The performance evaluation of student organizations (Ormawa) at Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis is an essential part of the end-of-term management assessment, serving as a form of accountability and a basis for future development. The manual process used so far often takes considerable time and is prone to errors. To address this issue, a web-based decision support system was developed using the Multi-Factor Evaluation Process (MFEP) method, which applies a weighting system in the decision-making process. The system was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach, enabling a fast and efficient development process through a linear and sequential methodology. The implementation of the MFEP method in the system achieved an accuracy rate of 88.88%, based on a comparison between field data and system processing results.

Education is the main pillar in the development of quality human resources, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) as a basic education institution has an important role in shaping students' character, knowledge and skills at an early age. However, the challenges faced in education in MI are often related to less innovative teaching methods, which have an impact on students' low learning motivation and academic results. The constructivist approach, which emphasizes the active role of students in the learning process, has been proven effective in improving the quality of learning. However, its application in teacher education in MI is still limited. This study aims to explore the application of the constructivist approach in teacher education in MI and its implications for learning quality. By applying this approach, it is expected that prospective teachers can develop better pedagogical skills, understand the different learning styles of students, and meet the demands of a curriculum that emphasizes 21st century skills. The research also highlights the importance of creating an inclusive learning environment where all students can actively participate. The results of the study are expected to contribute significantly to the development of education in Indonesia, particularly in the context of basic education, as well as providing insights into the integration of constructivist approaches in the teacher education curriculum at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mechanism of implementing payroll deductions for civil servants (ASN) in South Lampung in relation to zakat payment compliance in South Lampung Regency, as well as to determine whether the payroll deduction mechanism is in accordance with Islamic principles. This research employs a qualitative approach. The results of the study conclude that the implementation of payroll deductions, based on the circular letter from the Regent, has not had an impact on the zakat payment compliance of South Lampung ASN. Moreover, the payroll deduction mechanism does not yet align with the proper conditions for zakat payment. The payroll deduction for South Lampung ASN cannot be considered as genuine zakat, as not all civil servants in South Lampung receive a salary or allowance amounting to seven million rupiah, which is the threshold for professional zakat (zakat on income).

This study develops an image processing application to automatically detect the ripeness level of tomatoes using the YCbCr color space transformation. This method is effective because it is able to separate the luminance and chrominance components, so it can identify color changes that indicate the ripeness level of tomatoes, namely unripe, semi-ripe, and ripe tomatoes. The application is designed with matlab and uses a GUI interface that makes it easy for users to upload and process images. Based on trials on image samples, the system is able to classify tomato ripeness with 100% accuracy on a limited test dataset. The classification process is based on three main parameters: the red area ratio, the average value of the Cr channel, and the average value of the Cb channel. The results of the study indicate that this approach can be used as a digital solution in the automatic and efficient tomato sorting process
