Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is known for its high congestion levels. Data from the TomTom Traffic Index shows that Jakarta ranked 30th in the world in 2023 as one of the most congested cities, with a congestion level reaching 53% during peak hours. Pisangan Lama in East Jakarta is one of the densely populated areas, adjacent to busy roads. The main campus of STIKOM CKI, also located in East Jakarta, is situated along a route prone to heavy traffic. Given the congestion issues and the lack of information on the nearest routes, this study aims to implement the A* algorithm to find the shortest route from Pisangan Lama, East Jakarta, to the main campus of STIKOM CKI. The A* algorithm is chosen for its optimal routing capabilities. Based on research on three routes (Jl. I Gusti Ngurah Rai, Jl. Basuki Rachmat, and Jl. Raya Kalimalang), the results show that the route via Jl. Basuki Rachmat is the shortest, with a distance of 7.7 km. The implementation of the A* algorithm is expected to provide an efficient solution for the community in finding the nearest route.

Amid the accelerating rhythm of digital culture, academic competition, and the changing patterns of student life in higher education, the formation of Muslim student character has become an increasingly urgent concern. A campus mosque can no longer be viewed merely as a place of worship; it must also be understood as a strategic nonformal Islamic educational space that nurtures spirituality, morality, social awareness, and student identity in a more contextual way. This study aims to analyze the role of the campus mosque as a space for shaping Muslim student character through the Islamic mentoring program at Masjid Syamsul Ulum, Telkom University. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on document study and thematic analysis of scholarly articles, mentoring program documents, and relevant works on campus mosques, religious moderation, and student character education. The findings show that the mentoring program at Masjid Syamsul Ulum is systematically designed through a clear structure, curriculum, methods, evaluation tools, and mentor regeneration, all of which are integrated with the institutional values of Harmony, Excellence, and Integrity. Socioculturally, the program functions not only as a medium for religious instruction but also as a process of value internalization, habituation of religious practice, strengthening of moderation, and construction of Muslim student identity within a technology-oriented university environment. This study proposes a conceptual understanding that the campus mosque can serve as a strategic space for shaping Muslim students who are religious, moderate, collaborative, and adaptive in the digital era.

The search and booking of boarding houses (kost) remain a significant challenge for newcomers in campus areas, particularly in Kelurahan Samata, home to UIN Alauddin Makassar, which admits approximately 15,000 new students annually. Many of these students come from outside the region and require temporary accommodation near the campus. This issue is primarily caused by limited access to information and the lack of an optimal system to support the search and booking process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the level of user acceptance of the developed system. This study aims to analyze user acceptance of a boarding house search and booking information system in the case of Kelurahan Samata using the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) method. UAT is a testing approach used to determine whether a system meets user requirements, is accepted according to expected standards, and to identify the need for further improvements to ensure its feasibility for use. The UAT was conducted by end users, namely boarding house seekers and property owners/managers, by responding to 10 evaluation indicators: (1) ease of search, (2) time efficiency, (3) booking process, (4) geospatial search features, (5) completeness of information, (6) availability of suitable boarding houses, (7) accuracy of information, (8) ease of payment process, (9) check-in scheduling, and (10) navigation features for directions. The results of the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) indicate that the system achieved an average score of 87.77, suggesting that the system is highly acceptable and significantly facilitates users. These findings demonstrate that the system is well received by users, confirming that it functions effectively and is capable of accommodating all required functionalities.

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of implementing Solar-Powered Street Lighting (PJUTS) as an alternative lighting solution in Campus C of UNINDRA PGRI. The background of this research is driven by the high operational electricity costs of the existing conventional street lighting system and the need to transition toward clean energy. The analysis methods include a technical comparison of off-grid systems, an economic evaluation based on cost savings, and an assessment of environmental impacts. The technical analysis indicates that PJUTS is highly feasible due to its ability to operate independently without reliance on the national electricity grid, thereby ensuring lighting continuity during power outages. From an economic perspective, although the initial investment (CAPEX) is higher than that of conventional street lighting, the project is considered feasible as it eliminates monthly electricity bills permanently, resulting in long-term budget efficiency and financial benefits. The Payback Period analysis shows that the initial investment can be recovered through cumulative operational cost savings. Environmentally, the implementation of PJUTS significantly contributes to carbon emission reduction and supports the Green Campus vision through the utilization of renewable energy. Overall, the transformation of the existing street lighting system into PJUTS represents a strategic and feasible initiative that fulfills effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability criteria.

We give thanks to the presence of God Almighty because, by His abundant grace and blessings, this course material has been compiled as a form of commitment to instill and develop the noble values of Pancasila among the younger generation, especially students. In the midst of the tide of globalization bringing various changes and challenges, it is important for us to hold firmly to the fundamental values that serve as the identity and foundation of the Indonesian nation. Pancasila — as the state foundation and national ideology — should not only serve as a formal symbol of the nation, but must become a moral guide in attitude, thought, and action. In the context of a global society, students are required not only to be intellectually and professionally capable, but also resilient in upholding Pancasila-based national values. Through this material, it is hoped that students will be able to understand, internalize, and actualize the values of Pancasila concretely in campus life, social life, and even in the global sphere. Character education based on Pancasila becomes the key in shaping a generation who are integrous, empathetic, competitive, and uphold the values of humanity, democracy, and justice. In closing, may this material become a real contribution in shaping a young generation who are not only knowledgeable, but also have noble character — as a manifestation of the true Pancasila generation.
