The Role of Digital Platforms and Online User Interaction in Shaping Tourist Emotional Satisfaction

2026-01-23T07:49:02+00:00

Tourist experiences in the digital era are shaped not only by on-site physical interactions but are increasingly influenced by digital platforms, online reviews, and social media. Although the literature on digital tourism is growing rapidly, a gap remains in understanding how digital interactions holistically and integratively influence tourists' emotional satisfaction, particularly in coastal destinations. This study aims to examine the role of digital and information technology-based factors in shaping tourists' emotional satisfaction in coastal destinations by developing an integrated model that links the physical and social environments, digital experience quality, electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), digital destination image, and tourist engagement. Data were collected from 339 tourists who actively used digital platforms during their visits to a coastal destination in Indonesia. A mixed-method analytical approach was employed, combining Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test linear relationships and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to uncover complex configurational pathways leading to high emotional satisfaction. The findings indicate that digital experience quality and e-WOM significantly strengthen digital destination image, which in turn enhances tourist engagement and emotional satisfaction. Tourist engagement emerged as the strongest direct predictor of emotional satisfaction. The configurational analysis revealed multiple alternative pathways leading to high satisfaction, with digital destination image identified as a necessary condition across all configurations. This study offers theoretical contributions by integrating environmental psychology and digital tourism literature into a comprehensive model and by applying a mixed-method approach (SEM-fsQCA) capable of capturing causal complexity. Practically, the findings underscore the importance for destination managers to not only manage physical attractions but also to proactively build a strong digital destination image, encourage positive e-WOM, and create interactive and engaging digital experiences to enhance tourists' emotional satisfaction.

Lightweight YOLO Models for Robust Facial Expression Detection

2026-03-31T05:47:45+00:00

Facial expression recognition is a fundamental component of artificial intelligence systems, particularly in human–machine interaction. However, achieving robust detection accuracy remains challenging due to variations in lighting, facial orientation, and limited training data diversity. While recent lightweight YOLO architectures—YOLOv8n, YOLOv10n, and YOLO11n—have demonstrated strong performance in general object detection, comparative studies evaluating these models specifically for facial expression detection remain limited. This study addresses this gap by systematically comparing these three nano-variant models on a dataset of 2,000 labeled facial images across four expression categories: flat face, angry, sad, and smile. The dataset was divided into training (70%), validation (20%), and test (10%) subsets. Experiments were conducted under two scenarios—with and without data augmentation—using identical training configurations. Augmentation techniques included mosaic composition, HSV variation, geometric transformations, and flipping. Results show that augmentation improved the F1 score of YOLOv10n from 0.68 to 0.72 and YOLO11n from 0.65 to 0.72, with the latter achieving the highest overall precision of 0.82. YOLOv8n exhibited stable performance with an F1 score of 0.75 under both conditions. Confidence threshold optimization revealed distinct optimal operating points for each model, ranging from 0.1 to 0.6, confirming that per-model threshold tuning is necessary to maximize detection performance. These findings provide practical guidance for selecting and configuring lightweight YOLO models for facial expression detection in resource-constrained environments.

Blockchain Technology in Donation-Based Crowdfunding Systems

2025-09-02T08:26:51+00:00

This study successfully designed and developed a blockchain-based crowdfunding system using Base, implementing secure authentication through wallet addresses as the primary user identity. The system supports key features such as campaign creation, donation, and fund withdrawal. Campaign creation allows users to set fundraising targets and deadlines, donations are recorded directly on the blockchain to ensure transparency, and fund withdrawals can only be performed by the campaign owner once specific conditions are met. The implementation of smart contracts played a vital role in ensuring that all transactions were transparent, secure, and accountable. Furthermore, the system effectively eliminated the need for intermediaries, as typically seen in conventional platforms, by replacing the role of fund custodians with smart contracts. As a result, it no longer required high administrative fees, instead relying on a fixed and significantly lower gas fee. This approach enhanced public trust, reduced operational costs, and strengthened accountability in the management of donations through a decentralized and tamper-resistant system.

Comparative Performance of Indonesian Stemming: PL/SQL Implementation of Nazief and Adriani Algorithm versus Sastrawi Library

2026-02-23T06:09:35+00:00

Text preprocessing in Indonesian applications commonly relied on external libraries such as Sastrawi. However, performing this task outside the database layer often introduced significant latency due to data communication overhead between the application and the server. This study proposed and evaluated a native stemming mechanism utilizing the Nazief and Adriani algorithm implemented directly within an Oracle PL/SQL environment. The primary objective was to determine whether in-database processing could offer better performance than the standard application-layer approach. The assessment compared the PL/SQL implementation against the Python-based Sastrawi library using a comprehensive dataset of 54,715 words sourced from the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). Performance metrics focused on stemming accuracy and total execution time. The empirical results revealed that the proposed PL/SQL method achieved an accuracy of 96.82%, which proved slightly superior to the 96.58% accuracy obtained by Sastrawi. Furthermore, the stored procedure implementation demonstrated significant efficiency, completing the process in 602.22 seconds, whereas the baseline method required 1,259.28 seconds. It was concluded that migrating the stemming logic into the database layer effectively reduced execution time by approximately 52.18% while maintaining high precision. These findings suggested that native database implementation provided a more robust solution for systems requiring high-performance text processing.

Hyperparameter Tuning of YOLOv8n for Real-Time Material Truck Detection

2026-04-16T06:11:23+00:00

The increasing number of material trucks on arterial roads has posed challenges for traffic surveillance and regulatory compliance. Traditional monitoring techniques that rely on manual observation are often ineffective and susceptible to irregularities, highlighting the need for automated real-time monitoring systems. This study proposes a lightweight object detection approach using YOLOv8n to improve real-time truck detection performance in traffic monitoring applications. A quantitative experimental methodology was employed by performing hyperparameter tuning through adjustments to the number of epochs, batch size, optimizer, and learning rate. The dataset was collected from real traffic environments using smartphone cameras and CCTV (TP-Link Tapo C320WS). A total of 36 experimental configurations were evaluated using Precision, Recall, F1-score, mAP@50, and mAP@50–95 metrics. Experimental results showed that the optimal configuration, consisting of 100 epochs, a batch size of 16, the Adam optimizer, and a learning rate of 0.001, achieved a mean Average Precision (mAP)@50 of 0.9302 and mAP@50–95 of 0.7226. Although the performance improvement over the baseline YOLOv8n model was relatively modest, repeated experiments demonstrated improved model stability and consistency after hyperparameter optimization. Real-time deployment on a local GPU achieved a stable processing speed of 14–23 Frames Per Second, with an average of 19 FPS, enabling real-time monitoring performance aligned with the camera input rate. The integrated system successfully combines object detection, tracking, and license plate recognition for practical traffic monitoring applications. However, smaller objects such as license plates remained more challenging to detect due to localization limitations under occlusion and low-light conditions.
