Dynamic programming (DP) is a foundational technique for solving multistage optimization problems; however, its classical formulation often incurs a cubic time complexity, rendering it impractical for large-scale real-world applications. This study proposes an accelerated dynamic programming framework that leverages quadrilateral inequality and convex monotonicity theory to significantly reduce computational overhead. By formally establishing the structural conditions under which DP decision boundaries exhibit monotone behavior, the proposed method eliminates redundant state transitions and maintains a sequence of admissible decisions through an efficient stack-based mechanism. The resulting algorithm achieves a worst-case complexity of O(n2) and can be further optimized to O(n) when convex monotonicity holds, representing a substantial improvement over traditional O (n3) techniques. Experimental validation using the classical stone-merging problem demonstrates that the accelerated method executes more than 60 times faster than the standard approach for large inputs, while maintaining identical optimal results. These findings confirm that embedding geometric regularities into DP formulations not only enhances performance but also broadens the applicability of dynamic programming to computation-intensive optimization tasks. This research contributes a mathematically grounded, scalability-oriented solution for accelerating dynamic programming, with implications for logistics, production planning, data segmentation, and other large-scale decision systems.

Hijaiyah letters have varying shapes, and some of them are very similar, often causing errors in the manual character recognition process. This study aims to classify Hijaiyah letters based on digital images using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method. This method was used in this study with a dataset consisting of 28 letter classes and a total of 4,480 images obtained from various public sources and private data. All images underwent a preprocessing stage that included labeling, resizing, normalization, and augmentation, then were divided into three parts, namely training data, validation data, and test data with a ratio of 70:20:10. The training process was carried out using the Python programming language with the help of the TensorFlow and Keras libraries on the Google Colab platform. The test results showed that the CNN model achieved an accuracy of 97.10%, with an average precision, recall, and F1-score of 0.97, respectively. Classification errors only occurred in letters that had similar shapes, such as Syin and Sin. Based on these results, the CNN method proved to be effective, efficient, and accurate in recognizing Hijaiyah letter image patterns, so it can be used as a basis for developing classification models with higher accuracy in the future.  

This study discusses the design and development of an automatic safety system for a wood cutting machine using Arduino Uno, a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, and a servo motor as the main components. The system is designed to automatically stop the movement of the wood cutting machine when human motion is detected around the cutting area, thereby minimizing the risk of work-related accidents.

MP3 audio files are often used in a variety of fields, but they are prone to security risks such as eavesdropping and illegal access. This study proposes a super encryption method by combining the algorithms of Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) and ElGamal to improve the protection of audio data. RSA was chosen for its efficiency and ease of implementation, while ElGamal offers a high level of security through discrete logarithmic complexity. The combination of the two is expected to address the weaknesses of each algorithm and strengthen file security. The system is developed using the Python programming language with the Visual Studio Code environment. The encryption process is done in layers: MP3 files are first encrypted with RSA, and then the results are encrypted again with ElGamal. The decryption is done in reverse order. Tests are conducted with various MP3 file sizes to measure the effectiveness and performance of the system. The results show that this method is able to secure audio files so that they cannot be accessed without the private keys of both algorithms. Although processing times are increased compared to single encryption, the level of security obtained is much higher. This approach can be an effective solution for protecting digital audio data, particularly MP3 format, and could potentially be applied to a wide range of other data types that require a high level of security.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has developed rapidly in recent years, making judgments and executing tasks in ways comparable to decisions made by the human brain. These technological advances allow AI to replace or complement human work in various fields, but they also raise complex legal questions regarding accountability for the actions it performs. This study employs a normative juridical research methodology, which emphasizes the analysis of laws and regulations, concepts, principles, and legal theories, using literature as the primary data source. The findings show that AI, despite its advanced capabilities, remains a legal object rather than a legal subject. In accordance with Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 on the Implementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions in Indonesia, AI cannot be considered a legal entity with independent rights and obligations. Consequently, AI cannot be held legally accountable for its actions, as it operates under human creation, programming, and direction. Responsibility for any consequences arising from the use of AI lies with the individuals or institutions that develop, operate, and control it. This study highlights the importance of establishing a clear legal framework to regulate AI applications, ensuring that technological innovation aligns with legal certainty and accountability. It concludes that while AI may imitate human decision-making, it lacks autonomy in the legal sense and therefore cannot bear responsibility under positive law.
