Internet of Things (IoT) is an era that connects devices and enables smarter and more connected interactions via the internet. In this era, CCTV is very necessary to monitor the condition of the room (house). This CCTV aims to monitor the room (house) when we as the owner are outside so that we feel safe. This time the researchers combined the implementation of CCTV and IoT using a localhost website with the aim that we as owners can access wherever we are without reducing the clarity of the resulting image quality. Researchers chose Web Localhost because Web Localhost uses the internet as its working system, and does not reduce the quality it obtains.    

Government policy changes and drug price fluctuations related to e-catalog can affect drug costs and types purchased between 2022 and 2023. This research aimed to analyze the differences in drug procurement using the e-catalog system and its interaction with hospital financial and operational variables. The study employed a mixed-methods approach to understand the dynamics of drug procurement at Pharmacy Department of X Hospital through the e-catalog system between 2022 and 2023. This research evaluated changes in purchasing volume, costs, cost efficiency, and service speed. Quantitative data were obtained from e-catalog documentation, focusing on the types, volumes, and prices of chronic medications, as well as BPJS claims. Statistical analysis was used to compare the study periods, while qualitative data from in-depth interviews with 15 respondents, observations and document analysis enriched the understanding of procurement process changes through data triangulation analysis.  The results demonstrated an increased use of e-catalog, with policy changes leading to supplier diversification and price flexibility. Quantitative findings indicated a 25% increase in the volume of drug purchases through the e-catalog from 2022 to 2023, accompanied by a 15% reduction in average drug prices due to heightened competition among suppliers. Additionally, procurement efficiency improved by 30%, as reflected in the reduction of the procurement cycle time from 45 days to 31 days. These findings indicated shifting needs and procurement strategies, affecting budget efficiency and the speed of fulfilling drug requirements. In conclusion, strategic adaptations and ongoing evaluations in managing e-catalog are essential to address financial and logistical challenges, ensuring patient satisfaction and drug availability.    

This research aims to examine the influence of digital literacy on elementary school students' interest in reading and writing during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study examines the influence of monetary policy, particularly interest rates, on economic stability in the TIMI countries (Thailand, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia). It underscores the vital role of interest rates in controlling inflation and stimulating economic growth. Utilizing a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model, the research analyzes the reciprocal relationships between crucial economic indicators such as GDP, CPI, exchange rates, consumption, interest rates, and trade balances from 2008 to 2022. For instance, adjustments in interest rates can influence investment levels, consumption patterns, and inflation rates, thereby affecting overall economic activity. The Granger causality tests indicate that short-term relationships between these variables are insignificant, but long-term interactions are evident. This supports the Johansen cointegration results, which confirm two cointegrated equations at the 5% significance level. The study emphasizes maintaining interest rate stability for sustainable economic growth and price stability. It highlights that fluctuations in interest rates, influenced by global economic conditions and domestic economic policies, play a crucial role in the economic performance of TIMI countries. Recommendations for central banCM include implementing responsive and adaptive interest rate policies to manage inflation, foster economic growth, and maintain exchange rate stability. This approach is essential for addressing disparities in income, education, healthcare, and technology access, which are critical for equitable economic development. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of a nuanced understanding of monetary policy's impact on economic stability and the need for coordinated efforts between fiscal and monetary authorities to achieve long-term

Medications used for gastrointestinal (GI) disease therapy are widely prescribed or over-the-counter, ranking among the top 10 prescribed and sold globally. These drugs are often concurrently used with other medications, leading to potential drug interactions that can impact their effectiveness. However, the identification of potential interaction severity remains limited. This study focuses on identifying drug interactions in patients with digestive disorders through common prescriptions in Bandung city in November 2023. Out of 50 analyzed prescriptions, 20 potential drug interactions were identified, comprising 8 minor and 12 moderate interactions, with no major interactions.

The Urban Farming Group "Keputih Bersemi," based on educational hydroponics, is an active farming group in Kelurahan Keputih, Surabaya. Urban farming is an ideal choice for urban residents to engage in productive activities that can be followed by the surrounding community and, of course, produce something of added value. The plants or vegetables grown by the Keputih Bersemi farming group include pak choi, lettuce, and others. The harvested produce has not been sold or distributed optimally because marketing activities are conducted conventionally, with members offering the products directly to the surrounding community. This situation arises because the majority of the farming group members are elderly and still unfamiliar with technology. The use of social media, such as Instagram and Whatsapp, plays an important role as it significantly increases the visibility and sales of the group's agricultural products. A marketing strategy that involves engaging content, the use of relevant hashtags, and active interaction with potential customers will expand market reach and attract more potential customers.

Capacitor bank is an arrangement of capacitors in series or parallel that can store energy temporarily and provide limited energy according to its capacity. Basically, a capacitor is composed of two parallel pieces called electrodes separated by a room called a dielectric which when given a voltage will store energy. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of road slope and distance on charging in capacitor banks. In this study used a 2.7 V 500F capacitor and used a generator that has a specification of 300 watts. In this study using a quantitative experimental method that aims to determine the effect of road slope variations of 20⁰ and 25 ⁰ and with distances of 100m, 300m, 500m, 700m, and 900m. Testing is done by measuring the voltage on the capacitor bank using a multitester and indicator by utilizing a data logger and the percentage of voltage capacity on the capacitor bank. Furthermore, the data will be processed in the table using minitab. In the research results, it was concluded that the longer the distance traveled, the more the charging voltage value on the capacitor bank increased. For the effect of road slope on the voltage value on charging capacitor banks does not have a significant effect and for the effect of the interaction between road slope and distance has no effect on the voltage value.
