Rapid development and population growth in urban areas have caused various problems, one of which is the decreasing availability of clean water. This has an impact on the agricultural and fisheries sectors which are highly dependent on good water quality. As an alternative to overcome this problem, the aquaponic system offers a solution by combining fish and plant cultivation in one efficient water recirculation system. However, the quality and productivity of the aquaponic system are highly dependent on good management, which requires proper monitoring and control of environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, humidity, and water quality. This study aims to design and build a Node-RED-based aquaponic monitoring and control system. This system uses various sensors to monitor environmental conditions and provide automatic control of parameters that affect plant and fish growth. By using Node-RED as a platform for sensor and control integration, this system is expected to provide an efficient and affordable solution to increase the productivity of the aquaponic system. The results of the study show that the designed tool can carry out effective monitoring and control of parameters that affect the aquaponic system, and can be accessed in real-time to facilitate system management and supervision.

The study examines the impact of class culture on Generation Z's apparel purchasing behavior in Guangzhou, focusing on the influence of social media. It highlights how social media platforms are crucial in allowing Generation Z to express their identities and aspirations, revealing the complex relationship between class, status, and consumer habits.

The results of the activity showed an increase in students' interest in learning, cognitive abilities, and fine motor skills. Flashcards have proven to be effective as interactive and interesting visual learning media for children. This activity also encourages the formation of religious character from an early age and strengthens the relationship between students and teachers. This study recommends the use of flashcard media as a relevant and educational learning strategy in introducing the hijaiyah letters to children.

This literature review examines the effectiveness of Brain Gym as an intervention to improve children's learning concentration. Brain Gym is a series of physical movements developed to enhance brain function. Several studies in the last decade have suggested that Brain Gym activities can positively influence children's attention span and cognitive performance, particularly in educational settings. Through a review of 20 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2024, this study finds consistent evidence of improved focus and academic engagement among children who participated in regular Brain Gym exercises. The findings suggest that Brain Gym can serve as a complementary approach to conventional teaching strategies, especially for elementary-level learners. Implications for educators and future research are discussed.

Pemupukan merupakan kegiatan penting dalam budidaya pertanian yang memiliki tujuan untuk meningkatkan produksi tanaman melalui penyediaan unsur hara yang diperlukan.  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji efektivitas pupuk majemuk tinggi kalium terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman wortel serta efektivitas agronominya.  Perlakuan disusun dalam 7 taraf pemupukan yaitu : tanpa pupuk (P0), pemupukan standar pembanding (P1), 0.5 dosis pupuk majemuk tinggi kalium (P2), 0.75 dosis
pupuk majemuk tinggi kalium (P3), 1 dosis pupuk majemuk tinggi kalium (P4), 1.25 dosis pupuk majemuk tinggi kalium (P5), 1.5
dosis pupuk majemuk tinggi kalium (P6). Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa pemberian 1.0 dosis pupuk majemuk tinggi kaliummenghasilkan pertumbuhan tanaman (tinggi tanaman dan jumlah daun), komponen hasil dan hasil tanaman wortel (panjang umbi, diameter umbi, hasil/tanaman, hasil/petak, dan hasil/ha) tertinggi dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya dan nyata lebih baik dibandingkan dengan perlakuan kontrol.  Pupuk  majemuk tinggi kalium lulus uji efektivitas lapangan. Dosis yang direkomendasikan untuk tanaman wortel adalah 187 kg/ha yang  diaplikasikan 2 kali, 50% dosis pada 1 minggu setelah tanam (MST) dan sisanya diaplikasikan pada 4 MST.

Profitability is a key indicator in assessing the financial performance and operational sustainability of a bank. However, during the 2021-2023 period, the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia faced various challenges, especially regarding operational efficiency and financing management. This challenge can be seen from the unstable value of the Net Operating Margin (NOM), the high ratio of Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), and the imbalance in the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR). This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data from the annual financial statements of Islamic Commercial Banks for the 2021-2023 period which are accessed through the OJK official website. The object of research includes all Islamic Commercial Banks operating during this period, with a sample of 10 banks selected through purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 30.0 in 2024 with descriptive statistical analysis techniques, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination (R²) tests. The results of this study indicate that partially the Net Operating Margin (NOM) variable has a significant effect on Profitability (ROA). While the variable Operating Cost of Operating Income (BOPO) and Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) has no effect on Profitability (ROA).

Arya Global Dinamika adalah perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang manufaktur yang dimana barang produksinya melibatkan penggunaan mesin bubut CNC (Computer Numeric Control). Kekasaran permukaan merupakan indikator penting dalam menilai kualitas hasil pembubutan pada mesin CNC. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh variasi kecepatan putar spindle terhadap kekasaran permukaan pada baja karbon rendah S45C. Pengujian ini dilakukan pada pembubutan rata dengan kecepatan putar 600 rpm, 800 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm dan 1500 rpm, kecepatan pemakanan 0,5 mm/rev. Hasil ini menunjukkan kekasaran permukaan menurun secara signifikan seiring peningkatan kecepatan dari 600 rpm hingga 1000 rpm, dari 3,085 µm menjadi 1,049 µm. Namun, pada kecepatan 1200 rpm hingga 1500 rpm kekasaran meningkat kembali menjadi 1,718 µm hingga 2,197 µm. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya kecepatan optimum, dimana kecepatan berlebih justru menurunkan kualitas akibat getaran dan panas berlebih. Dengan demikian, kecepatan putar berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kekasaran, namun perlu dikendalikan untuk hasil maksimal.
