LSTM-based forecasting on electric vehicles battery swapping demand: Addressing infrastructure challenge in Indonesia

This article aims to design a model for forecasting the number of vehicles arriving at the battery swap station (BSS). In our case, we study the relevance of the proposed approach given the rapid increase in electric vehicle users in Indonesia. Due to the vehicle electrification program from the government of Indonesia and the lack of supporting infrastructure, forecasting battery swap demands is very important for charging schedules. Forecasting the number of vehicles is done using machine learning with the long short-term memory (LSTM) method. The method is used to predict sequential data because of its ability to review previous data in addition to the current input. The result of the forecasting using the LSTM method yields a prediction score using the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 2.3079 x 10-6 . The forecasted data can be combined with the battery charging model to acquire predicted hourly battery availability that can be processed further for optimization and scheduling.

An Insight into Indonesia's Challenges in Implementing Newborn Screening Programs and Their Future Implications.

Due to high entry barriers, countries might find it daunting to implement the NBS program, especially those just trying to start it. This review aims to discuss Indonesia's barriers that hinder newborn screening (NBS) implementation while discussing the future implications. Literature in Pubmed and Google Scholar was scoured with keywords such as "Newborn Screening", "Neonatal Screening", "Indonesia", "Asia Pacific", "Barriers", and "Challenges". We also searched for relevant references in those published articles. Grey literature, such as state regulations, informative webinars on the topics by experts regarding current situations, and press releases by the Indonesian Minister of Health (MoH), was also searched. Newborn screening is no longer considered just a laboratory test but an array of well-harmonized systems that must be orchestrated well. Some of the barriers Indonesia faces in implementing NBS are a lack of prevalence data, ethical issues, infrastructure, cost-benefit analysis, logistical issues, government support, patient issues, a lack of commitments, and a lack of healthcare workers, specialization, and training. Government support with professional advocates and support groups, proper infrastructure, and a single-payer system for NBS programs are necessary to accelerate NBS programs in Indonesia.

Upaya Membangun Teologi Pembebasan Indonesia: Belajar dari Konteks Siria-Irak dan Palestina

The purpose of this article is to provide a new perspective in building theology that is appropriate to the Indonesian context. In an effort to build a distinctive Indonesian theology, the author explores the Syria-Iraq and Palestinian contexts that live in the midst of all situations and challenges in maintaining faith. John Damascus, al-Kindy al-Hasyimi, and Mitri Raheb developed a theology that fits the Syria-Iraq and Palestinian contexts. In their explanations, they present familiar terminology for the Syria-Iraq and Palestine situations, making it easier for Christians to explain the content of the Christian faith. In this way, Indonesian Christians can learn from Syrian-Iraqi and Palestinian Christians in building a Liberation theology that is uniquely Indonesian. To build a Liberation theology in Indonesia, it is necessary to pay attention to the challenges in Indonesia, namely the many cultures and religious traditions and more importantly to the issue of sectarianism or intolerance that results in violence. If the starting point for theology departs from the explanation of Jesus, there will be a clash. The Federation of Asian Bishops Conference (FABC) suggests doing theology in Asia, specifically in Indonesia, not starting with Christology but starting with Pneumatology.

Packaged drinking water in Indonesia: The determinants of household in the selection and management process

Abstract The availability of safe drinking water remains a challenge in Indonesia. Packaged water in bottles or refillable containers has been increasingly popular as an alternative to good-quality drinking water. This study aimed to identify the reasons for the selection, management, and factors that influenced bottled and refilled water use in Indonesia. A cross-sectional Household Drinking Water Quality (HDWQ) study was conducted in 34 Indonesian provinces in 2020 involving 7,236 households as analyzed samples. The data analysis also included the 2020 National Socioeconomic Survey data to obtain households' socioeconomic status. As many as 68 and 63% of households consumed good-quality bottled and refilled water, respectively. Health was the reason for 29% of households choosing good-quality bottled water, while 49% of households selected good-quality refilled water out of habit. Several factors related to the consumption of fine-quality packaged water were high social status, water physical quality, ease of access, health reason, monthly expenses to buy drinking water, and storing water in manufactured containers. Packaged water, whether bottled or refilled, does not guarantee good physical and chemical quality. Therefore, to ensure good quality, the water storage should be kept from contamination.

1. INNOVATION: ROBUST AIR POWER CAPABLE OF CONTINUAL MARITIME OPERATIONS AND REINFORCED NATIONAL CYBER STRATEGY TO PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY

Clausewitz‘s thought that the character of war is influenced by technology is still relevant to theStrategic Competition (Great Power Competition). The competition and the new character of war couldimpact Indonesia through the Sino-India and the Taiwan scenario both in peacetime and wartime. Anyattempt to use force against U.S. friends and allies would propel the US to use conventional militarypower and even a limited nuclear.1 Therefore it will impact the population and create two challengesfor Indonesia. The challenge predominantly comes from the sea. The first challenge is the spilloverof the competition both in peacetime and wartime. The spillover in peacetime is the claim by Chinaover Indonesia’s territory and EEZ in the South China Sea (SCS). While in wartime is the predictableflood of refugees due to the Sino-India scenario into Indonesian waters; and the expansion of conflictto Indonesia’s territory in the SCS due to the Taiwan scenario.. The second challenge is the risk ofcyber-based hybrid war. This essay argues,with the objective the spillovers are manageable and thecyberthreats are denied, hence, Indonesia should innovate by building up robust air power capable ofcontinual maritime operations, and reinforcing its National Cyber Strategy to protect national security.

Exploring the tuberculosis medication program in Indonesia as perceived by patients and their families: A qualitative study.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, with the country experiencing one of the highest numbers of lost cases in TB management. Therefore, there is a need to identify the underlying reasons for this problem. This study aimed to explore the experiences of TB-diagnosed patients and their families during the time of diagnosis and while undergoing the TB medication program. This study employed a qualitative descriptive-interpretive approach. The study was conducted in government community health centers (CHC) from May 2022 to July 2022. A total of 22 participants, consisting of 12 TB-diagnosed patients and ten family members, were included in the study. Data were collected through focus group discussions and analyzed thematically. Five themes were developed: (1) Delay in tuberculosis diagnosis, (2) Delay in starting TB treatment, (3) High willingness of patients and their families to recover, (4) Understanding that TB is an infectious disease, and (5) Factors affecting patient recovery. The study findings might contribute to the National TB elimination program. It is recommended that all health workers practicing in the community should be involved in the TB program to improve its management. Collaboration between multiple sectors in the community can also provide an advantage in solving TB problems by increasing new case detection. Additionally, it is suggested that all nurses working with TB patients establish rapport with health cadres and patients' families to enhance medication adherence in patients.
