This research develops an automated temperature control system for water heaters, that is both efficient and stable, driven by the need for energy-saving heating solutions, particularly for marine applications. The main objective was to create an automatic system capable of maintaining water temperature within an optimal range while maximizing energy efficiency through the use of thermal storage materials. The methodology involved an on-off control system based on a microcontroller as the main controller, capable of processing temperature sensor data in real time. This system intelligently activates and deactivates the heater to keep the water temperature stable. Paraffin wax was used as a latent heat storage medium, playing a crucial role in gradually storing and releasing thermal energy to support temperature stability. An automatic water heater system based on the ESP32 microcontroller with an on-off control mechanism was successfully designed using paraffin wax combined with silica sand as a thermal storage medium. The addition of silica sand significantly enhanced heat conductivity and temperature stability. Test results showed a substantial reduction in energy consumption, with daily savings reaching Rp12,762.88, equivalent to 67% of total daily energy costs. Over a one-year period, the total savings amounted to Rp4,658,103.20, demonstrating that the paraffin wax–silica sand combination is highly effective in improving energy efficiency and reducing long-term operational costs.

This research aims to develop and evaluate the performance of a steam plant prototype designed as an alternative source of electrical energy to support the Vessel to Grid (V2G) concept. Utilization of backup energy on ships is becoming important as electricity demand increases and demands for a more sustainable electrical system. This system relies on ESP32 microcontroller technology as a control center that functions to monitor and control several key parameters, including steam pressure, combustion temperature, boiler water level, and the generated electrical voltage. The research method used is an experiment with a static and dynamic testing approach. Static testing is carried out to measure the performance of main components such as the boiler, turbine, and generator separately, while dynamic testing focuses on evaluating the overall system by involving the integration of sensors and supporting actuators. The test data is then analyzed quantitatively to determine the system's response to variations in steam pressure, temperature, and other operational conditions. The results show that the steam produced by the boiler is able to rotate the turbine, thereby driving the generator to produce electricity. The maximum voltage achieved is 25.7 volts at a steam pressure of 50 psi. The highest energy conversion efficiency was recorded at 4%, while the lowest efficiency was 0.9%. These findings demonstrate that, despite its relatively low efficiency, the prototype can function as an alternative energy source and emergency backup solution. Thus, this research provides an initial contribution to supporting the implementation of the V2G concept through the development of a small-scale steam plant-based energy conversion system.

This study aims to describe how stereotypes occur in cross-cultural communication between PMM and PNM students and to examine their impacts on students’ achievement and interaction. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires to capture both behavioral and perceptual aspects of communication. The findings reveal several key points. First, initial interactions shaped expectations and assumptions about each other’s behavior and culture. Second, stereotypes often caused miscommunication, misunderstandings, and confusion in interpreting messages. Third, they influenced group dynamics, including cooperation, participation, and conflict resolution. Fourth, students’ perceptions of identity, both personal and cultural, played a role in shaping their interactions. Fifth, the study identified both positive and negative impacts. Positive effects included enhanced Javanese language skills, increased cultural awareness, strengthened group identity, and cognitive shortcuts that facilitated understanding of others. Negative effects involved communication gaps, misinterpretation, discrimination, cultural barriers, and language difficulties. Overall, the study highlights that stereotypes in cross-cultural communication are a double-edged sword: while they can provide quick cognitive frameworks for understanding others, they can also impede effective communication and collaboration. These findings emphasize the importance of cultural sensitivity, awareness, and reflective practices in multicultural student interactions to maximize learning and minimize conflicts.

Sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is known to contain various bioactive compounds such as saponins, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, brazilin, and gallic acid. These compounds play an important role as antioxidants that can ward off free radicals and absorb UVA and UVB radiation that are harmful to the skin. Ultraviolet radiation is known to accelerate premature aging and cause tissue damage, so a topical formulation is needed that can provide protection while maintaining skin health. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity and sunscreen ability of sappan wood extract in the form of lip balm with varying extract concentrations. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) method, while the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value was determined by the Mansyur method using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Sappan wood extract was formulated into four lip balm preparations, namely F0 (control without extract), F1 (5%), F2 (10%), and F3 (15%). Physical tests including homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, and organoleptic were conducted to ensure the quality of the preparation. The results showed that sappanwood extract had an IC50 value of 23.62 ppm which was categorized as very strong antioxidant activity. In the lip balm formulation, the IC50 values ​​obtained were F0 = 246.76 ppm (very weak), F1 = 92.68 ppm (strong), F2 = 78.03 ppm (strong), and F3 = 63.58 ppm (strong). The SPF test showed a protection value of F0 = 2.11 (minimum), F1 = 13.64 (maximum), F2 = 14.25 (maximum), and F3 = 18.28 (ultra). Thus, lip balm made from sappanwood extract has the potential as a cosmetic preparation that not only meets physical criteria, but also provides high antioxidant activity and effective sunscreen protection.

This study investigates the relationship between leg muscle power and the effectiveness of volleyball smash performance among players aged 16–18 years at Jaya Volleyball Club (JVC) Lubuklinggau. Volleyball is a sport that requires a combination of physical strength, technical mastery, and tactical coordination, with the smash being one of the most decisive offensive techniques. The research was motivated by the observation that many junior athletes at JVC had not yet maximized their smash performance, particularly in terms of accuracy and power, which are strongly influenced by leg muscle explosiveness. The study employed a quantitative approach using purposive sampling with 35 participants selected from a population of 60 athletes. Leg muscle power was measured using the vertical jump test, while smash ability was assessed using a structured volleyball smash test. Data analysis was conducted with SPSS version 23, including descriptive statistics, normality tests using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method, and Bivariate Correlation analysis (two-tailed). The results revealed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.652, with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a statistically significant and strong relationship between leg muscle power and smash performance. These findings confirm that explosive power in the legs contributes greatly to the ability of young volleyball players to execute effective smashes. Athletes with higher vertical jump capacity tend to produce more accurate, powerful, and successful smashes, thereby increasing their contribution to team performance. The results emphasize the importance of integrating targeted leg muscle power training into volleyball coaching programs. Coaches and clubs are encouraged to design structured strength and plyometric training regimens to optimize players’ performance. Furthermore, this study provides valuable insights for athlete development programs and contributes to the broader understanding of physical conditioning in volleyball.

Based on data analysis, several key factors were identified as obstacles to optimization. First, there is a lack of public trust in the institution, as reflected in the absence of significant growth in zakat collection over the past three years. This condition highlights the need for more effective communication and transparency strategies. Second, administrative challenges remain, such as a record-keeping system that is not yet fully integrated digitally and limited human resources with expertise in managing productive zakat. Third, resistance to change among beneficiaries persists, with approximately 30% refusing to adopt modern business management methods offered by the program. Fourth, there is a high dependency on assistance, with 40% of beneficiaries still heavily reliant on institutional mentoring. Fifth, participation in training programs remains low, with an average attendance rate of only 65%. Nevertheless, overall the program is categorized as “fairly successful” with an achievement score of 70 out of 100. This indicates that productive zakat holds great potential to promote economic empowerment of the community but has not yet been maximized due to structural and cultural barriers. Therefore, improvements are needed in transparency, capacity building of human resources, as well as persuasive and participatory approaches for beneficiaries, so that the goal of economic empowerment through productive zakat can be more effectively realized.

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has significant potential for the utilization of renewable energy, particularly wind energy in maritime areas with low wind speeds (3–6 m/s). This study aims to design and test a vertical Savonius wind turbine system equipped with a Perturb and Observe (P&O) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm as a power source for shipboard water heating systems. The research method applied is Research and Development (R&D), integrating several components such as a DC generator, full-wave bridge rectifier, INA219 current sensor, anemometer cup sensor, ESP32 microcontroller, and a monitoring interface utilizing Google Spreadsheet and a 20x4 LCD. The system was tested under two operating conditions: without MPPT and with MPPT. The experimental results show that the application of the MPPT algorithm successfully increased power output by up to 272.64% while maintaining voltage stability despite varying wind speeds. Nevertheless, the average output power of 2.605 W remained insufficient to meet water heating requirements within a short time. For example, charging a 12V 50Ah battery would require approximately 9.6 consecutive days of operation, highlighting the system’s limitations in high-demand scenarios. Despite these constraints, the findings demonstrate that the vertical Savonius wind turbine integrated with MPPT has strong potential as a clean and environmentally friendly alternative energy solution for maritime applications, particularly for small-scale onboard electrical loads. This study contributes to renewable energy utilization in the shipping sector and provides a foundation for further technological development and optimization.
