POTENTIALS OF BENGKULU’S LOCAL BIOMASS FOR BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
The development of bioethanol based on local biomass is an important strategy to support national energy diversification. Still, the potential of Bengkulu biomass and its technical feasibility have not been systematically studied. This study aims to analyze the potential of cassava waste, coconut coir, oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), and water hyacinth as raw materials for second-generation bioethanol production, and to identify the multidimensional challenges associated with their conversion processes. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a qualitative thematic synthesis, based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The search was conducted across five major databases (Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, IEEE Xplore, and ScienceDirect) with a publication range of 2018-2025, resulting in 414 articles. Twelve articles met the criteria after a quality assessment using MMAT. The results indicate that the utilization of local biomass in Bengkulu remains fragmented. However, there is significant technical potential, including an ethanol yield of 75-180 L/ton of cassava waste, coconut coir through pretreatment with DES/NADES, OPEFB ±10% (v/v) with adaptive yeast, and water hyacinth at 7-8 g/L through SSF. The study offers a multi-feedstock conceptual framework and recommends pilot plants, LCA analyses, and economic studies to support sustainable regional implementation.

NEUTRON DOSE CALCULATION FOR RADIATION WORKER AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN COMPACT PROTON THERAPY CENTERS (CPTC) USING MCNP6.2 MONTE CARLO CODE
This study aims to analyze the ambient equivalent dose H*(10) of neutrons and evaluate the effectiveness of radiation shielding at the Monte Carlo-based Compact Proton Therapy Center (CPTC) facility using Monte Carlo N -Particle (MCNP6.2) software with four variations in the direction of the proton beam (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°). The simulation was conducted to determine the effect of beam orientation on neutron radiation distribution in the area around the bunker, particularly in the Treatment Control Room (TCR) and door area. The simulation results showed that the dose distribution was highly dependent on the beam direction and the geometric configuration of the CPTC facility. The highest dose value was obtained from the 270° direction, which was 733 µSv/year. However, the dose is still below the dose limit set by the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN), which is 1 mSv/year for the public, so the CPTC facility design is considered safe against secondary neutron exposure. This research contributes to the development of physics, particularly in the application of the Monte Carlo method for radiation protection analysis, and is expected to be a development asset for proton therapy in Indonesia.

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA FROM MANDAI (FERMENTED CEMPEDAK PEEL) IN EAST KALIMANTAN
Mandai is a traditional fermented food from East Kalimantan made from the peel of cempedak (Artocarpus champeden). To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report the isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from mandai. The fermentation process was carried out for 14 days using MRS Agar medium, resulting in 17 bacterial isolates, consisting of nine Gram-negative and eight Gram-positive isolates. Among them, eight Gram-positive isolates were dominant and exhibited typical LAB characteristics, including acid and gas production from glucose, negative catalase activity, non-motility, growth at 48°C but not at 16°C, and the ability to hydrolyze starch, fat, and casein. During fermentation, the pH decreased from 6.8 to 3.8, confirming active lactic acid production. These findings demonstrate that LAB play a crucial role in generating the characteristic sour taste and improving the quality of mandai. Importantly, the identified LAB isolates have potential as starter cultures to enhance the safety, consistency, and nutritional value of this traditional food.

RANCANG BANGUN SISTEM MONITORING DAN KONTROL PENGGUNAAN AIR PDAM BERBASIS INTERNET OF THINGS
Sistem pencatatan penggunaan air pada pelanggan PDAM masih menggunakan sistem pengambilan data manual oleh petugas. Permasalahan yang terjadi petugas tidak melakukan pencatatan rutin melainkan hanya memperkirakan penggunaan air berdasarkan pemakaian bulan sebelumnya. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan terjadi pembengkakan ketika dilakukan pencatatn setelah beberapa bulan pemakaian. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk 1) merancang alat sistem monitoring dan kontrol penggunaan air PDAM berbasis IOT dan 2) menganalisis kinerja alat monitoring dan control penggunaan air PDAM. Alat monitoring dan control penggunaan air PDAM berbasis IOT yang dilengkapi dengan sensor water flow YF-S201 untuk membaca berapa banyak air yang mengalir. Alat ini juga dilengkapi dengan selenoid valve yang berfungsi sebagai keran untuk menghidupkan dan mematikan air dan NTP (network time protokol) yang digunakan sebagai pewaktu. Pengujian di lakukan untuk mengetahui kinarja keseluruhan dari alat seperti kinerja sensor waterflow, kinerja aplikasi web dan komunikasi antara kontroler dengan aplikasi web. Hasil pengujian sensor water flow YF-S201 dapat membaca aliran air dengan rata-rata error sebesar 0,78%. Sensor ini dapat bekerja baik pada pembacaan aliran air dikarnakan semakin besar aliran air yang melewatinya maka nilai error akan semakin kecil. Selenoid valve juga dapat berjalan dengan lancar pada saat website memberikan perintah untuk menghidupkan atau mematikan valve. Website dapat menampilkan nilai yang dihasilkan oleh sensor water flow dengan tepat dan akurat.
