Letter management is one of the important aspects in supporting the efficiency of academic administration in schools. This study aims to explore and understand how letter management at SMA Al-Hidayah Medan can be optimized to improve the efficiency of academic administration. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through direct observation and interviews with parties involved in the correspondence administration process. The research findings show that SMA Al-Hidayah Medan implements a combined letter management system, namely combining manual and digital management. Incoming and outgoing letters are recorded manually in the agenda book and expedition book, and archived digitally in the school computer system. However, the system used is still limited and has not been fully integrated. The obstacles found include limited human resources who have not fully mastered administration and information technology, weak document supervision, and archiving of physical letters that have not been systematically arranged. In addition, digital archiving which is still conventional without automatic categorization makes the archive search process less efficient. As an optimization effort, the school has implemented a semi-digital system, provided training for administrative staff, compiled letter classification codes, compiled SOPs for letter management, and utilized cloud storage and digitization of old archives. These steps demonstrate institutional awareness to build a more efficient and modern administration system. In conclusion, effective letter management plays a very important role in supporting academic administration, but requires continuous coaching, better digital integration, and strong managerial commitment.

The modulation of the structures and electronic properties of transition metal complexes by multi-ligands coordination has been widely exploited to enhance the catalytic efficiency in organic transformations. Here, we present synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pd(II) complexes of multidentate ligands- EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline and N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The Pd-NHC complex displayed the high catalytic activity for hydrogenation as well as small-molecule activation, up to 450 h⁻¹ of turnover frequency (TOF) and total conversion of styrene to ethylbenzene at room temperature, and is higher efficient than Cu-EDTA (TOF =120 h⁻¹), Ni-Phen (TOF= 85 h⁻¹). The DFT calculation with Pd-NHC system showed that the small HOMO-LUMO gap (3.2 eV) and the short Pd–C bond (1.95 Å) of Pd-NHC, which could facilitate the transfer of the growth species, contributed to the low energy of activation (28 kJ/mol). Mathematical model also discussed its high catalytic activity (TOF/Ea = 16.07 h⁻¹·kJ⁻¹·mol) due to the strong σ-donor ligands and proper geometry. These findings underscore the influence of ligand architecture to secure transition states and modulate electron density in designing efficient sustainable catalysis that is industrially relevant.

As an alternative, agroforestry has been developed to enhance agricultural productivity without compromising soil health. Agroforestry integrates agricultural crops with trees or other woody plants in a mutually beneficial system. Several studies have shown that agroforestry improves soil organic matter content, retains soil moisture, and reduces erosion and nutrient loss. This study employs a literature review method to analyze the effectiveness of agroforestry in improving soil health and agricultural productivity. Agroforestry has been found to enhance agricultural productivity through crop diversification, efficient land use, and climate change mitigation. Diversification not only strengthens food security but also increases farmers’ income by minimizing crop failure risks and enhancing nutritional value. Additionally, agroforestry optimizes land use by improving yield per unit area and reducing environmental degradation through natural resource conservation. Agroforestry also plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by increasing ecosystem resilience, sequestering carbon, and reducing extreme weather impacts. However, the adoption of agroforestry faces challenges, including a lack of farmers’ knowledge, limited policy support, and varying environmental conditions. Addressing these barriers through improved education, supportive policies, and sustainable resource management can accelerate agroforestry adoption.

Oil palm is a key commodity supporting Indonesia’s economy through exports and employment. The industry’s success depends heavily on the selection of superior seedlings, which determine productivity, crop quality, and resistance to pests and diseases. Manual selection, however, often leads to subjectivity and inconsistency due to limited human resources and genetic variation. To address this, the study applies the Naïve Bayes algorithm for classifying oil palm seedlings based on seven variables: height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf color, disease resistance, root growth, and fruit yield. Using an explanatory quantitative method, the study follows seven stages: identifying problems, literature review, collecting 1,000 data entries from PT Intitama Berlian Perkebunan, data pre-processing, system modeling (UML), algorithm implementation, and evaluation using a confusion matrix and black box testing. Data was split into 80% training and 20% testing. The Naïve Bayes-based classification achieved 95% accuracy and perfect recall (1.00) for the superior seedling class. However, its performance on the minority class (non-superior seedlings) was weaker due to dataset imbalance. Black box testing verified all system functions worked correctly, enabling effective and efficient use by administrators. The study concludes that Naïve Bayes improves objectivity, efficiency, and accuracy in seedling selection. Nonetheless, attention is needed on data balancing and optimization to maintain consistent performance across classes. This system shows strong potential as a decision-support tool in plantations and promotes digital transformation in agricultural processes.

This meta-analysis evaluates the cost-effectiveness of mental health interventions implemented in conflict-affected regions of the Middle East between 2010 and 2023, compiling data from 47 programs across eight countries. Statistical analysis reveals substantial variation in program effectiveness levels (Cohen's d = 0.78, 95% CI [0.65, 0.91], p < 0.001), with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) demonstrating the highest cost-effectiveness ratio, registering an ICER of $2,340 per QALY gained. Multilevel regression findings indicate that community-based intervention approaches consistently prove more cost-efficient than those conducted in clinical settings (β = 0.67, p < 0.001), yielding an average savings of 43% per participant. Remote teletherapy programs exhibit significant potential, particularly in regions with limited access to services, with an ROI reaching 1.89 (95% CI [1.65, 2.13]). The economic burden analysis estimates that untreated mental health conditions incur an average annual cost of $4,623 per individual, whereas intervention expenses amount to approximately $1,876 per patient per year, resulting in a benefit-cost ratio of 2.47. This study expands upon prior research by Tol et al. (2011) and McBain et al. (2016), which were limited to clinical outcomes without addressing the economic dimension. In contrast to the study by Reed et al. (1994), which explored general health economics within conflict zones, this research specifically quantifies the cost-effectiveness of mental health interventions in Middle Eastern conflict areas. It reveals that cultural adaptation within intervention programs can enhance return on investment by up to 31%. Finally, this review uniquely demonstrates that community-based mental health programs integrated within conflict zones can meet the cost-effectiveness thresholds recommended by WHO-CHOICE while maintaining a high level of clinical efficacy.
