This study uses a descriptive quantitative method by collecting data through a survey of 58 respondents who have visited the three destinations. The data was processed using SPSS software to test the validity, reliability, and influence of negative reviews on the interest of tourist visits. The results of the analysis showed that negative reviews did not significantly affect the interest of tourists visiting Borobudur Temple, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko Palace. All three destinations remain the top choice for tourists, despite the negative reviews, mainly due to their strong historical reputation and visual appeal.

Adaptasi Penggunaan Teknologi Media Sosial dan Media Televisi dalam Mengakses Informasi pada Generasi X di Desa Tapos Depok

As one of the developing countries, the development of the information society is marked by the emergence of media industries such as print media (newspapers, magazines, tabloids, etc.) and electronic media (radio, television). The ease of use of new technologies most influences the decisions of users of different ages. The influence of age has a direct impact on a person's perception of the usefulness of information technology in short-term and long-term use. A generation is defined as a group of individuals identified based on the year of birth, age, characteristics, and life events that occur at their developmental stage. The emergence of new media technologies creates new habits and new cultures in media consumption, which has an impact on social, cultural, economic, and political aspects. This research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative method to understand what factors affect the attitude of using social media and television media in generation X in Tapos Village. The population in this study is generation X of Tapos Village. The research sample was 100 people. Sampling was done using purposive sampling and data analysis using SEM-PLS with Smart PLS.

Sensory studies on the taste and flavor perception of food products by anodal transcutaneous electrical stimulation.

Electrical taste technologies designed to modify the taste of foods have recently garnered increasing recognition as a viable strategy to regulate excessive salt intake. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) is a method used in non-invasive electrical taste stimulation, which involves the placement of electrodes near the mouth (not inside the mouth) to avoid disruption of natural eating behavior. Previous studies have demonstrated the taste-enhancing effect of anodal TES (aTES) applied to the anterior part of the jaw. However, there has been no detailed examination of TES-mediated alteration of the taste characteristics of different types of food products with complex flavors. In this study involving 27 human participants, we used the Quantitative Descriptive Profile method to conduct a sensory evaluation investigation of aTES-mediated changes in taste characteristics of six processed food products: cold potato potage, chicken broth soup, rice porridge with pickled plums (umeboshi), Chinese pork stir fry, stir-fried pork and radish, and fried dumplings. The application of aTES significantly increased both the intensity of saltiness and overall taste in all six foods. Furthermore, aTES significantly enhanced and suppressed some of the flavor attributes of these foods. An aTES-mediated increase in palatability was only observed in fried dumplings, indicating that further investigation of the relationship between flavor characteristics and palatability is needed.
