Mycelium-based composites result from the growth of filamentous fungi on organic materials such as agricultural waste streams, like sugarcane bagasse, sawdust, coffee husks, coconut mesocarp and cotton. The morphology, density, tensile, flexural and compression strength of mycocomposites change according to the type of substrate, fungal species and processing technique. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behaviour in compression of different mycelium-based materials changing the fungal species. Substrates were formulated with wood sawdust and coconut endocarp, coffee grounds and wheat bran and incubated with isolates of the fungi Pycnoporus sanguineus, Ganoderma applanattum and Hexagonia hydnoides. Pre-myceliated sterile substrates were placed in cylindrical molds and incubated at 25°C for 7 days. After this period, the composites obtained were subjected to a temperature of 80 °C for 12 hours to stop fungi further development. Mechanical tests showed the relationship between the fungi and the compressive resistance (10% strain) of resulting composites, according to ASTM D1621. The analyzes indicated that the use of Pycnoporus sanguineus fungusprovides a composite with greater resistance to compression, which suggests the application of this mycocomposite in packaging, since the primary requirement of such use is to protect the content against damage.

AbstractThis article is the result of the library research on the divining manual book, usually known as Kitab Primbon Atassadhur Adammakna written by Pangeran Tjakraningrat. Kitab Primbon commonly consists of mystical lessons, magical practices, and oracles or fortune-telling. However, Kitab Primbon Atassadhur Adammakna precisely explains the Javanese philosophy which adopts the Islamic lessons, especially tasawuf. The lessons of God, human, and universe are appropriately described with the Javanese tradition and culture. Keeping the harmony of the relationship between human and universe is an obligation, since it also means keeping the harmony with the God, as the Creator of the universe. Keywords : God, Human, Universe, and Kitab PrimbonAbstrakTulisan ini merupakan hasil kajian pustaka (library research) terhadap Kitab Primbon Atassadhur Adammakna karya Pangeran Tjakraningrat. Kitab primbon pada umumnya mengandung ajaran mistik, klenik, dan ramalan atau nujum. Namun kitab Primbon Atassadhur Adammakna ini justru menguraikan ajaran filsafat Jawa yang mengadopsi ajaran Islam, khususnya tasawuf. Konsep manusia, Tuhan, dan alam Ajaran tentang Tuhan, manusia, dan alam dijabarkan sesuai dengan adat dan budaya Jawa. Menjaga keselarasan hubungan antara manusia dengan alam adalah kewajiban, karena sama artinya menjaga keharmonisan dengan Tuhan, sebagai Sang Pencipta Semesta.Kata kunci: Tuhan, Manusia, Alam, Kitab Primbon

ABSTRACT The relationship between isostatic anomalies and average annual earthquake energy released was investigated. Data were used for the United States, West Indies, East Indies, Japan, Africa, and India. The above areas were subdivided into smaller areas, 5° on the side, and the data for the smaller areas were used to determine a relationship between the variables. Because the data were considerably scattered, an averaging method was used for smoothing. Results of the research indicate that (1) a relationship exists between the average annual earthquake energy released from regions and the isostatic relief (or gradient) of the regions, and (2) the isostatic relief can be used as an index of the strain level of the crust and upper mantle.

The need for employment among the milenial generation is increasing, along with the age of milenials who are in the productive age stage. Not only that changes in the characteristics of the milenial generation are faster to enjoy and love coffee. Not only the needs of the milenial generation, but the principle of sustainable development is a consideration. The project aims as a means to open up business opportunities and foster intimacy especially for coffee lovers and nature lovers who are united through the movement "Forests That Indonesia" (HII). Where the businesses formed make waste coffee waste (basic material), a form of sustainable development effort. The method used is descriptive, direct observation in the field and analysis of data - data to determine the space requirements to obtain the relationship of space and circulation in the site. The concept used is Contrast - Harmonious, the union between office typology (the depiction of innovative coffee grounds waste) and the gym (extreme depiction of the gym). The form that is displayed through a combination of massing (rigid) with curves (dynamic). Artificial application can feel the nature in an indirect manner, being in a coffee plantation is artificial through its aroma (sense of smell) visually with greening (sense of sight). AbstrakKebutuhan akan lapangan kerja dikalangan generasi milenial kian meningkat, seiring dengan usia generasi millenial yang berada pada tahap usia produktif. Tak hanya itu perubahan karakteristik generasi millenial yang lebih cepat untuk menikmati dan mencintai kopi. Tak hanya kebutuhan generasi milenial, melainkan prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan menjadi pertimbangan. Proyek ini bertujuan sebagai sarana untuk membuka lapangan usaha dan membina keakraban khususnya bagi pecinta kopi dan pecinta alam yang dipersatukan melalui gerakan “Hutan Itu Indonesia” (HII). Dimana usaha yang terbentuk memperdayakan limbah ampas kopi (bahan dasar) menjadi wujud usaha pembangunan berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan adalah deksriptif, dilakukan pengamatan langsung di lapangan dan analisis data – data untuk menentukan kebutuhan ruang hingga didapatkan hubungan ruang serta sirkulasi di dalam tapak. Konsep yang digunakan adalah Kontras - Harmonis, penyatuan antara tipologi kantor (pengambaran inovasi limbah ampas kopi) dan gym (pengambaran ekstrim gym). Wujud yang tampilkan melalui perpaduan massing kotak (kaku) dengan lengkung (dinamis). Penerapan secara artifisial dapat merasakan alam secara tidak langsung, berada di kebun kopi diartifisialkan melalui aromanya (indera penciuman) secara penglihatan dengan penghijauan (indera penglihatan).

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.
