A quantitative geophysical–geotechnical framework for slope stability analysis using electrical resistivity tomography

Abstract Slope instability constitutes a major constraint on infrastructure development in geologically complex and rapidly urbanizing regions such as West Java, Indonesia. Reliable slope stability analysis requires spatial characterization of subsurface mechanical parameters, in...

Assessing microbial resistance to Artocarpus heterophyllus leaf–mediated AgNO3 colloidal aggregates using adaptive laboratory evolution

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance poses a major global health challenge, highlighting the need for alternative antimicrobial strategies. In this study, silver-containing colloidal aggregates were synthesized using an extract from Artocarpus heterophyllus leaves and evaluated for...

Combined effects of twin-screw extrusion parameters on physical, morphological, and microstructural properties of cassava-based analog rice

The production of analog rice has emerged as a potential approach for food fortification and diversification, particularly for populations that depend on rice as a staple food. Although the production of analog rice through extrusion has been widely practiced, detailed scientific...

Interstitial Rare-Earth Doping of FAPbI3 Perovskite Nanocrystals under Mild Ambient Conditions

Abstract The rare-earth (RE) metal doping strategies have been investigated for many applications in perovskite materials. However, prior approaches to synthesizing RE-doped perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have predominantly required harsh synthesis conditions, including an inert...

A Decade of Machine Learning for Adsorption of Emerging Contaminants: A Systematic Review of Algorithms, Performance, and Methodological Transparency

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly applied to predict and optimize adsorption-based removal of emerging contaminants (ECs) from water, yet the literature remains fragmented across diverse algorithms, adsorbents, and pollutant classes, and existing reviews of the topic report n...

Experimental investigation of ship airwake with wave-induced motions

The turbulent airwake over a moving ship is experimentally investigated in a wind-wave facility using a 1:200 scaled NATO-GD model. Three motion scenarios are examined: heaving, pitching, and combined motions, naturally driven by incoming waves. Particle Image Velocimetry measure...

Tourist Preparedness for Tsunami Hazards in Sustainable Coastal Tourism: A Protection Motivation Theory Approach in Pangandaran, Indonesia

Tourists visiting tsunami-prone destinations often have limited familiarity with local hazards, making preparedness important for sustainable coastal tourism and disaster risk reduction. This study examines the determinants of tourist preparedness in Pangandaran, Indonesia, using...

Ranking microbial risk of self-supplied groundwater in urban Indonesia

Abstract In Indonesia, 61% of urban households use self-supplied groundwater, with 24% relying on it as a primary drinking water source. Many self-supplied sources contain faecal contamination, posing health risks. Identifying locations with elevated contamination risk can help t...

How strategy becomes performance: execution consistency and performance management systems as transmission mechanisms

Purpose Strategies often fail to deliver expected performance, yet the mechanisms linking business strategy (BS) to firm performance (FP) remain unclear. This study examined whether this relationship in a state-owned enterprise (SOE) operates directly or through performance manag...

Adaptive multidimensional rebalancing for customer churn prediction in marketing analytics

Background Customer churn prediction is a strategic imperative for maximizing Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and optimizing retention return on investment (ROI). However, real-world churn datasets suffer from severe class imbalance and high-dimensional class overlap, causing conve...

Tsunami-Resilient Coastal Reconstruction in Japan After the 2011 M9 Earthquake and Tsunami: Field Surveys and Numerical Modelling

Abstract For the first time, this study presents a critical assessment of Japan’s coastal reconstruction following the March 2011 M 9.0 earthquake and tsunami, integrating numerical modelling with field surveys. Extensive surveys were conducted at 20 coastal sites, comparing post...

Multiscale damage modeling of quasi-UD composites using image-based homogenization

This study presents a multiscale micro–meso homogenization framework to efficiently capture transverse strength and damage progression in quasi-UD composites. At the micro-scale, representative volume elements with systematically varied fiber volume fraction and inter-fiber spaci...

Preliminary assessment of airborne microplastics: a case study of Bandung City, Indonesia

Despite the growing concern surrounding airborne microplastics (AMPs), their size-dependent behavior in tropical urban environments remains poorly understood. This study provides a preliminary assessment of the concentration, polymer composition, morphology, and size-segregated a...

A population representative XAI framework for transparent dysglycemia screening in Indonesia

Deploying trustworthy AI requires more than predictive accuracy; it demands population-representative data, transparent explainability, and user-centered design. Despite rapid mobile penetration across Southeast Asia, existing AI-based health tools remain predominantly trained on...

Third places and student well-being: informal campus geographies at Institut Teknologi Bandung

The concept of third places within universities has been explored in various settings, such as libraries, student centres, and digital platforms, as spaces that facilitate interaction beyond the formal classroom. While research has often focused on libraries, student centres, and...

An Indicator-Centric Knowledge Graph Model for Semantic Integration and Traceability of Official Statistical Indicators

Official statistical indicators are essential for monitoring progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, indicator data, metadata, source datasets, producing agencies, and global SDG references are often managed and disseminated in separate structures, limi...

Development of a YOLOv9 model with angle loss for automatic detection of landmarks and cephalometric analysis

Abstract Artificial intelligence has been widely applied to identify anatomical landmarks on lateral cephalometric radiographs, reducing localization errors and improving the efficiency of cephalometric analysis. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an automated cephalometric...

Ergo-PAS: Validation of a smartphone-based real-time posture warning system for ergonomic risk intervention in construction work

Background Construction workers are highly exposed to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) owing to awkward and repetitive postures. Traditional ergonomic tools lack real-time feedback, and motion-capture systems are impractical for field use. Smartphone-based inertial measurement un...
