l Ready Player One. This research uses qualitative methods with a discourse analytic approach to examine how virtual identities are constructed in novels. Research data was obtained through novel analysis. Analysis was carried out by re-reading the novel and noting each scene that symbolized virtual identity. The research results show that Virtual Reality can be a place for individuals to experiment with their identity. In this novel, the main character Wade Watts uses an Avatar named Parzival to take part in a competition in the OASIS, a virtual world created by James Halliday. Wade chose this Avatar because he wanted to be a brave and strong figure, different from his true identity in the real world. Virtual Reality can have both positive and negative impacts on an individual's identity. On the one hand, Virtual Reality can be a place for individuals to experiment with their identity and find a more authentic identity. On the other hand, Virtual Reality can also influence individual identity by creating false and unrealistic virtual identities.

e it is the main industry and where growth is planned. This may incentivize the travel and hospitality sector, particularly the hotel sector, to explore for strategies to weather the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a literature survey method. This method helps understand the relevance of new research and its relationship with previous research, identifying all previous scientific literature, including books, journal articles and theses, relating to the potential of the hotel business as a Staycation trend. This research aims to determine the potential of the hotel business as a Staycation trend. The research results show that 4-star and 3-star hotels differ in their understanding and application of the terms Daycation and Staycation, which mean a holiday of one day or a maximum of eight hours, however two out of five hotels still use the term Staycation even though the holiday is less than eight hours. During the pandemic, the term Staycation is also used. The findings indicate that it is important to maintain or improve hotel products and the use of digital marketing, especially social media, and continue to innovate to maintain a good image which relate to the prospects of the hotel business as a holiday style.
Abstract:Islamic economics has different principles from conventional economics, including in terms of sales contracts. In Islamic economics, there are several types of sales contracts used, such as bai' al-salam (future sales) and…
nd bai’ al-salam(manufacturing sales). Trust sales contracts are also important in ensuring transparency of the price of the goods or services sold. The research method uses descriptive qualitative in describing and explaining specifically with literature studies in data collection. The purpose of this research is to find out specifically about the types and qualifications of sharia sales that do not contain gharar and usury. In Islamic economics, payments in sales contracts can be deferred or paid in installments without involving interest or riba. This allows the buyer to pay according to an agreed schedule. Sales contracts in the Islamic economy differ from interest-bearing loan contracts, where there is an exchange of goods or services at a predetermined price. Islamic banks use sales contracts as a legitimate alternative to interest-bearing loan contracts, allowing them to provide financing that is fair and compliant with sharia principles. In the Islamic economy, there are also contracts for the sale of future commodities (salam), the sale of manufacturing (istisna'), and currency exchange (sarf). Islamic banks have an important role to play in facilitating these sales contracts, as intermediaries who ensure the contracts adhere to Shariah principles and meet applicable legal requirements. With a good understanding of the different types of these sales contracts, economic actors can choose the ones that suit their needs while complying with sharia principles.

Abstract:Abstract: The selection of pediatric cough medicine at Apotek Keluarga is currently subjective and highly dependent on the pharmacist's experience, which potentially leads to inconsistent recommendations for customers. This…
his research aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to provide objective, fast, and accurate drug recommendations. The assessment criteria used in this system include cough type, side effects, age, and drug price, which are adjusted to clinical needs and consumer preferences. TOPSIS was chosen for its ability to rank drug alternatives based on their relative closeness to the positive ideal solution and the farthest distance from the negative ideal solution. The system development process involved problem identification, literature study, and data collection through interviews and direct field observations. The results indicate that the implementation of the TOPSIS method is effective in producing a list of cough medicine recommendations tailored to the specific conditions of pediatric patients. With this web-based system, the drug selection process becomes more transparent, systematic, and efficient, thereby enhancing the quality of pharmaceutical services at Apotek Keluarga.

Abstrak: Pemilihan obat batuk anak di Apotek Keluarga saat ini masih bersifat subjektif dan sangat bergantung pada pengalaman apoteker, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan ketidakkonsistenan dalam pemberian rekomendasi kepada pelanggan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan Sistem Pendukung Keputusan (SPK) menggunakan metode Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) guna memberikan rekomendasi obat secara objektif, cepat, dan akurat. Kriteria penilaian yang digunakan dalam sistem ini meliputi jenis batuk, efek samping, usia, dan harga obat, yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan klinis serta preferensi konsumen. Metode TOPSIS dipilih karena kemampuannya dalam meranking alternatif obat berdasarkan kedekatan relatif terhadap solusi ideal positif dan jarak terjauh dari solusi ideal negatif. Proses pengembangan sistem dilakukan melalui tahapan identifikasi masalah, studi literatur, serta pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan observasi langsung di lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan metode TOPSIS efektif dalam menghasilkan urutan rekomendasi obat batuk yang paling sesuai dengan kondisi spesifik pasien anak. Dengan adanya sistem berbasis web ini, proses pemilihan obat menjadi lebih transparan, sistematis, dan efisien, sehingga mampu meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan farmasi di Apotek Keluarga.

ually selecting extracurricular activities at Panti Budaya Private High School causes kids to lose sight of what interests them and what they're good at. Because of this, kids may stop participating in extracurricular activities and never discover their true passions. Hence, it is necessary to have a decision-support system that can appropriately suggest extracurricular activities to kids according to their abilities. The purpose of this study is to develop and construct a recommendation system that makes use of the MCDM technique, more especially the ELCTRE method, which stands for the Elimination and Choice Translation Reality. By applying predefined criteria to a set of alternatives, this approach can choose the optimal one. The goal of this approach is to help students reach their full potential by recommending extracurricular activities that are both relevant and accurate.

Abstrak: Pendidikan merupakan salah satu bidang yang merasakan dampak dari pertumbuhan eksponensial dalam daya komputasi. Pemrosesan data dan pengambilan keputusan semakin bergantung pada penggunaan sistem teknologi informasi. Memilih kegiatan ekstrakurikuler secara manual di SMA Swasta Panti Budaya menyebabkan anak-anak kehilangan minat pada apa yang mereka sukai dan apa yang mereka kuasai. Karena hal ini, anak-anak mungkin berhenti berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dan tidak pernah menemukan gairah sejati mereka. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sistem pendukung keputusan yang dapat secara tepat menyarankan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler kepada anak-anak sesuai dengan kemampuan mereka. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan dan membangun sistem rekomendasi yang memanfaatkan teknik MCDM, khususnya metode ELCTRE, yang merupakan singkatan dari Elimination and Choice Translation Reality. Dengan menerapkan kriteria yang telah ditentukan sebelumnya pada serangkaian alternatif, pendekatan ini dapat memilih yang optimal. Tujuan dari pendekatan ini adalah untuk membantu siswa mencapai potensi penuh mereka dengan merekomendasikan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler yang relevan dan akurat.
