Helminthiasis can be diagnosed by finding helminth eggs on a stool laboratory examination. Stool examination consists of qualitative and quantitative examination. One of the methods used in qualitative examination is the sedimentation method, this method utilizes the force of gravity by using a solution of lower density so that parasites can settle under the solution with the help of a centrifuge. One of the factors that affect centrifugation is time and speed. This study aims to determine the effect of time and speed of centrifugation on the profile of helminths eggs. The research was conducted at the meids laboratory of the Catholic Polytechnic Mangunwijaya Semarang. This type of research is experimental. Positive samples of Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) eggs were centrifuged with time variations of 10 minutes, 5 minutes and 3 minutes at speeds of 3000 rpm, 2000 rpm and 1500 rpm. The data were then analyzed using Shapiro-wilk and Paired Samples T-test. Statistic test shows a difference of STH eggs profile between 3000 rpm 10 minutes and 2000 rpm 5 & 10 minutes, and 3000 rpm 3 & 5 minutes, between 2000 rpm 3 minutes and 1500 rpm 5 minutes, between 2000 rpm 10 minutes and 1500 rpm 5 minutes dan 200 rpm 3 minutes, between 3000 rpm 5 minutes and 2000 rpm 3 minutes (p < 0.05). There is an effect of variations in time and speed of centrifugation on the profile of STH eggs.

Implementing a box culvert system on bridges is an economical choice due to the reduced material use. This system has a joint that blends between the slab and the abutment walls and pillars. With a stiffer joint, the moment that occurs is smaller than a simple beam system. Box culvert foundations are commonly shallow foundations. Consequently, it is vulnerable to settlement, particularly the abutments that receive soil loads from the bridge embankment. Therefore, making the displacement in the abutments greater than in the pillars. The existing box culvert structure at the study site in Semarang, Indonesia has a span of 2 x 15 meters. Reinforcement has been previously carried out using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) to treat cracks. Though, as time passed, the treated cracks reopened and new cracks developed. Structural cracks occur at a negative moment, so that the reinforcement yielded. A reinforcement using CFRP does not increase stiffness—thus, a reinforcement with adding external reinforcement system is used. This reinforcement is done by adding 400 x 200 WF profile—connected mechanically by attaching anchors to the slab. Reinforcement with a WF profile is safer due to its mechanical system, which makes it easier to implement and monitor.  

Soil in a construction must have a high soil density value, a high soil density value affects the carrying capacity of the soil in carrying the load on it. dynamic cone penetration test / DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) is often performed. To get the CBR value, the DCP test results are correlated with a DCP-CBR Value Correlation formula. However, to anticipate deficiencies in the CBR-DCP correlation test, it is necessary to correct it with the DCP-CBR Correlation Formula from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing which is generally accepted for all regions of Indonesia. This research was conducted by conducting DCP tests at 8 points in the field and then taking soil samples which would then be taken to the laboratory to test the physical properties of the soil. After all the data has been obtained, then analyze and formulate the DCP – CBR correlation formula and compare it with the correlation formula. After doing the research, it is found that the DCP – CBR correlation formula model studied has the formula Log CBR = 3.2322 – 1.512 Log DCP, where this formula is generally in accordance with the DCP – CBR correlation formula from the Ministry of Public Works because of the position of the curve. slightly above the curve of the DCP-CBR Correlation formula of the Ministry of PUPR

The method used is the manual calculation method using the productivity formula, time calculation and soil excavation volume calculation to produce the effective time during the use of Rock Drill Breaker . Based on the results of productivity calculations on excavation work using a Rock Drill Breaker with an hourly production of 23.86 m3/hour, daily production of 166.9 m3/day with a time of 83 days. The results of this study indicate that good management and utilization of heavy equipment can accelerate the expected target time.

Water is very important for all aspects of life on earth, agriculture is one of the fields that really need large amounts of water because of the use of water in the process of plant photosynthesis. Water that has good quality is if the water is not excessively polluted by harmful chemicals or minerals. One indicator that water is polluted is a change in temperature and pH (acidity) of the water. Temperatures that are too hot in the water will interfere with the growth of plants and other microorganisms. While the normal pH of water has a pH that ranges from 6.5 to 7.5. The quality of water and soil is very important in agriculture. The level of acidity (pH) and soil temperature are one of the things that affect plant fertility. Therefore, the quality of water and soil on agricultural land is one of the important things that needs special attention in its management. One solution so that water and soil quality can be monitored and managed efficiently is to utilize a Wireless Sensor Network based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of the ESP8266 Module as a WIFI module, is widely used by Internet of Things-based applications because the price is cheap so it reduces a lot of costs and has a fairly good speed of 80 MHz. This study aims to develop the concept of a Wireless Sensor Network by utilizing the ESP8266 module to monitor pH values using a pH Meter Analog Kit sensor and temperature from agricultural land using a DS18B20 Waterproof sensor and can be monitored at any time using a smartphone.

In essence, every religion wants its adherents to live peacefully in the midst of religious and cultural diversity. However, this hope does not always materialize in the construction of real life on Indonesian soil with the presence of inter-religious and inter-ethnic conflicts. Conflict experiences become endless lessons as an effort to maintain peace and harmony in religious life. A number of local praxis and initiatives were raised to untangle the tangled threads of inter-religious conflicts in Indonesia by prioritizing a balanced way of religious life that does not view others as opponents. This study of reciprocity in relation to religious moderation originates from the local context of Larantuka and draws its relevance to efforts to inculcate religious moderation in Indonesia. In a more specific context, the focus of this study is to describe the practical life of religious communities in the city of Larantuka, East Flores, East Nusa Tenggara which can be seen as the foundation and medium for grounding the ideals of religious moderation in Indonesia. The praxis of life in question is the reciprocity of young students in the city of Larantuka both within the school environment and among people who have different religious and ethnic backgrounds. Therefore, the basic question is how reciprocity among students in the city of Larantuka can become an inspiration and basis for efforts to instill religious moderation.
