Pre-production photography is a comprehensive stage of preparation and planning before the production and post-production stages. This stage includes determining ideas, visual concepts, technical planning, location selection, and budget and schedule management. This stage is crucial to ensure the smooth running and success of production by minimising problems during shooting. Conceptual photography is photography with a design that carries a specific concept. This type of photography is included in fine art photography, which focuses on conveying ideas and abstract feelings through images. The resulting photographs prioritise the idea behind the work and often use imagination. The pre-production stage of the conceptual photography ‘Mother's Hands’ depicts mothers as loving and strong figures who maintain their identity as women with traditional Javanese nuances. This work conveys a message about the balance between domestic roles and self-esteem and reflects cultural values. The balance between the roles of woman and mother is the concept. The mother is the bearer of household responsibilities and an educator, while also being a woman who maintains her dignity and appearance with grace as a form of self-respect. Visually, this photographic work presents a Javanese mother who is a housewife and her accomplished daughter, who is the result of her mother's upbringing. The photoshoot took place indoors, with gebyok accents and other supporting props in line with the concept. The final result of the conceptual photography ‘Tangan Ibu’ is a photo that combines aesthetic and narrative elements through a meaningful visual presentation. This work provides an experience that is not only visually appealing but also invites emotional engagement from the audience. It can also serve as a reference for photography.

This study aims to analyze the influence of capital variables and production costs on the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Kediri area, East Java. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques through the distribution of questionnaires to MSME actors. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software version 26. The results of the study show that both capital and production costs have a significant influence on the income of MSMEs. Capital plays a key role in supporting business operations and expansion, while production costs affect efficiency and profit margins. These findings indicate that increasing access to capital and optimal management of production costs can be an important strategy in increasing MSME income. This research provides practical contributions for stakeholders, including local governments and financial institutions, in designing policies for empowering MSMEs that are more targeted. In addition, the results of this study can be a reference for further research that focuses on other variables that also affect the performance of MSMEs. Thus, a deeper understanding of microeconomic factors can encourage the sustainable growth of the MSME sector in the Kediri area and its surroundings.

This research aims to develop an innovative dessert product called Panna Cotta Wedang Kacang that combines Italian culinary elements with traditional Indonesian flavors. Panna cotta, a classic Italian dessert made from milk and gelatin, is creatively infused with wedang kacang, a traditional Javanese beverage consisting of sweet ginger broth and boiled peanuts, to create a unique taste sensation that reflects local cultural values. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) method with an experimental approach to determine the best formulation based on organoleptic aspects, namely taste, aroma, texture, and appearance. Organoleptic testing was conducted with 30 panelists using a 1–5 hedonic scale. The results indicate that the optimal formulation is achieved from a combination of panna cotta made with liquid milk, cream, sugar, gelatin, and wedang kacang broth in a 2:1 ratio, topped with boiled peanuts. The final product received the highest scores for taste and aroma, particularly due to the harmonious blend of the creamy mild flavor of panna cotta and the warm sweetness of ginger from the wedang kacang. Additionally, the nutritional content of the product was analyzed descriptively, demonstrating that Panna Cotta Wedang Kacang has the potential to serve as a functional dessert due to its plant-based protein and antioxidant content from ginger. The conclusion of this research is that Panna Cotta Wedang Kacang is well-received by consumers and has the potential to be developed as a modern dessert alternative with a local touch.

Increasing the rate of entrepreneurship is crucial for promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, as it serves as a vital component of the economy and job creation. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention among Generation Z (Gen Z), with a specific focus on financial literacy and motivational factors as mediating variables. A total of 114 Gen Z individuals domiciled in West Java participated as respondents in this study. The research employed quantitative methods with data collection through questionnaires and data analysis techniques using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that financial literacy does not have a significant direct effect on entrepreneurial intention. However, motivational factors are found to play an essential mediating role, strengthening the indirect effect of financial literacy on entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the study shows a direct and positive relationship between motivational factors and entrepreneurial intention, as well as a direct effect of financial literacy on motivational factors. These results suggest that enhancing financial literacy alone may not be sufficient to increase entrepreneurial intention without the support of strong motivational drives. The implication of this study highlights the importance of designing educational curricula and training programs that not only build financial knowledge but also foster entrepreneurial motivation. Such efforts can ultimately strengthen entrepreneurial intention and contribute to sustainable economic growth. The limitation of this study lies in its focus on Gen Z respondents exclusively from West Java, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.

The fisheries sector plays a vital role in the national economy and represents a significant potential source of foreign exchange.

The research methodology includes both primary and secondary data collection through interviews and field observations, analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive approach. Data were collected directly from interviews and on-site observations to gain relevant insights into the current conditions of the Bandeng Sultan business. The results indicate that the SWOT coordinate score (0.6: 0.57) places the business in a favorable position, supporting the adoption of an aggressive growth strategy. Recommended strategic actions include enhancing digital and e-commerce marketing, expanding into the Java market and exploring export opportunities, diversifying product offerings and innovating flavor varieties, as well as improving product quality and hygiene standards. These findings demonstrate that UMKM Bandeng Sultan possesses strong internal capabilities and promising external opportunities for growth. Therefore, the implementation of aggressive strategies was considered appropriate to increase competitiveness and ensure long-term business sustainability in a highly competitive market environment.

This study aims to describe how stereotypes occur in cross-cultural communication between PMM and PNM students and to examine their impacts on students’ achievement and interaction. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires to capture both behavioral and perceptual aspects of communication. The findings reveal several key points. First, initial interactions shaped expectations and assumptions about each other’s behavior and culture. Second, stereotypes often caused miscommunication, misunderstandings, and confusion in interpreting messages. Third, they influenced group dynamics, including cooperation, participation, and conflict resolution. Fourth, students’ perceptions of identity, both personal and cultural, played a role in shaping their interactions. Fifth, the study identified both positive and negative impacts. Positive effects included enhanced Javanese language skills, increased cultural awareness, strengthened group identity, and cognitive shortcuts that facilitated understanding of others. Negative effects involved communication gaps, misinterpretation, discrimination, cultural barriers, and language difficulties. Overall, the study highlights that stereotypes in cross-cultural communication are a double-edged sword: while they can provide quick cognitive frameworks for understanding others, they can also impede effective communication and collaboration. These findings emphasize the importance of cultural sensitivity, awareness, and reflective practices in multicultural student interactions to maximize learning and minimize conflicts.

This research presents a phenomenological inquiry aimed at deconstructing the conventional marketing paradigm and offering a deeper understanding of alternative practices. It specifically explores the anti-marketing strategy grounded in Islamic values as implemented at Warung Jendil Mbah Yamah, a traditional micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) located in Blitar, East Java. Employing a qualitative approach combined with a phenomenological method, the study gathered rich and nuanced data through several techniques, including in-depth interviews with nine carefully selected informants, participatory observation over an extended period, and systematic documentation studies. The thematic data analysis conducted by the researchers revealed that the warung’s anti-marketing strategy rests firmly on three interconnected pillars: (1) a strong reliance on organic word-of-mouth  communication rather than paid advertising, (2) the deliberate creation of an authentic, personal, and inclusive customer experience that builds emotional bonds with visitors, and (3) the consistent integration of Islamic ethical values into every aspect of business operations. These findings provide a meaningful theoretical contribution by synthesizing the concepts of anti-marketing and Islamic entrepreneurship into a new model of “authentic marketing,” where ethical and spiritual values serve as the strategic foundation for long-term sustainability. In practical terms, the results offer guidance for the broader development of MSMEs in Indonesia, showing that authenticity, ethical commitment, and adherence to core values can represent a stronger and more sustainable competitive advantage than conventional promotional strategies.

This research was conducted on fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 01 Karang with the aim of analyzing the effect of the implementation of the Javanese culture-based Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on students' communication skills in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research subjects were 25 students, consisting of 12 male students and 13 female students. This type of research is quantitative with a One Group Pre-Test Post-Test Design. The research procedure began with the administration of a pre-research questionnaire to determine the level of instrument validity, and the results of the validity test showed that there were 10 questionnaire items that met the valid criteria for use in data collection. Data analysis was carried out through a normality test using the One-Sample Shapiro-Wilk formula and a hypothesis test using the Paired Sample T-Test formula. The results of the analysis showed a significance value <0.000 with a probability <0.05, so it can be concluded that the research hypothesis is proven, namely there is a significant effect of the implementation of the Javanese culture-based PjBL model on improving the communication skills of fourth-grade students. These findings confirm that project-based learning linked to local cultural contexts not only improves communication skills but also helps students better understand and appreciate their local cultural values. Thus, cultural integration in the PjBL model is an effective strategy for improving the quality of learning, both academically and strengthening students' cultural identities.

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to structure and format text documents through the use of tags that control the appearance of content on web pages. HTML defines various document elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, and lists, which form the basic structure of a webpage. JavaScript, on the other hand, serves as a programming language that adds interactivity and dynamics to web pages. While HTML provides the basic framework for website layout, JavaScript enhances functionality with features that cannot be achieved through HTML alone, such as dynamically manipulating elements and responding to user interactions. Together, these two languages form the core foundation for web development. This program aims to equip students of SMAN 58 with the skills to practice using HTML tags, understand the basics of JavaScript programming, and develop interactive web pages through online simulations. The training will be conducted in stages, beginning with the submission of a proposal to the school and followed by the scheduled training in June 2024. Students will use the One Compiler platform for real-time practice, allowing them to write and execute HTML and JavaScript code directly in the browser. The training will be conducted interactively, introducing the fundamental concepts of HTML and JavaScript, along with demonstrations showing how to create dynamic websites. In the final phase, students will take a quiz designed to assess their understanding of the material and their ability to apply the knowledge gained. Through this program, it is expected that students will master the basic skills of website creation and have the ability to independently develop their own interactive web projects. Additionally, this program aims to enhance students' digital awareness and technical skills in the era of information technology.

Based on variables X (influence of local culture) and variable Y (guest satisfaction), this study aims to find out the extent to which the application of local culture can affect the level of guest satisfaction. The results of the study show that local culture is applied through various aspects, including the use of traditional ornaments in hotel interior design, services that prioritize Javanese cultural ethics, and the presentation of regional culinary specialties. This effort is not only a marketing strategy, but also creates a different and memorable experience for guests. According to the management, local culture is an identity as well as an added value that can significantly increase guest satisfaction. Guests feel like they're getting a unique experience that is not only functional, but also emotional. This emotional attachment affects guest loyalty to return, thus having a positive impact on the sustainability of the hotel business. In conclusion, local culture plays an important role as a differentiating factor that improves the quality of service and strengthens the image of Hotel Royal Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta in the midst of fierce competition in the hospitality industry. Thus, the application of local culture can be used as a sustainable strategy to create a competitive advantage.

This research examines the aesthetic value of the selendang (sash or shawl) worn by the sindhen (female singer) in wayang kulit purwa (Javanese shadow puppet) performances, and the shift in its meaning amidst the current of digitalization. The selendang, as an element of attire, functions not only as an aesthetic complement but is also laden with philosophical and symbolic meaning in Javanese culture. Traditionally, the selendang worn by a sindhen possesses aesthetic value that emanates from the choice of motifs, colors, and the way it is worn, reflecting elegance, social status, and spiritual depth. In performances, the selendang also serves as a dance prop that enhances movement and strengthens the sindhen's expression. The era of digitalization brings new challenges and opportunities for traditional performing arts, including wayang kulit purwa. This study employs a qualitative approach with literature review and observation of both live and digitally broadcasted wayang kulit performances. The results indicate that in the current digital era, a shift has occurred in several aesthetic aspects of the sindhen's selendang. There is a trend towards using more diverse and modern materials and motifs, sometimes adapting techniques like digital printing to create more visually appealing on-screen presentations. Nevertheless, the core values of the selendang as a symbol of refined character and artistic beauty are maintained, and even further explored to cater to a broader and more modern audience. The digitalization of the performance stage also influences the sindhen's interaction, where the selendang is sometimes used more dynamically

Preterm birth remains a global health concern, with 1 in 10 babies worldwide born prematurely. In Indonesia, the preterm birth rate is 29.5%, with 19% in Central Java and as high as 30% in Kendal Regency. Preterm infants require specialized care, making maternal readiness a crucial factor in ensuring optimal home care. This study aimed to analyze the effect of educational interventions using a booklet on mothers’ knowledge and skills in caring for preterm infants. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pre- and post-test control group was employed. A total of 20 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Bivariate analyses were conducted using the McNemar test for paired data and the chi-square test for unpaired data. The results showed a significant improvement in mothers’ knowledge after receiving education with the booklet (p < 0.05), whereas the lecture and leaflet methods showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). However, there was no significant improvement in caregiving skills in either the booklet group or the lecture and leaflet group (p > 0.05). In conclusion, booklet-based education effectively enhances maternal knowledge regarding preterm infant care but does not significantly improve caregiving skills. This highlights the need for practice-based interventions, such as hands-on training and demonstrations, to strengthen maternal competence in managing preterm infant care at home.
