Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has increased the importance of personal data protection and information security in building consumer confidence. This study analyzes the effects of Privacy Protection Mechanisms and Information Security Policies on User Trust in e-commerce platforms in Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed using a cross-sectional survey involving 150 respondents who had experience using e-commerce platforms. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 3. The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity. The structural model showed that Privacy Protection Mechanisms had a positive and significant effect on User Trust, while Information Security Policies also had a positive and significant effect on User Trust. The model explained 61.7% of the variance in User Trust, with an R² value of 0.617 and a Q² value of 0.428, indicating satisfactory explanatory and predictive relevance. Information Security Policies emerged as the strongest predictor of User Trust. These findings confirm that both privacy governance and information security management are essential for strengthening consumer confidence in e-commerce platforms. E-commerce providers should therefore improve privacy transparency, user control, authentication, transaction security, fraud prevention, and incident response mechanisms to support sustainable digital trust.

Abstract

Blockchain consensus mechanisms are critical for ensuring security, efficiency, and scalability in decentralized networks. This study qualitatively examines ten widely used consensus algorithms—Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated PoS (DPoS), PBFT, Raft, Proof of Authority (PoA), Hybrid PoW/PoS, DAG/IOTA, Hashgraph, and Tendermint—within the research context of Bintan, Riau Islands, Indonesia. Performance was evaluated through literature review and simulated network observations, focusing on transaction throughput (TPS), latency, energy consumption, and network stability. Results indicate that DAG/IOTA and Hashgraph achieve the highest throughput with minimal latency, making them suitable for IoT and enterprise-scale applications. PoS and PoA offer energy-efficient alternatives, while PoW provides high security at the cost of high energy usage. Hybrid PoW/PoS demonstrates balanced performance across multiple metrics. Qualitative analysis highlights trade-offs among energy efficiency, throughput, latency, and decentralization. These findings provide practical guidance for selecting consensus mechanisms according to network requirements, operational constraints, and sustainability considerations, contributing a consolidated perspective on blockchain efficiency and scalability.

This study examines the technological and organizational readiness of higher education institutions in Indonesia for the implementation of a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS). A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 155 respondents consisting of lecturers, academic and administrative staff, information technology personnel, and academic managers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The analysis included descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that technological readiness was categorized as high, with a mean score of 4.03, while organizational readiness recorded a mean score of 3.91. Overall cloud-based LMS implementation readiness also reached a high level, with a mean score of 3.98. Technological readiness had a positive and significant effect on LMS implementation readiness, while organizational readiness demonstrated a stronger significant effect. Together, both dimensions explained 61.5% of the variance in implementation readiness (R² = 0.615). These findings indicate that successful cloud-based LMS implementation requires not only adequate technological infrastructure but also strong managerial commitment, institutional policies, human resources, training, financial support, and inter-unit coordination.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created increasing dependence on large-scale datasets, while simultaneously generating significant legal challenges related to privacy protection, data governance, and individual rights. This study examines whether synthetic data and privacy protection mechanisms can become the future foundation of responsible AI development through a normative legal analysis approach. The research analyzes relevant legal frameworks, regulatory principles, and conceptual developments concerning personal data protection, AI governance, and the utilization of synthetic data as a privacy-preserving alternative. The findings indicate that synthetic data provides substantial potential to reduce privacy risks by minimizing direct exposure to identifiable personal information while improving data accessibility for AI training and innovation. However, synthetic data does not automatically eliminate legal concerns, particularly regarding re-identification risks, accountability allocation, transparency, and regulatory uncertainty. The analysis demonstrates that effective AI governance requires a shift from traditional data protection approaches toward adaptive frameworks based on risk assessment, privacy-by-design principles, and responsible technology development. The study argues that synthetic data should not be viewed as a complete replacement for real-world data but as a complementary mechanism within a broader privacy-preserving AI ecosystem. Therefore, the future of artificial intelligence development depends on the integration of technological innovation and legally enforceable privacy protection frameworks that ensure transparency, accountability, and respect for fundamental rights.

Abstract

Evaluation of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) typically relies on several questionnaire instruments that are administered and scored separately, making score aggregation and cross-method triangulation labor-intensive. UIX-Probe is a web-based multi-method UI/UX assessment platform that already integrated the System Usability Scale (SUS), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), A/B testing and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), but lacked instruments for two constructs central to user experience: subjective mental workload and perceived visual aesthetics. This paper reports the design, implementation and workflow of two new modules integrated into UIX-Probe Raw NASA-TLX and the Short Visual Aesthetics of Websites Inventory (VisAWI-S) with a focus on the analytics dashboard that turns raw responses into interpretable output for developers and interface designers. The dashboard provides a composite score with automatic classification, a per-dimension mean comparison, per-question response distributions, a per-respondent results table, respondent demographics, and automatically generated narrative descriptions, all exportable to Excel. The system was built using the Waterfall SDLC on a Laravel 10 + React.js (Inertia.js) architecture. Functionality was verified under real-world deployment: five independent developer teams created and distributed their own evaluation surveys on the platform, collecting 115 responses across five surveys. The four surveys using the new modules produced Raw NASA-TLX composite scores of 10.99–21.75/100 (all Moderate) and VisAWI-S composite scores of 4.23–5.81/7 (Positive to Very Positive). All three verification criteria were met: 5/5 teams configured a survey successfully, every survey obtained real respondents, and every dashboard rendered without error.
