Computer network training at SMKN 5 Surabaya is an activity that aims to provide students with knowledge and skills in the field of computer networks. This training is usually given to students majoring in Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ). The material taught in computer network training at SMKN 5 Surabaya includes: Introduction to computer networks, network topology, network addressing, implementation of the training using a blended learning approach, which combines theoretical and practical learning. This method has proven effective in improving students' conceptual understanding and technical skills. (Garrison and Vaughan, 2008) state that this approach is able to answer challenges in vocational education by combining the advantages of face-to-face and online learning. In addition, collaboration with industry through internship programs provides students with valuable practical experience, which strengthens their readiness to enter the world of work. (Anderson and Solis 2018) reveal that industry involvement can increase the relevance and quality of vocational education. However, this research also identifies several challenges that need to be overcome to ensure sustainability and improve the quality of training. One of the main challenges is limited resources, especially in terms of equipment and software which are always evolving. Continued investment and professional training for teachers is key to overcoming this challenge. (Smith and Ragan 2005) emphasize the importance of professional development for teachers in maintaining educational quality.

Urbanization has significantly impacted air quality in cities, with vehicular emissions being a major contributor to pollution. This study explores the potential benefits of electrifying urban transportation, specifically through the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The findings indicate that EVs substantially reduce key pollutants such as CO₂, NOx, and PM₂.₅, improving urban air quality and mitigating climate change. The analysis shows that EV adoption can lead to a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions in high EV adoption scenarios (70% EVs). Additionally, EVs are more energy-efficient than conventional vehicles, consuming significantly less energy per kilometer. This transition not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels but also supports sustainable urban development. Furthermore, the study highlights the public health benefits of electrification, with reduced levels of harmful pollutants leading to lower incidences of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Public health surveys reveal strong support for EV adoption, with respondents believing it would significantly improve air quality and health outcomes. In conclusion, the electrification of urban transportation presents a multifaceted approach to environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and public health improvement.

This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted at MI Darussalam Barang, X District, Y Regency, with the aim of improving student learning outcomes in Fiqh subjects, especially in Zakat Fitrah material, through the application of the Mind Mapping learning method.

Pregnant will experience an increase in blood volume and this causes iron requirements to increase. Iron needs can be met by food consumed daily with the addition of iron supplements and if iron needs are not met it can cause anemia. Anemia in pregnant can increase the risk of premature birth, maternal and child death, and infectious diseases. Anemia can affect the growth and development of the fetus or baby during pregnancy or after. The government's efforts to prevent anemia include improving the quality of health services, financing health insurance, providing 90 blood supplement tablets during pregnancy, and health education about nutrition and preventing anemia. Increasing knowledge is urgently needed to strengthen awareness in increasing knowledge and behavior in preventing anemia in pregnant. One of the efforts made is health education activities regarding the prevention and early detection of anemia in pregnant. The result of this community service activity is that there is an increase in knowledge about anemia in pregnant before and after being given health education

Public service is a real contribution to strengthening the local economic foundation, the conventional industry sector. "Besides, it's still unclear how consumer behaviour varies. CRM can minimize abstract behaviour based on the data obtained. CRMs can provide consumer behaviour information based on data obtained such as purchasing behaviour. Such data can be enabled in UMKM bank data and build decisions such as discounts, product innovations and product sales. Increasing CRM in the context of society is crucial to strengthening the bond between the convenience industry and its consumers. The proposed community enhancement involves a series of holistic activities that are not aimed at improving employee understanding and integrating such methods into everyday practice

The adoption of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has emerged as a crucial strategy for medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to streamline back-office operations, enhance productivity, and reduce operational costs. RPA involves the use of software robots to automate repetitive, rule-based administrative tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex, value-added activities. This study explores the implementation of RPA in medium enterprises, focusing on its impact on cost efficiency, administrative workload reduction, and operational performance. The research uses a case study approach, analyzing medium enterprises that have adopted RPA to assess the effectiveness of automation in improving business processes. Data collection methods include interviews, surveys, and company reports to evaluate how RPA affects workload, accuracy, and cost savings. The findings indicate that RPA significantly reduces manual administrative tasks, leading to faster processing times, lower error rates, and substantial cost savings. Employees in enterprises that adopted RPA reported increased job satisfaction due to the reduction of monotonous tasks and the opportunity to engage in more strategic work. However, challenges such as employee resistance, data security concerns, and system integration complexities were also identified. The study compares RPA’s impact with traditional manual processes, highlighting improvements in speed, accuracy, and overall cost efficiency. Additionally, the study compares RPA adoption across industries such as manufacturing, retail, and service, revealing sector-specific challenges and successes. The paper concludes by emphasizing the practical implications for SMEs, suggesting that RPA can optimize business operations and urging further research on its long-term effects on employee roles and organizational culture.
