Quality Production

In recent years, the declining and aging population of farmers has become a serious problem. Smart agriculture has been promoted to solve these problems. It is a type of agriculture that utilizes robotics, and information and communication technology to promote labor saving, precision, and realization of high-quality production. In this research, we focused on robots that can harvest tomatoes. Tomatoes are delicate vegetables with a thin skin and a relatively large yield. During automatic harvesting of tomatoes, to ensure the operation of the harvesting arm, an input by image processing is crucial to determine the color of the tomatoes at the time of harvesting. Research on robot image processing technology is indispensable for accurate operation of the arm. In an environment where tomatoes are harvested, obstacles such as leaves, stems, and unripe tomatoes should be taken into consideration. Therefore, in this research, we propose a method of image processing to provide an appropriate route for the arm to ensure easy harvesting, considering the surrounding obstacles.

Smart Agriculture

In the era of agriculture 4.0, cutting-edge technologies including Information and communication technology (ICT) is being introduced into traditional agriculture. As farm intelligence emerges as a key area of smart agriculture, the scope of agriculture has expanded from the seed industry to distribution and logistics, however the area that is still most directly connected to the physical agricultural environment is smart farming. Cybersecurity incidents or cybercrimes in smart farming can directly damage crops and harm human safety. Research on individual technical elements that constitute smart farming has been ongoing for a long time relatively, however it has not been long since the work of systematically identifying and classifying threats to smart agriculture as a whole. In this study, STRIDE threat modeling is used to identify cyber threats to greenhouse and make system design more robust. Through this work, we have derived 126 threats and have created 4 types of attack trees. It will be the basis to allow systematic threat classification more clearly in smart greenhouse.

PT XYZ is a subsidiary of one of the largest IT companies in Indonesia which is engaged in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The company's business unit consists of many aspects, for example in the IT distribution business, providing retail for ICT products, outsourcing IT personnel, designing, installing and maintaining all things related to information technology. In order to run all of its businesses, this XYZ company requires a lot of high quality and high quality human resources, but with the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic, the work process for PT. XYZ is disturbed because it is done in their respective homes. This results in difficulties for employees in processing administrative matters with the office. One of them is in the matter of taking care of leave permits because the previous leave licensing process was still done manually. The management decided to build an application that can be used by all employees in all subsidiaries. Therefore, the aim of this research is to make an application that can support the administrative needs of employees in the field of leave licensing called "LeaveRequest". This application is designed using the Java programming language with the Spring Boot framework and using the Waterfall software development method. This study found the results that the majority of respondents strongly agree with the design and usability of this application, so it can be concluded that the LeaveRequest application has succeeded in fulfilling the needs in serving the utility of PT. XYZ in work from home condition.

Technology plays an important role in development, even though it seems that technology has modified certain aspects of it in areas where development is challenging. Telecom has been successfully implemented all over the world. In a developing country like Pakistan, technology can be found in even the most remote villages. Nowadays, a mobile tower can be seen anywhere, and many people use mobile phones. With the help of Information and Communication Technology, this beautiful use of technology has helped growth of almost every profession. Saving crops from diseases has become a major concern for policymakers in the twenty-first century. Countries are also working to increase yields in order to satisfy rising domestic demand and generate exportable surpluses. Farmers fertilize a variety of crops for food, fiber, and hay for their livestock. The available resources are limited and cannot be increased. Different diseases, such as black stem rust of wheat, orange or leaf rust of wheat, fungicides, and others, cause damage to wheat, cotton, maize, and millet, resulting in a marginal to 100% loss in production. All major food crops, such as wheat, cotton, maize, and millet, are continuously attacked by unique diseases, making it difficult to enforce policies or procedures that would improve per-hectare production. There are several apps available for agricultural guidance, but ours is interesting in that it is written in Sindhi, while other apps are written in English. Sindh has a large population, and the female literacy rate was 43% last year, compared to 47% the year before. In contrast to 2012-19, male education in Sindh has decreased from 72% to 67%. So, if a person does not understand the language, how can he be properly guided? That is why we have developed an app in Sindhi

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
