Modifications in Setting, Strength and Moisture Resistance of Magnesium Oxysulfate by Mixing Polyvinyl Alcohol as an Additive

/in /by

Magnesium oxysulfate cement (MOS) is a novel kind of binder with numerous advantageous qualities, including good binding capabilities, fire resistance, environmentally friendly etc. There are many benefits of using non-hydraulic MOS instead of traditional Portland cement. MOS saves energy and preserves the environment, which makes it an attractive research area. Its low early strength and poor moisture resistance make large-scale commercial application impractical, despite of its many benefits. In this experiment, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as an additive to overcome its drawbacks. The results showed that PVA increased initial as well as final setting time of MOS. PVA also improved compressive strength and water resistance of MOS. Experimental results are supported by FTIR analysis.

Sustainability Strategy for the Beef Cattle Manure Waste Management Program in Kediri City, Indonesia

/in /by

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of respondents in beef cattle waste processing and to formulate strategies for sustainable beef cattle waste processing. Data collection was conducted from February to April 2025. The study was specifically carried out in Kediri City, Indonesia with a total sample of 80 respondents. The main variables observed in this study were: characteristic respondent (X1) motivation (X2), perception (X3), role of stakeholders (X4), participation (Y1), and sustainability (Y2). This research study employed a descriptive survey method. Based on a survey of 80 respondents, the majority of beef cattle farmers in Kediri City exhibit the following characteristics: 85% are male, and 92.5% fall within the productive age category (17–59 years. Most respondents (58.75%) have a senior high school education. Additionally, 63.75% work primarily as farmers or livestock breeder. The study’s findings reveal that the sustainability of the waste management program is strongly influenced by three key variables. The motivation-based strategy (X2) focuses on self-esteem needs (X2.4) as the dominant factor and includes symbolic rewards, formal recognition, storytelling of successful farmers, and involvement in community forums to strengthen intrinsic motivation and pride. The perception-based strategy (X3) emphasizes affective perception (X3.2), with initiatives such as visual and audio-visual education tools and participatory workshops rooted in local knowledge, aiming to cultivate positive emotions and environmental responsibility. Although stakeholder contribution (X4) is statistically significant, it has a negative influence, indicating a need to revise top-down approaches. The proposed strategy includes strengthening participatory methods, improving program transparency, building synergy among government, private sectors, and farmer groups, and recognizing local wisdom and grassroots initiatives. Finally, the participation-based strategy (Y1) identifies evaluation (Y1.4) as the dominant indicator, promoting sustainability through Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) and continuous training.
