Indonesia is an agricultural country with great potential in the agricultural sector, both as a source of livelihood and as an economic driver. This sector has an important function in food security, improving farmers' welfare, and preserving the environment. Given Indonesia's regional diversity, it is important to develop policies that suit the agricultural characteristics of each region. This research uses the clustering method, a technique that groups data based on similar characteristics so that objects in one group (cluster) have high similarities, while between clusters they are different. This research applies the clustering method to group provinces in Indonesia based on agricultural sector factors in 2023, using hierarchical and non-hierarchical techniques. The results show that the optimum clusters obtained using both single linkage and K-Means formed five optimal clusters. The Java Island cluster shows high productivity, while Riau, East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan have quite high productivity with minimal labor. The largest clusters have a lot of unmanaged land, increasing employment opportunities. Significant variables influence grouping.

The reliability of sterilization equipment, such as autoclaves, is essential to ensure patient safety, infection control, and operational continuity in healthcare facilities. Damage or malfunction of autoclaves may disrupt sterilization processes and pose significant risks to medical services. This study aims to develop an expert system for autoclave damage detection using the fuzzy logic method to support faster and more accurate diagnostic decision-making. The proposed system applies fuzzy inference to evaluate the level of damage based on input symptoms provided by users. By handling uncertainty and varying symptom intensities, the fuzzy logic approach enables proportional assessment rather than rigid rule-based classification. The system was designed through knowledge acquisition from technical experts and implemented using fuzzy membership functions and inference rules to determine damage severity levels. Experimental testing was conducted to evaluate system performance and diagnostic accuracy. The results indicate that the expert system successfully generated diagnosis outputs for all tested scenarios, achieving functional diagnostic accuracy within the defined test cases. The system was also able to calculate a quantified damage severity value of 11.6235981% based on the given symptoms, demonstrating its capability to assess damage levels numerically and objectively. Furthermore, the developed system significantly reduces the time required for damage detection compared to manual diagnostic procedures. Automating the evaluation process, it assists electromedical technicians in identifying faults more efficiently and taking preventive or corrective actions promptly. Overall, the implementation of a fuzzy logic-based expert system provides an effective, accurate, and practical solution for improving autoclave maintenance management and supporting healthcare service reliability.

This study presents the development and evaluation of an automatic passenger counting system for public buses using the YOLOv8 algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Accurate passenger counting plays a crucial role in optimizing public transportation operations, as it enables effective capacity management, reduces operational costs, and improves overall passenger comfort. Conventional manual counting methods are often inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to human error, particularly in high-density urban transportation environments. Therefore, an automated and intelligent solution is required to support real-time monitoring and operational decision-making. The proposed system employs deep learning-based object detection to identify and count passengers from video streams captured by cameras installed inside buses. Two camera positions, namely front and rear views, were evaluated to assess system performance under different visual conditions. The experimental results show that the system achieves high detection accuracy in the front camera view, with a confidence score of 0.82, indicating reliable performance in scenarios with minimal object occlusion. In contrast, the rear camera view demonstrates slightly lower accuracy, with a confidence score of 0.76, mainly due to increased object overlap and variations in lighting conditions. These findings emphasize the importance of appropriate camera placement and environmental consideration in improving detection reliability. In addition, the implementation of the proposed system enables real-time monitoring of passenger flow, which supports dynamic scheduling, demand-based route planning, and efficient fleet management. Accurate passenger data allows transportation operators to optimize service allocation, reduce congestion, and enhance overall service quality. Overall, this study contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems by demonstrating the practical applicability of deep learning-based passenger counting solutions. The proposed approach offers strong potential for real-world deployment in smart city environments, supporting the creation of more sustainable, efficient, and passenger-oriented public transportation services.

At this time the delay time that occurs on the DT-30T conveyance is 174 minutes and the DT-40T is 188 minutes. The biggest cause of delay time is the queue at the scales, namely on the DT-30T it is 80 minutes and the DT-40T is 85 minutes, thus causing actual productivity. The DT-30T was only 5.6 tons/hour and experienced a production loss of 0.4 tons/hour and the actual productivity of the DT-40T was only 6.9 tons/hour and experienced a production loss of 1.1 tons/hour. The aim of this research is to analyze the amount of delay time, production loss before and after improving the queue on the scales and how to reduce the queue time for scales on the DT-30T and DT-40T transportation equipment After processing the data, we obtain the Delay time on the DT-30T transport equipment after repairs the weighing queue is 33 minutes and the DT-40T is 28 minutes. The actual production of DT-30T after improvements to the weighing queue was 7 tons/hour and there was no production loss. Meanwhile, the actual production of the DT-40T after repairs was 9 tons/hour and there was no production loss.
