Mining in the world consists of modern and traditional mining. Various studies have discussed how field workers were precarious at being exposed to Covid-19 in modern mining. Many studies discuss ways of modern mines overcoming Covid-19, but discussion of research related to the impacts of Covid-19 on traditional mining has not been carried out. This study addressed the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on traditional oil mining in Wonocolo, Bojonegoro Regency. This work is a descriptive study using observation and in-depth interviews and reviewing secondary data related to conventional mining activities. The results showed that the Covid-19 pandemic has an indirect effect on traditional oil mining activities in Wonocolo. The pandemic caused a decrease in demand, a drop in selling prices, lower production, and temporary closure of wells in Wonocolo traditional mining. In contrast, Covid-19 did not directly affect miners' activities since the miners believed that Covid-19 could not infect them due to the very extreme condition in the mining area that the Coronavirus would not survive.

Climate change affects the thermal performance of buildings. A building's thermal performance is influenced by its envelopes, such as roof, wall, and floor. A different building envelope may create a different thermal condition which may also influence its occupants' comfort. This research aims at analyzing the residential thermal performance at the tropical highland areas by examining the deviation between the outer and inner space's air temperature and humidity. The research employed a quantitative method by measuring the air temperature and humidity for 24 hours which were recorded every one hour. There were 15 houses with various building envelope materials as the samples. Since highland has colder air temperature, the differences between thermal variables of the outer and inner space's of the residentials were observed to figure out the longest warming. The warming process is associated with the occupants' thermal comfort standards. The results showed there are two types of residential producing the longest warming (23 hours) which in accordance with the occupants' thermal comfort standards. The first type is the house enveloped with roof tiles, wooden walls, and an earthen floor, while the second one is a residential house enveloped with a zinc roof, exposed stone walls, and an earthen floor.

With the fast development of the global economy and population, there has been an increase in the amount of wastewater and industrial effluents being discharged into rivers and lakes, resulting in deterioration of water quality and a reduction in the availability of freshwater resources. A comprehensive discussion of the topic of Industrial Wastewater Treatment Integrated for Sustainable Green Industry 4.0, including the difficulties and possible solutions that may be encountered along the way, is provided in this article. According to the results of this study, industrial wastewater treatment that uses online/real-time water for quality monitoring and control has shown great promise in terms of quality monitoring and control when utilizing online/real-time water. Implementing such a system in industrial wastewater treatment may offer an early warning system for poor treatment while increasing the quantity and quality of the end product, both of which are desired outcomes.

The Garang watershed composed by three main river streams has been managed by the Regional water company of the Semarang city, Central Java for drinking water supply. A river is often polluted by domestic waste and industrial effluents. Therefore water quality of the river should be keep to meet the Government regulation standard. The study aims to analyze water quality of the Garang' river using pollution index based on the government regulation. Series data from 2010 to 2016 were derived from the Environmental and Forestry Office of the Central Java Province and sampling of water quality was taken in August 2017 from the middle of watershed area. Water quality parameters include temperature, pH, TDS, DO, COD, Phosphate, Nitrate, Chromium, Copper, Cadmium and H2S. The research indicates that concentration of Copper has exceeds the standard of the Government Regulation No. 82 Year 2001. The water pollution index is 1.23, its means that the river is lightly polluted. Therefore the river should be managed comprehensively for sustainable uses in order to create one river one management concept.

Macular pigments (MP), which consist of lutein and zeaxanthin, have antioxidant capabilities and are widely used in eye healthcare. However, few studies have focused on the protective mechanisms of MP against diabetes mellitus. In addition, the advantages of MP produced by microalgae include non-competition with grains for land, year-round harvesting, and rapid growth. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the MP produced and extracted from the microalga Chlorella sp. AT1 and assess its impact on mitigating retinopathy and atherosclerotic damage in diabetic apolipoprotein E -deficient mice (ApoE −/− ) subjected to high-fat diet and streptozotocin treatment. The results showed that the major components of MP were lutein and zeaxanthin in a 5:1 ratio. MP supplementation significantly reduced glucose tolerance and insulin resistance by 25 and 41 %, respectively, in comparison to the diabetic group. MP supplementation resulted in the moderation of various inflammatory cytokines and lowered the serum levels of disease markers in comparison to the control group. In addition, the expression levels of cellular antioxidant enzymes were significantly elevated, aligning with a reduction in lipid peroxidation after MP supplementation, in comparison to the diabetic group. Pathological changes in the outer nuclear layer and aortic plaques in diabetic ApoE −/− mice were significantly alleviated by MP supplementation. In summary, microalgal MP alleviated the symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the diabetic ApoE −/− mice. Consequently, MP holds the potential to serve as a beneficial ingredient in healthy food, contributing to biological efficacy by scavenging free radicals and stabilizing blood glucose levels.

The effect of muffler mounting on LAPAN Surveillance UAV-02 (LSU-02) engine noise has been investigated. In the propulsion laboratory, the LSU-02 engine was tested by varying the throttle setting so that the propeller rotated with RPM variation. The noise level was measured by using noise sensor, located 1 meter behind the engine and 1 meter front the engine. The same test was repeated, but this time the engine had a muffler. The maximum noise level for the LSU-02 engine was 113.9 dB without a muffler and 98.7 dB with a muffler, with noise sensor located 1 meter behind the engine, at the highest propeller rotational speed of 6500 RPM, according to the measurement results. The engine noise level was reduced by an average of 15% and 12% with noise sensors mounted behind and in front of the engine. With current muffler design and operation by propeller speed of 5000 RPM, the measured noise level could not be suppressed to under 85 dB.

Quantum annealing technologies aim to solve combinatorial optimization and sampling problems. Studies on combi-natorial optimization problems include the selection of vehicle routes on road traffic, known as the NP-hard problem. We propose a vehicle route problem that can be formulated in the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) model as a combina-torial problem to optimize vehicle route selection. The solution aims to optimize the vehicle’s journey to reach a destination. The experiment presents a formulation to solve traffic congestion problems on certain roads. The selection of vehicle routes results in optimizing the distribution of alternative road vehicle flows. The level of road density is a cost function that will be optimized, and the constraint is a limitation on the route choice for each vehicle. This vehicle routing problem considers the weight parameter (as distance in actual road conditions) of the road segment that affects the cost function. The simulations on the D-Wave quantum annealer show optimal results on the route deployment of several vehicles. The cost value on route choice with weighted segments gives better results than in previous studies. Each vehicle can go through different road options and accurately reduce road conges-tion. This solution provides an opportunity to develop QUBO modeling on more complex vehicle routing problems to reduce road congestion.
