The need for practical, efficient, and long-lasting makeup is increasing, especially among women who are active in daily activities such as work, college, and social activities. One important element in creating a fresh, expressive, and attractive facial appearance is the condition of the eyelashes. Curled eyelashes can give the impression of larger, fresher, and more vibrant eyes. In makeup practice, there are various ways to curl eyelashes, including using eyelash curlers and mascara. Eyelash curlers are known to provide instant results with a noticeable curling effect, but they are often less durable and have the risk of damaging eyelashes if not used properly. Conversely, using mascara alone is considered more practical and safe, but often less than optimal, especially for individuals with short or straight eyelashes. This study aims to compare the results of eyelash curl and durability between the use of a conventional eyelash curler combined with mascara and the use of mascara alone in morning makeup. The research method used was a quantitative experiment with a One Shoot Case Study design. The research subjects consisted of six female students of the Makeup and Beauty Study Program, Padang State University, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Two treatment groups were formed, each receiving a different makeup technique. Seven panelists assessed the curl and durability of the eyelash makeup throughout the day through direct observation and photographic documentation. The results showed that the combination of using an eyelash curler and mascara provided significantly better curl and durability than mascara alone. A t-test confirmed a significant difference in curl (p = 0.001) and durability (p = 0.003). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the combination of an eyelash curler and mascara is recommended for users who desire maximum, fresh, and long-lasting morning makeup results throughout their daily activities.

This study focuses on the development of an intelligent enemy behavior system in the 2D maze game Dungeon Escape by combining the A* algorithm for pathfinding and a Behavior Tree (BT) structure for decision-making. The main objective is to enhance Non-Playable Character (NPC) intelligence, enabling more adaptive and realistic interactions with players. The A* algorithm is implemented to allow NPCs to pursue players through the shortest and most efficient paths while avoiding obstacles on a grid-based map. Meanwhile, the Behavior Tree framework is designed to manage NPC actions based on dynamic conditions, such as attacking when in close proximity, chasing players within a certain detection radius, and retreating to the original guard position when the player leaves the active zone. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, system design, and implementation using the Unity game engine. Testing procedures consist of both white-box and black-box approaches to evaluate the correctness, functionality, and efficiency of the system. The results indicate that all major game features—including player navigation, combat mechanics, key collection, enemy pathfinding, and user interface interactions—operate smoothly as expected. Furthermore, NPCs exhibit adaptive behavior by dynamically switching between patrolling, chasing, and attacking modes depending on the player’s location and proximity. Performance testing shows that the integrated A* and BT system runs efficiently without significant delays or instability, even in higher-level stages with more complex layouts. The final game prototype includes seven progressively challenging levels, offering players an engaging and dynamic gameplay experience. This study demonstrates that the combination of pathfinding and decision-making algorithms provides an effective solution for designing intelligent NPCs, improving both realism and entertainment value in 2D games. The findings are expected to serve as a useful reference for future research and development in AI-based game design, particularly in the context of Unity game projects.

Additionally, there was a significant reduction in physical complaints, particularly lower back pain, which had been a common issue due to the manual labor involved in fertilizing. The tool proved to be easy to construct, requiring minimal technical knowledge, and the farmers were able to adopt the technology independently. The high rate of adoption among farmers further emphasizes the tool’s potential for widespread use. The success of this program also suggests that this simple, affordable technology could be replicated in other agricultural regions, benefiting more communities by improving work efficiency, reducing physical strain, and fostering a sustainable approach to farming practices.

Traffic congestion in Jakarta has become a serious problem, affecting various aspects of life, such as time efficiency, environmental quality, and economic productivity. As one solution to overcome this problem, the Jakarta government is developing a mass public transportation system, including the Light Rail Transit (LRT). The LRT is expected to reduce congestion by providing a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation alternative. In the process of planning and optimizing the LRT system, discrete mathematics, particularly graph theory, plays a very important role. Graph theory is used to model the LRT station network and track, with vertices representing stations and edges representing connecting lines between stations. With this model, various analyses can be performed to optimize the LRT line, such as finding the shortest path between two stations or evaluating the connectivity between existing stations. The use of graph theory allows the identification of more efficient routes, resulting in faster travel and reduced passenger waiting times. In addition, graph theory also plays a role in optimizing the LRT route by minimizing the number of transfers between stations or avoiding passenger congestion at certain stations. With proper route and network optimization, the LRT can make a significant contribution to reducing traffic congestion in Jakarta. Furthermore, the development of an efficient public transportation system also supports improved air quality and reduces reliance on private vehicles. Overall, the application of graph theory in LRT system planning is a strategic step towards creating more efficient and sustainable transportation in large cities like Jakarta. Beyond route optimization, graph theory is also very useful in analyzing route capacity and passenger distribution along the LRT system.

This study investigates the corrosion inhibition potential of a newly synthesized organic compound, (E)-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylamino)pent-3-en-2-one (LASA3), using computational chemistry approaches. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory with the Gaussian09 software package to evaluate several key quantum chemical parameters. These parameters include total energy, the energies of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO), the energy gap (ΔEgap), dipole moment, chemical hardness, softness (σ), and the number of electrons transferred (ΔN). The computational results reveal that LASA3 exhibits a higher EHOMO value and a smaller ΔEgap compared to its precursor molecules, referred to as S.M.1 and S.M.2. A higher EHOMO value suggests that LASA3 has a greater electron-donating ability, which enhances its interaction with the metal surface. Likewise, the reduced ΔEgap indicates greater chemical reactivity and a higher likelihood of forming stable coordination bonds with iron atoms on the carbon steel surface. Electrostatic potential (ESP) map analysis further supports these findings by highlighting the distribution of electron density within the LASA3 molecule. The ESP maps show significant electron-rich regions localized around nitrogen and oxygen atoms, which are potential active sites for adsorption onto the steel surface. This adsorption process plays a crucial role in blocking active corrosion sites and reducing the rate of metal degradation. In conclusion, the theoretical analysis confirms that LASA3 has superior electronic properties for corrosion inhibition compared to its starting materials, S.M.1 and S.M.2. Its ability to donate electrons, favorable dipole characteristics, and strategically located electron-rich sites make it a promising candidate for further experimental evaluation as an efficient corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel applications.  

This study investigates the relationship between fiscal dependence, the effectiveness of locally generated revenue (PAD), and the degree of fiscal decentralization on the Human Development Index (HDI) in four regencies on Madura Island Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep which have consistently reported the lowest HDI scores in East Java Province. Utilizing panel data from 2011 to 2023, the findings indicate that all regencies remain highly fiscally dependent, with fiscal dependency ratios exceeding 89%. Central government transfers dominate local budget structures, significantly limiting local fiscal autonomy. While PAD effectiveness shows notable achievements such as Pamekasan’s 136.09% realization rate its contribution to total regional revenue remains relatively low. This is reflected in the modest degree of fiscal decentralization, which ranges between 8.56% and 10.72%. Such fiscal limitations hinder the ability of local governments to invest in strategic sectors that directly impact human development, including education, healthcare, and public services. The analysis also reveals that despite effective PAD realization, its nominal value is insufficient to drive substantial improvements in HDI, especially when not supported by strengthened fiscal capacity and local economic mobilization. These findings suggest that PAD effectiveness alone does not translate into better human development outcomes without broader fiscal empowerment. Therefore, a comprehensive fiscal decentralization strategy is required one that not only enhances revenue generation but also improves budgetary governance and optimizes local economic resources. Strengthening local fiscal autonomy is essential for ensuring targeted, efficient, and equitable investment in human development sectors, ultimately fostering sustainable regional development across Madura Island.

Negotiation is the most fundamental form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), emphasizing the peaceful settlement of conflicts through direct dialogue between disputing parties without involving a third party. In Indonesia, negotiation has become one of the most widely used ADR mechanisms and has developed across various fields, including civil law, labor relations, administrative disputes, and environmental issues. This study aims to analyze negotiation as an ADR forum from two main perspectives. First, a theoretical review that examines the principles of negotiation, its stages, as well as its advantages and limitations compared to other dispute resolution mechanisms. Second, a practical review that elaborates on the implementation of negotiation within the Indonesian legal context through case studies of disputes resolved through negotiation. The research employs a normative-juridical approach to analyze the legal foundations and principles governing negotiation, combined with an empirical review through case data exploration and interviews with legal practitioners. The findings indicate that negotiation offers several advantages, including efficiency in time and cost, procedural flexibility, and the potential for mutually beneficial solutions (win–win solutions). However, this study also identifies challenges such as unequal bargaining positions between parties, limited legal recognition of negotiation outcomes, and the insufficient capacity of negotiators or informal mediators to fully grasp legal aspects. Based on these findings, the study recommends several strategic steps: enhancing legal recognition and protection for negotiation outcomes, strengthening the capacity and competence of negotiators through legal and communication skills training, and expanding the use of negotiation as an initial step in resolving various types of disputes. With stronger legal frameworks and improved human resources, negotiation has the potential to become a more effective, efficient, and sustainable dispute resolution instrument in Indonesia.

Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU) are important facilities that provide various types of fuel such as gasoline, diesel, and Pertamax to meet the needs of motorized vehicles. The existence of SPBU greatly helps the public in obtaining fuel at a more economical price compared to purchasing retail. However, the transaction system at SPBU generally still uses conventional methods, such as cash payments or the use of debit/credit cards that have not been fully integrated with an efficient digital system. The use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology has been implemented as a non-cash transaction method at several SPBUs, but this system still has various weaknesses, such as limited device compatibility and delays in transaction processing. This prompted the author to develop the concept of an independent SPBU based on modern technology that is more efficient and secure. The proposed innovation includes the use of contactless smart cards and coin acceptors for the payment system, allowing users to make self-service transactions without operator involvement. In addition, the author also added several supporting components such as proximity sensors, which function to detect the presence of vehicles or people around the SPBU area. These sensors can help in saving electrical energy by activating the system only when needed. Another component is a vibration sensor, which plays a crucial role in detecting excessive vibrations that could potentially cause leaks. If excessive vibration is detected, the system automatically closes the solenoid on the pump to prevent the risk of fire or damage. By integrating this technology, the autonomous gas station system is expected to improve operational efficiency, user convenience, and safety during the automatic refueling process. This development is expected to be an innovative solution for modernizing the gas station system in Indonesia.
