Road safety has become an object of research and many research institutes have invested in this field because a lot of people die and many others are injured every year due to road accidents. The deployment of wireless communication technologies for vehicular networks can considerably improve road safety. It can enable new services such as…

The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be a valuable contribution in disaster situations or life-threatening exploration. Using wireless mobile robots, it is possible to explore vast areas without human intervention. However, the wireless network coverage that can keep mobile robots connected to the base station / gateway is a major limitation. With this…

A healthy watershed is important not only for the ecosystem but also for human socioeconomic activities. Therefore, a compatible assessment model is required to recognize watershed health. In Indonesia, the watershed health assessment is directed by the Ministry of Forestry regulation number 60/2014. A critic might be posed to this directive for not including the…

To evaluate and compare methods in computer vision, scientists must use a benchmark dataset and unified sets of measurements. The UCI-EGO dataset is a standard benchmark dataset for evaluating Hand Pose Estimation (HPE) on depth images. To build robotic arms that perform complex operations such as human hands, the poses of the human hand need…

This study aims to discuss the establishment of digital culture in higher education as an effort of higher education to align themselves with the development of science and technology so that that higher education is always at the forefront in the enforcement and provide high-quality education. The method used in this study is a qualitative…

Background: The quality of care of the nursing professional in relation to the hospitalized patient refers to the set of knowledge and attitudes that the nursing professional must provide quality care, preventing risks and improving patient satisfaction, for which its objective is to determine the quality of nursing care in hospitalized patients at the LanFranco la…

Gender detection and age estimation become an active research area and a very important field today, wish has been widely used in various applications including them: biometrics, social network, Targeted advertising, access control, human-computer interaction, electronic customer, etc. The need to further improve the recognition or classification rate keeps increasing day after day. In this…

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) was widely used for treating tumors non-invasively. In this treatment, ultrasound is focused on the target volume inside the human body to ablate cancerous tissues and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is mainly used to grasp the target position and to measure the temperature distributions around the target. However, MRI is…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…

The heath-care sector has confronted significant difficulties in the past few years due to several issues such as insufficient human resources, budget cuts, and shortage of equipment and drugs. The logistics in the health-care sector take an extensive part of the budget, especially since it is the main axis to provide the hospital’s pharmacies with…

The population living in the residential area in two villages, including Pohuwato village and Pohuwato Timur village, are mostly fishermen, who live under the poverty line, meaning that the people there have low income. The objective of the present study was to explore the living condition in terms of the physical, social, and economic aspects…

Computer vision is a technique used for processing images and videos which are increasingly becoming ubiquitous day by day. Technologies developed are revolving around human needs and demands high computational power as volume of data increases. The extraction of the necessary information for processing, that is independent of various scene complexity is a challenging task.…

Recognizing the human behavior and gesture has become important due to the increasing use of wearable devices. This study classifies hand gestures by creating sound in the inaudible frequency range from a smartphone and analyzing the reflected signals. We convert the sound using Short-Time Fourier Transform to magnitude and phase. We trained two types of…

Empathy is an attribute of importance between the nursing professional and the patient, where it influences the recovery of their health. Several studies carried out have shown worrying results where they reflect a great decrease in empathy during the formative academic years. The objective of the study is to determine empathy in nursing interns from…

It is the age of information. Social networks are the main reason why, following the increasing activity of online users. With this comes a big impact on the real world, it can be positive and highly negative as well. Therefore, research in this field is highly needed for the betterment of societal behaviors within social…

Most crossroads use a traffic light to communicate between human-driven vehicles by conveying to the drivers when to stop and when to proceed in an organized fashion. However, the stop and wait nature of traffic lights cause slower mobility, leading to congestion. This paper presents a localization scheme based on two-dimensional (2D) flat geometry adaptation…

This paper presents the results of the research conducted with the help of cognitive cybernetics about the “mass” factor from the theory of totalitarianism. According to the expert system model, “big data” analysis sought to discover knowledge for assessing the future status of digital social connectivity. Originally developed models and methods of cognitive and computer…

Dithering or error diffusion is a technique used to obtain a binary image, suitable for printing, from a grayscale one. At each step, the algorithm computes an allowed value of a pixel from a grayscale one, applying a threshold and, therefore, causing a conversion error. To obtain the optical illusion of a continuous tone, the…

Chatbot is an application that is designed to help humans communicate with machines. NLP and API.AI are some of the components that are crucial in making chatbot as they help chatbot in performing chatting operations. Chatbot could be implemented in many aspects of life such as education, social media platforms, games, even in business. Business…

Facial emotion recognition is one among many popular and challenging tasks in the field of computer vision.
