Critical thinking skills are crucial for preparing students to face complex real-world problems and are a key component of 21st-century learning. This study aims to identify the critical thinking skill profile of 5th-grade elementary school students on the respiratory system material. Critical thinking is an essential skill in 21st-century education, particularly for developing students' abilities in analysis, evaluation, and argumentation. However, it is often neglected in science education at the elementary level. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with survey techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations to assess students' critical thinking skills. The results indicate that among the 30 students tested, 15 were categorized as Fair, 12 as Low, and only 3 as Good. No student achieved the Very Good or Very Low category. The analysis of critical thinking indicators including analyzing, evaluating, composing arguments, and problem-solving reveals that while students possess a basic understanding, they struggle with more advanced critical thinking tasks. The study concludes that students' critical thinking skills remain limited to basic comprehension. This limitation is attributed to the dominance of rote learning methods and the lack of interactive and problem-solving-based instructional strategies. Future teaching approaches should prioritize active learning and the integration of critical thinking practices to enhance students' higher-order thinking skills.

This research is a qualitative research used to determine the application of positive early childhood  discipline as well as supporting and inhibiting factors in its application. Data collection was carried out by observation and interview methods. The application of positive discipline in question includes the stages of application that are carried out technically and the application of positive discipline in essence, namely the application of the 7 principles of positive discipline. The results of the study show that the application of positive discipline is carried out through 3 stages, namely the socialization stage, the preparation stage and the implementation stage. The application was carried out in 10 study groups. The application is also applied by paying attention to the 7 principles of positive discipline which are the essence of positive discipline itself.  The factors that support the implementation of positive discipline are the readiness of educators to continue learning, the adaptive attitude of educators, the superior personality competencies possessed by educators, adequate school facilities, the ideal number of students in each class, and the Special Curriculum owned by the Institution. The factors that hinder the implementation are that educators' understanding of the implementation of positive discipline has not been comprehensive, the role of schools in the implementation of discipline has not been carried out comprehensively, and there has been no evaluation of the results of the implementation of positive discipline.

Abstract, In recent years, there have been challenges faced by MTs Al Abraar in an effort to improve student learning outcomes, especially in creating creative and innovative learning. The partners involved in this program are teachers at the Al-Abraar Tandem Hilir Private Middle School, Hamparan Perak District, where the main problem experienced by partners is the lack of knowledge in using IT in creating creative teaching materials. Therefore, the solution offered is to provide training in creating creative teaching materials to improve teachers' knowledge and skills in creating, using and optimizing the use of Canva. The location for implementing this program has been discussed with partners, namely at the Al Abraar Tandem Hilir Private Middle School located at Jln. Listrik Emplasmen Tandam Hilir I, Hamparan Perak District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. This program consists of stages of preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. In implementing this service, the team implemented the in-house training method. In the implementation of the training, the community service team provided tutorial materials on the use of Canva which would be carried out for 2 meetings (2 meetings per material) and carried out alternately with a duration of 120 minutes each. Training activities on this were carried out on August 8-9, 2024 offline with lecture methods, direct training, discussions and questions and answers. The results of this activity can be seen that the participants of the activity can recognize and can create creative teaching material designs using Canva and its supporting features and are used in teaching. The sustainability of this program can be measured by the existence of teaching materials made using Canva.

In 2022, a significant fire incident occurred at a steel tower structure in an industrial plant in Lampung, Indonesia, raising serious concerns about the structural integrity and serviceability of the affected steel framework. Fire exposure is known to alter the properties of steel, weaken bolt pretension, and cause defects in welds, underscoring the necessity of thorough post-fire assessments. Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods are crucial in evaluating the safety and stability of structures after fire exposure, as they can detect potential weaknesses without compromising the material further. This study employed two field inspection methods: the bolt torque test and dye penetrant inspection (DPI). A total of 21 bolts (Tor-1 to Tor-21) were tested for their integrity. The results showed that, while all bolts were present, more than half were found to be loosened, indicating the need for re-tightening to restore the specified torque and maintain the required preload for the bolted connections. In addition, 20 welded joints (DP-1 to DP-20) were examined using DPI to detect surface defects. The inspection revealed that 10 welds (50%) exhibited surface defects exceeding 5 mm in length, indicating areas where the welds had been compromised by the fire exposure. Seven welds (35%) were found to be in acceptable condition, while 2 welds (10%) were incomplete or had poor bonding. These findings suggest that while the bolted joints can be restored through corrective re-tightening, the welded joints require more extensive evaluation, local repairs, or even rewelding to ensure their structural integrity. This study highlights the importance of NDT methods in post-fire structural evaluations and recommends periodic inspections and targeted rehabilitation to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of industrial steel structures.

Children are individuals who are still very innocent and have not been able to distinguish between the words of parents or sexual harassment. Considering that many cases of sexual harassment are committed by people closest to the child who should be the protector of the child. The family is the school or the initial foundation of a child, therefore sexual education should be given by the family to the child since the child has begun to be able to speak or since toddler age. But in reality there are still many children who don't even know the names of their body parts, which body parts can and cannot be held by others. This service aims to provide an understanding to children about the names of their body parts including the names of their genitals and provide an understanding of body parts that can and cannot be held by others, and what to do when someone else will hold their private area. This educational activity begins with planning, implementing activities and evaluation. Based on the results of the activity, it was found that after the educational activities were carried out, children understood which areas of the body could and could not be held by others and ran to ask for help from others when someone would hold their private areas.

This study aims to analyze legal certainty in the post-acquisition integration process and its impact on the protection of shareholders' rights based on the Limited Liability Company Law (UUPT) and the Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK). Using a normative legal approach and case studies, this study finds that the absence of specific regulations, weak supervisory mechanisms, and the lack of synchronization of corporate culture are the main factors causing integration failure and potential losses for shareholders, especially minority shareholders. To realize a fair and sustainable integration process, it is necessary to strengthen internal governance based on the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), risk-based supervision, and external regulatory reforms that are more responsive to business dynamics. This study recommends the active involvement of authorities in regulating post-acquisition integration and the implementation of transparent and accountable evaluation mechanisms to protect the interests of all stakeholders. These findings contribute to the formulation of a fair and adaptive integration model in the Indonesian legal and economic environment.
