Abstract

Fourier series has the ability to decompose a periodic function into a collection of sine and cosine wave sums. Another way to express a function into an infinite series is with the Maclaurin series or Taylor series but both of these series require that the function must have the first derivative, the second derivative and so on of the function is defined at its expansion point and there must be no discontinuity value at that point. However, the advantage of the Fourier series is that we can decompose the function into an infinite series containing the sum of sine and cosine terms even though the function cannot be differentiated and has discontinuity at some points. The Fourier series equation of an analytical function is obtained by first finding the values ​​of the Fourier coefficients using analytical integrals. In the case of functions formed from numerical data that are assumed to have a periodic pattern, the Fourier series formula that uses analytical integrals to find its Fourier coefficients can no longer be used so that the numerical approach using the Trapezium method is an alternative that allows us to find the Fourier series equation for a periodic function expressed numerically. We use 12 points as the basis for the calculation in the Trapezium method to approximate the Fourier series numerically. This paper presents a numerical approach to solve the problem.

Abstract

This study analyzes the voting behavior of Chinese people in the 2024 Presidential Election in Sei Rengas I Village. The main focus is to understand the socio-political dynamics of minority ethnic groups in the context of Indonesian democracy, especially related to political participation and the influence of cultural values in political decision-making. Using qualitative descriptive methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies of the local Chinese community. Based on the theory of voting behavior that includes sociological, psychological, and rational approaches, the results of the study show the dominance of a combination of sociological and rational approaches. Sociologically, voting behavior is strongly influenced by family and community factors. In the rational approach, economic factors are the main consideration, where voters make rational calculations regarding the candidate's ability to overcome economic challenges. Chinese voters show a tendency to be increasingly intelligent and selective in determining their choice of president, considering the economic programs offered. The study also reveals an increase in political awareness among the Chinese community which encourages more active participation in the democratic process, potentially creating a more inclusive political environment and contributing to the country's economic stability.

Abstract

Most universities manage parking for students and lecturers such as motorcycles and cars. But currently, there are many universities that still use manual methods, Mikroskil University is one of the private universities in Medan City which also still uses manual methods by checking the Vehicle Number Certificate by Mikroskil security officers. This inspection can result in a long queue at the exit of the parking area. In addition, students also have difficulty finding available parking spots in the parking area because there is no system that provides directions to see the availability of parking spots. Therefore, in this study a Smart Parking system was built using the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) system by creating a portal with a QR code scanner and adding a light sensor in each parking spot. The sensor testing results show that the light sensor is able to display the results according to the condition of the vehicle and then send the parking spot data to the application server, then based on the black box software testing, it is concluded that the software functionally runs well and produces results as expected. User testing conducted by students also shows the results as expected.

Abstract

Increasing cases of fraud in bank transactions are a serious concern for financial institutions, resulting in significant economic losses and undermining customer trust. This calls for identifying suspicious transaction patterns through machine-learning approaches to mitigate the risk of fraud. The methods used include problem identification, transaction data collection, and preprocessing to clean and prepare the data and after that, applying the K-Means Clustering algorithm to group transactions based on similar characteristics. The evaluation result obtained in this study using the Silhouette Score is 0.42, indicating a fairly good separation between normal and suspicious transactions. This research is expected to contribute to the development of a more accurate and efficient machine learning-based fraud detection system in banking institutions.

Abstract

The stages of development and establishment of a region involve several key elements that require attention, including the construction of buildings that take into account the surrounding environmental conditions. Beams are structural components that function to transfer loads from slabs to columns, acting as horizontal reinforcement frames for the building. They support floor loads and connect upper columns. The purpose of this study is to review the existing beam elements and perform a reanalysis. The technique employed involves a beam evaluation using the SNI 2847:2013 standard. The results indicate that the beam analysis calculations align with field observations. The compression reinforcement installed in the beam did not yield, categorizing the beam element as tension-dominated. The spacing of the installed flexural reinforcement in the beam is D10-200. Calculation reviews show that the tensile reinforcement comprises 14D25 and 4D25, while the total compressive reinforcement amounts to 12D25. Thus, it can be concluded that the structural design complies with the technical specifications outlined in the applicable SNI standards.
