"The proportion of people with diabetes in Indonesia is 6.9%, of whom, 90% suffer from type 2 diabetes. To control diabetes, the International Diabetes Foundation has a self-monitoring blood glucose program (SMBG) that is designed to gather detailed information about blood glucose, which can be used to define the required dietary and physical activity. In Indonesia, SMBGs have not been applied widely due to some difficulties with the SMBG application, including difficulty with interpreting blood glucose levels and the required food consumption. The rapid development of smartphones and the internet in recent years may provide a solution for SMBG applications in Indonesia. Therefore, the aim of this research is to design an SMBG application that meets the needs of people with diabetes. In designing the application, the Kansei Engineering method was used due to its ability to capture impressions of the product that reflect hidden needs. Kansei Engineering was applied to translate the patient’s perception into design elements. Statistical analysis – particularly Factor Analysis and Partial Least Squares Analysis – were used to support the Kansei Engineering method. Statistical analysis indicated that four main design components needed to be considered in the design, including ‘data record persistence’, ‘ease of use’, ‘data presentation’, and ‘visual attractiveness’. These four components were used as the basic design concepts, which were transferred to new design specifications based on Partial Least Squares Analysis. The selected design elements (or premium Kansei) were ‘color scheme – light’, ‘language – Bahasa’, and ‘input dialog – typing’. The result of this research is a design for an SMBG android-based application that is easy to use and also provides appropriate information to patients with diabetes so they can plan their diet program."

"This paper describes thecase study of Semanggi intersection in Jakarta, a dynamic model of emissionreduction in the land transportation sector. The urban transportation system isa complex system with multiple variables, feedback loops, and is influenced bysocial, economic and environmental factors. The proposed model consists of twosubmodels: Vehicle Fleet and Emission Calculation. The model runs inPowersim Studio software using data from the Indonesia Japan EconomicPartnership Agreement, and the TrafficManagement Centre of the Indonesian National Police. The test was conducted by developing two scenarios:Business As Usual and Intention. The estimated results to beobtained using the first scenario in 2021 should be 1,113,398 units, while thesecond scenario is estimated to produce 850,733 units. We hypothesize that theIntentional Approach will have a more significant impact than the TechnicalApproach, which requires more investment. The Intentional Approach is designed to improve the intention ofprivate car users to switch to public transportation. The Technical Approach to the emission measurement of everyvehicle in a certain area is the data of vehicle emission which are usuallytaken to determine the current condition. This research will no doubthave a positive impact on emission reduction in Jakarta."

"Existing software development studies focus on creating interfaces that cater to improving sensual responses rather than on usability. The variables affecting the performance of visually impaired (VI) individuals in the design of existing software, such as arrangement of design elements, words used in the interface and allowing action reversal were investigated to improve task completion time, number of errors committed and overall satisfaction. Two interface designs of a telephone survey system were developed considering published usability and accessibility guidelines in literature. A total of 30 participants used the software and performed three tasks. Results of the usability test showed that the lowest overall task time was achieved by the current design followed by the panel design. The panel design produced the least number of errors committed. However, VI participants preferred the tab interface because it is more organized."

"The main objective of this paper is to review and examine the effects of the selected collision parameter values on the characteristics of collision energy in several ship collision scenarios. The benchmarking particulars were taken from the ship-to-ship collision case on Sunda Strait in 2014, while the collision process was modeled with non-linear simulations using the finite element (FE) method to determine the predicted damage and internal energy in the collision process. In the first phase, the verified model for the numerical simulation was built based on the benchmarks and other previous findings by researchers. The study of parameters during the collision process was performed in a later stage. The location of the target point in the vertical axis and the effect of the collision angle were the primary main focuses. The characteristics of damage and energy tendencies will be presented. One remarkable findings was that the structure of the car deck showed a better resistance and was more difficult to destroy than the other proposed locations. The angle position between the two objects during the impact process significantly contributed to the damage pattern on the side hull. The final results also indicated that the cross-section of the target point?s location influenced the observed parameters."

"FinFET (Fin Field-EffectTransistor) technology has recently seen a major increase in adoptionfor use in integrated circuits because of its high immunity to short channeleffects and its further ability to scaledown. Previously, a major research contribution was made to reduce the leakage current in theconventional bulk devices. So many different alternatives like bulk isolation and oxide isolation are all having some pros andcons. Here in this paper, we present a novel pile gate FinFET structure toreduce the leakage current, as compared with Bulk FinFET without using any pstop implant orisolation oxide as in theSilicon-on-Insulator (SOI). The major advantage of this type ofstructure is that there is no need of high substrate doping, a 100% reduction in therandom dopant fluctuation (RDF) and an increase in the ION/IOFFvalue. It can be very useful to improve the drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) at smallertechnological nodes. All the work is supported by 3D TCAD simulations, using Cogenda TCAD."

"The growth and crystallization processes of the Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) phase typically rely on high-temperature sulfurization, which involves a harmful chalcogen-containing atmosphere. Together with the use of high-toxicity solvents, these processes could hinder the widespread adoption of this technology in the mass production of CZTS semiconductors for solar cell application. Thus, we studied the formation of CZTS films from ethanol-based precursors without the sulfurization step, fully employing the non-toxic solvent and avoiding the environmentally harmful sulfur-containing atmosphere. The certain addition of 2-mercaptopropionic acid led to the formation of a clear and stable sulfur-containing precursor. The precursors were successfully deposited onto soda lime glass by employing spin coater. CZTS crystallinity in the identified XRD patterns was vanishingly small in the case of eliminating the sulfurization process. Moreover, the carbon concentration and grain size of the resulting films were controlled by changing the time period of drying treatment during film fabrication. A drying time of 120 minutes, which demonstrated a CZTS grain size of ± 1 µm with a direct optical energy gap around 1.4 eV, was confirmed as the ideal condition. These results may provide a useful route toward environment-friendly strategies for the production of a CZTS semiconductor that is compatible with the absorber application in thin-film solar cells."

"The purpose of this paper was to investigate the performance of ceramic filters made from a mixture of natural clay, rice bran, and iron powder in removing cadmium from pulp industry effluent. Some parameters were examined such as acidity, total dissolved solid (TDS), total suspended solid (TSS), electrical conductivity (EC), and cadmium concentration. Results showed that the composition percentage of the ceramic filter, which in this case amounted to 87.5% natural clay, 10% rice bran, and 2.5% iron powder, may decrease cadmium concentration in pulp industry effluent by up to 99.0%. Furthermore, the permeate flux decreased after 30 minutes of filtration time, and subsequently became constant at one hour of contact time. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrographs of the ceramic filter surfaces indicate that ceramic filters have a random pore structure and can be categorized as microfiltration filters."
