The book “How Water Makes Us Human” broadly argues that the human relationship with water is co-constitutive, in that humans not only utilize water but are also materially and existentially shaped alongside it. Through the framework of New Materialities (NM), Attala demonstrates that human life is embedded within a broader material network, where the substance of the world is not merely a passive backdrop but an element that actively enables and configures human existence. This book highlights how this liquid matter—water—functions as a connecting medium that physically and conceptually…

Batik Wastewater Management in Cirebon continues to face persistent implementation challenges, despite the availability of treatment technologies. This condition reflects a technocultural misalignment between technological solutions and community capacity. Therefore, this study examines wastewater management in Cirebon

Indonesia is among the countries with the largest number of TikTok users worldwide, with a difference of about 3.52 million users compared to the country ranked first. The widespread use of smartphones for social media activities may influence users’ body posture and visual comfort. This study examined the effect of using lazy glasses on body posture and eye discomfort while operating the TikTok application on a smartphone in sitting and lying positions. Ten university students (mean ± SD age = 23.4 ± 0.97 years) participated in the experiment. Four experimental conditions were evaluated:…

The growing reliance on social media as a central communication infrastructure has required nonprofit organizations to adopt more deliberate and adaptive digital strategies to sustain audience engagement. This study examines the digital communication strategy of the Odesa Foundation, focusing on content management practices and audience interaction across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research draws on in-depth interviews with key organizational actors, systematic observation of social media activity over a specified period, and…

This study assesses a learning management system (LMS) from the viewpoint of firstyear students, focusing on their level of acceptance toward LMS usage. Notably, 65.81% of respondents have been familiar with online learning platforms since junior high school, indicating a high degree of digital experience. During university orientation, students were introduced to the LMS through various learning activities, including campus introduction modules, online quizzes, and assignment submissions. To assess usability, data were gathered from 2,267 students who used a Likert scale to complete the…

Physical exhibitions struggle to sustain networks after events conclude. While online platforms expand accessibility, they often lack immersive depth and lasting engagement. This study introduces Jalirupa, an innovative conceptual prototype. Through systematic comparative platform analysis of DeviantArt, Saatchi Art, and GAC, the study identifies a structural gap: the absence of integrated curation, long-term interaction, and emerging-artist support. Using Actor-Network Theory (Latour) and symbolic capital (Bourdieu), the research analyzes Jalirupa’s socio-technical features, such as…

Lombok Island is a major center for the cultivation of the Pinctada maxima pearl oyster, a species renowned for producing high-value South Sea pearls. The sustainability of pearl farming in this region relies not only on favorable water quality but also on the effective implementation of Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM), which integrates the roles of government agencies, industry stakeholders, and local communities in safeguarding marine ecosystem integrity. This study applied an EBM approach to assess environmental suitability for sustainable pearl cultivation in West Lombok. Field data were…

Despite its favorable outlook, Islamic religious tourism in Indonesia faces persistent challenges, particularly the low adoption of technology stemming from a socio-cultural strategy mismatch. This study aimed to identify user personas, appropriate platform features, and effective market penetration strategies for a Nusantara Islamic religious tourism platform. Employing a mixed-method design, the study applied Design Thinking principles (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test) alongside Graham Robertson

Despite the importance of environmental control in specialty coffee production, predictive and data-driven systems that connect environmental conditions with coffee acidity remain limited, particularly in smallholder farming contexts. This study aims to design and implement a digital platform based on the Gradient Boosting algorithm to analyze the relationship between environmental factors (soil, topography, and climate) and coffee acidity (pH) levels in Bandung Regency. Through a machine learning approach, the developed model successfully captures complex non-linear relationships between…

Working mothers often face challenges at work due to the lack of adequate, comfortable, and standardized breast pumping facilities, forcing them to express milk in unsuitable places like bathrooms, storage rooms, or under desks. This research explores the adaptation of traditional lactation rooms into lactation pods in Indonesian office settings, focusing on mothers returning to work after maternity leave. Using a user-centered design approach, this qualitative study aims to promote understanding and serve as a medium for advocating gender equality in the workplace. The research highlights…
