Abstract

Improving the quality of education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah depends heavily on the professional competence of teachers who teach at this level. This article aims to examine the role of teachers' professional competencies in improving the quality of education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah through a comprehensive literature review. The research analyzes various aspects of professional competence, including pedagogical understanding, mastery of materials, classroom management skills and adaptability to curriculum changes and educational technology. The results showed that strong professional competencies contribute significantly to the effectiveness of teaching and learning and create a conducive learning environment for students. In addition, it was found that continuous training and development programs are essential in strengthening teachers' competencies, which in turn improves the quality of education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. This article recommends increased support for teachers' professional competence development as a key strategy to achieve higher education standards in madrasahs.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between Japan's work culture and the mental health of its workers, focusing on stress, anxiety, and depression caused by long working hours and high productivity demands. Japan’s work culture, which emphasizes loyalty to the company and endurance, has contributed to a significant rise in mental health issues. Despite efforts by the government and companies to reduce overtime and provide mental health support, the policies implemented so far have proven insufficient in addressing the root causes of workplace stress. This research incorporates in-depth interviews, surveys, and case studies from workers across both private and public sectors. The findings indicate a strong correlation between long working hours and elevated stress levels, with workers in the private sector, younger employees, and women experiencing higher levels of anxiety and stress. Policies like flexible work hours, mental health programs, and reduced overtime showed positive impacts on well-being, but their inconsistent implementation limits their effectiveness. The study concludes that policies must go beyond reducing working hours and incorporate structural changes in workplace culture. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of these reforms, explore sector-specific mental health needs, and consider gendered aspects of work-related stress.

Abstract

Surface roughness is a critical quality indicator in the CNC milling process, directly influencing the functional performance, fatigue life, and aesthetic quality of machined components. The rapid development of advanced materials and high-precision manufacturing has intensified the need to understand and optimize machining parameters to achieve superior surface integrity. This study aims to systematically analyze the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness in CNC milling by synthesizing and critically discussing findings from recent experimental and analytical studies. A comprehensive literature-based research method was employed, involving peer-reviewed journal articles indexed internationally and nationally, focusing on milling operations across metallic, composite, polymeric, and wood-based materials. The analysis reveals that feed rate consistently emerges as the most influential parameter affecting surface roughness, followed by cutting speed and depth of cut, although their relative significance varies depending on material properties, tool geometry, lubrication conditions, and machining strategies. Advanced approaches such as Taguchi methods, response surface methodology, and machine learning-based models demonstrate substantial potential in predicting and minimizing surface roughness. The findings confirm that optimal selection and control of cutting parameters can significantly enhance surface quality and machining efficiency. This article contributes a consolidated scientific perspective that can serve as a reference for researchers and practitioners in optimizing CNC milling processes.

Abstract

Radar is a crucial component of the Air Traffic Services system, supporting Air Traffic Controllers in monitoring aircraft movements and maintaining flight safety. At Airnav Indonesia Makassar Air Traffic Service Centre (MATSC) Branch, the radar disturbance recording process is still done manually, potentially leading to recording errors, reporting delays, and inefficiencies in technical evaluation. This study aims to develop a web-based radar disturbance monitoring and analysis system integrated with TopSky ATS that automatically detects, records, and visualises radar disturbances. The system is designed to recognise changes in radar status, calculate failure duration, record the number of disturbance events, and present this information in tables and dashboards in real time. Radar log data is obtained from the Control Work Position (CWP37) device via the TopSky Event Log, then parsed using the ASTERIX protocol categories 34 and 48, and stored in a MySQL database. The system was developed using the Waterfall model, while system evaluation was conducted through black-box testing and User Acceptance Testing. The results show that the system can accurately detect and display radar disturbance information in real time. The UAT, involving 10 technicians, demonstrated a user acceptance rate of 93.2%, categorised as very good. These findings demonstrate that the developed system can improve efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness in radar monitoring and support data-driven technical evaluations in air traffic services operations.
