Abstract

Poverty is one of the crucial social problems in rural areas. The problem of poverty in rural areas is increasingly in the spotlight because of its broad impact on the community's economic and social sustainability. The varying levels of poverty require an appropriate analytical approach to design effective intervention programs. In an effort to understand and address this problem, this study uses the K-Means Clustering method to group the poor population. We use K-Means clustering to identify and group hamlets based on their poverty levels. This study aims to categorize the hamlets in Bandar Kumbul Village into multiple clusters according to their poverty levels, thereby identifying which hamlets necessitate more focused attention. The research methods used include collecting data on the number of poor people from 2013 to 2022 in each hamlet, data preprocessing, applying the Elbow method to determine the optimal number of clusters, and applying the K-Means Clustering algorithm to group the hamlets. The results of the study show that there are three main clusters with different characteristics. Cluster 0 includes Hutaimbaru and Mailil Julu hamlets with high poverty levels. Cluster 1 only includes the Pasir Sidimpuan hamlet, which has medium poverty levels. Cluster 2 includes Aek Mardomu, Bandar Kumbul, Mailil Jae, Sidodadi, and Singga Mata hamlets with low poverty levels. Variations in distance from the cluster center indicate significant differences in the distribution of poverty in each hamlet. The K-Means Clustering method is effective in identifying and grouping hamlets based on poverty levels, providing useful insights for the government and stakeholders to design more targeted intervention programs. Clusters with high poverty levels require immediate intervention, while clusters with medium and low poverty levels require maintenance and support to prevent an increase in poverty. This study provides a strong foundation for decision-making and policies to reduce poverty levels in Bandar Kumbul Village more effectively and sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of rhizobacteria in stimulating plant growth and acting as a biofertilizer that can enhance the viability and vigor of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seeds. The research was conducted at the Agronomy Unit Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University, from September to October 2024. The study was designed based on a randomized block design (RBD), consisting of 11 test isolates and 1 control. These isolates were tested for their effectiveness in improving the viability and vigor of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The test was carried out by soaking seeds in a rhizobacteria suspension, then germinating the seeds using a standard germination procedure. The observed variables included germination capacity, vigor index, seed uniformity, relative growth rate, and T50. The results showed that seed treatment with rhizobacteria significantly increased the viability and vigor of rice seeds (Oryza sativa L.), as seen in the variables of germination capacity, vigor index, T50, and relative growth rate. From this study, 2 isolates were selected that have the potential as growth promoters for rice seeds, namely DMW 4 and DSS 3. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness of these isolates in improving the growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under field conditions.

Abstract

Student graduation is an important indicator of the quality of education at a higher education institution. A high graduation rate not only indicates success in the learning process but also has a positive impact on the reputation of the institution. Conversely, a low graduation rate can be a signal of problems that require special attention. Various factors, both academic and non-academic, influence higher education institutions in ensuring timely student graduation. Therefore, we need a method that can accurately predict student graduation to carry out early intervention. This study aims to apply the support vector machine method in predicting student graduation. We chose this method due to its capacity to classify complex data. We use historical student data, such as Semester Achievement Index scores, as input variables to build a prediction model. We evaluate the model using precision, recall, and f1-score metrics. According to the study's findings, the support vector machine model's accuracy level is 71.20%. This method is good at predicting students who graduate with a precision of 95%, recall of 72%, and f1-score of 82%. However, the model's performance in predicting students who failed was less than satisfactory, with a precision of only 17%, a recall of 62%, and an f1-score of 26%. The imbalance in data between passed and failed students contributed to this result. The Support Vector Machine method effectively predicts student graduation for the majority class (passed), but requires special handling of the data imbalance to enhance the accuracy of predictions for the minority class (failed). Universities expect to use the results of this study to carry out early intervention and increase student graduation rates.

Abstract

Given its increasing popularity, public interest in buying espresso coffee is an important concern for coffee industry players. To understand and predict this buying interest, the use of classification algorithms in data analysis is crucial. This study was conducted to compare the performance of two popular classification algorithms, namely Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes, in analyzing public interest in buying espresso coffee. This research problem is based on the need for an accurate predictive model in the coffee industry to aid in strategic decision-making related to marketing and sales. The proposed solution is to implement two different classification algorithms and assess their performance using a variety of performance evaluation metrics. The purpose of this study is to determine which algorithm is superior in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. The research method entails collecting data on public interest in purchasing espresso coffee, preprocessing data, implementing both algorithms, and evaluating each algorithm's performance. The results show that Naïve Bayes consistently outperforms Support Vector Machine in all performance evaluation metrics. Naïve Bayes achieved 94.00% accuracy, 91.40% precision, 100% recall, and 95.51% F1-Score, compared to Support Vector Machine, which achieved 90.00% accuracy, 88.60% precision, 96.90% recall, and 92.56% F1-Score. The conclusion of this study is that the Naïve Bayes classifier is more effective and efficient in predicting people's purchasing interest in espresso coffee compared to support vector machines. This advantage can be attributed to the ability of Naïve Bayes to handle data that may have non-normal distributions or independent variables.

Abstract

Motivating workers through the use of rewards and punishments, the management control system places an emphasis on output. Any decent employee will follow the rules set out by their employer and will push for their coworkers to do the same. Finding out whether company rewards and punishments have an effect on employee performance in a State-Owned Enterprise is the main objective of this study. Quantitative studies employ non-probability purposive sampling and associative causality studies. With the aid of SmartPLS, descriptive statistics were applied to 100 questionnaires. All of the study's variables were found to have a positive and statistically significant effect. With a t-statistic value of 4.218, employees believe that the company's performance reviews can positively affect their pay, benefits, and advancement opportunities. The company's punisment motivate employees to perform well in order to avoid pay cuts and promotion delays (t-statistic value 4.861). When workers' expectations regarding company assessments and reward are satisfied, their performance improves (t-statistic value 3.900). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that, with proper implementation of evaluation and sanctions, staff performance will improve. While punishments are the most powerful incentive for improving performance, this study's original finding is that positive reinforcement in the form of awards can inspire loyalty and good conduct.
