ARTICLE REVIEW: The Influence Of Climate Change On Rice Production And Cultivation Patterns In Indonesia
Authors: Ramadhan Nugraha
Published: March 2024

Climate change is marked by deviations in the conditions of several climate elements, whose intensity tends to change and deviate from dynamics and average conditions towards a certain direction (increasing or decreasing), whether occurring naturally or potentially occurring more rapidly due to human activities. Climate change is the biggest threat to agrarian countries in the world, including Indonesia. Agriculture is a part of national food security, so climate change will impact production stability because plant growth and development activities heavily rely on climatic conditions. El Nino is estimated to affect harvest yields on at least 25% of global agricultural land. Characteristics of El Nino, such as its intensity, will result in the severity level of global climate impacts. Based on the conducted review, it is understood that climate change indeed significantly influences many aspects, particularly in the field of agriculture (specifically the rice commodity). The impacts of reduced production and changes in rice planting patterns have been felt in various regions of Indonesia.

Authors: Dhruv Tanvi Meet
Published: March 2024

The most prevalent type of cancer among women is breast cancer. According to the statistics given by the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the reason behind the death of about 2.3 billion women globally in 2020, accounting for 685.9 million deaths. Since they are thought to be useful approaches, machine learning and deep learning techniques have drawn attention from researchers in breast cancer detection. Also, it can significantly assist in the process of prior detection and prediction of breast cancer by extracting handcrafted features. However, in recent years, improvements in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the successful use of deep learning strategies like CNN and the transfer learning method for detection of breast cancer. A significantly large dataset is used for deep learning methods. It does not require human intervention for feature extraction, which, as a result, enhances the patient's chances of survival. This review paper is based on breast cancer detection using deep learning and machine learning-based cancer detection techniques to aid in the understanding of trends and challenges in cancer detection.

Authors: Santolin Rodrigo Bruno , Barbosa Nonemacher Thaise
Published: March 2024

A Economia Circular (EC) é posicionada como um novo paradigma de desenvolvimento que busca fechar os ciclos dos produtos e materiais, estendendo a vida útil dos compostos manufaturados. Ela é ativada através do princípio dos 4Rs: reduzir, reutilizar, reciclar e remanufaturar. Desta forma, indústrias dos mais variados setores tem buscado fazer uma transição de seus modelos de negócios em direção a Modelos de Negócios Circulares (MNCs). O setor manufatureiro, que é muito dependente de matérias primas virgens e não renováveis, tem enfrentado diversos desafios nesta transição. Servindo como um amparo a estes desafios, esta pesquisa identificou as barreiras mais relevantes para a adoção da EC por parte das indústrias manufatureiras. Foram identificadas nove relevantes barreiras para a adoção da EC que foram posteriormente analisadas utilizando a metodologia DEMATEL. Esta análise permitiu uma abordagem sistêmica das inter-relações entre cada uma das barreiras. Além disso, os resultados apresentaram “custos elevados para implementar novas tecnologias”, “baixa adoção de tecnologias digitais”, “falta de incentivo e investimento público” e “aversão ao risco por parte da alta administração” como sendo, respectivamente, as quatro barreiras mais relevantes no processo de transição para a EC. Isto fornece importantes implicações sobre priorizações que devem ser dadas pelos tomadores de decisão dentro das indústrias manufatureiras bem como pelos formuladores de políticas públicas e legislações.

The Flâneur in Baudelaire and Whitman
Authors: Huang Chiung-Ying
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the trans-cultural affinities between Whitman and Baudelaire through the question of the flâneur, a figure whose emergence coincides with the booming development of economic industry in the nineteenth century. Although there is no historical evidence that Whitman had any real connection with Baudelaire in his life, both Baudelaire and Whitman are all poets of modern life and have mutual infatuation with modernity. Both poets also innovatively demonstrate their poetic strength by establishing a poetic world dominated by visual images, with their poetic visions deeply rooted in the frank realities of modern urban life, unveiling a particular Modernist mode of urban experience. In investigating a possible link between Baudelaire and Whitman, this paper concludes that the relationship between the two poets is one of confluence rather than influence. Though deployed in the mode of the flâneur, Whitman’s poetics is in essence apart from this French model. More than simply a flâneur, Whitman is the poet of the city, the crowds, the body, the soul, and the nation. Discussing the roles of the flâneur in Whitman and Baudelaire, this paper manages to introduce new material for a comparative study between the two poets.

Authors: Malik Sushant , Kajale Dilip
Published: March 2024

Farmers' organizations worldwide are essential, ensuring collective bargaining power, sustainable practices, and knowledge-sharing. This supports small farms in commercializing and meeting the growing global demand for better and more diverse food choices. India is also experiencing an increase in Farmer Producer Originations (FPOs), crucial in enhancing economic opportunities for small and marginal farmers. FPOs provide a host of services to members, like input supply, procurement, marketing, technical services, financial services, etc. The study delves into the existing literature and policy landscape surrounding FPOs and their role in the economic development of small and marginal farmers in India. This study also analyses the problems and obstacles concerning the growth of FPOs and provides a future direction. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with leaders of the FPOs to understand the background, issues, future goals and member expectations. The results suggest that lack of working capital, poor management, absence of skilled professionals, and dependency on external agencies are the significant problems FPOs face; there is also a need for proactive government support. There needs to be more literature concerning the auxiliary services of FPOs. As the Indian government plans to add ten thousand FPOs in the next few years, the government needs to address the issues regarding lack of working capital, develop a comprehensive database of FPOs, establish performance metrics and determinants, provide management skill assistance, streamline licensing procedures, and foster social capital building initiatives. This research sheds light on the potential of FPOs to empower small and marginal farmers and suggests vital measures for the effective implementation and sustainable growth of these organizations.

The need for shelter is one of the fundamental aspects of daily life for humans. A house serves not only as a place to seek protection and rest but also as a venue for socializing with family. One of the factors influencing the decision in choosing a house is its price. House prices vary in each region, depending on factors such as location and other attributes. In major cities like Bandung, house prices differ based on their categories. However, many people still find it challenging to determine the value and discern whether a house is classified as affordable or expensive. Hence, there is a need for a clustering process of house prices in Bandung to aid in comprehending and categorizing house prices based on attributes such as the house price, total building area, and total land area. To understand and analyze the patterns of house prices in Bandung, this study utilizes the K-Means method to cluster the house price data into several groups based on their similarity in attributes. Additionally, the research aims to determine the optimal number of clusters through the cluster validation process using the silhouette index. The findings show that when using n_cluster=2, a silhouette score of 0.8870 is obtained, and with n_cluster=3, the silhouette score is 0.8009. These results indicate that clustering with n_cluster=2 and n_cluster=3 both exhibit strong interpretative structures. Thus, the clustering of house prices in Bandung can be effectively grouped into 2 clusters, as evidenced by the higher silhouette score obtained with n_cluster=2, approaching 1 compared to n_cluster=3.
Sistem Informasi Penerimaan Siswa Baru Berbasis Android dengan Push Notifikasi di SMK PGRI 1 Palembang
Authors: Dopri  , Ghazali K.
Published: March 2024

SMK PGRI 1 Palembang annually holds PSB activities where currently prospective new students can register by coming directly to the information section, filling out the Google Forms form, or contacting the WA PSB officer. These three registration methods have several drawbacks such as additional expenses for ATK and transportation, as well as a limited registration time. In addition, officers must re-enter data from new prospective students with the existing desktop system because the database has not yet been integrated and new prospective students need to be contacted one by one if there are changes such as changes to the briefing schedule. This resulted in PSB activities at SMK PGRI 1 PALEMBANG being less efficient, tiring, and slow. The proposed solution to the problem is to create an Android-based PSB application with push notifications and integrated with the current MSYQL database. Push notifications allow direct notifications to be sent to certain parties if an event occurs such as a new registration or registration being responded to by the admin. This means that new registrations can be immediately recognized and responded to by the admin.

Особливу увагу звернено на стан оборонно-промислового комплексу нашої держави в умовах війни росії проти України.
В контексті відновлення економіки країни у повоєнний час слід зосередитись на ролі оборонно-промислового комплексу в кейнсіанській моделі стимулювання сукупного попиту, аби подолати кризові явища. Доведено: ОПК є одним із найбільших роботодавців України, оскільки здатен за державної підтримки забезпечити платоспроможний сукупний попит та велику кількість робочих місць, позитивно вплинувши на стан зайнятості населення, і стане рушійною силою виходу повоєнної економіки з кризи, що зміцнить не тільки економічний потенціал країни, а й позиції держави на світовому ринку. Становлення потужного оборонно-промислового комплексу дозволить владі забезпечити гарантії національної безпеки й оборони, що постає чинником сталого економічного розвитку. Дослідники презенують шляхи розвитку оборонно-промислового комплексу з огляду на поступ наукомістких технологій, які можуть застосовуватись і в цивільних галузях та із залученням приватного капіталу. Це має забезпечити мультиплікативний ефект на збільшення обсягів валового внутрішнього продукту завдяки зростанню заробітних плат і сум податків, що сплачуватимуть оборонні підприємства.
