ECG Signal Classification Review
The heart is an important part of the human body, functioning to pump blood through the circulatory system. Heartbeats generate a signal called an ECG signal. ECG signals or electrocardiogram signals are basic raw signals to identify and classify heart function based on heart rate. Its main task is to analyze each signal in the heart, whether normal or abnormal. This paper discusses some of the classification methods which most frequently used to classify ECG signals. These methods include pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification methods such as MLP, K-NN, SVM, CNN, and RNN. There were two stages of ECG classification, the feature extraction stage and the classification stage. Before ECG features were extracted, raw ECG signal data first processed in the pre-processing stage because ECG signals were not necessarily free of noise. Noise will cause a decrease in accuracy during the classification process. After features were extracted, ECG signals were then classified with the classification method. Neural Network methods such as CNN and RNN are best to use since they can give better accuracy. For further research, the machine learning method needs to be improved to get high accuracy and high precision in the ECG signals classification
Determining the Citizen Loyalty Factor of COVID-19 Website Using the Trust Model
One of the information technology (IT) utilization by the government is the establishment of an official website for public access, designed to disseminate information about the COVID-19. Gaining public trust in the information dissemination is getting harder due to the amount of information, while the government is striving to provide reliable information. The service quality provided on the official website will affect the public’s trust and desire to use these services. Citizen loyalty is known when people intensively use the government electronic services because they believe in the government and its e-services based on perceived satisfaction and service quality. This research studied the effect of service quality, trust, and user satisfaction on user loyalty when using e-services by the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) government. The study used a trust model developed by Alkraiji and Ameen and applied it to the official COVID-19 website. Data were collected from 100 respondents in the DIY who were in the productive age range. The experiment was carried out using explanatory and inferential techniques with multiple linear regression methods. The results of the study indicate that all model hypotheses are accepted. The relationship between antecedents and citizen loyalty was more influenced by trust in government and e-government. This finding explains why Yogyakarta citizen trust the government and its electronic services and will be loyal to use these services during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other facilities in the future.
Ultra-Wideband Microstrip Bandpass Filter and Its Equivalent Circuit
Microstrip filters can be designed with various methods to obtain good performances, such as defected ground structure, open-ended slot, planar edge coupled, and split ring resonator with groundplane windowing. In this paper, the design of an ultra-wideband microstrip bandpass filter used the defected ground structure (DGS) method by adding a circular slot to the groundplane. The addition of the circular slot was carried out to improve the value of S parameter (return loss and insertion loss) from the initial filter design without a circular slot. In the simulation process, optimization was carried out by changing the value of filter component parameters such as patch length and thickness and circular slot width. The simulation results showed that the microstrip bandpass filter could pass frequencies in the range of 1.4 GHz to 5.7 GHz with the bandwidth response of 4.3 GHz. In addition, filter analysis could also be done with an equivalent circuit represented by lumped element components in the form of capacitors and inductors connected in series or parallel. The simulation results of the equivalent circuit had a wider bandwidth, which was able to pass frequencies in the range of 1.2 GHz to 6.1 GHz with a bandwidth response of 4.9 GHz
Load Flow Allocation to Improve the Fairness of MW-Mile Method
In a deregulated power system, an appropriate wheeling cost is required to provide valuable economic information to market participants, such as generation and transmission companies. The load flow method is used in power wheeling to determine the condition of the existing system after the wheeling participant is added to the system. In the load flow method, it can be seen how much power is generated from a generator. However, the power flow method cannot determine wheeling generator allocation to the power flow in each transmission network. For this reason, power tracing will be used to determine the wheeling generator allocation. Power tracing is also a solution that could improve the fairness of determining wheeling costs. This paper discusses the power tracing method to determine load flow allocation for wheeling generators using the genetic algorithm (GA) method. GA is one of the optimization techniques, where in power tracing with GA, the load flow allocations (LFA) problem will be assumed as an optimization problem. Calculation with tracing and without tracing will be compared to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed technique. Experimental results showed that the MW-mile method with LFA yielded more expensive wheeling costs than the conventional method. The cost is more expensive due to the absence of cost reduction as in the conventional MW-mile method, and wheeling users pay wheeling costs based on the transmission usage. Although wheeling costs are high, the LFA method provides a fair price because wheeling users pay a fee based on the actual usage. In the future, another power tracing may be used to help determine wheeling costs
Eye Blink Classification for Assisting Disability to Communicate Using Bagging and Boosting
Disability is a physical or mental impairment. People with disability have more barriers to do certain activity than those without disability. Moreover, several conditions make them having difficulty to communicate with other people. Currently, researchers have helped people with disabilities by developing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, which uses artifact on electroencephalograph (EEG) as a communication tool using blinks. Research on eye blinks has only focused on the threshold and peak amplitude, while the difference in how many blinks can be detected using peak amplitude has not been the focus yet. This study used primary data taken using a Muse headband on 15 subjects. This data was used as a dataset classified using bagging (random forest) and boosting (XGBoost) methods with python; 80% of the data was allocated for learning and 20% was for testing. The classified data was divided into ten times of testing, which were then averaged. The number of eye blinks’ classification results showed that the accuracy value using random forest was 77.55%, and the accuracy result with the XGBoost method was 90.39%. The result suggests that the experimental model is successful and can be used as a reference for making applications that help people to communicate by differentiating the number of eye blinks. This research focused on developing the number of eye blinks. However, in this study, only three blinking were used so that further research could increase these number
SMIMO Radar: MIMO Radar with Subarray Elements of Phased-Array Antenna
Unlike Phased-MIMO Radar (PMIMO) which employs overlapping equal subarrays (OES) only on the transmit (Tx), Subarray-MIMO (SMIMO) radar utilizes the combination of subarrays, both in the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx). SMIMO radar is MIMO radar with subarray elements acting as Phased-Array (PA). It simultaneously combines the primary advantages of PA and the MIMO radar; they are high directional gain and high diversity gain, respectively. High directional gain is beneficial to improve the range target, while high diversity gain is beneficial to improve the number of target detection. The use of the subarray methods in the Tx-Rx array could be configured such as in verlapping subarray (OS), non-overlapping subarray (NOS), equal subarray (ES), unequal subarray (US), and/or the combination of all configurations. Various configurations in Tr-Rx would determine the performance of radar, such as the number of virtual arrays, the maximum number of target detections, the detection accuracies, and the angular resolutions along with its effectivity compared to PA, MIMO, and Phased-MIMO radar. Numerical results and simulation showed that SMIMO provided higher flexibility than other radars by configuring Tx-Rx to easily adapt to various changes of target conditions and their surroundings
Analysis of Information Technology Security Management UKSW SIASAT Using ISO/IEC 27001:2013
IT security management is essential for organizations to notice the occurring risks and opportunities because they will profoundly affect the ongoing business processes within the organization. The Satya Wacana Academic Information System, more often called SIASAT, is an IT component playing an essential role in running core business processes at Satya Wacana Christian University under the control of the Information Systems and Technology Bureau. At this time, the implementation of SIASAT has been going well, but there are still some obstacles. Lack of human resources is one of the findings and one it becomes of the most significant risks as it affects the use of infrastructure and information security. This research was conducted using the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2013, prioritizing information security by taking a planning clause focusing on risk assessment. From the results of this study, there were nine recommendations given. Some of which were the most important, i.e., creating separated standard operating procedure documents for SIASAT, which previously were still affiliated with the Academic Administration Bureau; distributing job descriptions; and providing clear and documented access rights for everyone. It is expected that this research can reduce the occurring risks and can be considered for establishing improvements to enhance academic services in the future
Improving Data Quality and Data Governance Using Master Data Management: A Review
Master data management (MDM) is a method of maintaining, integrating, and harmonizing master data to ensure consistent system information. The primary function of MDM is to control master data to keep it consistent, accurate, current, relevant, and contextual to meet different business needs across applications and divisions. MDM also affects data governance, which is related to establishing organizational actors’ roles, functions, and responsibilities in maintaining data quality. Poor management of master data can lead to inaccurate and incomplete data, leading to lousy stakeholder decision-making. This article is a literature review that aims to determine how MDM improves the data quality and data governance and assess the success of MDM implementation. The review results show that MDM can overcome data quality problems through the MDM process caused by data originating from various scattered sources. MDM encourages organizations to improve data management by adjusting the roles and responsibilities of business actors and information technology (IT) staff documented through data governance. Assessment of the success of MDM implementation can be carried out by organizations to improve data quality and data governance by following the existing framework
Performance of MPSO-MPPT on PV-Based DC Microgrid in Partial Shading Conditions
Microgrid is a controllable decentralized group of energy resources and loads with the ability to operate both in grid-connected or island modes. Photovoltaic (PV) is one of the sources that are commonly used in microgrid. PV has a good ability to convert solar irradiation into electrical energy, especially under ideal condition, namely uniform irradiation or non-shading condition. However, PV often has some problems when facing partial shading condition. In this condition, PV does not produce optimal power because it stucks at the local maximum power point (MPP), thus it unables to track the global MPP. For this reason, it is necessary to implement a smart maximum power point tracker (MPPT) that can solve this problem. Furthermore, MPPT will be implemented in pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the buck converter. This study is focused on designing a laboratory scaled microgrid system with PV sources and controlled by modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO)-based MPPT. The 360 Wp PV array used consisted of two strings of three series modules Solarex MSX-60. The performance of the proposed method was compared with perturb and observe (P&O)-based MPPT, which was the commonly used method on MPPT. Furthermore, it was found that P&O and MPSO performed relatively similar accuracy (with difference of 0.04%) in non-shading condition. However, in partial shading condition, MPSO could perform better by producing greater output power so that it delivers better accuracy (98.74% to 99.11%) compared to P&O (57.95% to 71.87%). However, MPSO required a slightly longer time to converge because it had more complicated method and more computational load
Bidirectional Battery Interface in Standalone Solar PV System for Electrification in Rural Areas
In a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system, a bidirectional DC converter (BDC) is needed to prevent the battery from damage caused by DC bus voltage variation. In this paper, BDC was applied in a standalone solar PV system to interface the battery with a DC bus in a standalone PV system. Therefore, its bidirectional power capability was focused on improving save battery operation while maintaining high power quality delivery. A non-isolated, buck and boost topology for the BDC configuration was used to interface the battery with the DC bus. PID controller-based control strategy was chosen for easy implementation, high reliability, and high dynamic performance. A simulation was conducted using MATLAB Simulink program. The simulation results show that the implementation of the BDC controller can maintain the DC bus voltage to 100 V, have high efficiency at 99.18% in boost mode and 99.48% in buck mode. To prevent the battery from overcharging condition, the BDC stops the charging process and then works as a voltage regulator to maintain the DC bus voltage at reference value
