Abstract

Determination of the seismic risk and return period of shallow earthquakes in Cianjur and surrounding areas is very important as a reference in earthquake disaster mitigation programs. Within this return period, structural and non-structural conditions can be prepared in stages that are ready to face disasters if the earthquake recurs. In this study used the least squares statistical method to determine the relationship between frequency and magnitude, level of risk, and earthquake return period. The earthquake data used in this study is sourced from the earthquake catalog of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) spanning 50 years (1973 – 2023). A total of 57 shallow earthquakes that occurred in Cianjur area and its surroundings at coordinates (06°-08°S and 106°-108°E) with magnitude greater or equal to 5.0 at a depth of 0-60 km were used as sample data. Based on the results of data processing and analysis, the return periods are 3.17 to 29.1 years for earthquakes with magnitudes between 5.0 and 6.0, and 29.1 to 267.38 years for earthquakes with magnitudes between 6.0 and 7.0.. Earthquake risk for 10 to 20 years with magnitude greater than 5.0 is 95.74 to 99.82 %, with magnitude greater than 6.0 is 20.09 to 49.70 %, and with magnitude 7.0 is 3.67 to 7.21 %. From the results of processing and analysis of the earthquake data, it shows that the Cianjur area and its surroundings are earthquake-prone areas with a high risk.

Abstract

This research focuses on predicting the value of oil and gas exports in Indonesia, employing a hybrid methodology that combines autoregressive models and a bootstrap approach. Specifically, this research applies the bootstrap-after-bootstrap approach to showcase its effectiveness in improving the accuracy of parameter estimates. Analysis results indicate that the autoregressive model with an order of p=2 minimizes the AIC, BIC, and HQ values, yielding AIC=9.833775, BIC=10.03125, and HQ=9.883440, respectively. Consequently, the AR(2) model emerges as the optimal choice for predicting Indonesia's export value of oil and gas. This research utilizes varying numbers of bootstrap replications (B=100, 250, 500, 1000, and 10000) to assess the impact on prediction intervals. Prediction intervals exhibit less smoothness for B=100 and B=250, whereas B=500 and B=1000 result in a considerably smoother pattern. The highest level of smoothness is achieved for B=10000. The findings underscore that bootstrap-after-bootstrap prediction intervals provide the most accurate and conservative assessment of future uncertainty. Moreover, predictive analysis for the upcoming five periods indicates a projected decline in the export value of oil and gas in Indonesia. Overall, this research demonstrates the efficacy of the bootstrap-after-bootstrap approach in enhancing the precision of predictions and providing robust insights into future uncertainties surrounding Indonesia's oil and gas export market.

Abstract

Kentut leaves (Paederia foetida L.) are a type of medicinal plant that can be used as a preventative medicine against sepsis. This plant contains secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, and other active compounds. This research aims to determine the influence and effective dosage of Kentut leaf extract as a preventive measure against IL-6 expression in the livers of mice in a sepsis model injected with E. coli. The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The study involved 24 white male mice divided into 6 groups. Data analysis was performed using One Way ANOVA. The average values of IL-6 expression in the mouse livers for each group are as follows: KN at 7.09%±0.06; K+ at 26.36%±0.02; K- at 72.60%±0.05; PI (100mg/kgBW) at 71.04%±0.04; PII (300mg/kgBW) at 62.22%±0.02; and PIII (500mg/kgBW) at 40.92%±0.01. The research results indicate that there is an influence of kentut leaf extract as a preventive measure against IL-6 expression in the livers of mice in the sepsis model injected with E. coli, with a significance value of 0.000 or p-value < 0.005. The effective dosage of kentut leaf extract as a preventive measure against IL-6 expression is the PIII dosage of 500mg/kgBW. The anti-inflammatory mechanism in sepsis is thought to be caused by the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic acids, and terpenoid compounds. The most likely anti-inflammatory mechanism is believed to involve flavonoids inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes involved in the synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which can trigger IL-6 production.

Abstract

This study proposes a new theoretical model based on Green's function formalism for studying proton tunneling via hydrogen bonding. This approach allows calculating the tunneling probability and the tunneling energy that proton transfer occurs along a given path inferred a priori. The method is extended to multiple protons tunneling, characterizing the behaviour of some biological molecules. Specifically, the cases of the proton transfer in the Fujicurin A molecule and the double proton tunneling in the Guanine-Cytosine base-pair are investigated. The new approach is an alternative to those present in the literature. It allows straightforwardly predicting the mechanisms of intramolecular and intermolecular proton transfers involving the rearrangement of conjugated electrons.

Abstract

The main source of pollutants is the impact of domestic (household waste), which pile up due to high population levels. The accumulation of domestic waste produces wastewater containing heavy metals, including iron (Fe), which is then absorbed into the ground and flows into rivers. Phytoremediation is a method that can remove, absorb, destroy, and degrade pollutants, including heavy metals, in water. Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle has become a plant known as a good phytoremediator agent. This research aims to determine morphological changes and the effect of phytoremediation Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle will remediate the water of the Kaligarang River with an exposure time of 5 and 10 days. The testing of iron level (Fe) is done using analysis with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The results obtained were that the iron (Fe) content was originally 1.2222 mg/L, decreased as much as 0.9539 mg/L in treatment S1 with an average value of 0.1683 mg/L, and in treatment S2 decreased to 0.3557 mg/L with an average value of 0.766.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of species absorption of Jeffery fluid flow through a saturated permeable medium with variable thermal conductivity. The dimensional partial nonlinear derivative model controlling the chemical reacting fluid flow is transformed to invariant form.  The resulting flow equations are computed numerically using an approximated finite implicit Crack-Nicolson. A chemical absorption of fluid reactant occurs in a boundless vertical device.   Computations are performed for different parameters to examine their sensitivity under isothermal temperature conditions. The computed results are offered graphically for qualitative and quantitative insights into the flow behaviour. The obtained outcomes revealed that the fluid flow rate rises with an increasing values of the parameters and, and it damps with upsurge in the values of the parameters,  and. The heat transfer field is reduced with enhancing values of the thermal source, viscous dissipation and time, but declines for a boosted value of the terms suction and Prandtl number. Also, the mass transfer field is higher when mass absorption and time are increased, and diminish with an elevate in the values of Schmidt number and chemical reactions.

Abstract

Candlenut shells are only used as fuel, and some are thrown away, so their use has not been maximized. Because of their high carbon content, candlenut shells may be used to create adsorbents. This study looks at how different activator concentrations of KOH activators can be used to make adsorbents from candlenut shells. The study will investigate how various activator concentrations affect the ability of adsorbents based on candlenut shells to bind molecules. Furthermore, the investigation will examine the possible uses of these adsorbents in diverse sectors, including air purification and wastewater treatment. This research was carried out using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method, which consisted of 1 activator KOH concentration of 0.5 M, 1 M, 1.5 M, 2 M, and 2.5 M with 3 replications each. The finding demonstrated that adsorbent products activated with 0.5 M KOH yield the highest quality and satisfied SNI 06-3770-1995 requirements for an ash and water content of 10.21% and 0.98%, respectively. The adsorbent product has an iodine absorption capacity of approximately 639.39 mg/g, comparable to SNI 06-3770-1995. For iron metal, the adsorbent product exhibits an adsorption capacity and absorption efficiency of 0.14 mg/g and 98.30%, respectively. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm model is suitable for this investigation, with a Kf value of 0.14 mg/g and an R2 of 0.9999.

Abstract

Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle) is known to have a strong antioxidant compound. Thus, the calyx becomes the most important area to research. Another part of this plant that was starting to be known for its benefits is rosella seeds. Roselle seeds are a source of fat-soluble antioxidants. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of Roselle Seed Ethanol Extract (RSEE) with the DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2 Picrylhidrazyl) radical scavenging method. This research begins by doing the extraction of Roselle seeds using ethanol (96%) as a solvent and then assessing the antioxidant activity (Radical Scavenging Activity/RSA) of the extract, which is compared with the ascorbic acid standard at several concentrations (5-200 ppm). Antioxidant activity was assessed with DPPH Radical Scavenging using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and IC50 value parameters. The results of this study were the absorbance of DPPH from spectrophotometer at 517 nm was 0,824 (purple color). The absorbance of RSEE and ascorbic acid at 5 ppm to 200 ppm, respectively 0.523-0.124 and 0.594-0.112. The antioxidant activity (RSA) of the RSEE and ascorbic acid, respectively was  57.93% and 59.24%. The IC50 value of RSEE was 30.158 μg/ml and as comparison is ascorbic acid, the IC50 value was 26.948 μg/ml. Thus, the antioxidant activity of roselle seeds ethanol extract (RSEE) belongs to a very strong category (<50 μg /ml). This is due to the presence of several phenolic compounds and unsaturated fatty acid derivatives.
