The rapid growth of big data has significantly increased the demand for efficient and scalable data processing methods, particularly within cloud computing environments. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of distributed computing frameworks, specifically Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark, in optimizing big data processing. A qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method is employed to analyze existing studies related to distributed systems, cloud computing architectures, and performance optimization techniques. The analysis focuses on key performance indicators, including processing speed, resource utilization, and scalability, as well as the suitability of each framework for different data processing scenarios. The findings indicate that Apache Hadoop is highly effective for batch processing and storage-intensive tasks due to its disk-based architecture, while Apache Spark demonstrates superior performance in real-time and iterative processing through its in-memory computing capabilities. Additionally, system configuration factors such as cluster size, memory allocation, and network bandwidth are identified as critical elements influencing overall performance. The study also highlights emerging trends, including the adoption of hybrid cloud environments, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the utilization of edge computing to enhance real-time data processing. In conclusion, distributed computing frameworks play a vital role in improving the efficiency and scalability of big data processing in cloud environments. The selection of an appropriate framework, combined with optimized system configuration, can significantly enhance operational performance and support data-driven decision-making.

Foundations are structural elements that play a crucial role in ensuring the stability and safety of buildings; therefore, understanding soil characteristics and stratification is a critical stage in geotechnical design. This study aims to analyze soil characteristics and stratification using Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data as a basis for determining safe and efficient foundation depth. The research method employed a quantitative–descriptive approach utilizing CPT test data obtained from two test points at the research site in Blitar City, East Java. The analyzed parameters include cone resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), and friction ratio (Rf), which were recorded continuously with depth in accordance with ASTM D3441-86. The results indicate that the shallow soil layer up to a depth of approximately 2.0 m is dominated by fine-grained soils with low qc values and high Rf values, making it unsuitable as a foundation bearing layer. The soil layer with the most favorable mechanical characteristics was identified at a depth of approximately 5.5–6.0 m, characterized by high and relatively stable qc values and low Rf values, indicating dense coarse-grained soil. Variations in the depth of hard soil layers between test points suggest lateral variability in subsurface conditions. These findings confirm that CPT data are effective for identifying soil stratification and providing preliminary recommendations for foundation depth in geotechnical planning.

The fire suppression ability of this sprinkler installation compared to other fire extinguishing equipment has been proven to be more effective. Because the sprinkler system does not require an operator when operating, fires can be prevented earlier before causing greater losses. For this reason, the implementation of sprinkler systems in buildings is crucial. According to KEPMEN PU NO. 10/KPTS/2000, a building must have elements that can maintain structural stability to a certain level during a fire. This research was conducted directly in the field, and the necessary data was obtained independently through interviews with relevant parties. The author conducted research observations in the archive warehouse to obtain both primary and secondary data. Primary data included field documentation and calculations. Planning calculations were done directly by calculating the number of sprinklers, water requirements, and reservoirs to determine the precise needs. Based on the survey, it was found that the size of the archive warehouse is 48 x 48 m, totaling 2304 m2. The maximum distance between sprinklers used was 4.6 m. Therefore, the effective distance between sprinkler heads is 193 units. The result of the calculation for the water supply for the sprinkler system obtained 34,139.77 liters, with the total overall cost for the equipment and materials used being Rp. 63,121,925.74. Based on the data and calculation results regarding the planning and design of fire protection equipment in open active spaces adhering to the NFPA-13 Standard for the Year 2019, it is expected to provide comfort and safety against the threat of fire incidents.

Notary is a public official who has the authority to make authentic deeds. Authentic deeds have formal functions that cannot be carried out by other public officials, so they have strong evidentiary power. In relation to this background, the author considers the following issues: the responsibility and legal protection of notaries for the deeds they make. The method used in this research is normative research using the technique of collecting legal materials through literature study, using primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the research show that the elements of the criminal act of falsifying an authentic deed committed by a notary include fulfilling subjective elements by falsifying an authentic deed. Criminal sanctions for notaries involved in this criminal act are based on Articles 264 paragraph (1) and 266 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code, which stipulate penalties for notaries who make a deed by deliberately using the deed as if its contents were true. From this discussion, it can be concluded that deeds that do not meet the requirements set out in statutory regulations do not have strong evidentiary power and do not have binding legal force.
