Authors: Arnellis Arnellis , Syarifuddin Hendra , Ismail Rafki Nasuha
Published: July 2023

In the present digital age, the utilization of e-learning platforms in education is becoming increasingly significant. This is especially true in the field of Mathematics Education, where there exists a challenge to enhance students' critical and creative thinking abilities. This research aimed to investigate the improvement in students' critical and creative mathematical thinking abilities through the implementation of a team project-based model, Flip-a-Team, within UNP's e-learning platform. A quasi-experimental research design was used, applying a post-test control group approach. The sample involved 64 students from a mathematics study program who were enrolled in the July - December 2022 semester. These students were divided into two groups: 32 students in the experimental group (Class A) that was instructed through the Flip-a-team model, and 32 students in the control group (Class B) that experienced problem-based learning. Based on an independent t-test, the results demonstrated that the mathematical learning process incorporating the Flip-a-Team model had a positive and significant impact on the students' critical and creative mathematical thinking abilities. The Flip-a-Team model is recommended for implementation in mathematics instruction. The UNP e-learning platform could serve as a feasible solution for digitally based mathematics education, particularly in fostering students' critical and creative thinking abilities in mathematics.

Authors: Tamah Siti , Teopilus Susana
Published: July 2023

Many studies highlight online instructional issues in an ordinary situation; however, this article is oriented to a very restricted online course in an extraordinary condition – the COVID-19 pandemic realm. The objectives of this article are (1) to portray how Writing-A lecturers within such a short time preparation conducted the online courses to achieve the course objectives, and (2) to depict how Writing-A students perceived the implementation of this online course. The study is based on a half-semester small-scale study project employing institution documents and surveys. The subjects were 43 students in an institution in Indonesia. The results demonstrate the Teaching Presence which was the new challenge faced by the lecturers and the Cognitive and Social presence which occurred in the students’ new online learning. The significance of this study is the disclosure of how the encouragement of communities might contribute to conducive learning for both e-lecturers and e-students.
Can D-dimer predict length of hospital stay in COVID-19 survivors? A cross-sectional study
Authors: Wijayanto Matthew Aldo , Myrtha Risalina , Rahayu Dwi , Lukas Graciella Angelica
Published: July 2023

Background: COVID-19 has been shown to increase the risk of thrombosis, where this mechanism occurs due to cell damage that triggers the release of various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, thereby activating the coagulation cascade. Thus, an increase D-dimer levels in COVID-19 patients occurs. The duration of patients' hospitalization, known as Length of Hospital Stay (LOS), plays a crucial role in enhancing patient care, reducing overall costs, and optimizing resource allocation.
Purpose: The main objective of this study is to determine the correlation between D-dimer and various other factors to assess its predictive value for LOS) in COVID-19 survivors.
Methods: This observational analytic study included COVID-19 patients who were admitted to Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital in Sukoharjo, Indonesia, from November 2020 to January 2021. The data was taken from the medical records of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Age, gender, comorbidities, admission oxygen saturation, D-dimer, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), haemoglobin, platelet count, white blood cells (WBC), LOS and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were analysed in this study. Binary logistic regression was applied to determine the correlation between potential predictors on LOS.
Results: A total 104 patients were included in the final analysis. The median LOS was 13 days (IQR 9-17 days). There was an increase of D-dimer in 79 patients with the median 759.39 ng/ml. Patients with prolonged LOS tend to have higher D-dimer levels (Median 924.95 vs 591.54 ng/ml, p = 0.018). However, D-dimer and other parameters was not associated with prolonged LOS in COVID-19 survivors (D-dimer p = 0.188; Age p = 0.138; Diabetes mellitus p = 0.172; NLR p = 0.859; Platelet count p = 0.097).
Conclusions: D-dimer levels does not accurately predict prolonged LOS in COVID-19 survivors. Therefore, we suggest D-dimer solely should not be used as a tool to predict patient’s LOS.

Authors: Yıldız Gizem , Kılıç Çakmak Ebru
Published: July 2023

The study aims to reveal the existing situation, deficiencies, and results of the applications in the online assessment process and to bring suggestions to researchers and practitioners. For this purpose, the studies on the applications carried out in the online assessment process were examined and analyzed and suggestions were made according to the results. The systematic literature review method was used in the study. The results were analyzed by reviewing the research in the literature with the research topic. The studies were brought together by examining the full texts of the studies included in the analysis, the applications used in the assessment process, and their results. The purpose of the study, the assessment process, and the results of the applications made in this process were examined in detail. These studies were then classified according to focus topics using NVivo 12 software. In addition, the research findings were included by using descriptive analysis. As a result, studies on online assessment are generally about the obstacles and experiences encountered in the assessment process. The technical infrastructure problems, accessibility, and technology literacy problems encountered in these studies are the default elements of online learning environments and must be resolved. By overcoming these problems completely, an in-depth examination of exam security and exam quality can be made. In addition, the negativities experienced in the assessment processes in applied fields are another problem encountered and it is a subject open to research.

Published: July 2023

Thе current study goal was to compare the results from the histopathological and immunohistochemical findings in dogs that have previously been clinically diagnosed with parvovirus infection. The Canine parvovirus enteritis (PVE) is a highly contagious disease mostly affecting dogs below six months of age. The canine parvovirus (CPV) belongs to the parvoviridae family within the feline parvovirus sub group of the genus Parvovirus. This investigation was performed on twenty dogs 2 to 12 months old with previous clinical diagnosis for PVE, and it included necropsy, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. The necropsy findings included severe hemorrhagic enteritis and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes as most frequent and prominent changes. The histopathological changes were also most significant in these organs in the form of villus atrophy and lymphoid depletion, respectively. These areas revealed the highest expression of CPV antigen. The histopathological and immunohistochemical methods provide strong base for a reliable CPV diagnosis.
The role of genetic testing in the prognosis and management of solid tumors. A literature review
Authors: Radoi Viorica-Elena , Pop Lucian-Gheorghe , Maioru Ovidiu-Virgil I. , Sabau Delia , Dan Andra , Riza Maria , Bohiltea Laurentiu-Camil
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Cancer is the leading cause of death and an important impediment to increasing life expectancy in every country of the world. During the process of oncogenesis, genetic and epigenetic changes lead to abnormal expression of genes associated with cellular pathways that coordinate extremely important functions such as cell multiplication, cell differentiation, cell death, and cell cycle.

Methods: There are over 200 approved biomarker-driven drugs for various types of cancer. Valuable biomarkers are analyzed to establish their importance in specific therapies. Precision medicine for oncological patients has been recognized as a valuable approach to solid tumors.

Results: Various genes and their mutations either have a direct pathogenic effect or can give hints to a certain prognosis regarding the oncological pathology. A comprehensive genetic test for a broad molecular profile and complete characterization of tumor genetic heterogenicity should contain genes that are aligned with professional practice, guidelines and clinical trials, full coding region coverage for each gene and targeting of unique emerging and actionable markers. It is useful to use such a comprehensive test when a broad genomic profile identifies treatment options including immunotherapies and targeted drugs for patient enrollment or when relapse or disease progression has occurred after prior therapies.

Conclusions: For patients with solid tumors, personalized medicine has been recognized as a successful strategy treatment, but it is not sufficient to seize cancer growth and progression up to a single molecular alteration due to specific hallmarks such as tumor heterogeneity, clonal evolution, and independent resistance mechanisms. Earlier studies have evaluated the effectiveness of using multigene panel screening methods for personalized cancer therapy, with controversial results. Future research in the field of circulating tumor DNA analysis might be the key to overcoming some of these limitations. The liquid biopsy could enable dynamic molecular profiling of all patients diagnosed with solid tumors enhancing accuracy, prognosis, and management

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are responsible for approximately 17.9 millions of deaths every year, with a higher impact on low and middle-income populations. Despite traditional risk factors, asymptomatic individuals with atherosclerosis have been identified, and new biomarkers are being sought to better predict CVD risk. This study aims to investigate the relationship between platelets indices and biochemical variability in the first day after patient admission in the hospital.

Methods: A pilot study was conducted to analyze 73 medical records of patients who experienced acute myocardial infarction, to analyze the association among mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet count (PC), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), creatine phosphokinase-MB (CKMB) and ultra-sensitive cardiac troponin I (TnI-us) between the first and second sampling (1-hour intervals), to investigate acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Results and conclusion: The biochemical analysis showed no significant difference in CPK CK MB, TnI-us, MPV and PC levels between the first and second samples. A negative correlation between PC and MPV and a moderate negative correlation between PC and CPK were found in our AMI patients within 24 hours of hospital admission.
Markt, Umwelt und Wirtschaftswachstum – ein Trilemma?
Authors: Holtemöller Oliver
Published: July 2023

Does a market economy work without economic growth? Is long-term economic growth compatible with finite resources and environmental protection? Do market economy and environmental protection go together? The answer to these questions depends very much on what one means by each of the buzzwords: market, environment and economic growth. Properly understood, the three elements fit together very well and there is no reason to play one off against another.
Wachstum oder Schrumpfung? Eine Frage der Entkopplung
Authors: Petersen Thieß
Published: July 2023

Is Germany‘s real GDP still allowed to grow in the coming years if the country wants to be climate neutral by 2045, or will the economy have to shrink? This question is a controversial issue in science and politics. However, this macroeconomic indicator is not the variable on which economic policy should be focused. Decisive for the question of whether climate neutrality is compatible with economic growth is the emissions intensity of the economy – and thus the extent to which it is possible to decouple the level of greenhouse gas emissions from the level of economic activity. The goal of economic policy should be to reduce emissions intensity sufficiently so that GDP does not have to shrink in order to become climate neutral by 2045.

Authors: Demary Vera , Schaefer Thilo
Published: July 2023

Germany’s growth and prosperity face multiple challenges from climate change and demographic shifts. Active policy measures and digitalisation have the potential to alleviate these problems and promote climate-friendly innovations. However, the transformation requires significant investments and infrastructure development. Unclear framework conditions and a lack of skilled IT experts hinder progress. To achieve digital green growth, Germany needs a mix of technological innovations, robust infrastructure and regulatory support. Making these challenges a high political priority will enable sustainable growth and prosperity in the face of the ongoing structural transformation.
Kommunale Investitionen sinken real seit COVID
Authors: Lerbs Oliver
Published: July 2023

Until the pandemic, the level of real investments made by municipalities was noticeably on the upswing. Three years after the outbreak of the pandemic and one year after the start of the Ukraine war, the question arises as to how municipal investment activity has developed in the wake of both crises. In nominal terms, investment expenditure continues to grow, but appearances are deceptive: in price-adjusted terms, noticeably less is being invested today than in 2020. At the same time, the structure of investment activity has changed.
Die kalte Progression in Österreich
Authors: Kucsera Dénes , Lorenz Hanno , Reitschuler Gerhard
Published: July 2023

In Austria, bracket creep has so far only been partially returned to the taxpayer within periodic tax reforms. As of 2022, the federal government has decided to fully compensate for the bracket creep, albeit not automatically for every taxpayer, but within the framework of compensation differentiated by income tax brackets with a discretionary component accounting for around one-third of the annual bracket creep burden. A full adjustment along the lines of the Swiss model would have been desirable. If lower income tax brackets continue to be adjusted stronger like upper income tax brackets in upcoming years, full-time employment will be further discouraged.

The inscidence of recurrence in KD is highest in the first two years after the first diagnosis, being more frequent in male patients aged two years or less. Cardiac complications are more frequent in the recurrence of KD, and death can occur from coronary thrombosis or rupture of coronary aneurysm.
Admiral Jellicoe Goes to Sea: The Naval Mission and the Ambition for an “Imperial Royal Navy”
Authors: Yeates Ian
Published: July 2023

An important milestone in the development of the dominion navies was the Empire Cruise conducted by Admiral Sir John Jellicoe in 1919, during which he visited India, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. At the conclusion of each stage of his trip, Jellicoe prepared a report for the dominion government concerned explaining how it might establish an effective local navy that could support the Royal Navy in the defense of the empire. Although Jellicoe’s advice was not immediately followed due to financial exigencies and war weariness, the principles he expounded provided the foundations for the highly effective dominion navies in the later years of the Second World War and beyond. While the historiography has largely dismissed the value of the Empire Cruise, this article offers a reappraisal. La croisière de l’empire menée en 1919 par l’amiral Sir John Jellicoe, au cours de laquelle il a visité l’Inde, l’Australie, la Nouvelle-Zélande et le Canada, a marqué une étape importante dans le développement des marines nationales. À la fin de chaque étape de son voyage, Jellicoe préparait un rapport pour le gouvernement fédéral concerné dans lequel il expliquait comment ce gouvernement pouvait établir une marine locale efficace qui pourrait appuyer la Marine royale dans la défense de l’empire. Bien que les conseils de Jellicoe n’aient pas été immédiatement suivis en raison des exigences financières et de lassitude de la guerre, les principes qu’il a énoncés ont jeté les bases des marines fédérales très efficaces des dernières années de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et par la suite. Alors que l’historiographie a largement rejeté la valeur de la croisière de l’empire, cet article constitue une réévaluation.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has no expectation of cure, therefore, the treatment is based on maintaining the chronic state of the disease, through renal replacement therapies, such as hemodialysis or kidney transplant. The CKD can compromise occupational performance, since the beginning of hemodialysis, adaptation to new life habits is required.   OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of bright light on occupational performance of elderly people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis in the state of Ceará, aiming at its impact on the quality of life of these patients. METHOD: Randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with and qualitative-quantitative approach, with the use of bright light or placebo light in their homes for 30 minutes, for 4 weeks in the afternoon. From this perspective, the evaluation instruments were used before and after the light: The Dynamic Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment – for Geriatric Population (DLOTCA-G) adapted version for the Portuguese language. The sample consisted of 26 elderly people on dialysis, and the collection period comprised the months of August 2022 to May 2023. RESULTS: They were 69% (18/26) male and between 60 and 94 years old. The analysis of the impacts of such equipment on these individuals' memory, mental operations and visual-motor skills revealed that the bright light group had better results than the placebo group (linear regression, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Bright light exposure therapy proved to be very beneficial, especially for the memory and mediation of these elderly people, thus reflecting on the improvement of their quality of life.

Marriages between Thais and Westerners have become more frequent in Thailand, which could have significant social and economic implications for the country. However, we currently lack information on the exact number of Thai-Western couples and their demographic characteristics. To address this, we conducted a study using Thailand’s 2010 Population Census to explore the scale of Thai-Western partnerships and identify some basic demographic traits of these marriages. Our findings revealed that in 2010, Thai-Western couples made up less than 1% of all married couples. Additionally, more male Westerners partnered with Thai individuals than female Westerners with Thai partners. The nationalities that predominantly formed partnerships with Thais were British, American, and German, comprising more than half of all Westerners in such unions. We also observed that approximately one-third of Westerners in these partnerships were 60 or older, indicating a significant age difference between Western men and their Thai counterparts. Furthermore, most Thai-Westerner couples reside in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand.

Metáfora, lujo y aderezo en la corte de los Reyes Católicos: los animales en las joyas de Isabel I de Castilla /
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), Gómez-Chacón Diana Lucía
Published: July 2023

The present work analyses the representations of animals that decorated the jewels of Queen Isabella I of Castile. Although we have not preserved the pieces, the documentation that has come down to us –chronicles, testamentary, auction, inventories, and accounts– allows us to know not only the cost of these, but also their manufacture and materiality. On some occasions, the jewels’ design gives us information about the superstitions and devotions of either the queen or their previous owners. On other occasions, these pieces seem to have been conceived as part of the royal ceremonial and scenery, echoing metaphorical resources present in the literature of the time, based on royal animal mimicry. However, this does not mean that all the animal motifs that decorated the queen’s jewels were designed for propaganda or speculative purposes. Some of these would have been simply ornamental and luxurious pieces, for personal decoration, whose symbolic charge would reside in their own sumptuousness.
Caballos, hacaneas y jaeces: la distinción de una montura de prestigio en los Hechos del condestable don Miguel Lucas y otras fuentes de la Castilla Medieval
Authors:   Université Bordeaux Montaigne (Francia), Roumier Julia
Published: July 2023

The horse is a statutory element, a powerful social marker, a tool of prestige, a trend that was reinforced from the 14th century onwards. We propose to study the staging of luxurious horses in situations of pomp, particularly in late medieval Castilian noble festivities. Focusing on the chronicle, Los Hechos of the Constable Miguel Lucas, we will see the importance of the horse in the culture of the nobility through the practice of equestrian gifts, the ostentatious consumption to which all the equipment and adornment of the horse gives rise, the effort to compose a harmonious picture between the rider and his mount. Finally, we will see how this staging of equestrian nobility gives a particular importance to the ambler horses and the ambling step.
La iconografía porcina desde la prehistoria hasta la Plena Edad Media
Authors:   Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (España), Salgado Pantoja José Arturo
Published: July 2023

Pigs and humans were linked before this animal developed its domestic characteristics. In its wild boar form, it was hunted, respected, and even admired by various prehistoric, protohistoric, and ancient societies and civilizations, and its image was used as a magical artefact, a prestigious ornament, a sacred symbol, or a funerary emblem. Quite different was the case with the common pig, which was gastronomically exalted and repudiated, but whose representation went almost unnoticed until the High Middle Ages. It was from this period onwards that both subspecies coexisted in art in a more obvious way, thanks to their iconographic characterization in treatises on venison, agricultural calendars, and heraldry.

Many of the private dwellings and urban buildings in the city of Oviedo at the end of the Middle Ages, in the hands of the cathedral chapter, were in a very defective situation, not to say ruinous, as was the case with some public buildings, abandoned to their fate despite being symbols of the royal city, such as the Cimadevilla Tower. In this study we aim to show the most significant aspects of Oviedo’s buildings to understand how the public authorities and urban elites tackled the construction problem and tried to solve the structural decay of their urban buildings.
Towards Global Citizenship Education: Implications for the South African Higher Education Accounting System
Authors: Pullen Elton , Waghid Yusef
Published: July 2023

This article builds on prior calls to liberalise accounting education both globally and within a South African context, where the accounting curricula tend to have a technical and vocational bias. The authors specifically focus on the chartered accountancy (CA) education landscape in the country, where they call for the adoption of global citizenship education (GCE) within the CA education curricula. The authors’ contention is that if notions of GCE manifest within the CA education landscape, they increase students’ chances to become liberated and empowered. Additionally, they argue that adopting notions of GCE within the CA education pedagogy is vital to the development of citizenship competencies and relational acumen as outlined by the new CA2025 competency framework drawn up by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA). Finally, the authors contend that there are significant challenges to implementing GCE within the current CA education context, but they contend that these challenges do not minimise the urgent imperative for CA education to produce chartered accountants (CAs) who are both technically astute, as well as socially and ethically aware, within a global context.
Spinal Manipulative Therapy for Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Does Targeting a Specific Vertebral Level Make a Difference?: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis
Authors: Sørensen Peter Westlund , Nim Casper Glissmann , Poulsen Erik , Juhl Carsten Bogh
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine whether targeting spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), by applying the intervention to a specific vertebral level, produces superior clinical outcomes than a nontargeted approach in patients with nonspecific low back pain.

DESIGN: Systematic review with meta-analysis.

LITERATURE SEARCH: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Scopus, PEDro, and Index to Chiropractic Literature were searched up to May 31, 2023.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials comparing targeted SMT (mobilization or manipulation) to a nontargeted approach in patients with nonspecific low back pain, and measuring the effects on pain intensity and patient-reported disability.

DATA SYNTHESIS: Data extraction, risk of bias, and evaluation of the overall certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach were performed by 2 authors independently. Meta-analyses were performed using the restricted maximum likelihood method.

RESULTS: Ten randomized controlled trials (n = 931 patients) were included. There was moderate-certainty evidence of no difference between targeted SMT and a nontargeted approach for pain intensity at postintervention (weighted mean difference = −0.20 [95% CI: −0.51, 0.10]) and at follow-up (weighted mean difference = 0.05 [95% CI: −0.26, 0.36]). For patient-reported disability, there was moderate-certainty evidence of no difference at postintervention (standardized mean difference = −0.04 [95% CI: −0.36, 0.29]) and at follow-up (standardized mean difference = −0.05 [95% CI: −0.24, 0.13]). Adverse events were reported in 4 trials, and were minor and evenly distributed between groups.

CONCLUSION: Targeting a specific vertebral level when administering SMT for patients with nonspecific low back pain did not result in improved outcomes on pain intensity and patient-reported disability compared to a nontargeted approach.

Published: July 2023

Background:

Traumatic pseudoaneurysms are rare but have a high mortality rate; therefore, immediate diagnosis is vital. Most pseudoaneurysms are in the internal carotid artery or peripheral arteries, while proximal middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysms have rarely been reported. We present a case of ruptured traumatic pseudoaneurysm located at the M1-M2 bifurcation.

Case Description:

A 42-year-old man was injured in a motorcycle accident and his Glasgow coma scale score on admission was 7 (Eye opening1, Verbal response2, Motor response4 [E1V2M4]). Head computed tomography (CT) showed thick subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We suspected a ruptured aneurysm, but three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) did not detect any vascular defects. Head magnetic resonance angiography showed progressive right M1 stenosis suggesting arterial dissection. 3D-CTA on day 20 showed a small aneurysm in the proximal portion of the M2. Although surgery was scheduled for day 26, suddenly left hemiparesis appeared on day 24. Head CT detected fresh SAH and emergency surgery was performed on day 25. We dissected around the ruptured point under M1 temporary occlusion with superficial temporal artery-M2 assist bypass. Contrary to our expectations, there was only a small laceration in the right M2 superior trunk. We trapped the laceration and the proximal portion of the M2 superior trunk while preserving antegrade blood flow from the M1 to the M2 inferior trunk. On the 5-month follow-up, the patient was able to walk independently.

Conclusion:

Unreasonably thick traumatic SAH or spastic stenosis after head injury may indicate a traumatic pseudoaneurysm and require repeated neurovascular evaluation. If a pseudoaneurysm is detected, immediate surgical intervention is mandatory.

Background:

Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that originates from a B cell in the thymus. It usually affects young female.

Case description:

A 30-year-old woman presented with mediastinal mass with history of shortness of breath and chest pain. blood analysis showed low levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume and high red cell distribution width. A computed tomography (CT)-guided mediastinal core biopsy disclosed primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBL) with a nongerminal center phenotype and lung tissue infiltrate. Moreover, after undergoing six cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy and mediastinal radiotherapy, the patient presented with headache and visual disturbance due to multiple supratentorial lesions.

Conclusion:

Till date, only a few cases of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis have been reported in the literature. Moreover, CNS metastasis of refractory PMBCL is an uncommon event with a poor prognosis. Brain metastases are often the ultimate fatal consequence of many aggressive cancers, so early detection and treatment are important.

Classification technique on remote sensing images is an effort taken to identify the class of each pixel based on the spectral characteristics of various channels. Traditional classifications such as Maximum Likelihood are based on statistical parameters such as standard deviation and mean, which have a probability model of each pixel in each class. While the object-based classification method, one of which is the Decision Trees, is based on rules for each class with mathematical functions. This study compares the Decision Trees and Maximum Likelihood algorithms for land cover classification in the Surabaya and Bangkalan areas using Landsat 8 data. This research begins with creating Regions of Interest (ROIs) and Rules on images with greater than and less than functions for Decision Trees. The ROIs test was carried out using the Separability Index and matching each class using the Confusion Matrix. The experimental results show that the accuracy value resulting from the Confusion Matrix calculation is 90.48%, with a Kappa Coefficient Value of 0.87. The Decision Trees method produces land cover nigher to the actual condition than the Maximum Likelihood method. The difference in the class distribution of the two ways is not significant. This study is limited because the validation uses manual interpretation results. Future research is expected to use the large-scale classification results from the relevant agencies to verify the classification results and use field data, larger samples of ROIs, and the use of high-resolution imagery in order to improve the classification results.
