As people's consumption levels increase, the plastic waste produced will also increase. It's normal if in the future it becomes a serious environmental problem. We need a technology that is able to replace plastic waste into products that have a long life so that they do not return to waste in a short time. Making paving block products from plastic waste is another way of utilizing plastic waste over a long period of time, in order to increase utilization efficiency and reduce the environmental burden on plastic waste and form innovative products into building materials. The most important problem with plastic is plastic waste which cannot be decomposed naturally. Cleaning up plastic waste takes a very long time, and also the use of plastic can hardly be regulated. Based on the results of surveys, interviews and observations conducted on the community around Kuala Village, the community's awareness of waste processing is very minimal and there are lots of piles of plastic waste which can have a negative impact on health and disrupt the preservation of environmental functions, including residential environments, forests, rice fields, and rivers. To reduce the volume of plastic waste that is not managed properly, efforts are being made to utilize plastic waste to make paving blocks in Kuala Lemang Village. to explore the potential for using plastic waste as an alternative material in making environmentally friendly and sustainable paving blocks. Plastic waste collected from the surrounding environment is processed into mixed materials in making paving blocks. This process involves chopping, mixing with conventional materials such as sand, and testing the strength of the final product. Public acceptance of plastic-based paving blocks has proven positive, especially after trials in the local environment. This research contributes to better plastic waste management and offers new economic opportunities in the construction sector, while supporting sustainable development.

The integration of digital transformation into government agencies' performance management has become essential in enhancing public service delivery, efficiency, and accountability. This study focuses on implementing the Electronic System for Government Agency Performance Accountability (E-SAKIP) in Indonesia as a case study of digital transformation.

Emerging technologies are transforming warehouse operations, and this study investigated the effectiveness of implementing the Internet of Things (IoT), Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Robotics into warehouse operations. A descriptive correlational research design was employed, utilizing surveys to gather data from warehouse personnel and focusing on key performance indicators such as inventory accuracy, order fulfillment efficiency, cost reduction, and timely delivery satisfaction. The findings revealed a high level of familiarity with RFID and IoT among warehouse personnel, and a strong belief in the positive impact of these technologies on warehouse operations. However, challenges such as implementation costs, technical issues, and regulatory compliance were identified. Surprisingly, the analysis did not reveal a significant relationship between the implementation of these technologies and their overall effectiveness on warehouse operations. Future research should consider qualitative methodologies and larger sample sizes to explore other factors influencing warehouse performance.

Sukomulyo is a village located in Kaliwungu Selatan District, Kendal Regency, most of whose residents work as farmers. The rice fields in Sukomulyo village are irrigated using river water which is taken directly from the Waridin River with a diesel water pump. The process of irrigating the rice fields takes a long time, so the water pumps are simply left alone by the farmers because they are doing other activities. Often farmers forget to turn off the water pumps they turn on, resulting in wasteful use of river water and fuel. When the dry season arrives, there could be a decrease in the river water discharge to the ground which has the potential to result in farmers not being able to irrigate their rice fields with water. To overcome this problem, the Sukomulyo farmer group in collaboration with the PPL (Agricultural Extension Worker) of Kaliwungu Selatan District built a water pump house which is used for their rice field irrigation needs. With the construction of the water pump house, it is hoped that it can irrigate farmers' rice fields during the dry season and can increase agricultural production in Sukomulyo Village and can reduce farmers' worries when the river water does not flow

An expert system is a device designed with the thought processes of one or more experts in specific or complex fields of knowledge. This system is built on instructional elements that identify and analyze data to address unstructured problems or conduct mathematical analyses of particular issues. With the advancement of web-based information technology, computer damage detection becomes easier for users. Therefore, a web-based expert system application using the certainty factor method is needed to detect computer damage. The certainty factor method works based on symptoms and diagnoses weighted by experts and user input. These weights are then calculated using the certainty factor formula to produce a confidence level in the given diagnosis. The end result is the creation of an expert system application capable of detecting computer damage for users using the web-based certainty factor method. This application not only enhances efficiency in detecting damage but also facilitates maintenance processes by providing a history of damage detection, thereby reducing the time required for repairs. Thus, this application offers an effective and efficient solution for computer damage detection. Additionally, this application can be continually developed and adapted to user needs, making it a highly useful tool in computer maintenance across various environments.
