Ngesrepbalong Village in Limbangan District, Kendal, is known to be prone to landslides. Landslide mitigation through planting deep-rooted trees. This village was classified as a developing village until the end of 2023. Efforts to realize Ngesrepbalong as an avocado center required intensifying superior avocado cultivation, which involved mass availability of seeds. The problem was that the rootstock in avocado grafting was limited because one avocado only produced one seed. The production problems of the target partners of "Gunung Berkah" were overcome through socialization, training, implementation, assistance, monitoring and evaluation, and ensuring its sustainability by splitting avocado seeds/embryos into at least 2 or more. The community service activities showed that 100% of seed splitting results succeeded in growing into standard rootstock, which then became 150 superior avocado seedlings through grafting. The difference in rootstock was only in its height. For the efficiency of rootstock propagation for the Gunung Berkah group in the future, it is recommended that seed/embryo splitting be combined with the treatment of cutting the bottom of the avocado seed, giving growth hormones, and using the right planting media. The availability of avocado rootstock accelerated the availability of seeds for the intensification of superior avocado cultivation towards the realization of Ngesrepbalong as a superior avocado center.

The ease of investing in the digital era has driven Generation Z to dominate stock market participation, particularly in blue-chip stocks such as PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk (BBRI). However, stock price fluctuations influenced by macroeconomic factors, regulations, and global market sentiment make it difficult for investors to make accurate decisions. Decisions based on insufficient information pose a significant risk of loss, especially for novice investors. This study proposes a hybrid LSTM-XGBoost approach for predicting BBRI stock prices, combining the strengths of LSTM in capturing nonlinear time series patterns and XGBoost's effectiveness in reducing prediction errors. The model leverages both historical data and feature extraction outputs from the LSTM model. Future stock price values are then predicted by XGBoost using this combined dataset. The Hybrid LSTM XGBoost model outperforms the individual base models in terms of prediction accuracy, achieving an RMSE of 117.89, MAE of 92.45, and MAPE of 2.21%.

The increasing competition among fast food restaurants in urban areas has made consumers more selective in their purchasing decisions, with price and product quality emerging as key determinants. This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived price and perceived product quality on consumer purchasing decisions at Subway fast food restaurants in East Bekasi. A quantitative approach was applied using a structured questionnaire distributed to 50 consumers. Data were analyzed through multiple linear regression and classical assumption testing. The results indicate that price has a significant and positive effect on purchasing decisions, with a regression coefficient of 1.191 and a partial determination coefficient (R²) of 0.750, suggesting that price alone explains 75% of the decision variance. Similarly, perceived product quality also demonstrates a significant positive effect with a coefficient of 0.469 and R² of 0.724. When combined, both variables explain 72.4% of the variance in purchasing decisions, with the F-test result of 91.673 surpassing the critical value of 3.20. These findings suggest that consumers in East Bekasi prioritize both affordability and quality when choosing fast food. This research contributes to the literature by validating the dual importance of economic and experiential value in fast food marketing strategies, especially in highly competitive suburban environments.

In today’s dynamic industrial environment, optimizing employee performance has become a strategic imperative for organizational sustainability. Among the factors that significantly influence workforce outcomes, the physical work environment and leadership style stand out as pivotal drivers. This study explores how these two variables affect employee performance within PT. MPIW, a prominent manufacturing firm in Jakarta. Employing a quantitative approach, data were obtained through structured questionnaires from 50 purposively selected respondents working in logistics, production, and purchasing divisions. Using IBM SPSS Statistics 21, the analysis revealed compelling insights. The work environment demonstrated a strong and positive influence on employee performance (t = 11.883, p < 0.001), affirming that factors such as spatial adequacy, safety, and interpersonal dynamics play a crucial role in enhancing productivity. Surprisingly, leadership style exerted a negative and statistically significant effect (t = -3.880, p < 0.001), suggesting that the prevailing authoritarian tendencies may undermine employee morale and engagement. The joint influence of both variables was also found to be significant (F = 86.518, p < 0.001), underscoring their combined relevance in shaping performance outcomes. This study contributes a critical perspective on organizational behavior in the manufacturing sector by integrating environmental and managerial dimensions into a unified analytical model. The findings underscore the need for adaptive, participatory leadership approaches and strategic enhancement of workplace conditions to drive sustainable performance improvements.

This study is significant as it addresses the need for contextual digital da’wah in a village with high media access but limited da’wah strategies and low digital religious literacy among youth through TikTok and Instagram. It explains the role of social media as a means of Islamic preaching to deepen religious understanding among Generation Z. This research employs a mixed-methods approach using observation, documentation, interviews, and survey techniques to analyze Generation Z’s responses to digital da’wah through data condensation, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and source triangulation. The findings reveal: (1) Generation Z prefers TikTok and Instagram for accessing da’wah content due to its short, visual, and relevant format. However, the level of digital interaction remains low and requires a more interactive approach. (2) Survey results show that Generation Z's da’wah strategies are effective through relaxed, humorous, relevant, and digitally adaptive approaches, with an average score of 4.688, indicating a positive impact. (3) The main challenges of digital da’wah for Generation Z include limited internet quota, low digital literacy, the risk of misinformation, and the need for more relevant da’wah content addressing youth issues such as bullying and identity crises through a more applicable psycho-educational approach. The conclusion highlights that Generation Z needs short, relevant, and interactive da’wah content supporting digital literacy to overcome challenges and religious misinformation.
