Habibie still physically records each student's attendance by having them sign a presence sheet for each course. Due to the ease with which fraudulent signatures can be used to manipulate the traditional system, there may be some issues. Additionally, manual presence recapitulation takes more time and could be less precise and effective. This research aims to develop a prototype of Android-based application of student presence system with QR Code technology in the Department of Information System, Institut Teknologi B.J. Habibie. Following the creation of the presence system prototype, ISO 25010 quality standards were used to evaluate the application. The criteria evaluated are functionality, usability, portability, performance efficiency, and security. The application’s functionality was tested by two system experts by using Guttman Scale and it gained 100% yes answer. The usability was tasted from 30 users rating the application usability through a survey using Likert Scale, it achieved the average percentage of positive answers is 91%. The performance efficiency was classified as grade A by GTmetrix testing site. Similarly, the security system tested by sslabs.com achieved grade A. Furthermore, the portability was tested by using 4 different web browsers for the web version and by installing the application on 4 different smartphones and they showed no errors. Based on the overall assessment result, the Android-based Student Presence System is feasible, efficient, suitable and secure.","PeriodicalId":387754,"journal":{"name":"EPI International Journal of Engineering","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133553043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hunto Mosque in Gorontalo City, Hohuntonga, which means a gathering place, is known for its beautiful architectural design which owes much to the role of the ornaments adorning the building. This research aims to describe and interpret the characteristics and meanings of the ornaments in the Hunto Sultan Amai Mosque, as well as identify the factors that shape their characteristics. A qualitative method with Roland Barthes' (1986) semiotic approach was employed, and data was gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results reveal that the ornamentation in the mosque consists of geometric and floral shapes, with square patterns and lotus flower motifs, colored in white and gold and made of paint. The most prominent placement of these ornaments is on the mosque wall elements. The square shape has meaning “symbol of physical experience and the physical world of materiality”, while the lotus flower represents adaptation and idealism. White signifies purity, while gold symbolizes triumph and power. The characteristics and meanings of the ornaments are formed from Arab and Malay architecture.","PeriodicalId":387754,"journal":{"name":"EPI International Journal of Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128109453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the current study is to analyze the perceived thermal comfort of students during classroom activities with three different air conditioning (AC) settings (16, 22, and 27 oC) in theUniversitas Ichsan Gorontalo campus building. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method, comprising thermal measurements inside the classroom and questionnaire distribution to students to collect thermal sensation data. The research object was conducted in three separate classrooms during the time range of 08.00-15.00 Central Indonesia time. The results revealed that most students felt neutral and comfortable in the three different AC settings inside the classroom. Nevertheless, it should be noted that thermal comfort could be influenced by other factors, such as physical activity and clothing.

Snapper contains high protein. Therefore, it is suitable for health. Red snapper or Lutjanus campechanus is one economical fish with a broad market share. Red snapper is a demersal fish group that ranks third with the most exported commodities after tuna and shrimp. In addition, snapper is one of the most common consumption fish in Indonesia. Therefore, the community needs to be able to identify the freshness of the fish. Fish freshness detection is done manually by touching the fish's body, eyes, and gills. However, this can cause accidental damage to the fish parts, which will be very detrimental. Several studies on identifying fish freshness explain that the VGGNet-16 Architecture on the Convolutional Neural Network algorithm is superior in its modeling performance. This research uses a different fish object, a red snapper object, with two different architectures from several previous studies, namely the Le-Net15 and VGGNet-16 architecture. This research focuses on the eye image carried out through the pre-processing data stage by cutting the fish body, followed by augmentation to reproduce the image data without losing its essence before training the dataset. The model will be trained using the Adam optimization method with very fresh and not fresh predictions. The experimental results of the classification of two classes of red snapper freshness using 600 fish images show that VGGNet-16 achieves the best performance compared to the LeNet-5 architecture, where the classification accuracy reaches 98.40%.","PeriodicalId":387754,"journal":{"name":"EPI International Journal of Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121164141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The track system is still commonly used on various vehicles, including bulldozers, excavators, tanks, and tractors, and has recently been used in lunar expedition vehicles. A tracked vehicle is mainly designed to provide better mobility in rough, uneven, or slippery terrain. The main component of the track system is track shoes or so-called grousers. This track shoe geometry will determine the tractive performance of the vehicle. If an incorrect shape is used, the excavator will most likely slip. The previous study approached this traction problem by using the semi-empirical method. However, until now, the track geometry and traction relation are still unclear. This research focuses on the effects of track shoe geometry on tractive performance and vehicle climbing ability. The analysis was mainly conducted with a DEM (Discrete Element Method) simulation. The result from the experimental test is also confirmed using a small-scale RC prototype on simulated terrain with different slope variations. It is proven that the grouser height directly affects the climbing performance of tracked vehicles. A higher grouser height proves to be better at a higher inclination slope. However, for a low inclination angle, the flattened track was better. The traction result from the EDEM simulation also yields a similar result. However, higher usable traction means more friction is generated; therefore, the track with higher traction also takes more energy to cover the same distance.","PeriodicalId":387754,"journal":{"name":"EPI International Journal of Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117222576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
