Despite the advanced development of technology has played a critical role in promoting a global community for people around the globe, it has been paid little attention in the literature that explores teachers' and students' readiness to become part of the digital citizenship particularly in the Indonesian education context. It is thus the objective of the present study to examine Indonesian teachers' and students’ perception and their level of digital citizenship. Using a non-probability sampling technique, a total of 157 participants participated in the survey, including 39 teachers and 118 students. Many participants were from vocational-secondary schools (N = 58) and non-vocational secondary schools (N = 99). However, after a screening process, of 157 datasets, only 98 data were used for the quantitative data analysis using the Rasch modelling. Rasch modelling method was used for the quantitative data analysis. The findings of the current study revealed that teachers and students had a high-level level of digital citizenship. The teacher and student participants also had a positive view digital citizenship. However, although teachers and students perceived that the internet had helped them develop an understanding of political and social issues, they were reported to have fewer political activities online. They were reluctant to discuss political and social issues in the online community. Findings also showed that the participants' political activity was statistically different in reference to their age, although teachers and students were shown to have a similar level of digital citizenship. Recommendations were thus offered based on the findings.

The digital gaming community appreciates visual style information in digital games as it facilitates information seeking. Nevertheless, learned scholars have discovered that the digital game visual style classification is inconsistent and easily modified, potentially limitingthe information and leading to inaccurate visual terminologies during information discovery. Therefore, this cross-sectional study wasperformed to assess multiple visual style classification terms and their definitions among Malaysian game developers using the closedcard sorting exercise. A total of seven professional game developers participated in an online survey that comprised thirty-five digital game case studies using a card sorting technique. They were asked to classify nineteen visual style classification terms, including psychedelic, text, illusionism, photorealism, televisualism, handicraft, caricature, celshaded, comic book (anime), watercolour, Lego, minimalism, pixel art, silhouette, bright, dark, maplike, colourful, and black and white. The Fleiss’ kappa intercoder reliability assessment was performed to measure the coders’ agreement on visual style classification, followed by the think-aloud protocol descriptive analysis to gather assessment insights into the visual style descriptions. The intercoder reliability test achieved a significantly moderate agreement based on the results. The professional game developers agreed on eighteen visual stylesand rejected the bright visual style classification due to its overlapping description with the colourful visual style. The definition of ten visual style classifications was improved from the existing Video Game Metadata Schema (VGMS) description, contributing to the digital game’s coherence and consistency. This improvement will enhance visual style classification information for machine-learning-based recommendation systems for digital game distribution platforms and digital archiving.

Organizing a job fair is one of the steps to bridge the needs of companies in finding workers and the needs of job seekers to find work. Creative Media State Polytechnic (Polimedia) as a vocational college provides support to alumni to get decent jobs and according to their fields of expertise. In accordance with one of the Main Performance Indicators (KPI) of higher education, namely graduates get decent jobs [1]. However, currently Polimedia does not have a system that supports the implementation of the job fair or is still done manually. Research with the theme of developing virtual job fair information systems based on augmented reality and virtual reality has two objectives. The first objective is to develop an information system that assists the process of posting job vacancies and allows users to register for available vacancies. Then the second is to facilitate virtual job fairs. Because apart from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, holding a virtual job fair can be a distinct advantage for alumni who are looking for work because they can significantly save transportation and accommodation costs. The system development methodology used is the System Development Lyfe Cycle (SDLC) with the waterfall method. The waterfall method is divided into five stages, namely the analysis, design, implementation, testing and support stages. The design phase uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML), namely use case diagrams and entity relationship diagrams, while the implementation phase of augmented reality uses 3D modeling, markers and interface adjustments. In addition, the design of augmented reality and virtual reality applications uses the A-FRAME framework.

Spray dryer had long been used to dry liquid materials and produce dry crystalline products. However, the drying of the bittern to produce quality salt crystals has not been widely published. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of drying conditions of the bittern using a spray dryer to produce salt with a high natrium chloride (NaCl) content. Drying was carried out in the hot air temperature (105–125 °C), drying air flow rate (25–45 ml/min), feed flow rate (20–30 ml/min), and concentration of maltodextrin (10–30%). The parameters were observed water content, NaCl content, yield, and mean particle diameter size (MPDS). The results showed that the inlet air temperature of 125 °C can significantly reduce the water content faster and produce higher NaCl levels than the inlet air temperature of 105 °C. The salt crystals produced at higher maltodextrin concentrations have lower water content and high NaCl content. The best-operating conditions are at a hot air temperature of 125 °C, a drying airflow rate of 45 m/s, and a maltodextrin concentration of 25% because it produces salt crystals with high NaCl content. Overall, these results indicate that the bittern can be dried using a spray dryer with potential NaCl content as a raw material for the pharmaceutical industry.

In late December 2019 it took the world by storm by transmitting very quickly through the human respiratory tract. Since this happened the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that Covid-19 is called a pandemic. The Covid-19 outbreak affects almost all aspects of life, including the aspect of education in Indonesia, which is also not spared from the Covid-19 outbreak and also feels the consequences of the spread of the virus. Students feel the impact of the spread of Covid-19 such as changes in the provision of services in educational institutions, such as formal education at all levels, non-formal education, to academics (Baety and Munandar 2021). Based on the announcement of the Ministry of Education and Culture Number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education Policies during the Emergency Period of the Spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19). The government began to implement an online learning system (online). The problem that arises during this online learning period is that there are still many people who are not ready to face technology, both in terms of teachers and students, this happened in the early days of the pandemic. So that the learning process that has been carried out normally, both in terms of teaching and providing assessments, also experiences obstacles. This is because the teaching staff (teachers) always have daily assessment data that is usually carried out daily during normal learning. However, during this PJJ period, teachers became confused about giving daily assessments to their students. The purpose of the research is to analyze and evaluate the online learning system using a platform that is easy to operate by teachers and can be accessed anywhere, namely, google form. In the Google Form application, there is an automatic calculation system in the form of student feedback where teachers do not bother to manually calculate the results of student learning evaluations (Munawaroh, Prastowo, and Nurjanah 2021). The analysis method used is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which is able to find out the attitudes of users towards the technology used, so that teachers can easily find out whether the tasks given to students are done by the students themselves, not the help of parents.

A closer inspection shows that the granular heap slopes are not truly straight. Instead, more often they have convex shapes. Here, we show that the granular heap slopes, in general, are convex (curved downwards). This prediction is in accordance with the results of measurements on 10 types of granular heaps. The model answers why the surfaces of granular heaps, including desert sand dunes, are more often convex than straight. We also predict the existence of a critical grain size, where the repose angle is 90° at the critical size and is undefined if the grain size is less than the critical size. The critical grain size estimated by the present model is consistent with the experimental results of previous researchers. This model also advocates the simultaneous estimation of the coefficient of friction on the grain and type of packing in the heap. Graphical abstract

Student behaviour is an activity carried out by students for each individual. Students who visit campus journal websites are essential in terms of journal accreditation aspects, where this is a benchmark for increasing the journal's potential as a reference. However, some factors influence it where the frequency of students visiting campus journal websites is not as expected in exploring journals, and the enthusiasm of students to download articles is still below the desired expectations. This causes the potential for the journal to obtain national accreditation at a small percentage, and students may think that there are very few reference sources for journals, so it is less attractive on the campus journal website system. Data collection methods were used in this study, such as interviews, literature study, and questionnaires. Meanwhile, to evaluate the campus journal website system on student behaviour using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with four variables: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward using, and behavioural intention to use. This method makes the user feel it is easier to access the campus journal website; then, the user feels the campus journal website can provide benefits and usability. The user has a great curiosity to access the campus journal, and finally, the user wants to access the website and take the initiative to influence. other users in to access the same
