Poverty is a serious problem in Indonesia, including in North Sumatra. Various factors include the human development index (HDI) and unemployment rate. This research aims to analyze the influence of the Human Development Index (HDI) and unemployment on the poverty rate in North Sumatra using the method multiple linear regression to analyze secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of North Sumatra. The variables used in this research are the HDI and unemployment, while the dependent variable is the poverty level. The results of the research show that the HDI and the unemployment rate have a significant influence on the poverty level.

Purpose: The presence of a two-month lag in Hotel Room Occupancy Rate (TPK) data necessitates an alternative method to accommodate adjustments in the economic circumstances of the tourism industry. In this context, TPK is connected to the influx of tourists, making the data a valuable resource for assessing the tourism potential of a particular area. The information can be used to make informed decisions when considering investments in the local tourism industry. Therefore, this research aimed to formulate predictions for future trends using now-forecasting. The variables of Google Trends Index (IGT) and online traveler reviews considered were obtained from big data.
Methods: This research used machine learning methods with Random Forest, LSTM, and CNN-BiLSTM-Attention models in determining the best model. Meanwhile, the datasets were acquired from diverse secondary data sources. Hotel Occupancy Rooms Rate was derived from BPS-Statistics Indonesia, while additional data were collected through web scraping from online travel agency websites such as Tripadvisor.com, IGT with keywords “IKN”, “hotel”, and “banjir”. For the sentiment variable from online reviews, lag effects of one, two, and three months were analyzed to determine the correlation with TPK. The highest correlation was selected for inclusion in the prediction model across all machine learning methods.
Result: The results showed that the use of IGT and online traveler reviews increased the precision of forecasting models. The best model of hotel TPK nowcasting was Random Forest Regression with the lowest MAPE value and accuracy of 5.37% and 94.63%, respectively.
Novelty: The proposed method showed great potential in improving the prediction of hotel TPK by leveraging new technology and extensive data sources. The correlation with TPK decreases with an increasing time lag of sentiment. Therefore, the sentiment of reviews in the current month has the highest correlation with TPK, compared to the previous one, two, or three months.

Higher education must adapt its educational practices to ICT, which is now developed rapidly. There are many different approaches, and constructivism-based e-module development is an alternative. This research used the R&D method by adapting the ADDIE development model, which aimed to produce constructivism-based e-module products that meet the criteria of being valid, effective, and practical for use in the learning process. The e-module developed was validated using an expert validation questionnaire filled out by two expert validators, with a result of 4.32, which was included in the valid category. The effectiveness of the e-module was obtained by 100% of students achieving learning completeness scores and increasing learning outcomes based on a normalized gain analysis of 0.71 (high category). The results of the e-module practicality test showed positive student responses, where 86.67% of statements were included in the very strong category and 13.33% in the strong category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the constructivism-based general biology learning e-module developed is valid, practical, and effective.
 
 

Obesity, characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, increases susceptibility to chronic disease and adversely impacts overall quality of life. Elderly people often exhibit higher fat mass and lower muscle mass and bone density, influenced by reduced physical activity, hormonal changes, and metabolic adjustments. Visceral fat accumulation is of particular concern because of its association with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework to screen for obesity in the elderly using Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference measurements. Activities were held at St. Fransiskus Assisi, Jakarta involving 36 participants. The study revealed that 16 participants (44.5%) and 30 people (83.3%) were obese and centrally obese, respectively. Early detection and intervention through anthropometric measurements are very important in managing health risks related to obesity in the elderly, so as to improve their quality of life and reduce morbidity and mortality.
