Abstract

Background. Electronic waste (e-waste) has become one of the fastest-growing waste streams in Indonesia as rapid digitalization, increased consumer demand for electronic devices, and limited recycling infrastructure create significant environmental and public health challenges. Current disposal patterns—dominated by informal collection, open burning, and landfilling—pose risks related to soil contamination, toxic emissions, and exposure to hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. Purpose. This study aims to review national policies, regulatory frameworks, and best practices related to e-waste management in Indonesia through the conceptual lens of the circular economy. Method. The research employs a qualitative literature review design, synthesizing scholarly articles, government documents, international reports, and case-based analyses of e-waste management initiatives. Comparative analysis is used to identify gaps between policy intentions and implementation outcomes while highlighting successful practices at both national and regional levels. Results. Results show that CE-based initiatives—such as formal recycling facilities, producer take-back programs, and repair–reuse ecosystems—have begun to emerge but face barriers related to limited institutional capacity, low public awareness, and dominance of the informal sector. Conclusion. The study concludes that strengthening national coordination, scaling up CE-driven business models, and integrating community participation are essential for Indonesia to achieve sustainable e-waste management aligned with circular economy principles.

Abstract

The transition of medical technology from passive monitoring to autonomous, closed-loop intervention is critically impeded by the latency and power inefficiencies of traditional Von Neumann computing architectures. This study investigates the efficacy of neuromorphic hardware as a solution, aiming to validate a bio-inspired architecture capable of sub-millisecond decision-making for life-critical applications. Employing a rigorous hardware-in-the-loop simulation framework, we benchmarked a custom Spiking Neural Network (SNN) against industry-standard microcontrollers, utilizing large-scale cardiac and neurological datasets to evaluate inference speed, energy consumption, and signal fidelity. Quantitative results reveal that the neuromorphic system achieved a 94% reduction in end-to-end latency and a thirty-eight-fold improvement in energy efficiency compared to the digital baseline. The event-driven architecture successfully maintained 96.4% diagnostic accuracy while operating within a negligible thermal envelope suitable for implantation. These findings definitively establish that mimicking biological asynchronous processing eliminates fatal temporal delays, validating neuromorphic “artificial brains” as the essential technological foundation for the next generation of responsive, privacy-secure, and energy-autonomous medical implants.

Abstract

In the digital age, socialization processes and identity formation have become increasingly intertwined with digital platforms and technologies. The digital environment presents new opportunities and challenges in the development of self-concept and social interactions, which have significant implications for various developmental stages. However, there is limited research exploring how digital spaces influence identity formation, especially from a developmental perspective. This study aims to investigate how digital socialization processes impact identity formation across different age groups and developmental stages, focusing on the interaction between online and offline environments. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with individuals from diverse age groups. The survey explored the frequency and nature of digital interactions, while the interviews provided in-depth insights into personal experiences with identity formation in digital spaces. The findings reveal that digital platforms significantly influence self-concept and identity development, with younger individuals more likely to engage in self-exploration through digital spaces. Digital socialization plays a critical role in identity formation, particularly in adolescence and early adulthood. Future research should focus on how digital interactions shape identity development over time and across different cultural contexts.

Abstract

The increasing pressure to integrate sustainability into industrial practices has led to the need for more efficient systems optimization models that address resource constraints. Traditional optimization models in industrial engineering have focused predominantly on maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs, often overlooking the long-term environmental and social impacts. This research explores the intersection of sustainable development and systems optimization under resource limitations, aiming to develop a comprehensive framework that balances economic, environmental, and social factors in industrial processes. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining literature review, case studies from various industrial sectors, and mathematical optimization models. The results demonstrate that the integration of resource constraints into industrial systems significantly improves both operational performance and sustainability outcomes. Industries, particularly in manufacturing and logistics, showed considerable improvements in production efficiency and reductions in energy consumption and material waste. The research concludes that resource-constrained optimization models can lead to more sustainable industrial practices without compromising economic efficiency. The findings provide a valuable contribution to the field of industrial engineering, offering a framework that can be applied across diverse sectors seeking to optimize their systems within the boundaries of available resources. Future studies should extend these models to include more complex industrial sectors and explore long-term sustainability impacts.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the gig economy on the livelihoods of creative-preneurs in Southeast Asia, with a focus on income stability, creative autonomy, and business sustainability. The research aims to analyze both the opportunities and structural challenges faced by creative-preneurs operating through digital platforms. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a quantitative survey of 100 creative-preneurs across multiple Southeast Asian countries with in-depth semi-structured interviews involving 20 selected participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical correlation and regression techniques, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings reveal that while 72% of respondents experience significant income fluctuations and 65% report decreased job security, a majority benefit from increased creative autonomy and business growth. A significant positive relationship was found between creative autonomy and business expansion, whereas income instability negatively affected job satisfaction and career sustainability. The novelty of this research lies in its sector-specific and regional focus, addressing a gap in existing gig economy studies that largely overlook creative industries in Southeast Asia. The implications of this study extend beyond socio-economic analysis, contributing conceptually to physics-related modeling of complex systems and uncertainty, as well as to physics education by offering real-world contextual applications for data analysis, system dynamics, and interdisciplinary problem-solving within STEM-based learning frameworks.
