Shifts in lifestyle patterns, infrastructure development, and changes in government policies have had a significant impact on how properties are marketed in Indonesia. With a growing population and increasing purchasing power, the Indonesian property market is becoming more complex. Therefore, strategies are needed to segment consumer groups for effective marketing in the housing sector. This research will delve deeper into consumer segmentation in home selection, a technique that divides consumer diversity into distinct groups based on characteristics and behavior. By using an extensive dataset involving demographic data such as location, age, gender, occupation, and many other variables, clustering algorithms can uncover complex patterns to determine consumer segments in their home selection. The algorithms to be used for this study are K-Means clustering, the Gaussian Mixture model, and Hierarchical clustering. By using these three data clustering models, we can determine which algorithm produces the most ideal results for customer profiling. The results demonstrate that the K-Means algorithm outperforms the others in accurately identifying distinct consumer segments, hence producing customer profiles. Therefore, customer profiling can also be used by the marketing division as a tool to aid in promotions in order to better understand their target audience, hence creating a successful marketing campaign.</p> Made Dhanita Listra Prashanti Dewi Ito Wasito Copyright (c) 2024 Made Dhanita Listra Prashanti Dewi, Ito Wasito http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2116 2124 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13888 A Comparative Study of Alternative Automatic Labeling Using AI Assistant https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13950 <p>The development of AI assistants has become increasingly sophisticated, as evidenced by their growing adoption in assisting humans with various tasks. In particular, AI assistants have demonstrated potential in the field of sentiment analysis, where they can automate the labeling of text data. Traditionally, this labeling process has been performed manually by humans or using tools like the VADER Lexicon. This study is imperative to evaluate the performance of AI Assistants in sentiment labeling, as compared to traditional human-based labeling and the application of the VADER sentiment analysis algorithm. The methodology involves comparing the labeling results of Gemini and You AI with those of human labeling and VADER. Performance is evaluated using the Naive Bayes and K- Nearest Neighbour algorithms, and K-Fold Cross Validation is employed for evaluation. The results indicate that the performance of both AI assistants can closely approximate the performance of human labeling. Gemini's best accuracy is achieved with the k-NN algorithm at 53.71%, while You AI's best accuracy is achieved with the Naive Bayes algorithm at 48.30%. These results are close to the accuracy of human labeling (61.12%) using the k-NN algorithm and VADER (54.29%) using the Naive Bayes algorithm. This suggests that AI assistants can serve as an alternative for text data labeling, as the differences in performance are not statistically significant.</p> Indri Tri Julianto Dede Kurniadi Benedicto B.

ARIMA is a prediction method that can capture trend patterns, seasonal cycles, and random fluctuations that are often found in patterned data. Although many samples of rain data collection points are needed to produce denser data, one point can be considered to represent an area that is not too large, such as Semarang City. This method is quite accurate for short-term forecasts, with the results of monthly maximum rainfall forecasts in 2023 showing varying MAPE values. For the 12-month forecast, prediction results range from fair to very accurate. The 7-month forecast also shows decent to very accurate results. However, the 5-month forecast shows less accurate results. This shows that ARIMA can be a useful method in forecasting monthly maximum rainfall, especially during the dry season. The application of ARIMA in Semarang City can help in planning hydrometeorological disaster mitigation, considering that the Semarang City area often experiences extreme weather that is difficult to predict. Thus, the use of ARIMA can provide significant benefits in preparing for and reducing the impact of hydrometeorological disasters in the region. In addition, with more accurate forecasts, the government and society can take preventative steps earlier, such as better water management, creating an adequate drainage system, and increasing public awareness of the threat of disasters. Therefore, this research emphasizes the importance of using reliable prediction methods such as ARIMA to improve preparedness in dealing with hydrometeorological disasters.</p> Zauyik Nana Ruslana Rudi Setyo Prihatin Sulistiyowati Sulistiyowati Kristiawan Nugroho Copyright (c) 2024 Zauyik Nana Ruslana, Rudi Setyo Prihatin, Sulistiyowati, Kristiawan Nugroho http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2135 2141 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13984 An IT Governance Analysis in Interior Contracting Industry: A COBIT 2019 Approach https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13978 <p>The very rapid development of technology is currently having an impact on every industry, which must adapt by carrying out technological transformation to survive and have added value for customers.&nbsp; Many businesses, including interior contractors, use a variety of hardware and software, as well as information systems, to streamline their business processes.&nbsp; Under these conditions, the importance of strong IT governance to ensure that the implementation of IT investments continues to provide great benefits for the company's progress has been considered a top priority.&nbsp; This research explores how IT governance functions in this industry using COBIT 2019, a leading evaluation framework. The main areas of COBIT 2019 will be used to assess a company's IT capabilities. This study focused on an interior contractor company in Serpong, Indonesia, which was already using enterprise resource planning (ERP) and project management software. The analysis identified 12 out of 40 domains that need improvement to achieve certain target levels. These agreed targets aim to improve IT capabilities, such as reducing dependence on external vendors for system development and creating clear standards for managing technological change. Despite these recommendations, further investigation revealed a gap between the desired and current conditions. This research proposes solutions to bridge this gap, including achieving greater IT system independence and establishing clear guidelines for navigating technological advances.</p> R Wahyu Indra Susatyo Eko Indrajit Erick Dazki Copyright (c) 2024 R Wahyu Indra Susatyo, Eko Indrajit, Erick Dazki http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2142 2154 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13978 Retail Marketing Strategy Optimization: Customer Segmentation with Artificial Intelligence Integration and K-Means Clustering https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14000 <p>This study aims to optimize retail marketing strategies through customer segmentation using the K-Means clustering method and RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis. By utilizing transaction data from a large retail company, customers are categorized into six segments: VIP Customers, Loyal Customers, Potential Loyalists, New Customers, At-Risk Customers, and Dormant Customers. This segmentation allows for the implementation of more targeted marketing strategies for each customer group. For example, VIP Customers who represent 3.0% of total customers are very active with significant spending, so they deserve exclusive offers and premium services. Loyal Customers, which account for 7.0% of total customers, show high transaction frequency and loyalty, suitable for loyalty programs and recurring discounts. Potential Loyalists, which comprise 15.0%, show the potential for increased loyalty through retention campaigns. New customers representing 16.3% need a brand recognition and promotion strategy to increase their initial engagement. At-Risk Customers covering 30.7% indicated a decrease in transaction activity and required intervention to prevent churn, while Dormant Customers covering 28.1% required a strong reactivation strategy. The clustering evaluation showed an average Silhouette score of 0.3115, which indicates that the clusters that are formed are quite well defined, although there is still room for improvement. This research provides valuable insights to develop more effective and efficient marketing strategies, as well as increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.</p> Yuliarni Putri Dasril Aldo Wanda Ilham Copyright (c) 2024 Yuliarni Putri, Dasril Aldo, Wanda Ilham http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2155 2163 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14000 Application of the C4.5 Algorithm for Predicting Students' Learning Styles Based on Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual Models https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14032 <p>Education in Indonesia has seen significant development over the past few decades, with government efforts to improve access and quality of education throughout the country. Programs such as the 12-Year Compulsory Education and curriculum revitalization have driven an increase in school participation rates. However, challenges such as the quality gap between urban and rural areas and the low competence of teachers remain key issues in achieving more equitable and high-quality education for all segments of society. This study aims to apply the C4.5 algorithm to predict students' learning styles based on the Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual (SAVI) model. Learning styles are an important aspect of education that affects the effectiveness of learning. By understanding individual learning styles, educators can optimize teaching methods according to students' needs. In this study, student learning style data was collected and analyzed using the C4.5 algorithm, an effective decision tree method for data classification. The results of this algorithm are decision trees that categorize students into one of four learning styles based on specific features. This study shows that the C4.5 algorithm has good accuracy in predicting learning styles, with an entropy value of 1.55 and a gain of 0.156. The implementation of the results of this study is expected to help teachers develop more optimal teaching strategies in preparing learning materials according to students' learning styles.</p> Siti Aminah Yadi Yadi Copyright (c) 2024 Yadi Yadi, Siti Aminah http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2163 2171 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14032 Proposed Implementation uses TOGAF ADM and ArchiMate - Enterprise Architecture in Retail Industry https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14052 <p>As the growth rate of the retail industry in Indonesia continues to increase, leveraging information technology (IT) to support business operations has become increasingly crucial for achieving effectiveness and efficiency. Retail companies must manage interconnected business systems, such as inventory management, supply chain, e-commerce, and customer service. Without a clear architecture, integrating these systems becomes challenging, leading to operational inefficiencies, difficulties in decision-making, and an inability to respond quickly to market trends. A comprehensive Enterprise Architecture (EA) is therefore essential for managing all core processes within a company. Implementing EA using the TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) methodology is an optimal choice, as it is widely recognized and adopted. <strong>Technology Architecture, Data Architecture, Application Architecture, and Business Architecture </strong>are the four primary domains of TOGAF. Business Architecture improves cross-departmental integration and streamlines Business Process, while Application Architecture facilitates automation and optimizes application systems for more efficient operations. Data Architecture focuses on structured data management, ensuring accurate and accessible information for decision-making. Meanwhile, technology architecture provides a flexible and adaptable technological infrastructure that responds to business changes. By implementing Enterprise Architecture (EA) through TOGAF ADM, the retail industry can streamline Business Process, integrate various systems, adopt new technologies, and optimize the supply chain more effectively. This approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also strengthens competitiveness in the retail sector by fostering innovation and providing responsive services.</p> Ng Hengky Erick Dazki Eko Indrajit Copyright (c) 2024 Ng Hengky http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2172 2184 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14052 Performance Single Linkage and K-Medoids on Data with Outliers https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14072 <p>One way to assess the economic growth of a province is by examining its Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). GRDP calculated through the production approach reflects the total value added by goods and services from various sectors within a particular region over a specified period. To determine the GRDP, 17 business sectors are considered. In 2023, the GRDP growth rate in Papua has decreased to 3.44%, down from 4.11% the previous year. To help the government improve Papua’s GRDP, an analysis is required. Clustering methods can group regencies and cities with similar characteristics. Boxplots are used to identify outliers in the data. The data contains outliers, so one method that can be used is K-Medoids. Euclidean Distance is used to calculate the distance matrix. Before calculating the distances, standardization using z-score normalization is performed to ensure that the data ranges are the same. This article aims to identify the most effective method for clustering regencies and cities in Papua using GRDP at constant price data. Both Single Linkage and K-Medoids methods are applied in this study. The DBI is used for evaluation, with lower DBI values indicating better methods. According to the DBI results, Single Linkage outperforms K-Medoids for clustering regencies and cities in Papua, with the optimal number of clusters being three.</p> <p>Keywords: Euclidean Distance; Davies Bouldin Index (DBI); Gross Regional Domestic Bruto; K-Medoids; Single Linkage; z-score Normalization</p> Caecilia Bintang Girik Allo Winda Ade Fitriya B Nicea Roona Paranoan Copyright (c) 2024 Caecilia Bintang Girik Allo, Winda Ade Fitriya B, Nicea Roona Paranoan http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2185 2191 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14072 Implementation Docker and Kubernetes Scaling Using Horizontal Scaler Method for Wordpress Services https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14091 <p>Container is a technology that has recently been widely used because of the additional features that are very easy and convenient to use, especially for web hosting service developers, with Container making it easier for system admins to manage applications including building, processing and running applications on Container. With Container the process of creating and using the system will be easier but along with too many user requests so that the service does not run optimally. Therefore, the Container must have good scalability and performance. Scalability is needed for systems that can adjust to the needs of user demand and performance is needed to maintain the quality of services provided. This research aims to implement scaling using Docker and Kubernetes in terms of scalability and performance. The parameters of comparison between Docker and Kubernetes are for scalability, scaling up and scaling down time and for performance. The method in this research uses the Action Research methodology, which is a research model that is simultaneously practiced and theorized. With the initial steps of problem identification, action planning, action implementation, observation and evaluation. Based on the results that have been obtained, Docker consumes more CPU &amp; Memory Usage Resources, namely at 500 Users Kubernetes consumes Resources with an average of 94.47%-4.70% while in Kubernetes 89.11%-4.50 because in Kubernetes itself has a complex system, especially special component components such as APIs, Metrics Server, Kubernetes manager to run the Container. While in Docker only has Docker Manager and Docker Compose components.</p> Suryayusra Nova Destarina Edi Surya Negara Edi Supratman Maria Ulfa Copyright (c) 2024 Nova Destarina, Suryayusra, Edi Surya Negara, Edi Supratman, Maria Ulfa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2192 2196 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14091 Enterprise Architecture of the Basic Banking Feature for a New Challenger of Digital Banking in Indonesia https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14116 <p>Digital transformation has significantly impacted Indonesia's banking industry, leading to the rise of digital banks that leverage technology for their operations, posing challenges to traditional banking models. This research investigates the implementation of enterprise architecture within the core features of digital banking in Indonesia, utilizing the TOGAF framework and Archimate modeling.

The demand for oyster mushrooms is increasing as they are considered a nutritious food source. However, mushroom farmers are currently unable to fulfill market demand due to limited harvest yields. The primary factor contributing to this issue is the farmers' lack of skills in oyster mushroom cultivation. Therefore, an intelligent system is needed to identify and monitor the growth of oyster mushrooms, which can help to improve harvest yields. In this research, a system for determining oyster mushroom harvest timing will be designed using image processing techniques. This system will work by analyzing images of oyster mushrooms captured using a digital camera on the mushroom growing medium and then identifying visual characteristics that indicate mushroom maturity, such as color, texture, and size. The proposed method consists of several stages: image dataset collection, image preprocessing, image segmentation, morphological operations, feature extraction, and image classification based on Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). The dataset obtained includes 150 images of oyster mushrooms, divided into two classes: ready for harvest and not ready for harvest. The test results show that the proposed method can accurately identify oyster mushrooms as either ready for harvest or not. The classification model achieved an accuracy rate of 96.67%. By utilizing this technology, it is expected to enhance efficiency and consistency in the harvesting process and assist farmers in making informed decisions.</p> Nursuci Putri Husain Muh.

Given the General Election Commission's crucial role in maintaining election integrity and the importance of transparency in Indonesian democracy, understanding public opinion through sentiment analysis is essential. Data was collected from YouTube comments, a platform increasingly popular for public expression. The analysis process began with data preprocessing, including case folding, text cleaning, tokenization, and stop word removal. The BERT model was then applied to classify the sentiment of the comments, with the model's performance evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. The evaluation results showed that the first fold (k=1) achieved the best performance with an accuracy of 96%, precision of 96%, recall of 96%, and an F1-score of 96%, indicating the model's effectiveness in accurately classifying sentiment. In contrast, the ninth fold (k=9) exhibited the lowest accuracy at 86% with other metrics also lower, suggesting performance instability potentially caused by data variability. Accuracy and loss graphs confirmed that the first fold experienced consistent accuracy improvements and significant loss reduction, while the ninth fold showed performance fluctuations. This study provides valuable insights into public sentiment regarding the General Election Commission performance, with BERT demonstrating significant potential for sentiment analysis on social media platforms like YouTube.</p> Nafiatun Sholihah Ferian Fauzi Abdulloh Majid Rahardi Copyright (c) 2024 Nafiatun Sholihah, Ferian Fauzi Abdulloh, Majid Rahardi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2222 2232 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14040 Performance Comparison of KNN and CNN in Classifying Balinese Gangsa Instrument Tones https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14019 <p>Balinese traditional music, particularly the Gamelan Gangsa, represents a unique aspect of Indonesia’s cultural heritage.

The more criteria used, the higher the level of difficulty to support decision making. With the collaboration of the MDCM-AHP method, it can be used to provide an assessment of multi-criteria that have optimal values, while the EDAS method will be used as a strength in evaluating the selection of alternatives based on positive and negative distances for different types of criteria through normalized values. Determination of the weighting value of the criteria is obtained through the iteration stages using the mathematical algebra matrices method and proven by expert choice apps. The decision support results obtained provide a ranking value with the first priority being PR06 with an accumulative weight of 0.552 followed by the second and third ranks respectively PR04 and PR05 with a weight of 0.545 and 0.522 respectively. Thus supporting decision making with the recommendation of the MCDM-AHP and EDAS method collaboration can provide an optimal assessment of residential selection in a detailed and accurate manner.</p> Akmaludin Akmaludin Erene Gernaria Sihombing Rinawati Rinawati Ester Arisawati Prisma Handayanna Copyright (c) 2024 Akmaludin Akmaludin http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-06 2024-10-06 8 4 2269 2280 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13661 A Mixed-Integer Programming Approach on Clustering Problems with Segmentation Application Customer https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14141 <p>As a marketing strategy, segmentation involves categorizing customers into specific groups based on their loyalty to a brand. This process is crucial in shaping an effective business strategy, as identifying various customer types enables businesses to target their marketing efforts more precisely. This research focuses on solving the cluster optimization problem by applying a combinatorial optimization approach to develop a cluster optimization method. The combinatorial optimization utilized here operates on a binary system, using 0s and 1s to identify the optimal cluster for each object. Specifically, a value of 1 indicates that an object is assigned to an optimal cluster, while a value of 0 signifies that the object belongs to a non-optimal cluster. By designating clusters with a value of 1, the method ensures that the best optimization value is achieved. The 0-1 non-linear problem model ensures that objects with the shortest distances between them are grouped in the same cluster. Additionally, the model guarantees that each object belongs to only one cluster and that, across k tests, every cluster contains at least one object. This model can also be used to determine the ideal number of clusters for a given dataset, ensuring optimal segmentation results for business applications.</p> Arin Elviana Elly Rosmaini Esther Sorta Mauli Nababan Copyright (c) 2024 Arin Elviana, Elly Rosmaini, Esther Sorta Mauli Nababan http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-02 2024-10-02 8 4 2281 2286 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14141 Performance Analysis of AODV and DSDV Routing Protocols for UDP Communication in VANET https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13938 <p>In high-mobility Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), maintaining a low Packet Loss Ratio and a high Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) under UDP communication is crucial. This study compares the performance of Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV) routing protocols in vehicular communications and networking using Network Simulator 3 (NS3) simulations. The research employs a simulation-based approach, leveraging NS3 and SUMO to analyze these protocols across different VANET scenarios, including free flow, steady flow, and traffic jams over varying time intervals (300 to 700 seconds). Our findings demonstrate that AODV outperforms DSDV. AODV maintained an average Packet Loss Ratio of 98% and achieved higher throughput, while DSDV experienced higher packet loss and lower throughput. Additionally, AODV exhibited lower end-to-end delay and a higher Packet Delivery Ratio compared to DSDV. These results indicate that AODV is better suited for UDP communication in VANETs, offering lower packet loss, higher throughput, and reduced delays. The study further emphasizes that AODV is preferable for UDP communication in VANETs due to its superior performance metrics. There is potential for further research in vehicular communications, such as integrating advanced hybrid routing protocols and exploring the effects of different traffic densities, vehicle types, and real-world environmental conditions. By investigating these factors, future studies can enhance the reliability and efficiency of VANET communications, contributing to the advancement of intelligent transportation systems.</p> ketut Bayu Yogha Bintoro Michael Marchenko Rofi Chandra Saputra Ade Syahputra Copyright (c) 2024 ketut Bayu Yogha Bintoro, Michael Marchenko, Rofi Chandra Saputra, Ade Syahputra http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-06 2024-10-06 8 4 2287 2297 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13938 Extreme Learning Machine and Multilayer Perceptron Methods for Predicting COVID-19 https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14029 <p>The number of positive COVID-19 cases in Semarang City has increased over the last year. In anticipating and preparing proper health facilities, the government must predict the number of cases. This research applies Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to indicate the number of positive COVID-19 cases. These newly developed methods are part of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The type of data used in the study is secondary data. Covid-19 patient data was taken from the Semarang City Health Office.

However, based on the Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values, the MLP method had a smaller error rate than the ELM method.&nbsp; In predicting the number of COVID-19 positive cases, ELM has 93.436331% accuracy, and MLP has 97.055838% accuracy. The best method for predicting the number of COVID-19 positive cases in Semarang City is Multilayer Perceptron (MLP).</p> Dheva Yustisio Emy Siswanah Mohamad Tafrikan Copyright (c) 2024 Dheva Yustisio, Emy Siswanah, Mohamad Tafrikan http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-06 2024-10-06 8 4 2298 2308 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14029 Comparison of Tubercolosis Detection Using CNN Models (AlexNet and ResNet) https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13979 <p>The bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium&nbsp; tubercolosis, leading to tubercolosis is a prevalent contagious disease. This bacterium commonly targets the primary respiratory organs, particularly the lungs. Tuberculosis poses a significant global health challenge and necessitates early detection for effective management. In this context, to facilitate healthcare professionals in the early detection of patients, a technology capable of accurately identifying lung conditions is required. Therefore, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) will be employed as the algorithm for detecting lung images. The research will utilize Convolutional Neural Network models, namely AlexNet and ResNet. The study aims to compare the performance of these two models in detecting TB through the analysis of chest X-ray images. The dataset comprises X-rays from both normal patients and TB patients, totaling 4.200 data points. The training process involves dividing the data into training and validation sets, with an 80% allocation for training and 20% for validation. The evaluation results indicate that the AlexNet model demonstrates higher detection accuracy, reaching 88.33% on the validation data, while ResNet achieves 83.10%. These findings suggest that the use of CNN models, especially AlexNet, can be an effective approach to enhancing early tuberculosis detection through the interpretation of chest X-ray images, with potential implications for improving global TB management and prevention efforts.</p> Adya Zizwan Putra Amir Mahmud Husein Nicholas Frederico Wijaya Aribel Copyright (c) 2024 Adya Zizwan Putra, Amir Mahmud Husein, Nicholas, Frederico Wijaya, Aribel http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-06 2024-10-06 8 4 2309 2317 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13979 Analysis of Malnutrition Status in Toddlers Using the K-MEANS Algorithm Case Study in DKI Jakarta Province https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14087 <p>Malnutrition in children is a serious health issue in various regions, including DKI Jakarta Province, which affects the physical and cognitive development of children. This research aims to classify malnutrition status in children using the K-Means algorithm, focusing on cases in DKI Jakarta. The objective is to identify patterns of malnutrition prevalence across different regions, serving as a basis for more effective interventions. The data used in this study includes the percentage of children with severely stunted, stunted, and normal nutritional status across six districts/cities in DKI Jakarta. The results of K-Means clustering show that Central Jakarta has the highest prevalence of severely stunted (10.50%) and stunted (13.01%) status, while West Jakarta has the lowest prevalence of severely stunted (4.62%) and stunted (10.22%) status. The solution offered by this research is the grouping of regions based on malnutrition prevalence, allowing for the identification of areas requiring priority intervention. The analysis results indicate that DKI Jakarta can be classified into several clusters based on malnutrition prevalence. The cluster with the highest malnutrition prevalence includes Central Jakarta, while the cluster with the lowest malnutrition prevalence includes West Jakarta and the Thousand Islands. The implementation of K-Means in this research provides an efficient approach to identifying groups of regions that need more attention in combating malnutrition in children. In conclusion, this research can serve as an important reference for policymakers in formulating more effective and efficient intervention strategies in DKI Jakarta, as well as inspire similar studies in other regions with different population characteristics</p> Ita Dewi Sintawati Widiarina Widiarina Kartika Mariskhana Copyright (c) 2024 Ita Dewi Sintawati, Widiarina, Kartika Mariskhana http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-06 2024-10-06 8 4 2318 2324 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14087 Designing an Used Goods Donation System to Reduce Waste Accumulation Using the WASPAS Method https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14115 <p>This research aims to build a website application-based selection system for recipients of used goods donations using the WASPAS method. This system is designed to assist in the efficient and fair distribution of used goods to recipients in need. The WASPAS method is applied to calculate the preference value (Q<sub>i</sub>) for each alternative donation recipient based on predetermined criteria. The analysis results show that "Alternative-01" is the best alternative with the highest Q<sub>i</sub> value (1.866), while "Alternative-02" has the lowest Q<sub>i</sub> value (1.713). The significant difference in Q<sub>i</sub> values ​​between these two alternatives indicates a clear difference in preferences. The weight (w) given to each criterion plays an important role in forming the preference value (Q<sub>i</sub>). Therefore, careful consideration needs to be taken in determining the weight of each criterion to ensure that the final decision is in line with expectations. The WASPAS method has proven to be effective in the selection system for recipients of used goods donations. The advantage of this method lies in its ability to handle multi-criteria problems and uncertain data. By applying the WASPAS method, the decision-making process can be carried out more quickly, accurately and objectively. Although the WASPAS method provides a strong basis for decision making, it is also necessary to consider other relevant factors, both quantitative and qualitative. This will ensure that the final decision taken is the best decision and in accordance with the research objectives.</p> M. Rhifky Wayahdi Fahmi Ruziq Copyright (c) 2024 M.

A good relay can build significant strength in carrying out organizational operational activities, of course this must be done with good selection. The purpose of this writing is to provide a consistent picture of the selection of branch heads in carrying out business competition which is measured based on the competencies possessed by the selected employees. The barometer is determined based on eight criteria as an assessment that is declared objective by the leadership, namely critical thinking, communication, analyzing, creative and innovation, leadership, adaptation, cooperation, and public speaking. The method used will be implemented in an integrated manner from the two MCDM-AHP methods and the MABAC method. These two methods have similar applications to the selection process. MCDM-AHP is used to select eight criteria as determinants of weighting and the MABAC method is used to determine the ranking process assessment for integrated decision making. The results obtained based on the weighted matrices of the branch head office selection process were measurably obtained, namely that the first priority was held by A11 with a weight of 1,406. The results of the integrity of both methods can provide evidence of decision support for the branch head selection process consistently with optimal results. The ranking system can be regulated and utilized for the purposes of selecting leaders to be placed in other positions.</p> Akmaludin Akmaludin Adhi Dharma Suriyanto Nandang Iriadi Kudiantoro Widianto Copyright (c) 2024 Akmaludin, Adhi Dharma Suriyanto, Nandang Iriadi, Kudiantoro Widianto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-06 2024-10-06 8 4 2335 2344 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13669 Comparison of K-Means and Self Organizing Map Algorithms for Ground Acceleration Clustering https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14120 <p>This study evaluates earthquake-induced ground acceleration in Indonesia, which is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire zone, using Donovan's empirical method and comparing two clustering algorithms, Self Organizing Map (SOM) and K-Means.

Improved round robin and average max round robin, which is also called AMRR are two types with a breakthrough. Improved round robin is an algorithm where if the remaining burst time of the process is less than the quantum, then the running process will continue to be executed. Afterwards the next iteration will be executed as its turn. So, each iteration will have a vary of quantum. It is called a dynamic time quantum. Different with improved round robin, in AMRR, in every iteration, the quantum will be calculated. So, for every iteration, the quantum might be different, depending upon the quantum calculation of the rest burst time. The first stage of this algorithm is to calculate the average of the existing burst times. Then this average is added with the maximum existing burst time. This addition then will be divided, then we get the quantum. This calculation will be executed again after the iteration finish. Based on our analysis, with quantum 10 in these two algorithms. It is can be shown that the improved round robin is less efficient than AMRR, because its average turnaround time and average waiting time is lower. The average turnaround time is 17.25 ms for AMRR compared to 23.25 ms in improved round robin. And the average turnaround time is 9 ms for AMRR compared to 15 ms in improved round robin.</p> Tri Dharma Putra Rakhmat Purnomo Copyright (c) 2024 Rakhmat Purnomo, Tri Dharma Putra http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-07 2024-10-07 8 4 2354 2360 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13563 Comparison Of Machine Learning Algorithms On Stunting Detection For 'Centing' Mobile Application To Prevent Stunting https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13967 <p>Stunting is a growth disorder caused by chronic undernutrition, with long-term impacts on child health and development. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting reached 31.8% in children under five years old in 2018, indicating an urgent need for effective interventions. In an effort to address this issue, we developed a mobile application called Centing (Cegah Stunting) that utilizes machine learning for early detection and prevention of stunting. In this study, we compare the performance of four machine learning algorithms Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) in detecting children's nutritional status based on a dataset from Kaggle with 121 thousand data and four main features: age, gender, height, and nutritional status. The experimental results show that SVM with RBF kernel and CNN achieved the highest accuracy of 98%, while Logistic Regression and MLP achieved 76% and 97% accuracy respectively. SVM with RBF kernel was chosen as the best model due to its high accuracy and efficiency in computation time. These findings suggest that the Centing application, with the implementation of SVM RBF, has significant potential in early detection and prevention of stunting, and makes an important contribution to improving child health in Indonesia.</p> Ferris Tita Sabilillah Christy Atika Sari Ryandhika Bintang Abiyyi Ajib Susanto Copyright (c) 2024 Ferris Tita Sabilillah, Christy Atika Sari, Ryandhika Bintang Abiyyi, Ajib Susanto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-07 2024-10-07 8 4 2360 2368 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13967 Analytical Study Forecasting Students Using Random Forest and Linear Regression Algorithms https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13886 <p>Forecasting new student admissions essential for higher education institutions as it helps them plan for staffing and budgetary needs. Accurate predictions are difficult due to factors like economic conditions, government policies, and University competition. This study aims to analysis forecasting at Nasional university using Random Forest and Linear Regression algorithms. By examining historical admission data, the research seeks to identify key factors influencing the number of accepted students. Methodology involves collecting data from past admissions and applying both Random Forest and Linear Regression to compare their performance. Preliminary results, based on parameters such as application form purchases from 2015 to 2023, form prices, accreditation, and leading study programs, suggest that Random Forest offers more stable and realistic predictions. Analysis for MAE, MSE, RMSE, MAPE, MAD suggests that Linear Regression is more accurate for this data. predicts closer to actual values with lower overall errors. This makes Linear Regression preferable as it provides more reliable predictions with less deviation compared to Random Forest. Looking at admissions forecasts for the next 5 years, Random Forest predicts a steady decrease from 4224 in 2024 to 4129 in 2028. In contrast, Linear Regression suggests a stable trend with slight annual dips, going from 4954 in 2024 to 4941 in 2028. Therefore, Linear Regression is a more stable and realistic choice compared to Random Forest for this forecasting task in this research.</p> Muhammad Nurdin Fauziah Fauziah Copyright (c) 2024 Muhammad Nurdin, Fauziah http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-07 2024-10-07 8 4 2369 2378 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.13886 Analysis Technique Data hiding using HPA DCO on SATA Hard Drive https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14042 <p>Data hiding techniques in the Host Protected Area (HPA) and Device Configuration Overlay (DCO) areas of SATA Hard Disk Drives have become a frequently used anti-forensic activity to hide data and evidence. The area is inaccessible to standard operating systems and software, making it capable of hiding data. This technique utilizes the ability of the SATA Hard Disk Drive to reconfigure the storage size so as to hide evidence.

In this study, the K-Means algorithm was used with an optimal number of clusters of 3, and produced an accuracy rate of 85%, indicating that this algorithm is effective in grouping large-scale and complex data. However, there are challenges related to the sensitivity of K-Means to outliers and data imbalances that affect the results of the analysis. The results also show that areas such as Central Jakarta and South Jakarta receive more social assistance compared to other areas such as North Jakarta and East Jakarta, reflecting differences in needs in various regions. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting the right variables, such as access to health facilities and economic conditions, in producing more accurate groupings. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into efforts to optimize the distribution of social assistance in DKI Jakarta and recommends further research to address the limitations that exist in the use of the K-Means algorithm, especially in the context of data that is imbalanced or has large variations.</p> Nining Suharyanti Rusdiansyah Rusdiansyah Hendra Supendar Tuslaela Tuslaela Copyright (c) 2024 Nining Suharyanti , Rusdiansyah, Hendra Supendar, Tuslaela http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-14 2024-10-14 8 4 2439 2446 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14095 Master Stockist Customer Segmentation Using RFM Model and Self-Organizing Maps Algorithm https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14112 <p>Master Stockist PT SNS 21 Bali struggles to identify member performance based on purchasing behavior because the applicable system only records transactions and stock of goods without providing insight into customers. Customer segmentation can be carried out to identify and understand differences in customer purchasing behavior. Therefore, this study aims to determine customer segmentation using the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) model and the Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) algorithm. Segmentation development uses the CRISP-DM (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) approach. The RFM model numerically represents customer behavior through three variables, while the Self-Organizing Maps algorithm groups customers into segments with similar characteristics. In this research, the best SOM parameters are 750 iterations, learning rate 0.5, radius 0.5, and grid size 1x3, resulting in 3 clusters with a Silhouette Score of 0.647608 and a Davies-Bouldin Index of 0.536503. Cluster 1 consists of 226 new customers with low RFM values who need encouragement to be more active. Cluster 2, comprising seven members, has low recency, high frequency, and high monetary values, representing loyal customers who need to be retained. Cluster 3 consists of 239 inactive customers with high recency, low frequency, and low monetary values, requiring a reactivation strategy.</p> Ni Kadek Ayu Nirwana Ni Putu Wahyuni Dewi I Made Dwi Putra Asana Ni Wayan Jeri Kusuma Dewi Gusti Ayu Shinta Dwi Astari Copyright (c) 2024 Ni Kadek Ayu Nirwana, Ni Putu Wahyuni Dewi, I Made Dwi Putra Asana, Ni Wayan Jeri Kusuma Dewi, Gusti Ayu Shinta Dwi Astari http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-17 2024-10-17 8 4 2447 2457 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14112 Web-Based Application Development using PHP-Native Framework on Agent of Change Integrity Zone Information System https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14118 <p>An Integrity Zone is an activity related to government policies and efforts to create an environment free from corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN). The Integrity Zone aims to encourage transparency, accountability, and clean practices in the management of a bureaucracy. To further the success of this Integrity Zone, a Agent of Change was formed who acts as a Role Model for all parties. As a role model, agents of change must be able to provide examples in attitude, behavior, and thinking. In addition, they must be able to provide creative solutions in dealing with problems in their agencies. And must be able to provide creative ideas to improve the performance of all parties. Sometimes, their ideas are not well documented. So a digital-based system is needed that can facilitate the work of these agents of change. For this reason, it is necessary to create a Web-based application for recording, reporting, and implementing change agent performance so that it is more optimal, efficient, and effective. In this study, the development of web-based applications using a framework with PHP-Native technology. Most PHP frameworks that exist today, use MVC and OOP technology but no one has utilized PHP-Native technology as a framework. This aims to facilitate the creation of applications for programmers who have not familiar with MVC or OOP concept.</p> Adidtya Perdana Nurul Ain Farhana Putri Harliana Ichwanul Muslim Karo Karo Copyright (c) 2024 Adidtya Perdana, Nurul Ain Farhana, Putri Harliana, Ichwanul Muslim Karo Karo http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-21 2024-10-21 8 4 2458 2468 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14118 Building Sustainable Communities: SIMARET Development for Financial Transparency with MDALC Approach https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14150 <p>The increasing need for financial transparency and efficiency in community-level governance, particularly within Rukun Tetangga (RT) in Indonesia, calls for innovative solutions.

The results show that the best architecture for prediction of harvest area is 3-15-1, with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) value of 0.0049980 for standard Backpropagation, and 0.00092376 after being optimized with PSO. Meanwhile, for rice productivity prediction, the best architecture is also 3-15-1, with an MSE value of 0.0049998 for standard Backpropagation, and 0.000435762 after using PSO. PSO optimization significantly reduces the MSE value, which indicates that this method is more accurate than standard Backpropagation. Predictions from 2024 to 2026 show more consistent results with some provinces experiencing an increase or decrease in harvested area and rice productivity that is different from the standard Backpropagation method. Based on the prediction accuracy that reaches 100% and the lower MSE value, it can be concluded that Backpropagation with PSO optimization is a superior method. The results of this study are useful for government, farmers, researchers, and policy makers in more effective agricultural planning and better risk management</p> P.P.P.A.N.W.Fikrul Ilmi R.H.Zer Fazli Nugraha Tambunan Copyright (c) 2024 P.P.P.A.N.W.Fikrul Ilmi R.H.Zer, Fazli Nugraha Tambunan http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-28 2024-10-28 8 4 2503 2509 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14142 Data Visualization for Building a Cyber Attack Monitoring Dashboard Based on Honeypot https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14144 <p>Computer networks are essential for modern life, enabling efficient global information exchange. However, as technology advances, network security challenges grow. To enhance security, honeypots are used alongside firewalls, mimicking legitimate systems to attract hackers and analyze their attack methods. In this research, Cowrie and Dionaea honeypots are implemented. Cowrie targets brute force attacks on SSH, while Dionaea detects port scanning and denial of service (DoS) attacks. These honeypots effectively capture and log malicious activities, providing insights into attack patterns. The collected data is analyzed using the ELK Stack, which offers real-time visualization of attack trends, frequency, and methods. This analysis helps security teams quickly identify and mitigate threats. The integration of honeypots with the ELK Stack significantly enhances network defense by improving detection, analysis, and response to cyber threats. The analysis of the results shows that both honeypots effectively capture and record malicious activities entering the network, providing critical insights into the attack patterns employed by attackers. Within just minutes of deployment, the honeypots logged over 1,000 attacks, predominantly originating from botnets attempting to exploit system vulnerabilities. The captured log data is processed through the ELK Stack, allowing for real-time visualization of attack patterns, including geographic origins, attack frequency, and methods used. This enables security teams to proactively identify trends, assess risks, and implement targeted mitigation strategies more efficiently.</p> I Gede Adnyana Ayu Manik Dirgayusari Ketut Jaya Atmaja Copyright (c) 2024 I Gede Adnyana, Ayu Manik Dirgayusari, Ketut Jaya Atmaja http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-30 2024-10-30 8 4 2510 2518 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14144 Optimization of Stock Forecasting in Bali Retail Businesses to Support the Digital Economy Using Weighted Moving Average (WMA) Approach https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14149 <p>The development of the digital economy provides new challenges for the retail sector, especially in stock management. Accurate stock management is a key factor in improving operational efficiency and minimizing the risk of overstock and understock. This research aims to optimize stock forecasting in retail businesses in Bali using the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) method. WMA gives greater weight to the most recent data in order to forecast future demand for goods. Sales data from 2017 to 2021 was collected and used as the basis for forecasting. The forecasting process was conducted for several products, including Dolphin and Dua Kelinci. The results show that WMA is able to provide accurate predictions, especially for products with stable demand patterns. For Dolphin products, the WMA forecast for January 2024 predicted a demand of 14.8 units, with a Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of 3.64. Dua Kelinci products, however, experienced more fluctuations in demand, with a forecasted January 2024 demand of 7.6 units and a MAD of 4.3. Despite some variations, WMA proved to be more accurate compared to simpler methods like Simple Moving Average (SMA). By using WMA, retailers can more efficiently manage stock, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce the risk of overstocking or understocking. This research confirms the importance of integrating advanced forecasting methods in supporting the competitiveness of the retail sector in the digital economy era.</p> Welda Welda I Gede Eka Dharsika Ida Bagus Gede Sarasvananda Copyright (c) 2024 Welda Welda, I Gede Eka Dharsika, Ida Bagus Gede Sarasvananda http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-30 2024-10-30 8 4 2519 2530 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14149 Forward Selection as a Feature Selection Method in the SVM Kernel for Student Graduation Data https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14172 <p>In the era of information technology development, accurate graduation predictions are important to improve the quality of higher education in Indonesia.

This study presents a comparative analysis of three machine learning models such as XGBoost, RandomForest, and Logistic Regression to predict customer interest in vehicle insurance based on a dataset that includes demographic, vehicle, and policy-related features. The dataset was analyzed using five-fold cross-validation, and the performance of the models was evaluated using AUC-ROC, precision, recall, and F1-score. XGBoost demonstrated the highest recall (0.9525) and AUC-ROC (0.7854), making it the most effective model for identifying customers interested in vehicle insurance, though at the expense of lower precision (0.2585). RandomForest showed a more balanced trade-off between precision (0.3064) and recall (0.5341) but performed lower overall. Logistic Regression, while the most interpretable model, exhibited high variability in performance across different folds, with a lower average precision (0.2372). The findings of this research highlight that XGBoost is ideal for maximizing recall in high-volume campaigns, while RandomForest may be better suited for applications requiring fewer false positives. These results offer valuable insights into model selection based on business objectives and resource allocation.</p> Gregorius Airlangga Copyright (c) 2024 Gregorius Airlangga http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-30 2024-10-30 8 4 2542 2549 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14194 Clustering Analysis of Cadet Profiles Using Age, Recency, Frequency and Monetary Methods Using K-Means and K-Medoids Algorithms https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14170 <p>Banten Maritime Polytechnic is a new academic school established in 2019 so that the formulation of data management is still being sought to be suitable and optimal, there are many obstacles if the data is not managed properly, starting from the recruitment of prospective cadets in taking sailor competency training such as not optimal socialization. According to data from the 2021 Transportation Human Resource Development Agency, it explains that there are still few enthusiasts, especially at the Banten Maritime Polytechnic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the profile of cadets in taking sailor competency training using the age, recency, frequency and monetary methods in categorizing data and clustering with the k-means and k-medoids algorithms so that the data can be used for cadet services and related parties in the Banten Maritime Polytechnic database. This analysis can also be used for mapping in recruiting prospective cadets in taking sailor competency training so that they can see opportunities and optimize target markets. This research was conducted in 2023 based on the latest data on the 2022-2023 academic year cadet profile at the Banten Maritime Polytechnic. The results of this analysis data can be used for cadets who have not graduated and have graduated in finding work partners and channeling cadets to the shipping industry. So it is very important to manage and cluster cadet profile data in taking this sailor competency training. The use of the K-means and K-medoids algorithms helps in compiling data groupings that have large data. It works by looking at the number of small groups or groups whose numbers are represented by the variable K. To be able to group the existing data, the K-means algorithm runs iteratively from each existing data point to the K group that has been created. The results of the study are cadet profile grouping data that can be managed again for strategies and management formulations at the Banten Maritime Polytechnic, especially in increasing the recruitment of prospective cadets in taking sailor competency training.</p> Muhammad Nursyi Presma Dana Scendi Sumarna Arief Wibowo Copyright (c) 2024 Muhammad Nursyi, Presma Dana Scendi Sumarna, Arief Wibowo http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-10-30 2024-10-30 8 4 2550 2567 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14170 Complete Kernel Fisher Discriminant (CKFD) and Color Difference Histogram for Palm Disease https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14145 <p>Palm oil plantations play a significant role in the economy of Indonesia, supporting 16.2 million people. However, plant diseases pose a major threat to the productivity and health of palm oil crops. Early detection of these diseases is essential to prevent yield losses and mitigate damage. This study proposes the application of the Complete Kernel Fisher Discriminant (CKFD) method combined with Color Difference Histogram to classify diseases affecting oil palm fronds and leaves. The CKFD method uses a non-linear kernel transformation to improve the performance of Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA), while the Color Difference Histogram enhances sensitivity to color variations in different lighting conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that the CKFD method achieves superior accuracy in disease detection compared to traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The proposed approach showed an average accuracy of 94.5% for detecting diseases like Curvularia sp and Cochliobolus carbonus. The combination of CKFD with Color Difference Histogram significantly reduces the impact of lighting variations on the classification results, making it a robust solution for practical deployment in palm oil plantations. This research provides an effective tool for early disease detection and management in the palm oil industry.</p> Johanes Terang Kita Perangin Angin Herman Herman Joni Joni Copyright (c) 2024 Johanes Terang Kita Perangin Angin, Herman, Joni http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-11-02 2024-11-02 8 4 2568 2574 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14145 Implementation of Deep Learning Model for Classification of Household Trash Image https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14198 <p>The problem of household waste management is a very important issue today, where the rapid urbanization, consumptive culture, and the tendency to dispose of waste without sorting it first from home, makes the volume of waste in landfills increase. Therefore, household waste management needs to be managed quickly and appropriately, so as not to have a major impact on environmental, hygiene, and health problems. Although some environmental communities and local governments have made efforts to manage waste through recycling systems, the long-term use of human labor is inefficient, expensive, and harmful to workers' health. Therefore, utilizing artificial intelligence technology is the best solution to classify waste types quickly and accurately. This research tries to test several pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models to perform classification. The results of testing pre-trained CNN models, such as AlexNet, VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and ResNeXt50, found that the pre-trained model ResNext50 is better with 100% accuracy, while the training loss and validation loss are 0.0414 and 0.0304, respectively. Then the second best model is the pre-trained ResNet50 model with 100% accuracy with training loss and validation loss of 0.0832 and 0.1077, respectively.</p> Robet Robet Johanes Terang Kita Perangin Angin Octara Pribadi Copyright (c) 2024 Robet, Johanes Terang Kita Perangin Angin, Octara Pribadi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-11-04 2024-11-04 8 4 2575 2583 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14198 E-Homestay Application Based on Decision Support System for Optimizing Tourism https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14179 <p>Pagar Alam City, a growing tourist destination, has seen a steady increase in visitors each year, driving greater demand for accommodations, especially homestays. Homestays are often favored by tourists due to their affordability compared to hotels. However, many tourists face challenges in selecting a suitable homestay that meets their preferences and needs. To address this issue, this study proposes the development of a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) integrated into the e-homestay platform. The system utilizes the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, chosen for its capability to assess multiple alternatives based on specific weighted criteria, including price, facilities, location, distance, and guest ratings. This approach is designed to assist tourists in identifying the optimal homestay that aligns with their preferences and budget, thereby enhancing their overall travel experience in Pagar Alam City. Moreover, the platform has the potential to promote local economic growth by supporting digital marketing of homestays, while also contributing to sustainable tourism development and management.</p> Febriansyah Siti Muntari Copyright (c) 2024 Febriansyah, Siti Muntari http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-11-08 2024-11-08 8 4 2584 2590 10.33395/sinkron.v8i4.14179
