The objectives of this paper are to analyse sustainability of wind energy potential, and select the best wind turbine model for installation at the study site. The study used the two-parameter Weibull distribution as the basic mathematical model to analyse half-hourly data collected at the Tanzania Meteorological Department data collection centre for two consecutive years, 2021 and 2022. Statistical methods were used to validate the best fit between the standard deviation, energy pattern, moment, and wind variability methods. The moment method was selected based on the validation results. The results of this research show that more than 66.7% of the most probable monthly wind speed in 2021 is between 5 and 8.6 m/s, while more than 75% is between 5 and 13.7 m/s in 2022. Furthermore, based on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory wind power classification, the study concluded that the site has a sustainable wind energy potential, as more than 90% of the 24 months and 8 climatic seasons have a calculated wind energy density between 700 and 7000 MWh/m². In addition, based on the calculated capacity factor and average power, all turbines selected in this study have high-capacity factors greater than 25% and can be considered for selection based on the projected investment budget. However, the most cost-effective wind turbine model was found to be the POLARIS P62-1000, due to its highest capacity factors and average power output on an annual, seasonal, and monthly basis.

Silicone rubber magnetorheological elastomers (SR-MREs) are increasingly recognized for their resilience in marine conditions, offering prolonged service life and durability. This study evaluates the one-month durability of silicone rubber magnetorheological elastomers (SR-MREs) under seawater conditions. Results revealed a 6% reduction in hardness and an 8% decrease in Young’s modulus compared to unimmersed samples. Morphological and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analyses supported these findings, revealing surface defects and chemical bonding changes. The immersed SR-MRE displayed a notable 250% increase in elongation at break, highlighting enhanced elasticity. Rheological properties revealed complex mechanical behavior, with an initial increase in storage modulus from 0.25 to 0.38 MPa in the presence of a magnetic field, followed by a gradual decrease to 0.15 MPa at 0 A and 0.52 Mpa at 5 A with strain. Additionally, this study proposes an illustrative mechanism to elucidate the relationship between seawater elements and SR-MRE behavior, enhancing our understanding of its mechanical properties and degradation in marine environments, thus highlighting SR-MRE’s potential as a durable material compared to traditional rubber composites.

Examining the physical aging of materials is essential for assessing their long-term performance and determining their suitability for specific applications. Material aging involves changes from their initial state, including deterioration or degradation. A key example of such a progressive, continuous process is the aging of materials in response to natural weathering conditions. While extensive research has focused on macro- and micro-scale aging, further investigation at the nanoscale could provide a more detailed understanding of material deterioration. This study explores the nanomechanical properties of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) after nine months of natural weathering, focusing on stiffness, elasticity, surface roughness, and adhesion at the nanometer scale. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with a sharp tip affixed to a cantilever was employed to characterize these properties. After nine months of exposure to natural weathering, MREs exhibited unique nanomechanical changes compared to their bulk properties, highlighting the significance of nanoscale analysis. At the nanoscale, the nanomechanical properties of MREs, including stiffness and elasticity, exhibited noticeable alterations within the first month of exposure, followed by a gradual reduction, and slight increments observed up to the nine-month mark. Surface roughness steadily increased over the nine months, while adhesion energy initially rose during the first month before gradually decreasing by the end of the study. These findings provide valuable insights into the material's mechanical behavior and offer a deeper understanding of its structural and functional properties at the nanoscale.

However, in its application related to Ma'qud alaih there are still a few that do not meet the requirements, the hawker traders have not fully implemented these terms and conditions in conducting transactions, because there are still many hawker traders who ignore the contract and do not record the administration of the consignment contract.

Abstract It is well known in the field of materials science that a substance’s longevity is significantly influenced by its environment. Everything begins with the initial contact on a material’s surface. This influence will then deteriorate and have an extended negative impact on the strength of the material. In this study, the effect of natural weathering in tropical climates on magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) was investigated through microstructural evaluation to understand the aging behavior of the environmentally exposed MRE. To understand and elucidate the process, MREs made of silicone rubber and 70 wt% micron-sized carbonyl iron particles were prepared and exposed to the natural weathering of a tropical climate for 90 days. The MRE samples were then mechanically tensile tested, which revealed that Young’s modulus increased, while elongation at break decreased. Surface degradation due to weathering was suspected to be the primary cause of this condition. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the degradation of MRE was investigated as a function of morphological evidence. Upon examination through SEM, it was noted that the weathering effects on the morphology of the exposed samples showed distinct characteristics on the degraded surfaces of the MRE, including numerous microvoids, cavities, and microcracks. While these features were not prominent for the MRE itself, they bear resemblance to the effects observed in similar materials like rubber and elastomer. An atomic force microscope (AFM) is used to investigate the surface topography and local degradation conditions. This observation revealed a distinctive degradation characteristic of the MRE in connection to natural weathering in tropical climates. The surface damage of the MRE samples became severe and inhomogeneous during the environmental aging process, and degradation began from the exposed MRE surface, causing the mechanical characteristics of the MRE to significantly change.

The research focuses on water diesel emulsion (WDE), a topic that has captivated researchers for an extended period. While previous studies predominantly employed surfactants to enhance mixing efficiency, their non-economic feasibility in transportation logistics has prompted a shift in recent investigations. This study presents experiments utilizing a cost-effective WDE comprising 15% water and a mixer devoid of surfactants to investigate the impact of mixer blade rotation on engine performance, fuel consumption, and NOx emissions. NOx emission tests were conducted under a constant engine speed of 2,000 rpm and a 75% load (3,23 kW). The optimal brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for the 15% WDE fuel occurred at a blade rotation speed of 3,000 rpm, resulting in a 1% power reduction (from 4,41 kW to 4,38 kW), a 13.3% decrease in BSFC (from 694,98 gr/kW.h to 602,52 gr/kW.h), and a 30% reduction in NOx emissions (from 54 ppm to 38 ppm). This discovery holds promise for future advancements in green energy applications within the transportation sector.

Many vibration isolators, such as passive vehicle mounting devices, have an inflexible stiffness. This article presents the development of a smart material vibration isolator based on magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), which has adjustable stiffness to minimize unwanted vibrations. The objective of this research is to first create a design for the vibration isolator, and then simulate a magnetic circuit. The Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) software was employed to simulate the effectiveness of the electromagnetic circuit in generating a magnetic field through the vibration isolator by employing MRE samples. Pure iron was chosen as the material for the housing of the vibration isolator test rig. To attain an optimal magnetic field, an inventive design of the magnetic circuit, including examination of the wire type, size, and coil turn number, along with the housing material of the test rig, was performed. The study analyzed the performance of the MRE vibration isolator concerning different current inputs in the coil. The results indicate that the stiffness value of the MRE-based isolator system can be more effectively modified by increasing the current inputs. Therefore, a larger current input leads to a greater change in stiffness.

Purpose Geertz's trichotomy serves as a guide for reading (1) how the priyayi, santri, and abangan categories are structured in the representations of the meanings of the folklore studied and (2) how these representations are connected to Sunan Gunung Jati and Sheikh Siti Jenar. Method This article used a qualitative descriptive method. Folklore data was obtained from interviews, documentation, observation, and literature reviews. Results/findings Cirebon batik is produced in the Syattariyah order tradition. This statement contradicted the description of Cirebon batik, which contained the meaning of Manunggaling Kawula Gusti (the union of a servant with his God) which embraces an anti-structural typology of structures originating from Sheikh Siti Jenar. Conclusion The anti-structural nature of Cirebon batik merges Geertz's trichotomy into a new category, namely kawula, before God. The doctrine of Manunggaling Kawula Gusti acts as the knowledge that directly forms batik patterns and is still connected to the Syattariyah order if we place Sheikh Datul Kahfi as the figure who brought this order to Cirebon. The elaboration of all these conclusions shows Cirebon's position as a mixed type in Geertz's trichotomy.

Optimized design 1 has the lowest natural frequency and the highest amplitude compared to the initial design, and optimized design 2 has lower damping characteristics. The study results conclude that optimized design 2 is superior in static and dynamic loading.

Antiballistics are used as personal protective equipment required by military and police personnel. They have been mentioned frequently in recent decades due to the increasing cases of war. Several studies have reviewed the development of antiballistic technology. However, there needs to be more discussion on and systematic reviews of the current milestones of antiballistic materials, testing, and procedures. In addition, compared to other fields, antiballistic studies are rarely carried out by public researchers because research on weapons is still a sensitive topic. Researchers who want to discuss antiballistics must cooperate with the country's defense and security agencies. This article aims to present a summary on and the development of scientific research on the theoretical concept of impact, the experimental approach for ballistic tests on advanced materials, the idealization of ballistic tests in computational mechanic simulations, and milestones of technical apparatus for ballistic performance measurement, over a period of more than 500 years. Thus, this analysis makes an excellent contribution to the field of antiballistics. This article review is based on hundreds of international journals and websites that are still active and can be accounted for legally. The results show that research related to antiballistics will continue to grow yearly.

This study offers a mechanism to control low-speed orientation using semi-active control. The semi-active system consists of a variable mass system and a torsional spring. The torque generated by a variable mass system controls the platform’s orientation. An evaluation of the control system’s effectiveness is tested on a solar panel. The variable mass was represented by moving the water from one reservoir to another located at the left and right sides of the panel using an electrical pump. A solenoid valve controls the flow. The test results indicate that the energy consumption of electrical pump as actuators is reduced. Based on several references, the actuator energy consumption for controlling the orientation of solar panels was generally 2% - 3%, while in this study 0.79%. .

Abstract This paper aims to investigate the mechanical and rheological properties of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) in marine ecosystems. The prepared samples comprised silicone rubber (SR) and 70 wt% micron-sized carbonyl iron particles (CIPs), immersed in an artificial marine ecosystem using salt water (Natrium Chloride) for 30 days. The mechanical properties of MRE samples were evaluated using hardness and quasi-static tensile tests. While the rheometer was used to investigate the rheological properties of their storage modulus condition with magnetic field stimulation. Further analysis of the defects and damages caused by salt water ageing was done through morphological observation using scanning electron microscope (SEM) technology. The results showed that the hardness and tensile strength of MRE samples that were soaked in salt water were affected over time. Lower values of hardness and tensile strength were obtained after 30 days due to the presence of Na+ and Cl−, which acted as an accelerator to the hydrolyzation process of the MRE. The process then, enhanced the water ingress capability into the matrix to cause the molecular changes. Interestingly, for rheological properties, 30 days of salt water ageing allowed the water molecules to move the MRE matrix molecular chains apart, a process known as plasticization and thus increasing the MR effect. Furthermore, morphological evidence was established to determine the MRE changes during salt water ageing. The research findings should greatly contribute to a better understanding of the effect of salt water on the performance of MRE.

An inspection is the most important step for the manufacturers producing their cars. This ensures the seamless compatibility of each car part, as even minor errors can lead to user discomfort during operation. To achieve that goal, the utilization of inspection tools, such as a checking fixture is essential. In this research, we will study the structure analysis of a checking fixture with Ansys software. This study aims to examine the structural strength by analyzing the impact of various design variations on the overall strength outcomes. The requirement for checking fixture is that it must meet the datum tolerance of the car with value of ± 2mm. Due to that factor, a rigid checking fixture is needed for inspecting the part without experiencing significant deformation. In static loading, the result of the first variation frame has a stress of 5.71 MPa and deformation of 0.051 mm, the second variation frame has a stress of 6.16 MPa and deformation of 0.049 mm and the third variation frame has a stress of 5.63 MPa and deformation 0.042 mm. In terms of weight, the first variation structure has 2470.48 kg, the second variation structure has 2179.93 kg and the third variation structure has 2210 kg. The second variation frame has the highest stress but it has the lightest weight, and the third variation frame has lower stress and deformation but it has a heavier weight than the second variation model. The study results that the second variation model is superior because it has the lightest weight while the three designs have small stress and deformation that still satisfy the requirement of the fixture.

Mandakini Neo is an autonomous vehicle that was designed and built by the students of the Universitas Sebelas Maret, which was included in the Bengawan Unmanned Vehicle (UV) Roboboat Team to compete in the annual international Roboboat competition of 2021. This competition requires participants to complete several missions; one of the main missions is to move through two gates made from four poles using full automatic navigation, in order to continue on with the other missions. To complete the course, we used Pixhawk and GPS to allow the ship to run automatically, while minimizing the ship’s movement tolerance. The use of Mission Planner software for monitoring, and also for color and shape image processing to help with the reading of objects, along with a sensor fitted on the ship, allowed the mission to be completed. Mandakini Neo was made with the capacity, speed, and comfort of the ship in mind, as well as the ship’s hydrodynamic performance, stability, volume, structural integrity, and construction cost. Following its development we conducted tests of stability, maneuverability, and seakeeping in order to achieve the smallest possible resistance rate; for this purpose, we used the Savitsky method. The manufacture of the ship also required the choosing of the material, the use of the sensor, and also selection of an appropriate system. Finally, the design that we developed was a ship with a catamaran hull type, for which the dimensions had already been calculated, and the proper materials decided, and simple electrical components were able to be obtained for the sensor and the system.

Abstract This study introduces a novel platform to predict complex modulus variables as a function of the applied magnetic field and other imperative variables using machine learning. The complex modulus prediction of magnetorheological (MR) elastomers is a challenging process, attributable to the material’s highly nonlinear nature. This problem becomes apparent when considering various possible fabrication parameters. Furthermore, traditional parametric modeling methods are limited when applied to solve larger-scale cases involving large databases. Consequently, the application of non-parametric modeling such as machine learning has gained increasing attraction in recent years. Therefore, this work proposes a data-driven approach for predicting multiple input-dependent complex moduli using feedforward neural networks. Besides excitation frequency and magnetic flux density as operating conditions, the inputs consider compositions and curing conditions represented by magnetic particle weight percentage and the curing magnetic field, respectively. Extreme learning machines and artificial neural networks were used to train the models. The simulation results obtained at various curing conditions and other inputs confirm that the predicted complex modulus has high accuracy with an R2 of about 0.997, as compared to the experimental results. Furthermore, the predicted complex modulus pattern and magnetorheological effect agree with the experimental data using both the learned and unlearned data.

The risks and impacts of natural disasters and humanity have twisted people perceptions of sin and mistakes that are not entirely true. There are orientation, purpose, and the distinction between natural disasters and disasters in the concept of disasters in the Quran. The ideological doctrine of disasters such as ‘iqâb, fitnah, mushîbah, or ‘azâb in the Quran is made unilateral claim without considering the geographical and disaster aspect. The disasters are now evolving into implicative social phenomena rather than cause and effect. This research aims to provide a more balanced explanation in describing the concept of disaster in the Quran by using disaster and paradigm of social change theory. By employing the thematic interpretation method with a structural semantic approach, it is expected to give a new perspective on the concept of disaster. The results are: the first, conceptually natural disasters have restorative, regenerative and humanistic goals. The second, the disaster phenomena have the spirituality dimension to restore common sense and human ethics. The third, the disasters have various forms and characteristics as a consequence of human deeds more as grace than wrath. Therefore, the disaster orientation is not considered as hatred but as God's grace or affection for human. Resiko dan dampak bencana alam dan kemanusiaan telah membentuk persepsi masyarakat tentang dosa dan kesalahan yang tidak sepenuhnya benar. Terdapat pembeda antara bencana alam dan bencana serta orientasi dan tujuan dalam konsep kebencanaan di dalam Alquran. Masalah yang muncul kemudin adalah doktrin teologis bencana seperti iqab, fitnah, musibah, atau azab dalam Alquran dijadikan klaim sepihak tanpa mempertimbangkan aspek geografis dan kebencanaan. Bahkan bencana kini berkembang menjadi fenomena sosial yang bersifat implikatif dari sekedar sebab akibat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penjelasan yang lebih berimbang dalam menjelaskan konsep bencana dalam Alquran dengan menggunakan teori bencana dan paradigma perubahan sosial. Melaui metode tafsir tematik dengan pendekatan semantik struktural diharapkan dapat memberikan perspektif baru tentang konsep kebencanaan. Hasilnya, pertama, bencana alam secara konseptual memiliki tujuan restoratif, regeneratif dan humanitis. Kedua peristiwa bencana memiliki dimensi spiritualitas untuk mengembalikan akal sehat dan budi pekerti manusia. Ketiga, bencana memiliki beragam bentuk dan karakteristik sebagai konsekuensi perbuatan manusia lebih sebagai rahmat ketimbang murka. Dengan demikian, orientasi bencana bukan sebagai kebencian tetapi lebih sebagai rahmat atau kasih sayang Tuhan kepada manusia.

This research aims to explain about the acculturation of Islam and Javanese wisdom in interpreting ruh (spirit) as an ecological behavior in dealing with natural disaster and exploitative activities. The concept of spirit refers to the awareness to interpret the relationship between human and nature as a living macrocosm unit. The awareness, in Islam, is a dimension of Sufi that blends with nature, such as Javanese philosophy on the principle of the unity of nature. It employs descriptive analytical method by integrating theo-sufistic paradigm to find a turning point in the common ground between Islam and Java in preserving the nature. The analysis goes into three conclusions: 1) the concept of spirit in Islam is a representation of one’s love with nature as the manifestation of love with God in its essence; 2) Javanese beliefs and rituals in ruh as a living and valuable existence signified in mystical mythology for being haunted and sacred serves as theo-sufistic expressions of Islam and Java; 3) spirituality of the spirit generates awareness of the philosophy of Sangkan Paraning Dumadi, to live in harmony and balance between humans and nature. Penelitian ini ingin menjelaskan tentang akulturasi Islam dan kearifan Jawa dalam memaknai ruh sebagai perilaku ekologis dalam menangani kerusakan alam dan aktivitas eksploitatif. Konsep ruh yang dimaksud adalah kesadaran memaknai hubungan manusia dan alam sebagai satu kesatuan makrokosmos yang hidup. Kesadaran tersebut dalam Islam merupakan dimensi sufistik yang menyatu dengan alam sebagaimana falsafah Jawa tentang prinsip kesatuan alam. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitis dengan pendekatan integratif dalam paradigma teo-sufistik untuk menemukan titik balik persamaan persepsi antara Islam dan Jawa dalam memelihara alam hayati. Hasilnya, pertama, konsep ruh dalam Islam adalah representasi dari mencintai alam sebagai manfestasi mencintai Tuhan dengan dzatnya. Kedua, keyakinan dan ritual yang dilakukan masyarakat Jawa atas ruh sebagai eksistensi yang hidup dan memberi manfaat yang mewujud dalam mitologis mistik yang disebut angker dan sakral sebagai ekspresi teo-sufistik Islam dan Jawa. Ketiga, spiritualitas ruh memberikan kesadaran dalam filosofi Jawa tentang Sangkan Paraning Dumadi sebagai makna hidup untuk dapat serasi dan seimbang antara manusia dan alam.

A research subject in structural engineering is the problem of vibration under a loading object. The two-dimensional (2D) model of a structure under loading is an example. In general, this case uses an object that is given a random frequency, which then causes various changes in shape depending on the frequency model. To determine the difference in performance by looking at the different forms of each mode, modal analysis with ANSYS was used. The samples to be simulated were metal plates with three variations of the model, namely, a virgin metal plate without any holes or stiffness, plates with given holes, and metal plates with stiffness on one side. The model was simulated with modal analysis, so that 20 natural frequencies were recorded. The sample also used different materials: low-carbon steel materials (AISI 304), marine materials (AISI 1090), and ice-class materials (AR 235). Several random-frequency models proved the deformation of different objects. Variations of sheet-metal designs were applied, such as pure sheet metal, giving holes to the sides, and stiffening the simulated metal sheet.

The installation of aerodynamic devices, such as rear wings with the application of a Gurney flap, is very important to improve the performance of vehicles and can generate downforce and reduce slip when a car turns and brakes. The goal of this study was to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the addition of a rear wing using an Eppler 423 airfoil, which was applied with a Gurney flap featuring variations in the angle of attack and the height of the Gurney flap. The rear wing was mounted on the Ahmed body with a rear slant angle of 15°, which is similar to the configuration on a fastback type car. This research was conducted by 3D modeling through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using ANSYS Student R18.2 by using ahmed body design. There are three variations in the angle of attack for the rear wing (0°, 7.5°, and 15°), as well as five variations in Gurney flap height of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% for the chord-line length. In this study, the best variation was found at an angle of attack of 15⁰ with a height of 2% C. From this configuration improved CL/CD ratio by 25.36% when compared to the results without a Gurney flap.

One of the efforts to care for diversity within the framework of Indonesian unity is through interfaith dialogue which is packaged in fostering religious harmony. With the issuance of Village law 16 of 2014 has provided space for aspirations to manage the diversity of citizens through the deleberative democracy process in the village budget policy mechanism in Village Development Conference. This research has found grassroots aspirations that are included in the Village Fund policy in Klinting Village, Banyumas district. Although it is not the main aspiration in the village budget policy priorities, it is at least a quality aspiration that is included in the village fund policy. The issue of religion in the form of interreligious dialogue between Hindu-Islamic religions is still a common thread in the realities of policy and the aspirations of people's lives, that is the aspiration demonstration that can be achieved from this research.

Our study wants to test whether opinions, accrual levels, and accruals are influential or not on the financial performance of local governments. the use of accrual accretion using the five Healy model, Angelo, Hribar, Jones, and modification is expected to capture more thoroughly each local government management policy related to financial management accrual discretion and the preparation of local government financial reports. The results of processing data show that the first model (Healy, Angelo, Jones, and Modification) shows results that reject the alternative hypothesis. The third research model, Hribar, showed positive results, namely accepting alternative hypotheses. We use the SPSS statistical tool to carry out multiple regression testing. The first hypothesis shows a negative result so that it is rejected ie opinion does not affect financial performance. The second hypothesis, the level of accruals influences financial performance is rejected. While accruals (H3) are accepted. And together these three variables have a weak influence on the financial performance of local governments. The hribar model accruals discretion shows the existence of factors that influence financial performance derived from several factors. Hribar accrual formulation is influenced by two factors, namely cash flow and budget realization (deficit). Thus the authors conclude that the accrual policy in the financial statements of local governments is influenced by surplus (deficit budget realization) and local government cash flows. Opinion and accrual levels do not affect the government's financial performance.

The impact attenuator is an essential system in both race cars and urban vehicles. The structure of an impact attenuator serves as a safety barrier between the impacted surface and the driver in an accident. Attenuator materials tend to have a high price; thus, alternative materials were explored in the current work, i.e., used cans from food and beverage containers. The study deployed a nonlinear finite element algorithm to calculate a series of impacts on the attenuator structures. The thickness of the cans and velocity of the impact were considered as the main parameters. Analysis results concluded that the attenuator's average energy was 16000 J for a can thickness of 1 mm. This value is more than two times the 0.5 mm thick used cans. The attenuator's new design was then matched with an attenuator regulation, and the results surpassed the standard value of 7350 J.

This research presents a response analysis of a UAV nose landing gear system equipped with an air damper under shock and harmonic excitation. The study begins with dynamic modeling of the UAV landing gear system. The system dynamics consists of a main mass and a wheel mass that are connected to each other by a U-shaped landing gear. The U-shaped landing gear is modeled by a linear spring and dashpot element. The air damper is added to the landing gear to increase the damping. The air damper consists of an air balloon that is connected to the outside via an orifice hole and the connecting pipe. A serial connection of spring, mass, and dashpot elements describes the air damper dynamic model. The simulation study is conducted to evaluate the effect of the landing gear parameters variation on the UAV dynamic response under shock and harmonic excitation. The maximum acceleration and displacement response of the UAV body under shock load is greatly affected by the air balloon cross-sectional area (Aef) and the stiffness of the U-shaped landing gear system (KL). The harmonic response of the UAV body is evaluated from the ratio between the UAV body displacement amplitude and the base excitation amplitude under harmonic excitation. It is shown that the air balloon cross-sectional area (Aef) and the connecting pipe length (lp) have a significant effect on the UAV mass displacement ratio. The experimental study is conducted to validate the simulation results. It is shown that the experimental data can verify the simulation results.

The impact attenuator is a safety vehicle system designed to absorb the kinetic energy from a collision that is converted into deformation and ensures the deceleration level acting on the human body remains low. In this paper, we propose that the impact attenuator be fabricated with used cans, which are easy to obtain. Compared to fabricating cylinders through machining and other production processes using new material, the application of used cans may reduce production costs by approximately IDR 500,000 (USD 34.50) for one attenuator structure, while the attenuator still meets the weight criterion, i.e., it has to be light to improve acceleration and fuel efficiency. As a type of metal waste product, food cans are often fabricated from aluminum and other metal alloys. These products are widely used in our lives; if they are not recycled, they can potentially pollute the environment as waste. Given these problems and considering the use of environmentally friendly materials, lightweight used cans were chosen as materials for the proposed impact attenuator design. In the initial study, the verification and validation tests of the impact attenuator shell and used cans show good agreement between the numerical and experimental impact tests. The proposed impact attenuator design under the predetermined parameters showed that used cans of aluminum 6063 series can be recommended as an alternative material in this system.

Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) consists of magnetic particles known as carbonyl iron (CIPs), which have been locked in a silicone-based matrix, in various alignments. However, current MRE exhibits inadequate rheological properties due to several issues such as particle alignments. Therefore, in this study, a new approach of the particle alignment of CIPs in MRE, namely fountain-like structure, is introduced. It is expected that this kind of MRE exhibits enhancement rheological responses, in off- and on-state conditions. This work includes the development of a new mold that can produce various directions of magnetic flux lines in order to have fountain-like structures of CIPs in MRE, during the curing process. Three types of particle alignments in MRE, namely isotropic, fountain-like and inverted fountain-like, are fabricated. The rheological properties of MRE in terms of storage modulus and MR effect are measured in an oscillatory shear mode using a rheometer. The results have revealed that fountain-like MRE exhibits higher storage modulus than the isotropic MRE, approximately 0.6 MPa of increment in the strain sweep test, in an on-state condition. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated from strain, frequency and the current sweep test that the rheological properties of fountain-like MRE related to storage modulus and magnetorheological (MR) effect are higher compared to the inverted fountain-like MRE.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of the time and frequency of magnetic field application on MRF pressure performance. It was carried out by placing magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in a U-shaped, glass tube and then repeatedly applying a magnetic field to it for a certain time period with a particular frequency set by the generator frequency. The length of the application period of the magnetic field, the frequency of the application of the magnetic field, and the magnitude of changes in fluid pressure that occurred and changes in pressure in the MRF were recorded with a data logger for a specific time, which was 60 s. From the field tests that were carried out, it was found that during the application of a continuous magnetic field, there was pressure on the MRF until it reached the maximum pressure; then, there was a gradual decrease in pressure when the magnetic field was turned off, but the pressure was intense. It was shown that the pressure decreased rapidly as the magnetism disappeared, even causing the pressure to drop below the initial pressure, which, in turn, gradually rose again toward the equilibrium pressure. Meanwhile, during the repeated application of a magnetic field, it appeared that the MRF effectively produced pressure in response to the presence of a magnetic field up to a frequency of 5 Hz. The higher the applied magnetic field frequency, the smaller the pressure change that occurred. Starting at a frequency of 10 Hz, the application of a magnetic field produced more minor pressure changes, and the resulting pressure continued to decrease as the liquid level decreased toward the initial equilibrium position.

Pemerintah Republik Indonesia telah melakukan berbagai reformasi baik dari sisi tata kelola keuangan, sumberdaya manusia dan organisasi. Reformasi tata kelola keuangan dimulai diterbitkannya berbagai macam undang-undang tentang pengelolaan keuangan pemerintah. Undang-udangan tentang sistem perencanaan, pengelolan keuangan, perbendaharaan, sistem pemeriksanaan keuangan dan sistem pengendalian intern pemerintah telah diterbitkan dan dilaksanakan. Pemerintah telah berupaya sedemikian rupa untuk terus menerus melakukan perubahan secara gradual. Salah satu reformasi yang sangat penting adalah tatakelola keuangan. Unsur tatakelola keuangan yang saat ini menjadi sangat penting dan menjadi perhatian banyak pihak adalah bidang pelaporan atau akuntansi. Pemerintah telah menyusun regulasi dan kebijakan terkait dengan akuntansi. Kebijakan yang diambil pemerintah baik untuk pemerintah pusat maupun daerah adalah basis akuntansi dalam perlakuan akuntansi. Basis akuntansi yang telah diterapkan di Indonesai telah mengalami berbagai macam perubahan. Perubahan mulai dari kas, kas menuju akrual hingga akrual. Pada penelitian sebelum kami telah meneliti tingkatan akrual dan diskresi akrual. Tingkatan akrual yang terjadi pada pemerintah daerah ternyata berbeda-beda. Hal ini terjadi karena diskresi yang diterapkan beragam. Diskresi akrual memiliki pengaruh pada pencapaian sisa labih atau sisa kurang perhitungan anggaran. Hal ini merupakan hasil penelitian yang kami laksanakan sebelumnya. Untuk itu kami merasa perlu melanjutkan penelitian tersebut dengan menggabungkan antara variabel tingkatan akrual, diskresi akrual serta variabel baru yang laporan hasil audit. Dengan ketiga variabel kami akan menguji hubungan ketiganya terhadap kinerja keuangan pemerintah daerah. Dengan menggunakan panel data kami menguji data laporan keuangan peerintah daerah di lingkungan Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Pemerintahan terdiri dari Provinsi, Kabupaten dan Kota. Hasil penelitian menujukkan pola hubungan yang berbeda antara satu variabel dependen dan variabel independen. Terdapat variabel yang memiliki hubungan yang positif dan ada juga yang memiliki hubungan yang negatif. Dengan adanya hasil ini diharapkan dapat digunakan oleh manajemen Pemerintah Daerah dalam menerapkan sistem akuntansi yang berbasis akrual.

This article explains how the language of Prophet Muhammad’s diplomacy in his letters sent to kings. Holmes’ context analysis theory (1992) is used in this research that looks at four social factors namely: participant, setting, topic, and function. Translational method used to analyze data and to connect social factor with diplomacy language that used, writer use method of extralingual padan. The style of diplomacy is seen from its factors (1) Participant: if the letter is addressed to a non-Arab king, the reverence greeting is clearly mentioned, whereas to the ruler in the Arabian Peninsula, only the mention of nasab (lineage). (2) Setting: for letters to non-Arabic kings, not using the association language, while to the Arab king, using it. (3) Topics: To the kings, who have not embraced Islam, about the call to embrace Islam, while for the Moslem king about the regulation of Islamic norms. (4) Function: to utilize the time of ceasefire between the Muslims and the mushrik of Mecca and to spread Islam universally. In general it can be concluded that the diplomatic language of the Prophet Muhammad is very concerned about the culture of the opponent said and still use the principles of effective and efficient language used.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based magnetorheological plastomer (MRP) possesses excellent magnetically dependent mechanical properties such as the magnetorheological effect (MR effect) when exposed to an external magnetic field. PVA-based MRP also shows a shear stiffening (ST) effect, which is very beneficial in fabricating pressure sensor. Thus, it can automatically respond to external stimuli such as shear force without the magnetic field. The dual properties of PVA-based MRP mainly on the ST and MR effect are rarely reported. Therefore, this work empirically investigates the dual properties of this smart material under the influence of different solvent compositions (20:80, 40:60, 60:40, and 80:20) by varying the ratios of binary solvent mixture (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to water). Upon applying a shear stress with excitation frequencies from 0.01 to 10 Hz, the storage modulus (G′) for PVA-based MRP with DMSO to water ratio of 20:40 increases from 6.62 × 10−5 to 0.035 MPa. This result demonstrates an excellent ST effect with the relative shear stiffening effect (RSTE) up to 52,827%. In addition, both the ST and MR effect show a downward trend with increasing DMSO content to water. Notably, the physical state of hydrogel MRP could be changed with different solvent ratios either in the liquid-like or solid-like state. On the other hand, a transient stepwise experiment showed that the solvent’s composition had a positive effect on the arrangement of CIPs within the matrix as a function of the external magnetic field. Therefore, the solvent ratio (DMSO/water) can influence both ST and MR effects of hydrogel MRP, which need to be emphasized in the fabrication of hydrogel MRP for appropriate applications primarily with soft sensors and actuators for dynamic motion control.

Building structures are vulnerable to the shocks caused by earthquakes. Buildings that have been destroyed by an earthquake are very detrimental in terms of material loss and mental trauma. However, technological developments now enable us to anticipate shocks from earthquakes and minimize losses. One of the technologies that has been used, and is currently being further developed, is a damping device that is fitted to the building structure. There are various types of damping devices, each with different characteristics and systems. Multiple studies on damping devices have resulted in the development of various types, such as friction dampers (FDs), tuned mass dampers (TMDs), and viscous dampers (VDs). However, studies on attenuation devices are mostly based on the type of system and can be divided into three categories, namely passive, active, and semi-active. As such, each type and system have their own advantages and disadvantages. This study investigated the efficacy of a magnetorheological (MR) damper, a viscous-type damping device with a semi-active system, in a simulation that applied the damper to the side of a building structure. Although MR dampers have been extensively used and developed as inter-story damping devices, very few studies have analyzed their models and controls even though both are equally important in controlled dampers for semi-active systems. Of the various types of models, the Bingham model is the most popular as indicated by the large number of publications available on the subject. Most models adapt the Bingham model because it is the most straightforward of all the models. Fuzzy controls are often used for MR dampers in both simulations and experiments. This review provides benefits for further investigation of building damping devices, especially semi-active damping devices that use magnetorheological fluids as working fluids. In particular, this paper provides fundamental material on modeling and control systems used in magnetorheological dampers for buildings. In fact, magnetorheological dampers are no less attractive than other damping devices, such as tuned mass dampers and other viscous dampers. Their reliability is related to the damping control, which could be turned into an interesting discussion for further investigation.

This study aims to observe the magnitude of the Magnetorheological Fluids (MRFs) pressure due to the application of a magnetic field. This was accomplished by placing the MRFs in a U-shaped tube, then applying a magnetic field generated by a magnetic coil. A finite element simulation for the magnetic field was carried out to estimate the magnetic field strength generated by the coil variable to the current input given in the simulated apparatus. Changes in MRFs pressure were recorded using a data logger to better observe the fluid pressure phenomena occurring in the MRFs with respect to current input variations. The results showed that the magnetic field influences the MRFs fluid pressure proportionally. The slope is not constant as the magnetic field effect to the fluid pressure gets stronger when the current input is higher. However, there are also an adverse effect of heat generated in the coil in higher current, which results in coil performance degradation and reduces the magnetic field strength.

This study aims to explain about the contextualization of the meaning of the Qur'an so that Muslims do not fall into textual understanding even away from the truth. Using Bloomfield's theory of behaviorism linguistics, this research will add to the meaning of the Qur'an's linguistic meaning, especially those related to the description of paradise in the Qur'an which was of great interest to the Arab community at that time, so that many of them converted to Islam. After analyzing the Qur'anic verses describing the state of paradise and its pleasures, the researchers found three major stimuli related to the state of Arab society that gave rise to linguistic responses in the form of descriptions of paradise: geography, agricultural products and plantations, socio-cultural conditions of society.

Magnetoactive (MA) foam, with its tunable mechanical properties and magnetostriction, has the potential to be used for the development of soft sensor technology. However, researchers have found that its mechanical properties and magnetostriction are morphologically dependent, thereby limiting its capabilities for dexterous manipulation. Thus, in this work, MA foam was developed with additional capabilities for controlling its magnetostriction, normal force, storage modulus, shear stress and torque by manipulating the concentration of carbonyl iron particles (CIPs) and the magnetic field with regard to morphological changes. MA foams were prepared with three weight percentages of CIPs, namely, 35 wt.%, 55 wt.% and 75 wt.%, and three different modes, namely, zero shear, constant shear and various shears. The results showed that the MA foam with 75 wt.% of CIPs enhanced the normal force sensitivity and positive magnetostriction sensitivity by up to 97% and 85%, respectively. Moreover, the sensitivities of the storage modulus, torque and shear stress were 8.97 Pa/mT, 0.021 µN/mT, and 0.0096 Pa/mT, respectively. Meanwhile, the magnetic dipolar interaction between the CIPs was capable of changing the property of MA foam from a positive to a negative magnetostriction under various shear strains with a low loss of energy. Therefore, it is believed that this kind of highly sensitive MA foam can potentially be implemented in future soft sensor systems.

This research was intended to look at the speech acts and politeness forms used by Prophet Muhammad. Moreover, it was also aimed to know the secret use of politeness on various speech acts in the lettersto the kings. The letters analyzed in this discussion were the letters containing a call to embrace Islam to the three kings of great kingdoms outside the Arabian Peninsula, Abyssinia al-Najasy (Ethiopia), Emperor Heraclius (Roman), and Kisra (Persia). The language analysis methodof Eunar Haugen was used in this research. Searle (1969) speech acts and Leech (1983)politeness was used as thetheory. The result showed that the letters mostly used a form of indirect speech acts with imperatives. In any form of speech used contained politeness maxims formulated by Leech used without recourse. The use of different linguistic politeness makes different influence on the king recipients. Once it is united to convince the recipients, it will make them sure to accept Islam.DOI: 10.15408/a.v3i2.3622

Islamic banks in Indonesia are currently experiencing significant development, but this must also be balanced with good banking regulations and management, including handling problematic financing. Problematic financing has an unfavorable impact on Islamic law, the danger of financing problems, namely the non-repayment of financing given in part or in whole. The greater the problematic financing faced by the bank, the lower the level of operational health of the bank, the decrease in the quality of financing and the soundness of the bank affecting financial liquidity and solvency, ultimately affecting the trust of depositors or even prospective customers. The greater the amount of financing problematic, the greater the amount of reserve funds that must be provided, and the greater the bank's responsibility for holding a reserve fund, because the losses borne by the bank will reduce bank capital. The purpose of this paper is intended to be information or even input to Islamic bank academics and practitioners on how to deal with or strategies and also to resolve problematic financing.

The role of MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) are to improve the economy and reduce the unemployment in Indonesia is widely significant regarding to the growth of MSME growth in every year. However, MSMEs often find some problem which obstruct its business growth especially about the ffunding. The phenomena that exist today, many MSMEs only using funds/private capital to develop their business with reason their business is still in early growth. In fact, instead in early growth, MSMEs must do the innovation in order to be more competitive in the marketplace. In 2015, Indonesia was starting to face Asean Economic Community (AEC) where as the market competition will be more competitive for MSMEs. Therefore, to provide private capital also required other capital (loans) from third parties to fund the business growth of MSMEs. The reason why MSMEs do not make loans from other parties is about the unavailability of the financial statements based on SAK ETAP which can facilitate to access bank lending. Unavailability of financial statements in accordance with SAK ETAP on MSMEs has several factors, namely, costs are relatively expensive to pay for experts in the field of accounting, a lack of understanding in presenting financial statement based on SAK ETAP and the perceptions of MSMEs that considesr the financial statements are not urgency to do. This research aims to obtain empirical evidences whether the giving of information and socialization, educational background, level of education, size of enterprises and long effect on the understanding of MSMes in presenting financial statements based on SAK ETAP on MSMEs. The object in this study is MSMEs in Palembang city with number of respondents of 40 MSMEs with characteristics of small and medium enterprises. Data retrieval in this study using a questionnaire which is then processed using logistic regression analysis. The results of the study prove that giving information and socialization, educational background, level of education and business size do not affect on the understanding of MSMes in presenting financial statements based on the SAK ETAP on MSMEs. Only long effect affect on the understandability of MESMEs in presenting the financial statement.

In the past decade, advanced technologies in robotics have been explored to enhance the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Previous works have shown that gait assistance for post-stroke patients can be provided through the use of robotics technology in ancillary equipment, such as Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO). An AFO is usually used to assist patients with spasticity or foot drop problems. There are several types of AFOs, depending on the flexibility of the joint, such as rigid, flexible rigid, and articulated AFOs. A rigid AFO has a fixed joint, and a flexible rigid AFO has a more flexible joint, while the articulated AFO has a freely rotating ankle joint, where the mechanical properties of the AFO are more controllable compared to the other two types of AFOs. This paper reviews the control of the mechanical properties of existing AFOs for gait assistance in post-stroke patients. Several aspects that affect the control of the mechanical properties of an AFO, such as the controller input, number of gait phases, controller output reference, and controller performance evaluation are discussed and compared. Thus, this paper will be of interest to AFO researchers or developers who would like to design their own AFOs with the most suitable mechanical properties based on their application. The controller input and the number of gait phases are discussed first. Then, the discussion moves forward to the methods of estimating the controller output reference, which is the main focus of this study. Based on the estimation method, the gait control strategies can be classified into subject-oriented estimations and phase-oriented estimations. Finally, suggestions for future studies are addressed, one of which is the application of the adaptive controller output reference to maximize the benefits of the AFO to users.
