However, the sustainability of alcoholic beverage products such as Arak Bali can be affected by various factors, including temperature and storage time. This study aims to investigate the effect of temperature and storage time period on alcohol content in Balinese Arak infused with pineapple. This study used the Quasi Experimental method with a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) design of 2 factors, namely temperature factors and storage time factors. The results of the analysis showed that the Methanol content in the Bali Arak sample had negative results. In samples stored at 1ºC–8ºC for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, the Ethanol content ranged from 16.38% to 17.27%. Meanwhile, samples stored at temperatures of 24ºC–30ºC during the same period had Ethanol content ranging from 17.27% to 20.49%. The results of statistical analysis using Two Way Anova show that there is a significant influence of temperature and storage time on alcohol content in Balinese Arak infused with pineapple. The results of this study provide further understanding of the factors that influence the stability and characteristics of traditional drinks such as Balinese Arak, and can be a guide in the development of sustainable and quality alcoholic beverage products.</p> 2023-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Natural Science and Engineering https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/IJNSE/article/view/62085 The Relationship of Facial Skin Personal Hygiene to The Onset of Acne (Acne Vulgaris) in Adolescent Boys 2024-06-02T22:10:24+00:00 Indah Sri Damayanti indahsridamayanti108@gmail.com Prima Minerva prima.minerva@fpp.unp.ac.id <p>Acne is a common problem that often occurs at a young age and is influenced by factors such as climate, hygiene, cosmetic use, age, race, diet, gender, and genetics.

Sanggilalung mihuandayani20@gmail.com Supit Mamuaya mihuandayani20@gmail.com <p>Human resource management is the important part of the company, it can affect the success of the company. In the process of selecting new employees at the company, several problems often occur such as ineffective time, the company still sorts out the prospective employee files conventionally and then compared them with other files for assessment, so it took a long time because there are many applicants who apply with different quality. In addition, there can be subjectivity to the data from the assessment results of prospective employees for certain reasons such as having emotional closeness with stakeholders. It needed a system to handle these problems such as Decision Support System (DSS). This study proposed the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) approach in evaluating prospective employees. There are five criteria used in this study, namely written tests, interviews, education, award certificates, and work experience. This decision support system can help stakeholders, especially the head of the company's branches, to determine the best candidate for employees with accurate and objective results. In this research, a comparison was also made between the SMART method and a manual system, which obtained an accuracy rate of 91.33% with the proposed method. The SMART method can be an effective and reliable option for selecting job candidates, as it can minimize errors and improve recruitment efficiency, thereby positively impacting company productivity and employee performance.</p> 2023-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Natural Science and Engineering https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/IJNSE/article/view/65908 Gamma Spectroscopy Prototype Design to Identify Radioactive Elements 2024-06-02T22:10:16+00:00 Rony Djokorayono utomo@brin.go.id Santiko Tri Sulaksono utomo@brin.go.id Haryo Seno utomo@brin.go.id Utomo utomo@brin.go.id Hasriyasti Saptowati utomo@brin.go.id Puji Santoso utomo@brin.go.id Ferly Hermana utomo@brin.go.id Wiranto BS utomo@brin.go.id Agus Sumaryanto utomo@brin.go.id <p>The identification system for radioactive elements used the single-channel analyzer (SCA) gamma spectroscopy method. However, the process of producing the spectrum was still quite long because it had to go through the process manually by scanning its energy; one of the other radioactive elements is gamma spectroscopy. This research aims to develop a prototype gamma spectroscopy that allows the identification of radioactive elements. In this study, researchers used an experimental method by designing a gamma spectroscopy prototype consisting of a 2.5 cm diameter NaI(TL) detector equipped with a photomultiplier, high voltage module, preamp module, pulse shaping module, sample hold module, and Atmega microcontroller with an LCD display resolution of 128 × 64. The results of testing this prototype were carried out with various radioactive samples. Researchers managed to identify radioactive elements by measuring electrical pulses produced by NaI(TL) detectors. Background counting, which is the result of enumeration from detectors without radioactive material, was identified and eliminated. The distribution pattern has a random nature, the energy resolution of the spectroscopy consists of 1024 channels, and the counting time can be set as needed via the reset button. The main finding of the study was that the gamma spectroscopy prototype was able to provide a clear picture of the energy spectrum of nuclear radiation, allowing good identification of radioactive elements. The results of this study have important implications in the field of identification of radioactive elements and can be used in a variety of scientific and industrial applications involving nuclear radiation.</p> 2023-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Natural Science and Engineering https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/IJNSE/article/view/62440 Leucocyte Value as a Signs of Microvascular Inflammation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients 2024-06-02T22:10:19+00:00 Ria Amelia ria.amelia@stikesmitrakeluarga.ac.id Fadila Aulia riacaramel@gmail.com Danny Luhulima riacaramel@gmail.com <p>Problems in the pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to complications are often overlooked, and routine blood tests are rarely performed in individuals with T2DM. Inflammation is an important early sign for detecting complications. One of the factors that can be used as an indicator of inflammation is the value of leukocytes. The purpose of this study was to assess leukocyte counts in patients with T2DM as a sign of inflammation in T2DM patients. This study used a cross-sectional approach method, with data analyzed descriptively and correlative using SPSS software. The subjects of the study involved residents assisted by the Kota Baru and Kalibaru Health Centers who suffered from DMT2 in the period from January to February 2019. The results of the Pearson test showed a value of p = 0.49, which indicated that there was no significant relationship between leucocytosis and blood glucose levels. The conclusion of this study is that the high number of leukocytes in T2DM patients is thought not to be caused by high blood glucose levels, but may be influenced by other factors related to the development of complications of T2DM disease. This research has important implications in understanding the pathogenesis and prevention of complications of T2DM.</p> 2023-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Natural Science and Engineering https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/IJNSE/article/view/67866 Groundwater Quality Analysis Based on Physical Properties of The Gunungtiga and Surrounding Areas 2024-06-02T22:10:12+00:00 Zaki Hilman zaki.hilman@gl.itera.ac.id Angga Jati Widiatama zaki.hilman@gl.itera.ac.id Dion Awfa dion.awfa@tl.itera.ac.id Bilal Alfarishi zaki.hilman@gl.itera.ac.id Wisnu Prayogo wisnuprayogo@unimed.ac.id Depri zaki.hilman@gl.itera.ac.id <p>Gunungtiga area has never been studied for the quality of groundwater, and residents have also complained about the quality of groundwater, these became the basis for selecting the research location. This study aims to analyze groundwater quality in the Gunungtiga Region, Lampung Province. Quantitative approached was used for this research, it was carried out by mapping the groundwater level to estimate the recharge area and collecting data on parameters of the physical properties of groundwater, including color, taste, odor, temperature, pH, TDS, and EC. The physical properties approach was selected because it is relatively cheap and easy to observe, the data collection can also be done in situ. The physical property parameter data is then checked based on the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation No. 492 of 2010. The observations at 14 points showed that the groundwater level in the research area is relatively shallow towards the west or in the direction with higher topography, so it can be interpreted as a recharge area, and it flowed towards the east area which has lower topography. The physical properties of the groundwater had no taste, odor, or color. The EC value ranges from 188.07 to 1066.82 µs/cm, including fresh water, the pH ranges from 5.41 to 7.5, the temperature ranges from 27.2 to 29.7 0C, and the TDS value ranges from 94. 04-542.91 mg/l. Of the 14 observation points, only 1 location met the quality standards, namely 22/DP/02. Treatment is required before groundwater can be used, such as filtering.</p> 2023-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Natural Science and Engineering https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/IJNSE/article/view/76448 Sarung Tangan Pemeriksa Kesehatan Ayam Pedaging (SASETAN) Terintegrasi dengan Teknologi Arduino Uno 2024-06-02T22:10:30+00:00 Putu Restu Hardita restuhardita@gmail.com I Gusti Komang Agus Angga Putra Widiarta anggaputra@gmail.com I Gede Wahyu Suwela Antara wahyusuwelaa@gmail.com <p>Ayam pedaging mempunyai sifat genetik yang cepat dalam pertumbuhan, tetapi sangat rentan terhadap penyakit yang diakibatkan oleh mikroorganisme, hal ini menyebabkan para peternak ayam pedaging mengeluh akan kematian ayamnya secara tiba tiba. Para peternak ayam pedaging biasanya memeriksa kesehatan ayamnya dengan mengamati secara lansung, namun hal tersebut kurang efektif karena, jika hanya melihat dari segi tampilan fisiknya saja tidak menjamin kesehatan dari ayam itu sendiri. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis serta mengatasi permasalahan kesehatan ayam pedaging, dengan inovasi yang juga bertujuan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan pangan di Indonesia melalui peningkatan kualitas ayam pedaging. SASETAN merupakan sebuah inovasi dengan mengguakan metode penelitian kuantitatif serta melakukan percobaan kepada subjek ayam sebanyak 30 ekor ayam pedaging.

Biomass of Graphene Oxide (GO) is a submicrometer-thick material with unique and specific properties. GO can be entirely impermeable to liquids, vapors, and gases. It has water dispersibility and a huge specific surface area that is the potential material suitable for filtration loss control agents of water-based mud fluid. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Oil Palm Shell Graphene Oxide Biomass as an additif material to filtration control in water-based mud fluid. Making GO biomass sample starts from biomass Oil Palm Shell into graphite biomass, then the graphite biomass was sinthesized using an ultrasound-assisted liquid Phase Exfoliation (LPE) method to obtain thin GO biomass. Graphite biomass and GO biomass were characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis Spectroscopy and SEM-EDX. Drilling fluid samples with graphite biomass and GO biomass were prepared by adding 0.5 gr Graphite biomass and GO biomass into the based fluid (water-based bentonite fluid), The Filtration loss and the mud cake thickness of all the samples are measured and compared. Based on the measurement results, GO biomass additive is very effective in reducing fluid loss compare to graphite biomass additif. The volume of fluid lost was decreases from 13.9 ml to 10.8 ml compare to graphite biomass which was only able to decrease it to 12,3 ml.</p> 2023-12-22T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Natural Science and Engineering
