ANALYSING STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH K-MEANS CLUSTERING AND MULTI-STAGE SAMPLING METHODS

Rahmat Hidayat, Dede Pratama
Abstract: Abstract: Mental health is an essential aspect of overall well-being, particularly for university students vulnerable to emotional strain. This study aims to identify clusters of student mental health trends using the K-Means… Means clustering technique. The research involved 60 students from four academic programs at the Faculty of Science and Technology, selected using stratified and cluster sampling techniques. Data were collected using a modified Mental Health Inventory (MHI). The results revealed distinct commonalities among majors: the Statistics program was predominantly defined by the depressed cluster at 53.3%, while Mathematics followed at 40% within the same cluster. In contrast, Biology students predominantly fell under the neu-tral/stable cluster (66.7%), whilst Information Systems students exhibited an even distribution (33.3% per cluster) without a dominant trend. The clustering quality was evaluated using the Silhouette Coefficient, yielding a range of 0.39 to 0.60. Biology (0.60) and Statistics (0.54) exhibited a reasonable structure, but Information Systems (0.39) and Mathematics (0.34) demonstrated a deficient structure. In conclusion, K-Means effectively discerns mental health patterns, providing a data-driven basis for targeted psychological interventions in educational settings.

Sutejo, Sutejo, Fadrial, Yogi Ersan, Sadar, M., Hasan, Mhd Arief
Abstract: Abstract: This research is driven by the challenges faced by Universitas Lancang Kuning (UNILAK) in attracting applicants amidst intense competition, especially after the government's policy opened independent pathways to… o State Universities (PTN) from 2022-2023, which impacted private university applicant numbers. To address this and support strategic planning, this study aims to predict the trend of prospective students applying to all study programs at UNILAK for the period 2025-2027. Two time series models were employed: ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory). Applicant data from 2019 to 2024 was used to build the model. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test confirmed the data's stationarity with a p-value of 0.0. ACF and PACF analyses determined the ARIMA parameters as p=1, d=1, q=1. The LSTM model was trained to capture more complex data patterns. ARIMA predictions for 2025, 2026, and 2027 are 3298.66, 3362.33, and 3371.30, respectively. LSTM predictions for the same years are 3335.64, 3476.52, and 3518.42. Evaluation using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) showed ARIMA (RMSE=588.72) to be more accurate than LSTM (RMSE=653.96). Nevertheless, LSTM provided a more optimistic prediction. This study concludes that ARIMA is better suited for short-term planning, while LSTM can be used for more ambitious long-term strategies.   Keywords: arima; LSTM; applicants; prediction; university   Abstrak: Penelitian ini didorong oleh tantangan Universitas Lancang Kuning (UNILAK) dalam menarik pendaftar di tengah persaingan ketat, khususnya setelah kebijakan pemerintah membuka jalur mandiri ke Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (PTN) sejak 2022-2023, yang menyebabkan penurunan jumlah pendaftar di universitas swasta. Untuk mendukung perencanaan strategis, studi ini bertujuan memprediksi tren jumlah calon mahasiswa yang mendaftar ke seluruh program studi di UNILAK untuk periode 2025-2027.Dua model deret waktu digunakan: ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) dan LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory). Data jumlah pendaftar dari 2019 hingga 2024 digunakan untuk membangun model. Uji Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) menunjukkan data stasioner dengan p-value 0,0. Analisis ACF dan PACF menentukan parameter ARIMA sebagai p=1, d=1, q=1. Model LSTM dilatih untuk menangkap pola data yang lebih kompleks.Prediksi ARIMA untuk 2025, 2026, dan 2027 adalah 3298.66, 3362.33, dan 3371.30. Prediksi LSTM untuk tahun yang sama adalah 3335.64, 3476.52, dan 3518.42. Evaluasi menggunakan Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) menunjukkan ARIMA (RMSE=588.72) lebih akurat daripada LSTM (RMSE=653.96). Meskipun demikian, LSTM memberikan prediksi yang lebih optimis. Studi ini menyimpulkan ARIMA lebih cocok untuk perencanaan jangka pendek, sementara LSTM dapat digunakan untuk strategi jangka panjang yang ambisius.   Kata kunci: arima; LSTM; pendaftar; prediksi; universitas

Abstract: Student development includes conduct as a key component. Student behavior becomes crucial in deciding how successful students will be in different spheres of life. The variety of student behavior can hinder the learning… process and personal development of students. Through the development of an expert system-based counseling model based on backward chaining, this study seeks to discover trends in student behavior. The research process starts with problem analysis, goal setting, literature study, data collection, system design and implementation, and results analysis. It then moves on to counseling model development and implementation in the school setting. To determine the reasons for the unruly behavior of the kids, data were analyzed using a backward chaining methodology. UML Usecase diagrams are used in system design to define the roles of actors and users. The established counseling model, which consists of 14 behaviors, 67 phenomena/symptoms, and 14 rules, focuses on goals and methods to modify student behavior. Three students underwent system testing based on previously achieved goals from therapy. The findings revealed "Smoking," "Emotional Problems," and "Fighting" among the student behaviors. When the Backward Chaining-based counseling model is used, it is simpler for homeroom teachers to gather information about students' conduct from them and to offer remedies based on the transfer of professional knowledge without having to wait for the counselor guidance procedure
