Samsung uses wearable technology to create a more interactive advertising experience that is integrated with users’ daily routines. Although this strategy has been successful in various international markets, it is still unclear how Samsung’s wearable technology-based campaigns are received by Indonesian consumers, who have unique cultural characteristics and preferences. This phenomenon reflects the gap between the rapid adoption of wearable technology and its use in ineffective marketing strategies. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the use of wearable technology in Samsung’s digital advertising campaigns on consumer engagement in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative method with a case study approach. The population of the study was all Samsung wearable technology users. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with predetermined criteria, and the sample calculation used the Cochran formula. Data analysis in this study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) testing using SmartPLS. The results of this study indicate that wearable technology plays an important role in increasing consumer engagement with Samsung's digital advertising campaigns in Indonesia. This study also found that the perception of the quality of wearable technology functions as a partial mediation between the frequency of use and consumer engagement, indicating that positive perceptions of the quality of wearable technology can strengthen the impact of using the technology. For further research, it is recommended that this study be expanded by considering other factors that may influence consumer engagement, such as perceived privacy risks or data security concerns associated with the use of wearable technology.
A marriage is considered valid if it complies with religious law and is registered with the state (Law No. 1/1974). However, many unregistered marriages (nikah siri) are religiously valid but not legally recognized, resulting in children losing legal rights such as birth certificates and inheritance. This study analyzes the legal status of children born from nikah siri, their legal protection, implementation challenges, and effective legal solutions. This research employs a normative legal method with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data is collected through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. A descriptive-analytical approach is used to understand the legal protection of children from unregistered marriages and to formulate regulatory improvements to safeguard children's rights in accordance with Indonesian law. Children born from unregistered marriages (nikah siri) face legal uncertainty, particularly regarding inheritance and financial support. Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 allows children to have a civil relationship with their biological father if proven legally. Legal protection includes birth certificates, recognition of lineage, financial support rights, and legal advocacy. Social, economic, and bureaucratic challenges can be addressed through education, administrative reforms, and improved legal access. Children from unregistered marriages face legal uncertainty.

Pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials are increasingly recognized in civil engineering for their exceptional properties, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication, making them ideal for composite structural applications. The use of concrete infill enhances the structural integrity of thin-walled GFRP sections and compensates for the low elastic modulus of hollow profiles. Despite the widespread adoption of concrete-filled pultruded GFRP tubes in composite beams, critical gaps remain in understanding their flexural behavior and failure mechanisms, particularly concerning design optimization and manufacturing strategies to mitigate failure modes. This paper provides a comprehensive review of experimental and numerical studies that investigate the impact of key parameters, such as concrete infill types, reinforcement strategies, bonding levels, and GFRP tube geometries, on the flexural performance and failure behavior of concrete-filled pultruded GFRP tubular members in composite beam applications. The analysis includes full-scale GFRP beam studies, offering a thorough comparison of documented flexural responses, failure modes, and structural performance outcomes. The findings are synthesized to highlight current trends, identify research gaps, and propose strategies to advance the understanding and application of these composite systems. The paper concludes with actionable recommendations for future research, emphasizing the development of innovative material combinations, optimization of structural designs, and refinement of numerical modeling techniques.
The precise quantification of cerebral hemorrhage volume assumes paramount significance, given its consequential impact on subsequent medical interventions. While antecedent scholarly endeavors have undertaken cerebral hemorrhage volume computations, the attendant accuracy remains amenable to refinement. The main contribution to this research is the development of a rectangle algorithm using the Otsu method, which can be used to calculate the total volume of brain hemorrhage in CT-Scan images of the human brain. The present investigation seeks to augment the segmentation paradigm inherent to the Otsu method, thereby advancing the precision of cerebral hemorrhage volume assessments. The Otsu method is conceived with the purpose of automating the segmentation of the hemorrhagic domain through the determination of threshold values. The refinement of the Otsu method’s accuracy is effectuated by the formulation of an algorithm aimed at maximizing the mean discrepancy between object and background intensities within the object image, predicated upon the ascertained threshold values. These determined thresholds subsequently govern the transformation of grayscale images into binary format, achieved through the quotient of the threshold value and the mean variance, thereby amplifying segmentation precision. The incorporation of variance and mean values in the binarization of grayscale images affords adaptability in threshold modulation commensurate with the intensity spectrum of the image. The research corpus leverages CT-Scan images sourced from RSUP M. Djamil Padang, West Sumatra, encompassing a compendium of 100 image slices culled from a quintet of patients. Empirical findings attest to the fortification of the Otsu method in the segmentation milieu, substantiating the augmentation of threshold value accuracy. This enhancement is conspicuously manifest in the outcomes of segmentation tests, underscoring the superior efficacy of the Otsu method in discerning between objects and backgrounds. The corollary effect is a discernibly more accurate computation of volumes employing the Otsu-T methodology. The import of this research rests in its successful establishment of automated threshold values and the concomitant elevation of segmentation precision.
Banking performance has developed rapidly accompanied by technological advances that can simplify banking services and transactions by adopting a priority scale aimed at identifying dynamically moving stock price returns and exploring banking quality and capacity as a manifestation of well-organized bank performance. This research aims to determine the effect of bank performance on stock price returns in European high-income countries. The analysis of the panel data method using the Common Effect Model (CEM) approach is considered capable of answering the objectives of this research. Research data were obtained from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund for 10 European countries (Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK) from 2002 to 2021. The research results prove that return on assets significantly affects stock price returns, while bank deposits to GDP, bank branches per 100,000 adults, and bank Z-score do not significantly affect stock returns. The control variables: exchange rate and interest rates do not significantly affect stock prices. The results of this research provide empirical evidence that bank performance through return on assets tends to have a positive impact on share price returns, which indicates that investors pay attention to this indicator. These findings underline the importance of bank management, and macroeconomic conditions and monetary policy must be considered in a broader context to provide long-term benefits for shareholders through overall market trust mechanisms so that high stock price returns can be achieved.
