The development of electric vehicle technology has encouraged the use of electric bicycles as an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient mode of transportation. One of the main components of an electric bicycle is the hub BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) motor, which is considered more efficient because it is directly integrated into the wheel without requiring a chain transmission system. However, the performance of the hub BLDC motor is affected by operating conditions, particularly variations in load and speed, which influence current consumption and overall electrical performance. This study aimed to analyze the effect of load and speed variations on the current consumption of a hub BLDC motor. A quantitative experimental method was employed by conducting direct tests on an electric bicycle using load variations of 50 kg, 60 kg, and 70 kg, as well as speed variations of 30 km/h, 35 km/h, and 40 km/h. Current measurements were carried out in real time using a PZEM 051 sensor, and the collected data were analyzed using average values obtained from repeated measurements. The results showed that increasing the load and speed led to higher current consumption of the hub BLDC motor, from 4.6 A to 5.0 A under load variation and from 4.5 A to 5.1 A under speed variation. These findings indicate that both load and speed significantly affect the electrical current required by the hub BLDC motor, demonstrating that greater operating demands result in higher energy consumption.

This research is motivated by the importance of implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in speed boat maintenance activities as a supporting facility for ship agency operations at PT. Sinar Pasific. The high intensity of speed boat usage makes the fleet vulnerable to damage if maintenance is not carried out regularly and according to procedures. Based on initial observations, inconsistencies in maintenance implementation, incomplete documentation, and damage to the engine, electrical systems, and hull were still found, which can disrupt company operations. This study aims to determine the implementation of SOPs, the obstacles encountered, and the efforts made to optimize speed boat maintenance at PT. Sinar Pasific. This research was conducted at PT. Sinar Pasific during the author’s Onboard Practical Training (PRADA) from August 2024 to July 2025. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method. The data sources were obtained through direct field observation, semi-structured interviews with personnel involved in speed boat operations, and documentation studies related to fleet maintenance activities. The results show that the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in speed boat maintenance at PT. Sinar Pasific has been carried out but has not yet run optimally. This is indicated by inconsistent maintenance schedules, lack of supervision, and incomplete maintenance documentation. In addition, several problems were still found, such as damage to the engine, electrical systems, and speed boat hulls, which can hinder company operations. To overcome these obstacles, the company has made efforts by improving discipline in SOP implementation, conducting regular supervision and evaluation, improving maintenance documentation, and increasing technicians’ understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance so that speed boat conditions are maintained and operational activities run smoothly.

Dredger operations in water-based mining areas have a high occupational risk because they involve a combination of wet environments, mechanical equipment, and electrical systems. The presence of electrical panels, power cables, terminal connections, electric motors, inverters/drives, and protection components on the Dredger requires a sound understanding of Occupational Health and Safety, particularly electrical safety. Water splashes, wet walking surfaces, high humidity, and improper procedures during inspection or cleaning may increase the risk of short circuits, protection trips, and electric shock. Therefore, structured basic safety training is required so that operators are able to identify electrical hazards and implement safe working procedures. This activity aimed to improve operators’ understanding of hazardous electrical components, initial safety briefing procedures, measurement practice and safe handling during trips or short-circuit indications, and the correct and safe use of water pumps for unit cleaning. The activity was carried out through field observation, technical briefing, direct demonstration on the electrical panel and work area, simple measurement practice, and safe cleaning practice. The results indicate that field documentation can serve as an effective learning medium to strengthen operators’ understanding of electrical hazard sources on the Dredger, the application of simple lock out-tag out procedures, the control of wet areas, and the limitation of water spray direction during cleaning activities. Overall, the activity shows that improved compliance with safety procedures may reduce the risk of short circuits and electric shock during operation and maintenance.

The consistent decline in cucumber production in Indonesia indicates limitations in conventional cultivation systems, particularly due to land scarcity and inefficient resource management. This condition has encouraged the development of hydroponic systems as a more controlled and productive cultivation alternative. This study aims to critically analyze the key factors determining the success of hydroponic cucumber cultivation and to identify the most influential management aspects in improving yield. The method employed is a literature review, examining various recent studies related to hydroponic systems, nutrient management, growing media, and environmental factors. The results show that the advantages of hydroponics lie not only in land and water efficiency but also in the ability to precisely control growth variables. However, optimal productivity highly depends on the proper integration of nutrient management, particularly the regulation of pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and nutrient balance, as well as the control of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Inaccuracy in a single component can significantly reduce plant performance, even when other factors are optimal. Therefore, an integrated approach combining nutrient and environmental management simultaneously is essential to enhance hydroponic cucumber productivity. This study confirms that hydroponics has strong potential as a strategic solution to support sustainable agriculture amid land limitations in Indonesia.

Hydroponic cultivation of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) in greenhouses is an effective alternative for overcoming land limitations, particularly in urban areas. Hydroponic systems enable plants to obtain nutrients optimally through the application of the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) and Deep Flow Technique (DFT), thereby promoting more efficient plant growth. In addition, the success of hydroponic mustard cultivation is influenced by environmental control, including temperatures ranging from 15–35°C and relative humidity levels of 70–90%. Plant nutrient requirements are supplied through an AB Mix nutrient solution with a pH range of 5.5–6.5 and an electrical conductivity (EC) value of 1.5–3.0 mS/cm. This review aims to analyze various factors affecting the growth of hydroponic mustard greens, including nutrient management, environmental conditions, and biological pest and disease control using beneficial agents such as Trichoderma and Bacillus. Furthermore, this study discusses several technical and economic challenges that may influence cultivation success. The findings indicate that hydroponic systems can significantly improve crop productivity and yield quality, reduce the use of chemical pesticides, and support the implementation of sustainable and environmentally friendly urban agriculture in Indonesia.

This study was conducted based on the crucial role of diesel generator engines as the primary source of electrical power on board ships, making their operational reliability essential. One of the factors influencing generator engine performance is lubricating oil temperature. Excessive lubricating oil temperature may reduce lubrication effectiveness, increase friction between moving components, and lower engine efficiency. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the causes of high lubricating oil temperature in diesel generator engines and determine appropriate corrective actions. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation during sea practice aboard MV. CL FLANDERS from 4 July 2024 to 5 July 2025. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression to examine the relationship between generator load and lubricating oil temperature. The findings revealed that generator load had a significant effect on the increase in lubricating oil temperature. Under normal operating conditions, the lubricating oil temperature ranged from 60°C to 72°C, while under abnormal conditions it increased to between 68°C and 81°C. The abnormal rise in temperature was mainly caused by cooling system problems, particularly a dirty LO cooler, scale deposits on the sea water pump impeller, and blockage in the cooling capillary pipes. The regression equation under normal conditions was Y = 45 + 0.30X, whereas under abnormal conditions it was Y = 53.5 + 0.30X. Elevated lubricating oil temperature resulted in lower oil viscosity, higher fuel consumption, and reduced diesel generator engine performance. Therefore, regular maintenance of the LO cooler, sea water pump, and continuous temperature monitoring are necessary to maintain optimum engine performance.

The availability of a reliable backup power source is essential for supporting the operational continuity of the Indonesian National Army Fuel Filling Station (SPBT) at the Naval Academy (AAL). Interruptions in the main electrical supply can disrupt fuel distribution activities and reduce operational readiness. This study aims to determine the most appropriate emergency generator as a backup power source for SPBT AAL using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Data were collected through observations, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires administered to experts with competencies in electrical systems and operational management. The evaluation was based on three criteria: purchase cost, spare parts availability, and ease of maintenance. Five generator alternatives were assessed, namely Cummins C10D6, Yanmar YTG10S, Traknus PL15P-SS, Honda EM10000, and Yamaha EF12000E. The results indicate that ease of maintenance is the most influential criterion with a priority weight of 0.627, followed by spare parts availability at 0.280 and purchase cost at 0.094. The global priority ranking shows that Yanmar YTG10S achieved the highest score of 0.438, making it the most suitable emergency generator for SPBT AAL. Furthermore, the consistency ratio (CR) values were below 0.10, indicating that the respondents’ judgments were consistent and that the results are valid for decision-making purposes.

The increasing demand for electrical energy in military education facilities necessitates an efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy solution. This research aims to design a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) system to meet the street lighting needs in the Wangi-Wangi Complex of the Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL). The research method used is quantitative descriptive with an engineering design approach thru the stages of site survey, collection of solar energy potential data in the Surabaya area, calculation of electricity energy needs, calculation of solar panel capacity, calculation of battery capacity, and design of battery connection configuration.

This PKM model demonstrates that interdisciplinary collaboration across universities is effective in providing innovative technological education to rural populations.

The flash floods that struck Aceh Tamiang caused infrastructure damage and contaminated clean water sources, making it difficult for residents to obtain potable water. This situation increases the risk of water-borne diseases and worsens the post-disaster situation. This research aims to develop a large-scale, simple water filtration prototype as an emergency response solution that is effective, economical, and easy to implement by affected communities. The methods used include field observation, water sampling, testing simple physical parameters (turbidity, color, odor, and pH), and designing a gravity-based, multi-stage filtration system without electricity. The prototype uses a combination of filter media such as gravel, silica sand, activated charcoal, and natural fibers in a drum system. Test results show a decrease in turbidity levels from 150–300 NTU to 5–15 NTU after the filtration process, as well as an increase in pH to near neutral. The filtered water is declared suitable for sanitation and consumption after undergoing a further disinfection process. In addition to implementing the technology, this research also includes public education regarding the selection of safe water sources and maintenance of the filtration system. Based on these results, this large-scale simple water filtration prototype is effective as an appropriate technological solution in handling the post-disaster clean water crisis and has the potential to be replicated in other flood-prone areas.

The development of transportation technology encourages companies to improve vehicle monitoring systems to be more effective and measurable, particularly in addressing speeding violations that can increase accident risks and reduce operational efficiency. This study aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of using a buzzer integrated with the Teltonika FMB910 GPS module as a vehicle speed warning indicator at PT. Lacak Cipta Aktual. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, where data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation during a one-month industrial internship and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the system is capable of detecting overspeed conditions and automatically activating the buzzer when the vehicle speed exceeds the predefined threshold of 80 km/h. Based on logbook data, the system achieved a success rate of 93.9% in responding to overspeed conditions. The use of a buzzer is proven effective in providing immediate warnings to drivers, thereby improving driver awareness and speed control. However, the system still has limitations, particularly its dependence on GPS signal stability and vehicle electrical conditions. Overall, this study demonstrates that the integration of GPS and a buzzer provides a simple, effective, and cost-efficient solution to enhance driving safety and fleet management efficiency.

This study discusses the design and simulation of an automatic lighting system based on a photodiode sensor using an Arduino Uno microcontroller as the main controller. The system is designed to detect changes in ambient light intensity and automatically control the lamp without human intervention. The photodiode sensor is used as a light detector that converts light energy into an analog electrical signal, which is then processed by the Arduino to determine bright or dark conditions.

The research method employed is an experimental approach, which includes system planning, hardware design, software programming, simulation using Proteus, and system performance testing. The simulation results indicate that the system operates as expected, where the lamp automatically turns on when the light intensity decreases and turns off when the ambient brightness increases. This system is expected to improve electrical energy efficiency and provide ease of operation for lighting control, particularly in public facilitiesand workplace environments.

This study aims to analyze the technical and economic impact of power evacuation work on the 20 kV distribution system at PT PLN (Persero) UP3 East Bali.

The results show that the configuration of four LED floodlight units is capable of producing a minimum illumination of 10 lux evenly across the TLOF and FATO areas in accordance with ICAO standards without causing glare. The use of Avlite AV-HL-FL floodlights with IP66 protection is suitable for coastal environments. The electrical installation system using NYY 2×2.5 mm² cables and a 2 Ampere MCB ensures system safety and reliability. Therefore, this design can enhance heliport operational safety and support optimal night operations.

The increasing demand for electrical energy and the limited availability of fossil fuels have driven the development of renewable energy sources, including marine current energy, which remains underutilized in coastal and remote maritime regions. This study presents the design and realization of a small-scale marine current power generation prototype using a horizontal axis propeller turbine with a NACA S814 blade profile and analyzes the effect of turbine rotational speed on electrical power output. The system converts marine current kinetic energy into mechanical energy through turbine rotation and subsequently into DC electrical energy using a generator, which is stabilized by a Buck–Boost Converter and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for charging a 12 VDC battery. Real-time monitoring of electrical and mechanical parameters is implemented using an Internet of Things (IoT)–based system comprising an ESP32 microcontroller, a PZEM-017 sensor, and an RPM sensor. Experimental results demonstrate a positive correlation between water flow rate, turbine rotational speed, and generator output voltage. The system begins operating at a minimum flow rate of 35.2 L/s at 56 RPM, producing 0.2 V, while optimal performance is achieved at 45.3 L/s and 516 RPM, generating up to 13.3 V. These results indicate that the proposed prototype is a viable alternative renewable energy source for marine applications.

This research aims to design and develop a prototype wave power plant that utilizes the vertical motion of a buoy as a source of mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy using a recoil starter mechanism. The system is designed to be installed at the stern of a prototype ship. The vertical movement of the buoy caused by ocean waves is transmitted to the recoil starter through a drive rope, producing a stable one-way rotational motion. This rotation is further transmitted to a gearbox to increase rotational speed before driving a DC generator. The electrical energy generated is stored in a 12 VDC battery, supported by a buck–booster converter to stabilize the output voltage. This study employs an experimental engineering approach to evaluate system performance based on empirical test data. The main components of the system include a buoy as a wave energy collector, a recoil starter as the initial rotating mechanism, a DC generator as the electrical energy producer, a buck–booster converter as a voltage regulator, a 12 VDC battery as an energy storage unit, and a monitoring system based on an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with a PZEM-017 sensor. Experimental results show that the recoil starter operates effectively in driving the generator under both no- load and buoy-loaded conditions. Increases in generator rotational speed are directly proportional to increases in output voltage and current. The PZEM-017 sensor demonstrates a high level of measurement accuracy, approaching 100% when compared with a multimeter. Overall, the proposed wave power generation system functions reliably and shows potential for further development as a small-scale alternative renewable energy source.

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common neuropathy caused by compression and tension of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. The most common symptoms of CTS include pain and paresthesia (tingling) with or without numbness in the me dian nerve area of ​​the wrist. Method: The method used was a case study on a 72-year-old male patient diagnosed with bilateral CTS who experienced pain (NRS 7/10), tingling, numbness, and limitations in hand movement and functional activity. Physiotherapy interventions provided included Ultrasound therapy (US), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), nerve mobilization, and structured exercise therapy in the form of stretching and median nerve gliding. Evaluation was carried out using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) for functional activity. Result: The results showed a significant reduction in pain, with motion pain decreasing from a scale of 7 to 3 and pressure pain from 5 to 1 after three therapy sessions. Furthermore, there was an increase in functional activity, as indicated by a decrease in BCTQ scores, namely the Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) from 4 to 2 and the Functional Status Scale (FSS) from 4 to 2. This indicates a gradual improvement from the moderate-severe category to approaching mild. Conclusion: A multimodal physiotherapy approach is effective in reducing pain, reducing paresthesias, and improving hand function in CTS patients. Combining various therapeutic modalities has been shown to be more optimal than single therapies because it can address various pathological aspects simultaneously. Therefore, comprehensive, evidence-based physiotherapy interventions are highly recommended in the conservative management of CTS.
