The rapid growth of e-commerce has intensified the need to understand transaction patterns and customer purchasing behavior as a foundation for strategic decision-making. This study aims to analyze e-commerce transaction patterns and customer purchasing behavior based on demographic characteristics and transaction timing. By utilizing e-commerce transaction data, this research seeks to provide a more comprehensive understanding of customers’ purchasing tendencies and the factors influencing their behavior. This study employs Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) as the primary method to descriptively explore data characteristics through various statistical visualizations, including histograms, bar charts, line graphs, and boxplots. The analysis conducted to identify transaction trends, the distribution of purchase values, and behavioral differences across demographic groups and specific time periods. The results indicate that e-commerce transaction patterns tend to increase during certain periods, particularly in the latter part of the observation timeframe, suggesting the influence of seasonal factors and promotional strategies. The distribution of transaction values is asymmetric, with most transactions occurring in the low to medium value range, while high-value transactions are conducted by a relatively small proportion of customers. Furthermore, variations in purchasing behavior are observed across demographic groups in terms of transaction frequency and value, despite relatively balanced transaction volumes. The findings confirm that e-commerce customer purchasing behavior is influenced by a combination of temporal factors and demographic characteristics. These results are expected to serve as a basis for e-commerce practitioners in developing more targeted marketing strategies and as a reference for future research in the field of e-commerce data analytics.

The lack of a systematic calculation approach makes it difficult for APR Nine to monitor fabric raw material inventory, resulting in raw material purchases still being based on habit and intuition. With a total inventory of 2,001 rolls and raw material usage of 1,803 rolls of fabric, there were seven times of excess stock and five times of shortage during the period of October 2024 to September 2025. The difference between the two was 198 rolls. This study uses the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to analyze fabric raw material inventory control. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis using data from the period of October 2024 to September 2025. The results of the study indicate that 1694 orders with an ordering frequency of 10 times, a safety stock of 29 rolls, and a reorder point of 35 rolls are the ideal quantities when using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) approach. Compared to the previous APR Nine approach, the application of the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method is more effective in reducing overall inventory costs from Rp. 5,011,949.35 to Rp. 4,508,824.67.

PT UVW uses jigs in the vacuum metalizing process that require washing, which is currently done manually, resulting in inefficiency and risks to operators, thus, jig washer machine was created in order to reduce the risk for operators and increasing efficiency, which based on horizontal mixer. This study analyses the effect of agitator design on fluid flow patterns in a jig washing machine to obtain an optimal design. Two agitator design alternatives were developed and tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations at rotational speeds of 70, 75, and 100 rpm, followed by prototype fabrication and performance testing. Simulation results show that the second design produces a higher fluid velocity (20.4 m/s) and a more turbulent and uniform flow pattern compared to the first design (1.7 m/s). Field tests confirmed that the second design achieves higher washing effectiveness (97.14%) with reduced water consumption and shorter washing time. The optimally designed agitator washing machine increases productivity by six times compared to manual washing and reduces operator exposure to hazardous chemicals. This study recommends the second agitator design for improving washing efficiency and effectiveness.

Anxiety is a prevalent mental health issue that affects psychological well-being and daily functioning. In Muslim communities, Islamic spiritual practices are commonly used as coping strategies, yet empirical evidence regarding their effectiveness in reducing anxiety has not been systematically consolidated. This study aimed to synthesize scientific evidence on Islamic spiritual interventions for anxiety reduction. A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines by searching Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Elsevier. Observational studies published between 2019 and 2026 that examined Islamic spiritual interventions and reported anxiety outcomes were included and analyzed narratively. Ten eligible articles were identified. The review demonstrates that Islamic spiritual interventions, such as dhikr, prayer, Qur’an recitation, and Islamic spiritual counseling, are consistently associated with reductions in anxiety across diverse populations and settings. Although the magnitude of effects varied, the overall findings indicate a beneficial role of Islamic spiritual practices in anxiety management. These results suggest that Islamic spiritual interventions may be integrated as complementary approaches within mental health and public health services for Muslim populations, while further methodologically rigorous studies are required to strengthen the evidence base.

This research focusses on translators working with languages that have diverse promotional language systems and cultures. The study is based on the modulation theory given by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995). This research intends to highlight the changes in point of view produced by translators in translating texts from English into Indonesian. The data source of this study is Garuda Indonesia magazine, which is presented in English as well as its Indonesian translation. The research indicates that translators change their perspective based on various factors to produce a target language that is equivalent to the source language while retaining the original meaning. The changes include a) abstract for concrete, b) explicative modulation, c) the part for the whole, d) one part for another, e) reversal of terms, f) negation of opposite, g) active to passive, h) exchange of intervals for limits. The change in perspective creates a cultural bridge in translation involving different languages and cultures.

Industrial visits are widely recognized as an experiential learning approach that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real industrial practices in engineering education. This study aims to examine the relationship between industrial visits and the improvement of production system understanding and critical thinking skills among students of the Faculty of Industrial Technology at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Al-Ghazali (UNUGHA) Cilacap. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants consisted of 43 industrial engineering students who took part in industrial visits to PT Dirgantara Indonesia and the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in Bandung. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed through Paired Sample t-Test. The results reveal a significant increase in students’ understanding of production systems, with mean scores rising from 64.23 (pretest) to 81.47 (posttest) (p < 0.05). Similarly, critical thinking skills showed a significant improvement, increasing from a mean score of 63.05 to 83.12 (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that industrial visits have a substantial positive impact on enhancing students’ academic competencies. This study highlights the importance of systematically integrating industrial visits into the industrial engineering curriculum to strengthen learning outcomes and improve graduates’ readiness for industrial challenges.

Surveillance for diarrhea at the district level in Indonesia is still affected by the fragmented nature of the District Health Information System (DHIS) and Early Warning and Response System (EWARS), inconsistent reporting, patchy data interoperability, and the resulting public health delays. Although there are systems in place like the DHIS and EWARS, the persistent use of hybrid systems that combine manual and digital data entry, as well as the different skill levels of users, continues to produce issues of incompleteness, untimely reporting, and inaccurate data. The present study investigated the deficiencies in surveillance reporting of diarrhea cases, the surveillance data to determine the degree of integration and also investigated the health workers perceptions of the barriers to effective reporting. A mixed methods approach was adopted in this study where we investigated quantitatively the DHIS and routine diarrhea reports submitted for the entire year of 2023, and combined that with qualitative, in-depth interviews with the relevant surveillance officers, program managers, and district staff. The quantitative analysis indicated gaps in reporting about 55% in terms of completeness, and consistency of reporting and also significant differences were found between the manual register, DHIS, and EWARS whereby the integration of these systems was found to be low. The qualitative analysis pointed to the combination of disconnected workflows, limited cross-system interoperability, inadequate system training, excessive workloads, and weak organizational feedback, as the main barriers to effective reporting. The combination of these two datasets illustrates the fact that both system deficiencies and organizational factors are primary drivers of the reporting. Closing the gaps will require system level changes in the interoperability of reporting systems, simplified reporting workflows, training, reporting, and reporting feedback loops.

Community service with the theme of Socialization and Education of Legal Products for MSME and Creative Economy Actors in Temberan Village, Pangkalpinang City, is based on field conditions, where many MSME actors in the region do not have legal legality for the businesses they run and lack basic knowledge regarding product packaging and brand creation that have high marketability. As a result, their businesses are not developing to strengthen the creative economy and enhance the capacity of actors. The model used in this program is a direct dialogue method with the MSME actors. The discussion results showed that of the 26 participants, only 1 MSME actor had received guidance and had an NIB (Business Identification Number), but lacked a halal certificate and patent rights for their product brands. The other 25 participants were briefed for the first time regarding the importance of legal legitimacy for their business. Therefore, it can be concluded that these 25 MSME actors do not have legal legitimacy for their businesses. The team provided assistance to help register their businesses by collaborating with relevant agencies. Regarding product branding, it was found that all participants had not optimized their product branding, as most MSME actors in Temberan Village packaged their products simply without attractive branding, packaging, colors, or packaging materials. Many even used plastic wrapping without a brand. The team intervened intensively by providing further assistance to MSME actors in Temberan Village, utilizing information and communication technology to help determine product brands for those without one and to select packaging materials that follow current trends, shapes, colors, and materials to make the product more attractive and increase branding and consumer interest.

Japanese kale (Brassica oleracea) is a leafy vegetable with high nutritional and economic value and strong potential for development through intensive cultivation systems, including polybag-based cultivation. Fertilization is an important factor determining plant growth success. This study aimed to analyze differences in the effects of cattle-manure compost fertilizer and NPK Mutiara fertilizer on the vegetative growth of Japanese kale, as well as to evaluate their roles in maintaining growing media fertility. The research employed a quantitative experimental approach using a single-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD), namely fertilizer type. Treatments consisted of cattle-manure compost fertilizer and NPK Mutiara fertilizer, each with twelve replications, resulting in twenty-four experimental units. Observed parameters included plant height, leaf width, and growing media pH. The results showed that NPK Mutiara fertilizer produced better plant height and leaf width than compost fertilizer, particularly during the vegetative phase. This advantage was associated with the rapid availability of macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for plant uptake. Meanwhile, cattle-manure compost fertilizer contributed to stabilizing growing media pH and improving soil physical and biological conditions. pH values in both treatments remained within the optimal range and did not limit plant growth. Therefore, NPK Mutiara fertilizer is more effective for short-term vegetative growth enhancement, whereas compost fertilizer supports sustainable growing media fertility.

Modern conflict has evolved into the cyber domain as part of hybrid warfare, demanding a reinterpretation of the Sishankamrata (Total People's Defense and Security System) doctrine to encompass the digital realm. This study aims to analyze the integration of cyber defense into the Sishankamrata framework using a literature review and comparative analysis with the cyber defense strategies of the United States, Estonia, and Singapore. The results indicate that the implementation of Sishankamrata in the cyber domain faces challenges regarding inter-institutional synergy and unclear operational roles for the Reserve and Support Components. Based on the comparative analysis, Estonia's Cyber Defence Unit model and Singapore's Digital Defence pillar are identified as the most effective blueprints for Indonesia to mobilize civilian experts and enhance social resilience. This study recommends that the government formalize "Digital Defense" as an integral pillar of Sishankamrata, establish a Cyber Reserve Component consisting of expert civilian volunteers, and strengthen legal frameworks and public digital literacy as a form of state defense

State institutions play a primary role in governing and exercising power within a country. Indonesia, as a unitary state with a republican system, regulates the state's institutional structure through the 1945 Constitution, which serves as the supreme legal basis and guideline for state administration. The function of state institutions is to ensure that all aspects of government are implemented in accordance with the principles of law, justice, and public welfare. The state is not only considered a legal entity but also a social entity with specific functions and logic. The state's objectives are directed at balancing government power and citizen rights and accommodating the interests of individuals and the wider community. Following the amendments to the 1945 Constitution, Indonesia's institutional system underwent significant changes with the establishment of independent institutions that strengthen democracy, transparency, and accountability. Understanding the state's foundations, the requirements for formation, the form and system of government, and the relationships between institutions is crucial for maintaining Indonesia's constitutional order. Furthermore, public respect for state symbols and institutions contributes to strengthening unity and political stability, and realizing the ideals of a sovereign and prosperous nation.

This research is motivated by the importance of preserving the authenticity of the Qur’an as the primary source of Islamic teachings and law, which serves as the foundation for legal certainty within the Islamic Family Law system. Historical records show that the codification process of the Qur’an carried out by Zaid bin Tsabit during the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Uthman bin Affan played a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and uniformity of the revealed text, thereby having significant implications for the validity of Islamic legal arguments. This study aims to critically analyze the role of Zaid bin Tsabit in the Qur’anic codification process and its implications for the certainty of the textual basis (nash) in Islamic family law. Using a qualitative method with a historical-normative approach, this research combines chronological and normative analyses of primary sources such as the works of as-Suyuthi and az-Zarkasyi, as well as secondary sources in relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that the codification process of the Qur’an holds not only historical value but also juridical significance, as it ensures the authenticity of the text as the foundation of Islamic law. Therefore, integrating historical and normative aspects is essential to maintaining the authority of Islamic legal sources in the contemporary era.

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a form of evaluation that demands the physical and mental readiness of nursing students. Academic pressure, the demands of clinical performance, and the fear of failure can trigger anxiety, potentially disrupting sleep patterns. Poor sleep patterns can impact nursing students' concentration, memory, and academic performance.  This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study were students of the Faculty of Nursing, Muhammadiyah University of Semarang who were taking the OSCE exam. The sample size was 119 respondents, taken using a proportionate random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire to measure anxiety levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep patterns. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the Spearman Rank statistical test. The results showed that most respondents were 20 years old (83.2%) and female (82.4%). Most students experienced mild anxiety (43.7%) and had good sleep quality (58.8%). The Spearman Rank test results showed a correlation value (r) = 0.898 with a p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05), which means there is a very strong and significant relationship between students' anxiety levels and sleep patterns in facing the OSCE exam.  There is a very strong and significant relationship between students' anxiety levels and sleep patterns during the OSCE.
