Application of Apriori Algorithm in Data Mining to Analyze Malnutrition (Case Study: Secanggang Village)
Malnutrition is a serious public health issue affecting quality of life in many rural areas. Comprehensive, evidence-based approaches are needed to identify dietary patterns associated with this condition. In this study, we applied the Apriori algorithm for data mining to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and malnutrition prevalence in Secanggang Village. Using Apriori, we discovered significant associative patterns between foods and malnutrition. Our analysis showed several dietary patterns with sufficiently high support and confidence, indicating potentially strong associations with malnutrition. These patterns may include combinations of less diverse or nutritious foods, which could be risk factors for malnutrition. Our findings provide valuable insights for authorities and health institutions to formulate more effective intervention programs in tackling malnutrition in Secanggang Village. By understanding the relationship between dietary patterns and malnutrition, prevention and treatment efforts can be better targeted to positively impact community health and welfare. Further research and cross-sectoral collaboration are still needed to comprehensively address the complex challenges of malnutrition.

Decision Support System Using AHP to Determine Appropriate Television Shows for Children
This study offers a Decision Support System (DSS) that uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to help youngsters choose appropriate television programs. The system is intended to provide parents with a simple and easy-to-implement option for controlling their children's television viewing habits. Its goal is to keep youngsters from imitating unwanted behaviors and to protect them from the detrimental effects of television material. The proposed DSS delivers critical information to allow interactive decision-making, ensuring that users have easy access to the information they require and can make well-informed decisions. The AHP methodology, a decision-making strategy that incorporates pairwise evaluations of selection criteria and available program options, is used in the system's implementation. AHP is particularly successful in solving multi-criteria problems, allowing for the prioritization and ranking of choices based on the research criteria. This study highlights the importance of the DSS in assisting parents in making educated decisions about their children's television programming, resulting in a safer and more educational viewing environment.

Study of the Digitalization of Population Administration Services Using Population Data in Medan City Regional Development Planning
The continuation of the digitalization of population administration services towards regional development planning through the population utilization system is expected to become a common foundation to overcome various barriers in the effort to optimize data utilization. To improve this in the future, this gap becomes the subject of research. This research studies many aspects, such as recording and documentation, data publication, data development, data utilization, ease of use, quality of data information, and credibility of data administration. We also strive to enhance respondents' understanding of the population information system, what users need for data, and which data can collaborate across agencies. To accelerate the performance of regional development in addressing urgent and long-term issues, easily accessible and valid population data are required.

The findings reveal key sectors with strong linkages, indicating their potential to stimulate economic activity and generate multiplier effects. The study identifies agriculture, mining, and manufacturing as sectors with significant backward linkages, while trade and services exhibit strong forward linkages. Based on these linkages, the research proposes strategic recommendations for prioritizing leading sectors to enhance regional development. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers in Southeast Aceh Regency to design targeted economic policies, optimize resource allocation, and foster sustainable growth. This study contributes to the broader understanding of regional economic dynamics and offers a framework for identifying leading sectors in similar contexts
