    Abstract

    This study analyzed the effectiveness of brake pads made from biomass materials, from building construction waste, which was done to find alternative brake pads that are environmentally friendly. This article also examineds the development of entrepreneurship to support sustainable development goals (SDGs). The methods included experiments, verification, and descriptive analysis. We utilized Borneo sawdust, mahogany, and bamboo as biomass materials for making brake pads. The results indicated the prospective construction waste materials as raw materials for brake pad production, assisting the SDGs by providing ecologically friendly solutions and lowering the amount of trash generated during construction. Mahogany wood dust biomass with sizes of 4 µm was the most effective material composition to be used as an environmentally friendly brake pad, compared to Borneo wood dust and bamboo. Mahogany had greater durability and friction qualities. The results also showed the importance of this study for government, business, and academic institutions to work together to foster student entrepreneurship and the growth of sustainable innovation, helping achieve the SDGs. © 2025, Philippine-American Academy of Science and Engineering.

  • Predictors of Life Aspirations’ Fulfillment as an effort of Social Workers to Improve the Living Standards of Rural Community

    Authors: Dewi Kurniasih ; Yudi Rusfiana

    DOI: –

    Abstract

    With prevalent poverty, poor health conditions, limited economic possibilities, and limited access to education, rural people are deprived of most of life’s fundamental essentials. Several social organizations have recognized these potential problems and are attempting to improve rural communities. Considering the importance of social organizations in enhancing the living standards of rural communities, the current study investigates the role of social workers, i.e., rural familiarity and interest, social connections, and place integration, in enhancing community participation and satisfaction, thereby enabling individuals to realize their life goals. A quantitative research approach was utilized to collect data from 480 socially low-income families in rural communities in the Indonesian provinces of South Kalimantan and Banjarmasin. By statistically evaluating the obtained data, it was shown that social workers’ traits were vital in providing rural communities with employment prospects by beginning various programs to encourage their involvement and contentment with such projects and activities. Their higher degree of happiness and participation led to realizing their life goals. This study contributes to the existing sociology literature by giving empirical evidence about the role of social workers in enhancing the fulfillment of life aspirations in rural communities, resulting in higher living standards. © 2022, Oxbridge Publishing House.

    Authors:  Yulia Hendria Yeni ;  Lasti Yossib Hastini ; Novrini Hasti

    DOI: 10.1166/asl.2017.7282

    Abstract

    This study examines the effect of Market Orientation and Learning Orientation on Performance of Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) involved in embroidery in West Sumatera. The positive effect of Market Orientation on Organizational Performance has showed by an impressive number of previous study. However, there is still lack of research involve Learning Orientation as a mediator on the relationship between Market Orientation and Performance of MSMEs. This study employed a data set drawn from a sample of 144 owners of embroidery firms. Smart PLS result indicates that Market Orientation and Learning Orientation have positive effect on Organizational Performance. In addition the higher level of Market Orientation leads the greater level of Learning Orientation. This study also finds valuable information that the effect of Marketing Orientation on Organizational Performance mediated by Learning Orientation. Therefore, four hypotheses proposed are supported. © 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.

  • An Autonomous Parking System using the Hybridization of the Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees Star and Ant Colony System

    An Autonomous Parking System using the Hybridization of the Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees Star and Ant Colony System

    Authors: Muhammad Aria ; Jana Utama

    DOI: https://doi.org/10.37934/araset.31.1.291297

    Abstract

    One key autonomous driving car application that can be utilized to address the problem of parking spaces is autonomous parking. The goal of this study is to develop a path planning algorithm that can swiftly create a path for autonomous parking in a variety of car parking settings. The method employed is a mix of Rapidly Exploring Random Tree Star and Ant Colony Systems (RRT-ACS). The RRT-ACS method can quickly provide an ideal path. The reed sheep planner technique is also used to provide a smooth curving path that non-holonomic vehicles can follow. The performance of the RRT-ACS algorithm-based autonomous parking system is compared to that of the RRT*-connect and informed RRT*-connect algorithms. The simulation tests were performed in common parking settings such as parallel parking and vertical parking. The test results reveal that the suggested autonomous parking system outperforms other comparative algorithms. It is possible to infer that a route planning algorithm capable of rapidly designing a path for automatic parking in a variety of car parking circumstances has been successfully built. These findings may have ramifications for self-driving cars equipped with advanced driver support systems.

    Authors: Yogi Suprayogi, Senny Luckyardi, Dede Kurnia, Mirza Abdi Khairusy

    DOI: 10.26858/ijole.v8i2.64117

    Abstract

    The increase in borderless digital-based business competition shows how language education is impacted by neoliberalism in this global era. We explore how linguistic technopreneurship (LT) roles is increasingly constructed as a form of linguistic entrepreneurship to exploit language-related resources to enhance one’s socioeconomic value strategically. This research aims to critically examine the influence of LT toward business success digitalization for Small Medium Enterprises in West Java and it’s implication for Language Education. The research also focusing on the creation of novelty, namely linguistic technopreneurship (LT), which is a refinement of entrepreneurial linguistics (EL). LT is expected to be able to explain how linguistic entrepreneurship can be indexed from two different aspects, namely how to package language education and digital business success. We then discuss under what conditions the notion of linguistic technopreneurship can be applied to digital platform-based business settings and what kind of contradictions this gives rise to. The method used is quantitative, and it involves carrying out SEM analysis. A non-probability sampling technique was used to obtain a minimum of 250 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Industry owners who run their businesses through digital platforms in West Java province, which is the province with the most significant number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Industries in Indonesia. The research results show that LT significantly influences the success of business success and impact the language education practice. It can be concluded that language education is an added value for a person and influences socioeconomic success. © 2024, Universitas Negeri Makassar- Faculty of Languages and Literature.
