The shipping industry is closely related to economic growth in various countries. This transportation is very dependent on export and import activities. As the country's economy improves, especially in Asia, the maritime transportation business in Indonesia will also develop. The pattern of sending goods via sea transportation has changed, especially in terms of bulk transportation. which demands modern technology such as automation and intelligent control systems. This research aims to design and develop Android-based spreader control using Arduino Mega 2560 on a floating ship. This project is designed to increase efficiency and ease of operation in the loading and unloading process on ships, which previously still used manual control with a remote control or joystick which had limitations such as limited visibility. In this research, the spreader control system is connected to an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller via the HC-05 Bluetooth module, allowing the operator to control the spreader via an Android device. Test results show that data is obtained at a distance of 1 to 13 meters, the Android-based spreader control system shows a response time ranging from 1 to 9 seconds, which shows that the system is functioning properly. At a distance of 14 to 19 meters, the response time increases to 18 seconds, indicating quite good system performance. This shows that there is quite significant latency in data transmission. However, the system still managed to carry out spreader control well. At 20 meters, the system failed to respond to the spreader control. This shows that the effective range of this Bluetooth module is below 15 meters. This research makes a significant contribution to the development of automatic control technology in the shipping industry, especially in the use of intelligent control systems integrated with mobile devices.

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a significant financial risk factor, particularly in developing countries where financial systems are often less resilient to environmental shocks. This study explores the relationship between climate-related financial risks, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and economic stability in developing nations. It highlights how both physical risks, such as extreme weather events (e.g., floods and droughts), and transition risks, including regulatory changes and shifts toward a low-carbon economy, deter FDI and contribute to economic volatility. The findings show that developing countries, which are more vulnerable to these risks, experience reduced FDI inflows due to the increased costs of adaptation and the potential for operational disruptions. Additionally, the study finds that countries with weaker financial institutions and governance structures are more susceptible to the economic instability induced by climate risks. The analysis suggests that climate risk mitigation strategies, such as strengthening financial sectors, improving governance, and implementing effective climate policies, can help reduce these risks and create a more stable investment environment. The research also identifies gaps in the literature, particularly the combined effect of climate risks and financial instability on FDI, which warrants further exploration. The study calls for more comprehensive research, particularly focusing on regional case studies and sector-specific impacts, to guide policymakers in fostering a climate-resilient economic environment that attracts sustainable foreign investment.

Fraud and money laundering are two forms of economic crime that harm many parties, both individuals and institutions. In order to combat and eradicate these crimes, law enforcement authorities often face difficulties in securing and recovering assets obtained from illegal activities. Therefore, the use of asset confiscation mechanisms becomes crucial in an effort to restitute victims and recover illicitly obtained funds.This thesis examines the practical legal challenges faced by the legal system in confiscating criminal assets. These include the process of investigation and gathering valid evidence, as well as the challenges of dealing with concealment and diversion of assets by criminals. Limited resources and differences in legal systems between countries are also factors that affect effective asset forfeiture.Next, the author reviews various strategies and policies that can be implemented to improve the efficiency of confiscating criminal assets. The main focus includes increased cooperation between law enforcement agencies, the use of modern technology in asset analysis and tracking, as well as efforts to raise public awareness about the importance of returning illegally obtained assets.Finally, the author presents decision Number: 1221/Pid.B/2020/PN JKT.SEL or a successful case in conducting asset confiscation for fraud and money laundering. These cases provide valuable lessons on effective tactics and strategies in facing the challenges of economic crime.In conclusion, asset forfeiture is an important tool in the fight against fraud and money laundering. Through greater international cooperation, improved legal systems, and the implementation of appropriate strategies, it is hoped that asset recovery efforts related to economic crime can become more successful and have a positive impact on victims and society as a whole.  

Urban green-space conflicts have emerged as a significant challenge for marginalized communities, exacerbating existing social and environmental inequalities in cities undergoing rapid urbanization and environmental transitions. This study explores the dynamics of access to justice for marginalized groups in the context of urban green-space conflicts, focusing on the barriers they face and the enabling factors that improve their ability to access legal remedies. Through a socio-legal research design, data was collected using surveys, case reviews, and stakeholder interviews, which were analyzed to identify key physical, socio-economic, and institutional barriers that hinder equitable access to green spaces. Findings revealed that marginalized communities often experience physical barriers such as limited proximity to green spaces, socio-economic disparities that prevent them from accessing legal resources, and institutional constraints, including discriminatory urban planning policies. Despite these challenges, enabling factors such as legal aid networks, participatory forums, and inclusive urban planning policies emerged as crucial elements in improving access to justice for these communities. Moreover, the study examined the impact of social and environmental transitions, such as urbanization and climate change, on justice outcomes, showing that these transitions can either exacerbate or alleviate barriers depending on how policies are implemented. The study emphasizes the need for policy reforms that promote equity in urban planning and legal aid systems, ensuring that marginalized communities are included in decision-making processes. Future research should explore the impact of environmental justice policies in global contexts and investigate new legal frameworks to address the specific needs of vulnerable populations.

This study investigates the impact of social protection expenditure on income inequality and Human Development Index (HDI) across multiple countries from 2000 to 2020. Using panel data regression analysis, the study explores whether higher public social spending on healthcare, education, and social services significantly reduces income inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient, and enhances HDI. The results indicate a strong positive correlation between social protection spending and both reduced inequality and improved HDI. Specifically, countries with higher social protection expenditure, especially those with social-democratic welfare models, exhibit lower income inequality and higher HDI scores. The analysis also highlights significant country-level differences, revealing that while high-income countries with comprehensive social protection systems tend to perform better in terms of human development, low- and middle-income countries with limited spending face persistent challenges in reducing inequality and improving HDI. Further, the study discusses the mechanisms through which social protection policies influence human development, particularly through improved access to education, healthcare, and social services. The findings suggest that integrating social protection with broader economic policies can lead to sustainable reductions in inequality and improvements in human development outcomes. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of social protection in fostering inclusive growth and human development, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive and efficient social protection systems, especially in developing countries.

Durian is one of the leading fruit commodities with high economic value in various tropical regions, including Indonesia. However, the durian cultivation process often faces challenges related to unstable environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, soil moisture, and nutritional deficiencies which can affect the level of plant fertility and the quality of the fruit produced. Therefore, an effective and efficient monitoring system is needed to optimize durian plant care. This research aims to develop a fertility monitoring system for durian trees using Internet of Things (IoT) technology which can help farmers manage the environmental conditions of plants in real-time. The designed system uses various sensors, such as soil moisture sensors, air temperature and humidity sensors, light intensity sensors, and soil nutrient sensors, to collect relevant environmental data. The data obtained from these sensors is then processed by a microcontroller and sent via the IoT network to a cloud-based storage platform. The trial results show that this system can monitor environmental conditions with high accuracy and provide appropriate maintenance recommendations, thereby increasing efficiency in managing durian plants.

The rapid development of technology increases the need for effective and efficient information. Information that is not managed properly loses value, especially when large amounts of data are available, making conventional methods no longer adequate to analyze the potential of the data. Therefore, a system capable of analyzing, summarizing, and extracting data into useful information is required. The Department of Agriculture and Food Security, as an agency that handles food security, agriculture, animal husbandry, animal health, and fisheries, is responsible for supporting the increase in agricultural yields to meet the food needs of the population and encourage economic growth. To achieve this goal, the agency needs to utilize technology to process agricultural data quickly and accurately. The system built using the apriori method can analyze data efficiently and provide recommendations for increasing agricultural yields. Based on the test results, a support value of 9% and a confidence of 68% were obtained, with the rule If the crop is Cassava, then the production yield is 6000-8000 tons.

In this modern era, handling environmental issues such as climate change and waste management is becoming increasingly crucial. The Waste Bank Program in South Rejowinagun plays a central role in the Climate Village initiative, aiming to increase community awareness of waste management through sorting and recycling. This initiative relies on active community participation to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and lower greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing to environmental cleanliness and climate change mitigation. Apart from positive ecological impacts, the Waste Bank also creates economic opportunities for the community by implementing a waste "savings" system, where each separated type has monetary value. The methods used, including lectures, counselling and training, are designed to educate the public, including PAUD children, about the importance of effective waste management. Although this program has shown positive results, challenges like a lack of public understanding remain. To overcome this and increase program effectiveness, a more intensive educational approach and strengthening collaboration networks between communities are needed.

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the waste management system in Dusun 3, Pasirwangi Village, Pasirwangi Subdistrict, Garut Regency, which currently lacks both a landfill (TPA) and a temporary disposal site (TPS). As a result, residents are accustomed to improperly disposing of waste, including in the river, leading to environmental pollution. Through socialization efforts, a program for separating organic and non-organic waste was introduced. Organic waste is processed into liquid fertilizer using a mixture of organic waste, rice water, and sugar, which also produces magots that can be cultivated. Non-organic waste is repurposed into handicrafts. Additionally, trash bins were provided to improve disposal facilities. The results of the study show behavioral changes among residents in waste management, although not yet fully optimal. The evaluation highlights the need for more trash bins, increased environmental awareness, as well as the development of handicrafts from non-organic waste and magot cultivation as an economic resource. In conclusion, waste management in Dusun 3 has shown progress but still requires continuous improvement, especially regarding facilities and environmental education.
