Rice holds a significant place as a staple food in Indonesia, with its life cycle spanning between 3 to 6 months, depending on the specific variety. An essential part of preserving the quality of rice grains is the drying process. This research aims to investigate how drying affects the quality of rice during this crucial stage. The findings of this study are not only intended to build upon previous research but also to serve as valuable guidance for farmers in making informed decisions about the drying process, ultimately ensuring optimal quality in their harvested grains. This study employed an experimental approach using a completely randomized design, wherein treatments were assigned randomly across all experimental units. The results indicated that the duration of drying significantly impacts the quality of rice grains. It was found that optimal drying occurs over a period of 3 to 4 days under sunlight on a tarpaulin base, which can be effectively used as a benchmark for assessing the quality characteristics of milled upland rice.

The unhealthy financial condition of 7 state-owned construction companies in Indonesia has prompted the Indonesian government to pursue mergers through the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises. This study analyzes the impact of these mergers on the 7 state-owned construction companies in Indonesia based on the synergy theory. This research is a literature study that uses previous research findings as a basis to reinforce the impact of mergers analyzed based on the synergy theory. According to the results of the literature analysis conducted, the synergy theory suggests that merging the 7 state-owned construction companies can be expected to increase profitability and improve financial health. This is because mergers can enhance efficiency, and market power, and strengthen the companies financial condition.

Otomasi perpustakaan dilaksanakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna perpustakaan tentang informasi yang semakin komplesk, baik kualitas maupun kuantitasnya. Pengguna ingin memperoleh pelayanan secara, tepat, akurat. Otomasi perpustakaan juga di laksanakan oleh suatu perpustakaan, dalam rangka meningkatkan kinerja perpustakaan, sehingga perpustakaan, dapat memiliki daya saing dengan perpustakan lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk peran mengetahui sistem otomasi dalam meningkatkan pelayanan. Sistem otomasi dapat dimaknai sebagai penganti tenaga-tenaga manusia dengan tenaga mesin secara otomatis sehingga tidak memerlukan pengawan manusia. Sistem otomasi perpustakaan merupakan suatu manajemen sistem yang dapat mempermudah akses baik bagi pengelola maupun penguna perpustakaan. Sistem otomasi perpustakaan yang baik adalah sistem yang terintegrasi, mulai dari sistem pengadaan bahan pustaka, pengolahan bahan pustaka, sistem pencaraian kembali bahan pustaka, sistem sirkulasi (peminjaman, pengembalian dan perpanjangan peminjaman), keanggotaan (membership), pengaturan hak akses keanggotaan, pengaturan denda ke terlambatan pengembalian.

This study aims to analyze the errors in the use of the numerals "er" and "liang" by class VII students of SMP Wahidin in the academic year 2023/2024. This study uses a qualitative research method with elicitation and interview techniques to describe the types of errors and factors causing errors made by class VII students of SMP Wahidin in the academic year 2023/2024. The results of the data analysis prove that students still make many mistakes in using the numerals "er" and "liang". The types of errors made by class VII students of SMP Wahidin when using the numerals "er" and "liang" consist of 178 selection errors, 80 sequencing errors, 4 addition errors and 2 subtraction errors. While the factors causing errors consist of mother tongue interference as many as 12 people, lack of discussion of the material as many as 2 people, Mandarin language learning strategies as many as 2 people and teachers who are not serious in teaching as many as 8 people.

In Indonesia, maize has replaced rice as the staple food. However, many farmers fail to achieve optimal maize growth rates and yields because the maize planting techniques developed by them depend only on their knowledge and understanding of the relevant sciences relevant to maize planting. To determine the effect of applying different spacing and planting depths on the growth and yield of maize was the objective of this study. A factorial RAK model with two factors was used in this study. There were three levels of planting distance notation (J) in this RAK: 70 x 25 cm for Planting Distance 1, 70 x 40 cm for Planting Distance 2, and 75 x 50 cm for Planting Distance 3. There were also four levels of planting depth notation (K): 3 cm for Depth 1, 5 cm for Depth 2, 7 cm for Depth 3, and 8 cm for Depth 4. The results showed that it could really affect the growth and yield of corn at the correlation of spacing 75 x 50 cm and depth 5 cm. Farm women also contribute to this activity with their experience and skills because the higher the presence of farm women who contribute will make the results of corn farming higher.

Polygamy in Islam is regulated with clear provisions based on the Qur'an and Hadith. Surah Al-Nisa/4:3 permits polygamy with a maximum of four wives, under the primary condition of fairness in fulfilling material needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. However, Surah Al-Nisa/4:129 emphasizes that emotional fairness, such as inclinations of the heart, cannot be mandated as it is beyond human capability. The Prophet Muhammad SAW exemplified how to practice polygamy while adhering to the principle of justice emphasized in Islam. Historically, the regulation of polygamy aimed to address social crises in early Islamic society, such as the high number of widows and orphans due to war. Polygamy was viewed as a social solution to protect the rights of women and children, albeit under strict conditions. In conclusion, polygamy in Islam is an option permitted only in specific circumstances, not an obligation or outright recommendation, with a strong emphasis on justice and the welfare of all parties involved.

In the rapidly evolving digital era, effective business models are crucial for sustaining competitiveness. This research explores the application of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to TemplateKuy, a digital platform providing Notion and Spreadsheet templates. The study aims to identify how BMC's nine components—customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structures—can be optimized for business growth and sustainability. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving interviews, observations, and SWOT analysis to evaluate TemplateKuy’s strategic positioning. The findings reveal that BMC helps TemplateKuy create tailored strategies that align with market demands, improve operational efficiency, and increase value for its users. However, challenges such as resource limitations and market competition persist. These results offer valuable insights for similar businesses aiming to leverage BMC for strategic planning. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation and customer feedback to maintain relevance in the dynamic digital industry.

The recruitment and selection process of teachers in educational institutions plays a crucial role in determining the quality of education provided to students.
