This research aims to design a closed fish smoking device using coconut fiber as an energy source to smoke cursed fish or snakehead fish, which is different from traditional smoking equipment. This research was carried out in the tool making stage and the tool testing stage. This fish smoking tool modification is designed from an iron, aluminum frame and stainless steel rack. The open process of smoking fish at home has disadvantages such as unknown temperature and smoke, resulting in uneven maturity levels and longer smoking times. The research method was carried out by making tools and testing the tools. The time required for the process of smoking fish using this modified tool is around 50 to 60 minutes with the fuel amount being 2 kg of coconut husks and coconut shells with 150 ml of kerosene. This smoking tool is more efficient in carrying out smoking because the smoke is trapped in the drum tube, there is only one chimney so that the smoke is more easily absorbed by the fish and has a more distinctive characteristic in smoking.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), Poverty Rate (TK), and Unemployment Rate (TPT) on the Human Development Index (HDI) in five provinces of Indonesia categorized as having moderate HDI from 2014 to 2023. The research employs a panel data regression method using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach to capture variations across regions and time.The findings reveal that the UMP has a positive and significant impact on HDI, indicating that higher minimum wages contribute to improvements in human development. In contrast, the TPT negatively and significantly affects HDI, suggesting that higher unemployment rates hinder human development progress. Meanwhile, the TK variable shows no significant effect on HDI, implying that changes in poverty rates during the study period did not directly influence human development levels in these provinces.Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis show that UMP, TK, and TPT simultaneously have a significant impact on HDI, with an overall contribution of 98.65%. The remaining 1.35% is attributed to other factors not included in the research model.These results highlight the importance of policies aimed at increasing minimum wages and reducing unemployment to enhance community welfare and accelerate human development in provinces with moderate HDI. Policymakers are encouraged to design comprehensive strategies that prioritize employment creation and wage improvements as key levers for boosting human development outcomes across regions.

This study aims to analyze the influence of character competencies and the intensity of virtual item purchases on the financial management of PUBG Mobile players in Indonesia. Character competencies are studied through indicators of discipline, responsibility, investment, driving factors and self-control. Meanwhile, the purchase intensity of virtual items is measured based on the frequency of purchases, the number of items purchased, the level of satisfaction, the desire to buy, and the type of items purchased, such as skins, weapons, and clothing. A descriptive-verifiable approach was used in this study, with a structured questionnaire distributed to 61 active PUBG Mobile players who had purchased virtual items. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 4 to evaluate the validity and reliability of the measurement model, as well as identify the relationships and significance between variables. The results showed that character competence and the intensity of purchasing virtual items significantly affected players' financial management practices. Players with a higher level of character skill tend to have good discipline and self-control, which allows them to manage the game budget more efficiently and not spend too much. In contrast, intensive purchasing behaviors are associated with increased awareness of financial limits, where players adjust their spending habits to balance in-game needs and real-life priorities. This research emphasizes how important character competencies are to encourage players to make wise financial decisions. The study also emphasizes how important it is for players to understand how their purchasing intensity is, which can help them make better financial planning

The increasing consequences of global climate change underscore the necessity for the integration of low-carbon education and renewable energy frameworks within the educational paradigm for learners. This study develops a training curriculum for Youth Scientific Paper/Karya Ilmiah Remaja (KIR) that incorporates these principles to enhance students' scientific proficiency. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, thirty indexed scholarly articles from the last decade were rigorously analyzed. The results reveal that the inclusion of low-carbon education and renewable energy within KIR training programs significantly improves students' abilities in critical thinking, problem-solving, and data analysis while concurrently fostering environmental awareness. Effective implementation strategies include project-based learning, hands-on renewable energy experiments (such as solar panels and wind turbines), and collaborations with environmental organizations. However, challenges such as limited resources, insufficient mentor training, and inadequate policy support hinder successful implementation. Despite these obstacles, the integration of low-carbon education and renewable energy within KIR initiatives holds substantial promise for cultivating environmentally responsible scientific skills among students. This initiative aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), thus contributing to a more sustainable future.

This study aims to analyze and understand the problem of corruption in government procurement of goods and services in Indonesia. Corruption in this sector has become a serious issue, considering its detrimental impact on state finances and the people's economy. The research method used is normative juridical, with a statutory approach that refers to applicable regulations. The results of the study indicate that the factors that influence corruption include weak planning and budgeting processes, lack of transparency and accountability, and inadequate law enforcement. In addition, overlapping authorities and high procurement costs also contribute to corrupt practices. This study concludes that to overcome the problem of corruption in government procurement of goods and services, a comprehensive reform of the procurement system is needed, including increasing transparency, accountability, and public participation. In addition, strengthening law enforcement and implementing stricter sanctions against perpetrators of corruption are very important to create a conducive climate for clean and efficient procurement. The recommendations resulting from this study are expected to be a reference for policy makers in creating a procurement system that is more transparent, accountable, and free from corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN).

Diabetes is the body’s inability to efficiently break down sugar or secrete enough insulin required to process glucose, which supports normal bodily functions. Diabetes, as a prevalent chronic disorder, has contributed to numerous underlying health challenges among its carriers and is classified by the WHO as the world’s deadliest disease and silent killer. Its non-communicable nature makes early diagnosis difficult, allowing progression through various stages: type I, type II, pre-diabetes, and gestational. This challenge is further compounded by the imbalanced nature of diabetes datasets, which leads to high misclassification, poor generalization, and reduced accuracy. This study predicts diabetes using a bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model applied to two datasets: (a) PIMA Indian Diabetes and (b) Iraqi Society Dataset, to evaluate the impact of six known balancing techniques and assess their effectiveness. Results show that for PID, the SMOTE-Tomek fused BiLSTM outperforms other balancing schemes with F1, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and Specificity scores of 0.9182, 0.9198, 0.9128, 0.9248, and 0.9208, respectively. For ISD, it also achieves the best performance with values of 0.9367, 0.9369, 0.9386, 0.9388, and 0.9313, respectively. Other balancing approaches yielded F1 scores ranging from [0.6751 to 0.9347], accuracy [0.684 to 0.9358], Precision [0.6851 to 0.9296], Recall [0.6639 to 0.9356], and specificity [0.6658 to 0.9298]. These results imply that BiLSTM is resilient to the vanishing gradient problem and can effectively classify diabetes cases with enhanced performance.
