Organic farming has increasingly become a preferred choice in sustainable agricultural systems due to its significant benefits for environmental balance and quality. One of the key elements in organic farming is soil microorganisms, which play a crucial role in enhancing soil fertility and supporting plant health. Soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing microbes, mycorrhiza, and organic matter decomposers, contribute significantly to fertilization efficiency and nutrient availability, as well as improving plant resistance to pathogens. The utilization of soil microorganisms as biofertilizers can reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, mitigate environmental pollution, and increase agricultural productivity sustainably. Furthermore, soil microorganisms can improve soil structure, extend root longevity, and stimulate plant growth. The selection of appropriate microorganisms according to soil conditions and intended use is essential to maximize their benefits. Therefore, the application of soil fertility-promoting microorganisms as part of sustainable agricultural technology holds great potential to enhance environmentally friendly and efficient agricultural outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing Game Based Learning (GBL) in improving students' learning outcomes on the human digestive system material in grade V at SDN Dukuh Kupang 3/490 Surabaya. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design involving two groups: the experimental group (15 students) taught using GBL and the control group (15 students) taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through learning outcome tests (pretest and posttest), observation sheets, and learning motivation questionnaires. Data analysis used the independent sample t-test to examine differences in learning outcomes between the two groups. The results showed that the posttest average score of the experimental group (85.7) was significantly higher than that of the control group (74.3), with p < 0.05. Additionally, observations indicated that active student engagement in the experimental group reached 91%, while the control group only achieved 72%. The application of GBL also increased students' learning motivation, with the motivation score of the experimental group rising from 67.8% to 88.5%. This study concludes that the implementation of Game Based Learning is effective in enhancing learning outcomes, engagement, and motivation in IPAS lessons on the human digestive system material. These findings recommend GBL as an innovative teaching method for improving educational quality in elementary schools.

All companies hope for an effective and efficient production system, but an imperfect production system means that PT XYZ must improve its production activities. The company strives to produce good products followed by a high level of productivity. In this research, we investigate a case at PT XYZ which produces hot stamping foil in the rewind section. This research found that there was waste that occurred in set-up replacement activities in production. Because it requires a long processing time, we perfected the system by implementing the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) method, then the process optimized internal activities in the set-up process. The application of the SMED concept is carried out by changing internal activities into external activities with the addition of helpers. This research aims to provide a more effective and efficient set-up replacement process so that machine downtime can be reduced. The results of this research show a 52% reduction in set-up time obtained by adding a helper with a time before implementation of 58 minutes to 30 minutes. This research concludes that SMED is effective in reducing machine set-up time and increasing the efficiency of the production process with benefits after implementing the SMED method by adding a helper of Rp. 10,649,336. In this way, implementing the SMED method helps companies increase production set-up replacement times in the rewind section.  

In this era of widespread globalization, the role of administration has become increasingly important in several different ways. The importance of an educational administration system to be implemented has become one of the benchmarks of educational quality, especially in the teaching and learning process, although its implementation has not been maximized. With proper management, educational goals can be achieved effectively and efficiently. Educational administration is a crucial aspect of managing an effective and efficient educational system. This study aims to analyze the role and importance of educational administration in improving the quality of learning. The method used is a qualitative approach with documentation techniques, involving the collection of data from various official documents and reports related to the practices of educational administration. The research findings show that educational administration significantly contributes to curriculum planning, resource management, as well as the evaluation and supervision of the teaching and learning process. These findings are expected to provide insights for policymakers and education practitioners to continue improving the quality of education in Indonesia. Therefore, it is important for all parties involved, including the government, institutional managers, educators, and the community, to collaborate in supporting the educational administration process. Investing in the improvement of educational administration quality is a vital step to ensure the development of high-quality human resources in the future.

This study examines the effectiveness of organic fertilizers in improving the quality and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants through a comprehensive literature study. A systematic review was conducted on recent scientific publications that discuss various types of organic fertilizers, including chicken manure, bokashi, organic liquid fertilizer, and eco-enzyme. The research method used a literature study approach by analyzing articles from 2020-2024, focusing on the effectiveness of organic fertilizers in increasing the growth and productivity of cucumber plants.The results showed that organic fertilizers do not merely provide nutrients, but transform as agents of soil ecosystem regeneration. Each type of organic fertilizer has a unique mechanism in influencing plant growth, including increased microbiological activity, optimization of soil structure, and stimulation of the root system. Variations in plant responses depend on genotype, fertilizer composition and environmental conditions. The research resulted in practical recommendations for sustainable organic fertilization strategies, emphasizing the importance of a precision and holistic approach in cucumber crop nutrient management. The findings make a significant contribution in the development of sustainable agriculture.

Signature verification is crucial for confirming the authenticity of identities in both administrative and financial transactions, where signature forgery can lead to significant security risks. The Harris Corner Detector Algorithm is a widely used method for feature extraction in image processing; its application spans various domains, such as detection of signature forgery. While effective in identifying key features, noise significantly affects performance, especially with impulse noise like salt-and-pepper noise commonly found in signature images. To solve this problem, this study enhances the Harris Corner Detector Algorithm by applying a median filter before gradient calculation. This method removes noise without sacrificing the integrity of key features important in signature forgery detection. The study evaluates the original and the enhanced algorithm using standard image quality metrics. Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) surged from an average of 13.6 dB to 43.28 dB, the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) improved significantly from 78% to 94%, and the Mean Squared Error (MSE) dropped substantially from 16.74 to 3.84. These advancements resulted in a more reliable algorithm, exhibiting excellent resistance to noise while maintaining image structure, making the enhanced algorithm highly effective for accurate signature forgery detection.
