2024-04-02T02:46:37+00:00

The urgency of providing renewable energy has escalated due to the depletion of fossil fuel resources.
Lombok Island exhibits significant geothermal energy potential, particularly in the vicinity of Mount
Rinjani, known as the Sembalun prospect. Despite previous research efforts indicating this potential,
detailed mapping necessary for exploration has been lacking. This study employs geomagnetic surveys
conducted by the University of Mataram since 2004, complemented by remote sensing techniques, to
precisely identify geothermal hotspots in the Sembalun prospect. Geomagnetic ground measurements
were taken at 138 points, while Landsat 8 satellite imagery was utilized to determine land surface
temperature and vegetation indices. The results reveal three negative geomagnetic anomaly closures
coinciding with areas of sparse vegetation and high surface temperatures, covering approximately 6.5
km^2 in Sembalun Bumbung, Sembalun Lawang, and Sajang villages. These findings suggest
substantial geothermal potential suitable for direct use, particularly in supporting agricultural and
tourism sectors. Further refinement through integration with gravity data is recommended for a
comprehensive subsurface interpretation.

2024-04-02T02:58:07+00:00

Electrical energy is a primary need at this time. In Indonesia itself, there are still several areas that still have problems with electricity supply. There is a need for innovation related to alternative energy to help overcome problems related to electrical energy. Pico hydro power plants are an alternative. The Piko Hydro Power Plant is a plant designed on a small scale and using hydropower. This research is about the design of a pico-hydro power plant, as well as strategies for seeking optimization of haversting and energy efficiency so that the energy produced from a pico-hydro power plant is more effective and maximizes its use, whether used for street lighting or other purposes. In this research, genetic algorithm solutions are used. A genetic algorithm is an optimization method that searches for a certain value of several parameters with the principle that only the best solution can survive and produce quality offspring. Where the genetic algorithm utilizes a natural selection process known as the evolutionary process. In the process of evolution, individuals continuously experience changes in their genes to adapt to their environment. The selection of the genetic algorithm in this research was deemed appropriate to adjust existing conditions. The pico hydro design uses a cross flow turbine. A cross-flow turbine is a small pressure turbine whose injection is tangential to the rotation of the channel about a horizontal axis. Therefore, research is interested in examining this matter, namely entitled "Pycohydro Design Strategy in seeking optimization of haversting and potential energy efficiency using genetic algorithms". The results of this research are from several data entered into the data processing software, namely the program is able to identify the calculation results of the parameter values entered and find out which data or calculations are efficient to use for the construction of pico hydro power plants. From the two data taken in different seasons, parameters were input, namely water discharge, height difference, turbine and generator along with the calculated values in these parameters. The results obtained were that data collection in the rainy season was more efficient because the water discharge was abundant and with sufficient irrigation flow, pico-hydro development could be carried out.

2024-04-02T02:07:56+00:00

Water quality is very influential on the success of baby catfish farming. Temperature and turbidity are parameters of water quality, therefore farmers have been maintaining the quality of pond water by changing pond water regularly. Much weakness arise from how to maintain water quality so far, some of which are the lack of mobility of farmers and the parameters of pond water content cannot be known. To overcome these problems, a management system of pond water can be made. With this management system, farmers can control pond water drainage based on data that is read by the sensor, to maintain pond water quality according to predetermined parameter values. In this study the microcontroller uses fuzzy logic with input values of temperature sensors and turbidity sensors, the output of this system is a solenoid valve which functions as a regulator of pool water drainage, and the amount of water volume that must be replaced can be known by installing a water flow sensor. With the application of fuzzy logic, it can maintain water quality with a temperature value fluctuation range of 2.5 °C and a turbidity fluctuation range of 14 NTU. With the system that has been created, farmers can manage pond water easily and can find out the value of pond water quality parameters.

Various studies have been conducted to discover non-pharmacological alternative therapies for mental health disorders such as depression caused by prolonged stress. One function of Peppermint essential oil (PEO) as aromatherapy is to improve mental function and reduce stress. This research objective is to clarify the effectiveness of PEO to balance of brain-body connection. We used rats as animal experiment and using PEO inhalation to explore its potential as an alternative antidepressant therapy, measured by electrocardiogram monitoring using a Wireless Mice Electrocardiogram (WIM ECG) to analyze its impact on the cardiac electrophysiological parameters. Twenty-five male Wistar rats (180-200 g) were divided into five treatment groups: (1) aquadest; (2) 16 µl/h; (3) 40 µl; (4) 80 µl/h; and (5) fluoxetine 14 mg/kg (positive control). All treatment groups were induced with acute restraint stress for 90 minutes along with inhalation process and electrocardiogram monitoring was conducted during the treatment. The result showed, administration of PEO significantly influenced certain cardiac electrophysiological parameters similar to fluoxetine compared to vehicle treatment. Inhalation of 80 µl/h PEO had consistent results that significantly affected the RR interval and heart rate since minutes 30, similar to the result observed with fluoxetine compared to the vehicle (p<0.05). Based on these findings, 80 µl/h PEO indicated an antidepressant effect based on the increased duration of the RR interval and the reduction in the number of heart rate (bpm) after PEO inhalation.

UNRAVELING ANXIETY: A QUR’ANIC MAQASID APPROACH

2024-11-19T03:02:22+00:00

Anxiety disorder stands as a prevalent mental health challenge, significantly impacting global well-being. Divergent perspectives on anxiety exist, rooted in Western and Islamic ideologies. Freud's exploration linked childhood desires with anxiety, positing it as a defensive mechanism. In contrast, Al-Ghazali conceptualized anxiety as a mental ailment stemming from the heart's conditions. This paper seeks to elucidate anxiety through the lens of the Qur’anic Maqasid Approach, treating anxiety as a systemic phenomenon. Employing the Maqasid Approach involves a holistic examination, grounding the understanding of variables in a systematic philosophical framework. This method meticulously analyzes Qur’anic verses pertaining to a specific domain, exploring their original Arabic semantics and interconnections. Within the Qur’an, 40 verses reference "khauf." The Qur’anic depiction of "khauf" involves negative anticipations of the future accompanied by discernible physical manifestations. Thus, this paper endeavors to uncover the essence of anxiety through the Qur’anic Maqasid Approach, shedding light on its intricate dimensions.

2024-11-19T03:29:15+00:00

Corruption is a global problem that affects both rich and poor countries. Its consequences range from hindering economic growth to undermining public trust in governments. In the case of Indonesia, corruption has led to significant losses for the state, resulting in reduced funding for public services and a decline in public confidence. A recent study examined the relationship between corruption, ethical standards, and public welfare in Indonesia using data from 2004 to 2021. The findings revealed that adherence to ethical norms among state officials is crucial in combating corruption. The study also stressed the importance of political ethics, emphasizing the need for power to be exercised in accordance with the law, democracy, and moral principles. Additionally, the data demonstrated a correlation between corruption levels and poverty rates, with a decrease in corruption perception followed by an increase in poverty, particularly in the year 2020, which was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

HUSBAND SUPPORT ON BREASTFEEDING SELF-EFFICACY POST SECTIO CAESAREA

2024-11-19T04:12:36+00:00

The role of husband support in nursing self-efficacy in mothers after sectio caesarean section is investigated in this article. Three kinds of support are under emphasis, emotional, instrumental, and instructional help provided by spouses. The results indicate that while husbands usually provide emotional and physical support, they are less likely to offer valuable advice on nursing techniques, problem solving strategies, or breast milk production. The support of a mother's husband greatly enhances her confidence in nursing, fostering both physical recovery and breast development in their successful nursing endeavors. The theory of self-efficacy in nursing holds that mothers who practice exclusive nursing for longer periods of time and have more confidence often produce better results. Mothers who undergo post-section caesarean sections often experience increased psychological and physical discomfort, which can negatively impact their nursing performance. Thus, consistent and thorough help from husbands is crucial to empower these mothers, supporting their psychological well-being, and encouraging long-term breastfeeding success. This study emphasizes the need for spousal participation in improving nursing outcomes and implies that targeted educational interventions for husbands could improve their ability to support their partners properly.
