    DOI: –

    Abstract:

    Blended learning model is a popular learning model and is trusted by many educational institutions in the world as a more effective model. However, it has several challenges and weaknesses, namely the lack of monitoring and assessment of learning activities during online sessions or asynchronous sessions. This study aims to build an autonomous monitoring system using facial expression recognition and gamification methods to support the learning process with a blended learning model. The result of this research is a design and implementation of an autonomous monitoring system that displays real-time monitoring reports with the concept of gamification. Real-time reports can be used by teachers as one of the assessment points for students. In addition, the applied gamification concept has motivated students to take the distance learning process seriously and quickly because they are competing to get points. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Authors: Tine Agustin Wulandari, Elsya Amanda Yulianto

    DOI: 10.1063/5.0255657

    Abstract

    Hoax, another opponent that also appeared during the pandemic. Not only as a “Black Swan” that has negative impact on human life, this pandemic has also forced countries around the world to provide quality public service innovations, and Indonesia is no exception. This research was conducted to examine Utilization of mobile application as a communication strategy from the government in providing information services related to Covid- 19 to the public. Because public must get information about Covid-19 that comes from the right and trusted sources. Descriptive study was chosen as the appropriate research methodology, to examine PIKOBAR (Pusat Informasi dan Koordinasi Covid-19 Jawa Barat), mobile application used by the West Java Provincial Government. The results of this research indicated that PIKOBAR provides the update of the number of exposed cases and deaths due to Covid-19, the list of important numbers or emergency calls within the scope of West Java Province, the map of the spread of Covid-19in 27 Regencies/Cities in West Java Province, videos and infographics that are easy to understand. This mobile application is considered capable in responding to the challenges of the need for correct, precise, and reliable information, fulfilling the demands of innovation in improving the quality of public information services. But it has not been fully achieved because there are still Bandung City residents who have not used this mobile application. This research is expected to have implications for government both regional and national to always try to provide public service innovations. © 2025 Author(s).

    DOI: 10.17509/ajse.v6i1.89992

    Abstract

    This study explores how to improve the productivity of hydroponic leafy vegetables by balancing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and nutrient solution pH. Using bok choy in a floating raft system, the research applies a controlled experimental design to observe how these parameters interact in supporting vegetative growth and yield. Daily monitoring and careful adjustment of nutrient levels and pH are emphasized to ensure optimal nutrient uptake. Balanced TDS and pH conditions enhanced leaf formation and biomass accumulation, while imbalances caused nutrient stress and growth inhibition. This study offers practical guidance for growers to synchronize TDS and pH in real-time for improved nutrient management. The findings contribute to precision hydroponics aligned with sustainable agriculture, specifically supporting sustainable development goals (SDGs) for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) through efficient food production and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by encouraging optimal use of agricultural inputs. © 2026 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
