The role of a small town in the flow of agricultural commodities with its hinterlands before and after the construction of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (case study: Kalianda District South Lampung Regency Indonesia)

Linkages between rural and urban areas assist numerous regions in a variety of ways. As a meeting place for villages and cities, a small town with hinterlands of agricultural areas acts as a market for village commodities, intermediary markets in larger markets, places for agricultural processing, places for production facilities, and a center for other activities. The construction of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS), which crosses Kalianda District as a small town connecting several big cities, allows Kalianda alters its role. This study aims to examine the flow of agricultural commodities in a small town and its hinterlands and analyzed the role of small towns before and after the construction of JTTS. The data analysis was carried out by creating an Origin-Destination Map and providing the description. The results showed that seven agricultural commodities sold in Kalianda Market came from seven sources (origin), while commodities in rural areas had four selling destinations area. The small town illustrates its proper function as an intermediary market for larger markets, centers of health activities, administrative services, and banking services. However, the small town has not been able to play much of a role as an intermediary market for larger markets, rural commodity processing places, and places to find high-order goods. The small town is also incapable of being a destination for the identification of agricultural production facilities. In general, the existence of JTTS does not significantly change the role of small towns.

Incorporation of phosphogypsum with cement in rigid Pavement: An approach towards sustainable development

Phosphogypsum is used in the chemical industry to produce phosphoric acid, a crucial ingredient in numerous types of fertilizers. To reduce environmental damage, numerous initiatives are seeking to include various types of solid waste in the concrete production process. Phosphogypsum, a by-product of an industry that is included in regular cement concrete, is the primary subject of this study. Phosphogypsum is a waste product from agricultural chemical and fertilizer production facilities. Phosphogypsum can be used as a partial replacement for cement in conventional concrete mixes, although its strength is diminished by the presence of impurities in the calcined material it contains. This experimental study suggests that phosphogypsum from industrial waste can be used as a cement substitute in concrete production. After 7 and 28 days, fresh and hardened concrete cubes of fresh concrete and hardened concrete were tested for compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, and workability, respectively. For the M25 design mix, a water-cement ratio of 0.45 was used, and phosphogypsum was added at 5 %, 7.5 %, 10 %, and 12.5 % to partially replace the cement. The most important result of this study is that maximum strength can be attained by replacing up to 10 % of the cement with phosphogypsum. The strength typically drops when more cement than this is utilized in the replacement.

Smart Energy Management System for Electric Vehicles Using IoT Technology

As electric vehicles become more popular, it's crucial to monitor the health and performance of their batteries to ensure optimal efficiency and longevity. In this paper, we propose an IoT-based battery monitoring system that leverages wireless communication and cloud computing to collect and analyze battery data in real-time. Our system consists of three main components: battery sensors, a gateway device, and a cloud platform. The battery sensors are placed in each battery cell to measure key parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge. These sensors transmit data wirelessly to the gateway device, which aggregates and processes the data before sending it to the cloud plat form. Our system offers several benefits, including improved battery performance, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced safety. By leveraging IoT and cloud technologies, we can provide real-time monitoring and analysis of battery data, enabling more informed decision-making and proactive maintenance. At the present time, the resources that we use for electricity are costly and inefficient. That is why we must rely on those that are of in the least harmful to the environment and inexpensive. photovoltaic cells are used in applications that allow the use of taking solar energy and expanding it into electricity most of the solar systems are situated in sparsely populated regions, large-scale agricultural communities, as well as in medium-sized farm sites and smaller, agricultural local agricultural production facilities that have power grids. For a machine to function, it must be operated by a human. This is a hardware- timed sensor system that tracks various variables, like temperature, voltage, and fire and battery percentage and reports them on the cloud so you can see exactly when everything has reached the right value.

Analysis of Farmer’s Group Functions in the Adoption Process of Superior Seed Innovation in Waimital Village, Kairatu District

The objective of this research was to analyze the function of farmer groups in the process of adopting superior seed innovation in Waimital Village, including Inpari Sidenuk. The research was conducted in Waimital Village as one of the centers of rice production in Maluku. The research population was all farmer groups who participated in the trial of planting superior seeds of Inpari Sidenuk, there were 11 groups and all of groups was taken as sample with 82 farmers as group member. The data were analyzed using a simple statistical test, namely cross tabulation and then was interpreted according to the research objectives. The results showed that according to the farmers the function of farmer groups (as a vehicle for learning and for collaboration) was useful in general, but in making the decision to adopt or not to adopt a superior seed, including Inpari Sidenuk, there was no farmer group involvement. Each farmer was free to decide whether or not to adopt the new superior seeds. After the trial planting, the majority of farmers did not adopt seeds of Inpari Sidenuk because they worried about the availability of the seed and other production facilities and the difficulties to sell the yields. These worries should be anticipated by farmer groups by increasing the capacity of farmer groups as a vehicle for learning and collaboration. For example, making farmer groups as "farm shops" and as "farm product marketing agents". For this, it is necessary to make improvements of farmer group management, make cooperation with distributors of agricultural production facilities and with product buyers. Another thing is to keep quality, quantity, and continuously product.

Methods of system analysis of world experience in the use of technical means for air purification, mathematical modeling, engineering methods of modeling and generally accepted experimental studies of electrical means for air purification, analysis of the results of production tests of air purification systems under different conditions of application were used. Results. In order to ensure the normative parameters of the air and purification from pathogenic microflora and most types of harmful impurities of chemical and biological origin in industrial, agricultural, medical, educational, public and other premises, an air purification system (APS) using ultraviolet radiation and ozonation is proposed, technical, technological and energy aspects of its application in livestock and other industrial premises, dependencies for the calculation of basic technical indicators are given. Conclusions 1. The use of the combined action of UVB radiation and ozone provides a significant increase in the efficiency of air purification from harmful impurities of chemical and biological origin due to the acceleration of the decay of ozone molecules, the formation of a high concentration of oxygen atoms, which leads to the intensification of oxidation of harmful impurities (photooxidation), as well as a decrease in the concentration of ozone at the outlet of the installation and in the room. 1. To achieve a bactericidal efficiency of more than 95 % by the purification system, it is necessary to double the radiation power: to achieve APS with an air capacity = 1 thousand m3/h of bactericidal efficiency = 90 %, the required power of bactericidal radiation = 93 W, and for = 99 % – = 186 W, therefore, it is advisable to apply a feasibility study in agricultural production facilities. 1. According to the results of production tests of the energy-efficient ventilation system with the use of APS, it was found that the efficiency of ammonia cleaning was 45–60 %, and the reduction of energy consumption when creating a microclimate during the heating season – up to 80 %. Keywords: ultraviolet light, ozonation, photo oxidation, air purification, microclimate.

Village Funds in Indonesia: Impacts on Sustainable Agricultural Development

This study examines the implementation of village funds allocated by the Indonesian government to boost agricultural growth in rural regions, with a focus on promoting sustainable farming practices among its 270.2 million populace. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method and secondary data analysis, our findings underscore the crucial role of infrastructure development in improving access to agricultural production and distribution facilities. Although village funds have significantly bolstered the physical infrastructure facilitating farming operations, enhancing institutional frameworks, and spurring complementary agricultural ventures, our analysis indicates a disproportionate emphasis on infrastructure over human capital investments. As agriculture remains a dominant economic pursuit in rural Indonesia, it is vital that future allocations strike a balance between infrastructure and human resources. An integrated approach not only promotes food self-sufficiency and rural livelihood enhancements but also aligns with sustainable development goals, emphasizing the importance of empowering SMEs and the broader agricultural sector.
