Abstract

Based on the Semarang City Regulation No.5 of 2004 concerning the Semarang City Spatial Plan 2000-2010 Article 11, Gayamsari Sub-district is included in BWK V, which is an area with the center of trade, office, and residential activities that contribute greatly to the increase in waste generation in Semarang City every year. The existence of this waste problem requires a study in the form of an identification study related to waste generation consisting of characteristics, volume, and composition of waste visualized through spatial modeling. In this study, waste generation was measured in 30 sample shops in the trade and service area of Gayamsari Subdistrict, then the analysis used was Descriptive Statistical analysis, GIS analysis, and Moran's I analysis. The research results generated from the implementation of this research are waste generation data in the form of total weight of waste generation, weight per type of waste, average weight of waste, and type of waste composition, through spatial analysis resulting in mapping the location of sample stores, the level of waste, and the range of neighborhoods around the store, and through Moran's I analysis resulting in the identification of spatial autocorrelation between sample stores, the form of spatial patterns, and hotspot maps of waste generation distribution. The resulting research results are used to draw conclusions on the application of the non-residential urban area waste measurement method in SNI 19-3964-1994.

Abstract

A sliding plane is a layer below the surface that is impermeable. The sliding plane becomes a place where the soil mass experiences movement so that the weathered layer above it experiences landslides following the slope. Payan Hamlet, located in Punten Village, Batu City, which is the research area, is included in a landslide-prone village as evidenced by the recapitulation of BPBD disaster data for Batu City during 2022, 6 landslides occurred. The geoelectric method used in this study is the Wenner configuration. It was used to identify the subsurface condition and interpret the slide plane and direction of the landslide. There are 5 trajectories in this study with 5 m electrode spacing. Based on the results of 2D data processing, the distribution of resistivity values in the research area is diverse. The resistivity value is divided into 3 (three) categories. The low resistivity category with a value of 13 - 51 Ωm is interpreted as a clay layer, the medium resistivity category with a value of 70 - 100 Ωm is interpreted as a tuff layer, and the high resistivity category with a value of 100 - 200 Ωm is interpreted as volcanic breccia. The interpretation of the layer that becomes the sliding field in the research area is the tuff layer with a depth of ± 3.8 - 4m. Based on the results of 2D data processing and calculation of the degree of slope, it can be analysed that the direction of the landslide leads to the southeast side of the research area. Installation of evacuation route signs around the research area is considered as a disaster mitigation effort that can be done

Abstract

Illegal mining, better known as illegal mining, is a complex multidimensional problem. This study uses a phenomenological lens to explore the deep meaning of the experiences of illegal mining actors in the Merangin Regency, Jambi. The findings of this study consistently show that severe economic pressures, combined with limited access to education and job opportunities, are the main drivers of community involvement in illegal mining activities. Informants explicitly stated that they knew their actions' legal and environmental implications but felt trapped in a difficult situation. By adopting a quantum physics lens, this study emphasizes that individuals, like subatomic particles, are often in a state of superposition between various choices, trapped in moral and economic dilemmas. This approach offers an innovative analytical framework for understanding the complexity of contemporary social problems. To overcome this problem, comprehensive efforts involve expanding economic opportunities, developing community capacity, and enforcing fair and community-friendly laws. Overall, this study highlights the importance of understanding the social and economic contexts that underlie community involvement in illegal mining activities. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach combining qualitative methods and quantum physics concepts, this study significantly contributes to developing more effective policies and intervention programs in addressing this problem.

Abstract

Bantur District in Malang Regency is an area that is vulnerable to drought disasters. A geoelectrical resistivity survey has been conducted in Sumber Waluh Hamlet, Pringgodani Village, Bantur District, Malang Regency as an effort to mitigate drought disasters. This study aims to identify the distribution of aquifer layers based on the results of subsurface resistivity modeling. The identified aquifer layers can be used as a solution to the problem of drought disasters. In this study, geoelectrical resistivity measurements used the VES technique, i.e. the Schlumberger configuration, which was carried out at seven points. Analysis of the modeling results showed the existence of a shallow aquifer layer with a depth of 8-20 meters and a deep aquifer with a depth range of 50-70 meters. The aquifer layer has a resistivity value between 0.51-31.36 Ωm which is interpreted as a tuffaceous sandstone layer. In hydrogeological modeling, it is interpreted that the position of the groundwater level is at a depth of 40-50 meters. Thus, the results of this study can be used as a recommendation for drilling points to find new water sources in the research area.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women. Early detection helps prevent the spread of cancer to other organs, thereby reducing serious risks. This characterization aims to determine the potential of the TF Mini Lidar sensor if used as an early detection tool for breast cancer. Basically, this characterization uses a data-based approach. The method used in this study is to position the TFmini and HC-SR04 sensors in a fixed and stable position, after which the reflective object is positioned at a predetermined distance according to the distance to be used when detecting breast cancer, which is at a distance of 51-100 cm. PLX daq version 2.11 was used to facilitate data collection. The characterization of this sensor is based on the standard deviation, relative standard deviation, error and accuracy. This study concludes that the TFmini lidar sensor has a high potential to be used in breast cancer detection devices as a contour detector. This is in accordance with the measurement accuracy value of the tfmini sensor of 99.87%. However, additional sensors, such as cameras, are needed to obtain better contours and visual images.

Abstract

Rain occurs after passing through several stages of the process, which becomes a repetitive cycle; the stages passed are evaporation (evaporation), condensation, and precipitation. Clouds are an element that becomes a factor that affects weather changes, and their shape can change depending on the type. The type of cloud that can cause bad weather is the Cumulonimbus cloud. This research aims to review the volume of rainfall in the Serang Regency area, which can be used as material to predict the steps that must be taken to prevent an event. This research uses data from the Geospatial Information Agency and CHIRPS, which is then processed in ArcGIS 10.8 software. And also based on previous research literature. The data obtained is then analyzed in the ArcGIS application by overlaying one data with other data to find the areas that experience high rainfall. It was found that the average high rain occurred in the western region of Serang Regency.

Abstract

Shoreline change is a phenomenon that occurs due to land erosion or abrasion. This study aims to measure and analyze shoreline changes and determine rock stratigraphy based on the value of secondary wave propagation velocity (Vs) in the Northern Bengkulu Province. The research was conducted at 52 points along the coast with three main stages, namely seismic data acquisition in the field, dispersion analysis, and dispersion curve inversion. Observation of shoreline changes was conducted using quantitative methods with a geophysical approach, utilizing satellite data from Google Earth Pro. Meanwhile, stratigraphic acquisition was performed using the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method. The results showed that the soil layers in the Northern Bengkulu Province area include alluvium and poor consistency, soft layers. The second to fourth layer contains a medium-dense soil layer of coarse and fine-grain soil. The fifth layer comprises a soft rock layer consisting of coarse-grain and fine-grain soils. The Vs30 values obtained range from 115 m/s to 576 m/s, indicating that the Northern part Bengkulu Province area is dominated by Site Class SC (hard, highly compacted soil and soft rock) vulnerable to deformation, including abrasion. The research results obtained in the form of Vs30 values of 115 m/s to 576m/s are dominated by three rock formations: bintunan formation, lake deposits and andesite. Stratigraphic data and Vs30 values can be used for coastal infrastructure development, such as sea walls, breakwaters, and other protection structures to reduce abrasion.

Abstract

Refillable drinking water was chosen as an alternative to bottled drinking water because the price is cheaper. Drinking water has benefits for the body, but if the levels of heavy metals contained exceed the Ministry of Health's standards, it will have a negative impact on body health. This research was conducted with the aim of determining the quality of refillable drinking water in terms of heavy metal levels. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to test the levels of heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Cd, and Hg) in the samples. Research data shows that refill drinking water samples A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 contain heavy metals at levels that exceed the Ministry of Health's standards. PC1 and PC2 have the highest eigenvalues, with a proportion of PC1 of 60.86% and PC2 of 22.69%. The two PCs have a cumulative proportion of 83.55% and are considered capable of representing the entire data. PCA method was used to identify patterns and group samples based on heavy metal content, with PC1 and PC2 reflecting 83.55% of the data variability. Pb and Cd are the variables that have the longest resultant lines, which shows that these two variables have a large contribution to the formation of new variables. The three secondary data samples, namely A6, A7, and A8, are control samples because their quality is good. Refill drinking water samples that are almost close to control are samples A1, A4, and A5, while samples A2 and A3 are far from control. The further the sample is from the control, the lower the quality. The results of this study highlight the need for strict supervision of refillable drinking water depots and the implementation of more effective purification methods to reduce heavy metal content exceeding health standards.
