Feasibility Study of CHEAP: Digital Marketing App for Collaborative Batik MSMEs and Religious Sites
This study investigates the feasibility of the CHEAP ("Cempaluk Heritage App") as a digital marketing model to enhance cultural tourism appeal in Pekalongan Regency. The research addresses the challenge of sub-optimal cultural tourism promotion and untapped collaborative potential by examining the relationships between Perceived Application Quality, Cultural Tourism Appeal, and Visitor Intention to Visit/Purchase. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys and interviews. A total of 46 participants, including potential tourists, batik MSME owners, and religious site managers, were selected using purposive sampling. Findings indicate that the proposed application is highly feasible, with strong positive perceptions of its quality directly enhancing the cultural tourism appeal. This heightened appeal, in turn, significantly increases visitors' intentions to engage with the sites and purchase local products, thereby fostering a sustainable collaborative model and strengthening Pekalongan's position as a cultural tourism destination
Pelatihan Budidaya Tanaman Hidroponik untuk Peningkatan Keterampilan dan Kreativitas Anak Sekolah Alam Aminah
Plant cultivation using the hydroponic system has many advantages with planting techniques without using soil media so that it is suitable for application in limited land. The hydroponic farming system can be introduced to students as a form of environmental learning. One of the educational institutions that implements environmental-based learning is the Aminah Nature School in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. The purpose of the community service activities carried out by the Universitas Sebelas Maret Agricultural Extension Research Group is to provide assistance to students so that their knowledge and skills increase in their ability to apply plant cultivation using the hydroponic method. The method of implementing activities with several stages includes preparation, implementation and evaluation of activities. Preparation is carried out by identifying problems, discussions and coordination as well as preparation for making training materials. Implementation of activities by conducting socialization and training for students about the hydroponic farming system in cultivating pakcoy vegetables. Training is also carried out by inviting students to practice directly in making a simple hydroponic farming system installation by utilizing plastic bottle waste. The activities that have been carried out are then evaluated to assess the extent of the success of the implementation of the activities and can be used as material for improvement for subsequent activities. This mentoring activity is expected to increase students' awareness of environmental management and increase their creativity in processing waste into useful items
High Precision Cascaded Spatio Temporal Deep Inference for Real Time Histamine Risk Prediction in Tropical Artisanal Fisheries
Rapid histamine accumulation in tropical fisheries constitutes a substantial public health hazard, particularly via scombroid poisoning, and underscores the need for rigorous, data-driven cold-chain surveillance. Artisanal vessels (≤ 30 GT), however, predominantly depend on ice-based cooling strategies that are thermally unstable and lack real-time diagnostic functionality, thereby failing to sufficiently suppress microbial growth kinetics under ambient conditions that frequently exceed 30°C. To address this gap, we propose a Cascaded Spatio-Temporal Deep Inference Architecture that couples a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for spatial feature denoising with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for temporal kinetic modeling. This hybrid architecture assimilates high-frequency thermal measurements from an optimized R404A vapor-compression refrigeration system and predicts histamine risk indices under Arrhenius-based kinetic constraints. Field deployment on a 10 GT vessel demonstrated that the system maintained a highly stable storage temperature of -20.1 ± 0.5°C. The proposed model exhibited high predictive accuracy with an R2 of 0.97 and an RMSE of 0.45°C, significantly outperforming a Linear Regression baseline (RMSE = 1.85°C, p < 0.01). Importantly, the system extended the prime-quality shelf life by more than 52 hours while keeping histamine concentrations well below the U.S. FDA limit of 50 mg/kg. Collectively, these findings support a scalable health informatics framework and indicate that AI-driven predictive certification can substantially reduce food safety risks in resource-limited maritime supply chains

Study of Investment Knowledge in Rural Setting: The Effect Financial Literacy and Minimum Capital on Investment Interest
This study examined the influence of investment knowledge, financial literacy, and minimum capital requirement on investment intention among communities in Bawang Regency, Indonesia. Although retail investor participation was increasing nationally, investment engagement at the local level remains limited, particularly in semi-urban areas with limited access to financial information and investment services. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 115 purposively selected respondents through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. A multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS version 26 was conducted to investigate the predictive effects of these three factors on investment intentions. The results indicated that investment knowledge and minimum capital requirements significantly increase investment intentions, whereas financial literacy did not have a statistically significant effect. These findings suggest that domain-specific investment competencies and affordability, rather than general financial skills, were the primary drivers of investment intentions in rural-semi-urban communities. This study extended the Theory of Planned Behavior by highlighting the roles of cognitive ability and perceived feasibility in shaping investment decisions, and it provided practical insights for policymakers and financial institutions to design targeted investment education and accessibility initiatives. Urban or rural demographics were proposed as factors that strengthen or weaken the relationship between investment knowledge and investment intentions. Local government support for local investors was needed to balance the growth of foreign investment in the Batang District, Indonesia
Sustainability Reporting Practice in Technology Companies in ASEAN: a Systematic Literature Review
This study conducts a comprehensive Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine sustainability reporting (SR) practices among technology companies in the ASEAN region. Guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol, the review synthesizes results from 11 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. The research aims to map SR practices, analyze links between SR, governance, innovation, and performance, and identify new challenges and research gaps in sustainability reporting. The findings show that SR implementation in ASEAN remains fragmented and mostly voluntary. Disclosure quality varies across countries. Governance factors such as board independence, gender diversity, and sustainability commitment enhance the credibility and clarity of SR. Strong institutional frameworks in Malaysia and Singapore foster more robust adoption. Digital transformation and sustainability-driven innovation help boost reporting efficiency and transparency for stakeholders. However, institutional and technological barriers limit broader adoption. Compared to Europe and China, ASEAN lacks regulatory harmony, data standards, and digital readiness. This study adds value by consolidating theories, such as Stakeholder Theory, Legitimacy Theory, and the Resource-Based View. It explains how governance and innovation shape the development of SR in emerging digital economies. The review concludes by calling for standardization across ASEAN countries, capacity-building efforts, and more longitudinal empirical studies. These steps can strengthen SR’s strategic impact on sustainability and accountability in ASEAN’s technology sector

Management of Tooth Extraction in Patients with Anticoagulant Therapy: Case Report
Introduction: Consumption of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin is the main therapy in patients with heart valve disease. Prophylactic antibiotics are recommended for patients with heart disease prior to tooth extraction.Objective: To describe the comprehensive dental management of a patient with a history of heart disease and chronic anticoagulant therapy undergoing multiple tooth extractions.Case: A 67-year-old female patient came to UMY Dental Hospital complaining of discomfort when chewing food because of remaining roots in several of her upper right posterior teeth. This started with a tooth that had cavities and was not treated, causing the crown of the tooth to break little by little on its own. The tooth had hurt about 2 months prior, and she had taken painkillers (Paracetamol). Currently, there are no complaints of pain or other accompanying symptoms. The patient has a history of heart disease since childhood and is currently taking anticoagulant medication (Notisil®). Objective examination showed root residue in teeth 15 and 16, percussion (-), palpation (-), and bitetest (-).Outcome: The patient was given prophylactic antibiotics 60 minutes before tooth extraction and discontinued warfarin 5 days prior to the tooth extraction (as advised by a cardiologist). The extraction was performed smoothly and without complications. The open socket was packed with Spongostan® and sutured using a figure-of-eight technique. On the 14th day post-extraction, the wounds were nearly fully covered, indicating that healing was predominantly in the proliferative phase.Conclusion: Tooth extraction in patients undergoing anticoagulant therapy requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving both the management of anticoagulant medication and clinical strategies such as the administration of prophylactic antibiotics and the application of hemostatic agents like Spongostan® following the extraction
