Manual record-keeping has presented significant challenges, leading to recording errors, stock discrepancies, and delays in raw material procurement. To address these issues, a digital warehouse management prototype, "KoptiHub," was developed using a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach. This approach aimed to enhance inventory tracking efficiency, streamline raw material ordering, and improve overall product distribution. The prototype was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) with 15 cooperative administrators at SIKS Balikpapan. The evaluation yielded an SUS score of 82.17, resulting in an "A" grade, which indicates high usability and strong alignment with user expectations. Compared to previous warehouse management solutions, KoptiHub demonstrates superior usability, particularly in cooperative settings. However, further improvements, such as a simplified user interface and an AI-driven inventory forecasting feature, could enhance efficiency and accessibility. The results suggest that KoptiHub could serve as a scalable model for digitizing warehouse management in MSMEs and cooperatives, aligning with emerging trends in smart inventory management and supply chain optimization.</em></p> Luh Made Wisnu Satyaninggrat Prasis Damai Nursyam Hamijaya Isnaini Nur Rachmawati Copyright (c) 2025 Luh Made Wisnu Satyaninggrat, Prasis Damai Nursyam Hamijaya, Isnaini Nur Rachmawati http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 160 170 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6456 WASTEWISE: AI-POWERED WASTE EDUCATION FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS USING YOLOV8 AND ESP32-CAM https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/6414 <p><em>The growing volume of global waste poses a significant challenge for effective waste management, particularly in developing countries where awareness and practices around waste sorting remain limited.

In order to improve employee satisfaction and performance, training that organized by the company needs to receive feedback so that the training organizers can continue to provide the best service to employees who participate in the training. The large volume of feedback that must be processed in text form, leads to prolonged identification of comments and the omission of certain training programs from further analysis. This study applies text mining using sentiment analysis and Word Cloud visualization to evaluate the effectiveness of training methods and identify areas for improvement based on employee feedback on training programs at PT XYZ. The amount of data used after preprocessing was 48,910 open feedback responses from 4,314 training sessions consisting of three forms: classroom training, digital learning, and hybrid learning. The evaluation for clustering used the K-Means method, which turned out to use two optimal clusters based on the silhouette. Overall satisfaction with the training was determined through key points such as stable internet connection, overlapping of training schedule, and poor learning environment. Issues frequently that identified in the Word Cloud analysis revealed keywords describing positive and negative aspects of the situation that are requiring further improvement. This identification is useful for developing recommendations to enhance the implementation of the training and participants' experience. Further research may also involve advanced sentiment analysis and more accurate classification methods.</em></p> Fadilia Rinarwastu Imam Yuadi Copyright (c) 2025 Fadilia Rinarwastu, Imam Yuadi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 178 186 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6641 ISOLATION FOREST PARAMETER TUNING FOR MOBILE APP ANOMALY DETECTION BASED ON PERMISSION REQUESTS https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/6647 <p><em>Ensuring mobile app security needs the capability to detect apps that request excessive or inappropriate permissions. This research proposes an anomaly detection approach using Isolation Forest, enhanced through hyperparameter tuning, to identify suspect apps based on permission request patterns. The dataset is processed into binary features, followed by exploratory data analysis (EDA) to examine the distribution and highlight sensitive permissions. The Isolation Forest model is then optimized by tuning parameters such as contamination level, number of estimators, and sample size. The fine-tuned model achieved a more accurate separation between normal and anomaly applications, detecting 10 anomalies out of 200 applications, with anomaly applications averaging 125.10 permits compared to 42.76 in normal applications. These anomalies often requested permissions related to network, storage, contacts and microphone, indicating potential privacy risks. The results show that parameter tuning improves the detection performance of Isolation Forest, providing a practical solution for mobile security monitoring. After tuning, the number of false positives decreased by 50%, and the model successfully reduced detected anomalies from 20 to 10, increasing the precision of anomaly detection from 70% to 90%. Future work could include improving feature selection and integration into real-time detection systems. </em></p> Valencia Claudia Jennifer Kaunang Nur Alamsyah Reni Nursyanti Budiman Budiman Venia R Danestiara Elia Setiana Copyright (c) 2025 Valencia Claudia Jennifer Kaunang, Nur Alamsyah, Reni Nursyanti, Budiman Budiman, Venia R Danestiara, Elia Setiana http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 187 197 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6647 APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK METHODS TO DETECT HEART ATTACKS https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/6413 <p><em>A heart attack is a medical emergency caused by restricted blood flow to the heart, commonly leading to myocardial infarction due to blood clots or fat accumulation.

The research aims to analyze the potential of various local food sources as alternatives to rice, which is the dominant staple food in Indonesia, with a particular focus on geographic implications. Although local carbohydrate sources like corn, potatoes, and tubers are available, their adoption is limited and understudied in relation to geographic distribution and consumer behavior. This study integrates survey data and GIS-based spatial analysis to evaluate local food diversification potential. Findings show that while 100% of respondents consume rice, 48.7% have tried alternatives, with limited availability (41.03%) and higher costs (17.95%) as key barriers. With 94.7% expressing willingness to adopt new staples, the results suggest GIS-based decision support systems can guide effective, region-specific food policy interventions.</em></p> Amir Murtako Faiqa Hadya Hanifa Eidelwise Gloria Effatha Sri Rezeki Candra Nursari Febri Maspiyanti Copyright (c) 2025 Amir Murtako, Faiqa Hadya Hanifa, Eidelwise Gloria Effatha, Sri Rezeki Candra Nursari, Febri Maspiyanti http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 208 217 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6570 EVALUATING PREPROCESSING EFFECTS IN NAME RETRIEVAL USING CLASSICAL IR AND CNN-BASED MODELS https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/6884 <p><em>Information Retrieval (IR) systems are pivotal for efficient data management, particularly in tasks involving name searches and entity identification. This study evaluates text preprocessing techniques, including case folding, phonetic normalization, and gender tagging, that affect the performance of classical (TF-IDF, LSI) and CNN-based retrieval models for multilingual name matching. Using a dataset of 365,468 globally diverse names, this study implements a preprocessing pipeline featuring: Double Metaphone phonetic preprocessing (92% validation accuracy), gender disambiguation for unisex names (92% accuracy), and optimized n-gram tokenization for short names. Evaluation metrics include precision, recall, F1-score, and our novel Name Similarity Score (NSS), combining orthographic and phonetic preprocessing. Results show our full pipeline improves recall to 1.00 and F1-score by 37% while reducing false negatives by 63%. Key findings reveal: TF-IDF achieves superior recall (0.98 vs CNN’s 0.85), LSI handles cultural variants effectively, and CNNs deliver the highest precision (0.91 vs TF-IDF’s 0.70), particularly for unisex names. This work contributes both a scalable multilingual preprocessing framework and the NSS evaluation metric for robust name retrieval systems.</em></p> Frizca Fellicita Marcelly Irwansyah Saputra Muhammad Bagus Andra Copyright (c) 2025 Frizca Fellicita Marcelly, Irwansyah Saputra, Muhammad Bagus Andra http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 218 227 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6884 COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF TRANSFORMER AND LSTM MODELS FOR INDONESIAN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL WITH INDOBERT https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/6920 <p><em>Neural network-based Information Retrieval (IR), particularly with Transformer models, has gained prominence in information search technology.

The results show that IndoBERT outperforms LSTM in all metrics with a MAP of 0.82 and MRR of 0.84, while LSTM only reached a MAP of 0.63 and MRR of 0.65. These findings confirm that Transformer models like IndoBERT are more effective at capturing semantic relevance between queries and documents, even with limited datasets.</em></p> Nendi Sunendar Sunendar Irwansyah Saputra Copyright (c) 2025 Nendi Sunendar Sunendar, Irwansyah Saputra http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 228 233 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6920 PERCEPTION AND BARRIERS TO MOOC ADOPTION: A CASE STUDY OF KARTU PRAKERJA RECIPIENTS https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/6623 <p><em>The Indonesian government launched the Pre-Employment Card (Kartu Prakerja) program to enhance workforce skills and address economic challenges. This program provides training through online platforms, including Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The UTAUT2 model was employed as a framework to understand the factors influencing the acceptance and use of educational technology in this context. This study examines the effects of UTAUT2 variables—performance expectancy, effort expectancy, habit, traditional barriers, platform content, access limitations, interaction limitations, facilitating conditions, hedonic value, price value, and social influence—on the intention and adoption of MOOCs among Pre-Employment Card participants. The sample consisted of 222 respondents who were users of the Prakerja platform. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the support of PLS-SEM software. In addition, a sentiment analysis was conducted on comments posted on the official Instagram account @prakerja.go.id to explore public perceptions of the program. The findings reveal that 46.2 percent of public sentiment was negative, particularly related to the program implementation and the use of partner MOOC platforms. SEM analysis further indicates that hedonic value, habit, and social influence have positive and significant effects on the intention and adoption of MOOCs. The moderation analysis by gender shows that performance expectancy, hedonic value, and social influence are stronger among males, whereas effort expectancy, habit, and platform content are stronger among females.</em></p> Dendy Herdianto Nur Hendrasto Copyright (c) 2025 Dendy Herdianto, Nur Hendrasto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 234 246 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.6623 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RANDOM FOREST AND SUPPORT VECTOR CLASSIFIER FOR PREDICTING STUDENTS’ ON-TIME GRADUATION https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/7048 <p><em>On-time graduation is one of the key indicators of educational quality in higher education. The influencing factors range from students’ internal issues and academic abilities to institutional policies. However, academic management has not yet been able to classify the data and analyze the underlying factors contributing to delayed graduation. By identifying these factors, management can formulate appropriate academic solutions or policies. The purpose of this study is to build a prediction model for on-time graduation using machine learning algorithms. This study compares the classification performance of the Random Forest algorithm and the Support Vector Classifier (SVC). The dataset, consisting of 1,298 student records, includes academic data such as study program, GPA, TOEFL score, cohort year, and study duration. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, F1 score, and ROC-AUC metrics, followed by a confusion matrix analysis. The final evaluation revealed that the Random Forest algorithm achieved the best performance, with an accuracy of 91.86%, an F1 score of 91.86%, and a ROC-AUC of 97.39%. Meanwhile, the SVC model obtained an accuracy of 81.12% and an F1 score of 81.09%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Random Forest algorithm is more reliable as a prediction model in the academic domain. The main contribution of this study is the development of an early detection system for students at risk of delayed graduation. Furthermore, the findings can serve as a basis for designing more solution-oriented academic policies in accordance with the conditions at STIMIK Tunas Bangsa Banjarnegara.</em></p> Nurus Sarifatul Ngaeni Copyright (c) 2025 Nurus Sarifatul Ngaeni http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 247 255 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.7048 ADDRESSING DIGITAL STARTUP FAILURE THROUGH THE AGILE METHODOLOGY APPROACH: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/7000 <p><em>Startups are recogni</em><em>z</em><em>ed as emerging enterprises that contribute to job creation, economic stabilization, and national development. Digital startups are formed to address challenges within their environments. This study aims to provide solutions and preventive measures for digital startup failures, given the persistently high global failure rate of 90%. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify Agile-based Critical Success Factors (CSFs), which were then mapped as solutions to mitigate digital startup failures. Based on the findings, the most significant contributing factor to the failure of digital startups is insufficient funding (i.e., running out of capital or financial resources). To address this issue, the agile method offers relevant solutions that can be mapped to the problem, namely the adoption of “Iterative Budget Management,” “Accurate Effort Estimation,” and “Risk Management Strategies.” This study provides practitioners with valuable insights, knowledge, and reference points regarding the critical success factors (CSFs) derived from agile practices, which can serve as strategic mechanisms for mitigating failure in early-stage startups. Moreover, the research is expected to contribute new theoretical understanding that informs potential solutions to prevent digital startup failure.</em></p> Kenedi Binowo Copyright (c) 2025 Kenedi Binowo http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-09-23 2025-09-23 21 2 256 265 10.33480/pilar.v21i2.7000 MACHINE LEARNING FOR EMPLOYMENT POSITION MAPPING https://ejournal.nusamandiri.ac.id/index.php/pilar/article/view/3028 <p><em>Employee performance directly impacts organizational efficiency, yet traditional HR analytics often lack predictive precision.
