Traditional association rule analysis is effective at uncovering co-purchase patterns but fails to provide a global structural view of the market, which often results in fragmented and isolated insights. This study proposes a hybrid framework that integrates the Apriori algorithm with a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) in order to validate and contextualize association rules within a single structural backbone. Transaction data from a retail store are transformed into a weighted, undirected product graph using an inverse-support function, and an MST is then extracted to represent the market backbone, while frequent itemsets and strong rules are obtained using Apriori. Experimental results on 236 multi-item transactions show that the MST backbone comprises 10 products and 9 fundamental links, with 66.67% of these links being confirmed by strong association rules, indicating a substantial coherence between statistical and structural evidence. The proposed model identifies 41 Apriori patterns that can be embedded in the MST and ranks them using a new metric, Structural Distance, which enables the categorization of Core Patterns, Bridge Patterns, and Complex Patterns according to their structural tightness. This hybrid perspective distinguishes dense, strategically meaningful bundles from anomalous but frequent combinations that are structurally peripheral, thereby offering a more holistic and actionable alternative to conventional Market Basket Analysis. The validated framework can support various applications, including store layout optimization, cross-selling strategies, and the design of path-based recommender systems, and it opens avenues for future extensions based on dynamic graphs and Graph Neural Networks.

The development of social media platforms like TikTok has created new spaces for digital economic activities, including the practive of thrifting, which has now become a trend among the public. However, government policies that block these activities have sparked various public reactions. This study aims to analyze public sentiment regarding the issue of thrifting bans on the TikTok platform using the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) method. This method was chosen because it can understand text context from both directions, allowing it to capture deeper semantic meaning. The dataset consist of 4,000 TikTok user comments collected through a crawling process. The research stages include data preprocessing, sentiment labeling, splitting training and test data, training the Bi-LSTM model, and evaluating performance using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The research results show that the Bi-LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 86.15%, with stable classification performance and minimal error rate. These findings indicate that Bi-LSTM is effective for sentiment analysis of public opinions on Indonesian language social media, particularly on context specific policy issues. Further development can be carried out by adding pre-trained embeddings or attention mechanisms to improve the model’s performance.

Relational databases store information in interconnected tables and are widely used for data management and retrieval. However, in certain environments, the original values stored in a relational database cannot be exposed during data retrieval. This limitation creates a challenge because common encryption methods only transform data for storage and do not support mathematical operations needed for value matching. Partially Homomorphic Encryption is a cryptographic approach that allows specific mathematical operations to be performed directly on transformed data without restoring it to its original form. This study proposes the use of Partially Homomorphic Encryption to enable value-based data retrieval while keeping all stored values in their transformed form throughout the entire process. The method relies on homomorphic properties that allow mathematical comparison to be conducted on encrypted data, making the retrieval process possible without revealing the original values. The results show that this approach can perform data retrieval operations in a relational database while preserving the transformed structure of the stored data. The proposed method offers an alternative for environments that require data retrieval without exposing original values and demonstrates the potential of homomorphic techniques in supporting secure and functional data processing in relational database contexts.

The coffee farming sector in Gunungmanik Village, Indonesia, plays a significant role in the local economy. However, the monitoring and management of coffee crops remain largely manual and conventional, making it difficult for farmers to respond quickly to environmental threats such as drought, pests, or sudden temperature shifts. This research presents the development of iotgm.id, a web-based monitoring system integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) devices designed to provide real-time environmental data for coffee plantations. The system measures key parameters including temperature, soil moisture, and motion detection (as a proxy for pest activity), and delivers this data via a user-friendly web interface. It also features digital farm record management, real-time alerts for abnormal conditions, and data visualization through interactive dashboards. Field testing with local farmers showed that the system improves decision-making, speeds up responses to environmental changes, and reduces the need for direct field visits. Unlike earlier systems that often required technical expertise or focused on single parameters, this system offers multi-parameter monitoring and is accessible to farmers without advanced digital literacy. The system bridges the gap between sophisticated agricultural technologies and practical field-level application. It contributes to the adoption of precision agriculture in rural areas, offering a scalable model for broader implementation in similar contexts

Technological advancements have brought fundamental changes in the way we interact with digital images and photography. One significant milestone in this development is the Photoshop Express Photo Editor, which has become a primary platform for image processing and editing. Datasets are used to analyze sentiment and are utilized during the accuracy testing phase. Based on the testing results, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm achieved an average accuracy value of 86.50%, compared to the Naïve Bayes (NB) algorithm, which achieved an average accuracy value of 75%. The results of the research conclude that the choice of sentiment analysis method should be tailored to the needs and limitations of the system. If a fast, light, and easy-to-understand process is required, the Naive Bayes method is the right choice. However, if accuracy and context understanding are the top priorities, then CNN is a superior approach, although it requires more resources. Additionally, based on the Wordcloud data, it is known that the majority of comments are positive, indicating that the reviews or texts analyzed contain many positive expressions related to quality, usability, and ease of use.
