Industry and society utilize groundwater to meet their daily needs. The study area is located in Demak Regency, which is located in the northern part of Java Island. Administratively, Demak Regency covers 14 districts with a total population of up to 1.16 million inhabitants. The utilization of unconfined groundwater is an alternative to meet the needs of the community. The condition of the unconfined aquifer, which is the source of fresh water for the community, must meet the standards for public health. Thus, it needs a fundamental assessment of the condition of the unconfined aquifer in Demak Regency. The evaluation of unconfined aquifer is focused on physical and hydrogeochemical analysis. The method used was a field campaign by measuring the groundwater depth and analyzing 30 groundwater samples for physical and chemical analysis. The results of measurements of pH values in groundwater samples in the study area are between 6.68-7.84. The high pH is in the Districts of Mranggen and Kebonagung. Furthermore, the value of electrical conductivity (EC) is between 678-3,130 µS/cm. The samples that are close to the Java Sea conduct a higher EC value, which is located in the Sayung, Karangengah, Bonang, and Wedung Districts.

The Kaligarang River heading North-South divides the region of Semarang. The Dutch Colonial Government recorded the territory of Semarang on January 19, 1856, shaken by an earthquake on the mainland epicenter with the strength of the V-VI MMI. Fault Kaligarang has a sliding rate of slip (slip rate) of 4.5 mm per year. The value of rock slip rate is relatively very small, but if accumulated over a long period, its value can increase and it will form an earthquake when energy is released. Kaligarang fault is still active and can cause another earthquake. Estimates of active Kaligarang fault are analyzed using different analytical methods by combining 3 methods (magnetic, gravity, and geological). Preliminary studies were conducted using the gravity method used satellite data. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of satellite data to be used as supporting data for preliminary research and also as complementary data. There are similarities in the results of inversion modeling with using GgmPlus data and geological data in the field. This result cannot prove the kaligarang fault because kaligarang fault is a transform fault. The distribution of subsurface mass can prove the existence of faults in the Semarang area but not at all, so that terrestrial data are still needed to obtain a more complete subsurface geological structure. Others method are needed to complete and prove the Kaligarang fault is active.

Merapi is the most active volcano in Central Java and even in Indonesia. Previous research in 1988,1998,2011 by using the gravity method shows an increasing amount of magmas, which are observed from changes in the dimensions of the magma chamber. The aim of this research is to observed the gravity changes nearby summit area after big eruption in 2010. In this research the summit area was close because of the activity of Merapi. The results of further studies in 2019 showed a large anomaly increase of 2 to 5 mGal in the southeast to the southwest. Gravity data in the peak area has not yet been acquired due to the high activity of Merapi. The subsurface interpretation related to changes in the dimensions of the magma reservoir cannot be done, but it can be expected increasing of mass at the southeast of Merapi towards the peak. The increasing amount of mass cause Merapi eruption in 2020.

Coal quality, which eventually controlling coal's behavior during preservation, combustion, and other forms of utilization, are defined by the depositional environment in which the peat was formed. Batu Ayau Formation is a well-known coal-bearing formation of Barito Basin and has been thoroughly explored. The aim of this study, which differs from previous studies, is to figure out the correlation of depositional environment to the coal quality of Batu Ayau Formation and anticipate the less desired coal quality from being mined. The depositional environment is determined through the stratigraphic section compared to Horne model, supported by coal facies determination using Tissue Preservation Index (TPI) vs Gelification Index diagram. Ash and sulphur content (weight %) data from 4 seams are integrated to the lithostratigraphic column. The coal quality distribution is defined from good correlation. The coal-bearing depositional environment of the studied area is transitional – upper delta plain. The ash content is ranging in 5.20-8.64wt% and total sulphur is ranging in 0.34-1.28%. The position of depositional environment that is closer to open marine, which is dipping westward, is preferable in terms of quality. Hence, coal on the center part of the research has preferable coal quality to be mined.

The mangrove ecosystem is one of the ecosystems that are very important for the life of flora, fauna as well as the people around it. The development of mangrove ecosystems into ecotourism is one way to the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems so that have a negative impact on the lives of their creatures. The development of ecotourism needs to be supported by tourist attractiveness as well as learning to tourists to care about their environment in accordance with the principles of ecotourism namely responsible travel to natural areas, conserving the environment and improving the well-being of local people. This paper focuses on the potential attractiveness of ecotourism development in Karawang Regency. The method used in this research is to do calculations using weights and scoring. The results showed that Sukakerta Village has a potential attractive attraction for mangrove ecotourism development in Karawang Regency, while Rawagempol Kulon and Tambaksari Village have an unattractive potential for mangrove ecotourism development and other villages have the attractive potential for mangrove ecotourism development due to inadequate facilities and accessibility.

Capture fisheries are one form of fishery resource utilization by fisher in the waters. With open access, fishers are free to catch fish in the waters. Yogyakarta waters are one of the waters with capture fisheries activities that continue to develop until now, especially on Bantul Regency. Fishers on Depok Beach are the largest and most developed communities in Bantul Regency. Sustainable fisheries resource management is formed in Yogyakarta waters by analyzing fishers' behavior on Depok Beach in fishing activities. Survey methods and participatory mapping were carried out to obtain fisher's characteristics, water conditions, fishing grounds locations, and fish catch variation. Statistical descriptive analysis, map overlays, and correlations are used in this study. The fishing community on Depok Beach is dominated by migrant fisher who come from Cilacap. Fishing activities are still very dependent on water conditions both during high and low seasons. Fishing grounds can be up to 10 miles in the high season, while the low season tends to be closer to land. The type of fish catch varies each month, dominated by demersal fish. Beltfish (Trichiurus lepturus) is a fish caught commodity during high and low seasons. Meanwhile, white pomfret (Pampus argenteus), banana prawn (Penaeus merguiensis), scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homorus) are mostly found in the high season, and mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) in the low season.

Karawang Regency is one of the districts in Indonesia which has the longest coastal area, with a length of 76.42 km and an area of around 1,168.85 km2 of coast. The dominant process that occurs on the coast of Karawang Regency is abrasion and the coastline retreating between 50-300 meters in a direction. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of shoreline changes that occurred in Karawang Regency using multi-time Landsat imagery with a tidal approach. The result Changes in the shoreline were more dynamic during the period 1999 - 2009 with an abrasion area of 8611954m2 and an accretion of 5471645m2. This is because during that period, there were two different types of tides, where in 1999 there was a mixed-semidiurnal (Double Leaning), while in 2009 the tide was mixed-diurnal (Leaning Tunggal). Then for the period 2009 - 2019, there was the same type of tide, namely the mixed-diurnal type tide (Leaning Tunggal), which caused the detected coastline to experience slight changes. Each segment experienced different line changes in each study period due to variations in slope, land cover, and river estuary morphology.

In this paper, we discuss the optical properties of a bilayer ferroelectrics structure comprised of two different types of ferroelectric materials. The interface interaction between these two ferroelectric materials is considered. This interaction requires the entire-cell effective medium treatment where each layer of ferroelectric is sliced into several latticed. Then, by applying Landau-Khalatnikov (LKh) equation of motion in each lattice and solving it simultaneously, the dynamic susceptibility of the bilayer system can be determined. By employing Maxwell equations, we derive the dispersion relation, which can be solved numerically using the root-finding technique. Since here we use two ferroelectric with different resonant frequencies, then the polaritons can also be found around these two frequencies. Hence, there are two leading bulk bands in the dispersion relation. The existence of polarization coupling between two ferroelectrics at the interface generates the narrow additional bulk bands in the dispersion relation. We found that these additional bulk bands are affected by the strength of interface coupling and the number of lattices in each involved layer. We also found that the increase of the thickness of the layers weaken the additional bulk bands.

Currently, antibiotics waste produced by hospitals and pharmacies is increasing, increasing demand and public consumption. Tetracyclines are a popular type of antibiotic that can pollute the environment even in low concentrations. This study aimed to detect tetracyclines in an aqueous environment using C-dots/Ag. C-dots material was synthesized by microwave radiation method with the addition of Ag 0-4 %. C-dots/Ag is produced in the form of a brown-black powder that glows green. FTIR testing shows that C-dots/Ag contains various functional groups O-H, N-H, C-H, C=O, and C=C. The surface morphology of the C-dots based on SEM testing is round and rough. Ag's addition causes C-dots' surface morphology to agglomerate, shifting the C-dots' absorbance peaks towards a larger wavelength and decreasing the energy bandgap. C-dots/Ag 2% has the best optical properties based on the intensity of the resulting fluency. In general, C-dots/Ag has excellent potential to be a susceptible, selective, and effective tetracycline detection agent.

This research aims to analyze the effect of ozone exposure time and lard mixture on the polarization angle of transmission of olive oil. The study uses a transmission polarization method with a laser (λ = 532 nm) as a light source. The research sample in the form of olive oil mixed with lard at a concentration of 10, 20, 40, and 80%, with an ozone exposure time of 0-30 minutes. The sample is subjected to external electric fields with variations from 0-4.5 x 102 kV/m to increase the change's polarization angle. The results showed that the change in polarization angle would change linearly with the increase in lard concentration with olive oil. Olive oil with a low concentration of lard (10%) experienced an increase in the change in polarization angle with a value of 0.31 ° due to the effect of 90 minutes of ozone exposure. In general, the results of the study showed that increased concentrations of lard, ozone exposure time, electric field strengths caused an increase in changes in the polarization angle in a mixture of olive oil and lard.

The importance of cooking oil for human consumption makes cooking oil needs to be aware of its quality. This research aims to design electrooptic devices by making modifications to the analyzer. The results of the ink design are used to test the quality of cooking oil. The method used in this tool is based on the electrooptical properties of cooking oil. Because the optical properties or the polarization angle used as an indicator of the quality of cooking oil is relatively very small, it is necessary to modify the analyzer on the existing electrooptics to avoid parallax errors and increase the effectiveness in measurement. Modifications were made by adding a stepper motor as an actuator, gears that intersect with certain radius ratios, and an ATMega 328P microcontroller for data controller and processing. in the cooking oil quality test, it can be distinguished oil that has expired and is still suitable for consumption based on the average value of the change in the polarization angle.

The problem of the need for clean water is very important. The several diseases triggered by poor water quality reach more than 200 cases each year and cause more than 5 million deaths worldwide. Thus, monitoring water quality becomes important for the availability of safe and clean water. Wireless sensor networks have become a promising alternative to adopted for supplementing the conventional monitoring process. This network allows measurements from the remote location in real-time and with little human intervention. Wireless sensor network topology performance will support the stability of real-time data transmission. The difference in network topology between each router-node station affects the disruption of data distribution. Quality of Services (QoS) measurement is based on wireless sensor connectivity in transmit sensor data from several parameters, including temperature, total dissolved solids, and pH in the node station to the website service. The delay in transmitting data affects the performance of the measurement of the water pollution monitoring system.

Cerium doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO:Ce) nanocrystals were synthesized through precipitation of nitrate solution by employing ultrasound irradiation. The precipitate products were calcinated at various temperature. The calcination temperature is an important key on the formation and properties of nanocrystal. This paper studied influence of calcination temperature on the formation and optical properties of ZnO:Ce nanocrystal. ZnO:Ce nanocrystals were characterized by x-ray diffractometer and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The x-ray diffraction patterns revealed the formation of hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure for ZnO:Ce nanocrystals. The increase in calcination temperature improved crystallinity and reduced the band gap energy of ZnO:Ce. The result showed that the calcination temperature strongly influenced ZnO:Ce nanocrystals formation. The optical properties of ZnO:Ce nanocrystal can be modified by varying calcination temperature.

The electro-optics effect is a potential tool to observe and evaluate different oil quality. In this research, we study relative dissociation energy through the electro-optics effect to evaluate vegetable oil quality. Some vegetable cooking oil samples with different quality were placed in an external potential difference between parallel plates to obtain the electro-optical characteristics by measuring the polarization change using red pointer laser (650 nm). The empirical values of dissociation energy was obtained by fitting experimental data of the average polarization changes per unit potential difference with Lenard-Jones potential formula under the assumption that the interaction between molecules is a Vander Waals interaction. The results show that the average change in polarization is proportional to Lenard-Jones potential energy. An important result showed that a good oil quality is indicated by relatively high dissociation energy. Reducing the oil quality leads to increasing relative dissociation energy. This provides electro-optics as a very potential method in differentiating various cooking oil qualities and new perspective of interacting linear polarized light with oil molecules.

Developing countries such as Indonesia are currently continuously conducting development activities in the economic sector. The role of transportation facilities is very important. The reason is that economic movement is not only centered on one particular area but also reaches out and involves other regions. Distribution of goods and services requires safe and convenient transportation and good road infrastructure. In practice, many heavy vehicles carry a very excessive transport load. This is due to the large distribution needs of goods to minimize operational costs. The negative impacts of overloading include the risk of accidents and road damage. This study aims to use a prototype method by utilizing the implementation of a load control system using a proximity sensor run by Arduino Uno. This concept utilizes proximity sensors to regulate transportation loads according to the standards of the Republic of Indonesia and monitor violations in real-time. The results of the study resulted in a prototype capable of detecting overload based on load height and suspension changes for loads.

This study aims to examine the acceleration of water absorption time in natural silk fabric irradiated with negative and positive corona plasma discharge generation at atmospheric pressure. The point-to-plane electrode configuration is made by one hundred point electrodes, equally distributed, in a 10 x 10 square plane and a plane electrode made of copper. The positive plasma discharge is generated by connecting the point electrodes to a high voltage power supply. In contrast, the negative plasma discharge is generated by connecting the power supply to the plane electrode. During the plasma discharge irradiation, the dyeing natural silk (Bombyx Mori) samples are placed on the plane electrode with varying irradiation duration and electrode spacing. Identification of irradiation effects on the fabrics was made using water drop test and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Increasing the electrode's gap improves the stability of the corona discharge by reducing the discharge current. Moreover, longer irradiation time results in faster water absorption due to a significant interaction between the torn fabrics and water, especially at a broader electrode gap. In conclusion, both positive and negative corona plasma discharges irradiation alters water absorption time, with longer irradiation time results in faster water absorption by samples.

A photovoltaic/thermal solar collector operates efficiently if the surrounding conditions are in a favorable state; where the factors or parameters such as solar radiation, ambient temperature, photovoltaic collector temperature and air mass flow rates are taken into consideration to ensure the performance of the collector achieves optimum level. Dependency on surrounding conditions limited the width of analysis that could be done on the factors affecting the performance of the solar collector. This study aims to generate fuzzy rules for solar collector performance evaluation. Experiments on the performance of a single passage air photovoltaic/thermal solar collector have been carried out, and a set of membership functions representing all significant factors has been generated. Then fuzzy rules of forecasting were developed using a weighted subsethood-based algorithm to predict the efficiency of the photovoltaic/thermal solar collector. In this fuzzy time series application, the concept of fuzzy rule-based systems was embedded to generate fuzzy if-then rules. The results showed that the PV/T solar collector performance with changes in parameters could be predicted based on the fuzzy rules that have been generated, and thus further could be used to determine the optimum factors conditions required to achieve optimum collector performance without having to carry out experiments.

The morphology of the Jabungan Village area has relatively steep land conditions. In lithology, this area has a layer of soil composed of sandstone, claystone, and limestone. Based on direct observations in the field, it was found difficult to obtain clean water that could be used for consumption. The water available and used by the majority of residents is shallow well water, which is not of very good quality. There is only one deep well with a depth of 68 meters but according to residents, the water that is channeled to these houses smells unpleasant and feels oily. To detect the potential of ground water in this area, the geoelectric method is integrated using the microtremor method. Geoelectric measurements were made at 3 location points while microtremor measurements were carried out at 9 location points. Based on geoelectric resistivity and microtremor measurements, it can be concluded that the potential of subsurface water sources is below the JAB3 path or near Point 9 microtremor with soil layers composed of sand layers with resistivity values of 0.43-4.64 ohm-meter at depth > 70 meters with Vs value of 840 m/s with a Poisson's ratio value > 0.3, the more eastward the greater the value.

In Bungkah, Sepakung, Banyubiru there was a landslide several times Monday to Thursday, 17 to 20 October 2017 which occurred due to the high intensity of rain in the region within 2 consecutive days. The landslide material was able to close the road that became access to local residents' settlements. Besides that, in Bungkah, there is a resident's house made of permanent walls that are curved on the wall due to ground movement while the house next to it does not occur. To analyze these phenomena, a single station microtremor method is used, namely the HVSR analysis with amplification values and dominant ground frequency of the curves obtained can be used to determine the peak ground acceleration and seismic vulnerability index which can then be used to analyze ground shear strain value or the ability of the soil layer to stretch and shift when receiving elastic wave propagation. Based on the ground shear strain value, Bungkah has values ranging from 10−3 to 10−1, the phenomenon that will occur is landslides with the dynamic nature of the soil included in the category of soil or rock collapse. Based on the results of frequency and amplitude inversion, the profile of Vs is obtained to the depth that can accurately image the shape of the slip surface from landslide that occurred in October 2017. The sensitivity of Vs to the presence of fluid imaged an accumulation of water below the landslide limit. The mechanism of land movement in the Bungkah hamlet is a rotational slide avalanche type. The movement of the soil which causes the curvature of the walls of one of the permanent houses in Bungkah due to the existence of a vertical soil layer with very low Vs which is directly bordered by massive Vs. The boundary of this layer may be cavity or cavity. The existence of a massive layer in the east of the area makes no continuity of soil movement to the east.

Jetak Sub-Village, Getasan Sub-District, Semarang Regency, was an area that had found difficulty in getting clean water because it was not located in the groundwater basin area. The correlation between the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) and the Resistivity method could be used to determine the estimation of the aquifer's presence. Based on the interpretation of the correlation results of the HVSR model using the Vp/Vs ratio against the rock resistivity value showed the presence of shallow aquifers at a depth of between 20-50 m below the earth's surface in the sandstone layer. Sandstone based on HVSR at a location that has a Vp/Vs ratio of 1.8-2.3 and in resistivity modeling had a value of 21.1ohm-m. These results indicated that the aquifer is not a groundwater aquifer that can be used for needs during the dry season.

Natural disaster nowadays often occur in Indonesia due to climate change, especially those related to atmospheric dynamics anomalies. The statutory event of atmospheric turbulence statistically is quite significant in its improvement. This is an important issue to conduct research both in the analysis of atmospheric dynamics and early detection solutions for these events. The Windshear phenomenon is an atmospheric turbulence disaster that occurs below an altitude of 3000 feet, often known as low level windshear (LLWS), which is very dangerous for planes taking take-off or landing. Its effect on the aircraft will result in increased airflow on the wings, so this increased airflow will result in a sudden increase in aircraft speed. If the pilot is not aware of the indication of the windshear, he will instinctively throttle back to reduce/compensate for the aircraft's speed. However, once the plane passes through the wind shear zone, the wind suddenly turns into a downdraft. The design of windshear early detection devices have been developed to complement research on the dynamics of the atmosphere. The results obtained are anomalous changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure at this time, and the windshear sensor can detect it well.

This study aims to identify hydrocarbon by evaluating anisotropy parameters estimated from corsswell seismic data. Several approaches were performed in this study included shear wave splitting (SWS) and angle-based velocity variation (VVA) methods. Anisotropy coefficient K was estimated by SWS method and anisotropy parameters ε, δ, and γ were estimated using modified Thomsen's equations in Vertically Transverse Isotropy (VTI) medium applied to Crosswell seismic geometry. The velocity variation was observed when pressure (P) wave propagated through a layered media containing hydrocarbon. The P-wave velocity was decreasing along with the increasing of the incidence angle and the calculated values of anisotropy (ε, δ, γ, and K) on the target zone within interval 1390 m to 1820 m depth were relatively high compared to the zone does not contain hydrocarbon. The evaluation was verified with Poisson's, pressure wave velocity (VP) and shear wave velocity (VS) ratio analyses and validated to the existing petrophysics data. In conclusion, anisotropy values (ε, δ, γ and K) and velocity variation with angle of incidence have a positive relationship with hydrocarbon and applicable as a tool for identifying the presence of hydrocarbon in layered media.

Geothermal system requires specific geological condition that allow deep circulation of ground water to extract heat from the heat source. Faults and fractures play a major role in the localization and evolution of hydrothermal flow on several scales. The research aim was to obtain the permeability pattern of hydrothermal fluid base on response of micro seismic waves to subsurface structures. In one dimensional structure, average Horizontal to Vertical (H/V) spectral ratios can be assumed to measure the ellipticity of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave. Hence the shape of H/V ratios can be used to estimate the shear-wave velocity profile. The poisson's ratio value of the hot spring corresponds to the physical properties of rock containing fluids. The thickness of the sand deposit and the soft layer indicated in the hot spring zone. We interpreted that we have warm springs in the research area comes up by the fracture or fault zone and permeable zone of sand soil.

The study was conducted to determine the response of the Semarang Coastal area to eartquakes by measuring the micro tremor response with 3 component seismographs at 110 locations on the Semarang coastal region that were distributed almost evenly. From the micro tremor data, it is processed using Gyopsy software to get the dominant frequency and amplification values. The dominant frequency value and its amplification are then made a map with surfer 13, and the results are then overlaid on the RBI map for qualitative interpretation. The results of this study are dominant frequency and their amplification in the Semarang coastal region maps. The dominant frequency values range from 0.5 Hz - 10 Hz. Based on the dominant frequency values, can be grouped into three categories, namely low frequency values that are less than 2.5 Hz associated with sediment thickness values of more than 30 m and areas with moderate frequencies with values between 2.5 - 4 Hz associated with sediment thickness 10 - 30 m, and high frequency indigo between 4 Hz - 10 Hz is associated with a sediment thickness of 5-10 m. Areas with low frequencies dominate the study area. Areas with medium and high frequency values are only a small part of the study area. The amplification values vary between 0.5 - 8.5. While the amplification value can also be grouped into 3 parts, namely the amplification of less than 2.75 associated with hard rocks almost dominates the central part of the study area, the amplification value between 2.75 - 5.15 associated rocks or soil with moderate violence is only a small part as between low and high values in the study area, and values of more than 5.15 associated with soft soils that dominate the northern and the southern part of the study area.. If the area around Semarang has an earthquake, the location with a large amplification will be more prone to earthquake disasters.

Spintronic THz emission from Ni/Pt bilayer grown on MgO is reported based on the novel THz emitter using metallic structures. The Ni metal was deposited first on a MgO substrate and capped with a thin Pt metal via electron beam deposition. The THz emission data was obtained using a standard terahertz time-domain spectroscopy setup using a Ti: sapphire laser excitation source. Initial measurements were done using 800nm excitation with 7 mW and 185 mW pump powers under upward and downward magnetic field orientations. Polarity reversal of the terahertz signal was observed upon changing the orientation of the magnetic field. Maximum amplitude was found at 0.5 THz with bandwidth up to ~6 THz. A saturation fluence of 85.04 mJ/cm2 was calculated from the pump fluence-dependence plot of the THz peak-to-peak signal. The results are consistent with the spintronic THz emission due to the inverse spin-Hall effect and provide insights for future development and optimizations.

The assessment of the anatomical radiography course is to measure the student's ability to identify anatomy on radiographic images. Conventional paper tests have used radiographic images. The limitations of this method are the number of radiographic films and the time-consuming assessment process. This study aimed to develop a computer-based test (CBT) to multiply the instruments, store pictures, and speed up the assessment time. The CBT software can reproduce radiographic images using digital files and a feature to add overlay markers. The placement of markers is done intuitively via a user interface with drag and drop motion recognition. The CBT software also provides features for instrument bank, instrument selection and management for exams, a relational database for examinee identities and exam entries, and automatic grading. CBT development uses the Waterfall Software Life Cycle (SDLC), with black-box testing using the normal value equivalent partition method. The CBT usability test was carried out by measuring user perceptions (5 administrators and 60 students) and comparing them with conventional methods at the 95% significance level. Research time decreased significantly during instrument preparation and the assessment process. User perceptions show that 76% of students and 85% of managers give positive assessments. There is no difference between conventional and CBT assessments with a p-value = 0.067 (p-value > 0.05) so that CBT is very potential to be used as a substitute for conventional paper-based tests in examining anatomical radiography courses.

To visualize the existence of micro-calcifications in mammography there are a number of ways carried out including by the magnification technique. This study evaluates the effect of magnification technique on optical density (OD) and size of the objects of the image produced on mammography. The objects used were three circular coins. Source to image distance (SID) was 65 cm, with a focal spot size of 0.1 cm, a combination of targets/filters was Mo/Mo with a filter's thickness of 30 µm. The tube loading was 100 mAs, the tube voltage was 27 kVp, and the magnification was in the range of 1.00 - 2.00 times with an increase of 0.25. Measurement of OD and size of the objects was using an ImageJ software. The results of this study revealed that the OD value decreases proportional to the magnification. The OD values calculated on the 2x magnification were 13.74, 14.26, and 13.44% lower than 1.0 magnification (without magnification), while the resulting image will be oval in proportion to the position of the coin from the chest wall and the magnification. An implementation of the magnification method in the mammography must be carried out with caution. In addition to a benefit to larger appear of micro-calcification, it also causes a decrease in OD and distortion of objects in the image.

Treatment planning aimed to provide the maximum dose to target tumor and minimize doses received by healthy tissue. Dose-volume histograms contain essential information about the dose distribution that radiation oncologists use in considering a treatment planning. In breast cancer mastectomy, the thickness of the thorax wall has decreased because of surgery. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the dose received by healthy tissue around the tumor. This study analyzes the doses distribution in breast cancer mastectomy using SlicerRT and compares it with treatment planning from the hospital. The study used three data patients from MRCCC Siloam Hospitals Jakarta. The simulation results were analyzed based on the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements Report's 83 for target tumor and tolerance limits of healthy tissue according to limitations from various references. Although the target tumor's homogeneity does not qualify, the healthy tissue around the tumor is still within tolerance. It is not a problem in intensity-modulated radiation therapy if avoidance of healthy tissue is more important than homogeneity. For the comparison result, the percentage acceptance of SlicerRT simulation is quite good, above 90%.

Newborns and children are more sensitive to radiation and have a longer life expectancy than adults. Therefore, efforts should be made to reduce unnecessary exposure by optimizing the dose when conducting radiological examinations. In order to optimize the dose in neonatal X-ray examinations, we studied a method to create inexpensive and precise neonatal chest heterogeneous anthropomorphic phantoms using a 3 dimensional (3D) printer. Phantoms were created by constructing segments of computed tomography (CT) volume data acquired from the chest of a 6-month-old, excluding the bone and lung tissue, using 3D image analysis software. The material used for 3D printing was polylactic acid; multiple printing densities were investigated. Gypsum and urethane foam were used as bone- and lung-equivalent substances. The CT values of the lung tissue in the phantom were almost the same as those of the air, and those of the bone tissue showed a range of CT values dependent on the print density. By visual evaluation, it was established that the shapes of the original lungs and heart were reproduced in the images of the phantom. The creation of an inexpensive and precise neonatal chest phantom using a 3D printer is useful.

Radiation protection education is difficult for some radiological workers to taking because they are busy with medical work. In radiation protection, understanding the behaviour of scattered radiation is important for reducing exposure. Although applications that visualize the behaviour of scattered radiation using augmented reality or virtual reality have been developed, such applications are limited by the need to download the application and the performance of the device. We have developed a system that can be used in a web browser to visualize the behaviour of scattered radiation more easily. Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the behaviour of scattered radiation during radiography using a portable X-ray machine. An augmented reality (AR) system was developed using A-Frame, an open-source web framework, and AR.js, which adds the AR function. Finally, the behaviour of scattered radiation was observed using various devices. With AR, the behaviour of scattered radiation was visualized in three dimensions. The newly developed AR system can be used with web browsers to easily learn the behaviour of scattered rays without the need for special devices.

Evaluation of dose distribution in a phantom is effective for quality control of radiation diagnostic equipment and evaluation of exposure. However, measurements at multiple points using a dosimeter is complicated. An alternative is to combine a plastic scintillator (PS) plate and digital camera to obtain the dose distribution of the entire phantom. In this study, the basic characteristics of this system were examined. A PS was sandwiched between Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) disk phantoms, and irradiation was performed while the tube current was changed from one direction. The tube voltage was set to two values, specifically 60 and 120 kV. During irradiation, the entire phantom was recorded at 0.1 s intervals using a digital Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) camera. The lowest dose rate where luminescence could be detected was approximately 1 mGy per 0.1 s. The amount of luminescence increased linearly with the dose rate. The proportional relationship that was confirmed between dose rate and luminescence suggests the possibility of using the system for dose estimation. This proposed dose-evaluation method can enable the dose distribution to be evaluated with a time resolution of 0.1 s and a high spatial resolution.

One of the threats to the natural ecosystem is urbanization. The deforestation and development of settlements have caused fragmented natural habitat, vegetation cover reduction, and decline of biodiversity. In urban, one of the mammalian groups that can adapt to the presence of settlement is the Chiroptera group or commonly known as bats. One of the areas that have experienced rapid urbanization was located in West Java. Considering this condition, this study aims to study the impact of urbanization and the potential use of Chiroptera as an urbanization bioindicator. The method used was line transect across the landscape mosaic located in 2 urbanized areas in West Java, i.e., Bekasi and Depok. There was 3 line transects in each area. Three locations were selected from each transect and sampled with 3 replications. The density of Chiroptera and the percentage of vegetation covers were observed along transects. In total, there were 18 observations. The study confirms the presence of fragmented landscape with vegetation cover mean ranged from 39.8%/100 m2 (95% CI: 20.4% to 59.2%). to 65.3%/100 m2 (95% CI: 52.5% to 78.1%). While the density of Chiroptera mean ranges were 2.18 inds. /100 m2 (95% CI: 1.44 to 2.92)-2.85 inds./100 m2 (95% CI: 0.98 to 4.72). There was a significant positive correlation (p = 0.004, r= 0.630) between vegetation cover and Chiroptera abundance. Based on the correlation, the less fragmented landscape was indicated by high Chiroptera abundance.

Probiotics from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in the livestock industry to replace the use of Antibiotics Growth Promoters (AGPs). LAB is a culture starter that is widely used in fermented foods. LAB has the ability to adapt to different substrates, resulting in its wide use in the fermentation of various food products. MRS (De Man Rogosa Sharpe) medium is a growth medium for LAB, but for the industrial-scale requires a high cost, therefore innovation is needed to find alternative culture media using local raw material. Tofu Liquid Waste (TLW) can be used as a growth medium for probiotic bacteria because it still contains enough nutrients source for growth. This study aims to determine the formulation and optimization of culture media for LAB isolates using tofu liquid waste. Six Lab isolates from chickens gastrointestinal tract were used in experiments to determine the ability to grow on TLW culture media. The growth assays are conducted by inoculating LAB isolates in the culture media formulation that divided into 4 groups, consisting of medium A (TLW+molasses 1,5%+skim milk 5%), B (TLW+molasses 1,5%+skim milk 2,5%), C (TLW+molasses 3%+skim milk 5%), and D (TLW+molasses 3%+skim milk 2,5%). The best LAB isolate to grow on TLW medium was Lactobacillus paracasei. The best TLW modification medium for Lactobacillus paracasei growth is D media.

Feed is a major factor in determining the success of aquaculture business. The quality and quantity of feeding properly will maximize the growth of fish. Various research and application of technology has been made to obtain alternative feed source so as to reduce the level of dependence on the food production industry. The eutrophication condition of Rawapening Lake has triggered the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms) to grow out of control. It speeds up the loss of water weeds, cover the surface of the water into the fishing area and degrade water quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of water hyacinth as an alternative fish feed ingredient. In addition, it is also an effort to control the growth of water hyacinth in Rawapening Lake. The descriptive analysis method with a quantitative approach was chosen in this study. After making flour, water hyacinth has a protein content of 12.51%. Water hyacinth fine flour mixed with other ingredients including fish meal and fish feed bisamenghasilkan rice bran protein content of 30.2477%. The results of testing the stability of feed in water (Water Stability Feed) showed that the feed was destroyed after being immersed in cold water for 17 hours. The buoyancy test shows the feed is classified as a submerged type. The feed sinks because it has a specific gravity which is greater than the specific gravity of water. The feed hardness test shows that the feed is not destroyed after being given a load of 500 grams. The heavier the load that the feed can hold, it means the feed is getting harder. Protein content of 30.2477% indicates that alternative fish feed has competitive quality because it is able to meet the protein needs of cultivated fish. Especially fish cultivated in tropical areas which have lower protein requirements (20-30%).

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) or imperfect formation of bone, is a disorder that affects the bone genetically. The range of clinical presentation of osteogenesis imperfecta lies widely from first trimester intrauterine day to later in life. Depends on the clinical features, it's hard to distinguish OI fractures from other causes of fractures, like genetic, non-genetic, and non-accidental injury. OI is a group of genetically heterogeneous bone-related genetic disorders, characterized, by bone fragility, frequent fractures, deformities of the spine and limbs, with just minimal trauma, this disease is also known as "brittle bone disease". Many recent studies identified molecular genetic defects underlying Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Osteogenesis imperfecta has a prevalence of 1 in 15-20,000 newborns. Gene signaling events of osteogenesis or collagenases pathobiology will give use another approach for the treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta in recent days. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disorder related to the bone with a broad description of characteristics. Most of the individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta are caused by correlating gene mutation in collagenogenesis encoding gene, which is COLIA1 and COL1A2, but in recent years, many other genetic causes have been known as the lead of this disease, such as mutation of such genes, LEPRE, SERPIN, WNT, BMP, IFITM. These genes are known as the correlated gene in the collagenogenesis and the other correlates to bone formation and maturation.

Clove (Syzigium aromaticum) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon winterianus) are essential oil-producing plants that are widely available in Indonesia and have high economic value for medicinal and industrial needs because of their antioxidant activity. However, the information about the relationship between antioxidant activity and the DNA content in these plants was very limited. Especially because DNA isolation of aromatic plants is also not easy to do with methods that are widely used. Therefore, this study aims to isolate DNA from clove and lemongrass using a modified Doyle and Doyle method and to find the relationship between the quality and quantity of DNA with their antioxidant activity. The method used was the use of PVP, isopropanol and sodium acetate for the modification of the Doyle and Doyle method in DNA isolation followed by antioxidant analysis using DPPH. The results showed that the modification to the Doyle and Doyle method had obtained high concentrations of DNA. Besides that, the clove DNA content is higher than lemongrass which is supported by the antioxidant activity of both plants.

Proper anamnesis of clinical practice in giving clear diagnosis is important for specific possible dental care. Disturbance in tooth development by any aetiological factors result in dental anomalies. The variation aetiologies of the dental anomaly are diverse but mainly caused by three main factors which are genetic, epigenetic, and environmental. From genetic mechanisms, where parents or siblings have a specific pattern of tooth, a bigger probability for an individual to have the same tooth pattern with his relatives, included gender differences. Based on epigenetic mechanisms, environmental chemicals, pharmaceuticals, aging, and dietary intake are a few factors that made up a tooth pattern. Repeated signaling molecules which received by protein receptor and induced by transcription factors between epithelial and mesenchyme in tooth development stages are relayed to transcript continued process of tooth development and become tooth anomalies. Orthodontists can be the ones to first diagnose and aware of the etiology and related characteristics with dental anomalies and further can cause malocclusion. An optimal and efficient integrated treatment plan of these anomalies should include the genetic profile of an individual to understand the developmental process and the aetiological factors for specific possible dental care. This paper aims to inform about the genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that involve in dental abnormalities development.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has an important role in stomatognathic system. Its role during function is facilitated from rotation and translation movement. Any deviation from TMJ normal anatomy and movement could lead into either clicking, crepitus, or pain in preauricular area. These sign and symptoms, which are widely referred as TMJ Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), extremely common in world population. Several genes have been identified contribute in susceptibility towards TMD. Genetic polymorphism are a form of gene sequences variance that is found in more than 1% of world population. Epigenetics is an interaction between internal and external environments that leads to a change in chromatin structures that switches the gene expression on and off. There are several factors that posibly affect the genetic polymorphisms in TMD such as; serotonin, cathecolamine, estrogen, folate, human leukocyte antigen (HLA), extracellular matrix, transcription factors, transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), epithelial growth factor, β-catenin, and discoidin. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA are found in chondrocyte of TMD patients. In a temporomandibular joint, miRNA-140 controls bone homeostasis especially on the articular remodeling. Genetic molecular and epigenetic study will benefit in diagnosis and treatment of TMD patient. The aim of this paper is author want to inform about molecular genetics and epigenetics of TMD.

Pain is the common reason why patient seeking for medical help. Recent studies, shows that there are various type of genes that have a role in pain perception. Genetic's role include pain sensation Genome Wide Association Study, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, and epigenetic in pain modulation. Recent studies shows that epigenetic mechanism can alter the expression of pronSetyaociceptive or antinociceptive gene that useful in managing pain from now on. In genes there are one or more polymorphisms that effect the expression of the protein products that later affect the pain response. Ion Channel is a protein membrrane that transporting ion in and out of a cell. This ion channel can change depends on the genes that made the protein. Recent studies shown that there's more than 450 ion channel genes. From all of those ion channels, voltage gated sodium channel (Nav) tend to be investigated more deeply because Nav is the most common and widely distributed in human cell. Changes on those channels can cause neuropathic pain. Small Fibre Neuropathy caused by defect of fiber myelinated A-delta and unmyelinated C. Substitution of a single aminoalkanoic acid in gene SCN9A, a gene that encoding for Na+ channel Nav1.7, can cause changes in channel Nav1.7. Study shows that Small Fibre Neuropathy lesion in gene SCN9A has decreased after surgical pain sensitivity in cohort patients. There's two types of inherited traits of pain sensation which is Mendellian and Non-Mendellian. Mendellian Inherited Traits show a relation between gene and a specific pain sensation that in recent studies show mutation in Nav1.7 ion channel. However, the Non Mendellian Inherited Traits said that Catechol O Methyltrasnferase, Guanosin Trifosfat, Cyclo Hydrolase and Nav1.9 have a very important role in pain sensation. This gene mutation information can help the clinician to give a better treatment strategies for patients.

Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the most common craniofacial birth defect in all populations worldwide and include cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) and cleft palate alone (CP). Approximately 70% of OFC are non syndromic while 30 % are syndromic. Syndromic OFCs are often caused by structural chromosomal anomalies or by coding mutations in a single gene. The most common OFC syndrome is Van der Woude syndrome (VWS, MIM #119300) which has 2% of all OFCs with an overall prevalence of 1/35,000-1/100,000 live births. The characteristic features of Van der Woude syndrome are orofacial clefts and congenital lower lip pits. IRF6 or GRHL3 plays an important role in VWS mutations. Van der Woude syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, mostly an affected person has one parent with the condition. Patients with Van der Woude Syndrome who has OFCs increased the risk of delayed language development, learning disabilities, or other mild cognitive problems. The average IQ of individuals with van der Woude syndrome is not significantly different. IRF6 or GRHL3 plays an important role in VWS mutations. The IRF6 protein is active in cells that give rise to tissues in the head and face. A shortage of the IRF6 protein affects the development and maturation of tissues in the face, resulting in the signs and symptoms of van der Woude syndrome such as OFCs. GRHL3 were shown to be required for the development of the periderm, and an important player in the IRF6 dependent pathway of periderm development. In this review, author will explain further about Van der Woude Syndrome and review the literature available on recent studies toward the caused of Van der Woude Syndrome whether it is developed from IRF6 genes.

Malocclusion is the major diagnosis in orthodontic field. According to Angle's classification, malocclusion is divided into Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusion. All of these classifications have etiologic factors that establish every specific characteristic of malocclusion. Genetic, is one of the most important etiology in malocclusion since it can be inherited congenitally, for instance many variations in transcription and translation of multifarious genes occurred in masseter muscles, which is the main mastication muscle in human. MYH/MyH-C, MMPs and IGF genes are frequently used to determine the expression of genes in masseter muscle using RT-PCR or cRT-PCR. On the other hand, polymorphism of ACTN3, which can influence fibre type proportions and also muscle performance is found in muscle and skeletal type of Class II malocclusion. MATN1, HSPG2, ALPL, and EPB41 genes are found linked to lp36 related to Class III malocclusion. However, genetic factor does not usually stand alone. It can be influenced by environment which called epigenetic factors. Increasing acetylation activity will initiate a chromatin domain formation that consists of genes for MyH-C fast type gene expression. In contrast, increased of deacetylation activity resulting in closed chromatin confirmation on the chromatin area to limit the access into transcription complexes for MyHC type I gene expression in malocclusion cases. Recently, the most common way to study about heritability in malocclusion is using masseter muscles by analyzing their types of fibers related to every malocclusion's phenotype. In this review, writer will explain more about genetic study in masseter, histone modification, and also genetic and epigenetic factors of Class II and Class III malocclusions, which involve gene mutation and polymorphism for genetic factors and histone acetylation and deacetylation for epigenetic factors.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic condition characterized characterized by join hypermobility, skin hyperextension, and tissue fragility that affects the connective tissue and collagen structures in the human body. The prevalence has been reported as in 1 in 5000 births and affects equally in both sexes. EDS has no racial proportions. There are several types of EDS, that are based on the 2017 International Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Classification. Thin and fragile mucosa, bleeding tendency, periodontal tissue injuries, and also tongue ghorlin syndrome has been reported as the intraoral manifestations in EDS. Another manifestation is hypermobile temporomandibular joint with high incidence of subluxation and dislocation. The mechanism of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is connected to collagen biosyhntesis, originating with nucleus transcription to aggregate collagen heterotrimers into large fibrils. Mutations have been found in collagen-encoding genes for several of these forms, or in genes encoding collagen-modifying enzymes. One of the most common type of EDS is classical EDS which is having type V collagen deficiency. This is caused by mutation in type V collagen-encoding gene, COL5A1 dan COL5A2. Type V collagen is a regulatory collagen fibril that forms the basis of the fibrils in bony, cartilaginous, fibrous, and tubular structures. The majority of mutations have been reported are nonsense mutations; splice site mutations leading to exon skips, missense mutations causing glycine substitutions, and frameshift mutation. As a clinician, the knowledge about the etiology, clinical sign, oral manifestation, and the genetic aspect of this syndrome is crucial for making correct diagnoses and proper treatment planning. In this review, the author will explain further about the genetic aspects of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is included in the type of protein that serves as the biological function regulator of vitamin D. Tooth formation, especially in enamel and dentin calcification, as well as maintaining the balance of phosphate and calcium ions which is an important factor in protecting teeth requires support from vitamin D. The VDR gene will regulate the activity of VDR proteins. Caries is a multifactorial disease in which genetic factors can affect the host susceptibility to caries. Polymorphism in the VDR gene is suspected to affect the host susceptibility to caries through changes in calcium metabolism. This study aims to discover the VDR gene polymorphism and its association with caries patients in Indonesia. 100 DNA samples from 100 blood samples, including 50 dental caries patients and 50 healthy controls, were analyzed using PCR-RFLP technique. PCR products were digested with the TaqI restrictive enzyme, then assessed with statistical analysis using Fisher's exact test and Continuity correction test. In the caries group, there were no samples with CC genotype, 4 samples with CT genotype, and 46 samples with TT genotype. There were also 4 C alleles and 96 T alleles. Polymorphic genotypes and alleles were found higher in the caries group (100% and 96%) than healthy controls (88% and 84%). These results conclude that the polymorphism of VDR TaqI (rs731236) gene was found in patients with dental caries. The distribution of genotypes and allele distributions of VDR TaqI (rs731236) gene between caries and healthy controls significantly differs noticeable (p <0.05).

Campomelic dysplasia (CD) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder and severe skeletal dysplasia. It is characterized by a variable relationship between skeletal and extra-skeletal abnormalities: congenital tightness and long bone arches, pelvic and chest abnormalities, eleven pairs of ribs instead of the usual twelve, facial deformities, cracks and sexual ambiguity. The appearance of pelvic joints, horseshoe inversion, pulmonary hypoplasia, abnormalities of the neck and cervical spine, as well as heart and kidney abnormalities also indicate this syndrome. Other findings of the CD include sexual reversals, in which males have chromosomes, but in some individuals have female genitalia and reproductive systems. The CD is caused by a de novo mutation in the SRY box containing gene 9 (SOX9), which is the main regulator of the development of the cartilage skeleton. It plays an important role in the selection and differentiation of mesenic cells of the chondrocyte lineage of all components of the cartilage skeleton. Most affected individuals have recognizable mutations. It has been reported that heterozigosity involves mutations involving missene, meaningless mutations, deletions in the coding area, and mutations that sometimes interfere with the reorganity of chromosomes in the SOX9 regulatory area. Loss or loss of control over this regulatory area around SOX9 may explain the level of craniophaasial defects described in CD syndrome. We outline the clinical picture, treatment and spectrum of mutations involved in CD syndrome. However, more research is needed to determine the effects of SOX9 on the binding of other genes that function well or are unknown on cartilage.

The human head consist of numerous bones. The bones of the face are suspended from the anterior portion of the cranium. These bones are responsible for the face and head form. The facial surface is immediately recognizable and seen which has a close association to the skeletal and cartilaginous structures. The diversity in shape, relative size, and spatial arrangement (vertical, horizontal and depth) between the assorted facial features such as nose, eyes. lips. etc., make individual human face unique, respectively. In recent years, study of various number of genes that contribute to craniofacial growth continuous to evolve, while the impact of individual genes on normal craniofacial variation is few established. Genes such as Homeobox. Sonic Hedgehog, transcription factor and IHH take important roles in craniofacial growth. In the other hand, it is also known that the genetic disorder of these signalling pathways may result abnormalities in the growth or fusion of the craniofacial processes and numerous anomalies. Genes may therefore take part in the development of craniofacial complex. Furthermore, clinicians need to be knowledgeable the combination and interaction of genetic and environmental factors of growth potential to perform an appropriate diagnose and treatment planning. In this review, the function of various individual genes involved in growth of facial region are discussed.

Universities in developing countries must have innovative ways of educating students to anticipate higher education costs. Computer network courses require server and client computers that are not cheap in terms of hardware and software. The most vulnerable computer hardware is the Hard Disk Drive (HDD), while the very expensive operating system license cost often forces universities to keep using outdated operating systems. This study aims to build open source network boot server by using PXE, DNSMASQ, TFTP, Casper and NFS. The PXE, DNSMASQ, TFTP, Casper and NFS will work together to become Open Source Network Boot Server (OSNBS). We conducted a simulation to measure the client boot speed from the network by using five clients and two versions of the uBuntu operating system image that have the capability of being a tool for computer networking courses. In addition, the processor server and hard disk server will be further monitored and analyzed. The simulation were carried out using virtualization on a desktop computer. We found that all clients successfully booted from the network. The latest uBuntu operating system image can efficiently improve the use of server resources for the processor and hard drive. In addition, the use of open source operating systems and existing hardware have also significantly reduced IT expenditure. This finding reinforces that OSNBS is suitable for low-cost computer network learning.

This effort certainly needs to be supported also in terms of setting revenue targets at the company. Determination of revenue targets in local water companies is currently using manual calculation methods so that the accuracy and effectiveness of setting revenue targets is less accurate. Forecasting models with mathematical methods are needed to predict future revenue targets so that monitoring of the success of regional development and consideration in decision making can be monitored. Forecasting this revenue target is based on actual data within the previous 5 (five) years, namely from January 2014 until December 2018, by comparing the two forecasting methods, namely the Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) and Triple Exponential Smoothing (TES) methods. The forecasting accuracy method is used the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) method to measure the accuracy of the forecasting results from the two forecasting methods used. Forecasting test results are performed using alpha constant values of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 as trial data. Based on the trials conducted, the forecasting results presented show that forecasting results with the Double Exponential Smoothing method provide a more optimal forecasting result at alpha 0.7 with a MAPE value of 9.54%, so that the use of the Double Exponential Smoothing method is recommended in forecasting revenue targets in the Local Water Company because it has an error value under 10%.

Requirement Engineering (RE) aims to provide assurance that a software product can meet user needs. The RE phase is a stage that is carried out early in the software development phase of the System Development Life Cycles (SDLC). The main problem in software development is the accuracy of the requirements specifications generated in the RE phase. Problems due to non-conforming specifications can result in software become of poor quality, development time become longer, and development costs become high. To minimize the obstacles that occur, in this article will be given about the techniques carried out in the RE process including elicitation, analysis, documentation, validation, and management. The techniques are given focus more on the implementation of technical activities and artifacts that are used (if any) in each RE process. Artifacts in the RE process can be used as a tool to simplify the verification process and validation of conformity between the requirements specifications produced with the expectations desired by the user. The resulting artifacts are using UML notation which consists of flow modelling using activity diagrams and prototype modelling using use case diagrams. Based on the proposed technical activities, the RE process can improve the quality of the software, the development time is according to the planned schedule, and the development costs according to the budgeted.

The advancement of information technology development makes it researchers easier to read papers shortly after they are published online. A paper will be cited, usually within one to two years after the paper is published. The number of citations of a researcher's papers is currently an indicator of his/her scholarly impact. The measurement widely used is the H-index. The calculation of the impact of the researcher using the H-index method does not calculate the weighted classification of the author's position on each paper. The main author or co-authors score have the same weighted citation weighted of an article cited. The weighting of the number of citations obtained by the author has begun to get attention by Scientometricians in recent years. This is done to differentiate the value of the impact obtained by the main author and co-author. Since 2015, the Government of Indonesia has awarded a number of awards to Indonesian researchers who have the greatest impact value. Assessment of the impact value of researchers in Indonesia uses the Sinta Index version 1 (SI-1) which is based on the researcher's H-index value in Scopus, GS, and WoS. Problems arise when a researcher with most of his papers as a co-author gets an award, while another researcher who has a position as the main author does not get the award, even though the number of papers and the number of citations obtained are relatively similar. In 2020, we found that Sinta Index was upgraded, namely Sinta Index version 2 (SI-2). There are some differences between versions 1 and 2. This paper will propose a mechanism for calculating the impact of researchers using the weighting of the investigator's position based on the percent-contribution-indicated (PCI) method. The data source used was the Scopus database. To get and classified the source data, we developed a tool using API. For the rank of the researcher, we used data from the Sinta Index website. Collection software design created using PHP and Mysql. From the research results, it was found that the correlation test by Pearson's Method of the H-index values of APW and Scopus is 0,44; APW vs GS (0,39) and GS vs Scopus is 0.95. This means that APW method has a weak correlation with the H-index values of GS and Scopus. APW is independent of the two h-index calculations.

It is currently thought that university websites play important roles in maintaining communication with stakeholders. The evidence shows that the usability aspect of the website positively correlates with governance support. This paper presents a new approach to identify, assess and evaluate usability aspect base on ten Heuristic Evaluation principles by implementing the ANP method. This method works by determining the weight of the best site criteria according to Webometric version ranking. The initial questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability using total item correlation analysis, the r-value was obtained in the range 0.706-0.919 (valid) and the reliability value in the range 0.861-0.939 (reliable). It was also found that by implementing expert judgment tests, some questionnaires are required more editorial adjustment. Interestingly, the layout of the websites hit the usability criteria. Another ten HE aspects run well while some light improvements were required for error prevention, recognition rather than recall, help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors aspects. The most remarkable result to emerge from the data was that visibility of system status, match between system and the real world, and consistency standards shown good result.

Cancer causes many deaths in the world. One of the most dangerous types of cancer is skin cancer caused by cancer cells that grow and spread uncontrollably in the skin layers. There are an estimated that 100,000 new cases of skin cancer will occur in the United States, which will cause around 6000 deaths by 2020. The survival rate of people with skin cancer can increase if successfully treated at an early stage. Examination of the lesion or dermoscopy images takes a long time and is prone to errors due to differences of opinion by doctors. A computer program for image processing was developed to improve accuracy and efficiency that helps doctors diagnose and evaluate. The most crucial stage in the diagnosis process is the segmentation of skin lesions. Wrong segmentation results will affect accuracy at the classification stage. This study developed a segmentation model for a skin cancer image that uses the MobileNet model as an encoder block and Linknet model for a decoder block by selecting the best hyper-parameter value from several training scenarios. MobileNet encoder and Linknet as a decoder are known to have the same ability, which is to overcome the problem of computational efficiency without compromising accuracy. Four hyper-parameters used are learning rate, the number of epochs, image size, and using pre-trained or not. Besides, there is a performance comparison scenario between the MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2 encoder blocks. The model trained using the 2017 ISIC Challenge dataset consisting of 2000 training data, 150 validation data, and 600 test data. The Intersection over Union score obtained was 71.5% from models trained with a hyper-parameter learning rate of 0.001, 50 epochs, with an image size of 256 × 256 × 3, using a pre-trained model, and using a MobileNetV1 encoder block. The mask image that is the result of the segmentation of skin cancer images using the MobileNet encoder model and Linknet decoder is accurate enough to be used in the process at a later stage.

This paper describes the ship convoys intended for mathematically modelling. The phenomenon essentially imitates the behaviour of a shoal of fish for several advantages. However, a control design is investigated to ascertain the factors influencing the fleet to navigate jointly without diversion or collision. Furthermore, the vessels are assumed to function independently, but are only assigned a common task of delivering goods. The control design process employs an optimal method known as the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, and the model implemented is generally applied to marine vessels. Meanwhile, the control equation utilizes the Nomoto's model. In addition, the ship model supports the rudder input responsible for the change in the direction of motion. Also, this study exposes a functional cost pattern describing the joint tasks and further models the ship convoys for optimum control. The numerical simulation provides a detailed summary of the applied optimal process to solve the problems encountered in deliveries.

We present a tuberculosis epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rates. The mathematical model consists of five variables that are susceptible, exposed, infectious, and recovered. Where infectious is divided into two categories, the first is latent infectious and the second categories is MDR (Resistant). The parameters on infectious describe the level of tuberculosis's treatments are the treatment for the prevention of epidemic tuberculosis is by chemoprohylaxis for the the exposed individuals. Whereas treatment for infected individuals uses anti-tuberculosis drug theraphy with the directly observed treatment short course strategy(DOTS). The research method uses analytical (using the MAPLE) and numerical (using the MATLAB application) analysis. The steps in the analytical analysis include making a tuberculosis disease model, determining the point of equilibrium, and analyzing stability. Meanwhile, numerical analysis is used to explain the dynamic simulation of the spread of tuberculosis and the effectiveness of the treatment. The results of this research obtained are two equilibrium points (endemic and non-endemic) with a condition of conditional stability for each point. The stability will apply if the conditions proposed are met, namely local stability at a point of non-endemic equilibrium (ε0) is stable if ℜ0 less than 1 and endemic equilibrium point (ε*) will be stable if ℜ0 more than 1. From the results of analytic calculations and numerical simulations, by using Ruth-Hurwitz Method ℜ0 = 0.312 at the non-endemic point and Centre Manifold method on endemic point is ℜ0 = 0.312. So it can be concluded that the treatment on the first stage is more important to protect on TB spread.

Fuzzy Time Series (FTS) has been growing rapidly in recent years. There are many models that were developed. In this paper, we propose a new method to forecast exchange rate data by combining some models. Firstly, we use the average-based interval to make optimal interval numbers. Secondly, we use frequency density-based partitioning for optimal partitioning. In this part, we divide the three highest frequency of intervals into four, three, and two sub-intervals, respectively, and discarding intervals if there is no data distributed. And thirdly, we use k-means clustering to construct the Fuzzy Logical Relationship Group (FLRG). We divide Fuzzy Logical Relationship (FLR) into 16 initial clusters. Then we evaluate model by calculating the error value using MSE (Mean Squared Error) and AFER (Average Forecasting Error Rates). The study case of this paper is daily exchange rate data (USD to IDR) started from January until May with its unstable fluctuation caused by Pandemic Covid-19. The study aims to obtain a forecasting model of exchange rate data as the preparation and evaluation for future conditions.

Bounded variation functions of a single variable were first introduced by Camille Jordan (1881). Bounded variation functions or 𝐵𝑉 functions is a function with the total variation is finite. The variation in a function aims to measure how much increase and decline occure in the function. In this paper, we generalize this function in the metric space. Let (𝑋, 𝑑) be a complete metric space and 𝛾: 𝑆 → Bbb R is a function, where 𝑆 is a closed and bounded subset of 𝑋. The function 𝛾 is of bounded variation on 𝑆 if 𝑉(𝛾, 𝑆) is finite, i.e 𝑉(𝛾, 𝑆) < . The result of this paper is the definition and properties algebraic of bounded variation function on metric spaces. Some properties of this function is multiplication with scalar, sum of two functions, and product of two functions. The function of bounded variation to 𝑆 are also bounded variation to each subspace from 𝑆. If 𝛾 is a bounded variation function on 𝑆 then 𝛾 is bounded on 𝑆. We also consider the related topic it is absolute continuity. If a function 𝛾 is absolutely continuous on 𝑆 then 𝛾 is of bounded variation on 𝑆.

The government have new program to deal with the pandemic impact of the Coronavirus, which is said with the new normal. The implementation of the new normal itself requires more attention in terms of the readiness of a region to implement the program. Determination of these areas can be done using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS) methods. Fuzzy AHP is used to determine the weight of the existing criteria, while Fuzzy TOPSIS is used to determine the safest area and is ready to implement the new normal. The case study for the problem in this paper is Central Java Province, with alternatives districts and cities. The influencing criterias are the number of People Under Surveillance (PeUS), the number of Patient Under Surveillance (PaUS), the number of patients being treated, the number of positive patients who died, and positive patients who recovered. Triangular fuzzy number approach both methods. The results of this study found that 30% of the total number of districts or cities are ready to implement the New Normal program. This study also explain that the higher of the patient number being treated, the less safe an area will be. While the patients number who recover is increasing, then an area will be ready to implement a New Normal program.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease that still exists in a community. A mathematical model incorporating vaccinated treatment and the effect of relapse of the disease is studied. This research is modified with vaccinated to reduce the rate of transmission and relapse condition in a healing period. The model is analysed to verify the dynamical behaviour of the equilibriums. The nonendemic equilibrium (NE) state is determined by Castillo-Chaves theorem for the stability of global and the endemic equilibrium (EE) state using Lyapunov method. The existence of EE is determined by reproductive number (Script R0) that derived by next generation matrix. When the Script R0 less than one, NE state is stable. Then EE is stable if Script R0 exceed unity. The simulation result is presented to describe the dynamic of TB spread in a long time.

TB is an infectious disease that attacks parts of the body, one of the lungs. This disease is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis through the droplet nucleus which spreads when the patient coughs or sneezes. This TB epidemic model is classified into four subpopulations, namely the susceptible subpopulation, the symptomatic infection subpopulation, the asymptomatic infection subpopulation, and the recovered subpopulation, by introducing treatment at each stage of infection and analysing dynamic models. The analysis was carried out to determine the local stability balance point which can be determined through the basic reproduction number (Script R0) obtained through the Next Generation Matrix (NGM). When the value of Script R0 <1, the disease-free equilibrium point will be asymptotically stable using the Routh-Hurwitz criteria, and when Script R0> 1, the endemic equilibrium point will be asymptotically stable locally using the Manifold Center. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion is used to investigate the stability of the disease-free equilibrium point if all parts of the real eigenvalues of the jacobian matrix are negative. The manifold center method is used to investigate the stability of the endemic equilibrium point at Script R0> 1 which is determined by the number of roots of the characteristic equation with zero root real parts. Numerical simulations are used to make it easier to explain the dynamic behavior of a system and describe its analytical results.

Improvement Performance Appraisal of the Civil Servant (CS) is important in the field of Human Resource Development. Currently, conventional performance appraisal is still used even though it cannot provide an objective assessment. CS performance is important so it needs to be properly assessed. CS performance is influenced by working behavior and competence. Various methods have been carried out to improve the competence of CS. In this case, more directed to a formal way, Self-Development is less emphasized on each individual CS itself. Therefore, in this research, Profile Matching and ELECTRE method is recommended to measure the value of criteria weighting on CS Self-Development. Input from this Profile Matching are questioner data in the form of interest and talent ability from CS. Then the suitable measurement is used to determine the weight criteria using ELECTRE. Thus, the ELECTRE method will be used to calculate the values that have been obtained and adjusted to the existing rules. The output of this information system is a data list of recommendations for field competencies that can be selected by CS.

Pagar Alam coffee farming is a smallholder plantation, the majority of which is a hereditary business. The success of this coffee farming cannot be separated from existing resources, including land productivity. Land productivity concerns the amount of production, land resources, and land management efforts. This paper discusses the factors that influence the land productivity of coffee farms in Kota Pagar Alam, using binary logistic regression analysis. In general, there are 5 factors discussed, namely the identity of farmers and their internal factors, agricultural land, the performance of farmers in the production process, yields, and external factors on the productivity of Pagar Alam coffee farms. The data used are 191 respondents with 33 independent variables and one dependent variable. Each variable is divided into categories. Land Productivity as the dependent variable is divided into 2 categories, namely low and high. Based on bivariate analysis, variables related to land productivity are land area, number of trees, frequency of fertilizer used, frequency of pesticides used, length of harvest, production, female labor in the family, gross income, net income, and production costs. Furthermore, based on the binary logistic regression model of land productivity probability, variables that significantly affect land productivity of Pagar Alam coffee farms are area, number of trees, crop production, and net income. The accuracy of the model simultaneously was 93.2%. The probability value of the model is predominantly influenced by the harvest production variable with an odds ratio of 49.505. If the category of harvest production and net income increases, the probability for high land productivity will also increase. Conversely, if the area of land and the number of trees increases, the probability of high land productivity will decrease.

Inventory management on manufacturer and retail industries is commonly containing some uncertain parameters like future cost and future demand value where the decision-maker has to execute the optimal decision under these parameter's uncertainty. While the data is available then these uncertain parameters can be assigned as a random variable and a probabilistic approach can be used to solve. But, if there is no data available for these uncertain parameters, then a fuzzy uncertainty approach can be used to solve this problem that is discussed in this paper. We have developed a mathematical model that can be used to calculate the optimal decision under fuzzy uncertainty where the decision is calculated and executed before the uncertain parameters are revealed. Numerical experiment results show that the problem was solved by using the proposed mathematical model, the optimal decision was achieved i.e. the optimal procurement volume product type and the optimal stored product volume in the inventory.

Development of 3-Point Block Method with one off-step point using Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) is presented in this paper to find out the solution for stiff Ordinary Differential Equation (ODEs). By considering the Backward Differentiation Formulas (BBDF), the block method has been derived. It is well known that BBDF is used for solving stiff ODEs. The strategy for the development of this process is to compute three solution values with one off-step point concurrently to each iteration. One off-step point is added in the implicit BBDF method for better accuracy. Derivation of the formulae and consistency properties are generated in this paper. Numerically the proposed method with order five is achieved as a result. Mathematica software has been used for the derivation and consistency of the method.

Hepatitis B is an inflammatory liver disease caused by hepatitis B virus, whose spread can be contagious and becomes a serious world health problem. The spread of hepatitis B can be modeled using the Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered (SIR) model. This paper aims is to reduce individuals infected with hepatitis B virus by applyingoptimal control strategies. The SIR model is given optimal control with three control variables, namely health promotion, treatment, and vaccination. Optimal control form is determined by the Pontryagin Maximum Principle (PMP) method to minimize the number of infected individuals and the associated costs. The step of PMP method i.e. Identify the Lagrange multipliers, and then minimizea Hamiltonian function, further obtaine stationary conditions, and finally find an optimal control. The results of numerical simulations completed by the Runge-Kutta Order 4 show effectiveness in minimizing infected individuals. In addition, it can also maximize individual recovery by giving the proposed three control variables.

The increase in the population of old - age or elderly had become an inevitable thing for both developed and developing countries, Indonesia is one of them. With increasing life expectancy, getting healthier, and the desire to stay active; this encourages old – age individuals to carry out economic activities, one of them by working. This activity is not only to fulfill basic needs but also not all individuals of old – age receive pension social security. This paper aims to examine the determinants of the hours of work for old – age or elderly individuals in Indonesia. The paper findings, for old – age individuals who are under 75 years old, the factors influence the hours of work are economic factors (such as wages and non-labor income), the head of household status, marital status, education, urban rural, and industrial origin. However, the old – age individuals who are above 75 years old, these factors have no real influence. Activities carried out by this elderly group, both economic and non-economic, are more about efforts to maintain their routines so that they still feel healthy, they can meet many people, they do not depend on others, and become independent individuals. The suggestion, the government needs to pay attention to working hours and determine the proper industrial origin for elderly who still want to work; they should encourage the care programs for the elderly who come from their families, this is more beneficial for the elderly because it is expected to minimize the risk of illness and death. Furthermore, for old – age individuals who previously worked in the informal sector, the government needs to improve retirement security.

In this paper, we consider five different generalizations of the well-known Pareto distribution. In literature, different generalizations were used so that the newly generated lifetime distributions were more flexible and can be used to model skewed, symmetric, and monotone data. We consider some important characteristics of the generalized Pareto distributions, such as monotonicity and hazard rate function. Comparisons are performed between the different generalizations of Pareto distribution. Modelling real data examples are done using the different goodness of fit tests. Numerical methods are used to conduct the suggested tests, and resulted with the models that are most suitable for describing the behaviour for these data. Finally, the conclusion is given to illustrate the purpose of this work

Analysis of extreme data containing spatial elements can be used the Spatial Extreme Value method, which is applied with a max-stable process approach. The data preprocessing process begins by identifying the extreme data of each location for each time period or block. This method is also called Block maxima. The data obtained from the Block Maxima process will follow the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. GEV has three forms of distribution, namely Gumbel, Frechet and Weibull. In this study, the data will be transformed into the frechet distribution margin because the frechet has a heavy tail shape, this is required in MSP modeling. Smith model, Schlater model, and Brown Resnik model are the three main models in MSP. Brown technical model is used in this research because Brown Resnick form is a flexible ta of stationary max stable processes in Gaussian random fields. The best model is selecting based on the smallest TIC value from all combinations of Trend surface models. The selected model is then used to determine the prediction of the extreme wave height for each location with a certain time period. The location used in this study is a point where fishermen are widely used to find fish, namely Semarang, Pekalongan, and Rembang which are in Central Java Province.

This paper analyses a Skewed t Distribution approach to estimate Value at Risk (VaR) as a tool that can measure a risk investment. The method can estimate an investment risk that can overcome the shortcoming of classical VaR, which cannot capture the existence of fat tail and skewness. The application of the method was utilized to evaluate the individual risk of four stocks taken from the NYSE Index, namely Advance Micro Devices Inc (AMD), The Coca-Cola Company (KO), Pfizer Inc. (PFE), and Walmart Inc (WMT). It can be summarized from the result of the analysis that VaR (in several confidence levels) based on the distribution approach is powerful in risk measurement and can give an alternative to the investor for estimating the risk.

The generalized exponential model has a unimodal curve shape, so it can be used as a growth function model. Determination of the supported designs must be run to construct the model is a serious problem. Based on the supported designs are expected to meet the optimal criteria. In this paper, we use the D-optimal criteria, which is minimized the variance of the parameter estimator. The standardized variance function has an important role in the D-optimal design. The D-optimal design is a design with the value of standardized variance at supported designs is equal to the number of parameters. The number of roots of the standardized variance function needs to be find to determine the number of supported designs. Tchebycheff system is a set of continuous functions that can be used to determine the number of roots of a function. A design with the number of supported designs same as the number of roots of the standardized variance function with uniform weight is a minimally supported design.

Nonminimally supported designs is a design that the number of supported design is greater than the number of parameters of the model. We construct nonminimally supported design with the number of the supported designs is the number of parameters plus one and it has uniform weight. We use two methods to construct nonminimally supported design, first we create the formula of determinant information matrix then miximized it, second by adding one supported design from minimally supported design. The formula to determine the supported design is a complicated nonlinear function, so we use numerically approach. Furthermore we conclude the best of nonminimally supported design based on the highest value of determinant information matrix. Efficiency of nonminimally supported design to minimally supported design is ratio of determinant information matrix nonminimally supported design and determinant information matrix minimally supported design.

The Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) model is used widely for model the dynamic of asset price movement. One of the company's assets is a stock. The distribution of stock data that is normally distributed can be modeled using the Geometric Brownian Motion model. However, the distribution of stock data showed excess kurtosis and tail when using the Brown Geometry Motion model was less precise. One model for data showing excess kurtosis and tail was Variance Gamma (VG). In this research, the sample used was the stock data of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk for the period April 25th, 2018 to April 24th, 2020. The data sample was divided into two parts, namely training data and testing data. Based on the result of the stock description statistics, the value of skewness = -2.105417 and kurtosis = 22.16438 was obtained, while hypothesis testing concluded that the stock distribution did not spread normally. The resulting parameters for the VG model were σ = 0.08071, v = 8.00500 and θ = 0.01976. Based on the results of testing on the last 38 observations, the MAPE value was = 6.97560%. These results gave the conclusion that the VG model provided excellent forecasting results.

Regression is a method of statistics analysis for modeling between the dependent variable to independent variables. Estimation in the regression model uses the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. In the regression model, several assumptions are required. One of the reasons for the violation of the assumption is that there are outliers in the data. There are several methods that can be used to overcome outliers, one of which is using the Robust MM-estimator regression. The MM-estimator has high efficiency when the error is normally distributed and also has a high breakdown value. To implement the SDG's program, one program is health. It has objectiveness to reduce maternal mortality rate. Maternal mortality consist of pregnancy, give of birth and postpartum mother. In this study the data used was the number of maternal mortality of pregnancy in Central Java in 2019 as the dependent variable, while the independent variables used included the percentage of pregnant women consuming Fe3 tablet (X1), percentage of households that have a clean and healthy lifestyle (X2); percentage of pregnant women who made the first visit (X3); The results obtained in multiple regression modeling produce R square value of 0.222679 and Mean Square Error (MSE) of 6.894871. The assumptions in the regression model unfulfilled, may be caused by outlier in data. In MM robust regression modeling, the R square value is 0.2695, and the MSE value is 4.989. It shows that robust regression modeling with MM estimator is better than multiple regression.

The public service sector is a sector that is engaged to serve the interests of the community. To get to the public service sector that satisfies the public, there needs to be innovation in system renewal. Many factors need to be analyzed in the public service sector to create a satisfying service. One of the factors determining community satisfaction is the queuing system in the public service area. Queue analysis is an analytical method to measure the performance of a queuing system. The system measured in services includes the number of visitors entering the queue system and the time customers start serving. The queuing system follows the Poisson, Exponential, Normal, or General distribution. For general distribution can be studied into Non-Poisson distribution. In this study, an analysis of the queuing system at the Department of Population and Civil Registration in the city of Semarang included 8 counters. From the analysis results obtained, the general distribution determined is the Dagum and Log Normal distribution. While the size of the performance of the queuing system can be said to be good, because the waiting time for customers in the system is very less.

Gender consists of female and male. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. Glucose is controlled by the hormone insulin which is produced by the pancreas. In diabetics, the pancreas is unable to produce insulin according to the body's needs. Blood sugar tests can be done to find out someone has diabetes. This method by a time blood sugar test and fasting blood sugar test. Stroke is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). We can use the proportional hazards regression and the stratified proportional hazards model to determine the factors causing diabetes mellitus and stroke. The significant covariate could be seen as a factor causing disease. Significant covariate also yields hazard ratio. If the event time assumed has loglogistics distribution. Some of the functions discussed in this paper, namely the cumulative distribution function, survival function, hazard rate function, and cumulative hazard function. These functions are useful for prediction tools provided the event time is known. The purpose of this study was to find the factors that cause diabetes mellitus and stroke in the gender strata and making functions of random variables with the logistic distribution. The results obtained from this study are the factors that influence a person at risk of stroke namely the type of stroke, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus. The factors that affect a person at risk of stroke according to gender are the type of stroke, hypertension, systolic blood pressure. If the sample includes all women who have had a stroke, it is primarily affected by the type of stroke. If the sample consists of all men who have had a stroke, it is concluded that the significant covariates are type of stroke, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus. Men have a higher rate of stroke than women.

Today Indonesia is experiencing health problems that are also being faced by all countries in the world, namely Covid-19. Jakarta, the capital of the state of Indonesia, is one of the provinces that has been the epicenter of the Covid-19 cases. Aim of study is to determine dependency between Covid-19 and maximum temperature in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data of Covid-19 cases used are daily cumulative cases, new cases, and deaths. The correlations used are Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall. The correlation coefficient only provides information on the measure of the two variable relationship and does not show the structure of dependency between these variables. One of the methods used to see the dependency structure between variables is copula. One of the copula that is widely used is the clayton copula because of its flexible characteristics. Meanwhile, to see the dependency structure between variables will be used the Copula method from Clayton Copula. The results show that maximum temperature is significantly associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on clayton copula model, the small parameters indicate small dependencies between Covid-19 and maximum temperature.

In regression analysis, the spatial aspects need to be considered because each region has different characteristics as well as the Poisson regression model. In this method, some assumptions must be fulfilled, namely that the variance and the mean of the response variable are equal. However, counted data often have a greater variance than the mean, or what is generally called the over-dispersion phenomenon. If over-dispersion occurs, the Poisson regression is not suitable for modeling data, and that will produce biases in the parameter estimates. One method used to overcome over-dispersion in Poisson regression is negative binomial regression. The negative binomial regression model is more flexible than the Poisson regression model because it assumes that the mean and variance are not necessarily equal. Therefore, if the spatial aspect is considered, the Geographically Weighted Negative Binomial Regression (GWNBR) method is used. This study aims to compile a computational application to model spatial data using GWNBR Model using R-Shiny Web Application. And, the GWNBR model will be applied to modeling the number of dengue cases in Central Java province. The GWNBR model with Adaptive Boxcar weight is the best model because it has the smallest AIC. Using this model, two groups of districts/cities are obtained based on significant variables.

Artificial Neural Network or Neural Network (NN) is an information processing system that has similar characteristics to the neural network in living things. One type of NN that is often used in classification is Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN). BPNN is an NN model that is often used for classification because it does not need to use assumptions and has high accuracy. One of the classification problems that can be solved with BPNN is the classification of breast cancer. The breast cancer data used in this study came from the UCI Machine Learning website. The problem with BPNN is that programming is difficult for users who do not understand the program, especially the R program. Therefore, to make it easier for users to analyze BPNN, an R-Shiny application or interface is created using the RStudio program. The application or R-Shiny interface that has been created has several advantages, namely the application process that is fast in displaying classification results, the use of user-friendly applications and the use of applications that are more comfortable when compared to having to write syntax such as in the R program. BPNN classification results use The R-Shiny interface has a different level of accuracy for each experiment due to the random distribution of training & testing data. The experiments conducted in this study resulted in a range of accuracy values ranging from 58.33% to 91.67% with an average accuracy of 74.17%.

This initiative aims to provide an alternative solution in the form of technology to treat water polluted by saline water into clean water. This initiative used the method of electrolysis, filtration, and ozonation. Electrolysis has functions to remove salt contained and reduce levels of heavy metals while filtration functions to filter out the impurities in the form of solid particles, and ozonation takes a role to kill bacteria. Moreover, the target output of this work is the creation of a prototype by using this technology as a technology that can treat water polluted by saline water into clean water. The parameters assessed from this initiative are physical, chemical, and biological parameters of clean water. The results of the total test of dissolved solids of water before processing were 7130 ppm while it was 2490 ppm after getting treatment. The decreasing total value of dissolved solids is 65.077%, which indicates that the test was successful. The result of an electrical conductivity test of water before processing is 310 mA while after processing is 88.6 mA. The decrease in the current value of 71.419% indicates that the test was successful. The results of the turbidity test of water before processing are 0 FAU while after getting treatment is 0 FAU. The turbidity value remains 0, which indicates the test was successful. The results of the pH test of water before processing were 5.7 while the result after treatment got 6.1. The increase in pH value towards pH 7 (neutral) indicates that the test was successful. The test results of salt and heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Cl, Na, and Pb) of water before processing were 0.073 ppm, 0.07 ppm, 0.17 ppm, 0.04 ppm, and 4.24 ppm while after processing was 0 ppm, 0 ppm, 0.07 ppm, 0.03 ppm, and 1.36 ppm. There was a decrease in Fe 100%, Cu 100%, Cl 58,823%, Na 25%, and Pb 67,924% which showed that the test was successful. Test results for fecal coliform and nonfecal coliform bacteria before processing were 43 MPN / 100 ml and 7 MPN / 100 ml while after processing was 23 MPN / 100 ml and 4 MPN / 100 ml.

Bromelain isolated from pineapple (Ananas comosus) can be an excellent phytotherapeutic agent for cardiovascular treatment as it can inhibit platelet aggregation. However, if it is used orally, it can be easily degraded in an acidic pH environment due to enzymes secreted during the digestion process. Its instability under a certain condition will reduce its pharmacological activity and, as a result, will reduce its health benefit. Therefore bromelain needs to be encapsulated in a matrix such as alginate-carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) microsphere cross-linked to Ca2+ ion, which will act as a carrier agent. In this research, bromelain encapsulation is done by in situ encapsulation. Particle size analyzer (PSA), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, and scanning electron microscope are used as characterization instruments to investigate the encapsulation of bromelain into the alginate-CMC microsphere. PSA analysis showed that the molecular size of the alginate-CMC microspheres was in the 496.05±2.72 and 629.65±8.70 nm. Encapsulation study using the Bradford method showed that the highest encapsulation ratio was achieved at alginate-CMC ratio of 1.5:0.5 (% w/v:% w/v). These results demonstrated that the alginate-CMC microsphere had potential to be an effective matrix for bromelain encapsulation.

The high cost, scarce availability, and some extraneous side effects of some pharmaceuticals have diverted the majority's mindset towards the use of nutraceuticals as both prophylactic and therapeutic alternatives. The cancer incidence in the low and middle-income countries has risen due to several factors, but notably, it has been due to poverty and the non-availability of screening centers. The non-toxic nature, high availability, and low cost of food-based nutraceuticals have been a significant advantage to its users. Solanum lycopersicum is well-known to possess excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer potential, and this has been attributed to its potent bioactive compound, lycopene. The presence of β-carotene in Daucus Carota has also contributed immensely to its antioxidant and anticancer properties. Nutraceuticals are considered suitable for anticancer drug development due to their pleiotropic actions on target sites with multiple effects. This short review has explored the dietary characteristics, bioactive components and mild anticancer effects of tomatoes and carrots.

Then, appears peak in the area of 1300 cm−1, indicating the presence of a nitro group, which is assumed to have come from mango sap. Measurements of the briquette physicochemical properties such as moisture content, ash content volatile matter, and fixed carbon were measured using the proximate analysis method. Furthermore, the addition of coconut shells in producing bio briquettes from rice husks increased the calorific value by 7.305 MJ kg−1. So that, bio-briquette is an effective as an alternative energy source to replace fossil fuel for household purposes.
