It enables analysis of user behavior and trends, optimizing resource allocation and collection development. By leveraging AI to assess circulation data and usage patterns, librarians can better anticipate user needs and future trends. This study examines recent advancements in AI integration within LIS over the past five years, focusing on the methodologies, tools, and algorithms used. Through a systematic literature review, the study identifies key trends, challenges, and examples of AI applications in LIS, providing insights and recommendations for future research and implementation.
This study aims to predict the population dynamics of Brown Planthopper (BPH) in highly endemic areas of Central Java province, Indonesia. The research was conducted by modifying the method proposed by Legendre and Fortin (1989), through three stages. Those were predicting BPH attacks using Exponential Smoothing Holt Winter, analyzing spatial structure using I, C and Z test on Local Statistic, and making the connectivity inter the periodic predictions of planting season. The results showed that, the studied areas will experience the hotspots phenomenon based on the analysis by the method of Moran's I, Geary's C and Getis Ord Statistic. The analysis of Local Moran's and Getis Ord showed that, four counties namely Boyolali, Klaten, Karanganyar and Sragen experienced a local migration current from region to region around them, whereas other counties are independent. The migration current was influenced by topography, biotic interactions, and anthropogenic factor. Viewed from the spatial scalability in the studied areas, there are four categories of BPH population distribution; point, site, local, and landscape. BPH local migration interregion happened in the County of Klaten, Boyolali, Karanganyar and Sragen. It was caused by some factors: (1) the local climate, (2) the repetition of the use of rice plant variety in a long time, (3) the use of insecticide intensively (3-4 times in one planting period/season), and (4) the irrigation, allowing the spread of BPH larvae and eggs into its surroundings.
This study aims to develop a GIS application to detect the possible formation of brown planthoppers (BPH) (Nilaparvata lugens.Stal) endemic areas based on spatial trend, hierarchical effects and risks areas caused of spatial connectivity in a particular area. The study was conducted through five stages: (1) the collection and preprocessing of research data, (2) database development, (3) the creation of the component class Exponential Smoothing, Weight Metrics and Getis Ord, (4) development of a Early Warning class and GIS applications, and (5) information visualization in the form of graphs, maps and tables. The results show that the software component in this study; the class prediction engine; Getis Ord class and class early detection function optimally generate predictive, endemic regions and early warning information on the period ahead.
Visual Question Answering (VQA) is an interdisciplinary artificial intelligence (AI) activity that integrates computer vision and natural language processing. Its purpose is to empower machines to respond to questions by utilizing visual information. A VQA system typically takes an image and a natural language query as input and produces a textual answer as output. One major obstacle in VQA is identifying a successful method to extract and merge textual and visual data. We examine “Fusion” Models that use information from both the text encoder and picture encoder to efficiently perform the visual question-answering challenge. For the transformer model, we utilize BERT and RoBERTa, which analyze textual data. The image encoder designed for processing image data utilizes ViT (Vision Transformer), Deit (Data-efficient Image Transformer), and BeIT (Image Transformers). The reasoning module of VQA was updated and layer normalization was incorporated to enhance the performance outcome of our effort. In comparison to the results of previous research, our proposed method suggests a substantial enhancement in efficacy. Our experiment obtained a 60.4% accuracy with the PathVQA dataset and a 69.2% accuracy with the VizWiz dataset.
Background
Enhancing maize grain yield in tropical regions faces significant challenges due to variability in agroclimate, soil conditions, and agroecosystems. Understanding genotype (G) by environment (E) interaction (GEI) in plant breeding is crucial for selecting and developing high-yielding genotypes adapted to diverse environments.
Methods
Ten maize hybrids, including eight candidates and two commercial varieties, were evaluated across ten environments in Indonesia using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The GEI effect and yield stability were assessed using stability statistics, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction model (AMMI), and genotype + genotype × environment (GGE) biplot methods.
Results and Discussion
Analysis of variance revealed a significant GEI effect, indicating differences in hybrid responses for grain yield (GY), allowing for stability analysis. G01 showed the highest GY based on the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) across environments. Correlation analysis indicated strong associations between stability statistics ( YS i and S ⁽⁶ ⁾ ) and GY, aiding in the selection of high-yielding hybrids. The integration of AMMI with the BLUP method, and weighted average of absolute scores (WAASB), enabled precise measurement of genotype stability. Overall, G01 (R0211), G04 (R0105), G05 (R0118), and G07 (R0641) emerged as high-yielding, stable hybrids based on stability statistics, AMMI, GGE biplot, and WAASB rankings. These hybrids offer promising candidates for maize genetic improvement programs in tropical regions.
Despite ongoing social progress, criminal acts remain unpredictable, and the rise in various offenses has heightened public concern. Criminality forms a cyclical challenge to legal norms, often creating a sense of permanence. Criminal law must adapt as societies evolve, necessitating continuous legal reform and contextual alignment. Sexual violence, particularly prevalent in Indonesia, profoundly impacts families, communities, workplaces, and educational institutions. A high incidence of Online-Based Sexual Violence (OBSV), harassment, and rape disproportionately affects women. The legal ambiguity surrounding the interpretation of “power relations” and the concept of grooming in sexual violence cases leads to an unclear legal framework, diminishing justice for victims. This study employs a conceptual approach and hermeneutic analysis to clarify these terms, aiming to enhance understanding of how gender inequality and social constructs shape interpretations of power dynamics and grooming in physical sexual harassment cases. By addressing these complexities, the study seeks to advance authentic comprehension of the power imbalances at play in sexual violence incidents.
Modern digital and telecommunication technologies have been and will continue to be factors in the emergence of innovative products such as the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) called Rupiah Digital. However, the plan to issue Digital Rupiah is not without problems. Primarily, the problem is related to the clarity of the legal status of Digital Rupiah as a legal tender. Using normative legal research methods, this study finds that Article 23B of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia has not explicitly regulated digital currencies. There is a rechtsvacuum of the legal tender status of Digital Rupiah at the constitutional level. Besides legally, no regulations regarding status of legal tender of Digital Rupiah in its equality with Paper (bank notes) and Metal Rupiah. However, this research has found a new Act supporting the status and legality of legal tender of Digital Rupiah. The legal theory that navigated the findings of CBDC’s legal regulatory framework is the Dignified Justice theory. Under the Dignified Justice theory, despite the inevitable need for comparative law, Pancasila must still be the source of all legal sources for the existence of the Digital Rupiah.
Small and medium-sized fish salting enterprises are the focus of this study, which also looks at the benefits and challenges of halal certification and its relationship to business value. Applying the observation method and statistical and descriptive research approaches, the study identifies a lack of knowledge, budgetary constraints, and inadequate aid from stakeholders as the three main obstacles that these small and medium enterprises (SMEs) confront. Despite these limitations, the study highlights the potential of halal certification to improve product quality, boost customer confidence, and increase market competitiveness, particularly in relation to the growing Muslim consumer market. Halal certification can provide significant advantages; not only does it ensure compliance with Islamic dietary requirements and cater to the growing Muslim market, but it also improves product quality, instils consumer trust and loyalty, and boosts market competitiveness. The study’s theoretical value enhances the knowledge-attitude-behavior model paradigm. Realistically, it lays out the steps that local SMEs may take to become certified and reap the benefits of doing so. Despite the study’s regional emphasis, its suggestions are generalizable to other areas. Future studies should investigate the financial performance of halal-certified and non-certified fish-salting enterprises, for instance.
This study is founded on the assumption that food safety must be ensured in all food products, including salted fish, particularly in terms of heavy metal levels. Salted fish, which poses considerable hazards to food safety during processing, is an attractive issue for investigation, especially when seen through the lens of economic value, which has not been well addressed in prior studies. This study used both experimental methods and literature reviews to examine the heavy metal content of raw salted fish and its link to economic value from the perspectives of both business actors and customers. This study utilized laboratory testing using the 18-13-14/MU/SMM-SIG (ICP MS) methodology. The factors examined in this study were arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, and tin. The analysed samples were raw salted fish from a fish salting company in Kali Baru Cilincing, North Jakarta. This study examines these findings in terms of economic value, combining methodologies from various earlier studies. The findings show that all measures of heavy metal level in raw salted fish examined were still within the required limits. This is an essential economic determinant, as is the selling value of salted fish produced by small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
This article presents the main argument that in the Indonesian context, biblical theology should be able to play a crucial role not only in the church and academic spheres but also, and more importantly, in the wider society by overturning the hegemony of colonialism in biblical theology and developing postcolonial biblical theology in the actual context of Indonesia. In undergirding this argument, the article first puts forward the situation of biblical theology in scientific and societal discourse in general and in the Indonesian context in particular. The findings in this analysis are followed by an explanation of the importance of developing a horizon in elaborating biblical theology in the Indonesian context informed by seven distinguishing public issues in Indonesian society. Biblical theology must be encouraged to penetrate the public sphere. In elaborating on biblical theology in the Indonesian context, postcolonial studies are highly significant in connecting biblical theology and the Indonesian context.
Thumb traumatic injuries are incredibly common in hand injuries. The thumb is essential to hand function in order to do daily tasks like gripping, holding, opposing, circumducting, and movements. As a result, compared to injuries to other fingers, a thumb injury significantly impairs hand function. Traumas can cause soft tissue loss linked to vascular injuries that require revascularization. Replantation is the surgical treatment most frequently suggested to patients who have had their thumbs amputated in an attempt to restore function and attractiveness. There are alternative reconstructive techniques, such as skin grafting or local, distal, and free flaps, when replantation of the severed segment is not feasible. Reconstruction techniques vary depending on where the amputation occurred and include transfer site reconstruction and homodigital and heterodigital flaps. We reported a case of a woman who has a right traumatic thumb injury due to blender accident. Primary suturing and debridement were done to save the thumb. But after several days, the thumb was necrotic and not viable. Heterodigital island flap from the right middle finger was chosen. Radial forearm skin was grafted to cover the middle finger defect. This gave satisfactory results. Wound healing was quite good, but there were signs of scar tissue growth after several months of follow-up. The function and mobility of the thumb and hand were also achieved well through the QuickDASH (quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) score. Heterodigital flap provides satisfactory results both aesthetically and functionally in traumatic thumb injury cases.
This research investigates the revolutionary influence of Software Defined Networks (SDNs) on traditional network architectures, focusing particularly on their role in mitigating Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Conventional network setups involve intermediary devices managing both control and data planes, directing network packets. SDNs, however, centralize control functions onto dedicated controllers, effectively segregating control and data planes within network devices. DDoS attacks, orchestrated by distributed networks of compromised computers, aim to disrupt network resources, resulting in abnormal behavior and system incapacitation. This study employs network simulation utilizing SDN technology to evaluate parameters such as CPU load, traffic distribution, and server connections during DoS attacks. The findings suggest that leveraging the SDN Controller for load balancing can enhance the reliability of networks facing DoS attacks. Increased server deployment for managing the attack correlates with reduced packet losses, thus improving the overall reliability of the service provided.
For the development of green magnetic-based immunoassay devices, the rapid and reliable assay method of eco-friendly magnetic labels with a lower energy requirement is vital. This work proposes a green-synthesized Fe3O4@Ag magnetic label assay system using GMR chips and a simple microcontroller-based data acquisition tool. Optical analysis shows the successful synthesis of Fe3O4@Ag with the assistance of Moringa oleifera (MO) extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Meanwhile, according to characterization, MO-assisted green-synthesized Fe3O4@Ag nanocomposites feature cubic inverse spinel structures and ferromagnetic characteristics that possess multi-domain structures. The sensor system generates an intense signal, varying from tens to hundreds of millivolts, allowing for its detection using a simple microcontroller system. The sensor exhibits a stable and reliable response to the increase in the concentration of Fe3O4@Ag nanocomposite, even though it is subjected to weak magnetic field induction. Furthermore, the introduction of Ag on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles succeeded in optimizing the detection features, as evidenced by the lower limit of detection compared to detecting the bare Fe3O4. The GMR-based sensor, featuring a simple microcontroller structure and an eco-friendly Fe3O4@Ag nanocomposite as a magnetic label, exhibits significant potential as a rapid and reliable green biosensor that is power-efficient.
This research aims to analyze the effects of community-based tourism and consumer satisfaction on tourism sustainability in Breksi Cliff Park, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Statistical power and arrows were used to determine the minimum sample size. A total of 299 responses were collected for statistical analysis. A simple mediation model was employed, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS. The results show that the local community, food, superstructure, and natural environment have positive and significant effect on the consumer satisfaction. Further, local culture, entertainment, superstructure, and consumer satisfaction have positive and significant effect on the tourism sustainability. However, the local culture has negative effect on the tourism sustainability. In addition, the mediation of local community, natural environment, local food, and local superstructure strengthens the effect of consumer satisfaction on the tourism sustainability. These findings are expected to contribute to the government’s decision-making on community-based tourism and tourism sustainability, and highlight possible actions that the government and policymakers can take to realize sustainable tourism. The government needs to foster local culture performance, especially in renewing local culture property. The government also needs to maintain and improve the uniqueness of local food, reliefs on the Breksi Cliff walls, and local entertainment (regular special events).
Introduction
Haglund’s deformity is an abnormal bony enlargement of posterosuperior part of calcaneus at the attachment of achilles tendon which often leads to retrocalcaneal bursitis and insertional achilles tendinopathy (Haglund’s syndrome) causing back heel pain. Arthroscopic calcaneoplasty, synovectomy and PRP injection should be considered as minimally invasive treatment option with speedy recovery.
Case Report
A 57 years old woman came with pain and lump at posterior site of left ankle more than right ankle since 6 months before that didn’t respond conservatively. Pain was felt with pressure on left ankle with edema. AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score was 65%. X-Ray and MRI showed Haglund’s deformity with achilles tendon impingement. The patient was diagnosed with Haglund’s deformity, retrocalcaneal bursitis and achilles tendinopathy. Arthroscopic calcaneoplasty, synovectomy and PRP injection was then conducted. One week after operation, pain decreased and she could do daily activities better with AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score increased to 87%. Two weeks after operation, pain was still felt but seldom with AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score remain at 87%.
Result and Discussion
Haglund’s syndrome is mostly idiopathic with several factors suggested. Clinical features are back heel pain, swelling, bump on posterior heel and inflammation signs. Dorsiflexion causes pain of the ankle. Lateral radiographic can show bony prominence at posterosuperior of calcaneus, calcaneal spur and bone formation at achilles tendon insertion. MRI can additionally show synovitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis and achilles tendinopathy. Conservative treatment is often used to treat Haglund’s syndrome, if it doesn’t respond well then surgical treatment is required. Arthroscopic calcaneoplasty with synovectomy has better outcome compared to open surgery. PRP injection can be added to enhance achilles tendinopathy healing. The AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score used is a standardized evaluation which combine subjective and objective information from the patient and the physician, in which a healthy ankle scored 100. In this case, the AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score increased significantly from 65% pre-operative to 87% post-operative which shows better functional outcome.
Conclusion
Treatment of Haglund’s deformity, retrocalcaneal bursitis and achilles tendinopathy with arthroscopic calcaneoplasty, synovectomy and PRP injection should be considered to produce good functional outcome based on AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score..
Water is an important resource to sustain the life of human being and the optimal functioning of ecosystem. The growth of human population together with the anthropogenic activities have put a pressure on this resource, emerging issues on water security to the fore. Although some studies provided insights on the water management, the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) role in supporting water management sector are still limited. This paper seeks to explain the potential role of IoT in managing water resource in order to increase water security of Indonesia. The paper is structured into three parts which include the exploration on the water usage in Indonesia for agriculture and food production, the case-based exploration to identify factors affecting water security in Indonesia, and the exploration of IoT in managing water resource. In Indonesia, water usage for food production accounted for 80%. The water security in irrigation aspect, was found to be moderate to low, similar to the urban water security, while the resilience on water disaster of the people still need to build. The strategies to achieve water security in Indonesia consists of the aspect of water management to provide water to all people inclusively, which include both technical aspect and governance. Another aspect is building the capacity of the people to be able to mitigate, to adapt, and to be resilient in coping the water-related disaster. The use of IoT by the synergy of Arduino and Big Data, particularly in the field of hydroinformatics, using Apache Hadoop system promises significant improvement of water management and governance.
Background
Fecal incontinence (FI) is the inability to control bowel movements, resulting in fecal leakage. If left untreated, FI can seriously impact the long-term well-being of individuals affected. Recently, using secretome has become a promising new treatment method. The secretome combines growth factors released outside cells during stem cell development, such as mesenchymal stem cells. It consists of soluble proteins, nucleic acids, fats, and extracellular vesicles, which contribute to different cell processes. The primary aim is to assess the impact of hypoxic secretome administration on accelerating wound healing through the HIF-1α pathway in a post-sphincterotomy rat model.
Methods
The study was conducted with two distinct groups of 10 rats each, the control and treatment groups, which were injected with hypoxic secretome at 0.3 mL. The inclusion criteria for the rats were as follows: male gender, belonging to the Sprague-Dawley strain, aged between 12 to 16 weeks, with an average body weight ranging from 240 to 250 grams.
Results
There was an increase in HIF-1α gene expression in both groups. The treatment group 37 was significantly higher on day 42 (p = 0.001). VEGF increased significantly in the treatment 38 group on day 42 (p = 0.015). The neovascularization score increased significantly in the treatment 39 group during the first 24 hours (p = 0.004). The fibroblast score increased significantly in the 40 treatment group in the first 24 hours (p = 0.000) and 42 days (p = 0.035). After being given secretome, there was a higher increase in % collagen area and collagen area (µm²) in the treatment group compared to the control group (27,77 vs 11.01) and (419.027,66 vs 186.694,16).
Conclusion
The use of hypoxic secretome has a significant effect as a choice for the treatment of anal sphincter injury after sphincterotomy through the HIF-1α-VEGF-Fibroblast pathway.
Purpose
Rope bamboo (Gigantochloa apus) is traditionally used for medicinal purposes, and extracts from stem leaves and shoots have been shown to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, this study looked at the potential compounds present in and the usefulness of Rope bamboo liquid smoke preparations in the wound healing process in mice.
Methods
The fingerprinting of the liquid smoke was done by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. In-vivo experiments were conducted to observe the diameter and percentage of wound healing in mice for 14 days using topical formulations containing liquid smoke concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25%, positive control and negative control. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Kruskal–Wallis test and Spearman correlation.
Results
The phytochemical fingerprint showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, vitamins, phenols, and lipids. The 100% undiluted liquid smoke accelerated wound healing faster compared to 50% and 25% dilutions. The differences in wound diameters were statistically significant across treatments having a p-value of 0.020 and dose-dependent (p = 0.029).
Conclusion
Liquid smoke acceleration of the wound healing process was dose-dependent compared to controls. This dose-dependency indicates that the wound healing effects were probably due to the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of the elucidated constituents of Rope bamboo liquid smoke.
Emotions are psychophysiological states of mind that present themselves as positive or negative responses to external and internal stimuli in humans. Brainwave data offers unbiased insights into an individual's immediate emotional and cognitive reactions to music, enabling highly customized recommendations. Song has long been a popular medium for conveying human emotions as an alternative to other forms of communication. A brainwave-based recommendation system can accurately detect and suggest music that facilitates relaxation, mitigates stress, and improves overall well-being. This article uses a brainwave instrument in conjunction with Android Studio to construct mobile phone software, and it employs Bluetooth transfer to electroencephalographic (EEG) on the phone screen to assess the emotional impacts of various types of music on the brain. Using a brainwave mind lamp, we can show the brain changing color in response to wave data. The objective of this study is to examine the specific genres of music that can induce relaxation in individuals of different genders (male and female). Additionally, the project seeks to assess the impact of music on emotional regulation and measure the user's emotional control using a brainwave mind lamp. Based on the results of our investigation, we can summarize the findings as follows: Listening to calm music, nervous music, and sad music can help male users feel more relaxed in their daily lives. Female listeners can achieve a higher level of relaxation by listening to genres such as classical, electronic, joyful, and nature-inspired music. Integrating brainwave analysis into a gender-based music recommendation system improves customization, precision, and emotional impact.
