Concrete roof tiles are an important material in building construction, particularly for roofing work, due to their advantages in terms of strength, durability, and material availability. This study aims to analyze two main physical characteristics of concrete roof tiles, namely bending load and water absorption, using a literature review approach from various previous studies. Bending load refers to the material's ability to withstand bending forces, while water absorption describes the material's capacity to absorb and store water through its pores. These two properties significantly influence the quality and durability of roof tiles in facing external environmental conditions, especially wet-dry cycles and mechanical loads. The results of the literature review indicate that the use of waste as an aggregate substitute in concrete mixes can significantly improve the performance of concrete roof tiles. For example, research using broken roof tiles and ceramic waste as aggregate substitutes successfully increased flexural strength to a range of 12.5–15.0 MPa. Meanwhile, variations in water absorption were recorded in the range of 4%–8%, depending on the material composition and production method. This proves that the use of recycled materials not only supports sustainability but also improves the mechanical and physical properties of concrete roof tiles. Overall, this study underscores the importance of material innovation in concrete roof tile production, particularly utilizing waste as an alternative aggregate. However, further research is needed to explore the best combination of materials and production techniques for producing high-quality, efficient, and environmentally friendly concrete roof tiles.

Competition in the job market has been increasing every year, demanding high-quality human resources who are capable of adapting to rapid changes in the era of Industry 5.0. However, recent findings indicate that many graduates, particularly those from the class of 2024, still lack sufficient work readiness, contributing to a relatively low work readiness rate in Indonesia. Work readiness is a crucial attribute that determines the extent to which graduates can transition smoothly from academic settings into professional environments. One of the psychological constructs believed to influence this readiness is the Adversity Quotient (AQ), which reflects an individual’s ability to withstand, adapt, and grow in the face of challenges and difficulties. The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between adversity quotient and work readiness among 174 final-year students of the Psychology Faculty at Universitas Negeri Padang. This study employed a quantitative research design with a purposive sampling technique. The Work Readiness variable was measured using a scale developed by the researcher based on Caballero et al. (2011), while the Adversity Quotient was measured using the adapted Adversity Response Profile scale from Stoltz (2000). Based on the results of product moment correlation analysis, findings show that the adversity quotient has a strong and positive correlation (r = 0.691) with work readiness. These results highlight the importance of strengthening resilience and adversity management skills to ensure that students are better prepared to enter the workforce with confidence and competence.
