PT XYZ is a company in the field of construction, development, and management of construction projects. They are responsible for planning, managing, and implementing construction projects, both for infrastructure and commercial buildings. The previous assessment did not have a weighting of the criteria assessment and took time to process the value of each employee because the assessment still used a manual method (assisted by calculator calculations) so that the employee calculation process was processed one by one. This is not in accordance with the director's expectations and has an impact on the assessment being inaccurate and detrimental to the company in terms of time. Therefore, to evaluate the performance of top employees at PT XYZ, this decision support system application was created, with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method which can produce a simple Decision Support System with an easy-to-understand and logical concept in the PT XYZ Employee Performance Assessment.

A Mixed Use Building project in downtown Surabaya is the basis of this design. The project is located on Menanggal Wisata street in Surabaya, which is in the area of Kodim Brawijaya and very strategic. To overcome the phenomenon, the designer should think about how to maximize the land function (in the middle of the city and dense environment) and organize the circulation system. because the multifunctional building project to be built should be able to carry out various functions in one space.

Language in the digital era functions not only as a communication tool but also as a reflection of personal and collective identity. Language use on digital platforms, such as social media, reflects self-expression, image building, and cultural affiliation. However, globalization and the dominance of foreign languages, especially English, pose challenges to preserving local identity. This study employs a qualitative approach through interviews and document analysis to explore how language shapes personal identity in the digital era. The findings indicate that language in digital spaces allows individuals to express creativity while facing social pressures to construct specific images. Nonetheless, phenomena such as code-switching and slang usage highlight the influence of global culture. To maintain a balance between global adaptation and local cultural preservation, collaboration among individuals, communities, and governments is needed through education, cultural campaigns, and technology. With this approach, language can become a tool for fostering cultural solidarity and preserving diversity in an increasingly connected world.

This research examines the effect of bricks enhancement with phase change material (PCM) consisting of paraffin on their thermal considerations. The experimental methods were aimed at investigating the mechanisms of temperature transfer throughout the thermal rounds, mimicking diurnal fluctuations of temperature. Due to the high amount of latent heat contained in paraffin a portion of it was transferred into regular bricks with temperature probes tracing the heat processes. It is shown that enhancement of bricks with PCM reduced temperature range and controlled the rate of heat transmission more than the ordinary bricks did. It was significant that the PCM-embedded bricks did not drift in heat and were able to stock up excess heat during the day and release it at night which resulted in monumental energy efficiency and comfort in thermal standing. The conversation additionally seeks to bring out the function of paraffin in insulation which does not only save energy consumption but goes forward to maintain comfortable temperatures within the building. The study finally achieved its goal and assert that energy saving with the use of PCM enhanced bricks in construction makes it a preferable material in regards to energy and the fight against climate change.

This study highlights the importance of implementing human relations principles in creating a harmonious and productive work environment. Open communication, empathy, and constructive conflict management were found to be key factors in building positive work relationships between employees and managers. Employees who feel valued and listened to tend to be more engaged in their work, increasing motivation and morale, which ultimately impacts the performance of the team and the organization as a whole. In addition, effective conflict management can strengthen interpersonal relationships and create a work atmosphere that is more conducive to collaboration and innovation. This study also shows that poorly managed conflict can damage work relationships and reduce productivity. In such situations, a tense work environment can lower employee morale, increase turnover rates, and hinder the achievement of organizational goals. Therefore, organizations need to actively develop strategies that support clear and effective communication, as well as pay attention to employee emotional well-being. Building an inclusive work culture and providing constructive conflict resolution mechanisms are essential to maintaining the stability and sustainability of productivity in the long term.

This study aims to analyze the role of interpersonal communication in conflict resolution between employees in corporate organizations. The results of the study indicate that conflict is often caused by unclear instructions, misunderstandings in conveying messages, and emotional factors such as frustration and personal tension. However, effective interpersonal communication, such as active listening, expressing feelings without blaming, and an open attitude, have been shown to help resolve conflicts constructively. In addition, organizational culture plays an important role in influencing conflict resolution styles. In organizations with an open and collaborative communication culture, approaches such as negotiation and compromise are more often applied, resulting in mutually beneficial solutions. In contrast, more hierarchical organizations tend to avoid conflict or use coercion, which often results in dissatisfaction. This study emphasizes the importance of developing interpersonal communication skills and an organizational culture that supports openness to create a harmonious and productive work environment.

This study examines and compares the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) with the Sharia Compliance Asset Pricing Model (SCAPM) in constructing an optimal stock portfolio based on the sharia stock index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, specifically the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), during the 2019–2023 period. The primary aim is to evaluate whether the SCAPM, which incorporates mudharabah profit-sharing returns in place of the risk-free rate, offers more relevant insights for Muslim investors compared to the CAPM. Utilizing a quantitative approach and a two-step regression method, the research develops an optimal portfolio by calculating stock betas and analyzing the relationship between systematic risk and expected returns. The findings reveal that neither the CAPM nor the SCAPM models are valid for predicting risk and expected returns for the JII's optimal stock portfolio. This study is intended to guide sharia-compliant investors in making informed decisions and assist investment managers in designing strategies aligned with Islamic financial principles.
