Coffee is a leading commodity in Indonesia's agricultural sector, possessing high economic value and providing a livelihood for many farmers. However, coffee plant productivity often declines significantly due to various diseases affecting the leaves, stems, and berries. This situation is exacerbated by the lack of knowledge among most farmers in recognizing early disease symptoms, resulting in delayed treatment. Consequently, crop losses are unavoidable. Based on these challenges, this study aims to design and build an expert system capable of diagnosing coffee plant diseases quickly, precisely, and accurately using the Bayesian Theorem method. This method was chosen because it can calculate the probability of a disease occurring based on observed symptoms in plants. The Bayesian approach allows the system to provide more reliable diagnostic results by updating the probability values ​​as new evidence is introduced. The developed expert system is web-based, making it easily accessible to users, both farmers and other interested parties. Users simply select the symptoms observed in coffee plants, and the system will then provide a diagnostic result in the form of possible diseases and their probability levels. Test results indicate that the system is capable of providing fairly accurate diagnostic results and can be used as a basis for farmers in making initial decisions regarding coffee plant disease management. With this expert system, farmers are expected to improve their ability to detect coffee plant diseases early, thereby maintaining crop productivity. This expert system is expected to be an effective decision support tool for farmers to reduce crop losses and improve agricultural sustainability.

Communication is the process of exchanging information, ideas, thoughts, and feelings between individuals or groups through the use of words, signs, or actions. This process can take place verbally or non-verbally and involves various media and channels, such as face-to-face conversations, writing, gestures, facial expressions, and digital technology. This research was conducted at STMIK Kaputama Binjai, namely the WhatsApp group between lecturers and students. This study uses the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. SVM is a type of supervised learning machine learning that requires sample data. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is an algorithm developed by Boser, Guyon, and Vapnik in 1992. Support Vector Machine (SVM) has a concept that is combined with previous computational theories. This method can transform training data into higher dimensions using non-linear patterns. The results of the Support Vector Machine method classification with a total of 16 positive sentiments, 40 neutral sentiments and 71 negative sentiments. Accuracy value 67%, margin error 39%. Positive prediction precision 75%, neutral prediction precision 83% and negative prediction precision 88%..

The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program provides students the opportunity to study for one semester outside of their major, aiming to develop the soft and hard skills required in the workforce. One key component of this program is internships or practical work, which gives students hands-on experience in the professional world and the chance to build professional networks. This research uses the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) method to predict the impact of MBKM activities on undergraduate students at STMIK Kaputama. Using the RapidMiner application, student data was tested to obtain the accuracy of predicting students' engagement in the MBKM program in the future. The test results show that the K-NN model has an accuracy of 75.34%, indicating that the model is fairly good at predicting the impact of the MBKM program on students.    

This study investigated college students' anxiety levels in completing their final projects, which is an important requirement for graduation. Anxiety is a common problem faced by students, which is often caused by the long and complicated process of preparing a final project. Using the Zung Self-Assessment Anxiety Scale (SAS/SRAS), this study aims to measure the level of anxiety and identify the main factors that contribute to it. The Rough Set Method, an efficient technique for analyzing uncertainty, was applied to identify patterns and relationships between factors influencing college students' anxiety. Data was collected through questionnaires from students who are currently completing their final projects. By applying the Rough Set Method, this research succeeded in identifying significant factors that influence anxiety levels, such as psychological, physical and positive responses. These findings provide valuable insight for educators and counselors to better understand and address college students' anxiety during the final years.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by uncontrollable obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. The disorder triggers anxiety in sufferers that often drives them to avoid situations or places that can trigger obsessions, such as shaking hands or using public restrooms. Proper treatment is necessary to prevent further impact on the quality of life of OCD sufferers. However, early diagnosis is often constrained by limited time and access to medical experts. To overcome this, an expert system based on the Certainty Factor method was developed. This system mimics the thought process of a medical expert in diagnosing OCD using symptoms selected by the user. Certainty Factor is used to calculate the certainty level of each diagnosis based on the inputted symptoms. From the analysis, the system is able to provide diagnoses with high accuracy, even reaching 100% for some OCD cases. These results show that expert systems can be an effective tool in detecting OCD early, thus accelerating the process of proper handling and treatment

A library is a facility or place that provides reading materials. Good book arrangement can help the library in obtaining good reading sources. The arrangement of library service book collections based on borrowing patterns, there is an alignment between user needs and the availability of reading materials available in the library. Analysis of book borrowing patterns provides valuable insights for library staff in determining the books that are most in demand and often needed by users. Data mining is defined as mining data or efforts to dig up valuable and useful information in a very large database. The most important thing in data mining techniques is the rule for finding high frequency patterns between sets of itemsets called Association Rules. The method used in this study is Apriori (Association Rule). This technique is used to find relationships or associations between items or variables in data. Well-known algorithms such as Apriori and Eclat are used to find association rules in transactional data. The purpose of this study is to find out library visitor data using the Apriori Algorithm method and to find out the application of data mining for compiling book collections based on borrowing patterns. The results of this study are the multiplication of support and confidence, choose the one with the largest multiplication result. The largest result of the multiplication of these multiplications is the rule used when borrowing books. Because the results of the multiplication of the 4 borrowings have the same value, all of them can be used as rules.  

Dementia is a growing global health challenge due to the aging population and lifestyle changes. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial but often difficult and costly. The Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) method in artificial intelligence offers a solution by mimicking human problem-solving based on past experiences. This study aims to develop and implement an efficient and reliable CBR-based dementia diagnosis system. The system is expected to analyze and compare patient symptoms and medical histories with documented cases to provide faster and more accurate diagnostic recommendations. The implementation of CBR in a web-based expert system using PHP and MySQL has proven effective, significantly contributing to the improvement of patient quality of life and healthcare system effectiveness.
