Penggunaan fly ash sebagai bahan tambahan untuk menggantikan sebagian semen merupakan salah satu hal untuk mendorong penggunaan material alternatif. Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh persentase substitusi fly ash sebesar 10%, 30%, dan 50% dengan penambahan zat aditif superplasticizer sikament-NN (Tipe F) dengan dosis 1,2% terhadap kemudahan pengerjaan (workability) dan kekuatan tekan beton. Kinerja beton dianalisis berdasarkan kekuatan tekannya pada hari ke-28 dab kelancaran kerjanya berdasarkan slump. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa kombinasi penggunaan fly ash dan superplasticizer sikament-NN (Tipe F) dapat meningkatkan kemudahan adukan, dengan nilai slump maksimum mencapai 14,3 cm pada presentase fly ash 50%. Namun, peningkatan kelacakan ini berbanding terbalik dengan kekuatan tekan yang konsisten menurun seiring dengan peningkatan penambahan fly ash. Nilai kuat tekan maksimum dicapai oleh campuran beton yang hanya menggunakan superplasticizer tanpa fly ash sebesar 320,50 kg/cm2, sementara nilai yang optimal ditemukan pada variasi persentase 10% dengan penambahan superplasticizer 1,2% menghasilkan kuat tekan sebesar 307,65 kg/cm2, sehingga penggunaan kombinasi ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi efisiensi bagi rekayasa sipil.

Employee performance is a critical element in organizational success, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as garment manufacturing. This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress (X1) and work environment (X2) on employee performance (Y) in garment industry companies in Semarang Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach with multiple linear regression analysis was employed. The population and sample comprised 96 employees using total sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) with 10 items per variable. All classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) were satisfied. Reliability tests yielded Cronbach's Alpha of 0.866 (work stress), 0.941 (work environment), and 0.937 (employee performance), confirming instrument reliability. Results indicate: (1) work stress has no significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 1.581; sig. = 0.117); (2) work environment has a significant positive partial effect on employee performance (t = 9.618; sig. = 0.000); (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect employee performance (F = 56.630; sig. = 0.000) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 54.9%. These findings confirm that optimizing the work environment both physical and non-physical is the primary strategic priority for enhancing employee performance in the garment industry.

Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and simple linear regression using SPSS. The results show that the work environment has a significant impact on employee job satisfaction, evidenced by a significance value smaller than 0.05, with a coefficient of determination of 61.8 percent. This indicates that the better the work environment, both physical and non-physical, the higher the employee job satisfaction. This research is expected to serve as a consideration for the agency in improving the quality of the work environment to support employee job satisfaction and performance.

Open burning of household waste remains the dominant waste disposal practice in rural areas of Indonesia, posing significant risks to public health and environmental quality. This community service activity aimed to provide an innovative, low-smoke waste combustion solution — the rocket stove incinerator — to the residents of Dusun Allukeke, Desa Belapunranga, Kecamatan Parangloe, Kabupaten Gowa. A baseline survey conducted during PBL 1 revealed that 87.6% of households disposed of waste through open burning. An asset-based community development (ABCD) approach was adopted, engaging community members at every stage from planning, construction, to utilisation. The rocket stove was constructed over three days using locally available materials and was demonstrated to significantly reduce visible smoke emissions compared to conventional open burning. The technology works through a vertically insulated combustion chamber that promotes near-complete combustion, reducing waste volume by 50–90% while suppressing particulate matter and hydrocarbon emissions. Community participation strengthened local ownership of the solution. This activity demonstrates that appropriate technology co-constructed with communities can serve as a practical, sustainable, and replicable model for rural waste management.

Low courage in arguing and high communication apprehension often become major obstacles for high school students when facing academic presentations. This Community Service (PkM) program aims to strengthen students' communicative rhetoric skills and public speaking abilities at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar. Based on a needs assessment, partner students need techniques for persuasive public speaking, self-evaluation tools for their communication performance, and strategies for managing mental anxiety. The program was carried out through a practice-based reflective workshop involving 25 students from the school's intra-organizational board. Quantitative evaluation results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking competence, with the average score increasing from 58.4 (pre-test) to 86.2 (post-test). This result recorded an increase in the score difference by 27.8 points, which is equivalent to a competence growth of 47.6%, with the students' classical completeness rate reaching 92%. Qualitatively, observations and interviews confirmed changes in students' speaking behavior, which became more organized, expressive, and varied, and they were able to reduce anxiety independently.
