natural food colorant potential. Influence of Extraction Temperature: Study investigates how extraction temperature impacts betacyanin pigment content and color characteristics. Application in Food Industry: Betacyanin pigment from red dragon fruit skin offers a safe and vibrant natural coloring option for food products. Keywords : betacyanin, extraction, red dragon fruit peel
