This research aims to develop a Task Management Application to assist lecturers in managing and monitoring student assignments. Currently, communication and coordination for assignments are conducted through platforms like WhatsApp, Google Meet, and Google Classroom, leading to challenges in task monitoring, execution, file storage, communication, and task management. These issues include ineffective group chats and a lack of information on ongoing or upcoming tasks. Using the Waterfall model methodology, the research focuses on creating an application that addresses these problems by providing task monitoring, a forum for student-lecturer communication, file storage, and a time schedule feature for project completion. The application is designed to facilitate better task management and improve the learning process for both lecturers and students.

Early marriage and pregnancy outside of marriage among adolescents have become increasingly complex and pressing social problems in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the factors that drive early marriage and out-of-wedlock pregnancy among adolescents and understand the social impacts on the individuals involved, their families and communities. This study aims to identify and analyze the main causal factors of early marriage and pregnancy outside marriage among adolescents in Indonesia and explore their social impacts. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through news analysis, journals and relevant literature studies. The results showed that some of the main causal factors of this phenomenon include a lack of sexual education, the influence of social and cultural norms, the role of social media, and family economic factors.  In addition, this phenomenon has the potential to hamper education and worsen the economic condition of families, thus risking adding to the social burden of society in the long run. This study recommends increased reproductive health education, social media monitoring, active roles of parents and communities in providing adolescents with a correct understanding of the risks and consequences of early marriage and out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and stricter policies on underage marriage as a prevention effort.

The Village Fund Cash Assistance Program (BLT-DD) is a government effort to provide support to rural communities affected by the economic crisis, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Sidomukti Village, the implementation of BLT-DD has been running well, but there are still obstacles in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in the beneficiary selection process. This research aims to design and build a website-based Decision Support System (SPK) using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method that can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of determining prospective BLT-DD recipients. Data collection methods include interviews and document studies, and use a quantitative descriptive approach to analyze data. The results showed that the implementation of a web-based system can speed up the selection process, reduce the potential for errors, and increase the transparency of information to the community, so that it can help village officials in managing social assistance more effectively, ensuring that assistance is right on target, and increasing community satisfaction with the BLT-DD program.

Digitalization of public services is being implemented across Indonesian government agencies, including village governments. This study aims to describe the forms of public service digitization and the factors influencing its implementation in village governments. Using a qualitative literature study method, secondary data from research journal articles were analyzed through data selection, organization, interpretation, and conclusion. The findings reveal that village government digitization involves websites and applications. Key influencing factors include E-Government implementation, conventional management, disorganized administration, service improvement, government policies, and the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study investigates the development of network simulation applications using visual programming languages, aiming to map current trends, tool preferences, and key implementation challenges in educational and experimental contexts. Through a structured literature review of 28 academic sources, the research identifies the increasing adoption of visual-based interfaces, such as VB.NET, C# WinForms, and tools like Cisco Packet Tracer, as essential platforms to support interactive learning in computer networking. Visual simulation environments are found to enhance conceptual understanding, reduce cognitive load, and improve student engagement, particularly among non-technical users. Despite these advantages, the study reveals several limitations inherent in visual simulation tools. These include lack of modularity, limited protocol validation, and constrained interoperability across different vendors and platforms. Moreover, most existing tools operate in standalone environments and have not yet adapted to cloud-based or scalable architecture. The findings suggest a pressing need for hybrid simulation models that combine the intuitive user experience of GUI-based applications with the technical depth and flexibility of CLI or open API backends. This research contributes a systematic synthesis of the strengths and gaps within the current ecosystem of visual network simulators. It provides practical recommendations for educators, developers, and researchers aiming to build more adaptive, extensible, and context-aware simulation environments that align with modern educational and technological needs.
