- PublicationLegalisation Process And Rights Of Persons Of Indonesian Descents (Pids) Residing In Mindanao, Philippines(2023-09)This research study focuses on the legalisation process and rights of persons of Indonesian descent (PIDs) residing in Mindanao, Philippines, using the concepts of legalisation and push and pull theory. The study explores the challenges faced by PIDs in obtaining legal recognition and protection of their rights, and investigates the factors that influence their decision to stay in Mindanao even after obtaining Indonesian nationality. The research methodology utilized for this study involved conducting interview sessions and administering mini-questionnaires to collect primary data from PIDs who have undergone the legalisation process and obtained the status of Registered Indonesian Nationals (RINs). The collected data were analyzed using qualitative methods to identify patterns and themes.The findings of the study reveal that the legalisation process for PIDs in Mindanao, Philippines is arduous, involving navigating through bureaucratic procedures, documentation requirements, and legal complexities. PIDs face challenges related to language barriers, lack of knowledge about legal processes, and limited access to legal assistance, which pose significant barriers to their legalisation process. Despite these challenges, a significant number of PIDs obtain Indonesian nationality and become RINs. However, the study finds that many of them choose to remain residing in Mindanao even after obtaining Indonesian nationality. This phenomenon can be attributed to various push and pull factors. The push factors influencing the decision of PIDs to stay in Mindanao include economic challenges, lack of job opportunities, poverty, and social discrimination in Indonesia, which may discourage them from returning to their home country
- PublicationMicrocontroller-based inverter with loading feedback(2010-04-01)The primary goal of this project is to implement and test a design of microcontroller-based single phase inverter with loading feedback. The type of switching technique used in this project is sinusoidal pulse-width modulation switching technique. The input voltage is 24 Vdc, and the output voltage is 240 Vrms without filtering circuit. The frequency of an output voltage is 50 Hz and output power around 100 W. The microcontroller, PIC16F877A is used to directly generate the sinusoidal pulse-width-modulated switching signals and to detect the loading feedback of an inverter. The complete design is simulated by using PESIM software and PIC Simulator IDE software. The schematic circuit is also draw using Eagle software. The simulation results are compared with the measurement obtained from the hardware testing. The output of this inverter is modified square-wave and contained harmonic. A second order LC filter is used in order to eliminate the unwanted harmonics that occur at the output of an inverter. The simulation result shown this design can produce the high efficiency. However, the practical implementation fails to yield a desired output.
- PublicationUjian model gegaran cerucuk - kesan parameter kedalaman penusukan cerucuk(2005-04-01)Tests on pile with various depths of penetration were conducted for this research. The 10 kg hammer was choosen to drive in 80 mm diameter piles. Ground vibrations were recorded while driving the piles and the level coressponding to each depth were recorded. It was difficult to simply relate depth to the level of vibration. The resulting ground vibration was found to vary based on the strength of soil being penetrated by the pile. For this particular test, the soft soil in the intermidiate depth has caused the low vibrations while the initial and the final part of piling had caused the higher vibrations.

- PublicationEvaluation of central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and axial length among juvenile open angle glaucoma patients(2022)INTRODUCTION Juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) is a subset of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), characterized by a pattern of autosomal dominant inheritance. Diagnosed at early age, patients with JOAG are expected to have longer life expectancy. They are usually associated with more severe and rapidly progressive disease. JOAG has insidious onset and is usually detected late stage of the disease with typically advance optic nerve damage and intraocular pressure of more than 40mmHg. Early detection particularly due to screening of family members with positive family history of JOAG. Literature on morphologic features of JOAG is limited. By studying those features will help clinician in determining which morphologic features associated with progression of the disease. While family members with positive morphologic features particularly will be screened more regularly, preventing late detection of the disease. OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate central cornea thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL), in JOAG patients, and its association with JOAG severity. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2020 until November 2021 involving 3 tertiary ophthalmology centres. The study involved 2 groups of patients which is JOAG groups and control group (age-sex matched). They were grouped into mild, moderate and severe group using modified AGIS scoring system with reliable and reproducible SITA standard 24-2 Humphrey visual field results. A-scan was performed in order to measure ACD, and AL. AS-OCT was performed to measure CCT. RESULTS A total of 120 patients were recruited in this study, whereby 60 patients were included in JOAG group and 60 patients without ocular comorbidities were included in control group. Slightly more male patients 53.3% (n = 32) in JOAG group, and 51.7% (n = 31) in control group. Mean age is 27.97±7.1 in both groups. From the JOAG group, at their first presentation, majority were from severe stage 68.3% (n = 41) followed by early stage 26.7% (n = 16), and moderate stage 5% (n = 3). While at recruitment, majority were from severe stage as well which increased to 70% (n = 42), followed by early stage 16.7% (n = 10), and moderate stage 13.3% (n = 8). We found that statistically significant changes of severity from first presentation and at recruitment (p=<0.001). There was significant difference in CCT (556.23±28.93mm, p=0.008) and AL (25.16±1.63mm, p= <0.001) between JOAG and control group. Multiple linear regression showed that presenting IOP, and AL were associated with severity of JOAG. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant mean difference in CCT and AL between JOAG and control groups. There was a significant positive linear relationship between CCT and AL with JOAG. We concluded that presenting IOP and AL were associated with severity of JOAG
