Urban congestion and traffic inefficiencies pose significant challenges for developing cities such as Jakarta. Conventional traffic management systems often lack responsiveness and integration, leading to time delays, fuel wastage, and safety hazards. This study proposes the architecture of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) based on sensor monitoring as a solution to improve vehicle flow, surveillance, and timeliness within urban transportation networks. The objective is to develop a sensor-based ITS framework capable of real-time monitoring and decision-making through the integration of motion, ultrasonic, PIR (Passive Infrared), and speed sensors. The proposed system was simulated in the Jakarta metropolitan context, focusing on its feasibility and performance under dense traffic scenarios. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of four monitoring technologies—RFID, embedded sensors, IP address tracking, and QR barcode scanning—can significantly enhance the efficiency of traffic control. The framework enables vehicle surveillance, automated violation ticketing, and optimized travel time estimation. It also proposes a comprehensive four-layer surveillance system encompassing traffic, vehicle, passenger, and driver monitoring. This study contributes to the development of smart city infrastructure by offering a scalable ITS model that minimizes congestion, supports automated law enforcement, and enhances public transportation accessibility through digital integration. The findings serve as a baseline for future implementation and technological expansion of ITS in other congested urban regions.

Appropriated artwork refers to the practice of using pre-existing objects or images into new works of art with little or no significant changes to the original form. This trend developed into the Pop Art movement, where one of the characteristic features was the use of images from mass media, as seen in the works of Andy Warhol, including the transformation of Campbell's soup cans into iconic works of art. Although widely appreciated, this work has drawn criticism regarding copyright infringement, raising the question: where do one artist's rights draw on another? To what extent is the appropriation of copyright protected works considered legal without violating the rights of the original creator?
The research results show that the two legal systems differ significantly in the aspects of exclusive rights, moral rights, protected works, exceptions, and duration of protection. The challenge in understanding fair use lies in determining the boundaries between the rights of one artist and another. The fair use doctrine assesses four main factors: the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the original work, the proportion of the work used, and the impact on the market. Courts in the US often favor fair use if elements of transformation are identified, measuring the extent to which the appropriated work carries elements of originality or new creativity. Indonesia could consider adopting the fair use doctrine by adapting the concept through ministerial regulations or other implementing regulations.

Drama can be said to be a realistic depiction of a character's life. Culture itself is the customs, traditions and beliefs that exist in society so that culture is always present in drama. Life values ??also do not escape drama elements, one of which is in the drama ????? (t?ut?u cáng bù zhù). This research aims to describe the cultural values ??contained in the drama ????? (t?ut?u cáng bù zhù) based on Edwar Djamaris' theory, and describe the cultural symbols contained in the drama ????? (t?ut?u cáng bù zhù) using theory Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotics in two sides, namely signs and objects. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research using note-taking techniques. Data collection uses note-taking techniques and the results of previous research, journals, books and other documents regarding cultural values. Data analysis techniques use data reduction, data display and drawing conclusions. The result is that there are five cultural values ??contained in the drama ????? (t?ut?u cáng bù zhù) based on the theory of cultural values ??by Edwar Djamaris, namely the cultural value of human relationship with God, the cultural value of human relationship with society, the cultural value of human relationship with self. itself, the cultural value of human relations with humans, and the cultural value of human relations with nature. Researchers also found six cultural symbols contained in the drama ????? (t?ut?u cáng bù zhù) based on semiotic theory by Charles Sanders Pierce, namely red ornaments, lanterns, paper sticks, red packets, Chinese knots, and the writing ?. 

This study aims to analyze the translation of the meaning and aesthetics of the subtitles of the drama When We Were Young (???????) aired on the YouTube channel WeTV Indonesia, as well as discuss the translation of this drama as a literary work. The main focus of this study is to understand how the translator overcame linguistic and cultural challenges in translating the dialog-drama which is full of Chinese idioms and cultural expressions into Indonesian. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design to analyze the subtitle texts. The data used are purposively selected drama subtitles from several episodes that contain idiomatic and metaphorical elements. Literary translation theories, such as equivalence theory by Nida (1964), domestication vs. foreignization theory by Venuti (1995), and audiovisual translation theory by Gottlieb (1994), are applied in this analysis to explore how translators balance between fidelity to the source text and the limitations of subtitle space. The study found that translators often adopt a domestication approach to ease the understanding of Indonesian audiences, while still trying to maintain the original aesthetics and cultural nuances of the source text. The findings make an important contribution to the study of literary translation, especially in the context of audiovisual translation which requires attention to linguistic and cultural aspects simultaneously.

This research examines the morphological aspects of Indonesian with a focus on the process of word formation and changes in morphological structure in contemporary Indonesian language use. The aim of this research is to identify and analyze various morphological processes that occur in Indonesian word formation, as well as to reveal productive patterns of word formation in the development of modern Indonesian. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a morphological approach. Data was collected using skill-free listening (SBLC), note-taking techniques and documentation techniques from various written sources. Data analysis was carried out using the agih method using the technique for direct elements (BUL), loss technique, replace technique, and expand technique. The results of the research show that: (1) the affixation process is the most productive morphological process in Indonesian word formation, (2) new patterns were found in the reduplication process which reflect the dynamics of language development, (3) the composition process shows a tendency to form compound words which increasingly complex along with modern communication needs.
