KLASIFIKASI PELANGGAN PADA CUSTOMER CHURN PREDICTION MODELS MENGGUNAKAN DECISION TREE
Persaingan yang semakin ketat dalam dunia perdagangan modern menuntut perusahaan untuk menerapkan strategi retensi pelanggan yang proaktif, menjadikan prediksi customer churn (pelanggan yang berhenti menggunakan layanan) sebagai fokus utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan mengevaluasi model klasifikasi yang memanfaatkan data pelanggan historis guna mengidentifikasi secara dini pelanggan yang berpotensi churn atau tetap loyal. Metode yang digunakan adalah Data Mining, khususnya teknik Klasifikasi, dengan memilih algoritma Decision Tree C4.5 karena keunggulannya dalam menghasilkan aturan keputusan yang transparan dan mudah diinterpretasikan. Dataset yang dianalisis melibatkan 996 sampel pelanggan, mencakup berbagai atribut penting seperti jenis kelamin, usia, metode pembayaran, dan riwayat transaksi. Klasifikasi dilakukan untuk memprediksi status pelanggan ke dalam salah satu dari dua kategori target: loyal atau churn. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa model yang dibangun mampu mengklasifikasikan 636 pelanggan (sekitar 63.8%) sebagai kategori loyal dan 360 pelanggan (sekitar 36.2%) sebagai kategori churn, dengan mencapai tingkat akurasi model sebesar 98%. Temuan ini menunjukkan efektivitas Decision Tree C4.5 dalam memetakan pola loyalitas pelanggan. Secara praktis, model ini berkontribusi dalam menyediakan wawasan yang terukur bagi perusahaan untuk merumuskan inisiatif pemasaran dan retensi yang lebih tepat sasaran
REINTERPRETASI SIMBOL GARUDA DALAM TIGA LUKISAN KARYA PUTU SUTAWIJAYA
Transformasi simbol negara dalam seni rupa kontemporer membuka ruang dialog baru untuk memaknai nilai-nilai kebangsaan. Penelitian ini mengkaji reinterpretasi simbol Garuda dalam tiga karya Putu Sutawijaya pada pameran "Lelampah" pada tahun 2023 yang menunjukkan transformasi dari simbol kenegaraan menjadi representasi humanistik. Menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif-interpretatif dengan analisis semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce, tiga karya - "Gaja-Kaccapa," "Cak Amerta," dan "Menjaga #2" dikaji secara mendalam. Melalui analisis tingkatan tanda Peirce, ditemukan bahwa transformasi ikon Garuda (bentuk visual) menjadi indeks (gestur dan komposisi figur) menghasilkan simbol baru yang merepresentasikan nilai-nilai Pancasila: kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab dalam "Gaja-Kaccapa" melalui figur yang merangkul, demokrasi dalam gestur meditatif "Cak Amerta", serta persatuan Indonesia dalam komposisi figur yang saling bertautan pada "Menjaga #2". Hasil pembacaan semiotik ini menunjukkan bahwa Bhinneka Tunggal Ika adalah nilai yang hidup dan perlu dipraktikan melalui interaksi dan hubungan antarmanusia, tidak sekadar semboyan formal negara

This study underscores the transformative potential of social media in fostering body positivity and promoting a broader acceptance of beauty diversity
Baudrillard’s postmodernist perspective on aggression and violence expression in online media comment columns
This study attempts to bridge the thoughts of a postmodernist thinker, Jean Baudrillard, with the contemporary phenomenon of aggression and violence exhibited by online media audiences, particularly through the comment sections. These online audiences actively engage in comment sections by expressing aggressive and violent messages. Jean Baudrillard’s postmodernist perspective argues that consumers in the advanced information technology era can be deceived by systems created by capitalist entities. In alignment with this theme, the author establishes a correlation between media entrepreneurs' manipulation of online media consumers—through the engineered structure of comment sections—and the emergence of aggressive and violent communication behavior among online commenters. Referring to Baudrillard's notion, the comment section activity in online media can be regarded as a rather ecstatic form of communication that intoxicates its users and prompting continuous engagement, including the proliferation of aggressive and violent messages. This study employs the critical discourse analysis method introduced by Teun A. van Dijk, known as the Social Cognition Model. This model integrates three fundamental components of analysis: text, social cognition, and social context. It posits that any text appearing in the media is intrinsically linked to societal cognition and the underlying social context. From a societal perspective, aggressive and violent communication messages in online comment sections do not contribute positively or provide solutions to societal problems. Practically, this study seeks to propose viable solutions to these issues

Fan power and capital in JKT48’s senbatsu sousenkyo voting contest
Senbatsu Sousenkyo (SSK), adapted from Japanese idol sister groups, is an event that members JKT48 and fans look forward to. Through a voting system, fans play a role in determining which members will take center position in the next single. SSK as a general election always experiences a surge compared to the previous event. This shows the militancy of fans which has implications for the popularity of their idols. It cannot be denied that there are various capitals massively empowered to boost voting results. This research aims to explore the complex interactions and contestations of capital in popular culture, especially in the context of participatory democracy in SSK. This research also aims to identify the dominant forms of capital, explore the habitus displayed by fans, and analyze the doxa of the SSK competition arena as a reflection of power dynamics in popular culture. This research uses Pierre Bourdieu's approach in understanding the SSK phenomenon through the trilogy of habitus, field, and capital to analyze how fan practices reproduce power relations in digital fandom economies. This research uses qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection techniques in this research involved document tracing, non-participatory observation, and analysis of physical artifacts on several fanbase accounts, such as @FreyanationID and @C_Jessination48. This research finds that various capitals in SSK interact with each other to determine the outcome of contestation through, especially economic capital as the main factor in the voting system that boosts voting preferences for certain idols. The victory obtained through the mobilization of economic capital also raises other capitals such as symbolic and social capital related to the ‘closeness’ and previlege obtained by fans. These findings indicate that SSK is a capital-driven battleground that reinforces consumerist culture, produces fan hierarchies, and institutionalizes economic stratification within the idol group entertainment industry
