Abstract

Selecting outstanding students is essential in fostering appreciation and motivation within the school environment. Nevertheless, many educational institutions continue to use manual assessment methods, which are often subjective and inefficient. This research focuses on the development of a web-based decision support system designed to assist in the selection process at a in Indonesia. The system integrates the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) technique to generate student rankings based on preference scores, while the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method is applied to assign weight values to the evaluation criteria, including academic performance, attendance, behavior, and extracurricular involvement. Data for this study were collected through interviews, direct observation, and student records. The application was developed using PHP for the backend, MySQL for database handling, and Bootstrap for the user interface design. The system’s functionality was verified using black box testing, which confirmed that all features operated correctly. Additionally, the system was evaluated against the manual selection process conducted by the school, and the results showed an accuracy level of 80% in matching student rankings. This system proves to be a practical and structured solution for enhancing the transparency and objectivity of student achievement evaluations.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze and predict corn sales at UD Muara Kasih to improve production planning accuracy. The study used historical corn sales data collected over a specific period, covering 42 data entries from January 2021 to December 2024. The dataset included variables such as sales date, quantity sold, selling price per ton, total sales value, weather conditions, market demand (in tons), and the number of laborers. Prior to model training, the data underwent comprehensive preprocessing involving data cleaning, feature extraction, and normalization to ensure its quality and readiness for analysis. Two predictive models were applied: Linear Regression and Support Vector Machine (SVM) with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel. Simulation data for 2024 and 2025 were generated based on the monthly averages derived from the historical dataset. The results showed that the Linear Regression model produced more stable predictions with a lower Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 255.84 compared to the SVM model’s RMSE of 256.42. While the SVM model showed greater responsiveness to seasonal variations, the Linear Regression model was identified as the most suitable for the given dataset. The predictive models developed in this study are expected to support UD Muara Kasih in making more accurate and informed production decisions in the future.

Abstract

Efficient water management is crucial for ensuring sustainable resource utilization and reducing water losses in both industrial and domestic applications. This study presents the design and implementation of a smart water monitoring system based on an ultrasonic flow meter, which enables accurate, real-time measurement of water flow without physical contact with the medium. The proposed system integrates ultrasonic sensors with a microcontroller-based data acquisition unit and wireless communication to transmit flow rate, volume, and consumption data to a cloud-based monitoring platform. The system was tested in various flow conditions to evaluate accuracy, stability, and energy efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that the ultrasonic flow meter achieved a measurement accuracy of ±1% compared to a reference turbine flow meter, while maintaining minimal power consumption. Furthermore, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities allows remote monitoring, anomaly detection, and data logging for long-term analysis. The results indicate that this ultrasonic-based monitoring system provides a reliable and non-invasive solution for smart water management, offering potential applications in household metering, agricultural irrigation, and industrial fluid monitoring.

Abstract

Residential crime continues to be a significant concern, and traditional security systems relying oHousing is an area vulnerable to crime, especially if it is not supported by an adequate security system. Many housing complexes still rely on conventional security systems that only involve officers without technological support. Therefore, the application of technology, especially the Internet of Things (IoT), is needed to improve housing security systems. The success of a system is largely determined by the level of user acceptance, which can be measured using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study aims to measure user acceptance of an IoT-based housing security system using the TAM model. Data were obtained from 100 respondents and analyzed using the PLS-SEM method to test the research hypotheses. The results showed that four hypotheses had a significant relationship, namely the relationship between Subjective Norm (SN) and Perceived Usefulness (POU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) and POU, PEU and Attitude Toward Use (ATU), and POU and Behavioral Intention (BEI). Meanwhile, the other four hypotheses did not show a significant relationship.n manual monitoring are often insufficient in addressing modern security challenges. With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, digital security solutions offer new opportunities for improving surveillance and access control within housing environments. This study aims to assess user acceptance of an IoT-based residential security application by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A quantitative survey method was used, involving 100 respondents who evaluated the prototype after testing it directly. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that Perceived Ease of Use significantly affects both Perceived Usefulness and Attitude Toward Using, while Perceived Usefulness strongly influences Behavioral Intention. However, Attitude Toward Using shows a marginal impact on Behavioral Intention, and Behavioral Intention does not significantly predict Actual Use. These findings reveal the dominant factors influencing acceptance and highlight areas for improvement in IoT-based security applications.

Abstract

The rapid acceleration of digital transition has become an inevitable reality of the modern era. The proliferation of online communication platforms, news portals, and heterogeneous data formats has substantially increased big data volumes, leading to large-scale collections of unstructured data. This study aims to analyze dominant public policy–related topics concerning the Prabowo–Gibran administration by applying topic modeling techniques to national online news media. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) were employed as unsupervised learning approaches to extract latent semantic structure from a corpus of 200 credible news articles collected through URL fetching using Python 3. Data preprocessing included text cleaning, tokenization, bigram and trigram construction, and the development of a dictionary and corpus. Model performance was evaluated using topic coherence metrics, yielding scores of 0.3709 for LDA and 0.68 for NMF. To examine temporal dynamics, the dataset was divided based on the official inauguration date of the president and vice president, enabling a comparative analysis of dominant topics before and after the inauguration. Topic similarity across both periods was measured using cosine similarity, with the highest similarity score of 0.663 observed between Topic 4 in the pre-inauguration period and Topic 1 in the post-inauguration period. The findings provide insights into evolving media discourse and policy-related topic trends across the two periods, demonstrating the potentials of topic modeling in analyzing large-scale unstructured news data for diverse purposes to bridge computational science and empirical evidence of social science.
