This study proposes a hybrid approach combining Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) and Algorithms and Genetic Algorithm for product layout optimization with a case study at PT. MPI Pharmacy. The FIM Algorithms is employed to extract association rules from 1,000 beauty product sales transactions, while the Genetic Algorithm is utilized to perform product placement based on these rules generated, with storage space constraints. Implementation results demonstrate that this hybrid approach successfully identifies 18 key association rules (support >15, confidence >80%) and proposes an optimal layout configuration model that reduces customer travel distance by 25 compared to conventional layouts used by MPI Pharmacy. The Genetic Algorithm solves complex rule-based optimization problems for product placement, which are limited by traditional market basket analysis (MBA) approaches that rely solely on association rules. This hybrid sistem not only improves pharmacy operational efficiency at PT MPI (reducing service time by 18) but also increases cross-selling opportunities by 22. Hence, inventory operations management impproved efficiently. The research findings contribute to the field of retail space optimization by effectively integrating association rule mining and evolutionary computation.  

The coastal area of Manado City, particularly the estuary of the Bailang River in Bunaken District, frequently experiences inundation due to the complex interaction between river discharge and tidal fluctuations. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution and extent of flooding resulting from the combination of river discharge and tides, as well as to evaluate mitigation strategies based on numerical modeling results. A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was developed using MIKE 21 Flow Model FM HD, utilizing topographic and bathymetric data from DEMNAS and BATNAS, along with 2023 river discharge and tidal data. Simulations were conducted for existing conditions, minimum discharge with maximum tide, and maximum discharge with maximum tide. The results show that tidal influence significantly contributes to the increase in flood extent and duration, especially when high river discharge coincides with peak tidal conditions. The most affected areas are Kelurahan Molas and Tumumpa, located along the riverbanks and near the fish auction port, with inundation covering up to 4.973 hectares and water depths exceeding 0.5 meters. Recommended mitigation strategies include river normalization and the implementation of a real-time hydrodynamic early warning system. This study supports flood risk management and coastal spatial planning, serving as a technical reference for local government policy-making.

This study analyzes the flexural behavior of reinforced geopolymer concrete beams through numerical simulation based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) using ANSYS software, comparing it with conventional reinforced concrete beams. The background of this research focuses on the need for environmentally friendly construction materials, considering the high CO₂ emissions from Portland cement production. The numerical model was developed based on parameters and loading schemes from previous experimental studies, utilizing SOLID65 elements for concrete, LINK180 for steel reinforcement, and SOLID185 for supports. Simulation results show that the flexural behaviour of geopolymer beams is comparable to conventional beams in terms of load-deflection relationships, flexural capacity, and crack patterns, with deviations from experimental data generally below 10%. The patterns and propagation of cracks also exhibited similarities, starting from the tensile zone at mid-span. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates consistency with the analytical approach based on SNI 2847:2019. This research supports the validity of using geopolymer concrete as a sustainable structural material alternative and shows that the FEM numerical method is effective in evaluating the flexural performance of concrete structural elements.

Hypertension is a common health problem in the elderly that is often unrealized, so it requires effective education to improve blood pressure management. This study aims to determine the effect of DASH diet education on knowledge and compliance with blood pressure control in hypertensive elderly at the Surabaya Elderly Posyandu.

Literature is born from the human desire to express their existence, which is closely related to the relationship between individuals and with the reality of life. A literary work contains specific intentions and purposes set by the author. Therefore, all aspects of a literary work originate from the author, who plays a crucial role in generating creative ideas that are expressed through their writings.In line with technological advancements, literature has also undergone transformation. One of the indicators of this progress is the emergence of intersemiotic transfer or adaptation, namely the process of changing the medium through which a literary work is presented, such as from text to audiovisual or film. In this context, the researcher examines the adaptation process from novel to film as the object of study.The object of this research is the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was later adapted into a film by director Baz Luhrmann, released in 2013 under the same title. The novel portrays the life of the American upper class during the 1920s, an era often referred to as the Roaring Twenties.This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative research aims to describe and analyze social phenomena and activities found in the research object. The data were collected through reading, observing, and note-taking techniques, involving both the novel and the film script. In total, the researcher collected 12 data points from the analysis of the novel and its film adaptation.

In the era of globalization and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in the 21st century, critical thinking skills become a crucial competence that students must master. However, based on preliminary observations and previous research, it was found that many high school students lacked the ability to think critically in the learning process, especially in Islamic Education subjects. This research aims to find out how the problem solving method affects the critical thinking skills of students in PAI subjects in class XI of Purwakarta State High School 3. This research uses a quantitative approach with the one group pre-test post-test pre-experimental method. The research results showed that the average pre-test and post-test scores increased by 29.4%, the wilxocon hypothesis test also showed a significant influence from the application of problem solving methods in improving students' critical thinking skills. However, the results of the N-Gain calculation show that the effectiveness of the increase is in a low category. This indicates that although the problem solving method has a significant impact, the magnitude of the impact or effectiveness is still not optimal.

The development of modern Muslim fashion has significantly transformed the way Muslims express their identity, especially in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population. However, the growing popularity of “modest wear” fashion does not always align with Islamic principles as taught in the Hadiths. This study aims to explore the Islamic dress code based on thematic Hadith analysis (maudhū’ī), identify core dressing principles in Islam, and evaluate their implementation within the modern Muslim fashion culture. This research applies a qualitative method through library research, employing the thematic approach to collect and analyze Prophetic traditions related to clothing. The findings reveal that Islamic principles of dress include covering the ‘awrah (private parts), avoiding excessive adornment (tabarruj), refraining from imitating the opposite gender or non-Muslim cultures, and upholding modesty and dignity. These hadiths offer ethical guidance that is not only normative but also practical in the modern socio-cultural context. The study concludes that modern Muslim fashion can serve as an effective medium for visual da'wah if it remains aligned with Hadith-based values. The synergy between religious principles and creative design can form a relevant and dignified Islamic lifestyle rooted in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad saw.

In the modern era, approaches to understanding hadith have undergone significant transformations, necessitating more systematic and contextualized methodologies. Thematic hadith studies (mawḍū‘ī) have emerged as a methodological solution capable of integrating the Prophet’s teachings with contemporary realities in a more comprehensive manner. This research aims to examine the concept, history, and development of the thematic methodology in hadith studies. The primary focus is to explore the epistemology of this approach and its implications within modern Islamic academic discourse. This study employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were collected through the analysis of primary and secondary literature, then analyzed using descriptive-analytical and historical-critical methods. The findings indicate that while the thematic method has existed since the classical era, its conceptual maturity has advanced significantly in the contemporary period. This approach has proven effective in addressing the issue of ikhtilāf al-ḥadīth, clarifying inter-narration relationships, and expanding the scope of hadith understanding according to the needs of the time. However, its main challenges include potential subjectivity in interpretation and the need for stricter methodologies in validating both sanad and matn. Therefore, thematic hadith studies serve as a bridge between classical understanding and modern academic demands. Its implications extend beyond the development of hadith science to the continued relevance of Islamic teachings in addressing contemporary intellectual and social challenges.

The low proportion of Grade A harvest quality in Hokkaido corn farming remains a challenge for horticultural agribusiness practitioners. This study aims to develop an operational strategy based on a managerial evaluation of key production factors to improve technical efficiency and harvest quality. The research was conducted at PT Agricole Indonesia Makmur, Cianjur, using data from 24 planting periods in 2024.
