PENGEMBANGAN WEBSITE PANDUAN MENANAM DAN PEMELIHARAAN ANGGREK MENGGUNAKAN METODE UX DESIGN THINKING DAN INFOGRAFIS
No full textAnggrek merupakan bunga yang banyak digemari karena memiliki warna yang indah dan bentuk bunga yang unik. Namun, tidak semua orang dapat merawat anggrek dengan baik dan benar. Berdasarkan hasil observasi komunitas anggrek, wawancara dengan penggemar, dan pemula terdapat beberapa kesalahan dalam merawat anggrek seperti penyiraman yang tidak tepat serta kondisi lingkungan yang tidak sesuai untuk pertumbuhan anggrek. Selain itu, informasi terkait anggrek terkadang sulit ditemukan, tersebar, tidak lengkap, dan sulit dimengerti. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti mengembangkan website informasi anggrek dengan pendekatan Design Thinking agar website yang dibuat dapat memiliki user experience yang baik. Selain itu, peneliti menggunakan infografis untuk menyampaikan informasi yang kompleks dengan cara yang cepat dan mudah dipahami. Hasil evaluasi dari 35 responden menunjukkan website yang dibuat mendapatkan nilai “Excellent” pada skala attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, stimulation, dependability, dan novelty Pada pengujian SUS diperoleh skor 84 nilai tersebut masuk kedalam kategori “Good” dengan rentang penerimaan pengguna “acceptable”. Pengujian infografis mendapatkan nilai sangat layak dari validasi ahli dan 90% pengguna merasa infografis dapat membantu mereka dalam memahami informasi.
Orchids are popular flowers because they have beautiful colors and unique flower shapes. However, not everyone can take care of orchids properly. Based on observations of orchid communities, interviews with hobbyists, and beginners, there are several mistakes in caring for orchids such as improper watering and environmental conditions that are not suitable for orchid growth. In addition, information related to orchids is sometimes difficult to find, scattered, incomplete, and difficult to understand. Therefore, researchers developed an orchid information website with a Design Thinking approach so that the website created can have a good user experience. In addition, researchers used infographics to convey complex information in a fast and easy-to-understand way. The evaluation results from 35 respondents showed that the website received an "Excellent" rating on the attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, stimulation, dependability, and. In SUS testing, a score of 84 was obtained, the value fell into the "Good" category with a range of "Acceptable" user acceptance. Infographic testing received a very decent score from expert validation and 90% of users felt that infographics could help them understand the information

Author Obfuscation on Indonesian News Articles Using Genetic Algorithms
No full textAuthorship attribution is a method for identifying the author of a text from a group of potential authors and can solve the anonymity of unknown authors. Such method threatens anyone’s privacy, especially those who wish to write anonymously. To address this issue, author obfuscation is proposed to modify a text to disguise its author.In this research, a genetic algorithm-based author obfuscation model was created to modify Indonesian news articles to avoid identification from authorship attribution while keeping its semantics. The model iteratively changed some words in the article using crossover and mutation techniques guided by a fitness function which involve identification probability and similarity to the original article.The model is evaluated based on safety, soundness, and sensibleness parameter. The model has good safety since it can reduce the given authorship attribution model's accuracy by 0.3018 but drops to 0.1179 when tested on different models. Its soundness is pretty good since the similarity of the modified to the original articles reaches 0.7817. The model obtained a score of 2.571 on a scale of 0 to 4 in terms of sensibleness which indicates that some articles are acceptable in terms of grammar, but not a few are messy
ANALYSIS OF THE AVAILABILITY AND IDENTIFICATION OF PUBLIC GREEN OPEN SPACES IN GKU 1 AND GKU 2 AT INSTITUT TEKNOLOGI SUMATERA CAMPUS
No full textInstitut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) is a higher education institution located in the village of Way Huwi, South Lampung Regency. It was established to fulfill the educational needs centered on the island of Suamtera. ITERA campus was formerly a green area used for rubber plantations and forests which underwent transformation due to the demand for academic buildings. This transformations is ecidenced by the construction of the General Lecture Building (GKU) and Engineering Laboratory Building (Labtek) 1-4. This reserarch focuses on GKU 1 and 2, which serve as the central academic hubs for three faculties of ITERA. The aim is to identify issues related to the availability of public green open spaces in each building. Both GKU building have the potential to function as communal zones that can be utilized for discussions, relaxation, and studying due to their distinct characteristics in terms of green space forms and types. The research methodology employs both quantitative and qualitative methods, such as parameters of Responsive Environments, The Likert Scale, and interviews related to the questionnaire, with the primary target audience being ITERA’s students. The research results highlight various shortcomings and advantages in each GKU building. Recommendarions for improvemenr are expected to refine the research outcomes for ITERA
