Abstract

This community service initiative evaluates the impact of mobile applications, namely Haji Pintar–Satu Haji and Kawal Haji, in enhancing digital literacy and ritual understanding among pilgrims at KBIHU Ahmad Dahlan, Pringsewu. The program was implemented over a one-month period and involved participants engaging in mobile-based tutorials and mentoring activities designed to support comprehensive Hajj preparation. The learning materials focused on improving participants’ understanding of Hajj rituals while simultaneously strengthening their ability to use digital applications effectively. Survey results indicated that nearly all participants had access to Android smartphones, with 41.3% of respondents assessing their digital skills as “very good.” Among the available features, video tutorials were the most frequently accessed, accounting for 34.8% of usage, as they were perceived as clear and easy to understand. The majority of pilgrims reported improved comprehension of Hajj rituals after participating in the program. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges were identified, including infrequent application usage, accessibility limitations for some users, and participant requests for offline learning content. Overall, the findings demonstrate the significant potential of mobile applications to support Hajj preparation through religious education and digital engagement. The study recommends further development through more inclusive application design, offline accessibility, and sustained digital engagement strategies to enhance the effectiveness of community outreach programs in religious education.

Abstract

Access to learning the most common Quranic vocabulary remains a challenge, particularly for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community who face a significant lack of inclusive digital resources. Existing digital dictionaries often overlook this demographic, failing to provide crucial accessibility features such as sign language video translations. This research aims to bridge this accessibility gap by designing and developing a specialized, website-based digital dictionary focused on the most common Quranic terms. The primary contribution is an interactive and inclusive platform that integrates Arabic script, transliteration, and meaning with corresponding sign language video interpretations. The Agile Development methodology was employed, allowing for a flexible and iterative process to effectively address user feedback. This lifecycle involved key stages such as requirements planning, system modeling using UML and ERD, backend development with the Laravel framework, and functional validation via black-box testing. The testing phase demonstrated highly positive outcomes; functional validation via Black-Box testing confirmed that all system modules operated correctly according to specifications without any errors. Furthermore, the usability evaluation using the System Usability Scale (SUS) yielded an average score of 71, placing the platform in the "Good" category with an "Acceptable" level of usability.

Abstract

The Hajj pilgrimage takes place in a multilingual environment that requires adequate communication skills from pilgrims. Indonesian Hajj pilgrims, particularly middle-aged and elderly individuals, often face language barriers when interacting with service providers and local communities. This community service activity aimed to assess pilgrims’ digital readiness as a foundational step toward the use of technology-based communication support. Conducted in collaboration with KBIHU Ahmad Dahlan Pringsewu, Lampung, the activity involved socialization sessions, hands-on assistance, and questionnaire-based feedback from 46 Hajj pilgrims. The findings indicate that 97.8% of participants reported sufficient to excellent smartphone literacy, reflecting a strong baseline of digital readiness. Nevertheless, communication support remains an unmet need, as 69.6% of participants preferred offline-capable application features. These results suggest that mobile translation tools, such as Google Translate, have strong potential as practical communication aids during Hajj. A follow-up community service program focused on hands-on training in the use of mobile translation tools is therefore recommended.

Abstract

One of Indonesian micro financial services is Baitul Maal Wat Tamwil (BMT) provides services such as savings, financing and zakat activities. Financing service determine qualifying status based on consideration of customer files before carried out in company discussions. This decision support system aims to provide officers to decide whether or not to admit funding. The research used Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) by finding the prejudiced sum of the performance ratings for each alternative from all criteria. The method used 7 criteria including income, outstanding loans, amount of financing, collateral, nature/environment, track record of financing and monthly expenses. Customers were declared acceptable if they had a preference value above the minimum limit of 16.1. The BMT officer can adjust the minimum limit value according to customer performance. To develop the system used waterfall method and to verify system performance used a black box test which shows the results that the system works according to its function and the validity test results obtained 100% accurate. It means the system is ready and suitable for use. The existence of this decision support system is able to assist officers in making decisions to qualify for financing objectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the classification of acoustic patterns in female voice signals using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). Acoustic features derived from speech signals contain important spectral information that can be utilized to distinguish variations in voice characteristics. However, variability in speech signals and overlapping feature distributions present challenges for accurate classification. To address this issue, this study employs a structured approach comprising data preparation, MFCC feature extraction, and KNN classification. Each speech sample is represented as a 58-dimensional MFCC feature vector, and the dataset is split into testing and training subsets using a 20:80 ratio. The KNN model is trained using Euclidean distance and evaluated on precision, accuracy, recall, and F1-score. The results show that the proposed approach reaches an accuracy of 87.75%, indicating that MFCC features effectively capture acoustic characteristics in female voice signals. The confusion matrix analysis reveals that categories with distinct acoustic patterns, such as surprise and calm, achieve higher classification performance, whereas overlapping categories, such as happy and disgust, lead to increased misclassification. These findings demonstrate that KNN can serve as a reliable baseline method for acoustic pattern classification. However, further improvements can be achieved through enhanced feature representation and more advanced classification models.

Abstract

Speech emotion recognition (SER) has developed into a significant research topic in affective computing and human–computer interaction because emotional cues embedded in speech signals can enhance communication between humans and intelligent systems. However, accurately identifying emotional states from speech remains challenging due to dissimilarities in acoustic patterns, speaker features, and recording situations. This study investigates the effectiveness of Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) acoustic features for emotion recognition in male speech using a Random Forest classification model. The dataset used in this research consists of 35,910 male speech samples, each represented by a 58-dimensional MFCC feature vector extracted from emotional speech recordings. The speech samples are categorized into eight emotional classes: angry, fear, calm, disgust, neutral, happy, sad, and surprise. To develop and evaluate the model’s performance, the MFCC data were divided into 80% for training and 20% for testing. The Random Forest model was trained to learn emotional patterns embedded in MFCC features. The experimental findings reveal that the proposed approach achieved an overall classification accuracy of 84.33% with a macro-average F1-score of 0.856, indicating relatively stable performance across multiple emotional categories. Feature importance analysis further reveals that lower-order MFCC coefficients play a dominant role in emotion classification. These findings demonstrate that MFCC features combined with Random Forest classification provide an effective baseline approach for SER and offer valuable insights for future research involving more advanced machine learning models.
