This study aims to predict the potential bankruptcy of PT Argo Pantes Tbk for the period 2014–2024 using the Zmijewski X-Score model. The research adopts a quantitative method based on secondary data obtained from the company’s published annual financial statements. The Zmijewski model was selected because of its effectiveness in assessing companies with unstable financial conditions and its ability to provide a more accurate reflection of financial distress compared to other models. The analysis process involved calculating the X-Score for each year within the observation period and interpreting the results according to the criteria of the model. The findings indicate that for the entire study period, the calculated X value was consistently greater than or equal to zero. This outcome signifies that the company is in a condition classified as potentially bankrupt. Furthermore, the model demonstrated 100% accuracy in describing the company’s actual financial situation, since PT Argo Pantes Tbk consistently recorded net losses throughout the period of analysis. These losses were not incidental but reflected a long-term pattern of weak financial performance, limited profitability, and declining competitiveness in the textile industry. The results highlight that PT Argo Pantes Tbk has been operating under severe financial distress for a prolonged period, with no indication of recovery during the years observed. The persistent losses and negative financial indicators reinforce the conclusion that the company is in an unhealthy condition. The study confirms the applicability and reliability of the Zmijewski X-Score as a bankruptcy prediction tool in the Indonesian context, particularly for firms experiencing prolonged instability. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into financial distress analysis and underscores the importance of early bankruptcy prediction models in supporting stakeholders, investors, and regulators in making informed decisions.

Hairstyling is a crucial aspect of enhancing one’s aesthetic appearance and self-expression, with the Hollywood Wave being one of the most iconic and classic styles. Characterized by large, shiny, and neatly arranged “S”-shaped waves, this style requires accuracy in both technique and tools. One of the most influential factors in achieving the desired look is the diameter of the curly iron used. Observations during an internship at a national television station revealed that different curly iron diameters, specifically 28 mm and 25 mm, produce varied results when applied to long straight hair. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of using 28 mm and 25 mm diameter curly irons in creating Hollywood Wave styles. The research employed a quantitative method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The independent variable was the Hollywood Wave styling technique, while the dependent variable was the styling result measured across three indicators: wave shape, wave durability, and wave volume. The sample consisted of students who had completed the Hair Styling course and had long straight hair, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, followed by normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing to ensure validity. The findings demonstrate that the 28 mm curly iron performs more effectively than the 25 mm in producing Hollywood Waves that are neater, longer-lasting, and more voluminous. Statistical analysis confirms a significant difference between the two diameters in achieving optimal styling results. This suggests that the larger diameter curly iron not only provides a smoother and more polished wave pattern but also improves the durability and overall quality of the style. The study contributes to hairstyling practices by offering evidence-based insights into tool selection for professional styling, particularly for achieving the Hollywood Wave look.

The objectives of this Community Service Program are: (1) To introduce the concept of ethnomathematics to students and classroom teachers at UPT SDN 1 Rantepao as a contextual learning approach rooted in local culture, particularly the traditions of the Toraja ethnic group; (2) To enhance students’ understanding and interest in mathematics through the integration of mathematical elements found in Torajan cultural motifs, artifacts, and symbols, such as symmetry, geometric shapes, patterns, and measurement; and (3) To support teachers in developing innovative and meaningful mathematics instruction by connecting mathematical content to real-life contexts that are relevant to students' daily experiences. The program was implemented in five stages: preliminary observation and survey, preparation, implementation, group discussion and reflection, and the final stage—evaluation. Based on the results of the program, the introduction of ethnomathematics based on Torajan local culture successfully contributed to improving students’ mathematical understanding and reinforcing the relevance of mathematics instruction within the local cultural context. The three-day implementation of the program was met with highly positive responses from all school stakeholders, including strong student enthusiasm, active teacher participation, and noticeable changes in instructional practices. Evaluation outcomes demonstrated a significant improvement in student understanding, as reflected by an increase in the average quiz score from 55 to 83. Moreover, the program contributed to social transformation within the school environment, including the formation of culturally based student learning groups, positive shifts in student learning behaviors, the emergence of local student leadership, and increased awareness among both students and teachers of the importance of integrating local cultural values into the learning process.

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors that influence school leadership and management at SMP Negeri Satu Atap 01 Ciseeng. The background of this study is based on the low effectiveness of school management as indicated by the results of quality evaluations and the limited resources that are characteristic of schools in remote areas. The limitations include aspects of teaching staff, facilities and infrastructure, and low stakeholder involvement in decision-making. The study was conducted from May to June 2025 with a qualitative approach through a case study method. The research subjects included the principal, teachers, school committee, parents of students, and school supervisors. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model from Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of school leadership and management is strongly influenced by five main factors, namely: (1) the principal's leadership competence, (2) management of human and material resources, (3) the level of teacher participation in decision-making, (4) a collaborative organizational culture, and (5) strong external support from the school committee and parents. It was found that school principals play a dominant role in developing organizational culture and management strategies, but have not yet optimally engaged teachers and parents. Therefore, it is important to encourage more participatory leadership patterns and openness to cross-role collaboration. This study suggests the need for locally context-based leadership training and the development of policies that support remote school management. By strengthening synergy between stakeholders, it is hoped that school management in remote areas can be more effective and adaptive to the challenges they face.  

Manado City is highly vulnerable to hydrometeorological disasters due to its geographical conditions, rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, and the intensifying impacts of climate change. These risks underline the importance of effective disaster mitigation strategies that go beyond government intervention and involve active participation from communities and non-governmental organizations. In this context, collaboration among various actors becomes a crucial foundation for developing an adaptive and participatory disaster governance system. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of actor collaboration in disaster mitigation efforts in Manado City, with particular emphasis on patterns of interaction, role distribution, and structural as well as cultural barriers that influence the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder synergy. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research relies on secondary data gathered from official documents, government policy reports, and relevant academic publications. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and relational dynamics among stakeholders. The findings reveal that although strong driving factors exist—such as a high level of disaster risk, increasing public awareness, and the availability of institutional frameworks—collaboration remains largely procedural and government-dominated, with limited engagement from non-government actors. Challenges such as weak trust among stakeholders, insufficient substantive dialogue, and the absence of an integrated disaster information system continue to hinder the realization of effective collaborative practices. The study concludes by highlighting the urgency of adopting a collaborative governance model that emphasizes equality, mutual trust, and meaningful participation. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on disaster governance by providing insights into actor relations in a disaster-prone urban context. Practically, it proposes an adaptive collaboration framework that can be replicated in other cities facing similar disaster vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening resilience and community preparedness.

This article analyzes the song "Sukatani" by Sukatani Band as a form of musical expression that represents Eastern nuances within a post-punk aesthetic framework. The research was conducted using a qualitative-descriptive approach through a music analysis method based on Jan LaRue's theory in Guidelines for Style Analysis (1970), which includes six main parameters: melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, form, and instrumentation. This analysis aims to reveal how the musical elements in the song can be read as a meeting between the post-punk idiom born in the West and the local socio-cultural context in Indonesia. The research findings show that "Sukatani" combines a minor pentatonic scale and repetitive structure as distinctive Eastern musical characteristics, while maintaining the monotonous and intense impression synonymous with post-punk aesthetics. From a lyrical perspective, the use of ngapak language not only strengthens local identity but also presents an authentic expression close to the daily lives of rural communities. The lyrics voice social criticism regarding class inequality, state repression, and respect for peasant labor as the foundation of collective life. Thus, music is not merely an aesthetic medium, but also a means of articulating cultural resistance against the dominance of central discourse and the hegemony of mainstream popular culture. Furthermore, analysis of texture and instrumentation reveals a combination of distorted guitars, repetitive bass patterns, and rigid drum beats, all of which create a tense yet meditative atmosphere. 

Cassava tape is a traditional fermented product widely consumed in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. It is produced from cassava (Manihot esculenta) through the activity of microorganisms during the fermentation process. The presence of microbes in this process plays a crucial role in the flavor, aroma, texture, and final quality of the product. The microorganisms involved, including bacteria, molds, and yeasts, work synergistically to break down the carbohydrate components of cassava into simpler products, resulting in the sweet taste and distinctive aroma of tape. This study aimed to identify and characterize the microbes present in cassava tape through isolation and microscopic staining using safranin. The isolation process involved several stages: sequential sample dilution, inoculation onto Nutrient Agar (NA) media using the pour method, and incubation at 37°C for 24 hours. The growing microbial colonies were observed macroscopically, then collected and subjected to simple safranin staining to determine the shape and distribution pattern of the microbial cells microscopically. Observations revealed colonies with diverse morphologies, including rod-shaped (bacilli) and spherical (cocci), evenly distributed across the observation area. This indicates that cassava tape contains microorganisms of various morphologies that play a role in the fermentation process. Simple safranin staining has been shown to provide an initial overview of the presence and form of microbes, although further identification to the genus or species level requires further tests such as Gram staining, biochemical tests, and molecular analysis. These findings open up opportunities for further in-depth research into consumption safety, the functional role of microbes in tape fermentation, and its potential use as a source of natural probiotics in traditional fermented foods.  

In its ideal form, punishment is conceived as a rational and proportionate response to moral wrongdoing, grounded in demonstrable harm and clear culpability. Classical penological theories emphasize the principles of retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation, all of which presume the presence of intent and injury. However, in the case of Tom Lembong, punishment was imposed absent any proven crime, malicious intent, or measurable harm. Instead, it became a symbolic act, reconfigured as a performance of political theater to assert and preserve a sovereign narrative. This article advances two interrelated aims. First, it analyzes how the penalization of Tom Lembong reflects a wider pattern wherein legal institutions are repurposed to perform sovereignty and construct legitimacy through public spectacle. Second, it critiques the inadequacy of classical penological frameworks when punishment operates without moral fault or corrective intent. Using a qualitative research method and conceptual approach, this study draws upon library-based data sources, critically engaging with theoretical literature on penology, sovereignty, and post-truth politics. Data analysis was conducted descriptively, allowing conceptual mapping between legal practices and political narratives. The findings indicate that the punishment in this case functioned less as an instrument of legal redress than as political choreography. It transformed into symbolic currency designed to enforce narrative conformity and signal power consolidation. In such contexts, punishment serves not as a corrective measure but as a performative mechanism, signaling the dominance of a political order over competing interpretations of truth. This rupture in classical penological logic calls for a post-penological framework—one that accounts for punishment as a tool of narrative enforcement and symbolic governance within post-truth legal orders. Such a framework recognizes the transformation of legal acts into staged political performances, where the appearance of justice supersedes substantive fairness.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires a comprehensive prevention strategy. One key element in this effort is family education, which plays a frontline role in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through consistent education, supervision, and emotional support, families can build a foundation for positive behavior and mental resilience in adolescents. Effective family education includes open communication between parents and children, teaching moral and religious values, and creating a safe, harmonious, and warm home environment. Healthy communication allows adolescents to feel comfortable discussing problems or pressures they face, thereby minimizing the risk of falling into drug abuse. In addition to the role of the family, psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have proven effective in strengthening adolescents' resilience to social pressures and the temptation of drugs. CBT focuses on helping individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and risky behaviors that trigger abuse. With CBT techniques, adolescents can learn stress management skills, improve decision-making skills, and develop healthier, adaptive behaviors. The integration of family education and CBT therapy results in a more holistic prevention approach. Families provide a foundation of morals, values, and emotional support, while CBT strengthens adolescents' psychological abilities to face life's challenges. This synergy can increase resilience, reduce vulnerability to negative influences, and equip adolescents with effective strategies for resisting drugs. By optimizing the role of the family and combining it with psychological interventions, it is hoped that a healthy, productive young generation will emerge, free from the threat of drugs, enabling them to contribute positively to society and the future of the nation.

Tofu is one of the most widely consumed foodstuffs in Indonesia, enjoyed by nearly all social groups due to its affordability, nutritional value, and availability. As a processed product derived from soybeans, tofu has been an integral part of Indonesian diets for generations, with its consumption evenly distributed across regions. This study focuses on analyzing tofu consumption patterns in the Tenggarong sub-district, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, while specifically examining the influence of tofu and tempeh prices on tofu demand. Tempeh is included in the analysis as a comparative product due to its similarity in raw materials and market segment. The research employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression to determine the effect of the independent variables—price of tofu (X1) and price of tempeh (X2)—on the dependent variable, tofu demand (Y). Data were collected from relevant local sources through market surveys and secondary data records. The results indicate that both X1 and X2 have a measurable influence on Y, as reflected in the regression equation: Y = -50,178.37 + 20.48X1 + 2,488.09X2. The positive coefficient for tofu price suggests that, contrary to typical demand theory, an increase in tofu price in this specific market segment is associated with higher demand, which may indicate the influence of perceived quality or brand loyalty. Similarly, the positive coefficient for tempeh price implies that as tempeh becomes more expensive, consumers may substitute it with tofu, thereby increasing tofu demand. These findings highlight unique consumer behavior patterns in Tenggarong that may be influenced by cultural preferences, income stability, and market conditions. The study concludes that price dynamics between tofu and its substitute product, tempeh, play a significant role in shaping tofu consumption.

Mathematics learning, particularly in geometry, is often perceived as abstract and less engaging by students, leading to reduced interest and creativity. One of the geometry topics that demands a more creative and concrete approach is the tessellation of flat shapes, which emphasizes the understanding of patterns, symmetry, and regularity of shapes. The absence of contextual learning media has contributed to students’ low enthusiasm and limited ability to apply concepts in real-life contexts. This community service activity was designed to address these challenges by enhancing students’ creativity and conceptual understanding through the use of ceramic media as an innovative and enjoyable learning tool. The program was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Rowosari, Tembalang District, Semarang City, involving mathematics teachers, elementary school students, and university students. The implementation method included training and mentoring sessions. Activities encompassed the introduction of tessellation concepts, hands-on demonstrations, and the guided creation of tessellation patterns using ceramic media. Participants consisted of teachers and students who actively engaged in both theoretical and practical sessions. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered before and after the training. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ average scores after the activity. Pre-test data showed that approximately half of the students scored above the average, with two students achieving nearly perfect scores. Post-test results indicated that most students demonstrated increased understanding and creativity in applying tessellation concepts. Nevertheless, a small number of students still required further guidance, particularly in translating abstract tessellation concepts into real-life applications. Overall, the findings suggest that integrating ceramic media into mathematics learning is effective in making abstract geometry concepts more tangible, stimulating students’ creativity, and improving learning outcomes, especially in the topic of tessellation of flat shapes.

The nutritional status of primary school-aged children is an important indicator for monitoring their growth and development. This study aims to describe the nutritional status of the 4A grade students at SD 064981 Cempaka Raya based on anthropometric data and analyze the relationship between their consumption of school snacks and their nutritional status categories. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with total sampling of 20 students. Data was collected through measurements of height and weight, which were then processed using the WHO Anthro Plus software to determine the students' nutritional status categories. The measurement results show that 25% of the students are categorized as undernourished, 50% are within normal nutritional status, 20% are overweight, and 5% are obese. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed a highly significant relationship (p<0.001) between snack consumption patterns at school and nutritional status. The results show that all students who have the habit of consuming snacks are more likely to be categorized as overweight or obese, while students who do not consume snacks tend to be in the undernourished or normal category. These findings indicate that snack consumption patterns can be a risk factor for excess nutrition in children. Therefore, it is crucial to educate students about the importance of balanced and healthy eating habits from an early age. Monitoring snack consumption at school is also necessary to minimize the risk of obesity and excess nutrition in children. Preventive measures like these are expected to prevent health issues related to nutrition and promote healthy and optimal growth in children. By encouraging good eating habits, we can help create a healthier generation and reduce the risk of nutrition-related diseases.

This study aims to determine audience perceptions of the Instagram Reels advertisement content of Wardah Matte Lip Cream "Tasya Farasya Approved" edition.

This phenomenon is interesting to study considering the trend of influencer-based marketing is increasingly dominant in beauty product promotion strategies, especially in building emotional closeness with consumers and maintaining loyalty to local brands. Consumer perception is an important aspect because it will influence purchasing interest, brand image, and future purchasing decisions. This study uses the perception theory from Jalaludin Rakhmat (2015) which explains that perception is a person's experience of an object or phenomenon obtained through the process of processing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions from the information received. Based on this theory, this study adopted a quantitative descriptive approach. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents who are followers of Wardah's official Instagram account. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling to ensure the relevance of the data to the research focus. Descriptive data analysis was conducted using SPSS software to identify audience perception patterns regarding advertising content elements, such as visual appeal, message relevance, influencer credibility, and the product image's alignment with Wardah's brand image. This analysis is expected to reveal the extent to which brand and beauty influencer collaborations can create positive perceptions in consumers' minds. The research findings are expected to contribute to the development of digital marketing strategies in the cosmetics industry, particularly in utilizing influencer marketing effectively. Furthermore, the findings of this study can serve as a reference for other local brands in designing promotional campaigns that are relevant, engaging, and aligned with the characteristics of their target audience on social media.

In the customary law system, there is a pattern of punishment and prosecution which is more or less similar to the Islamic legal system, where the role of the victim's family is very important in determining whether or not the perpetrator will be prosecuted and punished. In customary law, legal settlements are carried out with an emphasis on togetherness or harmony. Settlement of criminal cases, especially bullying through customary law, is a process of resolving cases outside of court which consists of first, a mediation system with a consensus approach through deliberation. Second, the restorative justice system is a case resolution system with the aim of restoring the situation that arose for the victim so that a sense of brotherhood between each party is re-established. This system produces an agreement that is a win-win solution, guarantees the confidentiality of the parties' disputes, avoids delays caused by procedural and administrative matters, and resolves problems comprehensively together and while maintaining good relations. Thus, these customary sanctions do not provide legal protection and fulfillment of children's rights for children who are victims of sexual violence. In sexual crimes against children, children are positioned as victims who experience detrimental impacts, namely physical and psychological harm. Therefore, it is mandatory to be protected, not judged.

The rapid development of the smart city concept encourages the need for energy management that is more efficient, sustainable and adaptive to the needs of modern urban communities. In this context, renewable energy is the main solution to reduce dependence on fossil energy sources that are limited and pollute the environment. This research aims to optimize the utilization of renewable energy in smart cities by integrating Big Data technology and Decision Support Systems (DSS). The approach used in this research is a case study and system modeling method, which involves collecting energy data from various sources such as IoT sensors, weather stations, and energy distribution systems in real-time. The data is then analyzed using Big Data Analytics techniques to identify energy consumption patterns, potential renewable energy production, and peak load predictions. Furthermore, a decision support system was designed to assist policy makers and city managers in determining optimal energy distribution and usage strategies based on the available data and simulations. The results show that the integration of Big Data and DSS is able to increase the efficiency of renewable energy utilization up to 25% compared to conventional systems. In addition, the system is also able to dynamically respond to changing conditions and provide more accurate and adaptive decision recommendations. These findings indicate that the synergy between data technology and decision support systems plays a strategic role in creating sustainable and environmentally sound smart cities.

This study investigates the influence of financial literacy and lifestyle on financial management among gym members at USB Fitness. Financial literacy refers to the ability to understand and apply financial concepts, while lifestyle encompasses spending patterns, consumption preferences, and daily habits. Low financial literacy combined with a high-consumption lifestyle can negatively impact personal financial management, potentially leading to poor budgeting, excessive debt, and limited savings.The research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The population comprises 60 registered gym members, from which a sample of 52 respondents was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 5%. Data analysis techniques involve both partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) hypothesis testing to assess the effects of the independent variables—financial literacy and lifestyle—on the dependent variable, financial management.The t-test results indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on financial management (t-count = 6.384 > t-table = 2.00958; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05), suggesting that higher financial literacy levels contribute to more effective personal financial practices. Conversely, lifestyle shows no significant effect on financial management (t-count = -0.013; p-value = 0.990 > 0.05), indicating that lifestyle variations among respondents do not directly determine their financial management capabilities.Simultaneous testing through the F-test reveals that financial literacy and lifestyle together have a significant influence on financial management (F-count = 21.333 > F-table = 3.191; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). This suggests that while lifestyle alone may not significantly impact financial management, its interaction with financial literacy can influence financial outcomes.The study concludes that improving financial literacy among gym members is essential for enhancing financial management skills, while lifestyle modifications may only be impactful when supported by strong financial knowledge.

Moral and social education in Islam plays a crucial role in shaping children's character, developing noble character and social responsibility. In this context, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) serves as a prime role model, whose behavior and sayings provide comprehensive guidance for the development of character values. This study aims to analyze authentic hadiths depicting the Prophet's interactions with children to uncover key moral and social values that can be integrated into contemporary Islamic education. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis techniques. Data were collected from relevant authentic hadith literature and then analyzed to identify moral values such as honesty, compassion, justice, empathy, and respect for children's rights. The analysis also considered the historical and social context of the hadiths, allowing interpretations of the values to be tailored to current educational needs. The results show that the Prophet Muhammad taught moral and social principles not only through verbal statements but also through concrete examples in his daily life. For example, he demonstrated gentleness toward children, respected their opinions, appreciated good behavior, and reprimanded them wisely when mistakes occurred. This approach creates an educational pattern that is not authoritarian, but rather builds positive emotional bonds between educators and students. These findings emphasize the relevance of prophetic values in shaping character education in the modern era, which often faces challenges of morality and the degradation of social values. Integrating these values into the curriculum and educational practices in schools and families is expected to produce individuals who are not only intellectually intelligent but also possess high moral integrity and social sensitivity.

This study aims to examine in-depth the forms and types of clauses that appear in everyday conversations on social media, particularly on the Facebook platform. The focus of the study is directed at how social media users form and use clauses in online interactions, and their implications for message comprehension. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques consisting of observations of conversations and interactions between users. The collected data are then analyzed to identify patterns, variations, and characteristics of the clauses used. The results show that the language forms used tend to be non-standard, for example, short sentences, omissions of subject or predicate elements, and the use of informal vocabulary. However, these variations do not hinder the understanding of messages between users. Instead, the use of these forms reflects users' adaptation to the nature of online communication, which demands speed and efficiency. This phenomenon demonstrates the flexibility of language that is constantly evolving in response to changes in social and technological contexts. The research findings confirm that language dynamics in the digital era not only influence clause form and structure but also enrich the variety of contemporary Indonesian discourse. This has important implications for education, particularly in language learning. By understanding the role of clauses in online communication, educators can adapt teaching methods to be more relevant to the linguistic realities faced by students. This research contributes to the study of sociolinguistics and digital communication, while also opening up opportunities for further research. Future, more in-depth studies could explore the influence of online interactions on language development, the relationship between language and culture, and how technology shapes communication patterns in society.  

This study aims to utilize data mining techniques, specifically the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, to classify leaf diseases in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum). Early and accurate detection of leaf disease types is a crucial step in prevention and control strategies, thereby reducing potential crop losses caused by pathogen attacks. Leaf diseases in sugarcane, such as leaf scald, rust, and mosaic virus, are known to affect photosynthesis, inhibit growth, and reduce the quality and quantity of sugarcane produced. The classification process in this study was carried out through image analysis of infected sugarcane leaves, where features such as color, texture, and shape were extracted using digital image processing techniques. The KNN algorithm was chosen because of its non-parametric nature, ease of implementation, and its ability to provide accurate classification results even with limited data size. The working principle of KNN is to determine the class of a new sample based on the majority class of its k nearest neighbors in the feature space, making it very suitable for the case of leaf disease image classification. In addition to building a classification model, this study also examines disease prevention strategies based on the identification results. These strategies include the use of disease-resistant sugarcane varieties, the implementation of appropriate planting patterns, land moisture management, regular plantation sanitation, and the measured and environmentally friendly use of pesticides or fungicides. Model performance evaluation was conducted using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics to assess model effectiveness across various data scenarios. The results of this study are expected to not only contribute to the development of decision support systems for farmers and related parties but also support the application of artificial intelligence-based technology in the agricultural sector.

Making batik designs requires the ability to visualize ideas for motifs or decorations. This process relies on the ability to move the visual processing process which was originally still an idea into something real, which can be seen in the form of an image. The ability to visualize is important because from this process motifs, patterns and decorations can be created. This work is quite complicated, requires precision, patience and takes time. When there are many orders, the work of drawing motifs must be faster. One solution to speed up making drawings is to use computer graphics to help create innovative written batik designs in a shorter time than if done manually. Through community service activities, the application of computer graphics technology for batik design innovation at the Pandansari Plupuh Sragen Batik Business uses training methods delivered offline and online. This is because both trainers and participants take time out of their busy work schedules. The participants are employees in the design department who are able to use computers. Through one face-to-face meeting for explanation and four online meetings for practice which aims to improve participants' skills in making various kinds of motifs. The result is a new design that can be completed relatively quickly compared to if it was done manually.
