Batik, a significant element of Indonesian cultural heritage, is renowned for its intricate patterns and profound philosophical meanings. While preserving traditional batik is crucial, the creation of modern patterns is equally encouraged to keep the art form vibrant and evolving. Current research primarily focuses on batik classification, leaving a gap in the exploration of generative models for batik pattern creation. This paper investigates the application of text-to-image (T2I) generative models to synthesize batik motifs, leveraging latent diffusion models (LDM), Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), and classifier-free guidance. Our methodology employed a dataset of 20,000 batik images. Multimodal models such as LLaVA and BLIP were utilized to generate detailed captions for these images. A pretrained LDM was subsequently fine-tuned on its denoising U-Net part, either by naively fine-tuned the entire layer or by employing using LoRA. The fine-tuning process was critical in enhancing the model’s capability to generate high-quality and user-specific batik patterns. The results demonstrated that the LDM fine-tuned on the entire denoising U-Net with LLaVA-captioned images outperformed other models, achieving the lowest Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and highest Inception Score (IS). The thoroughness of LLaVA captions proved superior to those generated by BLIP, emphasizing the significance of detailed image descriptions in generative tasks. Notably, the model not only replicated existing batik patterns but also innovatively combined multiple motifs and even able to create entirely new designs, as verified by batik expert. This research contributes to the field of computer-assisted batik pattern generation, providing significant advantages for batik artists, manufacturers, and users by accelerating the pattern creation process and expanding the possibilities of batik art.

The issue behind the research on the Bajo tribe is the lack of understanding regarding the forms of communication used by the tribe to impart knowledge about local wisdom concerning the sustainable use of coastal and marine resources. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify both the forms of local wisdom and the communication methods used to educate Bajo children about the sustainable use of coastal resources, ensuring the preservation of the Bajo tribe's cultural identity. The study was conducted among the Bajo tribe living along the coast of the Tiworo Strait in Muna Regency and West Muna Regency. The research informants consisted of 15 individuals, purposively selected, including elders and tribal leaders. The findings revealed that the local wisdom being passed down includes traditional management of coastal natural resources, such as: (a) the mammia kadialo tradition, involving fishing practices, which include palilibu, pongka, and sasakai; (b) traditional methods of fishing, including missi, ngarua, mana (archery using traditional tools), and nyuluh/balobe (also called ngobor); (c) the Pamali tradition, which involves specific taboos at certain times and places; and (d) the Maduai Pinah ritual, a form of worship for the "sea ruler" believed to protect and provide natural resources. Communication methods used to teach Bajo children about the utilization of natural resources include intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, and group communication. Permasalahan yang mendasari penelitian tentang suku Bajo adalah kurangnya pemahaman mengenai bentuk-bentuk komunikasi yang digunakan oleh suku tersebut dalam menyampaikan pengetahuan tentang kearifan lokal terkait pemanfaatan sumber daya pesisir dan laut secara berkelanjutan. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk kearifan lokal dan metode komunikasi yang digunakan dalam mendidik anak-anak suku Bajo tentang pemanfaatan sumber daya pesisir yang berkelanjutan, sehingga dapat menjaga kelestarian identitas budaya suku Bajo. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada suku Bajo yang tinggal di sepanjang pesisir Selat Tiworo di Kabupaten Muna dan Kabupaten Muna Barat. Informan penelitian terdiri dari 15 orang yang dipilih secara purposive, termasuk para tetua dan kepala suku. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa kearifan lokal yang diwariskan meliputi pengelolaan tradisional sumber daya alam pesisir, antara lain: (a) tradisi mammia kadialo, yang melibatkan praktik penangkapan ikan, termasuk palilibu, pongka, dan sasakai; (b) cara tradisional menangkap ikan, seperti missi, ngarua, mana (memanah dengan alat tradisional), serta nyuluh/balobe (juga disebut ngobor); (c) tradisi Pamali, yaitu larangan pada waktu dan tempat tertentu; dan (d) ritual Maduai Pinah, yaitu penyembahan kepada "penguasa laut" yang diyakini melindungi dan menyediakan sumber daya alam bagi mereka. Metode komunikasi yang digunakan untuk mengajarkan anak-anak suku Bajo tentang pemanfaatan sumber daya alam meliputi komunikasi intrapersonal, komunikasi interpersonal, dan komunikasi kelompok.

In the process of a pediatric eye exam, cycloplegic refraction is a crucial step. Since no single cycloplegic drug is ideal, a combination regimen is employed. This study compares the ocular (refractive power and pupil diameter) and systemic (blood pressure and heart rate) effects of administering a combination of 1% cyclopentolate and 2.5% phenylephrine, with or without 1% tropicamide, to children with refractive errors. This study aimed to discover a more feasible regimen for children. This was a single-blind study, a randomized clinical trial conducted from November–December 2020 in children with mild to moderate refractive errors. Group A received 1% cyclopentolate, 2.5% phenylephrine, and 1% tropicamide (SFT), whereas group B received 1% cyclopentolate and 2.5% phenylephrine (SF). The outcomes were measured using an auto refractometer and IOL Master® 700. Before and 60 minutes after medication was administered, blood pressure and heart rate were measured. There were 54 participants (108 eyes) with an average age of 12.85± 2.84 years. Although the SFT group's refractive power and pupil width were greater than those of the SF group, the differences were not statistically significant (p=0.271 and p=0.088). Heart rate (p=0.521) and blood pressure (systolic p=0.201; diastolic p=0.950) did not significantly differ between the two groups. Despite mydriasis manifested more rapidly in the SFT group, there was no discernible difference in the cycloplegic effects between those groups. SF might be a more feasible regimen for cycloplegic refraction in children with refractive errors.

One of the effects of space activities is the creation of space debris that can endanger either the space environment or the Earth’s environment. In response to concerns regarding a swift escalation in space debris, Russia tested its Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapon by deploying the PL-19 Nudol missile against its satellite, Cosmos 1408, generating space debris. This situation certainly raises the question of how to protect the environment in space and whether international environmental law that provides a legal framework for protection in the world can also be applied in outer space. This article offers a new perspective on implementing international law to protect the space environment. This study adopts normative juridical research methods by utilizing a statute and case approach to analyze the research. The analysis showed that space debris generated from ASAT Weapon testing activities by Russia is regarded as harmful contamination under Article IX of OST under the interpretation of the term through the method of interpretation regulated in the 1969 VCLT because these activities produce long-lived space debris. Further, Russia violated the principles of environmental protection in space by failing to fulfill the obligations contained in these principles, such as taking precautionary measures and international consultations before carrying out such test activities.

Indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) is an essential phytohormone that controls a variety of plant growth mechanisms. Bacteria can produce IAA to stimulate plant growth, with its production influenced by the culture conditions. Serratia plymuthica UBCF_13 is recognized as an IAA‐producing bacterium, exhibiting maximum IAA production in a yeast medium comprising yeast extract, sucrose, K2HPO4, MgSO4, NaCl, and CaCO3. However, prior studies optimizing individual inorganic salt components indicated minimal impact on IAA synthesis within this medium. This study aimed to eliminate the unnecessary inorganic salt components and the medium was then applied to investigate the IAA biosynthesis pathway and the plant growth‐promoting assay. The elimination assay consisted of yeast sucrose medium devoid of K2HPO4, MgSO4, NaCl, or CaCO3, and yeast sucrose medium containing only MgSO4 and CaCO3. Various indole compounds were then added to the revised medium composition to investigate the IAA biosynthesis pathway of UBCF_13 using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, the effect of UBCF_13 culture supernatant, cultivated in the new medium, on chili plant growth was evaluated. The highest IAA production (138.8 µg/mL) was observed in the yeast sucrose with CaCO3 and MgSO4 (elimination of K2HPO4 and NaCl). The presence of indole‐3‐acetamide (IAM) compound from the medium extracts, supplemented with multiple indole compounds, revealed that UBCF_13 may use the IAM pathway. The application of UBCF_13 supernatant enhanced the shoot, root length, fresh weight, and germination time of chili seeds by 37.7%, 49.3%, 204.3%, and 38.6%, respectively. This study demonstrated that eliminating K2HPO4 and NaCl provided a new culture medium composition conducive to IAA production by UBCF_13. Moreover, the UBCF_13 extract has the potential to promote plant growth.

Papua is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has obtained special autonomy status based on Law Number 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Papuan People The granting of special autonomy is based on the consideration that the Indonesian government system according to the 1945 Constitution recognizes and respects units of regional government that are special or special in nature. Theoretically, the policy of granting special autonomy status to Papua Province will be effective in improving the welfare of the Papuan people. Because with special autonomy, the Papuan government and people have broader authority to regulate and manage their interests according to their own initiative, including regulating the utilization of Papua's natural resources for the prosperity and welfare of the Papuan people. This study is a normative legal research. Papua is a province in Indonesia that has the distinctiveness of indigenous peoples and their customary land rights, which until now continue to fight for recognition from the government. These efforts were responded to by the enactment of Law Number 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Papuan People, along with its amendments. The law is further elaborated through the Ulayat Rights Regional Regulation.

Purpose: The anterior segment in individuals with high myopia has different features compared to those without myopia. IOLMaster 700 and Oculus Pentacam AXL are two accurate optical biometers. Both devices measure the cornea differently and thus yield different results when measuring intraocular lens (IOL) power. The purpose of this study is to assess the agreement of the IOL power calculation between IOLMaster 700 and Oculus Pentacam AXL in patients with high myopia. Methods: A prospective, analytical cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the agreement between the IOL power calculation with IOLMaster 700 and Oculus Pentacam AXL. In this study, 44 eyes were examined using Oculus Pentacam AXL and IOLMaster 700, and IOL power was calculated using the Barret Universal II formula and the AMO Sensar AR40E. The Bland–Altman plot was used to evaluate the agreement between the two devices. Results: Based on the IOLMaster 700 examination, 44 eyes with high myopia had axial lengths ranging from 26.05 to 34.02 mm. The mean IOL power was 8.26 ± 4.755 and 8.58 ± 4.776 based on IOLMaster 700 and Oculus Pentacam AXL, respectively. The Bland–Altman plot revealed good agreement between the two devices, with a mean difference of −0.3182 in the IOL power calculation and a 95% LoA of 0.88099–0.24462 with a 95% confidence interval. Conclusion: Both devices showed good agreement in the IOL power calculation in patients with high myopia.

Introduction: One of the most frequent types of arthritis is osteoarthritis, also referred to as a degenerative joint disease. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and nitric oxide (NO) are essential factors in the pain response; IL-1β and NO are responsible for increasing the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinases with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMS) in chondrocytes. Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr. Has been traditionally used to treat jaundice, liver disease, diarrhea, fever, and inflammation. Methods: This study used in vitro and in vivo models to determine the effect of a 70 % ethanol extract of Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr. stems on the inhibition of NO production in RAW 264.7 cells induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IL-1β in osteoarthritis rats induced with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA). The NO inhibition test was determined by the NO colorimetric assay using Griess reagent and measured by the ELISA plate reader. The measurement of joint diameter and hyperalgesia in osteoarthritis rats was carried out once a week for 7 weeks, and then the IL-1β levels were measured at weeks 3 and 7. Result: The viability of cell line this extract was greater than 80 %, and the extract at 25, 50, and 100 μg/mL significantly inhibited NO production (p

The rice yield gap (YG) is a global concern, requiring more detailed studies spatially and temporally. As a staple food in Indonesia, rice was produced from 7.4 Mha paddy fields in 2019. Better insight into the YG helps assess measures to boost rice production. However, the information on YG variation among regions scale is limited. This study aimed to identify the rice YG based on 295 historical trial datasets from 23 provinces in Indonesia. We surveyed published trial results from 2012 to 2022 and analyzed YGs, expressed as the percentage of farmer yield (FY). The potential yield (PY) was estimated from field trial results using introduced rice cultivation technology package, whereas FY from results using existing farmer practices. Our study showed that the average YG was 62% in rainfed, 54% in tidal, and 32% in irrigated paddy fields. The YG was significantly high in the paddy fields of Kalimantan (74%) and Maluku-Papua (49%), while the lowest was in Sulawesi (27%) and Java (31%). The YG varied significantly with geo-regions, rice varieties, and cultivation technology packages. Closing the YG and ensuring sustainable rice production requires the implementation of sustainable intensification through applying site-specific technology packages, reallocation of agricultural interventions to a higher YG region, and rice variety improvement to increase PY.

Abstract Background Population‐based studies have also found that diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT) are independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, less is known about new‐onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) risk factors and its correlation with DM and HT. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of ECG abnormalities, and the predictor of NOAF in patients with HT and DM. Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted at a tertiary hospital from May until December 2021. All medical record data from outpatients who had both diagnoses HT and DM were included in this study. Data from patients with unstable hemodynamics and lack of complete medical record data were excluded. Then, patient history, medical records, ECG, and laboratory information were reviewed. Results There were 162 patients included in this study. Arrhythmia was found in 14.2% of the population, with new‐onset AF (NOAF) as the most common finding with 8.6% incidence, followed by PVC (3.1%) and PAC (2.5%). Bivariate analysis showed that valvular heart disease, random blood glucose, LVEF, and infection status were associated with a higher incidence of NOA. Model from multivariate logistic regression showed that valvular heart disease and random blood glucose level were independently correlated with NOAF (p = .009). Conclusion It can be concluded that random blood glucose level at a certain point and valvular heart disease can be used as a risk predictor of NOAF in the hypertension population with concomitant DM.

Pola rekrutmen kepala daerah menurut undang-undang No.5 Tahun 1974 ditentukan oleh pemerintahan pusat, sedangkan di undang-undang No.8 Tahun 2015 kepala daerah dipilih secara langsung. Perbedaan penjelasan undang-undang ini juga memperlihatkan posisi elite Jakarta dan masyarakat daerah dalam menentukan calon pemimpinnya. Kelompok-kelompok militer mendapatkan tempat yang strategis dengan besarnya pengaruh lembaga ini di era Orde Baru. Pemilihan kepala daerah hanya sekadar formalitas, karena mekanismenya diatur oleh Orde Baru. Sedangkan di undang-undang No 8 Tahun 2015 partai politik menjadi wadah rekrutmen kepala daerah sebelum dipilih oleh masyarakat secara langsung. Masyarakat sipil mendapatkan kesempatan yang lebih luas dan terbuka dalam menyuarakan aspirasi politik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur, penulis menggali informasi dari dua undang-undang tersebut lalu melihat pola rekrutmen kepala daerah di dua undang-undang ini.

Kerja sama antar negara menjadi suatu prasyarat penting bagi sebuah negara dalam mengelola hubungan internasionalnya. Reformasi di Indonesia telah memberikan kewenangan dan otonomi kepada pemerintah daerah untuk mengadakan kerja sama melalui perjanjian internasional sebagai salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan dan memajukan kondisi wilayah mereka. Dalam penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hukum internasional berperan sebagai alat politik dalam pembentukan perjanjian antar negara. Perjanjian-perjanjian ini menjadi instrumen bagi negara-negara untuk membangun kerja sama dan memperkuat posisi mereka di tingkat internasional. Di Indonesia, dengan adanya otonomi daerah, pemerintah daerah memiliki sejumlah kewenangan untuk menjalin perjanjian internasional di dalam wilayahnya. Namun, kewenangan tersebut terbatas oleh kerangka regulasi hukum dan ruang lingkup pelaksanaannya. Dalam membuat perjanjian internasional, pemerintah daerah tetap harus mematuhi hukum nasional, melibatkan lembaga legislatif setempat, dan memastikan keselarasan dengan kepentingan nasional. Memahami batasan dan kejelasan mengenai kewenangan ini penting guna menjaga keselarasan antara otonomi lokal dan kedaulatan nasional dalam urusan internasional.

Osteoarthritis is a disease associated with articular cartilage degradation, intra-articular area inflammation, and subchondral bone replacement. Cytokine IL-1β has a prominent function in the inflammations process that passes in the joints. The 70% ethanol extracts of deer antler (250 and 500 mg/kg BW) and glucosamine sulfate (250 kg/BW) were evaluated for four weeks in reducing cytokine IL-1β to rat model OA-induced Monosodium iodoacetate. Measurements of joint diameter in rat’s knee and hyperalgesia were performed on weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The presence of a significant difference in the stimulation thermal latency (p = 0.00) and the resulting increase in swelling of joint diameter (p = 0.00) are evidence that MIA has successfully induced the rat modeling of OA. A significant decrease in cytokine IL-Iβ levels was shown on week 3 after MIA injection (p = 0.00). Both concentrations of deer extracts significantly reduced knee joint diameter (p = 0.00), latency thermal stimulation (p = 0.00), and cytokine IL-1β levels (p = 0.00). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the 70% ethanol extract of deer antler is a potential medicine for OA therapy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous in human society, and yet vast segments of the global population have no, little, or counterproductive information about AI. It is necessary to teach AI topics on a mass scale. While there is a rush to implement academic initiatives, scant attention has been paid to the unique challenges of teaching AI curricula to a global and culturally diverse audience with varying expectations of privacy, technological autonomy, risk preference, and knowledge sharing. Our study fills this void by focusing on AI elements in a new framework titled Culturally Adaptive Thinking in Education for AI (CATE-AI) to enable teaching AI concepts to culturally diverse learners. Failure to contextualize and sensitize AI education to culture and other categorical human-thought clusters, can lead to several undesirable effects including confusion, AI-phobia, cultural biases to AI, increased resistance toward AI technologies and AI education. We discuss and integrate human behavior theories, AI applications research, educational frameworks, and human centered AI principles to articulate CATE-AI. In the first part of this paper, we present the development a significantly enhanced version of CATE. In the second part, we explore textual data from AI related news articles to generate insights that lay the foundation for CATE-AI, and support our findings. The CATE-AI framework can help learners study artificial intelligence topics more effectively by serving as a basis for adapting and contextualizing AI to their sociocultural needs.

Therefore, the working hypothesis or alternative hypothesis that was proposed in this study is accepted. It states that there is a difference in the average critical thinking of students who use PBL-based mobile learning compared to students who use standard teaching materials. While the null or nil hypothesis, which states that "there is no difference in the average critical thinking of students who use PBL-based mobile learning and students who use conventional teaching materials," is rejected.

Stroke is a disease in which the sufferer experiences or experiences a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain so that the brain does not get a blood supply that provides oxygen. Patients who suffer from stroke will experience cognitive disorders ranging from decreased consciousness, visuospatial disorders, non-verbal learning disorders, communication disorders, and reduced levels of patient attention. Data from the World Stroke Organization shows that there are 13.7 million new stroke cases every year, and about 5.5 million deaths occur due to stroke. This research aims to analyze the attributes of any variables that affect the classification of strike disease and to test the performance of stroke classification in the form of accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure. The method used is a random forest using a tree, namely 50, 100, 200, and 500. The classification of stroke is divided into stroke and no stroke. The data used is 5110, divided into 70% training data and 30% testing data. The results showed that the performance of a random forest using 100 trees was better than using 50, 200, and 500 trees, with an accuracy value of 86.82%, a precision of 15.76%, a recall of 38.15%, and an f1-score 22.30% after doing SMOTE.

E-Objection is one of the services of the Directorate of Taxes that can be used by taxpayers in submitting tax objection letters. E-Objection is an adoption policy that is an alternative to the previous program, namely the manual submission of objection letters. E-Objection can be accessed via E-Filling. This research is motivated by the lack of exploration of the introduction of E-Objection to taxpayers that there are still many who submit objection letters manually. Based on the data submitted by the Directorate General of Taxes (Direktorat Jenderal Pajak/DJP) and previous research in 2021 based on 2020 data, data on submitting objection letters online (E-Objectionareis still very minimal so that are problems in analyzing the effectiveness of E-Objection. Therefore, this study was conductedtoo to analyze the effectiveness of E-Objection from 2020 to 2021 at KPP Pratama Cibitung, but because the data of taxpayers who submitted objection letters by E-Objection was confidential, it was hindered from interviewing informants who had accessed E-Objection besides that because E-Objection data could not be accessed from KPP Pratama, so in this study using two research objects, namely KPP Pratama Cibitung and Kanwil DJP II. So that the purpose of this study can determine the effectiveness of E-Objection as an alternative to the previous system. Based on E-Objection data in the West Java DJP Regional Office II in 2020 there were 109 data and in 2021 there were 115 data so it could be known that there was an increase, but based on the percentage of effectiveness criteria, the percentage of e-objection effectiveness in the DJP of the West Java Regional Office II in 2020 was 8.93% and in 2021 it was 9.75% so that it can be concluded that the analysis of the effectiveness of E-Objection in KPP Pratama Cibitung during the Covid-19 pandemic (2020-2021) was ineffective.

Document analysis of the standard operating procedure related to patients’ spiritual needs fulfilment and patients’ medical records were also undertaken in order to triangulate data and to get insights about patient spiritual and religious activity. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data.Results: Five themes and 12 sub themes were revealed from the study data. The five themes elicited from the study namely frequency, timing, barriers to perform religious activities, impact on health status and negative effects if not performing the religious activities. Religious activities such as salat and dhikr for schizophrenia inpatients are still performed five times a day and when they are not getting period. Feeling upset, restless, happy, grateful, and when they are missing their family was the common reason why patients perform the religious activities. The main barriers to performing salat and dhikr for example: insufficient prayer tools and Al-Qur’an, as well as patients’ physical conditions. Religious activities such as salat and dhikr positively impact patients’ physical and mental health status, mindfulness, and concentration. Negative impacts physical and emotional are released when patients did not perform salat and dhikr.Conclusion: The findings show that salat and dhikr which perform on time and regularly have a positive impact on the physical and mental health of schizophrenia inpatients. The author might recommend the mental health hospital provide adequate worship or prayer equipment (gown and Al-Qur`an) for patients.Keywords: salat, dhikr, Muslim, inpatient with schizophrenia, spiritual well-being

Edamame has been known as a vegetable soybean that is highly nutritious and has become popular in Indonesia. As for other crops, soybean cannot avoid the presence of weedy plants in the field. The study reported here aimed at determining the effect of tillage on weed and the growth and yield of soybean for edamame production. A randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three repetitions was used for the three tillage systems (zero, reduced, and conventional tillage). Data of soybean growth and yield component were collected and analysed with analysis of variance and mean separation of DNMRT at 5% level. Results show that most growth and yield parameter components (plant height, number of primary branches, number of leaves, number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, number of seeds per plant, and yield) were highest in favor of reduced tillage system. The highest yield of edamame soybean (13.50 ton ha-1) was observed in the treatment group of reduced tillage and the effect was similar to that of conventional tillage (13.29 ton ha-1). Reduced and conventional tillage resulted in the emergence of new weed species such as Digitaria sanguinalis and Synedrella nodiflora with the total SDR value for all treatment groups of 54.38% and 37.74%, respectively. In contrast, the application of herbicide glyphosate prior to land cultivation has completely controlled Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) and rough Mexican clover (Richardia scabra L.).

Image completion techniques have made rapid and impressive progress due to advancements in deep learning and traditional patch-based approaches. The surrounding regions of a hole played a crucial role in repairing missing areas during the restoration process. However, large holes could result in suboptimal restoration outcomes due to complex textures causing significant changes in color gradations. As a result, they led to errors such as color discrepancies, blurriness, artifacts, and unnatural colors. Additionally, recent image completion approaches focused mainly on scenery and face images with fewer textures. Given these observations, we present a structure-texture consistent completion approach for filling large holes with detailed textures. Our method focuses on improving image completion in the context of artworks, which are expressions of creativity and often have more diverse structures and textures from applying paint to a surface using brush strokes. To handle the unique challenges posed by artwork, we use Cohesive Laplacian Fusion that segments non-homogeneous areas based on structure diffusion and then applies texture synthesis to complete the remaining texture of the missing segmented area. This technique involves detecting changes in base structures and textures using multiple matched patches to achieve more consistent results. The experimental results show that our proposed method is competitive and outperforms state-of-the-art methods in missing regions and color gradations of art paintings.

Abstract Dioscoreaceae or yam is a family of tuber that comprises many members with variability in utilization and their intensity of consumption. This family has wide variability and is used not only as food but also for medical purposes due to their bioactive compounds. One of the Dioscoreaceae family is wild yam (Dioscorea hispida Dennst), rich in carbohydrates but has an obstacle of high cyanide level. Historically, along with cassava, wild yam is the staple food in some places in Indonesia. There is a long history of traditional detoxification methods of wild yam with slightly different steps among different places. The shifting of staple food to rice excludes wild yam consumption. One of the remaining products from wild yam is chips. Wild yam chips are a traditional snack that is also produced by traditional detoxification. This paper is aimed to review the scientific basis for each step in traditional wild yam chips processing to remove cyanogenic compounds. This review was based on the observations of traditional wild yam tuber chip processing and unstructured interview with the wild yam tuber chip maker at 6 locations in East Java, Indonesia. Relevant literature was used to explain the scientific basis of the detoxification methods based on the definite inclusion and exclusion criteria. Also, the variability of processing methods was compared among different locations. In general, the steps of traditional detoxification during wild yam tuber chips processing are slicing the peeled wild yam tubers, mixing with the rubbing ash, pressing, drying, soaking, boiling/steaming, and sun drying. Slicing, rubbing, and pressing in chips processing is aimed to convert cyanogenic glycoside into acetone cyanohydrin. The alkaline pH due to ash rubbing makes spontaneous decomposition of acetone cyanohydrin into HCN. HCN is easily removed by dissolution and heating (drying and steaming/boiling). Thermal treatment also spontaneously decomposes cyanohydrin into free HCN. All of the cyanogenic compounds are water-soluble which soaking and washing are aimed to remove all compounds. Consecutive, complicated, and time-consuming processing completely removes cyanogenic compounds and produces safe wild yam tuber chips. The key finding of this review is the purpose of every step in wild yam tuber detoxification has a scientific basis to reduce cyanogenic compounds gradually. This process produces a very low cyanide level in the final product. In conclusion, traditional detoxication reduces cyanogenic compounds to a safe level.

Penelitian ini menjelaskan tentang penggunaan Instagram sebagai third place virtual kaum pria selama pandemi Covid-19 melanda. Diketahui, selama pandemi Covid-19, aktivitas masyarakat terkungkung hanya di rumah saja sehingga rumah yang sedianya menjadi first place juga berfungsi sebagai second place, yaitu tempat kerja.

Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akun Instagram @bapak2id menjadi pilihan sebagai third place virtual karena konten dan interaksi yang dihadirkan di akun tersebut memenuhi delapan karakteristik yang disyaratkan Oldenburg (1989) agar sebuah tempat bisa disebut sebagai third place. Konten @bapak2id yang penuh humor, hangat, terbuka untuk siapa saja, dan low profile membuat kaum pria membentuk koneksi dengan para founder maupun dengan sesama pengikut akun tersebut.

Artistic image completion assumes a significant role in the preservation and restoration of invaluable art paintings, marking notable advancements through the adoption of deep learning methodologies. Despite progress, challenges persist, particularly in achieving optimal results for high-resolution paintings. The intricacies of complex structures and textures in art paintings pose difficulties for sophisticated approaches like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), leading to issues such as small-scale texture synthesis and the inference of missing information, resulting in distortions in lines and unnatural colors. Simultaneously, patch-based image synthesis, augmented with global optimization on the image pyramid, has evolved to enhance structural coherence and details. However, gradient-based synthesis methods face obstacles related to directionality, inconsistency, and the computational burdens associated with solving the Poisson equation in non-integrable gradient fields. This paper introduces a pioneering approach, integrating Weighted Similarity-Confidence Laplacian Synthesis to comprehensively address these challenges and advance the field of artistic image completion. Experimental results affirm the effectiveness of our approach, offering promising outcomes for the preservation and restoration of art paintings with intricate details and irregular missing regions. The integration of weighted Laplacian synthesis and patch-based completion across multi-regions ensures precise and targeted completion, outperforming existing methods. A comparative analysis underscores our method’s superiority in artifact reduction and minimizing blurriness, particularly addressing challenges related to color discrepancies in texture areas. Additionally, the incorporation of pyramid blending proves advantageous, ensuring smoother transitions and preventing noticeable seams or artifacts in blended results. Based on empirical results, our method consistently outperforms previous methods across both high and low resolutions. Responding to these insights, our approach emerges as an invaluable guide for both curators and artists. The algorithm’s performance yields insights that underscore the central role of thoughtful decision making in the creation of art paintings. This guidance extends to informing choices related to color selection, brushstrokes, and various other elements integral to the artistic process. During the creation phase, employing these insights enables artists and curators to optimize not only the digitization but also the subsequent restoration process. This proves especially vital when dealing with the intricacies involved in physically restoring damaged original art paintings. Importantly, our approach not only streamlines the restoration process but also contributes significantly to the preservation and enhancement of the digital representations of these distinctive and often intricate works of art.

The outdoor culture system is an extensive larval rearing system used to produce fingerlings using a large volume of facilities in outdoor conditions. This study was aimed at investigating the embryogenesis and early-stage development of larval golden rabbitfish reared in outdoor concrete tanks. Selected broodstocks were spawned in a tank equipped with a substrate for egg attachment. The larvae were reared in a 64 m3 concrete tank with sand substrate at the bottom, at a density of 5 individuals per liter for 25 days. The larvae were fed with rotifers and commercial powder feed during the experimental rearing. The results showed that female broodstock weighing 712 – 755 g had a fecundity of 413,400 – 585,000 eggs. Embryo development from the 2-cell stage to hatching took 20 hours and 10 minutes. The hatching rate was 44 – 66% at an egg diameter of 450 – 661 µm. D-1 larvae had a total length of 2.4 mm, and mouth opening occurred at late D-2. At the end of the experimental period, larval growth achieved a total length of 21.0 mm.

Differences in perspective on territorial boundaries between local communities with customary rights based on customary law and the definition of territorial boundaries in the context of state administration raises a dilemma, one of which is the potential for statelessness. The existence of ulayat customary land is a factor that affects illegal border crossings. The Governments of the Republic of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea responded to this by entering into basic agreements and special arrangements. This article aims to examine the implementation and effectiveness of special arrangements and basic agreements in dealing with the emergence of statelessness problems. This study uses a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the study found that the application of rules that were positivistic in nature could not be applied absolutely to residents of the border between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The use of red and yellow card policies is only temporary, so a permanent policy is needed to address this issue.

Objective. The positive effects of exercise on adiponectin and vitamin D have independently been reported. Recent studies have suggested that vitamin D increases adiponectin synthesis through inhibition of the rennin-angiotensin system in adipose tissue. However, studies evaluating the effects of an aerobic exercise on adiponectin and vitamin D simultaneously investigating the potential mechanism of vitamin D-dependent adiponectin pathways in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are still limited. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of aerobic exercise on adiponectin and its association with vitamin D in patients with T2DM.

Climate changes, rising warmth, drought, and CO2, are now seriously influencing agriculture. In this study, four separate greenhouses (labeled GH1, GH2, GH3, and GH4) were built with plastic roofs and walls, except GH1, which had three walls with mesh to evaluate the impact of temperature stress on growth, biomass, and yield of rice variety IR50404 under different temperature regimes. The control treatment group was grown ambient, next to these greenhouses. GH1, GH2, GH3, and GH4’s temperatures were from 0.9 oC to 3.1 oC higher than the ambient (as control). Carbon dioxide concentrations in GH2, GH3, and GH4 were recorded higher than the ambient, from 34.1 ppm to 48.2 ppm. Total vegetative dry matter was reduced from 15.9% to 20.5%, while grain yield declined from 20.8% to 24.6% when the mean temperature increased from 2.9 oC to 3.1 oC. High temperature or a combination of high-temperature stress with elevated CO2 concentration reduced the grain yield and total vegetative dry matter.

The Lon-Malang Beach tourist destination can be an alternative natural tourist destination for local tourists, domestic tourists and even foreign tourists. Various factors encourage tourists' interest in returning to visit the Lon-Malang beach destination because of the availability of various games. The destination image and transportation infrastructure, as well as social factors such as the friendliness of the population, provide a positive experience for tourists. Therefore, this research explores the relationship between destination image, accessibility, and tourist experience on tourists' revisit intentions through tourist satisfaction as a mediator. The quantitative method used in this research is the SmartPLS 4.0 application. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire from 190 visitors to the Lon-Malang tourist destination who participated in this research. The research results show that destination image has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction and revisit intention. This research also found that transportation infrastructure had a positive and significant effect on revisit intention, but did not have a significant effect on visitor satisfaction. Furthermore, tourist experience has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction and revisit intention. The results of this research will inspire governments, policy makers and tourism management to develop tailored program responses.

Cangkuk is a traditional fermented beef from Indonesia, especially Riau Province, as a specific food where the processing varies according to the ingredients, formulation, and incubation times. Kepayang endosperm is one of the materials used which contain organic acids, tannins, and polyphenol. However, research on beef fermented with addition of kepayang endosperm is still rare. This research was carried out to study the effect of fermentation times to fermented beef in terms of chemical properties, sensory test, and the population of lactic acid bacteria (Lab). A completely randomized design was performed with fermentation time as a treatment, namely: 0 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days. Data were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance. The result showed that the fermentation times up to 28 days have no significant effect to nutritional content, and populations of Lab, but significantly increased sensory properties (color, aroma, texture and taste) and could decreased the pH, total titratable acidity (TTA) and panelist acceptance. It can be concluded that fermentation time up to 28 days in processing of fermented beef could maintain nutritional content, populations of Lab, decrease pH, TTA and have good sensory properties.

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of the e-invoice 3.0 application and Taxable Person compliance on the increase in VAT revenues. To obtain the research sample, the author used a non-probability sampling technique with the convenience sampling method. The results showed that e-invoice 3.0 implementation and Taxable person compliance simultaneously had a positive and significant effect on VAT revenues with a value of 113,819. The author provides suggestions for the Primary Tax Office of Pasar Rebo, Jakarta to continue improving its services in providing information and campaign related to the use of e-invoice 3.0 to Taxable person to improve their compliance and also to increase the amount of tax revenue which can affect VAT revenues.

The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of implementing group discussions on improving Japanese listening skills in oral comprehension courses. This research is experimental research with Quasy Experimental method with Posttest only control group design. The sampling technique used was the non-probability sampling technique. So, the research sample consisted of 2 classes of 60 students. The data collection techniques used were observation and listening tests. Data analysis used a t-test to determine listening skills before and after using group discussions. The results showed that the value of t-Statt-Table (-13,863 2,0009), meaning that group discussions conducted through zoom positively impacted listening skills. Meanwhile, the level of oral understanding found from the listening test components shows a weakness in the evaluation component of the statements given from the information discussed. The ability to understand the questions in dialogue that are practised in group discussions becomes a very good component of oral comprehension. So, the results of this study have implications for the teacher's understanding that discussions improve students' speaking skills and can also affect the level of listening skills.

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of machine translation on Japanese writing skills. The ability to write Japanese is also understood through the components of writing. This study uses experimental research using a one-group experimental design. It was conducted at Private University in Jakarta. Data collection techniques are documents and written tests. The participants were 60 students who received the Writing Course. To determine the effect of using machine translation on Japanese writing skills, it was analyzed using the t-test: Paired Two Sample for Means. The results of the study concluded that machine translation had a significant impact on the completion of writing assignments so which led to an increase in writing ability. However, in the study of each component of writing, there are still weaknesses in the aspects of grammar and the development of logical ideas. Therefore, this research has implications for understanding how machine translation works, which has limitations and students must review their writings at the editing stage.
