PERAMALAN HARGA GULA PASIR MENGGUNAKAN VARIASI KALENDER REGARIMA DENGAN MOVING HOLIDAY EFFECT (PERIODE JANUARI 2018 SAMPAI DENGAN DESEMBER 2022 DI PASAR KOTA SEMARANG)

National sugar production is decreasing day by day with the pattern of people's consumption of sugar continuing to increase, thus encouraging the government to import sugar from other countries to meet food needs. This is because the import of granulated sugar causes the price of local granulated sugar to fluctuate which can rise up to 2 times the highest retail price. Eid al-Fitr is determined based on the Islamic calendar, this will cause a shift in the date each year on the Maseh calendar, the date of the celebration of Eid al-Fitr which moves from year to year is known as the "moving holiday effect". One of the calendar variation models used to eliminate the Holiday Effect Transfer and has a simple processing flow is the RegARIMA model. The RegARIMA model method is a modeling technique that combines the ARIMA model with the regression model. In the regression model, the weight matrix is used as the independent variable and the price of granulated sugar is used as the dependent variable. The weight value is obtained based on the number of days that affect Eid, which is 14 days. Based on an analysis of the price of granulated sugar in the Semarang City market for the period January 2018 to December 2022, the best model is obtained, namely SARIMA (1,0,0)12 with the smallest AIC value and the sMAPE value obtained from forecasting data for 2021 is of 19.04%, which means that the forecasting is still at a reasonable level.

Landslide Identification on Tembalang-Jangli New Road, Semarang, Central Java Using Dipole-Dipole Configuration Resistivity Geoelectric Method

New roads are built to alleviate congestion that occurs in an area. Tembalang is one of the most densely populated areas in Semarang city. The research location is Tembalang-Jangli New Road. The construction of Jangli-Undip New Road aims to reduce congested vehicle traffic in Gombel and Meteseh, which causes frequent congestion. Therefore, subsurface identification using the resistivity geoelectric method of dipole-dipole configuration was carried out to know the cause of landslides at the research location. Data acquisition was carried out with 10 passes. The results obtained 5 (five) layers of subsurface constituent rocks on Undip-Jangli New Road based on their resistivity values, namely topsoil (0.105 - 1.0 Ωm), clay (1.11 - 6.29 Ωm), sandstone (8.52 - 20.0 Ωm), tuff (20.0 - 75.0 Ωm), and volcanic breccia (75.0 - 133 Ωm). The interpretation results show the sliding plane at a 6.76 - 24.8 m depth. The layer that acts as a slide plane is a clay layer. The existence of sliding planes detected in the trajectories A-A’, B-B’, C-C‘, D-D’, E-E‘, F-F’, G-G‘, H-H’, I-I‘, and J-J’ has great potential to cause soil movement or landslides with the type of sliding is rotation.

Exploring the relationship between self-stigma and resilience among people living with HIV: a cross-sectional study

HIV is a disease that not only affects physical health but also carries a heavy psychological burden, primarily through self-stigma. Self-stigma can lead to low self-esteem, helplessness, and social isolation, weakening resilience or an individual's ability to survive and adapt to life's challenges. However, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the specific mechanisms by which resilience can mitigate the impact of self-stigma on PLHIV. Whether resilience can completely neutralize the effects of self-stigma or only partially is a question that still requires further answers. This study aims to find out the relationship between self-stigma and resilience among people living with HIV. This research used an observational research design using a cross-sectional approach. 150 HIV patients at Six Public Health Centre of Semarang City were involved in using purposive sampling techniques. The data was gathered using the Indonesian version of CD-RISC and the Indonesian version of the Self-Stigma Questionnaire. Spearman rank correlations were used to analyze the data. The health research ethics committee of the faculty of nursing at Universitas Islam Sultan Agung has approved this study as ethically appropriate. The results found a relationship between self-stigma and resilience where a p-value of 0.006 < α (0.05) with a contingency coefficient value of 0.222. The self-stigma and resilience have a weak correlation. Self-stigma can weaken the ability to create resilience in PLHIV, although the impact may vary depending on other factors. Nurses or health workers need to pay attention to PLHIV, who experience self-stigma, to rise and be resilient while being HIV positive.

Optimal Propagation Model for DVB-T2 System in Urban Area

The large-scale implementation of analog switch-off for television broadcasting in Indonesia has led to blank spots in several regions. To address this issue, an optimal propagation model is needed. Proper selection and analysis of the channel model can enhance transmitter coverage, increase coverage percentage, improve energy efficiency, and boost field strength due to optimal transmit power. Previous studies have explored various DVB-T2 propagation models, notably the ITU-R P.1812-4 and Longley-Rice models, which are sophisticated and consider various environmental parameters, making them suitable for diverse broadcasting conditions. This research introduces a novel approach by specifically focusing on the urban context of Semarang City, Indonesia, to reduce blank spots by applying the ITU-R P.1812-4 and Longley-Rice propagation models. This study uniquely compares the two models to determine the most effective one for this urban area. Results indicate that the ITU-R P.1812-4 model provides a higher field strength value than the Longley-Rice model, with average field strengths of 108.3425 dBμV/m and 108.2325 dBμV/m, respectively. The difference in average field strength of 0.11 dBμV/m, despite having the same free space loss value of 100.9025 dB, indicates that one model has a slightly stronger signal. This stronger signal can improve coverage by reaching further distances and penetrating obstacles better. Additionally, a stronger signal means less power is needed to maintain the same coverage area, thus improving energy efficiency. This research not only offers empirical data specific to Semarang City but also provides insights that can guide future digital broadcasting optimizations in similar urban environments.
