This paper presents the development of Android-based framework for improving marital satisfaction. Classic research in psychology found that stability of marriage is based on the ability to create and maintain a positive interaction ratio five times more than negative interactions. Based on that, we present Counselove, a mobile application intended to record information of daily positive behaviors (joking, showing affection) of couples who use the application. We propose a method where the apps can determine users’ marital satisfaction level and also can help users increasing their marital satisfaction based on the relationship satisfaction questionnaire and the assessment of user’s self reported behaviors to their partners using fuzzy logic. The experimental results shown the application is running well on mobile devices based on Android platform. Lastly, we provide result of in depth interview with two users. Further research and development of the Counselove apps are discussed.

Work/life balance and smartphones: Can a smartphone make a difference?Bhitesh Arora
Smartphone usage amongst the general public has risen dramatically only in the last 2 to 5 years. With the introduction of the smartphone, users have found many benefits, such as access to apps for news, public service information, entertainment, and constant access to their email, social networking sites, and the internet. This project aims to examine the effect this has had on working people and their ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
The project presents a brief history of the development of the smartphone and its subsequent integration into workers' everyday lives. It also presents some theories on what constitutes a healthy work-life balance alongside some research into existing literature to determine whether people feel their smartphones have enhanced or presented challenges in their ability to achieve this.
The project asserts that the smartphone has afforded both individuals and organizations great opportunities to improve performance and service in their workplace environments.
However, both organizations and some individuals have yet to establish acceptable boundaries concerning the use of smartphones for work-based activities outside of legal working hours.
At last, we’ll get to know whether smartphones can help in maintaining the balance between work and life.

A Development of Android-based Mobile Application for Getting Ideal WeightTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The development of this application has a goal to give people who don’t have any idea of how to
keep an ideal body weight and to maintain it by having controlled food intakes and exercises. This
application is designed by using a Waterfall Model, a 5-phase model that is Communication, Planning,
Modeling, Construction, and Deployment starting from as the aforementioned steps. Based on the
responds we get from distributing questionnaire, many people didn’t know how to exercise properly and
didn’t bother to check the calories of their food. Their weight is also a problem because most of them still
have an Overweight or Underweight status. From those responds, we can conclude that our application
will indeed help people to get and maintain their ideal body weight.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

The goal of this app was to support operators in locating clubs of their choice at an affordable price (Song and Oh, 2016). Indeed, this app improves users’ ability to make sound clubbing decisions; thus, supporting ecological and legal considerations of this app.
The underlying hypothesis in the software development; the After Life App largely stimulates mental and physical impact on customers’ lives. Mainly, using this software client’s lifestyle is changed where they can only visit clubs which the app indicates (Pakroo, 2016). To a greater extent, when designing this App, the developers considered the software ability to enable long-lasting positive behaviours. The software plays a significant role in promoting user’s capability to locate secure clubbing sites which also offers high-quality services.
The other approach used in the design and development of this software is Tuckman principles. This model of software development ensured that the After Life software is beautiful to operate and it is entrenched on reminding customers about their best clubbing joints. In the quest to influence clients’ daily life, the team of developers remained focused since they had undergone Tuckman first and second stages, forming and storming where compatible individuals were selected. Notably, this approach argues that software developers need to solve or norm their differences to be able to come up with an app.

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future

Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

unemployed women in 2013, compare to 2009 in Indonesia [9] resulting in more dual career marriage. This
implied they have little time to spend together, let alone going to marriage enrichment program. On the other
hand, 40% young people age 25-34 years old, including husband and wife use android smartphone [10].
Therefore, there are opportunities to use smartphone apps to help build marital satisfaction.
Mobile application has been used to promote behavioral healthcare [11], integrated with clinical
practice [12] and also promote wellbeing [13]. According to ABI research, 9 billion apps were downloaded
worldwide to mobile phone in 2010. In 2011, there were roughly 17,000 health-related applications for
iPhones, Android based devices, and other mobile phones and tablets. [12] According to Statista.com, as of
May 2014, there are 33,900 apps worldwide dedicated to health and fitness for the Android operating system.
[14] This showed that the digital health industry has grown significantly. According to unified theory of
acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), one of the consumer technology use is to facilitated condition,
refer to consumer’s perceptions of the resources and support available to perform a behavior [15]. There are
several mobile apps that provide information, activities and support to enhance romantic relationship [16].
These applications has features to promote communication [17], sharing moments, enhancing intimacy, even
filling couple’s “love tank” in a fun way [18]. Some of this application is developed by well experienced
marital counselor such as John Gottman [18]. Table 1 describes several apps that aim to promote romantic
relationship.

Those applications emphasizing private communication, and content sharing. None of them include
psychological assessment of marital satisfaction. Also, none of them specifically use research finding form
Gottman and Levenson [20]. Classic research from Gottman and Levenson [20] found that stability of the
marriage is based on the ability to create and maintain a positive interaction ratio 5 times more than negative
interactions. Furthermore, Gottman and Driver [21] found that the couple could feel the satisfaction of their
marriage in simple way, which is through some moments/things that generally considered as unimportant,
such as joking and showing affection. These simple moments are very important for the healthy and stability
of marital relationship. It can strengthen the intimacy of couple and become a strong foundation in marriage.
By having a strong foundation, then the couple can be more prudent in dealing with problems.Based on that,
we interested to develop the system to increase marriage satisfactions based on positive interactions from
couples.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
2.1. Architecture of System
Android is an open source and Linux-based Operating System for mobile devices such as smart
phones and tablet computers. Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and
other companies. Android offers a unified approach to application development for mobile devices which
means developers need only develop for Android, and their applications should be able to run on different
devices powered by Android. Android operating system is a stack of software components which is roughly
divided into five sections and four main layers as shown below in the architecture diagram [22]. Figure 1
ahows android architecture diagram.
3. ISSN: 2088-8708
IJECE Vol. 7, No. 1, February 2017 : 542 – 550
544
Figure 1. Android architecture diagram
At the bottom of the layers is Linux - Linux 2.6 with approximately 115 patches. This provides
basic system functionality like process management, memory management, device management like camera,
keypad, display etc. This system provides a survey for user to obtain their level of marriage satisfaction. Then
the system explains the user about their marriage condition, also provides some advices and motivations to
the user. If user agree to continue using this system, then the system gives them some tasks, articles in order
to increasing their marriage satisfaction. In addition, the system ask user to fill their interaction with their
partner everyday in order to recognize how well their marriage interaction. In few days, the system will
provide a survey again to compare their first score and their new score in order to recognize that their level of
marriage satisfaction is increasing, decreasing, or not changing. Data of user in securely save to web service
using PHP and MySql. We develop an interactive application based on Java Platform [23-24]. Figure 2 below
is a communication model based on web services that shows architecture of our application for marriage
satisfaction.We design a user interface where user can make activities in this system such as Take the Survey,
Fill Activity, Add New Activity., Complete the Task, Read the Article and Turn on/off the Sound.
We design a use case diagram based on Whitten [25]. Figure below is a use case diagram from ourapplication
called Counselove that consists of Take the survey, Fill Activity, Add New Activity, Complete the Task,
Read the Article and Turn on /off the Sound as shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2. Usecase diagram of the Counselove systems
2.2. Design of Fuzzy Logic for the System
The fuzzy logic algorithm is an artificial intelligence algorithm that uses mathematical logic to solve
to by the data value inputs which are not precise in order to reach an accurate conclusion, and has been used

Counselove: Marital Counseling Android-Based Application to Promote Marital Satisfaction (Widodo B.)
545
widely for decision making such as [31]. A fuzzy logic approach is used to construct the marriage satisfaction
model. As describe in our previous paper [30]. we can measure how satisfied a couple in communication,
balance of roles, agreement, openness, intimacy, social intimacy in relationships, sexuality, financial,
spirituals shown in Figure 3 to 9, to make a measurement the quality of their marriage satisfaction:
Figure 3. Fuzzy Logic of Communication Figure 4. Fuzzy logic of Balance of Roles

Figure 9. Fuzzy logic of Financial
5. ISSN: 2088-8708
IJECE Vol. 7, No. 1, February 2017 : 542 – 550
546
Based on the fuzzy logic, we create 10 rules to determine how satisfied a couple with their marriage.
These are some examples of the rules:
If communication “very satisfied” and balance of roles“verysatisfied”andagreement “very satisfied” and
openness“very satisfied” and intimacy “very satisfied” and social intimacy in relationships “very
satisfied” and sexuality“verysatisfied”andfinancial “very satisfied” and spiritual“very satisfied” then
marriage satisfaction is “very satisfied”
If communication “quite satisfied” and balance of roles“quitesatisfied”andagreement “quite satisfied” and
openness“quite satisfied” and intimacy “quite satisfied” and social intimacy in relationships “quite
satisfied” and sexuality “quite satisfied”andfinancial “quite satisfied ”and spiritual“quite satisfied” then
marriage satisfaction is “quite satisfied”
If communication“unsatisfied” and balance of roles “unsatisfied” and agreement “unsatisfied” and
openness“unsatisfied” and intimacy “unsatisfied” and social intimacy in relationships“unsatisfied” and
sexuality “unsatisfied” and financial “unsatisfied” and spiritual “unsatisfied” then marriage satisfaction is
“unsatisfied”.
2.3. Getting the Level of Marriage Satisfaction
Based on Karney [2], marital satisfaction is an evaluation of the relationship depends on the good or
bad of adaptive processes in the couple, which is influenced by the enduring vulnerabilities and stressful
events as shown in Figure 10:
Figure 10. Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model of Marriage [2]
Based on concept in figure 10, our system provides user a survey in order to get their level of
marriage satisfaction. This survey is constructed for couples in Indonesia, especially urban area such as
Jakarta. It is constructed based on the dimensions of the three marital satisfaction measurement, namely
Dyadic Adjustment Scale [26], ENRICH marital satisfaction [4], and Marriage Satisfaction Questionnaire
[27]. Researchers make some adjustments to the conditions of young adults aged couples that live in urban
areas by interviewing four couples working in Jakarta. Interviews showed there were 9 dimensions in urban
couples marital satisfaction. The questionnaire consists of 38 questions, which are divided to 9
dimensions [28].
a. Communication (4 items)
b. Balance of Roles (6 items)
c. Agreement (4 items)
d. Openness (3 items)
e. Intimacy (4 items)
f. Social Intimacy in Relationships (4 items)
g. Sexuality (4 items)
h. Financial (4 items) and
i. Spiritual (5 items)
These dimensions are used to get where are the weaknesses and the strengths in the user’s
relationship with theirpartner. By knowing it, the system can give the appropriate advices and motivations to
user.There are 4 options to answer each question, which are “very satisfied” is 4 and “satisfied”, its value
6. IJECE ISSN: 2088-8708
Counselove: Marital Counseling Android-Based Application to Promote Marital Satisfaction (Widodo B.)
547
is 3; “dissatisfied” is 2 and “very dissatisfied”, its value is 1. Associated with given multiple choice answers
for each question, so it can be summed the max and min score for each dimension:
Table 2. Dimensions of marriage satisfaction
Dimension
The Number of
Questions
Min Score
Max
Score
Communication 4 4 16
Balance of Roles 6 6 24
Agreement 4 4 16
Openness 3 3 12
Intimacy 4 4 16
Social Intimacy in Relationships 4 4 16
Sexuality 4 4 16
Financial 4 4 16
Spiritual 5 5 20
Then each value is summed, so the system will knowing is the user satisfied with his/her marriage or
dissatisfied by total value from the survey. From the value, system will know, in which area the couple is
satisfied the most and which they are less satisfied.
2.4. Increasing Marriage Satisfaction
Gottman and Driver [21] found that couples can feel the satisfaction of the marriage relationship
through the simple expedient of the case / small moments that are generally not considered important, such as
a joke or show affection. Simple moments like this are very important to the health and stability of marital
relations. These moments can strengthen the intimacy couples, and became a strong foundation in a marriage
relationship. By having a strong foundation, it can be a better partner in the face of conflict.Therefore in this
system is provided “Fill Activity” module, which is used to input user’s activity (interaction) that they have
done with their partner. Then the system recognizes whether the interaction is negative or positive. After that,
the system calculates the ratio of the activities that user have filled. Is the ratio is 5 : 1 (positive : negative), or
lower, or higher. If the ratio is lower than 5 : 1, then the system will give a warning to user, and give some
tasks in order to increasing the ratio. The ratio 5 : 1 is equal to5/6 * 100% = 83.3%, so the IF-THEN RULES
are:
IF {(“positive activity” divided “total activity” times “100”) is less than “83.3”} THEN give the warning
Aside from the warning, the apps also provide task that can increase positive behavior. Those tasks
are simple task such as: smiling to your partner, tell a neutral joke to your partner, tell a happy experience to
your partner, respond to your partner’s story, say “thank you” and other simple daily activities.
3. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
Experiments of this system have been tested for getting level of marriage satisfaction of a person.
Based on the experiment, the system runs very well with the capability to calculate the total value in the
survey as shown in Figure 11. This application can be download at Google Play [29]. We also have
questioners to testing this application to young couples in Jakarta with about 100 respondents between 20-40
years old.

In the first stage, user registered by filling out one form consisting of name, gender, user age, the
age of the couple, marriage age, the age of children (if any), the last user education, occupation, and address.
Then on the next stage, contained user’s agreement and Terms and Conditions of the applications. The
administration web (www.counselove-pernikahan.com) shown in Figure 12 and 13.

Figure. 13. The questioner result from interface back-end
Through the interface back-end system, the results of the questionnaire will be validated and be
represented in a diagram. User will be given the results of the analysis level of marital satisfaction results, as
well as the advantages and lack of activities and tasks that can be performed by the user on a daily basis.After
testing phase, we invite two female respondents, age 22 and 24 who are marriage for 1-2 years with one
children age 1 and 2 years old to try Counselove. After that, we ask them about their experience in using
Counselove and whether they will use it daily. We also ask what positive and negative features from
Counselove are. Lastly, we asked for suggestions to make the apps more functional.Both interview
respondents think that the activity suggestions are useful as reference of daily activity with their spouse.
Therefore, they will use it daily and will recommend it to their husband. The downside of this apps is the
self-report mode, one of the respondent think that user can fake the daily activity in order to gain more score.
Respondents also thinks that they may have no time to input the daily activity because now they are busy
nurturing their toddler and doing household chores. One of the respondent suggest to add features regarding
child rearing and family activities that includes husband, wife, and their child.
4. CONCLUSION
We successfully develop Android-Based application for increasing marriage satisfaction in Bahasa
Indonesia for young married couple. This application can help users to determine the level of household
harmony in their way that is easy, interactive, and interesting. This application can provide motivation and
advice to the user in the life of the household. Based on the questioners, this application is really useful and
interesting. Although, based on description of other apps for couple, there are some features that can be add
to this apps. Those features are private messaging, shared content (photos, to do list, calendar), and content
related child rearing. Further research can explore the efficacy of this apps in terms of promoting marital
satisfaction in dual career couple who live in urban area, such as Jakarta, Indonesia by conducting
randomized control trial experiment.
