PREFACE

Indonesian Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST) is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish and disseminate innovative research articles on the latest developments in all fields of science and technology. The journal publishes original papers in English, which contribute to the understanding of science and improvement of the science and technology. Papers may be theoretical explanation (including computational), experimental observation and analysis, or combination from both theoretical and experimental analysis. The contribution should be unpublished before and not under consideration for publication in elsewhere. IJoST maintains a standard double-blind peer review process. The review process means that the identity with the author, and the reviewer are not known to each other. IJoST is an open-access journal, and in this issue IJoST does not charge for readers, authors, or their institutions for access to the journal articles. This journal was firstly published on April 30, 2016, and issued every April and September in each year, published by Tim Pengembang Jurnal at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.

In this issue, we published nine papers, including seven original research articles and two review papers. In this issue, we received papers from remarkable researchers in several countries in the world, including Iran, Italy, Malaysia, South Korea, The Netherlands, and Indonesia. The first paper discussed about photodecomposition profile of organic material during the partial solar eclipse of 9 March 2016. The next paper presented about techno-economic assessment of coal to SNG power plant in Kalimantan. In the third paper, authors discussed about how to optimize and plan for Designing VHS Building Using Chronolux, in which this can be used for school building. In the fourth paper, authors discussed about project for offshore horizontal directional drilling (HDD) for pipeline crossing in Bukit Tua, Indonesia. The fifth article presented method for detecting mango tree varieties based on image processing. The next paper discussed on the relationship between social performance and corporate financial performance. The sixth paper described high temperature oxidation behavior of T91 steel in dry and humid condition. The seventh is a review article regarding early phase process evaluation, in which this evaluation based on industrial practices. The last paper is a review on module-scale simulation of forward osmosis module in the focus of Plate-and-Frame.

We believe that this issue will give benefits for the improvement and the development of science and technology.
