Indonesia has many oil palm plantation areas. One of the negative impacts is the large amount of empty fruit bunch (EFB) waste. Utilizing EFB as a bio pellet as a renewable energy source is one of the solutions to reduce waste while supporting the green energy transition. EFB bio-pellets have the potential to replace fossil fuels, but face challenges in setting good quality standards. The production process of EFB bio-pellets uses a variety of binder contents. This study aims to analyze the influence of different levels of binder content on the quality of bio-pellet products. Statistical analysis of linear regression was performed to measure energy consumption and motor performance in the production process of EFB bio-pellets. This study provides recommendations to help maximize the quality and efficiency of the bio-pellet production process from palm oil EFB waste.

Miniaturized circular fractal patch antenna with defected ground structure for high-selectivity dual-band X-band applications

10.11591/ijaas.v15.i1.pp372-383
Raju Thommandru , Rengaraj Saravanakumar
Microstrip patch antennas are easily fabricated and have a low profile, making them widely used in radar, satellite, and defence applications. Achieving high selectivity and miniaturization in X-band dual-band operation remains a challenge. Conventional designs using simple patch geometries and defected ground structures (DGS) often exhibit limited bandwidth, poor impedance matching, and reduced gain. To address these limitations, this work presents a miniaturized circular fractal patch antenna with an optimized DGS to enhance frequency selectivity, improve impedance matching, and maintain compact size. Circular fractal slots are introduced in the radiating patch to extend the effective current path while preserving the footprint. A centrally placed diamond-shaped slot provides capacitive loading that aids impedance tuning. Electromagnetic simulations were conducted in Ansys HFSS 2023 R2, and a prototype was fabricated on an FR-4 substrate with εr = 4.4, loss tangent = 0.02, and thickness 1.6mm. Measurements verify two passbands: 8.637–9.173GHz (center 8.8025GHz, return loss −22.0267dB, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) 1.1720, gain 4.82dB, efficiency 63.51%) and 10.121–10.956GHz (center 10.3700GHz, return loss −25.2864dB, VSWR 1.1199, gain 3.42dB, efficiency 72.58%). The antenna shows steady radiation and improved matching across both bands, supporting use in compact X-band front ends.

Bioethanol is a clean alternative energy source, with wild cassava (Manihot glaziovii Muell. Arg) as a potential feedstock. Fermentation converts glucose from hydrolysis into ethanol. This study examines the effects of pH and fermentation temperature on bioethanol characteristics using a simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) technique. A factorial randomized block design (RBD) was used with two factors: pH (4.5, 5.0, and 5.5) and fermentation temperature (30, 32.5, and 35 °C). Data were analyzed using variance and Duncan’s test. Results showed that pH and temperature significantly affected pH value, total soluble solids, reducing sugar, and ethanol content. The optimal conditions for bioethanol production were pH 4.5 and temperature 32.5 °C, yielding a pH of 3.55±0.07, total soluble solids of 9.3±0.57 °Brix, reducing sugar of 3.038±0.10 mg/mL, and ethanol content of 3.48±0.37 (%w/v). Based on the results of this study, wild cassava can be utilized as bioethanol by considering the effect of fermentation conditions.

Sleep disorders are common and can significantly harm human health, with insomnia and sleep apnea being the most prevalent conditions. These disorders are often difficult to detect and treat accurately. Although machine learning (ML) techniques have shown promise in improving diagnostic precision and personalized treatment, most existing studies rely on single source data or conventional ML models, which limit their robustness and generalizability across diverse populations. To address this research gap, this study integrates multi-modal data and ensemble learning techniques to enhance accuracy, interpretability, and real-time applicability in diagnosing insomnia and sleep apnea. A dataset of 400 samples was collected through manual methods and internet of things (IoT) devices from multiple sources. Statistical techniques were applied for data cleaning, followed by principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce dimensionality and improve training efficiency. Four base ML models: decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), naive Bayes (NB), and random forest (RF) were initially trained and evaluated. Subsequently, a boosting-based ensemble model was implemented to further improve performance. The proposed gradient boosting model with RF as the base learner achieved the highest diagnostic accuracy of 96.01%. The results demonstrate that ensemble ML models combined with multi-modal data significantly enhance the accuracy of insomnia and sleep apnea diagnosis.

Economic instability can easily lead to a currency crisis. Therefore, observing a number of crisis indicators is crucial for building an early warning system (EWS). However, selecting the indicators most responsive to the crisis is the best choice. For this purpose, the noise-to-signal ratio (NSR) method was used. Monthly data from 1990-1925 were used in the autoregressive moving average (ARMA), generalized autoregressive moving average with generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARMACH), and Markov-switching (MS)-GARMACH hybrid models to explain the crisis. Model interpretation indicates that there will be no crisis from May 2025-April 2026.

Enhancing service reliability in heavy-duty commercial vehicles industry

10.11591/ijaas.v15.i1.pp99-106
Jonny Jonny , Januar Nasution
Reducing breakdown lead time is a critical factor in ensuring customer productivity and sustaining competitiveness in the heavy-duty commercial vehicle (HDCV) industry. This was tackled by applying a methodology called define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC), which stands for DMAIC. By deploying it, the breakdown lead time of an Indonesian HDCV company can be minimized. Before the initiative, the lead time was 4 days with 81.54% or 815,400 defects per million opportunities (DPMO) or less than 1 sigma with only 303 parts within target. The reduction target was 2 days as required by its customers, with 40% or 400,000 DPMO or less than 2 sigmas, with 658 parts within target. After following the methodology, the lead time was less than 2 days, meeting customer requirements with 31.2% or 312,000 DPMO, or about 2 sigmas. It shows an improved lead time, which is less than 2 days from 4 days, and a sigma level which is less than 2 sigmas from less than 1 sigma, with 908 parts within target. The study demonstrates how integrating digital applications, remanufactured spare parts, and a centralized command center significantly shortens breakdown handling.

Application of fuzzy logic for the evaluation of student academic performance in biomedical subjects

10.11591/ijaas.v15.i1.pp236-244

Conventional educational systems primarily use rigid assessment models that narrowly define student achievement through examination scores, categorizing outcomes into success or failure. Fuzzy logic, a mathematical approach derived from set theory, provides a more flexible framework capable of capturing uncertainty and gradations in performance. Initially applied in engineering and artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic has shown significant promise in educational contexts where nuanced evaluation is essential. This study applies a fuzzy logic-based methodology to the evaluation of biomedical course performance at the Sports University of Tirana, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences. Data were collected from fifty students enrolled in biomedical subjects and analyzed through both classical examination grading and fuzzy logic evaluation. Comparative analysis revealed that while classical assessment remains constrained by static calculations, fuzzy logic introduces dynamic adaptability. The findings highlight the superiority of fuzzy logic over traditional methods in providing a multidimensional picture of academic achievement. This approach not only refines evaluation accuracy but also supports fairer and more individualized assessment practices. Consequently, fuzzy logic emerges as a powerful tool for modernizing educational evaluation systems, particularly in biomedical disciplines where learning outcomes often extend beyond conventional metrics.

One of the biggest obstacles that any finance provider has when evaluating a borrower's creditworthiness is the prediction of financial trouble. The credit decision-making process is made more difficult for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to their inherent ambiguity, which raises financing costs and lowers the chance of approval. In order to estimate a binomial classifier for predicting financial hardship using logistic regression (LR), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques, this study examines data from batik SMEs in Pekalongan city. Financial ratios predict the first period and grow in a multi-period model based on temporal factors, credit history, and age. Financial distress is defined as a substantial obstacle to a business's capacity to pay its debts as opposed to the potential for bankruptcy. The long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm with more variables yields the best prediction accuracy. The study's conclusion indicates that in order to guarantee the accuracy of financial distress prediction, the time at risk must be adjusted.

This paper presents a model of a batteryless off-grid photovoltaic (PV) system with an adaptive multi-motor load. This model is developed as an effort to enhance the power output of batteryless off-grid PV systems for motor loads. Instead of using a single large-capacity motor, as commonly done in previous studies, the model distributes the load into several smaller motors and controls them adaptively. This approach allows for better control of the total load impedance to support maximum power point (MPP) tracking. A case study involving three three-phase induction motors, each with an operating power of 200 W, is conducted, where the power production of the proposed model is analysed by comparing it with the theoretical MPP and a fixed-load motor system that represents a single large motor. Under 1000 W/m² irradiance and using an 852 Wp PV array, the proposed model achieves a power output of 842 W, which corresponds to 98.83% of the MPP. In contrast, the system without this model only generates 298 W, or just 35.02% of the MPP. The testing process spans a 5-second period during the motor starting state. The power production analysis of the proposed model is presented in graphical form using MATLAB/Simulink.

This research aims to develop innovative information services to strengthen decision-making in climate change mitigation through a scoping review and bibliometric analysis (ScoRBA). A systematic search of the Scopus database identified 1,214 publications from 2009 to 2023, with 383 meeting inclusion criteria. Using the patterns, advances, gaps, evidence, and recommendations (PAGER) framework, this research provides a transparent synthesis of evidence on climate information services (CIS). The analysis reveals four major thematic clusters: i) emerging technologies and innovations, ii) climate and environmental studies, iii) information systems and decision making, and iv) context awareness and applications. Technologies such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), internet of things (IoT), and cloud computing are key enablers for improving CIS accuracy and efficiency. Evidence shows that these technologies have been successfully applied in agriculture and aquaculture across Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Australia. North African countries have adopted IoT-based water management systems to address water scarcity, while India employs similar technologies to optimize agricultural resources. Integrating local knowledge with scientific data—particularly in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America—has proven essential for effective adaptation strategies. This research advances theoretical and practical understanding of CIS, offering evidence-based insights to guide the development of adaptive and equitable climate information frameworks.

ISTD-LIOM: Direct LiDAR-inertial odometry and mapping with intensity-enhanced stable triangle descriptor

10.11591/ijra.v15i1.pp52-62

To address the cumulative drift problem of light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-inertial odometry (LIO) in long-duration localization and mapping tasks, this paper proposes a LiDAR-inertial odometry and mapping system, intensity-enhanced stable triangle descriptor-LiDAR-inertial odometry and mapping (ISTD-LIOM), based on the intensity-enhanced stable triangle descriptor (ISTD). This system, built on the FAST-LIO2 front-end architecture, achieves global consistency localization through loop closure detection and global optimization. First, we design the ISTD descriptor by combining geometric descriptors of triangles (including vertex plane normal vectors and edge lengths) with local intensity distribution descriptors to form a compact, rotation-invariant feature representation. Next, an adaptive keyframe management mechanism is constructed, which filters keyframes based on inter-frame relative poses and generates a descriptor database. A hybrid retrieval strategy is then proposed, which combines descriptor similarity matching and spatial distance filtering, forming an efficient loop closure candidate recognition mechanism. After applying plane iterative closest point (ICP) refinement and geometric-intensity consistency validation, the loop closure constraints are integrated into a pose graph optimization framework, correcting odometry drift. Experiments on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that the ISTD-LIOM system significantly enhances map global consistency while maintaining real-time computational performance.

Real-time control signal rectification and actuation mapping for robot joint control

10.11591/ijra.v15i1.pp43-51
Addie Irawan , Akhtar Razul Razali , Aliza Che Amran , Hamzah Ahmad
This paper presents the control signal rectification and actuation mapping (CSRAM) framework, developed to improve the reliability and precision of real-time robot joint control. The framework integrates three modules, namely the drive signal rectifier (DSR), the signal pole detector (SPD), and the rising/downstream detector (RDD), which ensure signal compatibility, dynamic mapping consistency, and directional stability during actuation. Unlike conventional control converters, CSRAM effectively compensates for nonlinearities, latency, and synchronization issues in closed-loop systems. Experimental validation using a hexapod-to-quadruped (Hexaquad) robot showed that the proposed method, when combined with an anti-windup PI controller, reduced steady-state error from 14% to below 1%, improved transient and settling times by 0.3 to 0.4 seconds, and decreased three-dimensional trajectory RMSE by 63.7%. These results confirm that CSRAM provides a low-complexity and computationally efficient preprocessing layer for improving real-time performance in multi-joint and legged robotic systems, with strong potential for adaptive and industrial robotic platforms.
