When in the Islamic Boarding School, students are expected to have good self-adjustment skills. However, there are still many students who have not mastered it. This causes frequent interpersonal conflicts between students that can interfere with the learning process and activities in the pesantren. Therefore, forgiveness is one of the steps that can be taken to overcome this problem. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of Islamic religiosity and friendship quality as determinants of forgiveness of Islamic boarding school students. This study is a quantitative study with a sample of all male and female students at the boarding school totaling 138. Data collection used the Islamic religiosity scale (RIS), friendship quality scale (FQQ), and forgiveness scale (TRIM-18). Data analysis techniques using multiple linear regression with the help of the SPSS version 25.00 for Windows program. The results showed a significant positive influence between Islamic religiosity and friendship quality on the forgiveness of Islamic boarding school students as indicated by the value of F = 23.721, the probability value sig (p) 0.000 (p < 0.050), and the coefficient of determination 0.260. This shows that Islamic religiosity and friendship quality have an influence of 26% on forgiveness. For future research, it is recommended to expand the scope of research by considering additional variables that can affect the forgiveness of Islamic boarding school students. For example, research can explore the role of factors such as personality, family parenting patterns, or other social experiences in shaping the level of forgiveness. In addition, research can be conducted with a larger and more representative sample, as well as using more in-depth research methods such as longitudinal studies or qualitative studies to understand more deeply the mechanism of the influence of Islamic religiosity and friendship quality on forgiveness.

Authors:   Pamulang University, S.S. M. Sas Dr. Yunita,
Published: May 2024

In Indonesia, which is still considered a conservative country, feminism as a gender-based emancipatory movement has become an understanding that tends to be covered by the glitter of patriarchism. Resistance to feminist thought is quite massive because the majority of people consider it to be a Western epistemology that is not in harmony with Eastern cultural values. One of the main causes of gender inequality is society's lack of understanding of the differences in definitions between sex and gender. The majority still view these two terms as merely linguistic synonyms, even though conceptually they have significant differences. In an intimate academic environment with a tradition of thinking, the phenomenon of toxic masculinity is quite widely recognized by students. Like several students at Pamulang University, South Tangerang who feel they are victims of systemic toxic masculinity. In the initial research observations, the results of interviews showed that the phenomena of gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity experienced by Pamulang University students included several things, namely regarding individual aspects such as role, character, physique and sexual orientation.

Accidents, being unforeseeable events, can result in serious consequences, particularly when immediate medical attention is necessary. To address this issue, we propose the development of an Accident Prediction and Emergency Response System (APERS) that utilizes mobile accelerometer sensors. The APERS comprises two key components: a mobile application installed on users' smartphones and a web-based application for hospitals. The mobile application enables users to input and update their personal information and medical records, which are securely encrypted and stored. Moreover, the application continuously monitors accelerometer sensor data in real-time. Upon detecting a sudden spike in accelerometer readings indicative of an accident, the user's encrypted data and medical records are automatically transmitted to the hospital-side web application. On the hospital side, the web-based application receives and decrypts the user data, granting medical professionals access to vital information even if the user is unconscious. This facilitates timely and well-informed medical interventions, potentially saving lives. The system operates seamlessly, providing a robust solution for accident prediction and emergency response. The APERS offers numerous benefits, including proactive accident prediction, automated data sharing, and swift medical response. By leveraging mobile technology and accelerometer sensors, it addresses the pressing need for efficient emergency services in accident scenarios. Looking ahead, users could potentially share data while crossing the reception, further enhancing the system's effectiveness.

Traditional methods of taking attendance are often time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to inefficiencies in academic administration. The Classroom Skipper Recognition System (this project) is an innovative solution designed to streamline attendance management in educational institutions. This project addresses these challenges by harnessing the power of facial recognition technology coupled with advanced algorithms. Initially, this project builds a comprehensive database of students' facial data, where each student's face is captured and stored. This data is then used to train a robust face recognition model, ensuring high accuracy in identifying individuals. During class sessions, instructors input the current time, triggering the system to initiate attendance tracking. Using real-time facial detection, this project analyzes the faces present in the classroom and matches them against the stored database. Students who are recognized as present are marked as such in the attendance records. Moreover, the system periodically reassesses attendance by comparing the current session's detected students with historical data. A key feature of this project is its ability to detect class skippers—students who were present in previous sessions but are absent without valid reasons in the current session

Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups. Eye-gaze transfer (e-tran) boards, a low-tech alternative, are challenging to master and offer slow communication rates. To mitigate the drawbacks of these two status quo approaches, we created Gaze Speak, an eye gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable, and easy-to-learn, with a higher communication bandwidth than an e-tran board. Gaze Speak can interpret eye gestures in real time, decode these gestures into predicted utterances, and facilitate communication, with different user interfaces for speakers and interpreters. Our evaluations demonstrate that GazeSpeak is robust, has good user satisfaction, and provides a speed improvement with respect to an e-tran board; we also identify avenues for further improvement to low-cost, low-effort gaze-based communication technologies.

The need for an intelligent recognition system is still increasing. Traditional approaches based on access to restricted places like ATM or suspected actions as theft, scam, and loitering. They are insufficient to identify suspects. These actions do not represent a real key of suspects. This project is motivated not only by the limits of the traditional approaches but also by the complexity of Intelligent Algorithms (RNN). In this project, we propose an approach for the automatic comparative labeling of facial soft biometric. The three main categories wanted persons, regular customers, and new persons serve distinct purposes. For wanted people recognition, the system is trained to identify individuals with outstanding or flagged in law enforcement databases. Regular ATM customers are recognized based on their registered facial features. New persons, on the other hand, are those not previously registered, and the system is designed to capture their facial data for future reference. Using a subset from the RNN-network datasets, recurrent neural network our experiments show the efficacy of the automatic generation of comparative facial labels, highlighting the potential extensibility of the approach to other face recognition scenarios and larger ranges of attributes. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) system can be implement on CCTV cameras and it will be alerted particular officers. The application is easy to use and it is equipped with pyttsx3 so that the face detected is communicated to the people as voice alert.

Published: May 2024

This paper broadens the scope of research on social capital theory by offering new perspectives and empirical evidence on reducing objective poverty. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of social capital on poverty reduction among members of financial cooperatives in both urban and rural areas of the Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia. Kothari's formula was employed, followed by multi-stage stratified, proportional, and random sampling. Primary data was collected from 348 sample members through a structured questionnaire, focus group discussions, and personal interviews. Additionally, data was analyzed using multiple linear regression and logistic regression models. The study reveals important insights into the relationship between social capital and poverty reduction among members. Structural and relational social capital, family labor, physical capital, and access to credit have a positive and significant impact on poverty reduction. On the other hand, the lack of cognitive social capital, which refers to the lack of awareness regarding the common mission, goals, and shared values of financial cooperatives, has a negative and significant impact on poverty reduction. Furthermore, family size, marital status, and individual health conditions also negatively and significantly affect poverty reduction. The study emphasizes the significance of social capital in influencing poverty reduction among members in the study area. Policymakers can design targeted interventions to effectively combat poverty by recognizing the impact of different dimensions of social capital, as well as family labor and physical capital. Strengthening social capital within financial cooperatives and promoting collaboration with financial institutions are essential steps towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of poverty alleviation in the region.

The ITLOS Advisory Opinion and Marine Geoengineering
Authors: Webb Romany M.
Published: May 2024

The ITLOS advisory opinion does little to resolve the long-standing uncertainty regarding the legal status of marine geoengineering activities. On the contrary, the opinion raises more questions than it answers. ITLOS seems content to leave those questions to others. Indeed, in the advisory opinion, ITLOS noted that “marine geoengineering has been the subject of discussions and regulations in various fora,” including the London Convention and Protocol. But after nearly twenty years, the regulatory framework for marine geoengineering adopted by the parties to the London Convention and Protocol is still not, strictly speaking, legally binding. Perhaps the advisory opinion will spur the parties into action.
