    Authors: Irawan Afrianto, Rahmat Mainusar, Sufa Atin

    Abstract

    Optimizing the patient handling process is an important part of a community health service centre. The study aims to develop a patient monitoring system using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) approach based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). The application of the wireless sensor network in this study is used to monitor patients wirelessly and with precision in a nurse’s room. The method used in the development of this system is using the prototype method. The system model is developed in the form of applications and hardware consisting of IoT and wireless mesh network infrastructure. The application that was built has the function of receiving data from IoT devices that are sent via a wireless mesh network. Meanwhile, the developed hardware functions to detect the level of infusion water and the nurse calling device wirelessly. Wireless mesh network infrastructure is used as a data traffic medium that can configure and organize itself (self-configured), to maintain connectivity. The results obtained show that the prototype of the patient monitoring system is functionally running well, can produce fast and accurate information, and produces IoT devices that work efficiently and have reliable network infrastructure, to provide convenience for patients and nurses to obtain optimal health services. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Design and Development of Qurban Service Information System Using Research and Development Method

    Design and Development of Qurban Service Information System Using Research and Development Method

    Authors: Diana Effendi, Rani Puspita Dhaniawaty, Mia Fitriawati, Delviola Cancerina, Aldi Ramadhan

    Abstract

    This research is the development of SIKEMAS (Mosque Financial Flow Information System), which is now referred to as the Qurban Service Information System (SIQUR), conducted at DKM Khairul Amal, Bandung City. There are problems in processing qurban data, at the Khairul Amal mosque DKM, which currently still uses conventional manual methods, which cause many problems starting from the qurban preparation stage, registration of qurban (shohibul qurban) and sacrificial animals, to the distribution of qurban meat. Another problem is the unsynchronized data between the availability of qurban meat and the number of recipients. Because it creates an application or system that has already been developed, this research was carried out utilizing the research and development technique. At the same time, the design of information systems uses object-oriented design tools using the Unified Modelling Language (UML). At the same time, the application is built with Java Netbeans 7.0 programming with MySql database. The result of measuring the respondents’ satisfaction index with SIQUR is 98%, which means that users are satisfied with the facilities in SIQUR. © 2024 Taylor’s University. All rights reserved.

  • Design and Implementation of Android-Based Diet and Jogging Recommendation Application to Overcome Obesity

    Design and Implementation of Android-Based Diet and Jogging Recommendation Application to Overcome Obesity

    Authors: Hidayat H, Muhammad Salman Al-Farisi

    Abstract

    Obesity has become a significant global health issue, affecting populations in both developed and developing countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported a substantial rise in obesity rates since 1990, with 43% of individuals classified as overweight in 2022. This study aimed to design and implement an Android-based diet and jogging recommendation application targeting adults. Following the Waterfall model, the research adhered to a structured, sequential process that included requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance phases. The application calculates Body Mass Index (BMI) based on user input, such as weight, height, age, and gender, categorizing individuals into seven classifications: Underweight, Normal weight, Pre-obesity, Obesity class I, II, and III. Personalized diet and exercise recommendations are then provided to help users achieve and sustain a healthy weight. The app integrates the Google Maps API to track jogging routes and the Low Carb Recipes API to offer calorie-based meal suggestions. Additionally, the Jogging Tracking feature allows users to monitor their jogging history. The results demonstrate that the application effectively delivers customized dietary and physical activity recommendations, aiding users in managing their caloric intake and maintaining consistent exercise routines. The system proves to be both functional and practical, offering a valuable tool in the fight against obesity, particularly in Indonesia. This research contributes to addressing the global obesity crisis by providing an accessible, technology-driven solution. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Utilization of Ferrocement and Zinc Plate as Floor Plate Formwork of Multi-Storey Houses

    Utilization of Ferrocement and Zinc Plate as Floor Plate Formwork of Multi-Storey Houses

    Authors: Y. Djoko Setiyarto, Vanya Jasmine Shaf

    Abstract

    Ferrocement is a thin-walled concrete that is less commonly used than reinforced concrete. On the other hand, zinc plate is a type of metal frequently utilized as roofing material and for rain gutters. This study aimed to evaluate the tensile strength of zinc and the flexural strength of ferrocement to ensure their safe load-bearing capacity for multi-storey building floors. The study was conducted experimentally by testing the strength of formwork plates made from ferrocement, with a base plate comprising a layer of zinc. The ferrocement used in the experiment contained two layers of wire mesh and mortar with a cement-to-sand ratio of 1:3. The experimental results yielded a formwork flexural strength value of 0.403 kNm, mortar compressive strength of 22.3 MPa and zinc yield stress of 194.6 MPa. Based on construction trial activities in multi-storey houses, zinc-coated ferrocement plates are deemed safe for application as permanent formwork for floor slabs. © 2025 Taylor’s University.

    Abstract

    This study outlined the development process of augmented reality (AR) media for teaching geometry, grounded in prior mathematical knowledge. We used the design thinking method, consisting of empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing. The study showed that AR media developed for geometry based on prior mathematical knowledge was highly valid for being used by media and content expert validators. This is because AR media is designed according to students’ prior mathematical knowledge, categorized into high, medium, and low levels, making geometry learning more effective. The impact extends to various fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), introducing a new, more engaging, and enjoyable way of delivering educational content. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Authors: Deri Wan Minto, Dadang S. Anshori, Vismaia S. Damaianti, Andoyono Sasromiharjo, Yeti Mulyati, Ananda Putriani, Angga Setiyadi

    Abstract

    This research designed and developed a reflective e-module loaded with speaking strategies for legal argumentation material. The research carried out design-based research (DBR), including needs analysis, design planning, design development, and reflection. In the development stage, the e-module was designed by twelve expert validators to evaluate product keys. The development was carried out in the field of observation, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The research results showed the preparation of a reflective model e-module with a narrative strategy in legal argumentation material, which is valid and in the very good category. Excellent results were obtained because e-modules have the advantage of being structured based on effective model syntax and containing speaking strategies. Also, several contents can be accessed to motivate student knowledge, including interactive media in the form of video shows from YouTube to stimulate students’ understanding of how to speak directly in court, and assignment collection which is carried out by uploading directly to the e-module application (not manually). This e-module is also unique in that it encourages students to think analytically and critically. This research implied that e-modules can be used as an alternative since it can make it easier for prospective lawyers to understand legal argumentation material. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Development of Appsheet Tool for Evaluation of Character Values of Digital Da’wah

    Development of Appsheet Tool for Evaluation of Character Values of Digital Da’wah

    Authors: Rika Kartika, Karim Suryadi, Rahmat R, Syaifullah S, Yudistira Soegoto

    Abstract

    This study developed an AppSheet-based application design that could be used to analyse the preaching of character values in the preaching narrative. The research method used was design-based research. The results of this study were in the form of an AppSheet product that had been designed based on the category of character values. This AppSheet was effective because the aspects appeared to preach and teach character values in Islam. The preaching of scholars emphasized noble character values and Islamic teachings. However, the challenge in analysing preaching lies in the difficulty of filtering and identifying the character values conveyed in the preaching narratives, especially in the context of digitalization. The contribution of the AppSheet development lies in optimizing the use of the application to analyse digital-based preaching narratives, thus it could be applied for more effective preaching with a broader impact. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Investigating Students’ Difficulties in Numeracy: A Focus on Linear Functions and the Tools Dimension

    Authors: Sarah Inayah, Dirham D, Sufyani Prabawanto, Al Jupri, Selfa Septiani

    Abstract

    This study investigated students’ difficulties in numeracy, with a particular focus on linear functions and tools dimension. This is case study research gathering relevant qualitative information from 34 ninth-grade students who had already learned about linear function concepts. Based on the analysis of students’ errors in answering the numeracy questions in the dimensions of tools section which can be identified in the linear function topic, students experience difficulties in interpreting mathematical phenomena with various mathematical representations; and students experience difficulty in making translations between mathematical representations. This is because students experience difficulties in managing cognitive demands, shallow understanding of mathematical principles, complexity of concepts, inappropriate learning practices, limited practice opportunities, and lack of familiarity with mathematical tools. The impact of this study is as an initial step in designing teaching materials on linear function material that discusses and anticipates students’ learning difficulties in solving numerical problems based on empirical findings. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
