Authors: Puguh Jayadi
Published: December 2024

Prediksi terhadap data kepercayaan pengguna internet dalam paradigma pervasive computing pernah dilakukan sebelumnya, namun tidak menutup kemungkinan untuk menggunakan metode lain. Model prediksi regresi logistik berganda digunakan sebagai pengembangannya. Variabel hasil (dependen) pada dataset memiliki tipe data binominal menunjukkan keadaan kepercayaan pengguna internet terhadap beberapa variabel prediktor (independen) yang didefinisikan dengan sejumlah faktor-faktor bertipe data polynominal. Penggunaan model prediksi regresi logistik berganda dilakukan beberapa kali dengan persentase pembagian dataset berbeda sehingga menghasilkan koefisien regresi yang berbeda-beda pula. Hal ini dilakukan untuk menemukan nilai kebenaran prediksi yang maksimal melalui nilai keluaran dari Confusion Matrix dan kurva ROC. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa model regresi logistik berganda dapat digunakan secara efektif untuk memprediksi kepercayaan pengguna internet dalam paradigma pervasive computing dengan terlebih dahulu melalui tahap preprosessing data serta pembagian data training dan data testing yang sesuai. Dari beberapa pembagian data, model memprediksi hampir mencapai tingkat akurasi 100%.

Published: December 2024

Pada setiap Perguruan Tinggi terdapat organisasi kemahasiswaan, salah satunya di tingkat prodi. Himpunan Mahasiswa Manajemen Informatika (HMMI) di Unmer Madiun adalah salah satu contoh organisasi kemahasiswaan pada tingkat prodi. Dalam memilih ketua HMMI masih terdapat kendala yaitu penilaian secara manual yang kurang efektif dalam proses penyeleksian untuk menentukan calon ketua HMMI sesuai dengan kriteria. Pemilihan yang dilakukan secara manual seperti melakukan voting masih kurang akurat karena penilaian dari masing-masing individu bisa secara subyektif bukan secara obyektif. Maka untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut peneliti menggunakan Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dengan metode SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) untuk pemilihan calon ketua HMMI dengan parameter bobot kriteria yang telah di tentukan. Untuk pemilihan ketua HMMI terdapat kriteria, antara lain IPK, absensi kuliah, visi dan misi, pengalaman berorganisasi dan wawasan umum. Metode SAW merupakan metode yang menyeleksi alternatif terbaik dari sejumlah alternatif berdasarkan kriteria-kriteria yang ditentukan dengan melakukan perankingan. Metode ini melakukan perhitungan yang menyediakan kriteria tertentu sehingga diperoleh hasil yang digunakan menjadi nilai akhir dalam pengambilan keputusan. Kriteria-kriteria tersebut dapat dikembangkan lebih luas berdasarkan kebutuhan yang digunakan dalam memilih ketua HMMI. Pada penelitian ini berhasil dalam membuat aplikasi Sistem Pendukung Keputusan sebagai pendukung Pemilihan Ketua HMMI UNMER Madiun.

Authors: Tahalea Sylvert Prian
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis hubungan antar hero dan menemukan peran hero dalam permainan online DOTA2. Banyaknya hero dengan atribut berbeda akan menghasilkan kombinasi dan sinergi yang berbeda. Sehingga hubungan antar hero maupun peran hero dalam pertandingan profesional DOTA2 merupakan hal yang penting untuk diidentifikasi karena hal tersebut berpengaruh terhadap jalannya pertandingan hingga hasil pertandingan. Kedua hal tersebut dapat diidentifikasi menggunakan analisis jaringan sosial dengan menggunakan banyaknya pertandingan yang dilakukan bersama sebagai hubungan yang terjadi diantara hero-hero tersebut. Hubungan antar hero kemudian dianggap sebagai edge dan hero dianggap sebagai node.  Ada 17.778 data pertandingan profesional yang digunakan dalam penelitian yang kemudian diproses menggunakan pengukuran degree centrality untuk melihat popularitas hero, betweenness centrality untuk melihat peran sebagai penghubung, dan closeness centrality untuk melihat kedekatan hero dengan hero lainnya. Analisis dilakukan pada jaringan utuh dan jaringan menang untuk dilihat peran hero-hero tersebut pada kondisi normal dan kondisi menang. Hasil yang diperoleh dari kedua jaringan tersebut sangat berbeda, dimana pada jaringan utuh terlihat hero yang memiliki degree centrality atau popular juga bertindak sebagai penghubung maupun memiliki kedekatan yang baik dengan hero-hero lainnya. Tetapi hal tersebut tidak berlaku pada jaringan menang, dimana hero yang popular berbeda dengan hero penghubung dan hero yang memiliki kedekatan yang baik dengan hero-hero lainnya.

Let’s CHAT About Artificial Intelligence for Students With Disabilities: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Zhang Ling , Carter Richard Allen , Liu Yuting , Peng Peng
Published: December 2024

Researchers have explored artificial intelligence (AI) applications across educational contexts; however, there is a lack of meta-analysis focused on students with disabilities (SWDs). This study examined the overall effect of AI-based interventions on SWDs’ learning outcomes in 29 (quasi-)experimental studies conducted globally. We used cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) to explore how the effect was moderated by factors, including participant-, AI-, AI-SWD interaction-, intervention-, and methodology-related characteristics. Results indicated a medium effect (Hedge’s g = 0.588) of interventions operating through robots, computer software, and intelligent VR systems. There were no statistically significant moderators. Regardless, this study contributes to a holistic understanding of historical dimensions of AI applications for SWDs and offers critical theoretical implications for future investigations. We call for more rigorous research to explore AI that not only ensures accessibility but also promotes opportunities for SWDs to take an agentic role in participating in and contributing to AI-mediated learning activities.

Published: December 2024

La determinación exacta de la pérdida de agua por el canopeo de las plantas es importante para conocer el consumo de agua por los cultivos y para muchas actividades agrícolas relacionadas con la planificación del uso de agua. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la pérdida de agua del canopeo del maíz expuesto al sol y parcialmente sombreado, sin restricciones hídricas. Para ello se utilizó la ecuación del balance de energía de Penman-Monteith. Las estimaciones obtenidas fueron validadas por un sistema de pulsos de calor, el cual fue usado para medir el flujo de savia del tallo, y por un lisímetro de pesadas. La pérdida de agua fue corregida para considerar el efecto del surco en los estadios juveniles del maíz. Los resultados logrados mostraron que la transpiración del canopeo sombreado oscilaba entre el 30 y 45 % del total transpirado considerando las fluctuaciones de la demanda atmosférica. Las estimaciones horarias y diarias de la transpiración presentaron una buena relación con las mediciones del lisímetro y los pulsos de calor.

Authors: Simanjuntak Daniel Parulian
Published: December 2024

This research aims to determine the influence of gross regional domestic product (GRDP), local own-source revenue (PAD), and balance funds on local government capital expenditure allocation, both partially and simultaneously. The population in this study consists of all provincial governments in Indonesia, totaling 34 provincial governments from 2019 to 2021, resulting in a total sample size of 102 observations. This research uses Budget Realization Report (LRA) data for capital expenditure, PAD, and balance funds data, while GRDP data is obtained from BPS-Statistics Indonesia. The multiple linear regression technique is used for longitudinal/panel data in hypothesis testing. The results of the study indicate that GRDP does not significantly influence capital expenditure allocation; otherwise, PAD and balance funds have a significant positive impact on capital expenditure allocation. This research contributes to the literature on state and regional financial management in the context of state and regional revenue and expenditure.
Pengenaan Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan untuk Kawasan Perhutanan Sosial: Telaah Literatur
Authors: Susilawati Hanik
Published: December 2024

This study aims to provide an alternative to the imposition of PBB for social forestry areas. Currently, the imposition of PBB in the forestry sector regulated by the DGT does not include this area in its taxation provisions. This condition gives opportunity for local governments to impose PBB on these areas located in production forests. Taxation alternatives were identified based on existing regulations, including laws, government regulations and ministerial regulations. Alternative regulations are then analyzed using Adam Smith's tax collection principles. Based on the analysis, it is known that all tax collection principles are met, except the principle of equality. The principle of equality may not be fulfilled due to the possibility of different tax rates for the same taxpayer on social forestry areas across districts/cities, due to differences in regulations on PBB imposition between regions. The anticipation is that local governments can coordinate for this condition and conduct a balance analysis to make the imposition fairer. As for the principles of certainty, convenience of payment, and economy, the suggested alternative has been fulfilled.
A Comprehensive Study of Artificial Intelligence Applications of Drone
Authors: Umashankar Nidhi , K Sai Geethanjali
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Thus, allowing them to perform difficult tasks like domains such as agriculture, logistics, disaster relief, and surveillance with little human intervention. Drones can now carry out many processes such as data collection of data in real time, optimize flight paths, detect objects, and make key decisions on their own, by incorporating novel technologies like Computer Vision (CV), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL). This chapter delves into significant AI applications in UAVs, emphasizing advancements such as flight path optimization via Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks. It also uses real-world case studies and simulations to investigate advances in energy efficiency, obstacle avoidance, and mission flexibility. Real-time decision-making algorithms use sensor data to adjust drones to changing conditions. On the other hand, DL models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) improve accuracy in tasks such as object detection, categorization, and image analysis. Recent technologies, such as swarm intelligence and multi-agent systems, show how drones can interact autonomously to push the limits of their capabilities. Reinforcement Learning (RL) plays an important role in optimizing work allocation, and AI-driven predictive maintenance and problem detection ensure that UAVs operate consistently. AI-powered technologies improve the management of energy, real-time tracking, and picture recognition, thereby increasing drone efficiency. Finally, the computing power challenges, AI model scalability, and future research areas such as collaborative learning and adapting to unpredictable weather along with navigating regulatory framework are discussed. All of these demonstrate how AI-enabled drones have the potential to reshape industries and drive societal progress.
Objective Major-Specific Fit Forecasts Regarding Interests, Skills, and Expectations Predict Motivation, Choice and Success in a Major
Authors: Merkle Belinda Viola Marijana , Dickhäuser Oliver
Published: December 2024

Choosing an educational path is a difficult life decision that can lead to unfavorable outcomes when it goes wrong. However, little research has examined how to support successful study major choice processes. To address this gap, we draw on person-environment fit and (affective) forecasting bias theories, assuming that higher objective major-specific fit forecasts (interests, skills, expectations) predict success (motivation, satisfaction, dropout intention, achievement) beyond subjective forecasts. Additionally relying on expectancy-value theory and cognitive dissonance theory, we assume that higher objective major-specific fit forecasts, when displayed in feedback, predict higher motivation to choose a major and higher likelihood of enrollment beyond subjective forecasts. Finally, we propose that prospective students receiving feedback before enrollment experience more success than those receiving no feedback. We tested these hypotheses in a longitudinal field study. Over three years, more than 4000 prospective students received feedback on their objective major-specific fit forecasts in an online-self-assessment and reported their motivation for the major before and after feedback. Subsequently, over 500 of these prospective students entered their respective major and reported their success. Additionally, we surveyed over 200 students who did not receive feedback. As hypothesized, objective major-specific fit forecasts predicted success beyond subjective forecasts. Higher objective forecasts related to higher motivation to choose the major and higher likelihood of enrollment beyond subjective forecasts. Finally, prospective students who received feedback on their objective forecasts before enrollment experienced more success compared to no feedback. We discuss theoretical implications for study choice and success theories and practical implications for study guidance.

The Typability Index: A tool for measuring and controlling for typing difficulty in text stimuli
Authors: Williams Emily A. , Warburton Matthew , Krzywinski Martin , Mushtaq Faisal
Published: December 2024

In typing proficiency tests, like those used in job recruitment or research studies, individuals are evaluated based on their speed and accuracy. However, the difficulty of the typed text — its ‘typability’ — can impact typing performance, introducing variability that is unrelated to skill. To ensure valid comparisons across individuals, time, and conditions, it is crucial to control for this variation in text difficulty. To address this issue, we develop the Typability Index, a model that predicts the relative typing speed of text. Building on earlier attempts to quantify typing difficulty from the 1940s, we create a more advanced typability model using the 136M Keystrokes dataset (Dhakal et al., 2018) where over 168,000 participants each typed 15 sentences from a pool of 1,525 items. Through random forest regression, we identify 10 key predictors from 33 candidate variables, including the proportion of lowercase letters, word frequency, and finger movement mechanics. Trained on 80% of the dataset and validated on the remaining 20% and a novel dataset, the Typability Index explained 72-87% of the variance in typability, compared to the 34% explained by an earlier leading model (Bell, 1949). To promote higher control in typing research and assessments, we introduce a web-based tool to facilitate accurate measurement and fair comparisons of text typability.
Online Violence Against Women in Politics: Canada in a Comparative Perspective
Authors: Bardall Gabrielle , Tenove Chris
Published: December 2024

This chapter explores how Canada fits key global patterns of gender-based violence in politics (GBV-P) using digital technologies. We present research on the causes, forms, and consequences of online violence against women in politics, drawing primarily on Bardall’s findings from ten country case studies and Tenove et al’s research on the Canadian context. This comparative research enables us to consider key questions: How might online GBV-P be conceptualized and studied across diverse contexts, and what are the challenges in doing so? Are some global patterns more or less prevalent in Canada? What are the implications of these findings for action in Canada and globally in addressing the role of digital technologies in gender-based violence in politics?

Published: December 2024

The perception of bankers on green banking practices in commercial banks in the Kathmandu Valley can provide valuable insights into the current state of sustainable practices. To effectively implement sustainable practices, banks must develop policies and strategies, provide training and education, and promote green products and services. However, developing nations face challenges such as lack of infrastructure and resources. In order to investigate the perception of Green Banking in developing country like Nepal, we chose banking professionals working in the Kathmandu Valley, the capital city of Nepal. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data and PLS-SEM was used to analyze bankers' perception on Green Banking in commercial banks of the Kathmandu Valley. A sample of 403 individuals was gathered using the KOBO toolbox from the Kathmandu Valley. Purposive sampling technique is used as a sampling technique of non-probability sampling. This study tested five hypotheses on the relationship between banking policy, daily operations, investment, and green banking practices in commercial banks in the Kathmandu Valley. Hypotheses H2, H3 and H4 are supported. The study identifies a lack of awareness among bankers in the Kathmandu Valley about green banking practices, highlighting the need for better education and training. Despite challenges such as trust issues and limited technology knowledge, green banking offers significant potential for enhancing business operations, customer loyalty, and environmental responsibility.
The psychological impact on women during matchmaking process in arranged marriage
Authors: Chaudhari Sabita
Published: December 2024

This study examines the psychological impact of the matchmaking process in arranged marriage on women in the Dhanusha district of Nepal. The research used a semi-structured interview to explore the experiences of 100 women aged 20-40 who faced evaluation during the arranged marriage matchmaking process. The findings reveal that physical appearance, particularly skin complexion, and height, is a predominant standard in bride selection, often leading to reduced self-esteem, psychological distress, and feelings of insufficiency among women who do not conform to these societal expectations. Dowry remains a significant factor in urban and rural settings adding financial and emotional burdens on women and their families. Although educational qualification offers some agency in marriage negotiations, it does not alleviate the issues related to beauty standards and dowry demands. Proficiency in domestic skills is also appreciated, particularly in traditional rural settings where educational qualification is less valued. The research contributes to the knowledge of how deeply rooted cultural and traditional norms perpetuate gender inequality and adversely affect women's mental well-being. However, the study's limited sample size and geographical region suggest the need for further research across diverse regions to gain more comprehensive insights.

Authors: Đorđić Višnja , Marković Miroslav , Mirčić Vukobrat Svetlana , Čikić Anita
Published: December 2024

 The COVID-19 outbreak and svift policy response affected the everyday lives of youth in Serbia, challenging their mental well-being. Aiming to examine the relationship between physical activity level (PAL) and mental well-being of adolescents during the strictest lockdown in Serbia, in April 2020, we analyzed data collected through the national online survey (N = 3089). According to the self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), participants were divided into three groups: 1) engaged in MVPA for at least 60 minutes every day; 2) engaged in MVPA for at least 60 minutes on 4-6 days per week; and 3) engaged in the same amount of MVPA on 0-3 days per week. Mental well-being measures included life satisfaction, self-rated health, and health complaints. An one-way ANOVA detected a significant effect of adolescents’ PAL on their life satisfaction, F(3,27) = 49.64, p = 0.000. The Tukey test showed that the mean life satisfaction was significantly higher in the most active group (M = 8.66, SD = 1.56) than in the moderately active group (M = 8.27, SD = 1.56), and the least active group (M = 7.93, SD = 1.76). The chi-square tests revealed significant associations between adolescents’ PAL and health complaints; less active adolescents were more likely to experience symptoms like headache, nervousness, feeling low, irritability, sleep difficulties, and dizziness (p ≤  0.00). They also experienced multiple health complaints more frequently and self-rated their health less favorably. Therefore, physical activity should be promoted as a protective factor for adolescents’ mental well-being, particularly in emergencies.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Western and Non-Western Populations: Prevalence, Psychological Comorbidities, Quality of Life and Role of Nutrition
Authors: Aslam Aroob
Published: December 2024

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder with various subtypes (IBS-C, IBS-D, IBS-M, IBS-U), affecting both Western and non-Western populations. Prevalence varies globally, influenced by diagnostic criteria, survey methods, and cultural factors. Women are more commonly affected, especially by IBS-C, but regional and ethnic differences exist. Psychological comorbidities, including anxiety and depression, worsen symptoms and quality of life. Dietary interventions, such as gluten elimination and low FODMAP diets, help manage symptoms, but challenges remain, particularly in non-Western countries due to limited knowledge. This essay critiques the Western-centric Rome IV diagnostic criteria, advocating for a broader approach that includes psychological and gastrointestinal factors in IBS diagnosis and management.

In this study, based on andragogy learning theory, to explore the college learning experiences of late-year students in their 60s and 70s, the Life Design Major at S University's Adult College was selected as a suitable case and a qualitative study was conducted with six research participants. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were drawn. First, the motivation for entering university based on the desire to know andragogy was revealed to be the earnest desire to know and the perception that studying is the best in the age of longevity, which made the dream of going to university come true. Second, the change in life after entering college based on the change in andragogy self-concept was found to expand the breadth of knowledge and thoughts, and to gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment to the extent of being able to have logical conversations. Third, late-year student's effective education methods based on andragogy learning experience include simultaneous online and face-to-face classes, watching class-related case videos, experiential learning through the five senses, and various activities such as MT, sports competitions, poetry writing, and educational volunteer work. It was analyzed through experience provision and discussion classes. This can be seen as an expansion of learning by integrating the life lived so far and what has been learned. Fourth, the learning methods of late-year students based on andragogy learning tendencies include repetitive learning, digital learning, and receiving help from department executives and young classmates. In this way, it was found that learning obstacles were immediately resolved and students were able to find learning tips that suited them. Fifth, factors affecting the learning motivation of late-year students based on andragogy learning motivation were explored as family support, instructor provision of various learning and activity opportunities, help from department executives and classmates, and creation of a learning environment at home. Sixth, late-year students post-graduation plan based on andragogy learning readiness hoped for activities to donate what he had learned to his talents, and in order to carry out these developmental tasks, he was found to be developing learning capabilities based on learning experiences. This study can be said to be meaningful in that it revealed that late-year students are learning based on the six principles of andragogy. Additionally, because there are differences in the learning experiences of late-year students in their 60s and 70s and those in their 30s and 50s, it is recommended that follow-up research be conducted on various age groups.

Based on the geochemical and isotopic (δ18О, δD) data the thermal and fluid conditions during the formation of the Eldjurta granite massif were reconstructed. Analysis of rocks collected from the core of the Tyrnyauz Superdeep Well (TSW) within the depth range of 1427–3923 m revealed their homogeneous isotopic parameters: the δ18О values of bulk samples, quartz, feldspars, and biotite in 12 samples of biotite granites are 8.50 ± 0.33, 9.55 ± 0.22, 8.40 ± 0.33 and 5.45 ± 0.40‰, respectively. The δD values in the biotite vary from −103.3 to −95.6‰. The closure temperatures of the oxygen isotope system of quartz are 440–980°C. The rock cooling history was reconstructed using a new approach based on the analysis of single quartz grains. This approach can be used for detailed reconstructions of thermal history during formation of intrusive bodies. The definite samples were used to demonstrate that Dodson’s equation is valid for description of the δ18О values of quartz in a granite system. The data obtained suggest that the studied part of the massif was formed in at least two almost simultaneous stages. The lower part of the massif was crystallized first, and the second injection of granite melt arrived immediately after the first portion has been crystallized, but had no yet had time to cool significantly. The Тс values in the lower part of the massif indicate the reopening of the oxygen isotope system of quartz, with subsequent long-term isotope re-equilibration between minerals. This leads to decrease of the observed Тс values and the calculated cooling rates, which is related to increasing volume of the intrusive body and cooling within already heated rocks. Estimates of the isotopic parameters of the water component indicate the absence of exotic water fluid (meteoric or buried waters) during cooling of the massif. The variations of the δ18О values in the minerals of the Eldjurta biotite granites can be described only in terms of a simple retrograde exchange at the cooling stage

Composite is a new type of material which is the result of engineering, consisting of two or more materials, with the properties of each material being different from each other both in terms of chemical and physical properties. The aim of this research is to determine the tensile and flexural strength values of pineapple leaf fiber composites with a cross-ply laminate configuration with fiber arrangement angles [0, 90°, 0°], [45˚, -45˚, 45˚] and [ 30°, -30°, 30°]. This research uses fiber arrangement directions [0, 90°, 0°], [45˚, -45˚, 45˚] and [30˚, -30 ˚, 30 ˚] with a cross-ply laminate configuration and uses. The composite was made in a composite mold measuring P = 190 mm, L = 90 mm and t = 5 mm. The results of this research show that the influence of the pineapple leaf fiber orientation angle on the average tensile stress value of composites with pineapple leaf fiber cross-ply laminate configuration with the highest tensile stress value is shown by the fiber direction at an angle of [30°, -30°, 30°] amounted to 27,611 MPa, while the lowest composite value with the angle [45˚, -45˚, 45˚] was 19,407 MPa. The highest bending stress value is found in the composite with an orientation angle of [0, 90°, 0°] with an average value of 59.002 MPa, while the composite with a fiber orientation angle of [45˚, -45˚, 45˚] has a higher bending stress value. low at 32.974 MPa.

COVID-19 merupakan penyakit yang menyerang sistem pernapasan dan dapat mengakibatkan kematian. Tanggal 9 Maret 2020, WHO resmi menyatakan COVID-19 sebagai pandemi global. Transmisi COVID-19 sangat mudah, menjadikan pertambahan kasus positif COVID-19 kian melonjak sehingga pemerintah menetapkan kebijakan membatasi kegiatan kemasyarakatan serta menetapkan protokol kesehatan dan pemberian vaksin. Hasil indepth interview pada tokoh mayarakat di Kabupaten Karawang menyampaikan sebagian besar penduduk masih memiliki pola hidup tradisional dan banyak yang menolak dilakukan vaksin COVID-19 karena kurang terpapar informasi sehingga masyarakat sukar untuk memilah informasi yang berdasarkan fakta ilmiah ataupun informasi palsu. Hal tersebut menyebabkan persepsi masyarakat terhadap program yang diberikan untuk menangani pandemi hanya dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang kurang penting. Sehingga tujuan dari kegiatan ini untuk meningatkan pemahaman mengenai COVID-19, pencegahan penularan COVID-19 melalui edukasi dan vaksinasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa implementasi edukasi dan vaksinasi terhadap pencegahan penularan COVID-19 meningkat dengan semakin meningkatanya animo masyarakat untuk melakukan vaksinasi dan patuh terhadap protokol kesehatan sebagai bukti pemahaman masyarakat mengenai penularan dan pencegahan COVID-19 meningkat. Hal ini berdampak domino terhadap tercapainya kekebalan komunitas COVID-19 di Kabupaten Karawang.
