The study employed a qualitative descriptive method using a purposive sampling technique. The research subjects consisted of 36 students from various study programs at FMIPA Universitas Negeri Surabaya who had been involved in research activities and scientific proposal writing. Data were collected through student response questionnaires consisting of closed-ended and open-ended questions. The data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and narrative descriptions. The results showed that most students had understood the existing student research programs and were familiar with the use of research guidelines. However, students still faced difficulties in systematically organizing research ideas, determining research variables and methods, finding relevant literature reviews, and connecting theories from various references. In addition, time management and the use of citation management applications were also obstacles for some students. Therefore, more structured assistance is needed through scientific writing training, reference searching training, and the use of citation management applications to improve the quality of students’ scientific writing.

This study aims to compare the performance of Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Random Forest Regression (RFR) in predicting student performance based on academic scores. Student performance is defined as the average of math scores, Reading Scores, and writing scores. This study uses a quantitative approach with a comparative design based on predictive modeling. The data used is secondary data from the Student Prediction dataset obtained through the Kaggle platform, which was processed using the Python programming language through the Google Colab platform. The analysis stages included the formation of performance variables, the separation of training and test data with a ratio of 80:20, model training, and evaluation using the Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R²) metrics. The results show that the Multiple Linear Regression model produced an MSE value of 2.74 × 10⁻²⁸, an MAE of 1.51 × 10⁻¹⁴, and an R² of 1.000. Meanwhile, Random Forest Regression produced an MSE of 0.296, an MAE of 0.375, and an R² of 0.998. These findings indicate that both models have a very high level of accuracy, but Multiple Linear Regression provides the best performance. This is due to the strong linear relationship between the input variables and the target variables formed directly from the combination of academic values. Thus, the linear regression model is proven to be more suitable for use in data structures that have simple linear relationships compared to ensemble-based models.

This study aims to examine the influence of financial literacy, financial technology, and financial behavior on investment decisions among students at the Universitas Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia Semarang. The data used in this study is primary data, obtained through the distribution of questionnaires via Google Forms to students at the Universitas Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia Semarang. The population of this study consists of students from the university, and the sampling technique used is probability sampling with purposive sampling. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%. The analysis tool used in this study is SPSS 26 to process and analyze the data. This study tests three hypotheses: H1, which states that financial literacy does not significantly affect investment decisions, H2, which states that financial technology does not significantly affect investment decisions, and H3, which states that financial behavior significantly affects investment decisions. The results of the study indicate that H1 is accepted, meaning that financial literacy does not significantly influence investment decisions. On H2, the results also show that financial technology does not significantly affect investment decisions. However, for H3, the results show that financial behavior significantly influences investment decisions. Therefore, it can be concluded that while financial literacy and financial technology do not have a significant impact on students' investment decisions, financial behavior plays a more dominant role in influencing their investment decisions. This study provides valuable insights for universities and other educational institutions to focus more on improving students' financial behavior as a strategic step in enhancing the quality of investment decisions

This community service activity was motivated by the need for an efficient and structured library management system at MI Hidayatul Ulum. Previously, book recording, borrowing, and reporting were done manually, creating administrative challenges and limiting access to information for students and teachers. To address these challenges, the community service team implemented a web-based library information system designed to simplify collection management, facilitate book searches, and expedite the borrowing and return process. The implementation method included partner needs analysis, system design and installation, training for staff and teachers, and evaluation of implementation results. The system was designed to be accessible through the school's local network with a simple and user-friendly interface. Training was provided to ensure the school was able to utilize and manage the system independently. The results showed that the implementation of this information system improved library management efficiency and expanded user access to information. Teachers could more easily monitor book collections, while students found it easier to search for and borrow books. Furthermore, the system accelerated administrative processes and reduced the risk of recording errors. Another positive impact was the growth of a technology-based literacy culture within the madrasah. With the availability of faster book search and borrowing services, students' interest in reading increased. A participatory approach involving schools from the planning stage through evaluation ensures that the resulting solutions meet needs and can be implemented sustainably. This community service activity is expected to serve as a model for implementing simple technology that has a real impact on improving the quality of basic education services.

The maritime industry operates in a complex, rapidly evolving global environment where decision-making accuracy is critical for operational efficiency, sustainability, and risk mitigation. Traditionally, maritime leadership has relied heavily on experience-based decision-making, often leading to cognitive biases and strategic inefficiencies. This study examines the role of scientific paradigms in managerial decision-making, emphasizing how structured epistemological reasoning enhances strategic accuracy and reduces decision-making errors. This research provides original value by addressing the limited integration of structured decision-making models in maritime leadership, which has been largely overlooked in previous studies. While scientific reasoning has transformed decision-making in industries such as finance and healthcare, its application in maritime management remains underdeveloped. The study explores the following research questions: To what extent do scientific paradigms influence managerial decision-making in maritime leadership? How can structured reasoning reduce bias and improve decision accuracy? Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with maritime experts, lecturers, and postgraduate students, followed by thematic analysis and comparative evaluation. Results indicate that structured decision frameworks significantly improve managerial effectiveness, yet barriers such as industry conservatism and limited competency development hinder widespread adoption. The study concludes that integrating scientific reasoning into maritime leadership training programs can enhance decision accuracy, promote evidence-based management, and ensure sustainable strategic planning.
