New student admissions (PMB) promotion is an important factor in increasing the number and quality of prospective students. However, promotional strategies that do not optimally utilize historical data can result in less targeted promotional activities. This study aims to analyze historical PMB data as a basis for developing a more effective promotional strategy in the Information and Computer Technology Department of the Lhokseumawe State Polytechnic. The study uses a descriptive quantitative approach utilizing secondary PMB data for the 2023–2025 period. The analysis was carried out through the stages of data cleaning, data transformation, descriptive statistics, prospective student segmentation, and data visualization using an analytical dashboard. The variables analyzed included study program, school of origin, major of origin of school, sub-district, regency/city, province, admission route, and applicant information sources. The results show that most applicants come from Aceh Province, especially North Aceh Regency and Lhokseumawe City, with a predominance of science graduates and the greatest interest in the Informatics Engineering Study Program. Instagram and websites are the main sources of information for prospective students. The use of historical data through data visualization can provide more comprehensive information regarding the characteristics of prospective students so that it can support decision-making in developing more targeted, effective, and data-based PMB promotion strategies.

Abstract:The transition into emerging adulthood frequently induces life-direction anxiety, commonly known as a quarter-life crisis, among university students. This correlational quantitative investigation was designed to evaluate…
the correlation between the intensity of the quarter-life crisis (Variable X) and self-esteem (Variable Y) among active students at the State Christian Institute of Kupang (IAKN Kupang). Employing a sample of 30 participants gathered via probability sampling techniques, data collection was conducted utilizing Likert-scale questionnaires and statistically processed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation formula. The empirical analysis demonstrates a significant and highly robust positive correlation between the investigated constructs ($r = 0.769$; $p = 0.000$). This outcome highlights a noteworthy theoretical anomaly, wherein heightened levels of crisis are unexpectedly linked with enhanced self-esteem. This distinct psychological pattern is driven by active internal introspection, a purposeful pursuit of life meaning, and personal identity consolidation amid adversity. Furthermore, the campus culture at IAKN Kupang—characterized by comprehensive spiritual mentoring, robust peer networks, and a nurturing social atmosphere—serves as a constructive emotional buffer. These external dynamics empower students to navigate developmental stress adaptively, demonstrating that rather than diminishing their self-worth, the identity crisis ultimately bolsters their personal resilience.

Abstract:Perkembangan teknologi digital dan pesatnya pertumbuhan e-commerce di Indonesia telah mengubah pola konsumsi masyarakat, termasuk dalam pembelian produk kosmetik. Marketplace seperti Lazada menjadi alternatif utama bagi…
konsumen untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tanpa harus berbelanja langsung di toko fisik. Dalam proses menentukan keputusan pembelian, konsumen cenderung memberi perhatian utama pada dua faktor penting, yaitu harga dan kualitas produk. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengukur sejauh mana pengaruh kedua faktor tersebut terhadap minat beli produk kosmetik secara online di platform Lazada, khususnya di kalangan mahasiswa.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan populasi mahasiswa International Women University yang pernah melakukan pembelian produk kosmetik melalui Lazada. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 94 responden yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner dengan skala Likert, sedangkan analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi linier berganda melalui aplikasi IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa variabel harga (X1) dan kualitas produk (X2) berpengaruh positif serta signifikan terhadap minat beli (Y), baik secara parsial maupun simultan. Koefisien regresi harga sebesar 0,484, sementara kualitas produk sebesar 0,443, yang mengindikasikan bahwa harga memiliki pengaruh lebih dominan dibandingkan kualitas produk. Secara simultan, kedua variabel tersebut mampu menjelaskan 78,5% variasi minat beli konsumen terhadap produk kosmetik di marketplace Lazada.
Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan strategi harga yang kompetitif serta penyediaan produk berkualitas tinggi merupakan elemen kunci untuk mendorong minat beli konsumen di pasar digital. Secara teoritis, penelitian ini memperkaya literatur mengenai perilaku konsumen digital, sementara secara praktis, memberikan masukan bagi pelaku usaha untuk mengoptimalkan strategi pemasaran online dengan memperhatikan kedua faktor tersebut. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya, disarankan penambahan variabel lain seperti promosi digital, tingkat kepercayaan terhadap platform, dan ulasan pelanggan, serta memperluas jangkauan sampel agar hasil penelitian memiliki daya generalisasi yang lebih tinggi.

Abstract:Despite decades of global HIV/AIDS education efforts, the gap between awareness and preventive behavior among youth remains a persistent challenge. University students—typically well-educated and socially engaged—are expected…
expected to be proactive in health matters, yet many remain passive in HIV prevention efforts. This study examines the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of university students in Indonesia regarding HIV/AIDS, and analyzes the cognitive and structural barriers that hinder behavioral change. The research applies two theoretical frameworks: the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Health Belief Model (HBM). A quantitative survey was conducted among 268 students at Hasanuddin University. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assess levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and preventive actions. Skewness and kurtosis were also calculated to explore distributional patterns. While students demonstrated high levels of knowledge (M = 16.34) and positive attitudes (M = 31.36), their preventive behavior was notably low (M = 10.74), with skewed distributions indicating widespread inaction. Misconceptions about HIV transmission and curability were common. Both TPB and HBM helped explain the role of perceived barriers, weak normative support, and low self-efficacy in limiting behavioral intention. Findings highlight a critical knowledge–action gap driven by social stigma, misinformation, and lack of institutional cues to action. Effective HIV prevention requires not only awareness but also structured interventions that enhance agency, normalize testing, and dismantle behavioral barriers within youth populations
