The construction industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly, playing a crucial role in the country's economic, political, and social development. However, alongside this rapid growth, issues such as project delays are inevitable. The construction project of the Indonesian Maritime Polytechnic, for instance, has experienced significant delays, which can lead to increased costs, waste of human resources, and disputes among the involved parties. Understanding the primary causes of these delays is essential for developing effective strategies to avoid future delays. This analysis uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to identify the root causes of delays. Data was collected through surveys of respondents involved in the project, including project managers, field staff, and consultants. The analyzed causes of delays include insufficient funding, increases in raw material costs, additional costs, contract document errors, poor communication, and slow decision-making. To minimize delays and their impacts, several recommendations can be made: effective strategic planning, improved communication, increased staff, accurate initial cost estimates, and good management. By implementing these recommendations, the Indonesian Maritime Polytechnic construction project can be completed more effectively and efficiently, and future delays can be avoided.

This article discusses the issue of poverty in Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, with a focus on the analysis of poverty data from 2019 to 2024. Despite Kalimantan's wealth of natural resources, economic disparities and uneven distribution remain significant challenges. This research uses data from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik) to demonstrate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused an increase in the number of people living in poverty due to income reductions and job losses. By utilizing Microsoft Excel, data visualization is employed to present information clearly and concisely, making it easier to understand the poverty situation in the region. The findings of this research recommend that poverty alleviation policies be more focused and data-driven, and encourage further research to understand the factors influencing poverty. It is hoped that this article will provide valuable insights for the development of policies and poverty alleviation efforts in Indonesia, particularly in Kalimantan Island.

This research aims to analyze the skills of providing learning variations to increase the effectiveness of the learning process in early childhood. Early childhood is in a very dynamic development phase, where monotonous teaching methods can hinder their attention and motivation. Therefore, the use of variations in teaching methods, such as changes in activity types, duration, learning media, and interactive approaches, can have a positive impact on children's involvement in learning activities. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method that examines various sources related to variations in learning and their impact on early childhood development. The results of the analysis show that a variety of learning activities can increase children's motivation, prolong concentration, support multisensory learning, and develop children's social and emotional skills. Learning that involves various methods and media allows children to learn through direct experience thereby strengthening their understanding of the concepts being taught. This research concludes that the skill of providing variety in learning not only increases learning effectiveness, but also contributes to children's holistic development. Therefore, it is important for educators to master these skills and apply them consistently in early childhood learning activities.

Early literacy serves as an essential foundation that plays a crucial role in shaping the cognitive, social, and emotional development of young children. It extends beyond the ability to read and write, encompassing skills such as listening, speaking, and comprehensively understanding information in a holistic manner. In the digital era, these skills have become increasingly critical as children are exposed to diverse forms of information through technology, including digital books, educational applications, and interactive learning videos. Technology presents significant opportunities to support early literacy development in innovative and engaging ways. However, the digital age also poses notable challenges, such as the risk of distraction from entertainment content, exposure to age-inappropriate information, and disparities in access to technology across different social groups. This study aims to deeply explore the strategic role of parents in supporting early literacy development in the digital era, including the strategies they employ, the challenges they face, and the impacts of their involvement. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research analyzes data from in-depth interviews, observations of parent-child interactions, and recent literature on early literacy and technology. The findings indicate that active parental involvement, both through technology-based approaches and traditional methods, significantly enhances children's literacy skills. Nonetheless, the study also identifies various challenges commonly encountered, such as time constraints, low digital literacy among parents, and inequities in technology access. This article underscores the importance of synergy between technological and conventional approaches to create a holistic and sustainable literacy environment. It provides in-depth insights into the critical role of parental support in the digital era and offers practical recommendations to address existing barriers, ensuring that early literacy development proceeds optimally and aligns with contemporary needs. 

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally, necessitating effective predictive systems. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of various machine learning (ML) models—Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)—in predicting heart disease using publicly available health data. The study involved pre-processing data, training models, and evaluating them using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and G-Mean metrics. The results show that KNN is the most reliable model, with the highest accuracy of 92%. Significant health features were identified, such as chest pain type and maximum heart rate. The study contributes to improving clinical decision support systems by identifying optimal ML models for heart disease prediction.

Electricity theft is an activity that is detrimental to the state where PLN as the party that distributes electricity has unknowingly lost its main commodity without any reciprocity in the form of payment. To overcome electricity theft, Execution of Electricity Use (P2TL) is carried out. Implementation of Electric Power Use (P2TL) is an activity to control electricity users who do not comply with installation standards. P2TL activities include planning, inspection, technical and/or legal actions and settlements carried out by PLN on PLN installations and/or Electric Power User installations. P2TL activities carried out in the Koba area from October to December 2023 found 3 violations in the area. The kWh saved as a result of P2TL from October to December was 21,480 kWh. From the kWh savings obtained, the highest loss was in October of 0.47% and the loss obtained without P2TL kWh savings was 0.48%. So that the kWh savings obtained from P2TL can reduce Non-Technical Losses. The more P2TL violations are found, the higher the reduction in losses obtained by PT PLN (Persero) ULP Koba.
