User Interface and User Experience Design in Digital Learning Applications for Autistic Users with the Human-Centered Design Method

Currently in Indonesia there are millions of school-age children. Some of them still have difficulty in accessing education, including children with special needs. Children with special needs are part of a society that is classified as vulnerable. Some institutions state that they are 10 times more likely to be out of school. Even when they go to school, the learning they receive tends to be not optimal, especially for autistic children. Autism is a disorder of overall human development that results in barriers to socialization, communication, and behavior. With the various obstacles they have, the learning process they receive tends to be less than optimal if it is not balanced with adequate facilities and infrastructure. Therefore, in this study, researchers want to design a digital learning application for autistic users based on a website, where the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) of the learning application are tailored to the user's needs. By using the Human-Centered Design (HCD) method that focuses on humans in its manufacture. With these grounds and reasons, it is hoped that this research can produce a UI UX with a good level of usability, effectiveness, and user satisfaction

The Application of a Decision-making Approach based on Fuzzy ANP and TOPSIS for Selecting a Strategic Supplier

Supplier selection becomes very important when used in the context of strategic partnerships because of the long-term orientation of the relationship. This paper describes the application of a decision-making approach for selecting a strategic partner (supplier). The approach starts with defining a set of criteria that fits the company's condition. In the next steps, a combination of fuzzy-ANP and TOPSIS methods is used to determine the weight for each criterion and rank all the alternatives. The application of the approach in an Indonesian manufacturing company showed that the three factors that got the highest weight were "geographical location", "current operating performance", and "reliability". Geographical location got the highest weight because it affects many other factors such as reaction to changes in demand, after-sales service, and delivery lead-time.  Application of the approach helps decision-makers to gain effectiveness and efficiency in the decision-making process because it facilitates them to express their group's collective preferences  while also providing opportunities for members to express their individual preferences. Future research can be directed at combining qualitative and quantitative criteria to develop the best criteria and methods for the selection of the best suppliers based on fuzzy ANP and TOPSIS

The fitness of middle age to the elderly based on body mass index and age in the new normal era

Decrease in physical fitness occurs after the age of 30 years and factors that affect physical fitness include age, gender, BMI, waist circumference, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the physical fitness of middle-aged to elderly people between 45-74 years based on BMI and age. This research is a descriptive study with quantitative methods. The sample of this research is men who are active in badminton activities in Rejang Lebong Regency, which are classified as middle age to elderly people who are taken by purposive sampling. The data collection technique used the BMI test and fitness test. The results show that 1) The average BMI value in middle age to the elderly is 25.47 kg / m2, in the category of light fat. The average value of physical fitness in middle age to the elderly is 33.39, with a very poor category. 2) 26.3% of people have normal nutritional status, 50% of people have mild nutritional status and 23.7% of people have severe nutritional status. 3) 84.2% of people have very poor fitness category, 10.5% of people have poor physical fitness category and 5.3% of people have moderate physical fitness category. So it can be concluded that middle-aged to elderly people with high BMI have less physical fitness and the more middle-aged to elderly people have less physical fitness

Evaluasi USAbilitas Pada Aplikasi Program Simulasi Warna Batik

Saat ini penggunaan aplikasi berbasis komputer telah berbukti mampu mereduksi secara signifikan waktu yangdibutuhkan untuk merancang produk dibandingkan jika menggunakan metode konvensional. Hal ini cobaditerapkan pada industri batik oleh Rif'ah (2015) dengan mengembangkan Program Simulasi Warna Batik.Berdasarkan uji USAbility satisfaction yang telah dilakukan, aplikasi tersebut memiliki penerimaan oleh respondenrata-rata sebesar 3,87 dalam skala 1-5. Padahal menurut Nielsen (1993), suatu produk dikatakan memuaskan bilarata-rata nilainya 4 pada skala 1-5. Oleh karena itu aplikasi perangkat lunak ini masih perlu dikembangkan lebihlanjut. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Heuristic Evaluation, yang merupakan salah satu metodedalam kajian USAbilitas. Usabilitas adalah atribut kualitatif yang menentukan seberapa mudah user menggunakanantarmuka suatu aplikasi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, masalah USAbilitas pada Program SimulasiWarna Batik yang terutama (48%) adalah berkenaan dengan “Match with user's task” (kesesuaian antaraketersediaan pada sistem dengan cara umum yang digunakan sesuai dengan persepsi pengguna). Selain itu,berdasarkan perhitungan persentase jumlah masalah USAbilitas yang ditemukan, diperoleh kesimpulan bahwajumlah evaluator sebanyak 15 orang berdasarkan model Nielsen (1992) masih cukup representatif
