Abstract:
Abstract:- Wood dust contained endotoxin LPS can cause respiratory tract inflammation, decreased lung
function and pneumonitis. This study aims to analyze the effect of endotoxin levels to elevated levels of serum
C-RP and a decrease in pulmonary function sawmill workers. Analytic observational research methodology to
design a prospective longitudinal study.The study sample as many as 12 workers in the factory Sawmill
MojoagungJombang.Data collection techniques with interviews, personal dust measurements, personal
endotoxin measurements, blood sampling, and spirometry. C-RP serum and lung function were measured before
and after work. The dependent variable in this study is the serum levels of C-RP blood and pulmonary function.
While the independent variable is the level of personal endotoxin. Age, years of service, and the habit of
smoking is a confounding variable. Result: The average age of 40 years, 21-year working period, 75% light
smokers. After 8 hours the average levels of personal wood dust was 0.53 mg / m 3 and personal endotoxin
levels by an average of 55.50 EU / m 3. Workers who have increased C-RP as much (41.67%), with an average
of 0.1192 mg / L. Workers who experience a decrease in FVC as much (58.33%) and FEV 1 decline as much
(75%). Test results using Multiple Regression, there is no influence of the personal endotoxin levels with
elevated levels of serum C-RP and decreased lung function (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Endotoxin LPS in a sawmill

Abstract:
This study includes observations on the waste management system in the real estate area of southern
Gresik, then sampling to test the water quality standards in laboratory waste Environmental Health Technique
Bureau Surabaya, both questionnaires and interviews with the developers to conduct Focus Group Discussion
with government, real estate developers and residents. Domestic sewage in the housing / real estate is mostly
done using the direct method of wastewater discharged directly into the river or temporarily housed in local
temporary disposal site. The results of laboratory tests on domestic wastewater generated housing average
domestic wastewater is around the threshold set by Ministerial Decree Environment No. 112 of 2003 but
exceeded the detection limit pollution. So it is still a potential source of contamination that could exceed the
upper threshold value corresponding MOE decree. This could happen due to the potential for the development
of housing for more habitable. The majority of the developers are not aware of the Environment Decree no. 112
of 2003. So that the disposal and management of industrial waste water is not in accordance with the prescribed
rules.

Abstract:
In attempts to re-enable the river transport that is considered less desirable by users, a typical
approach/an approach related to the types of river transport that people expect. In this research, four types of
river transport are offered to the community which is expected to physically meet the criteria of the (Indonesian)
National Transportation System. Analysis of the selected priority level using an approach of the AHP method to
relative and absolute measurement was carried out. The results of the analysis find that people generally tend to
expect the typical river transport with the following criteria: catamaran type, the entry/exit can be from the front
and the rear, the sides of the ship are flexible and can be open or closed, passengers can stand up inside the
vehicle, the ship can load bikes, and the lower position of the passengers is above the surface of the water. In
terms of the fulfillment of the (Indonesian) National Transportation System criteria, safety is the most dominant
criterion to be considered (18.87%), followed by the criterion of security (16.45%), the utilization criterion
(12.49%), and the comfort criterion (11.53%). While the criteria for a low level of pollution and capacities are
the lowest criteria that influence the selected choice.

ESCI-MML: 183X-0308-0144
Abstract:
The development of urban areas cause a variety of problems and challenges as a direct impact of the
development conditions of the region, including in terms of planning adequate transportation system, which is
able to meet the needs of urban population movements, not only in terms of the amount of means of transport,
but also should pay attention to and improve performance of public transport services, strategies to improve the
performance of public transport in satisfaction of public transport users, requires an understanding of the
attitudes of public transport users, knowledge of user behavior will provide optimal results to improve the
performance of public transport according to expectations and interests of public transport users.
This study aims to investigate the performance of public transport services, knowing the satisfaction of
public transport users in terms of aspects of interest or societal expectations, determine the effect of the level of
satisfaction of public transport services on the performance of public transport. This research method is a
method of qualitative research, data analysis is used to determine the performance of public transport use
Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) and know the satisfaction of users of public transport using the
Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), to examine the effect of satisfaction on the performance of public transport
using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
The results showed that the performance of public transport remains low in providing services to the
users of public transport. The main priority of the expectations or interests of public transport users to get
treatment or improvement of public transport services is an indicator of accessibility, integration, capacity,
smooth and fast, convenient, safety, easy, timely, orderly, efficient. Based on the calculation, the CSI value of
48.19% or 0.48 based on criteria CSI values were in the range from 0.35 to 0.50 (less satisfied) this means that
the public transport user satisfaction index of the performance of public transport are less satisfied with the
service transport general. Based on the results of SEM analysis of the influence of public transport user
satisfaction (Y) on the performance of public transport (X) derived a mathematical equation Y = 0,873X + 0.022
indicates that the public transport user satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on the performance of
public transport, any increase in public transport performance indicators it will also influence the increase in
satisfaction of users of public transport.

Abstract:
The Job Shop scheduling problem is one of the hardest combinatorial optimisation problems in
various industrial environments. It consists of several jobs each with one or more operations, to be allocated to a
set of machines with a view to minimise the makespan. In this paper, we begin by describing the Job Shop
scheduling problem and the evolutionary algorithm used to solve the machine allocation problem. We then,
propose additional genetic operators (random selection of chromosomes to initialise the population, measuring
the initial population fitness to identify good chromosomes, cloning to improve survival probability) to enhance
the existing genetic algorithm in terms of getting a shorter makespan in less computational time. Finally, we
investigate the effect of population size, crossover rate and mutation rate on the makespan for both the existing
genetic algorithm and the enhanced genetic algorithm. Our result shows that the enhanced genetic algorithm
produce the optimal makespan in a shorter genetic evolution than existing genetic algorithm.

Abstract:
Corrosion inhibitors are chemicals substances that, when added in small concentration to an
environment prevent or impede the development of corrosion reactions. They are used in various segments of
the oil industry, showing great efficiency in internal protection against the corrosion of pipelines, gas pipelines
and boilers, in the area of refining, production of petroleum, water injection, in acidification, secondary recovery
and drilling fluids. To evaluate the performance of substances with the potential to inhibit the process of
corrosion in acidic solutions, and to measure the loss of mass, carbon steel coupons were manufactured and
immersed in hydrochloric acid solutions 10 and 15 % (by mass), in the range of 40 to 60 °C and using nbutylamine
solutions as corrosion inhibitors. Gravimetric laboratory tests show efficiencies
of the addition of n-butylamine (1.5 g/L) in anti-corrosion protection for carbon steel coupons immersed in
hydrochloric acid solution (10 and 15 %) were of the order of 50%.
