The rapid development of digital technology and the increasing complexity of financial products, from digital wallets and bank loans to cryptocurrency and investment platforms, highlight the urgent need for financial literacy education, particularly for vocational high school (SMK) students in Indonesia. Many SMK graduates directly enter the workforce or pursue entrepreneurship without attending university, making financial decision-making skills crucial. This article explores the potential of Android-based e-books as an innovative and accessible learning medium to enhance students’ financial literacy. Designed to be interactive, contextual, and engaging for Gen Z learners, the proposed e-book serves as a pedagogical supplement, not a replacement, to classroom teaching. Drawing from literature reviews, examples of existing apps, and relevant educational frameworks, the article emphasizes the importance of developing localized, curriculum-aligned digital resources. The paper concludes with suggestions for evaluating financial learning apps and recommends steps for integrating them effectively into SMK education.

Limitated of infrastructure is one of the issues affecting the continuity of education in Indonesia. The unequal distribution of facilities in schools undoubtedly makes the learning process less effective and impacts students' learning outcomes. This is particularly evident in physical education, sports, and health lessons, which require equipment for the learning process. The lack of equipment prevents the expansion of sports education and the introduction of other sports as part of the curriculum. One example is handball, which is rarely taught in schools due to the lack of balls. As a result, some schools resort to using other balls, such as volleyballs, to teach handball. Using a volleyball in handball lessons is ineffective, especially when it comes to shooting. This issue led the researcher to consider modifying the handball with a rubber ball, which is easy to find and resembles the size of a real handball. The researcher then implemented this modification in a two-cycle action research study. The results from the pre-cycle assessment showed that only 2 out of 35 students passed the shooting test. In terms of percentage, this means only about 6% of the students were able to shoot well. Following this, the researcher took action in the first cycle, and 19 students passed, about 54% of the sample. Since the results were still considered suboptimal, the researcher proceeded with the second cycle, where 32 students passed, around 91% of the sample.

This study discusses the architectural transformation of Pasar Johar Semarang before and after the major fire incident in 2015. Designed by architect Thomas Karsten, Pasar Johar holds significant historical and architectural values. The fire prompted a comprehensive revitalization of the market’s environment, site, and building while maintaining its original character. This research employs an architectural anatomy approach covering three main scopes: environment, site, and building, and uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical method through four stages: (1) documenting conditions before and after the fire, (2) classifying architectural elements, (3) comparing visual and structural transformations, and (4) drawing conclusions based on the analysis to evaluate the extent of the transformation. The results show that the revitalization made the area more organized, functional, and sustainable. Distinctive structures such as mushroom columns and drainage systems were preserved, while zoning and public spaces were reorganized to improve efficiency and comfort. This restoration not only improved physical aspects but also strengthened the market’s social function as a community interaction space. Pasar Johar now serves as an example of a traditional market that can adapt to modern urban challenges without losing its architectural identity and its potential as a sustainable economic and social hub.

Consumer protection is a crucial aspect in the face of rapid economic development and increased industrial competition, including in the bottled water sector. The Aqua product packaging defect case in Semarang in July 2017 is a clear example of weak quality control and the importance of producer accountability. Defects such as bottle caps that can be pried off without breaking the seal create uncertainty over product safety and reduce consumer confidence. Law No. 8/1999 on Consumer Protection provides a strong legal basis for consumers to obtain safe products and claim compensation for losses due to defective products. Manufacturers have an absolute responsibility to ensure product safety through the implementation of strict quality control systems, early detection of physical defects, and digital tracking for product recalls if necessary. In addition, consumer education and optimization of public complaint media are important parts of the consumer protection system. With a comprehensive preventive and corrective approach, risks due to defective products can be minimized, and public trust in the industry can be maintained.

The principle of proportionality plays an important role in ensuring the balance of rights and obligations between the parties in a reciprocal agreement. In the context of Indonesian contract law, this principle functions as a mechanism to prevent inequality that can harm one of the parties, especially in commercial and complex contracts. As stated by Hernoko (2016), the application of the principle of proportionality in commercial contracts aims to create substantive justice through a balanced exchange of rights and obligations between the parties. This study uses a normative legal approach with a literature study method, which involves an analysis of related laws and regulations and case studies. This approach allows researchers to explore the application of the principle of proportionality in various types of reciprocal agreements, including franchise agreements and construction service contracts. For example, a study by Susanto et al. (2021)1 highlights how the principle of proportionality is applied in construction service contracts to ensure a fair distribution of responsibilities between contractors and clients. The results of the analysis show that consistent application of the principle of proportionality can improve justice in contractual relationships. In franchise agreements, for example, Rahmawan et al. (2020)2 found that the application of this principle helps create a balance between the rights and obligations of franchisors and franchisees, who often have different bargaining positions. Thus, the principle of proportionality functions not only as a legal principle, but also as a practical tool to achieve justice in contractual practices.
