Abstract:Abstract: The global transition towards sustainable food systems faces significant challenges in vegetarian food supply chains, including transparency issues, distribution inefficiencies, and quality verification problems.…
s. This research proposes VegeChain development, a decentralized marketplace ecosystem based on smart contracts designed to transform vegetarian food supply chains and accelerate Meatless, Balanced, Green (MBG) program adoption. Using mixed-method methodology integrating blockchain system design, stakeholder analysis, and economic simulation, this research develops a comprehensive technology framework combining blockchain transparency, smart contract automation, and sustainable tokenomics with novel mathematical models. The system implements dynamic pricing algorithms based on Automated Market Maker (AMM) mechanisms, multi-objective optimization for supply chain efficiency, and reputation-based consensus protocols. Simulation results demonstrate that VegeChain implementation can improve supply chain efficiency by 35%, reduce food waste by 28%, and increase consumer trust by 42% measured through validated stakeholder satisfaction surveys (n=456) using 5-point Likert scales with statistical significance p<0.001. Technical innovations include Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus with 99.9% reliability, gas optimization achieving 67% cost reduction, and real-time quality verification algorithms with 98.7% accuracy.

Abstract:Abstract: This research aims to build a recommendation system that can help parents determine the best Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) using the ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Translating Reality) method. The electre method…
ethod was chosen because of its ability to handle Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems, which allows evaluating alternatives based on various relevant criteria. This system is designed to identify and assess PAUD based on a number of important criteria, such as facilities, location, teacher-student ratio, curriculum, accreditation and reputation. Each criterion is given a weight according to its level of importance, which is determined based on parental preferences and applicable educational standards. Data is collected from various sources and processed using artificial intelligence techniques to ensure accuracy and relevance. The electre method is then used to evaluate and compare between PAUD. The research results show that the recommendation system developed is able to provide accurate and relevant PAUD recommendations, as well as increasing user satisfaction in the PAUD selection process. This research makes a significant contribution to the field of decision support systems and education, by showing the practical application of the electre method in determining the best PAUD. It is hoped that the results of this research can inspire the development of similar recommendation systems in other educational fields, as well as help in improving the quality of early childhood education through the use of advanced technology.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun sistem rekomendasi yang dapat membantu orang tua dalam menentukan Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) terbaik dengan menggunakan metode ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Translating Reality). Metode electre dipilih karena kemampuannya dalam menangani masalah Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), yang memungkinkan evaluasi alternatif berdasarkan berbagai kriteria yang relevan. Sistem ini dirancang untuk mengidentifikasi dan menilai PAUD berdasarkan sejumlah kriteria penting, seperti fasilitas, lokasi, rasio guru-murid, kurikulum, akreditasi dan reputasi. Setiap kriteria diberikan bobot sesuai dengan tingkat kepentingannya yang ditentukan berdasarkan preferensi orang tua dan standar pendidikan yang berlaku. Data dikumpulkan dari berbagai sumber dan diproses menggunakan teknik kecerdasan buatan untuk memastikan akurasi dan relevansi. Metode electre kemudian digunakan untuk melakukan evaluasi dan perbandingan antar PAUD. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem rekomendasi yang dikembangkan mampu memberikan rekomendasi PAUD yang akurat dan relevan, serta meningkatkan kepuasan pengguna dalam proses pemilihan PAUD. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi signifikan pada bidang sistem pendukung keputusan dan pendidikan, dengan menunjukkan aplikasi praktis dari metode electre dalam penentuan PAUD terbaik. Diharapkan, hasil penelitian ini dapat menginspirasi pengembangan sistem rekomendasi serupa di bidang pendidikan lainnya, serta membantu dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan anak usia dini melalui pemanfaatan teknologi canggih.

onsumer loyalty. The research method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 college students who had knowledge or experience related to Islamic financial products. Data analysis was performed using NVivo software. The results showed that college students' preferences were influenced by religiosity, financial institution reputation, trust, digital service innovation, and financial education. These factors contribute to the formation of consumer loyalty. Based on these findings, this study developed a consumer loyalty model that encompasses three main dimensions: spiritual attachment, digital engagement, and community-based advocacy. This model integrates consumer loyalty theory and Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory to explain the relationship between religious values, digital behavior, and loyalty to Islamic financial products. The implications of this research lie in its contribution to broadening the theoretical understanding of consumer loyalty in the Islamic financial sector and providing strategic direction for financial institutions in strengthening long-term relationships with young customers.

o engage in political activities. This study aims to examine the quality of social media information, social media reputation, trust, use of social media, and millennial political involvement. The instrument of this research is using a questionnaire created using a Google form that is distributed online. The respondents of this study are millennials. This study contributes to the inconsistency test between social media information quality variables and political involvement. The results of the study prove that there is an influence between the variables use of social media and political involvement. This study also concluded that most of the millennial generation use social media for 3 hours/day to seek information and communicate. Finally, this research can find that the use of social media affects political involvement.
