The development of sophisticated technology for human life starts from the development of computerized technology, information and communication technology, and technology in the field of mechanics, especially robotics. Robotics technology is a form of technological change that creates innovations all the time. The purpose of this design was to implement the technology concept of the Raspberry Pi microcontroller in the form of military applications, household chores, industrial areas monitoring, and security maintenance that may cause high dangerous risks without the user going directly to carry out the activities. The method used in developing the concept of merging audio and video followed the MJPEG Streamer and Darkice method. The product was a robot that resembles a car made using wheels that moves in the direction the user wants via an Android control. The communication employs a Raspberry Pi server sent from the robot to Android by displaying a streaming screen on the application. The data obtained are in images and sounds generated from the camera on the robot.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an autoimmune disease caused by abnormal regulation of blood sugar, with type 2 DM representing 90 - 95% of total DM incidence. One of the preventive measures to improve blood sugar control is the regulation of eating patterns. The purposes of the present work were therefore (1) to determine the proximate composition, carotene and anthocyanin contents, starch digestibility, and antioxidant capacity of Baturraden white rice, Baturraden organic brown rice, and Sirampog black rice; and (2) to determine the effect of feeding these rice on fasting blood sugar and malondialdehyde (MDA) production in diabetic rats. Sirampog black rice had higher levels of carotene and anthocyanin, and higher radical scavenging activity than Baturraden organic brown and white rice. In diabetic rats, Sirampog black rice (Δ = 153.80 mg/dL) could reduce fasting blood sugar more effectively than Baturraden organic brown rice (Δ = 124.48 mg/dL) and Baturraden white rice (Δ = 14.62 mg/dL). Diabetic rats treated with Sirampog black rice also presented the lowest MDA levels of 2.62 nmol/mL when compared with that of Baturraden organic brown rice (3.96 nmol/mL) and Baturraden white rice (10.14 nmol/mL). Based on these results, patients with DM are advised to consume Sirampog black rice. In the future, it is necessary to perform trials in patients with DM to determine the effect of Sirampog black rice on fasting blood sugar and diabetic weight loss.

Food waste is a global issue that has been around for a long time but is unconsciously becoming more serious. This is also experienced by Indonesia, which also contributes to donating food waste. Food waste can occur from upstream to downstream from production to consumption. Farmers as actors in food production are also not spared from food waste behavior. This study aims to determine what factors affect food waste for farmer households in Klaten Regency. In addition, it provides ways of handling non-consumable food and strategic recommendations for the government in responding to the phenomenon of food waste to support food security. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical. The number of samples used was 30 farmers in Klaten Regency. The selection of Klaten as the research location was determined purposively because this location is the largest rice-producing area in Central Java. The data analysis method used in this research is multiple regression. The results showed that two variables affect food waste: the level of education and the number of family members. The significance value of the two variables is 0.0000, so that the value is less than the alpha value of 0.05. Inadvertently, some households have processed the leftover food, such as making it as organic fertilizer. In addition, several households provide leftover food to livestock. The strategic step that the government must take in tackling this food waste problem is to conduct a massive campaign and, if necessary, implement it in the education system so that people are more aware of food waste.
Indebtedness is an element to foresee household financial wellbeing. This vulnerability could be determined objectively and subjectively. Objective financial vulnerability is the objective ability to make ends meet that is analyzed using household income and characteristics. Measurement in subjective welbeing is determined by household perceptions in their ability to make ends meet. Household behavior with different perceptions will behave differently. Indebtedness is analyzed using the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 with the Ordinary Least Square method. The inferential shows that both objective and subjective financial wellbeing influence household indebtedness.

Law is a set of rules that exists in society to create order. Law is created by humans and for humans. As such, it should be able to humanize humans. Law must be present in the midst of any social circumstances, including once when Indonesia was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergence of the COVID-19 should be immediately addressed by issuing a policy to regulate lectures during the pandemic so that they can still run effectively as they should. This research implemented a descriptive qualitative method. Data and information related to the effectiveness of lectures in legal studies during the pandemic were collected. The data were then presented in words and analysed in a comprehensive description. The results show that the lectures during the pandemic had not been effective for many limitations experienced by students and lecturers. Furthermore, from a legal perspective, there are no clear rules/policies in regulating how lectures are conducted in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic so that they can run effectively. ; Hukum merupakan sebuah aturan yang dimana keberadaannya mempunyai tujuan supaya tercipta ketertiban dan keteraturan di dalam masyarakat. Hukum dibuat oleh manusia, untuk manusia, dan sudah seharusnya hukum mampu memanusiakan manusia. Di samping itu hukum yang dicita-citakan juga harus mampu dijadikan sebagai sebuah dasar dan pedoman dalam suatu tindakan. Karena hukum tidak pernah berhenti, tidak pernah final, melainkan selalu berproses untuk menjadi dan menuju, maka hukum pun harus menyesuaikan perkembangan zaman sesuai dengan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakatnya. Hukum harus dihadirkan di tengah-tengah tatanan masyarakat, tidak terkecuali ketika bangsa Indonesia tengah dilanda wabah covid-19 seperi sekarang ini. Semua komponen tanpa terkecuali, mulai dari sektor ekonomi, sosial, politik, bahkan hingga sektor pendidikan pun juga terkena dampak dari pandemi covid-19. Sektor pendidikan, terutama jenjang perkuliahan yang merupakan ujung tombak dari sebuah Negara dalam rangka menyiapkan ...

Much progress has been made in text analysis, specifically within the statistical domain of Term Frequency (TF) and Inverse Document Frequency (IDF). However, there is much room for improvement especially within the area of discovering Emerging Trends. Emerging Trend Detection Systems (ETDS) depend on ingesting a collection of textual data and TF/IDF to identify new or up-trending topics within the Corpus. However, the tremendous rate of change and the amount of digital information presents a challenge that makes it almost impossible for a human expert to spot emerging trends without relying on an automated ETD system. Since the U.S. Government (USG), one of the largest purchasers of products and services, is using the Request for Proposals (RFP) to award contracts for various Information Technology and other services, this project will use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to mine the wealth of textual data that is embedded within the RFPs to develop an ETDS to identify emerging technology trends. The preliminary results show good promise that NLP may well be leveraged to mine text data and create an accurate ETDS.

PurposePrior research has found that consumers' purchasing behavior varies amongst consumers of different cultures. The purpose of this paper is to examine the behavior of consumers of luxury products by investigating the relationships between their collective-oriented values (pertaining to religion, family, and community), and their materialism or materialistic orientation, resulting in them using such products to signal their social status to others, and whether they are getting satisfaction from using such products, in an effort to understand how the behaviors vary between Malaysian and Saudi Arabian consumers.Design/methodology/approachData were collected by a questionnaire survey where 1,388 self-administered questionnaires were collected from Baby boomers, Generations X and Y respondents in two major cities: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The authors also assessed the structure and reliability of the constructs developed for this research as well as tested some hypotheses regarding their interrelationships, across the two different cities/cultures.FindingsFindings demonstrate the complexity of cultures and lifestyles of consumers and societies. For Saudi consumers, their materialistic tendency is significantly influenced by their religious, family values (inverse relationship), and community values, whereas for the Malaysian consumers, this tendency was only significantly influenced by their family values. For the Saudis, there were strong positive relationships between materialistic values and product status signaling and between product status signaling and product satisfaction, whereas for the Malaysians, both relationships were also positive but only moderate in strength. Overall, the results show that the Malaysians were more materialistic than the Saudis. But, since the Saudis have higher income, they are in a better position to fulfill their materialistic desire than their Malaysian counterparts.Research limitations/implicationsThe convenience sampling used for the study is the main limitation. Another limitation of this study is that it was done in only one major city in each of the two countries.Practical implicationsConsumers from the two cultures/cities do use luxury products to signal their status in the society, despite their different cultures and country income levels and that the consumption of those products gave both of them satisfaction. Hence, as a practical implication, international marketers of luxury products and services could and should continue to market their products and services in these two countries. However, they need to understand that the factors that influence the consumers' materialism are different between the two cultures/cities and hence their marketing strategies need to take this into consideration.Originality/valueAll the issues discussed in this study have not been previously empirically investigated and compared in two different developing countries – Saudi Arabia, a mono-cultural and high-income country) and Malaysia (a multi-cultural and upper middle income country) despite their rapid growth rates and economic importance.
