Flora in Indonesia has about 25% of the species of flowering plant species present in the world. Roses are one type of flowering plants and are usually used as an ornamental plant that has a thorny stem. Roses have more than 150 species. In Indonesia there are several flower gardens that is larger than the others. One of the famous flower garden in Indonesia is located on Malang city, East Java. The flower garden in Malang has several varieties of many roses and has a large production of roses. To help the sales system of roses there, the researchers want to create a program that can classify the type of roses in order to help simplify the system of automatic sales of roses without through manual sorting. So that will accelerate the sale of roses with an automated system. Ordinary people with limited botanical knowledge usually don't know how to classify the flowers just by looking at them. To classify the flowers properly, it is important to provide enough information, and one of them is the name of it. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one method of deep learning that can be used for image classification process. The CNN design is motivated by the discovery of the visual mechanism, the visual cortex present in the brain. CNN has been widely used in many real-world applications, such as Face Recognition, Image Classification and Recognition, and Object Detection, because this is one of the most efficient method for extracting important features. In this research, the classification accuracy value obtained from the test data is 96.33% using 2-dimension Red Green Blue (RGB) input image, and the size of each image is 32 × 32 pixels that are trained with CNN algorithm and the network structure of four convolution layers and four layers pooling supported by dropout technique.

A technological development has extremely changes the value of society which is now moving to society 5.0. It is an era in which technology is being a part of human life. Internet is supposed not only to be an information media but also becomes a part of life including in education. Society 5.0 requires students to have the ability to solve complex problems, think critically, and be creative. This ability is needed to adopt the development of science and technology, not only as a "taker" but also as a "maker" through entrepreneurial principles. Therefore, the learning system should move to the concept of science-based entrepreneurship (SciPreneur). However, the current entrepreneurial learning system has not adopted the learning paradigm emphasizing on cognitive understanding because the learning process is still either theoretical-based or rote learning. Therefore, we need an appropriate learning model to accommodate a learning system to meet the society 5.0. In this paper, we introduce a framework on science-based entrepreneurship using the discovery ability-based creative entrepreneurial learning model (CEL-BaDiS UP). This model is expected to enhance a science-based entrepreneurship skill.

Regression analysis is a statistical analysis used to determine the pattern of relationships between predictor variables and response variables. There are two models of estimation approaches in regression analysis, namely parametric regression, and nonparametric regression. The parametric regression approach is used in the shape of the regression curve is known. In cases with unknown relationship patterns, the development is done using nonparametric regression. Nonparametric regression is a model estimation method which is based on an approach that is not bound by certain assumptions of the regression curve shape. Nonparametric regression varies greatly with variable curves that are different between one predictor variable with another predictor variable. In nonparametric regression, there are several types of the recommended kernel, spline, and Fourier series. In many cases, however, these conservative nonparametric regression methods cannot handle more complex problems. Mixture methods by combining several methods such as a mixture of spline and Fourier series, kernel and Fourier series, and so on, give a better result. This study aims to obtain estimates of a mixture of a truncated spline, kernel, and Fourier series by using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method and obtain methods for selecting knots, bandwidth, and optimal oscillation parameters with the smallest GCV. The results of this study are the formulation of a mixed estimation model of the truncated spline, kernel, and Fourier series and the smallest GCV formula to obtain the optimum location and number of points of knots, bandwidth, and oscillations.

We study a scheme of accelerated adiabatic quantum dynamics. This scheme was originally proposed by Masuda-Nakamura. The strategy of combining two opposite idea: infinitely-large timemagnification factor and infinitely-small growth rate of adiabatic parameter was elucidated. We apply the proposed method to two dimensional system with electric field and magnetic field using two dimensional Dirac equation. We settle the quasi-adiabatic dynamics (QAD) by adding the regularization terms to the original vector potential and scalar potential and accelerate it with use of a large time-scaling factor which realizes QAD on shortened time scale. These terms multiplied by the velocity function give the counterdiabatic terms that generate the fast forward potential. The fast forward potential can accelerate the dynamics of the system from iniitial state to the final state with the same condition.

In this paper, we study the Maxwell Klein Gordon system (MKG) with the addition of general gauge couplings on four-dimensional Minkowski space. This system analyzes the interaction of the electromagnetic field (photon) coupled with the complex scalar field (spin-0 particles). This research considers the multi-field interactions by adding general coupling. Our method begins from the Lagrangian of Maxwell Klein Gordon equation with potential turn on. We derive the energy of the system, then write the equation of motion in the form of a non-linear partial differential equation. By using the spherical means method, we express the solutions in an integral form of its curvature. Then, by using temporal gauge condition and conservation of energy, we prove the inequality for some general coupling. The result shows that the first and the second derivative of it bounded by the energy and IL norm. This result will become the main key to proving the global existence of Maxwell Klein-Gordon's theory.

Education plays an important role to build a sustainable development framework. To support the sustainable development framework, many researchers have constructed various methods, learning approaches, and learning models. STEM is one of the most popular learning approaches in the 21st century, although it has some issues such as the curriculum and structure, skills development, career exposure, evaluation, and the interrelationship between humans and nature. This research was aimed to measure pre-service teachers' perspectives on the relationship between the implementation of STEM in education to support Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Nine pre-service teachers from biology education and science education have been interviewed to comprehend the role of STEM in ESD. The result showed that there were different ideas from participants about STEM, ESD, and the advantage of STEM implementation to promote ESD. Further research should be conducted to develop and socialize STEM, specifically based on students' characteristic, behavior, and culture in each country.
