Pencapaian Luar Biasa dalam Teknologi Sistem Drainase Air Hujan

Seorang mahasiswa program doktoral by research angkatan 2022 Universitas Diponegoro (Undip) Semarang, Akhmad Zikri, berhasil meraih gelar doktor dalam bidang teknologi sistem drainase air hujan sifonik. Ini adalah pencapaian pertama di Indonesia yang menunjukkan kemajuan signifikan dalam pengembangan teknologi ini.

Ujian doktoralnya diselesaikan di Departemen Teknik Mesin Fakultas Teknik Undip dengan bimbingan dari Rusnaldy, ST., MT., PhD, Ojo Kurdi, ST., MT., PhD (promotor), dan Syaiful, ST., MT., PhD (co-promotor). Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Zikri tidak hanya menghasilkan inovasi teknologi, tetapi juga memberikan kontribusi nyata terhadap pembangunan berkelanjutan.

Zikri menjelaskan bahwa teknologi sistem drainase air hujan sifonik yang dikembangkannya membuat Indonesia sejajar dengan negara-negara maju seperti Inggris, Amerika Serikat, dan Australia. Penemuan ini menjadi langkah penting dalam pengembangan sistem drainase modern yang lebih efisien dan ramah lingkungan.

Penelitian tersebut dilakukan secara mandiri oleh Akhmad Zikri, yang juga menjabat sebagai Direktur PT Siphonic Flow Mandiri. Hasil riset ini memperkuat posisi Zikri sebagai praktisi dengan pengalaman lebih dari 23 tahun di bidang teknologi sifonik.

Salah satu hasil penelitiannya adalah Siphonic Roof Outlet (SRO) generasi terbaru bernama NOFLAF. Produk ini memiliki kapasitas aliran tinggi, ketinggian air rendah, tahan terhadap penyumbatan oleh sampah, dan mampu mengalirkan hingga 90 persen dari kapasitas maksimum. SRO ini sangat efektif dan efisien untuk berbagai jenis bangunan serta diproduksi secara lokal, sehingga mengurangi ketergantungan pada teknologi impor.

Tingkat komponen dalam negeri (TKDN) pada produk ini cukup tinggi, yang berkontribusi menekan kebutuhan bahan baku impor. Teknologi sistem sifonik ini menawarkan keunggulan dibanding sistem gravitasi, seperti kemampuan adaptasi terhadap perubahan iklim, pengurangan emisi karbon, dan efisiensi penggunaan bahan baku.

Sistem ini juga sejalan dengan tujuan Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) dan program Net Zero Emission 2060, serta mendukung konsep Green Building melalui penggunaan air hujan yang lebih optimal.

PT Siphonic Flow Mandiri, di bawah kepemimpinan Zikri, telah menyelesaikan 125 proyek dengan total luas atap mencapai 3,9 juta meter persegi dan dipercaya oleh 57 pelanggan tetap. Proyek-proyek tersebut tersebar di seluruh Indonesia, meliputi berbagai tipe bangunan seperti bandara, gudang, perkantoran, pusat komersial, industri, perumahan, dan hotel.

“Kami bangga menjadi mitra terpercaya dalam menyediakan solusi teknologi sistem sifonik yang efektif dan efisien untuk berbagai kebutuhan bangunan di Indonesia,” ujar Zikri. Dengan inovasi dan dedikasi yang tinggi, Zikri membuktikan bahwa Indonesia mampu bersaing di dunia teknologi sifonik.

The Rise of AI-Powered Real Estate Discovery in Japan In Tokyo, a growing number of Japanese companies are leveraging satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to identify abandoned houses that could be repurposed or sold. This innovative approach is becoming increasingly vital as the country faces a rising number of deserted properties due to its aging population. Where Inc., a startup, offers a service that uses AI trained on tens of thousands of images to detect signs of aging roofs, such as rust and discoloration. These findings are then overlaid on satellite maps, helping users spot properties that may have been left unattended. One of Where Inc.'s users, Kotaro Yasue, recently discovered a two-story wooden house through this service. He was able to contact the owner via a real estate registry. It turned out that the house had been neglected for over a decade, and the owner was unsure how to proceed with its disposal. Yasue, who runs a house rental service company in G...

A Rare Case of Cannabis-Induced Cardiac Arrest in a Young, Healthy Woman A 26-year-old woman from Georgia experienced a life-threatening cardiac arrest after smoking marijuana. The incident occurred when her fiancé discovered her unconscious on the bathroom floor, prompting immediate emergency medical intervention. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors confirmed that she had suffered a cardiac arrest, where the heart suddenly stopped beating. The woman had no known pre-existing health conditions and tested negative for heart-related issues such as arrhythmia. However, she was found to have high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis responsible for the "high" sensation. Doctors diagnosed her with ventricular fibrillation, a severe heart rhythm disorder that prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. This led to what they described as a "cannabis-induced cardiac arrest." This case has rais...
