Development of Conceptual Framework of User Decision Making on Purchasing Running Shoes through Ergo-Aesthetic Value on Sight Behavioral Assessment
Get PDFA few scholars have highlighted the association between ergonomics and aesthetics with behavior. For this study, it should be noted that deviations in ergonomics and aesthetics are inevitable as human behavior and cultural experience change constantly. Nevertheless, applying ergonomics and aesthetics through behavior evaluation inside a design process can significantly improve the created item\u27s visual appearance and comfort level. Moreover, culture and behavior will affect the product\u27s visual assessment and the design\u27s final quality. Therefore, the user\u27s sight behavior is an important factor in judging the ergonomics and aesthetics of the running shoe selection. According to this paper, user decision-making will influence the purchase of suitable running shoes. Therefore, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers face difficulty purchasing suitable running shoes in stores, malls, or shoe outlets. This dilemma might influence a consumer to make their decision making to choose suitable running shoes in a very short time. The uncommon ground between ergonomics and aesthetics may become an unpleasant medium for designers to use in terms of ergonomic and aesthetic values in each design process. This dilemma may result in ineffective design process flow, increasing the cost of developing a certain product

Developing the Fragility Curves of Confined Masonry Structure in Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia
Get PDFThe earthquake in Bener Meriah Regency on July 2, 2013 with 6.1 Mw tectonic caused physical damage and construction losses to 1,778 typical confined masonry residential buildings. One of the assessments of damage caused by the earthquake was the development of a fragility curve that can be formed by empirical methods based on the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) procedure with log it, pro bit and complementary log-log link functions. This study used data from 9 sub-regencies to identify light, medium and heavy damage levels. Data processing uses ArcGIS and MATLAB software based on data obtained from secondary data survey results and USGS Earthquakes. One of the resulting seismic fragility curves, the pro bit link model, gives a high probability at low and medium PGA intensities for light, medium and heavy damage. The logit link model provides a high probability of high PGA intensities for light, medium, and heavy damage. On the basis of the goodness of fit measurement results, the link pro bit model has the smallest standardized residual error value, which shows the best model of the method because probit has values of 20.16%, 21.12%, and 21.83% in DS1, DS2, and DS3 compared to the link logit and complementary clog-log models
Optimization of the Energy Monitoring System for Continuous-Process Industrial Enterprises
Get PDFIn the context of growing demand for efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in industrial energy usage, optimizing monitoring systems has become a critical priority. This paper develops and tests a data-driven approach to enhance energy monitoring in continuous-process industries, with a case study of a large-scale water supply enterprise in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan. The proposed methodology integrates statistical distribution analysis, correlation mapping, and logical process modeling to capture both quantitative relationships and the physical dynamics of operations. Unlike traditional systems that rely on isolated parameters or manual interpretation, the new model embeds process logic into digital platforms, thereby reducing human dependency, minimizing error, and improving response time. The results demonstrate that the modular framework enables more accurate identification of key parameter interdependencies, supports predictive forecasting of energy consumption, and allows for real-time adjustment through ensemble machine learning submodules. In the water supply case, the system successfully differentiated between operational and idle energy usage, optimized pump loads, and provided early detection of anomalies. These improvements translate into enhanced energy efficiency, reduced operational costs, and greater reliability of supply. The study concludes that integrating physical process logic with statistical modeling not only improves monitoring accuracy but also supports the deployment of digital twins and adaptive control systems aligned with Industry 4.0. Policy implications highlight the potential for broader adoption of such models across industrial sectors, particularly in contexts where energy sustainability and infrastructure resilience are national priorities. This approach offers a scalable pathway toward smarter, more sustainable industrial energy management
Effects of Particle Sizes on Total Catching Content and Antioxidant Activity of Musa Paradisiacal Inflorescence using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SFE-CO2) Extraction
Get PDFThe inflorescence of Musa paradisiacal or Banana Nipah primarily serves as a staple food crop in Malaysia. It contains various polyphenols, including catching, renowned for its excellent ant oxidative properties. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2) is a green technology that preserves bioactive components while facilitating extraction. This study employed SFE-CO2 to investigate the catching extraction from different size ranges of M. paradisiacal inflorescences at different extraction parameters. The plant matrices (450 - 600 µm, 600 - 850 µm, and 850 µm - 1600μm) were extracted under different temperatures (40°C and 60°C) and pressures (25MPa and 45MPa), with a constant supercritical CO2 fluid and 50% (v/v) ethanol co-solvent flowed at 4 mL/min. Data were analyzed using ANOVA in Minitab Software. The results indicated that the smallest particles (450 - 600 µm) exhibited the highest total oil extraction yield (29.40 ± 7.95%) at 60°C; 45 M Pa, while 850 µm - 1600μm particles had the least (9.54 ± 1.60%) at 40°C; 45MPa. Extraction efficacy of SFE-CO2 at 45MPa; 60°C demonstrated a comparable effect (p > 0.05) to the 10-hour Sox let extraction. Smaller plant matrices exhibited higher catching content at 40°C and 45 M Pa, particularly 81.51 ± 1.11 mg (450 - 600 µm). Increased total catching content correlated with higher DPPH radical scavenging activity. Kinetic modeling revealed that 93% to 95% of the catching extraction from the plant matrix followed a first-order kinetic model. In conclusion, the smallest plant matrix (450 - 600 µm) exhibited the highest catching yield and ant oxidative activity when extracted at 45MPa and 40°C
