Power Factor Improvement in the New Civil Engineering Building at State Polytechnic of Samarinda

/in /by

The State Polytechnic of Samarinda is grappling with reactive power issues, primarily stemming from the considerable number of electrical loads, including computers, fluorescent lamps, printers, air conditioners, and electric motors, present in its buildings and laboratories. As a solution, the installation of a static var compensator (SVC) is proposed to enhance the electrical power factor at the Samarinda State Polytechnic, with a specific focus on the new Civil Engineering Department building. To assess the impact on the power factor, simulations were conducted using MATLAB R2021a Simulink software. The findings reveal that the utilization of a static var compensator resulted in an average power factor increase of 25% across all experiments. However, the targeted power factor of 0.99 was not attained. Furthermore, employing the SVC led to a reduction in current in the R phase by an average of 1.8%, in the S phase by an average of 35%, and in the T phase by an average of 37%. Concurrently, there was an average increase in active power by 3.5%, while apparent power decreased by an average of 14%, and reactive power decreased by an average of 74%. Despite encountering some limitations, the implementation of SVC proved successful in enhancing the power factor in the simulation, presenting a viable solution for improving power quality in the buildings of Samarinda State Polytechnic.

Analysis of Factors Affecting Complaints of Lower Back Pain among Nurses at Bhayangkara Hospital Kendari

/in /by

Background: One of the important factors that affect the quality of nurses’ work is occupational health and safety. One of the occupational diseases is Low Back Pain (LBP). Occupations that have a high risk of back pain are nurses. According to the Indonesian Neurological Association (INA) regarding the incidence of lower back pain in hospital nurses, the prevalence of lower back pain cases in nurses in Indonesia shows that 18,2% occurs in men and 13,6% in women. Then, based on the nursing management report at Bhayangkara Hospital Kendari in 2023, most of the nurses’ complaints were lower back pain due to the workload being too high for nurses.

Method: This research was a quantitative analytical research with a cross-sectional design approach. The data analysis was carried out using SPSS statistical tests with multiple linear regression. The population in this study was 102 nurses, while the sample was 102 nurses (total sampling).

Results: The results showed a significant p-value for workload 0,049<0,05, physical activity 0,028<0,05, body position 0,004<0,05, working period 0,048<0,05 and body mass index (BMI) 0,001<0,05.

Conclusion: This research concluded that there was an effect between workload, physical activity, body position, work period and body mass index on complaints of lower back pain in nurses at Bhayangkara Hospital Tk.III Kendari. This research can be a reference material for hospitals, health workers or nurses and can increase knowledge in preventing or reducing the occurrence of lower back pain while working.

Mood States (POMS) Condition Profile Analysis of Senior Women’s Cricket Athletes in East Java before The North Aceh Sumatra PON 2024

/in /by

One factor that could affect an athlete’s mental and emotional readiness is mood. Mood profile for Cricket athletes is an important factor that needs to be analyzed. An athlete’s mood can affect their overall performance. A positive mood can increase focus, motivation,and self-confidence, while a negative mood can hinder an athlete’s abilities and affect desired results. The aim of this research is to determine the condition of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) of East Java Female Senior Cricket Athletes before the 2024 Aceh North Sumatra PON. This research method uses descriptive quantitative research with seventeen athletes as the sample in the research and limited only to East Java Senior Female Cricket Athletes. The results of the research shows that the “Medium” category with the highest percentage is the anger indicator (AMR) at 72.27%, and the confused mood indicator (SSB) at 72.10%. Indicators with a medium percentage include indicators of full energy (PNT), self-assessment (PDR), and depression (DPS) of 70.59%. The percentage of fatigue indicators (KLH) was 69.08% and the indicator with the lowest category was the tension indicator (KTG) at 68.07%. The conclusion of the research on Profile of Mood States (POMS) Condition Analysis for East Java Women’s Senior Cricket Athletes before the 2024 Aceh North Sumatra PON was in “Medium” condition. Negative mood conditions in the “Medium” category such as fatigue, anger, tension, confusion and depression indicate that athletes are not feeling stressed mentally and physically. Meanwhile, positive mood conditions in the “Medium” category make athletes have a good mood, such as being full of energy and self-confidence. This is possible because the training portion is good and the conditions for the 2024 Aceh North Sumatra PON are still quite long. So, there are still many athletes who experience good mood conditions.

Effect of Feeding Duration with Different Levels of Culled E. Cottonii on Consumption, Nutrient Digestibility, Growth and Body Composition of Early Weaned Balinese Calves

/in /by

The study aimed to evaluate the duration of complete feed containing culled red seaweed (E. cottonii) with different levels on nutrient utilisation, growth and body composition of early weaned Bali cattle calves. A total of 24 Bali cattle calves (initial BW ± 30-40 kg; 2-3 months old) were used in this study. Bali cattle calves were randomly grouped by initial body weight and placed in 4 different treatments following a group randomised design pattern. The 4 treatments were:  CT0 = complete feed containing no cull ECOT; CT5 = complete feed containing 5% cull ECOT; CT10 = complete feed containing 10% cull ECOT and CT15 = complete feed containing 15% cull ECOT. The data obtained were analysed by analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test using SPSS 24 software. Feeding ECOT culls with different lengths of time and levels had a significant effect (P<0.05) on increasing consumption and nutrient digestibility of early weaned Balinese calves, but there was no interaction effect (P>0.05) between the length of time and level of ECOT culled on body weight gain and linear body size of early weaned Balinese calves. The same was true for body composition (meat and fat). The treatment also significantly (P<0.05) influenced the increase in bone weight in cattle treated with 5% cull ECOT and 10% cull ECOT. It was concluded that the use of culled ECOT up to 15% in complete feed could not increase the consumption and digestibility of nutrients but the duration of feeding affected the dry matter consumption and bone development of early weaned Bali cattle calves.

Enhancing Sustainable Banking Practices: Implementing the Besgi Framework to Indonesian Bank

/in /by

Climate change, a global issue largely caused by human activities, is now beginning to be addressed by the G20, including financial institutions. Indonesia, as part of the G20, is implementing a sustainable finance program to improve the financing, durability, and competitiveness of financial services institutions. This study evaluates the adoption of sustainable banking practices in Indonesia within the context of global climate change initiatives. Using the Banks’ Environmental, Social, Governance, and Indirect Impact (BESGI) framework, which provides a comprehensive assessment of banks’ ESG performance using the Multidimensional Synthesis of Indicators (MSI) aggregation method. The BESGI performance of 14 Indonesian banks from 2020-2022 was assessed, revealing varying results of fluctuating data with Mandiri scoring the highest in year 2021 and BTN the lowest in year 2020. The findings indicate a growing emphasis on sustainable finance within the Indonesian banking sector in terms of financing and investment. The BESGI Score has insignificant results on banks’ performance and stability. However, further research is essential to comprehend the implications of these practices on the performance and stability of banks.
