Abstract

Global energy demand, including in Indonesia, remains heavily dependent on non-renewable sources (fossil fuels), whose reserves are steadily depleting. The combustion of these fuels releases various pollutants into the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to air pollution, acid rain, climate change, and adverse human health effects such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This condition underscores the urgent need for the development of environmentally friendly alternative fuels such as biodiesel. This study aims to synthesize biodiesel from waste cooking oil through a transesterification reaction using a catalyst derived from duck eggshells, which was converted into a NaOH-impregnated CaO nanocatalyst. The nanocatalyst was prepared via the sol-gel method with continuous stirring for 3 hours at 4000 rpm. NaOH impregnation was applied at concentrations of 35%, 45%, and 55% of the total catalyst weight. The resulting sol-gel was separated from the residue, dried, and then calcined at 900°C for 1 hour, producing nanocatalysts designated as 35NaOH/CaO, 45NaOH/CaO, and 55NaOH/CaO. The catalysts were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and PSA. The transesterification reaction was carried out at 60°C for 2 hours, with an oil-to-methanol molar ratio of 1:9 and a catalyst loading of 3% by weight relative to the oil. The biodiesel produced was characterized using GC-MS, yielding the highest methyl ester content of 99.89% with the 55NaOH/CaO catalyst. These results indicate that the biodiesel produced had a high level of purity and complied with the EN 14103 standard.

Abstract

Integrating power meters into the science curriculum can significantly enhance students' understanding of technology and energy usage. Comprehending electricity enables pupils to grasp the operation of these gadgets, fostering practical knowledge and abilities. Teachers can assist students in understanding the financial and environmental consequences of their energy consumption patterns by including them in activities that encourage scientific investigation into the use of electronic devices at home. With more knowledge comes the possibility to make more thoughtful decisions about how much power to use, which might result in increased energy efficiency and financial savings. This is particularly important when it comes to electrical equipment, since improper use habits and increased energy expenses can arise from a lack of technology literacy. This research paper explores the implementation of Taffware Power Meters in the IPSE UPI laboratory to provide students with hands-on experience in measuring and analyzing energy consumption.  The study involves using various LED lamps with different wattages to demonstrate the practical applications of power meters in the classroom. Experimental findings have revealed a direct proportionality between electrical energy and time, while the measured power values of lamps closely match their rated specifications, except when the lamp power exceeds 8 watts, where discrepancies are observed.

Abstract

The vast majority the batik industry produces batik waste containing synthetic dyes that is harmful to the environment. The batik industry is expanding in Indonesia and has an impact on economic growth and socio- cultural development. However, the development of batik industry also increases waste that has a detrimental impact on the environment, resulting in pollution. This also occurred in Tanjung Bumi, one of the centers of the batik industry on the island of Madura, Indonesia. This study aims to find an alternative technology for processing batik waste containing synthetic dyes. The use of activated carbon which is easy to obtain, cheap, simple and effective in decomposing waste is projected to be an alternative, for craftsmen, to process batik waste. The results of the Cr content test showed that there was a decrease in Cr levels in batik wastewater after being given activated carbon; there was a reduction in Cr levels up to 30.83 g/L after giving activated carbon with various concentrations for 21 days. In addition, there was also a significant decrease in the conductivity value of batik waste after being treated with activated carbon. These results indicate that activated carbon can be used as an alternative for batik wastewater treatment. However, to get more optimal results, the use of activated carbon for handling wastewater needs combination with other methods.

Abstract

Food waste is a global problem that has a negative impact on the environment and society as a whole because it endangers food security and the sustainability of the food supply chain in the long term. One of the efforts made to overcome the problem of kitchen waste and food waste is by making ecoenzymes made from the fermentation of organic kitchen waste. Ecoenzymes are naturally produced through the fermentation of fruit and vegetable waste by anaerobic bacteria. Among the components of ecoenzymes is the enzyme catalase, which helps break down excess hydrogen peroxide. One source of catalase is microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. In identifying bacteria in ecoenzymes, molecular testing using the 16S rRNA gene can be employed, as it can determine the specific type of bacteria. The objectives of this study are to determine the number of bacterial isolates producing catalase enzymes in ecoenzymes from food waste and to identify the bacterial species in ecoenzymes from food waste that produce catalase enzymes using the 16S rRNA DNA marker. This study employs an experimental research design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. This study showed that there were three isolates (A, B, and C) that were positive for producing catalase enzymes. Based on molecular testing using the 16S rRNA gene, the three isolates were most closely related to the species B. subtilis. This study demonstrated the presence of catalase enzyme activity in ecoenzymes from food waste and the presence of B. subtilis bacteria, which play a role in disease control in plants.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the science literacy profile of students at SMPN 1 Tanjung Bumi. The research employed a descriptive method with a quantitative approach, allowing the collected data to be processed statistically to objectively illustrate the students' level of science literacy. The subjects of this study consisted of 35 students from class VIII A who were given six science literacy test items with a duration of one lesson hour. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the categories of science literacy proficiency. The results show that most students have a level of science literacy that needs improvement, with 51% categorized as very low, 46% as low, and only 3% as adequate, while none of the students fell into the good or very good categories. Factors contributing to the low science literacy include misconceptions of scientific concepts, poor reading ability, lack of interest in science, and unfamiliarity with long-text and contextual problem types. Based on these findings, strategies are needed to enhance science literacy through the development of innovative learning materials, improvement of reading interest, and habituation to analytical and context-based problem-solving tasks. These findings indicate the need for learning interventions grounded in local context to improve students' science literacy skills. Keywords: scientific literacy, students, junior high school

Abstract

Infectious diseases, caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, continue to represent a significant global health challenge. The immune system plays a pivotal role in recognizing and eliminating these pathogens, but pathogens have evolved various mechanisms to evade immune responses, resulting in chronic infections and disease progression. This review aims to explore the mechanisms of immune responses to infections, focusing on innate and adaptive immune cells, pathogen recognition, and immune evasion strategies. The review also discusses the therapeutic implications of these findings, highlighting potential targets for developing new treatments. The innate immune response, which includes pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs), serves as the first line of defense. In contrast, the adaptive immune response involves T cells and B cells recognizing specific antigens on pathogens. Despite the immune system's defense mechanisms, pathogens can evade immune detection through antigenic variation and suppression of immune functions. Recent research has provided new insights into immune modulation and therapeutic targets, such as enhancing the innate immune response and targeting specific immune cell subsets. Vaccines remain a critical strategy for preventing infectious diseases. Continued advancements in immunology are crucial for developing more effective interventions to control and treat infectious diseases.
