Digital transformation has led companies to adopt digital attendance systems to improve administrative efficiency. PT. Abdai Indonesia has implemented a web-based attendance system, but several issues have emerged, including a non-intuitive interface, confusing navigation, and features that do not meet user needs. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the system’s usability using the Web Usability testing method. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, with data collected through the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire, direct observation, and structured interviews. The sample consisted of 21 active users from various divisions. The findings show an average usability score of 2.23 out of 5, indicating a low level of system usability. Most respondents expressed dissatisfaction and difficulty using the system, particularly in terms of interface design, navigation, and operational efficiency. Evaluation based on Jakob Nielsen’s five usability components—Learnability, Efficiency, Memorability, Error Handling, and Satisfaction—revealed that none achieved a satisfactory score. These results suggest that the system requires significant improvements, especially in user interface design and overall user experience. This research is expected to serve as a reference for enhancing the digital attendance system in the future, making it easier to use and better aligned with user expectations.

This study aims to analyze the impact of human resource (HR) development strategies on improving the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The strategies studied include skills training, marketing digitalization, and cross-sector collaboration and partnerships. The research method used is Systematic Literature Review with a content analysis approach to scientific literature published in the last five years. The results show that the strategy has a positive impact on increasing the competence of MSME actors, expanding markets, and strengthening competitiveness. However, several challenges such as the lack of digital literacy and limited training are still significant obstacles. Therefore, integrated policies, expanded access to training, and digital ecosystem support are needed to support the sustainable growth of MSMEs.

This study highlights the importance of needs analysis in developing learner-centered curricula. Using a library research approach, it explores how investigative techniques—such as interviews, surveys, and classroom observations—can effectively uncover both explicit and implicit student needs. The analysis reveals that triangulating these techniques provides a more holistic and valid understanding of learners. Teachers are encouraged to take on the role of "curriculum detectives" who not only implement but also actively investigate and adapt the curriculum based on data and empathy toward student experiences. The study concludes that systematic and continuous needs analysis leads to dynamic, responsive, and inclusive curriculum design, fostering meaningful and transformation learning experiences.

This study aims to describe the implementation of game-based learning through the Kahoot platform as a form of learning innovation in the digital era, especially in history teaching at the Junior High School (SMP) level. In the era of the Kurikulum Merdeka, which emphasises differentiated and participatory learning, the use of interactive digital media is a strategic solution in increasing student engagement and motivation to learn. Kahoot, as a game-based quiz platform, offers interactive features that teachers can utilise to deliver material engagingly, conduct formative evaluations, and create a fun and competitive learning environment. This study was compiled using a descriptive approach through a literature review from various scientific sources related to the use of Kahoot in learning. The results of the survey indicate that implementing Kahoot can increase students' enthusiasm, enhance their understanding of the material, and foster the development of 21st-century skills, including collaboration and digital literacy. Additionally, the technical steps for using Kahoot, including account creation, quiz design, and student participation, are explained in detail to provide educators with practical guidance. Thus, the integration of Kahoot in history learning is considered relevant and effective as part of an adaptive and meaningful digital education transformation.
 
 

The implementation of coal mining activities with an open pit system at the end of its activities will leave behind the remains of former mining holes. Control of acid mine water is something that needs to be done during mining activities until the end of the mining process because acid mine water can cause a decrease in the quality of surface water and groundwater and have an impact on the survival of humans and biota that live on land and water. The initial characteristics of water using the floating treatment method of wetland, the pH, TSS, Fe, and Mn values ??of ex-mining lake water do not meet the quality standards of the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2021. The ability of water hyacinth plants to increase pH for 25 days is quite good with an initial pH value of 4.13 to 7.34. For 25 days, the TSS parameter of water hyacinth plants is also good at reducing TSS levels with an initial value of 6 mg/L to 3 mg/L, the Fe parameter of water hyacinth plants is also good at reducing iron levels with an initial value of 1.06 mg/L to 0.34 mg/L, while the Mn parameter of water hyacinth plants is quite good at reducing manganese levels with an initial value of 1.13 mg/L to 0.32 mg/L.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has led to significant changes in how people conduct financial transactions, particularly the shift from cash payments to digital methods that are viewed as more efficient, faster, and safer. This study aims to analyze differences in the frequency of using three types of financial transactions cash, e-wallets, and bank transfers in daily life. A quantitative descriptive-comparative approach was applied, involving 47 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability before analysis. Data were examined using the Friedman test to assess differences in usage frequency among the three methods. The findings show a significant difference in frequency, with e-wallets being the most used, followed by bank transfers, and then cash. These results suggest that people now prioritize convenience, speed, and accessibility in financial activities. The implications highlight the need for financial institutions and payment providers to enhance digital security systems and improve service accessibility. Small business operators are encouraged to adapt to changing consumer preferences that increasingly favor digital payments. Furthermore, improving digital financial literacy is essential to support broader financial inclusion. This study also provides recommendations for policymakers to expand access to digital financial services, especially for underserved communities.
