Embankment construction is generally carried out using borrow materials. The water content of embankment material significantly affects the compaction quality. Measuring water content in the field typically uses a speedy moisture test (SMT) because the process is simple, and the result is obtained immediately. The accuracy level of the SMT is relatively high. However, it still needs to be corrected using a calibration chart for a more precise measurement. This research aims to determine the accuracy of the SMT tool compared to the standard oven-dry method, especially on borrow materials in East Java. The experimental method was used with soil samples from Pasuruan and Mojokerto borrow. Standard index properties tests and soil compaction tests were conducted to determine soil type and obtain optimum water content. The water content varies in several levels and is measured using SMT and oven-dry methods. The regression was performed to make a correlation, while RMSE and simple paired T-test were conducted to investigate the accuracy level of the correlation chart from this research, respectively. It was found that the soil samples used met the requirements as embankment soil (SW and SM). The proposed calibration chart is presented with the SMT-corrected water content equation (WSMT-corrected = 0.9815WSMT – 1.4323 ). This equation has a coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 0.95, which mean a very strong relationship. The proposed calibration chart performs well according to RMSE, which is equal to 2.41 and paired T-test result. This proposed calibration chart can be widely used in road embankment practice in Indonesia.

Abstract Rectangular wave-shaped surface-relief plasmonic gratings (RSR-PGs) have been fabricated from a hybrid polymer by employing a simple nanoimprint photocuring lithography technique using a silicon template, followed by gold nanolayer metallization on top of the formed replica structure. By forming a one-dimensional (1D) plasmonic grating with a periodicity of approximately 700 nm, a reflectance spectral dip was experimentally observed in the visible light region, from 600 to 700 nm, with increasing incident angle from 45° to 60°. This dip can be associated with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wave excitation, which is coupled with the diffraction order m = − 2. The calculations of reflectance spectra simulation using the rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method have also been carried out, resulting in the appearance of an SPR dip in the range of 600–700 nm, for incident angles in the range of 45°–65°, which agrees with the experimental results. Interestingly, these RSR-PGs show richer plasmon characteristics than the sine-wave-shaped plasmonic gratings. The experimental and spectral simulation results revealed two different plasmonic excitation modes: long-range SPR and quasi-localized SPR (LSPR). While the long-range SPR was formed above the ridge sections along the grating structure surface, the quasi-localized SPR was locally formed inside the groove. In addition, for RSR-PGs with a narrow groove section, the long-range SPR seems to be coupled with the periodic structure of the grating, resulting in the appearance of plasmonic lattice surface resonance (LSR) that is indicated by a narrower plasmon resonance dip. These characteristics are quite different from those found in the sine wave-shaped plasmonic gratings. The present results may thus provide better insights for understanding the plasmon excitations in this type of rectangular plasmonic grating and might be useful for designing their structure for certain practical applications.

Broiler chicken farm waste is in the form of spilled water and mixed feed and chicken manure which causes an unpleasant odor. These odors are called ammonia gas (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), dimentyl sulfide, carbon disulfide and mercaptans. In broiler chicken coops the temperature and humidity needed to warm the chickens are around 25 – 29 °C and the required humidity is around 50-70%. To solve this problem, an odor control system is needed while maintaining the temperature and humidity of the coops. This research produces an automatic system to control chicken coop odors and maintain temperature and humidity. The experimental method in this study is to simulate the system on a miniature cage with a scale of 1: 8 and send data to thingspeak in real time. Changes in the temperature of the chicken coop in the morning and evening are directly proportional to the ammonia levels, but not during the day. However, ammonia levels increase during the day. Bamboo charcoal effectively neutralizes chicken coop odors by reducing the level of ammonia gas to 1 ppm in an average of 0.83 seconds. The results of this study have implications in the fields of automatic control and the Internet of Things (IoT).

In 2021, Indonesia’s banana production is expected to reach 8.74 million tons. This substantial volume of bananas will generate a notable quantity of banana peel waste, constituting approximately one-third of the total banana fruit mass. Remarkably, banana peel waste retains 18.5% carbohydrates, which can be effectively converted into glucose, serving as a valuable feedstock for ethanol production. This research is focused on the ethanol production derived from Tanduk banana peel waste, employing a comparative analysis of the Separated Hydrolysis Fermentation (SHF) and Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) techniques. Additionally, it explored varying raw material concentrations, specifically 200, 250, and 300 g/L. The SSF method integrated the use of cellulase enzymes, while the SHF method relied on HCl for the hydrolysis process. Microbial fermentation was facilitated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with a fermentation duration of 96 hours and sample collection at 12-hour intervals. The results demonstrated that higher concentrations of banana peel waste yield increased glucose production during the hydrolysis process, consequently leading to greater ethanol produced. The concentration of 300 g/L banana peel waste is optimal for producing ethanol in both procedures. However, the SHF approach demonstrates a superior ethanol concentration of 51%, surpassing the 33.7% achieved by the SSF method.

Constructing student's scientific literacy is still a challenge for the developing country. PISA 2015 report on scientific literacy showed that Indonesia was positioned at 62th out of 70 countries. According to this result, the students are only able to explain the simple science phenomenon because some learning activities have not followed good scientific inquiry as a fundamental aspect of the nature of science. To overcome the problem, PISA 2015 stated that teachers are suggested to design well-structured laboratory activities that make actual scientific concepts and ideas, and help students make the connection among the hands-on activities, scientific ideas and real-life problems. Moreover, the student's conception of the nature of scientific knowledge is required to help a student become a scientifically literate person. This work aims to construct science knowledge and contextual problems to support students' conception of the nature of science. In the case of the physics subject, eight new heat and temperature experiment designs are proposed to construct students' scientific literacy in high schools. The aspects of scientific literacy on experiment designs are developed based on PISA 2015 frameworks.

A sedimentological, biostratigraphic, and petrographical investigation was conducted on exposed sedimentary rocks in the Seulimeum Formation in the Northwest Aceh Basin, Sumatra. Sedimentary facies analysis suggests a deep-marine depositional environment consists of an inner fan, middle fan, and outer fan to basin plain deposits. New foraminiferal data designated a late Miocene to early Pleistocene age for the studied rock unit, equivalent to N17 to N21 zone, with paleobathymetry in the bathyal environment. Petrographically, the sandstone of the Seulimeum Formation is included as subarkose, sublithic arenite, and lithic arenite, or classified as litho-quartzose, feldspatho-litho-quartzose, and litho-feldspatho-quartzose. Provenance analysis suggests that the origin of the sandstones is from the arc orogen sources. Furthermore, it is concluded that the development of the GSF zone in the late Neogene controls the formation of the deep-marine depositional setting. The west-south-west part of the fault is the footwall part (the Barisan Mountains), as the main high area of sedimentary source material consisting dominantly of the Woyla Group, with some contributions from Bentaro volcanic and Paleogene to early Neogene sediments. Our findings also suggest that the beginning of the Great Sumatran Fault, which corresponds with the uplift of the Barisan Mountains in the northern part of Sumatra, took place in the late Miocene, between 8.6 and 5.9 Ma.

A limited literature on mixed method research to reveal the effect of blended learning in physical education turn out to be a gap in this research. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the perceptions of teachers about the effects, effectiveness, and challenges of blended learning in physical education classes through mixed-methods research. This study adopted a mixed-methods type with a mixed methods research. There were 12 participants involved in this study, which included elementary school teachers (n=4) and high school teachers (n=4) from Indonesia and elementary school teachers (n=2) and high school teachers (n=2) from Malaysia. The qualitative instrument included in-depth interviews. While, the quantitative instrument used a questionnaire. The qualitative study used statistical analysis with qualitative thematic methods. Meanwhile, in the quantitative study, all responses from 12 analyses were to find the frequency and percentage values of each response. Based on the results of the qualitative study, the majority of teachers perceived that blended learning in physical education classes had a significant effect on the development of students' domains and it was effective to implement physical education learning in elementary schools and high schools. While, results of quantitative study show that the biggest challenges due to the implementation of blended learning in physical education were the lack of technological facilities (86.2%), lack of understanding of teachers and students (72.7%), poor internet connection (64.8%), and limited learning duration in offline classes (50.0%). Therefore, the results of this study are essential and must be evaluated continuously, so that the physical education learning process through blended learning in a sustainable manner can have a positive effect on students at all levels of education in Indonesia and Malaysia or other countries in the world.

Early information exchange regarding predicted crop production could play a role in lowering the danger of food insecurity. In this study total six multivariate models were developed using past time series yield data and weather indices viz. SMLR, PCA-SMLR, ANN, PCA-ANN, SMLR-ANN and PCA-SMLR-ANN for three major soybean producing districts of Uttarakhand viz. Almora, Udham Singh Nagar and Uttarkashi. Further analysis was done by fixing 80% of the data for calibration and the remaining dataset for validation to predict soybean yield. Phenology wise average values were computed using the daily weather data. These average values are subsequently employed in the computation of both weighted and unweighted weather indices. The PCA-SMLR-ANN, SMLR-ANN and PCA-ANN models were found to be the best soybean yield predictor model for Almora, Udham Singh Nagar and Uttarkashi districts, respectively. The overall ranking based on the performances of the models for all locations can be given as: SMLR-ANN > PCA-ANN > PCA-SMLR-ANN ≈ ANN > PCA-SMLR > SMLR. The study results indicated that hybrid models outperformed the individual models well for all the study regions.

Foot exercise training can increase participants' knowledge and can be used as a way to control blood glucose during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Philosophical viewpoints from the first-hand source regarded as the best inception of COVID-19 knowledge are not widely explored. Humanity’s understanding grounded on experiences becomes substantial only when stringent documentation of any events is performed carefully. COVID-19 as a phenomenon and as an ongoing struggle has myriad global impacts; hence the study aims to explore the understanding of nursing students’ stances regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in their daily life. Methods: The study used a qualitative study design with online survey. A total of 41 nursing students were recruited through total sampling technique. The study was conducted to students in a university in the Philippines. Interview guidelines used open questions and were spread online. The data were subjected to thematic analysis. Results: The thematic analysis revealed five organizing themes, such as communication, commitment, care, collaboration, and change. Those themes were found among nursing students’ stance regarding the COVID-19 phenomenon. Conclusions: The communication, commitment, care, collaboration, and change as development of a crisis-induced framework from study findings satisfies the essential finding that the pandemic is likewise giving rise to a new normal. Moreover, the results assist nursing students and other health-inspired domains to effectively maintain positivity amidst catastrophic climates.

The manufacturing sector consumes most of the global energy and had been in focus since the outbreak of the energy crisis. One of the proposed strategies to overcome this problem is to implement appropriate scheduling, such as Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling. Therefore, this study aims to create a Hybrid Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (HAOA) for solving the Energy-Efficient Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling Problem (EEHFSP). It is hoped that this helps to provide new insights into advanced HAOA methods for resolving the EEHFSP as the algorithm has the potential to be a more efficient alternative. In this study, three stages of EEHFSP were considered in the problem as well as a sequence-dependent setup and removal times in the second stage. Experiments with three population variations and iterations were presented for testing the effect of HAOA parameters on energy consumption. Furthermore, ten job variations are also presented to evaluate the performance of the HAOA algorithm and the results showed that HAOA iteration and the population did not affect the removal and processing of energy consumption, but impacted that of setup and idle. The comparison of these ten cases revealed that the proposed HAOA produced the best total energy consumption (TEC) when compared to the other algorithms.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to determine how the science process and critical thinking skills of VII grade junior high school students were carried out through practicum activities. Methodology: This type of research is qualitative research. The data collection technique used in this research is the interview instrument. The informants in this study came from Batanghari 2 Junior High School, Batanghari 8 Junior High School, and Batanghari 25 Junior High School, with the sample informants being 3 teachers and 6 students. Data analysis techniques use the Miles and Huberman methods. Main Findings: The results of this study are that science teachers in the three schools have implemented practicum activities, and there has been an assessment of science process skills in practicum activities. Students have been trained and assessed for their science process skills and critical thinking skills but have not been trained optimally. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is to analyze practicum activities in improving science process skills and critical thinking skills in three direct schools. Suggestions for further research are finding learning innovations or selecting learning models to improve students' science process skills and critical thinking abilities to make them even better.

Writing history (historiography) of modern Indonesia begins with the desire of historians to implement historical methodology with new patterns in accordance with Indonesia centric. This was due to the fact that the writing style of previous Indonesian history was still heavily oriented towards the Dutch East Indies centric, so there was a need for downward socialization, especially to MGMP SMA/MA teachers in Kediri City. Historiography Writing Assistance at the Surowono Temple Site aims to: (1) improve teachers' skills in good historical writing (historiography) in accordance with the principles of History; (2) increasing teacher expertise in developing local history teaching with the study object of Surowono Temple. The implementation method in this community service activity is the training method, which has several stages starting from design, implementation (lectures, discussions, demonstrations), and evaluation. Participants acquire new skills, especially in historical writing based on the local history of Kediri, namely the Surowono Temple. Participants can read the temple reliefs with a semiotic approach, by comparing them with previous reliefs and making conclusions. Based on the mentoring activities carried out, from 22 MGMP History SMA/MA teachers in Kediri City, it was found that 18 teachers were very satisfied with this activity and were able to complete the task well. The four teachers experienced difficulties in accessing digital resources, so it can be concluded that this mentoring activity was successful.

ABSTRAK Sumber energi listrik PLN merupakan sumber utama bagi masyarakat. Namun kenyataan saat ini PLN masih belum maksimal dalam menyalurkan energi seperti dapat terjadi pemadaman, dan fluktuasi tegangan yang merupakan gangguan tegangan AC. Gangguan tegangan sendiri dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada beban rumah tangga. Oleh karena itu, dalam jurnal ini membuat suatu inovasi dengan memanfaatkan sumber dari Baterai yang berfungsi untuk membackup ketika sumber PLN mengalami pemadaman dan gangguan. Dengan mengembangkan sistem yaitu automatic transfer switch (ATS) yang dapat membuat beban dalam kondisi aman dan mendapatkan aliran energi dari sumber cadangan. Sistem ini bekerja dengan mendeteksi 6 gangguan tegangan AC dengan metode fuzzy logic. Gangguan tersebut antara lain Interruption, Sag, Swell, Sustained Interruption, Undervoltage, dan Overvoltage. Dan sistem ATS bekerja saat jenis gangguan Durasi Panjang yaitu Sustained Interruption, Undervoltage, dan Overvoltage. Sistem automatic transfer switch ini mampu melakukan perpindahan sumber dalam waktu 5ms. Kata kunci: Automatic Transfer switch, Fuzzy Logic, Gangguan AC, PLN  ABSTRACT The primary source of electricity is PLN. However, the current situation shows that PLN is still not doing its best to distribute energy, as seen by blackouts and voltage fluctuations, which are disturbances of the AC voltage. Household loads can damaged by voltage disruptions. As a result, an innovation is made in this journal by utilizing the battery source, which serves as a backup when the PLN source encounters a blackout and other disruption. By developing a system, namely an automated transfer switch (ATS), that can maintain loads in a safe condition and allow energy to flow from backup sources The fuzzy logic method is used to identify six AC voltage disturbances in this system. There are six of AC voltage disturbances: interruption, sag, swell, sustained interruption, undervoltage, and overvoltage. The ATS system functions when there is a long duration disturbance, such as a sustained interruption, undervoltage, or overvoltage. This automatic transfer switch system has a switching time of 5 milliseconds. Keywords: Automatic Transfer switch, Fuzzy Logic, Voltage Disruption, PLN

Pregnancy in adolescents can cause serious conditions such as physical and psychological conditions. Pregnancy among adolescents in low, middle, and high income countries is a problem that occurs globally. According to Who data (2012). There are around 16 million adolescents aged 15-19 giving birth each year. Meanwhile, in low income countries there are around 14% of pregnancies out of wedlock. Pregnancy is associated with significant risk to women’s mental health, one of which is the psychological condition of the expectant mother. The minimum age for a women to get married should be 21-22 years because she is considered physically and mentally capable. Adolescent who are pregnant less than the productive age of years will have an impact on their mental conditions such as anxiety, stress and depression. This study aims to find out more about the psychological impact on teenage pregnancy with existing studies by reviewing several research articles. The research design used a literature review with sources from computerized systematic search studies (Google Scholar and Pubmed) with the last 10 years recorder from 2014-2023. There were 60 articles obtained and after conducting a proper review of the title, there were 23 with 19 national articles and 4 international articles. The criteria for finding the key to searching the literature review are “mental health” and “adolescent pregnancy”
