Abstract

Penjadwalan mata pelajaran secara optimal sangat penting untuk memastikan kelancaran kegiatan belajar dan mengajar. Di SMA Negeri 1 Tilango, penjadwalan yang dilakukan secara manual oleh pihak kurikulum cenderung memakan waktu yang cukup lama, sehingga sering terjadi bentrok antar mata pelajaran pada waktu yang bersamaan. Proses penjadwalan manual ini cukup sulit karena harus memenuhi semua aturan dan kebijakan sekolah yang berlaku. Untuk mengatasi tantangan tersebut, digunakan metode integer linear programming (ILP) yang dapat membantu menyusun jadwal mata pelajaran secara lebih efisien dan terstruktur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan jadwal mata pelajaran yang ideal dengan meminimalkan total bobot pelajaran, hari, dan waktu menggunakan metode ILP. Penyusunan jadwal diselesaikan dengan bantuan software Lingo 18.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jadwal yang dihasilkan dengan metode ILP lebih optimal dibandingkan dengan penjadwalan manual, karena mampu memenuhi semua batasan dan kendala yang telah ditentukan oleh sekolah..

Abstract

Stunting is one of the serious problems that threaten the quality of human resources in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the patterns and characteristics of stunting in Indonesia by applying the X-Means clustering method and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC). The X-Means method is used to determine the optimal number of clusters automatically by utilizing the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), while AHC forms a dendrogram to understand the multilevel structure of the clusters formed. Based on the analysis, the X-Means method produces three optimal clusters with the smallest BIC value of 651.9475, where cluster 1 consists of 17 provinces, cluster 2 includes 12 provinces, and cluster 3 includes 5 provinces. The AHC method with the Single Linkage approach also produced three optimal clusters, with cluster 1 covering 32 provinces, cluster 2 consisting of 1 province (West Nusa Tenggara), and cluster 3 covering 1 province (East Nusa Tenggara), as well as the highest Silhouette Index value of 0.28. The results show that both methods provide a comprehensive picture of stunting patterns in Indonesia, which can be used as a basis for designing more targeted intervention programs according to the characteristics of each cluster. This data-driven strategy is expected to increase policy effectiveness in reducing stunting in Indonesia.

Abstract

Kajian ini mengevaluasi angka kemiskinan di Indonesia yang masih tinggi dengan fokus pada Provinsi Gorontalo yang menjadi urutan kelima sebagai provinsi termiskin di Indoneisa. Meskipun angka kemiskinan ekstrem nasional menurun menjadi 1,12% pada Maret 2023, Gorontalo mencatat masih 183,71 ribu penduduk miskin dengan garis kemiskinan per kapita sebesar Rp 442.194. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk membandingkan dua teknik peramalan, yaitu Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS) dan Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) untuk menilai efektivitas masing-masing metode dalam memprediksi angka kemiskinan di Provinsi Gorontalo. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa model Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) memiliki Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) sebesar 6,6%, lebih rendah dibandingkan MAPE Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS) yang mencapai 7,39%. MAPE yang lebih rendah pada Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) menunjukkan kemampuannya yang lebih baik dalam mengidentifikasi pola data dan menghasilkan perkiraan yang lebih akurat. Meskipun BSTS mampu menangkap komponen musiman dan Trend dengan teknik probabilistik yang canggih, hasil ini menegaskan bahwa Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) adalah metode yang lebih efektif untuk memprediksi angka kemiskinan di Provinsi Gorontalo.

Edge coloring of a graph is considered rainbow connected if the graph is connected and a rainbow path exists for every pair of points. The rainbow connection number of a graph, denoted as , represents the smallest number of colors required to make the graph is rainbow connected. This study examines the rainbow connection number of the middle graph of a caterpillar graph. The middle graph is a modified result of a graph , denoted as . It is described as a graph constructed from the intersection of a set of points and edges. The set of points in the middle graph consists of the combination of points and edges of the graph . Two points are considered adjacent if only they are connected in , or if one point corresponds to a point and the other corresponds to an edge adjacent to it. A caterpillar graph denoted by is a tree that will be a path if all the leaf points are deleted. The results of this research show the rainbow-connected number theorem for the middle graph of the caterpillar graph for .

Abstract

This review aims to determine the learning difficulties experienced by class VIII students of SMP Negeri 2 Kwandang in understanding Groups and Mathematical Series which are estimated by signs of student learning difficulties. The strategy used is enlightening. The sampling procedure uses direct irregular examination, and the strategy for collecting information is to provide a trial of learning outcomes as an explanation that alludes to 3 signs of learning difficulties, namely calculated difficulty, guideline difficulty and functional challenge. The results showed that the level of students' learning difficulties was in the middle class. Many students were able to complete the narrative according to signs of learning difficulties. Students who have difficulty dealing with word problems due to a lack of understanding of the material and how to solve it. The lack of ability to answer questions and practice the material assisted requires techniques and systems to limit the difficulties experienced by students.

Abstract

Various limitations such as teacher availability, classroom space, lesson time, and subject load. At MTs. Nurul Islam Bumiharjo, the schedule preparation process is still done manually, which often causes schedule conflicts and suboptimal use of resources. This study aims to optimize the preparation of lesson schedules by applying the Integer Linear Programming (ILP) method, one of the techniques in operations research that is able to handle scheduling problems with many constraints. The ILP model is designed to minimize overlapping teacher and room schedules, and to ensure the distribution of lesson hours according to curriculum standards. The primary data used is the 2024/2025 school year lesson schedule. The results of the study show that the ILP model is able to produce a more efficient and less conflicting schedule solution than the manual method. Thus, this approach can be a strategic alternative in a data-based school scheduling system.

Abstract

This study aims to optimize the production of Pia Cendana enterprise using a linear programming model based on the Branch and Bound method. In order to achieve maximum profit, a mathematical formulation is constructed, including an objective function and constraint functions based on data regarding raw material composition, resource availability, production costs, and selling prices of each product variant. The Branch and Bound method was applied to obtain an optimal solution in the form of integers that are operationally valid. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of changes in coefficients within the objective function and constraints on the optimal solution. The findings show that the Pia Cendana enterprise can achieve an optimal profit of IDR 1,620,000 or 1.86 % per month. This amount is higher than the previous actual profit of only IDR 86,888,000, indicating a profit increase of IDR 88,508,000. The study indicates that this method improves resource efficiency and yields more profitable production. The optimal solution demonstrates that production can be increased while still considering capacity and raw material limitations. The sensitivity analysis also proves that the model is sufficiently stable against parameter variations. This study provides practical contributions to Pia Cendana enterprise in formulating more efficient and profitable production strategies.
