The role of mesoporous solid acid aluminosilicate in the oleic acid deoxygenation was elucidated using ZSM-5 and Al-MCM-41 impregnated with Ni. The mesoporous supports were synthesized using a similar initial Si/Al ratio but employing different templates to vary the mesopores. ZSM-5_T produced interparticle mesopores when using TPAOH (tetrapropylammonium hydroxide) as a template. Meanwhile, ZSM-5_S with a well-defined intraparticle mesoporous channel was formed using a silicalite template. Al-MCM-41 synthesized without a template produced one-dimensional highly ordered mesoporous channels. The arrangement of mesoporosity in aluminosilicate determined the mechanistic pathway of oleic acid conversion into hydrocarbon. Oleic acid underwent primary thermal cracking into carboxylic acid before progressing into the subsequent decarbonylation reaction. The diesel hydrocarbon yield was enhanced following the order of Al-MCM-41>ZSM-5_S>ZSM-5_T>blank reaction. Large intraparticle mesoporosity produced long-chain carboxylic acid from catalytic cracking of oleic acid, which was subsequently deoxygenated into long-chain hydrocarbons.

Recent research has reported on the extraction and synthesis of silica gels from a waste glass of chemicals. This study aims to optimize silica gel synthesized from chemical glass waste as heavy metal adsorbent Cu2+. Silica gel adsorbent has been successfully synthesized by reacting silica from chemical glass waste and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) by a fusion reaction and sol–gel process. Synthesized silica gel has an amorphous diffractogram at 2θ 20–30°, a purity of 75.63 %, a surface area of 297.08 m2/g, and a pore radius of 15.74 nm. The adsorption formulation was optimized using Design Box–Behnken and optimum conditions were obtained at adsorbent doses close to 3.5 g, initial concentration 50–100 ppm, contact time 10 min, and pH 9. Adsorption Isotherm Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Raduskevich were investigated to determine the mechanism of adsorption. Adsorption data show that the adsorption is well-fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The results of SEM–EDX characterization showed that the surface morphology of silica gel showed a spherical and irregular surface then after adsorption cu metal was distributed on the surface of the silica gel. Based on all the results of the study it can be indicated that silica gel synthesized from chemical glass bottle waste can be applied as adsorbent Cu2+.

The anti-corrosive properties of Gambir extract on SS-316 stainless steel were studied. It was found that the addition of Gambir extract in the HCl solution decreased the SS-316 average corrosion current density (I_corr) compared to the blank solution. The response surface methodology plot showed that I_corr increased with increasing HCl concentration and contact time, but decreased with higher concentrations of Gambir extract, indicating its effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion even under harsher conditions. Surface characterization confirmed the formation of this protective layer, while FTIR analysis identified the main functional groups involved in the metal-inhibitor interaction.

The catalytic conversion of Reutealis trisperma oil was carried out over a Al-MCM-41 based catalyst with different Si/Al ratio with no added hydrogen to examine the possibility of the direct production of hydrocarbons in the ranges of jet fuel. In a semi-batch reactor, RTO was combined with 3 % catalyst and heated to 350 °C for 4h. The blank reaction shows the lowest conversion and liquid yield, with values of 39.65 % and 8.74 %, respectively. In contrast, the highest conversion was achieved using the Al-MCM-41 (30) catalyst, and the conversion decreases as the Si/Al ratio of the Al-MCM-41 catalyst increases. Indeed, the mesoporous structure enabled extensive bio-oil diffusion and adsorption, further increasing catalytic conversion. The Al-MCM-41 (30) shows the great performance in catalytic conversion of RTO to hydrocarbon and aromatic chain hydrocarbon. The Al-MCM-41 (30) catalyst resulted in a composition of 41.26 % paraffin, 6.78 % olefin, 21.77 % arenes, and 11.44 % cycloparaffin. This composition is comparable to JP-8 and Jet-A fuels, satisfying the ASTM D7566 standard for aircraft turbine fuel containing synthetic hydrocarbons. The acid site and pore size on the support material influenced the interaction of bio-oil molecules and catalyst which increasing the rate of reactant/product diffusion and improve the jet-fuel production. The obtained results are promising for the use of non-edible RTO and kaolin-derived catalysts in the production of sustainable alternative jet fuels. This approach offers competitive costs and significant environmental and social benefits.

Autonomous electric vehicles (EVs) need to recognize the surrounding environment through mapping. The mapping provides directions for driving in new locations and uncharted areas. However, few studies have discussed the mapping of unknown outdoor areas using light detection and ranging (LiDAR) with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). LiDAR can reduce the limitations of GPS, which cannot track the current location, and it covers a limited area. Hence, this study used the Hector SLAM algorithm, which maps based on the data generated by LiDAR sensors. This study was conducted at the Universitas Sriwijaya using two routes: the Palembang and Inderalaya campuses. A comparison is made with the map on Google Maps to determine the accuracy of the algorithm. The route of the Palembang campus was divided into four points: A-B-C-D; route AB exhibits the highest accuracy of 85.7%. In contrast, the route of the Inderalaya campus was established by adding routes with buildings closer to the road. A marker point was allocated on the route: A-B-C-D-E; route CE exhibits the highest accuracy of 83.6%. Overall, this study shows that the Hector SLAM algorithm and LiDAR can be used to map the unknown environment of autonomous EVs.

Threats to Ukraine include Russian military power, economic coercion, and political interference, which limit Ukraine's ability to achieve its objectives and make it vulnerable to regional pressures. This paper examines Ukraine's strategic position in the conflict, considering geopolitical dynamics, military capabilities, and historical context, highlighting the strategic management approach through the SWOT framework.

In this study, the anionic and cationic gels were synthesized separately using copolymerization between N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and acrylic acid or chitosan through a polymerization reaction using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA) as a cross-linker with various monomer concentrations and synthesis temperature. The anionic and cationic gels were blended to minimize inter-intra particle association and to improve the adsorption ability. The FTIR analysis found that the synthesis of the NIPAM-co-acrylic acid and NIPAM-co-chitosan gels was successfully carried out, indicating no presence of a vinyl group in the functional group. The result showed that the ion adsorption amount of Pb2+ ions blending gels increased significantly, almost twice compared to the adsorption before blending. The adsorption amount of Pb2+ ions increased with increasing the gel synthesis temperature. The adsorption amount follows the order of Pb2+ > Fe2+ > Ni2+. The adsorption amount of Pb2+ tends to decrease with increasing sedimentation volume. The higher the synthesis temperature, the larger the porous diameter formed. These results demonstrate that blending gel of NIPAM-co-chitosan and NIPAM-co-acrylic acid is a feasible alternative for removing heavy metal ions owing to its good adsorption performance.

Industrial activities generate a significant problem in the form of dye waste, which contributes to environmental pollution, particularly water pollution. Improper disposal of untreated dye waste can lead to detrimental effects on ecosystems, the environment, and living organisms. To mitigate these issues, various methods such as biological treatment, chemical oxidation, flocculation-coagulation, and adsorption are employed to remove or reduce dye and other pollutants from wastewater. Among these methods, adsorption has proven to be a cost-effective and straightforward approach for the removal of pollutants, particularly dye waste, from water. While activated carbon is commonly used as an adsorbent in the industry, it has drawbacks such as high cost and difficulty in regeneration, especially in the form of powdered activated carbon. Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) is a specific dye extensively utilized in the textile industry. It belongs to the category of reactive dyes that are challenging to degrade and pose toxicity risks to aquatic ecosystems. The use of bio-adsorbents in dye removal offers advantages such as low cost, easy availability and production, as well as the ability to be regenerated. When utilizing activated carbon derived from bio-materials, RBBR removal rates of 88.51% have been achieved. The agricultural waste powder as an adsorbent yields a removal rate of 90.82%, while non-conventional bio-adsorbents exhibit a removal rate of 90.50%. This review aims to compile information on bio-adsorbents and their effectiveness in adsorbing RBBR, shedding light on their potential for addressing dye waste pollution.

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) is a powerful tool for investigating the correlation between the chemical and biological properties of molecules. It employs mathematical and statistical modeling techniques that focus on molecular descriptors, which represent various characteristics of the molecules. However, the extensive use of descriptors in QSAR modeling introduces complexities in data analysis and computation. To address these challenges, data preprocessing techniques, such as data reduction and feature selection, are critical for directing the inputs of statistical models. Feature selection plays a crucial role in improving the accuracy and efficiency of machine learning algorithms by identifying relevant features that significantly influence the target response. In this study, a comprehensive comparison of preprocessing methods in QSAR modeling is carried out. The methods under investigation include filtering through Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) and wrapping methods such as Forward Selection (FS), Backward Elimination (BE), and Stepwise Selection (SS). To evaluate the effectiveness of these preprocessing methods, both linear regression and nonlinear regression models were utilized. The research findings reveal the usefulness of feature selection methods in reducing the number of descriptors required for the accurate assessment of anti-cathepsin activity. Remarkably, the FS, BE, and SS methods, particularly when coupled with nonlinear regression models, exhibit promising performance relating to R-squared scores. This research emphasizes the significance of data preprocessing, particularly feature selection, in QSAR modeling. The comparative analysis of different preprocessing methods provides a valuable understanding of their effectiveness in reducing descriptor complexity and improving model performance. These findings contribute to the improvement of QSAR modeling techniques, supporting accurate predictions of anti-cathepsin activity and enabling the exploration of structure-activity relationships in drug discovery and design.

The utilization of blockchain technology in the fishing industry has been extensively studied and implemented to address issues such as illegal fishing and carbon emissions control. However, integrating blockchain with the vast amounts of data in the fishing supply chain poses significant challenges. Challenges include managing extensive data such as photos or videos for product traceability throughout their lifecycle, compounded by the growing complexity of cross-border trade and market expansion. Additionally, blockchain's storage capacity limitations present hurdles in fully accommodating and comprehensively storing detailed supply data from a complex and expanding supply chain.While solutions like the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) have been explored for large data storage on the blockchain, this paper proposes a directly integrated blockchain solution tailored for the challenges of fishing with big data. We introduce a novel big data design that preserves blockchain's anonymity and immutability features, addressing storage limitations while maintaining the architecture's purpose. Furthermore, our proposal integrates product supply chain traceability with carbon footprint tracking, enabling comprehensive assessment based on quality, sustainability, and carbon footprint criteria.Despite the proposed solution needing to be tested in real-life situations, we conducted rigorous testing through simulation, white-box evaluation, and complexity analysis. The results demonstrate the potential of our solution to address challenges faced in fisheries supply chains, providing valuable insights for future practical implementation and validation efforts.

The technical challenge in constructing the electron source (ES) lies in the joining of metal and ceramic tubes. Furthermore, there is a lack of available technical comparison data for the output performance between the diode and triode ES under the same experimental conditions. The research aim is to describe a simple technique for constructing the diode and triode ES for an electron beam machine (EBM) of 300 keV/20 mA, and to investigate their output characteristics. The method used is to make a flange for mounting the Tungsten filament, Pierce electrodes, and heat shield. Two or three electrodes of the NEC (National Electric Corporation) accelerator tube are removed before the flange is united into the NEC tube, becoming the ES. The ES‘s are investigated in terms of their electron beam profiles and beam current output for the variation of the extraction electrode voltage as well as the focusing electrode voltage. The experimental results show that for the triode ES, the focusing electrode voltage greatly affects the shape of the electron beam profile up to 3 kV. However, for the diode ES, the shape of the electron beam profile is slightly affected by the extraction electrode voltage. The beam current output increases rapidly with the increase of the extraction electrode voltage up to 2.5 kV. Above this voltage, the beam current slowly increases, and it tends to reach saturation. The diode ES provides a higher electron beam current output than the triode ES output, but the triode ES provides a better shape of the electron beam profile. The constructed ES can provide the electron beam current of 40 mA at the filament current of 18 A.

The Indonesian Competition Commission (ICC) in 2022 has compiled a study on Alleged Control of Business Use Rights in the Palm Oil Plantation Sub-Sector that Can Result in Monopolistic Practices or Unfair Business Competition with the conclusion that the results of the analysis conducted on secondary data regarding companies engaged in the palm oil and cooking oil agribusiness system, the conclusion is obtained that leads to the alleged potential violation of Article 17 of Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition. The palm oil agribusiness system is closely related to the palm-based cooking oil industry system. However, the two systems each have a structural pattern that has a very high level of complexity. The Palm Oil industry has a market structure of oligopoly in the downstream, and oligopsony in the upstream. This condition allows the dominant company to become a price maker at all stages of the palm oil industry supply chain. Oligopoly and oligopsony conditions can cause deadweight loss for smallholder oil palm farmers (pressure on FFB prices), consumers (palm oil prices), and even the government

Identification of acetic acid-ethanol mixtures using a commercial gas sensor array equipped with ensemble regression has been carried out. The gas sensor analysis was simple, rapid, and fast since it did not require any sample preparation. A quantitative analysis of the acetic acid-ethanol mixture was carried out to determine the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor in distinguishing the concentration of the acetic acid and ethanol mixture. This study focuses on the coefficient of determination of 80% of the calibration data set and recovery of 20% of the testing data set. The models showed excellent performance,specifically, the Bagging and Random Forest r2 for the ethanol calibration data reached 0.91 and 0.94, respectively. The corresponding ethanol test recoveries were 99.95% and 97.84%, indicating the robustness of the model in accurately predicting ethanol concentration. Acetic acid test recoveries were 100.56% and 101.38% with r2 of 0.89 and 0.93 for Bagging and Random Forest regression, respectively. Hence, the commercial gas sensor array equipped with ensemble regression can be applied to the quantification of the acetic acid – ethanol mixture and demonstrate opportunities for the practical use of this gas sensor array in analyzing real samples, i.e. human breath or environmental monitoring samples.

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCs) was successfully isolated from pepper biowaste using lactic acid hydrolysis and employed as filler in seaweed biocomposite. Optimization of hydrolysis parameters by employing response surface methodology (RSM) generates 75.50 % NCs with 76.68 % crystallinity at 6.31 M lactic acid, 3.02 h and 85.86 °C. The ANOVA analysis indicates hydrolysis efficiency requires precise temperature control and lactic acid concentration to obtain high crystalline cellulose at high production yield. The NCs displayed rod-shaped morphology with 29.65 ± 3 nm diameter and 335.19 ± 10 nm length, with a negative zeta potential and higher thermal stability than the cellulose. NCs addition as filler in seaweed biofilm improved the tensile strength but reduced the elongation at break. The biofilm exhibits excellent properties in reducing water adsorption, solubility, and water permeability by increasing nanocellulose filler.

So far, the study of magical realism in literature has been limited to the relationship of literature to the chronology of text creation. There have been no studies linking the imagination of magical realism and the reader effect, especially the content of educational values. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the values of education in the literature of magical realism. This research uses semiotic methods, content analysis, and hermeneutics. The primary data source is Danarto Asmaraloka’s novel. The results showed that Asmaraloka is a literature that creates a complex world. It represents reality and fantasy that rejects simple and exclusive binary and postmodernist views. The magical realism in Asmaraloka encompasses certain cultural traditions and universal aspects. At the same time, Asmaraloka provides educational values about freedom. An important im-plication of this research is that literature can be a medium of expression that simultaneously guides readers about freedom.

This study analyzes the Unibridge system, a modular steel box girder employing two pins for longitudinal connections, thereby expediting construction compared to traditional girders. A finite element model was developed to analyze the stress on these pins in a single-box girder with five segments and a reinforced concrete floor slab. Various loads were applied following the Indonesian bridge loading standard, SNI 1725:2016. The model considers operational load analysis and assumes full composite behaviour between the top flanges of the girder and the concrete floor slab. The results indicate that the Von-Mises stress on the pins reaches a maximum of 490.95 MPa under combined service loads, consistently remaining below the specified material yield stress limit of 1200 MPa. Consequently, the Demand Capacity Ratio (DCR) is 0.41. As a result, the Unibridge girder connection pins do not experience plastic deformation under the applied loads.

Dolomite as the catalyst for pyrolysis of waste cooking oil (WCO) was investigated to produce hydrocarbon fuels. Optimization of pyrolysis parameters i.e. time, temperature and catalysts loading, achieved high selectivity of WCO to diesel hydrocarbon, compared to thermal pyrolysis that produced mainly carboxylic acids. Dolomite catalysed deoxygenation of fatty acid in WCO into hydrocarbon, consequently accelerating the pyrolysis time to 75 min. Bio-oil at 68.06% yield with 57.27% selectivity towards diesel and gasoline hydrocarbons was obtained at 450 °C while using 6% of dolomite. Dolomite exhibited partial phase separation into dolomite/CaCO3 mixtures within 15 min of pyrolysis, initiated by the generated CO2 during pyrolisis of WCO. The catalyst is stable for up to three reaction cycles suggesting the activity was achieved from the synergy between the dolomite/CaCO3 phases.

This study aimed to analyze the community's disaster response awareness during the Covid-19 pandemic during the implementation of The Large-Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) in Gresik. Self-awareness was observed using Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luck man's Social Construction Theory through a dialectical process of internalization, objectification, and externalization. The results showed that there had been no good awareness in efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Gresik. Socially, the community had not taken the dangers of Covid-19 seriously. There was also an inconsistency between knowledge and reality related to disaster response. In coping with the dialectical process, the community had not implemented a disaster-aware culture by obeying the existing regulations. At least, the sociocultural environment determined a person's construction for self-identification, interaction, and adjustment to the social changes that occurred. Hence, the sociocultural construction of the community had never made the disease outbreak a serious problem and considered it as well as God's reminder even though infected cases continued to increase. A situation was indeed difficult for the Task Force to succeed in the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) to Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (CARE) suppressed the increase of Covid-19 positive cases in Gresik, Indonesia.

This study presents a direct multicomponent analysis method using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to determine Cu(II), Fe(III), and Ni(II) ion content without prior complexation or separation. Single and multivariate regression was used to predict metal ion content, and the resulting model was trained and validated using a dataset of 25 multi-component samples. The mean recoveries for Cu(II), Fe(III), and Ni(II) using linear and ridge regression based only on absorbance at 805 nm were 99.97% and 101.6%, 95.42% and 95.65%, and 99.43% and 99.99%, respectively, for the 20% test data. The mean recoveries for Cu(II), Fe(III), and Ni(II) using linear and ridge regression based only on absorbance at 805 nm were 92.27% and 95.03%, 125.3% and 124.11%, and 104.15% and 105.52%, respectively, for the test solution outside of the training data. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the multivariate UV-Vis spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of Cu(II) and Ni(II) in multicomponent samples, which meets the analysis standard and can be successfully applied. Finally, the study sheds light on the influence of spectral interference on the accuracy of regression models. It highlights the importance of carefully selecting the wavelengths used as predictors in such models. This can have significant implications for developing and validating analytical methods, particularly in cases where multiple analytes were present in a sample.

One of the environmentally friendly concrete as an alternative to cement concrete in the future is geopolymer concrete which used a cement substitute in the form of fly ash. To prevent premature cracking of the concrete, this study added fiber types such as polypropylene fiber, and steel fiber (dramix), this experiment with 3 variables namely the addition of polypropylene fiber by 0%, 0.40%, 0.80%, 1.2%, steel fiber of 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00%, as well as a combination of polypropylene fiber and steel fiber (0.4%P;0.50%D), (0.8%P;0.75%D), (1.2%P;1.00%D) of the weight of the concrete. In this study, using a beam specimen measuring 10x10x50 cm, for each percentage of fiber usage there are 2 beam trials. Geopolymer concrete in this study uses a ratio of NaOH and Na2SiO3 is 2:1 and a constant concentration of 10 Molar, to test the Flexural Strength Test of Concrete at the age of 28 days of concrete. The results of the highest average flexural strength of geopolymer concrete without fiber σl = 78.77 kg/cm2, using polypropylene 0.80% σl =50.50 kg/cm2, and 0.25% steel fiber σl =68.87 kg/cm2, the combination of both fibers (P0.4%; D0.25%) σl =65.34 kg/cm2. These results do not produce good workability, thus affecting the decrease in flexural strength. By increasing the ratio A = 0.35 to 0.45, the geopolymer concrete mix produces better workability with the highest average flexural strength of geopolymer concrete with polypropylene fiber 0.8% σl = 80.107 kg/cm2.

This research is an effort to investigate the understanding of prospective student teachers in the PGSD Study Program at "AS" Universities in Yogyakarta. The focus of the research is the understanding of nationalism and the implementation of literature as a medium of nationalism. This study used quantitative methods. Research data was conducted by conducting surveys and interviews. The survey was conducted using Google Forms media. Interviews were conducted with 30 students. The results showed that students at "U.S." colleges do not all understand national identity. Of the 30 respondents, there was 1 student who did not understand the identity of the nation. However, overall they have read many books on national identity. Students also agreed that the spirit of nationalism is an important factor that every citizen must have. In addition, students agree that the values of nationalism can be taught through literature. As a form of agreement about it, they have also implemented the practice of making poems with the theme of national identity as a representation of the spirit of nationalism. The novelty of this research is that there has been no previous research that investigates the understanding of nationalism for students, especially in the field of literature in the PGSD Study Program.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how public sector workers in Indonesia use e-learning systems and how they can benefit from them. The researchers analyzed five variables that contribute to the effectiveness of e-learning: system reliability, information sharing, service quality, user satisfaction, and net benefit. Structural Equation Model analysis was used to analyze the data collected from 203 respondents who were public sector employees in Indonesia. The findings of this study revealed that information sharing, and service quality significantly impact user satisfaction, which in turn has a significant effect on net benefits. Additionally, system reliability was found to significantly impact user satisfaction. This theoretical implication suggests that there is a direct relationship between the level of information sharing and service quality provided by a public sector organization and the level of user satisfaction experienced by its usage of e-learning. The practical implication of the finding is that public sector organizations must prioritize the reliability of their e-learning systems. This includes investing in regular maintenance and updates, ensuring proper testing and quality control procedures, and addressing any issues or downtime quickly and effectively.

The production of coconut and durian means that it will produce a lot of waste from its shell. Indonesia is a country that produces a lot of them. The coconut shell (CS) and durian fruit peel (DFP) can be converted to briquette as new fuel from biomass. The objective of this research is to obtain the calorific briquette properties of CS and DFP using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The material composition consist of 10 % and 15 % of starch for each CS and DFP. Thermal treatment was carried out in the temperature range of 28 °C to 600 °C at 5.4 °C/min. The addition of starch causes the heating temperature since it has thermoplastic properties.
