room conflicts. This study develops a web-based scheduling information system that centralizes timetable data, detects collisions automatically, and offers alternatives with support from the Google Gemini API. Development followed the Waterfall System Development Life Cycle, comprising requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The application was built with PHP, Laravel, and MySQL. A deterministic rule identifies overlapping allocations involving the same instructor, class, or room on the same day. Gemini is used only to rank and explain feasible candidates; the application revalidates each recommendation, and the Study Program Secretary retains final approval. Black-box testing of ten functions achieved a 100% success rate. Beta testing produced an average score of 89.22% from three experts and 89.79% from two users, with both results classified as Very Good. The findings indicate that the system is highly feasible for integrated course timetable preparation and administration.

an Android-based third-party application paired with a custom keyboard. This workflow caused severe device incompatibility, system crashes, and manual score recapitulation delays lasting up to one week. This research aims to design and develop an integrated web-based examination application utilizing the Django framework under the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model to support Midterm (PTS) and Final (PAS) semester exams. The application features master data management, manual question authoring and bulk imports via Excel, token-protected scheduling, asynchronous AJAX auto-saving on computer-based test (CBT) sheets, live proctoring controls, auto-grading, score visibility authorization (Hide Score), and dynamic class-filtered report exports in Excel and PDF formats. System evaluation was conducted through Alpha testing (White Box and Black Box testing) and Beta testing (ISO/IEC 25010:2011 quality evaluation by system experts and End-User Computing Satisfaction/EUCS by end-users). Alpha testing verified that all 29 independent logic paths in White Box testing executed without branching errors and Black Box testing achieved 100% validity across 13 functional modules. Beta testing with 2 system experts yielded an average score of 98.25% (Very Good), and end-user testing involving 27 respondents achieved an average satisfaction score of 84.75% (Very Good). Thus, the developed system is highly feasible, reliable, and effective for school examination operations.

ynchronization. This research aims to develop a QR Code-based online attendance mobile application that can be used by both teachers and students in real time. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the Waterfall software development model, covering the stages of requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The application was developed using WebApp as the mobile platform, Laravel as the backend, and MySQL as the database. The student attendance process is carried out by scanning a QR Code displayed by the teacher, after which attendance data is automatically stored in the database via a REST API. System testing was conducted through alpha testing (white box and black box) as well as beta testing involving experts and end users. The test results show that all primary system functions run according to the design. Beta testing with experts obtained an average score of 86%, categorized as very good, while beta testing with users obtained an average score of 96%, also categorized as very good. The developed application is considered feasible for use and able to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the attendance process at the school.

ation results and the distribution of Graduation Certificates (Surat Keterangan Lulus/SKL), which makes the delivery of information relatively inefficient. This study aims to build a web-based Student Graduation Information System for vocational high schools (SMK) that simplifies graduation-data management for school administrators and gives students online access to their graduation information. The system was built using the Waterfall method, covering requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, and was implemented with the Laravel framework, the PHP programming language, a MySQL database, and a Bootstrap interface. It serves two types of users: administrators, who manage graduation data, and students, who can check their graduation status without logging in by entering their National Student Identification Number (NISN). Students who pass can download their SKL directly in PDF format. The system was evaluated through Black Box Testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS). Testing showed that every system function operated as intended, while the usability evaluation returned an average SUS score of 84.5, placing it in the Excellent (Grade A) category. Overall, the system improves the efficiency of school administration, speeds up the delivery of graduation information, and supports the broader digitalization of educational services.

s and hypothesis testing with SEM-AMOS version 23. The population of this study consists of users of online food delivery applications across Indonesia, with the unit of analysis being individuals. Data for this study were obtained from 135 respondents who filled out an online questionnaire based on a purposive sampling method. The results of the study indicate that discount framing has a positive effect on brand reputation and e-satisfaction. Brand reputation positively affects e-satisfaction. E-satisfaction positively impacts e-loyalty. This indicates that the higher the discount framing, the better the brand reputation and e-satisfaction for ordering food. Furthermore, the better the brand reputation, the higher the e-satisfaction, and the higher the e-satisfaction, the better the e-loyalty in ordering food through online food delivery applications. The implications of these results for application owners are to understand the influence of discount framing, brand reputation, e-satisfaction, and e-loyalty, so they can formulate strategies and policies related to these factors. Meanwhile, the implication for application users is that they can use applications that offer discount framing that suits their needs.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of perceived accessibility, merchant sales promotion, and pain of paying on impulsive buying among Generation Z QRIS users in Manado City, both partially and simultaneously. This research…
earch is motivated by the rapid growth of QRIS usage in Indonesia, which reached a transaction value of IDR 317 trillion with more than 57 million active users in the second quarter of 2025, alongside the increasing phenomenon of unplanned purchasing behavior among Generation Z as the primary users of this digital payment technology. This study employs a quantitative approach with a causal design (explanatory research). The theoretical foundations used are the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) Theory and Mental Accounting Theory. The study population consists of Generation Z QRIS users in Manado City, with a sample of 100 respondents determined using the Lemeshow formula and purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire measured using a Likert Scale. The analysis technique employed is multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS 27 software, encompassing validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, F-test, t-test, and coefficient of determination (R²) test. The results indicate that: (1) Perceived accessibility has a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying (t = 2.176; Sig. = 0.032); (2) Merchant sales promotion has a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying (t = 2.279; Sig. = 0.025); (3) Pain of paying has a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying and is the most dominant variable (t = 3.150; Sig. = 0.002; β = 0.314); (4) Simultaneously, all three variables have a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying (F = 9.972; Sig. < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.238 indicates that the three independent variables explain 23.8% of the variation in impulsive buying, while the remaining 76.2% is influenced by other factors outside this research model.

the process of discovering their identity, are highly vulnerable to environmental and social influences that can lead to drug abuse. This study aims to determine the efforts made by the National Narcotics Agency (BNNK) of South Tapanuli Regency in preventing and handling drug abuse among adolescents in the South Tapanuli area. This study used a qualitative approach with field research methods. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants in this study were employees of the BNNK of South Tapanuli, specifically the Prevention and Community Empowerment (P2M) team and the rehabilitation team. The results of the study indicate that prevention efforts are carried out through socialization, counseling, education, and collaboration with various parties in supporting the Prevention, Eradication of Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (P4GN) program. Meanwhile, handling efforts are carried out through assessment, counseling, rehabilitation, and post-rehabilitation monitoring for drug abusers. The obstacles faced include low awareness in some communities, the influence of social circles, stigma against former drug users, and developments in technology and social media. Therefore, collaboration between families, schools, communities, and the government is necessary to support successful efforts to prevent and address drug abuse in teenagers.

Abstract:This study is motivated by the rapid development of digital financial services, particularly Shopee PayLater, which has the potential to increase consumerist behaviour among students. This phenomenon requires examination…
not only from economic and psychological perspectives, but also from the perspective of Islamic accounting, which emphasises balance and control over consumption. This study aims to analyse the influence of lifestyle and self-control on the consumer behaviour of Shopee PayLater users and to test the role of Islamic accounting principles as a moderating variable. This study employs a quantitative approach. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to students and analysed using Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM-PLS) with the SmartPLS application version 4.1.1.6. The results indicate that lifestyle has a positive and significant influence on consumer behaviour, whilst self-control does not have a significant influence. Sharia accounting principles have a direct and significant influence on consumptive behaviour, but are unable to moderate the relationship between lifestyle or self-control and consumptive behaviour. These findings suggest that consumer behaviour is influenced more by external factors such as lifestyle and the convenience of digital services than by internal factors within the individual, and indicate that Sharia values have not yet been fully integrated into everyday life.
