The invasion of nipah (Nypa fructicans) occurred in the Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF), Indonesia, as a result of mangrove forest degradation caused by anthropogenic activities in the area. This research aims to analyze the distribution of nipah populations in the ATPF and at the same time describe the benefits and potential of nipah both in the ATPF and in various regions in the world. The data collected in this research consists of two types, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through field surveys in the ATPF area, while secondary data was obtained through literature studies of relevant research results. Nipah populations can be widely distributed in degraded mangrove forest ecosystems and invade areas outside their natural habitat because they have high adaptability to the environment, high seed productivity and effective and adaptive seed distribution. Even though the spread of nipah in the ecosystem can hinder the succession of mangrove forests, it turns out that nipah has great benefits for the community and contains important compounds that are useful for making foods, drinks and medicine..

Effective communication is necessary for the success of construction project performance. Due to its nature, effective communication is required to coordinate all parties involved in construction projects such as owners, project managers, engineers, subcontractors, etc. Few previous studies have addressed the issues of construction project communication, particularly in the communication planning stage. This paper aimed to investigate how far the communication planning has been effectively implemented in several construction projects in Jakarta and measure how big the influence to project performance. It adopts a quantitative method by distributing questionnaire surveys to contractors and consultants in Jakarta. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data which presents that communication planning has been implemented by 78.02 % of the responses and significantly impact the project performances. This paper offers useful implications for practitioners on how construction project teams (from contractors and consultants) should carefully manage the communication process particularly during its planning stage.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) M4, M5, and M7 are subtypes of leukemia derived from myeloid cell derivatives that influences the results of the identification of AMLs, which includes myeloblast, monoblast, and megakaryoblast. Furthermore, they are divided into more specific types, including myeloblasts, promyelocytes, monoblasts, promonocytes, monocytes, and megakaryoblasts, which must be clearly identified in order to further calculate the ratio value in the blood. Therefore, this research aims to classify these cell types using the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Three distance metrics are tested, namely, Euclidean, Chebychev, and Minkowski, and both the weighted and unweighted were tested. The features used as parameters are area, nucleus ratio, circularity, perimeter, mean, and standard deviation, and about 1,450 objects are used as training and testing data. In addition, to ensure that the classification is not overfitting, K-fold cross validation was conducted. The results show that the unweighted Minkowski distance acquired about 240 of 290 objects at K = 19, which is the best. Therefore, the unweighted Minkowski distance is selected for further analysis. The accuracy, recall, and precision values of KNN with unweighted Minkowski distance obtained from fivefold cross validation are 80.552, 44.145, and 42.592%, respectively.

The common phenomena during liquefaction are the lateral displacement and settlement of saturated soil deposits. These phenomena have the potential damage to the toll road construction where this research is taking place. Toll road projects in Mungkid and Candimulyo Districts, Central Java, Indonesia must be evaluated for lateral displacement and settlement. The study area is located in volcanic deposits originating from Mount Merapi and Merbabu, with shallow groundwater level in some location, and a history big seismicity. PGA value at the research location was calculated using webpage application from Lini Binamarga. This study aims to calculate liquefaction severity using LSI method, lateral spreading using LDI method, and the ground settlement using reconsolidation settlement method with various moment magnitude scenarios. LSI in Candimulyo and Mungkid District are 17.77 (low severity) and 9.68 (very low severity), respectively. Candimulyo and Mungkid Districts experienced the greatest lateral spreading of 3.84 m and 1.87 m. Also, Candimulyo and Mungkid Districts have the largest settlement by 0.42 m in the extensive damage category and 0.15 m in the medium damage category. Based on this assessment, it is necessary to investigate the mitigation required to reduce lateral spreading and settlement caused by liquefaction.

A seismic event of magnitude 7.5 Mw took place in Central Sulawesi in September 2018, marking a significant occurrence in the geological hazard chronicles of Indonesia. The occurrence of liquefaction subsequent to the earthquake significantly damaged the water resource infrastructure in the Sigi Regency. This study aims to evaluate the possible soil displacement resulting from re-liquefaction events occurring in the main irrigation canals in the Jono Oge and Lolu regions. The study used semi-empirical and finite element analysis to compute the lateral displacement index and reconsolidation settlement within the designated study region. The examination of soil displacement is conducted under various groundwater level scenarios, utilizing the most recent soil investigation conducted in 2021. The findings of the study indicate that raising the groundwater level to -3.5 meters will result in significant soil and irrigation canal damage. In the future, it is suggested that limiting the groundwater level below -11 meters in the primary irrigation canal area might effectively mitigate soil lateral displacement and settlement.

In Indonesia's liquefaction history, the province of Central Sulawesi was severely affected in several locations when a 7.5 Mw earthquake occurred in September 2018. This study aims to evaluate the liquefaction potential and generate the liquefaction hazard map in the reconstruction project of the Gumbasa Irrigation Canals passed through Jono Oge Village and Lolu Village, closely related to the liquefaction event in the Sigi Regency area. Using the simplified procedure method by Idriss and Boulanger, the Liquefaction Factor of Safety (FOS) was calculated for each layer of soil from thirteen (13) locations of soil investigation test at the end of 2021 by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. Furthermore, it was followed by calculating the Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI) and Liquefaction Severity Index (LSI). The analysis results show that the construction work area has the liquefaction potential with the observed groundwater level. It is mapped on irrigation canals along the Jono Oge Village and Lolu Village to know the critical segment of the irrigation project. Hereafter, an irrigation canal segment named BGKN-45 to BGKN-46 in Jono Oge required a specific mitigation plan to prevent damage from liquefaction in the future.

The karst hills of Gombong Selatan have abundant potential water resources, especially in locations that have underground springs and rivers. The connectivity between the subsurface passageways that is difficult to know can threaten the potential of water resources, one of which is due to pollution caused by uncontrolled human activities. Therefore, identification of catchment systems and boundaries of water catchment areas in karst aquifers is needed that can contribute to sustainable water resources management policies. This catchment identification needs to be conducted because previous studies have never explored the eastern side of this karst area. This study aims to (1) define the underground river flow connectivity (upstream-downstream) of Banteng Cave; and (2) limiting the water catchment area of Banteng Cave. The method used to determine the subsurface connectivity system was carried out through an artificial tracer test, while the catchment area was delineated using a water balance approach. The results showed that the underground river of Banteng Cave has connectivity with Lake Blembeng, as evidenced by a change in watercolour after the tracer test and breakthrough curve (BTC) analysis of the tracing test results. BTC analysis shows that the Banteng Cave passageway has one main passage and does not have a tunnel branch. The estimated area of the Banteng Cave catchment used a water balance approach, which is 141.73 hectares. The Banteng Cave karst catchment conditions are dominated by the formation of valleys and karst cones accompanied by the appearance of valleys and karst hills that are quite evenly distributed, indicating that the Banteng Cave karst catchment is included in the advanced karst development phase. Furthermore, this research contributes significantly to increase knowledge regarding the characteristics of void karst development in aquifers which in the future are very important for determining water resources management policies.

In the medium to high seismic zone, prestressed hollow concrete (PHC) pile for structural foundation should be designed with elastic behavior due to low ductility and dissipated energy. However, some Indonesian practical engineer has chosen PHC pile for pile-supported slab viaduct (PSSV) with medium seismic moment-resisting frame concept in a high-risk earthquake zone. Therefore, some nonlinear numerical simulations of PSSV structure in medium to high seismic zone need to be conducted to investigate its seismic performance. In the initial stage, a numerical model for investigating the seismic performance of PHC pile under flexural test was conducted. By implementing an appropriate plastic hinge length of forced beam-column with hinge elements, the flexural behavior of PHC piles to be simulated under both monotonic and cyclic loading. The fiber section was adopted to accommodate non-linear behaviour of material in the PHC pile cross section. As the results, the skeleton curves, the sectional strain distributions, and the hysteresis curves have good agreement results compared with the experimental results. Furthermore, based on the equal damping ratio calculation of the hysteresis curve, the PHC pile only achieve low energy dissipation, though the ductility capacity around 3. Finally, this numerical model approach could be adopted in the non-linear simulation of PSSV structure under seismic load.

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has disrupted the movement of MSME actors in running their businesses. The use of online media – especially social media – is considered by many to be the main impact of a business strategy orientation that focuses on competitive and innovative strategies to improve business performance. For this reason, this study aims to prove whether there is an influence between strategic orientation on the use of online media and social media and to prove the use of online media and social media on MSME business performance in the city of Palembang. To test the hypothesis, a sample of 160 (80percent) MSME entrepreneurs in Palembang were polled, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis of Partial Least Squares (PLS) was performed using Warp PLS software version 5.0. The results showed that the strategic orientation of MSME entrepreneurs in the city of Palembang had a positive effect on the use of online media and social media in their business activities. The research findings also show that the use of online media, particularly social media, has a positive effect on the achievement of their business performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leakage or seepage in reservoirs and dams has the potential for structural instabilities persuaded by water leakage pathways and linked to economic consequences. An environmental isotopic and hydrochemical research was conducted to determine the source and origin of seepages on the tunnel of Pandanduri dam, Lombok Island, Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the source of the tunnel leak on the dam site and the origin or source of water at the point of leakage based on water chemistry data and stable isotopes. To identify the source of the leakage water in the tunnel dam, 33 samples of the leakage water, groundwater, reservoir water, river water, and rainfall water were taken for chemical and isotopic composition analysis. The field measured the reservoir level, spring discharges, and physicochemical parameters (EC, pH, TDS, TSS). The physicochemical parameters show that the leakages water is similar to reservoir water. The types of leakage water in the tunnel belong to alkaline water, predominantly sulfate-chloride. This type of water is deep groundwater with a higher sulfate and chloride concentration than surface water or shallow groundwater. Hydrochemical and isotope analysis showed that water origin at leakage points is dominated by groundwater.

Abstract Studies have examined nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prevalence and severity in Asians; however, this is not well understood in Asian Americans (both East and South Asian Americans) as few studies have analyzed this population. We aimed to describe characteristics, prevalence of NAFLD, and its severity in Asian Americans in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) from 2017 to 2018. Respondents 18 years and older with interview, laboratory testing, and transient elastography data were included. Other causes of liver disease were excluded. Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) cutoff ≥ 274 dB/m, as published in the literature, defined NAFLD. Sensitivity analysis for CAP cutoffs ≥ 248 and ≥302 dB/m were performed. We found that 450 out of 3639 respondents were Asian Americans, and prevalence using CAP ≥ 274 dB/m was 43.23%. Using sensitivity analysis cutoffs of CAP ≥ 248 dB/m and CAP ≥ 302 dB/m, the prevalence was 57.38% and 28.03%, respectively. Compared with non‐Asian Americans with NAFLD, Asian Americans with NAFLD had significantly lower body mass index (BMI) and less prevalent smoking history. Comorbidities, such as prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension, were not significantly different between Asian and non‐Asian Americans with NAFLD. Compared to non‐Asian Americans with NAFLD, Asian Americans with NAFLD exhibited higher aminotransferases and triglycerides. Fibrosis assessed by transient elastography was not significantly different between Asian and non‐Asian Americans with NAFLD. Despite decreased prevalence of BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, Asian Americans experienced similar NAFLD prevalence with increased hepatocellular injury and triglyceridemia compared to non‐Asian Americans. Fibrosis stages were similar to non‐Asian Americans.

Hasil yang diperoleh ini bisa menjadi alternatif strategi penerapan pencahayaan buatan untuk memperoleh kondisi yang optimum baik dari sisi pertumbuhan dan efisiensi penggunaan energi.

Customer opinion is an important aspect in determining the success of a company or service provider. By determining the sentiment of the existing opinion, the company can use it as an evaluation material to improve the quality of the service or product provided. Sentiment analysis can be used as a measure of opinion sentiment with input data in the form of a corpus which will be classified into positive or negative classes to obtain the level of customer satisfaction with a product or service. Aspect-based sentiment analysis can be used by companies to analyze more specifically and find out what aspects need to be improved. In this research, an aspect-based sentiment analysis was conducted on Telkomsel users on Twitter. The data used is 16,992 tweets from users who discuss several aspects such as Telkomsel's services and signals in Twitter. In this research Word2Vec was used for feature expansion to minimize vocabulary mismatch caused by limited words in tweets. The results showed that Word2Vec, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), and Boosting algorithm combination with Logistic Regression classifier achieve highest accuracy of 95.10% for signal aspect and using hyperparameters makes the service aspect get the highest accuracy of 93.34%.

Social media such as Twitter has now become very close to society. Twitter users can express current issues, their opinions, product reviews, and many other things both positive and negative. Twitter is also used by companies to monitor the assessment of their products among the public as insight that will be used to evaluate what aspects of their products need to be further developed. Twitter with its limitation of only allowing users to post a maximum tweet of 280 characters will make a lot of abbreviated and difficult to understand words used, so it will allow vocabulary mismatch problems to occur. Therefore, in this paper, research conducted on aspect-based sentiment analysis of Telkomsel’s products from the aspects of signal and service by applying feature expansion using Fasttext word embedding to overcome vocabulary mismatch problem and classification with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. Sampling technique with Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) used to overcome data imbalance. The experimental results show that feature expansion can increase the performance of model. The final results obtained F1-Score value of the model for the signal aspect increased by 27.91% with F1-Score 95.93%, and for the service aspect increased by 42.36% with F1-Score 94.53%.

Rock Paper Scissors is one of the most popular games in the world, because of their easy and simple way to play among young and elderly people. The point of this game is to do the draw or just to find out who loses or wins. The pandemic conditions made people unable to meet face-to-face and could only play this game virtually. To carry out this activity in a virtual way, this research facilitates a model in the form of image classification to distinguish the hand gestures s in the form of rock, paper, and scissors. This classification process utilizes the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method. This method is one type of artificial neural network in terms of image classification. CNN uses three stages, namely convolutional layer, pooling layer, and fully connected layer. The implementation of this method for hand gesture classification in the form of rock, scissors, and paper images in this study shows an increased average accuracy towards the previous study from 97.66% to 99%.

Collision is the main issue in safe transportation, including in the railway system. Sensor systems have been developed to detect obstacles to prevent a collision, such as using cameras. One disadvantage of the camera systems is that performance detection decreases in a not clean environment, like the target position behind the fogs. This paper discusses the development of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar signal processing for high-speed railway collision avoidance. The development of radar signal processing combines a two-dimensional constant false alarm rate (2D-CFAR) and robust principal component analysis (RPCA) to detect moving targets under clutter. Cell average (CA) and Greatest of CA (GOCA) CFAR are evaluated under a cluttered wall environment along the railway track. From the experiment, the development of FMCW radar can detect stationary or moving obstacles around 675 meters in front of the locomotive. Combining 2D-CFAR and RPCA algorithm outperforms average background subtraction in extracting moving targets from strong clutter signals along the railway track.

This paper presents a study of a narrow bandwidth of the bandpass filter with a cross-coupled line structure. This structure was designed to have a good filter selectivity with the transmission zeros and a simple design. Since the structure has a cross shape, cross-coupling between the resonators consequently occurs. This interferes with the passband of the filter. Optimization in the size of the coupled lines and transmission lines was done to minimize the interference. Rogers RT/duroid 5880 was used as a substrate to fabricate the bandpass filter to verify the proposed design. As a result, the fabricated cross-coupled line bandpass filter has an 80 MHz of 3 dB bandwidth with operating frequency ranges from 2.97 GHz to 3.05 GHz. The bandwidth is reduced by 20 % from the specification.It shows that the cross-coupled line structure can yield a narrow bandwidth. Based on the 3 dB bandwidth, the center frequency is shifted 0.33 % above the specification. Meanwhile, the return loss and insertion loss of the proposed bandpass filter successfully comply with the required specifications. In conclusion, the proposed bandpass filter can be applied to S-Band applications that require narrow bandwidth.

Facing the advancement of the technology era, there is increasing awareness about integrating intercultural communicative competence in the English language teaching process. Because many people from diverse cultural backgrounds talk in English, students should acquire that competence to compete globally. To produce appropriate conversation, Grice proposes four maxims that should be obeyed, called cooperative principles. However, because of a cross-cultural situation, someone can flout the maxim as part of communication. Therefore, the present study discusses the type and the reason for flouting maxims done by the characters in a movie which is a good learning medium to teach in a classroom. Furthermore, this study wanted to explore the cause of why the movie could be an opportunity for the teacher to increase students’ intercultural literacy through the English teaching and learning process. The data gathered from the movie script and the character’s behavior in a cross-cultural situation will be analyzed through content and thematic analysis. The result showed the figures of the movie flouted the maxim of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. Humor intention, conviviality, enmity, elaborate explanation, prestige, mocking, and stating opinion were found in the movie as the characters’ motivation why they flout the maxim. The movie had an opportunity to improve students’ intercultural literacy by studying the characters’ communication and behavior. It contained understanding, competence, attitude, participation, and language that could equip students in improving their intercultural literacy. Keywords: Flouting maxim, Intercultural literacy, Movie Study

Stakeholders’ role to support evidence-based practice (EBP) and enhancing the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for EBP is essential. However, how EBP is supported and how ICT is utilized in health care providers is unknown. Aim: This study aims to explore stakeholders’ insights regarding the implementation of EBP and the use of ICT. A qualitative study with semi-structured face-to-face interview was used to obtain the aim. Using purposive sampling, eleven management representatives from public and private hospitals, clinics, and health office in Depok city, Indonesia were asked about EBP and ICT. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thematically. Five themes emerged from this study. EBP services availability and accessibility showed ICT sources were adequate, but still need improvement in the library and Education and Training Department (ETD); Healthcare workforce represented doctors and nurses who hardly generate research although permitted by the stakeholders; Health information system such as clinical cases forums in hospitals was established, but current evidence was rarely discussed; Funding for research and training related to EBP were not allocated; Leadership and governance showed there were limited policies on EBP and clinical instructors available in hospitals but generally work on supporting training and student practices. Although EBP implementation needs improvement, the stakeholders in this study mostly support EBP and enable ICT for EBP purposes. Advocacy on policy and resource arrangements is urged to support information initiatives.

Abstract Background Recent Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic shows that health system, particularly hospital care, takes the highest toll on COVID-19. As hospital gets to manage the surge of COVID-19 cases, it is important to standardize treatment standard and package for COVID-19. Until recently, in Indonesia, COVID-19 curative package in hospital is paid using a retrospective payment system (claims system) using a per-diem rate. Quantifying standard cost using an established retrospective claims dataset is important as a basis for standard formulation for COVID-19 package treatment, should COVID-19 be accommodated into the benefit package for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) under the National Health Insurance. Methods We estimated a standard cost for COVID-19 treatment using provider’s perspective. The analysis was conducted retrospectively using established national COVID-19 claims dataset during January 2020 until 2021. Utilizing individual-or-patient level analysis, claims profile were broken down per-patient, yielding descriptive clinical and care-related profile. Estimate of price and charge were measured in average. Moreover, indicators were regressed to the total charged price (in logarithmic scale) so as to find the predictors of cost. Results Based on the analysis of 102,065 total claims data received by MOH in 2020-2021, there is an average claim payment for COVID-19 in the amount of IDR 74,52 million (USD$ 5175). Significant difference exists in hospital tariffs or price to the existing claims data, indicating profit for hospital within its role in managing COVID-19 cases. Claim amount predictors were found to be associated with change of claim amount, including high level of severity, hospital class, intensive care room occupancy and ventilator usage, as well as mortality. Conclusion As COVID-19 pandemic shifts towards an endemic, countries including Indonesia need to reflect on the existing payment system and move towards a more sustainable payment mechanism for COVID-19. The COVID-19 payment system needs to be integrated into the existing national health insurance allowing bundled payment to become more sustainable, which can be achieved by comprehensively formulating the bundled payment package for COVID-19.

Remote sensing-based research in Indonesia using satellite imagery frequently faces the challenge of cloud coverage due to the tropical country. One spatial data that can be extracted from satellite imagery is bathymetry. However, cloud-covered water bathymetric extraction still needs to be examined. This study aims to understand the ability of Landsat 7 ETM+ acquired on 29 July 2013, and Landsat 8, acquired on 24 July 2020, as the representative of non-cloudy image compared to Landsat 8, acquired on 9 August 2020, as the cloudy image. Stumpf algorithm was applied, including a statistical approach of linear regression analysis with in-situ data measurement from Single Beam Echo-Sounder (SBES) to derive the absolute bathymetric map with several classes of depth ranging from 0 – 2 m up to 10 m. To assess the accuracy, RMSE and confusion matrix was used. The result shows that Landsat 7 ETM+ yields the highest R2 with 0,52, while the lowest total RMSE (8,167 m) and highest overall accuracy of about 69% from the confusion matrix was achieved by the cloudy image of Landsat 8. Nevertheless, the highest absolute depth value yield by Landsat 8 non-cloudy image with 16,1 m. This research confirms that the highest R2 value does not always produce the best model, but it is still promised to be used. Furthermore, the quality of the imagery based on its percentage of cloud coverage is affecting the resulted model.

Sleep quality and sleep duration might be more disturbed throughout the pandemic of Covid-19 among health care practitioners (HCPs). It could influence impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and hyperuricemia. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the association between sleep with IFG and hyperuricemia among HCPs throughout the pandemic of Covid-19. We conducted a cross-sectional study that enrolled 58 HCPs in the tertiary hospital. Self-reported questionnaire related to their sleep quality and duration using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were performed by participants. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and uric acid (UA) were examined after 10-12 hours of fasting to define IFG and hyperuricemia. A total of 58 HCPs detected 34.5% had IFG and 24.1% had hyperuricemia. We could not identify any statistically significant participants characteristic based on IFG. HCPs who shift workers were 21.4% hyperuricemia compared to 54.4 non-hyperuricemia (p=0.03). There were no different characteristics according to the quality and duration of sleep, where 72.4% HCPs had good quality and duration of sleep. However, we found that sleep medication used scores were higher in IFG group (0.30 ± 0.57) than non-IFG (0.03 ± 0.16) (p

Cardiovascular disease is one of the health problems that cause significant health, economic, and social burdens. Generally, cardiovascular disease starts to appear clinically at the age of 40 years and over. Currently, diabetes can appear early because of an unhealthy lifestyle since childhood. Senior high school students, the nation's next generation, are essential assets for the country. The school-age intervention is expected to increase student awareness for anticipating cardiovascular disease. This study focused on evaluating the relationship between the level of knowledge related to cardiovascular disease and the risk of cardiovascular disease in high school students. This study is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study to measure the level of knowledge and cardiovascular risk are a closed-ended questionnaire, digital sphygmomanometer, scale, height meter, body measuring tape, and blood glucose self-test device. The total study population was 207 students from two senior high schools in Bali. Almost one-third of the subjects have high blood pressure. Nearly a quarter of the subjects are overweight-obese and have waist circumference above normal. The result showed no significant difference relationship between the level of knowledge and cardiovascular risk (P >0.05). Therefore, further education is needed to instil healthy behaviors to control cardiovascular risk factors as early as possible. In conclusion, there is no relationship between the level of knowledge on cardiovascular risk in two senior high schools in Bali.

This study uses spatial modeling to determine the potential location of a rubber processing factory in East Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU), South Sumatra, Indonesia. This descriptive study used the map overlay method. Besides, this study also used six parameters, namely number of population, rubber plantation area, land slope, land suitability, river flow availability, and road network availability. Those six parameters were overlaid and scored to generate a map of the potential location for the rubber processing factory in East OKU, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Our analysis results suggest that the most potential location was 27.412 ha (9 percent), while the area with medium and low potential was 267.952 ha (86 percent) and 15.155 ha (5 percent), respectively. Generally, the pattern of the most potential area followed the road network pattern and river network in East OKU because both road and river facilitate the provision of water resources, as well as distribution of raw materials and produced products. These results can be used as a reference for the government of East OKU Regency in constructing the factory. Besides, this study can also be used as a Geography learning material in the course of map and mapping, as well as Geography Information System.

We aim to construct a relationship between geodiversity and cultural diversity in Karst of Sangkulirang-Mangkalihat and contextualize the relation into a geoheritage management scheme. We use the Landscape Characteristics Assessment and field survey to characterize the geodiversity and cultural diversity, aided by GIS. The materials are DEM, geological maps, and administrative maps. For the analysis, we employ the significant value approach to achieve the purpose of the study. The diversity inventory unveils many significant geomorphological and cultural features with remarkably beauty, exceptionally rare, and sustaining local communities. The linkage between geodiversity and the cultural diversity in the area has unique entities that must be addressed in the management of the area, either as a World Heritage or Geopark. Linkage between geodiversity and cultural diversity is the main key and most fundamental aspect to establish the geoheritage and develop geotourism which benefits the indigenous community and preserves the significant values and integrity of the Karst of Sangkulirang-Mangkalihat.

The abundance of water strider Ptilomera dromas Breddin (Hemiptera: Gerridae) in Ciliwung River related to water quality. Water-strider Ptilomera dromas Breddin (Gerridae: Hemiptera) is an aquatic insect that is commonly found in various waters, such as rivers, ponds, and lakes. The purpose of this research was to study the abundance of P. dromas in Ciliwung river in relation to its water quality. The abundance of P. dromas was surveyed at five stations, i.e. Cilember, Cijulang, Gadog, Katulampa, and Sempur stations. Environmental parameters measured were water temperature, air temperature, pH, water flow, biological oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved oxygen (DO), free CO2 level, nitrogen total, water hardness, and total suspended solid (TSS). The relationship of P. dromas abundance with environment parameters was analyzed by using general linear model (GLM). Results showed that the highest abundance of P. dromas was found in Gadog station, followed by Cilember, Katulampa, and Cijulang stations. The population of P. dromas was not found in Sempur station, which might be related to the presence of Katulampa weir that acts as physical barrier and due to high BOD and TSS values. Based on GLM analysis, water hardness and pH were correlated positively with abundance of P. dromas. The existence of P. dromas in the upstream stations is linked to the high water quality and low pollution of waters.

Nanogrids would become a relevant concept during the COVID-19 pandemic since everyone has to do all their activities at home. This paper proposes a new topology of hybrid nanogrids called “Dual Power Nanogrids” to improve the reliability and resiliency supply in residential sector. In this system, the voltage is divided into two parts, first is the AC voltage which is supplied through an inverter 230 VAC to feed the motor/inductive loads, and the second one is DC voltage through a DC–DC converter with an output voltage of 230 VDC to supply the SMPS (switch load power supply). The PLC-IoT is embedded to the system to anticipate fault conditions. At the DC side, the voltage remains stable at the 230 VDC during dynamic loads condition. During transition from DC to AC, the system could recover the voltage stability in 2 s. Furthermore, during the serial failure at the DC–DC converter and utility grid supply, the voltage is stable, and the load still run properly. The role of battery is strategic as a last source against the various disturbance. The Dual Power nanogrid could guarantee the power reliability and resiliency when the blackout occurred in the utility grid.

COVID-19, which has been sweeping the world since 2020 and has caused a high human toll, profoundly impacts almost all countries to focus on public health. Indonesia also felt the impact of COVID-19; therefore, it needs to participate in various activities in maintaining global health and seeking vaccines from the international world. This study aims to examine how Indonesia's global health diplomacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used a qualitative method with data collection techniques through secondary data and interviews. The study found that Indonesia conducted global health diplomacy through multilateral channels to maintain global health governance and promote international efforts in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Indonesia also uses global health diplomacy through multilateral and bilateral channels to gain access to vaccine provision. Indonesia's global health diplomacy was also conducted to obtain assistance in dealing with non-health problems, namely economic and social issues.

West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) has two kinds of related ethnic languages, namely the Sasak language (BS) and the Samawa language (BSw). As related languages, the two ethnic groups often come into conflict. Conflicts are generally caused by the lack of a good and effective communication process. This study investigates the phenomenon of linguistic kinship and describes various phonemic features as a solution for resolving regional conflicts. The research uses Linguistics Historical Comparative (LHC) Theory with synchronic studies. The research method used phenomenological principles with qualitative descriptive research. The object of study is BS and BSw. The research instrument used Swadesh vocabulary and Lexicostatistical parameters. Data collection was conducted by documentation. Data analysis applied qualitative description technique includes reduction, presentation, and verification. The results showed that 68 words were the same, 52 words were similar, and 87 were different. Word relations based on parallel and serial structures of kin with contradictory meanings, such as: /apa/ (a~ə/-#), /anjing/ (c~s/#V-V#), /baru/ (a~ǝ/#C-C# and Ø~?/-#), /benar/ (k~t/#-), /benih/ (ɛ~i/#C-C#), and /bunuh/ (Ø~bǝ/#- and ?~ Ø/-#). In syllables and phonemes, BS and BSw have variants /e/ > [ǝ],[e],[Ɛ]. The percentage of relatives, 58%, is of language family status, both genetically and proto-Austronesian. The period of separation of the two languages is 1292 years, to be precise, occurred in 730 AD. The contribution of similarity is phonemically observed through three dimensions of inter-ethnic conflict resolution: signification, domination, and legitimacy. The research findings are in the form of formulations/concepts of solutions for resolving regional conflicts through the kinship of phonemic features of the Austronesian language, the traditions/culture and beliefs of speakers, and the social system of society. It is a reference for preventing regional conflicts in NTB in particular and Indonesia in general.
