These subjects are critical for creating future thinkers. Additionally, it is important to note that there are a lot of job openings in the STEM fields, and this trend is expected to keep growing. However, students don’t seem to be as motivated to study in STEM fields or work in STEM fields. One teaching method that is becoming more popular is computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). This is because it can have a big effect on how people learn, especially in STEM subjects. It is very important to set up a CSCL learning environment for STEM schooling right away. However, that there isn’t a good framework and there aren’t many widely used design methods in this area. Without a question, there is a strong need to learn more about design methodologies in the areas of collaborative and technology-enhanced learning to come up with simple methods for CSCL. Because of this, the goal of this study is to investigate the conceptual parts of CSCL methods in STEM education. This will be used to make CSCL educational methods that are good especially for STEM education. STEM academics in Malaysia and Indonesia were surveyed using questionnaires to find the most important parts of CSCL strategies in STEM education, and the results were analysed using the Fuzzy Delphi Method. The results give us a list of CSCL settings used in schools, which can be used as a guide for creating and using CSCL strategies in STEM education.","PeriodicalId":506443,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141266086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The uniqueness of nano materials is that the smaller the size of the material, the greater the surface area and performance characteristics of the material in the asphalt mixture. This research develops nano technology in asphalt pavement construction by making nano material from palm shell ash waste. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of adding palm shell ash nano material as a substitute for asphalt in the AC-WC mixture. The research method was carried out by testing the morphological characterization of the palm shell ash nano material using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) testing and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) testing, then continuing with testing the characteristics of the mixture using the Marshall testing method. The nano material used is palm shell ash material obtained from palm shell burning waste originating from Riau which is then processed into Nano Palm Shell Ash (NPSA) material using a ball mill. The asphalt used is Pen 60/70 asphalt produced by Pertamina. The use of NPSA material in asphalt modification with NPSA variations of 1%, 2% and 3% can improve the performance of marshal characteristics compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. It can be seen that the stability, flow, VFA and MQ values increase with increasing NPSA percentage in asphalt. Meanwhile, the VIM and VMA values decreased along with the increase in the NPSA percentage in asphalt. In addition, increasing the percentage of NPSA in asphalt can reduce the use of optimum asphalt content compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. Utilizing palm shell ash waste is the best alternative for improving the performance of asphalt in mixtures and is environmentally friendly and economical.","PeriodicalId":506443,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology","volume":"4 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141266988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used pyrolysis of 985 g of 2-mm diameter LLDPE plastic ore at a temperature between 192-194°C for 135 min using a batch reactor (length x width x height = 35 cm x 24 cm x 44 cm) equipped with an outlet connected to two condensers (24°C). To ensure the chemical results, the reactor was connected in series to condensers 1 and 2. The results obtained in condenser 1 were 3 mL of 2-phase liquid with a strong odor. The upper fluid is yellow, and the lower fluid is brown. In condenser 2 (connected directly to condenser 1), 4 mL of yellow single-phase liquid was produced with a strong odor. The liquid obtained from the pyrolysis process was then analyzed by FTIR and GC-MS. FTIR results on both samples showed that the samples contained the functional groups O-H, CH₂, and C=O. The GC-MS results on condenser sample 2 showed that the pyrolysis product contained acetone compounds. This confirmed that pyrolysis caused chemical structural changes in LLDPE due to LLDPE chain bond-breaking reactions, producing many smaller chemical compounds. Additionally, some oxidation happens, which is due to the oxygen content in the reactor. This study provides new insights into the LLDPE pyrolysis mechanism and the physical and chemical properties of the liquid resulting from the pyrolysis process.","PeriodicalId":506443,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology","volume":"68 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be beneficial to humankind and also can be infectious to humans and animals. Direct microscopic is used by trained microscopist as one of the alternatives in identification process to any specimen that suspected of having fungal infection. Confirmation towards identification is often necessary as the structure of Aspergillus is complex and dissimilar in each cycle. In addition, the structure of some species of Aspergillus are the almost same, which can be incorrectly recognized. In prevention of misidentification, computer-based Aspergillus species identification is proposed. The detection process is the earliest and important process hence, this paper proposed an active region-based segmentation method in order to detect the presence of fungi. This method is literally not depending on the gradient or sharp edges of the object and implementing level set function for curve evolution which able to reduce the computational cost. Originally, this function was developed for tracking fluid interfaces but in this study, this function has been applied to fungi database. Two different methods were tested and compared to observe their ability to segment different 80 of Aspergillus images which included four species. Experiments conducted have been compared with the baseline technique and the proposed method is outperformed in terms of accuracy, specificity with average of 90% and PSNR value of greater than 40dB. Meanwhile the active contour (snake) was slightly underperformed but well performed particularly in terms of sensitivity with greater than 80% for all the species. Moreover, upon scrutinizing the dice coefficients provided in both tables, it becomes apparent that there is a lack of significant variance in the values, except in the instance of Aspergillus fumigatus (active region-based) that which produces a result below 36%.","PeriodicalId":506443,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology","volume":"1 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141266103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
