Abstract

Digital financial inclusion has become a strategic approach to expand access to formal financial services and enhance economic participation. Despite technological progress, women still face unequal access to digital financial resources due to structural, socio-economic, and regulatory barriers. This study analyzes gender inequality in access to digital financial resources within the regulatory framework of digital financial inclusion and assesses how current regulations uphold equality, justice, and non-discrimination. Using a Narrative Literature Review with a normative legal approach, data were drawn from legal documents, international policy instruments, scholarly publications, and reports from organizations such as the World Bank, OECD, UN Women, and the Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion. Findings indicate persistent barriers including digital literacy gaps, limited technology access, financial capability constraints, socio-cultural limitations, and algorithmic bias. Existing regulations focus on formal equality but inadequately address substantive gender inequalities. The study concludes that gender-responsive regulations, inclusive policies, enhanced digital literacy, and stronger oversight of digital financial technologies are crucial for equitable digital financial inclusion for women

Abstract

Chicken eggs are highly nutritious animal-source foods, but their internal quality declines rapidly during room-temperature storage. This study aimed to evaluate instant kepok banana peel extract powder as a natural preservative for maintaining chicken egg quality. Kepok banana peel extract was processed into instant powder using foam-mat drying with egg white as a foaming agent and dextrin as a carrier. The powder was reconstituted in water at different powder-to-water ratios, namely 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, and 1:50. Fresh chicken eggs were immersed in the prepared solutions for 24 hours, stored at room temperature, and evaluated based on Haugh Unit, albumen index, and yolk index during storage. The results showed that storage duration caused a continuous decline in internal egg quality. The average Haugh Unit decreased from 77.56 on day 0 to 65.26 on day 7, 61.04 on day 14, and 35.39 on day 21. The albumen index decreased from 0.13 to 0.02, while the yolk index declined from 0.44 to 0.14 over the same storage period. Differences among treatment ratios were not statistically significant; however, the 1:20 ratio was identified as the most practical formulation because it maintained acceptable egg quality up to 14 days. The 1:10 ratio did not provide better preservation and showed spoilage by day 21. These findings indicate that instant kepok banana peel extract powder can be developed as a low-cost, waste-based natural preservative for extending egg shelf life under room-temperature storage

Abstract

Food security remains a global challenge, especially in agricultural countries such as Indonesia. Although Indonesia has abundant natural resources, it still faces problems in ensuring sustainable food availability, access, and utilization for all communities. Food diversification is an important effort to improve food security. The UP2K Women Farmers Group of Ajaobaki Village has developed purple sweet potato sticks since 2016. However, the group faces problems such as changes in raw material prices and limited market access, causing uncertain farmer income and difficulty improving welfare. Therefore, a creative strategy is needed to combine agricultural-based industry growth with increased food production. This study provides information on sustainable purple sweet potato stick farming management. Data analysis used qualitative descriptive analysis, income analysis, and SWOT analysis. The results showed production costs of IDR 2,038,500, production of 250 pcs, selling price of IDR 10,000, and profit of IDR 461,500

Abstract

Patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery are at risk of thermoregulation disturbances due to anesthesia, cold operating room exposure, and irrigation fluids. Postoperative hypothermia may increase morbidity, delay recovery, and cause patient discomfort. This study analyzed differences in body temperature stability between patients using forced-air warming (FAW) devices and those using standard blankets after arthroscopic surgery in the recovery room. A quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design was used. Forty respondents were selected through purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group receiving FAW and a control group receiving standard blankets, with 20 respondents in each group. Body temperature was observed on arrival in the recovery room and periodically for 20 minutes.  Ethical approval was obtained under No. 045/KEPPKSTIKSC/IV/2025. Results showed that 85% of the intervention group and 35% of the control group maintained stable body temperature. The Chi-Square test showed p = 0.003, indicating a significant difference. FAW is recommended as a routine recovery room intervention

Abstract

Rubber seed dormancy limits uniform germination due to a hard seed coat. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of H₂SO₄ concentration and soaking time on germination performance of Hevea brasiliensis. A factorial Completely Randomized Design was used with three concentrations of H₂SO₄ (1%, 2%, 3%) and three soaking durations (10, 15, 20 minutes). Observed parameters were germination percentage, germination time, and number of normal seedlings. Results showed that both factors and their interaction significantly affected all parameters. The 3% H₂SO₄ combined with 20-minute soaking produced the highest germination and normal seedlings and the fastest germination time. In conclusion, chemical scarification using 3% H₂SO₄ for 20 minutes is the most effective treatment to break dormancy and improve rubber seed germination

Abstract

The continued increase in the number of motorized vehicles each year, at a growth rate of approximately 4.6%, is a strong indication that the public's mobility needs are not being met by adequate public transportation services. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operational plan for the Porong-Pasuruan corridor and to analyze the financial feasibility of implementing it. The BRT service operates from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM (16 hours). The total route length is 33.4 kilometers per hour. The planned operating speed is 30 kilometers per hour, resulting in a travel time of 66.8 minutes. The round-trip travel time is 143.6 minutes. The vehicle headway is 14.65 minutes. The trip frequency is 4.1 vehicles per hour. The cycle time from A to B and back to A is 153.62 minutes. The number of trips per vehicle is 6 trips, and the fleet requirement is 10 vehicles. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) calculation yields a value of 1.10. A BCR value > 1 means that the Porong-Pasuruan corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) implementation project is declared feasible because the total benefits are greater than the costs incurred

Abstract

One of the most common types of steel profiles used in column and beam construction is the H-Beam profile. This profile has the characteristics of high flexural strength and cross-sectional efficiency against axial compressive loads. There are two main types of H-Beams in widespread use: hot-rolled (prefabricated) H-Beams and welded (welded assemblies). The use of H-Beam steel profiles as column elements is increasing due to their good compressive capacity and structural efficiency. H-Beam profiles are generally used in hot-rolled and welded-built-up forms, which have different manufacturing characteristics, structural behavior, and fabrication costs. The analysis was conducted using theoretical calculations based on SNI 1729:2020, nonlinear analysis based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) using SAP2000. The parameters evaluated include nominal compressive capacity (Pn), ultimate numerical capacity (Pu), behavior and stability against global buckling, fabrication costs, and the cost-to-capacity ratio. The results showed that the hot-rolled profile had a nominal control compressive capacity of 162,743 kgf and a numerical control ultimate capacity of 193,015 kgf, higher than the welded built-up profile of 158,710 kgf and 189,465 kgf. The hot-rolled profile also showed better stability with a buckling factor of 1.97455, compared to the welded built-up profile of 1.92217. Based on structural and economic evaluations, the hot-rolled H-Beam profile showed more optimal performance than the welded built-up profile under the conditions of this study

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence in translation raises questions about its ability to maintain meaning, style, and cultural representation in English literature. This study aims to compare human and AI translations in parts of texts that contain metaphors, idioms, narrative styles, and cultural elements. The study used a comparative qualitative approach by involving three human translators, one AI model, and two translation experts as validators. Data was collected through translation documentation and expert review, then analyzed using comparative textual analysis and thematic coding. The results show that human translators more consistently retain figurative nuances, narrative voices, and cultural distinctiveness, while AI tends to produce more explicit and standardized translations. The findings confirm the importance of human interpretation in AI-assisted literary translation
