Judul: Research on User Readiness towards the Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology to Support Learning in High Schools
Abstrak: Penerapan teknologi Artificial Intelligence (AI) untuk mendukung pembelajaran di sekolah saat ini semakin berkembang. Meski demikian, upaya untuk mempromosikan literasi AI kepada masyarakat terpelajar, khususnya siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) masih terbatas. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk mengukur tingkat literasi AI siswa SMA sebelum teknologi AI diterapkan untuk mendukung pembelajaran di sekolah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui literasi AI siswa SMA dan memberikan rekomendasi kegiatan untuk meningkatkan literasi AI di kalangan siswa. Penelitian ini melibatkan siswa SMA untuk mengisi kuesioner literasi AI dan melakukan wawancara yang telah dirancang berdasarkan kuesioner dari hasil kajian pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa SMA telah familiar dengan istilah AI, pentingnya privasi data dalam penggunaan AI, dan penggunaan AI dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Akan tetapi, pemahaman siswa SMA tentang konsep dasar AI dan istilah-istilahnya masih terbatas., The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to support learning in schools is currently growing. However, efforts to promote AI literacy to the educated community, especially high school students (SMA) are still limited. Therefore, it is important to measure the level of AI literacy of high school students before AI technology is applied to support learning in schools. The purpose of this study is to measure the level of AI literacy of high school students and provide activity recommendations to improve AI literacy among students. This study involved high school students to fill out AI literacy questionnaires and conduct interviews that had been designed based on questionnaires from the results of library studies. Research results show that most high school students are familiar with the term AI, the importance of data privacy in AI usage, and the use of AI in everyday life. However, high school students' understanding of the basic concepts of AI and its terms is still limited.

Judul: The Relationship Between Social Media Use and Digital  Literacy Levels Among Adolescents
Abstrak: Perkembangan teknologi komunikasi dan informasi di era digital saat ini berkembang dengan pesat. Penggunaan media sosial dan literasi digital menjadi hal yang sangat penting untuk dipahami oleh setiap remaja. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan penggunaan media sosial dan tingkat literasi digital di kalangan remaja Kelurahan Karadenan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan didukung data kualitatif. Teknik pemilihan responden yang digunakan adalah teknik convenience sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas remaja memiliki tingkat durasi dan frekuensi penggunaan media sosial pada kategori tinggi, mayoritas responden memiliki satu perangkat media dan tujuan penggunaan media sosial yang tidak beragam. Tingkat literasi digital pada mayoritas aspek pada tingkat sedang. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media sosial berhubungan signifikan dengan tingkat literasi digital di kalangan remaja. Jika semakin banyak perangkat media yang digunakan remaja, remaja lebih mahir dalam memanfaatkan media dengan mengaplikasikan penggunaan internet yang didapat di berbagai jenis perangkat media yang mereka miliki., The development of communication and information technology in today's digital era is growing rapidly. The use of social media and digital literacy is very important for every teenager to understand. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the use of social media and the level of digital literacy among adolescents in Karadenan Village. This research uses a quantitative approach and is supported by qualitative data. The respondent selection technique used was convenience sampling technique. The results showed that the majority of teenagers had a high level of duration and frequency of social media use, the majority of respondents had one media device and the purpose of using social media was not diverse. The level of digital literacy in the majority of aspects is at a moderate level. This study shows that the use of social media is significantly related to the level of digital literacy among adolescents. If the more media devices teenagers use, teenagers are more adept at utilizing the media by applying the internet usage obtained in various types of media devices they have.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
