This study examines the sustainability of religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque before and after the establishment of the West Sumatra Grand Mosque, as well as the contributing factors from mosque administrators and congregants in maintaining these activities despite the presence of the new mosque. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a fieldwork approach. Data collection techniques include direct observation, in-depth interviews with mosque administrators and congregants, and documentation of religious activities. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion/verification, with source, technique, and time triangulation employed to ensure data validity.The results indicate that religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque continue consistently in various forms, such as congregational prayers, Qur'anic studies, and other religious-social programs. In fact, new services have been added, such as funeral management, which originated from the initiative of the mosque administrators rather than being influenced by the presence of the Grand Mosque. However, a technical disturbance was identified—namely, the disruption of prayer concentration due to overlapping use of loudspeakers (microphones) from the West Sumatra Grand Mosque when activities occur simultaneously.The sustainability of religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque is supported by three main factors: effective and visionary leadership, a strong sense of ownership among congregants, and innovative programs tailored to community needs. The firm commitment of the mosque administrators and the active participation of the congregants are key to ensuring the continued role of Al-Irsyad Mosque as a center for religious life amidst external challenges.

This study aims to analyze the reliability and performance of Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes using the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Inherent Availability (IA) methods. The MTTR method is used to measure the average time required for repairs, while MTBF calculates the average time between failures. Meanwhile, the IA method assesses the inherent availability of the equipment based on the previous two parameters. The results indicate that some RTG units experience high MTTR, such as RTG035-12, which recorded a repair time of 124.15 hours in January, and RTG035-13 with 441.23 hours in February. On the other hand, RTG035-19 demonstrated more stable performance with low MTTR in several months. In terms of MTBF, RTG035-16 recorded the lowest value of 0 hours in July, indicating significant disruptions, whereas RTG035-12 exhibited the best performance with the highest MTBF of 614 hours in December. The IA analysis revealed that some RTGs had low values, such as RTG035-13, which only reached 0.312 in February, while RTG035-19 maintained values above 0.95 throughout the year, demonstrating high reliability. This study provides insights into the performance of RTG equipment at the Semarang Container Terminal (TPKS) and emphasizes the need for effective maintenance strategies to enhance operational reliability and efficiency.

The largest source of energy currently utilized is still predominantly from fossils. Fossil energy sources are non-renewable so over time they will run out. So it is necessary to utilize renewable energy sources. One renewable energy source that is environmentally friendly and easy to obtain is wind energy. Wind is a collection of air that is experiencing movement due to a difference in pressure on the earth's surface. Wind will move from areas of high pressure to areas of lower pressure. Experimental research on wind energy is a useful energy that can be put to good use. Wind energy is a form of energy that comes from utilizing air flow in the atmosphere to produce mechanical or electrical energy. The main technology used to utilize wind energy is a wind turbine, which converts wind kinetic energy into electrical energy through a generator. Which of course also requires sufficient wind speed so that the wind turbine can rotate and produce mechanical movement in the form of rotational torque which can then be converted into electrical energy. Wind energy has great potential as a clean, sustainable and environmentally friendly resource, as it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or hazardous waste during its operation. However, wind energy development faces challenges such as fluctuations in wind speed, large land requirements, visual impacts, and potential disruption to local ecosystems. With technological innovation and careful planning, wind energy can be a significant solution to meet global energy needs in a sustainable manner.
