Implementation and Evaluation of User-Centered Design in an Online New Student Admissions System for Early Childhood Education
The new student admissions process is often conducted conventionally, requiring parents to visit educational institutions in person to submit physical documents. This approach tends to be inefficient, poses risks of document loss or damage, and slows down data analysis. Promotional methods relying on word-of-mouth and social media are also considered less optimal. To enhance efficiency and user experience, a web-based admissions system was developed using a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach. The UCD method was applied to understand the needs and characteristics of key users, including administrators, admissions committee members, school principals, and parents. The development process involved three iterations, covering user needs analysis, user experience-based interface design, testing, and repeated evaluations. The system includes features such as online registration, data management, a payment system, automated notifications, and geolocation to assist parents in estimating school distance. System evaluation using black-box testing and usability testing resulted in a System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 92.125, classified as "Excellent." These findings indicate that the UCD approach effectively produces systems that align with user needs and improve the efficiency of new student admissions.The new student admissions process is often conducted conventionally, requiring parents to visit educational institutions in person to submit physical documents.

Heavy Equipment Rental Information System Development using the Prototyping Method
A private company engaged in heavy equipment rental services, established on June 19, 2012, in Pekanbaru. In the current business process, customers who wish to rent heavy equipment or seek information about it can only do so during office hours, making the rental process less efficient. Record-keeping is still done using Excel, which increases the risk of data loss. Therefore, a solution has been proposed to develop a web-based information system to access and manage the process easily. The information system was developed using the prototyping method. The choice of the prototyping method is made to speed up development time, ease system completion, and avoid discrepancies between developers and users. The information system is then tested through Black Box testing and usability testing. From the Black Box testing results, it was found that the system\u27s functionality for all users has been successfully implemented and operates as expected. Meanwhile, the usability testing results showed an average score of 89%, indicating that users strongly agree with the system\u27s usability. This research helps to facilitate customers and administrators in the heavy equipment rental process by providing quick and easy access to information on prices, schedules, and equipment types, while also improving data recording to reduce the risk of data loss and facilitate administrative tasks
Liquidity vs. Sustainability Dilemma: Do Loan Ratios Hinder Social Transparency in Banks of Emerging Asia-Pacific?
The aim of this study is to analyze the fundamental dilemma in banking concerning the trade-off between liquidity management and sustainability commitments, with a focus on the banking sector in emerging Asia-Pacific economies. The findings reveal that banks with higher Total Loans to Total Deposits (TLTD) ratios tend to exhibit stronger Social Disclosure Scores (SDS), driven by stricter regulatory oversight. In contrast, banks with higher Total Loans to Total Assets (TLTA) ratios demonstrate weaker sustainability disclosures, prioritizing financial performance over ESG commitments. This study highlights the crucial role of regulatory pressure in encouraging banks to improve ESG transparency, even when short-term financial gains are prioritized. The findings underscore the need for policymakers to develop regulatory frameworks that not only enforce sustainability disclosures for high-risk banks but also incentivize asset-heavy institutions to integrate ESG principles into their core financial strategies, ensuring a balanced approach to sustainability and financial stability
Identification Food Nutrition and Weight Prediction using Image Processing
Obesity is a global issue with rising prevalence each year, driven partly by excess nutrient and calorie intake. Identifying nutrient content in food is vital to prevent obesity. This research employs image processing, specifically the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm, to classify and identify fruits and vegetables quickly and accurately. YOLO is advantageous for its speed and ability to classify multiple objects simultaneously. The goal is to develop a system that recognizes, classifies, and predicts the weight of fruits and vegetables, providing nutritional and calorie information. Tests showed that the system accurately detects produce under various lighting conditions—achieving 100% accuracy with additional ring light (600–650 lux) and 99.2% without extra lighting. Beyond object detection, the system predicts weight with an average error of 5.6% when illuminated. This technology has the potential to aid users in monitoring nutritional intake by providing reliable identification and calorie data, contributing to obesity prevention efforts
