The rapid growth of information technology, including cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, is driving increased energy consumption and carbon emissions in the technology sector. A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that global data center electricity consumption will more than double, reaching approximately 945 TWh by 2030, or about 3% of global electricity consumption. A Deloitte study even estimates that data centers could contribute around 4% by 2030, primarily driven by the growing use of artificial intelligence. Beside physical infrastructure, software also significantly contributes to energy consumption, necessitating Green IT and Green Software approaches to reduce environmental impact. This research aims to identify and classify energy metrics used in the literature, analyze the trade-offs between energy consumption and system performance, and summarize relevant best practices for application in industrial settings. This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, referring to the Kitchenham protocol. The search was conducted on the IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and arXiv databases for articles published between 2021 and 2025 that included empirical data or conceptual models related to the energy efficiency of information systems. From the screening process, a number of articles were obtained and analyzed thematically. The research results show that energy metrics vary from hardware-based measurements (power meter) to estimation models (GSMM, GSMP). A trade-off was also found between energy savings and performance, necessitating a multi-objective optimization approach. This research contributes by providing a framework for classifying energy metrics, visualizing measurement method trends, and offering methodological recommendations that can be integrated into industrial practice. The implications of this research are to support digital sustainability efforts while simultaneously reducing the organization's operational costs.

The implementation of Islamic economics in the modern financial system is an effort to create an economic system that is fair, transparent, and sustainable, based on the principles taught in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The main principles of Islamic economics, such as the prohibition of riba (interest), fairness in transactions, zakat, the prohibition of gharar (uncertainty), and the balance in wealth distribution, provide a strong foundation for the formation of a more inclusive and social economic system. However, its implementation in the era of globalization faces various challenges, such as the lack of uniformity in Islamic legal standards across countries, differences in legal interpretations, and the integration of new technologies like fintech, blockchain, and cryptocurrency, which often conflict with Islamic principles. One solution that can be pursued is the development of Sharia-compliant digital financial products that adhere to the principles of fair and transparent transactions. On the other hand, Islamic financial institutions need to improve operational efficiency and strengthen the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) to ensure that financial products are in line with Sharia principles. Education and training in Islamic economics are also key to building a better understanding and accelerating the adoption of Islamic economic principles in the global financial system. Through close collaboration between Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and educational institutions, it is hoped that Islamic economics can provide a more ethical and sustainable alternative in the international market.

This study aims to analyze the level of user satisfaction with the Library Information System using the PIECES Framework approach. This method includes six main indicators: Performance, Information, Economics, Control and Security, Efficiency, and Service. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 30 respondents consisting of library managers and users. The results showed that all indicators were SATISFIED with an average satisfaction score of 3.46. The Control and Security indicator obtained the highest score with a value of 3.93, while Service was the indicator with the lowest value, namely 3.51.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are widely recognized as strategic instruments for corporate growth, restructuring, and competitive advantage. This semantic review synthesizes recent Scopus‑indexed literature to examine the strategic implications and performance outcomes of M&A. The study highlights that strategic alignment between acquiring and target firms is fundamental to synergy realization, operational efficiency, and innovation. Managerial expertise emerges as a decisive factor, with effective leadership ensuring smooth integration and long‑term value creation. Market dynamics, including economic volatility, regulatory changes, and geopolitical tensions, significantly influence M&A strategies and outcomes, while technological integration accelerates digital transformation and enhances competitive positioning. Cultural fit is identified as a critical determinant of organizational cohesion, with misalignment often leading to employee resistance and reduced productivity. Financial outcomes vary, ranging from profitability improvements through economies of scale to underperformance caused by overestimated synergies or poor integration. Furthermore, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly shaping M&A strategies, reinforcing stakeholder trust and sustainable value creation. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates strategic foresight, managerial acumen, market awareness, technological innovation, and sustainability, firms can optimize M&A as a tool for growth and resilience in dynamic global markets.

This research aims to design a new warehouse layout at Alfamart with a dedicated storage method to increase material storage capacity. The instrument cluster assembly process at Alfamart is very dependent on the smooth supply of materials. The increase in production capacity from 2,500 units/day to 3,000 units/day in 2021 causes a larger need for storage space. The main problem identified is the limitation of the material placement area in the old warehouse. In this study, an analysis was carried out on the types of goods placement policies and optimal facility layout. The research method used is a combination of literature study and data collection from the research site. The results of the analysis show that the new layout design can increase the storage capacity up to 30%, from 240 pallets to 312 pallets. The new layout not only improves the placement of goods, but also increases operational efficiency through wider lanes, clear zoning systems, and better lighting. Thus, this research makes a significant contribution to warehouse management at Alfamart, ensuring that all materials can be stored and accessed in accordance with the established standards.

Indonesia's aerospace sector plays a crucial role in maintaining national sovereignty. However, the country's airspace is often infiltrated by irresponsible parties, necessitating an effective monitoring system. Unmanned radio-controlled helicopters are a potential solution, although they are limited in range. This study aims to design a long-range control system for radio-controlled helicopters using satellite phone communication, which offers wide coverage and can reach remote areas. The system comprises a remote control, a radio converter circuit, an audio mixer, and a satellite phone. The radio converter functions to transform the radio control signal frequency into its original frequency without a carrier frequency, which is then re-converted to be compatible with satellite phone input for signal transmission. Test results indicate that the system can transmit control signals with adequate frequency stability within the expected range. Despite minor oscillator instability at certain stages, the system overall operates as designed. In conclusion, this satellite phone-based control system effectively extends the operational range of radio-controlled helicopters and serves as a strategic solution for monitoring Indonesia's airspace.
