Community service activities in the form of counseling aim to provide additional knowledge and skills in doing good business and raising goats. The target audience in this PKM activity is farmers and farm laborers. This activity aims to provide knowledge and skills in order to prepare the people affected by the project development to have a business for their livelihood as a substitute for lost farming activities because the land is used for the construction of the Sumur Adem II steam power plant. The expected benefits of community service activities are as a forum for exchanging ideas between citizens and universities and providing knowledge and skills to residents in raising good goats and sheep

The electrical energy is an energy that is needed by the people. Theelectrical energy, to date, came from several power plants, such aselectric steam power plants and diesel power plants. The communitymust pay the service provider, such as the State ElectricityCompany (PLN) with a rising cost, to obtain electrical energy.However, there were other alternative energies, for example, solarpower plants and windmill power plants. The hybrid system is acombination of two or more different energy sources to meet thedemand. The hybrid system was also expected to solve the problemthat might arise in utilizing other energies, the site condition, andthe unpredicted situation on the power plant. The solution to theseproblems was a hybrid using a monitoring device with ACS 712sensor current parameter, ZMPT101B voltage sensor, LDR solarsensor, hybrid electrical energy power, controller for four electricalsource inputs and three electrical sources for the output load. Thedevice used Arduino Mega 2560 for data processing, ESP 8266 asthe module to connect the device to the internet network and relayas the control actuator. Monitoring and controlling the device usedthe internet network and the implementation of the Internet ofThings (IoT) on the hybrid system plants (PLN, generator, solarpower plant, windmill power plant) that was integrated into thewebsite. The overall test resulted in the comparison average errorvalue between the device and the measuring instrument of thecurrent, voltage, and power. The test also resulted in the averageerror value of the response time for the four input contacts and threeoutput contacts. The average error value of the current was 2.13%,the average error value of the voltage was 0.7%, and the averageerror value from the power parameter was 0%. Meanwhile, theaverage error value of response time was 0.23 seconds. Based onthe above results, it can be concluded that the monitoring andcontrolling system from the website with the implementation of theIoT in the hybrid power system was worked following the design.

Abstract Cultural exchange between Pakistani and Chinese citizens increased after the launch of CPEC. Cooperation and understanding between the governments extended to collaboration and acceptance among the people. And people-to-people relations between the two sides strengthened. Students, artists, sportspersons, businesspeople, professionals, and workers travelled and developed a rapport with locals. A detailed study of the Sahiwal coal power plant and nearby villages, comprising data collection through fieldwork, shows that despite cultural diversity, managers and workers from both sides accepted the cultural diversity and worked for mutual benefit. People working at the power plant exchanged material and non-material cultures with each other that helped them manage cultural diversity. And they strengthened cross-cultural relations, for their exchanges were rewarding and mutually beneficial.

For existing United States nuclear power plant fleet to remain economically viable, the nuclear industry needs to fundamentally change the way in which these plants are operated, maintained, and supported. A digital transformation is a key strategy to address this challenge. Though, guidance in this area is a continued effort. One framework to support innovation in the nuclear industry has taken a broader perspective by focusing on how technology can be used to meet specific business needs and work for the people and processes at hand. This work discusses the role and value of human factors engineering within this nuclear innovation framework. Human factors methods are presented here regarding how they address the phases of nuclear innovation. This work seeks to describe how human factors can be applied in nuclear innovation by strengthening the alignment of technology, people, processes, and regulations such that the needs of the business is addressed.

This article intends to reflect on the construction of a Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) on Mount Slamet. The construction of the PLTP has been rejected by the Banyumas community, especially the slope communities there. During the exploration process for the power plant, the people on the slopes of Mount Slamet experienced various impacts. Starting from the murky water, forest animals entering the villages, so that material losses cannot do business. This article reviews the phenomenology of how important the development of PLTP is in the midst of a surplus of electricity in Java Island. The findings in this article identify flaws in procedures from planning to implementation. The plan is to do legal acrobatics so that it is easy to get project permits. When doing exploration, it has a significant impact on the community on the slopes of Mount Slamet. Therefore the article tries to provide suggestions or input to local and central governments for; make an objective Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL), involve professional parties to conduct academic studies, involve the community or NGOs when determining the PLTP project, conduct intensive and periodic outreach to the community, and provide compensation to the affected communities.

The purposes of the study were: 1) to study situation of conflict between the state and the people on the power plant project; 2) to seek causes of conflict between the state and the people; and 3) to offer guidelines to conflict management between the state and the people. A qualitative methodology was used in this study. Key informants were residents living around the project, and a semi-structured interview instrument was used to conduct in-depth interviews with 12 key informants. Results of the study revealed that the current conflicts resulted from the irrationality of the benefits that people obtained from the project, and the environmental, societal and cultural issues. Besides, the conflict in the community is caused by interference of third parties/actors. The causes of the conflict are rooted in three aspects: firstly, the structural bureaucracy; secondly, the attitude and performance of government officials; and finally, the lack of participation of the people. The guidelines to conflict management are divided into two groups: the first group is guideline for the management of within the bureaucracy; the second group is guidelines for the management of relationships between the state and the people in the area.Int.

Produced in the immediate aftermath of the tsunami and earthquake that hit Japan on the 11th of March 2011, Toshi Fujiwara’s film No Man’s Zone(Mujin Chitai, 2012) is a portrait of a country coming to terms with the nuclear fallout in Fukushima. Interviews are interlaced with long takes of the post-apocalyptic landscape and subtle observations that point to the suffering and trauma by the people living in, or uprooted from, the area near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The film also questions the role of images of the disaster and indeed the role of the filmmaker creating these very images. Marco Bohr highlights how the philosophical debate about the role of images produced in a disaster zone is primarily facilitated through the aesthetic, formal and structural device of the essay film.Its self-reflexivity is deployed here as a strategy to provoke the viewer in seeing representations of the disaster in a new light.
