PK4L UGM conducted an integrated firefighting training at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Faculty of Engineering UGM on Thursday (16/6). The training covers Safe and Healthy Environment theory, procedures on using the fire extinguisher and hydrant hose, firefighting with traditional tools, and manual firefighting for wildfire caused by leaked gas from a 3-kilogram LPG tank. The training that lasted for at least 2 hours and guided directly by the Commander of PK4L UGM mainly focused on procedures and activities related to firefighting inside the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering building.

Due to the limited number of fire engines in a regent or a city, in certain cases, assistance from the nearest fire department is particularly needed so that the fire extinguishing process could be done thoroughly. This joint training was conducted in order to anticipate the occurrence of wildfire in an area and to learn the coordination pattern that would later be applicable in firefighting situations around the area of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

Bertha Maya Sopha, Ph.D., Hilya Mudrika Arini, Ph.D., and Sekar Sakti, M.Sc., research team from UGM in partnership with Lancaster University, are conducting research project of The RESilient Emergency Preparedness for Natural Disaster Response through Operational Research (RESPOND-OR). This research project led by the Centre for Transport and Logistics (CENTRAL) at Lancaster University, aims to tackle problems and improve natural disaster emergency preparedness and response. The research team is working closely with key stakeholders representing disaster management organisations in both Indonesia and Sudan. The key stakeholders in Indonesia are Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB), Disaster Management Agency of the Yogyakarta Special Region (BPBD DIY), and Humanitarian Forum Indonesia (HFI).

The UGM team developed the simulation model for Jakarta flood evacuation to evaluate the effectiveness of the contingency plan with respect to the evacuation time and total number of successful evacuees. The model is developed based on Flood Management Contingency Plan in 2017. The empirical data was collected, and the conceptual model was designed in October 2020 – March 2021. In April 2021, the first version of simulation combines agent-based modelling and discrete-event simulation. The initial simulation model has been presented to BPNB and NGOs in a verification workshop in June 2021. It models the evacuation decision-making of the residents and the evacuation process requiring resources (such as trucks and boats) and evacuation process of people in some neighbourhoods.

The evacuation decision-making was developed based on the empirical studies, whereas the location of shelters and allocation resources was based on the existing contingency plan. Evacuation process is conducted using truck and rubber boat. Trucks are used to evacuate people from the assembly point to the shelter, whilst rubber boats are used to evacuate people who are trapped by flooding in their home (assisted evacuation). The simulation model embeds GIS to represent the actual geographical location of the residents, the assembly points and the shelters. The simulation model dynamically shows the number of arrived residents at each shelters over time (evacuation pattern), the animation of the evacuation, and the used resources over time. The manual for building multi-method simulation for Jakarta flood evacuation can be accessed  here.

During the Covid-19 pandemic era, a massive flow of information related to the disease has been consistently coming up and getting spread out amongst the public. Unfortunately, some of the information received by the public is inaccurate, unreliable, and can even be identified as “fake news”. Therefore, a method to identify the fake news related to Covid-19 is urgently needed, especially for identifying multilingual news. Sadly, the existing method to identify the fake news is still too general to identify the Covid-19-related fake news in multilingual news. The failure in identifying and intervening the spreading of the multilingual Covid-19-related fake news could easily cause public’s disbelief and misguided behaviours such as panic buying, disobedience towards the health protocol, and even rejecting the Covid-19 test and vaccination.

In response to the urgency, the research team of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering UGM in collaboration with the research team of Deakin University, Australia funded by Study Melbourne Research Partnership, consisting of Dr. Hilya Mudrika Arini (UGM), Dr. Titis Wijayanto (UGM), Dr. Yun Prihantina (UGM), Dr. Achmad Pratama Rifai (UGM), Assoc. Prof. Xiao Liu, (Deakin University), and Assoc. Prof. Jianxin Li (Deakin University), would conduct an online survey towards 1.500 Indonesian and Australian citizens with different generational cohorts (including the Baby Boomers, the Millennials, and the Gen Z’s) from selected cities and towns to classify each individual based on their characteristics in trusting and processing Covid-19 pandemic-related information. The survey was also designed to identify and analyse people’s online behavioural characteristics regarding the news spreading and to help determining which group is the most susceptible to the fake news. In this research, the researchers would also collect multilingual dataset for Covid-19-related fake news spreading in Indonesia and Australia and develop an effective multilingual Covid-19-related fake news detection model. The result of this study is expected to help the government in the policy-making process to control the spread of Covid-19-related fake news.

Under the direction of Dr. Ir. Jayan Sentanuhady, S.T., M.Eng., IPU., ASEAN Eng., Alami Teknologi, a collaboration of Fadjar Novel (Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering), Reza Yustika Bayuardi (Department of Chemical Engineering), and Fano Alfian Ardyansyah (Industrial Engineering Alumni), won second place in the 2021 Ideanation Competition.

This competition is conducted by narration.tv and will take place online (ZOOM Meeting) from July to November 2021. Waste-To-Energy: Technology to Process Urban Waste and Medical Waste into Energy is a carbonizer technology offered by Alami Teknologi. Nowadays, the trash issue is one that has been resolved for a long time. The biggest impediment to resolving the garbage problem is the lack of effective and ecologically acceptable technology. Furthermore, many waste-related solutions have resulted in new difficulties, such as emissions and by-products that have not been optimized. The Alami Teknologi team provides a solution in the form of effective clean technology that can manage waste in the form of a scalable and modular carbonizer machine that can be incorporated based on the capacity and volume of current trash.

This technology’s intended users include district/city-level local governments, MSMEs, village governments, markets, hospitals, and offices, however for the time being, the team is focusing on TPS and village governments as end-customers. The major income source comes from the revenue share of charcoal as an output product of the carbonizer engine, and the second revenue stream comes from the sale of carbonizer technology. According to the market and business study, the entire market value is $195 million, with the major goals being TPS3R and TPA. These findings indicate a successful business study with a 3.9-year return on investment and a 25% ROI.

“Our objective is to assist the government in controlling urban and medical waste while also offering a cost-effective energy source,” said Fadjar Novel.
