The increasing number of devices connected to the network and the rapid growth of data traffic have posed challenges in managing conventional networks. Traditional networks often experience inefficiencies in handling high traffic loads due to static traffic management, leading to congestion in some network paths while others remain underutilized. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as an innovative solution by separating the control plane and data plane, enabling more flexible, centralized, and programmable network management. This study evaluates the performance of OpenFlow-based SDN using the ONOS Controller and compares it with conventional home Wi-Fi networks based on the TIPHON standard. The simulation was conducted using Virtual Machines (VMWare) and Mininet, which were connected to the ONOS Controller via the OpenFlow protocol, while the conventional network testing was performed using the Command Prompt. The testing included three data transmission scenarios: 1 host to 1 host, 2 hosts to 1 host, and 2 hosts to 2 hosts simultaneously, with measured parameters including delay and packet loss. The results indicate that in the 1 host to 1 host scenario, both SDN and conventional networks had a delay of less than 150 ms and 0% packet loss. However, in the 2 hosts to 2 hosts scenario, the conventional network experienced an increase in delay and packet loss of up to 17%, whereas SDN remained stable with a delay below 150 ms and 0% packet loss. This confirms SDN's superior efficiency in handling high network traffic through more dynamic traffic distribution. Additionally, this study confirms that SDN's centralized control allows for more adaptive traffic management, reduces congestion, and improves overall network stability. These research demonstrate SDN's efficiency in handling high traffic loads, making it a superior solution for modern network demands.

A good administrative system in admitting new students not only makes things easier for prospective students, but also increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the registration process. With a structured system, prospective students can register directly at the counter or via an online platform, which makes access easier and reduces waiting time1. This is in line with the need for institutions to adapt to the digital era and improve services to prospective students. However, this often happens in the process of accessing information and inputting data. Because some students are still searching for registration information at Pancasakti University manually, this will take time and energy. When Pancasakti University Tegal opened student registration, thousands of prospective Pancasakti University Tegal students and their parents contacted the administration of Pancasakti University Tegal with various questions about the registration process and requirements. Chatbots, as a technological innovation based on artificial intelligence, offer an efficient solution to this problem.

The problem of waste dumping on Bali coast must be regarded as an ecological crisis which proves to be unseen under many perspectives. The article is about the making of a documentary film Apocalyptic Tides as an advocacy and educational tool bringing up this issue by means of the expository documentary style with highlights of poetry and performance elements in play. The method of field observation, semi-structured interviews with activist and scholars and visual documentation are also used in the research, followed by analysis and compiling of information with the help of non-linear editing tools by using Adobe Premiere Pro software. The film is set on a thematic narrative that shows the process of the waste as it goes upstream to downstream and how it affects the ecology and thoughts on the ecological consciousness. Techniques of non-linear editing were applied to organize the footage according to emotional echo and the schemes of meaning instead of the chronological order, thus creating an intellectually stimulating and reflective storyline. Apocalyptic Tides proves the power of documentary film to bridge the gap between art, science, and advocacy in case of creating the ecology-minded population.

This study aims to analyze the level of efficiency of the financial performance of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. This study uses a purposive sampling method and uses secondary data in the form of input and output variables from 2020 to 2024 at 10 selected Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS). Data processing was carried out using MaxDEA 12.2 software. The results of the study show that the average annual efficiency level is relatively stable, ranging from 0.773 to 0.817. 2023 recorded the highest average efficiency level, indicating an increase in input management in most banks. Conversely, 2022 was the period with the lowest efficiency, which was likely due to increasing inefficiency or less than optimal utilization of resources in that year. Individually, only Bank Panin Dubai Syariah, Bank Syariah Bukopin, and BTPN Syariah emerged as the banks with the most efficient performance, marked by efficiency scores approaching or reaching 1 in almost all years of the study.

An open pit exploitation activity will become less effective and cause production to not run well, resulting in the failure to meet production targets at PT. Indominco Mandiri. Therefore, to achieve production targets and obtain more optimal results, we need to plan the Design Pit Limit. The purpose of this research is to optimize the pit, find the BESR value, and compare the differences between two methods. The Lerch Grossman 2D algorithm method is believed to be able to determine the optimal pit boundary quite quickly, while the Minescape with its triangle method can calculate some unreadable sides quite accurately. The Lerch Grossman method with its economic blocks indicates that an elevation of 72 mdpl is the outer boundary of the pit that has the potential to generate a profit of $20,194,836.59, with the best consideration being a Stripping Ratio of 1:21.08. With that lower limit, an optimal pit design was created using minescape software, resulting in a coal reserve value of 1,581,870.42 tons with a profit of $14,590,646.75, which is larger and with a smaller SR of 1:19.06.

This study aims to analyze the effect of maqashid sharia on Muslim women's happiness in Indonesia, using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5th wave 2014. Maqashid sharia, as a core concept in Islamic law, focuses on the maintenance of five main aspects, namely religion (ad-din), soul (an-nafs), intellect (al-aql), offspring (an-nasl), and property (al-mal). This study examines whether the implementation of maqashid sharia principles coupled with region of residence as a control variable has a significant impact on the subjective happiness of Muslim women in Indonesia. Using logit regression method and STATA software, this study found that the maintenance of health (soul), education (mind), and income (wealth) has a significant positive effect on Muslimah's happiness, heredity (lineage) shows an insignificant negative effect, religiosity (religion) shows a positive and significant relationship, while the region of residence has an insignificant negative relationship with the level of happiness of Muslimah in Indonesia. These results indicate that the subjective happiness of Indonesian Muslim women is more influenced by material dimensions than philosophical or spiritual matters. This research is expected to contribute to the formulation of public policies that support the social welfare of Muslimahs based on maqashid sharia.

Education is the main foundation in forming quality Human Resources. In achieving educational goals, support is needed from various aspects, including the availability of adequate learning facilities and competent teachers. Learning facilities play an important role in supporting the learning process, while teacher competence greatly determines the success of transferring knowledge to students. These two aspects are believed to have an influence on student learning achievement, including in Integrated Social Studies subjects that require conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. This research was conducted to answer three main questions: (1) whether there is an influence of learning facilities on student learning achievement in Integrated Social Studies subjects grade VIII MTsN 6 Tulungagun; (2) whether the competence of social studies teachers affects student learning achievement in Integrated Social Studies subjects grade VIII MTsN 6 Tulungagun; and (3) how much influence the two variables simultaneously have on student learning achievement in the Integrated Social Studies subject class VIII MTsN 6 Tulungagun. The purpose of this study is to analyze and prove the influence of each independent variable on the bound variable both partially and simultaneously. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative method. The population is 309 students of grade VIII MTsN 6 Tulungagung and the sample is 76 students taken using the Simple Random Sampling technique, and 3 social studies teachers of Class VIII as additional informants. The data collection technique was carried out through questionnaires for independent variables and documentation of UAS values for bound variables. Data analysis was carried out using validity, reliability, normality, multiple linear regression tests, as well as t-tests, F tests and R2 tests with the help  of JASP software. The results of this study after processing data using the t-test showed that neither learning facilities nor the competence of social studies teachers had a significant effect on student learning achievement, because the significance value of learning facilities was above 0.05. However, the results of the F test showed that simultaneously the two variables had a significant effect on student learning outcomes with a significance value of <0.001. In addition, the determination coefficient value (R2) of 0.179 showed that 17.9% of the variation in student learning achievement was influenced by learning facilities and the competence of social studies teachers together. These findings show the importance of synergy between the quality of educational facilities and the competence of teaching staff in supporting student learning outcomes.
