Studies on outcrop-scale structures have been conducted at the Garba complex. This study aims to add the high-resolution of the South Sumatra region to reconstruct the structural geology and implications of tectonics for the region. The study area is commonly referred to as crystalline basement highs forming the southwestern boundary of the Paleogene South Sumatra basin. The structures commonly show the NW-SE, NNW-SSE, and ENE-WSW trends. The methodology used includes field mapping, analysis of Digital Elevation Model (DEM), petrography, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The major fractures include wrench slip, reverse, and normal faults, while the observable microstructures comprise pull-apart calcite veins, shear joints, boudins, parasitic folds, and the augens. The earlier structuring episode was probably related to crustal extension, perhaps associated with the Paleogene rifting that occurred along the western margin of Sundaland. In the Late Neogene, tectonic compression took place in the entire region, allowing inversion of the Pre-Tertiary sequence. As compression waned in the Pleistocene, extension commenced, and a number of the ENE-WSW tensional block faulting developed and intersected the older NNW-SSE alignments. It is important to note that the latest tectonic event in conjunction with deep erosional denudation had likely exhumed the terrain and eventually shaped the present-day fractured and rough landforms in the study area.

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.

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.

This study aims to develop a device that uses DC lamps as a notification of a telephone ringing in a noisy room. The research method involves observing the Cikande electronic ambassador shop and proposing the use of a DC lamp as a replacement for the speaker output of the telephone. The device includes a PNP transistor type as an amplifier and multiple LEDs to ensure visibility in a noisy environment. The result is a functional device that uses DC lamps to notify the ringing of a telephone in a noisy room. The implication of this research is that it provides a solution for situations where conventional ringing tones from telephones are not audible due to noise pollution. The device can be useful in various settings, including busy offices, factories, and public spaces.

Technological developments also affect the development of science. Universities, as one of the media that play an important role in science and discoveries, are also growing rapidly. The varied majors encourage students to be more selective in choosing them. This study examines the formation of cognitive dissonance in The Higher Education program in Undergraduate program students at the Higher Education program (HEP) Indonesia. The dimensions involved of cognitive dissonance were including emotional, wisdom of purchase, and concern over the deal. The emotional dimension is measured by 15-question indicators, the wisdom of purchase dimension is measured by 44-question indicators, and concern over the deal is measured by 3-question indicators. The research sample used 111 students of the 2017 and 2018 batches or third and fourth-year students of the HEP in Undergraduate Level. The analytical technique applied in this study uses factor analysis. The results of cognitive dissonance analysis using factor analysis on emotional variables showed that students were not upset to choose the intended undergraduate level of HEP in Indonesia, on the wisdom of purchase variable, it shows that students felt the need to choose the HEP in Undergraduate program. The concern over the deal variable showed that students did not feel confused in choosing the HEP in the Undergraduate Level.
