Abstract

This study aims to analyze the information sources used by new students in determining their college choices, identify the most dominant sources, and evaluate their effectiveness based on conversion rates from applicants to accepted students. Previous studies tend to examine the influence of individual channels such as social media, websites, or interpersonal factors separately, without integrating the dual dimensions of reach (awareness) and conversion (decision effectiveness). This limitation creates a gap in developing data-driven and strategically targeted higher education promotion models. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data from 4,028 applicants, of which 798 were accepted. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions, percentages, and conversion rate analysis across various information sources. The findings indicate a clear distinction between information sources that generate awareness and those that drive conversion. School promotions and guidance counselors dominate in terms of reach, while interpersonal sources (family and friends) and digital channels (WhatsApp, websites, and Instagram) demonstrate higher conversion effectiveness. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach that simultaneously evaluates reach and conversion across multiple information sources, offering a more comprehensive understanding of student decision-making. Practically, this study provides a data-driven foundation for designing integrated promotion strategies, where offline channels enhance awareness and digital as well as interpersonal channels optimize conversion outcomes.

Abstract

Elderly individuals (aged >60 years) commonly experience physiological changes that affect various organ functions. In addition to physiological decline, biological factors such as decreased immune function also make them highly susceptible to degenerative diseases. Among these, neuromuscular disorders such as paraesthesia (tingling sensation) are frequently encountered. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combining hand therapeutic exercise and hand ball exercise in reducing paraesthesia symptoms and improving functional activity in the wrist area of elderly individuals. This research used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study involved elderly participants from a senior daycare community in Semarang. The Paired Sample Test yielded a significant result with a p-value of <0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference before and after the intervention. The combination of hand therapeutic exercise and hand ball exercise effectively reduces the symptoms of paraesthesia and improves wrist functional activity in elderly individuals.
