This research aims to compare the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum at State Elementary School 064037 and understand the differences between the two in improving the quality of education. The method used is qualitative research with a content analysis and narrative analysis approach. In-depth content analysis is carried out on written and printed information from mass media to identify message characteristics objectively and systematically. Data was collected through interviews and reviewing controversial mass media news. The research results show that the Merdeka Curriculum, which has only been implemented in grades 1 and 4, gives students greater freedom in the use of knowledge, both inside and outside school, and encourages teacher and student creativity.

This study examines the use of dynamic programming in the context of container filling optimization, known as the knapsack problem. This problem requires selecting a number of goods with a certain volume and value to be loaded into a container with a certain capacity. We develop a knapsack-based algorithm using dynamic programming techniques to maximize container space utilization. By considering the volume and value of goods, our algorithm is able to achieve optimal results. Through a case study involving 25 items with predetermined volumes and values, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in improving container space utilization. Our experimental results show significant improvements in container space utilization compared to naive filling methods. This research shows that the knapsack approach with dynamic programming can be an effective solution to the container filling problem in the context of logistics and optimization.
