The ultimate benefit of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to improve quality of life by supporting the automation and interconnection of various services; this interconnection includes public facilities in platforms such as smart cities. IoT implementation is believed to improve services and yield additional benefits. However, assessment of how the IoT brings such an experience to users is still a challenge that is not yet standardized. Given that little research has discussed this issue, this paper aims to formulate a framework for measuring the quality of experience (QoE) regarding IoT services on the basis of the Absolute Category Rating with Hidden Reference (ACR-HR) scale, which measures the perception of experience by having the IoT users provide scores for their experiences before and after IoT implementation. The proposed framework consists of 5 steps: setting up the focus of the IoT services and the QoE parameters being assessed, defining users of IoT services, conducting a mean opinion score (MOS) survey of the users, calculating the DMOS (differential MOS) on the basis of the ACR-HR quantitative scale, and finally providing the strategic implications to those who implement the service. To test the proposed framework, we have conducted a proof of concept by measuring the QoE for the IoT services in the Jakarta Smart City platform. Six institutional users operate the IoT for their public services, ranging from fire and rescue brigades to public bus transportation. The results imply that the IoT-based services provide a good experience to institutional users when compared to the state of services without IoT. A strategic implication is that some features of Jakarta Smart City must be evaluated and improved to increase the level of satisfaction of users. To conclude, our framework is sufficiently reliable in measuring the QoE for IoT-based services and can be recommended for use for any other IoT-type service.

Sandy soil has a low ability to absorb and store low water, low nutrient content, and a high water evaporation rate, so it is not suitable to be used as agricultural land. Superabsorbents can be used to overcome these weaknesses. The purpose of this study was to measure the abilities of the superabsorbents, including water holding, swelling, and water retention of sandy soil enriched with superabsorbent, and to analyze the chitosan-graft-poly(acrylic acid) superabsorbent characteristics. The superabsorbent was prepared by mixing a chitosan solution with ammonium persulfate as an initiator and acrylic acid, which had been neutralized with KOH. Then, the mixture was cross-linked with N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). The resulting superabsorbent gel was dried in an oven and then crushed for analysis. The results showed that an increase in chitosan concentration increased the gel fraction, swelling, reusability, and water holding. Meanwhile, an increase in chitosan concentration decreased water retention in sandy soils. The swelling kinetics can be predicted using the pseudo-second-order model with high accuracy (R2 value of 0.99).

Previous research had shown that current generation had lower relatedness to nature, but these findings came from studies with mostly western respondents. This study aims to explore-nature relatedness in Indonesian students and to identified what factors are related to their nature relatedness. 363 students from several universities in Indonesia joined the online survey. They were between 17- 43 years old. In our study, we found that Indonesia students were moderately in nature relatedness (M= 85,73, SD= 12,137). Nature relatedness was not related to age, gender, home town, vehicles used for transportation, and time used for smartphones. The major findings of this study have shown that students who are environmental activist were the most related to nature. To enhance nature relatedness, we suggests that joining environmental activities is a good way to promote nature relatedness.

One of the biggest challenges that have to be faced by students of university is deciding on a specific career after graduating from university. The aims of this study are for knowing what students needed (study 1) and for testing whether career counseling can increase CDSE students of the university (study 2). In study 1, we use qualitative and quantitative approaches. On the other side, study 2 uses Quasi-Experimental within-subject pre and post-tests designed to monitor the role of career counseling on students. Study 2 involves (N=15) students CDMSES-SF is adopted in Bahasa and Culture. Using the Wilcoxon test on SPSS 24, we intend to know the significance of changes in students' CDSE. The results from study 1 are what needed on career counseling is materials concerning on grooming and writing curriculum (54.8% of 31 students), planning for facing the environment where they work (51.6% of 31 students), and tips and strategies to obtain a scholarship for the master program (54.8% of 31 students). Then, results of study 2 indicate there is a significant change of gathering occupational information (Z=–2.194; p<.05) and making plans for the future (Z=–2.204; p<.05) after career counseling. From this research, future career counseling concerns gathering occupational information and making plans for the future.

Meningkatkan Career Decision Self-Efficacy Melalui Konseling Karier Abstrak Salah satu tantangan terbesar yang harus dihadapi oleh mahasiswa adalah membuat keputusan tentang karier tertentu setelah lulus dari universitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa yang dibutuhkan siswa (studi 1) dan untuk menguji apakah konseling karier dapat meningkatkan siswa CDSE dari universitas (studi 2). Dalam studi 1, kami menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Di sisi lain, Studi 2 menggunakan Kuasi-Eksperimental dengan pra dan pasca tes subjek yang dirancang untuk memantau peran konseling karier pada siswa. Studi 2 melibatkan (N=15) siswa CDMSES-SF diadopsi dalam Bahasa dan Budaya. Menggunakan uji Wilcoxon pada SPSS 24, kami bermaksud untuk mengetahui pentingnya perubahan pada CDSE siswa. Hasil dari studi 1 adalah apa yang diperlukan pada konseling karier adalah materi mengenai kurikulum perawatan dan menulis (54,8% dari 31 siswa), perencanaan untuk menghadapi lingkungan tempat mereka bekerja (51,6% dari 31 siswa), dan tips serta strategi untuk memperoleh beasiswa untuk program master (54,8% dari 31 siswa). Kemudian, hasil penelitian 2 menunjukkan ada perubahan yang signifikan dalam mengumpulkan informasi pekerjaan (Z=–2,194; p<0,05) dan membuat rencana untuk masa depan (Z=–2,204; p<0,05) setelah konseling karier. Dari penelitian ini, konseling karier masa depan berkaitan dengan gathering occupational information and making plans for the future. Kata kunci: CDSE, konseling karier, mahasiswa, wisuda

<p class="AbstakIndo">Salah satu masalah yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia pada tahun 2020 adalah adanya pandemi Covid-19. Tenaga medis sebagai garda terdepan saat ini memiliki peran penting dalam menangani Covid-19. Namun, kesiapsiagaan pemerintah di awal pandemi dalam penanganan protokoler kesehatan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) bagi tenaga medis belum mencukupi. Di tengah kurangnya APD untuk mencegah penyebaran Covid-19 pada tenaga medis, muncul gerakan sosial berupa kampanye penggalangan dana #BersamaLawanCorona yang diinisiasi oleh para <em>influencer</em> melalui platform <em>crowdfunding</em>. Studi ini merupakan sebuah <em>conceptual paper</em> dengan metode kualitatif <em>literature review</em> yang berusaha menjelaskan bagaimana kredibilitas <em>influencer</em> memengaruhi perilaku individu dalam berdonasi di masa pandemi Covid-19. Hasil studi ini dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan masukan positif bagi individu yang akan melakukan donasi agar lebih memerhatikan kredibilitas yang dimiliki <em>influencer</em> dan platform <em>crowdfunding</em> yang digunakannya. Serta bagaimana individu dapat memanfaatkan kredibilitas dirinya dalam konteks perilaku berdonasi.</p>
