Authors: Nurdiyanto Yusuf
Published: August 2024

Produksi daging sapi merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam memenuhi kebutuhan protein hewani di Indonesia. Namun, distribusi dan tingkat produksi yang tidak merata di berbagai provinsi menimbulkan tantangan dalam pengelolaan dan perencanaan yang efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memprediksi produksi daging sapi di Indonesia untuk tahun 2024 dan 2025 dengan menggunakan model prediksi berbasis Random Forest Regression, yang memanfaatkan data produksi historis dari tahun 2018 hingga 2023. Metode yang digunakan melibatkan pengumpulan data produksi daging sapi dari berbagai provinsi di Indonesia, diikuti dengan preprocessing data dan pembangunan model prediksi menggunakan algoritma Random Forest. Evaluasi model dilakukan dengan menggunakan metrik Mean Squared Error (MSE) dan R-squared (R²) untuk menilai akurasi dan kemampuan model dalam menjelaskan variabilitas data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model Random Forest memiliki kinerja yang sangat baik dengan nilai R-squared sebesar 0.946, yang mengindikasikan bahwa model ini mampu menjelaskan sekitar 94.6% dari variabilitas data produksi daging sapi. Prediksi menunjukkan bahwa Jawa Timur, Jawa Barat, dan Jawa Tengah akan tetap menjadi provinsi dengan produksi daging sapi tertinggi, sementara banyak provinsi di bagian timur Indonesia akan memiliki produksi yang relatif rendah. Temuan ini dapat digunakan untuk mendukung pengambilan keputusan strategis dalam upaya meningkatkan produksi daging sapi dan mengoptimalkan distribusi di seluruh Indonesia.

Published: August 2024

To lower the expenses of manufacturing traditional solar collectors and perfect use of water tanks in developing countries, a new design of integrated water heaters has been presented in a rhombus shape. This new design consists of a cube whose upper surface was cut into two directions at a 45o angle. This system's initial expenses can be kept to a minimum by using inexpensive commercial materials and little manufacturing skills. In cases of thermal instability, the MUE curve is typically employed to calculate the maximum efficiency that the system can attain. The MUE curve, which saves time and computer approaches in calculations of this kind, is the basis for this study. This experiment was studied during November and March to compare the system behavior under different climate conditions. The study included three cases per month. The first case was without any load, which reached a maximum useful efficiency of 59% for both November and March. In the case of continual loading, the system shows a maximum useful efficiency of 59% in March. When dealing with intermittent load, the maximum useful efficiency of 58% in March.

RESTITUTION RIGHT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE
Authors: Rahayu Puji , Adriano  , Pramono Budi
Published: August 2024

The legal protection for victims of sexual violence has been addressed in statutory regulations, but its implementation remains inadequate. This is evident in the lack of competence and training among law enforcers in handling victims of sexual violence, as well as the absence of psychologists/psychiatrists who can provide assistance in explaining mental conditions. The objective of this study is to examine the legal safeguards available to victims of sexual assault crimes and evaluate the compensation options provided to these victims. This study was conducted utilizing a normative juridical research methodology, which specifically involves analyzing the implementation of legal laws or norms. This research employs both a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The government has not adequately fulfilled its responsibilities in providing the necessary facilities and equipment to handle, protect, and support victims of sexual abuse. Statutory regulations have established compensation in the form of restitution, but the victim must still take initiative by submitting a request to secure the right to reparation. Restitution should be mandatory for the perpetrator/defendant to compensate the victim, irrespective of whether the victim initiates a request or not.

Online Training Using an Educational Video Improves Human Ability To Identify and Rate Kitten Fear Behavior
Authors: Graham Courtney , Hurley Shaela , Pearl David L. , Mason Georgia J. , Niel Lee
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Fear is a negative emotional state that can influence early behavioral development and lead to impairments in animal welfare. For young kittens, excessive fear early in life can instill lasting fearfulness leading to behavioral issues such as aggression, negative impacts on the human–animal bond, potential mistreatment, relinquishment to shelters, and/or euthanasia. Therefore, it is crucial that caretakers can accurately identify when their kittens might be experiencing fear in order to respond appropriately.
Methods: We used an online survey to determine: (1) whether members of the general public (n = 761) can accurately identify and rate different severities of fear behavior in young kittens in short video clips (i.e. no fear requiring no intervention, mild fear requiring awareness of possible intervention, and moderate fear requiring immediate intervention); and (2) whether an educational video offering specialized training on identifying kitten behavior can improve human ability to correctly rate kitten behavior in comparison to a general kitten care video.
Results: Using mixed logistic regression models, we found no difference at baseline in correct ratings between the two video groups across all fear categories. However, participants who received the specialized behavior training had significantly greater odds of being correct after video training for all three categories compared to participants who received the general kitten care video. Additionally, previous experience with cats and participant personality impacted ratings.
Conclusions: Overall, the current study demonstrates that concise and specialized training in identifying kitten behavior is a useful tool for improving human ability to identify and rate fear levels in kittens. This training approach can help strengthen caretaker understanding of kitten behavior to ensure interactions with potentially fear-provoking stimuli are properly mitigated to reduce related welfare impacts. Thus, these types of educational resources are encouraged within shelters, veterinary clinics, research settings, and foster and adoptive homes to improve the welfare of kittens.

A Decision Support System for Decongesting Prison in Edo State
Authors: OISE GODFREY
Published: August 2024

Three prisons in Edo state-Okho, Ozalla Farm, and Ubiaja-are used as case studies in this study, which focuses on the challenges of decongesting the country's jail system. The study's objective was to develop a decision support system (DSS) to aid in ranking and recommending inmates based on an acquittal likelihood factor who should be fast-tracked for a speedy trial, bail, or relocation/recommendation for other correctional techniques or facilities within the Nigerian legal system; aside from the prison. The paper presents a model for a decision support system that incorporates three multi-criteria decision-making systems, SAW, TOPSIS, and AHP, as well as six factors: those who are awaiting trial, detained, sentenced to life, condemned inmates, long-term offenders, and those who have received only a light sentence. While assigning weights to rank the prisoners, consider their dependency, age, gender, health status, and percentage of their sentence served. Experts, including two magistrates, ten prison wardens, five attorneys, ten convicts, six pastors, and nine NGO employees, engaged in a questionnaire poll to predetermine weights.  The DSS offers the decision maker two different levels of guidance, namely (a) a beginner mode and (b) an expert mode. The beginner mode is intended for decision-makers who are not familiar with the multi-criteria process. The advanced mode is employed when the decision-maker is conversant with the MA method and can choose a particular method using the predefined weights.

Published: August 2024

Infertility affects a significant portion of couples worldwide, with 30% of cases attributed to male factors, 30% to female factors, 30% to both partners, and 10% to unknown causes. This study focuses on two common causes of infertility: varicocele in men and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women. Varicocele, characterized by the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, disrupts spermatogenesis by increasing testicular temperature, leading to poor sperm quality. PCOS, affecting 5-10% of women of reproductive age, is marked by excessive androgen levels, irregular menstruation, and obesity, significantly raising the risk of infertility. Through case studies and literature review, this research highlights the potential for individuals with varicocele or PCOS to achieve pregnancy with appropriate treatment. The study aims to explore the specific examination and treatment processes required for these conditions and to provide insights into improving fertility outcomes for affected individuals.
THE EFFECT OF SELF-CONGRUITY AND BRAND CREDIBILITY ON PURCHASE DECISIONS WITH PURCHASE INTENTION AS A MEDIATING VARIABLE:
Authors: Hondo Immanuel Kurniawan
Published: August 2024

Purchasing decisions are individual activities directly involved in making decisions to make purchases of products offered by sellers. Purchase intention is an essential factor in the consumer decision-making process. In order for consumers to have interest in making purchases, strong branding is needed from the company. A strong brand can be obtained from the brand credibility that can be trusted, as well as information regarding the product position in a brand. Apart from a strong brand, companies nowadays also strive to create strong relational bonds with their consumers. This strong relational bond creates self-congruity as consumers decide to purchase and consume goods and services with an image that matches consumers' self-image. This research aims to examine the effect of brand credibility and self-congruity on purchase decisions for Apple MacBook Pro consumers in Surabaya through purchase intention as a mediating variable. This is a quantitative research with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 150 respondents in Surabaya with a minimum age of 17 years, who were selected through purposive sampling technique. The data collected was analyzed with the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The findings of this research indicate that brand credibility and self-congruity directly influence the purchase intention of MacBook Pro users in Surabaya. Brand credibility and self-congruity were also found to directly influence purchase decision and indirectly through purchase intention of Apple MacBook Pro users in Surabaya.

Unbalanced Data-Based Fault Diagnosis Method of Bearing Utilizing Time-Frequency DCGAN Processing
Authors: FEI Sheng-wei , LIU Ying-zhe
Published: August 2024

Aiming at the unbalanced datasets of bearing fault samples, a fault diagnosis method based on time-frequency conversion and processing of bearing vibration signals based on deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, through short-time Fourier transform(STFT), the vibration signals are converted into time-frequency images, and then time-frequency images are input into DCGAN to expand the fault samples.Secondly, the expanded fault samples are evaluated for image quality through the comprehensive method of peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR) and structural similarity(SSIM). Thirdly, using the Canny edge detection algorithm to extract features of the time-frequency image, and using the obtained binary image as the feature.Finally, k-nearest neighbor algorithm is used for classification to testify the superiority of time-frequency DCGAN processing. The experimental results show that the expanded samples can effectively improve the imbalance of the samples and improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of bearing.

C-gear is a novel gear transmission system, with no existing special machining and cutting tools to realize its construction. In this study, we employed a 5-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machining center to construct a C-gear, while solving the prototype manufacturing problem at the experimental research stage. We deduced the C-gear mathematical model and studied the three-dimensional (3D) modeling methods based on the analysis of its generation principle. The C-gear processing technique using the 5-axis CNC machining center and the tool path designs were established using the VERICUT and MASTERCAM softwares, and the C-gears were experimentally constructed. The maximum overcut and residual of the gear positioning hole surface were both found to be 0.094 mm. Moreover, the maximum overcut on the tooth surface and root were 0.02 and 0.03 mm, respectively, and the maximum residual on both the tooth surface and root was 0.03 mm. The machining overcuts and residual amounts of the proposed method were better than those of reference [14]. The existing overcut and residual errors included the errors generated by surface fitting during the 3D modeling of the gears. Therefore, the machining errors of the physically constructed tooth surface are expected to be smaller than the theoretical value, suggesting a high feasibility of the proposed method to realize the machining of C-gears.
Buckling of Thin-Walled Angle Column Made of Hybrid Laminate Under Axial Compression
Authors: WIŚNIOS Dominika , GAWRYLUK Jarosław
Published: August 2024

This paper presents the investigation of eigenproblem for angle columns made flax, carbon laminates. The first three eigenmodes were determined and corresponding critical load values for columns subjected to axial compression. The analysis was made for six configurations. Each of them had the same arrangement of layers. The effect of changing the material of individual layers on bifurcation load values was analyzed. The obtained values were related to the K1 configuration, for carbon and flax-carbon configurations the differences in the values of bifurcation load in relation to the all-flax configuration were determined for all 3 modes. Interpreting the achieved results, it was concluded that replacing the relevant layers of flax laminate with carbon layers could increase the operating range of the system in the linear area. Moreover, for hybrid configurations, the effect of using a single carbon layer versus using a pair of carbon layers on the critical load value was investigated. Analysis of the results showed that for the selected configurations, a higher bifurcation load value was obtained with the use of a single carbon layer compared to the use of a pair of symmetric carbon layers. The conducted research indicates the need to study this topic in more depth, due to the possibility of increasing the work of the system in the linear range while reducing the cost and environmental impact of the material used.
