A crucial aspect of marketing and process controls is the Paddy Rice Grading, which consists of a collection of standardized techniques and procedures for assessing quality. To identify the heat that has been released, IR thermography makes use of the infrared wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. To capture images of the sample, a FLIR ONE thermal camera was used. The average value of the thermal images pixels was used to create a thermal index that served as a representation of each sample. Infrared thermography and image processing techniques were used in this study to evaluate the grading of Paddy rice. The results of the study showed that infrared thermography was 89.01% accurate at detecting moisture content and 95.04% accurate at recogniz- ing foreign objects. The findings showed that Paddy rices moisture content could be precisely de- termined using infrared thermography evaluation using spectrum analysis. The use of non-contact, non-destructive methods for determining about the purity and moisture content of Paddy rice can be very helpful for farmers, rice millers, and other connected government agencies.

The aim of this research was to determine The Effect of age of livestock on the oneset cycle of the bali caws . This research used 21 heifers selected from 47 bali cattle heifers. The method used in this research is a field experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD), namely P1, aged 4-7 years, P2, aged 8 - 11 years, P3, aged 12 - 15 years, with the number of livestock at U1, U2, U3 were 16 and 5 respectively before being given treatment, the cows were selected to ensure the cows were not pregnant by carrying out a pregnancy check with rectal palpation. Cattle that are not pregnant are injected with the synthetic PGF2a hormone 2 ml per head, which contains the active ingredient Cloprostenol 500 µg. Female cows that had been given PGF2a were then observed to estrus from the first day to the sixth day. Data on the percentage of estrus, duration of estrus, intensity of estrus, and speed of onset of estrus symptoms were recorded as measured research variables. The data obtained were analyzed using the T test. The results of the analysis showed that age had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on the heat cycle of bali cow mothers. The conclusion of this research is that age has no effect on the estrus cycle of bali cattle mothers after being injected with the hormone prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a).

The use of traditional medicine in Indonesia is very widespread as a method of treating and preventing diseases, ranging from mild to degenerative diseases. However abuse material chemistry drug (BKO) in stock herbal medicine to increase therapeutic effectiveness becomes a serious problem that endangers consumer health. This study aims to analyze the problem of BKO abuse in herbal medicine, the legal regulations governing it, and law enforcement efforts in Indonesia. The research method uses literature studies from various trusted sources. The results show that regulations such as the Minister of Health Regulation and BPOM supervision have provided a clear legal framework, but law enforcement is often limited to downstream actors. Commonly found BKOs include paracetamol, dexamethasone, and sildenafil, whose uncontrolled use can cause serious side effects and even death.

The research focuses on the positive relationship between school culture and building student character, emphasizing the crucial role of a supportive school environment and character education programs in shaping students behaviour and values. Despite the recognized importance of character education in schools, there is a gap in understanding how school culture specifically impacts the character development of elementary school students. This study aims to explore the impact of school culture on student character development and to identify effective strategies for enhancing character formation in elementary schools. Previous research has highlighted the significance of character education in schools but has not delved deeply into the specific impact of school culture on student character development. The study will be conducted in an elementary school setting, focusing on the interactions among students, teachers, and the community to understand how school culture influences student character. A quantitative study will be conducted using a survey approach, involving the distribution of questionnaires for the elementary school student context to gather data on the impact of school culture in building elementary school student character. Finding emphasizes that character development is most effectively supported when school culture is based on structured and clear communication and rules.

The perception of motion and depth is a critical aspect of human vision, enabling individuals to navigate and interact with their environment effectively. This paper explores the underlying mechanisms of motion and depth perception through a comprehensive computational and neuroimaging approach. We investigate how sensory information from the visual system is transformed to create a coherent representation of motion and spatial relationships. Utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques, we analyze the neural correlates associated with the processing of dynamic visual stimuli. Our computational models simulate the sensory transformations that occur at various stages of visual processing, providing insights into the interplay between visual input and neural responses. The findings reveal significant insights into the neural pathways involved in motion and depth perception, highlighting the role of specific areas and their interactions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of human visual perception and has implications for developing artificial vision systems.

In the long term, the involvement of media partners not only expanded the campaigns reach but also created corporate accountability by exposing companies that continued to use Styrofoam. Intensive coverage established a media precedent that facilitated similar campaigns in the future, while also creating a public archive of the Styrofoam issue that remained accessible even after the campaign ended. Thus, media partners served as a pillar of transformation, transforming #SayNoToStyrofoam from a mere social media hashtag into a sustainable social movement with a tangible impact on policy and public behavior. The research found that Instagram served as a primary platform for delivering emotional and interactive visual messages, while the official website served as a trusted information hub, bolstering the campaigns credibility. Collaboration with media partners successfully expanded the campaigns reach beyond environmental activist circles and lent social legitimacy to the movement. While the campaign generated high public engagement and drove some behavioral changes at the business level, the research identified several key challenges. These challenges included social media algorithm bias that limited reach, the gap between awareness and concrete action, and the echo chamber effect among supporters who already had environmental concerns. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of a multi-strategy approach that combines the power of digital media with cross-sector collaboration to create sustainable impact. These findings provide an important contribution to understanding the potential and limitations of social media as an environmental advocacy tool in the digital age.
