This study aims to analyze the need for a flipbook as a teaching material for response texts integrated with the principles of politeness. The background of this research stems from the limitations of response text teaching materials, which are still integrated into printed textbooks without incorporating essential politeness principles. This research employed a qualitative method with data collected through questionnaires and interviews involving seventh-grade students at two junior high schools in Dander District, Bojonegoro Regency. The findings indicate that most students prefer response text material to be presented separately and packaged in the form of an engaging and easily accessible digital flipbook. Furthermore, students consider the integration of politeness principles into response text material important to help them express opinions politely and without offending others. Therefore, it can be concluded that a flipbook teaching material integrated with politeness principles is necessary to enhance the quality of learning.

An effective educational process involves three main components: learning, teaching, and learning. Learning is defined as the modification of behavior through experience, which includes changes in individual abilities. Teaching is an activity carried out by educators to transfer knowledge and skills to students, while learning is the interaction between educators and students in creating a conducive learning environment. This article discusses the definition, principles, and general procedures in learning, teaching, and learning. These principles include attention, motivation, activeness, direct involvement, repetition, reinforcement, and use of teaching materials. The learning procedure consists of introductory components, core activities, and closing. By understanding and applying these principles and procedures, it is hoped that the learning process can take place optimally and produce positive changes in students.

This qualitative literature review investigates the unintended consequences of director and officer (D&O) liability protection on corporate tax avoidance. By examining relevant studies, the review reveals that D&O liability protection can inadvertently foster aggressive tax avoidance behaviors due to the moral hazard it creates for executives. While these protections aim to shield executives from personal financial risks, they may unintentionally encourage risky tax strategies that prioritize short-term gains over long-term corporate sustainability. The findings highlight the importance of strong corporate governance and regulatory reforms to mitigate such consequences. This review contributes to understanding the complex relationship between D&O liability protection and corporate tax avoidance, emphasizing the need for more effective oversight and policies to align executive decision-making with broader public and corporate interests.

This qualitative literature review examines the moderating effects of firm size and environmental conditions on entrepreneurial orientation (EO), market orientation (MO), and entrepreneurial marketing (EM). The findings reveal that firm size influences the implementation and outcomes of EO, MO, and EM, with smaller firms leveraging flexibility and larger firms utilizing resource scale. Environmental conditions further shape the efficacy of these approaches, with dynamic markets amplifying their impact.

However, contextual variability and methodological constraints limit the generalizability of the findings. This review contributes to entrepreneurial strategy literature and provides actionable insights for managers to align strategies with organizational characteristics and environmental dynamics. Future research should explore additional moderators and incorporate empirical validation for a more comprehensive understanding.

Dunstan Baby Language (DBL) identifies five distinct infant vocalizations (“neh”, “owh”, “eh”, “eairh”, “heh”), each associated with a specific need. An Android application, Madzas, translates these vocalizations, aiding caregiver understanding.

The Ecological Literature Batik Making Project with PKK Women and the Batik Workshop Community of Sawojajar Village, Malang City is a community service activity carried out in the framework of the PPG Teacher Candidate Leadership Project Wave 2 Year 2024. This program aims to integrate the art of batik with the concept of ecological literature, as well as introduce natural dyeing methods as an environmentally friendly alternative in batik production. This activity began with an observation that found that the use of synthetic dyes in the batik industry in Malang City is still dominant, thus potentially polluting the environment. In addition, the involvement of PKK mothers in productive activities oriented towards economic sustainability and environmental conservation is still limited. The implementation of this project was conducted through a series of trainings and workshops that included an introduction to hand-drawn batik techniques as a cultural heritage, an understanding of ecological literature in batik motifs, and the practice of making natural dyes using indigofera. Participants were also trained to apply the concept of ecological literature in batik designs made in various products, such as totebags, cushions and tablecloths. The results of this activity show that the active participation of the community in batik training with natural dyes can increase awareness of more environmentally friendly textile production practices. It is hoped that this project can become a sustainable movement in the use of natural dyes in the batik community in Malang City and open up new economic opportunities for the community, especially PKK mothers. In addition, through the introduction of ecological literature in batik motifs, this activity also contributes to educating the public about the relationship between humans and the environment through textile art.

This article analzses sixteen short stories in modern Javanese literature. Those short stories were published between 2003 and 2005 in Panjebar Semangat, a Javanese weekly periodical in Surabaya. Using Anderson’s concept of power in Java as the main theoretical framework, I delve into the sixteen short stories to understand how power operates after the 1998 Indonesia’s Reformation. In addition, I also use Anderson’s, Geertz’s, and Magnis-Suseno’s concepts of harmony in Javanese society as the second theoretical framework to analyze how the sixteen short stories reflect the relationship between the rulers and the people. The analysis shows that the sixteen short stories are loaded with the corrupt power causing disharmony in modern Javanese and Indonesian societies. The corrupt power in Indonesia did not only happen during the New Order regime but also in the Reformation Order regime. After the Reformation, people hoped that those in power would become much better in creating welfare, prosperity and justice for the people, but they were as corrupt as or even more corrupt than those during the New Order regime. The corruption of power has many manifestations which cause further distance between the rulers and the people, and thus creating disharmony in Javanese society. Since most authors of Javanese literature are from the ordinary people, they take side with the common people. Even though the analyzed short stories are far from being the voices of all people in Java, at least they represent the voice of the voiceless.

This study examines the dynamics of speech acts in the H. POD Channel podcast that presents LGBT couples as speakers. The background of the research is based on the role of pragmatics in understanding the meaning of speech and the function of podcasts as a dialogic medium for sensitive issues. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of speech acts that appear and analyze the language strategies of the LGBT community in identity negotiation. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach; primary data in the form of podcast episode transcripts are analyzed using Austin and Searle's speech act theory, as well as secondary data from pragmatics literature. The results of the study show that assertive speech acts are most dominant, followed by expressive, directive, and commissive, which reflect the conveyance of facts, expression of feelings, invitation, and commitment. Language use also displays identity negotiation and responses to heteronormative norms. This study concludes that the pragmatics approach is effective in revealing the dynamics of communication and identity construction in digital public spaces.
