This study examines the dynamics of church music regulation implementation in the congregation of the Adventist Secondary School – Surya Nusantara Adventist University (SLA-UASN) Pematangsiantar (September 2022–December 2025). The goal is to describe the implementation of the regulation in worship practices, address challenges, reveal congregational responses, and align local practices with the views of Ellen G. White and official SDA documents. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method; data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 informants, participant observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically using source triangulation. The results indicate that the regulation originates from church regulations (SDA Church Guidelines) and local policies, but is disseminated orally, resulting in differing understandings. There is intergenerational tension between supporters of traditional music (hymnals) and contemporary music that has not been bridged dialogically. Resistance from music ministers arises from inconsistent implementation and minimal involvement in policy development. Communication between music leaders and ministers remains weak, with no regular evaluation forum, resulting in a continued decline in the quality of music worship. This study concludes that effective music regulation requires clear written documentation, structured intergenerational dialogue, ongoing music theology education, and inclusive and participatory pastoral leadership.

This study was motivated by students’ low conceptual understanding of temperature, heat, and thermal expansion at SMP Negeri 28 Batanghari, where learning achievement remained below 50%. Instruction predominantly used PowerPoint-based media, resulting in passive learning and limited contextual engagement. This study aimed to develop web-based interactive multimedia (GlidesApps) integrated with Cepak Kapung ethnoscience that is valid, practical, and effective in improving seventh-grade students’ conceptual understanding. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using a development model consisting of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The resulting product, named LokaSains, is a web-based learning application accessible via smartphone, laptop, or computer without installation. It presents learning content on temperature, heat, and thermal expansion integrated with the ethnoscience of Cepak Kapung, a traditional cake from Batanghari Regency. Content expert validation obtained a score of 91.07% (very valid), while media expert validation reached 87.50% (very feasible) after two revisions. Teacher practicality assessment produced 98.33% (very practical), and student responses in small-group and large-group trials reached 94% and 90.35%, respectively (very good). During implementation with 28 seventh-grade students, the mean pretest score increased from 46.07 to 76.79 in the posttest. A paired samples t-test produced t = −13.053 with Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference in conceptual understanding before and after using the multimedia. The N-Gain score of 0.57 indicated moderate effectiveness in improving learning outcomes. Accordingly, the LokaSains interactive multimedia is considered valid, highly practical, and effective for teaching temperature, heat, and thermal expansion at junior high school level.

Coal stockpile volume measurement is an essential part of mining production control. This study aims to evaluate the calculation of coal stockpile volume using a Total Station (TS) at PT. Bukit Baiduri Energi, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province, and to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of this method in operational activities. Data acquisition was carried out through direct field measurements using a Total Station with a detailed surface point survey method. The collected data were processed using Minescape 5.7 software to generate a triangulated surface model, and the volume was calculated using the Cut and Fill method. The results show that the Total Station method produced a stockpile volume of 21,069.15 m³ with a high level of accuracy due to direct field measurement. This method provides advantages in elevation data accuracy; however, it requires relatively more time and manpower during the data acquisition process. Based on these findings, the use of Total Station is recommended for stockpile volume calculations that require high accuracy, particularly for production evaluation and coal reserve reporting.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is one of the most common arrhythmias in the pediatric population, often resulting from re-entry mechanisms involving accessory pathways or dual atrioventricular nodal physiology. Although generally well tolerated in children with structurally normal hearts, its management can be challenging, particularly in recurrent or persistent cases. This study is a case report describing a pediatric patient with hemodynamically stable SVT treated at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records, including history taking, physical examination, and supporting investigations such as serial electrocardiography (ECG), laboratory tests, chest radiography, and transthoracic echocardiography. Management was conducted according to current clinical guidelines, including vagal maneuvers, pharmacological therapy with beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic agents (amiodarone), and monitoring of treatment response based on clinical evaluation and ECG, along with identification and treatment of underlying triggers. We report a case of a 10-year-old female presenting with suspected SVT and pericarditis, who experienced episodes of narrow QRS complex tachycardia that were successfully converted to sinus rhythm following amiodarone administration. Echocardiographic evaluation revealed mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation with preserved ventricular function. Laboratory and radiological findings suggested an underlying inflammatory process, which was considered a triggering factor. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach in the diagnosis and management of pediatric SVT, including addressing underlying conditions and ensuring continuous monitoring to prevent recurrence.

Effervescent granules are a pharmaceutical dosage form that offer advantages in terms of ease of use, improved palatability, and rapid solubility in water. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical properties of vitamin C Effervescent granules using the dry granulation method. The main materials used included ascorbic acid as the active substance, citric acid and tartaric acid as acid sources, and sodium bicarbonate as the base source. Evaluation was carried out on organoleptic properties, flow properties, pH, angle of repose, moisture content, density, compressibility index, and dispersion time. The results showed that the granules met the requirements for organoleptic properties, pH (4–5), angle of repose (38.41°), compressibility index (12.3%), and dissolution time (49.62 seconds). However, the flow property (29.11 seconds) and moisture content (6.47%) did not meet the established standards. These findings indicate that the formulated granules met most of the evaluation parameters but still require optimization, particularly in the drying process and flow properties, to obtain a more stable and high-quality dosage form.

Edentulism is a condition of total tooth loss that has a significant impact on the efficiency of mastics, phonetics, and facial aesthetics. This case report presents the rehabilitation of a 72-year-old female patient with a condition of total mandible edentulus using two standard-diameter implants that support the overdenture with a locator retention system. Treatment procedures include clinical evaluation, radiographic analysis, implant placement, prosthesis placement, as well as follow-up evaluation to assess function and comfort. The results of the treatment showed an increase in patient retention, stability, and comfort in daily activities. In addition, patients reported improved confidence and quality of life after the use of implant-based overdentures. These findings confirm that overdenture with mandibular implant support is a predictive, effective, and reliable rehabilitation method in treating total edentulism. The success of this case provides clinical evidence that implant-based approaches are able to overcome the limitations of conventional prostheses, as well as being a solution that supports the functional and psychosocial aspects of elderly patients. Thus, implant-based overdenture can be recommended as the primary therapeutic option in the rehabilitation of mandibular edentulism.

Desa Manggihan in Semarang Regency is an environmental education tourism village supported by culinary MSMEs providing souvenirs. However, MSME actors faced challenges in business communication, including low self-confidence, suboptimal non-verbal communication, and an inability to deliver the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) of their products. This Community Service (PKM) activity aimed to improve verbal and non-verbal business communication skills, self-confidence, and elevator pitch techniques among partners. The method used was participatory training conducted on May 20, 2026, at the Manggihan Village Hall, involving three culinary MSME actors: producers of fried cheese cassava, crispy papaya floss, and peanut brittle (gula kacang). The activity stages included needs analysis, training, elevator pitch simulation, and qualitative descriptive evaluation through participatory observation. The results showed a significant improvement across all observed aspects. The MSME actors, who were previously passive and only mentioned prices/ingredients, became proactive, demonstrated better eye contact and open body language, and successfully delivered their product's USP briefly, clearly, and compellingly. This participatory training is proven effective in strengthening partners' business communication skills to better welcome tourists.

Adolescence is an important transitional period characterized by the maturity of the reproductive organs.In coastal areas such as Suppa District, lack of access to scientific information increases the risk of inappropriate sexual behavior among adolescents.The PkM aims to increase students' understanding of reproductive anatomy and physiology, provide prevention education related to sexually transmitted diseases,early pregnancy, promiscuity, and encourage the implementation of a clean and healthy lifestyle.The target of this activity was students in grades VIII and IX of SMP Negeri 2 Suppa, Pinrang Regency,South Sulawesi Province, with the number of participants reaching 60 people.The implementation method was carried out with an active participatory approach, including filling out a pre-test questionnaire,delivering material through interactive lectures with the help of multimedia presentation slides and booklets, Focus Group Discussion  to overcome participants' awkwardness,and ending with filling out a post-test.The success of the program was evaluated based on knowledge improvement through a structured questionnaire instrument.The results of the evaluation showed a significant increase in the average student understanding by 45.0%,from the average pre-test score of 43.3% to 88.3% in the post-test. The highest increase in knowledge was recorded in the STD prevention and promiscuity categories, from 35.0% to 85.0%.This activity has proven effective in improving students' objective medical understanding and correcting false myths in society.As a further tactical step, it is recommended that schools activate School Health Unit  in collaboration with local health centers and form peer counselors guided by BK teachers to maintain the sustainability of the positive impact of the program.

This activity aims to improve the knowledge, awareness, and anti-corruption competency of final-year maritime cadets from all APPI member universities regarding international and national maritime anti-corruption regulations, further strengthening the ethical decision-making abilities of maritime cadets in dealing with corrupt situations in ports and on ships through a simulation approach based on real cases. This activity is designed as a participatory educational workshop with an active and experiential learning approach to adult learning (andragogy), which allows the implementation team to simultaneously collect scientific data on the effectiveness of workshop interventions in increasing participants' anti-corruption knowledge and awareness. The activity is carried out through three main stages that are systematically structured, namely the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation and follow-up stage. The results of the activity confirm the effectiveness of the participatory workshop approach based on real case simulations (experiential learning) in significantly increasing knowledge and changing anti-corruption attitudes of maritime cadets in a relatively short duration. Furthermore, cadets have a stronger stock of knowledge, awareness, and moral commitment to deal with corrupt situations in the work environment. It is concluded that the participatory workshop approach based on real-life case simulations is an effective, efficient, and replicable strategy in empowering the next generation of Indonesian seafarers to face the challenges of corruption in the global maritime industry.

Middle order thinking skills (MOTS) questions are very important in Christian religious education learning. Evaluation of Christian religious education learning needs to be carried out by educators (teachers) based on each learning material so that students' academic achievement can be achieved well. In general, educators (teachers) do not fully understand the concept of middle order thinking skills (MOTS), as well as low order skills (LOTS) and high order skills (HOTS), so that some students find it difficult to answer questions given by educators (teachers) during learning evaluations. The type of research used is qualitative research with a literature review/literature study approach. The purpose of the study is to explain the understanding of the meaning of MOTS in Christian religious education learning on materials that are in accordance with learning objectives, so that students' academic achievement can be achieved well through learning evaluations. The results of the study are students are able to answer questions well from the middle order thinking skills (MOTS) type of questions when educators (teachers) create learning evaluation questions based on learning materials. Conclusion; To create evaluation questions for Christian religious education learning that students can answer and achieve academic success, ideally, questions should be based on the learning material they have learned.

This research is based on the importance of implementing the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum in shaping the character and religious understanding of students in madrasas who still face various challenges in practice.

The research uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research through reviewing various relevant scientific literature. The research results show that the implementation of the PAI curriculum has been carried out, but has not run optimally, especially in the implementation of learning which is still conventional and evaluations which focus more on cognitive aspects. The research conclusions show that the success of curriculum implementation is influenced by teacher competency, innovation in learning, and the development of a more comprehensive evaluation system.

The furniture industry is a strategic sector in the regional economy, including in Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, where the JeparaWaidoko furniture business owned by Mr. Agus Komarudin has been operating since 2010. In running its business, Mebel JeparaWaidoko faces various operational risks that have the potential to disrupt production continuity, employee safety, and financial stability. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the risk management process at this business, including risk identification, risk analysis and assessment, evaluation and prioritization, and implementation and monitoring of risk controls. The method used was descriptive qualitative, using in-depth interviews with the business owner and field observations. The study identified three main risks: the risk of flooding, the risk of workplace accidents due to the use of production machinery, and the risk of rising raw material prices. All three are categorized as high-priority risks requiring planned and systematic management. These findings indicate that risk management practices at Mebel JeparaWaidoko remain informal and intuitive, despite the implementation of simple control measures. This study recommends formalizing an ISO 31000-based risk management system, improving occupational health and safety programs, and diversifying raw material suppliers as medium-term strategic steps

This study aims to evaluate the application of environmental management accounting in the management of work programs at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. The research is motivated by increasing environmental problems, particularly waste volume and limited management facilities, while environmental management accounting has the potential to assist agencies in identifying, measuring, and reporting environmental costs as a basis for decision-making and public accountability. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that the Environmental Agency has implemented environmental management accounting, but its recording is still manual and does not separate environmental costs from general operational costs. This condition complicates cost evaluation and program impact assessment. Work program management has been structured and evaluated regularly, but performance measurement still focuses on output, not long-term environmental impact. Information transparency is also still limited to activity publications. Overall, the application of environmental accounting is at a basic stage and has not been fully integrated into the work program planning and evaluation process. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical implications in the form of strengthening understanding of the role of environmental management accounting and the need to improve the work program recording and evaluation system at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency.

Risk management is a crucial aspect of business sustainability, especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector which face various business environment uncertainties. This study aims to analyze the implementation of operational risk management at Warung Ecco Roso Kediri, covering the processes of risk identification, analysis, evaluation, control, and monitoring applied by the business owner. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, using in-depth interviews and field observation for data collection. The results showed that the implementation of operational risk management at Warung Ecco Roso Kediri has been carried out across all process stages, yet it remains simple, informal, and based on the owner’s experience without systematic documentation. The main identified risks include raw material risks, market demand risks, business competition risks, as well as service and hygiene risks. The control strategies implemented focus on maintaining product quality, operational efficiency, and price adjustment. Although the applied system is not formally structured, these risk management practices are considered effective in maintaining business stability and continuity. This study recommends the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), risk documentation, and the use of a risk matrix to improve risk management effectiveness in the future.

The rapid development of AI-assisted programming has encouraged the emergence of vibe coding, an approach to software development in which developers focus more on formulating intentions, contexts, and constraints through prompts rather than writing code manually. However, existing evaluations of AI-generated code still tend to emphasize functional correctness and productivity, and therefore have not fully addressed the relationship between user intent, technical code reliability, and developers’ understanding of the generated artifacts. This study aims to propose a new evaluation method called TD-VCEM (Three-Dimensional Vibe Coding Evaluation Method) to assess vibe coding practices in a more comprehensive and auditable manner. The proposed method consists of three primary dimensions: Intent Alignment to evaluate the conformity of code with prompt requirements, Code Reliability to assess the technical quality of the generated code, and Developer Cognition to measure developers’ understanding of AI-generated code. TD-VCEM is designed through several stages, including prompt decomposition, prompt-to-code traceability matrix, code reliability assessment, and developer cognition evaluation. Each dimension employs indicator-based scoring rubrics normalized on a scale of 0–100, enabling the construction of a Vibe Coding Evaluation Score (VCES). This study does not present empirical experimental results; instead, it offers a methodological framework that can serve as a foundation for evaluating AI-generated code in modern software engineering environments. The proposed TD-VCEM is expected to improve review process transparency, reduce security risks, strengthen software maintainability, and ensure that developers maintain control and understanding of AI-generated code artifacts.

This community service activity aims to improve the competency of Regional Apparatus Work Unit (SKPD) personnel in preparing monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with Government Accounting Standards (SAP). This activity uses a participatory approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 95 participants consisting of Financial Administration Officers and expenditure treasurers from various SKPDs in the Semarang City Government. The evaluation indicators included participant participation, improvement of understanding, identification of reporting problems, and formulation of follow-up actions. The finding, based on the results of the post-test, an average of 80% of participants showed improvement, particularly in account classification, transaction recording, and periodic report preparation. The FGD identified four major issues: limited mastery of financial information systems, data input errors, insufficient competent human resources, and weak inter-unit coordination causing delays in report submission. As post-FGD outcomes, participants agreed on the need for continuous technical training, standardized operating procedures, optimization of information system integration, and the establishment of a reporting coordination forum. These results provide evidence that FGD was effective not only in evaluating participants’ competencies but also in generating practical solutions to enhance transparent and accountable regional financial governance.

This study aims to analyze the role of the principal in evaluating the Qur’an reading program using the Batiq Izzati method at RA Al-Izzah in Serang City. The principal holds a strategic responsibility in ensuring the quality of education, including the implementation of religious programs that play a crucial role in shaping Islamic character in early childhood. The Batiq Izzati method is an internally developed approach by the Al-Izzah Foundation, designed to facilitate Qur’an reading through a gradual, enjoyable, and child-friendly method. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the principal has fulfilled eight key leadership roles; however, the evaluation process is not yet optimal due to limited time and insufficient parental involvement. Evaluations are conducted daily by teachers and periodically by the principal to determine students' progress through different levels (jilid). Supporting factors include competent teachers, adequate facilities, and a structured evaluation system, while inhibiting factors involve time constraints and limited human resources. This study recommends strengthening the principal's role in continuous evaluation and fostering better collaboration between the school and parents to enhance the program's effectiveness.
