<![CDATA[The rapid increase in lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity and hypertension highlight the urgent need for accessible and personalized digital health solutions. This study proposes and evaluates an interactive web-based expert system designed to deliver personalized diet and exercise recommendations using a forward chaining inference mechanism. The system analyzes individual user characteristics, including age, body mass index (BMI), health goals, dietary preferences, and physical activity levels, collected through a structured questionnaire. A knowledge base composed of expert-defined rules is employed to infer suitable diet plans (Mediterranean, low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and DASH diets) and exercise programs (cardio and strength training). The platform was developed using the Laravel framework and MySQL database, with a responsive user interface designed through Figma. System evaluation was conducted using black box testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS), which yielded a score of 78.38. The results demonstrate stable system functionality, fast response times, and high usability, indicating that the proposed system is effective in supporting personalized digital health recommendations. This research contributes to the field of health informatics by demonstrating the applicability of rule-based expert systems for personalized diet and exercise guidance.]]>

<![CDATA[The Yusrotus Syafa’ah Al Yusfa Foundation is a religious educational institution focusing on Qur’anic and tahfidz learning. Despite its active educational programs, the foundation experiences limited public exposure due to the absence of professionally designed visual communication media. This study aims to design, develop, and evaluate the effectiveness of a profile video as a strategic visual communication tool to increase public awareness and strengthen the institutional image. This research employs a Design and Development (D&D) approach, consisting of needs analysis, narrative and visual design, audiovisual production, and user-based evaluation. The product is a 4-minute-46-second profile video emphasizing emotional storytelling, cinematic visuals, and authentic documentation of institutional activities. The effectiveness of the video was evaluated through a post-test questionnaire administered to 17 respondents using a five-point Likert scale. The results indicate a satisfaction level of 92.2% (Very Satisfied category) and show that 88.9% of respondents gained new knowledge about the foundation after watching the video. These findings demonstrate that the developed profile video is highly effective in improving public awareness, enhancing message clarity, and strengthening the positive image and credibility of the institution. The study confirms that systematically designed audiovisual media can function not only as promotional tools but also as strategic visual communication instruments for non-profit and religious educational organizations.]]>

<![CDATA[Aquaponics integrates aquaculture and hydroponic cultivation to improve resource efficiency and support food security under constraints of limited land and water. Water quality is a critical determinant of aquaponics productivity; however, many small-scale systems still rely on manual and periodic monitoring, which limits timely intervention. This study proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)–enabled, web-based aquaponics monitoring and control system for catfish (Clarias gariepinus) cultivation integrated with water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica). The system acquires water quality parameters including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia using multiple sensors connected to an Arduino Mega. Sensor data are transmitted in real time via an ESP communication module using the MQTT protocol through the HiveMQ broker and stored in a MongoDB database for real-time visualization and historical analysis. In addition, pump actuator control is implemented using fuzzy logic based on water temperature and ammonia concentration to regulate water circulation and provide an interpretable qualitative assessment of water quality. Experimental validation confirms reliable sensing, transmission, storage, and web-based monitoring in an aquaponics pond scenario. The end-to-end transmission delay from the microcontroller to the web application achieves an average of 0.369 s (369 ms), indicating near real-time performance suitable for continuous monitoring and control.]]>

<![CDATA[Based on the identified problems, the availability of tourism information remains suboptimal due to the rapid development of coastal tourist attractions and the increasing number of visitors. In addition, the information provided by the government through social media and official websites does not yet comprehensively present detailed and integrated information related to coastal tourism. Therefore, this study proposes the development of a system to assist visitors in selecting coastal tourist destinations according to their preferences. The system is implemented through web-based mapping of the coastal tourism industry in Jepara Regency using the Waterfall method. The proposed web-based coastal tourism industry information system provides comprehensive information on coastal tourist destinations and the related tourism industries, including visitor statistics, beach locations, entrance fees, accommodations, dining and leisure facilities, tourist attractions, as well as local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and their products located within the coastal areas. This system is expected to deliver accurate and complete information to potential tourists planning to visit coastal destinations in Jepara Regency.]]>

<![CDATA[Third-party smart home platforms raise significant security and privacy concerns due to their centralized hosting models. This study develops a decentralized, easily deployable smart home platform using the FIWARE IoT framework that enables users to host systems on private servers. The platform integrates FIWARE Generic Enablers (Orion, Keyrock, Wilma, IoT Agent) with custom web, mobile, and desktop applications, containerized using Docker Compose. Hardware nodes (NodeMCU ESP8266 with DHT11 sensors and relay modules) operate without a central gateway. The system successfully achieved full CRUD functionality across client applications, with automated Arduino sketch compilation and upload. However, performance testing revealed critical latency anomalies, with the Orion Context Broker exhibiting rare but severe response delays up to 10 seconds. While the platform successfully addresses privacy concerns and simplifies deployment, FIWARE's resource consumption and occasional latency spikes present optimization challenges requiring future work.]]>

<![CDATA[Information technology in education has rapidly evolved, particularly in supporting distance learning systems. However, conventional e-learning platforms often lack practical components, limiting students’ ability to develop hands-on skills. This study addresses the need for an interactive learning environment by developing a virtual laboratory focused on PHP programming. The proposed system enables students to perform practical exercises in a web-based environment, simulating real laboratory activities. The virtual lab is integrated with the existing Learning Management System through web services, specifically ETHOL (Enterprise Technology Hybrid Online Learning) at EEPIS. The implementation of this system provides flexibility for students to access learning materials and conduct experiments anytime and anywhere. The results indicate that the virtual lab enhances students’ understanding of programming concepts and supports independent learning. Load testing demonstrated that the system handles 4,638 requests within 3 minutes with an average response time of 26 ms and a throughput of 27 requests per second on minimal cloud hardware (1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU). Responsiveness testing confirmed that the website functions properly on 100% of tested devices (2 desktop and 1 mobile resolutions). Therefore, the developed virtual lab can serve as an effective complementary tool in e-learning environments.]]>

<![CDATA[The development of technology today is very fast and sophisticated. One example of technological developments is the smart home. A smart home is a house or building equipped with high technology that allows various systems and devices in the home to communicate with one another. This technology is very helpful for parents and people with disabilities in activities at home. One way of controlling smart homes currently being developed is voice control. However, some smart home devices do not yet have control features using voice commands in Indonesian. This study aims to create and test a smart home device that can be controlled by voice commands using the Google Speech-to-Text Application Programming Interface (API) as a medium for capturing and converting voice commands from users into text. The results of the conversion are processed using the Cosine Similarity method to determine what commands are given and which devices the user wants to control. This process is carried out on a Single Board Computer (SBC), specifically the Raspberry Pi. The system achieves up to 100% accuracy in quiet conditions with an average response time of 1001.4 ms. However, this accuracy drops to approximately 80% in noisy environments above 65dB, indicating limitations of the Google Speech API under high noise conditions.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a surrogate‑assisted multi‑objective optimization approach for a 2.4 GHz Yagi–Uda antenna using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and Multi‑Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). The antenna performance is evaluated in terms of maximum gain and minimum Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). Three key physical parameters—inter‑element spacing (gap), director length, and element diameter—are parametrically swept using CST Microwave Studio to generate training data. GPR models are employed as surrogate fitness estimators to approximate the nonlinear relationship between antenna geometry and performance metrics. These surrogate models are integrated into the MOPSO framework to efficiently explore the design space and obtain Pareto‑optimal solutions. The results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively identifying optimal pareto front trade‑offs between gain and VSWR, validating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.]]>
