https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/255
<p>Pemilihan lokasi perumahan merupakan salah satu proses pengambilan keputusan yang cukup kompleks karena calon pembeli sering mengalami kesulitan dalam menentukan perumahan terbaik berdasarkan berbagai kriteria yang harus dipertimbangkan secara bersamaan, seperti akses lokasi, sarana dan prasarana, kondisi lingkungan, harga, dan kondisi jalan. Perbedaan tingkat kepentingan setiap kriteria serta adanya penilaian yang bersifat subjektif menyebabkan proses pemilihan menjadi kurang efektif apabila dilakukan secara manual. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan metode Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (FMADM) menggunakan metode TOPSIS dalam memberikan rekomendasi pemilihan lokasi perumahan terbaik. Metode TOPSIS menggunakan matriks keputusan yang menggambarkan hubungan antara kriteria dan alternatif, di mana matriks tersebut berisi nilai-nilai kriteria yang menunjukkan kinerja relatif setiap alternatif terhadap masing-masing kriteria. Berdasarkan hasil perangkingan, alternatif yang memperoleh peringkat pertama adalah Arum Lestari dengan nilai sebesar 0,561737951, peringkat kedua adalah Springhill dan Amaya Residence dengan nilai sebesar 0,522774425, peringkat ketiga adalah Citra Garden dengan nilai sebesar 0,5, dan peringkat keempat adalah Bumi Asri Residence dengan nilai sebesar 0,477225576.</p>Donaya PashaAri Sulistiyawati

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/264
<p>Supplier selection is a strategic decision that directly affects operational efficiency and supply chain performance. This study aims to propose a multi-criteria decision-making approach to evaluate and rank suppliers objectively based on multiple performance indicators. The evaluation is conducted using five main criteria, namely price, quality, delivery, responsiveness, and capacity and flexibility. A total of nine supplier alternatives were assessed, and a quantitative decision model was applied to aggregate the performance of each alternative into a final score and ranking. The results indicate that the proposed approach is capable of clearly distinguishing supplier performance, as reflected in the significant differences in final scores across alternatives. The ranking results show that PT Cipta Solusi Persada achieved the first position with a final score of 0.5171, followed by PT Karya Nusantara with a score of 0.4626 in the second position, and PT Prima Logistik Indonesia with a score of 0.3922 in the third position. These findings demonstrate that suppliers with balanced performance across all criteria tend to achieve higher rankings. The study also highlights that suppliers with lower rankings generally exhibit structural weaknesses in key criteria, suggesting the need for performance improvement or strategic reconsideration.</p>Setiawansyah SetiawansyahIryanto Chandra

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/274
<p>Choosing a study program is a critical academic decision because it affects students' learning direction, skill development, and career readiness. This study designs, implements, and evaluates a web-based Decision Support System for study program recommendation using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The model uses four criteria: interest and talent, technology-related hobby, academic score, and job prospects. The research used teacher criteria data before web implementation and student alternative data after the system was implemented. Teacher matrices were screened using the Consistency Ratio requirement, and the valid matrix produced criteria weights of 0.436 for interest and talent, 0.320 for job prospects, 0.192 for technology-related hobby, and 0.053 for academic score. The system was developed with Python and Flask, then evaluated using Black Box Testing and User Acceptance Testing. The main scenario produced Informatics Engineering as the first recommendation with a score of 0.4880 or 49 percent. Across 24 post-implementation student responses, Informatics Engineering was also the most frequent top recommendation, appearing in 10 responses, followed by Mathematics in 9 responses. However, only 16 of 96 student alternative matrices met the CR threshold, which indicates that automatic consistency validation is needed. Black Box Testing confirmed that all tested core functions worked as expected, and UAT produced an acceptance percentage of 81 percent. These results show that the proposed system can provide systematic and usable recommendation support, while consistency control remains the main technical improvement needed.</p>Aldyth Najma Rova MarthinMahardika Inra TakaendenganMarline Sofiana Paendong

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/283
<p>Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) play a crucial role in protecting computer networks from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Although machine learning techniques have demonstrated high detection performance, many models operate as black-box systems, making it difficult for security analysts to understand the reasoning behind prediction outcomes. This study proposes an explainable machine learning framework for network intrusion detection using the Random Forest algorithm and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations)-based feature interpretation. The CICIDS2017 Friday-WorkingHours-Afternoon-DDos dataset was utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Data preprocessing included data cleaning, handling missing values, label encoding, and dataset partitioning. The Random Forest classifier was trained and evaluated using Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-Score metrics. Experimental results demonstrated excellent classification performance, achieving an accuracy of 99.9889%, precision of 99.9922%, recall of 99.9883%, and F1-score of 99.9902%. Furthermore, SHAP analysis was employed to improve model interpretability by identifying the contribution of individual features to intrusion detection decisions. The results revealed that Fwd Packet Length Max, Destination Port, Avg Fwd Segment Size, and Fwd Packet Length Mean were among the most influential features affecting classification outcomes. The integration of Random Forest and SHAP not only achieved highly accurate intrusion detection but also enhanced transparency and trustworthiness by providing meaningful explanations for model predictions. Therefore, the proposed framework offers an effective and interpretable solution for network intrusion detection in modern cybersecurity environments.</p>Eka Wahyu SholehaDery Yuswanto JayaQorry Aina Fitroh

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/290
<p>The rapid growth of information technology and internet usage has increased cybersecurity threats to web-based applications. The website of SMK VIP Al Huda Kebumen, which functions as a digital information and service platform, has the potential to become a target of cyberattacks if security evaluations are not conducted regularly. This study aims to analyze the security level of the SMK VIP Al Huda Kebumen website using the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) method. PTES was chosen because it provides systematic testing stages including pre-engagement interaction, information gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. The testing process utilized several tools such as Zenmap/Nmap, OWASP ZAP, SQLMap, DNS Scan, and Infoga. The results indicate that the website still has several potential security vulnerabilities, including open service ports, brute force attack risks on SSH services, credential theft risks on FTP services, and possible exploitation of cPanel services. In addition, the vulnerability analysis identified several low and medium risk vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by attackers. Although the system is protected by a firewall and uses Linux operating system with Apache web server, further improvements are still required through regular system updates, better encryption implementation, service access restrictions, and additional security policies. This research is expected to become a reference for improving school website security and preventing cyber threats in educational environments.</p>Abdur Rahman FadilahGhufron Zaida Muflih

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/295
<p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi kelemahan sistem seleksi mahasiswa berprestasi yang sering kali hanya mengandalkan nilai akumulatif (IPK) tanpa mempertimbangkan stabilitas performa akademik mahasiswa. Ketimpangan nilai yang ekstrem antara komponen Tugas, UTS, dan UAS dianggap sebagai hambatan bagi dosen pengampu dalam mengevaluasi dinamika belajar yang sesungguhnya. Oleh karena itu, diusulkan sebuah model pendukung keputusan <em>hybrid</em> yang mengintegrasikan algoritma K-Means Clustering dan metode MARCOS. Dalam implementasinya, algoritma K-Means digunakan sebagai penyaring awal untuk mendeteksi anomali data melalui fitur <em>Mean</em> dan Standar Deviasi. Berdasarkan metode <em>Elbow</em>, ditemukan bahwa jumlah klaster optimal adalah dua (k=2), yang membagi 129 data mahasiswa menjadi 80 mahasiswa dengan profil nilai konsisten (Klaster Normal) dan 49 mahasiswa dengan nilai yang fluktuatif (Klaster Anomali). Validasi klaster menunjukkan <em>Silhouette Score</em> sebesar 0,4869. Mahasiswa pada Klaster Normal kemudian diperingkat menggunakan metode MARCOS yang mempertimbangkan bobot kriteria, yaitu Tugas (20%), UTS (30%), dan UAS (50%). Hasil uji sensitivitas melalui Koefisien Korelasi Spearman menunjukkan nilai sebesar 0,9418, yang secara kuantitatif membuktikan bahwa posisi mahasiswa pada peringkat teratas tetap stabil dan tidak tergoyahkan meskipun dilakukan simulasi perubahan bobot kriteria. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penggabungan K-Means dan MARCOS menghasilkan sistem evaluasi yang lebih objektif, transparan, dan tahan terhadap bias subjektif, sehingga sangat layak diterapkan untuk menyeleksi kandidat dengan prestasi yang konsisten.</p>Annisa Elfina AugustiaAndreas Adi TrinotoErlin Windia Ambarsari

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/291
<p>The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponic system requires stable nutrient solution management, particularly pH and nutrient concentration parameters that affect plant nutrient absorption. Based on observations conducted at the Mega Regency greenhouse, pH and nutrient monitoring are still performed manually, causing changes in nutrient conditions to not be monitored continuously in real-time. This study aims to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring and control system for nutrient solutions in NFT hydroponics. The development method used is Rapid Application Development (RAD). The system was developed using an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with pH, TDS, DS18B20 temperature, and ultrasonic sensors, as well as actuators in the form of pH up, pH down, and AB Mix nutrient pumps. Sensor data were processed using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) method to reduce reading noise, while the control process applied the hysteresis method. Monitoring data were sent to the ThingsBoard platform and displayed through a Cloud-based dashboard. The results showed that the system was capable of continuously monitoring pH, nutrient concentration, temperature, and water level, with sensor accuracy reaching 95.84% for pH, 98.66% for TDS, and 97.14% for ultrasonic sensors. The EMA method effectively reduced sensor reading fluctuations by up to 0.74 pH units, while the hysteresis method maintained parameters within the specified range through automatic pump activation. During integration, electrochemical interference was found between pH and TDS sensor probes in the same reservoir. Various solutions were attempted progressively, from voltage stabilization using capacitors, switching power mechanism via transistors, to probe relocation to different pipe flow points as the more effective final solution. The developed system supports hydroponic management more effectively and automatically</p>Rafif Zetta Rajendra PragiwokoRully Pramudita

https://ejournal.techcart-press.com/index.php/chain/article/view/310
<p>PT Interskala Mandiri Indonesia relies on manual input of Price Look Up (PLU) codes on the keypad for digital weighing, which results in human errors and lower operational efficiency. This study presents the development of an AIoT-based digital scale that integrates YOLOv8 for automatic fruit classification and leverages a Virtual Private Server (VPS) as a centralized data management infrastructure. The ADDIE model is used as the research and development framework. The hardware is built using an ESP32 NodeMCU-32S microcontroller, an ESP32-S3 CAM for image capture, and a load cell with an HX711 module for precise weight measurement. The YOLOv8n model was trained on five fruit classes (fuji apple, orange, lemon, century pear, and dragon fruit) and deployed on a VPS backend via Flask API. Receipt printing is performed through a Bluetooth T3 thermal printer using RawBT software, while monitoring is conducted through a React.js dashboard. Test results show that YOLOv8n achieved mAP@50 of 99.5%, precision of 99.97%, recall of 100%, and F1-score of 100%. The load cell provided 99.74% accuracy with a 0.26% error tolerance. All 25 Black Box Testing scenarios returned a Successful status. Average end-to-end latency was 7.55 seconds. The system proved capable of eliminating manual PLU input, centralizing transaction management, and providing a digital scale modernization solution for the retail industry.</p>Tiana RamdaniRully Pramudita

<p>Bullying verbal merupakan salah satu bentuk perundungan yang sering terjadi di lingkungan sekolah dan dapat memberikan dampak negatif terhadap kondisi psikologis maupun sosial siswa. Proses identifikasi bullying verbal yang masih dilakukan secara manual berpotensi menimbulkan ketidakkonsistenan dalam penilaian dan membutuhkan waktu yang relatif lama. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan sistem pakar berbasis website untuk membantu guru Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK) dalam mengidentifikasi bullying verbal secara lebih cepat dan sistematis menggunakan metode Forward Chaining. Pengembangan sistem dilakukan dengan model Rapid Application Development (RAD), sedangkan basis pengetahuan disusun berdasarkan hasil observasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka. Sistem yang dikembangkan mampu melakukan identifikasi berdasarkan gejala dan indikator bullying verbal yang telah ditentukan dalam bentuk aturan IF–THEN. Hasil pengujian terhadap 100 data siswa menunjukkan tingkat akurasi sebesar 84% dibandingkan hasil validasi guru BK. Selain itu, pengujian pengguna memperoleh nilai kelayakan sebesar 86% yang termasuk kategori sangat layak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu dalam mendukung proses identifikasi bullying verbal dan pendokumentasian hasil identifikasi siswa di lingkungan sekolah.</p>Rayan Ikmal AmalaDwi Ismiyana Putri
