This activity also opens up opportunities for the development of history-based cultural and educational tourism as a form of sustainability. Thus, this community service activity confirms that preserving local history through an asset-based approach can strengthen identity, empower communities, and provide sustainable social, cultural, and economic benefits.

The Student Evaluation of Lecturers (EDOM) at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Dr. Soetomo has historically been conducted via Google Forms and processed manually, resulting in slow response times, repetitive recap procedures, and insufficiently documented reporting validity. This study aims to design, build, and evaluate a web-based EDOM system using the Prototype Model (MODEL PROTOTYPE) to improve data collection efficiency, recap accuracy, and the effectiveness of feedback for teaching quality assurance. The development method comprises requirements elicitation with the Quality Assurance Unit through a review of SPMI documents and brief interviews, architectural and interface design (Laravel, MVC pattern, and MySQL), staged prototyping, and rapid iterations based on stakeholder feedback until functional conformity is achieved. The resulting system provides authentication and role-based authorization (Admin, GPM, Lecturer, Student), odd/even period management, a question bank employing a Likert scale, anonymous questionnaire submission, score recap per lecturer and per category (pedagogical, professional, personal, social), dashboard visualizations, and report export to support governance needs. Functional evaluation was conducted through black-box testing on core scenarios (login, period scheduling, submission, recap, and export) and indicated conformance to specifications. User acceptance evaluation employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention; the results indicate positive acceptance and potential for operational adoption. Practically, the prototype approach accelerates requirement alignment, reduces the risk of mis-specification, and facilitates change control, while the Laravel-based implementation supports maintainability, role-based access security, and further feature development. The study is limited to a single faculty; future work may include SSO integration, audit trails, and longitudinal, cross-semester analytics for more comprehensive monitoring of lecturer performance.

Museums are essential for preserving culture and history, especially in cities like Jakarta, which have a history that spans from prehistoric times to modern times. The Fatahillah Museum in Jakarta is the best place to learn history because it has a collection of artifacts, important documents, and thematic exhibitions. The museum is not only a center for education, but it also helps to promote local culture through various activities such as workshops and seminars. The main challenge to improving the visitor experience is poor layout and circulation of the space. The way visitors enjoy the collections on display in the museum is greatly influenced by the layout, including the way the space is arranged. The Fatahillah Museum uses a hub-and-spoke and linear layout to direct visitors in a systematic way. But there are some problems, such as limited space, unergonomic collections and a poor navigation system. The space is filled with unique but sometimes confusing vertical and horizontal circulation grooves due to the architectural style of colonial Dutch museums. Factors such as visibility, lighting, and ergonomics also play a role in improving visitor comfort. With over 615,000 visitors in 2023, this problem is becoming more apparent, especially during busy holidays. To address this, the layout must be optimized, modern navigation is used, and the design of the exhibition hall must be updated to become more interactive and help students learn. In addition, arranging the collection chronologically and thematically can help visitors understand the historical and cultural context of the museum's collections.

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic disease characterized by progressive fibrosis, altered liver architecture, and the formation of regenerative nodules. Although it develops slowly, cirrhosis often leads to serious complications such as ascites, variceal bleeding, jaundice, and hepatic encephalopathy. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, cirrhosis is among the leading causes of death worldwide, with more than 1.4 million deaths annually. In Indonesia, the prevalence of cirrhosis is reported at 0.4% (Riskesdas, 2021) and shows an increasing trend over the years. This case study aims to describe the application of comprehensive nursing care in a patient diagnosed with liver cirrhosis using the nursing process approach. The research design was a case study conducted on Mr. R, who was admitted to Dahlia Ward at RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and medical record reviews. The results revealed that the main nursing problems identified were ineffective peripheral perfusion, ineffective breathing pattern, and knowledge deficit. Nursing interventions provided included positioning the patient in semi-fowler, monitoring vital signs, educating the patient about low-sodium diet and fluid restriction, and collaborating in the administration of diuretics and albumin. After three days of nursing care, the evaluation indicated clinical improvement, evidenced by reduced edema, decreased shortness of breath, and increased patient understanding of his disease and treatment plan. In conclusion, nursing care with a comprehensive process approach has a significant positive impact on the condition of patients with liver cirrhosis. Nurses play an essential role in assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and providing health education to prevent complications and improve patients’ quality of life.

Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation, faces considerable challenges in meeting its food requirements in accordance with Law No. 18 of 2012 on Food Security. The country’s heavy reliance on wheat imports, ranking as the largest wheat importer globally, highlights the urgency of diversifying local food sources. This study aims to explore the utilization of jali flour (Coix lacryma-jobi L.), mocaf flour (Modified Cassava Flour), and soybean flour as raw materials for producing fettucini pasta, with the addition of green spinach extract for natural coloring and nutritional enhancement. A quantitative experimental method was employed, testing three formulations of jali and mocaf flour combined with soybean flour. Sensory evaluations were conducted with 35 panelists—comprising trained, semi-trained, and untrained participants—to assess color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The findings revealed that flour composition significantly influenced pasta’s sensory attributes. The F2 formulation (50% jali flour, 50% mocaf flour, 20% soybean flour) achieved the highest acceptance, with average scores across all parameters rated as “liked” to “highly liked.” The incorporation of spinach extract not only imparted an appealing natural green hue but also enhanced the product’s nutritional profile, particularly in iron and dietary fiber content. These results underscore the potential of combining jali and mocaf flours as a nutritious, gluten-free pasta alternative that supports local food diversification and reduces reliance on imported wheat.

Conventional robotic surgical systems, while offering enhanced dexterity and 3D visualization, suffer from a critical limitation: the absence of tactile sensation. This sensory disconnect can lead to inadvertent tissue damage from excessive force application and complicates delicate maneuvers that rely on the surgeon's sense of touch. This research proposes and validates a novel surgical robotic system architecture designed to bridge this sensory gap by integrating high-fidelity 3D visual input with accurate, real-time force feedback from tactile sensors mounted on the end-effector. To rigorously evaluate this innovation, a structured comparative methodology was employed. A cohort of surgeons performed standardized surgical tasks, including suturing and tissue manipulation, on realistic soft-tissue phantoms. The performance of a conventional (visual-only) system was benchmarked against that of the proposed (visual-haptic) system. A comprehensive dataset was collected, which included objective metrics such as task completion time, precision deviation from the ideal tool path, and the magnitude of applied forces. Concurrently, subjective evaluations from the participating surgeons were gathered to assess perceived control, cognitive workload, and overall task confidence. The test data revealed statistically significant improvements when using the visual-haptic system. Participants not only completed tasks with greater speed and accuracy but also applied considerably lower and more consistent forces. The analysis underscores that haptic feedback, enabled by advanced sensor fusion, not only restores a crucial 'sense of touch' to the surgeon but also reduces the incidence of excessive force application, potentially minimizing tissue trauma and improving patient recovery. These findings confirm the hypothesis that haptic-visual integration constitutes a new paradigm in robotic surgery, shifting the paradigm from purely visual guidance to a more intuitive, multi-sensory surgical experience. This study also discusses future challenges and opportunities, including the potential for AI-driven partial autonomy, such as creating virtual safety boundaries or automating sub-tasks, and the development of next-generation sensor technologies to further enhance clinical outcomes.

Kotagede, one of the historic districts in Yogyakarta, boasts a rich cultural and architectural heritage that makes it a prominent destination for walking tours. Walking along its historic alleys, traditional buildings, bustling markets, and local life offers visitors an authentic cultural tourism experience. However, the current design of walking tours in Kotagede still tends to emphasize historical narratives and architectural visualization, leaving the multisensory potential of the area underutilized. This study aims to analyze how tourists perceive sensory experiences (visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile) during walking tours in Kotagede and to identify the most dominant elements that shape such experiences. The research employed a descriptive, qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The participants consisted of 32 tourists who had just completed a walking tour, selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that visual experience is the most dominant sensory element, particularly through traditional architecture and historic buildings. Auditory elements, such as birdsong and market activities, enrich the atmosphere, while tactile experiences with building materials provide authenticity and strengthen tourists' emotional connection with local history.Meanwhile, olfactory elements, such as the aroma of spices, incense, and aged wood, contribute to the overall ambiance, though occasionally disrupted by unpleasant odors from waste. Gustatory experiences are often encountered during tours of local culinary products, demonstrating strong potential as markers of cultural identity, although they are not yet fully integrated into the tour itinerary. These findings highlight a gap between Kotagede's multisensory potential and the existing design of the walking tour. Therefore, the development of more holistic sensory-based walking tours is necessary to enhance visitor satisfaction while reinforcing Kotagede’s cultural identity as a meaningful heritage destination.

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has significant potential for the utilization of renewable energy, particularly wind energy in maritime areas with low wind speeds (3–6 m/s). This study aims to design and test a vertical Savonius wind turbine system equipped with a Perturb and Observe (P&O) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm as a power source for shipboard water heating systems. The research method applied is Research and Development (R&D), integrating several components such as a DC generator, full-wave bridge rectifier, INA219 current sensor, anemometer cup sensor, ESP32 microcontroller, and a monitoring interface utilizing Google Spreadsheet and a 20x4 LCD. The system was tested under two operating conditions: without MPPT and with MPPT. The experimental results show that the application of the MPPT algorithm successfully increased power output by up to 272.64% while maintaining voltage stability despite varying wind speeds. Nevertheless, the average output power of 2.605 W remained insufficient to meet water heating requirements within a short time. For example, charging a 12V 50Ah battery would require approximately 9.6 consecutive days of operation, highlighting the system’s limitations in high-demand scenarios. Despite these constraints, the findings demonstrate that the vertical Savonius wind turbine integrated with MPPT has strong potential as a clean and environmentally friendly alternative energy solution for maritime applications, particularly for small-scale onboard electrical loads. This study contributes to renewable energy utilization in the shipping sector and provides a foundation for further technological development and optimization.

The proliferation of fake news across digital platforms has raised critical concerns about information reliability. A notable example is the viral rumour falsely claiming that the Nigerian Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had collapsed at an event and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital an entirely fabricated claim that caused public confusion. While both traditional machine learning and deep learning approaches have been explored for automated fake news detection, many existing models have been limited to topic-specific datasets and often suffer from overfitting, especially on smaller datasets like ISOT. This study addresses these challenges by proposing a standalone Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model for fake news classification using the ISOT dataset. Unlike multi-modal frameworks such as the MM-FND model by state-of-the-art model, which achieved 96.3% accuracy, the proposed BiLSTM model achieved superior results with 98.98% accuracy, 98.22% precision, 99.65% recall, and a 98.93% F1-score. The model demonstrated balanced classification across both fake and real news and exhibited strong generalization capabilities. However, training and validation performance plots revealed signs of overfitting after epoch 2, suggesting the need for regularization in future work. This study contributes to the growing body of research on fake news detection by showcasing the efficacy of a focused, sequential deep learning model over more complex architectures, offering a practical, scalable, and robust solution to misinformation detection

The spice industry faces significant challenges in maintaining product weight consistency as part of quality assurance and compliance with production standards. A case at PT X revealed that a newly installed filling machine produced deviations from the target weight of 50 grams, with hypothesis testing showing that out of 30 samples, 17 samples fell outside the  confidence interval. To mitigate this issue, this study proposes the development of a real-time data-driven Decision Support sistem (DSS) combined with statistical approaches. The methodology includes two-tailed hypothesis testing to detect weight deviations and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify dominant failure causes based on high Risk Priority Numbers (RPN), such as delayed machine calibration, operator error, and worn-out machine components. These findings serve as the foundation for designing the DSS architecture, which consists of sensor input modules, statistical data processing, risk mapping, and an automated corrective recommendation engine. The sistem is designed to enable early detection of deviations, accelerate response time to quality issues, and support data-driven decision-making on the production floor. The study concludes that a structured implementation of DSS can be an effective strategy to improve product weight consistency and enhance operational efficiency in spice manufacturing.
