The issue of determining the number of students' graduation times is one of the important indicators in transmitting the quality and effectiveness of the higher education process in universities. The rate of on-time graduation not only impacts accredited institutions, but also becomes a concern for campus management in designing learning strategies and academic guidance. This study aims to apply and compare two classification algorithms in data mining, namely C4.5 and K-Nearest Neighbor KNN, in predicting the accuracy of students' graduation times. Predictions are made based on academic attributes such as Grade Point Average GPA, number of credits that have been achieved, and Semester Grade Point Average IPS as input variables. The method used in this study is Knowledge Discovery in Database KDD which includes data selection, preprocessing, transformation, data mining, and evaluation of results. The study was conducted using the RapidMiner tool, with a dataset of 279 Informatics Study Program students from the 2015 to 2019 intake. The data was classified into two categories: "graduated on time" and "not graduated on time". The test results showed that the KNN algorithm provided better performance compared to C4.5. KNN produced an accuracy of 76.08%, with a precision of 73.11% and a recall of 41.92%. Meanwhile, the C4.5 algorithm produced an accuracy of 73.49%, with a precision of 64.62% and a recall of 41.89%. This difference in accuracy indicates that KNN is more effective in capturing patterns in the data and providing more accurate predictions in this context. Thus, the KNN algorithm can be considered a more optimal method to assist universities in predicting potential student admissions in a timely manner, thus enabling early intervention for students at risk of late graduation. This research also contributes to the development of data mining-based academic decision support systems in higher education.

Indonesia is a country rich in culture, one of which is batik, recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of Indonesia. Batik is not only a visual art form but also holds significant potential as a context for teaching mathematics. Unfortunately, the integration of local culture into mathematics education has not been widely implemented. Therefore, this community service activity aims to train teachers and assist students in applying Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) based on batik culture at MTs Nurul Ummah Kotagede, Yogyakarta. The activity was carried out in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. In the preparation stage, teachers were provided with training on the theory and practice of RME, which was then applied in the classroom. The lesson focused on geometric transformations, using batik patterns as a real-world context. By linking mathematical concepts to the familiar cultural context of batik, it was hoped that students would more easily understand abstract mathematical ideas and find them more meaningful. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm from the students and positive appreciation from the teachers toward the RME model based on culture. Students demonstrated a better understanding of mathematical concepts, as the learning process connected theoretical knowledge to real-world contexts they recognized. Additionally, teachers acknowledged that using batik culture in mathematics education made the learning experience more enjoyable and meaningful. This activity proves that integrating local culture, such as batik, into RME can increase students' interest in mathematics and help them understand abstract concepts by relating them to real-life experiences.

The nutritional status of elementary school children serves as a vital indicator of their overall growth, development, and future health outcomes. Poor nutritional status, whether in the form of undernutrition or overweight, can lead to a range of health and academic performance issues. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of Grade 4A students at SD 064981 Cempaka Raya using anthropometric measurements and to examine the association between snacking habits and nutritional categories. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a total sampling approach involving all 20 students in the class. Data collection consisted of direct height and weight measurements conducted according to standardized procedures. The data were then analyzed using the WHO Anthro Plus software to classify nutritional status into undernourished, normal, overweight, and obese categories. Additionally, information on students’ snacking habits during school hours was obtained through structured questionnaires. The results indicated that 25% of students were undernourished, 50% had normal nutritional status, 20% were overweight, and 5% were obese. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test demonstrated a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.001) between snacking behavior and nutritional status. Specifically, all students who reported frequent consumption of snacks at school were classified as overweight or obese, whereas those who did not engage in frequent snacking predominantly fell within the undernourished or normal categories. These findings highlight the potential role of unhealthy snacking patterns in contributing to excessive weight gain among school-age children. Based on the results, it is recommended that nutrition education programs be implemented for both students and parents, coupled with stricter regulations on the availability and sale of high-calorie snack foods within the school environment. Such measures may serve as preventive strategies to promote healthy growth, maintain optimal nutritional status, and reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases later in life.
