Rice pest control is one of the main challenges in the agricultural sector in Indonesia. Pests such as planthoppers, stem borers, and rats can cause significant losses to crop yields. Currently, many farmers have difficulty identifying pest types and how to control them quickly and effectively. Therefore, a technological solution is needed that can detect pests directly and provide recommendations for action. This study aims to design an Android-based application that is able to detect types of rice plant pests using visual images and provide recommendations for handling. This application is designed using digital image processing methods and is supported by a large pest database. This technology is expected to be an efficient and practical solution for farmers. The research method used in developing this application is a qualitative method, involving interviews with farmers, agronomists, and data collection related to pests and their damage patterns. This application utilizes AI-based pattern recognition technology to detect pests through photos taken directly by farmers. The results of the study showed that this application was able to detect several types of major pests with an accuracy of up to 85%. In addition, this application provides recommendations for handling steps based on guidelines from the Ministry of Agriculture. The trial showed that this application can help farmers identify pests faster than manual methods. The main contribution of this research is to create a technology-based solution to agricultural problems in Indonesia, especially in the rice sector. With this application, farmers can increase their yields through early identification and proper pest management. In future implementations, this application will continue to be developed to detect additional pests and expand its database. It is hoped that this application can be an important tool in supporting smart farming in Indonesia.

This study aims to identify and analyze the diversity of true ferns (Filicinae) in Curug Ciparay, Desa Cidugaleun, Tasikmalaya Regency, a region with significant potential for botanical research due to its supportive microclimatic conditions, including high humidity and cool temperatures. Using a descriptive qualitative method, involving direct observation, documentation, and interviews, the study identified 15 species of true ferns in the area, with species distribution influenced by variations in microhabitats, especially humidity and lighting. These ferns contribute not only to biodiversity but also play essential ecological roles in maintaining soil moisture, preventing erosion, and providing habitats for small fauna. The findings underscore the importance of conservation efforts involving the local community to protect the ecosystem from human activities, such as tourism. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for conservation strategies and sustainable management in Curug Ciparay.

Topic modeling is an integral text mining component, employing diverse algorithms to uncover hidden themes within texts. This study examines the comparative performance of prominent topic modeling techniques on news headlines, which is characterized by brevity and specific linguistic style. Given the corpus originates from a non-native English-speaking country, an additional layer of complexity is introduced to the task. Our research explores the feasibility of employing a committee approach for topic modeling, evaluating the efficacy and challenges of various methods in practical settings. We applied three techniques—Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), and BERTopic—to create models with a fixed number of topics (n=40). These models were then tested on approximately 150,000 news headlines. To assess topic coherence, we utilized Word2Vec, human evaluators, and two large language models. Statistical tests confirmed the significance and impact of our findings. BERTopic demonstrated superior coherence compared to NMF, though slightly, but consistently outperformed NMF and LDA according to human and LLM evaluations. The notable disparity in LDA's performance relative to BERTopic and NMF underscores the importance of carefully selecting a topic modeling technique, as the choice can significantly influence the outcome of the analysis.
