Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Informasi Wisata Kabupaten Indramayu Berbasis Mobile Android

Indramayu Regency in West Java has substantial potential in the tourism sector, which can bolster the region's economic growth. However, the dissemination of information about tourist attractions in Indramayu is limited, necessitating the creation of an application to simplify the search for tourism data and information. This study successfully designed and developed an Android-based mobile application named Wisayu using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method to create a fast, efficient, and user-friendly app. The application was tested in two phases: alpha testing and beta testing. Alpha testing employed blackbox and whitebox methods, yielding valid results. Beta testing was divided into two parts: quantitative data analysis for validity and reliability testing, and descriptive statistical analysis using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The quantitative data analysis revealed that 22 out of 26 indicators were valid, with Pearson Product Moment correlation values exceeding the r table value of 0.33, while the remaining 4 indicators were below the r table value. The Cronbach's Alpha value for the 26 questionnaire items was 0.63, indicating good reliability. Descriptive statistical analysis showed positive evaluations in each UEQ dimension, with attractiveness scoring 1.32, pragmatic quality 1.63, and hedonic quality 1.11, demonstrating that the application was well-received by users.

PyIgH : A unified architecture of IgH EtherCAT Master based on Python considering hard real-time constraints

The increasing demand for rapid application development tools, especially those employing high-level languages such as Python, has underscored the importance of utilizing a wide array of popular libraries while addressing real-time constraints in distributed hardware systems. This paper introduces PyIgH, a unified architecture of an IgH EtherCAT master based on Python, specifically designed to satisfy hard real-time requirements in an EtherCAT network. Implemented as a Python module, PyIgH exposes the functionalities and capabilities of an open-source EtherCAT master, facilitating seamless configuration and control of EtherCAT slave devices within the Python runtime environment. Real-time adaptation of the POSIX library, encapsulated within Python, is also utilized to satisfy the timing requirements of EtherCAT. The feasibility of the proposed approach is verified by analyzing the real-time performance in terms of periodicity and in-controller delay of the EtherCAT control task with a 1 kHz cycle. Experimental results demonstrate that PyIgH is suitable for hard real-time applications and serves as a valid alternative to conventional low-level EtherCAT masters. Additionally, a practical application involving motion control of a six-axis collaborative robot showcases consistent performance of PyIgH within a real-time multi-tasking environment.

Penerapan Langchain Retriever dengan Model Chat Openai dalam Pengembangan Sistem Chatbot Hadis Berbasis Telegram

In Islamic studies, the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) hold significant value as guides for behavior and faith. However, access to understanding Hadiths often presents challenges, espe-cially for those who are not Hadith experts. The digitalization of Hadiths is still limited, making it time-consuming to find answers by sifting through the vast amount of available information. This research aims to create an efficient chatbot that provides answers related to Hadiths, including the original sources, quickly. The proposed solution is a technology-based approach through the development of a Hadith chatbot on Telegram, integrated with the LangChain Retriever and the GPT-4-1106-preview chat model from OpenAI. Using LangChain Retriever helps the chatbot find accurate answers by matching user questions with relevant Hadith databases, enhancing the ac-curacy of the chatbot's responses. The GPT-4-1106-preview chat model enables the chatbot to generate natural and context-appropriate responses, improving user interaction. The Rapid Ap-plication Development (RAD) method is applied in system development, through stages of Re-quirement Planning, User Design, Construction, and Cut-Over, including data analysis of Hadiths from the Nine Imam Hadith Books, totaling 62,169 Hadiths. The chatbot's performance evaluation uses the Scoring Evaluator framework with an average evaluation score of 0.97 and quality answer evaluation testing by five Hadith experts with an accuracy percentage of 90%. The Scoring Eval-uator test results indicate that the responses are highly accurate and aligned with Hadith refer-ences, and the quality answer evaluation test on a Likert scale shows respondents strongly agree with the system's answers. This research contributes to laypersons wanting to learn Hadiths by utilizing the chatbot as an interactive and innovative learning medium. Further research can expand the focus to complex interpretations of Musykil al-Hadith and asbab al-wurud to address deeper questions about Hadith interpretation.
