legally at discounted prices represent an underexplored segment of circular fashion consumption. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Value-Based Adoption Model, this study tests a structural model in which four antecedents defect transparency, price perception, environmental consciousness, and store reputation influence purchase intention through the mediating role of perceived value. A quantitative survey was conducted with 250 consumers who visited factory outlets in Makassar. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS 4.0. Common Method Bias was confirmed absent using Harman's Single Factor Test and Full Collinearity VIF. Results indicate that all four antecedents positively influence perceived value, which strongly predicts purchase intention. Price perception is the dominant driver, followed by store reputation, environmental consciousness, and defect transparency. Perceived value fully mediates the effect of defect transparency and partially mediates the remaining three antecedents. These findings contribute to circular fashion consumer behavior literature and offer practical guidance for factory outlet operators in Eastern Indonesia.

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.

penjuru dunia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkuantifikasi tingkat kemiringan masing-masing jalur dengan memanfaatkan konsep gradien dalam kerangka kalkulus peubah banyak. Data elevasi setiap stasiun serta panjang segmen antar-stasiun dikumpulkan dan diolah untuk memperoleh nilai kemiringan per segmen maupun kemiringan rata-rata keseluruhan jalur. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa jalur Yoshida memiliki kemiringan rata-rata sebesar 23,36% (setara 13,15°), sedangkan jalur Fujinomiya mencatat kemiringan rata-rata yang lebih tinggi, yakni 31,54% (setara 17,50°). Segmen paling curam pada jalur Yoshida terletak di antara Stasiun 5 dan Stasiun 6 dengan kemiringan 45,45%, sementara segmen paling curam pada jalur Fujinomiya berada di antara Stasiun 8 dan Stasiun 9a dengan kemiringan 65,69%. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa jalur Yoshida lebih sesuai bagi pendaki pemula, sedangkan jalur Fujinomiya menuntut kondisi fisik yang lebih prima.
