Tocotrienols, belonging to the vitamin E family, exhibit neuroprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, and cholesterol-lowering attributes. A significant reservoir of tocotrienols is found within rice bran. Notably, rice bran oil stands as one of the most abundant vegetable oils in terms of tocotrienol content. This study aims to amplify tocotrienol levels in rice bran oil by fermenting rice bran with the fungus Aspergillus terreus, and by modulating the solvent ratio of methanol:chloroform:water during the extraction process. The research involves a comprehensive approach that encompasses solid-state fermentation of rice bran, succeeded by rice bran oil extraction utilizing the Bligh-Dyer method. This extracted oil is subsequently analyzed using UV spectrophotometry and GC/MS to ascertain tocotrienol levels within the rice bran oil. Findings from the study highlight an optimum solvent ratio of methanol:chloroform:water at 1:1.5:0.9 (v/v/v). Through this optimal configuration, the tocotrienol concentration escalates from 2541.44 ppm to 3642.79 ppm. Furthermore, the introduction of fermentation leads to a rise in tocotrienol levels within the extracted rice bran oil, ascending from 2541.44 ppm to 3257.66 ppm. The resultant rice bran oil extract also presents an array of antioxidant compounds, including n-hexadecanoic acid, benzoic acid, and chlorogenic acid. This collective insight underscores the potential for enhancing tocotrienol levels in rice bran oil through controlled fermentation and strategic solvent ratio adjustments, thereby enriching its potential health benefits.

Coffee is one of the plantation crops that has long been a cultivated plant in Indonesia. The classification of coffee fruit maturity manually still has several weaknesses and requires a long process, has low accuracy and is inconsistent, this is because the determination is made subjectively by coffee farmers. As for the classification of coffee fruit maturity levels automatically, it can be faster with objective determination, therefore the use of image processing is relatively easier, faster, and based on a quantified descriptive assessment to determine coffee maturity. Image Processing is a method used to process or manipulate images in 2-dimensional form. In the classification process, there are many methods used to obtain classification of objects based on training data. One of the algorithms used for the classification process is K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). KNN is a classification technique for objects based on training data that is the closest or has similar characteristics to the object. KNN includes supervised learning algorithms, where the results of the new query instance are classified based on the majority of the categories in K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN). The finding indicated that class classification of ripe and unripe were 88,24 % and 100% respectively with 93,33% accuracy level.

Home security is a crucial aspect that requires careful attention, particularly when it comes to addressing theft concerns. Hence, implementing smart door technology equipped with facial recognition holds promising potential for enhancing home security. This study aims to develop a more secure and regulated home entry system by leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Machine Learning Computer Vision for facial recognition. The system integrates IoT devices, such as cameras and automatic doors, wherein facial image data is captured by the camera and processed using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm to identify individuals. Once an individual is recognized, the system grants access to the home through an automated door. By relying on facial features, the system effectively restricts unauthorized access and safeguards homes against theft risks. Therefore, the advancement of a safer and more controlled home entry system utilizing IoT technology and Machine Learning Computer Vision holds tremendous benefits for homeowners.

Jengkol, a commonly consumed food ingredient, is frequently utilized without its outer layer. However, the outer peel of the jengkol fruit harbors a multitude of secondary metabolites that hold potential as bioinsecticides. Among these compounds, flavonoids stand out as toxic to insects. The quantification of flavonoid content within jengkol peel extracts is denoted as TFC (Total Flavonoid Content). Employing ultrasonic wave extraction, the conversion of jengkol peel into bioinsecticides can be facilitated. This research employs ultrasonic wave extraction, utilizing an ethanol solvent, with a frequency of 53 kHz and a temperature of 40℃. Through systematic variation of sonication duration and solvent concentration, this investigation scrutinizes the impact of these variables on TFC values and extracts yields. The assessment of TFC is conducted using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and referencing a quercetin standard solution. Optimal TFC output, specifically 1.643±0.026 mg QE/g of dried jengkol peel extract, is achieved at a 60-minute extraction period using 70% ethanol solvent. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) analysis identifies various compounds with bioinsecticidal potential, including phenolic acids, fatty acids, flavonoids, phytoalexins, and coumarins, exhibiting the highest TFC levels. Employing ANOVA analysis followed by a post hoc LSD (Least Significance Different) test, it is evident with 95% confidence that both extraction time and solvent concentration significantly influence flavonoid content within jengkol peel extracts.

In electric vehicles, the dynamic nature of driving conditions, speed variations, and fluctuations in loads introduce non-stationary loads on electric motors. These non-uniform load distributions can result in mechanical imbalance faults within the motor, leading to increased vibrations, reduced motor performance, and potential mechanical stress on its components. The development of advanced diagnostic methods is crucial for detecting and addressing these mechanical balance faults in electric motors. This article introduces a novel approach for diagnosing mechanical unbalance faults using local iterative filter decomposition, specifically designed for electric motors operating under non-stationary load conditions. The experimental results demonstrate that the application of iterative filter decomposition yields superior outcomes compared to the absence of decomposition. By employing this method, the algorithm achieves a classification accuracy exceeding 80% for all types of unbalances, including the detection of low-speed rotation unbalance faults, which are known to be challenging to identify.
