Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This condition includes several types, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, experiences impaired insulin function, or faces a combination of both. As a result, glucose cannot be effectively absorbed by the body’s cells and accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. If this condition persists, the buildup of glucose can cause various disorders in different organs. Without proper management, diabetes may lead to severe and life-threatening complications. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and even failure of vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. In this activity, percentage-based methods and demonstrations of blood glucose testing were used as educational tools for students. The results showed that students’ awareness of the dangers of elevated blood sugar levels remains low. Many of them are still unfamiliar with the importance of regular blood glucose monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent diabetes. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to provide education and outreach on the prevention and early management of diabetes mellitus.

Consumptive behavior refers to the tendency of individuals to purchase goods or services excessively, driven not by need but by the desire for personal satisfaction. University students are particularly vulnerable to such behavior, especially given the ease of access to e-commerce platforms and limitations in personal financial management. Pocket money received and students’ level of financial literacy are key factors shaping their consumption patterns. This study analyzes the effects of e-commerce, pocket money, and financial literacy on the consumptive behavior of undergraduate students in the Development Economics Study Program at Udayana University. A quantitative approach was employed, using a survey of 90 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that, jointly, e-commerce, pocket money, and financial literacy significantly affect students’ consumptive behavior. Partially, e-commerce and pocket money have positive effects, whereas financial literacy has a negative effect. This indicates that higher financial literacy reduces the tendency toward consumptive behavior.

The student admission process in many educational institutions is still conducted manually, leading to issues such as data duplication, input errors, and delays in reporting. This study designs and implements a desktop-based student registration information system using VB.NET and MySQL, equipped with an admission-status checking feature and an automated quota-management module. The system was developed using the waterfall model, consisting of requirement analysis, system design using UML, implementation, and black-box testing. Two user roles are supported: admin and student. Admin users can manage applicant data, configure program quotas, open or close the registration period, and generate reports, while student users can create accounts, complete registration forms, and independently check their admission results. The implementation results show that all core functions operate validly based on testing involving two respondents. The quota-management feature successfully restricts the number of applicants according to predetermined capacities, and the admission-status module automatically displays pass or fail results. The system improves administrative efficiency, enhances data accuracy, and reduces reliance on manual record-keeping. Therefore, this desktop application serves as an effective solution for schools requiring a reliable and efficient admission management system without depending on stable internet connectivity.
