Technological innovations in autonomous vessels developed by Japan, such as the MEGURI2040 project, have opened up great opportunities in improving maritime efficiency and strengthening economic ties with ASEAN countries. These technologies offer operational advantages through cost reduction, route optimization, and enhanced maritime safety, which can promote economic integration in the region. However, the adoption of autonomous ships also presents challenges, including the need for regulatory harmonization, port infrastructure improvement, and cybersecurity risk management. This study analyzes the impact of autonomous ship innovation on the logistics sector, workforce, maritime safety, and the potential for technological cooperation between Japan and ASEAN. The results show that the adoption of this technology can strengthen regional cooperation, but requires technical readiness, mature regulations, and multilateral collaboration to overcome emerging challenges. Therefore, the integration of autonomous ship technology in ASEAN requires not only a strategic approach, but also a shared commitment to create stability and sustainable economic growth in the region.

This study aims to design and implement animated stickers as an educational medium for drug abuse prevention using the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. The MDLC process includes six phases: concept, design, material collection, development, testing, and distribution. In the concept phase, the educational goals and target audience are defined. The design phase involves creating visual sketches and animations using Adobe animate. In the material collection phase, relevant information about drug abuse is gathered from trusted sources. During the development phase, the animated stickers are created, incorporating visual and textual elements to convey anti-drug messages. The testing phase evaluates the effectiveness of the stickers using a survey of 100 adolescents aged 13-18 years. The results show a significant increase in understanding of drug abuse, with a 48% improvement in comprehension after exposure to the animated stickers, as measured by a Likert scale survey. The effectiveness was primarily evaluated based on user feedback regarding visual appeal, message clarity, and motivation to avoid drugs. The final phase involves distributing the animated stickers through social media platforms and messaging apps, targeting a broader audience. This study demonstrates that animated stickers are a highly effective tool for increasing drug awareness among young people

Minimalist design has become a dominant trend across various visual media, from digital advertising to mobile applications. Generation Z, as digital natives with high exposure to visual content, exhibits unique preferences toward minimalist design. However, limited research has focused on identifying which elements of minimalist design most influence their visual preferences. This study aims to analyze the impact of key minimalist design elements—white space, simple typography, neutral colors, and layout—on the visual preferences of Generation Z. A quantitative approach was adopted using a survey-based methodology. The study involved 200 respondents from Generation Z in Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire employing a 5-point Likert scale to measure preferences for each minimalist design element. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to identify the most influential elements. The findings reveal that white space is the most influential element for Generation Z, with an average score of 4.3 and a regression coefficient of 0.45 (p < 0.01). Neutral colors and simple typography also show significant impacts, with coefficients of 0.32 (p < 0.05) and 0.28 (p < 0.05), respectively. Conversely, layout demonstrated the least influence, with a coefficient of 0.15 (p > 0.05). These results confirm that Generation Z favors clean, simple, and focused designs that effectively use white space and calming color palettes. This study contributes to the graphic design literature by offering insights into the visual preferences of Generation Z. Practically, the findings provide actionable guidelines for graphic designers to create more effective digital campaigns targeting young audiences. Future research is recommended to explore cross-cultural variations in visual preferences and the role of specific media platforms in shaping these preferences.

In embedded systems, serial communication plays a crucial role in data transfer, particularly in Arduino-based projects. However, factors such as electromagnetic interference, noise, and signal degradation can compromise data integrity, leading to significant errors. Effective error detection systems are essential to ensure reliable data exchange. The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is one such method known for its ability to detect errors. Despite its potential, the practical application and impact of CRC on Arduino communication systems have not been extensively explored. This study implements CRC within Arduino serial communication by designing and developing software that integrates CRC for real-time error detection. The study rigorously tests this implementation in various scenarios to evaluate its performance, comparing data integrity with and without CRC. The results show that incorporating CRC significantly improves the reliability of data transmission in Arduino applications, enhancing error detection accuracy. This improvement strengthens existing systems and provides a solid foundation for developing more complex communication frameworks. The research advances reliable communication systems in embedded technologies. By demonstrating CRC's effectiveness in enhancing data integrity, the study offers valuable insights for developers and researchers seeking to improve serial communication across different applications.

In today's digital landscape, effective data management is essential for organizations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that often struggle with traditional manual methods, leading to inefficiencies and data inaccuracies. This research aims to investigate the implementation of phpMyAdmin, a web-based database management tool, to enhance administrative systems within SMEs. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative case studies and quantitative surveys to gather comprehensive insights into user experiences and operational performance. The findings reveal that the adoption of phpMyAdmin significantly improves data management efficiency, with 75% of respondents expressing satisfaction with its user-friendly interface. However, challenges such as security vulnerabilities and the necessity for user training were also identified, indicating that while phpMyAdmin offers substantial benefits, organizations must address these issues to fully leverage their capabilities. The implications of this research suggest that SMEs should prioritize investing in user training and implementing robust security measures to mitigate risks associated with data management. By doing so, organizations can enhance their operational efficiency and decision-making processes. Future research should focus on the long-term impacts of phpMyAdmin and explore its integration with other management systems to further optimize organizational performance.

This paper addresses the growing need for effective educational tools in greenhouse gardening, particularly for beginners lacking prior agricultural knowledge. Despite the increasing availability of mobile applications aimed at agricultural education, many existing resources fail to engage users through interactive experiences, thereby limiting their practical skill development. This study identifies a significant knowledge gap regarding the specific needs of novice gardeners and the effectiveness of current educational applications. To address this gap, we developed an innovative mobile application designed to facilitate asynchronous learning through interactive features such as discussion forums and quizzes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving user testing with 30 participants to evaluate the application’s usability and engagement levels. The results indicated that 90% of users found the application intuitive and easy to navigate, with enhanced motivation attributed to its engaging visual design. These findings suggest that the proposed application not only meets the educational needs of users but also fosters a more interactive and responsive learning environment. The implications of this research highlight the potential for mobile applications to significantly improve practical knowledge and skills in greenhouse management, ultimately contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices
