The characterization of mechanical behaviour on kenaf fibre / polypropylene composites

Global demand for wood plastic composite (WPC) has increased due to the increase of population and latest applications primarily in Malaysia industry today such as decking, chair and ceiling. However, the current WPC is worth investigating since such materials can be explored by enhancing their strength and quality through the treatment method. The objective of this study is to identify the effect of alkaline treatment on kenaf fibre in WPC system, to investigate the highest strength of kenaf fibre loading on mechanical properties in WPC, and to evaluate the morphology characteristics from fracture specimens related to the mechanical testing via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Specimen was fabricated via injection moulding and hydraulic hot press using kenaf fibre (KF) as filler and polypropylene (PP) as the matrix. A tensile test was carried out to determine the tensile stress of the material. The result revealed treated specimen possesses high tensile stress at 5 wt.% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) compared to 10 wt.% and 20 wt.%. The optimum tensile stress was at 40 wt.% KF (5 wt.% NaOH, 5 wt.% MAPP) with the value 21.38 MPa. Flexural test was carried out on untreated and treated KF which is pure PP, 10 wt.% KF, and 20 wt.% KF by weight to PP. The result of flexural stress showed treated specimen lead better flexural at 20 wt.% PP/KF (5 wt.% NaOH) with 30.25 MPa. Meanwhile 40 wt.% KF (5 wt.% MAPP) give high fatigue life cycles at all stress level 90 %, 80 %, 70 %, 60 % and 50 % as the specimen structure less damage was induced during fatigue test. SEM is used to observe the morphological characteristics of PP/KF. The good interfacial bonding between KF and PP is 5 wt.% NaOH due of less impurities and lignin content. Overall 5 wt. % NaOH with 40 wt.% PP/KF (5 wt.% MAPP) showed the best result and it is worth to replace the current kenaf fibre polymer composites product

MEMBUMIKAN AL-QUR’AN DAN SHOLAWAT (STUDI KASUS ORANG TUA USIA LANJUT DESA HAMBUKU HULU)

The Covid-19 pandemic is a problem in a country starting from the Wuhan area of China, which spreads so quickly and is deadly. Covid-19 is very easy to transmit, therefore it is important to keep the immune system strong so as not to get sick easily during this pandemic. In response to this, the government recommends the public to take vaccinations to prevent being infected with covid-19 and take Vitamin C and other antibiotic drugs, to increase immunity. Whereas in Islamic teachings the Qur'an has been revealed which is said to be an antidote or medicine. The benefits of the Qur'an and sholawat include getting peace of mind, being given intelligence and of course a cure for all diseases. So, Allah Almighty commands frequent prayers and reads and studies the Qur'an more often because the Qur'an serves as the main source of Islamic teachings and the way of life of Muslims. This research uses quantitative methods with the type of case study research, data collection techniques carried out in the form of observation, distribution of questionnaires and documentation. The results of the study when the community was fighting the covid-19 pandemic by consuming vitamins for a strong immune system. However, there are some parents who are still healthy and fit and doing well. After being investigated, the elderly parents have their own practice, namely often grounding the Qur'an and multiplying prayers

Location Based Reminder System: L-Minder System

A reminder plays an important role in every day life for everyone. People use various methods to remind themselves about daily tasks, events, meetings and etc. For example they use to-do list, stick notes, and date-time reminders in mobile phone. This research focuses on the development of location based reminder, a method of reminding people deployed on mobile phones. It implements the concept of context-aware in ubiquitous and is supported by location detection by GSMtechnologies. The project, L-Minder, will be an upgraded version of the existing time and date based reminder because of the location awareness and context awareness. The reminder will remind the users about the daily tasks, events, meetings and etc based on the desired location at which these events or tasks needed to be performed. Intensive research and literature review had been done in order to obtain as much useful information data to develop the project. Surveys had been done over a specific group of users to obtain dataon preferences, dislikes and other important information regarding the development of the system.

PENGARUH VOLUME LALU LINTAS TERHADAP TINGKAT KBISINGAN PADA JALAN Dr. SOETOMO

An uproar is the hopeless voice and this voice disturbs people, even, in several cases it can cause an accident. Hospital is one of public facilities that is used for caring, improving and giving treatment to human’s health.  PROF DR, Tabrani Rab hospitals serve many patients with variant of illnesses. It means that there will be many patients that are cared in these hospitals. A patient, of course, needs calm and quiet condition for getting treatment his illness. On the other hand, the location of the three hospitals above is near the traffic road, therefore they get impact from the traffic current in those roads, namely; an uproar. According to Slater (1985), the counting of uproar caused by traffic current can be counted by applying the following formula: L10 18h = 29,1 + 10 log Q dBA or L10 = 42,2 + 10 log Q dBA. The highest level of uproar is 73 dB(A) that happens, meanwhile the lowest level of uproar is 66 dB(A) that happens in hospital. In accordance with the rule of Environmental Ministry, the level of uproar in hospital should not be more than 55 dB(A). It means that the location of the three hospitals in Pekanbaru does not fulfill the requiement for activities related with health. Therefore, they must reduce the voice sources that can meke uproar

BADAN OTORITA IBU KOTA NUSANTARA DITINJAU BERDASARKAN UNDANG-UNDANG DASAR NEGARA REPUBLIK INDONESIA TAHUN 1945

Indonesia's decision to move the country's capital outside the island of Java, namely Penajam Pasir Utama, East Kalimantan and parts of Kutai Kartanegara in East Kalimantan as locations for the construction of the new capital of the Re-public of Indonesia aims to accelerate the reduction of inequality and increase regional economic growth outside Java, especially the eastern region of Indonesia. . The legal basis for the capital of the archipelago is regulated through Law Num-ber 3 of 2022. However, there are quite a lot of questionable articles in this Law. Both regarding the special autonomy status applied to the capital of the archipel-ago, the body of the authority of the capital of the archipelago which is not recog-nized in the constitution, the procedures for selecting and appointing the head/deputy of the authority of the capital of the archipelago which violates dem-ocratic values, because the appointment is not made by election through the vote of the people . Another interesting thing is that the regional government specifi-cally for the capital of the archipelago is only organized by the National Capital Authority of the Archipelago without the existence of a Regional People's Repre-sentative Council as applies to regional forms of government in general, as well as several other issues. This is a dynamic in a democratic rule of law state. So, in order to remain obedient to the constitution and to maintain the quality of de-mocracy in Indonesia, it is necessary to reorganize the legislation of Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning National Capital in order to avoid problems that are clearly confusing which appear to be on the surface in terms of regulations so that in the future it does not have a major impact on progress of Indonesian democracy
