Abstract

This study begins with the analysis of the growing challenge of accurately diagnosing eye diseases, which can lead to severe visual impairment if not identified early. To address this issue, we propose a solution using Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) enhanced by transfer learning techniques. The dataset utilized in this study comprises 4,217 images of eye diseases, categorized into four classes: Normal (1,074 images), Glaucoma (1,007 images), Cataract (1,038 images), and Diabetic Retinopathy (1,098 images). We implemented a CNN model using TensorFlow to effectively learn and classify these diseases. The evaluation results demonstrate a high accuracy of 95%, with precision and recall rates significantly varying across classes, particularly achieving 100% for Diabetic Retinopathy. These findings highlight the potential of CNNs to improve diagnostic accuracy in ophthalmology, facilitating timely interventions and enhancing patient outcomes. For future research, expanding the dataset to include a wider variety of ocular diseases and employing more sophisticated deep learning techniques could further enhance the model's performance. Integrating this model into clinical practice could significantly aid ophthalmologists in the early detection and management of eye diseases, ultimately improving patient care and reducing the burden of ocular disorders.

Abstract

The newborns mortality rate in Indonesia is still quite high, indicated by the neonatal mortality rate (AKN) of 15 per 1000 Live Births, where the target is only below 10 per 1000 Live Births. This mortality rate can be caused by Low-Birth-Weight (BBLR) cases that leads to death. One form of handling for these cases is using a Baby Incubator for intensive cares, which requires monitoring manually and requires the presence of a nurse around the baby incubator so that the condition of the baby incubator room remains stable. Several studies have been conducted and produced a smart incubator system to address these shortcomings. However, most of the smart incubators only focused on monitoring the condition of the incubator room without observing the condition of the baby inside. Based on this, a study was conducted that focused to producing a smart baby incubator that is capable of real-time monitoring of of room conditions (temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels) and baby conditions (temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation, baby crying, and baby visuals) by applying the Internet of Things (IoT). The results of this study have the largest number of parameters monitored compared to previous studies.

Abstract

In implementing tahfidz qur'an learning in Islamic boarding schools, students must face many activities, and they are usually given up to five times a day. Almost all of these activities must be recorded by the teacher in a logbook so that there is the potential for slow and invalid reporting. This study aims to create an integrated monitoring instrument of tahfidz qur'an and reveal its validity and practical values. This study was conducted using a research and development (R&D) approach. The instrument was created by combining the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) development procedure and the Rapid Application Development (RAD) development procedure. Furthermore, the application of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm into the application creation process aims to produce a monitoring instrument that is integrated into various types of devices and can provide data and information on the student's achievement of tahfidz qur'an learning to all interested parties. The results of the validity test revealed an Aiken's V value of 0.81 so it was worthy of being tested at the implementation stage. The implementation resulted in a practicality value of 80.65% from teachers, 79.84 from parents of students, and 78.28% from the management of the boarding school. Overall, both teachers, parents of students, and management stated that this integrated monitoring instrument of tahfidz qur'an was practical during use.

Abstract

Baby incubators are crucial medical devices to maintain environmental stability for babies born prematurely or have health problems. This research aims to develop a prediction system for temperature and humidity variables in baby incubators by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and solar panels as the main energy source. Despite advancements in IoT-based incubator systems, existing solutions often rely on reactive approaches, making them less effective in preventing harmful environmental fluctuations. Addressing this gap, this study focuses on optimizing temperature and humidity predictions using artificial intelligence (AI) for proactive control. Using a DHT22 sensor to measure temperature and humidity, as well as a 1 Wp solar panel, the system is designed to operate autonomously in areas with limited access to electricity. The methods used include data collection, data processing to calculate correlation coefficients, and selection of linear regression models for the analysis of relationships between variables. The results showed that the linear regression model applied had a good temperature and humidity prediction with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) value of 0.45 for the training data and 7.32 for the test data.

Abstract

Stunting is a growth and development disorder in children caused by chronic malnutrition and repeated infections. Stunting has significant short- and long-term impacts and is one of the major health issues currently faced by Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting in North Sumatra Province is 18.9%, and the provincial government aims to reduce this prevalence to 14% by 2024. This study aims to compare the performance of several supervised machine learning methods in predicting stunting prevalence in North Sumatra Province. The data used is secondary data from 2021 to 2023, covering 33 districts/cities in the province. This study evaluates three machine learning models: Support Vector Regression (SVR), Decision Tree, and Random Forest, using evaluation metrics such as Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The analysis results show that Random Forest provides the most accurate and consistent predictions, with lower MSE, MAE, RMSE, and MAPE values compared to the other models in most areas. Decision Tree yields good results in some regions but tends to produce higher errors in certain cases. SVR exhibits a more varied performance, with some regions showing higher prediction errors. Overall, Random Forest is the superior model for predicting district/city-level data, although model selection should be tailored to the data characteristics and application needs

Abstract

The development of technology for control systems is increasing, especially to help people with disabilities and facilitate the performance of health workers. Where it is required to maintain the level of sterilization of equipment in hospitals. Eye tracking technology in the last few decades has developed very rapidly. This control system using eye tracking technology can be done with eye movements for those who experience mobility problems. This research aims to develop a light control system through eye activity using the Mediapipe framework from Google. In this study, 2 lamps (A and B) were used, each with a light intensity of 10W. In lamp A, the light intensity can be controlled by turning the light on or off using the blink of the right eye and the blink of the left eye, while lamp B can adjust the intensity of the light by opening both eyes (right and left). Research on a lighting control system using the eye tracking method with an image processing system has been successfully carried out. All data generated is based on activity, distance, eye position on the camera and differences in participant backgrounds. Apart from that, a system that can work well means consistent results are obtained. However, based on distance, the system can read with precision at distances of 50 cm and 60 cm.

Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) technology integrates virtual content into real environments using two main methods: marker-based and markerless tracking. Marker-based tracking relies on printed markers for object placement, while markerless uses environmental features for flexibility and accuracy. This research aims to evaluate the combined impact of environmental factors-distance, angle, and lighting-on these two methods. The Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) methodology was applied by testing 72 combinations of indicators: distance (5-120 cm), angle (30°, 45°, 90°), and light color (red, blue, green, yellow) using Xiaomi Note 8 and Google Pixel 4. Results show markerless tracking is superior in all conditions, achieving a 94.4% success rate on both devices. In contrast, marker-based tracking only achieved 72.2% (Xiaomi Note 8) and 77.8% (Google Pixel 4). Markerless tracking was optimally performed from 50 cm away and up close, while marker-based tracking degraded in performance at long distances and red lighting. Markerless tracking proved to be more reliable and consistent, suitable for dynamic and diverse environments, while marker-based methods remained relevant for short distances and controlled lighting. These findings provide guidance for AR developers in choosing a tracking methodology according to application needs.

Abstract

Grapes are one of the most extensively cultivated crops worldwide due to their significant economic importance. However, the productivity of grape crops is often threatened by diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Traditionally, the detection of infected grape leaves has been conducted through manual visual inspections, a method that is both time-consuming and prone to biases. Recent studies have leveraged transfer learning models to classify grape leaf diseases with high accuracy. Despite this progress, there is a notable gap in research exploring the integration of transfer learning for feature extraction and machine learning for feature classification in detecting grape leaf diseases. This study introduces a novel approach that combines transfer learning using EfficientNetB0 for feature extraction with a machine learning model, specifically Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), for feature classification. The proposed model demonstrates outstanding performance, achieving an accuracy of 99.56% on the test dataset, surpassing traditional transfer learning methods reported in previous studies.

Abstract

Rice cultivation is a major agricultural activity that is heavily influenced by weather conditions. Extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, can cause farmers' productivity to decline. Rainfall forecasts are important for farmers to help them make the right decisions in managing their farming businesses. This research aims to predict rainfall in Lamongan Regency, East Java province, and provide valuable information to rice farmers to plan the optimal planting season. The method used in this study is Triple Exponential Smoothing (TES), an effective forecasting technique for processing time series data with seasonal patterns. Monthly rainfall data for the last five years formed the basis of the forecast, with data sourced from NASA's Power Data Access Viewer. The analysis results include a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) value of 97.559% for rainfall. This rainfall forecast can assist farmers in increasing rice productivity and minimizing the risk of crop failure due to unpredictable weather conditions. With the rainfall weather forecast, farmers are expected to know the suitable months for rice cultivation so that productivity increases
