room conflicts. This study develops a web-based scheduling information system that centralizes timetable data, detects collisions automatically, and offers alternatives with support from the Google Gemini API. Development followed the Waterfall System Development Life Cycle, comprising requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The application was built with PHP, Laravel, and MySQL. A deterministic rule identifies overlapping allocations involving the same instructor, class, or room on the same day. Gemini is used only to rank and explain feasible candidates; the application revalidates each recommendation, and the Study Program Secretary retains final approval. Black-box testing of ten functions achieved a 100% success rate. Beta testing produced an average score of 89.22% from three experts and 89.79% from two users, with both results classified as Very Good. The findings indicate that the system is highly feasible for integrated course timetable preparation and administration.

an Android-based third-party application paired with a custom keyboard. This workflow caused severe device incompatibility, system crashes, and manual score recapitulation delays lasting up to one week. This research aims to design and develop an integrated web-based examination application utilizing the Django framework under the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model to support Midterm (PTS) and Final (PAS) semester exams. The application features master data management, manual question authoring and bulk imports via Excel, token-protected scheduling, asynchronous AJAX auto-saving on computer-based test (CBT) sheets, live proctoring controls, auto-grading, score visibility authorization (Hide Score), and dynamic class-filtered report exports in Excel and PDF formats. System evaluation was conducted through Alpha testing (White Box and Black Box testing) and Beta testing (ISO/IEC 25010:2011 quality evaluation by system experts and End-User Computing Satisfaction/EUCS by end-users). Alpha testing verified that all 29 independent logic paths in White Box testing executed without branching errors and Black Box testing achieved 100% validity across 13 functional modules. Beta testing with 2 system experts yielded an average score of 98.25% (Very Good), and end-user testing involving 27 respondents achieved an average satisfaction score of 84.75% (Very Good). Thus, the developed system is highly feasible, reliable, and effective for school examination operations.

Abstract:This study examines employees' perceptions of work-life balance implementation in a hybrid work environment, a model that has gained popularity in the post-COVID-19 era. Hybrid work arrangements offer flexibility by allowing…
wing employees to alternate between remote and office-based work, providing opportunities to balance professional and personal responsibilities. However, the blurred boundaries between work and personal life in a hybrid setting can create challenges, such as overworking, interruptions during personal time, and social isolation. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the experiences, challenges, and factors influencing work-life balance in hybrid work environments. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with employees from various sectors. The findings reveal that while hybrid work promotes flexibility and autonomy, it also increases the risk of stress and burnout due to a lack of clear boundaries and insufficient organizational support. Factors such as flexible scheduling, supportive leadership, and access to user-friendly digital tools were identified as enablers of work-life balance. This research highlights the dual impact of hybrid work on work-life balance and emphasizes the need for clear organizational policies, leadership training, and technological support to ensure employee well-being. The findings provide actionable recommendations for organizations to optimize hybrid work practices.

ery of literacy greetings to visitors. In practice, greetings are commonly delivered manually or through conventional bells, leading to inconsistency and dependence on staff availability. This study was conducted at the Amir Machmud Library, Ministry of Home Affairs, Jakarta, Indonesia, aiming to design and evaluate a Python-based scheduled audio alarm system for automated literacy greetings. An applied experimental method was employed, including system design, Python script development, scheduling configuration using Windows Task Scheduler, and direct system testing on a library computer connected to ceiling speakers. The system requires initial execution via Command Prompt (CMD) when the computer is powered on, after which it operates automatically according to predefined schedules. Testing results demonstrate that the system performs scheduled audio playback accurately and operates stably without further manual intervention. The findings indicate that the proposed system provides a practical and efficient solution to enhance service consistency and support a structured and conducive literacy environment in the library.

Abstrak: Perpustakaan tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai pusat informasi, tetapi juga sebagai ruang literasi yang memerlukan suasana layanan yang tertib dan komunikatif. Salah satu bentuk dukungan layanan tersebut adalah penyampaian sapaan literasi kepada pengunjung. Dalam praktiknya, penyampaian sapaan masih dilakukan secara manual atau menggunakan bel konvensional sehingga kurang konsisten dan bergantung pada petugas. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Perpustakaan Amir Machmud, Kementerian Dalam Negeri, Jakarta, Indonesia, dengan tujuan merancang dan menguji sistem alarm audio terjadwal berbasis Python sebagai media penyampaian sapaan literasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental terapan melalui tahapan perancangan sistem, pengembangan skrip Python, konfigurasi penjadwalan menggunakan Windows Task Scheduler, serta pengujian langsung pada komputer perpustakaan yang terhubung dengan speaker plafon. Sistem bekerja dengan mekanisme inisialisasi awal melalui Command Prompt (CMD) saat komputer dinyalakan, kemudian selanjutnya berjalan otomatis sesuai jadwal yang telah ditentukan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem mampu memutar audio secara konsisten dan stabil pada waktu yang telah diatur tanpa intervensi lanjutan dari petugas. Dengan demikian, sistem ini dapat menjadi solusi sederhana dan efisien untuk mendukung terciptanya suasana literasi yang lebih terstruktur dan kondusif di lingkungan perpustakaan.
