Daya beli rendah terhadap bahan bakar, menyebabkan masyarakat di Desa Laikaaha, Kecamatan Ranomeeto, Kabupaten Konawe Selatan, Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara, harus merambah hutan sekitar untuk kayu bakar. Diperlukan sosialisasi dan edukasi tentang pentingnya mencari bahan bakar alternatif yang murah dan tidak merusak lingkungan. Salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan limbah biomassa menjadi briket arang. Tujuan sosialisasi dan edukasi adalah agar masyarakat Desa Laikaaha memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam pembuatan briket sebagai energi alternatif, dan terciptanya kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya kelestarian hutan bagi lingkungan. Metode yang digunakan adalah observasi lokasi, identifikasi permasalahan, sosialisasi terhadap solusi permasalahan, demonstrasi pembuatan briket, dan pelatihan pembuatan briket kepada masyarakat. Dengan kegiatan ini, masyarakat lebih memahami tentang pentingnya menjaga kelestarian lingkungan serta dapat memanfaatkan limbah biomassa yang menjadi permasalahan di lokasi tersebut dengan cara mengubahnya menjadi bahan bakar alternatif dalam bentuk briket arang

Topological Changes in the Functional Brain Networks Induced by Isometric Force Exertions Using a Graph Theoretical Approach: An EEG-based Neuroergonomics Study

Neuroergonomics, the application of neuroscience to human factors and ergonomics, is an emerging science focusing on the human brain concerning performance at work and in everyday settings. The advent of portable neurophysiological methods, including electroencephalography (EEG), has enabled measurements of real-time brain activity during physical tasks without restricting body movements. However, the EEG signatures of different physical exertion activity levels that involve the musculoskeletal system in everyday settings remain poorly understood. Furthermore, the assessment of functional connectivity among different brain regions during different force exertion levels remains unclear. One approach to investigating the brain connectome is to model the underlying mechanism of the brain as a complex network. This study applied employed a graph-theoretical approach to characterize the topological properties of the functional brain network induced by predefined force exertion levels, namely extremely light (EL), light (L), somewhat hard (SWH), hard (H), and extremely hard (EH) in two frequency bands, i.e., alpha and beta. Twelve female participants performed an isometric force exertion task and rated their perception of physical comfort at different physical exertion levels. A CGX-Mobile-64 EEG was used for recording spontaneous brain electrical activity. After preprocessing the EEG data, a source localization method was applied to study the functional brain connectivity at the source level. Subsequently, the alpha and beta networks were constructed by calculating the coherence between all pairs of 84 brain regions of interests that were selected using Brodmann Areas. Graph -theoretical measures were then employed to quantify the topological properties of the functional brain networks at different levels of force exertions at each frequency band. During an \u27extremely hard\u27 exertion level, a small-world network was observed for the alpha coherence network, whereas an ordered network was observed for the beta coherence network. The results suggest that high-level force exertions are associated with brain networks characterized by a more significant clustering coefficient, more global and local efficiency, and shorter characteristic path length under alpha coherence. The above suggests that brain regions are communicating and cooperating to a more considerable degree when the muscle force exertions increase to meet physically challenging tasks. The exploration of the present study extends the current understanding of the neurophysiological basis of physical efforts with different force levels of human physical exertion to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders

KEMAMPUAN GURU PAUD DALAM MEMBACA AL-QURAN DI KABUPATEN GAYO LUES

Kemampuan membaca Al-Qur’an merupakan salah satu keteladanan dalam mengembangkan aspek agama anak. Berdasarkan observasi awal terhadap kemampuan guru PAUD tingkat Kabupaten Gayo Lues dalam membaca Al-Qur’an masih sangat kurang, baik dari segi kemampuan; mengenal huruf, hukum tajwid, maupun tartil. Tiga indikator tersebut menjadi perhatian khusus bagi guru dalam kemampuan membaca Al-Quran untuk mengembangkan aspek agama anak. Sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan guru PAUD dalam membaca Al-Qur’an di Kabupaten Gayo Lues. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan lembaran wawancara dan dokumentasi hasil tes bacaan Al-Quran sebagai instrumen penelitian. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 30 guru (tes baca Al-Qur’an) dan 12 guru (wawancara). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru PAUD perlu perhatian khusus dalam membaca Al-Qur’an, dimana kemampuan tartil diperoleh 16.66 % (5 guru). Selain itu guru perlu pembinaan dalam tahsin huruf dan tajwid dimana data ditemukan bahwa 46,66 % (14 guru) dapat melafadhkan huruf dengan benar dan 30 % (9 guru) mampu membaca Al-Qur’an dengan tajwid yang benar. Berdasarkan data tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa kemampuan guru PAUD Gayo Lues dalam membaca Al-Quran masih perlu peningkatan baik dari segi membaca huruf, ilmu tajwid, maupun kemampuan bacaan Al-Qur’an dengan tartil. Kemampuan mengenal huruf dan tajwid serta aplikasi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dapat menghasilkan kemampuan tartil

INTRODUCTION TO PRAYER MOVEMENTS: EFFECTIVENESS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL TEACHING AIDS AT AL-RAHMAH SUBULUSSALAM KINDERGARTEN, ACEH

Prayer is an important act of worship that must be introduced from an early age. Based on initial observations at TKN Al-Rahmah, children are not yet able to recognize prayer movements well, because the introduction does not use interesting props. So this research aims to determine whether or not the introduction of prayer movements using two-dimensional teaching aids at TKN is effective. Experimental type quantitative research with a one-group pretest-posttest design was carried out on 20 class B children as samples and used observation and documentation sheets for data collection. Data analysis has proven that the pre-test score is 46% and the post-test 70.25%. So the results of the hypothesis test showed that the tcount ˃ttable is 78.22 ˃ 1.729, meaning that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. Based on these data, it can be concluded that the use of two-dimensional teaching aids is effective in introducing prayer movements to children at TKN PKK Al-Rahmah Subulussalam

Evaluation of Fermentation Conditions by Candidatropicalis for Xylitol Production from Sago Trunk Cortex.

Xylitol production from sago trunk cortex hydrolysate using Candida tropicalis was evaluated in shake flasks and a bioreactor. The fermentation and kinetic behaviours of this microorganism were investigated using sago trunk cortex hydrolysate and commercial xylose as substrate. Results obtained for sago trunk hydrolysate were close to the commercial xylose with xylitol yield of 0.82 gg-1 and productivity of 0.39 gL-1h-1. The maximum specific growth rate, µmax for sago trunk cortex was higher (0.24 h-1) compared to commercial xylose (0.17 h-1). The bioreactor study showed an increase of about 6% (w/v) of xylitol concentration and 10% (v/v) of volumetric productivity when compared to the results obtained under the shake flasks, keeping xylitol yield above 0.8 g g-1

A neuro-fuzzy approach for stator resistance estimation of induction motor = pendekatan neuro-fuzzy untuk meramal rintangan stator pada motor induksi

During the operation of induction motor, stator resistance changes incessantly with the temperature of the working machine. This situation may cause an error in rotor resistance estimation of the same magnitude and will produce an error between the actual and estimated motor torque which can leads to motor breakdown in worst cases. Therefore, this project will propose an approach to estimate the changes of induction motor stator resistance using neuro-fuzzy. Then, it will be compared with conventional method like P1 estimator to see the effectiveness. The behaviour of the induction machine will be analyzed when the stator resistance is changed. Based on the changes, a corrective procedure will be applied to ensure the stabilities of the induction motor. Generally, this project can be divided into three main parts which are design of induction motor, design of neuro-fuzzy and PT estimator, and corrective procedure for the induction machine. The Newcastle Drives Simulation Library will be used to design the induction motor model and MATLAB SIMULINK will be used to design the stator current observer. The neuro-fuzzy estimator will be designed based on Sugeno Method Fuzzy Inference System
