The prevalence of diabetic ulcers in Indonesia reaches 12-15% of all sufferers. This condition has an impact on the patient's psychological condition in the form of anxiety due to wounds that are difficult to heal, changes in body image, and concerns about the possibility of amputation. One of the nonpharmacological interventions that can help overcome anxiety is the slow deep breathing technique. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to carry out Nursing Care for Mrs. M with Diagnosis of Diabetic Ulcers using the application of slow deep breathing intervention in reducing anxiety at Az-Zahra Hospital. The writing method is a nursing care process that includes the stages of study, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The subject of care was Mrs. M, a patient with diabetic ulcers in the inpatient room of Az-Zahra Hospital. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, documentation studies, and physical examinations, and using a medical-surgical nursing care assessment format. The ethical principles applied use the principles of Nursing Ethics. The results of nursing care showed that after three days of slow deep breathing intervention, patients reported feeling calmer, sleeping better, and anxiety levels decreased from moderate to mild based on observation results and anxiety scales used. This suggests that slow deep breathing interventions are effective in helping to reduce anxiety in patients with diabetic ulcers. It is hoped that patients and families can continue these breathing exercises independently as part of stress management efforts and quality of life improvement.  

Savings and Loan Cooperatives (KSP) play a vital role in expanding community access to capital, especially within the informal sector. Nevertheless, non-performing loans remain a persistent challenge that can threaten liquidity and long-term institutional sustainability. KSP CU Mera Ndi Ate faces similar issues, which are assumed to stem not only from administrative weaknesses but also from members’ perceptions and behavioral factors. This research aims to examine the potential causes of non-performing loans through text-based sentiment analysis using an unsupervised learning approach. A quantitative method with a data mining framework was applied. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, documentation, and 200 customer opinion texts processed using the Orange Data Mining application. The analytical stages included preprocessing, corpus development, feature extraction, sentiment clustering, and visualization. Because the dataset lacked predefined labels, unsupervised learning was used to identify naturally emerging sentiment patterns. Findings reveal a predominance of critical sentiments related to credit assessment procedures and service quality. The highest sentiment score (75) concerned insufficient creditworthiness evaluation, followed by concerns about service efficiency (66.6667). These insights suggest that improving assessment accuracy and service quality may help reduce non-performing loans.

Stock price prediction remains a complex challenge due to the dynamic and non-linear nature of financial markets, especially for banking stocks like PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BBNI). This study aims to optimize BBNI stock price forecasting by integrating an automated Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) pipeline with the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm within a data engineering framework. Historical data from 2019 to 2025 were processed through a structured ETL sequence—including data cleaning, feature engineering, and MinMaxScaler normalization—to ensure high data quality. The dataset was partitioned into 80% for model training and 20% for testing to ensure rigorous evaluation. The results demonstrate that the systematic ETL approach significantly enhances model stability and predictive accuracy compared to conventional methods. The LSTM model effectively captured long-term temporal dependencies, providing reliable trend forecasts with an impressive test accuracy, achieving a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.0354. This research underscores that integrating robust data engineering practices with deep learning is essential for building resilient financial decision-support systems.

In the rapidly evolving digital economy, the ability to anticipate transaction surges is a strategic asset for marketplace platforms to maintain operational efficiency. This research aims to build an accurate daily transaction volume forecasting system thru the implementation of an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) pipeline and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) predictive modeling. The dataset used is sourced from dataset_olshop.csv, which includes transaction history for the entire year of 2025. The ETL stage focused on data cleaning and handling missing values, while time series analysis began with the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) stationarity test, which yielded a significant p-value of 0.000006. The parameter model was optimized using the auto_arima algorithm, which determined the ARIMA(2,0,0) configuration as the best model. The evaluation results of the model show fairly stable performance with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) value of 2.002 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 1.704 on the test data. Research findings reveal a consistently higher purchasing pattern during the mid-month and end-of-month periods, with an average of 5.52 daily transactions, compared to the beginning of the month, which saw 5.48 transactions. The 30-day forecast results provide valuable insights for online store managers to proactively adjust inventory and logistics workforce allocation strategies. This research concludes that integrating data engineering techniques and statistical analysis can provide predictive solutions for the dynamics of the digital market.

The assessment of students’ academic performance in higher education is generally still dominated by conventional numerical approaches, which are less capable of representing qualitative and subjective variables such as classroom activeness and student participation. These approaches often result in evaluations that are not holistic and do not fully reflect students’ overall academic achievements. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the concept of fuzzy logic as a support tool for assessing students’ academic performance in higher education, with a case study of students at Universitas Asahan. The research method employs a descriptive qualitative and quantitative approach by applying Mamdani fuzzy logic. The input variables consist of exam scores, assignment scores, and classroom activeness, while the system output is the category of academic performance, namely sufficient, good, and very good. The sample data consist of ten active undergraduate students from Universitas Asahan. The data processing stages include fuzzification, the construction of fuzzy rules (rule base), fuzzy inference, and defuzzification using the centroid method. The results indicate that fuzzy logic is able to integrate quantitative and qualitative variables and accommodate uncertainty in academic assessment. The resulting evaluation is more proportional and realistic compared to conventional assessment methods based solely on average scores. Therefore, fuzzy logic can be considered an effective and flexible alternative approach to support student academic performance assessment systems in higher education.

This study aims to analyze the effect of price and product quality on purchasing decisions of Gudang Garam Signature Kretek cigarettes in the premium machine-made kretek segment. The Indonesian tobacco industry continues to face sustained regulatory pressure through excise tax increases and intensifying brand competition, prompting consumers to reassess purchasing decisions using both rational evaluation and experiential judgment. A quantitative correlational approach was employed in this study. Primary data were collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 100 active consumers of Gudang Garam Signature Kretek selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted through validity testing, reliability testing, and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS software. The results indicate that price and product quality have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, both partially and simultaneously. Product quality emerged as the most dominant factor, suggesting that premium cigarette consumers prioritize consistent quality, taste, aroma, and overall consumption experience as the primary basis for decision-making. Meanwhile, price remains an important rational reference for assessing the fairness between perceived benefits and financial sacrifice. Simultaneously, both variables explain 50 percent of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining variance is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings highlight that purchasing decisions in the premium cigarette market are shaped by a value-based assessment, where sustained product quality and adaptive pricing strategies play a critical role in maintaining consumer loyalty amid regulatory pressure and evolving market dynamics

This study aims to analyze the strategic management of disaster services in handling flood-affected communities in Surabaya City. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with an analytical framework of strategic management theory according to Wheelen and Hunger (2008), which includes four main stages: environmental observation, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. Data were obtained through documentation studies, field observations, and secondary data searches from official reports from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and relevant online sources. The results show that the BPBD of East Java Province has implemented a systematic strategic management cycle in disaster services. During the environmental observation stage, the BPBD was able to identify the main threat in the form of the dominance of hydrometeorological disasters, particularly floods. During the strategy formulation stage, the BPBD established a mission, objectives, and strategic policies focused on disaster risk reduction, increasing community preparedness, and strengthening cross-sectoral coordination. Strategy implementation is realized through mitigation, preparedness, and emergency response programs, as well as the utilization of early warning systems and command centers. Meanwhile, evaluation and control are carried out continuously through monitoring disaster events and adjusting policies based on actual conditions in the field. The flood-affected community management strategy demonstrates a responsive and collaborative approach, despite still facing structural challenges such as tidal flooding and limited drainage infrastructure. This study concludes that implementing strategic management based on the theory of Wheelen and Hunger (2008) can improve the effectiveness of disaster services, but requires strengthening long-term mitigation and community empowerment.

The development of bioinformatics has led to the availability of large amounts of genetic data through public databases such as NCBI Gene, OMIM, and Ensembl. However, the complexity of data presentation and the dominance of English language hinder students, novice researchers, and the general public in understanding the relationship between genes and disease. This research aims to develop a simple web-based information system to identify disease-causing genes with concise, Indonesian-language, and user-friendly information presentation. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), which includes literature study, needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and evaluation. The system was developed using a MySQL relational database with a web interface that displays basic gene information, chromosome location, biological function, and gene-disease relationships, complete with simple visualizations. Black Box testing results indicate that all main functions run according to user requirements. This system is expected to improve bioinformatics literacy and become an effective learning medium.

Arrhythmias are generally classified into two groups: disorders of impulse formation and disorders of impulse conduction. Cardiac arrhythmias can also be categorized into three main types: supraventricular arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmias. One of the most commonly encountered arrhythmias in clinical practice is Atrial fibrillation. This study employed a case study method using a nursing process approach. The subjects consisted of two patients: Mrs. S, a 74-year-old female, and Mr. R, a 44-year-old male. The nursing intervention administered was antiarrhythmic therapy using intravenous digoxin. Evaluation was conducted by monitoring the patients’ heart rate and cardiac rhythm using an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor. The results of the case studies in both patients showed that digoxin therapy produced a positive therapeutic response, as evidenced by a gradual reduction in heart rate. However, ECG monitoring revealed no significant changes in cardiac rhythm. These findings suggest that digoxin is effective for rate control, although it does not restore sinus rhythm.

The utilization of biopore infiltration holes has become one of the simple and effective innovations in environmental management and soil resource conservation, with great potential to support a healthy environment. This community service activity aims to enhance farmers' understanding of the use of biopore infiltration holes as an effort for soil and water conservation as well as sustainable organic waste management. The outreach was conducted on September 7, 2024, at the Kesambi Village Hall, Pucuk District, Lamongan Regency, targeting 12 members of the farmer group. The implementation method of the activity included preparation stages, conducting a pretest, delivering material along with interactive discussions, and concluding with a posttest as an evaluation of the participants' understanding improvement. The results of the activity indicate an increase in the average knowledge score of participants from 81.25 in the pretest to 97.92 in the posttest. This demonstrates that the socialization method applied was effective in enhancing farmers' understanding of the functions, production techniques, and benefits of biopores. This activity is expected to encourage the independent implementation of biopores by farmer groups, both at the household and agricultural levels, as part of environmentally friendly and sustainable land management practices.

In Surabaya City, the City Government through the Transportation Agency developed the Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi programs to address traffic congestion, limited public transportation, and the need for safe, comfortable, and environmentally friendly transportation. However, complaints are still found regarding limited facilities, irregular schedules, and suboptimal communication services, so that service performance evaluation is needed from the user's perspective. This study aims to analyze the performance of Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi public transportation services at the Surabaya City Transportation Agency using five public service performance indicators according to Dwiyanto et al. (2021), namely productivity, service quality, responsiveness, responsibility, and accountability. The approach used is quantitative with the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The results of the study show an average expectation score (importance) of 4.18 and a reality score (performance) of 3.86 with an overall gap of -0.32, which means that the performance of Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi services still does not meet public expectations. Through the IPA mapping, three attributes are in Quadrant I (high priority): the friendly and professional attitude of staff, the adequacy of on-board facilities, and the transparency of official information regarding schedules and service changes. A total of 13 attributes are in Quadrant II (maintained), 13 attributes in Quadrant III (low priority), and one attribute in Quadrant IV (excessive).
