Analysis of physical progress is useful for knowing project conditions and avoiding potential delays in construction projects. Analysis in this study aims to evaluate physical progress and estimate the completion time of structure works of Integrated Building Classroom State University of Malang (GKB UM) by integrating Earned Value Management and Artificial Neural Network. The results showed that the cumulative physical progress of the structural work was delayed by 24 weeks. The delay in loading test bored pile due to weather, damage to the tower crane and concrete pump tools, mobilization of tools and design changes to the superstructure were some of the problems encountered during the process of building structure works on GKB UM. The Artificial Neural Network model produces a small deviation between the predicted and the actual physical progress and suitable for estimating project completion.

Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) technology has been applied in both lab and pilot scales to actual size since 1993. Recently, sustainable measures for EKR have been relatively considered a form of minimizing resource use during land restoration. This study aims to identify the environmental footprint assessment tools that arise during the EKR process according to the scale of the application. 284 scientific literature indexed by Scopus and the Web of Science during 2011-2021 was analyzed using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, and the results were visualized using the VOSviewer application. The investigated parameters included the amount of scientific literature, year of publication, topics of scientific literature, authors of literature and their country of origin, names of reputable journals, and a number of citations. Research results from 43 scientific literature studies show that different environmental footprint analyses in EKR have been applied in various parts of the world. Most of environmental footprint assessment tools used by researchers include life cycle assessment (LCA) and green and sustainable remediation (GSR) tools. A recommendation is given to the GSR tools developed by the US EPA because known to have the simplest analytical method compared to other methods.

Wearable sensors are devices used in the diagnostic process for real-time health monitoring systems. Types of sensors are generally based on physical sensors and chemical sensors. However, the types of wearable sensors that are largely commercialized are limited to physical sensors. Some diagnostic processes generally use the blood collecting method to determine a patient’s condition. However, this method can cause adverse effects such as infection, pain, and bruising for some patients. Chemical-based wearable sensors are capable of detecting metabolic conditions in the body and can be an alternative to the existing method. Based on an approach using alternative analytes, sweat is the most frequently used because it is highly accessible and proceeds good parameters compared to the blood. Several studies related to wearable sensors using sweat have been done to increase convenience during the sampling process. Electrochemical, biosensor, and hybrid with several sampling methods, including microfluidic system, absorbent material, superhydrophobic-super hydrophilic surface, and iontophoresis, can be used for wearable sensor analysis method. Over the past decade, the characteristics of wearable sensors (i.e., selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and response time), textile materials, and biofuel cell technology for self-powered sensor development have also increased. From these classifications, it can be concluded that the method which is highly feasible to be developed is electrochemical wearable sensors that combine microfluidic and iontophoresis systems. The system is also expected to have stretchable material and is equipped with an integrated biofuel cell system that has the potential to be developed in our upcoming research topic.

Project is a set of interrelated activities and requires skills from different professions, and also project is involved the various of stakeholders in each phase of the Project Life Cycle. Implementation of Green Supply Chain in construction projects meant to bring the concept of eco-friendly in every process from the initiation phase, planning phase, the construction phase, and the operation and maintenance phase. It is necessary to identify indicators of green initiation and green design and how to explain the relationship between the role of initiation by the owner and the design process by a design consultant. This study aims to identify the indicators of green initiation and green design concept as part of Green Supply Chain. The method used for this study is a descriptive research that identifies and develop a framework for implementing green initiation and green design in construction industry that consists of concept, dimensions, elements, and indicators. GSCM in construction projects was determined by 9 indicators in the green initiation phase and 40 indicators in the green design phase. The success of green concept in construction project is very determined from these two phases as the beginning of the process, and the most important parties are the owners and design consultants.

This study proposes a new method in an electroencephalograph (EEG)-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) that can directly utilize brain signals to control external devices. The motor Imagery (MI) signal, which contains an image of a certain limb movement, is generally used in BCI. It does not need direct movements. The implementation of MI-EEG signal into BCI still experiences major issues because the patterns obtained for each recording can vary from one another even though they have the same type of motion. In this study, we utilized the Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) method to decompose the EEG signal into specific sub-band frequencies and Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) as a spatial filter to increase the spatial resolution of the EEG signal. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was subsequently selected for training from the classifier. Next, the results of the training were used to classify the movements of the given MI-EEG. We evaluated the model using dataset 2a from Brain-Computer Interface Competition (BCIC) IV. The results of this method showed the increase in the accuracy of 32% and in Kappa up to 0.42 and the decrease in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) up to 1.21, compared with only using CNN as the classifier. These results showed fairly good performance compared to other methods used previously in dataset 2a from BCIC IV.

Purpose: Ponticulus posticus (PP) is a variation of the bone bridge that appears in the first cervical vertebra and through which the vertebral artery passes. Odontoid fractures are common spinal bone fractures in older people. This study aims to investigate the effect of neck movements on the odontoid and transverse atlantal ligament (TAL) of people with PP variation from a biomechanical ***: C1, C2, and C3 vertebrae of the occipital bone were analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). In this study, solid models were created with the help of normal (N), incomplete (IC), and asymmetric complete (AC) PP tomography images. The necessary elements for the models were assigned, and the material properties were defined for the elements. As boundary conditions, models were fixed from the C3 vertebra, and 74 N loading was applied from the occipital bone. Stress and deformation values in the odontoid and transverse atlantal ligament were obtained by applying 1.8 Nm moment in flexion, extension, bending, and axial rotation ***: As a result of this study, the stress and deformation values of all three models in odontoid and TAL were obtained, and numerical results were evaluated. In all models, stress and deformation values were obtained in decreasing order in rotation, bending, extension, and flexion movements. The highest stress and strain values were obtained in AC and the lowest in N. In all movements of the three models, the stress and deformation values obtained in the TAL are lower than in ***: The greatest stresses and deformations obtained in spines (AC) with PP were found in the odontoid. This may help explain the pathogenesis of odontoid fractures in older people. First, this study explains the mechanism of formation of neck trauma in people with PP and the need for a more careful evaluation of the direction of arrival. Secondly, the study shows that the rotational motion of the neck independent of PP has more negative ef

Concrete has high compression strength but low tensile strength. Therefore fibers are added to enhance the tensile strength. South Kalimantan is one of Indonesia's largest wetlands, and the banana tree is common in this area. After harvesting, they are accumulated or be burned, causing pollution. Utilizing banana tree waste as fiber in the concrete minimizes it. This paper investigated the effect of banana fiber length and percentage of fiber by volume fraction on the compressive of mortar, tensile, and compressive concrete strength. The correlation between the compressive and tensile strength was further established. The percentage of fiber used in this research was 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%, and the length of the fiber was 7cm and 15cm. The results showed that the addition of banana fiber significantly improved the mechanical properties of mortar and concrete. The compressive strength of mortar with a fiber length of 7cm was higher than 15cm. The higher percentage of fiber causes the lower compressive strength of mortar. The compressive strength of fiber-reinforced concrete was 27.9 MPa, and the ordinary concrete was only 17.91 MPa. The tensile strength of fiber-reinforced concrete was 6.96 MPa, while the ordinary concrete was just 1.93 MPa.
