Penerapan Perkalian Matriks dan Invers dalam Algoritma Hill Cipher untuk Pengamanan Pesan Teks

Refelita Sari Banjarnahor — 2026-03-28

The rapid development of digital communication technology has increased the need for effective and reliable data security systems. One classical cryptographic method that remains relevant for study is the Hill Cipher, which utilizes linear algebra concepts such as matrix multiplication and matrix inversion in the encryption and decryption processes. This study aims to implement these operations in securing text messages and to evaluate their security level. The research method used is descriptive analytical through literature review and manual calculation simulations of the Hill Cipher algorithm. The results show that the encryption process is performed by multiplying a key matrix with a plaintext vector in modular arithmetic, while the decryption process uses the inverse of the key matrix (Siahaan & Siahaan, 2018; Sujarwo, 2024). This approach allows encryption to be performed in blocks, thereby increasing complexity and reducing easily analyzable patterns compared to classical substitution methods (Acharya et al., 2009). However, the Hill Cipher has a fundamental weakness: it is vulnerable to unknown-plaintext attacks because the key matrix can be reconstructed if enough plaintext-ciphertext pairs are available (Jain & Arya, 2022). Furthermore, successful decryption heavily depends on the existence of the matrix inverse in a given modulus. Therefore, although the Hill Cipher is no longer suitable for modern security systems, this algorithm remains valuable as a learning medium for understanding the application of matrix concepts and modular arithmetic in cryptography. The implication of this research is that integrating mathematical concepts into cryptography can enhance students' conceptual understanding of linear algebra applications in the field of information technology.

Siri’ Killing vis-à-vis Honor Killing: Menimbang Batas Universal dan Kekhasan Lokal Pembunuhan Demi Kehormatan

Zul Khaidir Kadir — 2026-04-08

The term honor killing has long been used in global scholarship to describe killings associated with the restoration of family or community honor. Although useful as a general category, the term does not always capture the full social meaning embedded in local experiences. This article examines the relationship between siri’ killing and honor killing by addressing two central questions: whether siri’ killing may be situated as a local form of honor killing, and to what extent it possesses conceptual features that are not fully covered by that global term. This study is a normative legal research employing conceptual and comparative approaches. The materials consist of primary legal sources, secondary legal materials, and relevant non-legal sources, all of which are analyzed qualitatively through library research. The study finds that siri’ killing may still be placed within the broader family of honor killing because both are grounded in the idea of family honor, the social spread of shame, and retaliatory violence understood as restoring dignity. At the same time, siri’ killing cannot be fully explained by the term honor killing because siri’ carries a more specific normative structure, particularly in relation to dignity, the distribution of shame, and the social responsibility to restore family reputation. This article argues that siri’ killing should be positioned as a local form that remains connected to honor killing while also correcting the overbreadth of that global concept. This distinction affects both criminological explanations of violence and criminal law’s effort to maintain a clear boundary between explaining social background and rejecting any justification for killing in the name of honor.

Farid Wajdy Sitorus — 2026-04-08

The rooftop of the University of Medan Construction building which has an area of 210 m2 can be used as a solar power plant (PLTS). Installing PLTS in buildings has several advantages, namely as a long-term energy investment and easy to integrate with the grid electrical system. PLTS is designed to save electricity consumption. In addition, if PLTS is connected to a battery, it can meet some of the energy needs at night. To design a PLTS installation in the Integrated Laboratory building, this research uses technical and economic analysis methods. Technical analysis is carried out to determine the capacity and number of PV mini-grid components required for installation. While the economic analysis aims to calculate the investment costs and the length of time for the return on investment compared to buildings without PV mini-grid installations. Based on this research, the results show that the amount of energy required for the Integrated Laboratory building is 482.148 kWh, while the planned PLTS is able to provide energy of 216,128 kWh. The PLTS design requires an initial investment of Rp. 927,700,894,-. So by using the Payback Period (PP) method, it can be concluded that the planned design is feasible, because the comparison of the cost of return on investment is 9.13 years faster than the project age that has been determined previously, which is 20 years.

Analisis Yuridis Terhadap Celah Hukum (Loophole) dalam Regulasi Penanaman Modal di Indonesia

Muhammad Andy Prananto — 2026-04-16

This research aims to identify the forms, characteristics, and legal implications of legal loopholes in Indonesia's investment regulations following the enactment of the Job Creation Law. The research method employed is normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results indicate that loopholes arise from norm ambiguity, the use of overly general phrasing, and inconsistencies between laws and sectoral implementing regulations. Practices such as nominee agreements and corporate structural engineering serve as tools for business actors to substantively exceed foreign capital limits, even while appearing formally compliant. The existence of these loopholes results in weakened legal certainty and ineffective economic oversight. Therefore, systematic regulatory synchronization between the Investment Law, BKPM regulations, and the risk-based OSS system is required to close these gaps and achieve legal certainty, efficiency, and protection.

Rancang Bangun Sistem Smart Greenhouse Berbasis IoT dengan Kendali Logika Fuzzy Menggunakan 4 Parameter Sensor

Chrisvan Simangunsong — 2026-04-21

The agricultural sector, particularly horticulture, faces significant challenges due to global climate change, causing unstable crop yields and quality. Traditional greenhouses in tropical regions often suffer from a heat trap effect, which induces plant stress if not properly managed. Current environmental control systems rely heavily on manual labor or simple on/off thresholds, leading to energy inefficiency and delayed responses. This study aims to design and simulate an internet of things (iot)-based smart greenhouse control system utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (flc) with the mamdani method. Unlike previous partial control studies, this research integrates four vital parameters simultaneously: air temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity. The hardware architecture incorporates an esp32 microcontroller, dht22 and dht11 sensors, a capacitive soil moisture sensor, an ldr module, and actuators including a dc fan, water pump, and led grow lights. Simulation results using proteus software demonstrate that the fuzzy logic algorithm successfully regulates actuator speeds via pulse width modulation (pwm) based on environmental transitions, effectively preventing component chattering. Furthermore, the system successfully transmits real-time microclimate data to the blynk platform for remote monitoring. This integrated approach offers a more precise, energy-efficient, and adaptive solution for optimizing horticultural microclimates.

Tinjauan Yuridis terhadap Tindak Pidana Pemalsuan Surat Keterangan Hak atas Tanah yang Sedang dalam Sengketa

Sulpaedi Alim — 2026-04-25

Pemalsuan surat keterangan hak atas tanah dalam konteks sengketa pertanahan merupakan fenomena yang tidak hanya mencerminkan pelanggaran hukum pidana, tetapi juga menunjukkan kelemahan struktural dalam sistem administrasi pertanahan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara kritis pengaturan hukum pidana terhadap pemalsuan surat tanah serta menilai konstruksi pertanggungjawaban pidana pelaku dalam praktik peradilan. Fokus utama diarahkan pada analisis penerapan Pasal 263 KUHP dalam kaitannya dengan sengketa tanah, dengan studi kasus Putusan Nomor 35/Pid.B/2025/PN Mnd.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Sumber data meliputi peraturan perundang-undangan, putusan pengadilan, serta doktrin hukum pidana dan agraria. Analisis dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan menekankan pada konsistensi norma dan praktik penegakan hukum.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Pasal 263 KUHP secara normatif cukup memadai untuk menjerat pelaku pemalsuan surat tanah, penerapannya dalam praktik masih menghadapi problem inkonsistensi. Aparat penegak hukum kerap mencampuradukkan ranah perdata dan pidana, sehingga pemalsuan surat dalam sengketa tanah sering direduksi menjadi sekadar konflik keperdataan. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya keliru secara doktrinal, tetapi juga berpotensi menciptakan impunitas bagi pelaku. Padahal, pemalsuan surat merupakan delik formil yang telah sempurna sejak perbuatan dilakukan, tanpa bergantung pada adanya kerugian nyata.Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa sengketa tanah justru memperkuat unsur kesengajaan (dolus) dan menunjukkan adanya itikad buruk (bad faith), sehingga layak dipertimbangkan sebagai faktor pemberat dalam pemidanaan. Kegagalan dalam memposisikan pemalsuan surat sebagai kejahatan terhadap kepercayaan publik berdampak pada terganggunya kepastian hukum dan legitimasi sistem pertanahan.Dengan demikian, diperlukan penegasan paradigma bahwa pemalsuan surat tanah adalah tindak pidana yang berdiri sendiri, disertai harmonisasi antara hukum pidana dan administrasi pertanahan guna mencegah reproduksi praktik mafia tanah secara sistemik.

Jesslyn Widya Salim — 2026-04-25

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that still has a high number of cases so it is still included in the global problem, this disease is caused by Treponema pallidum, in detecting syphilis the method that is widely used is the serological test as the main test in its detection, but because syphilis can spread quickly and easily undetected, a more accurate and sensitive method is needed. The method is a molecular method, namely Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), this method has high sensitivity and specificity so it can be used to detect syphilis. Indonesia is one of the countries that has a high rate of syphilis cases so the PCR method is needed to help in syphilis detection, but it should be noted that PCR is not cheap and easy so its spread and development in Indonesia must be considered by comparing it with existing data abroad or internationally. The method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) which is by collecting original research articles from various journal sources such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and other journal sources that have the keywords "Syphilis", "Treponema pallidum", and "PCR" and in the range of 2015 to 2026. The results obtained are 21 articles from abroad or internationally which show that the use of PCR in syphilis detection has been used in 2015, while Indonesia still uses many serological methods such as rapid and started using PCR in 2020 and above such as conventional PCR, multiplex PCR, and also nested PCR. Through the data obtained, it can be seen that the development and distribution of PCR methods for detecting syphilis in Indonesia is still not as sophisticated as abroad or internationally but has begun to increase and develop for the coming years.

Khoerunnisa Nidaul Khusna — 2026-04-27

The integration of science and religion from the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy is an effort to unite general knowledge and religious values into a unified whole. To date, the dichotomy between science and religion has often created inequalities in the education system, both conceptually and practically. Through an Islamic educational philosophy approach, this integration aims to shape individuals who are not only intellectually intelligent but also possess spiritual depth and noble morals. This concept emphasizes that all knowledge essentially originates from God and must be used for the benefit of humanity. Thus, Islamic education is expected to produce a generation that balances faith, knowledge, and good deeds in their daily lives.

Perancangan dan Implementasi Alat Pengusir Hama Burung Berbasis Sistem Audio Menggunakan DFPlayer Mini dan Amplifier PAM8403 pada Area Pertanian

Sujono Sujono — 2026-04-30

Bird pests are one of the main causes of reduced crop yields, particularly during the seed formation to ripening stages. Conventional bird deterrent methods, such as scarecrows, reflective tape, and manual monitoring, tend to lose their effectiveness because birds are able to adapt to static stimuli. This study aims to design and implement a low-cost audio-based bird deterrent device. The developed system uses the DFPlayer Mini as an audio player and the PAM8403 amplifier as a power amplifier to drive an external speaker, thereby covering a wider area. This system is controlled by a microcontroller that randomly controls sound playback, both in terms of timing and audio type, to reduce bird habituation. The DFPlayer Mini supports FAT16/FAT32 storage and audio file management, while the PAM8403 is a Class-D amplifier with an output power of up to approximately 3 watts. Testing included functional verification, sound pressure level (SPL) measurements, and power consumption estimates. The results showed that the system operates stably and is capable of producing sound with sufficient intensity to deter birds. The random playback pattern proved more effective than continuous playback. Thus, this device has the potential to be an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative solution for bird pest control.

ANALISIS YURIDIS PENYELESAIAN PERKARA TIDAK HADIR TANPA IZIN MELALUI HUKUM DISIPLIN MILITER

Wilbertus Wilbertus — 2026-04-30

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara yuridis penyelesaian perkara Tidak Hadir Tanpa Izin (THTI) melalui saluran hukum disiplin militer dalam Putusan Pengadilan Militer II-09 Bandung Nomor 130-K/PM.II-09/AD/IX/2022. Permasalahan utama terletak pada adanya ketegangan normatif antara kualifikasi perbuatan sebagai tindak pidana militer dengan mekanisme penyelesaiannya yang dialihkan ke hukum disiplin militer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan studi kasus, yang didukung oleh bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertimbangan hakim tidak menegasikan sifat pidana dari perbuatan THTI, melainkan menempatkan hukum pidana militer sebagai ultimum remedium. Hakim menggunakan diskresi yudisial secara terukur dengan mempertimbangkan aspek yuridis, sosiologis, dan filosofis, termasuk tingkat kesalahan, motif pelaku, serta kepentingan pembinaan prajurit. Pengalihan penyelesaian ke hukum disiplin militer bukan merupakan bentuk depenalisasi, tetapi merupakan pilihan mekanisme pertanggungjawaban yang lebih proporsional dalam kerangka sistem hukum militer yang bersifat komplementer.Implikasi penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan tersebut mampu memperkuat fungsi pembinaan dalam sistem militer tanpa mengabaikan prinsip legalitas dan kepastian hukum. Namun demikian, tanpa pedoman yang jelas, praktik ini berpotensi menimbulkan inkonsistensi dan multi-tafsir dalam penegakan hukum militer. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penguatan kerangka normatif dan pedoman yudisial untuk memastikan bahwa penggunaan hukum disiplin tetap berada dalam batas-batas yang terukur, transparan, dan akuntabel. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya keseimbangan antara kepastian hukum, keadilan substantif, dan kemanfaatan dalam penegakan hukum militer di Indonesia.

Ukti Virnolodi Hia — 2026-04-30

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation that causes pain, stiffness, and decreased functional ability, especially in the elderly. Pain management can be carried out through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. One of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be used is warm ginger compresses and warm water compresses. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of warm ginger compresses compared to warm water compresses in reducing rheumatoid arthritis pain among the elderly in Sampali Village.This study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental method through a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 47 elderly respondents selected using total sampling technique. The respondents were divided into two groups: the warm ginger compress group and the warm water compress group. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data analysis was performed using appropriate statistical tests based on data distribution to examine differences before and after the intervention. The results showed that both interventions were effective in reducing rheumatoid arthritis pain in the elderly. However, warm ginger compresses were found to be more effective than warm water compresses. This is influenced by the active compounds in ginger, such as gingerol, which have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, as well as providing relaxation through improved blood circulation. In conclusion, warm ginger compresses are more effective in reducing pain compared to warm water compresses. This therapy can be recommended as a simple, safe, and cost-effective non-pharmacological alternative for the elderly.
