This study addresses the issue of suboptimal student academic performance, which is frequently linked to the selection of instructional strategies that do not actively engage learners. Learning outcomes represent a multidimensional construct involving knowledge acquisition, attitude development, and skill formation. Therefore, the application of an appropriate learning model is essential to support meaningful learning experiences. This research aims to investigate the impact of implementing a Problem Based Learning (PBL) model supported by audio-visual media on students’ academic achievement. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The study involved two groups: an experimental class receiving the PBL intervention and a control class experiencing conventional instruction. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings reveal a statistically significant difference between the two groups, indicated by a significance value below 0.05. This confirms that integrating problem-based strategies with audio-visual support contributes positively to improving students’ learning outcomes. The results highlight the importance of student-centered learning environments in fostering deeper understanding and engagement.

Burnout syndrome is a condition characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of self-efficacy that nurses often experience due to high workloads. One approach that can be taken to reduce the level of burnout syndrome is through mindfulness-based breathing exercises.

This research is based on the reality that classroom management often tests teachers' emotional stability, especially when dealing with highly active students. This study focuses on how teachers use emotional intelligence to control themselves when facing challenging learning situations. The purpose of this study is to describe the forms of emotional regulation carried out by teachers and their influence on the effectiveness of classroom management. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through observations and interviews with teachers. The results show that effective emotional management is carried out through several methods, such as increasing self-awareness to recognize stress triggers, pausing before responding to student behavior, and trying to understand the background of student activity through empathy. Teachers with good emotional intelligence tend to be able to direct student activity into more positive learning participation, rather than responding to it with reactive or authoritarian responses. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening psychological aspects and emotional management skills in teacher professional development programs. Emotional maturity not only helps create a more harmonious classroom atmosphere but also forms the basis for inclusive learning interactions and supports the continuous development of student character.

Facies analysis and thin-section petrography are complementary and essential approaches for determining the lithological characteristics of deep-water deposits. Deep-water sediments are formed by diverse depositional processes such as turbidity currents, debris flows, slumps, and pelagic suspension settling, producing a wide range of lithofacies with distinctive textural, compositional, and sedimentary structural attributes. This literature review synthesizes studies that apply facies analysis and thin-section petrography to characterize deep-water deposits across various basins and geological ages worldwide. Field-based facies analysis emphasizes lithology, sedimentary structures, bed geometry, and vertical–lateral facies relationships to reconstruct depositional environments. In contrast, thin-section petrography provides microscopic insights into mineral composition, grain texture, cement types, porosity, and diagenetic features that are not observable in the field. The integration of these methods, often combined with advanced techniques such as XRD, SEM, and geochemical analyses, has proven effective in distinguishing lithofacies, understanding sedimentary processes, and evaluating reservoir quality. The review highlights that grain size, sorting, cement type, pore-throat size, and diagenetic processes are key controls on lithological characteristics and reservoir potential in deep-water systems. Therefore, the combined application of facies analysis and thin-section petrography provides a comprehensive framework for interpreting deep-water sedimentary systems.

This study discusses the design and simulation of an automatic lighting system based on a photodiode sensor using an Arduino Uno microcontroller as the main controller. The system is designed to detect changes in ambient light intensity and automatically control the lamp without human intervention. The photodiode sensor is used as a light detector that converts light energy into an analog electrical signal, which is then processed by the Arduino to determine bright or dark conditions. The output from the Arduino subsequently controls a relay module that functions as an electronic switch to connect or disconnect the current to the light bulb. The research method employed is an experimental approach, which includes system planning, hardware design, software programming, simulation using Proteus, and system performance testing. The simulation results indicate that the system operates as expected, where the lamp automatically turns on when the light intensity decreases and turns off when the ambient brightness increases. This system is expected to improve electrical energy efficiency and provide ease of operation for lighting control, particularly in public facilitiesand workplace environments.

This study analyzes the performance of three types of controllers—PID, Fuzzy-PID, and Model Predictive Control (MPC)—in maintaining water level stability in a dam system. Proper water level regulation is essential to prevent flooding, ensure adequate water distribution, and maintain the structural safety of the dam. Previous studies have widely implemented PID and Fuzzy-PID controllers; however, MPC offers significant advantages through system prediction and multivariable optimization. This research compares the performance of the three controllers through simulation analysis using a second-order mathematical model. The results indicate that MPC has the potential to deliver a faster settling time and a smaller steady-state error compared to PID and Fuzzy-PID, although it requires higher computational complexity.

This study was conducted at PT. Asmin Bara Bronang, Sepan Uring Village, Kapuas Tengah District, Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, with the aim of analyzing the productivity and influencing factors of the PC 300 excavator in coal getting activities to support the achievement of production targets. The objective of this research is to analyze the actual productivity and the factors affecting it in Sector 7 coal getting operations. The research method used field observation with a quantitative descriptive analysis approach. The results show that the productivity of the PC 300 excavator ranges from 127.12 to 224.29 tons/hour, with an average of 173.98 tons/hour. In several conditions, the productivity is still below the company’s target of 180 tons/hour. The analysis indicates that productivity is influenced by material conditions, particularly the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) value of 47, which reflects relatively harder material with coarser particle size, and a moisture content of 22.71%, causing the material to be sticky and cohesive, thereby affecting the bucket filling process. In addition, operational factors such as bottom loading patterns, limited number of tailgate dump trucks, and suboptimal selection of dump truck types also contribute to productivity performance.  Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the productivity of the PC 300 excavator has not consistently met the company’s target. Therefore, improvement efforts are required, including the implementation of top loading methods, increasing the number of tailgate dump trucks, optimizing the selection of hauling equipment, and controlling material conditions that affect the digging process.

Therefore, respondents are advised to drink aloe vera tea at least once a day as an alternative measure to help control blood glucose levels.

The food and beverage industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly through digital marketing, particularly through the role of influencers in influencing consumer preferences and purchase intentions. Several influencers are no longer merely collaborating with brands, but are also becoming business owners by leveraging their personal branding and follower base. However, when promoting their own products, the effectiveness of these strategies on purchase intentions is not always consistent. This study aims to examine the influence of the Theory of Planned Behaviour on purchase intention and analyse the role of Parasocial Relationship through influencer authenticity and influencer trustworthiness in regional cuisine at RM Padang Payakumbuah. The research uses a quantitative approach with data from 182 respondents in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, analysed using PLS-SEM. The results show that attitude and influencer authenticity do not have a significant effect on purchase intention, while subjective norm and perceived behavioural control have a significant effect. Furthermore, influencer trustworthiness strengthens the relationship between perceived behavioural control and purchase intention. These findings emphasise the importance of social recommendations, ease of purchase access, and building trust towards influencers.

Fertilization serves as a fundamental component of crop cultivation, wherein the application of mineral nutrients is crucial for plant nourishment, facilitating various physiological processes critical for growth and development. The objective of this study is to establish an optimal recommended dosage that enhances cabbage growth and yield. The experimental design employed in this study was a randomized block design with four replications. The treatments consist of seven fertilization levels, as follows: No fertilization with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), or potassium (K) (P0), reference fertilization (P1), 0.5 dose of unbalanced compound fertilizers (P2), 0.75 dose of unbalanced compound fertilizers (P3), 1.0 dose of unbalanced compound fertilizers (P4), 1.25 dose of unbalanced compound fertilizers (P5), and 1.5 dose of unbalanced compound fertilizers (P6). The experiment indicated that the application of unbalanced compound fertilizers enhances cabbage plant growth, as evidenced by increased plant height and leaf number compared to the control treatment. Additionally, fertilization improves yield components relative to untreated plants. The application of 0.5 doses of unbalanced compound fertilizers proves agronomically effective, yielding the highest relative agronomic effectiveness at 169%, meaning a 1.69-fold increase in yield. Economically, the same dosage is also highly beneficial, achieving the highest R/C ratio of 2.35 and generating a profit of Rp. 14,365,150. The study results confirm that unbalanced compound fertilizers were both agronomically effective and economically advantageous. The recommended dosage for cabbage cultivation is 134 kg/ha, applied in two stages: 50% at 1 WAT (weeks after transplanting) and the remaining 50% at 4 WAT.
