Business is an economic activity carried out by individuals or organizations to produce and sell goods or services with the aim of making a profit. The NSH Group Store is a business that sells carpets, pillows, bolsters, and dolls located in the Sei Dadap I/II Plantation, Sei Dadap District, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra 21225. The NSH Group Store was established in 2016 and is owned by Mrs. Siti Komariah Siregar. Among the challenges faced by the NSH Group Store owner are irregular stock procurement. Sales transaction processes still use conventional methods, reducing efficiency and time effectiveness, and potentially leading to data errors. Supply Chain Management is a series of approaches used to efficiently integrate suppliers so that goods can be distributed in the right quantities, locations, and at the right time, with the aim of minimizing overall system costs. A bolster pillow is a pillow that can function as both a pillow and a bolster. Bolster pillows are oval and long, so they can be hugged while sleeping. The benefits of a bolster pillow include maintaining a proper sleeping position, reducing pressure on joints, helping reduce aches, improving sleep quality, and improving overall health. Therefore, by implementing Supply Chain Management (SCM), data processing will be faster and more accurate.

Business ventures are activities carried out by individuals or organizations involving the production, sale, purchase, or exchange of goods and services, with the aim of generating profit. A basic necessities store (commonly known as a “sembako” store in Indonesia) sells daily staple needs, especially the nine essential commodities (sembako), which include items such as rice, sugar, cooking oil, eggs, salt, and other key food ingredients. UD. Putri 2, located in Dusun 1A, Sumber Harapan Village (21261), Tinggi Raja Subdistrict, Asahan Regency, was established in 2018 and has since become an essential part of the local community. This has required UD. Putri 2 to constantly monitor their stock inventory. However, the company still faces inefficiencies in managing sales data processing, which often leads to inventory shortages. When the supply of goods is insufficient to meet customer demand, customers may turn to other stores. If this occurs repeatedly, the store risks losing profit due to the unavailability of goods. Supply Chain Management (SCM) refers to the integrated processes and production activities starting from the acquisition of raw materials from suppliers, the value-adding processes that turn raw materials into finished products, the inventory storage process, and the distribution of finished goods to retailers and consumers. The implementation of SCM can optimize inventory management of staple goods, minimize inventory costs, and improve supply chain efficiency at UD. Putri 2.

This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to explore the impact of users’ mental models on the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as a strategy for mitigating password guessing risks in organizational environments. Amid the growing landscape of cyber threats, single-factor authentication has proven to be vulnerable, making MFA an essential layered security solution. However, the adoption of MFA remains slow. Existing studies indicate that expert users perceive MFA as a useful additional layer of verification, whereas non-expert users often view it as a burdensome task (a chore) and may even struggle to distinguish between different types of MFA. Dependence on mobile devices emerges as a common source of frustration for both groups. These findings emphasize that understanding users’ mental models is crucial for improving the implementation and usability of MFA. Innovations such as adaptive MFA or Single Input Multi-Factor Authentication (SIMFA) show potential as solutions to balance security requirements and user experience.

The rapid development of information technology in today's digital era has significantly impacted organizational performance, particularly in data management and resource planning. One organization that heavily relies on accurate data availability is the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), especially its Blood Donor Unit (UDD). UDD PMI of Asahan Regency faces challenges in determining monthly blood donor targets to maintain stable blood stock. A shortage of blood supply can be fatal for patients requiring transfusions. Therefore, a system is needed to forecast the number of blood donors, allowing for more accurate decision-making. This study utilizes the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) method to predict the number of blood donors for the following month based on historical data from March 2024 to March 2025. The WMA method is chosen for its ability to assign greater weight to recent data, making the forecast more relevant and accurate. The results of this research are expected to assist UDD PMI Asahan Regency in anticipating blood needs and maintaining optimal stock availability.

Social media has become a strategic tool for the government to disseminate public information quickly, interactively, and efficiently in the digital era. The Lampung Provincial Government utilizes various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to support public communication activities. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of public communication by measuring the level of activity of Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) social media accounts using the logistic regression method. Data were collected through web scraping techniques on the official OPD social media accounts and then processed using a quantitative approach. The results show that the level of social media activity influences the effectiveness of public communication and the transparency of government information. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for local governments in designing public communication strategies that are more optimal and adaptive to developments in digital technology.

Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat Gerakan anti Kekurangan Yodium  (GAKY) atau dengan nama Inggris  Iodine Deficiency Disorder  (IDD)  Indonesia merupakan Lembaga yang dikelola oleh para ahli di bidang kedokteran  yang  sebagian besar merupakan pengajar di  fakultas kedokteran UNDIP  ( Universitas Diponegoro ) Semarang. GAKY merupakan cabang dari lembaga independent IDD­NET, sebuah lembaga yang mengawasi kekurangan yodium masyarakat dunia. IDD­NET bekerja dibawah pendanaan penuh dari WHO ( World Healt Organization ). Selain melakukan pengawasan untuk wilayah indonesia, GAKY juga melakukan  penelitian­penelitian  dan  pengabdian  masyarakat  yang  berhubungan  dengan  kekurangan yodium. Untuk mempublikasikan hasil penelitian mereka, GAKY menerbitkan  jurnal  ilmiah yang  terbit 3 kali  setahun.  Publikasi  juga  dilakukan  melalui  internet  melalui  situs  resminya  www.idd­indonesia.net. Tetapi  jurnal  yang  terpublikasi  belum  terangkum  dalam  struktur  database  yang  rapi.  Sehingga  perlu  di rancang dan dibangun database  jurnal berbasis web dengan manajemen data menggunakan  file  teks yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan di Jurnal GAKY. Bertitik tolak dari latarbelakang diatas maka dapat dirumuskan masalah dari penelitian ini yaitu bagaimana merancang dan membangun sistem database jurnal berbasis web dengan manajemen data menggunakan file teks  yang  sesuai  untuk  kebutuhan  di  situs www.idd­indonesia.net. Metode  Pengembangan  sistem  dalam penelitian  ini menggunakan  pendekatan Waterfall. Penggunaan CMS Cutenews  cukup membantu  dalam pengelolaan  data  file  teks,  Cutenews  dapat  digunakan  apabila  pada  server  tidak  disediakan  layanan database  seperti  halnya Mysql.  Penggunaan  file  teks  sebagai media  penyimpan memang  sangat mudah dalam instalasi, tetapi proses pembuatan program sangatlah sulit. Penambahan atribut dan tabel tidak dapat dilakukan instan seperti RDBMS.

Dengan berkembangnya teknologi komputer dan pengaplikasiannya memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap sistem informasi dan kehidupan masyarakat dunia. Salah satu contoh dampak yang sangat berpengaruh besar terhadap teknologi komputer dan pengaplikasiannya adalah Pelanggaran terhadap hak cipta kekayaan intelektual (HAKI). Perkembangan Teknologi informasi yang cepat juga diikuti oleh permintaan akan sistem informasi yang lebih baik, sehingga dampaknya akan mencakup pada bidang yang salah satunya adalah pada bidang HAKI. Sedangkan usaha untuk melindungi Hak cipta kekayaan intelektual sebenarnya sudah pernah dilakukan oleh beberapa negara yaitu persetujuan WIPO(Word Intellectual Property Organization) yang bernaung di bawah PBB. Namun hal itu tidak dapat menjamin Hak cipta kekayaan intelektual mereka aman, karena hanya beberapa negara saja yang membuat persetujuan (anggotanya terbatas).
