Early Childhood Education (PAUD) plays a fundamental role in shaping children's character, moral values, and intellectual potential from an early age. However, many PAUD institutions in Indonesia still face serious challenges in management, where attention is focused more on operational sustainability than on improving educational quality. This study aims to describe the actual condition of PAUD institutions, analyze the causes of weak management, and identify the impact of operational orientation on educational quality. The method used is a literature study through analysis of various sources such as books, scientific journals, research reports, and government policies related to PAUD implementation. The results of the study indicate that weak management is caused by limited human resources, low managerial competence, minimal funding, weak planning, and a lack of supervision and community support. The impact is seen in the decline in educational quality and low public trust in PAUD institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen quality-based management that emphasizes improving educator competence, community involvement, effective management of infrastructure, utilization of educational technology, and implementation of continuous evaluation. Professional and adaptive PAUD management is key to realizing superior, high-quality institutions that are relevant to the developmental needs of early childhood in the modern era.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the STEM approach and the scientific approach in learning Trigonometry in terms of students’ mathematical problem-solving ability and self-efficacy. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent comparison group design. The study population consisted of all Grade X MIPA students at MA Al-Ma’had An-Nur in the 2023/2024 academic year, with the sample taken from classes X MIPA 1 and X MIPA 2. Data collection instruments included pre-test and post-test assessments of mathematical problem-solving ability and a student self-efficacy questionnaire. Effectiveness criteria were based on post-test averages exceeding 75 for problem-solving ability and self-efficacy scores above 72, as well as improvements from pre-test results. Data were analyzed using the t-test at a 5% significance level to determine learning effectiveness in both groups. Differences in students’ initial conditions and treatment effects were examined using Hotelling’s T² and the N-Gain score test. An independent-sample t-test of N-Gain was used to compare the superiority between the two approaches. The results indicated that both the STEM and scientific approaches were effective in improving students’ mathematical problem-solving ability and self-efficacy. The STEM approach significantly influenced both variables and was superior in enhancing problem-solving ability, although not superior in improving students’ self-efficacy.

Power transformer theft, a pervasive issue disrupting critical infrastructure, necessitates the development of cost-effective and energy-autonomous security solutions. This paper presents the design and implementation of a detection-focused anti-theft framework that integrates a Raspberry Pi Zero W, camera module, and passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors powered by a solar system for continuous monitoring. The system is designed for remote, off-grid deployment, utilizing a headless Raspberry Pi powered by a 5V solar panel and power bank to ensure energy autonomy. Upon motion detection, captured images are processed on the edge device using OpenCV’s Haar Cascade classifier, optimized for upper-body detection to minimize false positives and verify human presence. Captured images are processed locally on the edge device using OpenCV’s Haar Cascade classifier to confirm human presence before an alert is sent to the mobile application, emphasizing real-time operation and low latency. Once an intrusion is confirmed, the images are saved locally and uploaded via the Secure File Transfer Protocol to a custom-developed Android application. The app provides a dedicated remote monitoring interface, enabling secure file transfer and system access, while providing users with immediate notifications and image management capabilities. The system emphasizes low power consumption, real-time operation, and low deployment cost. Tests over 200 triggered events under varied environmental conditions achieved 90% detection accuracy with an average latency of 4.5 s. Solar autonomy was maintained for approximately 24 h under normal operation. It is concluded that the integration of solar power, edge computing of images, and mobile monitoring provides a feasible, scalable, and financially viable framework for securing transformers, especially in resource-constrained environments.

Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain in children and is considered a surgical emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and management to prevent serious complications. Diagnosing appendicitis in children is often challenging because the symptoms are non-specific, and the child's ability to articulate complaints is limited. This case report discusses a 6-year-and-9-month-old boy who presented with a chief complaint of lower right abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever. Based on the results of the anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting investigations in the form of laboratory tests and abdominal ultrasound (USG), a diagnosis of acute appendicitis was established. The patient then underwent an appendectomy with good recovery and no complications. This case emphasizes the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation and the use of non-invasive supporting examinations such as ultrasound in establishing the diagnosis of appendicitis in children. It highlights the critical role of timely diagnosis and intervention, which can lead to favorable outcomes and prevent the risk of perforation or other serious complications. Early recognition and appropriate surgical decision-making are key to improving patient prognosis.

Open fractures are serious orthopedic injuries with a high risk of infection and soft tissue complications. A 20-year-old male patient presented to the Emergency Department with severe pain in his left leg and wrist, accompanied by a laceration on his face, following a traffic accident. Physical examination revealed deformity and an open wound on the left leg, along with severe swelling and tenderness. Radiographic results showed an open fracture of the proximal third of the left tibia and fibula, an open fracture of the left pedal metatarsal, a closed fracture of the distal phalanx of the third digit of the left foot, and a closed fracture of the distal third of the left radius with distal radioulnar joint dislocation. Based on the Gustilo–Anderson classification, the case was categorized as type IIIB. The patient received initial management including debridement, broad-spectrum antibiotics, analgesics, and splinting. Surgical intervention was performed in stages, comprising Open Reduction External Fixation (OREF) for the tibia–fibula and left foot, followed by Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) for the distal left radius. Postoperative evaluation showed clinical improvement with reduced pain, decreased edema, and improved extremity function. This case emphasizes the importance of rapid and appropriate management of multiple open fractures to prevent infection, maintain bone stability, and accelerate the healing process.

Here, it is examined how language is employed as a weapon on the internet by means of the illocutionary acts in Bhad Bhabie's 2023 diss track "Ms. Whitman." According to J.L. Austin's and John Searle's Speech Act Theory, the paper categorizes the lyrics of the song into the various kinds of illocutionary acts-assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives to determine how word aggression is an instrument of cyberbullying. Through qualitative text analysis, the study reveals expressive and assertive acts most prominent in the lyrics to disseminate defamatory claims, insults, and emotional harm against the object of attack Alabama Barker. Commissive and directive acts, on the other hand, serve to threaten, command, and dominate. The analysis shows how these speech acts collectively construct a model of systematic online verbal attack under the guise of musical performance. The findings show how music culture will tend to normalize aggression, make boundaries between entertainment and harassment opaque, and place audiences' understanding of digital communication ethics. The conclusion synthesizes the recommendation of media education as a means to enable listeners to critically understand the linguistic power of such content.     

This study delves into the linguistic and ideological dimensions of cyberbullying discourse directed at TikTok creator Putri Padang within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). In Indonesia’s digital landscape, TikTok has become one of the prominent platform for self-expression and cultural performance, yet it also serves as a site for public shaming and moral policing. Drawing on Fairclough’s (1995) three-dimensional model, this qualitative research analyzes fifty hate comments collected from several TikTok videos featuring Putri Padang to uncover how language reproduces power relations and cultural ideologies. The findings reveal that hate comments are not random acts of aggression but structured discursive practices characterized by repetition, labeling, and moral judgment. Linguistic strategies such as mockery, objectification, and intertextual humor—exemplified by terms like “muka kotak” and “Adudu”—function as mechanisms of symbolic domination, reinforcing gendered and regional hierarchies. Moreover, the comments often invoke patriarchal values and cultural authenticity to moral criticism, positioning the target as a violator of feminine and cultural norms. The research contributes to cyber-discourse studies by extending into multimodal contexts and emphasizing the need for culturally grounded approaches to online gender-based violence.

This study aims to analyze the marketing strategy implemented by the Ngurah Rai Taxi Transportation Cooperative in responding to competition in the transportation industry in the digital era. Unlike application-based transportation companies, Ngurah Rai Taxi is a local transportation service provider that does not use a booking application, but instead relies on direct marketing activities at Ngurah Rai International Airport and the use of social media as a marketing communication tool. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The research informants consist of an operational manager, field staff, a social media administrator, and taxi drivers. The findings indicate that the marketing strategy of Ngurah Rai Taxi emphasizes personal interaction, trust, and its image as an official airport taxi. Analysis using the AIDA model shows that consumer attention and interest are built through physical presence in the airport arrival area and direct communication, while desire and action are influenced by factors such as safety, fare certainty, and service comfort. This study confirms that direct service-based marketing strategies remain relevant and competitive within the context of Bali’s tourism market.

This study aims to examine the contribution of educational psychology in the context of Christian education, particularly for educators, school principals, Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, elders, and church servants. This theoretical study shows that educational psychology helps in understanding the characteristics of learners, optimizing teaching methods, building effective teacher-student relationships, and enhancing motivation and involvement in the learning and preaching process. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through a review of books, literature, journals, notes, and relevant reports. Educational psychology plays a significant role for all those involved in Christian education and ministry. CRE teachers and Sunday school teachers have a crucial role in instilling faith values in the younger generation by understanding the learning needs of children according to their cognitive and spiritual development stages. This enables them to deliver God's word in an engaging and meaningful way. Meanwhile, pastors, elders, and church servants require an understanding of educational psychology to carry out more wise pastoral ministry. Psychological understanding helps them provide spiritual guidance, counseling, and support for members who are struggling. Educational psychology also equips church servants to lead with empathy, listen with their hearts, and guide the congregation towards true spiritual restoration. The integration of educational psychology with Christian faith significantly impacts the improvement of learning and church ministry, producing individuals who are intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually balanced.

This article discusses the importance of pluralism and multiculturalism in building a peaceful and harmonious society amid the cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity in Indonesia. Pluralism emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and valuing differences, while multiculturalism asserts that every culture has an equal status and deserves appreciation. These two concepts play a strategic role in strengthening national unity, preventing social conflicts, and fostering tolerance between religious groups and cultural communities in Indonesia. In the context of the existing diversity, the implementation of pluralism and multiculturalism not only strengthens the unity of the nation but also creates an inclusive and just society. Education that integrates these values is key in shaping a generation that appreciates differences and upholds harmony. This article uses a theoretical approach and social analysis to emphasize that pluralism and multiculturalism are the main foundations for the realization of a civilized society that respects differences and lives in unity. Therefore, these values need to be applied in every aspect of social life, education, and public policy.

This study explores the dissemination of Sufi teachings through the TikTok account @Al.Amiin.id, highlighting how visual aesthetics, symbolism, and narrative techniques play a role in conveying spiritual messages to young audiences in the digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a critical case study strategy, this research analyses how elements such as colour, light, music, and spiritual metaphors are combined with reflective emotional narratives to preserve the depth of Sufi teachings. Drawing on Stig Hjarvard’s perspective on the mediatization of Religion, the study examines how social media not only functions as a channel for message dissemination but also reshapes religious practices and experiences. The findings reveal that @Al.Amiin.id successfully utilises the logic of digital media—such as short duration, visual aesthetics, algorithms, and trends—as instruments to present Sufism in the form of personal and easily comprehensible micro-narratives. This strategy demonstrates that Sufi preaching undergoes a process of mediatization, in which spiritual values are not merely transmitted but also reconstructed to align with the consumption patterns and cultural sensibilities of digital generations. The study further emphasises that despite the risks of commodification and simplification, Sufi preaching on social media can still preserve its spiritual depth through adaptive approaches. This research contributes to the study of how religious practices are transformed by digital media, offering a model of Sufi preaching that is communicative, inclusive, and relevant in the era of algorithms.
