Abstract

ABSTRACT The use of Value Engineering increases the value and performance of projects, with many benefits for projects and organizations, such as economical, technical, and managerial. This study discusses the application of the Value Engineering method in a 10-storey hotel construction project that aims to identify and reduce unnecessary costs without reducing the quality, function, and aesthetics of the building. The process begins with the collection of project technical data such as Detailed Engineering Design and Cost Budget Plan. Analysis was carried out on several work items, including formwork, ceiling, and façade, using the Breakdown Cost Model, FAST Diagram, and function analysis. Alternative designs are developed through creative stages, analyzed with a Life Cycle Cost approach, and evaluated in terms of advantages and disadvantages. The results show that there is a potential cost savings of IDR 533,884,167.36. The details are as follows: formwork work resulted in savings of IDR 38,713,128.61 (2.14%), ceiling work of IDR 11,518,697.38 (11.3%), and façade work of IDR 483,652,341.37 (9.14%). This research proves that the systematic application of Value Engineering can improve cost efficiency and maintain the overall quality and performance of construction.

Abstract

Irrigation network maintenance plays a strategic role in ensuring efficient and sustainable water distribution to support agricultural productivity. This research aims to analyze the condition of the irrigation network and calculate the Actual Operation and Maintenance Needs (AKNOP) at the Cirongkob Weir in Kuningan Regency, West Java. The research method uses a quantitative and qualitative approach through field observations, water discharge measurements, evaluation of irrigation channels and structures, and calculation of maintenance costs based on the technical guidelines of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR). The analysis results show that the irrigation channels are generally functional, although light to moderate damage was found that affects water distribution efficiency. AKNOP calculations indicate that most of the budget is allocated to rehabilitation and contractual maintenance activities. Efforts to improve irrigation efficiency should focus on optimizing routine maintenance, strengthening farmers’ institutions (P3A), and implementing water discharge monitoring. Through these strategies, the sustainability of the irrigation system and food security in the Cirongkob area can be maintained. The implications of this research provide empirical foundations for evidence-based irrigation management policies, contribute to the development of standardized AKNOP calculation methodologies for similar irrigation systems across Indonesia, and offer practical guidelines for optimizing budget allocation in irrigation infrastructure maintenance.

Abstract

Occupational safety and health (K3 - Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja)) is an important element that should not be ignored in the implementation of construction projects. This is due to the high level of risk in the construction industry, which is influenced by a dynamic work environment full of various activities. This research aims to evaluate the potential occupational safety hazards in construction projects using a specific approach. JSA serves as a systematic method for identifying hazards at each work stage, while Hierarchy of Control provides a structured framework for determining risk mitigation priorities based on control effectiveness levels, starting from elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, to personal protective equipment (PPE). The research methodology uses a quantitative descriptive approach with the help of questionnaire instruments and field data. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, validity and reliability tests, correlation, and regression. The results of the research show that occupational safety risks in projects are relatively high, with several potential main hazards such as falling from height, being hit by materials, and contact with high temperatures. Of the 43 risk variables analyzed, 12 risks (27.91%) were included in the high-risk category and 25 risks (58.14%) were in the moderate-risk category. control is carried out through PPE and engineering control. The implementation of JSA and Hierarchy of Control has proven to be effective in identifying and lowering work risks. The conclusion of this research can be the basis for improving the K3 management system in a more measurable and sustainable direction.

Abstract

This study investigates how the design and implementation of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) curricula can be optimized to meet evolving labor market demands and thereby stimulate sustainable economic growth in Afghanistan. Employing a convergent mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected via a structured questionnaire administered to 312 TVET graduates and 48 industry employers across Kabul, Herat, and Kandahar. Reliability and validity of the instrument were confirmed through Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.87) and expert panel review. Qualitative insights were obtained from 20 semi-structured interviews with curriculum developers, trainers, and policymakers, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Quantitative results demonstrate a statistically significant gap between current curriculum competencies and employer-identified skill requirements (t(359) = 5.42, p < 0.001), particularly in digital literacy (mean difference = 1.26 on a 5-point scale) and soft skills (mean difference = 0.98). Qualitative findings reveal three primary themes: (1) outdated course content, (2) limited industry-academic collaboration, and (3) resource constraints. Based on these findings, we propose a framework for iterative curriculum updates, strengthened partnerships with private-sector stakeholders, and targeted professional development for TVET instructors. Implementing these recommendations is expected to enhance graduate employability by up to 30% and contribute an estimated USD 0.5 billion annually to Afghanistan’s GDP. This study provides evidence-based guidance for policymakers, educators, and international development agencies aiming to align TVET curricula with market realities in post-conflict economies

Abstract

The growing awareness of skin care has led to the rise of many sunscreen brands, especially in tropical countries like Indonesia, making it vital to understand factors affecting consumer purchase intent through digital marketing strategies. This research analyzes the influence of social media marketing on purchase intention, directly and through the mediating roles of brand image and brand trust. Using a quantitative method, an online questionnaire was distributed to 124 active TikTok users who had seen promotions of Unitary sunscreen on the platform. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS–SEM) with SmartPLS4 software. Results show that social media marketing via TikTok significantly strengthens brand image and brand trust in Unitary sunscreen. Creative, consistent, and lifestyle-relevant promotions help form positive perceptions and increase consumer confidence in product quality, driving purchase intent. The findings also reveal that direct calls to purchase are less effective without a strong brand image and brand trust. Therefore, digital promotion success depends on the brand’s ability to build emotional connections with consumers. This research contributes theoretically to digital marketing literature and offers practical implications for skincare industry players aiming to design more effective and targeted promotional strategies. It underscores the critical role of social media marketing in shaping consumer behavior through brand image and brand trust, especially in competitive markets like sunscreen products.

Abstract

Biometrics plays a crucial role in mitigating threats such as theft, duplication, and cracking by offering more secure verification methods. To enhance system reliability, researchers are increasingly focusing on multimodal biometrics that integrate facial recognition and fingerprint identification. The objective is to design a biometric verification system that leverages deep learning to automatically extract and analyze features from fingerprints, videos, and facial images. This system employs image scaling and data augmentation during preprocessing to preserve information and reduce computational time. To strengthen resistance against software attacks and varying poses, dynamic fusion techniques applied to hand-surface features are incorporated. Furthermore, multi-scale single-shot face detectors enable efficient face detection in unconstrained videos, while memory-efficient deep neural networks (DNNs) ensure optimal resource utilization. The study applies advanced approaches such as Transfer Learning and Hyperparameter Optimization algorithms, including Keras Tuner (Random Search), Genetic-CNN, Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO), and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). Findings demonstrate that models integrated with hyperparameter optimization significantly outperform those without optimization. For facial recognition, CNN-GA achieved an impressive classification accuracy of 99.75%, while in fingerprint recognition, Keras Tuner recorded a peak accuracy of 99.09%. These outcomes highlight the effectiveness of combining deep learning with optimization strategies in building robust multimodal biometric systems. By integrating efficient preprocessing, adaptive algorithms, and optimized architectures, the proposed framework not only enhances accuracy but also ensures resilience against diverse attack vectors, positioning multimodal biometrics as a key solution for future secure authentication technologies.

Abstract

The structural planning of multi-story buildings is a crucial aspect of the construction process, as it determines the extent to which a building can withstand loads and function safely throughout its service life. A well-designed structure will be resilient against various types of loads, including static loads such as the self-weight of the structure, as well as dynamic loads such as occupant activities, wind forces, and seismic forces. Therefore, structural planning must be carried out comprehensively and in accordance with applicable standards and regulations to ensure that the building possesses adequate strength, stability, and safety under various loading conditions. This study focuses on the structural planning and analysis of a six-story hotel building located in Subang Regency, West Java. In this research, local soil conditions and several national standards such as SNI 2847:2019, SNI 1727:2020, and SNI 1726:2019 are carefully considered. Structural analysis is carried out using ETABS version 22.6.0 to model and evaluate how the columns, beams, floors, and foundations are able to withstand all types of loads. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for designing similar building structures and to contribute to improving the quality of multi-story building planning in Indonesia.
