DESIGNING A MICROSOFT EXCEL-BASED COFFEE SALES RECORDING SYSTEM USING INDEX, MATCH, AND SUMIFS FUNCTIONS (Case Study Of PT. DEF)

Anggaini, Risna, Nurrahman, Syafran, Ramadhani, Saskia Nur, Ndaung, Yohana Cesyika
Abstract: • DEF is a company engaged in the sale of coffee, both wholesale and retail. Currently, the sales recording system is still carried out manually, which often leads to problems such as delays in reporting, data entry errors,… rors, and difficulties in retrieving historical information. This study aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the sales recording system by implementing the INDEX MATCH and SUMIFS functions in Microsoft Excel. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation of the existing system. The results show that the use of INDEX MATCH and SUMIFS can accelerate the data retrieval process, improve the accuracy of sales reports, and reduce input errors. This study provides a practical solution for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in implementing an efficient sales recording system without requiring significant investment in ERP software. However, the system still has limitations, such as dependence on Excel files that are vulnerable to damage or unintended changes, and the lack of advanced automation features such as receivables reminders or inter-departmental integration. Therefore, future research is expected to develop a web-based system with a centralized database.

Ota, Muhammad, Prasetya, Andwini, Moulina, Methatias Ayu, Darius, Darius
Abstract: This study aims to characterize the effect of food additives on the quality of meatballs made from palm mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea) and mocaf flour. Meatballs were made with a formulation of 70% palm mushrooms and 30%… 0% mocaf, and the addition of carrageenan, CMC, and STPP at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1% with 9 treatments. The parameters analyzed included yield, water content, protein, fiber, organoleptic and production cost. The results showed that the yield ranged from 82.15–96.39% and was significantly different between treatments. Water content was 65.01–70.60%, while the highest protein and fiber content was obtained with the addition of 0.25% carrageenan, respectively 10.53% and 7.97%, respectively. The type and concentration of food additives significantly affected the yield, water content, protein, fiber and texture but did not significantly affect the color and taste of palm mushroom and mocaf flour meatballs.

Rauzatul Jannah, Putra, Yadi, Andriani, Irma
Abstract: Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood pressure on the artery walls, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. This study aimed to determine&#8230; the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on lowering blood pressure in elderly people in Bate Linteng and Lambunot Villages, Aceh Besar. This quantitative study used a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest. The study was conducted from August 26 to August 31, 2024, with a population and sample of 16 elderly respondents with a history of hypertension. Data collection was conducted through observation using an observation sheet and the provision of deep breathing relaxation techniques. The results showed that the average blood pressure before the intervention was 148/90 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.674, while after the intervention, it decreased to 143/87 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.050. The statistical test results using the Paired Sample t-Test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect between deep breathing relaxation techniques and blood pressure reduction. The results of this study are expected to provide information for hypertension sufferers and their families that deep breathing relaxation techniques are a form of non-pharmacological therapy that can be performed independently to control blood pressure.

THE INFLUENCE OF FEAR OF MISSING OUT (FOMO) AND HEDONIC SHOPPING ON IMPULSE BUYING WITH SELF-CONTROL AS A MODERATING VARIABLE AMONG STUDENT SHOPEE USERS (A CASE STUDY OF STUDENTS FROM THE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS, UNIVERSITAS NEGERI GORONTALO, CLASS OF 2022)

Abullah, Aditya Febriansyah, Asnawi, Melan Angriani, Isa, Ramlan Amir
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), hedonic shopping, and self-control on impulse buying among students who use Shopee, as well as to examine the role of self-control as a moderating variable.&#8230; able. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, class of 2022, as respondents. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires distributed through forms and Google Forms. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS and SEM-PLS 4.1 to test the relationships among variables. The results show that Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and hedonic shopping have a positive effect on impulse buying. This indicates that digital social pressure and pleasure-driven motivation are the main factors encouraging students to engage in impulsive purchases. In contrast, self-control does not affect impulse buying, suggesting that students’ ability to regulate themselves is not yet strong enough to reduce impulsive consumption behavior. This condition is influenced by the characteristics of students who do not yet have a stable income, so self-control has not developed optimally in financial management due to the absence of income.

Utina, Almuhajir Baihaqy, Noholo, Sahmin, Husain, Siti Pratiwi
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Current Ratio (CR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on Return on Assets (ROA) in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2024. The research&#8230; search method employed is a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The data used are secondary data obtained from companies’ financial statements, with a total sample of 110 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results show that partially, the Current Ratio (CR) has no significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), with a significance value of 0.833. Meanwhile, the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) has a negative and significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), with a significance value of 0.000. Simultaneously, Current Ratio (CR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) have a significant effect on Return on Assets (ROA), as indicated by an F-test significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) of 0.128 indicates that the independent variables explain 12.8% of the variation in ROA, while the remaining 87.2% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. This study concludes that capital structure plays a more dominant role in influencing profitability compared to liquidity in energy sector companies. Therefore, companies are expected to manage debt usage optimally to improve financial performance.

ACCOUNTABILITY OF CIVIL CIVIL APPARATUS PERFORMANCE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND CULTURE OF WEST KALIMANTAN PROVINCE

Andriani, Nining
Abstract: The problem in this research includes the still low level of ASN compliance in compiling and reporting Employee Performance Targets. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the performance measurement of civil&#8230; il servants at the Education and Culture Office of West Kalimantan Province, seen from the aspects of: Accountability, Responsibility, and Responsiveness. The results of the study indicate that Accountability, Responsibility, and Responsiveness are key elements in reflecting the quality of civil servant performance at the Education and Culture Office of West Kalimantan Province. However, in its implementation, these three aspects have not been running optimally. ASN accountability is still hampered by a lack of discipline in reporting and minimal transparency of work results. Responsibility is also not fully reflected in ASN's commitment to carrying out duties and responsibilities professionally. On the other hand, responsiveness to community needs, especially in the fields of education and culture, is still relatively slow, which indicates a lack of active involvement of ASN in absorbing and responding to public aspirations quickly and appropriately. This research recommends strategic steps to strengthen accountability through a more structured and regularly monitored performance reporting system. Improving accountability can be achieved through ongoing development, professional ethics training, and consistent enforcement of work discipline. To enhance responsiveness, a more participatory and adaptive public service mechanism needs to be developed to meet community needs.

THE INFLUENCE OF COACHING-BASED ACADEMIC SUPERVISION ON TEACHER PERFORMANCE AT SMA NEGERI 1 AMURANG AND SMA NEGERI 1 MOTOLING

Liow, Swingly Suriadi Yesaya, Lengkong, Jeffry S.J, Katuuk, Deitje A.
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of coaching-based academic supervision on teacher performance at SMA Negeri 1 Amurang and SMA Negeri 1 Motoling. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design.&#8230; ign. The population consisted of 122 teachers, all of whom were included as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included descriptive analysis, prerequisite tests, and simple linear regression. The results showed that coaching-based academic supervision does not have a significant effect on teacher performance (p > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.013 indicates that the contribution of coaching-based academic supervision to teacher performance is very low, accounting for only 1.3%, while most of the variation in teacher performance is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings indicate that coaching-based academic supervision has not been able to directly improve teacher performance, especially when its implementation is not carried out consistently and in depth. This study emphasizes that the effectiveness of coaching-based supervision is contextual and highly dependent on the quality of implementation and the support of the school’s organizational environment.
