Utilizing natural waste materials to decolorize synthetic and natural dyes offers a promising solution for mitigating environmental pollution. The adsorption isotherms and decolorization kinetics of curcumin onto Pondoh snake fruit seed (PSFS) biochar were predicted using ten isotherm models and the Generalized Fulazzaky (GF) equations, respectively, providing insights into the behavioral characteristics of the adsorption process. Simulations using the Harkin-Jura model demonstrated a good fit, with R ² values exceeding 0.6909 across PSFS biochar granular sizes of 13.65, 25.49, and 65.13 μm, indicating capillary condensation and multilayer adsorption, which validates the GF equations’ applicability. Applying the GF equations to adsorption kinetics simulations showed that declining external mass transfer (EMT) rates were offset by increasing internal mass transfer (IMT) rates. The increase in IMT rates ([ k L a ] d < 0.0 min −1 ) was less pronounced than the decrease in EMT rates ([ k L a ] f > 0.0 min −1 ), suggesting IMT governs curcumin adsorption’s rate-limiting step. PSFS biochar with an average granular size of 25.49 μm proved most effective for decolorizing 100 mg L −1 curcumin, exhibiting a global mass transfer rate range of 0.0020 to 0.0079 min −1 . Utilizing PSFS biochar for curcumin removal contributes to sustainable environmental remediation by advancing green technologies and informing dye effluent management strategies.

The pressure in the hydraulic ram pump increases due to a sudden cessation of flow out through the waste valve when the waste valve is closing. The increasing of water hammer pressure is strongly influenced by velocity of the water flow in the drive pipe. Therefore, the waste valve has an important role in mechanism of the occurrence of water hammer pressure, performance, and flow patterns in the hydraulic ram pump. This study investigated the water hammer pressure and the flow patterns in the hydraulic ram pump that has been installed at Bon sub-village, as well as its performance at various strokes of the waste valve. In addition, CFD simulation using Ansys Fluent was conducted. The result show that increasing stroke of the waste valve increase the water velocity in the drive pipe and the water hammer pressure, and the optimum of the waste valve stroke has been predicted subject to volumetric and total efficiency using the equation of their trendlines. Furthermore, the flow patterns such as vortex, split flow, and blockage mass in the hydraulic ram pump have been identified.

Human health/socioeconomic development is closely correlated to environmental pollution, highlighting the need to monitor contaminants in the real environment with reliable devices such as biosensors. Recently, variety of biosensors gained high attention and employed as application, in real-time, and cost-effective analytical tools for healthy environment. For continuous environmental monitoring, it is necessary for portable, cost-effective, quick, and flexible biosensing devices. These benefits of the biosensor strategy are related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN), especially with reference to clean water and sources of energy. However, the relationship between SDGs and biosensor application for environmental monitoring is not well understood. In addition, some limitations and challenges might hinder the biosensor application on environmental monitoring. Herein, we reviewed the different types of biosensors, principle and applications, and their correlation with SDG 6, 12, 13, 14, and 15 as a reference for related authorities and administrators to consider. In this review, biosensors for different pollutants such as heavy metals and organics were documented. The present study highlights the application of biosensor for achieving SDGs.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of job satisfaction, motivation, Transformational leadership, work on jobs and teachers’ performance of vocational schools. This research uses quantitative methods to test and prove the hypotheses that have been made through various tests and data processing. The research hypothesis testing was carried out by using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach based on Partial Least Square (PLS). The population used in this study is vocational schools’ teachers in Pati Central Java, Indonesia. The number of respondents in this study is 110 respondents of vocational teachers who have worked at least 1 years in their schools, data obtained from the distribution of online questionnaires with snowball sampling method. Based on the results of hypothesis testing data processing using SmartPLS software, the results obtained that job satisfaction, motivation, job satisfaction, transformational leadership, work environment has a positive and significant effect on teachers’ performance of vocational schools.

Groundwater use for irrigation requires high costs because it requires additional charges in digging wells, pumping units, and operators. In addition, the water flow that can be taken was limited according to the groundwater potential and pump capacity. Therefore, the critical information before pumping groundwater for irrigation is to know the potential of groundwater. Groundwater potential can be predicted based on aquifer description and saturated hydraulic conductivity with pumping test. The data was used to determine groundwater discharge as groundwater potential at the research site as a basis for determining the area that can be irrigated. The research was conducted by interpreting lithological data to determine the description of the aquifer, conducting continuous pumping tests to determine the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, determining the groundwater potential using Darcy's approach, and determining the optimal area that can be irrigated based on the groundwater potential and groundwater needs of rice. The results showed that the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was 16.30 m/d which indicated that the aquifer was sandy. The groundwater potential in the study area is about 509.38 l/s, can irrigate rice fields of 489.79 ha, and for one well, it can irrigate about 1.5 ha in conditions without rain.
