Green Synthesis of Ag2O/Ag NPs via Ginkgo Biloba and Their Anticancer Effects: Sintesis Hijau Ag2O/Ag NPs melalui Ginkgo Biloba dan Efek Antikankernya
No full textThis study focuses on establishing a green, inexpensive, non-toxic alternative for treating cancers. This aim explores the synthesis and use of silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag2O/Ag NPs) using a green synthesis technique. Considering that there is a high death rate in cancer, breast cancer in particular, which is highlighted by a breast cancer cell line MCF-7, we have decided to use nanotechnology as a therapeutic tool. Conventional ways of coping with cancer symptoms, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, even though they are the most effective, have the drawback of high costs and side effects. Instead of toxic chemicals, nanoparticles are gaining more interest due to their peculiarity of chemical and physical specifications, with Ag2O/Ag NPs pointing to a wide range of actions from anticancer effectiveness. Using the extract from the Ginkgo biloba plant, we achieved the green synthesis of Ag2O/AgNP via the new method widely adopted for environmental and health safety reasons. The nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized with SEM, HRTEM, EDX Spectroscopy, SEAD pattern, and DLS, and it was evident that the particles were spherical, homogeneously distributed in size, and compositively pure. Moreover, the Ag2O/Ag NPs were tested for their cytotoxic efficacy towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells, employing the MTT assay and the Hochst blue-fluorescent staining method, which demonstrated an effective dose-dependent toxicity that highlighted the possibility of such NPs as a candidate cancer therapeutic. Moreover, these nanoparticles were found to show antimicrobial activity, which helped to broaden their biomedical potential. The present research emphasizes the necessity of friendly-to-environment nanoparticle synthesis and provides an additional clue toward developing cancer treatments.
Highlights:
Develop green, cost-effective, non-toxic cancer treatment using Ag2O nanoparticles.
Synthesized Ag2O/AgNPs via Ginkgo biloba extract; tested anticancer efficacy.
Ag2O/AgNPs show dose-dependent cytotoxicity and antimicrobial potential.

Eco-Friendly Production of Iron Nanoparticles from Trigonella foenum-graecum Extract for Photo-Catalytic Methylene Blue Dye Degradation: Produksi Nanopartikel Besi Ramah Lingkungan dari Ekstrak Trigonella foenum-graecum untuk Degradasi Pewarna Metilen Biru secara Foto-Katalitik
No full textThe huge surface area, redox characteristics, and magnetic properties of iron nanoparticles make them special. Iron sulphate (FeSO4) was used as a precursor to create iron nanoparticles, while Trigonella foenum-graecum was used as a reducing agent. There are a few more plant substitutes. Trigonella foenum-graecum is preferred over other plants because it is non-toxic, possesses exceptional antioxidant qualities, and stays stable at 60 °C when disturbed. The UV-Vis spectra showed the surface plasmon band (SPB) for iron nanoparticle formation at 430 nm. Iron nanoparticles with sizes in the range ( 23–77) nm and 50 nm, respectively, were visible in the pictures from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Methylene blue, a model substance for contaminated water, was broken down by the produced iron nanoparticles at a wavelength of 663 nm. Additionally, its deterioration was investigated to gauge the photocatalytic performance of the samples. These results showed that iron nanoparticles had a significant level of photocatalytic activity, reaching up to 56% in a one hour.
Highlights:
Iron nanoparticles: large surface, redox, magnetic, photocatalytic properties.
Trigonella foenum-graecum: non-toxic, antioxidant, stable reducing agent.
Photocatalytic activity: 56% methylene blue degradation in 1 hour
Keywords: Degradation; Iron nanoparticle; Methylene blue dye; Water treatmen

Mathematical Analysis of the Impact of External Factors on the Operating Modes of Pump Installations in the Technological Process: Analisis Matematis Dampak Faktor Eksternal pada Mode Operasi Instalasi Pompa dalam Proses Teknologi
No full textThis study explores the mathematical analysis of external factors affecting the operating modes of pump installations in industrial processes. External influences, such as fluctuations in fluid properties, hydraulic resistance, cavitation risks, and environmental conditions, were systematically investigated using a combination of mathematical modeling and experimental validation. The developed model accurately predicts the impact of these factors on pump performance metrics, including flow rate, pressure head, power consumption, and efficiency. Results demonstrate that a 10°C increase in fluid temperature leads to a 4% efficiency reduction due to viscosity changes, while optimizing pipe diameter reduces hydraulic resistance by 15%. The study further highlights the critical role of maintaining adequate Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) to prevent cavitation, as efficiency drops by 12% when NPSHavailable is below NPSHrequired. The validated model provides actionable insights for optimizing pump operations, reducing energy consumption by up to 20%, and enhancing reliability in industrial settings. These findings contribute to the development of sustainable and energy-efficient pumping systems.

Financial Incentives as the Key Driver of Employee Productivity: Insentif Finansial sebagai Pendorong Utama Produktivitas Karyawan
No full textGeneral Background: Employee productivity is a crucial determinant of organizational success, with incentives serving as a key motivational tool in human resource management. Specific Background: While financial and non-financial incentives are widely recognized as productivity drivers, their effectiveness in small businesses, particularly in the Indonesian context, remains underexplored. Knowledge Gap: Prior research primarily focuses on large enterprises, neglecting how incentive structures function in small-scale industries. Aims: This study examines the impact of financial and non-financial incentives, along with job satisfaction, on employee productivity at UD. Budi Karya Jarorejo, Kerek, Tuban. Results: Multiple linear regression analysis indicates that financial incentives significantly influence productivity (β = 0.4736, p = 0.000), while non-financial incentives have a smaller yet significant effect. Job satisfaction, however, does not show a significant correlation. The model explains 94.7% of productivity variance (R² = 0.947). Novelty: Unlike previous studies, this research focuses on the unique dynamics of small enterprises, emphasizing the role of contextual and managerial factors in incentive effectiveness. Implications: Findings suggest that transparent, performance-based incentive policies can optimize workforce productivity in small businesses, providing insights for managerial decision-making in similar organizational settings.Highlights:
Financial incentives are the primary driver of employee productivity, showing a significant positive impact, while non-financial incentives have a smaller but still notable effect.
Job satisfaction alone does not significantly influence productivity, highlighting the need for well-structured incentive programs rather than relying solely on workplace satisfaction.
Transparent and performance-based incentive policies are crucial, especially in small businesses, to ensure fairness, motivation, and sustained productivity improvements.
Keywords: Financial Incentives, Non-Financial Incentives, Job Satisfaction, Employee Productivity, Multiple Linear Regression
