The phenomenon of fluctuating chili prices can be resolved in stages, one of which is through multiple crosses. However, this cross requires precise methods in the evaluation and selection process, especially regarding fruit characteristics. Image-based phenotyping 4.0 approaches can increase the potential precision of such evaluation genotypes, especially when this approach is combined with multivariate analysis. Therefore, both methods are needed to evaluate and select these cayenne multiple crosses. This research aims to identify the effectiveness of multivariate analysis and image-based explanatory characteristics of fruit phenotypes and to select multiple crosses that can continue to the F2 generation. The research was designed with a randomized complete block design of ten F1 multiple cross-genotypes and four check varieties. Each genotype was repeated three times, so there were 42 experimental units. Based on the results, multivariate was considered adequate in determining image explanatory characters based on fruit phenotype and genotype mapping of the population diversity of multiple crosses of cayenne pepper. The characteristics of fruit height, fruit area, and fruit Intden are image-based explanatory characters that can map the completeness of cayenne pepper fruit between multiple crosses well. This indicates that image-based phenotyping and multivariate analysis can provide more detailed image information of the potential of cayenne fruit from multiple crosses than just based on fruit weight. Therefore, both approaches are recommended for analyzing cayenne paper fruit potential, especially for multiple crosses. In addition, three crosses (MC4, MC8, and MC9) are optimal for the next generation to be recommended and continued.

This study aims to analyze the influence of women's leadership on banking productivity with artificial intelligence (AI) as a mediator. This study involved 90 employees of Bank SulSelBar Makassar, where the entire population was sampled (saturated sample). The method used is quantitative, using primary data collected through questionnaires. The data analysis technique used structural equation modeling (SEM) to evaluate the relationship between variables with the help of SmartPLS software version 3.0. The study results indicate that women's leadership positively affects banking productivity and the implementation of AI. However, the implementation of AI itself does not affect banking productivity. AI cannot mediate the influence of women's leadership on banking productivity. This study advises banks to continue supporting inclusive women's leadership and adopt advanced technology to increase productivity. Theoretically, this study does not support the assumption that technology such as AI will automatically increase productivity without considering the context of leadership. The application of AI needs to be carried out optimally by considering the technology's suitability for banking needs.

Santen Island Beach in the Banyuwangi Regency of Indonesia possesses immense potential for beach tourism. Unfortunately, the charm of this destination has been marred by inadequate waste management. This paper outlines a community service program aimed at enhancing awareness, understanding, and active participation of local community groups in addressing waste management issues by transforming waste into ecobrick greenhouses. The program employed various methods, including lectures, discussions, and brainstorming sessions, which were conducted on Pulau Santen Beach with a focus on the local population. The application of a local development model was central to our community service activities, resulting in increased understanding, awareness, and participation among the target groups. The heightened involvement was marked by enthusiastic participation in ecobrick production, effective household waste sorting (particularly plastic waste), and the formation of committed cadres. The local community exhibited increased knowledge through their ability to respond to questions and plan follow-up actions. This initiative significantly improved the knowledge, awareness, and engagement of the target community in managing waste and converting it into ecobricks.

Abstract Background The incidence of vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women remains high and is associated with vitamin D deficiency in infants. In normally breastfed infants, Bifidobacteriaceae and Lactobacillaceae are known to help in maintaining immunotolerance and prevent infection. Vitamin D in the gastrointestinal tract plays a role in determining the composition and function of intestinal bacteria. Preterm infants are vulnerable to intestinal dysbiosis and sepsis due to bacterial translocation. This study aimed to determine the association between vitamin D levels and intestinal dysbiosis. Methods It was a cohort study conducted in the Neonatal Unit, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Tertiary hospital in Indonesia, from November 2019 to January 2021. The inclusion criteria in this study were preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks or a birth weight of less than 1500 g. Total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were collected from the umbilical cords of very preterm or very low birth weight infants. A fecal examination was performed on the seventh day of life to assess intestinal bacteria using real-time PCR for four bacterial genera: Bifidobacteriaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, and Clostridiaceae. Results A total of 43 infants were included in this study. Among the subjects, 53.4% had vitamin D deficiency. There was no association identified between vitamin D deficiency and intestinal dysbiosis (RR 0.67; 95% CI (0.15–2.82), p-value = 0.531). However, the ratio of Lactobacillacecae to Enterobacteriaceae was lower in those with vitamin D deficiency. Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency was not associated with dysbiosis in preterm infants. However, this study found that the ratio of Lactobacillaceae to Enterobacteriaceae in those with vitamin D deficiency was lower than in those without vitamin D deficiency. Further research is warranted to confirm this finding.

Every year, the library must be buying books in order to increase the collection of books that are in the libraries. When purchasing books, it is necessary to make various considerations so that the books that will be used are relevant to the needs of students and lecturers in academic activities. The procurement of books in the library is still done manually with book selection carried out by the librarians is still one-on-one of the list of submissions of books that have been made by the lecturer. Therefore, there is a need to have a renewal of the system of book acquisition in the libraries one of which uses the decision support system in the process of the book acquisitions. In this study the decision support system used is the MOORA method in determining the rating of the recommendation book to be held. The alternative submission data will be obtained from the library's proposal with the book data from the publisher's book collection. The study uses five criteria for book acquisition, including book price, year of publication, book stock, number of book proposals, and availability of books. This decision support system will provide a recommendation for purchase of books from the alternative data for book submission that will be calculated using the MOORA method to obtain any book recommendation that matches the criteria and budget of the book procurement. Accuracy level testing using the Confusion Matrix by comparing the results of manual calculations with the system to obtain 100% accuracy.

Cultural heritage conceptually addresses the conservation of physical and non-physical dimensions. Heritage conservation generally intends to create pleasant spatial experiences and socio-culturally friendly living environments while accommodating contemporary needs. Conservation frameworks for protecting urban fabric driven by physical authenticity and expert judgment need to pay increased attention to public-based assessment experiences to improve people’s perspectives on the quality of urban historic areas. The notions of inclusive conservation posit that community understanding is essential for appreciating historic urban areas due to various social, cultural, historical, and political conditions. According to public narratives and perspectives, this study describes the types of urban historic districts perceived as attractive. The investigation uses the qualitative method to analyze data from 170 participants obtained through an online questionnaire and content analysis methods with open, axial, and selective coding. The findings reveal that from the public perspective of environmental quality assessment, historic districts are categorized under three types according to attractiveness. Three types of historic areas are vibrant, relaxing, and dull districts. As such, the study emphasizes the importance of human sensory experience in urban planning and design and its consequences for urban heritage conservation.

The changing meaning of the Njalang tradition within the Nasal clan community in Kaur Regency, Bengkulu, demonstrates significant social and cultural dynamics.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-destructive tool for exploring an object buried underground. Currently, GPR is also considered for reinforced concrete inspection. However, the image produced by GPR can not be easily interpreted. Besides, the large observation of building concrete inspection also motivates the researchers to fastening and easing radar image interpretation. Thus, this research proposes a new method to translate GPR scattering data image to its internal structure visualization. The proposed employs a convolutional autoencoder model using amplitude and phase radar data as input of the algorithm. As evaluation, in this stage, we perform numerical analysis by using finite-difference time-domain-based synthetic data that considers three cases: concrete with rebar, concrete with crack, and concrete with rebar and crack. All of those cases are simulated with randomized dimensions and positions that is possible in the real applications. Compared with the baseline method, our method shows superiority, especially in the semantic segmentation perspective. The parameter size of the proposed model is also much smaller, around one-third of the previous method. Therefore, the method is feasible enough to be implemented in real applications addressing an automatic internal structure reinforced concrete visulaization

In the last few years, much research has focused on the stability and improvement of the thermo-physical properties of single-component nanofluids. Some studies have not made many improvements to the stability and thermophysical properties of various types of green nanofluids from several variations of nanoparticles. Green nanofluids must be developed to improve heat transfer performance from their stability and thermal conductivity factors. Stability and thermal conductivity of Nano-silicate suspended in a base mixture of water /ethylene glycol with the ratio of 60:40, different volume concentrations were investigated. The experiments carried out were the stability of the green nanofluids investigated for volume concentrations of 0.1~0.3% and temperature conditions from 30 to 70°C for thermal conductivity measurement using TEMPOS Thermal Properties Analyzer. The experimental results showed that the stability analysis of the green nanofluids prepared by the UV-Vis method was stable up to 30 days after preparation with a sonication time of 1 hour with a ratio of 70-80%. The evaluation of the zeta potential for green nanofluids obtained a value of 33.57 mV with a moderate stability classification. The highest thermal conductivity for the green nanofluids was obtained at 0.3%, and the maximum increase was 17% higher than that of the base liquid (W/EG). Green nanofluids with a concentration of 0.1% gave the lowest effective thermal conductivity of 1.09 time at 70°C.

Penelitian tentang karakteristik batuan beku dapat berkontribusi pada penelitian lanjut tentang potensi sumber daya lainnya yang terkait dengan fenomena magmatisme, khususnya di lokasi yang memiliki sejarah magmatisme cukup panjang seperti di bagian barat Pulau Jawa. Studi karakteristik petrologi batuan beku pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan sampel yang diperoleh dari Cikalongkulon, Cianjur, Jawa Barat; sebuah lokasi dengan kompleks tubuh intrusi yang membentang hampir Barat-Timur. Dilakukan pengamatan lapangan dan petrografi guna menghasilkan sintesis terkait interaksi antaran tubuh batuan beku dan batuan samping di daerah penelitian. Dari observasi didapati bahwa terdapat metasomatisme yang terjadi akibat proses intrusi andesit terhadap batuan samping. Proses ini terjadi pada rentang suhu 270-320°C yang ditandai oleh kemunculan mineral sekunder berupa klorit, serisit, kalsit, kuarsa, dan epidot. Keberadaan metasomatisme ini juga mengindikasikan bahwa umur tubuh intrusi andesit harus lebih muda dari Miosen Tengah, berbeda dari interpretasi awal pada Peta Geologi Lembar Cianjur yang menempatkan tubuh batuan beku lebih tua dari batuan sedimen di sekitarnya.

Designing microstrip antennas with wide bandwidth and low-frequency capabilities presents several challenges. These difficulties mainly arise due to the relatively small size of the microstrip in comparison to the operating frequency. Therefore, achieving a combination of enhanced bandwidth and lowerfrequency cut-off becomes crucial to support a broad frequency range of communication technologies. This paper presents a method for enhancing the bandwidth of a circular microstrip antenna based on an inverted C-shaped ground configuration. The proposed method successfully creates an antenna with extended bandwidth while lowering the operating frequency. The antenna was simulated and then fabricated using an RO5880 duroid substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.2, a thickness of 1.575 mm, and a loss tangent of 0.0009. The simulation and measurement results demonstrate that the antenna can operate effectively within a wide frequency range of 3.5 GHz to 18 GHz. Additionally, utilizing this method enables the antenna to function at even lower frequencies and wider bandwidth without the need for additional dimensions.

This study aimed to evaluate structural models and measurement models of student satisfaction in online learning. This was a quantitative study using a survey research design. Structural model testing was done by examining the relationship between several variables. The variables in question were the learning management system (LMS), admin services, the performance of facilitator lecturers and student satisfaction in learning. The sample used in this study were 149 students. Data analysis was performed using the multivariate Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. The findings of this study indicated that the facilitator lecturer performance is the variable that has the greatest effect in increasing student satisfaction in online learning. Admin service is another variable that has a positive effect on student satisfaction, both direct and indirect effects. The LMS variable does not show a direct effect on student satisfaction, but the LMS has an indirect effect on student satisfaction through the variable facilitator lecturer performance and admin services.

Transformational leadership is a leadership style that prioritizes commitment values, patterns, and performance to achieve organizational goals needed in the 21st century. This leadership style is widely applied in developing countries and has the best educational status in the world, such as in Finland and the United States. Researchers have recommended that transformational leadership is an important aspect of teacher performance; however, whether the effect varies across related studies and the robustness of the overall effect size remains unclear. A meta-analysis technique was used to synthesize the results from 65 independent studies and investigate the overall relationship between transformational school leadership and the three measures of teacher performance. This study found that, in terms of the average influence measure, transformational school leadership positively influenced teacher job satisfaction, commitment, and self-efficacy.

The professional teacher certification programme is a programme that has been implemented online for both in-service teachers and pre-service teachers since 2019. The change in the pattern of implementing the professional teacher programme from offline to online will provide a different programme experience for teachers, participants and tutors.

This article aims to provide a comprehensive and trustworthy HVC model for Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) by considering the role of digital technologies, legislation, finance, and research and development. To give a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, we employed quantitative research methods. We used a sample based on the database of The Halal Product Assurance Organizing Body (BPJPH) to collect data from 278 respondents. Our respondents are located in thirteen different Indonesian cities who run MSMEs and from various backgrounds, such as practitioners, associations, legislators, academics, and other pertinent stakeholders. According to our findings, research and development have a negligible impact on halal chain performance, while halal value chain elements have a considerable impact. Previous HVC research has primarily been descriptive, characterizing situations or concepts or reviewing literature, with little empirical assessment of the relationship between significant halal value chain aspects and value chain performance. Our research contributes in filling this gap.

Native adlay flour lacks the characteristics that give it grittiness when applied to food products, which can be improved by flour modifications using the fermentation method. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of new gluten-free cookies made from native and modified adlay flours and compare them to those made from wheat flour. Adlay flour was modified by fermentation using various Rhizopus sp. inoculum concentrations: 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% (w/w). The modified adlay flour using 1.5% (w/w) Rhizopus sp. inoculum was selected for application in making gluten-free cookies because of its most suitable characteristics, including lower pasting temperature, resistance to retrogradation, good thermal stability, and favorable functional properties such as high swelling volume, solubility, and water and oil absorption capacities. In making cookies, the treatments were the type of flour used, namely native adlay flour cookies (NAFC), modified adlay flour cookies (MAFC), and wheat flour cookies (WFC) as a control. All cookies were made using the same recipe; the only difference was the type of flour used. The results showed that MAFC has higher fat and crude fiber however lower protein content than WFC. The MAFC was not significantly different (p ≥ 0.05) from WFC in hardness and fracturability. The sensory evaluation showed that MAFC did not have significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) in texture, mouthfeel, aftertaste, and overall acceptance compared to WFC. Fermentation modification of adlay flour can eliminate grittiness in gluten-free cookies.
