The human body cannot work properly without water. Therefore, it is essential to conduct testing and monitoring of drinking water quality to ensure its safety and suitability for consumption. This has prompted researchers to develop more efficient systems compared to traditional methods. This study employs a systematic literature review approach by analysing various published articles to identify and evaluate the application of different types of sensors capable of detecting physical and chemical parameters for assessing drinking water quality. The findings indicate that the integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology can provide accurate data that is accessible in real-time and remote locations. Furthermore, to enhance the reliability of the system, it is necessary to further develop data processing algorithms by applying artificial intelligence (AI) and/or machine learning technique to create smart systems with improved predictive capabilities. The implementation of these technologies is expected to support the Indonesian government’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing safe and affordable access to drinking water for all its citizens.

Pig farming is crucial in local economies and food security, providing a vital protein source and economic opportunities. In Samarinda City, East Kalimantan, the sector demonstrates significant potential due to abundant natural resources and rising market demand, contributing 15% of the province’s pork production in 2024. This study examines strategies for developing pig farming businesses in Samarinda City using a mixed-methods approach, integrating descriptive and analytical methods. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with 50 respondents, including farmers, traders, and policymakers, complemented by secondary data from government agencies. Analytical tools such as SWOT, Location Quotient (LQ), and multiple regression were employed. The findings reveal that Samarinda Utara and Palaran have the highest specialization in pig farming, with LQ values of 1.8 and 1.7, supported by ample land and feed resources. Key drivers of farmer income include production scale and policy support, while high feed costs, comprising up to 70% of production expenses, remain a significant challenge. Recommendations include diversifying pork-based products, adopting modern technologies, strengthening policies, and improving distribution infrastructure. This research provides actionable insights to enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of pig farming, contributing to regional economic development and agricultural resilience.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Effectiveness of story-mapping techniques in teaching narrative text reading. The method used in this study is the method experiment; the researcher chose the group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this research was all the students in the eighth grade at SMPN 5 Jombang, consisting of nine classes and a total of 279 students. The researchers examine the data after gathering it. The story mapping method is an effective approach for improving students' reading skills. This Effectiveness is achieved when the score is statistically significant, with a p-value lower than 0.05 in a two-tailed test. The result is known that student learning achievement in learning narrative texts in classes using story mapping techniques has increased significantly compared to classes without story map techniques. This statement is in accordance with data collection calculations by comparing the observation t value (to = 2.35) with the t table (tt = 2.00). It can be seen that to is higher than tt (to >tt). In conclusion, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. Therefore, teaching reading narrative texts using story mapping techniques is effective at SMPN 5 JOMBANG.
