The rapid advancement of technology has significantly transformed daily human life, particularly through the widespread use of smartphones to simplify various tasks. In response to this technological shift, Kost XYZ, a women’s boarding house located in Central Jakarta, aims to enhance its operational efficiency. The boarding house faces challenges such as varying room facilities, inconsistent rental rates, non-permanent tenants, and manual record-keeping, all of which frequently result in delayed payments. To address these issues, this study proposes the development of an Android-based financial management information system using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology. The system was built using Kotlin programming language via Android Studio and integrated with Firebase for data storage. Its design provides separate interfaces for owners and tenants: the owner system focuses on boarding house operations, while the tenant system facilitates payment management. Usability testing was conducted using five metrics—learnability, efficiency, memorability, error rate, and satisfaction—with direct user involvement. The results indicate that the system is feasible and performs well across all usability aspects. A satisfaction score of 73.5 places the system in the “good” category, demonstrating user acceptance and the system’s effectiveness in supporting real-time operational and financial monitoring.

This essay explores James Joyce's engagement with Biblical parables in Dubliners . Like parables, Joyce's stories employ realistic situations, vivid imagery, and puzzling endings to prompt readers into moral reflection. Joyce's stories also draw upon specific Biblical parables. In \"The Boarding House,\" Joyce inverts the Parable of the Ten Virgins to illuminate the disconnect between love and duty in Irish society. In \"A Painful Case,\" he draws upon the Parable of the Great Banquet to highlight the implications of individual and societal inhospitality. Examining Joyce's parabolic method adds to the growing conversation about Joyce's sustained interest in Scripture and Christian thought.

The development of the University of Diponegoro as one of the biggest universities in Indonesia is signed by the increasing of the students' number. The increasing of this students' number has also been followed by the rising of students' rooms demand and all of students' facilities. These students resided in the settled settlement that inhabited by the Tembalang's local community. As a consequence, their existence influences the local community and shapes the neighbourhood differently. Then, it causes the studentification process. Studentification is a process which presence of the students replaces the local community and influences the neighbourhood both in physical and social economic aspect. The identification of studentification in Tembalang was conductedby in-depth interview and field observation. Analysis showed that studentification in Tembalang included as the third wave studentification that signed by a great students' movement along with campus centralization in Tembalang and many private landlords that invested in boarding house business. Competition to provide the boarding house between the local community, private investors (individual), students'flat, and a private students' apartment made the existence of local community more pressed.

Health is an important requirement in designing a residential building. One of them is a boarding house. Most of the nomad students who came from another city spend their time mostly in their room of boarding house (id: kost). It makes the health quality of boarding house needs to be considered. This study will examine the conditions of boarding houses around the University of Bengkulu in terms of health aspects from the building design. The health quality of a building will be assessed from the location and environment of a boarding house, as well as the design of lighting and ventilation. This study uses a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative. The primary data collection was carried out by online questionnaire survey to UNIB students who live by renting boarding rooms around the campus. The result is boarding houses around the University of Bengkulu are in good condition. But some problems of natural light are found in the glare, and in some cases, rooms do not get natural lighting. Ventilation is the biggest problem for students’ showed by the opening position that only on one side, no opening in the bathroom, which does not meet the rules. The environment students’ boarding houses around the University of Bengkulu, indicated by clean environmental conditions, good water quality, and not noisy. But, some boarding houses are still lacking in greeneries. Results of this study are expected to contribute to improving the environmental health quality around the University of Bengkulu by the buildings and other built environment design.

This descriptive study explored and analyzed the quality living conditions and the boarding preferences of UM college students who were renting in temporary shelters in Davao City, Philippines at the time of the investigation. Through a random sampling method, 300 students from ten colleges participated in the survey using validated questionnaires. Informal interviews were also conducted to 20 randomly selected boarding house operators for the triangulation of results. This mixed methods research obtained the initial interrelated ideas in the survey and informal interviews by means of open coding and exploratory analysis. Aside from accessible means of transportation, the student-participants favored affordable rental fees, organized house rules, provision of basic amenities and proper waste management. And on top of all these basic services, they desired a friendly atmosphere while they live, study and / or work in the land of promise, the metropolitan Davao. In general, UM college boarders prefer practicality, safety and security in a supportive environment. It was discovered likewise that some managers were non-compliant of specific boarding house ordinances such as the provision of safe and secure boarding house boarding house/dormitories. In compliance with the basic ordinances on boarding hose operations, it is hereby recommended that owners be closely monitored and evaluated based on their planning and implementation of the rules.

Abstract Introduction Boarding students face unique challenges when entering school including separation from family and adapting to a novel environment. A particular challenge is sleep. The aim of this study was to examine the sleep and psychological wellbeing of boarding student versus day-student peers. Methods 59 boarding students and 250 day-students (one Adelaide school Years 10-12) completed the School Sleep Habits Survey, Depression-Anxiety-Stress-Scale-21, and Flourishing Scale. Boarding students additionally completed the Utrecht Homesickness Scale and a further 13 participated in a focus group examining the experiences of sleeping in a boarding house. Results Boarding compared to day-students reported 40 minutes more sleep per school night (p < .001), with earlier sleep onset (p = .026) and later wake up (p = .008) times. No significant differences in psychological variables were observed between groups. For both groups, hierarchical regression revealed longer sleep predicted better psychological wellbeing. In boarding students, homesickness-loneliness and homesickness-ruminations predicted psychological wellbeing. Thematic analysis of boarding students’ focus group responses revealed that night-time routine, and restricting technology use at night facilitated sleep. Conclusion Surprisingly boarding students reported better sleep than day-students—a finding attributable to boarding students having structured night-time routines and the boarding house restrictions on technology use at night. Nonetheless, in boarding students poor sleep and homesickness were predictive of worse psychological wellbeing. This study highlights the importance of strategies which promote sleep and minimise homesickness in boarding school students, but also the importance of routine and restricting technology at bedtime for adolescent sleep in general.

Boarding school has been a feature of education systems for centuries. Minimal large-scale quantitative data have been collected to examine its association with important educational and other outcomes. The present study represents one of the largest studies into boarding school conducted to date. It investigates boarding school and students' motivation, engagement, and psychological well-being (e.g., life satisfaction, interpersonal relationships)—controlling for sociodemographic, achievement, personality, and school covariates. The main sample comprised 5,276 high school students (28% boarding students; 72% day students) from 12 high schools in Australia. A subsample of 2,002 students (30% boarding students; 70% day students) had pretest data, enabling analyses of gains or declines in outcomes across the school year. Results indicated predominant parity between boarding and day students on most outcome factors, some modest positive results favoring boarding students, and no notable differences in gains or declines on outcomes between boarders and day students over the course of one academic year. Implications for researchers, the boarding sector, parents, and students are discussed.

An exception is the planned renovation of the historic Woodruff House at 1017 E. Eighth St. Partners Steve Gardner and Gabe Holmstrom began working on the project even before they invested $115,000 to purchase the antebellum house and adjoining land 11 months ago. The first step was forming plans that met the approval of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program and the Department of the Interior and ensured the project would qualify for state and federal tax credits. Located in a designated opportunity zone, the project also qualifies for other tax credits, accelerated depreciation and no capital gains if the property is held for 10 years before selling.

In 1826, a perplexing sex scandal engulfed the career of the rising Irish-American mathematician Michael O'Shannessy, a professor at the Albany Academy, a prestigious college-preparatory school in Albany NY. There is much that many do not know about O'Shannessy and probably never will. They do know that the floodwaters that immersed the mathematician lifted the early careers of two figures who would be remembered: the scientist Joseph Henry and the engineer William H. Sidell. They know that O'Shannessy was educated in Ireland, and was hired as a tutor at the Albany Academy in 1817, where he was promoted to the rank of professor two years later. They do not know how old he was at the time; likely, he was in his early twenties. Founded in 1815, the Albany Academy was a private school for the sons of the city's elite and expanding merchant class.
