Analysis of UAV-Photogrammetry for the Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Pavement Elevation in a Rural Road
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry has gained significant popularity across various industries due to its versatility in a wide range of applications. In the field of surveying, UAV photogrammetry offers a faster and more cost-effective solution compared to surveying conventional methods such as leveling instruments or total stations. In rural areas, the pavement of village access roads is vulnerable to deterioration, particularly in the form of settlement caused by repeated loads from transport vehicles. Therefore, monitoring pavement settlement is essential to ensure safety and facilitate timely maintenance planning. Mostly, pavement settlement measurements are conducted using conventional surveying methods. This study aims to explore the potential of UAV-photogrammetry in monitoring pavement elevation in rural areas and to assess its accuracy compared to conventional surveying methods. Aerial data acquisition was conducted in two separate epochs: Epoch I on December 18, 2024, and Epoch II on April 23, 2025. These multitemporal aerial surveys produced a series of overlapping aerial photos. Within the study area, point markers were installed as reference points for elevation measurements on the generated Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The elevation change from Epoch I to Epoch II ranged from 0.00 to 0.029 meters. However, this change cannot be directly interpreted as pavement deformation or settlement. This limitation arises because the root mean square error (RMSE) values of the elevation data obtained from UAV photogrammetry and total station measurements range from 0.048 to 0.098 meters.

Legal Analysis of the Position of Female Heirs in the Balinese Customary Inheritance System
This study aims to analyze the legal status of female heirs in the Balinese customary inheritance system, which is traditionally based on the patrilineal principle or kapurusa system, where lineage and inheritance rights are passed down through the male line. In this system, married women are considered part of the husband's family (pradana) and generally do not receive inheritance rights from their family of origin. However, social developments, increasing legal awareness, and the influence of national law have driven a paradigm shift in the position of women in customary inheritance. This study uses a normative legal approach supported by qualitative empirical data through literature studies, legal document analysis, and interviews with Balinese customary leaders and women. The results show that there is a duality of norms between Balinese customary law and national law that guarantees gender equality as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution and the CEDAW Convention. Although customary law still maintains the concept of purusa-pradana, practice in the field has begun to show a shift towards a more inclusive system through the recognition of partial inheritance rights for women. Legally, this change strengthens the principles of non-discrimination and substantive justice, while socially it shows the transformation of cultural values towards equality without eliminating Balinese traditional identity.

Wood Vinegar Applications: Quality, Efficacy, and Commercial Prospects for SMEs
Wood vinegar, scientifically defined as the condensation product of thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) of biomass rich in cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, presents a critical strategic step in efficient biomass waste management in Indonesia. Raw materials like coconut shells and palm oil waste are abundant, making their market potential highly promising. However, Indonesian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) predominantly produce Grade 3 wood vinegar, which contains high levels of carcinogenic tar, hindering access to premium food-grade and pharmaceutical markets. This review aims to present a comprehensive report on the scientific characteristics and quality classification of wood vinegar, specifically analyzing the mechanism of action, effectiveness, and potential use of Grade 3 as an anti-termite agent (termiticide) and wood preservative, alongside its other advanced applications, such as food preservation, agricultural biopesticide, and latex coagulant. The method employed is a literature review, synthesizing data on chemical composition, purification standards (SNI and BPOM), and experimental findings on its multi-functional properties. The main conclusion is that Grade 3 wood vinegar proves highly effective as a termiticide, providing total wood protection and offering a safe, sustainable alternative to chemical wood preservatives. For food applications, rigorous purification to Grade 1 is essential to replace harmful practices like using formalin or borax. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated analysis of the technical efficacy (Grade 3 in termiticide) and the regulatory/commercial trade-off with food safety requirements (Grade 1), culminating in strategic recommendations for developing downstream purification technology for Indonesian SMEs

The Impact of Environmental Uncertainty and Sense of Urgency on Individual Innovation in Bali's Renewable Energy Startups
This study investigates the impact of environmental uncertainty and sense of urgency on individual innovation in renewable energy startups in Bali. In dynamic and resource-constrained startup environments, the ability to innovate is critical for survival and competitiveness. A quantitative approach was employed, surveying 130 respondents from various renewable energy startups using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) to test hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that both environmental uncertainty (β = 0.342, p < 0.001) and sense of urgency (β = 0.540, p < 0.001) significantly influence individual innovation. Furthermore, sense of urgency partially mediates the effect of environmental uncertainty on innovation, highlighting its role as a psychological catalyst that translates external pressures into actionable innovative behaviors. The findings provide theoretical contributions by integrating contingency theory and self-determination theory, and offer practical implications for startup managers and policymakers seeking to foster innovation in uncertain renewable energy markets.
