Cisadane Warrior’s Character Design: Re-Analyzing the Physical Cues of the Crocodile Demon Queen as a Villain
Character design encompasses the process of creating visually captivating and unforgettable characters for different media platforms. Derived from the user test results of the author's previous project, designing a 360-degree 3D illustration in building an immersive virtual atmosphere of the Cisadane Warrior folktale, this research aims to reexamine the former character design of the Crocodile Demon Queen of the Cisadane Warrior folktale, transforming it into a more refined antagonist. Utilizing a brief design process, it only focuses on reassessing the visual attributes of the characters by using a literature review, a reference, and an existing study, as well as observation methods. The visual attributes include anatomy and facial features of a villain, as well as its culture identity representations. The insights gained from this study help synthesize a proper design brief and execute the character design with improvement and necessary adjustments, so that the character is visually engaging, remains cohesive, and suits better with the intended audience

Fenomena Chatbot AI Sebagai Teman Curhat: Implikasi Pada Hubungan Antarpribadi di Era Digital
The phenomenon of using AI chatbots as confidants has been on the rise alongside advancements in communication technology. This research examines the increasing popularity of AI chatbots as companions for sharing personal thoughts in the digital era. By referencing the Beyond Human Communication theory, that highlights the connection between people and technology in modern communication, we used a qualitative approach and a systematic literature review to explore how chatting with these bots affects personal relationships and how we perceive communication quality. Results reveal that AI chatbots, by Natural Language Processing (NLP) abilities, can create a communication experience that feels quite like talking with another person. Chatbot AI offer emotional support that readily available. However, relying too much on chatbots can hinder a person’s ability to engage in deeper, more meaningful conversations with other humans. While these bots can provide quick and accurate responses, they lack the depth and significance that come with human interactions. This research highlights the need to strike a balance between using technology and maintaining genuine human connections to keep our social relationships strong
PERANCANGAN BUSANA GENDERLESS FASHION BERDASARKAN ANALISIS PREFERENSI DAN PERSEPSI GENDER PADA DEWASA AWAL
The continuous development of technology and information flow has brought about significant shifts in the dynamics of life, including changes in culture, values, and social norms in today's era. This transformation also impacts the fashion industry, which is an integral part of society's appearance and lifestyle. The phenomenon of genderless fashion trends exemplifies a significant change in the contemporary fashion landscape. Genderless fashion expands perspectives on gender and creates space for individual expression without rigid gender boundaries. However, in Indonesia, this trend faces challenges in acceptance by a society that predominantly adheres to patrilineal cultural values. Through a qualitative phenomenological research approach, this study aims to design and generate recommendations for genderless fashion clothing forms that are responsive and relevant based on the analysis of preferences and gender perceptions among young adults in Indonesia. Additionally, this research aims to identify and evaluate factors influencing the acceptance of genderless fashion clothing among young adults in Indonesia, particularly concerning the essence and role of genderless fashion trends. By considering issues such as ethics, sustainability, and inclusion, this research is expected to provide insights into the industry regarding the relevance and urgency of these issues amid current social developments and fashion trends. Thus, this research is expected not only to contribute to the academic domain but also to serve as a bridge for educating and fostering open dialogue among the wider society and unraveling its current complexities. The findings of this research will provide significant benefits to researchers, academics, designers, the fashion industry, and society as a whole. It is hoped that this research will serve as a valuable guide in designing more inclusive and relevant genderless fashion clothing aligned with current social values and fashion trends, thereby enhancing understanding and acceptance of the genderless fashion concept in Indonesia

Human-wildlife conflict in Chiredzi Gonarezhou National Park: Conflict to coexistence
The successful conservation of wildlife and the well-being of communities living adjacent to protected areas largely depends on the extent to which the communities and wildlife themselves can coexist. Where coexistence fails, human-wildlife conflicts (HWC) arise. Almost every country in the world faces some form of HWC, and highly biodiversity, developing countries like Zimbabwe particularly struggle with this issue. The purpose of this study was to provide the detailed information on the status, nature and dynamics of HWC, how it is experienced and how communities living in and adjacent to HWC hotspots around Gonarezhou are affected. Knowledge gained from this study will inform the design and implementation of a suite of strategies and interventions in HWC mitigation. This study was conducted in eight wards with HWC hotspots around Gonarezhou in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe in particular Chitsa, Chibwedziva, Twanani, Batanai, Chichingwe, Xibhavahlengwe, Sengwe and Xini. The local communities in these study sites live alongside and share their space with wildlife. A mixed methods approach was used to conduct this study, which involved the use of quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. The quantitative data collection involved the use of structured household questionnaires, and a total of 560 households were interviewed across the study sites. The qualitative data collection techniques involved discussions with 28 focus groups and 12 interviews with key informants across the eight study sites. Results from household surveys showed that attitudes towards wildlife protection are generally positive. The incidences of HWC varied across the study sites with some sites such as Sengwe and Xibhavahlengwe experiencing higher levels of conflict. The study recommends for a holistic solution which addresses both HWC and poverty is critical in protecting biodiversity and improving livelihoods in communities around Gonarezhou National Park
