Language is the primary means of communication in human life. The absorption of English into Indonesian among university students is an increasingly prominent phenomenon with the development of globalization and digital technology. This study aims to analyze the impact of this absorption on the emergence of new words or terms used by students in academic contexts and everyday communication. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. This approach was chosen because this study aims to describe and analyze linguistic phenomena and their impact on the Indonesian language. The results of the analysis show that the absorption of English has given rise to various new terms that are practical, concise, and contextual, such as deadline, submit, healing, burnout, as well as mixed forms with Indonesian affixes such as nge-print and di-upload. These terms facilitate communication and enrich students' linguistic expression. However, on the other hand, the use of these new terms has the potential to displace the use of standard Indonesian equivalents. Thus, the absorption of English has a dual impact: enriching vocabulary through the formation of new terms while also requiring a wise attitude to maintain the existence of the Indonesian language.  

This study aims to explore the influence of formal language skills on the use of slang among first-semester students in the English Language and Literature Education Program at Muhammadiyah University Maumere. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with subjects consisting of first-year students. Information was collected through observation, questionnaire distribution, and brief interviews about daily language use habits and academic contexts. The findings of this study indicate that the majority of students actively use slang when interacting informally, especially when communicating with peers and on social media platforms. The use of slang serves as a way to express identity, build social solidarity, and facilitate social adjustment. However, deficiencies in formal language skills make it difficult for some students to recognize the appropriate use of language in context, so that elements of slang often creep into academic situations, such as in class discussions and assignment writing. This study concludes that formal language skills have an impact on the use of slang. Students with high formal language skills tend to be better at switching between language varieties according to context, while those with low formal skills are at greater risk of mixing them up.

This study examines the construction of heroism in the character of Joshua Taylor in The Creator (2023) using Christopher Vogler’s Hero’s Journey framework. In modern cinema, heroism is no longer limited to physical strength or traditional bravery but is often defined through moral struggle, emotional conflict, and ethical decisions in complex situations. Joshua represents a modern hero whose journey unfolds amid a global conflict between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). This research applies a qualitative descriptive method with a structural mapping technique to analyze Joshua’s narrative progression across the stages of Vogler’s Hero’s Journey. The findings show that Joshua’s heroism is constructed through moral transformation, sacrifice, and his shift from a disillusioned soldier to a protector figure who prioritizes life and empathy over ideology. His journey highlights that modern heroism is rooted in ethical awareness and personal redemption rather than dominance or power, it reflects cinematic developments in depicting heroism that are more relevant to today's social and technological context.

Involving supervisors, production leaders, and operators, the study aimed to assess the impact of 5S on production processes. The results showed that the implementation of 5S successfully created a more organized, cleaner, and standardized work environment. These improvements led to a reduction in potential work errors, increased process efficiency, and the establishment of an employee disciplinary culture. Employees became more aware of maintaining cleanliness and orderliness, which contributed to a smoother workflow and better quality control. The findings align with theories of quality management, organizational behavior, and operations management, demonstrating the benefits of 5S in enhancing operational effectiveness. This study confirms that integrating the 5S method into industrial practices, particularly during internships, is an effective strategy to encourage continuous improvement and enhance production quality in the industry.

MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) is a sub-sector with high economic value and a unique capacity to play a diplomatic role through interaction between international actors. At the regional level, the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit (Summit) has been used by Indonesia not only for economic purposes, but also as an arena for public diplomacy and soft power development. This article examines how the ASEAN Summit (especially the series of ASEAN 2023 activities spread across several locations including Labuan Bajo, Yogyakarta, and Jakarta) shows the function of MICE as a soft power instrument in Indonesian tourism diplomacy. By combining a literature review on soft power and tourism diplomacy, an analysis of official documents, MICE industry reports, and a case study of the 2023 ASEAN Summit, this paper identifies the mechanisms of influence, determinants of effectiveness, economic and reputational impact, and policy challenges. The results show that the ASEAN Summit provides a great opportunity for nation branding and international public engagement, but its effectiveness depends on policy synergy, MICE infrastructure readiness, image management, and post-event strategies to turn temporary exposure into long-term benefits.

Children with special needs require specialized educational services that accommodate their diverse learning characteristics, and digital-based media offers flexible and adaptive learning opportunities tailored to individual abilities. The digital learning media “Voca Poly” was developed to provide education and practical skills training for blind and physically disabled children, particularly in strengthening knowledge and cooking skills to support independent living. This community service program was implemented through three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage involved needs assessment, media design, and coordination with partner institutions. The implementation stage included interactive learning sessions using the Voca Poly educational game, focusing on food security concepts through English vocabulary from planting to food processing. The evaluation stage assessed participants’ understanding, engagement, and skill improvement. The results showed increased knowledge of cooking concepts and improved practical skills among participants. Moreover, the game-based approach successfully fostered enthusiasm, motivation, and active participation among visually impaired and physically disabled children.

This research examines Islamic legal protection for victims of social engineering crimes within the context of cybercrime. Social engineering is a form of digital crime that exploits psychological manipulation and trust to obtain personal data, system access, or financial benefits. Such crimes cause not only material losses but also immaterial harm, including psychological trauma, violations of privacy, dignity, and personal security. However, positive legal frameworks tend to prioritize offender punishment, while victim protection and recovery remain insufficiently addressed. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a normative-juridical research design, complemented by limited empirical insights. Data were collected through library research on Islamic legal sources—namely the Qur’an, Hadith, and fiqh jināyah—alongside statutory regulations on cybercrime and selected interviews with legal scholars and practitioners. The analysis employs a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework, particularly the principles of ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property), ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (protection of dignity), and ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life and psychological security). The findings demonstrate that Islamic law provides a robust normative foundation for protecting victims of social engineering crimes. Such protection extends beyond retributive punishment through ta‘zīr and emphasizes restorative justice by prioritizing victims’ rights restoration, offender accountability, and public welfare. Islamic law is both adaptive and relevant in addressing contemporary cybercrime challenges and may serve as a humanistic, just, and responsive model for victim protection in the digital era.

This is reflected in the ability of employees to provide fast, friendly, and consistent service, especially during busy operating hours. The research findings confirm that job satisfaction has a significant influence on employee performance, which in turn impacts customer satisfaction and business sustainability. Therefore, management needs to maintain and improve factors supporting job satisfaction to maintain service quality and business competitiveness.

This study aims to examine how standard costing can be used as a tool for planning and controlling production costs in salted egg cracker micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs need to manage their production costs effectively to increase their profitability in an era of increasingly fierce business competition. A case study was used to collect data through interviews, observations, and financial document analysis. The study shows that the implementation of standard costing has helped more accurate production cost budget planning. This makes it easier for management to compare standard costs with actual costs, which allows for effective and efficient cost control. Furthermore, the findings indicate that standard costing can serve as a benchmark and evaluation tool to improve operational effectiveness. Furthermore, this study suggests that MSMEs should incorporate a standard costing system into their financial reporting process and educate management and employees about the importance of cost control. Therefore, implementing standard costing can be a long-term strategy to keep the company operational and competitive in an increasingly competitive market.

The selection process for students eligible for the National Selection Based on Achievement (SNBP) requires objective and structured assessment because it involves various academic and non-academic criteria. This study aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the ranking of SNBP eligible students at SMAN 8 Surabaya using the Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method. The ARAS method is used to evaluate student alternatives based on their report card scores for semesters 1-5, academic ability tests (TKA), academic achievements, non-academic achievements, discipline, organizational activity, and attendance through a normalization process to obtain relative Ki values. The results of the study show that the system is capable of producing objective student rankings with relative utility values (Ki) ranging from 95.15 to 89.38, where the highest value indicates the best alternative from all alternatives. The application of ARAS-based DSS can improve the efficiency, transparency, and consistency of the SNBP student selection process.

This research aims to recontextualize the local wisdom embedded in the visual culture of the Muara Jambi Temple through the development of folklore-inspired batik motif designs. As a traditional Indonesian textile craft, batik serves not only functional purposes but alsp embodies profound cultural values and indigenous knowledge systems. Batik as a medium of cultural expression that invites multidimensional interpretaion within both practical and theoretical academic discourses. Its visual strength lies in the richness of colors, ornaments, and symbolic elements, which generate diverse interpretative meanings. These interpretations subsequently shape value systems that function as guiding principles in the everyday lives of Indonesian communities. The research used an experimental design method integrated with computer vision techniques to generate distinctive folklore batik motifs rooted in the cultural heritage of Muara Jambi, Sumatra. The research results are the creation of a Muara Jambi folklore batik motif that represents cultural expression, resilience, and continuity through the preservation of traditional patterns and environmentally conscious practices within the Jambi community. The transformation of motifs derived from artifacts from the Muara Jambi temple complex, serves as a primary source of inspiration for contemporary folklore batik design. The application of computer vision in the batik design process constitutes a form of sustainable digital innovation, facilitating the preservation, reinterpretation, and adaptive transformation of traditional visual heritage.

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia, particularly the Shopee platform, has generated a large volume of user reviews on the Google Play Store, which can be analyzed to understand consumer sentiment. This study aims to compare the performance of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms in binary sentiment classification (positive and negative) on Shopee reviews, as well as to statistically test the significance of their differences using One-Way ANOVA. A total of 400,498 reviews were collected via web scraping, preprocessed through text normalization, tokenization, and Indonesian language stemming, and then feature-extracted using TF-IDF and Count Vectorizer. Evaluation results show that SVM achieved an accuracy of 91.77%, precision of 91.49%, recall of 91.77%, and F1-Score of 91.56%, while RF achieved an accuracy of 90.07%, precision of 91.68%, recall of 90.07%, and F1-Score of 90.55%. ANOVA confirmed that the performance difference between the two algorithms is statistically significant (p-value = 0.0007) with a large effect size (η² = 0.1815). Therefore, SVM is recommended as a more optimal and consistent algorithm for automated sentiment analysis of Indonesian e-commerce reviews, while also providing a replicable methodological framework for similar future research.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Indonesia and globally, necessitating an early screening system that is both accurate and clinically trustworthy. Although XGBoost demonstrates high predictive performance, its black-box nature undermines clinical trust, while low recall risks missed diagnosis an unacceptable consequence in population screening, especially in middle-income countries with limited healthcare resources. This study aims to develop a sensitive, transparent, and implementation-ready heart disease screening framework through the integration of SHAP-based Explainable AI. The CDC's Indicators of Heart Disease dataset (319,795 samples) was processed according to WHO/CDC standards, followed by class imbalance handling, hyperparameter optimization using RandomizedSearchCV, evaluation based on metrics sensitive to minority classes (AUC, recall, F1-score, AUC-PR), and threshold tuning to maximize recall. The baseline model showed a very low recall of 12.18%. After optimization and threshold tuning at 0.10, the model achieved recall >96% (96.79%) with a G-mean of 0.7477, supported by SHAP interpretation stability and the ability to capture non-linear interactions between advanced age (AgeCategory_WHO) and poor general health (GenHealth). SHAP analysis confirmed the alignment of dominant features with medical evidence, and its visualizations provide transparent explanations for healthcare professionals indicating its potential implementation as an interpretable clinical decision support system.

Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the species that is a national superior commodity. The traffic of shrimp between provinces in Indonesia showed a significant increase in the period 2014-2017 with an average growth of 74.48% per year. Things that need to be considered in distribution activities are determining the number of seeds to be transported, providing oxygen in the packaging container, optimizing the use of low temperatures to suppress metabolic activity. This study was conducted with the aim of determining different densities on survival and determining the optimal density for the survival of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in closed transportation for 36 hours. The method in this study used an experimental method with data collection carried out through direct observation. The experimental design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatment combinations. Density consisted of 1500 individuals/2 liters, 2000/2 liters, 2500 individuals/2 liters, 3000/2 liters and 3500 individuals/2 liters. The main parameters observed were survival and the test parameters measured were DO, temperature, salinity, and pH. The results showed that the best performer was in Treatment (B) with a density of 2,000 individuals with a survival rate of 86.02%. The results of the air quality observation study showed that almost all were still at optimal levels to support the survival of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) with an average temperature of 26.22°C. pH 7.18 – 8.08. Dissolved oxygen 3.87 – 8.06 ppm.

Bungus waters, located in Padang City, are one of the important fisheries centers in western Indonesia with high diversity of demersal and pelagic fish species. Bottom longline is an environmentally friendly passive fishing gear widely used by fishers in these waters. This study aimed to determine the effect of different bait types used in bottom longline fishing gear on fish catch in Bungus waters. The method employed was experimental fishing using a Randomized Block Design (RBD), with three bait treatments, namely tuna, scad, and small squid, each replicated nine times. Catch data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed that differences in bait type had a highly significant effect on fish catch (F_calculated > F_table at the 1% level). Squid bait produced the highest catch with an average of 10.26 kg (41%), followed by scad at 8.1 kg (33%) and tuna at 6.52 kg (26%). The catch composition was dominated by grouper (44%), snapper (18%), threadfin bream (10%), and kurisi (9%). The use of squid bait was proven to be the most effective in increasing the productivity of bottom longline fishing gear in Bungus waters, Padang, West Sumatra.

The white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the popular marine shrimp species in aquaculture due to its adaptability to various environmental conditions, including a wide range of salinity, and its omnivorous feeding behavior. This study aims to determine the effect of different combinations of stocking density and salinity on the growth rate and post larval survival of vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The research was conducted using factorial planning based on two factors namely stocking density (3, 6, and 9ekor/L) and salinity (15 ppt and 25 ppt). Parameters measured included daily growth rate, absolute weight, survival rate, feed utilization efficiency, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Water quality observations were also made during the study period including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and total ammonia. The results showed that the combination of stocking density of 3 fish/L with salinity of 25 ppt gave the best results with a daily growth rate of 0,00664 gram and a survival rate of 86%. This treatment also produced the best feed utilization efficiency of 0.87 and the best FCR value of 1.27, indicating the most efficient use of feed. Water quality parameters during the study were within the appropriate range to support the growth of vanamei shrimp.

Vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) has a fast growth rate, good tolerance to a wide range of salinity and temperature, and resistance to several common shrimp diseases. Vaname shrimp has an efficient feed conversion making it more economical to cultivate, and its international market demand is high. The research method used four treatments of fermented soybean meal doses, namely 0% (control), 15%, 25%, and 35%, each with 3 replications. The feed was formulated using Pearson’s Square method targeting 35% protein, and the soybean meal was fermented using tempe yeast method. The observed parameters included daily growth rate (%), absolute weight gain (grams), survival rate (%), feed utilization efficiency (FUE), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The results showed that the treatment with 25% fermented soybean meal dose gave the best results with a daily growth rate of 6.42%, absolute weight gain of 0.22 grams, survival rate of 90.66%, and the highest feed utilization efficiency of 0.66.

This study examines the experience of access to health services and resilience strategies in adolescents with unplanned pregnancies in Makassar, Indonesia. Access to quality reproductive health services is important for adolescents' well-being, but they often face systemic barriers that affect access to health services and outcomes. The study used an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach on seventeen adolescent girls aged 15–19 years who had an unplanned pregnancy between June–November 2023. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, recorded, verbatim transcribed, and analyzed by a six-stage science process. Two main themes were found: Navigating Closed Doors: Systematic Barriers to Care and Finding Light in Darkness: Resilience and Agency. Participants faced a variety of layered barriers, including a lack of information about health services and rights, geographical and economic constraints, age-based discrimination, parental notification obligations, fear of legal consequences especially related to abortion, family control over decisions, and limitations in adolescent-friendly services. Nonetheless, adolescents show resilience through seeking strategic help, resistance to pressure, spiritual and religious coping, peer support, gradual acceptance of maternal identity, educational sustainability, and positive meaningfulness of difficult experiences. These findings point to the need for a transformation of the health system that not only improves attitudes of health workers, but also addresses structural barriers such as confidentiality, age discrimination, and service availability, while strengthening agency and adolescent coping strategies.

This study aims to: (1) Determine the effect of the discovery learning model with the aptitude treatment interaction strategy on the mathematical concept comprehension and self-efficacy of 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Tarakan; (2) Determine the effect of the discovery learning model with the aptitude treatment interaction strategy on the mathematical concept comprehension of 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Tarakan; (3) Determine the effect of the discovery learning model with the aptitude treatment interaction strategy on the self-efficacy of 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Tarakan. The research population included all tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 3 Tarakan in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research sample consisted of two classes selected randomly: one experimental class receiving discovery learning with an aptitude treatment interaction strategy and one control class receiving conventional learning. The research instruments consisted of a test measuring mathematical concept understanding on trigonometry material and a self-efficacy questionnaire. The data obtained were tested for prerequisites through normality and homogeneity tests before being analyzed using inferential statistical tests in the form of an independent samples t-test with the assistance of SPSS software version 26.0. The research results show that the implementation of the discovery learning model with the aptitude-treatment interaction strategy has a significant impact on students' mathematical concept understanding and self-efficacy simultaneously, with a significance value of 0.006 < 0.05. Partially, this learning model has a significant effect on students' mathematical concept understanding, with a significance value of 0.018 < 0.05. However, the effect of the discovery learning model with the aptitude-treatment interaction strategy on students' self-efficacy is not statistically significant, as indicated by a significance value of 0.089 > 0.05, even though there is a tendency for increased self-efficacy among students participating in the experimental class learning. Nevertheless, the influence of the discovery learning model with the aptitude treatment interaction strategy on students' self-efficacy is not statistically significant in partial terms, although there is a tendency for an increase in self-efficacy among students participating in the experimental class. These findings suggest that the discovery learning model with the aptitude treatment interaction strategy is effective in improving students' understanding of mathematical concepts in trigonometry material and has the potential to support the development of self-efficacy in mathematics learning.
